In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 165 With the death of Hiruzen Sarutobi, the world will eventually be unified.

"Black Zetsu, do you think this is enough?"

In the Hokage's office, a vortex appeared, and a man wearing a vortex mask sat down in the Hokage's seat and asked the question.

"Of course it's enough."

Black Zetsu looked at the two corpses in front of him, which were gradually falling silent, and sighed.

"I never imagined that Konoha would be the first village to meet its end."

"Who gave me such a great opportunity?"

Obito Uchiha leaned back against the Hokage's chair, reminiscing.

"Otherwise, even if it were a fake world, I wouldn't have thought of pushing this village to its doom from the very beginning."

"It's just a pity that Kirigakure is destined to become the second target I will wipe out."

"Oh?"

Although Black Zetsu already knew about Obito's plan, he knew the Uchiha's nature well, so he still gave him a chance to participate, allowing the now smug guy to continue with his important business.

"Humph."

Obito smiled smugly.

"Black Zetsu, do you think the other ninja villages would still be able to sit still if they knew that Kirigakure possessed the power to control tailed beasts?"

"Even if Iwagakure and Kumogakure don't attack Kirigakure immediately, they will definitely not give up their plan to attack Sunagakure."

"By liberating Sunagakure and forming an alliance of three villages, Kirigakure will inevitably become weaker and weaker under such a state of war."

"Wait until the very end."

Obito Uchiha smiled, revealing a cruel expression.

"I'm going to make all of Kaguya Naoki's efforts go to waste in the East Sea."

"Then."

"Kill him too!"

"A perfect plan."

Black Zetsu clapped his hands.

"Then, what we need to do now is to ensure that the other two villages can completely conquer Konoha."

"that's right."

Obito stood up, looked towards the village of Muyou, and slowly frowned.

"Why hasn't the Nine-Tails arrived yet? Is there anyone in Konoha who can stop the Nine-Tails?"

Obito was a difficult boss to please, and White Zetsu, with his extraordinary skills, naturally wouldn't give his boss a chance to reprimand him.

The words had barely left his lips when a pure white creature emerged from the wall.

"Someone has blocked the Nine-Tails."

Obito's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Who?"

"Ku Yukina."

"What makes that good-for-nothing think he's so special? How is that possible?"

"She used her last bit of chakra to seal off the Nine-Tails' movements, and the Konoha ninja seized the opportunity to try and seal the Nine-Tails."

"Wait, what? They succeeded?"

Obito Uchiha was somewhat anxious.

He never expected that Kushina would be so lively and energetic after giving birth and having her jinchūriki extracted.

As expected of the Uzumaki clan, their formidable vitality left Obito Uchiha in awe, and even made him grit his teeth in envy.

"It was unsuccessful."

Bai Jue slightly raised his chin, wanting to show off his achievements.

"Despite our best efforts, the Konoha ninjas did not succeed, and the Nine-Tails continued its advance."

"only."

"But what?"

Obito Uchiha turned sinister, his killing intent palpable, completely disregarding the fact that White Zetsu had been a hero not long ago.

"However, Hiruzen Sarutobi seems to be making his final arrangements now, and I feel that he should have some kind of method similar to Danzo's."

"Why didn't you say so sooner?!"

Obito Uchiha rose from his Hokage seat.

Bai Jue retreated to the side, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

Black Zetsu was somewhat exasperated by Obito's intelligence, but since he had already gotten down to business, there was no need to discourage him. "Let's go."

Obito Uchiha nodded and turned to leave.

Looking at the door to the Hokage's office, I thought of the past again.

past self.

Unbeknownst to him, the coldness and sternness gradually faded, and a trace of longing appeared in his eyes.

but.

After the memory of that girl inevitably surfaced.

That lingering affection vanished almost instantly, and the beautiful and warm dream world was once again left with only cold, bloody rain.

He opened his eyes, looked at the gloomy village again, and gave a self-deprecating smile.

Then, he took a deep look at the chair.

Ah!
Is this the seat that fool wanted to sit in?
Not only was it nothing special, it also had a stench!

Anyone who wants to become Hokage is a fool.

Obito Uchiha put on the swirling mask once again and turned to run towards the battlefield.

He never looked at that chair again.

In this false world, nothing else matters anymore.

My former dreams, my former teachers, my former teachers' wives, my former companions.

What he needs to do is to destroy this false world as soon as possible and then create a world that belongs to Lin.
-
"I can't wait any longer, I really can't wait any longer."

