Dark Naruto's acting life

When clone No. 1 saw that the battle was over, he jumped down from the tree.

He came to the main body and handed the clothes that had been prepared long ago to Naruto.

Naruto took the clothes and then tore off the shredded hospital gown on his body.

hula.

Naruto threw the new clothes in his hand and put them on.

Unlike the common clothes in Konoha, this piece of clothing was custom-made by Naruto at a clothing store after his transformation.

Black pants and a black top. The style of the top is similar to the Chinese Tang suit, but with some improvements, a stand-up collar, Chinese buttons, and purple edging on the edge of the clothes.

After putting on his tops and bottoms, Naruto finally picked up the purple vest coat and put it on.

Number One looked at the original body and said, "Very good, very suitable, the same style as Assassins Five, Six and Seven, but won't this outfit be too conspicuous?"

Naruto himself didn't think so. He smiled and said, "There are many people in the ninja world who dress more flamboyantly than me."

"That's true."

"So are you going to set off for Wave Country next?"

"Yes. If everything goes well, I should be able to get a large sum of money from somewhere. With that money, I will be able to buy new equipment to carry out more research. The mission of this base has been completed, and you have worked hard. Go and have a rest."

Number One: "What about the arrangements in the village?"

"Just use a shadow clone to replace it. I will keep ten shadow clones as backup. If a clone is accidentally broken, let another clone use Flying Thunder God to fly over and replace it. Normally, it should not be discovered."

"I'm glad you have made your plans. After two years of hard research, we are almost at our limit. We will probably collapse in a month or two. Why don't you dismiss us today? Do it one by one. If you dismiss all ten of us at once, you might be overwhelmed by too much knowledge."

"I understand." The main body nodded, "Number One..."

"what?"

"You are so gentle."

"Damn it, Master, you are just bragging."

……

late at night.

Within the Uchiha clan territory.

Sasuke hasn't slept yet. Even though he has accepted the reality of his clan's annihilation, the rage for revenge is still burning in him.

He would practice until late at night every day, one reason being to become stronger, and the other being to make himself tired enough, otherwise as soon as he closed his eyes he would think of what happened that day.

In a house not far from Sasuke, Naruto, wearing an assassin's suit, was secretly observing Sasuke's every move.

Seeing the boy's crazy look, Naruto couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said to himself: "How long is this guy going to keep making trouble? Forget it, just knock him out."

Suddenly, Sasuke, who was exercising seriously, felt a pain in his neck, and then his eyes rolled back and he lost consciousness.

Naruto caught Sasuke and carried him back home.

After settling him down, Naruto created a shadow clone.

"You do it."

"it is good."

Without any hesitation, Shadow Clone Naruto used the Heart-Seal on Sasuke.

hum!

The clone fell to the ground and his consciousness entered Sasuke's body.

At this moment, Naruto's clone became Sasuke, experiencing the most painful suffering he had ever experienced.

……

It was an ordinary day.

After finishing the exam, little Naruto trotted home.

It was already late, past the usual dinner time at home.

But Sasuke knew that his family must be waiting for him to come back and have dinner together.

"Mom, Dad and Brother, I'll be there soon!"

As he approached home, he sensed something unusual.

A black cat ran past him in panic.

Naruto was startled.

The smell of blood filled the entire alley.

He was a little scared.

It seemed like something was staring at him.

“Why does it smell like this?”

Blood slowly seeped out from the Uchiha clan's land.

"what is that?"

Hurrah!

A torrent of blood broke through the gate of the Uchiha clan and rushed towards him. In the bloody torrent, little Naruto saw countless broken limbs, countless rotten human heads, and countless blood-red eyeballs.

They cried to Naruto, "Avenge us! Kill him! Kill him!"

"what!"

Little Naruto was so scared that he almost became incontinent.

He fell to the ground, unable to move even a step.

The blood submerged him in an instant.

His mouth was filled with countless blood plasma, severed limbs and even rotten corpses.

"vomit……"

Naruto wanted to vomit, but the corrupt substances that poured in pushed the vomit back.

"My stupid brother."

Just when Naruto felt he was about to die, a hand pulled him out of the blood.

"Itachi...Brother...you came to save me?"

"Weak thing. Just a little illusion reveals your true form."

"You..." Little Naruto widened his eyes. At this moment, he felt that his brother in front of him was so strange.

Itachi looked indifferent, he continued: "I will spare your life. If you want revenge, then hate me. Then, I will take your name when the time is right."

"what!!!!"

……

boom!

The moment the mind-body technique ended, Naruto's shadow clone exploded.

Everything he saw, did, and felt was transmitted back to his body.

Pfft!

Naruto's heart skipped a beat, and then endless hatred rose in his heart.

The strong emotional fluctuations made his eyes bloodshot.

