"Those two guys just now...... I think that's what we know, those two members of the Akatsuki organization, Naruto? ”
Although there is a relationship between Uchiha Itachi and Orochimaru, he has collected information about the members of the Akatsuki organization, but except for Deidara, after all, Uchiha Sasuke, who has not intersected with any members of the Akatsuki organization other than Uchiha Obito and Kazuki Oni, set his sights on Naruto Uzumaki, waiting for the other party's confirmation and response.
"Ah, the puppeteer who went in front is the Red Sand Scorpion, and the one in the back is the horn of the undead duo...... But how did they end up like this? ”
Naruto Uzumaki's brow furrowed as he recalled the battles that broke out between him and Akatsuki, and his expression couldn't help but become extremely sad.
Unlike Nagato, who finally fell into the darkness because of other people's calculations and indelible pain, and incarnated as "Payne" to bring pain to the world, the two people of Red Sand Scorpion and Kakuto, no matter from any point of view, belong to the kind of evil who has actively fallen into the darkness of the ninja world, and is willing to do it like a fish in water.
Assassinate three generations of Kazekage, destroy a small country with the power of one person, and make a crazy puppeteer Red Sand Scorpion who can use the human puppet of the ninjutsu in his life as a living person;
once fought with the first Hokage, maintained his immortality by taking the hearts of others, and indirectly killed the traitorous ninja Kakudu of Takino Village of Ape Fei Asma;
Naruto Uzumaki didn't think that the two men would wake up and accept the new order set by Kaguya, but he also didn't think that Kaguya would let the standard "ninja" that he would say would only bring destruction and pain to run rampant under his rule.
But the facts are right in front of you.
The Red Sand Scorpion has become a positive character who can attend the so-called Dawn Conference with Queen Loulan, and although Kakuto is a business genius who constantly tramples on the law in order to make money, compared to his development of constantly wandering the underground black market and making money by hunting ninjas and targets that have been rewarded, the current Kakudu can obviously be regarded as a ...... Got a change of heart?
Naruto Uzumaki couldn't figure out whether this was because he had been in a hostile position with these two from the beginning, and he was congenitally prejudiced and didn't really see the characters of the two, or because of ...... What other reason?
Noticing that the two people here showed skeptical expressions, Yahiko, who had nothing to do, took the initiative to lean over and kindly extended a helping hand to the two future people:
"What's wrong, have you encountered something that you can't solve on your own, Uchiha Sasuke, and Naruto Uzumaki?"
Naruto Uzumaki looked at the face that was more mature, reliable, and sunny than the Heavenly Dao Payne he knew, and after taking a deep breath, he asked:
"That...... The two people just now, when did they start to become like this? ”
"Like this?"
Yahiko was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Naruto Uzumaki asked such a question, and then remembering that the other party was a time-traveler from another time and space thirty years later, he immediately showed a sudden expression of enlightenment, and slapped his hands and said:
"You're asking how Scorpion and Horn went from being wanted by the major ninja villages to being an S-class traitor who was wanted by the major ninja villages, to being a serious person who attends the Dawn Conference like now, right?"
"Well, that's pretty much it." Naruto Uzumaki frowned and nodded.
"Pretty much in ...... Well, it was after eight years ago, after the 'Root' organization led by Uchiha Obito launched a series of terrorist attacks and almost created the battle that completely destroyed Konoha, right? ”
Yahiko recalled the information he had learned through Nagato, and said with some emotion:
"To tell you the truth, the Red Sand Scorpion and the Horned Capital at that time were all under the command of the 'Root' organization, and committed the S-level rebellion of the blood eucalyptus against the ninjas of Konoha and Mist Hide.
After hearing from Nagato that the Red Sand Scorpion was defeated by Shisui over there in a heads-up, the Regeneration Core that was the core of the human puppet technique was also sent back to the Fog Hide, and the Kakuto was also captured alive by the Seven Ninja Swords who rushed to the aid of the Konoha Defense, I also thought that they would definitely be executed by the Fog Hide after being squeezed out of all their value as ninjas. ”
"Actually, that's what I thought at the time." The Uchiha Shisui interjected into the conversation, "At least when I saw the Akasha Scorpion's human puppet made from the body of my colleague, I really wanted to kill him completely. ”
“…… So, why did he and Kakudu survive later? It's because ...... Are they of any other value? ”
Uchiha Sasuke narrowed his eyes, recalling how he and Orochimaru had washed away the name of treason they had borne after the Fourth Shinobi War.
