Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou [397]

Land of Lightning, Kumogakure (Cloud Village)

"The Fourth Raikage has already led the ninja army out."

"Report: Our stockpiles of war materials in the village…"

As each report came in, Mabui, who stayed behind to oversee the village, nodded calmly and continuously issued various logistical orders.

From the Raikage's office, through the huge glass window, she could see countless kumo ninjas pouring out through the gates of Kumogakure.

"Sister Mabui, most of the elite ninjas have been redeployed out of the village now."

At this moment, Samui walked in cheerfully, closing the door behind her, her face showing excitement.

"Stay calm. Especially at a time like this, we need to remain calm," Mabui, the one coordinating the overall situation, replied coolly. She glanced around the village.

"Have you sent the intel to Lord Shirou?"

"Don't worry, Sister Mabui. I already passed the intel to Lord Shirou," Samui assured her, patting her chest (which jiggled significantly), her face filled with hopeful excitement.

"That damn Sage of Six Paths and Uzumaki Naruto, those beasts, have escaped to this world and even teamed up with this world's Obito. Just as Lord Shirou said: 'Beasts attract beasts.'"

Samui said disdainfully, utterly contemptuous of what those three had done. In her eyes, calling them beasts would be an insult to beasts.

"As long as Lord Shirou knows, that's enough."

Mabui nodded slightly. Now, with the Raikage and Obito joining forces, they all thought their plan was flawless. Little did they know this ninja world had long since been infiltrated.

"Should we start the next phase of our plan?"

At the mention of the plan, Samui's face became even more excited. She had been waiting too long for this and couldn't wait to overturn Kumogakure.

"Not yet. Take it slow. The Cloud army has only just set out. For now, let's create a few major incidents of racial conflict, to incite outrage.

Once I've sent most of the black kumo ninja to the front lines, that will be our time to change Kumogakure."

As Mabui's calm voice echoed, no one could have guessed that, in the Raikage's office, a plan to overturn Kumogakure—perhaps even the entire Land of Lightning—was in motion.

Standing by the window, Mabui gazed out at the beautiful land of Kumogakure.

"This desk is filthy. Replace it later."

Turning to look at the large desk in the Raikage's office, Mabui's face twisted with disgust as she demanded its replacement.

Samui, instead of objecting, gave a delighted smile.

"I've never liked it here. When we rebuild the new Kumogakure we deserve, we'll tear down the entire Raikage's office building and start fresh."

Saying this, Samui glanced around to make sure no one else was present, then smiled lightly and slowly took something from her bag.

"Sis, this is a gift from Lord Shirou, sent by summoning."

What she produced was a brand new Raikage hat.

"Lord Shirou!"

Seeing the symbol of the Raikage, Mabui's face lit up with excitement.

"The Kumogakure Collapse Plan—activate!"

This was the plan Mabui, Samui, and Yugito Nii devised together: the Kumogakure Collapse Plan.

After the Fourth Raikage left with the Cloud ninja army, Mabui issued seemingly normal orders from the rear. But, unnoticed, the elite kumo ninjas in the village grew fewer and fewer, either sent on missions or assigned as escorts.

In just three days, Kumogakure seemed peaceful on the surface, but its internal forces had become dangerously weak.

During these three days, several incidents of racial conflict occurred.

Raikage's Office

"Mabui-sen, several major incidents have happened in the village these days. We have to report this to the Raikage."

"Yeah, tensions are rising…"

One by one, the jonin in the Raikage's office expressed their concern. No one had imagined that so soon after the Raikage left, so much chaos would erupt.

Temporarily in charge, Mabui put on a show of self-blame in front of them.

"Sorry, I've let the Raikage down. I'll send word to him immediately. But please, trust in our Lightning Will—this will soon be resolved."

With Mabui's reassurance, the jonin didn't press her further. Seeing her take responsibility alone, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Someone to take the blame—now they could wash their hands of it.

But after they left, in the office, Mabui—who outwardly seemed remorseful and hard at work—revealed a cold glint in her eyes.

Sending word to the Fourth Raikage? She did—but only she knew what the message said.

…

Meanwhile, the Fourth Raikage, leading tens of thousands of Kumogakure ninjas, sat in his tent reading the letters from the village and smiled in satisfaction.

"Haha! Looks like those guys back in the village are itching to get on the battlefield."

According to Mabui's intel, the village was full of restless villagers, eager to fight, causing a few incidents.

To the Raikage, this was a good sign.

He never suspected the intel was fake—or that the forger was his trusted Mabui.

Her report was full of holes, and would easily be exposed in a week or two—but by then, her plan would already be complete.

"But this Allied Shinobi Force… how will it turn out?"

In his tent, the Fourth Raikage frowned deeply. Konoha was ambitious, and Obito and the Sage of Six Paths might not have good intentions either.

…

Land of Wind, Sunagakure

On the sofa.

Shirou's strong hands kneaded and massaged Temari's full, sensitive breasts, his fingers expertly rolling and pinching her hardened pink nipples as she rode him with increasing urgency. Her back arched against his muscled chest, head thrown back in ecstasy as she ground her hips in circles, taking his thick shaft deeper with each bounce.