However, the imagined three-magatama promotion to Mangekyo did not happen.

Panting heavily, Naruto took a long time to calm his restless heart.

“Huff, huff, is this the art of mind-body connection? The intense feeling of being there almost made me lose my mind. The huge psychological impact on the caster, this is why it is listed as a forbidden technique…”

"It's a pity that even with such strong emotional fluctuations, it can't meet the requirements to open the Kaleidoscope?"

Naruto was a little disappointed.

Ever since he learned about the existence of this technique from Ino, he had been wondering if he could use this technique to find a shortcut for the remaining Sharingan.

He never used this technique himself after obtaining it, but judging from the performance of Sasuke and Ino, the emotional impact of mind-body connection on people is indeed strong.

So he became more convinced of the effectiveness of this technique, but now it seems that the effect is not as good as he imagined.

Supporting himself on the ground, Naruto stood up from his half-kneeling position.

"But it's not useless. I can feel a strange chakra overflowing from my glasses. According to Orochimaru's research data and the notes of the Second Hokage obtained from the Hokage Building, this chakra is the key to promoting eye opening... Well, it seems that I need stronger emotional stimulation."

Naruto does have a backup candidate.

Kakashi.

His first half of life was also full of ups and downs. First, his respected father was forced to commit suicide due to rumors. Then two classmates died. After that, his teacher and his wife passed away together. All these blows made him want to commit suicide.

If I could achieve telepathic connection with Kakashi, then it would probably not be long before I could open my eyes.

Unfortunately, Kakashi was out on a mission, and even if Naruto was willing to take the risk and cast a spell on Kakashi, he couldn't find him.

"Forget it, just wait and see."

The Land of Waves, a small island country surrounded by the sea.

He is located directly south of the Fire Nation.

It would take an ordinary person about four or five days to travel from Konoha to the Land of Waves.

Ninjas are fast, but it still takes at least two days.

It’s easy to get there by land, but the only thing that’s slow is that you need to take a boat across the sea.

Most of these two days were wasted on crossing the sea.

The technology tree in the Naruto world is very strange. In the later Boruto era, there were even computers, thunder cars, and handheld game consoles, but in the Naruto Shippuden era, there was not even a decent steam engine.

Sailing on the sea mostly relies on sailing boats.

Especially for an island country like Wave Country which is surrounded by the sea, before the construction of cross-sea bridges, people had to rely on boats to travel.

Many boatmen make a living from this.

The young boatman Urazono Shinnosuke was one of them.

Today he received a big business deal. An unreasonably young customer chartered his boat for a full 1,000 taels of commission, but only asked him to take him to a small fishing village in the Land of Waves.

Kinosuke was very familiar with the fishing village, so he happily agreed.

There was a favorable wind today, and Kiinosuke's small sailboat was moving very fast.

Because the wind was favorable and there was no need to paddle, Kiyosuke, who had nothing to do, asked the guest sitting at the bow curiously, "My dear guest, you look like an ordinary person from your attire. Are you going to travel to the Land of Waves?"

The man at the bow was wearing strange black and purple clothes and a mask on his face, so his features could not be seen clearly, but his unique golden hedgehog hairstyle was easy to recognize. In the entire Naruto world, the only person with this hairstyle, besides the dead Minato Namikaze, was Temari from the Land of Sand, but this guy was obviously a man, so he could only be Uzumaki Naruto.

Naruto did not ignore the boatman's question.

Without even turning his head, he said, "No, if I had to say it, I would go do business."

"Doing business?" Kinosuke was quite confused.

The country of waves is a very poor place and has a huge demand for all kinds of materials. It is not difficult to understand why they want to do business there. But this customer doesn't look very old no matter how you look at him. Can such a kid do good business?

More importantly, in his impression, apart from bandits and robbers who do business without capital, no businessman would wear a mask when going out to do business.

However, he was too sensible to ask any further questions.

He laughed and said, "It's good to do business. But you should be careful not to provoke those tax collectors at the port. They are Cardo's subordinates. Cardo is a bastard with a cruel heart. If you provoke him, I'm afraid you will have a hard time."

"Huh?" Naruto was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to hear Cardo's name so easily.

He followed the boatman's words and asked, "Who is Cardo?"

"He is the boss of the famous Cardo Company. He has a lot of money, many connections, and many people under him. He came to Wave Country to do business a few years ago. At first, it was pretty good. The things he sold were of good quality and cheap. But after he took root in Wave Country, everything changed. He raised gangs to fight against competitors. After becoming the only one in the world, he monopolized all trade in Wave Country. Now, he is the most powerful person in Wave Country. In Wave Country, whether you are doing business or traveling, you need to pay taxes to him. For a small business like mine, I have to pay a quarter of my monthly income to them. They are really cruel."

