Becoming a Ninja from Naruto

Chapter 74: Kakuzu: If you embezzle my money, I will never be able to raise my sword no matter how old I am!

It turns out.

Uchiha Madara's moral level is not high.

The plan to find a successor was soon implemented. Black Zetsu and White Zetsu worked together and found a descendant of the Uzumaki bloodline in the Rain Country. They transplanted Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan into the eyes of a child named Nagato.

of course.

Uchiha Madara was not the only one who took advantage of the Uzumaki clan.

Konoha also found a girl named Uzumaki Kushina during this time.

Because the life of the previous generation Nine-Tails Jinchūriki Uzumaki Mito is about to come to an end, Konoha needs to find a new Jinchūriki to seal the Nine-Tails in this Jinchūriki's body.

"Konoha wants my power, right?"

The body of the Nine-Tails was lying in the sealed space. It already knew Konoha's plan, which made its chakra extremely unstable: "Now that you have used that guy Emiya Shihara, you want to use me again, right?"

"I'm sorry... Kurama."

There was a look of shame on Uzumaki Mito's face.

Konoha did something wrong, whether it was towards Emiya Shihara or the Nine-Tails, and she felt guilty for breaking her promise to use the Nine-Tails.

"Konoha will not use your power..."

It was even difficult for Uzumaki Mito to say these words.

because…

It's really too false to say this.

Given Konoha's reputation, no one would believe it, let alone the Nine-Tails who had been around for a thousand years.

"Humph…"

“Don’t call my name!”

"What a hypocritical face, Mito..."

"You guys are even using Emiya Shihara..."

The Nine-Tails looked at the aged figure of Uzumaki Mito standing in the sealed space, and mocked his first Jinchūriki: "Do you think I will believe you?"

"I heard that your Uzumaki clan is about to be destroyed, right? This is the price you Uzumaki clan pay for believing in Konoha!"

"..."

Uzumaki Mito felt extremely guilty.

The Uzushio Village was on the verge of destruction.

The Uzumaki clan are all scattered and looking for new homes.

In order to utilize the power of the tailed beasts, the various ninja villages in the ninja world began to look for ways from the Uzumaki clan, who were best at sealing, and continued to invade the Land of Whirlpools openly and covertly, and Konoha was unable to actually help.

Just as the Second Tsuchikage had expected, becoming an ally of Konoha means you can only help Konoha, but you will not get positive feedback from Konoha when facing difficulties.

The most recent time.

Uzushio Village mentioned something.

Once, when traveling in the ninja world, Shihara Emiya came to the Land of Whirlpools. He believed that the Uzumaki clan, due to their powerful strength, should take on more responsibilities. They should move to the Land of Grass and exchange land with the weak ninja villages.

In this case…

The Uzumaki clan can also continue to live side by side with its traditional ally Konoha.

that time…

The Uzumaki clan did not want to leave their hometown and chose to refuse.

The Uzumaki clan believed that staying in the Land of Grass would definitely lead to conflicts with their ally Konoha. They chose to migrate away from the Ninja Continent in order to avoid any conflicts with their extremely powerful distant relatives, the Senju clan, in the Ninja Continent.

just now.

Uzushio Village was inevitably doomed to destruction.

The only good thing...

When Uzushio Village was destroyed and the Uzumaki clan became refugees, someone finally stepped forward to help them. A ninja named Kakuzu discovered the wandering refugees of the Uzumaki clan and thought that these people in distress could be helped.

"When Lord Emiya was traveling around the ninja world, I ran into him a few times by chance. I remember he mentioned to me that the people of your Uzumaki clan are always sincere and are the kind of friends you can trust your life with. Perhaps you can become people who share the same ideals as me. Now, can you help me manage the orphanages I support?"

In the past...

Kakuzu has never been able to socialize with the Uzushio Village.

Because he was a traitor ninja from Takigakure Village, he thought that the arrogant Uzushio Village was unlikely to pay attention to him, and he ignored what Emiya Shihara said.

Now that the Uzumaki clan has lost their homeland, these wandering refugees have been homeless, so Kakuzu tries to contact and help them.

However, Kakuzu quickly realized what Emiya Shihara was hiding, because the people of the Uzumaki clan were so incredibly stupid that these red-haired guys would just do whatever they were asked to do.

fortunately.

This is the person that Kaku needs.

Because it's hard for Kakuzu to live alone.

Over the years, Kakuzu has been trying hard to help people in need as Emiya Shihara said, but as a ninja, he is only good at killing people and making money, and never has time to pay attention to anything else, which leads to some corrupt officials emerging from the orphanage he sponsors from time to time.

His money!
The money he earned from killing people!

It's even being embezzled!

what!
Is it easy for him to make money?

As a killing god who killed all the high-ranking officials of Takigakure Village, Kakuzu had no psychological concerns about killing people, and even thought that his moral standards were always low.

Kakuzu usually kills the orphanage director on the spot, and then starts preparing to recruit the next orphanage director who continues to be greedy for money.

Things are going to get more and more outrageous.

