Be the Main God from Naruto - Chapter 78
“I heard that at the [World’s Greatest Art Expo], there will be a great artist performing the essence of eternity and explosion…”
As soon as Gaara finished speaking, he felt tightly gripped by two powerful auras.
This wasn’t about strength but purely the might of their will and conviction.
Eternity, explosion.
These words were almost sacred to Sasori of the Red Sand and Deidara.
At this moment, their emotions were highly complex.
On the one hand, they were delighted to find kindred spirits; on the other, they felt disdain.
The world had too many frauds, and even if the expo attracted many people, it didn’t guarantee the presence of any real masters.
Gaara, though not possessing Wang Yan’s mind-reading ability, was adept at reading expressions.
Just by observing their faces, he immediately grasped the issue.
Gaara pondered for a moment as if trying to recall something.
After a while, he spoke softly: “The road of life, a realm of trials for the heart.”
“The warmth and coldness of the world, a place of cultivation for the soul.”
“The twists and turns of life, a resource for the journey.”
“These three sayings were from an old man I met in Konoha. I found them interesting, so I remembered them.”
Gaara smiled: “I don’t quite understand these myself, and I don’t know his level. Since we’re comrades in the Akatsuki, I thought you might be interested in these ideas and mentioned them in passing.”
A few days ago, while in Konoha, to settle some scores with Naruto and Sasuke, Gaara’s clone found the two providing “research materials” to Orochimaru in the technology department.
Bored while waiting, Gaara picked up a comic book to pass the time.
These sayings came from that comic book.
Unexpectedly, a few casual remarks were the key to completing his mission.
“Interesting! Hmm! I’ve decided to go to Konoha!” Deidara, who had been hesitant, made a swift decision.
Sasori nodded slightly, indicating his agreement.
Seeing their response, even Gaara, who didn’t believe in fate, couldn’t help but marvel at the wonders of life.
“Hehe, you’re a good junior! I’ll look out for you from now on!”
Deidara patted Gaara on the shoulder, and Sasori nodded in acknowledgment.
As for whether Gaara was lying?
The two simple and honest individuals hadn’t even considered the possibility of being deceived—they’d help count the money even if they were sold.
…
Konoha.
“Wonders of life?”
A playful smile appeared on Wang Yan’s face.
A few days ago, if he hadn’t given Gaara a mental suggestion, how could the book-averse redhead have picked up a book on his own?
Without Wang Yan’s intervention, there was no chance Gaara would have touched that book in any of his 13,000-plus future timelines!
This was the true meaning of “a casual act.”
Wang Yan’s primary goal at that time was to harvest Orochimaru’s research data regularly.
Many of Orochimaru’s studies provided significant insights and auxiliary benefits for deepening and broadening Wang Yan’s power.
If Orochimaru didn’t possess such capabilities, how could he hold the top spot among Wang Yan’s current Reincarnation?
…
Half a day later.
Hokage Tower.
Gaara’s sand clone stood before Tsunade, displaying the manners of a well-behaved young man.
As a Sand-Sand Fruit user, his sand clone was a part of his body!
Even a Kage-level powerhouse like Tsunade couldn’t discern any difference between the clone and the original.
Gaara’s relationship with Tsunade grew closer after revealing his identity as a Reincarnator.
They chatted freely, bonding rapidly, almost to the point of addressing each other as siblings.
Seeing the right moment, Gaara brought up his current dilemma.
After all, luring Sasori and Deidara to Konoha was one thing; ensuring he didn’t get killed by them was another…
“For this kind of thing, Jiraiya would be a better choice. He’s more experienced in that area.”
Tsunade pursed her lips, carefully choosing her words, but still left Jiraiya some dignity.
A glint shone in her eyes: “Speaking of ‘eternity and immortality,’ I thought of someone.”
“Oh? Who?” Gaara asked instinctively.
Tsunade covered her mouth and laughed softly: “Karin. A girl from Kusagakure with a tragic past. She was lucky enough to be adopted by the Hyuga clan head as a foster daughter.”
Hearing this name, Gaara immediately pictured her in his mind.
Among the figurines Wang Yan had given him, there was one of “Karin Uzumaki.” She had also appeared in the strongest Chunin Exam in history.
However, Karin Uzumaki’s team performed poorly; in several matches, she was directly killed by her teammates, draining her blood ultimately—tragic indeed.
But now, this girl had become the foster daughter of the Hyuga clan.
Her status had transformed dramatically, instantly elevating her to a significant position in Konoha, and she would never face such dire situations again.
Gaara narrowed his eyes slightly.
After reading the “Fate Scrolls” hidden in each figurine, he realized Karin’s potential, but how did Hiashi Hyuga know about it?
After speaking with Tsunade, he knew that Hiashi Hyuga wasn’t a Reincarnator!
This was peculiar…
Even though the interference from the Main God and Reincarnation had altered many people’s destinies, there was still a certain logic.
Hiashi Hyuga’s actions, however, were utterly illogical!
Suddenly developing a love for talent? Overwhelmed by compassion?
Nonsense!
If Hiashi had such traits, the Hyuga clan would have long declined!
Every major clan head was a master of power and strategy! They might have emotions, but that warmth never extends to an unrelated outsider!
A delicate hand on Gaara’s shoulder interrupted his thoughts.
“Little guy, have you fallen for that girl named Karin?” Tsunade teased, her arm around Gaara’s neck.
Gaara’s face flushed red instantly.
He had never been this close to any girl before.
Not even his sister, Temari!
Seeing the usually composed youngster show such a reaction, Tsunade laughed heartily with mischief.
The saying “the fish rots from the head down” might have some truth.
Wang Yan’s mischievousness was gradually spreading to his Reincarnations.
Or one could say when the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams become even more so.
In any case, it was almost the same.
“Seeing how cute you are, I’ll help you a bit.”
Feeling pleased, Tsunade pressed her index and middle fingers together, lightly touching her temple.
She murmured: “Jiraiya, where are you? Someone’s looking for you.”
Soon, Jiraiya responded: “I’m investigating the background of Ichiraku ?tsutsuki. Talk later!”
Tsunade’s face twisted in disbelief.
