The world I hear is completely different from yours.

With just a shout from that enormous beast, a hurricane swept through the huge cell, lifting Naruto, who had fallen to the ground, up and slamming him against the wall beside him!

What was that thing just now?! Naruto, writhing in excruciating pain, struggled to lift his head, then stared in astonishment. In the raging winds of the prison cell, something remained completely still!

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Don't Buy Counterfeit or Inferior Toys

In the howling wind of that enormous prison cell, Naruto faintly heard the dark figure in the wind roar back at the Nine-Tails inside the iron cage without any politeness: "What are you yelling about? What's wrong with me glancing at you? Are you covered in durians or have corns on your feet that you won't even let me look at you?!"

Roar!! The only response it received was a furious roar from the Nine-Tailed Fox!

"Hmph! What a mindless beast! You dare call yourself the Nine-Tailed Fox?" the shadowy figure sneered. "Originally, I planned to lure this brat into opening the seal and letting you out. But it seems the seal on him was already broken once before, so even without his consent, I can forcibly break it now!"

The Nine-Tails responded with another furious roar, and in the midst of this roar, torrents of red liquid surged from the darkness of the iron cell door, turning the entire cell's watery surface into a bloody mess! Naruto stared blankly as the red blood under his feet kept seeping into his body, before fainting from the excruciating pain.

In the instant he fainted, Naruto vaguely heard Kakashi Hatake rushing into his room: "What's going on? Why is the Nine-Tails' seal starting to waver again? Now even the Nine-Tails' chakra is spreading outwards!!"

Faced with the unconscious Naruto, who exuded an ominous aura, Kakashi Hatake instinctively raised his hand, intending to remove the headband covering half his eye so he could see what was happening. However, the next moment, Kakashi turned around warily, looking at the two Konoha Anbu members who had suddenly rushed into the room.

"Senior, as expected, the Nine-Tails seal on Naruto has loosened again! We must use Wood Release: Sealing Technique to reinforce it!" Yamato shouted, as many wooden branches extended from his body, weaving into a net with many sealing barriers drawn on it, wrapping Naruto up and continuously reinforcing the Nine-Tails seal on him.

Kakashi, seeing Yamato unleash Wood Release, immediately relaxed his guard. After all, as a former squad leader of the Anbu, Kakashi and Yamato had some connection, so Kakashi wasn't unfamiliar with Yamato, the only Wood Release user in Konoha.

But who is that Anbu member next to Yamato? Kakashi Hatake looked at Tensei, who was wearing a Shinigami mask, with a hint of curiosity. After all, there weren't many people in the Anbu who could be called "senpai" by Yamato willingly.

Tianqing frowned, looking at Naruto who was enveloped in Wood Release, and said coldly, "Back in the village, Naruto's Nine-Tails seal had already been forcibly broken once, so even if the Nine-Tails was sealed back later, the sealing technique was not as strong as before! Therefore, now we only need to guide it slightly in Naruto's body to allow the Nine-Tails to break free from the seal again!"

"The question is, who exactly tampered with Naruto's body just now?" Tianqing looked around the room. She and Yamato had been monitoring the area around the inn, and they were certain that no suspicious person had left the room just now!

Then, Tianqing focused her attention on the windowsill, on the ripped nine-tailed fox doll that had appeared there the moment Naruto fainted, and then quickly looked away, wandering aimlessly around the room.

"By the way, where did this doll come from, Kakashi?" Tianqing casually walked around the room, reaching out to gently stroke the doll's head.

Kakashi Hatake, observing Ame's actions, replied in a low voice, "That doll seems to be the latest trendy toy, right? I don't know why these dolls always look like they're showing their internal organs, but I've heard they're very popular with kids. Naruto probably bought it when he went to the night market tonight."

"Oh, I see. I didn't expect Naruto to like toys so much..." Tianqing murmured to herself, but in that instant, she suddenly unleashed a powerful force in her hand and slammed it down hard on the head of the gutted nine-tailed fox doll!

*Smack!* Caught completely off guard by the sudden attack, the disemboweled nine-tailed fox doll was instantly crushed by Tian Qing. Its entire head exploded, revealing not cotton or any other stuffing, but a sea of ​​flesh and blood! The splattered blood even sprayed large plumes of blood onto the wall, accompanied by a piercing scream that was utterly inhuman!

As a time traveler, how could Tian Qing not recognize the organ doll series toys? It's just that she deliberately pretended not to recognize them in order to avoid attracting the doll's attention, so that she could get close to them and kill them when they were disguised as ordinary objects!

What's more, these organ dolls aren't actually real organ dolls at all! In her previous life, when Tian Qing was a civil servant, she had seen some righteous organ dolls owned by Kempf witches. Those dolls were all magical dolls filled with cotton wool, and it was impossible for them to be filled with flesh and blood!

As for those who fill the dolls with flesh and blood to control them, Tian Qing sneered inwardly. Now she finally understood why the world had become like this. The reason was simply because that group of madmen had also come to this world!

Then, Tianqing casually tossed aside the doll whose head had been crushed, shook the blood off his hands, and said to Kakashi and Yamato in their stunned gazes, "Naruto is in a very dangerous situation now, so we can't let this continue! You two keep watch over the surroundings for me. Now I'm going to add another seal to Naruto to completely resolve the problem of the Nine-Tails' seal weakening!"

In the original story, Jiraiya used a similar method, adding a Five Elements Seal to Naruto's Nine-Tails seal, thus completely resolving the issue of Nine-Tails chakra leakage within Naruto. As for the Five Elements Seal Technique, Tensei, who had previously become Hokage, was naturally familiar with it!

.....................................

Just as Ame-no-Tsuru crushed the head of the gutted nine-tailed fox doll, somewhere in the Land of Waves, the stall owner who sold Naruto dolls also collapsed to the ground, lifeless, almost at the same time.

............

P.S. This is the second update, albeit belatedly.

Chapter Forty: The Enemy Lurking in the Dark

The next day, Kakashi's team hurriedly left the Land of Waves and embarked on their journey back to Konoha. Moreover, considering the convenience of maintaining the seal nearby, Yamato simply abandoned the covert surveillance and joined Kakashi's team directly, wearing an Anbu mask.

Naruto Uzumaki, now fully conscious, didn't remember anything from the previous night. However, his keen senses alerted him to a subtle unease in the expressions of his teammates. While Kakashi Hatake's gaze towards Naruto was merely serious, Sakura's eyes held a hint of fear.

After all, everyone around had clearly seen Naruto radiating the Nine-Tails' chakra last night, and that malevolent tailed beast chakra had genuinely frightened the still-developing Sakura. Sasuke, on the other hand, remained completely unfazed, wearing an expression that said, "I've seen far more exciting scenes than this," and continued his usual basic chakra training with Naruto.

In this slightly awkward atmosphere, Naruto tried to make conversation: "Kakashi-sensei, why is there an Anbu member with us this time? Aren't Anbu members supposed to operate in groups of two or four? Why is there only one person this time?"

"As for this question," Kakashi stared at Yamato with dead fish eyes and said without hesitation, "because he was also on a mission to the Land of Waves. Now that the mission is completed, they're going back together on the way."

Wearing an Anbu mask, Yamato seamlessly continued Kakashi's line of thought: "As for why I'm alone, it's because my partner was too busy, so she had to go to another place to carry out a mission by herself."

.....................

At this moment, Tianqing was rushing towards the Land of Fields. According to the investigation last night, a certain city located in the Land of Fields was the origin of the production of these organ dolls. Although the stall owner who sold the dolls had been quickly silenced, Tianqing still planned to start from the source of this matter, so as to find out the uninvited guests who entered this world.

"Actually, I should have thought of this a long time ago! Ever since that unlucky evil god church spent a lot of time and sacrifices to summon the evil god, this Naruto world has been marked and has become the target of those madmen of the Truth Society!" Tenten gritted her teeth and said to herself, but there was also a hint of excitement in her heart.

However, although the arrival of those madmen may bring a lot of misfortune and death to the world, for Tianqing, who has been searching for clues about "it", the arrival of these madmen undoubtedly brings a lot of opportunities.

The Truth Society—that's the name of the organization those madmen belong to; it's an organization formed by believers who fanatically worship "it."

The sole objective of the Truth Society is to relentlessly invade all the worlds they discover in the void, thoroughly corrupting them and offering them as sacrifices. The fallen beings who emerge from those corrupted worlds then become new members of the Truth Society.

"I wonder how many of those lunatics from the Truth Society came this time? But judging from the fact that they didn't make a big show of themselves, but instead secretly scattered things like organ dolls and chakra lightsabers around this world, they should only have sent a few minor characters!" Tianqing thought to herself.

In her previous life, Tian Qing had heard of this organization called the Truth Society and their usual methods of invasion—because the Truth Society had once launched a large-scale invasion of Tian Qing's previous life's world, and even almost succeeded in invading it. However, under the combined efforts of many powerful figures in her previous life, they still suffered a humiliating defeat and fled.