"Ahhhh... Lord Shirou... right there..." she moaned breathlessly as his hot mouth found the tender spot where her neck met her shoulder. He sucked and nibbled the sensitive flesh, marking her as his while his calloused hands continued their relentless assault on her heaving breasts.

Temari's inner walls clenched rhythmically around his throbbing cock as she increased her pace, her honey dripping down his length. The lewd wet sounds of their coupling filled the room along with their passionate moans and gasps. "Fuck... you're so tight..." Shirou growled against her neck, pinching and tugging her nipples harder.

"Oh god... I'm getting close..." Temari whimpered, her thighs trembling as she bounced faster. One of Shirou's hands slid down to rub tight circles around her swollen clit while the other continued fondling her bouncing breasts. The dual stimulation was overwhelming.

"Cum for me," he commanded hoarsely, biting down on her shoulder. That pushed her over the edge - Temari's back arched dramatically as she came with a loud cry, her pussy clamping down hard around him. The incredible tightness triggered Shirou's intense orgasm, his cock pulsing as he filled her with hot spurts.

Temari collapsed back against his chest, both of them panting heavily. His still-hard cock remained buried deep inside her as his hands returned to gently caressing her sensitive breasts. She hummed contentedly, enjoying the feeling of being so thoroughly claimed and filled by her beloved lord Shirou as they basked in the afterglow together.

"That was amazing," she sighed happily, nuzzling against his neck while his fingers traced lazy patterns across her flushed skin. His possessive embrace tightened as he pressed tender kisses to her temple.

"Temari, how are things going in Sunagakure?"

"Haah… Forgive me, Lord Shirou... Gaara only has Uzumaki Naruto on the brain—he doesn't suspect a thing. The most direct way now would be to replace Gaara."

Temari said, panting greedily for breath.

"Gaara, huh."

Shirou frowned a little at this. Temari sighed helplessly; in this world, as long as Gaara stayed out of Naruto's business, things were fine.

But as long as Naruto was involved, Gaara would lose his head.

"It's time to begin."

Temari, sprawled on the sofa, enjoyed Shirou's caress and glanced out the window toward the Kazekage's office.

The Temari from the other world had promised to replace Gaara, letting the other world's Gaara take this world's place.

Her brother Gaara would temporarily go to the other world, to be mentored by Namikaze Naruto.

…

Kazekage's Office

"Impossible! Temari, how could you betray me?!"

The army of over ten thousand Sunagakure ninjas was ready to depart, and Gaara, as the Fourth Kazekage, was about to leave. But now, his face pale and trembling, he stared at Temari in disbelief.

It was indeed his sister Temari, serving him tea—after which he found himself unable to use his chakra.

Temari, looking at Gaara, showed a hint of guilt and sighed:

"Gaara, I told you before—Naruto is nothing but a beast. To forgive the person who killed your parents and call him a comrade—how can you trust someone like that?

You're the Fourth Kazekage of this world, not an ordinary ninja. What is Naruto? How can he call Lord Shirou's peace 'ambition' or 'disaster'!"

Temari, exasperated, glared at Gaara.

"You're from the other world!"

Gaara, shocked, managed to gather a little chakra and summoned his sand to capture Temari—but then, with a splatter of sand, he stared in disbelief.

A sand user even stronger than himself appeared, and as the figure emerged, it was someone who looked exactly like him.

This Gaara from the other world had a cold, indifferent gaze.

"I won't let anyone doubt Lord Shirou's great ideals—not even myself!"

This Gaara, after the Chunin Collapse Plan in the other world, had trained with Konoha's Sasuke and Namikaze Naruto. They had deep bonds, and he was a fanatic believer in Shirou's Will of Fire.

"If you've seen nothing and understood nothing, what right have you to comment on Lord Shirou's greatness? Is your unchanging cycle of war what you call peace?"

Gaara sneered at his counterpart. His sand instantly bound the other Gaara, and as the latter glared in anger, he spoke coldly.

"Stop struggling. That tea you drank blocks your chakra. We don't fear your power—your sister from this world just doesn't want you to get hurt."

Just then, a flash of golden light appeared, and the bound Gaara's eyes widened.

"N-Naruto!"

With short golden hair, wielding a three-pronged kunai, and using Flying Thunder God, Namikaze Naruto looked up. Seeing this world's Gaara, he smiled.

"I'm Namikaze Naruto. Now I'll trouble you to team up with me for a while. Don't worry—I won't hurt you."

Namikaze Naruto's sunny smile stunned Gaara—he hadn't expected this Naruto from another world to have such a warm presence.

As Namikaze Naruto took the Fourth Kazekage Gaara away, peace returned to the Kazekage's office.

When the doors opened again, the Gaara from the other world, now wearing this world's Kazekage hat, led the last elite troops of the village toward the Allied Shinobi Forces battlefield.

As the wind and sand blew, Shirou appeared in the sky above Sunagakure.

"Father."

Black Zetsu stood respectfully nearby, having merged with his counterpart in this world, though his intentions had never changed.

And all this—Obito and Naruto still knew nothing of it. In their excitement, they thought their counterplot was perfectly on track.
