If Only Rin and Sakura Were Swapped

From the "training plan" Shirozumi gave Kakashi, one could see his attitude towards the Masked Man, Uchiha Obito.

Shirozumi didn't plan to use any method to persuade him, like he did with the other Akatsuki Organization members.

Because there was simply no way to persuade him.

Shirozumi could persuade others because he clearly knew what everyone needed and what they were pursuing.

Even Itachi, another member of the Uchiha psychopath club, only had Konoha and Sasuke in his heart.

These two conflicted in the original story. Itachi could threaten to reveal Konoha's information for Sasuke's sake, and he could also want to use Kotoamatsukami to control Sasuke for Konoha's sake.

Because in Itachi's heart, these two could coexist, and objectively, it was indeed possible.

So, what did Uchiha Obito want?

First, let's rule out resurrecting Nohara Rin.

He definitely knew about the Rebirth Technique.

Even if he didn't want to die himself, he could have just said a word while Nagato was resurrecting the people of Konoha and hitched a ride.

So, was it because he had traveled the Ninja World and determined that the Ninja World was dark and hopeless?

Maybe.

But the problem is, this was his own perception problem.

For example, the original Akatsuki Organization was a bunch of cheerful and optimistic young men.

Even if Hanzō and Danzo set up a conspiracy, there was actually a chance to turn the tables. The Akatsuki Organization's original cannon fodder bro was even preparing to report the news, but Obito stopped him.

Others yearn for light, but you go and kill them, and then start blaming the World for being too dark. Isn't that a bit strange?

Was Obito preparing to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi and create a World with Rin?

Those who only have a superficial understanding of Uchiha Obito might think so, but that's not actually the case.

Uchiha Obito said that he wanted to create a World where heroes didn't have to cry sadly in front of tombstones.

Some might say that this doesn't conflict with Nohara Rin being alive, right? If no one dies, then there's no need to grieve, right?

But the problem is, in the "perfect World" that Uchiha Obito imagined, which was comparable to the Infinite Tsukuyomi he used on himself, Nohara Rin still died.

The only difference from reality was that Kakashi wasn't grieving in front of the tombstone, but had become his deputy, assisting him, the Hokage, to live a good life.

Of course, this might just be the result of Uchiha Obito imagining what would have happened if he had chosen another path back then, so Rin still died. This wasn't the result, but the premise.

But even so, it indirectly showed the contradictions between his various ideas.

Shirozumi could only say that if Rin could switch places with Sakura, there wouldn't be so many problems.

Instead of bandaging Obito's wounds and encouraging him when interacting with Obito, she would smile at another teammate who had also lost his parents and say, "See, doesn't he not have parents? No wonder he's so ill-mannered."

If Obito still wanted to create a World with Sakura, then one could only say that Obito had a bit of a masochistic tendency.

Even if Sakura's personality changed slowly later, that wouldn't hinder Obito from losing his charm.

In short.

Faced with this situation, Shirozumi found it difficult to understand.

He couldn't possibly run over there and start repeating himself, shouting "Didn't you also want to be Hokage once?" Hokage, Hokage, Hokage, like an ancient god whispering, and use this method to persuade him, right?

So Shirozumi didn't plan to persuade Obito.

In addition, there was another purpose.

The Five Great Shinobi Villages can cooperate, definitely not because of "love" or "understanding." The most core reason is that they have a common enemy.

Even if the people of the Five Great Shinobi Villages did develop these ideas in battle later, the most core and basic thing was a common external enemy.

The people of the Akatsuki Organization might believe Shirozumi about the Otsutsuki Clan, but even if the Five Great Shinobi Villages were told, how many would believe it?

It would take at least twenty years for the Otsutsuki Clan to reach the Ninja World.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, the only one existing in the Ninja World, couldn't be found for the time being.

This is where Obito's role comes into play.

On the other side, after the Konoha four left, Shirozumi and his group escorted the old man to continue forward.

On the way, Zabuza began to talk about what he had been interrupted from saying earlier.

But he was interrupted again after only a few words.

"Zabuza, I know your goal. You want to change the Bloody Mist, and we can support you in that."

Shirozumi not only knew the members of the Akatsuki Organization like the back of his hand, but he was also very clear about what Zabuza wanted.

Zabuza defected because he assassinated the Mizukage.

When taking Haku away from the village, Zabuza said, "Tonight, I will abandon the Land of Water, but I will definitely come back and take control of this country."

This only reflects Zabuza's ambition.

But from the subsequent appearances of various Kirigakure Ninja, whether it was the rogue Ninja Kisame Hoshigaki, or Suigetsu who was taken away by Orochimaru, or even the upstanding Sixth Mizukage Chojuro, all of them spoke of Zabuza with great respect.

This shows that Zabuza did indeed launch a revolution to assassinate the Mizukage in order to break the Bloody Mist, and became a rogue Ninja after his failure.

"What?"

Zabuza was a little surprised.

First of all, how did he know?

Is the Akatsuki Organization's intelligence capability so terrifying?

Secondly, why did he agree so easily?

Could it be that this is beneficial to them?

"Have you seen the Ninja World map? The location of the Land of Waves means it is the best channel for the Land of Water to conduct foreign trade, especially after the bridge is built, which will be even more convenient.

I need you to control this place, and under the planning of the headquarters, develop and manage it here to provide continuous funding."

Shirozumi took out a map from the small bag behind him and unfolded it with both hands.

"Then that's not surprising."

Zabuza understood after hearing what Shirozumi said.

Many small countries cannot afford Ninja Villages, and even if they can, the scale is very small.

Similarly, it is very difficult for wandering Ninja to obtain funds, and they can only become mercenaries and accept bounty missions.

For Ninja, money is essential.

Since the other party is a force, it naturally needs a lot of funds.

According to what the other party said, the Land of Waves is indeed a good place if the Land of Water can develop trade.

But the problem is that Kirigakure has been shrouded in the Bloody Mist for a long time and has not had normal foreign diplomatic activities for a long time, let alone trade.

If it wants to recover, the best way is indeed to assist him in breaking the Bloody Mist.

"Oh, right, Kisame, I remember your crime as a rogue Ninja was assassinating a Daimyo, right? Is this charge a false accusation, or did you really do it?"

Shirozumi looked at Kisame Hoshigaki.

"No."

Kisame denied it.

After he killed his superior Suikazan Fuguki, who was colluding with the enemy, he began to doubt the system of Kirigakure.

However, he did not assassinate the Daimyo; he was truly confused.

Then he met "Madara", and the Fourth Hokage Yagura, who was controlled by "Madara", and directly joined the Akatsuki Organization, which was considered a defection.

There was no time in between to assassinate any Daimyo.

"So, are you interested in making this a reality?"

As soon as Shirozumi said this, the others were instantly shocked, and each had different opinions.

Only Kisame, the person involved, did not have any waves and directly gave the answer: "No problem."