However, because the Truth Society's intrusion methods were indeed very deceptive, they later even became a required question on civil service exams, so that civil servants could always remember this lesson and prevent future intrusions. And it was precisely because of this that Tian Qing had a very good understanding of the Truth Society's intrusion procedures.

First, since the members of the Truth Society are basically beings corrupted by "it," these members, as chaotic and fallen life forms, are inherently rejected by various worlds. Therefore, while normal people can travel to worlds smoothly, these members of the Truth Society find it very difficult to enter, and can only watch helplessly from outside the world, just like the legendary extraterrestrial demons.

Therefore, as the first step in the invasion, these Truth Society members would send all sorts of strange messages and powers to various worlds, influencing the people in those worlds to establish many cults that worship demons. Then, through long-term blood sacrifices, they would barely be able to open a passage to allow the weaker Truth Society members to enter.

This explains why the evil god Pikachu was able to descend upon the Naruto world. From that point on, this world fell into the sights of the Truth Society, becoming their next target for invasion.

Once a member of the Truth Society establishes a foothold in this world, they will then mass-produce a variety of bizarre and corrupting items—usually weapons or toys—and circulate them in the world's markets. These items can slowly influence people's minds, causing them to become mentally twisted, thus instigating large-scale bloody conflicts and slaughter in this world, and preparing for the Truth Society's next major invasion.

This is one of the reasons why the warriors of the Land of Waves who obtained lightsabers became so arrogant and prone to killing.

Once the world is engulfed in bloodshed, the true main force of the Truth Society can seize the opportunity to descend upon this world.

"Therefore, I must immediately go to the Land of Fields and destroy the sources that produce lightsabers and organ dolls. Otherwise, under the influence of these things, people all over the world will probably start killing each other and start a new world war!" Tian Qing thought to himself. "Once the bloodshed in this world accumulates to a certain level, those truly powerful elite members of the Truth Society can take the opportunity to descend upon this world!"

The invasion of these elite members of the Truth Society might have been repelled by the combined might of the powerful figures from Ameyo's past life, but Ameyo alone simply couldn't do it now! Even if Kaguya Otsutsuki were pulled out of the moon, all the Kage from ancient times were resurrected, and the Sage of Six Paths and his brother were added, such power would still be insufficient in the face of the Truth Society's main force invasion!

After all, any one of the core members of the Truth Society could burn an entire planet into a glass ball!

............

P.S. Sorry for the late first update.

Chapter 41 Orochimaru teaches you how to kill teammates you don't like.

The Land of Rice Fields is a small country sandwiched between major powers. As a buffer zone for the surrounding major powers, the Land of Rice Fields, like many small countries, not only lacks its own ninja village, but also does not have a decent ordinary army, and can only become a battlefield for the various major powers to fight and compete with each other.

The daimyo and nobles of the land of fields had long understood the plans of the surrounding great powers, and thus had long abandoned any thought of revitalizing the country, indulging in debauchery all day long. As a result, the entire national institution was corrupt and rampant with various criminal gangs, and the lives of the lower classes were extremely difficult.

Until Orochimaru came here, he bribed the daimyo and nobles, and established a ninja village called Otogakure. At the same time, he also built many factories in the Land of Rice Fields, producing many strange and wonderful things that were sold all over the world, bringing a lot of wealth to the Land of Rice Fields and also allowing many people in the Land of Rice Fields to live a life where they could barely have enough to eat.

That is why, in the Land of Rice Fields, any young person with even a little bit of ninja talent would be eager to join the Sound Village and follow Orochimaru, hoping to gain more wealth and power, even if they knew that they might become guinea pigs for some kind of human experimentation.

In an underground laboratory somewhere in the Land of Fields, Kabuto Yakushi calmly watched the glowing monitor screen in front of him. The screen displayed a scene from a test site, where many people were wielding lightsabers and fighting each other frantically, with people constantly collapsing to the ground, spurting blood.

Many of them seemed to have completely lost their minds, ignoring the lightsabers that were being swung at them, showing no intention of dodging, only knowing how to plunge their lightsabers into the bodies of others, and then falling down with their opponents amidst screams.

"This is the 45th experiment. What we can confirm is that ordinary people will completely lose their minds after holding these lightsabers for a certain period of time, and their minds will only be filled with killing. Although trained samurai can maintain their rationality, unfortunately, these samurai wielding lightsabers are still no match for ninjas!" Kabuto Yakushi slowly recorded the results of the experiment, ignoring the corpses in the experimental field, or rather, he had long been used to it and numb to it.

