The ninja world is reborn, and everyone is resurrected at the start.

"And you, knowing all this, are willing to become enemies of the ninja world to destroy Konoha, is that right?"

"Wha, what?"

"What on earth does that mean?"

"So that's it! Itachi protected Konoha? And what's with the mission?"

After hearing what Kabuto Yakushi said, a few people had a glint of shrewdness in their eyes.

However, many people were still confused by what they heard!

At this moment, Naruto's friends all turned their attention to Nara Shikamaru!

"Shikamaru, what exactly is going on?"

Sakura Haruno looked intently at Shikamaru Nara and asked!

"If I'm not mistaken, the annihilation of the Uchiha clan must have been ordered by someone!"

Please don't ask about the specifics!

Nara Shikamaru sighed and replied somewhat helplessly.

"Why don't you ask? What is it that can't be said?"

Kiba Inuzuka, with his fiery temper, showed a displeased expression.

"These are the most confidential things in the timber industry. Knowing too much about them will not do you any good!"

Besides, even if we knew, what could we do?

Nara Shikamaru glanced at him and replied!

"If we know all this, we can try to persuade Sasuke to give up his hatred and return to Konoha (for the money)!"

Sakura Haruno said with an excited expression.

Her biggest dream has always been for Class 7 to be reunited.

Previously, she had no idea why Uchiha Sasuke was so determined to destroy Konoha.

But now that she finally has a lead, she doesn't want to give up so easily.

"Persuade Uchiha Sasuke?"

Gaara, who was not far away, heard Sakura Haruno's words and his face showed an expression of disbelief!

"Yes, yes! What's wrong?"

Gaara's words also caught the attention of everyone in the Wood Industry!

Everyone turned their heads and looked at him!

"What? Where do you get the confidence to think you can persuade Uchiha Sasuke?"

Looking at the Mokugoro crew's nonchalant expressions, Gaara really wanted to grab an axe and smash their skulls open to see what was going on in their heads!

Chapter 285 The Other Side of the Village

"We and Sasuke are comrades. We were just helpless because we didn't know what had happened before!"

But things are different now. As long as we know the whole story, we will definitely be able to persuade him!

After all, if Naruto can do it, there's no reason why so many of us can't.

Kiba Inuzuka stepped forward with a confident expression and said.

"..."

Looking at his expression, Gaara suddenly had an urge to send him to his grave in the desert.

But in the end, he managed to restrain himself.

After taking a few deep breaths, he continued:

"Are you sure you and Uchiha Sasuke are comrades?"

"this..."

When Gaara asked him that question, Kiba Inuzuka was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Gaara is right!"

Fortunately, Shikamaru Nara stepped in to help him out:

"If Sasuke truly considered us his comrades, he wouldn't have killed us in the second video, 'Despair'!"

Naruto was able to persuade him because they shared extremely similar tragic childhoods.

Therefore, they have things in common; it's just that their choices differ! (183)

"Fortunately, the people in the timber industry aren't fools!"

Gaara breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Nara Shikamaru said.

After thinking for a moment, he added:

"Besides, with your strength, I think you'd be killed before you even saw Uchiha Sasuke!"

"If you're going to negotiate, you need to have leverage!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Gaara's words made them very uncomfortable.

However, they were also very clear that what he said was true.

It's unrealistic to expect these pampered kids, practically raised in a greenhouse, to persuade the hard-won Sasuke Uchiha...

"Let's leave everything to Naruto! Although we're very unwilling, there's really nothing we can do right now!"

Seeing that everyone was starting to calm down, Nara Shikamaru and Gaara exchanged a glance, and their expressions also subtly relaxed.

"If possible, Shikamaru, please tell us the truth!"

After a long silence, Haruno Sakura (ajaj) took a breath and looked firmly at Nara Shikamaru, saying:

"I promise, we will absolutely not go looking for Sasuke without permission."

"...Could you give me a reason?"

Seeing Sakura Haruno's expression, Shikamaru Nara did not directly refuse.

"At the very least, if in the future we are destined to die because of Sasuke, I hope we won't be fools!!!"

Sakura Haruno looked intently at Shikamaru Nara.

"...Alright, I'll tell you!"

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Nara Shikamaru ultimately succumbed to defeat.

"If I'm not mistaken, the reason Itachi Uchiha wiped out the Uchiha clan was because Danzo or even the Third Hokage gave the order!!"

"..."

Nara Shikamaru's words stunned everyone present!

Hiruzen Sarutobi has always been seen as a kind and gentle person.

Every time the people in the timber industry saw him, he would be smiling and smoking his pipe.

Let alone ordering Itachi to exterminate the Uchiha clan—such an inhumane act—they've hardly ever seen even ordinary anger!

"Shikamaru, is everything you're saying true?"

After a long while, everyone finally calmed down a little.

"I don't know about the Third Hokage, but Danzo must know that even if he was in charge of Uchiha Sasuke, he wouldn't have made him his primary target!"

Nara Shikamaru shook his head and said.

"But isn't this too cruel?"

"Yes, to let your son kill your parents, friends, lover, even your brothers, this, this..."

The people who realized what had happened all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

They have rarely been exposed to the darkness of the ninja world, and they know even less about the other side of Konoha!

It's only natural that they were caught off guard by such explosive news.

Hearing the commotion around him, Nara Shikamaru didn't say anything, but waited quietly!

Before long, everyone gradually calmed down.

"Why are they doing this?"

After taking a deep breath, Tian Tian asked.

"When retracing the Akatsuki's movements, I discovered that some of their actions in the period leading up to the annihilation of the Uchiha clan were very strange! I suspect they were planning a coup!"

Nara Shikamaru looked intently at everyone and replied:
