Chapter 146 Obito Uchiha is Fully Responsible

"Excellent! Tiezhu!"

Naruto looked pleased and patted Tetsuya's shoulder hard. "This story is great. Let's stick with it. Get ready to let the whole ninja world know about the tragic love story of the progenitor of chakra!"

"When will it be available at the earliest?" Naruto asked again.

"Boss, add some background information, flesh out the characters and plot, and carefully refine the love tug-of-war. It will take at least one or two months!"

At this moment, Naruto lightly tapped the table with his fingers. Not bad.
As the big boss, Naruto doesn't need to know the "casualty figures," he only needs the results of the battle.

but,

Naruto gave an important instruction regarding this book: include some personal opinions!
For example, things like "Daimyo" (大名), which will eventually be swept into the dustbin of history, must be addressed!
A little smear campaign, like "wasting money and manpower," "greedy," and "selling out the country for personal gain."

No, how can that be considered defamation?
It's just stating what they did.

"understand!"

Minazuki Tetsuju understood immediately, indicating that this was not a problem at all.

Naruto nodded in satisfaction.
But then, a pang of regret swept over him.

Gee.
such a pity!
Given such a perfect opportunity with favorable timing, location, and a media frenzy, why not take the chance to criticize Uchiha Obito?

After all, that bastard wasn't even born a thousand years ago!

"Iron Pillar,"

Naruto, unwilling to give up, called on him again, his eyes sharp as knives, "Tell me... is there any way to pin the blame on Obito Uchiha?"

His eyes held a probing look, not a hint of a joke.

Meeting the seemingly genuine look in his boss's eyes, Mizuki Tetsuju felt sorry for Uchiha Obito.

Obito Uchiha, Obito Uchiha,
Why did you have to mess with our boss?

The boss holds grudges!

Despite his complaints, Tie Zhu's brain was still working at lightning speed.

A moment later, he cautiously threw out a terrible idea that seemed to have a "groundbreaking" twist: "How about... we arrange for Obito Uchiha to be the reincarnation of an 'Otsutsuki Inspector' or something?"

"Pfft!"

Naruto almost burst out laughing. "Tetsuju, you're a fucking genius!"

Who is the Otsutsuki Inspector?
The culprit who broke up Kaguya and Hagoromo, this cosmic couple!
The biggest villain among villains!

In other words, he's even more like Fahai than Fahai himself!

It wasn't until later, with all sorts of drastically modified versions of Fahai!

Instead, it's the kind of original version that makes all viewers, regardless of gender, age, or profession, grit their teeth and experience a surge in blood pressure after watching it!

This time,

From eighty-year-old women to young wives/aunties, and even newly graduated ninjas like Sakura.

They probably all hate Obito Uchiha to death!
Before, it was just a bounty hunter who wanted Obito dead, but now he's the number one enemy of the whole world!
"But isn't this a bit too far-fetched?!"

Fatalism? Reincarnation? Isn't that a bit too old-fashioned?

Does anyone still believe this stuff?
But Tie Zhu looked completely certain.

"Boss? Nonsense? Absolutely not!"

People in this world haven't even reached the stage of materialism yet!
Even on Earth, outside of China, in those "beacons of civilization" and "old Europe," don't various religions and mysticisms still flourish? The number of believers is enormous!

Seeing Tiezhu's confident "I have the truth" look, Naruto pursed his lips and reluctantly believed him.

"and,"

A smile appeared on Tie Zhu's beautiful face. "This also explains why Utopia quickly disintegrated after Yu Yi's death, and then plunged into a bloody war that lasted for a thousand years!"

"There has to be a culprit, right?" he hinted.

Naruto's eyes suddenly lit up!
"That's right! It must have been Obito Uchiha's past life who did it!"

This black pot, spanning a thousand years, is sealed shut perfectly!
"That's right, boss. I'll go back and optimize this a bit more. I guarantee I'll give Uchiha Obito a good dressing down."

After speaking, he leaned slightly closer, his stunningly beautiful face drawing nearer, and lowered his voice, carrying a hint of barely perceptible probing.

"Boss, now that reincarnation has occurred, how about we arrange one for you too?"

"Oh? How should it be arranged?"

"For example, arranging for someone like Hagoromo Otsutsuki to be a reincarnation or something?"

Upon hearing this, Naruto's body stiffened almost imperceptibly!
Good guy!
I just finished talking about fatalism, and now they've already set me up for this?
Iron Pillar, however, seemed oblivious to Naruto's subtle expressions and continued to tirelessly persuade him.

"Boss, think about it. In the ninja world, the title of 'Sage of Six Paths' is a golden brand!"
If you confirm this 'reincarnation' identity, your prestige and influence will skyrocket! It could even be a huge help to unification!

Naruto instantly understood the key to Tie Zhu's suggestion.

Indeed, after reading about the beautiful ideal world in the story, the next step is naturally to want to visit that ideal world.

But one cannot travel back a thousand years.

that,
Everyone had no choice but to place their hopes on Naruto Uzumaki, the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths who had once realized his ideal world.

It can be said that the identity of being the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths can greatly reduce the difficulty of unifying the country in the future.

However, Naruto was completely uninterested in this thing.

He's not the second Sage of Six Paths, but the first Naruto Uzumaki!
Reincarnation is possible, but unnecessary!

However, a playful smile appeared on Naruto's lips.

If you insist on forcing your way in, then I, Naruto, will have no choice but to follow the three principles of a scumbag.

"Look at the arrangements."

Naruto raised his eyelids and calmly swept his gaze over Tiezhu, who immediately understood.

"Understood, boss!"

The two looked at each other and said nothing.

