Naruto Taught By Aizen - Chapter 324
After countless changes in parallel worlds, more and more Naruto Uzumaki’s have started offering their inner Asura Chakra to Naruto.
“Almost collected enough,” in an alternate space, Naruto’s expression remains calm.
“After this Great Ninja War ends, the Asura Chakra collected should be sufficient to transform into my own Chakra, matching the spirit pressure. I can merge and use it.”
“Only one step remains until the final goal,” Naruto sighs, looking at the projections of thousands of worlds, his gaze flickering.
With the playing of the images, his time to leave completely is drawing nearer.
He’s not a creature without emotions, naturally feeling reluctance.
From plotting everything to achieving everything, every action was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
“I wonder how it is in the Shinigami world? Has Mr. Aizen achieved his goal?” Naruto thinks.
“After the fusion is complete, I’ll pay a visit.”
Naruto believes that Aizen can easily accomplish his goal; everything in the Shinigami world is under his control.
In the world of Dead Naruto:
“Why did Naruto Uzumaki suddenly erupt with such immense power and speed?” The higher-ups in Konoha engage in heated discussions due to Naruto’s Dead Naruto Mode.
“Could this be Naruto Uzumaki’s Kekkei Genkai? Neither Tobirama nor Kushina had such a Kekkei Genkai.”
“Could it be the Nine-Tails’ ability?”
“It’s impossible; the Nine-Tails is sealed securely.”
“Regardless, Naruto Uzumaki’s worth protecting now.”
“And the amplification of that mode is strong. Even if Naruto Uzumaki isn’t the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, his potential is unlimited.”
“But after using that ability, he’s considerably weakened. Let’s not control his expenses during this time. Let him eat some good food,” the Third Hokage muses.
“Now is the time for him to grow, no more eating instant ramen; I’ll have the ANBU send some quality ingredients,” Kakashi adds.
Even Naruto Uzumaki himself hasn’t realized that, due to a twist of fate, his life has improved significantly.
A new set of images is about to start.
As the black screen in the sky begins to shine, those who were busy immediately stop their work and look up to the sky together.
“The Great Ninja War begins, Akatsuki vs. Ninja Alliance.”
“All major ninja villages united, abandoning all differences, entrusting their backs to each other. This time, they fight for the ninja world.”
“The horn to subdue the Akatsuki has been sounded; all ninja are lined up, ready to go to the Akatsuki. No clan has any privileges; everyone must go to battle.”
“Their foreheads no longer bear the insignia of their original villages but have become unified as ‘Ninja.'”
“The Akatsuki organization has also joined the ranks of the Ninja Alliance.”
It’s hard to imagine that the ninja villages, who were previously at odds and wished to tear each other apart, would gather together and fight back to back.
The audience is deeply moved.
Truly, only when faced with a common enemy will the ninja villages be forced to unite.
Subsequently, the scenes from the side of the Akatsuki appear.
Quite surprisingly, the lineup of their top experts has grown once again.
“Haku?!” Calls of surprise erupt from Konoha, with Kakashi particularly shocked.
Why would his deceased father join the Akatsuki?
The scene shifts to depict moments from Haku’s resurrection.
“Konoha’s Haku, persuaded by Kakashi, decides to abandon the past and fight for the Akatsuki.”
Recently reborn as a Shinigami, Haku is perplexed, torn between loyalty to Konoha and uncertainty about the future.
The images then play out Haku’s experiences.
In one mission, he chose to bring back a comrade, abandoning the task.
But under Root’s manipulation, villagers expressed their confusion, questioning why Haku abandoned the mission.
Did he forget the principles of a ninja? Even the comrade rescued by Haku was filled with reproach, blaming Haku for saving them.
Under immense pressure from various sides, Haku remained in a constant state of despair.
Originally, Root only wanted to use this opportunity to severely damage Haku’s reputation, thus ending any possibility of becoming Hokage. However, they never anticipated the power of rumors to drive Haku to suicide.
From that day on, Konoha’s strength suffered an epic decline once again.
When it comes to weakening Konoha, Danzo will never disappoint.
The spectators in the ninja world were tired of cursing Danzo as they knew no matter how much they cursed, Danzo would never feel remorse.
From Danzo founding Root to now, apart from gathering intelligence, most of it has been destroying Konoha.
The vast Konoha is on the brink of ruin.
Apart from Haku, the images also briefly showcased the lives of the Missing-Nin Zabuza and Haku.
