Naruto: Naruto started the Fourth Shinobi World War for me

The girls sat at home, feeling both excited and nervous. Becoming a ninja was considered a coming-of-age ceremony for the children of the ninja village.

Naruko was in a bad mood as she held her headband, because after graduation, she could no longer go home after school and would have to start carrying out missions as a ninja.

As you grow up, you can no longer be as carefree as you used to be, which is why Mingyi works hard to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.

She wanted to be able to go home immediately after completing each task.

Home is only where her brother Ningxia is.

"Shouldn't you disappear too?"

Naruko murmured softly, with Kushina standing beside her.

Before Minato's chakra left, he instructed Naruko to awaken Kushina's chakra upon graduation so that she could see the grown-up Naruko.

"Naruko..."

Kushina was very reluctant to part with Naruto, even though she had long been prepared for the treatment of Jinchuriki when she learned about Naruto's experience.

But... Naruko had a very tough childhood. At that time, she still had Tsunade and others to take care of her.

The Third Hokage had limited time to care for Naruto and failed to keep his promise to Minato, which is what angered Kushina and Minato.

As a mother, Kushina felt heartbroken and guilty. She should have stayed by Naruko's side and watched her grow from a toddler to a beautiful young woman.

But in the end, Naruko's attitude towards her was unfamiliar. From birth until now, they had never spent more than a day with Naruko.

Those who give birth but do not raise their children do not deserve Naruko's respect.

"Naruko..."

Kushina gently hugged Naruko, already sobbing uncontrollably. She couldn't utter any grand pronouncements, only repeating her expectations and worries for Naruko.

Hearing Kushina's heartfelt concern, Naruko finally softened and whispered as Kushina was about to disappear, "Goodbye, Mom..."

Hearing the name she had longed for, Kushina paused for a moment, then smiled and softly responded as her body dissipated.

"Dinner's ready, Naruko! Can you come help me out?"

Ningxia's voice came from the kitchen. Mingzi immediately composed herself, responded, and went to the kitchen to help Ningxia.

Don't worry, Kushina, I'm doing very well and I'm happy. You and the Fourth Hokage don't need to worry.

Thinking this, Naruko silently prayed in her heart, "Let it continue like this, until I turn eighteen."

At this moment, in the Land of Rain, Black Zetsu peered out at the masked man, his words filled with anxiety and unease.

"Ban, I have a bad feeling."

"Another shell structure?"

The masked man was already used to this ever since the Shell organization was exposed.

Black Zetsu is like Hakimi on high alert; she's stopped hunting tailed beasts and is constantly on guard against the Kara organization, which is making her increasingly irritable.

"No, it's not just that old guy from the Shell organization, but also... Mom's people are probably coming."

As an extension of Kaguya's will, Black Zetsu possesses a certain level of perception towards the Otsutsuki. Now, Black Zetsu is absolutely certain that those guys are coming.

The thought of his mother being sealed away again and the Otsutsuki returning filled Black Zetsu with utter despair.

"Your mother's people?"

The masked woman was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that Kaguya would have other members of her clan. Clearly, Black Zetsu was hiding something from her.

"..."

Black Zetsu realized he had let something slip, but given the current situation, there seemed to be no point in hiding it anymore, so he had no choice but to openly admit the existence of the Otsutsuki.

"Madara, no... You must understand, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken. Hurry, we must get Nagato and the others to make a response. We absolutely cannot let the Otsutsuki... plant trees."

Black Zetsu almost called out the masked man's real name, but stopped himself under the threat of the man's gaze.

"I see……"

The masked man reluctantly got up and headed to the Akatsuki headquarters to inform Nagato and Yahiko about the extraterrestrial visitors.

The Akatsuki is a ninja charity organization based in the Land of Rain, funded by Ouroboros, and dedicated to saving children suffering from war.

The Akatsuki's official leader was Yahiko, a disciple of Jiraiya.

When Yahiko saw the masked man appear, he became somewhat wary. This man, who called himself Uchiha Madara, had tried to trick Nagato into collecting the Tailed Beasts more than once, but Nagato had stopped him each time.

Furthermore, three years ago, Danzo gave her a letter apologizing to Yahiko and the Akatsuki organization, explaining that it was because of him that Yahiko was on the verge of death.

The letter was sincere and filled with remorse, and stated that if Yahiko wanted to take his life, he should give him some time.

Once the Sixth Hokage takes office, he will come to Yahiko's door and be at his disposal.

Danzo is now very clear about his position: a pivotal figure who bridges the past and the future. It is not the old man who changes the times; he is simply waiting for a Hokage who can shoulder the responsibility.

Once everything has settled down, he will voluntarily step down and then use his life to ease tensions with the Akatsuki organization.

After all, the Akatsuki organization has the Rinnegan. When they fight against Iwagakure or Sunagakure, it's about matters of principle, and they can mobilize the villages.

But he was responsible for the Akatsuki organization, and he wouldn't allow the village to be endangered because of his past mistakes.

Based on the information from Danzo's side, Yahiko already knew very well that Danzo, Hanzo, and the masked man were involved in that accident.

First, he orchestrated his own death, then he made Nagato awaken the Rinnegan, and then he collected the Tailed Beasts. Was all of this the work of the masked man?

Yahiko closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Even if he didn't know if the other party was the real Uchiha Madara, he was sure that the other party had ulterior motives towards Nagato.

She couldn't possibly let the other party have their way. Rather, if she hadn't been unable to hit the other party, she and Nagato would have already used Shinra Tensei to make the masked man fly.

"Send the message to the five great nations, saying that the Otsutsuki clan will seize the tailed beasts from each village, and that they should be careful."

The masked woman was very annoyed. She had successfully captured the tailed beasts last time, but because of the First Hokage, she could no longer easily collect all nine tailed beasts.

Not only that, aliens have inexplicably appeared! Are you kidding me?!

Feeling the blood and tears flowing from his other eye, the masked man skillfully used his divine power to wipe them away.

You've been crying for so long, haven't your tears dried yet? Even Kamui can't hide your tears anymore.

Thanks to the Akatsuki organization's propaganda, all five great ninja villages knew that someone was trying to steal the Tailed Beasts, but most people didn't believe the information.

What?! Someone's trying to steal a Tailed Beast? And it's someone from the same clan as the Sage of Six Paths? Even Jiraiya wouldn't dare make something like this up!

However, their laughter soon ceased, because the Three-Tails Jinchuriki of Kirigakure, the Fourth Mizukage, ascended to heaven.

Although this Mizukage was extremely cruel, and there had long been people who wanted to rebel against him.

But these were real Kage-level powerhouses and Jinchūriki, and they were killed without anyone noticing, and even the Three-Tails was extracted.

In an instant, the entire ninja world was gripped by fear.
