Naruto Taught By Aizen - Chapter 326
“Fierce, incredibly fierce.”
“Not only fierce, but also very realistic.”
“Since you’ve killed your parents before, hahaha, truly worthy of Orochimaru, hahaha!!” Laughter erupted throughout the entire ninja world.
“Laughable, Uchiha Itachi killed his parents, annihilated his clan, and now here, pretentiously acting so tormented, just like Orochimaru said. You’re a hypocrite, as you’ve killed before anyway.”
“Interesting, said it so well, if there’s a chance, I must have a good drink with him.” The Raikage chuckled.
In the Hidden Mist Village:
“Oh my, Orochimaru is quite charming.” Mei Terumi blushed suddenly, unable to help muttering.
“Actually, thinking carefully, Orochimaru possesses powerful research capabilities. From the footage, it’s evident that Orochimaru has contributed significantly behind the scenes in the transformation of Shinigami and Hollows. This shows that a good researcher can greatly reinforce a village.”
“If I could marry Orochimaru, then the Hidden Mist Village’s strength would definitely rise again. If we fully support Orochimaru’s research, the Hidden Mist Village might soon have many forbidden techniques and strong warriors.”
Mei Terumi was calculating in her mind.
?Mei Terumi: Orochimaru, interested in joining the Hidden Mist Village? Let’s get married.?
?Ohnoki: Mr. Orochimaru, we, the Hidden Stone Village, formally invite you to join us. We are willing to provide all resources for your research.?
?Raikage: Hey hey hey, you two, that’s enough. Orochimaru, come to my village, once you’re here, you’re a brother, we’ll provide anything you need.?
?Killer B: Yo yo yo, Orochimaru, come here, yo yo yo.?
Seeing the various invitations to Orochimaru within the chat room, the Leaf Village side immediately turned dark.
If we talk about connections, undoubtedly the Leaf Village has the most connections with Orochimaru.
But the problem is, Orochimaru is a rogue ninja.
“Didn’t expect the future Orochimaru to be so powerful.” Jiraiya couldn’t help but sigh.
“Moreover, according to the descriptions from the souls that returned to the Pure Land earlier, in the future, the Pure Land vigorously develops research. Research not only creates strong warriors but also makes people’s lives more convenient, and trade smoother. The improvements brought by research are comprehensive.”
“If Orochimaru returns to the Leaf Village and fully develops his research capabilities, then in the next ten years, the Leaf Village can definitely produce many strong warriors, and the residents’ lives will be happier.”
“Absolutely cannot let Orochimaru join other ninja villages.”
?Tsunade: Orochimaru, come back to the Leaf Village. Everything has changed now; we’ve uprooted the rotten top leadership. The three of us Kage together will make Leaf better.?
Tsunade appealed emotionally and logically.
Unfortunately, Orochimaru wasn’t swayed.
He only cared about the Pure Land.
“The Pure Land is my primary choice. As for other ninja villages, they’re all destined to be eliminated.”
Countless versions of Orochimaru in parallel worlds held the same belief.
With another surge of Orochimarus joining, the research strength of the Pure Land was once again reinforced.
“Darn it, he’s humiliating me like this!” In the dungeon of eternal darkness, Sasuke watched the footage, his face filled with murderous intent.
Though he couldn’t see the sun from his prison, the footage appeared within his line of sight.
It was considered the only pastime in his life of imprisonment.
From the beginning of the footage until now, Sasuke didn’t know how many times he had been condemned.
Yet until now, he hadn’t repented; instead, he believed that what he did was right.
“Initially, the Uchiha indeed descended into darkness. All I did was to protect Konoha and my brother; everything was out of necessity.”
“Now, the future has changed, the Uchiha survived. This ending is much better than what’s shown in the footage.”
“I won’t regret it. If I were given another chance, I’d still make the same choice. I did it for Konoha, that’s all.” Sasuke thought to himself.
“I don’t care whether people understand or not. I’ll only walk on the path I believe in.”
Sasuke thought so.
“I want to see what kind of ending awaits the me in the footage.”
?Sasuke once again killed his parents, standing dazedly in place, silent for a long time.?
However, there weren’t many who sympathized with him.
“Sasuke is unforgivable; he’s self-righteous and hurts more people under the guise of protection.” Watching, Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fist, speaking in a cold voice.
