Pakura: I Just Made the Same Mistake All Women Make.

Stop recommending lolitas to me!

You guys, how come you're all the same as the system, wishing for my harem to explode!

-Really, he just forced a loli on Kakashi, and now it's his turn to be forced.

"Hey, be serious."

Where the Minister of Finance didn't know what Makoto was thinking, even from his personal point of view, he knew that having Hokage marry a princess of the Land of Fire instead was something very inappropriate - after all, it would mean breaking the alliance with Suna.

But this wasn't something he was pimping, it was a political mission issued by the Daimyo himself.

While he had certainly risen to the top, he also had to think about the younger generation in his family.

Therefore even though Makoto placed his hands on his chest with a da baa face, he licked his face and continued to sell on the basis of his familiarity with both sides.

"Oh huh."

"In the past, but to be zhumen to vermilion gates, bamboo gate to bamboo gate, the Princess married down is a rare grace ..."

T/N: 'zhumen', translate to 'vermilion gates' (which is not exactly correct), is a red gate in mansions of princes and nobles to show their nobility, which later generally referred to wealthy families; which bamboo gates are simple wooden doors

"Well, we are all our own people - Daimyo's mind, I can't guess. But if the Daimyo has opened his mouth, he must have his own plans. In this case, consider yourself giving me face. Let Her Highness tour Konoha for a while first, and keep her company a little when you have time."

"This way you can account for it, I can account for it, and Her Highness the Princess has something to say about it... After all, it's not a full-fledged princess, it won't be a good time in there..."

Naho-hime obviously couldn't understand what the adults were thinking, but when she went out, she should have been instructed in advance by her female elders. Therefore when Makoto looked at her, she did her best to show a cute smile.

...So cute that it was a little close to pleasing.

...Why does this technique look so familiar, isn't it the one he just used against Kakashi...

Makoto already knew the attitude and strategy of the Daimyo from his subordinates, and innately did not like this princess highness too much.

But he also knew that this matter genuinely had nothing to do with this princess highness.

She was just a child who knew nothing, and then had her fate arbitrarily decided by the adults and carried to Konoha.

It is neither necessary nor in good taste to take it out on her, but it is always ... better to just keep her around.

As a Kage, sometimes it was time to be ruthless.

In the end, it was Pakura who spoke up.

"Koyuki-himesama has been alone in Konoha lately, and has been quite bored. Now that Naho-himesama has come over, it's just as well that there are multiple playmates on both sides."

...Koyuki was the hell bored, this guy rely on their own is the princess, no one can control, every day kicking the garbage can, read teenage girl manga, eat all kinds of messy street snacks, are almost become Konoha famous street sneak...

However, Pakura is, after all, the diplomat of Suna, and in the absence of her father-in-law, she can fully represent Suna. Since she had opened her mouth like this, Makoto could not refuse.

Makoto sniffed the faint sweet fragrance coming from Pakura's body, and couldn't help but soften his heart.... What about the future will say, let's get through this first.

"Since Pakura-san opened her mouth, so be it."

"Haha, the two princesses are close in age, so they must be very good playmates..."

... ...

With that, Naho-hime temporarily stayed in Konoha.

The Minister of Finance sat in the ball for a little while, and then excused himself on the grounds that he was not feeling well.

Makoto, on the other hand, danced with Pakura down the hall, and then similarly excused himself, leaving the time and venue to the younger people.

Because his mind was on the Land of Fire's attitude towards Konoha, Makoto had little recollection of the entire dance.

While the dance steps were bouncing around, what was going through his head was the future of Konoha. Later on, when he recalled it, there was only the ghostly dark fragrance, and Pakura... was very moist.

Even through the shirt, Makoto can still feel a little bit of slippery fingertips.

After hastily leaving from the ball, the two did not say a word and directly rushed to the Hokage office.

There, the Minister of Finance was already waiting for him.

For once, the two sides were finally able to talk business.

Makoto poured tea for the two.

"For a Pure Blue World..." The Minister of Finance looked at the plaque in Hokage's office, as well as a couplet, and seemed to be interested, "Averse to leaving the Filthy Earth, glad to seek the Pure Land... Does Hokage-sama also understand the wonderful meaning of Buddhism?"