"The Red Sand Scorpion is the culmination of the puppet technique of the Sand Hidden Village, and it just so happened that during that time, Lord Mizukage sent me to discuss with the remnants of the Loulan Kingdom about the development of the dragon vein, and learned about the former glory of the Loulan Kingdom and the matter of the Sand Hidden Rebellion and Ninja Lushan that created everything...... Then, Mizukage-sama decided to let the Red Sand Scorpion take over the development of the dragon vein, so as to relieve him of his guilt. ”
"Loulan...... Dragon vein? ”
Naruto Uzumaki covered his head, only feeling as if something was coming out of his mind, he shook his head vigorously, and then asked very suspiciously:
"Is it so reassuring to let the Red Sand Scorpion master the dangerous power of the dragon vein?"
The Uchiha shrugged his shoulders and replied in a somewhat helpless but unquestioning tone:
"Mizukage-sama is naturally relieved...... Because the power of the dragon vein is neither able to move freely, nor is it enough for the Red Sand Scorpion to gain enough strength to resist him, on the contrary, in order to ensure that he can continue to improve the puppet technique to a higher level with the help of the power of the dragon vein, the Red Sand Scorpion needs to abide by the agreement between him and Mizukage-sama, and seriously help the remnants of the Loulan Kingdom to develop the country and undertake the development plan handed over to them by Mizukage-sama. ”
"Today's Loulan is already one of the largest commodity trade centers between the country of wind and the country of fire, and has also become a holy place in the hearts of all puppeteers in the ninja world.
"The Queen of Loulan...... Sarah, does she have no opinion? ”
Naruto Uzumaki blurted out the name that had crept into his mind, with undisguised concern and concern.
"She's one of the core disciples of the Red Sand Scorpion now, right? Hmm, wait a minute......"
The Uchiha Shisui, who had personally experienced the Loulan meeting, seemed to remember something, and cast a thoughtful gaze on Naruto Uzumaki's face.
】
"If I'm not mistaken, when I first approached Queen Sara on behalf of the Mistish, she mentioned your name, Naruto Uzumaki...... And it's still in that tone of concern and concern, I don't know if you have any clue? ”
"Probably because...... An Lushan, I was defeated with my father, who was not a Hokage at the time, and the dragon vein was also resealed by me and my father, right? ”
Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head and generously admitted what he had just remembered for some reason.
"Then I suggest you go and ask Queen Sara herself in person."
Uchiha Shisui patted Naruto Uzumaki on the shoulder, and said to him in a tone of emotion from a passerby: "As a benefactor who saved her, but a traveler from the other side of time, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to meet again in my life, she must have a lot of things to say to you, the savior......"
"Yes, yes?"
"Don't you know when you go?"
"Oh."
Looking at Naruto Uzumaki, who was fooled into entering the embassy alone, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but open his mouth and said to the Uchiha Shisui with a subtle arc on the corner of his mouth:
"Naruto, he already has a family...... I don't think it's good for you to do that. ”
"It's because he has a family that he has to give Queen Sara a chance to say everything at once."
Uchiha Shisui turned around, looked at Uchiha Zuosuke with a pair of red writing wheel eyes, and said:
"Because of the family, Naruto Uzumaki will not agree to Queen Sara's unrealistic request, and it is precisely because he has started a family that Queen Sara can let go of her past obsessions and move forward towards her own tomorrow...... She can't always be allowed to shift her gaze to a child who hasn't done those things because of someone she can't see again. ”
Uchiha Sasuke first showed a puzzled expression, and then his old face turned red, and he instantly realized who the child who had never done anything was what Uchiha Shisui said.
"She, she...... How could she? ”
"Who knows?"
Uchiha Shisui shook his head with the same speechless expression, and continued with an eye-opening expression:
"Before, when she heard that Konoha was almost razed to the ground by the Nine-Tails, and that Uzumaki Kushina, who was Naruto's mother, was also seriously injured and could not stay with Naruto Naruto for a long time, she told Konoha more than once that she could take care of Naruto Naruto by herself temporarily, and she had been hiring people to collect various information about Naruto's life...... I hope this meeting can dispel this strange obsession. ”
"What if you can't?" Uchiha Sasuke asked not optimistically, recalling Naruto's usual personality as he had always been.