“I won’t forgive Sasuke. I’ll keep getting stronger; I’ll become the pillar of the Uchiha, no, not just the Uchiha, but also the Leaf. I’ll prove it with my strength, Sasuke’s self-righteousness is meaningless!” Uchiha Sasuke’s words were resounding.
As the battle between Sasuke and Orochimaru ended, the footage once again showed the battles of other strong warriors on the battlefield.
Kakashi, who regained his White Fang’s Jutsu after becoming a Shinigami, suddenly soared in strength, quickly overpowering Tsunade.
?The betrayal of the Sand Village, the Ninja Allied Forces are in danger!?
The subtitles that followed shocked all the ninja villages.
The Sand Village was especially in an uproar.
“Betrayal? Are we betraying?!”
Before the influence of the Great Ninja War, all the ninja villages believed that they would unite this time.
Because the goal of the Pure Land was to overthrow the rule of all ninja villages, the enemy’s enemy is a friend; in order to counter the Pure Land, the unity of the ninja world was necessary.
But who would have expected the appearance of traitors?
Why would the Sand Village betray?
What benefits do they gain from this? Don’t the Kage have control?
The scene changed.
?The new Kazekage, Gaara.?
The Sand Village was in an uproar.
“How is that possible? That monster became the Kazekage?”
“Gaara is the Kazekage?”
Not only the villagers of the Sand Village but even Temari and Kankuro couldn’t believe it.
“I’m the Kazekage?” Gaara was stunned, staring dumbfounded at the image, his eyes showing a hint of disbelief.
He had always been seen as a monster, feared by enemies and villagers alike.
His world had little to no brightness.
He knew that only a ninja recognized by the villagers could become the Kazekage.
Could it really be him?
The scene flickered, showing Gaara being cherished and loved.
Everything seemed surreal.
The monster they had perceived became the cornerstone of the Sand Village in the future.
“Malevolence is never the right way to treat a Jinchuriki, it’s love.” Gaara murmured absentmindedly.
[Shukaku-fied Shuukei appeared in the Sand Village’s camp, opposing the Quiet Shrine alongside the Ninja Alliance.]
[Shuukei had long integrated into the Sand Village, becoming one of its pillars.]
In the image, Shuukei and Gaara fought side by side.
“Gaara: I don’t care about power or positions. All I want is to bring a better life to the villagers. I’m tired of the conflicts between ninja villages. The Quiet Shrine’s appearance showed me the possibility of peace. I’m willing to lead the Sand Village to join the Quiet Shrine, to fight for a new era! After this battle, I’ll resign from the position of Kazekage and become an ordinary Shinigami.”
Gaara’s monologue moved countless residents of the Sand Village to tears.
“So that’s it. The position of the Kazekage isn’t essential. What matters is the people. Gaara’s only goal is to give the villagers a better life. Thus, when the war between the Quiet Shrine and the Ninja World began, he resolutely chose the Quiet Shrine. He knew that the Quiet Shrine could offer the villagers a better life.”
“Actually, the other Kages should understand this. They must be aware of the changes in the Quiet Shrine and the comfortable lives of the residents. Yet, they continue to fight for the existence of the ninja villages.”
“It’s not that they can’t let go of their rights, but they face the fear of the unknown and an instinctive resistance.”
“In this respect, Gaara’s vision and courage have outshone other Kages. He’s undoubtedly the greatest Kazekage in history.”
Gaara’s father, Rasa, was dazed.
He tried to put himself in the original situation but found that he would join other ninja villages to confront the Quiet Shrine. He lacked Gaara’s determination and courage.
What surprised him more was that there was no dissent in the entire Sand Village. All residents trusted Gaara and entrusted their lives to him.
[Gaara did not disappoint the trust of the entire village. In the future, the Sand Village, under his leadership, joined the Quiet Shrine and became one of the happiest areas.]
“This is a conspiracy, an attempt by the Quiet Shrine to divide us,” the Third Hokage angrily commented in the chat room.
The Third Hokage: “Haven’t you noticed? From start to finish, the images depict the darkness of the ninja villages and the utopia of the Quiet Shrine. It’s evident that the Quiet Shrine is preparing to attack us.”
“But those departed souls did enter the Quiet Shrine and witnessed the changes,” a few ninja couldn’t help but interject.
The chat room became somewhat chaotic.
Most expressed a longing for the Quiet Shrine, but die-hard loyalists of the Ninja Villages expressed disgust.
