In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 187 The Beginning of the War
"Of course we can't break through!"

Black Zetsu quickly seized the opportunity. Knowing that Kaguya Naoki had an extreme thirst for power, he knew his chance had come.

"To break through to the power level of the Sage of Six Paths, it is not possible to rely solely on chakra cultivation and Sage Techniques."

"Appreciate further details."

Black Zetsu could hear the changes in Kaguya Naoki's emotions in his voice.

I'm smitten with this man who looks so powerful and imposing, as if he doesn't care about anything in the world!

That's true, who can resist the desire for power?

So, what needs to be done now is to let Kaguya Naoki know.

Only by realizing the Eye of the Moon Plan can he become the truly most powerful person.

Black Zetsu spoke again.

"The Sage of Six Paths once possessed the chakra of the entire world."

"Before his death, his chakra was divided into countless parts, giving birth to the ninja world we know today."

The moment Black Zetsu opened his mouth, he was telling a history that no one knew.

Even Obito Uchiha showed a rather surprised expression.

"Everything I'm saying is the truth. You can check it if you don't believe me."

"Go on."

Naoki Kaguya didn't seem to care about the truth of the matter; he simply continued narrating.

"That's not all. Those nine tailed beasts are not the naturally born power of legend; they all come from the Sage of Six Paths."

Black Zetsu's eyes gradually went mad, clearly realizing once again that he was the embodiment of Madara Uchiha's will.

"So, this is what Madara Uchiha has been pursuing relentlessly."

"In the future, he plans to use the Eye of the Moon Project to gather all the chakra of the world and the powerful tailed beasts into his own body."

"To create a powerful ninja comparable to the Sage of Six Paths."

"Impossible, that's not the truth. If that were the case, why would the Uchiha clan say that only the Eye of the Moon Plan can save the Uchiha and bring peace to the world?"

"And what you said about controlling the whole world with your eyes."

Obito Uchiha sensed that Naoki Kaguya was hinting for him to come out and say something in response, otherwise Black Zetsu might become suspicious.

He certainly realized it.

As a clever and resourceful member of the Uchiha clan, he immediately spoke up.

Sure enough.

Damn it, Obito Uchiha, I knew you'd try to ruin my plans.

A faint smile appeared on Black Zetsu's face.

He had previously thought that everything was going so smoothly that he couldn't believe it, but now he was certain.

Absolutely no problem.

"What I said is of course the truth."

"Only by possessing the power of the Sage of Six Paths can one amplify the Tsukuyomi eye technique onto the moon. Do you really think that you can do all this with just the power of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki?"

"Don't be naive, Obito."

"I see."

Naoki Kaguya seemed impatient with their dogfighting and interrupted.

He took two steps forward, looked at Black Zetsu, and his expression became extremely serious.

"So, as long as I complete the Eye of the Moon plan, I will be able to break through the power level of the Sage of Six Paths?"

"of course."

Black Zetsu looked absolutely certain.

"Then I want to know what your purpose is, and why you are doing this. I won't feel at ease if you don't tell me."

On the contrary, yes.

A violent killing intent emanated from Kaguya Naoki, and the sharp wind made Black Zetsu tremble.

"Kill you!"

This is Naoki Kaguya.

Sure enough, she was ruthless, vicious, and extremely suspicious.

Stop doubting.

Naoki Kaguya is a guy who craves power immensely and is also suspicious.

He absolutely has to believe it.

Then let's focus on following Kaguya Naoki.

Black Zetsu's eyes shone with boundless light.

There is another village in the dark.

but.

"I did it for freedom!"

The boundless light, set against this backdrop, made all of Black Zetsu's words even more powerful.

"Why should I become Madara Uchiha's shadow? I want to have my own life."

"Therefore, only someone with the power of the Sage of Six Paths can give me a new life."

Not only did his eyes shine, but his expression was also incredibly lifelike.

Having lived for a thousand years, Hei Jue has witnessed the joys and sorrows of countless people. Not only can he fabricate lies effortlessly, but his acting skills are also incredibly lifelike.

Naoki Kaguya was clearly moved.

He believed it.

Black Zetsu was overjoyed.

"In that case, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

"Happy cooperation!"

Black Zetsu was practically crying tears of joy.

Finally, the day of success arrived.

"However, before that, you must hand over these White Zetsu under your command to me to help me win the war."

