Naruto: Experience Pain, Start by Copying the Entire Shinobi World

In the tower hall of Amegakure, the air was so quiet that you could hear the raindrops tapping on the glass.

Yahiko dropped the kunai in his hand with a crisp "clang". He opened his mouth, looked at the masked man who was hugging Qianxuan's leg and crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, and then looked at Qianxuan with a helpless expression. He felt that his proud leadership seemed so pale and powerless at this moment.

Nagato's eyes, which should have seen through the world's sorrows, were now filled with bewilderment.

Behind him, Pipa Juzo rubbed his eyes hard, wondering if he was hallucinating because he had been too tired from helping the village's old ladies carry rice recently.

The Prophet... has this... um... lively follower?

Xiao Nan stood there, having completely given up on thinking.

She felt as if her brain had been formatted by Qian Xuan with brute force and then filled with a bunch of gibberish, causing it to completely crash.

Within that body, which was crying so loudly, Black Zetsu's heart was undergoing an unprecedented storm.

What's the plan?

What happened to the script I meticulously prepared for so long, full of mystery and oppression, the story of the king's return?

What about that "Uchiha Madara," who was high above all others, looked down on all living beings as ants, and whose words could make the world tremble?

How did she turn into a complete idiot, clinging to a man's leg and crying like a three-year-old whose lollipop was stolen?!

Black Zetsu felt his body, composed of pure will, fluctuating violently, almost detaching from Obito.

Shuo Ye Qian Xuan!

It's that man again!

He's like a virus, an unpredictable bug. Every time he appears, he can turn the tracks I've painstakingly laid out upside down!

hateful!!!

Damn it!!!

Black Zetsu roared madly in his heart.

But after the roar, what surged into my heart was an even deeper sense of powerlessness.

He needs this man.

Ban's corpse was in his hands, and the power of those eyes was also within him.

To revive his mother, Sakuya Chigen is an unavoidable link.

Tolerate!

We must endure it!

For my mother's sake... I must endure this humiliation!

Black Zetsu forcibly calmed his nearly collapsing emotions and went back into hiding.

"Cough cough."

Qian Xuan cleared his throat, breaking the suffocating awkwardness.

He reached out and patted the head of the masked man who was still rubbing against his leg, as if soothing a frightened husky.

"Alright, alright, Ah Fei, stop crying. There are so many people watching, it's so embarrassing."

He turned his head and gave a kind, elder-like smile to the bewildered Yahiko and the others.

"Let me introduce you all. This is Afei, my distant cousin who ran away from home many years ago. His mind... well, he's been a little abnormal since he was a child, so please bear with him."

Distant cousin?

Yahiko and Nagato exchanged a glance; this explanation seemed... even more outrageous.

"Ah Fei, come on, get up first."

Qianxuan tried to pull the "hanger" off his leg.

"My brother and I haven't seen each other in a long time, and we have a lot to talk about. Yahiko, find us a quiet room."

"Ah... Oh! Okay, senpai!"

As if waking from a dream, Yahiko quickly led the way.

Obito then scrambled to his feet, sobbing, and followed closely behind Sengen. His docile, submissive demeanor was a stark contrast to his over-the-top, chuunibyou-esque entrance.

In the hall, the Akatsuki members looked at each other, feeling that their worldview had been shaken like never before.

……

On the top floor of the tower, in a secluded room.

Qianxuan kicked the door shut and then plopped down on the only chair in the room without any hesitation.

"Speak."

He crossed his legs and looked at Obito Uchiha, who had removed his mask and whose eyes were still red.

"What did that old bastard Black Zetsu send you here for?"

"He...he told me to take command of Akatsuki, and then..."

Obito's voice still sounded somewhat aggrieved.

"Then you'll find an opportunity to create conflict between Yahiko and Nagato, ideally by having Yahiko die in front of Nagato, forcing Nagato to completely turn to the dark side. Finally, you can use the Rinne Rebirth technique to revive Madara Uchiha, right?"

Qianxuan read out Black Zetsu's script in one breath.

Obito's eyes widened instantly.

"Brother Qianxuan... how do you know everything?!"

"nonsense."

Qian Xuan rolled her eyes at him.

"Even Kakashi can see through your little schemes. You think you can hide them from me?"

Obito scratched his head and chuckled foolishly.