"Slightly, slightly. It's just an idle scribble, so I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"Originally so..." after a simple courtesy, also can be regarded as an old acquaintance of the Minister of Finance began to say some private personal words, "everyone is a person who understands, the Daimyo's mind I do not dare to guess. But right now there is one thing, nowadays in the dynasty really only adults can do well."

"Please speak frankly, Your Excellency."

"Heh heh heh, you..."

The Minister of Finance laughed and gave Makoto a few false points with the folding fan in his hand.

"You are truly a genius at pretending to be confused."

"What else could it be, of course it's that matter of the undersea tunnel. I wouldn't dare to make a blind guess as to what's in the minds of the daimyo, but now that the heavens have given us a good opportunity, the daimyo are absolutely unwilling to let go of the Land of Water, which is now weakened and in bad shape."

"Political matters are just too complicated to explain in a moment. But since we're talking about building an undersea tunnel, it's inevitable that the Takumi Village will be used. And recently the smith ninja village has been a bit unstable, and Kiri seems to be making moves in it... The Daimyo's intention is to - solve them."

"The Daimyo doesn't like surprises."

It was clear that the Minister of Finance was making a gesture of goodwill towards Konoha, and the words had revealed a lot.

It was far from time to take sides, of course, but the Minister of Finance's show of goodwill now was a statement in itself.

After all, he was in charge of finance.

He could see a lot of data that ordinary heavy ministers couldn't.

-Of course, out of this door, he would never admit it.

After all, he wasn't yet Konoha's senior advisor.

Makoto nodded in understanding.

"Is Kiri doing evil again, oppressing the weaker ninja villages? Outrageous! -

"I'll immediately get Kiri's diplomat to come here and confront him!"

Pakura dangled his dead fish eyes and watched Makoto perform.

"This isn't good, after all, it's a bit late..."

"How can this work? How can justice be divided into morning and evening? I'll immediately send someone to call him over! The Land of Fire's pride is at stake!"

The Minister of Finance was originally noncommittal, but Makoto insisted, so he didn't continue to refuse.

So within a short time, the diplomat from Kiri was called to Hokage's office.

Slightly beyond the Finance Minister's expectations, several other diplomats followed along.

For a time, all of them gathered, almost like a small Five Kage Summit.

Makoto made the first move.

"Diplomat of Kiri, you're in trouble!"

"You changed your mind!"

Pakura took out a packet of senbei and began to gnaw on it like a hamster.

"We didn't do anything wrong, where's the reformation?"

Terumi Mei had been promoted to Mizukage, and this position of diplomat naturally gave way to someone else. Makoto and this diplomat in front of him were not very familiar with each other, but he was obviously aware of that bit of shit between Makoto and his own Mizukage...

All in all, the Kiri diplomat tried his best to act as proper and upright as possible.

"Even Hokage-sama cannot slander us at will! -

"We, Kiri, strongly protest this, and Konoha will apologize for our careless words and actions!"

These direct words, in the past, might have led to a fight.

Those who were of a more impatient nature, a fight would be possible.

But now...

The Iwa diplomat, relying on his thick skin, looked at Pakura.

"Is there any more, can I have one? I forgot to eat dinner today."

"Take care of your health."

Pakura said so and handed the other party a piece of senbei.

"Thanks."

Makoto ignored the harmonious interaction between the two diplomats and continued to ask.

"...Oh? You're saying you guys didn't do it?"

"That is of course! Because of some needs, we, Kiri, wished to acquire a part of the technology of the Takumi Village. But we didn't whore it out for nothing, we but offered a high price of more than thirty percent of the market price - all merchants know that buying and selling is not a good thing, we offer a price, the other party doesn't want to, so that's all, so how did it become a bad thing?"

Makoto troubled to look at the Minister of Finance.

The Finance Minister took a slow sip of tea and then asked.

"This is not the same as the intelligence we received... This Mr. Diplomat, may I ask if you have any evidence?"

"This one naturally has!"

The Kiri diplomat had been waiting for this question, so he hurriedly took out a dozen photos.

These photos were taken from different angles, but they were all taken of one thing - on the photos, only a ninja wearing a vortex mask was seen massacring young Takumi ninjas.

The ferocity of his methods was simply horrifying.

"Before that, we Kiri had already investigated, and everything was done by this man named Tobi! -

"And this man, previously belonged to none other than the current world's most evil group, the Akatsuki organization - his name is Tobi!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, all the ninjas in the room matched the shocked expressions.

