Naruto: Reincarnation of a Hundred Lifetimes, the Uchiha's White Moonlight

As soon as Kakashi appeared at the orphanage, he instantly became the focus of the children's attention, attracting a crowd of little ones.

Firstly, it was because of his identity as a ninja, and secondly, it was because of his recent achievement in pacifying the Land of Snow, which had already been widely publicized in the village.

He is a true hero in the hearts of children.

The children chattered excitedly, their innocent words flowing one after another: "Lord Kakashi, I heard you're still single. Shall we introduce you to our headmaster?"

"Kakashi-senpai must like pretty older women, like Rin-neechan."

"Lord Kakashi and Rin will definitely be together, right?"

These unintentional words, ironically, became the most powerful assist.

Kakashi had originally planned to wait until they had gotten to know each other better before confessing his feelings, but now, with the right timing, location, and circumstances, wasn't this the perfect opportunity?

Once Kakashi understood this, he no longer hesitated.

He took a deep breath, and in front of all the children, mustered the greatest courage of his life, looked intently at Nohara Rin, and said in a soft but clear voice, "Rin, I like you."

On the other side, Yun An was hiding behind a tree outside the courtyard, watching the confession drama with great interest. His mouth was practically stretched to his ears, making him look like a typical bystander.

But at that moment, a chilling aura silently enveloped the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

At the entrance of Konoha Village, Madara Uchiha appeared out of thin air, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth as he looked at the layers of barriers surrounding the village.

The next second, a massive amount of Yin Release chakra condensed from his palm, transforming into a sharp burst of energy that slammed into the barrier. With a few crisp "crack" sounds, the multiple barriers set up by Konoha shattered instantly, breaking into specks of spiritual light that dissipated into the air.

"It's a bit stronger than the barrier ninjutsu from back then, but unfortunately the chakra level is still not high enough. This little trick can't stop me."

Madara Uchiha snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain.

Black Zetsu beside him had a complicated look in his eyes and quickly whispered a dissuasion: "Lord Madara, now is not the time to deal with Konoha. Konoha is full of talented people now, with several Kage-level and Super Kage-level powerhouses, and that guy Yun An is even more troublesome."

Your strength has not yet recovered to its peak. If you act rashly, there may be unforeseen circumstances. It would be better to reconsider your actions further.

At this moment, Black Zetsu was truly thinking of Madara Uchiha wholeheartedly.

Without Obito Uchiha as an ally.

Now, the only person he can rely on is Madara Uchiha. Only by borrowing Madara's strength can he continue to collect the tailed beasts and complete the plan to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Madara Uchiha glanced at him, his face still arrogant, but he was not without consideration in his heart.

He also knew that Konoha today was no longer the ninja village he remembered; its strength was incomparable.

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

Let's take a look at what this brand new Konoha is like today.

Even if it doesn't work out, consider it as gathering intelligence.

Hearing that he did not intend to start a war immediately, Black Zetsu finally felt a little relieved.

This legendary figure, who was once famous throughout the ninja world, was ultimately both brave and resourceful, and not just a reckless brute.

As long as Madara Uchiha is around.

They still have a chance.

They could even use this opportunity to win over the Uchiha clan of Konoha.

The Uchiha clan now holds a stable position in Konoha. If they want to advance further, such as producing a Hokage, the existence of Madara Uchiha is their greatest source of confidence. This temptation is enough to entice the Uchiha clan.

Alone and unnoticed, they slipped into Konoha Village and strolled through its streets.

A hint of surprise flashed in Black Zetsu's eyes, which then turned into astonishment.

Madara Uchiha, standing beside him, was utterly shocked.

The Konoha before him was so unfamiliar that he couldn't recognize it; everything he saw was a scene he had never imagined.

In the central square of Konoha, a huge LCD screen hangs high, on which the image of the Fifth Hokage Orochimaru flashes from time to time. It is a video of his speech, which is played repeatedly and for a long time.

On the screen, Orochimaru wore his signature warm winter sun smile. His voice, amplified by his ninja tool, resounded throughout the plaza and reached the ears of Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu: "Konoha is the number one ninja village in the ninja world; the Land of Fire is a superpower in the ninja world."

As a major power, we should spread the concept of peace to all corners of the world.

Amegakure was our first stop in peace; the Land of Snow was our second stop.

Our goal has never been invasion, but rather to bring the people of Amegakure and the Land of Snow into the Konoha family.

"As ninjas and villagers of Konoha, we should gladly accept them and spread the ideals of peace to everyone who needs them."

Reject war and stay away from the flames of conflict.

Ninjas are not machines of violence, but guardians of peace.

These words have been repeated on the screen several times, but they have a fatal allure to the ninja world.

After all, a major war breaks out in the ninja world every six or seven years, with endless war and people suffering. Peace is the deepest desire in everyone's heart.

Passing travelers and villagers of Konoha all stopped in front of the square, their hearts pounding with emotion as they listened.

The villagers of Konoha, in particular, stood tall and proud, their faces beaming with pride, whispering among themselves: "This is Konoha, led by the Fifth Hokage. This is our true ninja village."

"The first stop for peace is Amegakure, the second is the Land of Snow, and the next stop will surely be Kirigakure."

"As long as the ideal of peace spreads, everyone will become a part of Konoha. Those who like war are all madmen. Konoha is the last pure land on earth."

Black Zetsu suppressed the surging surprise in his heart. Beside him, Uchiha Madara looked at the bustling crowds in the streets and alleys, the smiles on the doors of every household, and the sense of belonging etched on everyone's faces. He couldn't help but smile slightly, his tone filled with admiration: "I'm afraid even if Hashirama were alive, he might not have been able to bring such fame to Konoha."

Black Zetsu cautiously added from the side, his words barely concealing his感慨: "Indeed."

Now, Konoha is thriving thanks to Yun'an's help.

His relatives, friends, and partners all united as one, and the entire village underwent a complete transformation, evolving from an ancient village into this modern place.

In the words of the Fifth Hokage, this is the advanced trend, the appearance of a new world.

He had absolutely no attachment to this so-called "new world".

His only thought was of his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was sealed on the moon.

As long as he can rescue his mother, the old world or the new world are nothing but fleeting clouds to him.

It was precisely this extreme filial piety that made Yun'an always leave room for him.

Of all virtues, filial piety is the most important. On this point alone, Black Zetsu's character is flawless.

As for whether this filial piety has become blind obedience, opinions on it have always been mixed, and Yun'an has never made much of a judgment.
