RoU Chapter 167: Late-Night Intruder
🕑 Added 2024-01-14 02:33:59 +0000 UTC"Now that I have managed to awaken the Rinnegan, there are few people left who can pose a threat to me." Natsuo pondered for a moment. "Maybe I should start searching for traces of Otsutsuki Isshiki in advance."
Otsutsuki Isshiki traveled to the Shinobi World many centuries ago along with Otsutsuki Kaguya with the goal of planting a God Tree and harvesting its chakra fruit. He possesses and controls a second Ten-Tails, which is imprisoned in a special dimension. Using Jigen's identity, he founds Kara, which is an enigmatic organization made up of mysterious members and the main antagonists of the series Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
The Kara organization is divided into two groups, Inners and Outers. Natsuo doesn't know the current situation of the Inner team. After all, the members of Kara's Inner team in the Boruto Series are all modified humans, and at this time when even the Ninja Scientific Tools have not been born, they obviously do not have the ability to modify the human body.
But Natsuo still remembered that the Bounty Stations are associated with Kara: the Outer team established trading points on the black market where bounty hunters collect rewards for the names in the Bingo Book.
"Let's try to find it." Natsuo mused: "After all, the God Tree and the Ten-Tails, they are very valuable things."
Of course, this kind of thing should definitely be handed over to Konoha. As the strongest village in the Shinobi World, it is the most suitable candidate to investigate the Kara organization. In addition, Natsuo will give them access to all the resources and connections of the Uchiha clan to achieve this.
Sunagakure was the first village to end the war with Konoha. Both parties are very satisfied with this, especially Sunagakure. Although they have sacrificed some benefits, overall, this Shinobi World War was a rare great gain for Sunagakure.
In the past, Sunagakure had always been defeated in various ways, but this time it can truly be considered a victory for them. There were very few casualties and many gains.
If we don't count the war reparations that Konoha will force Iwagakure to pay in the future, Sunagakure is the biggest winner of this Shinobi World War.
Natsuo even heard that the Daimyo of the Land of Wind was shocked by Sunagakure's performance and began to provide them with sufficient funds again.
It should be noted that the reason Sunagakure joined Operation Destroy Konoha was because the Daimyo of the Land of Wind reduced its funding, forcing Sunagakure to take unconventional measures.
Now, Rasa finally doesn't have to work hard every day to mine and sell gold!
Furthermore, the other reward promised by Sunagakure was also given to Natsuo.
"Forbidden Technique: One's Own Life Reincarnation"
This is one of only two resurrection ninjutsu known in the Naruto Series. Although the cost is equally huge, its value is not small.
However, unlike the Outer Path - Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, the rebirth of 'One's Own Life Reincarnation' requires a large amount of chakra and uses one's own chakra as a means to give life to others.
After receiving the technique, Natsuo called Yakushi Kabuto.
"Kabuto, contact Orochimaru." Natsuo looked at the man in glasses in front of him.
Yakushi Kabuto was a little confused. He had been staying at the Uchiha clan's research center for too long, discussing scientific advances and developing new products with Natsuo every day. He had even forgotten that he was still Orochimaru's subordinate.
"Oh, are you looking for Orochimaru-sama?" Yakushi Kabuto was surprised, then quickly smiled. "I understand, do you need me to invite Orochimaru-sama to a specific place?"
"But if I may be frank, with Natsuo-sama's power, Orochimaru-sama may not dare to come and see you..." Yakushi Kabuto hesitated.
After all, during the Operation Destroy Konoha, Natsuo had indeed fought Orochimaru. Although they couldn't be called enemies, they were clearly not friends.
Natsuo then went on to defeat many powerful shinobi over the next period of time, gaining a great reputation. Orochimaru... He might not dare to meet him!
"No need, just pass the message to him." Natsuo waved his hand dismissively. "I just want to make a deal with him."
"What kind of deal?" Yakushi Kabuto summoned a messenger snake while asking.
"I want his Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation..." Natsuo's words made Yakushi Kabuto freeze.