-Of course, these photos were all P'd.

T/N: above, photoshopped

Because of the special nature of Kamui, as well as his own vigilance, it would be very difficult for Tobi to leave behind photos when he really moved.

But this matter really didn't wrongly accuse Tobi, it was indeed him who did it.

Makoto had already confirmed this matter again and again from several old acquaintances lurking in the Akatsuki organization - although what he confirmed was that the bastard Fei had finally reared his head again.

The Kiri diplomat spoke earnestly while holding out a pile of evidence.

No one in the room bothered to pick up the evidence, though.

Makoto slammed his fist hard on the table.

"It's this Akatsuki organization again, it's simply too deceitful! This is no longer the usual treason - this time, even if I have to spell out lying down for a few more years, I will definitely kill him!"

The diplomats hurriedly stick-read to follow.

"Yes, Tobi must be killed."

"This matter, there must be an end to it!"

"It's time to let them know the power of our Five Great Hidden Villages!"

After all, there was the Minister of Finance present, this point of determination must still be expressed.

But in reality? ...Anyway, Pakura didn't put it in her heart.

They were diplomats, already out of the realm of ordinary ninja who only knew how to carry out missions.

In their position, they could already vaguely see things.

-Many times, the reason why they were willing to cooperate with Konoha was precisely because they more or less sensed that Konoha's behavior was indeed beneficial to the entire ninja world... Konoha was indeed elevating the status of the entire ninja.

Who would refuse to be paid a little higher, a little more decent.

Of course, the appendage to the appendage, want to let them under the dead force is also impossible.

In everyone's mind, there are always some dark thoughts about letting others work hard while they themselves take advantage... Otherwise, the encirclement of the Akatsuki organization would not be like this. Those big merchants up to now are giving supplies to Akatsuki organization... Although Makoto would curse the prices of these black traders when he saw them...

The Minister of Finance sipped his tea, then smiled at the crowd.

"In that case, it's obviously a misunderstanding... However, this matter of the undersea tunnel is beneficial to the country and the people, and all of the daimyo have attached considerable importance to it."

"This project itself has been dragging on for many years, and it's really not good to drag it on... I wonder if all of you, Your Lordships, can solve it in a short period of time?"

"Of course, your lords are by no means stingy with the reward."

Makoto immediately came forward again to state his position.

"That's a matter of course - but this person Tobi's movements are so secretive that it's extremely difficult for outsiders to find him. Even if it is found for a time, it may be possible for him to escape... I wonder if it is possible to borrow the intelligence network of the military department during the operation?"

Because of some historical problems, the ninja village has always been considered semi-independent, the military department and the ninja village relationship is no longer close, but also not to the extent of completely sharing intelligence.

Moreover, the ninja village's intelligence gathering ability had always been above the military department, so the ninja village would almost never make a request in this regard.

Hearing this kind of request, the Minister of Finance froze for a moment - the ninjas have always been lazy, why do they need to use the military's intelligence network this time?

Was it because they felt that they had been groping too much in the past, and now they more or less had to do something practical?

The Minister of Finance speculated in his mind, but it was nothing more than a small matter in itself, and he had no intention of stopping it.

"This is a matter of course."

"If the Akatsuki organization can be eliminated early, all the big guys in the pavilion will be very happy..."

Makoto looked at the several diplomats in front of him again.

"All of you, will also help, right? - Of course, I only need information, and do not need you all to expose the existence of informants."

It was only at this time that the few diplomats present then realized that something was wrong.

Makoto was too serious.

To ask for information from the Land of Fire, it could still be said that it was for the bigwigs above - after all, the bigwigs did not understand, so it would be fine to make a show of it.

But asking for information from other ninja villages... and it obviously involves key military information... This is not the same level of intelligence sharing as Arasaka!

Arasaka is a purely commercial matter, and a single lower ninja can cover a large area. Because it doesn't involve the key, and the profits are really huge, everyone is fine with it.

But if it involves a war, then it is complicated... Makoto is planning to take advantage of this opportunity to dig out all of their spies in the Land of Fire?

There is this possibility, but... it is too stupid, right?

With the Godaime Hokage has always been the nature of the urine, he prefers the yang strategy, intrigue instead used very little.

