The world I hear is completely different from yours.

As these people left, an unspeakable silence fell over the activity room, leaving only Nagato standing there, left out in the cold.

"These people are surprisingly trusting of me." Having experienced the harsh realities of war, Nagato easily understood why these SOS Brigade members trusted him, a complete stranger. These people had never experienced bloody warfare and naturally had no idea what terrible things humans could do to their fellow human beings during wartime.

"So, people in this world have achieved peace?" Nagato murmured to himself. Through the window beside him, he could clearly see the students running happily in the schoolyard. The carefree life that those students possessed, a life unique to those far removed from war, was precisely the goal that Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan had been striving to achieve when they founded the Akatsuki organization.

Nagato walked towards the bookshelf standing to the side of the activity room. After Kasuga and the others left, Nagato regained some of his mobility. Although he couldn't use his superhuman ninja powers and couldn't leave the activity room, it didn't stop him from picking up a book from the bookshelf.

The bookshelves were filled with all sorts of books, covering a wide range of categories. Besides a large stack of academic books, there was also a whole shelf of comics and novels. Nagato casually flipped through them, looking for books on history and society. Perhaps they contained information about methods for achieving peace in this world, even if they weren't necessarily applicable in his own world, they could at least offer some guidance.

Then Nagato accidentally discovered a row of comic series on the manga floor that stood out, and the covers looked strangely familiar to him.

That is a collection of selected volumes of the manga "Naruto" by Masashi Kishimoto, published by Shueisha, totaling 10 volumes.

Most of the characters on the cover are people Nagato doesn't recognize, but there is one person who is familiar to Nagato. He is a person wearing clothes that are almost identical to the Fire Cloud Robe that Nagato is currently wearing, with a face similar to Yahiko, but with a pair of eyes full of circles—Pain.

Boom!! In that instant, Nagato felt a loud bang in his head, so loud that he could barely stand and almost collapsed to the ground. At that moment, he could only keep thinking about one question: if Haruhi's comment hadn't been interrupted, would she have held up one of these manga and said to him, "Your story was copied from this?"

In the warm afternoon sunlight, Nagato's heart was ice-cold. He then reached out a trembling hand and turned to the first page of the manga titled "Naruto".

At first, Nagato was filled with fear and dread.

Gradually, after comparing the differences between the comic and her own world—for example, the Third Hokage was a girl instead of an old man in the comic—fear turned into surprise and a little comfort. At least her own world did not develop entirely as depicted in the comic.

As the story unfolds, Nagato's grief deepens upon realizing the ultimate fate of her companions.

Upon seeing the ending of the manga, Nagato was filled with nothing but anger.

Naruto Uzumaki!! Is this the peaceful future you promised me? You've merely suppressed most conflicts through sheer force and charisma. How is this any different from the world under Hashirama Senju's control? Your Konoha may be prosperous, but what about our Land of Rain? What about the other smaller countries? Have you even considered the lives of their inhabitants? Once you and Sasuke, these two absolute powerhouses, grow old, how long will this so-called peaceful future last?

No! I won't accept it! I absolutely refuse to accept it! Absolutely not! Yahiko and Minami's sacrifices must not be in vain!!

But what should I do?!

According to the manga, Nagato believed that after returning to his own world, he would soon master the use of the Rinnegan, and then he could crush those demigods like Hanzo, Madara Uchiha, and Obito Uchiha, and make that alien with the Byakugan sleep forever on the moon.

But what's next? Nagato pondered anxiously, wondering how he should change this world next.

Completely bewildered, Nagato looked around in a panic and unexpectedly spotted a red book on the bookshelf, its cover bearing a striking red hammer and sickle symbol.

Nagato reached out and, as if possessed, pulled out the book titled "Capital - An Interpretation of XX Thought on Socialism." After glancing at it casually a few times, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

After a long silence, Nagato closed the red book and let out a long sigh: "Yahiko, Konan, this time I've truly found a way to change the world, in the name of the scythe and hammer!!!"

Chapter Twenty: You actually stole my money and then paid me my salary?

In the dead of night, Konoha Village was quiet, most people already fast asleep. On the edge of the village, in an ordinary house, a person dressed in ANBU uniform and wearing a fox mask silently climbed out of the window and sped towards the outskirts of the village.

But after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked ahead warily: "Who's there!"

"Tianbei, where are you going, still wearing your ANBU uniform so late at night?" A ANBU member wearing a cat-face mask emerged from the bushes not far in front of him and asked coldly.

