I, Naruto Uzumaki, don't need your approval.

He always wanted the people he cared about to have a better life, even though he had been dead for many years.

So Naruto wrote down what the Fourth Hokage had dictated in the letter, and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to send the letter to Konoha, which was far away.

……

After some time, the anxious Kakashi received a reply.

Upon receiving the reply, Kakashi eagerly opened it. The letter contained very simple information, nothing more than some propaganda tactics, such as spreading rumors to slander Danzo.

The method to slander Danzo is even simpler; all you need to do is state what Danzo did once.

If Danzo were to encounter problems, the Third Hokage would naturally be unable to protect himself.

Kakashi's method is a bit too vicious. The Third Hokage has worked hard for so many years, even if he didn't achieve great things. Jiraiya would not agree to treat the Third Hokage like this.

But this method of using public opinion to kill reminded Kakashi of his father, Konoha's White Fang.

My father died because he abandoned an important mission while rescuing his teammates. Afterwards, he committed suicide due to the accusations from his teammates and the pressure of public opinion.

In fact, according to his investigation, his father's abandonment of the mission did cause huge losses to the village.

However, these kinds of missions are usually classified, and how they were leaked is common knowledge, which is a topic worthy of discussion.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable to use the same methods that the high-ups used to deal with their fathers to deal with the current high-ups. After all, everyone is eliminating dissidents under the banner of Konoha, so there is no difference.

After reading the previous content, Naruto mentioned the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and the Hyuga clan again.

To confront the Hokage Building, it is necessary to unite the forces of these families. Together, they are enough to contend with the Third Hokage and Danzo, forcing the higher-ups to concede.

These sharp words frightened Kakashi, and he began to feel fortunate that Naruto had chosen to leave.

If Naruto really intends to stay in the village, then his radical stance of dealing with Danzo would be considered conservative. However, Naruto seems to disdain playing these ninja games and instead intends to build a completely different system.

After reading the last paragraph, Kakashi paused, looking somewhat dazed.

The style of the last paragraph is unlike Naruto's; it's more like Minato's style from his memories. Only Minato would offer such gentle guidance and care.

Could it be that Minato-sensei didn't die?

If that's the case, there's no need to make Jiraiya the Fifth Hokage at all; just let Minato return to Konoha. After all, the Third Hokage was only acting Hokage.

Under Minato's guidance, Konoha wouldn't be filled with infighting like it is now.

Kakashi had this thought in his mind, but he quickly dismissed it. Minato-sensei had died long ago, and he had witnessed his burial. There was no sign that his body had been stolen.

The only possibility is the chakra left by the teacher inside Naruto.

Therefore, it's understandable that Naruto has acted like a monster since childhood. These might all be Minato's thoughts, and even Minato was disappointed with the current state of the village.

Just as Kakashi was frowning in thought, he didn't notice that a figure had appeared outside the window.

The figure was none other than Uchiha Obito, who had come to Konoha to search for Naruto's whereabouts. He glanced at Kakashi, who was deep in thought, and then at the Flying Thunder God Kunai in the distance, seemingly confirming some things.

After giving Kakashi a deep look, Obito stepped into the vortex and headed towards the depths of Konoha.

Chapter 162 The First Experiment of Pure Land

After using Kamui to teleport, Obito arrived at the Heroes' Graveyard.

This was one of his favorite places to linger besides the Water Shadow Building. In this cemetery, his parents, teachers, himself, and the only light in his heart are buried.

Feeling the gentle breeze on the grass, Obito's mood calmed down considerably, and his expression became even more determined.

After seeing the Flying Thunder God kunai in Kakashi's house, he confirmed one thing: his teacher was not dead, but had transformed into the leader of Uzushio Village, buying time for Konoha to develop while secretly investigating the Akatsuki organization.

The reason he hasn't attacked me yet is because he's wary of my identity as Madara and isn't confident he can kill me completely, so he's been waiting for the perfect opportunity.

However, it is somewhat absurd that both the student and the teacher are brought back to life and treat each other as enemies. But the ninja world is inherently absurd, a hell for the living, filled with lies, deception, and war.

Arriving at Rin Nohara's grave, Obito activated his Hollowfication and burrowed underground.

Lin's body is still there...

A few seconds later, Obito returned to the ground and hid in a corner. He didn't know what he was feeling at that moment. Was he glad that his remains were still there, or was he disappointed that Rin hadn't played a joke on the world?

In short, let's go to the Anbu first.

As long as Naruto's location can be pinpointed, the Tailed Beast Plan can proceed smoothly.

……

Obito's departure was as swift as a breeze, but Kakashi still sensed the spatial fluctuations.

Kakashi approached the bed with a grim expression. Looking at the broken tree branch, his expression changed repeatedly. He knew the masked man had just been there.

That was a demon who unleashed the Nine-Tails' rampage and led Itachi Uchiha to his downfall.

However, in Naruto's letter, the Fourth Hokage told him that the masked man was someone they all knew, which was practically an open statement that the other person was Obito himself.

He refused to believe that Obito was that demon.

But after calm reflection, the masked man could only be Obito, just not the Obito he knew.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been able to bring Rin's body back to Konoha after being attacked by the Hidden Mist Anbu; he would have died at the hands of the Hidden Mist Anbu long ago.

But why did Obito become the masked man? Was the world in his eyes more cruel than it was in his own?

During his years as an ANBU member, he witnessed the darkness within the village. He could understand Obito's descent into darkness, but shouldn't one seek revenge against the enemy after turning to the dark side? Why seek revenge against Minato and Kushina, the two people who were completely open with Obito?

With a soft sigh, Kakashi went to the mirror and removed his eye patch.

Beneath the eyepatch are his three-tomoe Sharingan, which cannot be closed and is what he relied on to become a Konoha technician. Since Obito might be the masked man, then the space-time ability that the masked man possesses should also be present in his eyes.