Black Zetsu looked up in surprise.

This doesn't quite fit Kaguya Naoki's character.

Even before meeting him, Kaguya Naoki was a guy who devoted himself to Kirigakure.

But wasn't he just now going crazy for power?

but.

When Black Zetsu saw Kaguya Naoki's absolutely indifferent eyes, he understood everything.

understood!

This is just a little trick by this human being who is comparable to a god.

Before he knew that power could exist at an even higher level, Naoki Kaguya didn't have much motivation to pursue anything.

All he can pursue is breaking through the limits in other areas.

For example, breaking through history and unifying the ninja world.

For example, breaking the rules of ninjas and allowing them to do other jobs besides killing and arson.

It's just a trick by the gods.

"Of course, I absolutely agree."

Naoki Kaguya silently swallowed the lines he had prepared to use to persuade Black Zetsu.

Is it that easy?

I hadn't even made a move yet, and I had already taken care of Black Zetsu.

Yes.

Naoki Kaguya's plan was to take advantage of Obito Uchiha's betrayal and his absolute control over the terrain to bring Black Zetsu, the biggest mastermind in the history of the ninja world, into his own hands.

Naoki Kaguya, of course, didn't care about the destructive power that Black Zetsu might cause.

but.

It is still necessary to kill him.

This was also what Naoki Kaguya thought in the past.

However, if we kill him, many of our resources will not be able to be used more effectively.

For example, all these white Zetsu in front of us.

In his plan, these White Zetsu would also participate in the war.

Kabuto Yakushi was able to withstand 100,000 ninjas with just 100,000 Haku.

Why couldn't Kaguya Naoki use these White Zetsu to make up for the lack of ninja numbers?

It went smoothly, really smoothly.

At this moment, Obito Uchiha knew that it was time for him to take over.

"So, what you said about being able to create an illusionary world using the Eye of the Moon Project is still true, right?"

Blackie didn't want to answer.

He couldn't be bothered with Obito Uchiha.

Naoki Kaguya's eyes turned to Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu spoke.

"of course."

"Then I'll pledge my allegiance to you!"

Obito Uchiha looked at Naoki Kaguya with great seriousness.

"I want to rely on you, and then use your power to create a world with Lin."

You've already sided with him, you bastard! Why are you making so many excuses for yourself?
It's so disgusting.

Black Zetsu silently continued to trample Obito Uchiha underfoot, a hint of excitement still lingering in his heart.

Although Obito Uchiha was an absolute bastard, Black Zetsu was very clear about his fighting strength and knew that he was not to be underestimated.

If Kaguya Naoki and Obito Uchiha were to join forces, the entire world would be flattened very quickly. And me too!
Add to that the White Zetsu power system, and it's even more unthinkable!

"I agreed."

Naoki Kaguya nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Black Zetsu.

"Well then, do me a favor first."

"Gather information everywhere. If the ninjas of the Land of Lightning show any intention to make a move, notify me immediately."

"Also, remember to take the scroll of the Flying Thunder God Technique."
-
Hideki Hasegawa was already in despair.

The ninjas of the Land of Lightning gave him no chance whatsoever.

The blade in his hand had already been drawn.

They stared at the Land of Water flag beside Hideki Hase, and an unparalleled killing intent erupted within them.

It was as if they wanted to take revenge on all the resentment they had felt over the years from being repeatedly bullied by the Hidden Mist Ninja Alliance!

It’s over.

Completely finished!

They had no intention of negotiating at all.

and so.

It's time to stand up and not let down Naoki-sama for the years of life he has given me.

pity.

I just didn't protect you well.

Hideki Hasegawa scanned the anxious crowd in the caravan with a complicated expression before looking at his child, who, even at this moment, kept his eyes wide open and tried his best to remain calm.

Goodbye!

That's when.

One of the caravan members suddenly revealed a strange smile, a smile that sent a chill down Hideki Hasegawa's spine, a man who wasn't even afraid of death.

A strong sense of unfamiliarity!

He won't have to worry about that so much anymore soon.

Because the figure took out a sealing scroll from his bosom and gently placed it on the ground.

Just as the ninjas from the Land of Lightning realized something was wrong and were about to make their move,

A wisp of white smoke flashed by.

Psychic beast?
Several Cloud Village ninjas sensed something was wrong, but still fought back with all their might.

