Chapter 758: Uchiha Sasuke Should Have Died (5k)
Chapter 758: Uchiha Sasuke Should Have Died (5k)
"Naruto, you're being naive. Why would you believe the words of an enemy? Uchiha Sasuke must have had some ulterior motive when he told you those things."
Dai Tu scoffed.
Before his death, Uchiha Sasuke had asked Dai Tu to visit the Minakami Shrine, but Dai Tu couldn't be bothered.
Why would he listen to a despicable guy who wanted to kill Lord Moonlight and Hinata?
"Maybe he wanted to tarnish Konoha's reputation, create chaos, and make it easier to deal with the village."
Dai Tu thought it was better to pretend he hadn't heard Sasuke's words, especially since Uchiha Itachi was already dead in Naruto's world.
"Yeah, because I'm not sure if it's true or not, Kakashi-sensei told me not to tell anyone else in the village," Naruto nodded, keeping Itachi's situation to himself.
Dai Tu's expression was complicated. Although he knew that the Kakashi Naruto mentioned wasn't the one he was familiar with, he still felt uncomfortable.
Naruto called him 'big brother', and Naruto called Kakashi 'teacher', which made Dai Tu feel like Kakashi was suddenly a generation older than him.
"What motive could he have? I can't think of any reason other than making me angry."
Naruto shook his head in bewilderment.
At that moment, he really wanted to punch Uchiha Sasuke, who was trying to manipulate Sasuke.
Unfortunately, Uchiha Sasuke's abilities were too bizarre; he appeared and disappeared without a trace, and even Yamato's Wood Style couldn't do anything to him.
"Could it be because I convinced Nagato, and he's trying to make me feel uncomfortable?"
Naruto scratched his head and speculated.
"If Uchiha Sasuke in your world is that bored, I'd call him the dumbest Uchiha Sasuke."
Dai Tu chuckled and casually teased.
"So, you have Nagato in your world too? He's not the evil Akatsuki ninja, is he?"
Dai Tu immediately noticed a familiar name in Naruto's words.
Even before they realized that the two worlds were parallel, Dai Tu had speculated that the Akatsuki organization founded by Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan was the predecessor of the evil Akatsuki.
"Yes, he's Uchiha Sasuke's subordinate, but Nagato is different from that bastard Uchiha. He yearns for peace; he just has the wrong approach."
Naruto nodded in agreement.
"Lies mixed with enough truth can deceive people, and there might be some truth in what he said."
Shizui, having finished his thoughts, spoke up.
His view was slightly different from Dai Tu's.
It was certain that Uchiha Sasuke had ill intentions, but to say that everything he said was a lie wasn't necessarily true.
"If the conflict between the clan and the village continues to escalate, there's a high possibility of a military coup," Shizui thought to himself.
He had been working hard to resolve the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha, and his understanding of the situation far exceeded Dai Tu's.
It was all because the Second Hokage was a member of the Senju clan, and some Uchiha wanted to stage a coup to seize power, especially after the Nine-Tails incident, when the entire clan was pushed to the margins.
"I think so too. After all, our two worlds should have many similarities, and I thought this information might be useful to you, so I called you out."
Naruto scratched his head and said.
In this world, he would have a happy and content life with his parents.
At the same time, Naruto also hoped that Sasuke in this world could live as happily as he did.
Instead of having his parents and all his clan members killed by his beloved older brother, Sasuke wouldn't need to seek revenge and betray the village for power.
"Shizui, you understand the clan matters better. What do you think?"
Dai Tu turned to Shizui and asked.
To the outside world, Dai Tu was the current representative ninja of the Uchiha clan.
However, Dai Tu wasn't interested in clan affairs, and with only a few friends like Shizui and Asuma in the clan, he didn't have a deep understanding of the Uchiha clan's true situation.
"Naruto, thank you for the information, but our world won't have such incidents."
Shizui first thanked Naruto and then replied.
With his and Lord Moonlight's efforts, the Uchiha clan was almost as integrated into Konoha as the other ninja clans. Once some of the stubborn elders in the clan passed away, the Uchiha clan would be fully integrated.
"The reason your world's Uchiha clan staged a coup was mainly due to long-standing conflicts, and the Nine-Tails incident brought..."