In the dim light, Orochimaru slowly walked into the laboratory, deftly licked his lips, and then asked in a hoarse voice, "Kabuto, have the results of the experiment come out yet?"

"The results of the experiment are in, Lord Orochimaru," Kabuto said respectfully. "Extensive human experiments have shown that the effects of the lightsabers and the newly made organ dolls are relatively weak, only effective on ordinary people. As for ninjas with chakra, it would take a long time to even have a chance of inducing them into a berserk state."

Orochimaru walked over and stared at the testing ground on the screen. There, a group of people were constantly moving the corpses of the test subjects. These corpses would then be sent to a factory for processing and decomposition, becoming stuffing for those organ dolls.

Kabuto continued explaining, "However, these things have some different effects on ordinary people. For example, people who wield lightsabers become like they are possessed by a demon sword, only knowing how to kill wildly until they die; while those who possess internal organ dolls become very fond of these dolls and will absolutely not allow anyone to harm them. Currently, there is intelligence indicating that in some areas of the Land of Fields, a cult has emerged that worships these dolls as gods."

"Slaughter and cults, are they trying to turn this place into a second Hot Spring Village?" Orochimaru said coldly, clenching his hand that wore the Akatsuki ring, clearly recalling his past battle with the evil god. "But do they really think I wouldn't dare to retaliate when they attack my village so wantonly? You should know that the Akatsuki doesn't forbid its members from killing each other!"

Kabuto, still calm, adjusted his glasses as he looked at the murderous Orochimaru: "Lord Orochimaru, please don't be too hasty in taking action. After all, these two items have made the organization a lot of money thanks to their strong attraction to ordinary people. If we rashly stop the production of these two items, it may provoke opposition from the organization."

"What if it wasn't us who did it? If someone else did the killing, then it has nothing to do with us, and even the organization can't say anything, right?" Orochimaru said with a sneer, his eyes glancing at the righteous warrior transformation seal faintly visible on Kabuto's shoulder.

Although Kabuto's acting was indeed quite good, Orochimaru was no fool. He had noticed Kabuto's abnormality the moment he returned, and with Kabuto's own subtle hints, Orochimaru now understood the purpose of the Justice Warrior Transformation Seal on Kabuto's body.

"Kabuto, now spread the word to all the major ninja villages around here, send out all the results of our experiments on these lightsabers and organ dolls, then take the elite of the Sound Ninja and me and leave the Land of Rice Fields. After that, let the ninjas of those major countries come and cause them trouble!" Orochimaru coldly issued the order.

"But Lord Orochimaru, didn't the organization specifically ask us to do our best to protect the safety of these goods? If we desert in the face of battle like this, I'm afraid the Akatsuki members will be dissatisfied!" Kabuto reminded him in a low voice.

Upon hearing Kabuto's reminder, Orochimaru revealed a smug sneer, his vertical pupils gleaming coldly: "The Akatsuki won't have any objections, because my departure from the Land of Rice Fields ahead of schedule wasn't desertion, but rather to carry out the mission assigned by the organization—to discuss a joint attack on Konoha with the Sand Ninja! Unfortunately, the ninjas from those major countries just happened to take this opportunity to destroy the factories in the Land of Rice Fields. I deeply regret this, as I was simply too far away to intervene in time!"

........................... ..

Beside a small city in the land of fields, there is a series of factory sites, which are the production sites of the "internal organs animal" doll series, which has become very popular in recent years.

Inside the factory, a large number of workers assemble dolls from a continuous stream of fabric and cotton, and then send these dolls to a secret workshop.

In this workshop, where ordinary workers are strictly prohibited from entering, these dolls undergo a mysterious processing procedure before they become the "internal organs animal" dolls that ordinary people would want to buy at first glance.

Chapter 42 Abomination Stitches and Onychomycosis

Clang!

With a heavy thud as the iron gate slowly opened, several strong workers laboriously chanted as they carried large boxes of dolls into the enclosed workshop. The workshop, almost completely devoid of air circulation, was filled with a putrid and stench, causing the workers to involuntarily frown. Urged on by the foreman, they quickly left the dark workshop and locked the only large iron gate behind them.

Only after being placed in this workshop for a period of time will the newly made dolls transform into highly attractive dolls with enticing internal organs; those that haven't undergone this process are merely ordinary toys that few people would buy. Therefore, to keep this secret, all workers are constantly instructed not to approach this workshop except when handling goods.

At first, many workers didn't take the rule seriously, but after all those workers who sneaked near out of curiosity never came back, the remaining workers became much more obedient.

The dark workshop was deathly silent; there wasn't even a single rat or insect, which are common in many places, as if these little creatures dared not approach it at all.

