Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

"You don't need to tell me, I'd love to see this old friend too," Obito Uchiha replied solemnly.

Payne nodded.

Before the slideshow disappeared, he asked one more question:

"By the way, Mr. Madara, do you know how Hagoromo Gengetsu was resurrected?"

"That's exactly what I want to know too!"

This time, Obito Uchiha answered from the bottom of his heart.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Ban."

Pain glanced at Obito Uchiha one last time before his illusionary form dissipated.

after that.

Obito Uchiha looked at Black Zetsu, and Black Zetsu looked at him in return.

The former's eyes narrowed, and he ordered, "I need to know all of Yu Yi Xuan Yue's whereabouts. The sudden appearance of such a troublesome fellow gives me a sense of unease."

"I see."

Black Zetsu nodded in empathy, then sank into the ground.

Obito Uchiha was left alone there, muttering, "Resurrecting Rin... even if we succeed, what then? In this flawed world, it will only bring another tragedy!"

"Therefore, no one can stop me from completely changing this ninja world!"

On the other side, on the ten fingers of the Gedo Mazo.

The six slide projectors were chatting idly.

Deidara, with his golden, spiky braid, complained, "What? Why does the leader like holding meetings just like an old man! I'm creating a new work of art. This will disrupt my inspiration, hmm."

"What's so great about art! Deidara, why don't you join me in believing in God?" Hidan, who never forgot to spread his faith, said with great enthusiasm, trying to recruit members of the Akatsuki organization.

"You guy!!!"

Deidara immediately put aside his complaints about the leader, turned around, and glared fiercely at Hidan, angrily saying, "You pyramid scheme leader with absolutely no eloquence! How dare you slander art! Bring out your damn evil god, and I'll show him what the greatness of art is! Hmm!"

Upon hearing this, Hidan was immediately enraged.

He shouted angrily, “Aaaah! You brat! How dare you insult the great God! Where are you? I will cleanse you, you heretic!”

"Come on then, if you dare!" Deidara raised his chin and continued to mock, "What kind of bullshit gods are they! They're worthless in the face of art! Hmm!"

Hidan immediately retorted: "What kind of bullshit art is this! It's laughable! Go outside and ask around, how many people believe in this stuff? Art is a joke!"

Upon hearing this, not to mention the furious Deidara, even Sasori, who had been keeping his eyes closed and showing no interest in paying attention, suddenly opened his eyes, pointed at Hidan, and coldly threatened:

"Hidan, if you dare to slander art again, I'll turn you into a puppet! I've always been interested in the question of whether an immortal can still have consciousness after being transformed into a puppet."

Although Sasori's understanding of art differs greatly from Deidara's, he still deeply admires art itself and naturally wouldn't tolerate Hidan's foul mouth slandering it.

Seeing that Deidara had gained help, Hidan, who couldn't speak for two people, quickly turned to Kakuzu: "Kakuzu, your teammate is being targeted! Come help me!"

Kakuzu glanced at him and said calmly, "I'd also like to see if you'll really die."

Hidan: "."

Not far away, Kisame, who had witnessed everything, smiled and said, "What a vibrant organization! Unlike Kirigakure, where everyone is so gloomy and ready to stab you in the back at any moment. Itachi, what do you think?"

Uchiha Itachi did not answer. His Sharingan seemed to be directed at everyone, but he was actually thinking about something.

Kisame had come to understand his teammate, who often remained silent and didn't seem like the ruthless person who slaughtered his entire clan, after spending more time with him.

He continued nonchalantly, "Still thinking about the Nine-Tails? The leader won't blame us for not succeeding under those circumstances."

"Or perhaps...you're thinking about your younger brother?"

Kisame looked at Itachi Uchiha, a strange smile appearing on his shark-like face. "I'm really curious that you, who slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan, would spare your younger brother. That's the second time now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Itachi Uchiha's expression finally changed, and he slowly said:

"I'm thinking about someone else."

"Oh? Who?"

"Feathered Robe and Mysterious Moon".

"That guy~~~"

Kisame habitually touched the non-existent Samehada behind him, his voice filled with reminiscence.

"If I had to pick an impression of that person, Kirigakure would be the most memorable. I remember during my time at the Ninja Academy, there were many times when the teachers would mention him through gritted teeth, as if all the misfortunes that Kirigakure had suffered over the years were caused by him."

Instead of looking for their own problems, they blame the dead.

"What a joke!"

Kisame scoffed.