-This is this guy let a person can not do anything, the other party with the momentum of the hall crushed to come, such as what can be done?

Pakura immediately stepped forward to help, "If the other party's secret agent escaped into the Land of Wind, we, Suna, are willing to help!"

Kiri followed at the same time.

"This involves the dignity of Kiri, no matter what the cost, we must apprehend the other party!"

Kumo's side rolled their eyes and chose to refuse.

Iwa knew that this proposal was bound to pass, and was pondering what words to use to delay it when Makoto quietly raised a finger.

Seeing this finger, the Iwa diplomat's face darkened, and he finally chose to compromise.

"Since this... is a matter of justice, we naturally..."

-Before, in order to be able to get Onoki out, Iwa was in debt.

In that case, it was four against one.

Even if Kumo was unusually resistant, this proposal was bound to pass... Kumo and Iwa can both sensed this, but they really didn't have a good solution.

Kumo's state is really... one Iwa is really difficult to resist.

"Good, then it's decided."

Makoto turned his head and looked at the Minister of Finance.

"Your Excellency, you have seen it all. We will join forces and arrest those traitors!"

...For some reason, the Minister of Finance always felt as if Makoto was really a bit too serious this time.

However, this matter was a good thing for the daimyo and even the entire Land of Fire hierarchy, as the Hokage had suddenly gotten serious, and he didn't seem to be in much of a position to stop it... rouge ninja like Pain deserved to die in the most grueling way possible, in order to appease their panicked hearts!

"If Hokage-sama can really do it, I will definitely claim credit for all of you with your highnesses."

With that said, there was little need to continue.

The crowd took their leave, and Pakura naturally did as well.

Only when everyone left Hokage's office together, Pakura subconsciously glanced back - she realized that at some point, Makoto's pupils had turned a golden color.

There was no pity, no cruelty, there was just a pure golden color.

...Didn't this Makoto guy always have black pupils?

Or is he using genjutsu?

What is using genjusu for now, there is no reason.

Pakura heart doubt, and then looked at Makoto again, but found that his eye pupils have become normal.

The previous sorts of things, as if it was his genjutsu... How is it possible!

Pakura was willing to believe in the five senses that had accompanied her through countless battlefields.

Today, Makoto seemed to be a bit strange.

Ever since the Kiri diplomat mentioned that Tobi.

Pakura down instinctively stopped.

"Is... going to help?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Makoto looked at Pakura suspiciously, "Just talking a little exaggeratedly to fool those big shots, you don't really believe it, do you?"

"I'm not going to fight to the death for those nobles."

These words were indeed very much in line with Makoto's usual style.

But... today's him was really a bit odd... As the material side of Hokage's main family, Pakura felt that he must not ignore this matter in the past...

"So what are you going to do next?"

"What else can I do, of course it's to prepare Eirei Shokan so I can take care of that guy."

T/N: Eirei Shokan, also known as Heroic Spirit Summoning, is a renamed version made by Makoto to justify his use of Edo Tensei

Makoto used a very casual tone and said something terrifying.

"By the way, notify Father-in-law and Chiyo-baasama, tell them that I have something to find them..."

... ...

Kakashi held a copy of Icha Icha in his hand as he walked in front of the Konoha Comfort Monument with his little follower, Hanare.

No matter how prosperous Konoha became, the scene here at the Memorial Stone would always be a bleak and lonely one.

Honestly, it's a bit creepy.

Of course, Kakashi was not afraid.

Because he knew very well that this was the safest place in Konoha - those buried here were all warriors who died fighting for Konoha. Even if they turned into evil spirits, they wouldn't hurt him, right?

As Makoto said at the opening ceremony of the first Five Kage Summit, they might not see the arrival of the day that their hearts were waiting for in their lifetime. But that long list of the fallen finally changed something...

Even if it's a Reunion... or even a Reunion.

Here, why do you feel afraid?

Kakashi could only feel an unspeakable peace of mind.

...Peace of mind is peace of mind, it is indeed a bit wrong to bring a girl along to the grave on the first date... But he really doesn't like this girl, ah, and it's Naruto's order, so he can't push back...

Kakashi really couldn't understand why Makoto had to ask him to go out with this girl named Hanare - even telling him outright that this Hanare was still a spy.