"This card charges such a heavy tax, aren't you afraid that everyone will resist together?"

"It's useless. Cardo is not afraid. He not only has a large number of subordinates, but also powerful ninjas working for him. No matter how many of us there are, they are not enough for those ninjas to kill. Even if someone dares to resist, we don't know where to find Cardo. That man has always been cautious. He has more than 20 open residences. No one knows where he lives."

"I see. Looks like I'll have to put in some effort to catch this guy."

"What did you say, guest?"

"without……"

……

This map of Wave Country is not the first time it has appeared.

In the original Naruto, the four members of Team 7 accepted an escort mission from the builder Dazna from the Land of Waves and went to the Land of Waves.

Because it didn't involve any major danger and they wouldn't encounter any hostile ninjas, the mission was only rated C-level. However, as soon as they arrived at the border of Wave Country, they were ambushed by Zabuza of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Upon questioning, they learned that Dazna had lied about the difficulty of the mission.

After much consideration, the team leader Kakashi decided to continue the mission, and then Team 7 had its first real battle.

This time, Naruto went to the Land of Waves alone not for minor characters like Zabuza and Dazna, but to find the Kado mentioned by the boatman.

He is the boss of Cardo Company and one of the richest men in the ninja world.

In the original work, he hired Zabuza and others to assassinate Dazna in order to stop the construction of the Wave Country's bridge so that he could continue to monopolize the Wave Country's trade.

A few months ago, Naruto estimated that the Wave Country in this timeline should have been targeted by Cardo, but he didn't expect that guy to be so powerful and had already controlled the Wave Country.

Naruto was very satisfied with this, which meant that Cardo had made a lot of money.

He wanted to find Cardo.

Needless to say, after finding it, they tortured him to find out where his wealth was.

After getting a lot of small money, Naruto's many plans can be carried out better.

……

The boat had a smooth journey and soon arrived at a beach in the Land of Waves.

The boatman didn't take Naruto to a regular port, because that was Cardo's territory and one had to pay to dock there.

"Sir, the village you mentioned is not far away. Although we can go there by boat, it takes about five hours. It is faster for us to walk, which only takes about three hours. Do you want to continue to take the boat or walk?"

Three hours of walking is not a short journey, but it doesn’t matter, just take it as an opportunity to enjoy the scenery.

The destination of his trip is the bridgehead of the cross-sea bridge built by Dazna. In order to consolidate the interests of his own business group, Cardo will certainly not let the bridge be completed. For this reason, he will send people to make trouble. If he wants to obtain intelligence, he believes that starting from there will be a good choice.

The boatman hid his boat and went ashore to take Naruto out.

But at this moment, a group of people emerged from the bushes.

There were five of them, all with vicious eyes and unfriendly faces.

Judging from the looks of it, it should be coming for Naruto and the others.

"Oh no! It's the tax collection team from Cardo!" The boatman was terrified. "Guest, let's run!"

After saying this, the boatman turned around and tried to escape, but a strong man with a naked upper body came up from behind him.

The boatman was in a hurry to run away and bumped into the strong man. The strong man didn't move at all, but the boatman fell to the ground with a thud.

"you……"

The boatman looked at the big man and wanted to say something, but the big man pulled out the big knife from his back and put it on the boatman's neck.

The boatman swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

The big man looked at the poor fellow with a half-smile: "Me what?"

"I..." The boatman was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

The five people who surrounded them had now come closer.

One of the bald men, who was in the lead, stepped on the boatman Kiyosuke's head and said, "How dare you evade taxes? Don't you know that Lord Cardo stipulates that all ships must stop at a certain port before docking?"

The boatman tried to argue: "I... I didn't go out to sea at all. I just came to the beach to hang out."

"you are lying!"

Upon hearing that, the man stepped hard and stomped on the boatman until he cried for his parents.

"Do you think we are fools? I chased after you because I saw your boat! Stop talking nonsense. You violated the rules and you will be fined two thousand taels. Your boat will also be detained. If you want to redeem it, you have to pay another two thousand taels. Now, you either pay me or I break one of your legs to set an example. Make your choice!"

"What?!" The boatman was shocked when he heard that.

His annual income was at most around 12,000 taels, or about 6,000 yuan.

The prices in the Naruto world are not very cheap. A bowl of the cheapest and most common Ichiraku ramen is about 27 taels. The boatman's income of taels is only about taels per day, which is not enough to buy even a bowl of Ichiraku ramen.

Of course, the consumption of the Wave Country cannot be compared with that of a big country like the Fire Country.

In the Land of Waves, if he saved a little bit of 10,000 taels, it would be enough to support his whole family, but Cardo's men now demanded a fine of 4,000 taels. Isn't this asking for his life?