Despite their reactions, the footage continued to play steadily.
The scene from the Sand Village ended, shifting to Nagato.
[Naruto, the strongest of the Shinobi Alliance, was captured by Sasuke.]
In the realm of the Bansho Ten’in, Sasuke appeared.
Below, Nagato immediately sensed an overpowering pressure, to the extent that he couldn’t even muster resistance. The oppression and despair were as exaggerated as a baby facing a physically strong adult.
When the Bansho Ten’in dissipated, the Shinobi Alliance saw the captured strongest ninja, Naruto, completely unharmed.
“The Shinobi Alliance lost this war.”
At that moment, upon seeing Naruto, Sasuke’s rage surged. For him, Naruto was undoubtedly the culprit who led Sasuke down the path of betrayal.
“According to his plan, Sasuke would grow smoothly, although the process would be painful. But ultimately, he would have his own eyes, awaken a new Mangekyo Sharingan, and maybe even surpass the limits of the Sharingan. Sasuke would become the pride of the Uchiha, the foremost among them. But at some point, Sasuke changed. His plans were disrupted. Sasuke no longer took pride in being an Uchiha and even abandoned the name Uchiha.”
“If it weren’t for Naruto, the current Sasuke would surely have the Eternal Mangekyo and fight for Konoha. If it weren’t for Naruto, the current Sasuke would have grown into the strongest, according to his plan!”
Tobi’s anger filled many with anticipation, hoping for an epic battle between him and Naruto.
However, what followed in the footage made their expressions suddenly turn strange.
“I wonder who this is. Turns out, it’s Sasuke’s brother. Are you used to Sasuke’s eyes? Want to become a dog for the Quiet Shrine? If I’m in a good mood, maybe I’ll consider reviving your parents.” The video showed Naruto’s faint smirk, causing many female fans to squeal.
“I must remind you, Naruto-kun, his parents have already departed to the Pure Land for the second time. I personally suggest not causing more trouble for them.” Orochimaru’s words left the audience looking perplexed.
In the dungeon, Sasuke went insane.
“Ah, Orochimaru, I’ll kill you!!!”
Cough Cough It was downright embarrassing for Itachi Uchiha, covering his face.
This massive social death scene could almost crumble his entire mansion.
The ensuing conversation between Naruto and Orochimaru made the atmosphere in the entire ninja world extremely eerie.
“Is Itachi’s brother killing his parents again? Quite a grandeur. I think he’d fit well in the Quiet Shrine.”
“I mean, Fugaku and Mikoto have decent abilities. If they become Shinigami, they’ll be good combatants at the Kage level. But Sasuke might have gotten addicted to killing his parents. I fear he might kill Fugaku and Mikoto, and then we’d lose two Kage-level combatants.”
“Addiction to killing. It’s scary when it’s Sasuke’s brother.”
“Terrifying.” Hearing ‘scary’ from Naruto’s mouth felt completely different.
[Sasuke unleashed his Mangekyo, but it had no effect on Naruto, and he was even directly injured.]
[In the early stages of the Shinobi World War, the Quiet Shrine prevailed.]
With this, the footage concluded.
The war between the Quiet Shrine and the Ninja World ended with the victory of the Quiet Shrine.
Even though the outcome was expected, people’s hearts couldn’t find peace after seeing it firsthand.
The powerful are aided, while the weak are left to fend for themselves.
The footage perfectly illustrated this.
All major ninja villages had their loyalists.
The Quiet Shrine was an emerging country, yet in just a few years, it attracted numerous talents.
Even die-hard loyalists of Konoha turned coat.
Was it really because Kakashi and others were rebels?
After watching the entire footage and understanding the causes and effects, people found it understandable.
Be it the betrayal of the Hatake father and son or the Fourth Hokage and his wife, they were all understandable, logical even.
Trying to put oneself in their shoes would reveal that they might have made the same choices.
“Perhaps, in the face of changing times, the Quiet Shrine is the answer.”
In another dimension.
Having once again gathered some of the Ashura Chakra, Naruto understood that his time to leave was imminent.
The chakra and spiritual pressures within him had started to merge preliminarily. If things went as expected, he would obtain power surpassing that of two worlds, transcending beyond the world.
[Today’s preview: Sasuke, abandoning the Uchiha.]
“Let this be the end. Sasuke, become a pillar of this world.” Naruto’s lips curled slightly.
