[Ding! Congratulations to the host on becoming the Allied Shinobi Forces Captain!] [Congratulations to the host on receiving five draw chances! Current draws: eight!] [Friendly reminder: a ten-pull makes it easier to obtain miraculous items!]
The system notifications, which Shihōin Naraku had not heard in so long, echoed through his mind, making him involuntarily stop what he was doing.
Allied Shinobi Forces Captain?
What kind of position was that?
How had such an unfamiliar position suddenly fallen out of the sky?
The system's notification certainly could not be wrong, so he must have been assigned a position.
Wait... the Five Kage Summit...
So that was it!
Sure enough, the Five Great Shinobi Villages were joining forces against the Akatsuki!
But...
Naraku murmured inwardly, With my strength, if I've only been appointed captain, that means the Five Kage still aren't taking the Akatsuki seriously. So they must have only assembled a single team!
So, unlike in the original plot, Obito didn't disguise himself as Madara to provoke them and declare war. That left the Five Kage insufficiently concerned.
In that case, the Shinobi World is still only in a state of chaos. It hasn't developed into war yet.
Holding his chin, Naraku frowned as he carefully considered the current situation.
War is certain to break out. It's just that every village is pursuing its own little schemes and watching out for its own interests, unable to wholeheartedly commit all its strength to wiping out the Akatsuki.
Unless, just like in the original story, someone makes a huge move right in front of them, provokes the Five Kage, and initiates a war that engulfs the Shinobi World!
It looks like I'll need to have a proper discussion with Black Zetsu about our next plans.
At that thought, Naraku suddenly
