Naruto Taught By Aizen - Chapter 323
Entering the established Silent Spirit Court.
[The Leaf Rogue Ninja established the Silent Spirit Court on the territory of the Land of Ghosts, taking Madara to gather intelligence.]
[Madara Uchiha was discovered.]
[Tobirama vs. Madara Uchiha]
In the scene, Madara is almost instantly discovered upon entering the Silent Spirit Court.
Tobirama executes Zanpakuto, freezing the entire area. In this domain, Madara cannot use Susanoo to escape.
“How is this possible? This sword actually restrains me like this?” Madara Uchiha stares fixedly at the screen, unable to believe it.
[In the Mei Terumi domain, as long as spiritual pressure exists, Tobirama can create techniques out of nowhere, achieving spatial jumps.]
[This also means that within the domain, Flying Thunder God is almost unrestricted.]
“This ability is too overpowered.”
“Madara Uchiha also has the Mangekyo Sharingan. How can he be so helpless against Zanpakuto?”
“Is this what Naruto referred to as the limit of the eyes?”
This battle widened the eyes of the ninja.
It made more people yearn for the power of the Shinigami.
[After several attempts, Madara Uchiha realized he couldn’t deal with the opponent at all, and he couldn’t even leave the domain.]
[At this moment, Naruto appears.]
In the scene, Naruto easily breaks through the Mei Terumi domain and strolls in.
His relaxed demeanor dumbfounds everyone.
In past images, Naruto was more subdued.
After the defection, Naruto’s demeanor underwent a tremendous change.
This is the first appearance after the defection.
So confident, so imposing.
“Masked man, orchestrating the Night of the Nine-Tails, attempting to control the world? Can you talk to me about your dreams?”
[Naruto walks leisurely towards Madara, the pressure he brings causing Madara’s chakra to almost condense.]
With the deep red earth and sky as the background, Naruto’s pressure reaches its peak.
Even the audience’s breath feels as if it’s being crushed by a mountain, immensely difficult.
“Impressive to leave Konoha, defeat numerous Kage-level opponents, Uzumaki Naruto, it seems I underestimated you.”
“But trying to keep me here won’t work.”
[Madara Uchiha’s Mangekyo Sharingan spins madly, preparing to use Susanoo to escape.]
However, Naruto simply reaches out, and Madara finds himself easily pulled out of the alternate space by Naruto, thrown down effortlessly.
Madara in the scene becomes furious and uses various ninja techniques against Naruto.
Among them, there are well-known fire techniques like “the Unquenchable Flames.”
[Madara Uchiha, captured.]
[Tobirama wants to uncover the truth behind Madara’s corruption.]
[Tobirama always believed that Madara, the least Uchiha-like Uchiha he taught, was the proudest of having Madara as a disciple who upheld the concept of protection until the end. But now, everything he sees is challenging his understanding of the past.]
[The Madara he saw as a disciple appeared in an extremely unfamiliar manner before him.]
[Of the three disciples he had, one died, one defected, and his son also defected. Throughout his life, he protected Konoha but failed to protect those around him. To make the once passionate Madara become like this, Madara must have endured a lot.]
[Tobirama’s eyes are filled with sadness.]
[Seeing this, Naruto steps back, giving room for the reunion of the master and disciple.]
[After some casual conversation, Tobirama asks his inner guess, “You became like this because of Rin, right?”]
“Shut up! You have no right to mention Rin!”
“What joke is this?! I was directly captured? My Susanoo didn’t work at all? How can Naruto be so powerful?” Watching, Madara Uchiha’s pupils suddenly shrink, unable to contain his surprise.
He pants heavily, his pupils dilated.
His strength is definitely not weak, and his ability to disappear and reappear has been his reliance to become the mastermind behind the scenes.
All along, he regarded everyone as pawns, yet in that world, he was effortlessly captured.
“Sigh. All because of a woman,” the audience couldn’t help but sigh.
Humans are complex because they have emotions.
Madara Uchiha’s life is undoubtedly tragic. He silently loved Rin but watched Rin die by the hands of his best friend.
This kind of corruption is deeply lamentable.
