Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 285 Little Nan, Drunk

"From the Warring States period onwards, the hatred between families accumulated continuously with each battle."

"Later, the First Hokage of Konoha, Hashirama Senju, joined forces with Madara Uchiha to create the first ninja village system. The emergence of the ninja village system led the whole world to follow suit, because without change, simply relying on a clan to fight against an entire village would only lead to death."

"However, after the death of absolute power, the First Shinobi World War quickly broke out. Unlike the Warring States period, the struggle between shinobi villages had become a truly large-scale war."

As Vortex Sora finished speaking.

The Yuan Master opposite him pondered for a moment before slightly raising his head: "So... your goal... is peace?"

He shrugged and said, "Isn't that incredible?"

Master Yuan shook his head and replied, "Those who lived through our era may no longer believe in peace, but their yearning for it is undeniable."

"But... from ancient times to the present, the struggle between human beings has never stopped. The five great ninja villages became wars because of their expansion. Hatred accumulated as a result, and resentment filled the hearts of everyone."

Uzumaki Sora smiled and replied, "Hatred... What if I said I wanted to take all the hatred upon myself? What do you think?"

???

This statement startled Master Yuan.

After a long pause, he replied, "If the ability to resurrect has no limitations... your goal is to become a sharp blade hanging over the entire ninja world. To fight against you, everyone must unite..."

After a pause, Master Yuan raised his head slightly: "In such a confrontation, bloodshed is inevitable. The ninja world has repeatedly attacked Akatsuki and you, Uzumaki Sora. War is inevitable, and casualties are unavoidable."

At this point, Master Yuan sighed: "In your understanding, is hatred the only ultimate obstacle to peace?"

Uzumaki Sora shook his head slightly: "No. Hatred is caused by war, and war originates from human desires, or rather, from a lack of resources."

"The Five Great Ninja Villages serve as the military forces of the Five Great Nations, with the Daimyo and Kage forming two distinct entities. Under this system, power ultimately serves the purpose of competing for resources."

"As beneficiaries of this system, they will not change, nor do they want to change."

they?

Master Yuan said in a deep voice, "What you want to change is not just the ninja world, but the world itself. You want to break the rules that have been in place for thousands of years, but ninjas are not always suitable as administrators."

Whirlpool shrugged: "But the situation isn't much better now, is it? They don't experience hunger or poverty in their lives, so they don't want to change."

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent for a moment.

After a long silence, Master Yuan asked in a deep voice, "How can we change this?"

Whirlpool Kong pointed at the other person, then at himself.

"This world, which possesses supernatural powers, namely chakra, should not use these powers solely for war."

"When overall resources are insufficient, no one wants to endure poverty and hunger. So, by increasing resources to a certain level, coupled with the threat of violence overhead, peace can be maintained."

As he pondered the concept of Vortex Void, Master Yuan frowned deeply.

From the Warring States period to the present day, it seems that no one has ever mentioned such a concept.

Unlike some kind of Infinite Tsukuyomi, which is just a collective dream of the whole world, this plan has some basis in fact and is theoretically plausible.

and many more!

theory?

Because he had thought of something, Yuan Shi suddenly looked up at the vortex sky.

After a long while, his gaze fell on the still unconscious Quan Bingwei: "He didn't hear these words, which is his only way out. It seems... you really are only targeting the militant faction."

Uzumaki Sora smiled and asked, "So, as an elder who has lived through so much time, do you believe that ultimate peace can be achieved?"

Master Yuan sighed: "I don't know either. I've lived for decades in vain, but I've always kept my thoughts on the continuation of the Hidden Mist Sect."

"Uzumaki Sora, you have made all the preparations and your belief is firm. No one can stop you, and no one can stop the coming of the great trend."

"Knowing that Mist Village will not be destroyed is already the best gift I could give to those old folks in the Pure Land."

Vortex Sky bowed slightly.

"May you rest in peace."

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Yuan lowered his head, his breathing and heartbeat gradually stopping.

With this, the cleanup plan for Mist Hidden has been completed.

Konan, standing behind him, was somewhat puzzled: "If this person can agree with our ideals, then given his position in Kirigakure, wouldn't he play a significant role in our subsequent progress?"

Uzumaki Sora turned to look at Konan, smiled, and replied, "Did he approve? Only a dying person will approve; if he's alive, he won't. Understand?"

Xiao Nan paused, frowning as she pondered Uzumaki Sora's words.

However, she only realized what was happening when Uzumaki Sora put his hand on her shoulder and left Kirigakure using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

……

In the land of hot springs, in a certain market town.

Only the Flying Thunder God Technique can make it so easy to leave in an instant from the Hidden Mist.

Because she was unprepared, Xiao Nan was also somewhat dazed at this moment.

After calming down for a while, Konan asked, "He only approved of this attempt because of death, but if he hadn't died, he would still have rejected this idea based on Kirigakure's perspective, right?"

Uzumaki Sora nodded: "Of course, if this concept ultimately leads to Kirigakure as the strongest, then it will be different."

Xiao Nan pondered for a moment, still lost in thought.

Uzumaki Sora continued, "They are both among the Five Great Ninja Villages, but the center of this world is Konoha. The will of the world is also in Konoha."

"To live to old age is to be a thief. In the end, I just wanted to see if someone who has lived through the Warring States period to the present day would find the theory of planning useful."

He also knew that he was doomed to die.

The operation against Kirigakure came to an end, and Konan only then realized that there seemed to be no gathering place.

"Where are we? Shouldn't we go back first?"

Uzumaki Sora stretched and replied, "Even saving the world requires relaxation and rest. If it's not for a better life, then all this effort is meaningless."

As he spoke, Uzumaki Sora pointed to the exit of the alley: "That's the town's commercial street. The night market is quite lively. Grab something to eat, then soak in the hot springs, have some drinks... Awesome!"

Cool?

The new vocabulary and the abrupt changes in behavior left Xiao Nan somewhat bewildered.

They had just assassinated high-ranking officials in Kirigakure, one of the five great ninja villages, and their conversations revolved around the world's philosophy.

But after only a short while, it was time to relax...

"Don't just stand there, let's go."

He waved and the one walking in front, Vortex, headed out of the alley.

……

At the barbecue restaurant, Sora Uzumaki wrapped the grilled meat in lettuce and handed it to Konan.

Xiao Nan on the other side was still a little confused after receiving it.

Sora then wrapped one for herself, ate it in two bites, and looked at Konan, asking, "Why aren't you eating? Do you prefer sashimi or something? I'm not used to that. I just like to eat grilled meat and drink some alcohol."

Xiao Nan shook her head slightly, then slowly ate the roasted meat in her hand.

"It's just that I'm not used to it. It's been a long time since I've eaten in a private room at a barbecue restaurant like this."

Uzumaki Sora thought for a moment and replied, "A long time ago? Could it be when Yahiko was still alive? I'm afraid that was the only time the previous Akatsuki's operation succeeded, and he would probably take you guys to celebrate."

"After all, Nagato, being a straight man with a steely personality, coupled with Yahiko's death and his injuries, could only go crazy in the dark room all day long."

Konan smiled helplessly: "Nagato no longer considers himself a god, and he has a new understanding of himself. Actually... you don't need to tease him like this every time."

Across from him, Sora raised his glass in a gesture of respect, and Konan, after a moment's thought, also raised hers.

After a light clink of glasses, he downed his drink in one gulp, then smacked his lips and said, "This stuff is only so-so. Nagato, he's not as clear-headed as you."

It seemed like she hadn't drunk alcohol for many years; after just one glass, Xiao Nan's face was already flushed.

"Actually... Nagato's actions stemmed from his hatred of this world, coupled with the power of his Rinnegan..."

Sora nodded: "So... you've been following his will because of guilt. Even knowing it's wrong, you'll still keep going under those circumstances."

After she finished speaking, Xiao Nan fell silent for a moment.

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "You...can you really see the future?"

Upon hearing this, Uzumaki Sora put down the tongs and wiped his mouth, saying, "The future is not static. I don't know where the futures I've already changed will lead."

At this point, Uzumaki Sora chuckled mischievously: "So... do you want to know your and Nagato's original future?"

Konan shook her head slightly: "I could have guessed it. If the six hundred billion explosive tags have no effect, then Nagato and I will probably end up being harvested by Obito. I had anticipated this."