"Alright, stop laughing."

Qianxuan's expression turned serious.

"From today onwards, forget about that lousy script Black Zetsu gave you. I'm giving you a new mission, a very important, glorious mission concerning the future of the ninja world."

Upon hearing the "glorious mission," Obito's back straightened instantly, his face filled with excitement, as if saying, "Please test me, organization."

"Brother Qianxuan, just give the order! I'll go through fire and water without batting an eye!"

"No need for that."

Qianxuan stroked his chin, a kind, even benevolent, smile appearing on his face.

"Do you know what's most needed to build a peaceful and beautiful new world?"

"Love and peace?"

Obito answered tentatively.

"No."

Qianxuan shook his finger.

"It's money."

Obito:

"what?"

"Think about it, Orochimaru's laboratory, doesn't it cost money? Providing enhancement drugs to all the village's ninjas, doesn't that cost money? Increasing the compensation for fallen ninjas, improving the villagers' living standards, all of that costs money!"

Qianxuan started counting on his fingers, explaining the accounts to him.

Obito listened, stunned, feeling that... that made sense.

"But...where are we going to get so much money?"

"This is your task."

A fox-like smile appeared on Qianxuan's face.

"Obito, have you ever thought that besides fighting and running away, you could use your eyes for something else?"

"For example... to help those wealthy daimyo who have so much money they're worried about their finances, and to ease their financial burden."

Obito's mind didn't quite catch on for a moment.

"I'll give you a new code name."

Qian Xuan slapped his thigh.

"Konohagakure's Chief Asset Transfer Officer! How about that? Doesn't it sound incredibly prestigious?"

"Chief... Asset Transfer Officer?" Obito muttered the awkward term, still not understanding.

"To put it bluntly, it's about stealing... no, it's about 'borrowing'."

Qianxuan patiently guided him.

"Use Kamui to 'beg' into the treasuries of those daimyo outside the Land of Fire. Remember, keep a low profile and don't empty them all at once; that's like draining the pond to catch all the fish. We need sustainable development. Take a little each time, consider it their investment in the future peace of the ninja world."

Obito finally understood.

Brother Qianxuan is... trying to make him a thief!

Seeing Obito's conflicted expression, Qianxuan patted him on the shoulder earnestly.

"Obito, you need to change your perspective. We're robbing the rich to help the poor; we're acting on behalf of God! Think about it, instead of letting that money sit in a moldy vault, why not take it out and contribute to the peace of the ninja world? What a great act of merit that would be!"

Obito was stunned by what he was being said; it seemed... that made sense!

"The money we brought back is kept in Konoha, in the original Root base. That place is now Orochimaru's laboratory, so it's perfectly safe."

Qianxuan gave his final instructions.

"Remember, this matter is a secret known only to heaven, earth, you, and me. Absolutely no third person can know. Especially not Black Zetsu."

"I see!"

Obito nodded heavily, his eyes rekindling with a fierce fighting spirit.

So what if you're a thief!

For Brother Qianxuan, and for the peace of the ninja world, I took the job!

Looking at Obito, who had been successfully fooled, Chigen nodded in satisfaction.

His gaze inadvertently swept over a shadowy spot in the room.

That old bastard Black Zetsu must have heard it all.

It's good that you heard it.

I just want you to know that I'm not following your script anymore.

Aren't you angry?

Getting angry won't help; you can't beat me anyway.

Involuntarily, the image of a woman with flowing white hair, two horns on her forehead, and unparalleled beauty appeared in Qian Xuan's mind.

Kaguya Otsutsuki.

To be honest, he really wanted to meet this progenitor of chakra.

It's not that I want to fight, it's mainly... curiosity.

To give birth to a son like the Sage of Six Paths, what kind of stunning beauty must the mother be?

However, the thought only flashed through my mind.

Qianxuan was very self-aware. He knew that with his current strength, he was probably no match for Kaguya, just like a one-punch man... the kind who could be killed with a single punch.

Trying to bring Kaguya into the family register is a long and arduous task.

Let's play it safe and focus on building up our resources first, then we can get our hands on the money we need.

"Let's go, Chief Asset Transfer Officer."

Qianxuan stood up and patted Obito on the shoulder.

"Let me introduce you to your new colleagues. From now on, you'll be the Akatsuki's... Chief Financial Advisor and mascot."