Shizui explained the underlying principles to Naruto.
"Huh? So, the Uchiha clan won't be exterminated?"
Listening to Shizui's analysis from various angles, Naruto instantly felt overwhelmed, scratching his head and asking.
Shizui nodded; from the outcome, it was indeed the case.
"That's good."
A brilliant smile appeared on Naruto's face.
This way, the other Sasuke could also live a happy life.
"Naruto, you can't do this. If you want to become Hokage, you need to read more books."
Looking at Naruto, Dai Tu inexplicably felt a sense of intellectual superiority.
This was because he completely understood Shizui's analysis.
It felt no different from when Lord Moonlight explained history and politics to him.
"Uchiha Itachi..."
Shizui sighed softly.
If what Uchiha Sasuke said was true, then Uchiha Itachi was also pitiful, bearing the burdens of both the clan and Konoha at such a young age.
Of course, this didn't mean Shizui approved of Uchiha Itachi.
After all, Uchiha Itachi was the culprit who exterminated the Uchiha clan.
Moreover, Uchiha Itachi claimed to be infiltrating Akatsuki, but according to Naruto, Itachi's infiltration had little effect.
Additionally, why did Itachi have his Sharingan, and what did he intend to do with its power, was another unsolved mystery.
"Since they're all dead, there's nothing we can do."
Shizui shook his head, dispelling the stray thoughts in his mind.
If Uchiha Itachi hadn't died, he could have traveled to another world and captured Uchiha Itachi, forcing him to reveal the truth.
But with Uchiha Itachi's death, the real truth is likely known only to the Leaf Village's upper echelon and Uchiha Sasuke in another world.
"However, we should pay more attention to Itachi."
Previously, he thought that the other world's Itachi had failed to stop the clan massacre because 'he' had died in a dangerous mission before the massacre. He never expected it to be Uchiha Itachi's doing.
Based on past experiences, people from the two worlds are extremely similar.
To prevent Itachi from going astray, he needs to provide guidance.
Just like Nagato, the Nagato in their world had received the correct guidance from Moonlight and thus walked on the right path.
In Uzumaki Naruto's world, Nagato became Uchiha Sasuke's subordinate and took the wrong path.
The environment can have a significant impact on a person.
...
In the early morning, a tantalizing aroma awakened Naruto from his slumber.
"It's Brother Moonlight's ramen!"
Realizing the source of the aroma, Naruto opened his eyes wide, sprang up like a carp, quickly put on his clothes, and rushed towards the source of the scent.
They were staying in a large homestay rather than a hotel, and the dinner the night before was also Moonlight's exquisite cooking.
"Brother Moonlight, you're too..."
Naruto rushed towards the kitchen to thank Moonlight, but before entering, he paused at the sight of a white-haired figure at the dining table, momentarily speechless.
Noticing Naruto's gaze, Jiraiya stopped slurping his noodles and raised his eyebrows, saying, "Even if you stare at me like that, I won't let you have my ramen."
For Jiraiya, who had traveled the world, it was not easy to eat Moonlight's cooking. Even Tsunade would have to consider it.
Naruto wiped the corners of his eyes and couldn't help but smile, "Who wants to eat the leftovers of a perverted sage? Brother Moonlight must have made a portion for me too."
After saying this, Naruto ran into the kitchen.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Naruto saw a steaming bowl of miso chashu ramen.
"Take it and eat, it's freshly made."
Moonlight said with a faint smile.
Naruto wiped the corners of his eyes, and they became moist again.
"Brother Moonlight, thank you."
Naruto didn't go for the ramen but bowed sincerely to Moonlight. He was truly touched.
He missed Jiraiya, so Moonlight brought Jiraiya, and in the morning, he prepared Naruto's favorite ramen.
It was like this last time, and Naruto felt overwhelmed. Did he deserve such treatment from Moonlight? They weren't even from the same world.
Clap.
Moonlight tapped his index and middle fingers together and knocked on Naruto's forehead, "Don't overthink it. Ramen gets cold and loses its taste."
His willingness to do these things was simple; they were effortless for him.
Compared to Moonlight's world, Naruto's original world was truly miserable.
"Yeah, yeah, Brother Moonlight, you come and eat too."
Naruto nodded heavily.