'Impure World Reincarnation... That was Orochimaru-sama's biggest trump card! How could he easily give it to someone else? But if Natsuo-sama forcefully demanded it...'
"Don't misunderstand, it's not for me to learn, it's for you to learn." Natsuo glanced at Yakushi Kabuto's expression and sneered. "I'm not interested in the power of the ancient shinobi, but I am interested in themselves."
"Consider it as me training one of Orochimaru's subordinates. I'll pay the tuition for you to learn." While speaking, Natsuo offered a reward of 500 million Ryo.
Yakushi Kabuto fell into a slight silence.
Although Konoha's attention was quickly focused on the major invading shinobi villages, but as one of the triggers of the Great Shinobi World War, Tsunade never gave up her pursuit of Orochimaru.
As his teammate who understood him the most, Tsunade directly hit Orochimaru's Achilles' heel: money!
According to Yakushi Kabuto's knowledge, Orochimaru was currently facing a severe shortage of research funds.
If Natsuo demanded the Impure World Reincarnation for his own study... Orochimaru-sama might actually agree.
"Just Natsuo-sama, what do you want to do with Impure World Reincarnation?" Yakushi Kabuto reminded: "Impure World Reincarnation requires part of the DNA of the person who wants to be reincarnated in order to perform the summoning."
"If you want to summon the Second Hokage to help you with your research, Orochimaru-sama will not give up that part of the DNA."
The Second Hokage is a great force. Orochimaru will not give away this trump card.
"I'm not interested in the Second Hokage." Natsuo looked at Yakushi Kabuto and said: "The Impure World Reincarnation can control people summoned in battle, but it cannot control people to conduct research."
"Then what is the reason why I need to learn that technique?" Yakushi Kabuto asked curiously.
Natsuo calmly stated his plan.
Yakushi Kabuto widened his eyes. 'Damn! Can you play like this? Is this Uchiha extremism? So crazy....'
Then Yakushi Kabuto contacted Orochimaru. And Orochimaru was very interested in that plan, but he still tried to negotiate.
Natsuo didn't care much either. Money is not a problem, but if he really dares to trick him, he can't blame Natsuo if he goes to his snake pit on a whim.
In the end, both sides completed the transaction.
At the end of the transaction Yakushi Kabuto was called by Orochimaru. Before leaving, Natsuo also asked Yakushi Kabuto to ask Orochimaru if he is willing to develop technology that can make kunoichi stronger. The price is not a problem.
After all, the 'Revival No. 2' project that Yakushi Kabuto is responsible for has not made any breakthrough, so now Natsuo's handcuffs can only be strengthened through the Renshu no Kankei.
Yakushi Kabuto had a strange expression as he thought: 'Not only me, even Orochimaru-sama is going to be treated as your worker?'
...
The Kumogakure delegation quickly completed peace talks with Konoha.
They paid a high price and finally redeemed the Eight-Tails and the Fourth Raikage A.
When they saw Raikage A, they burst into tears on the spot.
Additionally before the Eight-Tails were rescued, Natsuo had cut off one of its tails, leaving it sealed for future use.
Now the combination AB is incomplete!
This is an unprecedented defeat for Kumogakure.
But the people of Konoha did not feel pity, instead, they all had a look of satisfaction: "Damn Kumo Shinobi, they finally got what they deserved!"
Among the four great shinobi villages, the one that has been most hostile towards Konoha has been Kumogakure.
They even dare to lay hands on the Hyuga clan, let alone other shinobi clans.
...
While Tsunade organized troops to monitor Kumogakure, she also sent Jiraiya to support the battlefield against Iwagakure...
Jiraiya is like a Konoha brick, ready to be placed in any wall of trouble.
Natsuo respects this. The reason why he can stay honestly in the Uchiha compound and work hard for the revival of the Uchiha clan is all because Jiraiya is carrying the burden for him.
Natsuo raises his glass from afar while pondering. 'Wait Jiraiya. When you return victoriously, I will definitely give you a Uchiha Club Gold Card as a gift, so you can play without worries!'