Itachi Uchiha gave Kisame a deep look and calmly said, "So this is the reason you betrayed the village?"

“There are many more,” Kisame replied with a smile.

"Speaking of which, with the legendary return of Hagoromo Gengetsu, it seems the ninja world is going to be anything but peaceful! I really want to go and see what the situation is like in Kirigakure now."

"You really enjoy turmoil?" Itachi Uchiha asked casually.

Kisame said, "It's not that I like it, it's that the organization likes it."

Itachi Uchiha nodded knowingly.

Just then, the illusions of Payne and Konan appeared before everyone.

Without further ado, the former decisively issued the order: "The ninja world is about to become quite turbulent; it's time for the Akatsuki to further expand its operations."

As Kisame said, Akatsuki's initial mission was to gather a large amount of funds.

As a result, the Akatsuki organization is seen by outsiders as a mercenary organization that deliberately instigates small wars. They first monopolize war contracts from small countries at low prices, and then escalate the scale of the wars to seek greater profits.

The news of Hagoromo Gengetsu's resurrection shook the entire ninja world and attracted much attention, which was the moment when these conspirators rose to power.

Payne then issued a series of tasks to accelerate the Akatsuki's final plan.

Before the meeting ended.

Uchiha Itachi specifically asked, "How should we deal with Hagoromo Gengetsu?"

Payne glanced at him indifferently.

"No need to pay attention."

"Disperse!"

In an instant, the area in front of the demonic statue of the heretic was empty and fell silent once more.

Chapter 54 New Mission

【Ding! 】

[Task being posted]

Main Quest: Become the leader of the truant quartet.

[Mission Description: The path to revenge at the Ninja Academy has begun. Although the host defeated Naruto Uzumaki, the teachers and classmates still haven't set their sights on the host. Simply defeating the underdog isn't enough; the host has decided to set their sights on the truant four. Defeat Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Naruto Uzumaki (completed), and Kiba Inuzuka to take the path to revenge at the Ninja Academy to the next level, until finally dominating the Ninja Academy!]

[Task Hint: This is a main quest; it cannot be refused or avoided.]

Ding! Ding!

[Task being posted]

Side Quest: Childhood Sweethearts

[Mission Description: What's student life without romance? It's one thing for Uchiha Sasuke to be adored by countless female classmates, but even the underdog Uzumaki Naruto is liked by Hinata, the noblewoman of the Hyuga clan. The host, aspiring to become the king of the ninja academy, is unwilling to be second to anyone and decides to choose a female classmate as his romantic partner. The mission is complete if the female classmate develops strong feelings for the host.]

[Side quests are optional, and the host can choose to accept or reject them. There is no penalty for failure, and rewards will be given for success.]

[Side Quest Reward: Radiant Beauty Technique (Both men and women love beauty. This technique allows the host to maintain their best appearance, unaffected by negative effects such as gray hair, wrinkles, and dirt.)]

A series of system messages flooded my mind.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue, who was enjoying a hot spring bath at an inn, ripped off the towel covering her face, opened her eyes, looked at the white steam rising from the hot spring around her, and raised an eyebrow, saying:

"I was wondering why the system had gone silent, and whether it would just keep playing dead. I didn't expect to get two missions at once."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue reviewed the information in her mind.

The first main quest is nothing special.

Since the path to dominating the ninja academy is to defeat Naruto Uzumaki and then go a step further by defeating several of the Konoha 12, it's only natural that they would do so.

But it's another side quest.

"Completion brings rewards, failure is no big deal, sounds pretty good. But the task itself..."

How can you connect emotionally with a girl in her early teens?

System, what are you thinking?

Unable to swallow her pride, Yu Yi Xuan Yue instinctively wanted to refuse.

However, when they saw that the final side quest had given out a reward in advance, and that the reward was a ninjutsu technique that was related to appearance, they were surprised.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue, who had always been very particular about her appearance, suddenly had a glint in her eyes.

"Ahem. Unlike the main quest, the side quests actually reveal the rewards in advance. The deeper meaning behind this is worth pondering."

"Failure won't have much of an impact anyway. Let's take a look first."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue solemnly put away the side quest in her mind, then stood up.

Wow~

The scalding hot spring water slid rapidly down his perfectly proportioned body.

Only when the white fog dissipates and you look again can you see it.

The body, which should have been flawless, is now riddled with craters.

The most severe injury was to a dent in the chest area, deep enough to be the size of half a fist.