Moonlight didn't refuse. He carried a bowl of ramen and walked out with Naruto.
At this time, the other disciples were also waking up, following the aroma to the kitchen.
"How come you're here, Toad Sage? Are you coming with us to the other world too?"
Kakashi asked curiously as he saw Jiraiya eating ramen.
"Another world?"
Jiraiya asked in return.
In fact, he was traveling in the surrounding countries of Loulan and had received Moonlight's message, so he came over.
As for Uzumaki Naruto, Jiraiya still held the past perception, considering Naruto as a future ninja.
Naruto opened his mouth, wanting to interrupt Kakashi's words, but in the end, he didn't speak.
He didn't want Jiraiya to take risks.
But Naruto had no right to say so, otherwise, what would be the point of Moonlight and Kakashi volunteering to help?
Wouldn't Moonlight and the others encounter danger? Weren't their lives just as valuable?
Moreover, Naruto understood Jiraiya.
If Jiraiya was determined to help, there was no stopping him.
Kakashi looked at Moonlight. Parallel worlds weren't as sensitive as future worlds, but this was still classified information.
Moonlight nodded.
He believed there was no need to hide this from Jiraiya.
If Jiraiya was interested in going to the parallel world, they would take him along.
After all, Jiraiya wasn't weak. Even if he couldn't help, he wouldn't cause trouble.
With Moonlight's backing, even if Jiraiya got himself into trouble, Moonlight would find a way to bring him back.
"Actually, Naruto isn't from the future, but..."
Kakashi briefly explained the situation of the parallel world and the Fourth Great Ninja War.
"So that's how it is. Another world, Uchiha Sasuke..."
Jiraiya showed a surprised expression and then fell into deep thought.
At the dining table, the only sound was the slurping of noodles.
"It seems we arrived just in time."
Kakuzu looked at the group enjoying Moonlight's ramen with shining eyes.
After Moonlight's identity was exposed, he had tasted Moonlight's cooking, and it was simply divine.
"Indeed."
Nagato nodded.
To catch breakfast, they deliberately quickened their pace and arrived in Loulan ahead of time.
"Or maybe we just missed it."
Sasori observed and said.
Some people had already finished eating, and their bowls were no longer steaming, indicating that some time had passed since the meal began.
"Hey, Kakuzu! Sasori! Nagato!"
After finishing his ramen, Naruto glanced at the source of the voice and subconsciously assumed a combat stance.
"Who's this blond brat with no manners?"
Kakuzu crossed his arms and sized up Naruto.
After all, he was the finance minister of the Shinobi Alliance, and even the Kage addressed him as Minister Kakuzu.
"Oh, sorry, I mistook you for someone else."
Naruto, realizing his mistake, apologized with an embarrassed expression.
Nagato was fine, but Kakuzu and Sasori were almost identical to the Kakuzu and Sasori he remembered.
He almost wanted to rub his eyes in disbelief.
"He must be the ninja from the parallel world."
Sasori thought for a moment before speaking.
The night before, Lord Moonlight had contacted them, sharing some information about their parallel world and asking them to come to Loulan to travel together to the parallel world.
It's worth mentioning that Kakuzu wasn't on the initial list, but after learning about it, he proactively requested to go, saying he wanted to verify some ideas.
Given Kakuzu's decent strength and tenacious vitality, Lord Moonlight agreed.
"Is this your descendant from another world, Lord Moonlight?"
Kakuzu looked at Lord Moonlight and then at Naruto as he spoke.
Naruto's face didn't resemble Lord Moonlight's, but their hair color was very similar.
"Don't guess blindly. The other world doesn't have me, and the two worlds are only similar, not completely identical."
Lord Moonlight explained, then took out several steaming bowls of ramen from the large black container.
It had to be said that the large black container was indeed useful for preserving food.
"This world is so wonderful."
Naruto gazed at the newly joined ramen-slurping trio, marveling in his heart.
Even though he didn't yet understand Lord Moonlight's world, including Nagato and the others, he could still gather some information from their behavior and the reactions of Dai Tu and the others.
In this world, Nagato, Kakuzu, and Sasori were definitely not members of an evil ninja organization that wreaked havoc in the ninja world.
"Jiraiya, you're here too?"
Just a few minutes after Nagato and the others arrived, another voice that made Naruto's heart skip a beat echoed.
