In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 16 Kakashi, You've Seen Konoha in the Dark (Please add to your favorites and read on)

Only when the figure, dressed in ripped clothes and still wearing a mask, came into their view did cheers that soared into the sky!
"Kaguya Naoki-sama!"

"Kaguya Naoki-sama!"

The Hidden Mist Ninja are bloodthirsty, ruthless, and cruel, but they also have an unparalleled reverence for the strong.

They shouted wildly as they watched Kaguya Naoki's figure.

So what if it's the Eye of an Immortal?
What about the Wood Release body?
Didn't this Kaguya family lord casually suppress a powerful individual who possessed both of these super bloodlines?

This gentleman is only fourteen years old, isn't he?

Someone muttered something, which reached the ears of the other ninjas, causing their shouts to pause.

Yes, such a formidable record made them forget one thing.

This adult is only fourteen years old!
Some of the more fanatical and bloodthirsty members of the Dark Guard shouted even more frantically.

Some astute members of the secret service have already considered the future.

Naoki Kaguya, this most dazzling genius, will surely become another shining benchmark on the battlefield.

Just like the Legendary Sannin of Konoha in the Second Shinobi World War. The White Fang of Konoha!
Or perhaps it was during these times that Minato Namikaze, the shining yellow star at the height of his power.

Before this, they were worried about Konoha having a strong person like Minato Namikaze.

But after Kaguya Naoki demonstrated his absolute power, they began to look forward to the day when the two would clash.

The weakened Konoha awaits its rule by Kirigakure.

Just as they were daydreaming, another Hidden Mist ninja spoke up uncertainly.

"If I remember correctly, Kaguya Naoki-sama, there are still vacancies in the squad, right?"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

It seems, it appears, that's really the case?

They lowered their heads, their fervor carrying an additional layer of meaning.

Although the Hidden Mist Ninjas have a rather low political acumen, they were still able to quickly estimate the political limits of a powerful figure like Kaguya Naoki at this moment.

Water Reflection!

The absolute ruler of Kirigakure, the Mizukage!

Even at the lowest political level, he would become a ninja who wields great power in Kirigakure.

With such a strong individual available in the squad, they had no choice but to entertain any other thoughts.

If I could join in.
Someone noticed this thought spreading and immediately frowned and reminded them.

"Don't forget, he belongs to the Kaguya family, and who are you?"

As soon as they finished speaking, the impulse vanished, and their eyes became complicated.

As commoner ninjas, they were destined to never join Kaguya's team.

Otherwise, this would be the most serious betrayal the civilian ninjas have ever suffered, and they would be destined to be treated harshly.

Even if we endure that discrimination and wait for this adult to become the Mizukage, what does it matter? The Mizukage of the Kaguya family is destined to make the chaos in the village worse.

A coup was bound to happen sooner or later.

What would be the point of following this lord then?

Following their habitual way of thinking, they fantasized about the future of Kaguya's family becoming the Mizukage.

But soon, without anyone reminding them, they immediately rejected all of this from the bottom of their hearts.

That's Naoki-sama!

How could the other members of the Kaguya clan compare to him!
After spending these days together, they realized that the person in question was not like the other members of the Kaguya clan.

On the contrary, he seemed to have more knowledge and ideas than these Hidden Mist ninjas.

If he becomes the Mizukage, perhaps the future won't be as bleak as expected, but rather bring some new changes to the village?

These Hidden Mist ninjas exchanged glances, silently suppressing their thoughts.

No one would believe me if I said that.

But if this person were to appear on the battlefield of the ninja world, he might actually be able to change some of the preconceived notions.

Kirigakure really needs to change.

Naoki Kaguya straightened up and scanned the fanatical Kirigakure ninjas. A strange feeling arose in his heart, and a sense of pride gradually grew within him.

But soon, this lofty ambition was completely dampened.

Is there any chance that such a frenzied scene will ever be repeated?
Previously, Kaguya Naoki relied on establishing merits in the Third Shinobi World War to gain prestige and supporters, and then seize the position of Mizukage.

But now, everything has changed.

His performance against Obito Uchiha was so impressive that it was a big question whether Madara Uchiha would allow him to appear on the battlefield.

Naoki Kaguya sighed. This was the downside of the Kaguya family bloodline; once a battle began, they would always involuntarily unleash their full power.

This was not originally part of his plan.

Because Obito Uchiha was a ninja who possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan and Wood Release.

In his original calculations, Naoki Kaguya felt that he would be lucky to escape unscathed.

Unexpectedly, Obito Uchiha is now far too weak.

Influenced by Kaguya's bloodline, the battle-addicted Naoki Kaguya went all out and nearly killed Obito Uchiha several times.

The die is cast, and we can only wait until we return to the Land of Water to find out the answer.

I hope I can at least get a squad leader position.

