In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 156 Akatsuki's Supreme Resolution: Building a Peaceful World for the Future

"Is that really how they are?"

Orochimaru suddenly realized.

With his mindset as a scientist in the ninja world, and based on his previous analysis of Kaguya Naoki's cells, he quickly connected the dots and figured out the truth.

"So, you mean that the Byakugan and Shikotsumyaku can promote and evolve each other?"

Naoki Kaguya nodded slightly, but Orochimaru didn't pay any attention and remained deep in thought.

The reason is...

"Are they Yang Release and Yin Release?"

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, eager to find the real answer.

This ninja scientist truly had his eyes opened today.

"Yes."

"The underlying connection between the Byakugan and the Corpse Bone Pulse is Yin Escape and Yang Escape."

"Or rather, the ninjutsu systems in this world can always be connected by something like chakra."

Orochimaru didn't notice the words "this world" that Kaguya Naoki mentioned; he simply smiled fanatically.

"I understand what I need to do in the future."

Orochimaru subconsciously licked his lips, revealing a fiery smile.

"Naoki-kun, I will find a way to further improve your Byakugan and Shikotsumyaku."

"I hope that once your Corpse Bone Vein evolves to the highest level, I can see a different kind of scenery, unique to immortals."

"It will not let you down."

Naoki Kaguya smiled.

"That is absolutely divine power."

"Believe me, Orochimaru, this is the power that leads directly to the highest level in this world."

Supreme?
Orochimaru revealed a strange smile.

“Look forward to that day.”

Originally, he only wanted to use his research results to obtain funding.

However, after hearing Kaguya Naoki reveal such a secret, and knowing that the future of Shikotsumyaku and Byakugan would be the legendary Sage level.

Orochimaru has a new goal, the same one that Kaguya Naoki had set for him.

In other words, to evolve the Byakugan and Shikotsumyaku to the highest level.

"Get back to work, Orochimaru."

"However, don't abandon your experiments with the cursed seal. I have a great use for it."

"Then I'll keep the child."

"After all, to conduct a cursed seal experiment, you need materials that you don't value, as well as an assistant."

"whatever."

Naoki Kaguya waved his hand, smiled, and left, closing the door behind him.

The power that leads to the gods.

Orochimaru shifted his gaze from Kaguya Naoki's back and turned to look at the culture vessel.

You really know me well, Naoki-kun.

If you don't say this, if you don't tell me all this, how can I possibly do my best?

just now.

I'm about to really put in the effort.

After a long while, Orochimaru opened a secluded spot and saw Kabuto Yakushi sitting imposingly in the center of the room, seemingly resigned to his fate.

Not bad kid.

Orochimaru was very satisfied with this.

"You little brat under Danzo, you should recognize me, right?"

Following the sound, Kabuto barely opened his eyes in the light. He pushed up his glasses, no longer choosing to hide his identity and emotions.

Speak frankly.

"Of course, Orochimaru-sama."

"Back when I was still at the Konoha front-line camp, you personally took a liking to me."

"It's good that we know each other."

Orochimaru retracted his long, serpentine neck.

“You’re a smart person; you know what you should do.”

"Come on, help me with some things."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru, I am happy to serve you."

Kabuto followed silently, offering no further resistance.

He wanted to live, to live to see Dean Pharmacist Nonou.

There is.

I met Sister Hong.
-
A few days later, Kaguya Naoki, who was slacking off in the Mizukage's office, rubbed his eyes, looked at the scroll in his hand, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

A smile appeared on his face.

It seems like the finale is coming soon.

Soon, even Nagato will join me?

Naoki Kaguya looked at the scroll with black text on a white background again; it was written very clearly.

The Akatsuki organization wanted to use Nagato's Sage Eyes and the power of the rest of the Akatsuki members to discuss the possibility of future cooperation between the Akatsuki and Kirigakure.

Since they've come to the point of discussing this with me, doesn't that mean the Akatsuki organization has already made a decision after these days of observation?

Soon, the Akatsuki organization will be cooperating with us to at least some extent.

Naoki Kaguya placed the scroll solemnly on the table and began to think carefully.