The Nine-Tails was getting closer and closer to the village, and Hiruzen Sarutobi realized that he had no effective means to kill it!

Are ninjutsu really so powerless against the Nine-Tails?
There's no way to kill the Nine-Tails except by doing everything in our power to stop it.

How could there be such a powerful tailed beast?

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt somewhat weary.

While it would be difficult to kill a regular tailed beast, it wouldn't be too difficult for the sealing team to restrain, bind, and seal it.

But the Nine-Tails is too powerful.

That's incredibly powerful.

There is absolutely no way to stop it except through extraordinary measures.

That's the only technique left.

The Demonic Seal.

Since I can't find a suitable container to hold the Nine-Tails' chakra, I'll do everything in my power to take most of it with me to the underworld.

The remaining ones were sealed away by the sealing team.

We'll find Naruto Uzumaki, or a new surviving member of the Uzumaki clan, or perhaps the Senju clan.

What am I thinking?

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled self-deprecatingly.

They're all going to die anyway, so let's leave the future to our old friends, Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Tsunade!

A resolute glint appeared in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

So be it.

巳-亥.
Put your hands together!

Chakra flowed, and an eerie aura rippled around Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Subsequently.

A transparent figure emerged from Hiruzen Sarutobi's waist. Only a pair of jet-black, semi-transparent hands floated in mid-air before slowly reaching towards the Nine-Tails.

Although the Nine-Tails has lost its reason, it is by no means a mindless beast.

At this moment, he also vaguely sensed danger.

The danger of complete death.

And so, as the Konoha ninjas stared in astonishment, the Nine-Tails began to slowly retreat.

"Lord Hokage!"

Although the Konoha ninjas didn't know what technique the Third Hokage had used, the fact that he was able to force the Nine-Tails back meant that there was new hope.

Hearing the shouts, Hiruzen Sarutobi also revealed a smile.

Where leaves dance in the air, fire burns eternally. The flames will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout.

As long as I sacrifice.

"and many more."

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly noticed a slight movement beside him.

this is.

That mysterious masked man!!

Although he didn't know the specifics inside the tent, Hiruzen Sarutobi reasonably guessed that the person in front of him controlled the Nine-Tails. Almost instantly, Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to change his jutsu, intending to drag Obito Uchiha down into the Netherworld!

"You bastard who dared to attack Konoha, come with me."

Before the Grim Reaper's hand could even touch Obito's newly appeared figure, the vortex had already vanished before his eyes.

A step slower.

Large beads of sweat appeared on Hiruzen Sarutobi's forehead.

Death is about to take his soul away.

Absolutely not!

Hiruzen Sarutobi struggled forward, trying to drag the Nine-Tails' chakra down with him.

A kunai suddenly appeared from the vortex not far away and shot towards him.

Some Konoha ninjas tried to stop them.

It was that traitor who suddenly appeared again, once again blocking the path of the Konoha ninja.

The kunai pierced Hiruzen Sarutobi's shoulder.

Fresh blood gushed out.

No. We must continue.

Hiruzen Sarutobi desperately tried to move forward, grabbing a portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra and attempting to drag it away.

Another kunai suddenly appeared, as if it were teasing him.

This time, it pierced his heart.

Hiruzen Sarutobi could no longer control the Shinigami and could only let the Shinigami drag his soul down.

I can't.

Hiruzen Sarutobi collapsed to the ground, utterly powerless.

Nine-Tails, no longer afraid!
In an instant, the defenses were breached.

Then, from a high vantage point, he looked down at the fallen leaves.

A destructive Tailed Beast Ball surged forth.

Seeing this, the Konoha ninjas desperately tried to gather around the Nine-Tails and stop him!
but.

That's the Nine-Tails!
Even if the Ino-Shika-Cho trio worked together, they couldn't withstand Kurama for even a short time.

Even though the Uchiha clan did their best, without the Mangekyou Sharingan, they were no different from anyone else in front of Kurama.

even.

Those eyes made the already frenzied Nine-Tails even more agitated, causing even greater damage.

Hinata was still nowhere to be seen.

Neither of the two Hokage assistants made an appearance.

Jiraiya is still carrying the tailed beasts of Takigakure all by himself.

Seriously, no one can stop the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball!
"Lu Jiu, think of something quickly."

What can I do?

"Who can withstand the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball? Nobody can!"

"Lord Fugaku."

"I don't know, let's run away as soon as possible. Let's run away."

"Itachi, run! My eyes seem to be..."

"what?"