It's not strange for a ninja to be a spy, especially a kunoichi. But you've nailed it... Does that even make sense?

Kakashi couldn't figure it out.

But Makoto let people confuse more operations, but no matter how difficult to understand, he will ultimately prove that he is right... Then bear it.

The two were walking one after the other, when an old woman carrying a basket who came to visit the grave appeared in front of the two.

Seeing this, Kakashi immediately greeted her.

"Ah, Borokara-baachan! Why are you here alone again... Come, let me help you..."

Kakashi said and took the initiative to help up the very old looking granny.

Hanare paused for a moment and also rushed forward.

The old granny looked at the two with a smile and talked about boring daily routines just like a normal old person.

Kakashi listened drowsily, but always forced himself to hold back - he was helpless to realize that Hanare was surprisingly holding back as well, and had no intention of letting go.

"Hey, nowadays children, really more and more excellent... with the previous are not the same... I still remember, when the Godaime was small, just like a monkey, all day jumping around everywhere, the temper is also particularly explosive, often say some strange things like I can't tell the difference... -

"His two golden eyes, look really afraid of people... but the village of the old scholar said, that is clearly the appearance of the celestial... -

"Fortunately, the Yondaime has been following him... Then later, the little Jiraiya said that he was eye problems, got a very strange red eye disease... Fortunately, later on, it is good, the person is also cheerful, will not put the enemy to open the brain to say that you want to drink milk tea..."

Borokara-baachan is the village elderly, the age has been very old, the brain from time to time confused, often say some nonsense things, as well as the village of strange news.

However, because of her age and the fact that her husband, brother, son, daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter had all died in the war, everyone did not argue with her, and no matter what she said, everyone let her be. No matter what she said, everyone would let her. When they had enough money, they would also help her out.

After all, she is this age, but alone... really...

Of course, that was before.

Later on, after the Godaime came to power, for the village's widows and orphans are as compassionate as possible. Borokara-baachan such as old, but also special care, before the death of relatives owed pension, but also doubled the full complement to her - and her own pension.

From an outsider's point of view, she is already a little rich.

I don't know how many people from outside the village want to succeed her, just for the sake of those inheritance...

Only for Borokara-baachan, I'm afraid the happiest days are still when her relatives are still around.

Granny rambled on and on the whole way, even including quite a few embarrassing stories from Sennin's youth. But overall, it was still boring.

-Kakashi hoped to end the day's boring date by annoying the girls so much, but the girl named Hanare always followed him in the same footsteps.

It wasn't long before the granny found her husband's tombstone, and she sat down next to it. Kakashi and Hanare, on the other hand, were still moving forward.

Kakashi could sense that Hanare was a bit scared of the atmosphere of the graveyard, but she gathered her courage and took the initiative to ask about the situation here at the monument.

"Then again... why does it always feel like... the graves around here are a bit brighter than the surrounding?"

Kakashi glanced at this Hanare with slight surprise.

It was surprising that she had perceived it.

The graves they were passing by at this moment were indeed a little bit brighter than the surroundings. If one felt it carefully in cold weather, it even gave a slightly warmer feeling - this was nothing more than a long term jutsu that couldn't make it to the top, allowing one to feel a little warmth and light, powered by the Reibi Chakra Tank.

This bit of light and warmth did exist, but it was unusually subtle, and could easily be overlooked if one did not have enough perception.

This was the grave of the Uchiha clan.

All the ancestors of the Uchiha clan who died in battle were buried here in one place.

And the reason why Makoto did this was to let the Uchiha Clan members who came to visit the graves, feel some comfort from their ancestors and loved ones...

As for why he was treating the Uchiha so generously...

"This is the grave of the Uchiha clan and the last resting place of clan of love. When people remember them, the ancestors will naturally respond."

Kakashi said so in his standard official accent.

"Clan of love... hey? Uchiha?"

The Uchiha were also considered famous in the entire ninja world, and were a notoriously strong clan. However, the Uchiha is strong, the Upside Down is out of a lot, clan of love this name, but few people mentioned.