So what if it's a summoned beast!

Kill kill kill!

They are not mediocre, so they have no fear whatsoever.

The white smoke dissipated in an instant.

The blue and white divine robes came into everyone's view.

The Cloud Village ninja instinctively hurled all their blades at the ground.

Driven by inertia, in order to avoid rushing towards that figure, they all had to kneel down on the sand, carving out two deep furrows.

It's like kneeling down voluntarily.

The Cloud Village ninjas, who had been so arrogant just moments before, had now completely lost the will to continue fighting.

My heart trembled.

Even when they showed such an attitude in front of ordinary people they usually looked down upon, they showed no other emotions whatsoever.

Because the person in front of me is Naoki Kaguya!
Naoki Kaguya!

The absolute nightmare of all ninjas.

For the past few years, Kaguya Naoki has been a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the Hidden Cloud Ninja.

An invincible sword!
Everyone knows that this sword is invincible and possesses absolute power that can penetrate heaven and earth.

However, they had no choice but to resist!
For the past decades of their lives, for everything they have had, and for the life they yearn for in the future.

In order not to become slaves of the Hidden Mist Clan, they had no choice but to rebel.

but.

Can't beat it!

Therefore, during those countless days and nights over the past few years, Kaguya Naoki's face had become the fear they least wanted to recall.

"Can I assume that this means you want to start a war?"

Kaguya Naoki glanced at the blade in the Cloud Village ninja's hand and asked this question.

Go to war?
Thinking of the order recently issued by the Hidden Cloud Village to hunt down merchants from the Land of Water.

As border guards, they were naturally among the first batches of hunting merchants, and possibly even the first batch, so they knew this.

This is the signal to start war!

The Cloud Village ninja shook his head firmly.

No, absolutely not.

"We have no intention of starting a war."

"We just didn't see the flag of the Water Kingdom clearly for a moment."

"Is that so?"

Naoki Kaguya's tone carried a hint of regret.

"There was no provocation."

"Then I have now stepped into the land of your Land of Thunder as the supreme leader of another world."

"We didn't see it!"

The Cloud Village ninja closed his eyes.

His will to survive made him speak incoherently.

"let it go."

Naoki Kaguya smiled.

"I hereby formally declare that I am going to war against Kumogakure and Iwagakure."

His voice was faint, and his tone was somewhat casual.

It was not as if the announcement of the start of war was being made, nor as if a single word was determining the fate of hundreds of millions of people.

Instead, she was discussing with Mei Terumi which restaurant they should eat at that evening.

"We didn't hear it."

The Cloud Village ninja trembled like a leaf.

Still talking hard.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter whether you hear me or not."

"go to hell."

"Since you've drawn your sword, you must be prepared to die."

"Because, once the sword is drawn, all that remains is a world of survival of the fittest."

"I hope you will remember this in the new world of the future."

"Choose to draw your sword, or not."

bass.

The blade is unsheathed.

In the blink of an eye, several heads fell to the ground.

Blood surged and fluids flowed, soaking the yellow earth on the ground.

The war has begun.

"Mizukage-sama!"

Just as Kaguya Naoki killed those people and turned around...

Hideki Hase had already knelt down in excitement!

This face, which I had seen dozens of times from afar in the past, appeared so close to me for the first time!

He was so excited that he lost his voice.

There's no need to get so worked up.

Naoki Kaguya looked at Hideki Hase, who was crying uncontrollably.

While feeling deeply moved and somewhat proud, I couldn't help but try to dissuade him.

"Yes, I have remembered, Lord Mizukage's teachings!"

"I will certainly obey the Mizukage's orders!"

This isn't some big deal, is it?

Naoki Kaguya nodded helplessly.

"Then so be it, get up."

"Yes, Lord Mizukage, Hideki Hase will always obey your every summons!"

Naoki Kaguya
"It doesn't have to be this way."

"Hideki Hase understands. I will correct all of this in the future. Please rest assured, Mizukage!"

I really am.

Naoki Kaguya was completely helpless against this underling.

He turned his head away, trying not to let the guy see any expression he might unintentionally reveal.

I'll need to ponder this for a while when I get back.

"Go back quickly, the war is about to begin."

"I can transport supplies!"

Hideki Hasegawa was resolute.

"I will fight alongside Naoki-sama to the very last moment!"
