A Brief Explanation

First, thank you to all the big shots who cast their monthly tickets and recommendation votes; at the very least, you've kept me from feeling like I'm writing to an empty room.

This is my first book on Qidian, as my previous one on Chuangshi lost connection with this side. I've been writing for four years, so I'm not exactly a newcomer, but sometimes my mentality still threatens to shatter.

From the very beginning, the premise of this book has been about how the plot would unfold once intelligence is obtained.

Black Zetsu silently killed Six Paths Madara, so why wouldn't he be able to kill Fugaku through a sneak attack? The initial possession was indeed a bug on my part, but the logic behind a sneak-attack kill should hold up.

Another point: it is impossible for Black Zetsu to ignore Obito; he is an important pawn, and that is beyond doubt.

And then there is intelligence!

Please take note, my dear readers: the condition of intelligence is, in fact, extremely important in the ninja world—so important that as soon as a fight begins, both sides start analyzing the other's intel.

Throughout the entire Naruto series, from Kakashi's analysis in the Land of Waves at the start, to Minato saying during the Fourth War that the Third should go first to gather intel thanks to his Impure World Reincarnation body.

The supporting characters in my book are never fools. Because Obito was captured two years ago, he went back and started working hard after picking up the scrolls Madara left behind; this is Obito's growth.

The Self-Exerting Curse Binding Seal used against Minato was a means to decide the outcome based on intelligence analysis.

In the entire Naruto series, aside from a few dimwits, there really aren't many fools; everyone makes basic intelligence analyses.

My dear lords, I kneel and thank you once again for the monthly tickets and recommendation votes you've cast. Thank you.

By the way, I'd like to recommend a book; it seems to be the first Lu-Nuo fanfic, [Dragon Raja: Restarting the New World].
