Naruto Taught By Aizen - Chapter 322
“Have we really done wrong?” Heijian asked himself.
But deep down, he already had an answer.
The current situations in both worlds had already presented the most perfect answers.
One was all about suppression, the other was about communication.
A clear distinction.
“So impressive! The Seireitei is truly amazing. If Naruto and we were born in the same period, I’d definitely help him establish the Seireitei,” nonchalant Tobirama said.
Heijian felt a bitter taste within.
He dedicated his whole life to Konoha, from management to research, from research to war, covering almost every field.
The blood, sweat, and tears he poured into maintaining Konoha now seemed so inadequate in comparison.
“Little brother, that’s the difference; they’re professionals.” Tobirama sensed Heijian’s dismay, patting his shoulder casually.
“Old folks like us should enjoy all this now, experience it. I really want to know how special the peace in the Seireitei is. I’ve decided to let go of the past, Heijian,” Tobirama said seriously.
“The development of the ninja world has its destiny. I want to see the scenery of the new era, understand their ideologies. I think it’ll be very interesting.”
The usually foolish Tobirama was exceptionally rational at that moment, his eyes shining brightly.
It was a radiance that Heijian hadn’t seen in a long time.
Everything seemed to go back to the scenes when Tobirama and Hashirama founded the Village Hidden in the Leaves. The radiance in their eyes was just as brilliant then.
“The First Hokage was very enlightened, but we’re different. For us, Naruto is everything,” Minato and Kushina smiled.
“We’ll do our best to become a Shinigami and return to the ninja world to live with Naruto.”
During the conversation, the group had already arrived at their destination.
The Seireitei Academy.
It was bustling with people.
As individuals entered the assessment area, some emerged laughing, while others left in disappointment.
“This is assessing your potential and mentality. Souls with ill intentions towards the Seireitei won’t pass and will be executed,” the Shinigami said.
“But passing this assessment shouldn’t be a problem for you. All of you from the other parallel worlds have passed as well.”
“Really? Then I’m looking forward to it,” Tobirama said with a smile.
Scenes like this had occurred numerous times.
Currently, Naruto had only connected 50 parallel worlds, gradually increasing as the Seireitei settled into its rhythm.
When the Seireitei completed the reception of all potentially talented souls from parallel worlds, its strength would reach an unprecedented level.
The ninja world had been extremely quiet these days, the familiar ‘dead people’ barely speaking in chat rooms.
People knew they had all gone to the afterlife, hoping to become a Shinigami.
Finally, on a certain day, an ordinary soul spoke up.
“The assessment is too difficult. There probably won’t be many who can become Shinigami. I think having ten from one world would be good enough.”
This voice from the soul instantly piqued the curiosity of numerous ninjas.
Ai: “Excuse me, could we talk for a moment?”
Third Hokage: “Ahem, could you share more?”
Tsunade: “Quickly now, is Naruto the founder of the Seireitei?”
Under the bombardment of various chats, the soul felt a bit overwhelmed.
But soon, they replied one by one.
“Guys, take it easy. Let me explain slowly.”
“The Seireitei is the one Naruto established in the anime. The original place was the Land of Ghosts. I’m not sure about the core members inside, but all three legendary ninjas are captains, and even the Fourth Hokage. They say even the Fourth Kazekage from the Sand Village is listed there.”
“I don’t know many specifics, but I do know it’s very peaceful inside. There’s no division of ninja villages or countries; it all belongs to the Seireitei. It’s divided into several areas, like the Leaf Area, Sand Area, etc. There are no Kage; they all listen to the Captain Commander of the Seireitei.”
“There are no clans in the Seireitei; all knowledge is shared. Once you join, you can borrow books for free from the library.”
“I found an interesting point: the popularity of the Shinigami profession isn’t actually that high. Many without the talent to become Shinigami, and even those with the potential, tend to develop into other fields, like research, teaching, agriculture, and so on.”
“They have enlightenment education, teaching languages, math, biology, physics, chemistry, things I don’t really understand.”