This ninja world seems to be going a bit too far.

Although Kakuzu always considered himself a villain, he doubted whether there was still a good person in the ninja world...

What on earth is wrong with these orphanage directors? Although I have never had the time to care about them, how dare they embezzle the money of an S-rank rebel ninja!
Isn’t this bullying an honest person?

only…

There was another point that Kakuzu could not understand.

This is because he obtained the Earth's Resentment, and his life span is very long.

However, the orphanage directors did not know this. They just calculated that Kakuzu was already very old based on the fact that he was wanted. They thought that they would not receive much money in the future, so they took whatever money they could get...

result…

The immortal Kakuzu has been dealing with corrupt officials.

fortunately.

Not all people in the ninja world are like this.

According to Kakuzu's idea, the person approved by Lord Emiya should be okay.

Because Lord Emiya mentioned that chakra can affect people.

At least Kakuzu discovered that these people from the Uzumaki clan were really taking care of the orphans honestly, which made him feel a lot better. It seemed that what Lord Emiya said was right.

As for the Uzumaki refugees...

These members of the Uzumaki clan accepted Kakuzu's help helplessly and were able to barely find a place to stay, which allowed them to gradually forget the pain of the destruction of their hometown. They also tried to get in touch with other members of the clan who were scattered in various places.

"Some of our people were once stranded in the Rain Country. Fusang from our clan married into the Rain Country. We hope to tell her our news..."

"Then I just happen to be going to the Rain Country."

"The civilians in the Land of Rain have a very hard time. It has been used as a battlefield by the three major ninja villages. Last time I heard, some people couldn't even buy food..."

As Kakuzu talked about his schedule, he placed a stack of money on the table and said in a deep voice, "This is the funding for the orphanage. I hope you can really entrust everything to me as Lord Emiya said."

"Yes…"

“Where is this money…”

"Kill people and exchange them for gold to buy the bodies of ninjas."

Kakuzu is an honest man, and he does not shy away from talking about his own affairs: "I just killed a Jonin from the Hidden Rock Village, and his body is worth one million taels..."

In addition to rescuing people in need, Kakuzu also went to the Rain Country to look for new high-priced corpses. Compared to killing people for money, other mission commissions were too troublesome.

"I will help you find out about the woman named Fuso."

Kakuzu looked at the Uzumaki refugees and continued in a deep voice, "If you meet other Uzumaki refugees, you can also ask them to come over. In addition to the orphanages I funded and established myself, I also killed the directors of some orphanages I donated to who embezzled my money. I don't know if those places have found new directors..."

"what?"

The red-haired women present all widened their eyes in horror.

Fate seemed to be fair. Perhaps out of pity for the destruction of this clan, the fate of the ninja world quietly began to be tied to these two descendants of the Uzumaki clan.

One of the girls from the Uzumaki clan is slowly learning to become a Jinchūriki in Konoha, while another Uzumaki orphan who was left behind has obtained the Rinnegan.

The situation in the small countries in the ninja world is somewhat dangerous.

The fighting between the big powers made it increasingly difficult for the small countries near them to survive, especially in the Rain Country where Kakuzu came, the situation became increasingly worse.

The Iwagakure Village, Konoha, and Sand Village used the Rain Country as their battlefield, and carried out various raids, assassinations, and espionage missions here with impunity, and even often attacked ordinary people.

No one thought of it.

The Second Ninja World War broke out in the Rain Country.

This Ninja World War was even more brutal than the previous one.

Since the First Ninja World War was quelled by Emiya Shihara, other ninja villages had more manpower to participate in the war, but this time there was no one to quell the war.

of course.

The most unexpected thing is...

The person who started this Ninja World War was actually the leader of the Rain Country, Hanzo of the Salamander. His strength in the Ninja World was very strong and he had won the respect of countless people. He was considered the pinnacle of ninjas and his status as a medical ninja was comparable to that of Shihara Emiya.

The leader of the ninja village of this small country publicly demanded that the three large ninja villages stop their activities in the Rain Country, otherwise the Rain Country would declare war on them.

This requirement...

Naturally, you get what you ask for.

This guy really thinks he is Emiya Shihara!

Whether it was Konoha, Iwagakure Village, or Sand Village, they all responded immediately, and some even directly regarded the Rain Village as the front battlefield of this war.

of course.

No one expected this.

The Second Ninja World War ushered in Konoha's Golden Age.

The entire Konoha's performance in the Second Ninja World War was brilliant. Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade actually led the Konoha ninjas to stop the Salamander Hanzo!
Rain drops from the sky.

Even the rainwater is contaminated with the deadly poison of salamander.

There was a diamond-shaped mark flashing on Tsunade's forehead, and black curse energy and purple chakra gathered on her forehead. Her fists were particularly strong and powerful on the battlefield, and her self-healing ability was also quite strong in curse mode, making her able to stop Hanzo in this head-on battle!

"This is…"

Salamander Hanzo looked somewhat familiar.

"Did Lord Emiya leave you this power?"

