Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

"Then why did you say that...?"

"So, I've decided to spend thousands, even tens of thousands of years integrating this world, at least so that people ten thousand years from now can escape the forest of hatred," Naruto suddenly said solemnly.

"If someone in Konoha kills someone for a piece of bread to avoid starvation, then it is not their fault but mine, the Hokage's fault."

"So at least in this generation, I want to make sure that no one goes hungry anymore, and that no one has to plunder or kill others in order to survive!"

Nagato remained stunned for a long time after hearing Naruto's words.

"At least let everyone stop going hungry... Ha, that certainly sounds more realistic than some vague notion of peace."

Nagato recalled how, after losing his parents as a child, he, Konan, and Yahiko often worried about going hungry and even had to steal food from vendors.

He didn't have any thoughts on this, because if they hadn't stolen it, the three of them would have starved to death, and he absolutely couldn't accept the outcome of Konan and Yahiko starving to death.

But imagine if, as Naruto says, everyone could have enough to eat, it would certainly be a better world than one where children go hungry.

Then Nagato's expression became more serious, and he spoke in a gentle tone: "Naruto, I have some information to tell you about that Uchiha Madara... Uchiha Obito."

Naruto nodded, signaling him to continue.

"Actually, I have never really trusted Obito Uchiha because he is too mysterious and has hidden a lot of things. He even seems to be manipulating the development of the Akatsuki. But since it doesn't conflict with my goals, and I have the confidence that comes with the Rinnegan, I have never bothered with him."

"Looking back now, the timing of his appearance was just very strange."

A look of reminiscence crossed Nagato's face, but the more he recalled, the more solemn his expression became.

"He appeared when the Akatsuki organization was just starting out, and Yahiko was still alive at that time."

“He claimed to be Madara Uchiha and said that I, who possessed the Rinnegan, was the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths. At the time, we found him suspicious and did not allow him to join Akatsuki. It was not until Yahiko died that he proposed to collect the nine tailed beasts to create the ultimate weapon that I allowed him to join Akatsuki.”

"Looking back now, the timing of his appearance was just too clever. When we came back from meeting with Hanzo, we found that all the original members of Akatsuki were dead. At first, I thought it was done by Hanzo's subordinates, but it might actually have been done by Obito Uchiha. He wanted to plunge Akatsuki into complete darkness."

Naruto seemed thoughtful upon hearing this, and another question came to mind: "What is the process of collecting the nine tailed beasts to forge the ultimate weapon? How do you store the tailed beast chakra?"

Nagato patiently explained, "It is by using a body called the Gedo Mazo. As long as the chakra of the nine tailed beasts is collected, it can be revived and become the Ten-Tails."

"Where did the Gedo Mazo go?" Sasuke asked impatiently.

At this point, Nagato's expression darkened: "It was also taken by Obito Uchiha..."

"Tsk, so useless," Sasuke said with dissatisfaction.

“Sasuke.” Kakashi nudged him with his elbow.

Nagato didn't take this to heart, but instead reminded Naruto, "The Gedo Mazo now contains the chakra of the Three-Tails, Four-Tails, Six-Tails, and Seven-Tails, so it's basically halfway revived."

"Since you have such a dream, you must immediately gather the Jinchuriki from all the ninja villages together to protect them, so that Obito Uchiha can not steal the Tailed Beast chakra and revive the Ten-Tails."

But Naruto shook his head: "There's no such thing as being a thief for a thousand days and guarding against a thief for a thousand days. Besides, even with Obito Uchiha's Kamui, it would be difficult to defend against him."

"So what do you plan to do? You can't just hand over the Tailed Beast's chakra, can you?"

Naruto smiled slightly, "We still need to take precautions, but that's definitely not the last resort."

"Since Obito Uchiha wants to revive the Ten-Tails, it's simple, I'll just become stronger than the Ten-Tails, won't I?"

Hearing such arrogant words, Nagato wanted to refute Naruto, but then he remembered Naruto's "Six Paths Mode" during the battle just now.

"Could it be that you have a way to become as strong as the Sage of Six Paths without relying on the Ten-Tails?"

Naruto shook his head.

"I knew it was wrong to do something like that..."

"I will become stronger than the Sage of Six Paths."

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent for a moment.

The first reaction of everyone was that it was impossible, because the Sage of Six Paths was a god in legend who created chakra, created the world, and possessed immense power.

But Naruto's unquestionable tone and the formidable strength he had displayed made everyone wonder: if it were Naruto, perhaps it really could work.

Thinking of this, Nagato's face lit up with anticipation as he asked Naruto, "So, Naruto, what are you planning to do next?"

"Having slogans without taking action is too vague."

Naruto said slowly, "I plan to finish up the Ninja Alliance first, and then get other small countries to join in."

At this point, Naruto glanced at Nagato with a rather speechless expression: "If it weren't for the Akatsuki incident, I would have already gotten all the countries to join, including the Land of Rain."

"I'm really sorry..." Nagato's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

"And then what? If there is only unification, it will definitely be like what you just said, only superficial harmony, and those people will actually accumulate a lot of resentment in their hearts."

"And then? Then I will distribute the production of ninjutsu unconditionally to all countries and personally help them improve their harsh geographical environments."

"Aren't you afraid that this will strengthen their national power and give them other ideas...?"

As soon as he said it, Nagato realized that with Naruto's strength, he didn't need to care whether these people had any intention of rebelling, since they would all be suppressed anyway.

After saying all that, Nagato understood that Naruto wasn't the kind of naive guy who only had ideals but didn't take any real action.

His heart gradually calmed down, and the expression on his face looked as if he were about to give his last words.