“But even the very ordinary people there are very cultured, articulate. Compared to them, I feel like a country bumpkin.”
As everyone read the soul’s sharing, they were deeply moved.
“Is it true that all knowledge is shared? That’s too extreme!”
“Aren’t they afraid of breeding traitors?”
“Moreover, it seems like there’s no encouragement to cultivate combatants in the Seireitei?”
“How will they protect the Seireitei without training combatants?”
“But they don’t seem to need it; the world is unified.”
People exchanged words, all looking astonished.
From the descriptions of that soul, they saw a completely new future they had never stepped into.
“No boundaries between ninja villages and countries; everyone is unified. Can this really be achieved?” A ninja, who had suffered greatly in wars, cried tears and murmured softly.
“Maybe, if it’s Naruto, perhaps it can really happen.” They thought of the unbeatable Naruto in the anime and couldn’t help being moved.
“From Konoha to the Seireitei, Naruto has endured a lot. Leaving the Leaf Village was just the beginning; there will be many difficulties ahead. That makes me even more eager for the previews of the mastermind behind the scenes.” Naruto sighed deeply, his eyes showing a sense of relief.
They were all named Naruto Uzumaki, but the difference was indeed huge.
Naruto had figured it out—why compare oneself to another? He was himself.
Since his future had already been rewritten, it was time to step into a different life.
“I want to be a different Naruto Uzumaki.” Naruto’s eyes carried a hint of hope.
[Today’s Image: Conspiracies in the dark, the beginning and end of the mastermind behind the scenes.]
[Rin has joined the chat room.]
Kakashi: “Rin?! Rin!! Is it you, Rin?!! Why hasn’t Obito joined the chat room?”
Rin: “Kakashi? This is… wasn’t I dead?” As Rin joined, Kakashi’s emotions became quite unstable.
“Rin!!” In a dark corner, Obito’s Sharingan eyes trembled, filled with longing.
His fingers trembled, wanting to express his longing in the chat room.
But years of planning didn’t allow any slip-ups.
He had to hold back.
“Rin, don’t worry. I will create a world where only you exist,” Obito murmured.
A new image slowly unfolded in the sky.
It showed a rainy day, under a gloomy sky, a figure walked slowly.
“Click, clack.” Clear footsteps echoed.
With lightning in the sky, a familiar yet unfamiliar face was revealed.
“Obito? Is this Obito?!” Kakashi exclaimed.
Though the man in the image looked quite different from the young Obito, Kakashi still recognized from the features that it resembled what Obito might look like grown up.
[Mastermind Behind the Scenes, Uchiha Obito.]
The entire ninja world was in an uproar.
“Uchiha Obito? An Uchiha? Who’s this bird-man? He looks quite ordinary,” commented someone not from Konoha.
“How could it be Obito? I remember Obito as a kind-hearted boy,” said a Konoha villager who remembered Obito.
“Impossible?! Could it really be Obito? Obito couldn’t be the mastermind behind this.” Kakashi was on the verge of breaking down, covering his head in disbelief and pain.
He lived in the torment of Obito and Rin’s deaths, blaming himself.
Every time he used that Sharingan, it brought him pain.
Now, to learn that Obito was the mastermind behind everything.
At that moment, Kakashi’s expression was extremely vivid.
“What was Obito planning? Could it be related to Rin’s death?” Kakashi murmured.
After a moment, he seemed to remember something and immediately left a message in the chat room.
Kakashi: “Obito, I know you’re here, come out!”
“Hmph, Kakashi.” Obito looked coldly at the chat room, snorted, and didn’t respond.
“I didn’t expect this image to expose me. Well, let me see if my plan has succeeded.” Obito muttered softly.
But deep down, he knew that the plan was likely ninety-nine percent a failure.
He wanted to see how it failed and learn from the lessons of failure.
“How could it be Obito? It’s impossible.” Minato Namikaze couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
Obito was his student.