"No, we still have to go!"

Fugaku pulled Itachi away hastily, and Itachi took one last deep look at the Tailed Beast Ball, clenching his teeth.

Brother Zhishui, where are you?

"So this is the fireworks that Lord Hizashi was talking about? It really is."

The members of the Hyuga branch family all looked up at the increasingly concentrated ball of light in the sky, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Lord Hizashi, let's go quickly! We can't die with Konoha!"

Some members of the Hyuga branch family have already adapted to their new identities and are eager to express their opinions.

"No hurries."

Hinata Hizashi smiled.

"This is just part of the fireworks."

"Tailed beast jade?"

"The Sharingan?"

Kakashi, wandering through the village searching for Obito, touched his eye socket.

Obito, why do you hate Konoha so much that you would set up such a scheme and do everything in your power to destroy the village?

Kakashi stopped thinking about it; however, he knew his friend all too well.

You'll definitely find the best spot to sit back and watch Konoha be completely destroyed!

Kakashi's eyes turned towards the Hokage Rock!

On the Hokage Rock, Obito Uchiha looked at the Tailed Beast Ball not far away with a cruel gaze.

Unfortunately, there's no one to share this joy with me.

Konoha is about to be reduced to ruins.

All ninja villages must realize that this is an unprecedented opportunity.

If we can seize this opportunity, unifying the ninja world will definitely not be a dream.

The best time for me to intervene is once those guys start a war.
-
Hiruzen Sarutobi died a truly hasty death.

Naoki Kaguya watched as Hiruzen Sarutobi exerted all his strength, attempting to activate the Reaper Death Seal to drag the Nine-Tails down into the underworld.

He almost intervened to stop it.

Because what he wants is the complete Nine-Tails.

To his surprise, Obito Uchiha made good use of the moment when his personal strength was rapidly reduced when he used the Reaper Death Seal, rendering Hiruzen Sarutobi's efforts futile.

just.

Danzo even took one of the tailed beasts with him.

Naoki Kaguya shook his head.

It's time for me to shine.

After tonight, half the world will belong to me.

And it is foreseeable that the whole world will eventually fall into our hands.

think about it.

Nagato has become his loyal follower.

Obito will eventually abandon his extreme ideas and choose to join her because of Rin's existence.

And Konoha
Naoki Kaguya had been thinking about this question for a long time.

Originally, he was determined to save her.

After all, at that time, only the issue of Obito Uchiha was considered. Therefore, as an explanation for exchanging Hyuga, it was not a big deal to save Konoha.

However, things have completely changed now. With the intervention of Kumogakure and Iwagakure, Konoha may truly be destroyed.

As the absolute center of the past world, Konoha has considerable combat and economic value.

If he stands by and watches Konoha be destroyed...
All the Konoha ninja who survived this war will become mortal enemies of Iwagakure and Kumogakure. Hatred will drive them to fight Iwagakure and Kumogakure to the very end, never to reconcile.

Therefore, if Kirigakure were to raise a clear banner of opposition against Kumogakure and Iwagakure at this time, it would be easy to gain the favor of Konoha, and even allow some Konoha ninjas to become part of Kirigakure directly.

However, it is obvious that there are also disadvantages.

Putting aside Minato Namikaze's feelings, Kushina's life, and Shisui Uchiha's thoughts.

The Land of Fire, the dumping ground that the Hidden Mist Village relied on most in the past, will also collapse. In the future, not only will they not be able to live such a luxurious life, but they may also have to postpone their reforms.

It's okay to take it slow, it's just...

What if we save Konoha?
He can easily extend his tentacles deep into Konoha.

Kushina, the Uchiha clan, and all the other major ninja clans are not just a dream.

Moreover, there is another, even more tempting fruit.

After all, most of the die-hards in Konoha Village had died out, leaving only a few ninjas who, while still possessing strength, had little ambition.

As long as I demonstrate considerable goodwill, fighting spirit, and a future I can entrust to you tonight.

These guys, who have no ambition and just want Konoha to continue, will definitely cooperate with me to some extent.

Under the influence of cooperation, Konoha will gradually turn into the color of Kirigakure.

Which of the Five Great Ninja Villages are still standing?

Naoki Kaguya thought for a moment.

Sunagakure.

Over there with Sunagakure.

After Chiyo regained power, she completely sided with him.

In the entire world, the only remaining threats to him are Kumogakure and Iwagakure.

So the question is, can these two ninja villages really withstand this overwhelming force?

Naoki Kaguya smiled.