"Well, because the founder of the Uchiha lineage is the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths and descendants of Indra. -

"Before Sage of Six Paths died, he called his two sons close to him and instructed them to work together to guard the entire world. -

"As the eldest son, Indra was duty-bound. But he also knew in his heart that he was no match for his brother. So he chose to become the Darkness of the World, guarding the entire world from the shadows, not caring even if he carried countless curses. -

"Because this is the legacy of the Sage of Six Paths, and at the same time, it is also their own choice. -

"Time has changed, and these past events have long been forgotten, but the Uchiha will never forget their oath. The descendants of the Asura are the current Senju lineage, and even if they were conflicted at first, they would eventually remember their mission..."

Kakashi used the official Konoha argument, making an introduction for Hanare.

-To be fair, Kakashi himself is completely disbelieve in these, after all, before the establishment of Konoha, Senju and Uchiha that can really kill each other's head rolled, both sides of the big man have their own brothers died in the hands of each other.

Not to mention that blood feud between the two sides, even if the two sides of the first ancestor is really the sons of the Sage of Six Paths, I'm afraid that it is also the kind of fight every day... Claiming to be a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths is just too much.

Who doesn't like to put gold on his face.

There are countless people on the side of the aristocracy who have impersonated their ancestors.

But who knows if it is true or not?

A lot of things have been worn down by time, and have long since become completely different and difficult to verify.

But then again, Kakashi was not unable to understand Makoto's approach - the Uchiha clan was indeed one of the most powerful in Konoha, not only was it prosperous, but the Kage-class masters had never broken generations.

Such a family, especially the founder family, directly excluded from the political sequence is impossible.

In that case, it might as well come to play with binding.

Define the Uchiha as the clan of love, then they can't betray Konoha. And by defining the Uchiha as the elder brother who would rather accept his brother's leadership, it would give the Hokage line a reason to always be on top of the other side.

The big deal is that at some point, the Hokage will be given to the Uchiha for a term.

...Like when a backstabbing is needed.

Kakashi had seen through those schemes of his boss's long ago, and spat on them, but he didn't bother poking at them - the Uchiha clan was happy with the persona anyway.

More attentive when it came to being a cop.

Then... offended more people... Although he was the boss of his own family, Kakashi really felt that the Godaime Hokage was sometimes really not a human being, and deserved to go to hell... This guy was now Publicizing this, Kakashi seriously suspected that it was a plan to grab the whole ninja world's claim in the future...

The Sage of Six Paths are the Ninshu Sect, there is no doubt about that. Then isn't it only natural that the descendants of Sage of Six Paths should rule the entire ninja world...

While Kakashi was frantically spitting in his mind, Hanare didn't know any of this. She just opened her small mouth and sighed softly.

"Descendants of the Six Paths Immortals? ...Hatake-san, do you also know members of them?"

Until this time, Kakashi snapped.

-Why, subconsciously, did he walk to the Uchiha clan's grave?

Was it that it had gotten too used to it?

Kakashi raised his head and looked at the nearby memorial stone.

As expected, he saw his best friend Uchiha Obito's name on it again.

Obito...

Kakashi walked over to the Tablet of Consolation and stared at the never-to-be-forgotten name in front of him.

He reached out his hand and touched the cold tablet of solace, while past memories slowly began to resurrect.

Hanare noticed Kakashi's abnormality.

"What's wrong with you, Hatake-san...?"

"Ah, nothing... just remembered a little something from the past."

"Is it about this Uchiha Obito?" Hanare was keenly aware of Kakashi's abnormality and realized what was causing it, "He must be a very brave ninja, right?"

"...Well."

Kakashi hadn't wanted to say this to Hanare, but he couldn't help but open up at the mention of Obito.

He and Hanare were not familiar with each other, and the two of them talking about this was really a bit of a crossroads. But when Hanare brought the topic up, the impulse in his heart was ignited and he couldn't hold back any longer.

"He used to be my best companion! -

"This guy was a hangdog, very much a dork, and was often late... to help grandma cross the street This guy was also really good, late once for the opening ceremony and once for the closing ceremony. Two of the most important moments in a ninja student's life, and he's late for them all... -

"But don't underestimate him because of that. -

"But he once cleared all the love-rank tasks in one day, even the Sandaime and Yondaime Hokage were impressed by him... -

"If he was still alive... he would have been a very good ninja right... -

"If he's still alive... we can definitely change the world together... -

"The world, it shouldn't be like this."

... ...