But how to activate the kaleidoscope has become his biggest problem at this moment.

If he can successfully activate the Kaleidoscope, he will not only be able to counter the masked man and overthrow Danzo and other high-ranking officials, but also make Jiraiya's path to becoming the Fifth Hokage much easier.

Ultimately, within the village, strength prevails, and the kaleidoscope will become his asset.

……

Inside Uzushio Village, Naruto did not receive a reply from Kakashi.

Besides the fact that the two sides didn't have much to talk about, it was also related to Kakashi's limited chakra reserves. After all, this was an email sent over a distance of thousands of kilometers, and the chakra consumption would drain a Jonin dry.

The Rinnegan's voice call is still the best, and the Illusion Body Technique can also be used for video chat.

However, in this case, the Akatsuki gathering that Juzo Biwa mentioned seems to have turned into an Akatsuki chat group...

After finishing his conversation with the traitor Kakashi, Naruto left the office and headed towards the Uzumaki Shrine while listening to Himon's development report.

After the war in the Land of Waves, Uzushio Village has finally established a firm foothold in the Land of Waves.

The development of the Land of Waves and the Land of Whirlpools is actually in conflict. Both are suitable to become ports and develop tourism, but these all depend on the surrounding major powers, and they can easily reach their limits.

Furthermore, the ninja academy is severely understaffed and currently can only rely on orphans to supplement its student body.

Fortunately, due to the Akatsuki's instigation of internal strife, small countries are never short of orphans. These orphans without parents are the best ninjas to train, and that's how the Akatsuki started.

After hearing the report, Naruto only gave two suggestions.

First, we need to recruit scientific research talent and develop chakra technology. Technological creations can be mass-produced, but the strength of ninjas requires a lot of time to cultivate.

In his mind, there wasn't much difference between future Chunin, Genin, and Ninja Academy students.

Even Jonin can be eliminated by Genin using scientific ninja tools; only Kage-level ninjas can guarantee absolute crushing of Chunin and Genin.

Secondly, it is necessary to clean up the nobles within the Land of Waves and let Uzushio Village directly manage the Land of Waves, so that there can be no middlemen making a profit and the funds will not be wasted.

After giving his advice, Naruto shook off the Fire Gate and went to the Uzumaki Shrine.

Upon seeing Ashina Uzumaki, Naruto smiled and said, "Has the old man recently developed some new sealing techniques? Or has there been new progress in his research on the Pure Land?"

Ashina looked very anxious and quickly said, "Stop talking nonsense and help me with the experiment. There is an experiment I can't do without your help."

"What experiment?" Naruto asked curiously.

As Ashina led the way, he said, "It's an experiment about the Pure Land. I plan to go back to the Pure Land. You should quickly undo the Impure World Reincarnation Technique."

Naruto hesitated when he heard this.

Once the Impure World Reincarnation technique is lifted, the old patriarch will become a free Impure World Body. However, it seems that the old patriarch himself can get rid of the Impure World Reincarnation technique through a sealing technique.

However, there is one more important thing: the Impure World Reincarnation technique requires flesh and blood.

After Naruto voiced his doubts, Ashina Uzumaki gave him a reassuring look and pointed to a box in the distance, saying, "That's my corpse over there. I just dug it out. It'll be more than enough for the Impure World Reincarnation..."

After witnessing this scene, Naruto was speechless.

Other dead people were worried about their bodies being desecrated and believed that the dead should not interfere with the ninja world. But you, old man, are afraid that you are not interfering with the ninja world enough, so you even took the initiative to dig up your own body for research.

It seems he interacted quite a bit with the Second Hokage while he was alive; perhaps he could have even become close friends with Orochimaru despite their age difference.

But out of respect, Naruto still asked, "Won't this desecrate the body?"

Uzumaki Ashina rolled his eyes: "I am the deceased myself, and I am the most powerful in the Uzumaki clan. Who dares to say I am desecrating a corpse?"

Chapter 163 Blurring the Boundary Between Life and Death

After listening to Ashina Uzumaki's detailed explanation of the precautions, Naruto formed hand seals and released the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

As he felt the connection between himself and Naruto gradually weaken, Ashina Uzumaki released the sealing technique on his body, and his already shattered impure body began to crumble step by step.

Soon, with the appearance of a white light, Ashina's soul began to rise rapidly into the air.

Naruto stared intently at the white light in the sky. If he wasn't mistaken, it was the passage connecting to the Pure Land, the bridge to the world of the dead.

Just as Naruto was about to observe further, Ashina's aura had completely disappeared.

Naruto withdrew his gaze from the distance and waited for time to pass. As agreed with the old clan leader, he would use the Impure World Reincarnation technique in half a day to summon the old clan leader's soul to the ninja world.

While waiting, Naruto couldn't help but ponder what exactly the Pure Land was.

Although he had suspected long ago that the existence of the Pure Land was related to the Divine Tree, speculation was just speculation, and the specific results would only be known when the old patriarch returned.

Besides the Pure Land, there are many other strange objects in the ninja world that are suspected to be related to the Divine Tree.

For example, the dragon veins possessed by the ancient kingdom of Loulan in the desert of the Land of Wind have the ability to travel back in time, allowing Naruto in the original story to meet Minato Namikaze before he became Hokage, and together they defeated the Sand Ninja who were trying to change the past.

Thinking of this, Naruto looked at Minato Namikaze inside the sealed space and frowned to himself.

Will Minato Namikaze's chakra clone know anything about the future? After using the Dragon Vein to travel through time, will it be the past of this world or the past of a parallel world?

Without thinking too much, Naruto began practicing taijutsu to pass the time, as his taijutsu was still too weak compared to opponents of the same level.