At this moment, Naruto relived the entire story once more.

A poignant love story, a blueprint for an ideal world, and a revenge that has lasted for a thousand years—it's packed with all the elements!

but,
"Iron Pillar,"

Naruto's voice was calm and resolute, "You must remember this deeply: the ultimate core of this book is not love! Not revenge! Not even entirely an ideal world!"
Rather—unification! This key point cannot be forgotten!
He made this bowl of dumplings just for this dish of vinegar.

"Don't worry, boss!" Shui Wuyue Tiezhu's expression turned serious, and he straightened his back. "Our core principles will never waver!"

He stated: "We will absolutely oversee the quality control, the final version will be reviewed by Naruto himself, and any dissatisfaction can be rejected!"

Naruto nodded slightly, but his gaze involuntarily drifted out the window.

The sky was still hazy, and his gaze pierced through the sparse branches and leaves, landing on the bright moon hanging in the sky.

It's a good story.

Love exists, ideals exist, conspiracies exist.
But I always feel like something's missing!
Love may not move everyone.

What's missing?

Gazing intently at the clear moon, Naruto suddenly realized something.

We know what's missing: a climax!
"What do you think about giving this moon another identity?" Naruto abruptly turned his gaze to Tetsuya, his voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of excitement.

"Identity? You mean?"

Tie Zhu was momentarily stunned and couldn't keep up with this leap in thought.

"You know the Rinnegan has a technique, right? Planetary Devastation!"

Seeing Tiezhu nod at his prompting, Naruto pointed directly to the bright moon above.

"If we were to declare: the bright moon overhead has illuminated the ninja world for a thousand years,

It was formed when the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, used his supreme power to unleash the "Planetary Devastation" technique, sealing his beloved Kaguya along with her out-of-control, world-destroying power for eternity!
How about it? Is it sensational enough for publicity?

hiss--! ! !
Minazuki Tetsuya gasped in shock!
Those beautiful phoenix eyes widened to their limit in an instant, and their pupils contracted violently!
For several seconds,

He barely managed to come to his senses, and looked at Naruto with eyes full of shock and admiration: "Boss, you're amazing! You've got such a bold idea!"

"This is more than just a publicity stunt! Mythology, history, reality, and the power of ninjutsu are perfectly fused together – this is the ultimate bombshell!"

"When that familiar bright moon in the night sky was suddenly given such a tragic and romantic legend!"

Ninjas are intrigued by the power of forbidden techniques! Commoners are awestruck by the reality of mythology! Everyone will go crazy for it!

“Once this book is released,” he said with certainty, “it will absolutely ignite the entire ninja world! It will set off an unprecedented frenzy!”

Faced with Tie Zhu's almost fanatical praise, Naruto simply smiled calmly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

It's just a moon, is it really that hard to explode into a celestial body?

Sprinkle some water~
This kid Tiezhu clearly knows nothing about Naruto Uzumaki's, or "himself's", true strength!

This is because he was separated from the group too early.

Back in the Land of Waves, I was just a newbie who had just left the beginner village. Everything was new and exciting to me, and I had no idea about my own destructive power.

Tie Zhu perfectly inherited this "naivety".
In addition, he has been so busy working on media these past few months that he has never updated his information or that of his other clones. His understanding of his own strength has remained at the level he had when he first left the beginner village!

Simply put: He only knows he is strong, but he doesn't know just how strong!
Make up a lesson?

Oh well, he doesn't need to go to the front lines to kill people anyway.

Knowing too much actually prevents him from focusing on manipulating public opinion.

All you need to do is know that you are invincible!

"Ahem, there's something I need to remind you of." Naruto cleared his throat, getting back to the point.

"You say!"

"Pay attention to the author's identity," Naruto pointed out, raising an eyebrow. Since they were both on his side, he felt there was no need to be too explicit.

"I understand, boss!" Tie Zhu instantly understood.

Since this is a fabricated history, the author of this book cannot be associated with the Ninja World Media Group.

Although the probability is very low, if either of these two protagonists appears, the problem will be huge.

Therefore, I shouldn't get too involved with this author; at best, he's an intern.

Ideally, the author should be an independent third party.

Easy to cut anytime!

As for the name, let's call him "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng".

That sounds mysterious! So cultured!
It also carries a hint of... well, a hint of worldliness?
If the lie is exposed in the future

That's all fabricated by this guy named Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng. It has absolutely nothing to do with our pure, fair, and objective Ninja World Daily!

We're at best a reposting platform that was 'accidentally misled'!

Apologize?

We are victims too!

Furthermore, the artifacts from the Shang and Zhou dynasties—no, from last week—should be unearthed!
Images such as clay tablets depicting extraterrestrial visitors and Kaguya saving the world.
cough cough.

While both were done by a third-party archaeological team, the Ninja World Daily was merely responsible for reporting the news.

Absolutely no relation whatsoever!

Having dealt with this 'minor matter,' Naruto considered his inspection complete.

The remaining main clones are either unemployed wandering around, or their bases are in Konoha where there's nothing worth seeing.

The next period is vacation time!
The Land of Hot Springs is a famous leisure and tourism destination in the ninja world!

I heard there's a mixed-gender bathing area here!
Naruto immediately abandoned the iron pillar and went to soak in the hot spring by himself.

unfortunately,

I spent the whole day there and didn't see a single beautiful woman.

A resort destination?

Pooh!
There aren't even as many beautiful women as in Konoha!

After a night's rest, Naruto prepared to go home and face off against Hiruzen Sarutobi.

This time, Naruto was full of confidence.

We won't meet his demands?
Hehe, I'm going to play by myself!
