Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 395 Raping this world!

"..."

Kazuma stiffly raised his head, looking at Naruto whose face was almost touching his, and at the cold, scarlet vertical pupils beneath the mask. Blood spilled from his mouth as he asked, "Why?"

He doesn't understand.

Even though we share the same ideals, why...?

“Because my choice is different from yours,” Naruto said calmly. “The ‘jewel’ that should have been kept was not that of that incompetent and foolish daimyo.”

"Ha! Hehe..."

Upon hearing this, Kazuma let out a series of low, slurred laughs, a twisted smile spreading across his face: "So that's how it is. So you're just another fool who can't see the bigger picture!"

"Since that's the case, then you can... join me..."

scoff!

Before Kazuma could finish speaking, Naruto abruptly pulled his hand out of Kazuma's abdomen, drawing out a spray of hot blood.

Without the slightest pause, the hand covered in sharp bones, with fingers like knives, drew an arc in the air and slashed Kazuma's head off his neck!
Although this was Naruto's first real killing, he didn't have the habit of waiting for his enemies to finish their last words.

Pfft!
Kazuma's body fell to the ground.

However, the headless body began to swell violently, and dark red cracks appeared on the surface of its skin.

An out-of-control Nine-Tails chakra, becoming incredibly violent and unstable, was gushing wildly out of the corpse...

boom! !

An explosion powerful enough to engulf everything erupted from the body of Kazuma, and the terrifying shockwave instantly swept through the entire underground space!

The sturdy walls crumbled like paper, and the sophisticated instruments around them turned to dust!
Naruto's figure was engulfed by the nearby explosion, and smoke and flames shot into the sky and appeared on the ground.

The next moment, a figure suddenly burst out from the smoke and dust.

There, highly compressed invisible air currents gathered beneath Naruto's feet, suspending him in the air.

Wind Release: Flying Technique is a ninjutsu he developed based on his massive chakra reserves and chakra control, which allows him to fly in the air for a short period of time.

"..."

Naruto grabbed Kazuma's head by the white hair and held it in his hand, looking down at the laboratory below, which had been reduced to ruins.

With Kazuma's death and the final explosion, the sealed Hollows and Void also perished, and the Nine-Tails' chakra and spiritual energy, now unrestrained, began to dissipate into the surroundings.

It was like a deadly source of pollution, rapidly seeping into the land below, and a suffocating, pungent stench of decay began to permeate the air...

"Surround them! Quickly!"

A series of rapid and orderly footsteps came from all four directions of the ruins at the same time!
Then, the "Lightning Release Four"—Kitako, Minami, Seido, and Higashima—each led a team of elite samurai and ninjas directly under the command of the daimyo.

They quickly occupied four positions, completely surrounding the area. They had clearly been alerted by the explosion and rushed over immediately.

However, when they saw the scene of utter devastation, everyone's expression turned extremely grave.

Immediately afterwards, their gaze fell upon the figure hovering above the ruins!

It was a being completely unfamiliar to them, but the head it held in its hand was all too familiar to them.

"Who are you?" Kitako, the leader of the 'Lightning Release Four,' asked coldly. "You killed Kazuma?"

The others also assumed their fighting stances.

Even Yugao Uzuki, who was previously sent by Hiruzen Sarutobi to replace Asuma Sarutobi as one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja, did not recognize Naruto, who had changed his appearance.

In their eyes, the strange-looking, violent-looking guy in front of them was undoubtedly the culprit who had caused all of this.

However, at this moment...

puff!puff!
With a series of dull thuds as the earth broke through, one after another, ferocious claws covered with pale bones burst forth from the soil.

Hundreds and thousands of "corpses" with twisted bodies and various shapes began to struggle to crawl out of the mud and ruins.

They have long, slender limbs covered with bones, and their withered faces are covered with a hideous half-bone surface.

This is a half-finished forbidden technique that Kazuma painstakingly completed by fusing the power of "Hollow" and the Nine-Tails!

—Earth Release: Creation Technique: Void Soul Corpse Soil!
Even if the caster dies, the pre-set technique will activate on its own under sufficient concentration of Nine-Tails chakra and Hollow's spiritual energy contamination!
Although these "artificial voids" forcibly created by techniques are far less powerful than naturally born "voids".

However, that terrifying number of hundreds or thousands is enough to make up for the difference in individual strength!

and……

"Roar!!"

Those artificial phantoms that crawled out of the soil raised their heads and roared with resentment and anger after emerging from the ground.

Countless empty, scarlet eyes locked onto Naruto, who was suspended in mid-air, as well as the samurai and ninjas around him.

The next moment, clusters of dark red energy of varying sizes began to condense in their open mouths!