“Ah, actually, Madara is quite pitiful. The Fourth Hokage will probably persuade him nicely.”
“Let Madara return to the right path.”
“The past is the past. Can’t Rin be turned into a Shinigami? Maybe this is the opportunity for Madara to join the Silent Spirit Court.”
“The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, has always been kind, so he will definitely plead with Naruto.”
The audience expressed their guesses, but the development of the footage surprised everyone.
“Madara, our goal in the Silent Spirit Court is to rule the ninja world. If someone obstructs, we will naturally sweep them away, so… our positions are different. I think you will understand,” Tobirama said as he lifted the knife in his hand.
[Such decisiveness was completely unexpected for Madara.]
He also understood.
Tobirama had changed too.
[Madara wanted to escape but was directly pressed down by Tobirama’s Rasengan.]
“My disciple, next time you reincarnate, remember, don’t rely on your eyes.”
The Fourth in the footage feels incredibly unfamiliar yet thrilling.
[At a critical moment, Naruto stops Tobirama.]
In the scene, Madara is so powerless, like a lamb waiting silently for the judgment of the two.
Afterward, Naruto devised a new plan. They bind Madara with B?ryoku and seal his chakra.
[In Konoha. Orochimaru and Tobirama bring Madara to Konoha. As representatives of the Silent Spirit Court, they present Madara’s body and eyes, and the price is to have Orochimaru instruct Sasuke.]
Thus, the screen flickers once again, reaching the conclusion.
[The death of Madara.]
In the prison cell, Kakashi slowly enters, looking at Madara expressionlessly.
The screen flashes.
[Madara has been cut into a stick.]
[Konoha didn’t show any mercy to the traitor, directly extracting all of Madara’s value.]
[Two former good friends, separated by the cell, harboring complex emotions.]
“I’m leaving, Madara. I won’t dwell on the past anymore. I want to look forward. If you detach yourself from the past, maybe we’ll meet again.” Kakashi, who has experienced death once, has an epiphany. He will fight for his beliefs. From that moment on, he decides to join the Silent Spirit Court.
“What are you saying? Don’t leave. Explain it to me!”
“What do you mean by ‘not dwelling on the past’? You can’t just write off the past.” Everyone is sunk in the past, all have experienced sadness. However, Kakashi’s awakening now brings a sense of humiliation to Madara. Did he forget Rin like that? Did he forget that he killed Rin with his own hands?
“Former friends took divergent paths, with one embracing a new way while the other remained fixated on the past, ultimately sinking into the abyss.
The fate of Tobi: Death in prison.
Next episode preview: The Great Ninja War begins, with the Akatsuki vs. the Ninja Alliance.
As the images slowly fade, many are left wanting more. The episode left too many unanswered questions:
- What experiments are being conducted using Tobi’s body in Konoha?
- Why did Kakashi betray them? What does it mean that he died once before?
- Did Orochimaru and Tobirama come to Konoha only to deliver Tobi and teach Sasuke?
- The Akatsuki couldn’t possibly be so benevolent!
There are too many unknowns lingering in their minds, awaiting resolution. It feels like the climax of a show abruptly cut off, leaving an itch in their hearts.
The next preview heightens anticipation: The clash between the Akatsuki and the Ninja Alliance.
How dare they?!
However, the Akatsuki daring to wage war against the entire ninja world signifies their considerable power.
“I never expected Tobi to die like that. The Fourth was really ruthless.”
“Exactly, I thought the Fourth would try to reason with him.”
“Those who achieve great things must be ruthless. This marks the Fourth’s severance from the past.”
“What charm does the Akatsuki have to attract so many members?”
“I think it’s the charisma of Naruto-sama. His words in the skies above Konoha really struck a chord with me.”
“Defying all hatred, standing against everything, overthrowing all rules—that’s the only way to establish a peaceful ninja world.”
“With Naruto-sama’s charisma, he can easily attract a large group of loyal followers.”
“Why did Tobi turn out this way? Why did I become like that? Have I truly left Konoha?” Kakashi’s mind is in turmoil after watching the images, feeling extremely complex.
