Chapter 58: Naruto's Arrangement
Amegakure – The Hidden Rain Village
Under Nagato's guidance, Naruto had completely mastered the Rinnegan.
Watching Naruto effortlessly use Shinra Tensei (Almighty Push) and Banshō Ten'in (Universal Pull) of the Deva Path, along with the abilities of the Human Path, Animal Path, Preta Path, Naraka Path, and Asura Path, Nagato couldn't help but feel satisfied.
Orochimaru, standing nearby, had a knowing smirk on his face. His golden eyes gleamed with an almost obsessive fascination.
"This is simply… perfect."
Naruto Uzumaki now possessed the Rinnegan, Sage Mode, Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Flying Thunder God Technique, and various Uzumaki Sealing Techniques. A terrifying combination.
If Orochimaru had ever possessed such abilities in the past, he would have laughed himself awake from his dreams.
Konan was also pleased. Naruto had now reached the Super Kage level. If he wished, he could elevate Amegakure to a status equal to the Five Great Shinobi Villages. After all, Naruto alone could decimate an entire village if he willed it.
After finishing his technique experiments, Naruto returned to the platform where the others were waiting. Seeing the stunned expressions on their faces, he chuckled.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Nagato, gripping his cane, gave a small nod. "We're just happy for you."
Naruto grinned before turning to Nagato. "Don't worry, senpai. Uncle Orochimaru and I will make sure you can walk freely again soon."
With that, Naruto took out a scroll from his cloak and handed it to Orochimaru.
"This contains the key to overcoming the rejection issues with Hashirama's cells."
Orochimaru's eyes widened with excitement as he unrolled the scroll. He scanned the contents, his sharp mind instantly recognizing the missing link.
"Ah… I see now! That's why the previous experiments kept failing."
Nagato, upon hearing Orochimaru's exhilarated tone, had an ominous feeling.
Orochimaru closed the scroll and said, "Naruto-kun, I may need to leave for a few days. I have some things to retrieve."
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "You're going to check your old labs?"
Orochimaru nodded. "Yes. Some of them may still be intact, and I need to recover valuable materials."
"No problem," Naruto replied. "Just be careful on the way."
Orochimaru was slightly taken aback by Naruto's trust. It reminded him of Jiraiya. That fool had also trusted him implicitly.
Naruto suddenly grabbed Orochimaru's hand, rolling up his sleeve and marking it with the Flying Thunder God Seal.
Orochimaru chuckled dryly. "Naruto-kun, are you worried I'll run away?"
One second he was praising Naruto's trust, the next second he was being branded like livestock.
Naruto smirked. "Uncle Snake, don't think too much. This is for your safety. If you run into trouble, just channel chakra into this mark. I'll arrive within seconds."
"Besides," he added with a sly grin, "if you really wanted to escape, you'd find a way. Not even the Shinigami can hold you down."
Orochimaru let out a low chuckle. "Fair enough." He rolled his sleeve back down and turned to leave.

Securing Amegakure
Konan stepped forward. "What's our next move?"
Naruto thought for a moment. "For now, we'll preserve Yahiko's body. I'll be needing it later."
Nagato's eyes flickered with understanding. "You're planning to use that?"
Naruto nodded.
Konan covered her mouth in shock. Could it be that Yahiko was truly going to return?
"Konan-senpai, Nagato-senpai, give me your hands."
Naruto reached out and placed the Flying Thunder God Seal on both of them.
"I've set up Time-Space Seals around the tower. These barriers, reinforced with Uzumaki Fūinjutsu, will prevent any infiltration. The masked man—Obito—won't be able to leave his mark here, but he can still sneak into Amegakure."
Konan frowned. "Naruto, you just said that the masked man isn't the real Uchiha Madara?"
Naruto realized that at this point in time, both Konan and Nagato still believed Obito was Madara.
With a smirk, he replied, "No. The real Madara has been dead for decades. That masked fool is just his puppet."
Nagato's expression darkened. "You know his true identity?"
Naruto sighed.
More than just knowing.
Obito was his father's student. That made him Naruto's senpai.
But Kakashi, Obito's classmate, was Naruto's sensei. That technically made Obito his uncle.
And since Naruto was also a student of Jiraiya, that put him on the same level as his father, Minato Namikaze. That would mean…
Naruto paled.
That means I'm technically Obito's senior…?!
He suddenly looked at Nagato with an exasperated expression.
If Naruto hadn't reincarnated, Nagato would have ended up just like Obito—a pawn who betrayed his own master.
Nagato noticed Naruto's weird gaze. "What is it?"
Naruto shook his head. "Nothing… just thinking about the stupidity of fate."
Nagato didn't press further.

Dealing with Obito
Nagato declared, "Even without the Rinnegan, I can still use the Rain Tiger at Will Technique."
Konan added, "And my Shikigami Dance can spread paper clones throughout the village after the rain clears."
Naruto nodded. "Good. The masked man is wary of both of you, but if he ever infiltrates, activate the seal, and I'll be here in an instant."
Konan and Nagato agreed.
Naruto then turned to Konan. "While I'm gone, look for talented people in Amegakure. We need to train the next generation—our future Ten no Ittō (HEAVEN) members."
Konan nodded. "I assumed as much when you mentioned designing uniforms."
Naruto smirked as he admired the prototype of their new attire. The HEAVEN had officially begun.
And soon… the world would know.

A Dark Future Looms
As Naruto prepared to leave, he glanced at the stormy sky above Amegakure.
Somewhere out there, Obito Uchiha was still pulling the strings. Danzo Shimura was lurking in the shadows, plotting his schemes. Sasuke Uchiha was wandering down a bloodstained path.
And behind them all… the real Uchiha Madara awaited his return to the world.
Naruto clenched his fists.
He had mastered the Rinnegan. He had the power of the Nine Tails. He was stronger than he had ever been in his past life.
But would it be enough?
Would it be enough to change everything?
Naruto closed his eyes.
Time would tell.