The man wearing a vortex mask coldly gazed at the Takumi ninja chasing after him in front of him. He neither attacked nor fled, but just looked at them like this.

More accurately, it was looking at a small flower that was silently blooming by their feet.

This small flower was so ordinary that if he were to place it in spring, even if he passed by it a million times, he wouldn't give it a second glance.

But now, all his attention was on it.

Because it was early spring, the snow hadn't melted yet, and the earth could still be said to be withered. This little flower might have perceived wrongly and bloomed early in the dirty snow water.

Or... blood water?

Because around it, there were a dozen or so of Takumi Village's Anbu lying in a heap.

Their boiling hot heart blood melted the snow underneath them, turning the surrounding area into a small quagmire, and at the same time making this pure flower filthy.

"Tobi, you can't get away! -

"You're wanted by the ninja alliance now, you're bound to die! -

"Come back with us to be judged!"

The swirling masked man didn't pay any attention to them and just continued to look at the tarnished little flower.

He wasn't bluffing, but he really didn't care about these Takumi Village Anbu in front of him - not too long ago, on Pain's orders, he had gone ahead and killed a few younger generation Takumi Ninja, wanting to delay the matter of the undersea tunnel between the two countries of Water and Lightning.

Nowadays, the ninja world is not the same as in the past, the ninja village is the ninja village , and the big country is the big country.

A small stone, as long as the use of good, can still destroy the world's hard-won peace.

But what I did not expect was that the news had leaked out, thus attracting these smith ninja's dark parts... Perhaps, it was not a leak at all, but rather, it was being lent force to force?

After all, the level of the knucklehead of the Godaime Hokage is really worrying.

Does he need evidence?

No need for it.

In the whirlpool mask man's impression, this uncle's level of integrity has always been worrying, but also in the Yondaime Hokage on the side of the time, only a little better.

After becoming Hokage, it is even more direct to let go of the self... These are not important.

Thinking this way, the whirlpool masked man raised his head and said in a very funny voice.

"Ichibi, Nibi... I am Tobi! -

"You guys, why do you have to challenge me? You guys are clearly scared to death in your hearts, aren't you?"

Nowadays, the Akatsuki organization was so infamous that it could be said to be recognized as the world's number one villainous organization. And every senior member of it was a true S-rank rouge ninja.

The swirling masked man was naturally one of them.

"You're right, but since you killed our people, be prepared to die!"

The swirling masked man cocked his head.

Only this time, his voice seemed younger and lower.

"Another war? ...Those who clearly don't want to die, but are forced by others to come and fight against me... The so-called war is a group of old undead who won't be harmed in any way at all, to force a group of young people to fight for their lives..."

"Heh heh heh, oji, only this point is not wrong... -

T/N: 'oji' as in teacher's senior or junior brother

"It's really ugly... -

"This world is no longer indifferent to hope, hope and give up there is no difference, just a perfunctory pretext."

"Sleep... in peace... this is my last mercy to you."

The swirling masked man said so, and his eyes suddenly became a demon.

"This is... Sharingan... no..."

Although the Takumi ninja was weak, after all, but was also part of Anbu, and the basic literacy was still there.

Unfortunately, in front of the swirling masked man, these are meaningless.

They couldn't even do the most basic resistance before they were enveloped by genjutsu.

Pfft, pfft...

In the next moment, the Anbus who had come after them fell down.

They revealed smiles of joy and died so quietly.

This was something that could only be done by a genjutsu master.

In the genjutsu just now, these dark ministries quickly spent decades of their lives and gained everything they had been craving for.

And when they lived out their lives in the genjutsu, the external brain naturally stopped functioning - and so, just like that, the body sentenced itself to its own death.

None of the ninja who had been so fresh and alive before now survived.

The swirling masked man didn't even look at them, he came to the small flower that was blooming in the frost, and then stomped down hard.

The young life withered away completely.

"Thoughts, wishes, and whatnot are all empty, and nothing can be accomplished by tripping over such illusory things. -

"What's wrong with the world of illusions, the reality is too harsh, it only makes the hole inside grow bigger and bigger, sometimes it catches people off guard, sometimes it makes people love them, just like I used to, just like I didn't make it in time... Right, Kakashi, how can staying in this world make up for the empty hole. "

The swirling masked man said so, removing his mask.

It was clearly - Uchiha Obito!
