Nonou's Fate

"Heh, arrogant brat!" Nine Tails scoffed, then went back to reading his manga.

"T-Truly the Fourth Hokage, a Jinchuriki, and Nine Tails?"

When Uchiha Shisui regained his sight after the eye transplant, he couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

"W-Why is this?" Uchiha Shisui didn't understand why the Fourth Hokage and a Jinchuriki would attack him.

"This appearance might be unfamiliar to you, but what if it's like this?"

Naruto grinned wickedly, transforming into a hooded figure wearing a cat mask.

"Uchiha Shisui, this appearance should be familiar to you, right?"

"It's you!"

Uchiha Shisui's expression changed drastically, and he instinctively put his hands together, ready to form hand seals.

"Clap!"

Minato Namikaze appeared directly beside him, grabbing one of his hands.

"Fourth Hokage?"

Uchiha Shisui finally came to his senses, realizing that the Jinchuriki was the Fourth Hokage's child.

Naruto dispelled the Transformation Technique, looking at the somewhat dazed Uchiha Shisui and said, "Do you regret it?"

"What do you mean?" Uchiha Shisui didn't understand Naruto's meaning.

"Do you regret placing your hope in Sarutobi Hiruzen?"

Uchiha Shisui's expression froze, and he bit his lip, remaining silent for a moment.

"Perhaps the Third Hokage-sama is unaware, or perhaps the Third Hokage-sama has his own difficulties..."

"Is that so? It seems you'll only truly awaken when you witness the Uchiha clan's destruction with your own eyes."

"T-The Third Hokage-sama wouldn't do that, he promised me..."

Seeing his self-deceiving and dispirited appearance, Naruto didn't want to bother with him anymore. Without the Sharingan, Uchiha Shisui's threat was minimal. When he witnesses the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre, that will be his last chance.

Naruto then looked at Yakushi Nono and said, "So, what is your choice?"

Yakushi Nono hesitated, thinking about the children in the orphanage.

"If I don't agree, what will happen to me?"

"Do you think you're worthy of my trust?"

"I understand."

Yakushi Nono wore a self-deprecating smile, realizing that neither her fate nor the orphanage's fate had ever been in her own hands.

"This isn't a bad ending, Miss Nonou."

To become a qualified leader, Naruto felt he needed to appear more considerate of his subordinates.

Yes, after seeing Yakushi Nono, Naruto suddenly had the idea of forming a faction.

Blindly pursuing power only leads to becoming a shell of power. After mastering sufficiently strong power, he wanted to find something to do. Remodeling the ninja world wasn't difficult; he just needed to subdue everyone and then rebuild the order. Besides, weren't there many regrets in Naruto?

Like the Karin mother and daughter, Zabuza and Haku, Yakushi Nono and Yakushi Kabuto, and so on. These people all had their merits, and he could find opportunities to bring these people under his command.

"Perhaps," Yakushi Nono's reply seemed a little weak. Working in Root, she could still have some free time to take care of the orphanage, but now, she probably wouldn't have any freedom in the future.

Naruto saw Nonou's thoughts and didn't comment, then continued, "Do you still remember Yakushi Kabuto?"

"Kabuto?"

Hearing this name from the Jinchuriki surprised her somewhat. The Jinchuriki had grasped a lot of the village's information, so it seemed that the other party had probably been secretly acting in Konoha for a long time.

Good heavens, how old was he?

Yakushi Nono naturally couldn't know that Naruto knew these things through the original work. She nodded at Naruto to indicate that she knew.

"How long has it been since you last saw him with your own eyes?"

Yakushi Nono was a little puzzled. She didn't understand the meaning of Naruto's words and replied, "Danzo sends me a photo of Kabuto every once in a while."

"Is that so? But photos are very easy to fake."

"For example, slowly turning the person in the photo into another similar person."

"This..."

Naruto's words made Yakushi Nono stunned, but she quickly reacted, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in her heart, and her face turned pale.

"You mean..."

Naruto said, "The photos that Shimura Danzo sent you several years ago were not of Yakushi Kabuto. The Yakushi Kabuto in your heart has long been replaced."

"I think, even if the real Yakushi Kabuto were standing in front of you now, you probably wouldn't recognize him."

"This, this, why would Danzo do this?"

Although Yakushi Nono was questioning, she quickly had an answer in her heart. This was indeed something Danzo could do. Now that Kabuto's ability was above hers, she no longer had much value to Root. For her, who knew a lot of Root's secrets, death was the best destination.

Her last value was probably to become Kabuto's final stepping stone.

Perhaps, the next mission...

"Did you receive a mission to infiltrate the Hidden Stone Village?"

"Yes, next month..."

"Yakushi Kabuto is also in the Hidden Stone Village now. When you get there, the mission will become to kill a spy who betrayed the village. Because you no longer know Yakushi Kabuto's true appearance, you will attack mercilessly, and then be killed by Yakushi Kabuto, whose strength is already far above yours. This is your future fate, Konoha's discarded pieces."

Naruto calmly spoke of Yakushi Nono's fate, which shocked Minato Namikaze and Uchiha Shisui who were present. Shimura Danzo was undoubtedly making a child kill the mother who raised him with his own hands. It had to be said, he truly deserved to be the darkness of the ninja world.

"Is that so?" Yakushi Nono smiled miserably. "In that case, that child Kabuto will probably fall into darkness completely."

"That's why I said, this isn't a bad ending for you."

Naruto said this again. This time, Yakushi Nono's expression no longer had the previous resistance. Although Naruto didn't produce any definite evidence, this kind of thing didn't need too much evidence in itself.

Helping Danzo was like walking on a tightrope. That guy could even harm his own clan members, let alone their orphaned mother and son. She hadn't seen Kabuto for several years, and it couldn't be easier for Danzo to interfere.

"Naruto-kun, what about Kabuto?"

Knowing this information, Yakushi Nono couldn't help but start to worry.

"You don't need to worry about this. Yakushi Kabuto is far more outstanding than you imagine, and you will meet again in the future."

After all, Yakushi Kabuto was a behind-the-scenes character who ran through the entire Shippuden series to the finale, and he was also one of the initiators of the Fourth Shinobi World War. It can be said that without Yakushi Kabuto's Reanimation Jutsu, a large number of high-end combat forces would be missing, and it is estimated that the Fourth Shinobi World War would not have been so difficult.

"Is that so? If that's the case, then I can rest assured a little."

Nonou originally wanted to ask more about the orphanage, but after thinking about it, she didn't open her mouth. She also understood that although Naruto's strength might be very strong, it would probably be very difficult to take care of a group of orphans.

I have to say that the Nine Tails' Malice Perception is indeed a very buggy ability. Although Yakushi Nono had a satisfied look on her face, her emotions had been completely seen through by him.

"Don't worry, I will help you pay attention to the orphanage. I can't help with the funding, but at least the safety is no problem."

After saying this, Naruto felt the worry in Yakushi Nono's heart weaken a bit.

"Thank you, Naruto-kun. Please take care of me in the future." A sincere smile finally appeared on Yakushi Nono's face.

"Yeah, then please take care of me."

"Naruto, what are you going to do next?" Minato Namikaze's eyes were full of relief. Naruto was willing to help save Yakushi Nono, which showed that he also had sunshine in his heart.

"Practice hard, and then wait silently."

"Soon, the windmill will turn."