In his memory, Obito was a kind boy who couldn’t even harm a bug.
“Is the image mistaken? Anyone can betray, but not Obito,” even Jiraiya expressed doubt.
“If the image is accurate, then something must have happened to Obito,” Minato’s gaze turned cold. “Someone must have influenced and manipulated the innocent Obito to become the mastermind behind this.”
In the image, Obito’s face was expressionless, but his eyes were filled with sadness.
“Rin,” a whisper echoed throughout the entire ninja world.
The scene unfolded slowly.
[The Past.]
The past Obito was carefree and a bit clueless.
And his comrade, Kakashi Hatake, was a renowned genius of Konoha.
One was cheerful, the other stoic.
It was like Naruto and Sasuke.
The scene shifted.
[Uchiha Obito and Hatake Kakashi graduated from the ninja academy. They formed a team with Rin, their teacher being the future Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.]
Compared to other ninjas, they were at the pinnacle from the start.
With a future Fourth Hokage guiding them, their prospects were limitless.
And the following images proved one thing.
Regardless of the task, they almost always succeeded.
However, among these tasks, Kakashi stood out the most. Obito and Rin were more like participants.
As time passed, Obito made significant progress, no longer the weak ninja, making commendable contributions to their missions.
[God’s Bridge Destruction Mission, Obito’s death.]
[During the Third Great Ninja War, near the God’s Bridge in the territory of Iwagakure, there was a significant enemy presence.]
[Due to the stretched frontline, Konoha’s forces were struggling, at a disadvantage in many key battlefields.]
[Newly promoted Jonin Hatake Kakashi, along with Chunin Rin and Obito, fell into an ambush while carrying out a destruction mission. Eventually, Obito was buried under rubble, and luckily, the late arriving Jonin Minato Namikaze saved the remaining members.]
[In this battle, Obito entrusted his Sharingan to Kakashi.]
[The Copy Ninja, Hatake Kakashi, was born.]
Up to this point, the reason behind Obito’s transformation hadn’t appeared.
The portrayal in the image tended to be more positive.
[Uchiha Madara saved Obito, granted him a new life, and wanted Obito to become the mastermind behind the scenes.]
[After the God’s Bridge mission, Rin was tagged with a seal by Uchiha Madara in her heart, becoming the Jinchuriki of the Three-Tails to destroy Konoha. As a Jinchuriki couldn’t harm themselves, Rin pleaded with Kakashi to destroy her heart to protect Konoha and eventually chose to die under Kakashi’s Chidori.]
[Obito, witnessing all this, collapsed. He understood the cruelty and despair of this world, leading to his corruption and becoming the mastermind behind everything.]
“Is this the reason for Obito’s transformation? He must have cared deeply for that girl named Rin,” Tsunade sighed. “This is the cruelty of war. That’s why everyone detests war.”
Tsunade thought of her brother, Nawaki.
He died in a war.
“Life is short, war is cruel, that’s why we seek eternal life,” Orochimaru couldn’t help but comment.
“Human beings are complex creatures. Despite abhorring war, they repeatedly initiate it. Humans are destined to walk the path to extinction.”
“Although humans experience pain, they don’t understand it, don’t fear it. Because they haven’t felt enough pain,” Nagato said coldly.
“What happened to Obito isn’t an isolated case. In war, there are countless examples like this. War can easily distort a person.”
“It’s a tragedy, and it’s inevitable.”
Rin: “Obito, please don’t be like this. I’m really worried about you. Are you there? Can you say something?”
“Hmph, you all don’t understand my pain.”
Seeing Rin’s message in the chat room, Obito really wanted to reply with a sentence.
But he held back.
For the future, for Rin, he couldn’t reveal himself like this.
He deeply believed.
All the misunderstandings would be understood later.
[Obito’s Plan.]
The image continued.
[Due to Rin’s death, Obito came to hate the villages and the ninja.]
Obito’s goal: To execute the Eye of the Moon Plan, eliminate all ninja, revive Rin, and create a world with Rin.]