'This is my respect for you!' After saying that sentence in his mind, Natsuo poured out the alcohol, letting it seep into the ground.
There is no other choice, he still has to work hard tonight to revive the Uchiha clan. He can't drink alcohol, or it will reduce his efficiency. After that, he turned and entered the room.
But it didn't take long before he came out again. Natsuo frowned, looking dissatisfied.
He casually leaned against a pillar inside the Uchiha clan residence. His eyes revealing the pattern of the Mangekyo Sharingan, emitting a faint sense of oppression, as she silently observed the man in front of him.
The man in front of him was wearing the uniform of Akatsuki, clearly young in terms of life force, but his face looked mature, as if his body had been crushed by the weight of life.
He gave off an extremely cold aura, like a cold and merciless killing weapon.
He silently passed through Konoha's protective barrier without attracting anyone's attention. He then arrived in front of Natsuo without anyone noticing him on his way.
In the dark night, the moon was partially covered, and he was shrouded in darkness, as if he and Natsuo, who was in the moonlight, were people from two different worlds.
"We meet again, Natsuo." He spoke in a low voice.
"It's a shame Sasuke went to the front. If he knew you were back again, he'd probably regret his choice. After all, you left quickly last time." Natsuo said as he sighed.
The incoming person is none other than Uchiha Itachi.
"Sasuke..." Uchiha Itachi sighed lightly. "Sasuke's situation is not important. What is important is you, Natsuo."
"Those eyes... although I have hesitated to believe it, you have in fact awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan." Itachi said, looking at the Mangekyo Sharingan symbol in Natsuo's pupils, with a complex expression.
"Did he wake up when I exterminated the clan?" His voice was low, full of complexity and guilt.
"No, it has nothing to do with you." Natsuo shook his head.
"I see..." Uchiha Itachi fell silent for a moment, his expression gloomy. Clearly, he didn't believe Natsuo's words.
"You've come to me now because you regret your choices back then." Natsuo glanced at Itachi. "Your current expression doesn't resemble that of a cold-blooded clan annihilator."
"Maybe." Uchiha Itachi sighed lightly. "But I no longer have the possibility of turning back."
In the Uchiha clan there may be normal people, but all those who have awakened the Sharingan are extremists!
Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, seemingly the gentlest members of the Uchiha clan. But in reality, this kind of thinking that would rather sacrifice the entire clan to protect the village is itself proof of obsession.
"In the end, I am also the purest Uchiha." Itachi sighed softly.
The purest Uchiha, even if they realize they are wrong, they will not turn back. Or perhaps they will tell themselves that it is already too late to turn back, and it is better to continue on a single-minded path.
Uchiha Itachi's expression was complicated, but his eyes blinked and quickly regained composure.
"Shall we, have you already known the reason why I annihilated the clan back then?" Itachi asked.
"The Third Hokage and Danzo. I have already avenged the Uchiha clan." Natsuo answered casually.
"You really understand... Among the members of the Uchiha clan, your eyes see the clearest." Itachi sighed softly, paused, and continued. "Do you have any resentment towards me?"
"With your strength, I should not be your opponent."
"I don't know if you hold any resentment towards the village, but if my death alone can dissipate your grudge..."
"I can let you kill me."
This is the main reason why Uchiha Itachi came here. Natsuo obviously knows too much.
In the past, Itachi didn't care about Natsuo, as long as he didn't tell Sasuke about the annihilation of the clan, he didn't care if Natsuo knew the truth about the annihilation of the Uchiha clan. But now it's different!
As the strongest in the shinobi world, what would Natsuo do if he knew the role the village played during the Uchiha clan genocide? Would he hold a grudge against the village and attack Konoha like Uchiha Madara did?
If sacrificing his own life could solve this problem, Itachi would definitely not hesitate.
Even if he now regrets his past actions, he still recognizes his identity as Konoha's Shinobi...
Uchiha Itachi actually wanted to arrive earlier, but since his previous encounter with Natsuo, Kisame had started to behave strangely and was much more alert than before.