"Dai Li, is that you?" Tian Bei asked hesitantly. After observing the surroundings and finding no one else, he walked towards her and said, "It's nothing, I just received a secret mission. As for the details, I'm sorry I can't say more."

"Oh?" Dai Li looked at Tian Bei, who was slowly approaching, and said in a strange tone, "Secret mission? Then why don't I, as the captain of the ANBU, know about this?"

"Well... I'm not quite sure either. After all, I don't know what the Hokage is thinking." Tian Bei continued to walk slowly towards Dai Li, but his hand behind his back secretly gripped his weapon.

"Oh? I don't recall ever giving you a secret mission like this before?" a girl's voice came from behind.

Upon hearing this voice, Tian Bei trembled, nearly dropping his weapon: "The Third Hokage?!"

Wearing a divine robe and a Hokage hat, Tensei slowly emerged from the shadows in a corner, staring at the trembling Tanaka with a "kind" expression: "Who exactly gave you the secret mission to leave the village? Was it me, or Elder Danzo?"

Tian Bei trembled even more violently, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly gritted his teeth and tried to pull himself together!

However, someone else was even faster. Before Tianbei could even clench his teeth, Dairi had already closed in and delivered a heavy chop to Tianbei's neck, knocking him unconscious. Then, taking advantage of Tianbei's complete incapacitation, Dairi swiftly pried a hollow denture from his mouth: "A poisonous fang for suicide when a mission fails? This is a special item from Root. If you bite down hard, the denture will immediately break, and the venom inside will flow into your body, killing you instantly! I can't believe Tianbei has secretly joined Root and become Elder Danzo's subordinate!"

"This is the second mole we've caught tonight!" As expected of the Hokage! Daili looked at the Third Hokage, who was dressed as a young girl, with admiration. As expected of the "strongest Hokage in history" as the villagers called him, he not only had great strength and an ageless appearance, but also had a keen sense of judgment. He could even see through a mole hiding in the Anbu at a glance!

No, I simply called all the members of the secret service to the front, listened to them once using my listening ability, and then they all confessed everything they had, including who the mole was and who the loyalists were.

However, Tian Qing didn't intend to explain further. After all, a leader should naturally maintain a certain air of mystery: "Squad Leader Dai Li, immediately notify the Anbu to monitor all Root members and prevent them from leaving the village. Also, inform Elder Danzo that he must come to the office building for a meeting tomorrow morning. There are important matters to discuss, and he cannot be absent!"

"Yes!"

Watching the departing ANBU captain, Ame couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that it's time for Hanzo and Danzo to collude, kill Yahiko, and turn Nagato to the dark side, isn't it?"

In the original story, besides Hanzo and Danzo, two other Konoha ANBU members were involved in the attack on Nagato. These must be the two ANBU members I captured tonight who secretly joined Root. Considering my orders to prevent Root members from leaving the village and my demand that Danzo attend tomorrow's meeting, it seems the only ones who attacked Nagato and his group were Hanzo and his men.

Just a few hours ago, Ame received intelligence that Danzo was making unusual moves and realized the conspiracy against Nagato. However, she didn't have time to send anyone to help Nagato. The only thing she could do was to deal with the mastermind behind the events in Konoha.

Don't even mention sending ANBU to protect Nagato and the others beforehand. Let alone what Nagato and the others would think after discovering that Konoha's ANBU were monitoring them, you have to know that due to the butterfly effect of Amemory, the original history has already deviated. Now, probably no one can say for sure when Hanzo attacked Nagato. How could Amemory send ANBU to help in time?

"So I'm sorry, Nagato, Yahiko, Konan, this is all I can do. From now on, you'll have to face this challenge on your own. Of course, if you don't make it through and become like Pain, who calls himself a 'god,' I will still beat you to a pulp without mercy." Tensei thought to himself, and the blood on his divine robes seemed to sense his thoughts, emanating a restless energy.

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

On a small hill on the border of the Land of Rain, Sasori and Yekura were staring at each other, wide-eyed.

"Scorpion, did you come here specifically to find me?" Yekura looked at Scorpion with a dazed expression, cupping her cheeks in her hands and making a standard yandere expression like Yuno Gasai. "Yakura, I'm so happy!"

"Foolish woman! I don't care where you go!" Scorpion gritted his teeth and glared at Yekura. "You took all that money that was in the warehouse, didn't you? You thought you could run away with all the money while I was fighting and I wouldn't be able to find you?"

Women are like clothes, companions are like limbs, but if a companion dares to steal my money, I'll cut off your limbs and turn you into a human puppet! With the buff of recovering his stolen money, Scorpion's rage is now soaring, and he'd dare to wield a knife and hack away even if the opponent were a female dragon!

