Dark Naruto's acting life

"The Tree Worship Cult has basically taken control of the entire world now. The original Whirlpool Country has been completely taken over by the core of the Tree Worship Cult, the Kara Organization."

"Those who originally belonged to Naruto's Dawn Organization were brainwashed and completely loyal to the Kara Organization, becoming their most loyal fighters. Now, those people have been sent back to their hometowns by the head of the Kara Organization to serve in management positions, that is, to assist the Tree Worship Cult in performing the Sacred Tree Sacrifice. These people are now called Sacred Tree Messengers."

"This sect... no, it should be the Kara organization that has spread its tentacles throughout the ninja world after taking over Naruto's original power. It is quite difficult for us to make a breakthrough under such circumstances."

In a quiet room.

Minato told the Second Hokage the information he had collected over the past period of time.

The second generation checked his findings and found that they basically matched what Minato said.

The current world order is still one of checks and balances among the six major countries.

That is, the original five major countries plus the newly emerging Whirlpool Country.

All the original small countries and villages were abolished and incorporated into the territories of nearby countries.

Naruto had never been able to do this before, and he needed to work slowly, but under the influence of that mysterious technique, he easily eliminated the resistance and national consciousness of those small countries.

The current political structure of each country is very clear. There are three highest leaders in a country, namely the head of state, the leader of the ninja village, and the elders of the tree-worshiping church.

The three people symbolize political power, military power, and religion, and each has his own duties.

The head of state is responsible for people's livelihood, and the leader of the ninja village, that is, the Kage of each village, is responsible for armaments.

The last church elder is only responsible for the worship of the sacred tree.

Having said that, the one with the most power and position among the three is none other than the elder who only requires sacrifice.

The so-called sacred tree is not a totem, but a real tree, or to be more precise, the roots of a tree.

Minato had learned a lot of things from Naruto before, and he knew that the sacred tree was actually the so-called "Ten Tails".

It feeds on humans and uses chakra as nourishment.

Each country needs to contribute one thousand people every month to feed the sacred tree, and the day when those one thousand people are sent to the sacred tree every month is the so-called sacrifice day.

One thousand people per month, that’s six thousand people in total from six countries.

This is a huge number.

But instead of feeling fear, people were very supportive of tree worship.

In addition to being affected by the methods used by Jigen, it was also because the main people used for sacrifices to the sacred tree were "criminals", "wanderers" and "dying old people".

That is, people on the margins of society who are outside the level of ordinary people.

Their life and death have nothing to do with ordinary people.

But things were different after the emergence of the tree worship cult. The death of these people would bring good weather and good harvests for the next month. Also, any believer who was sick could ask for the sap of the sacred tree to save his life.

The sap of the sacred tree is very effective. No matter if you have a headache or a fever, or a big hole in your chest, as long as you still have a breath, the sap of the sacred tree can save you.

The only thing needed to perform such a miracle is the lives of some old guys or criminals who have never been seen before. Isn’t it worthy of all living beings’ kneeling down to worship?

Thus, tree worship became popular.

However, both Minato and the Second Generation knew that the human lives sacrificed were just the beginning. Once the tree matured, it would no longer need thousands of lives, but would use this world as food.

Preventing this from happening is the consensus of the second and fourth generations.

And the root of everything lies in the man named Cixian.

"Do you have any idea about his whereabouts?" asked the second generation.

Minato shook his head, "I've actually been looking for him, but since that day, he seemed to have disappeared from this world without a trace."

The second generation pinched his chin and thought: "It seems that if we want to find him, we still have to start from the branches of the sacred trees in various places. After cleaning up those sacred tree messengers and then sawing down the sacred trees, I don't believe he can hide there any longer."

The Fourth Hokage: "But the problem is that we don't have that ability now. The messengers of the Divine Tree are all made up of those powerful people in the ninja world, such as the people from the original Akatsuki organization. They were already powerful, and now they have become messengers of the Divine Tree. After swallowing the buds of the Divine Tree, their strength has been further improved. With so many powerful enemies, we have no way to achieve the goal of eradicating the roots of the Divine Tree."

It's not that the fourth generation is trying to boost other people's morale, what he stated is the fact.

Not to mention that the other side has more people and more power, there are already a lot of problems on our side.

Minato's body is in a state of reincarnation of a corpse soul. When Naruto was around, he could use the Hell Road of the Rinnegan to help repair it, but after Naruto disappeared, his body has been weakening. If he fights with others frequently, it won't be long before he will return to the Pure Land and there will be no hope of resurrection. By then, everything will be over.

Even the Second Hokage, the founder of the technique, could not change this.

In fact, this characteristic of the corpse's soul reincarnation was one of the reasons why he chose to sneak into the hospital instead of breaking into it head-on.

The same is true when choosing Sasuke, the Uchiha brat, for training.

The Second Generation looked at Minato and said, "Fourth Generation, I actually have a plan for this. What I want you to do is more about gathering intelligence rather than fighting the enemy head-on."

"Your consciousness is..." Minato asked puzzled.

"Let me tell you my plan..."

The second generation immediately told Minato all of his plans.

After hearing this, Minato's eyes lit up with hope, but soon dimmed again.

The second generation wanted to train Uchiha Sasuke as the savior.

From the reasons for choosing him to a series of training plans, everything is detailed and thorough.

But the question is, can Sasuke really reach the heights that the second generation envisioned?

Minato expressed some concern about this.

But, no matter what, he saw a glimmer of hope in despair.

For that glimmer of hope, Minato is willing to do his best to help the second generation implement this plan.

after one day.

Minato prepared to leave Konoha.

His original intention of this trip was to save Boruto, but judging from the current situation, there was no way the other party would let him take him away.

But the good news is that Jigen doesn't seem to intend to kill Boruto, otherwise, he could use the child's life to threaten Minato to surrender.

In this way, there is no need to rush to rescue Boruto. It may be better to take a long-term view.

After making up his mind, Minato was eager to go home because Kushina was still waiting for him in her hiding place.

Hinata and Ino's memories were modified, all thanks to Kushina's sealing technique. If there were any other situations, she would definitely not be able to cope with it.

Must go back as soon as possible.

Before leaving, the second generation told Minato a good news.

That is, perhaps he could use the eye left by Itachi to help his two daughters-in-law return to normal.

The eye Itachi left behind was his Tsukuyomi Eye.

That eye possesses an illusion called "Mirror Flower and Water Moon".

Can change the memory of the person being affected.

The only problem is that the technique still needs to be perfected before it can be used. After all, judging from Sasuke's performance, the Mirror Flower and Water Moon cannot immediately remove the influence of the divine technique. Instead, it will cause two memories, one true and one false, to conflict with each other. The Second Hokage cannot be sure of the damage and consequences that will be caused to the person being cast.

But no matter what, Minato saw hope in it.

Not only did his two daughters-in-law return to normal, Minato thought that it might be able to be used to do more things, such as awakening the messengers of the sacred tree whose minds had been affected and using them as internal support.