Originally, because of his identity as a member of the Kaguya clan, he was labeled as a brainless person, and he even had a dream of being arranged by Madara Uchiha to become the commander of Kirigakure.

Now, it's impossible to even think about it.

Naoki Kaguya gathered his scattered thoughts and looked at the people of Kirigakure with a complicated expression.

"Evacuate the Land of Fire!"

【Ding! 】

[Mission complete!] [Settlement in progress.]

[Successfully captured Nohara Rin!]

[Place the Three-Tails Jinchuriki into Rin Nohara's body]

【fail】

The Three-Tails Jinchuriki's attempt to unleash its power in Konoha failed.

[Capture Kakashi and Rin Nohara; they have great potential, and you will receive an extra reward.]

[Exchange chance *1]

[The Hidden Mist Ninja and the legendary ninja Zabuza have significantly changed your perception of you; additional rewards have been granted.]

[Exchange chance *1]

Uh?
There were also unexpected surprises.

Naoki Kaguya knew before embarking on the mission that the generous rewards were not for him, and he was destined to only complete the first phase of the mission.

Therefore, he didn't feel any negative emotions when he saw the rewards slip through his fingers twice.

But to Naoki Kaguya's surprise, there was an unexpected twist that allowed him to redeem rewards twice.

pity.

Naoki Kaguya felt his own body and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

After squandering his Corpse Bone Meridian for over a decade, his body finally showed signs of developing a bloodline disease.

However, he is not prepared to use up his exchange chances now to obtain a method to delay the bloodline disease.

Naoki Kaguya wanted to test the limits of his body.

This allows him to make the most of this opportunity to delay the outbreak of hematopoietic stem cell disease.

After all, during the upcoming Third Shinobi World War, the number of times the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) will be overdrawn will only increase.

If he doesn't accumulate enough redemption attempts, it will be a devastating disaster for him.

Naoki Kaguya took Kakashi from the back of a Hidden Mist ninja and turned to Zabuza, who remained silent.

"Let's go."

The Hidden Mist ninjas gathered their thoughts, nodded in unison, and dispersed into the forest.

On the way back, without the help of White Zetsu, the number of Konoha ninjas immediately increased.

Fortunately, Kaguya Naoki possessed the Byakugan of the main family, and aside from one instance where he happened to enter the Byakugan's field of vision and attracted attention, he was never in danger.

Once they reached the coastline, the Hidden Mist ninjas split up and dispersed again.

The one who stayed by Kaguya Naoki's side was none other than herself.

It was Zabuza, all alone, and Kakashi, fast asleep and obsessed.

He casually pulled out a bottle of emerald green potion and, under Zabuza's somewhat regretful gaze, poured it all into Kakashi's mouth.

Looking at his trembling eyelashes, Naoki Kaguya spoke leisurely.

"Kakashi Hatake, let's talk. I am Naoki Kaguya. You should be willing to say a few words to me."

Kakashi Hatake opened his eyes, looked at Naoki Kaguya, and his face was ashen.

Ignoring Zabuza's astonishment at Kakashi's cooperation.

Naoki Kaguya spoke first with a smile.

"Kakashi, your Konoha has monsters like the Mangekyou Sharingan and Wood Release, why didn't you release them beforehand?"

Kakashi Hatake fell silent, while Naoki Kaguya continued to bombard Kakashi's strong mental defenses like a machine gun.

"And he's actually your comrade?"

"Could you tell me his name? I'd like to share some information with you if you'd like."

Kakashi Hatake wanted to refuse Naoki Kaguya's offer from the bottom of his heart, but the information still tempted him.

If it were merely a name, it would be easily obtained by these Hidden Mist ninjas.

After hesitating for a long time, Kakashi Hatake finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "Obito Uchiha."

"So, the Sharingan you have comes from Obito Uchiha?"

Kakashi Hatake hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

After answering Kaguya Naoki's question for the first time, his seemingly unbreakable psychological defenses had already begun to weaken.

However, he was unaware of it yet.

"But wasn't Mr. Obito already dead on the battlefield in the Land of Earth?"

Why did he show up today again?

Kakashi Hatake's heart skipped a beat; he too wanted to know the answer.

"And to think that an Uchiha could possess Wood Release abilities?"

Kakashi Hatake clenched his fists, unwilling to think too deeply.

Having witnessed part of the village's darkness, Kakashi was somewhat afraid, and he was unwilling to expose it all.

But Kaguya Naoki would never give him such an opportunity to escape. He scoffed and uttered words that were piercing to the heart.

"When did the Senju and Uchiha clans become so harmonious that they could intermarry?"

"So, Konoha is already conducting Wood Release experiments?"

"They also have a successful sample. Kakashi's teammate, Mr. Uchiha Obito?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a mechanical voice sounded.

[Kakashi Hatake's character's fate has shifted; he has been identified as a non-Hidden Mist ninja, and his defection to the Hidden Mist Village is imminent (1/10)]

Happy Lantern Festival!