"The money that was in the warehouse?" Yecang was taken aback. "I didn't take it. I ran away as soon as I saw the Sand Ninja army charging towards us from afar."

Scorpion snorted coldly: "I put magnetic marks on those silver notes, so I can sense anyone who gets close to me! Although I can't sense any marks on you right now, it's hard to say that you've hidden the silver notes somewhere else, so I'll be keeping a close eye on you from now on!"

Yekura shrugged indifferently.

Somewhere underground in the Land of Rain, Black Zetsu pulled out a large stack of silver notes and handed them to White Zetsu: "You've been really lucky lately. You found these in a cave not long ago. Keep them for future Akatsuki expenses."

Years later, when Sasori received his first stipend from Akatsuki, he immediately turned on Kakuzu, who was in charge of finances, and started a fight: "You damned little thief, this is the money I lost before!!"

Akatsuki internal strife +1

Chapter Twenty-One: The New Uchiha Clan Chief and Diapers

Time flows relentlessly forward, beyond human control. No matter how strong a person is, they cannot stop the passage of time, for humans will eventually grow old.

*Tap! Tap!* A maidservant whispered from outside the door, “Lord Hokage, it’s almost time. We should head to the Uchiha clan for the inauguration ceremony of the new clan head.”

"Ah, I know, I'm coming." Tianqing stood up, but the images of her former companions flashed before her eyes. "They've all grown old."

In the previous world of Bloodborne, Tianqing obtained the divine umbilical cord and a divine garment*blood made from it. Relying on these two items, along with years of research after returning to the Naruto world, Tianqing finally gained a faint trace of divinity. Although this faint divinity did not grant Tianqing any powerful divine strength, it successfully allowed him to complete the first step in his transformation from human to god.

At this point, Tian Qing was no longer purely human. However, it was precisely because of this that she was able to maintain a youthful appearance and physical condition throughout these long years, since gods always have very long lifespans. Only with the support of this sufficiently long lifespan could Tian Qing have enough time to accumulate power and have the hope of avenging her past humiliations and dealing with those bastards who forced her to abandon her previous life's body and transmigrate.

After all, Tensei was a contemporary of Uchiha Kagami, Shimura Danzo, and Sarutobi Hiruzen, all active during the final stages of the First Shinobi World War, more than forty years ago. If Tensei hadn't transformed herself into a god in time, she would probably be a wrinkled old woman by now. Can you imagine an old woman wielding weapons in the Third Shinobi World War, and then suddenly jumping into a Gundam to fight other enemies in the sky?

While a long lifespan has many advantages, it also has some disadvantages, such as the gradual passing away of one's companions and elders.

Not long ago, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, passed away peacefully. Now, it's the turn of the former Uchiha clan head, Kagami Uchiha, a comrade who fought alongside Amehara. Because of his passing, today is the day to elect a new Uchiha clan head. Of course, such an important matter as the election of the clan head is decided internally by the Uchiha clan, not by outsiders. The reason Amehara, the Third Hokage, was invited is simply to attend the new head's inauguration ceremony and to introduce him to the new leader on behalf of Konoha.

The new head of the Uchiha clan was Fugaku Uchiha, who was in his prime at the time and would later become the father of Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha. He was a very authoritative clan head.

But at this moment, the newly appointed clan chief was blushing and had his head down, wishing he could disappear into the ground. He had no dignity whatsoever, because in front of him, two women were talking about his past misdeeds, and he couldn't even utter a word to defend himself.

These two women were his maternal aunt, the renowned "Battlefield Dancer" Uchiha Haruno, and Haruno's former teammate, the current Third Hokage, Tensei. Both were undeniably Fugaku's elders, both in terms of seniority and experience.

"Speaking of the past," Tianqing said, looking at Uchiha Fugaku, who had been keeping his head down and not saying a word, "Little Fugaku, do you remember when I came to the Uchiha clan to visit Haruno, I even changed your diapers!"

Uchiha Fugaku: "………!"

“That’s right, I changed diapers back then too!” Uchiha Haruno chimed in, chatting with Tensei about their experiences changing diapers for Uchiha Fugaku when he was a child, talking about how he peed three feet high and how he had ADHD and his legs were kicking around. They were having a great time.

Fugaku Uchiha could only sit there obediently with his head down, listening to stories of his childhood. The awkward smile on his face gradually faded, and his whole appearance turned a tragic gray.

As the newly appointed clan head, Fugaku Uchiha had originally been ambitious, intending to have a proper discussion with the visiting Third Hokage about the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village. But now, how could he possibly swallow his pride and discuss political affairs with the Third Hokage, who was currently recounting his past experiences changing his diapers?

