Konoha

Uchiha Clan Compound

In the courtyard of the Second Elder, Uchiha Kyo, Naraku gently pushed open the door and strode in. What came into view was a tiny child sitting in a rocking chair, holding a book.

"Naraku."

Uchiha Zensui was sunbathing in the courtyard when he saw Naraku. He got up and greeted him softly, holding the book "The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi" that Naraku had given him earlier.

"Zensui, it's been over three months, are you still reading this book?"

Naraku saw Zensui holding the "The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi" and smiled.

"Yes, I've watched it many times. I admire Naruto, the protagonist of <The Legend of the Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi>, for his indomitable will."

But how can people possibly understand each other in this world?

The protagonist Naruto's thoughts in this book are probably the same as those of the author Jiraiya. This idea is indeed admirable, but I think it's highly unlikely.

Uchiha Zensui made no attempt to hide his opinion on the protagonist of "The Tale of the Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi".

"Hehe, it's very good that you have some insights after reading it."

However, Zensui, you think Naruto's idea of peace is unrealistic.

So what are your thoughts on peace?

Naraku was somewhat interested in Zensui's words, but he didn't quite agree with the ideas conveyed in the book "The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi"Naraku.

"I think the Akatsuki I joined before, and the ideas of Akatsuki leader Pain, were still quite feasible."

Collect the Tailed Beast, create weapons of mass destruction; a single attack could destroy a city.

Countries, intimidated by the power of such weapons, will hesitate and dare not easily provoke war.

I believe this kind of peace concept is more reliable.

Uchiha Zensui responded in a deep voice.

Previously, Zensui was recruited by Obito to join the Akatsuki. Zensui thought Obito's idea of Eye of the Moon Obito the Akatsuki was childish and ridiculous.

Akatsuki believed that the will of Pain, another leader of Zensui, was reliable and feasible.

However, Zensui was unwilling to be subordinate to anyone. How could the Akatsuki, with its missing-nin who were like stray dogs, be compared to the Uchiha?

However, after Zensui's actions failed again, under the will of his grandfather Uchiha Kyo, Zensui finally realized the truth.

"I know a bit about the Akatsuki. The leader's ideas are indeed good and worth learning from."

However, I personally believe that if the Shinobi World could be unified and only one country remained in the world, then there would be no more wars; at most, there would only be some disagreements and internal strife.

Large-scale massacres by ninja forces are unlikely to occur, or even happen, under the authority of a powerful nation.

"Unify the world, eliminate war, and restore peace to the world. What do you think of this approach?"

Uchiha Nara agreed with Pain's idea, which was the nuclear deterrence from his memories of Naraku past life.

Under the influence of nuclear deterrence, it must be effective.

Naraku's ideal was to unify the world, standardize the written language and the gauge of carts, leaving only one country in the world. In that case, there would be no war, at most only internal turmoil.

Compared to the conflicts among the Five Great Nations of the Shinobi World, the impact of internal turmoil will be much smaller.

"Unify the world? And thus eliminate war? Heh, so Naraku's ambitions are so lofty."

Whether it's the deterrence of devastating weapons or the unification of the world, it's all for the peace of the Shinobi World.

"Zensui is merely your pawn, Lord Naraku. I'll go wherever you tell me to. As for strategic ideas, I think that's not something I should be concerned with."

Zensui didn't have a core ideology. Apart from Obito's Eye of the Moon Plan, which Zensui thought was utterly absurd, he believed that Akatsuki's and Naraku's ideologies were both correct.

"For the sake of my ideals, I need more assistants. Zensui, you have the Mangekyō Sharingan, and after three months of silence, your mind has become calmer."

I have a task to complete, and I wonder if you could help me with it...

For more than three months, Naraku saw Zensui obediently accepting the confinement order, staying in this courtyard and not going anywhere.

Besides reading Naraku's "The Story of the Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi," he Jiraiya consulted many books on the history of the Shinobi World during the Warring States period, and his mind was finally at peace.

Naraku believed that Zensui could be activated.

"Naraku, please give your orders."

Zensui had indeed returned to inner peace, feeling neither sad nor happy, as if she had returned to the way she was when she Naraku.

"My philosophy is that I do not want other countries to become too powerful."

The Land of Wind is not a concern for the time being, while the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning are well-informed and difficult to control from behind the scenes.

Although the Land of Water is one of the Five Great Nations, it is isolated overseas and has limited access to information. I want you to go to Kirigakure in the Land of Water and use your Mangekyō Sharingan to control the Mizukage.

"Kirigakure, the village known as the Village of the Village of the Bloody Mist, your mission is to make that blood mist even redder, to intensify the internal strife within Kirigakure, to disrupt Kirigakure... and even, to disrupt the entire Shinobi World!"

Naraku's face was solemn. After slowly finishing his speech, he asked:

Are you confident?

"I see. So this is how they start plotting against a great power? As long as I can infiltrate Kirigakure and make contact with the Mizukage, I'm confident I'll have no problem."

Zensui spoke in a proper and conventional manner, lacking the arrogance of someone who had previously claimed to be the best in the world.

"Hahaha, that's excellent!"

Seeing Zensui's confidence, Naraku couldn't help but laugh heartily, and continued:

"Manipulating Mizukage is only one aspect."

What I am about to announce is a series of tasks.

Secondly, since you've been recruited by Akatsuki, it's fine to try to maintain contact with Akatsuki, gather Akatsuki, or even assist Akatsuki.

Third, there should be a strange person in the Akatsuki who is half-black or completely black. We should pay special attention to information about this person and his actions.

If you have the chance, kill him.

Naraku's issuance of a series of missions somewhat suggests that he is replacing Obito as a replacement.

The mission is exactly the same as the one previously assigned to Orochimaru: to disrupt the Shinobi World.

"I have joined Akatsuki, but my disappearance will arouse their suspicion. However, I will do my best to complete these missions and investigate their intelligence."

Zensui considered for a moment before answering in a deep voice.

"Good! Zensui, you have indeed improved."

Naraku offered a compliment, then continued with an extremely serious expression:

"Finally, I want to add that this task is very brutal..."

If you accept this mission, you will bear the stigma of orchestrating the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha, be expelled from Konoha, be classified as an S-rank missing-nin, and be hunted down by Konoha at the cost of your life.

"Besides me, no one knows your true situation. From now on, you can only contact me directly. Can you bear this injustice?"

This task was somewhat heavy, Naraku quietly looked at Zensui. Since Zensui cared so much about his reputation, Naraku had no good way to deal with him if he refused, and could only assign him another task.

"No need, I'm willing. Consider it my atonement! Grandpa took the blame for me, but I can't forgive myself."

He dedicated his entire life to the Uchiha, and so do I. From now on, I entrust the Uchiha clan to you, clan head!

After a slight hesitation, Zensui quickly made a decision and agreed.

"Don't worry, I will."

Naraku spoke softly, his eyes Flash Cut red light Sharingan rapidly transformed into Mangekyo shape.

"Ten Thousand Years Like Emptiness!"

As Naraku's right eye power fluctuated, Uchiha Zensui's five-year-old body rapidly grew, returning to its previous adult form in about five seconds.

Ten Thousand Years Like Emptiness. Naraku's right Dōjutsu accelerates the flow of time, and like the time he can control with his left eye, it can control up to thirty years.

This timeframe represents only the current limit of Naraku's eye power, not the limit of Naraku ambition.

The very name of this Dōjutsu reveals Naraku's ambition to control the river of time!
