Naruto: From Fake to Real, Deceiving the Ninja World.

Chapter 62 Shattering and Reshaping Worldviews

Orochimaru's idea is theoretically feasible.

After all, "Impure World Reincarnation" is essentially a summoning technique, only the target of the summoning is not a ninja beast but the soul of the dead.

But the premise is that the so-called "virtual world" actually exists.

So, does the "virtual world" exist?

"The moment Orochimaru found the 'space-time hole,' the so-called 'virtual world' naturally came into being."

In the Land of Rain, Hyuga Kumokawa smiled, already able to guess Orochimaru's reaction upon seeing the scroll's contents.

The "virtual world" is false, and "virtual" is also false.

However, the "space-time tunnel" that connects to another space is real, and it is theoretically possible for a soul to become stronger by devouring its own kind.

To make his lies more believable, Hyuga Kumokawa spent a lot of time sneaking into the Hyuga clan's ancestral library, browsing through various ancient books and legends that were not valued by others.

He found records related to "wandering people" in ancient books, which are the ancient civilization's survivors in the original theatrical version of the novel, "Great Clash! The Phantom Underground Ruins".

That civilization created an empire using the "Greel Stone," which contained immense power, and possessed a "Spacetime Hole" that connected to independent spaces.

Therefore, the only thing Hyuga Kumokawa needs to do is to take over the space connected by the "space-time hole" and transform it into his own "virtual world" when Orochimaru finds the ruins of that civilization.

Orochimaru's later research on soul devouring and becoming stronger will naturally be transformed into the rules of the world by Hyuga Kumokawa through points.

At that time, souls that die with obsession and resentment will not enter the Pure Land, but will instead follow their instincts to devour other souls and be born in this world as "emptiness".

This is also the sentence that Orochimaru didn't see later: once artificially cultivated and the pathway opened, the "Hollow" will "leave" the Hollow Realm and appear in the Ninja Realm.

The entire ninja world will be gripped by fear and turmoil; his lies will become reality in that instant.

"Although the idea of ​​materializing the ethereal 'rules' has been around for a long time, this is the first time it has been truly put into practice."

"However, the system's initial response was 'insufficient points' rather than 'unable to materialize,' which indicates that the materialization 'rule' is indeed feasible to some extent."

Hinata Kumokawa's eyes flickered slightly as he thought, "Although it will cost a lot of points, if it really works, the points I'll gain will be beyond my wildest imagination."

Because the target of this lie will not only be all the ninjas in the ninja world, but also the Sage of Six Paths and even Isshiki Otsutsuki, who is hiding in the shadows.

You could even say that he deceived the entire "world".

【Ding! 】

[Your lie has been judged as [Blinded by a Leaf], [Fake News], and [Mirage]. Orochimaru experiences extremely intense emotional fluctuations, reaching the level of [Doubting the World]. You have gained 2000 Truth Points.]

[Remaining realization points: 12194]

really.

Hearing the system notification in his mind, Hinata Kumokawa reaffirmed his decision.

Orochimaru alone contributed two thousand points.

Indeed, only by shattering their worldview and then reshaping it with lies can one obtain a massive number of points.

"I hope that our beloved Lord Orochimaru can do it as soon as possible. With his talent, as long as he wants to do it and dares to do it, developing a technique to devour souls and become stronger is not a difficult task."

Hinata Kumokawa silently prayed for Orochimaru, and couldn't help but marvel once again at how useful this tool was.

If he were to do it himself, it would require an unimaginable amount of points and effort. It's better to let Orochimaru do it now.

"Even though I almost killed him, he still repays kindness with kindness and doesn't hold a grudge. Lord Orochimaru is such a good person."

Hyuga Yunchuan sighed inwardly, but Orochimaru still needed time, and he also needed to accumulate points before he could materialize the "rules" in one fell swoop.

He could only put his thoughts aside for the time being and sat on the bed looking out the window.