"Then let Hokage-sama and Mr. Kushina have a headache," Uchiha Shisui spread his hands, "I'm just a misty ninja who happens to know about this, unlike Mizukage-sama, who can come up with a different solution to everything." ”
"You've fully accepted the fact that you're a Fog Hidden Ninja, Uchiha Shisui."
Somehow, although there was not much to do with Uchiha Shisui, when he heard the other party say in an extremely natural tone that he was a ninja of the fog, Uchiha Sasuke still felt a trace of sourness and unhappiness in his heart.
"Because Mizukage-sama really made me see the possibility of completely changing the ninja world."
It's not that Uchiha Shisuke hasn't listened to Kaguya Ren analyze the problems of the Uchiha clan, and naturally knows why Uchiha Sasuke's somewhat strange tone is coming from now, he reached out and patted Uchiha Sasuke's shoulder, and said calmly:
"Just as you believed Naruto Uzumaki, I chose to believe Mizukage-sama...... This has nothing to do with the position of the village and the clan, it is just my personal judgment, and there is no need to be unwilling or rebellious because of this. ”
"But for Itachi, you're the mentor and brother who inspired him to make those choices," Uchiha Sasuke looked at Uchiha Shisui with a complicated expression, "whether it's in our side of the world, or in your side of the world...... As a person who is regarded as the object of pursuit by the ferret and the pillar of the future by the clan, you have made such a choice, which will affect many clansmen. ”
"But the current world is no longer the world where there is tension between countries and villages, and there is a possibility that a ninja war may break out again at any time because of a misunderstanding, a calculation, or a conspiracy."
Uchiha Shisui stared at Uchiha Sasuke's kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes, and his words were filled with intense confidence.
"We will create a new order, so that the ninja, a profession born of war and intrigue, is no longer the only choice for all those who have chakra, so that the competition between countries and villages can be kept within a controllable and benign scope, so that war will no longer become an eternal cloud over people's heads, so that the right to speak out is no longer just the prerogative of the great powers and ninja villages, and so that ninjas will no longer be blades and tools in the hands of others......"
"A new era has begun, and that's why a guy like Kakuto, who is obsessed with money, can get back on his feet."
Yahiko took over Uchiha's words at the right time, and said to Uchiha Sasuke:
"A new order is being formed, and it is the responsibility and obligation of us pioneers to perfect it as quickly and as well as possible, in other times, Kakuto may indeed be a useless thug, but for the new era of upheaval, he can be a help for those of us who stand under the sun, from the vision of darkness."
This is what Mizukage-sama said, that what each person can achieve depends not only on their personal struggle, but also on the progress of a history...... Although the two people of Kakudu and the Red Sand Scorpion are special cases, for those of you who also have a foundation of peace and need to make new changes, this experience may be useful one day. ”
Uchiha Sasuke didn't answer right away.
But he also did not deny that the era in which he and Naruto lived had reached the point where change was needed.
"Your Dawn Meeting...... Probably, how long will it take for the official opening? ”
"After about ten days, after all, it is an emergency, and it is necessary to leave enough time for the representatives of those small and remote countries to hurry." Yahiko moved his arm and gave a moment with ease.
“…… For this meeting, no matter what kind of attitude they have, it won't actually affect Kaguya's next moves, right? Even then, do you have to wait for them all to arrive? Uchiha Sasuke asked with a subtle expression.
"The Land of Rain used to be an insignificant small country in the eyes of a big country, and the Xiao Organization used to be a small organization that could be destroyed in the eyes of your Konoha at your fingertips."
Yahiko lowered his arm and said word by word to Uchiha Sasuke with a serious expression:
"The war with the Otsuki clan is something that the entire ninja world needs to face together, and even if there is only one place to observe, it is a respect for the people of the small country, and it is necessary for them to develop a sense of identity with our cause......"
"If you think that the fight against the Otsuki clan is just a matter between big countries, then the small country that has been neglected has a high probability of becoming the entry point for the Otsuki clan to understand the ninja world and divide us......
After all, the person who can become the container of the Otsuki clan will not only be born in your five ninja villages, right? For those who are ignored or even ignored, if you can use the power of the Big Barrel Wood Clan to pull down your arrogant powers, how many people do you guess will be willing to take the initiative to become the container for the resurrection of the Big Barrel Wood Clan? ”