Suddenly, a mechanism in the workshop activated, lifting several floorboards to reveal a strange stone about the size of a fist. It emitted a faint, eerie light in the darkness, illuminating the mountain of dolls and the piles of corpses and flesh on the ground, which emitted a nauseating stench dozens of times stronger than before. These were the "residues" left behind after Orochimaru used them for human experiments.

After a long while, under the light of the stone, a doll stood up blankly and staggered forward in the blood, walking step by step towards the rotting flesh that had accumulated for who knows how many days. Behind it, more dolls blankly opened their eyes, stretched out their limbs, and crawled towards the rotting flesh like zombies, just like the Lickers in Resident Evil chasing their prey, rushing towards the rotting flesh.

"So slow! The materials used for these things are so poor quality. Even under the Philosopher's Stone's light, it's taking so long for them to start moving again! Can't Orochimaru provide us with some high-quality materials? We don't even need Chunin or Genin, at least a ninja! But after all this time, he hasn't even given us a single ninja corpse!" A woman stood on a high place, looking down at the dolls scrambling to squeeze into the rotting flesh. Her voice was full of dissatisfaction. It was the same woman who had attacked Naruto that night!

The dolls that burrowed into the flesh lay contentedly in the piles of rotting flesh, constantly absorbing the decaying blood and flesh around them. In a few days, these originally ordinary dolls would transform into the viscera dolls that were attractive to ordinary people. Then they would be sold all over the world at extremely low prices to prepare for the invasion of the Truth Society.

Beside the woman, a man dressed entirely in black armor, wearing a black helmet and a black cloak calmly replied, "Orochimaru isn't stupid. He should be suspicious of our actions by now, right? But he doesn't dare to openly attack us, so he can only restrict us in terms of materials to prevent us from creating something too powerful that could threaten him."

"Isn't that all because of what you did before?!" the woman shouted angrily. "Back when we went to Konoha to exterminate the Uchiha clan with those people, we already agreed that the Sharingan would go to them, and the corpses would be ours! But you used all those Uchiha corpses to create the Abomination Stitches! Who wouldn't be afraid of that Abomination Stitches, which is even bigger than a Tailed Beast?! No wonder Orochimaru is suspicious!!"

The man, clad in black armor, a black helmet, and a black cloak, sighed helplessly. His voice, amplified by the helmet's visor, sounded somewhat eerie: "I was just curious to see what would happen if I combined the corpses of what's supposedly an elite race with my dark primal force. I never expected it to get so out of control!"

The red-haired woman angrily waved her hand, the Kempfer-specific bracelet on her wrist radiating a crimson glow that symbolized corruption and twisted power. She continued to complain to the all-black-clad man, "Using the Uchiha clan's corpses is one thing, but to create that Abomination Stitched Monster, we even used up most of the Philosopher's Stones, so now we only have enough for the last batch of dolls! What about our future plans? Do you think this is still your Sith Empire, where Dark Jedi Knights and Stormtroopers are always there to wage war and create Philosopher's Stones for you?"

"Enough! You nagging red-haired woman, are you a whiny liar?" the fallen Dark Lord replied impatiently. "Anyway, those useless dolls can only affect ordinary people. They're basically useless to the ninjas, the true rulers of this world. They're not enough to create the blood sacrifice that will summon other members! To truly complete our plan, we still need to rely on the future war, and right now I'm doing that in the Land of Wind!"

The inherently volatile Dark Lord spoke these words, his figure contorting before vanishing into the darkness like a disappearing phantom. The Dark Lord who had just spoken was merely a projection transmitted from afar; for someone well-versed in the dark side of the Force, such a matter was utterly trivial.

"Hmph! You tin can monster! How would you know the benefits of these viscera dolls!" the fallen Kempfer said unhappily, then seemed to remember something, hurriedly looked at his fingernails, and exclaimed, "Oh no, I forgot to collect the nail polish that Akatsuki gave me today!!"

In the original work, every member of the Akatsuki organization was required to wear a black fire cloud robe and have their nails painted all over. This wasn't a unique taste of Konan and the others; it was simply because the early Akatsuki organization often operated in damp and dark caves, so some people accidentally contracted onychomycosis (fungal nail infection), which then spread to others, resulting in many members having onychomycosis on their hands. Therefore, the Akatsuki organization eventually developed the special habit of distributing nail polish regularly.

How could a beautiful girl tolerate onychomycosis? So Kempfer, who had forgotten to apply nail polish, immediately turned around and ran towards the nearest Akatsuki stronghold!