"Speaking of which, we used to teach Fugaku to dance together." After a lot of small talk, just when Fugaku thought the two of them had nothing left to talk about, Tensei changed the subject and brought up a new topic.

Uchiha Fugaku: "………!"

"Oh God, please stop talking! I've tried so hard to bury those terrible memories in the darkness!" Fugaku Uchiha cried out in his heart, praying that his aunt had forgotten about it.

However, things always develop in the direction that people least want to see. As the saying goes, fate is unpredictable, and the passage of time is so incredible.

"Ah! I remember that too! Back then, when Fugaku wanted to learn to dance from me, I specially dressed him in women's clothes. Fugaku was so happy at the time!" Uchiha Haruno quickly recalled this incident and casually mentioned yet another of Uchiha Fugaku's embarrassing moments.

*Crack!* The newly appointed Uchiha clan leader, Fugaku Uchiha, was heartbroken, his face filled with utter despair. The grand plans he had envisioned upon taking office had vanished without a trace; now, Fugaku only hoped this tragic day would end quickly.

"Luckily, we're talking in this private room, so no one else will hear us." Fugaku Uchiha, clinging to his last hope, looked towards the other side of the room. His wife, Mikoto Uchiha, was squatting there, feeding the newborn Itachi Uchiha with a small bottle. Apart from that, there was no one else in the room.

There were no other Uchiha clan members present, so the prestige of the Uchiha clan head could finally be preserved! A bittersweet joy welled up in Fugaku Uchiha's heart.

Then Fugaku Uchiha glanced at his wife again. Although Mikoto Uchiha appeared calm, as if she hadn't heard anything, the occasional small smile on her lips betrayed her inner excitement—the unique expression of a woman hearing unexpected gossip.

"Eh!! You heard that too?" Fugaku Uchiha suddenly felt that his dignity as the head of the family was probably in jeopardy. But thankfully, his son Itachi Uchiha was still young and probably didn't know anything, so he managed to save face as a father, Fugaku Uchiha thought to himself with some consolation.

Chapter Twenty-Two: What to do when your best friend turns into a beautiful woman?

As the land where the deserts of the Land of Wind, the plains of the Land of Fire, and the mountains of the Land of Earth meet, the Land of Rain is constantly a convergence point for warm and cold air masses from different landforms. This results in the Land of Rain being shrouded in cold drizzle almost every day, making its climate unusually damp and cold.

Jieyi hurriedly entered the office building, which had not been cleaned for a long time. She walked through the dusty corridor, not bothering to take off her rain-soaked clothes, and ran upstairs as fast as she could.

"Halt! Who goes there!" shouted a Jonin guarding the door.

"I am Jonin Yui, and I have important information to deliver to Lord Hanzo!" Yui stood still and respectfully handed over the information. He knew very well that regardless of whether he had any important information or not, if anything seemed amiss, the other party would attack without hesitation.

All of this was to protect the leader of Amegakure: the demigod Hanzo.

As a small country sandwiched between three major powers and an important steel-producing region, the Rain Country has always been a strategic location coveted by military strategists and a frequent target of exploitation by the other major powers. Consequently, the Rain Country has been forced to become one of the many subordinate states of these other major powers.

During the Second Shinobi World War, Hanzo also aspired to use his immense strength to lead the Land of Rain to become a new great power. However, his former allies naturally wouldn't stand idly by and watch their vassal rise. Soon, the overwhelming influx of armies from various countries taught Hanzo a lesson about the futility of an individual's efforts against an entire nation. In the end, Hanzo could only watch helplessly as the people of the Land of Rain wailed under the bayonets of enemy troops.

After witnessing the power of the major nations, the "demigod" Hanzo realized that his title of "demigod" meant nothing to those great powers; it was merely a "tiger skin" covering the Land of Rain. Upon realizing this undeniable fact, his original ambitions and plans completely vanished.

As time goes by, the aging Hanzo's only remaining life goal is to "firmly hold onto power for the rest of his life."

Therefore, he has become increasingly cautious over the years, even ordering Amegakure to allocate elite personnel to him, with 24-hour rotating Jonin guards to provide him with uninterrupted protection around the clock.

As for whether the already weak Amegakure, which had very few Jonin, would have enough Jonin strength to carry out missions and earn rewards after drawing so many people from it, Hanzo didn't care at all.

"Alright, you can go in now." After taking a while to confirm that there were no problems, the Jonin guarding the door finally made way, indicating that Yui could enter the room to meet Hanzo.