"Naruto Uzumaki, I heard you want to become the Lord of the Pure Land? Heh, when that day comes, you must summon me so I can see the new world you've created with my own eyes."

He then looked at Jiraiya and said with a hint of guilt, "Jiraiya-sensei, I'm sorry. I have failed your trust and failed to find true peace. I have only brought disaster to the world."

"I'm sorry, I have to go keep Minami and Yahiko company..."

Jiraiya sighed, about to say something, but found that Nagato had already fallen silent.

He stood there, stunned, for a long time.

"Naruto, you guys go back first."

"I want to stay here for a while, to be alone."

"Then, bury Nagato and the other two, my former disciples, in peace."

Chapter 118 New Production Ninjutsu

With the Akatsuki matter settled, Naruto didn't return to Konoha first, but stayed in the Land of Rain to help Jiraiya prepare for his funeral.

The funerals for Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko were simple, with few people in attendance. They were simply buried together, mainly by Jiraiya who mourned them.

With the Land of Rain leaderless, Kakashi quietly promoted the Ninja Alliance on behalf of Naruto. It was clear that many people were interested, since they might not understand what the Ninja Alliance was, but they knew that joining it would guarantee them a good life.

"Naruto, things are settled with the Land of Rain. At least 90% of the ordinary people are willing to join, 70% of the ninjas are willing, 25% are hesitant, and the remaining 5% are doubtful," Kakashi whispered to Naruto.

Naruto nodded. This data basically meant that the Land of Rain had also joined the Ninja Alliance.

Unifying the ninja world wouldn't be difficult for Naruto at this point.

The people who are truly missing are the ones who need to be worried about.

For example, there seems to be a guy named "Zetsu" in the Akatsuki organization who has been following Obito Uchiha, but this person is too mysterious and the outside world doesn't know much about him.

As for Itachi Uchiha, Naruto doesn't care much about him. After all, he promised to leave it entirely to the two brothers to handle themselves, and he'll just go over and watch at the time.

Finally, there's Obito Uchiha. Now that he possesses both Kamui and the Rinnegan, his strength has undoubtedly increased.

Of course, it's all the same in front of Naruto, who already possesses Six Paths Sage Mode.

The current situation is more like an arms race between the two sides, seeing whether Obito Uchiha will revive the Ten-Tails first, or Naruto will complete the ritual first.

So even though it's impossible to completely prevent it, we still need to gather the Jinchuriki together and buy some time.

Once Obito Uchiha emerges from the Kamui dimension, Sasuke will be able to locate him using the Hatsumi system and end this once and for all.

"Kakashi-sensei, arrange a meeting of the Five Kage," Naruto said calmly.

“Okay.” Kakashi immediately summoned his ninja dog Pakkun, gave him a letter to deliver to Shikamaru, and then released the summon.

Next, Naruto went to the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Rain. The Daimyo had naturally been hiding for a long time, but since it was a small country, Naruto used his extremely wide-ranging senses to search and found him.

After a brief investigation, Naruto discovered a series of crimes committed by the Daimyo of the Land of Rain, such as imposing exorbitant taxes.

Naruto then killed him in public, installed his newly adult child as the new leader, and made him announce that the Land of Rain would henceforth join the Ninja Alliance.

After leaving behind the production of ninjutsu and using the power of the Six Paths to regulate the weather in the Land of Rain, Naruto and his group left the Land of Rain.

......

The Land of Earth.

The Tsuchikage, no, the former Tsuchikage, Onoki, looked at the two scrolls in his hands and sighed repeatedly.

"Grandpa, I feel like I just saw this scene not long ago," Kurotsuchi, Onoki's granddaughter, teased.

"That's because another thing has come up that's bothering me." Onoki glared at her.

"Can anything be more frustrating than having Deidara become the Tsuchikage?"

It's better not to mention this, because just thinking about Onoki makes my head hurt even more.

That's right, the Fourth Tsuchikage really is Deidara.

The main reason is that with the new version of Deidara made of explosive clay, he is indeed the strongest in the Land of Earth, and even Onoki has to admit defeat.

Moreover, in a sense, this can be seen as the Land of Earth showing goodwill to Konoha, or rather, to Naruto. After all, Deidara had been staying in Konoha before returning to the Land of Earth and was considered a "pro-Naruto" figure.

Of course, Deidara has changed quite a bit since returning from Konoha. He is quite adept at handling government affairs and is not just a figurehead.

With the occasional assistance and guidance from the former Tsuchikage, Onoki, Deidara hasn't encountered any major problems since taking over as Tsuchikage.

However... Deidara hasn't changed at all when it comes to "pursuing art," or rather, he's become even more enthusiastic. He often pesters the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Khan, for Tailed Beast Chakra, creating huge explosions even outside the village, which is a bit of a nuisance.

Onoki sighed, waved his hand, and an Anbu member appeared in front of him.

"Go and call Deidara over here."

Soon, a shadow appeared by the window of the Tsuchikage's office; it was a large clay bird.

Deidara impatiently jumped off the clay bird and climbed through the window.

"What are you doing, old man? Didn't we agree that I would have three days out of every seven to practice art? What political affairs can't you decide?"

Before Onoki could even open his mouth to reprimand him, Kurotsuchi couldn't hold back any longer: "What do you take the Tsuchikage for?!"

"Of course, it's a responsibility entrusted to me by my older brother Naruto."

Deidara picked at his ear, seemingly too lazy to continue this endless argument, and asked directly, "What is it that specifically called me back?"

Onoki sighed in exasperation and handed the two scrolls in front of him to Deidara and Kurotsuchi.