If only Nagato, the only one with the Rinnegan, could join Kirigakure or become an affiliated organization of Kirigakure.

Not only will it grant me the qualification to use the Rinnegan, but it will also allow me to take my first step on the Six Paths level.

It can also elevate the combat power level of Kirigakure to a new level.

Slowly tapping the table, Kaguya Naoki opened the table drawer and put on the mask that belonged to him.

At this crucial moment, if I don't add fuel to the fire, wouldn't it be a waste of all the identity I've painstakingly cultivated?
"Hasn't Senior Tree returned yet?"

"Is there any news from the teacher either?"

Yahiko respectfully inquired about the relevant information, and only breathed a long sigh of relief after receiving a negative reply.

Since the last major upheaval in the Akatsuki organization, senior Nagato Itsuki and teacher Jiraiya have stepped forward with their heads held high.

Their prestige within the Akatsuki organization was subtly rising, to the point that it might even threaten their own positions.

Yahiko certainly didn't care about status.

just.

At this crucial historical juncture, at this critical moment when Yahiko wanted Akatsuki to maintain a certain level of cooperation with Kirigakure to jointly achieve world peace.

He really didn't want the two seniors to stop him.

As for whether the two seniors will deny it, isn't that obvious?
As a member of the Uzumaki clan, Tree-senpai had a deep-seated hatred for Kirigakure. Before his injuries healed and once he had no problem raising funds, he immediately chose to leave Kirigakure.

Jiraiya, of course, is even more of a different story. As a Konoha ninja, he certainly wouldn't have any goodwill towards a village that had just dealt a heavy blow to Konoha in the war.

"Yahiko, it's alright."

"I will always stand behind you."

Seemingly sensing Yahiko's nervousness, Nagato offered his support, while Konan remained silent, standing quietly behind Yahiko.

"Since that's the case, then I'll be frank."

Yahiko took a long breath.

"After observing these past few days, you've probably all noticed that there's a strange kind of magic in Kirigakure."

Everyone seemed to have an inexplicable drive and an inexplicable happiness.

The Akatsuki members all nodded silently. They had truly experienced this during their hard work in saving Yahiko.

Even they were infected.

of course.

They came from the Land of Rain, and by comparison, working in Kirigakure seemed like a happy life.

Yahiko took in all of this and was slightly pleased, but he continued his speech calmly.

I really didn't know what that was.

The Akatsuki members in the audience became serious.

Yahiko spoke.

Just then, a gust of wind howled past the window, rustling countless leaves.

"Down with the old world, build a new world."

"This is what everyone in Kirigakure is doing."

"The source of that magic is also very simple."

"We all come from the Land of Rain, so we know what kind of place it is."

"Blood, ruin, filth, darkness." The Akatsuki members slowly lowered their heads.

If that weren't the case, why would they choose to join the Akatsuki?

They all yearn to change the damned state of the Rain Kingdom, and to change the damned state of the world!

Yahiko continued.

"Everyone here knows the friends from Kirigakure and knows what this place used to be like."

"Compared to our Land of Rain, they are only slightly better."

"But look at them now."

Yahiko pointed out the window.

Outside the window, the bustling crowds and traffic flowed freely, smiles were on everyone's faces, and the sun shone brightly.

"They are all breaking down the old world and building a new one."

"So, I thought about it."

"Can we learn from their approach, or perhaps even help them change the world together?"

"This is what I want to discuss with you all."

"I want to establish a certain level of cooperation between the Akatsuki organization and Kirigakure."

"Those who agree, raise your right arm; those who disagree, raise your left arm."

After Yahiko finished speaking, he stood nervously to the side, simply watching the members of the Akatsuki organization.

Everyone raises their right arm!

The weight that had been hanging over my heart for so long finally lifted, replaced by a feeling of joy.

A joy of finally finding the right path after a long period of confusion.

Or perhaps it's just that.

The exhilarating feeling of a drowning person struggling to raise their head from the river, finally finding a lifeline, and grabbing it tightly.

The door opened.

Standing outside the door is Senior Tree.

A bucket of cold water was poured over Yahiko's head.

Senior Tree stepped forward in a time of crisis, not only using his own strength to save the Akatsuki organization from dire straits, but also saving countless people present with his own blood.