False flash!

Even the weakest Cero is still a Cero!

Hundreds or even thousands of beams converged and launched simultaneously, their power enough to completely erase this area from the map!
"Not good!" The hundreds and thousands of holographic flashes of light illuminated the faces of the "Lightning Release Four" in a blood-red glow. "Eliminate those monstrous things!" Kitako shouted decisively, and the four of them simultaneously formed hand seals.

hum!
A dazzling blue lightning suddenly erupted from the four people, and four thick bolts of lightning shot into the sky from the four directions of east, west, south and north, converging directly above the ruins!

—Lightning Release: Lightning Dream, Lightning Man!
This is a Lightning Release ninjutsu that requires four Jonin who are proficient in Lightning Release chakra nature and form transformations and have excellent teamwork to perform together.

Its power was enough to instantly vaporize everything within its range, and Naruto, who was suspended in the air, was also enveloped in this indiscriminate lightning strike range.

Below, thousands of Cero flashes are poised to strike, while above, Raimon is about to descend.

"Kid." Kurama's voice, tinged with a hint of mockery yet also excitement, echoed in Naruto's mind. "What are you planning to do now?"

Naruto didn't speak, he just stared at what was in front of him.

He had read many books and knew what that distant world was like.

Let alone a native ninja, even a simple, kind-hearted human would feel the urge to change the ninja world after witnessing its distortion.

But Naruto knew even better that compared to that world, the ninja world was far too backward in terms of its system.

Even in that world, it would only be at the level of the Warring States period. The daimyo were feudal lords, and the ninja villages were mercenary groups. They didn't even achieve basic centralization.

Therefore, Naruto knew very well that he alone could not possibly bring the ninja world to the level of another world in just a few years, which was why he felt confused before.

His teacher told him that it wasn't important that he couldn't do it; what mattered was that he was reckless.

Naruto realized the meaning of "reckless".

He doesn't need to think about how to reach that world's level; he just needs to let the ninja world take its first step.

Even taking just one step is a huge step forward for this stagnant world.

Naruto's first step was to enable more people to possess chakra and ninjutsu, and to push the ninja world's national system from feudalism to centralized power.

In this way, ninjas and the state can be truly bound together, achieving the unification of political and military power.

The mission-based system will be abolished, and ninjas will become a true national army, earning stable income through military pay and rank.

In this way, ninjas can transform from "mercenaries" who only know how to kill into other identities, without having to kill for money, and ninja villages will not have to start wars for financial reasons.

Economically, the state can plan the budget in a unified manner and invest the funds directly in military construction, scientific and technological research and development, and projects that benefit the people, instead of letting them be squandered by the noble class.

In terms of science and technology, research on topics such as chakra conduction metals, the development of scientific ninja tools, and medical ninjutsu can be coordinated at the national level, breaking down barriers between countries and villages and accelerating technological progress.

It is possible to build chakra infrastructure covering the entire country, such as using earth release to build roads and lightning release to establish energy sources, truly making ninjutsu and chakra a productive force.

This is what Naruto wants to do.

It merely unifies the "power" of the Shadow with the "authority" of the Daimyo.

That alone, that single first step, is enough for the ninja world today.

but……

In the past, Naruto always wanted to achieve his goals with the least amount of effort, or even without paying any price.

He didn't want to kill anyone, didn't want to get his hands dirty, wanted to conceal his identity while completing all this, and still be able to return to Konoha unharmed to continue his peaceful life.

However, Chiba Ryosuke's fate was something he had never anticipated.

This made him realize that not everything would go according to his plan.

His hesitation and indecision will only cause more people to die meaninglessly.

What Kazuma did, and what he said, made him realize even more...

He Ma is right, they are indeed the same kind of people.

Naruto also admitted that he was too weak.

If he wants to achieve his ideals, he must pay the price.

"Heh." Naruto chuckled, "Nine-Tails, you were right before."

"Sometimes, you can't achieve something just by being rational and restrained."

"sometimes……"

Naruto slowly raised the hand that wasn't covered by bones, and his calm eyes were filled with pure killing intent and violence.

"It also requires the complete release of one's most primal and purest instincts and desires."

No matter what high-sounding reasons or excuses are used, it cannot change the fact that what he and Kazuma did was essentially the same; they just made different choices.

So, admit it.

"I was just doing what I wanted..." Naruto whispered, "raping this world that everyone thought was beyond redemption!"

boom! !

Almost the instant his words fell, the lightning net that had been gathering above was finally released.

A blinding blue-white lightning bolt instantly engulfed the entire area below, burying Naruto's figure and the hundreds upon hundreds of artificial Hollows within it!

A terrifying roar echoed throughout the heavens and the earth!
