Chapter 122: Wanting Akatsuki to Become a Transcendent and Powerful Organization

Sara sighed emotionally, "This person really is dangerous. Obito, didn't you say Akatsuki is an organization that yearns for peace? Do you really recruit people like him?"

Obito chuckled, "The reason why Sasori killed the Third Kazekage was because the Third Kazekage had instigated a war with Konoha. Sasori's parents were killed by Konoha's White Fang, but the White Fang is already dead, so Sasori's only target for revenge was the Third Kazekage."

Sara nodded, "I see."

Obito continued, "Of course, if Sasori were left to his own devices, he would indeed become more and more evil, possibly even using a large number of puppets to destroy a small country."

"But right now, he has just killed the Third Kazekage, meaning there is still a chance to guide him toward a better path. Akatsuki is also quite weak at the moment, and we need to recruit strong fighters like him."

Sara teased, "So, Obito, was this how you tried to trick me into joining Akatsuki before?"

Obito coughed a few times, "Sara, how can you call it tricking? I was sincerely inviting you to join Akatsuki, and that hasn't changed."

Sara laughed, "Then one day, take me to Akatsuki. I want to see it with my own eyes before making a decision."

Obito smiled, "No problem. Once Akatsuki has developed a bit more, I'll teleport over and take you to Amegakure."

Sara asked curiously, "What about the second matter?"

Obito thought for a moment and asked, "Sara, you're currently using the power of the Ryūmyaku (Dragon Vein) to supply energy to the entire city, right? Does that consume a lot of your strength?"

Sara smiled, "A single infusion of energy is enough to sustain Rōran for a month. Recovering it takes less than half an hour, so the cost is minimal."

Obito's eyes lit up.

This was even less energy consumption than he had imagined.

But it made sense. It was like how Naruto's Nine-Tails chakra during the Fourth Great Ninja War could rapidly regenerate even after being depleted, making it almost an infinite energy source.

He said, "Sara, I want to cooperate with you to establish a factory in Rōran dedicated to producing a type of machine that converts the Ryūmyaku's energy."

"These machines would come in household versions as well as custom-made versions. The custom-made ones could be powered by the Ryūmyaku or Tailed Beasts, allowing them to provide energy for a long time with a single charge."

"This could be an incredibly profitable business and could bring revolutionary changes to the world. Would you be interested?"

Sara was stunned for a moment before thinking deeply, "That does sound like a great idea, but technically… Back then, my mother had to hire a sealing master to make it work, and that master has since passed away."

But suddenly, Sara remembered something, "Wait a minute! Naruto's mother was also proficient in sealing techniques. If she could seal the Ryūmyaku's power into my body, she could definitely handle this too."

At that moment, Kushina snorted, "Minato is only half-decent at sealing techniques. I'm the one who taught him. Instead of asking him, you should ask me. Making a small sealing device is no problem."

Sara immediately looked at Kushina with admiration, "That's true. I've heard of Uzushio's sealing techniques. If Lady Kushina handles it, then there's no issue at all."

Kushina smiled, "I've already made a device like that before. It's not difficult. In fact, I already have an idea for a machine that could automate the sealing process. As long as it has enough energy, it can automatically apply seals to other machines, allowing for mass production."

Sara was delighted, "That makes it even better! We in Rōran also want to expand externally, but that requires a lot of money. I won't miss a chance to make profits."

Obito nodded. He hadn't expected Kushina's sealing techniques to be so versatile.

Simply using her as a Jinchūriki weapon was such a waste of her talent.

Indeed, this trip to Rōran had not only broadened his own horizons but also Kushina's.

Thus, the three of them continued discussing the details of machine manufacturing, divided the profits, and Sara promised that once Kushina sent over a completed prototype, she would immediately begin production.

Afterward, Sara and Kushina started chatting about Jinchūriki matters. The two talked for a long time, and before they knew it, half a day had passed.

Seeing that time was running out, Obito handed Sara a basic ninja training manual prepared by Kushina and said, "Sara, Big Sis Kushina is Konoha's Jinchūriki and can't stay too long. You can chat more next time."

"This manual contains some basic ninjutsu training materials. Since you weren't originally a ninja, studying it might help improve your strength."

Kushina was a bit reluctant. While talking with Sara, she had gained many new ideas and wanted to continue.

She also wanted to explore Rōran more. This place was far more interesting than Konoha.

But she knew her own situation well. She really couldn't stay too long, so she could only reluctantly bid farewell to Sara, "Sara, I'll come find you again next time. Today, you mentioned a method I want to try with Kurama when I get back."

Sara nodded, "I look forward to seeing you again, Lady Kushina."

Then, she accepted the training manual from Obito and suddenly remembered something, "Obito, recently, Sunagakure has approached me multiple times, hoping I would join the village. They even offered me the position of Wind Shadow Advisor, which holds status equivalent to Elder Chiyo. Do you think I should accept?"

Obito was momentarily surprised, but then he found it understandable. Sunagakure lacked high-level combat power, and if a powerhouse like the Purple-Clad Dragon King of the Land of Wind appeared, they would definitely be tempted.

He thought for a moment and said, "If they don't have any malicious intent, you can consider accepting. Since you're a Jinchūriki now, you should have at least some ability to sense ill intentions. Do you think they're approaching you with hostility?"

Sara pondered, "Not much malice—otherwise, I would have rejected them already. But some of them are full of greed, so I'm hesitant."

Obito laughed, "Then it's fine. Greedy people exist everywhere. As long as you demonstrate your strength, there's no need to worry about being schemed against. Joining a great nation's village could provide many benefits for Rōran's development."

Sara felt reassured, "At least within Rōran, I can control everything. Even the Kazekage wouldn't be my match. I'll think it over. If it can really bring more trade routes for my people, I'll accept."

With that matter settled, Obito handed Sara a specially-made Flying Thunder God kunai and said, "We're heading back now. If you ever need anything, just channel chakra into this kunai, and I'll sense it and come find you."

Sara took the kunai and smiled, "You Konoha folks sure love giving out weapons."

As she spoke, she unconsciously touched the chakra blade that Naruto had given her, her expression turning slightly melancholic.

———

After bringing Kushina home, Obito told Minato and Kushina, "I still have to visit the black market later, so I'll take my leave."

Kushina was surprised, "Obito, are you really that busy? Running around everywhere?"

Obito explained, "Our actions will bring great changes to the ninja world, but we'll also make many enemies."

"For example, the companies supplying energy to Kushina's clan might see us as a threat and try to eliminate our factory."

"So I need a powerful yet neutral force to suppress all opposition. Konoha has its own stance and isn't suited for this role, so Akatsuki is the key to my plan."

"I want to make Akatsuki a strong, transcendent, and friendly organization that supervises the chaos in the ninja world."

"And right now, Akatsuki lacks experts and talent, so I need to find more people for them."

Minato smiled, "Obito, were you this dedicated to Akatsuki in your past life too?"

Obito suddenly felt awkward, "Haha… I guess I was. I really do feel like I'm acting like a mother hen."