From here, one can see the towering, massive tower in the distance, a symbol of the absolute power of Amegakure, like a tombstone piercing the rain, overlooking this land soaked in tears and imprisoned by steel.

Kakashi Hatake has already sent a message to the village. As long as they receive Hiruzen Sarutobi's approval, they will go to Amegakure to find Hanzo and proactively offer their assistance in forming an alliance.

Given Hiruzen Sarutobi's personality, there's absolutely no reason for him to refuse. And considering Hanzo's predicament both internally and externally, he probably wouldn't refuse an alliance either.

Admittedly, this is indeed a mutually beneficial approach.

The Land of Rain became a barrier for the Land of Fire against the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, while the Land of Fire provided the Land of Rain with food, weapons, and other supplies.

but……

"Will the citizens of the Land of Rain and the ninjas of Amegakure willingly become cannon fodder for Konoha?"

"Would Nagato and Obito Uchiha allow the Land of Rain, which they already possessed, to become a vassal and sacrifice of a great power?"

"And also, would I allow it?"

Hinata Kumokawa smiled, his shadow swirling beneath his feet.

A black robe was put on him, and his figure disappeared from the room, leaving only a shadow clone behind.

--------

In the Hidden Rain Village, on top of the high tower.

Hanzo remained seated cross-legged by the window, quietly watching the rain outside.

The Land of Rain, a country soaked in icy rain, a country sandwiched between the three great nations of fire, wind, and earth, has historically suffered from the ravages of great power wars, its land turned into battlefields, and its people displaced.

It has no bright sunshine, no fertile land, only endless dampness, cold steel, and a deep-seated pain that is repeatedly washed away by the rain but never dissipates.

It is a microcosm of the cruel reality of the ninja world, an unhealed scar of war, and a breeding ground for ideals to be twisted in despair. Here, the continuous rain seems to be the silent weeping of this country, a collection of tears from countless lost lives.

It washes away the bloodstains, but it cannot wash away the hatred.

"ideal?"

Hanzo once again recalled the young man named Yahiko, and thought of the "ideals" and "peace" that Yahiko had spoken of.

Did that young Hanzo not have ideals? Did he not yearn for peace?

In my youthful arrogance, I always thought that there was nothing I wouldn't do.

As time goes by, I finally realize that everyone's strength has its limits.

He is now the leader of Amegakure, a hero of the Land of Rain, and carries the lives of thousands upon thousands of people on his shoulders. He cannot gamble, dares not gamble, and cannot win the gamble.

With this in mind, Hanzo's cloudy eyes gradually hardened.

knock knock.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Hanzo's thoughts were interrupted, and he said calmly.

A Rain Village ninja rushed in, shouting, "No, something terrible has happened, Lord Hanzo..."

"Shut up!" Hanzo's voice turned cold. "What's all the panic about? I'm not dead yet, the sky isn't falling!"

"Yes, yes." The Rain Village ninja pursed his dry lips and calmly reported, "Lord Hanzo, the people from Konoha have arrived. They want to see you."

"Konoha?" Hanzo frowned immediately, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

Coming so soon?

If you haven't seen the movie version, you don't need to watch it. The plot isn't great. I'm just using the setting as a starting point and won't write a detailed plot summary for the movie. It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it, so there's no need to torture yourself.

Chapter 63 Weak Points and Fatal Flaws

"..."

The room fell into a deathly silence, and the atmosphere gradually became oppressive.

Having received no reply from Hanzo for a long time, the Amegakure ninja knelt on one knee behind the screen, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

"Shenda".

Hanzo's voice, so calm it was almost eerie, reached his ears. The Rain Village ninja called "Shinta" subconsciously looked up and saw the figure that had been behind the screen walk out.

Upon seeing that calm and indifferent familiar face, Jinta, as Hanzo's "right hand," suddenly felt that the old man in front of him was somewhat unfamiliar.