Concise and poignant, it leaves people sighing.
“Zabuza, have you fallen?” Mei Terumi gazes at Zabuza, roaring angrily.
“This is a scene before Zabuza and Mei Terumi’s battle,” the audience quickly grasps the timeline.
“It feels like a tough battle; even if Naruto doesn’t show up, the Ninja Alliance won’t fight here.”
“You can’t say that; the Ninja Alliance has Six Paths of Pain. The Six Paths of Pain alone can destroy the entire Konoha. In a face-to-face ultimate battle, the top experts play an essential role.”
“But Naruto, who can stand against the Six Paths of Pain, isn’t here with the Ninja Alliance.”
“But isn’t that Nagato controlling the Six Paths of Pain? Look how the surrounding ninjas respect him.”
The ninjas discuss animatedly, and the Akatsuki organization currently watching feels an eerie atmosphere.
“So, Pain isn’t the real leader.”
“The real leader looks very weak; that’s why Pain is used to represent.”
“Our Akatsuki organization is actually united with the Ninja Alliance in that world.”
Despite most members being Missing-Nin, they still feel a certain sense of belonging to the Akatsuki organization.
Now that they know Pain’s true identity, many feel a sense of deception.
“All this is part of a plan, Nagato has reasons,” Konan tries to persuade, but is met with rebuke from several people.
“We don’t even know the true face of the leader; how can we trust them?”
“It’s possible even the organization’s purpose is false.”
“How can we stay in an organization like this?”
The entire Akatsuki organization is on the verge of collapse.
Luckily, the images continue to play, and everyone stops arguing, earnestly focusing on the screen in the sky.
“Why war? Everyone could have lived peacefully.” Sakura, with a sorrowful expression, asks the question that countless people have in their hearts.
“From Naruto to Sasuke, and finally to Kakashi.
Team 7 has practically ceased to exist.
But she still hopes, as Naruto holds secrets difficult to express.
Misunderstandings may be resolved later.
Unlike Sakura’s innocence, Hinata Hyuga appears calm, her face wrapped in white cloth.
That cold demeanor makes countless people look askance.
[As Naruto said, nobody likes war, but they’re forced into it. A ninja’s life is sorrowful, as is the sorrow of this era.]
[Only when an all-encompassing force appears, all rules are overturned, can the ninja world truly embrace peace, and the ninja can find redemption.]
[For the Gotei 13, this is an unending war, and through this brief agony, they will reshape the world’s rules. Instead of prolonged suffering, they prefer short-term pain. The current ninja world is full of misunderstanding, but the Gotei 13 believes that once they control everything, humanity will understand the blessings they bring to the ninja world.]
[For the ninja world, the Gotei 13 are invaders. They’ve intruded into what they believe is their peaceful life, attempting to overthrow their control over the villagers. In their understanding, the current ninja villages are in a delicate balance; due to the restrictions of each village, war is impossible. They believe that peace in a situation of multiple opposing forces is the so-called peace. And the Gotei 13 are invaders disrupting that peace.]
“Yes, there isn’t really right or wrong, just different perspectives.” As they say, bystanders see clearly.
The viewers from the ninja world have been following the images from the beginning, witnessing Naruto’s change in attitude and the decay of the ninja villages along with the Gotei 13’s ambitions.
They don’t dare express absolute support for either side, nor can they affirm that the Gotei 13 will definitely bring real peace.
Because wasn’t it for real peace that the ninja villages were founded initially? People are just too complicated. As time passes, everything pure gradually decays.
Even if the Gotei 13 takes control of the ninja world, so what? No one can guarantee that the Gotei 13 won’t become a second ‘ninja village’ in the future.
“I support the Gotei 13,” a civilian suddenly speaks up.
“The current situation is too difficult for us civilians. No pain, no gain. I hope the Gotei 13 can change everything.”
“Yes, peace exists only among the ninja villages. People like us from these smaller nations struggle just to survive. Who can be sure that our countries won’t be invaded when we wake up the next day?”
“At the root, it’s a world of survival of the fittest.”
“Before, the spirits told us that under the Gotei 13’s rule, the ninja world has displayed a different vitality—equality among beings, shared knowledge—something we’ve never imagined.”
All the high-ranking officials in the ninja villages helplessly realize that the Gotei 13 has gained the people’s deep affection.
After the images play out, the ninja villages’ wrongdoings are exposed.