The previous footage hinted at Kakashi possibly defecting from Konoha in the future. Now, his life is undoubtedly affected by this revelation. Even walking the streets, he faces whispers and stares.
But what’s even harder for him to accept is everything about Tobi. His former friend didn’t die but transformed into a cold-blooded, cruel entity. He even orchestrated the Nine-Tails incident.
“Tobi, can you come out and meet me?” he murmurs to himself.
For Rin, this is undoubtedly the greatest social death event in her life. She was just an innocent girl who died protecting Konoha. Yet, after death, she unexpectedly became a ghost and joined the chat room, communicating with many of her former friends.
The images playing in the sky draw attention, involving her and making this once ordinary girl the center of everyone’s focus. She became the obsession that drove Tobi’s descent into darkness.
“A calamity caused by a woman’s beauty.”
“A plain girl with no figure, yet Tobi was so enamored with her.”
“Setting aside facts, if she could captivate Tobi so much, there must be something about Rin.”
“In the face of an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. Honestly, with so many issues in Konoha, most of it’s their own problem.”
Feeling aggrieved by the mockery, Rin couldn’t bring herself to continue speaking in the chat room after the footage played. She just wanted to escape this place, even if it meant eternal death.
Tobi shares the same social death fate. After seeing the footage and the ninja’s comments, his heart is filled with shame and anger.
“Uchiha Obito, this pawn is quite ineffective,” remarks Uchiha Madara with a cold gaze.
Honestly, Obito’s displayed abilities met his requirements. However, the influence of the Akatsuki is too terrifying, even leading to the disappearance of wielders of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
“The Moon’s Eye Plan doesn’t seem very successful now. Maybe I should pay a visit to the Akatsuki,” Uchiha Madara thinks.
“I never knew the Obito in that world was this miserable,” Boruto interjects, unable to contain his feelings.
“I remember he helped us back then,” calmly states Uchiha Sasuke.
“Yeah, if it weren’t for him, we might have been killed by Kaguya.”
“What’s your take on the Akatsuki?” Uchiha Sasuke suddenly asks.
“The ideology sounds good, but whether it can be realized is uncertain. Our ninja world is already peaceful. Maybe the Akatsuki will eventually achieve genuine peace, but I’m satisfied with our current ninja world,” confidently asserts Naruto: “Perhaps the Akatsuki will ultimately bring about a real and lasting peace. But I’m content with our present ninja world.”
“That’s because of your and my influence, as well as the good relationship between the Kage of each village and you. When this generation of Kage steps down and when you and I grow old, the ninja world will undergo changes,” Uchiha Sasuke ruthlessly says.
“Our current peace isn’t permanent, Naruto. If the Akatsuki’s ideology can be implemented, it could ensure peace for over a hundred years, maybe even a thousand. The lifespan of a Shinigami is immeasurable,” continues Uchiha Sasuke.
“By cooperating with Orochimaru, Naruto achieved a spiritual evolution, prolonging his life. This extends the duration of their rule.”
“And they overturned all the rules of the major clans and ninja villages, aiming for equality and open knowledge. Do you think this lifestyle is more desirable than ours here?”
Listening to Uchiha Sasuke’s words, Naruto falls silent.
In all aspects, they are far behind the Akatsuki.
“So, we have to work even harder,” Naruto smiles foolishly: “Because everything about us is still immature, we have to strive to make Konoha better.”
“Let’s try to fade the prominence of our clans and let more people receive education,” Naruto asserts confidently.
“We can do it. Konoha will become better, and peace will endure!”
“You’re such an annoying idiot,” Uchiha Sasuke relaxes: “I’ll send Itachi to the Akatsuki.”
“I got in touch with him a few days ago. Through Itachi, we can gain a deeper understanding of the Akatsuki, providing a reference for modifying our rules,” Uchiha Sasuke explains seriously.
“Have you reconciled with Itachi?” Naruto asks in surprise.
“There was never any hatred. It was just his assumptions and self-righteousness. It’s been decades; what hatred could there still be?” Uchiha Sasuke smiles in relief: “Now, we all just want to make Konoha better.”
“Haha, then I’ll tell my old man to also go to the Akatsuki and understand them,” Naruto laughs heartily.”