When he was young, Hanzo of the Salamander had seen Shimura Danzo use similar powers. He had also seen the summoned beast slug beside Tsunade: "No wonder Konoha was besieged by many people during the First Ninja World War. It seems that you have gained too much from Lord Emiya..."

"yes…"

"And your antidote to the poison."

Tsunade's face was full of fearlessness. She held two antidote potions between her fingers and threw them to Orochimaru and Jiraiya behind her: "I looked through the case scrolls he left behind and found some records that he had treated people who were accidentally injured by your poison gas..."

"Does he also know Lord Weiyuan?"

The slug asked with some curiosity.

"There should be no one who doesn't know him, right?"

Orochimaru's summoning beast, Manda, swallowed and spit out its snake core, and muttered, "The old ladies in our area used to talk about that man!"

Ten thousand snakes come from Longdi Cave.

The old woman it was referring to naturally refers to the White Snake Immortal.

The only one who didn't understand the reason was Gamabunta, the summoning beast of Myoboku Mountain. He had only heard about it occasionally but was not very interested in Emiya Shihara's story.

"Is that white snake still thinking about Master Wei Yuan?"

The slug's voice was still cute and adorable, yet full of murderous intent: "We should have killed it when we first met it!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't get mad at me!"

The snake wanted to retreat in panic because it knew that it was no match for the slug and its power was just restrained by the slug.

"Be quiet!"

Gamabunta hurriedly hoped that the two guys who were fighting together would calm down, and said in a deep voice: "It looks like we should be considered victorious now, right?"

"At least it's a victory."

Jiraiya nodded. With the help of Orochimaru, he was able to drink the potion. He said, "As long as the three of us can hold back Hanzo, there will be no problem on the other side of the battlefield..."

“It certainly looks like that now.”

Orochimaru's gaze fell on Tsunade. He saw the changes in Tsunade after she activated the curse seal mode, which made his eyes a little hot, because he also had been longing to gain powerful strength.

For strength...

It also made him want to cross the taboo.

For example, some forbidden techniques sealed within Konoha.

The existence of these forbidden techniques may be a secret to others, but it is not a secret to Orochimaru, the disciple of the Third Hokage.

of course.

It is very difficult to learn these forbidden techniques.

These forbidden techniques are often found in Konoha's highest secret sealed books. Each forbidden technique requires a long time to study the theories contained therein.

That's it.

After returning from this war, he should find a way to gain more powerful strength, because his teammate Tsunade's strength is growing too fast.

"It seems that it is hopeless for the Rain Country to win this war..."

Salamander Hanzo sighed. He had realized that he had no way of dealing with the three young men in front of him, especially since Tsunade's curse-seal recovery ability and medical ninja ability allowed her to fearlessly block all his attacks head-on.

"Konoha's new generation of ninja..."

“You guys have really grown up…”

"From today on, you will shine brightly in the ninja world. Before the war is over, I will give you a title: Konoha's Three Ninjas..."

"Have you finally decided to give up the war?"

Tsunade looked at Hanzo of the Salamander and seemed to be about to give up, and she felt relieved in her heart, because this battle was also a huge burden for her.

Because of the curse seal left to her by Emiya Shihara, she had to constantly practice chakra control in order to be able to enter the curse seal mode, and she also developed the Yin Seal that can be used together with the curse seal according to the medical ninja method.

If she had not practiced hard enough during this period and was able to use the power of the Curse Seal and the Yin Seal at the same time, she would not have been able to stop Salamander Hanzo on the battlefield. These powers did greatly enhance her strength, but the power that burst out in a short period of time would make her exhausted afterwards.

"The ninja of Konoha."

"It wasn't me who decided to give up the war."

"But I didn't want to start this war in the first place."

Salamander Hanzo stared at Tsunade below, and calmly explained his plan: "I just want to use my power to try to end the increasing conflicts between your big ninja villages, just like Lord Emiya did during the First Ninja World War, so as to prevent the civilians of the Rain Country from being affected by your conflicts..."

"..."

Tsunade already knew these things.

In order to avoid the fact that the Second Hokage used Emiya Shihara, and also to avoid the disgraceful behavior of Konoha during that period, Konoha rarely mentions what happened during the First Ninja World War, but other villages never avoid it and even use it to mock Konoha.

As time goes by.

The past events gradually calmed down.

However, the Second Ninja World War seemed to have brought new disturbances.

For example, people like Hanzo of the Salamander began to mention Shihara Emiya frequently, and even hoped to calm the war like Shihara Emiya, but he failed in the end.

"pity…"

Salamander Hanzo thought of the man he had met in the past, and couldn't help but sigh: "I have neither Lord Emiya's power nor his prestige..."

"Right…"

"People like me..."

"How can I compare with him..."

Salamander Hanzo shook his head regretfully, and rode his Salamander summoning beast to withdraw from the battlefield: "If Lord Emiya were still alive, this world would definitely not become the terrible state it is now."

"Luckily he's not here."

Tsunade let out a long sigh and couldn't help but sigh: "Otherwise, the current state of our world will make him hate this era even more..."