No exaggeration, yet it’s heart-wrenching.
“If, hypothetically, the Gotei 13 and our ninja world go to war, what choice would you make?” Seeing this, Tsunade couldn’t help but ask Jiraiya.
“The old me would resist, but now…” Jiraiya fell silent for a long time before replying, “I’d like to go to the Gotei 13 to see and then decide.”
“Hasn’t the glory of Konoha vanished?” Tsunade taunted.
“Glory?” Jiraiya wore a bitter expression.
“Do you think there’s still glory in Konoha now?” he retorted.
Both fell into silence.
“So, Konoha needs you, needs a new Hokage, needs someone everyone can trust,” Jiraiya glanced at Tsunade.
“Since we all know about Konoha’s darkness, let’s not evade it anymore. Let’s face it together and change everything.”
“Don’t you pursue your Prophecy’s Child?” Tsunade asked.
“Naruto Uzumaki is the Prophecy’s Child,” Jiraiya stated with conviction.
“I’ll be his teacher, guiding him onto a completely different path.”
At this moment, the battle in the images is about to begin.
After the buildup of the previous atmosphere, the tragic mood of a regular battle is taken to its extreme.
[In this battle, Naruto hasn’t arrived yet, but the Gotei 13’s lineup is just as powerful as the ninja world alliance.]
At a command, all Shinigami retreat, and the Hollows behind them rush toward the ninja world alliance like starving wolves.
In the scene, humanoid Hollows rush madly towards the ninja alliance.
Colorful ninja arts fly in the sky, continuously hitting the Hollows.
With each Hollow defeated, more emerge, rushing into the ninja alliance, causing widespread slaughter.
Each Hollow possesses abilities equal to at least Chunin level and is nearly immune to conventional weapons.
Even basic ninja arts can’t harm them.
The Hollows entering the ninja alliance are akin to wolves among sheep, everywhere filled with cries of battle and lament.
“Just as expected, Hollows are indeed weapons of war.” The viewers can’t help but sweat for the ninja world alliance.
But as the ninja alliance’s elite forces join the battle, the previously dire situation is suddenly stabilized.
Though the Hollows are tricky, they’re still no match for Jounin level and above.
With the addition of Akatsuki members, the Hollows face a definitive defeat.
“Art is an explosion.” Deidara’s clay bombs play a significant role in the war.
“That’s Deidara!” Onoki’s eyes flickered with complex emotions.
Deidara was supposed to become the Tsuchikage but stubbornly pursued some sort of art.
In the end, he chose to betray the village.
Geniuses are truly hard to understand.
In the footage, Itachi Uchiha also captivates the audience.
Just a glance from him, and countless Hollows foolishly freeze in place, eventually dying.
“After obtaining Sasuke’s eyes, Itachi’s power has grown to unimaginable levels.” This truly prompts deep sighs.
Thinking he had everything calculated, Itachi ended up not just replacing Sasuke at the top of the Uchiha but also becoming the Uchiha’s revival.
“By the way, where’s Sasuke?”
Countless people are puzzled about Sasuke’s whereabouts.
Neither in the Gotei 13’s lineup nor the ninja world alliance is Sasuke’s presence seen.
Did he die??
[The elites of the ninja world alliance confront the elites of the Gotei 13.]
In the scene, members of the Akatsuki head towards Kakashi and others.
Deidara and Sasori are the first to approach Haku.
Both were once from the Mist Village and both wielded large blades.
Suiren directly holds back Raikage and Onoki.
Byakka and Kakashi detain the remaining three Kage.
A few Arrancars confront Konan, other Akatsuki members, and Jinchuriki.
Might Guy and Rock Lee confront their master.
Orochimaru actively seeks out Itachi, the one who had once made him feel ashamed, while Tobirama faces Pain.
[Orochimaru vs. Itachi, the entanglement between Orochimaru and Itachi.]
As this subtitle appears, the ninja world erupts in excitement.
“Orochimaru and Itachi’s duel?”
“The Mad Scientist and the evolved Sharingan Itachi, what do you think the result will be?”
“Of course, it’s Itachi.”
“Itachi.” Sasuke looks at the screen with complex feelings, sighing.
“Sasuke, get stronger. Only then can you save Itachi.” Hagoromo sighed, whispering softly.
After the revelation of everything about Itachi in the footage, Itachi was forced into prison and can no longer see the light.