He absolutely has the right to interfere.

He also definitely has the ability to influence members of the Akatsuki.

Would such a senior, who has a blood feud with the Water Kingdom, possibly...

Senior Tree raised his right arm, his deep voice still visible even behind his mask.

"Everyone."

"I've had enough of this damn world!"
-
"Reservation successful. Lord Mizukage has agreed to meet with you."

"However, we will have to wait a while longer."

Nagato smiled and nodded, then pushed Yahiko aside.

Yes.

Although Yahiko's limbs had regenerated long ago.

However, recovery takes time, followed by adaptation, and it's not something that can be fully cured in a short period of time.

The reason why this disabled person, who is still in a wheelchair, is so eager to push his decision forward is...

The most important reason was that he realized just how tempting Nagato's Sage Eyes were to the entire world.

A white, unidentified object repeatedly disguised itself as someone close to them, making it difficult to detect.

There's also Konoha and Danzo.

If it were before, he would have shouted out his passion, his bonds, his dreams, and faced the danger head-on.

But after he had been lying on his sickbed for a long time and suffered greatly, he learned something.

The Akatsuki members who followed them also endured countless hardships.

We must never let this accident happen again.

then.

This idea naturally came to him.

"You can go in."

Yahiko raised his head, and Konan and Nagato pushed the wheelchair tightly as they entered the core of power in the Land of Water.

The Third Mizukage sat on the left, the famous Kaguya Naoki was in the middle, and on the far right was Kaguya Naoki's lover, Terumi Mei.

Yahiko stepped forward and explained his thoughts.

What opinions could Kaguya Naoki possibly have?
Naturally, I nodded in agreement and stamped my seal of support.

Yahiko breathed a sigh of relief.

Naoki Kaguya also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Nan smiled.

Nagato stepped forward.

"Lord Mizukage."

"Ok?"

Naoki Kaguya smiled.

"I want to know, do you want to pursue true peace?"

“Of course.” Naoki Kaguya also became serious.

Nagato, who understands this in the past Naruto timeline and will be the protagonist for the next ten years, has for the first time the possibility of being talked into by his own words.

Well known.

Nagato is most easily persuaded by talk-no-jutsu.

"So, how exactly do you intend to achieve peace?"

Nagato's face showed a look of longing for an answer.

"We can't expect future generations to solve this problem."

What are you thinking about?

"I have never believed in the wisdom of later generations."

Naoki Kaguya was resolute.

"The peace I want to achieve is very simple."

"Let us march westward from Kirigakure, conquer the ninja villages of the four countries, and establish a true nation capable of ruling the world!"

Nagato seemed to be persuaded and nodded slightly.

Just then, Yahiko spoke up to refute him.

"If that's the case, wouldn't the whole world be plunged into war again?"

"Where there is hatred, there will be new wars and new conflicts, and true peace will never be possible."

Naoki Kaguya patiently explained.

"So, will maintaining the status quo of the five great ninja villages, letting them wage war against each other and seize their spoils, bring about peace?"

"of course not."

After Yahiko finished speaking, he remained silent.

Naoki Kaguya continued.

"As long as Kirigakure rules the entire world, I will personally oversee it."

"Then, at least before I die, a great war that will engulf the entire world will not break out."

"This is enough."

"This is enough?"

Yahiko and Nagato both looked up, somewhat puzzled.

"If the string called war is always taut, people will not turn their attention to areas outside of war."

"Only when peace lasts long enough can the true seed of peace be nurtured."

Naoki Kaguya stood up and pointed out the window.

"As you all know, this is what our Hidden Mist Village was like in the past."

"In that situation, how can heroes emerge who yearn for peace, shape peace, and establish peace systems?"

“People who are bound and assimilated by war are incapable of creating entirely new policies and systems aimed at peacetime rule, just like people who have lived in peace since childhood.”

"That's it."

Nagato and Yahiko both suddenly realized.

"and."

Naoki Kaguya laughed.

"Am I not also trying to make the peaceful world of Kirigakure more colorful?"

"As more and more people see this kind of life, it will eventually inspire countries to truly aspire to build their nations into heroes like us."