Even if his figure remains upright, the weariness in his bones is impossible to conceal.

Lord Hanzo, have you really aged so much?

"Take three squads from the Anbu and come with me to meet the people of Konoha. Let's see what they're up to this time."

Hanzo's voice was cold and calm, the hardness in his words like hammering a nail into a wall.

"Yes, Lord Hanzo!"

Shen Da, who had been lost in thought, suddenly snapped out of it, lowered his head and answered, pursing his dry lips.

At this moment, he was both surprised and delighted. He was surprised by Hanzo's old age, and delighted by Hanzo's toughness.

Lord Hanzo is still the same Lord Hanzo, still a hero of Amegakure.

Rumble!

As Hanzo led his men out of the tower, a bolt of lightning illuminated the desolate world, coinciding with a thunderclap in the sky.

The gray sky seemed to have cracked open with a blue gap, from which dense raindrops poured down, intertwining before Hanzo's eyes like the veins of leaves.

He hasn't made a move in far too long, and hasn't even stepped out of the tower in far too long.

Fear forced him to hide atop the tower, and he was even more unwilling to let anyone see his aging appearance.

However, since the people from Konoha dared to come to our door, it means they must have already gathered a lot of intelligence.

Therefore, at this moment, he could no longer afford to be timid or hesitant.

The people of Konoha were following protocol in requesting an audience with him, and he had no reason to refuse their request.

If we back down now, if we show weakness, we will be ruined.

For Hanzo now, this is more terrifying than death.

Because he doesn't have much left now.

A moment later, Hanzo walked into the watchtower in front of Amegakure's gate. The moment he stepped inside, the heavy rain that had been pressing down on his shoulders was cut off.

He finally saw who the people Konoha had sent to see him were.

"Hanzo-sama."

Kakashi Hatake bowed slightly, his attitude impeccably humble and polite, and said, "We are deeply honored that you have agreed to this meeting. Please allow me to convey my regards to you on behalf of the Third Hokage."

This is to tell Hanzo that this meeting is public and proper, with Hiruzen Sarutobi's permission.

However, even though he was very humble, the Amegakure ninjas following behind Hanzo still looked at them with hostility and even hatred.

Most of Hanzo's men harbored deep-seated hatred for these powerful nations that had brought disaster and suffering to their country, so they naturally had no friendly attitude towards Kakashi Hatake and his group.

"..."

Hanzo looked at the young Konoha prodigy in front of him and felt saddened once again by the gap between Amegakure and Konoha. His gaze then swept over the dozen or so Konoha ninjas behind him.

A team of more than a dozen people entered the capital of the Land of Rain and even stayed for several days to gather intelligence, thoroughly investigating the information about Amegakure. His Amegakure village was completely unaware of this.

Thinking of this, Hanzo's suspicious and insecure nature kicked in again, and he said in a slightly cold tone, "Enough with the nonsense, I'm here. What do you want?"

Kakashi Hatake ignored Hanzo's condescending attitude, took out a scroll from his pocket, and handed it to Hanzo with both hands.

Shinta, who was behind Hanzo, stepped forward to take the scroll in Hanzo's place, but Hanzo raised his hand to stop him.

Even if you have to put on a brave face, you can't show the slightest fear.

Hanzo reached out and took the scroll himself, appearing calm and collected on the surface, but actually opening it cautiously.

If this scroll had been sent by Danzo Shimura, he would never have been so calm, given that he had worked with Danzo and knew him very well.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi was not Danzo Shimura after all, and would not resort to underhanded tactics in such a place, so it was just a letter with sincere words.

"..."

Hanzo's gaze swept over the contents, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Kakashi Hatake and the other Konoha members observed his expression and reaction.

They received a reply from the third-generation official on the third day after sending the message.

As they had expected, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not refuse and allowed them to proceed.

The only thing is that Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude is ambiguous, and even Kakashi thinks it has a deeper meaning.