Naruto turned his head, barely managing to suppress the urge to assume a combat stance.
The newcomer was none other than Orochimaru, the one who had killed the Third Hokage, destroyed Konoha, and influenced Sasuke to betray the village! There were few people in this world who could evoke such hatred in Naruto, and Orochimaru was one of them.
Fortunately, Naruto's mind was clear, understanding that although both were Orochimaru, they couldn't be lumped together. He forced himself to suppress his initial impulse.
"You're going to the other world too?"
Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru and asked.
Orochimaru nodded affirmatively.
Among the initial aid personnel, aside from Lord Moonlight's disciples whom he wanted to take for training, there were only Orochimaru and Sasori.
Orochimaru and Sasori were both research-oriented talents, and taking them to the parallel world could bring back some valuable insights.
Additionally, Orochimaru and Sasori were also known for their tenacity and ability to survive, making it less likely for things to go wrong.
"You're going too?"
Orochimaru asked.
"I want to go. After all, it's another ninja world, and such a plot is rarely seen in ninja novels."
Jiraiya smiled.
Since Orochimaru was going as well, there wasn't much to think about. It was like going on a trip with friends.
As he spoke, Jiraiya kept an eye on Lord Moonlight's expression.
He was Lord Moonlight's senior, but Lord Moonlight was now the leader of the entire ninja world. If Lord Moonlight thought he shouldn't go, Jiraiya wouldn't argue.
Fortunately, Lord Moonlight's face didn't show any signs of disapproval, and he even nodded slightly. Jiraiya thought that Lord Moonlight must have agreed.
After finishing breakfast, Naruto went to a spacious area to train.
This world was wonderful, but it wasn't his world. This world already had its own Naruto.
His world was still in the midst of a dangerous war, and he had to become as strong as possible, then join Lord Moonlight and the others to defeat Uchiha Sasuke and save the ninja world.
"Divine Art: Yang Breath Chakra Mode!"
Naruto adjusted his breathing, transforming the gathered natural energy into sage chakra, and instantly entered Sage Mode and Chakra Mode, charging towards Lord Moonlight's clone.
Lord Moonlight's current strength had reached a level beyond the imagination of ordinary ninjas. Even his clone forced Naruto into a tough battle.
Dai Tu, Kakashi, and the others were also training nearby. When they took a break from their practice, they would come to watch Naruto's training.
At 9:30, Maito Gai, who had been summoned by Lord Moonlight, arrived in Loulan and joined the large group of trainees.
"So dedicated,"
Dai Tu exclaimed.
Naruto seemed to have boundless energy. Every time Dai Tu thought Naruto would rest, Naruto would catch his breath for a moment and start again.
"Naruto's current mood is the same as when we faced Uchiha Sasuke. If we could have paused our training for a while, we would have done the same."
Kakashi said.
Dai Tu nodded in agreement. The world being tormented by Uchiha Sasuke's war must have many people dear to Naruto.
"Damn you, Uchiha Sasuke!"
Dai Tu couldn't help but curse in his heart. Uchiha Sasuke was truly despicable, a super villain in every world.
"Naruto, your Yang Style and Wind Style are both impressive, but your Yang Style enhancement is too rough. You need to better combine your Sage Technique, Yang Style, and Wind Style—these three powers."
Lord Moonlight halted Naruto's training and spoke.
In a short time, he might not be able to help Naruto customize a Wind Style version of the Super Sage Breathing Technique, but by improving his techniques, he could still raise Naruto's upper limit.
After speaking, Lord Moonlight swiftly gathered natural energy, extending his palm to demonstrate for Naruto.
After reaching the Perfect Rank in the seven chakra attributes, his understanding of chakra had reached a whole new level. The fusion of the two chakras could only be described as simple and straightforward.
"Lord Moonlight, I understand."
Naruto thought for a moment, then formed hand seals to create numerous Shadow Clones.
Shadow Clone Training Method was tiring, but it was also genuinely fast.
"Eh?"
Within the consciousness space, the Nine-Tails, confined in its cage, sensed something and showed a look of surprise.
"Lord Moonlight..."
Naruto was about to ask Lord Moonlight a question when a flash of golden and fiery light suddenly entered his vision, leaving him stunned.