Uzumaki Sora nodded: "Indeed. As Madara's representative left in the world, it was inevitable that he would take back the Rinnegan when the apparent leader stopped acting according to plan."

Having received the answer she already suspected, Xiao Nan poured herself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

After a couple of drinks, Xiao Nan, whose face was already flushed, relaxed a bit.

After eating and drinking, it was already late at night.

For the three members of the Frog Squad, the happiest time was the two years that Jiraiya taught them.

After that, while Yahiko was still alive, they came to such places once or twice to drink and eat barbecue.

For Xiao Nan, it was a very long time ago that she had been able to relax.

Every time she faced Nagato's disabled legs, it was a torment of guilt for her.

"Bang."

The sound of a forehead hitting the table rang out. Kong scratched his head and looked at the person opposite him: "You're already drunk? With your alcohol tolerance, you're a perfect candidate for picking up a drunk person."

Seeing that there was no more movement from the other side, Kong had no choice but to call the owner to settle the bill.

The barbecue restaurant owner, rubbing his hands together, took the money, glanced at Uzumaki Sora carrying Konan on her back, and chuckled, "Um... would the customer like a room? A king-size bed, please!"

Two black lines appeared on Kong's forehead: "No! Do I look like that kind of person?"

The barbecue restaurant owner squinted, a lewd look on his face: "Customers will easily catch a cold going out like this, it's for their health..."

Ignoring the guy, Uzumaki Sora carried Konan out.

How could a place like this have hot springs when you can eat, drink, and relax in a warm bath?

……

Hot spring residence.

After throwing Xiao Nan onto the bed, he casually covered her with a blanket.

Whirlpool stretched and yawned: "Luckily, you're a decent drinker, you didn't throw up all over me."

As if hearing a noise, Xiao Nan, who was lying on the bed, slightly opened her tightly closed eyes, but she couldn't focus.

"Alright. I'm going to take a bath for a while, you should go to bed early."

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a tear slid down Xiao Nan's cheek.

"Yahiko..."

The whispered voice made Uzumaki Sora feel a little depressed. The initial design of this body was only for Nagato's Rinnegan.

In retrospect, this has become one of the triggers for Xiao Nan.

After thinking for a moment, he reached out and pulled the blanket over her more: "I'm not Yahiko. Go to sleep. I won't ask you to drink next time."

……

Soaking in the comfortable open-air hot spring, Sora Uzumaki felt incredibly relaxed looking at the starry sky above.

But when his gaze fell on the moon to the side, he frowned again.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, and the descendants of Hamura.

In addition...

It seems that regardless of whether Boruto truly exists in this world, Kaguya Otsutsuki's origins remain a source of deep concern.

According to the original story I remember, from the old man Hagoromo's memories, we know that Kaguya Otsutsuki created a large number of White Zetsu using the Divine Tree in order to guard against future enemies.

This point doesn't come from Boruto, but from Naruto.

So...

Regardless of whether there are non-flammable materials or not, the enemy that Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was guarding against will likely appear decades from now.

By then, neither the Rinnegan nor the Tenseigan will have overwhelming power.

"call……"

After exhaling, Uzumaki thought of the two original protagonists of Konoha.

The issue of changeability may also lie in this.

If the powers of these two main characters are enhanced, following their original trajectory and amplified again, then whether Boruto or Atsuto is born, they might become another new force.

The combination of Saiyans and Earthlings makes it easier to become a Super Saiyan; the combination of Otsutsuki bloodline and native bloodline; the combination of chakra and natural energy...

With his hands behind his head, Sora Uzumaki gazed at the moon overhead, lost in thought.

In that case, shouldn't Sakura also make some arrangements for Sasuke?

Shaking his head, Xuan Youkong cleared away his distracting thoughts.

It's too early to consider these things at this point. Obito and Black Zetsu have defected from Akatsuki, and neither of them is easy to deal with.

According to intelligence from the main body, Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, has been kidnapped. Those two have also begun their plan to create a Ten-Tailed Jinchuriki.

The Rinnegan hasn't developed yet...

Otherwise, if we deal with Black Zetsu first, Obito won't be a problem.
