Naruto's Best Actor

Chapter 8 The Cursed Man

Konoha.

The Third Ninja World War, led by the four fire shadows, Namikaze Gate, achieved unprecedented results.

As a victorious nation, Konoha received huge war reparations.

Not only the Uchiha, Hinata and other wealthy families who participated in the war before gained a lot of profits, but even the ordinary villagers in Konoha Village also felt the benefits of the war.

Root headquarters, underground darkroom.

A world sandbox map is placed on the huge table. On both sides of the map, stand the third generation Hokage and the founder of the root, Shimura Danzo.

As a hardliner, Shimura Danzo showed a happy expression on his face. In the three battles that just ended, it was precisely because of his close cooperation with Sarutobi Hiruzen that the Fourth Hokage could lead the ninjas without any scruples. Fight outside without caring about the home front.

In order to win the war, Danzo put aside the old estrangement with Sarutobi Hiruzen, temporarily united together, and even recalled the good times they had together when they were young.

"Sarutobi, as long as you and I work together, there is nothing in this world that is impossible."

Unlike Danzo Shimura, the former Hokage, who had just won the victory, had a trace of sadness on his face.

"You and I are already old, and the future of the village depends on the younger generation."

"You still don't agree with me to continue to expand the war?"

"Continuing to expand the war will be of no benefit to anyone. Konoha has already gained the greatest benefit from the war. If it continues to expand, it will rise to a country-destroying war. By then, whether it is Sunagakure, Kumogakure or Iwagakure Go all out, even Kirigakure will no longer stand idly by. No matter how strong Konoha is, it will not be able to deal with the attacks of four major countries at the same time."

"So what if they join forces..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped Danzo's next words, "I know the wish in your heart, but we are different from the first generation. We do not have his absolutely overwhelming power. War is a big gamble, and no one knows what will happen next. Ye is not the winner so, now, stop it”

Danzo was about to refute when a member of the Root suddenly appeared in the huge conference room.

The root belongs to Danzo, and even the Hokage has no right to interfere.

This root member saw Sarutobi here and hesitated to speak.

"If you have anything, just tell me. There are no secrets here that the Third Hokage cannot know."

"Yes," the root member replied, "Amegakure Sanshoyu Hanzo's envoy has come secretly."

"I see"

"Sansho Hanzo, what do you want to do?" Sarutobi asked after the root member left.

"It's just solving some bugs," Danzo Shimura said confidently, "The positions of the Land of Rain and the Country of Kawazu are very important, and Hanzo's toughness can ensure that Ugakure of the Kawakuni remains neutral on the stand of the great powers. And the recent An organization named Akatsuki has emerged, and their attitude is too weak. If they are allowed to expand, it will be extremely detrimental to Konoha. Because of the war, I have no time to pay attention to them for the time being. Now that the three wars have basically subsided, it is It’s time to get rid of these bugs.”

Sarutobi nodded and said: "I know the private deal between you and Sansho Hanzo, don't go too far."

........

Xiao headquarters.

"Lord Yahiko, this is a negotiation document sent by Hanzo Sanshouyu. He hopes to use our power to mediate between the three major countries."

"That's great." After Xiaonan took the file, her face was filled with a smile of joy, "If we succeed, then our Akatsuki's reputation will definitely rise to the next level."

Yahiko shook his head and said: "This matter is a bit strange. Although we are both Amegakure, Sanshouyu Hanzo has never contacted us. Why did he suddenly think of us this time?"

Yahiko was hesitant about this matter, but there were mostly happy voices inside Akatsuki.

This is a great opportunity, and if it succeeds, Akatsuki will make a name for herself.It is undoubtedly a huge temptation for Akatsuki to survive in the cracks between big powers.

"Nagato, what do you think?"

To be cautious, Yahiko asked Nagato for his opinion.

Although he is one of the founders of Akatsuki, Nagato has no sense of existence.His long hair covered his eyes, and when he saw Xiaonan's hopeful gaze, he said slowly: "I think this is also an opportunity."

The vast majority of people in Xiaozhong agreed to go to mediate, and Yahiko couldn't speak out against it.

"Okay then, let's accept this mission."

......

Under the starry sky, Nagato and Konan were walking in the forest.

Without Yahiko's presence, the atmosphere was a little awkward just with Nagato and Konan together.The two walked in the night sky for a long time, and Nagato didn't say a word.

"Nagato, we have a mission tomorrow, what do you want to say to me?"

Konan asked, bending down and looking at Nagato sideways.

"I...actually I..."

"kindness"

Konan looked at Nagato in confusion, making him too nervous to speak.

"I will definitely help Yahiko complete his mission tomorrow and make Xiaoyang famous."

"Well, I know you can do it." Xiaonan straightened up and said with a smile, "The teacher also said that you have the power to change the world. Although Yahiko doesn't say it, he has always recognized you."

"kindness"

"Let's go back"

........

"Is this the host of the Samsara Eye?"

Shikamaru stood high up, looking at the two people strolling below, and murmured.

A Fei stood aside. At this moment, he, like all the Bai Jue, had gradually returned to human form, and was no longer a humanoid creature similar to spores.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve had this feeling, the feeling of being a human being.”

Time has passed, and the memory of A Fei's predecessor as a human has long since faded away.However, he was extremely excited now that he had it again.

Shikamaru turned around and glanced at him.Ah Fei indeed possesses something human again, but to say that he is human is an exaggeration.

That day, after Shikamaru devoured Indra and the heretic demons one after another, through the natural energy that had been tamed long ago, the three merged into a new power.

Shikamaru calls it Shadow Escape

A Fei and other Bai Jue are affiliated with the heretic demons.After the Heretic Golem disappeared, they became attached to Shikamaru who devoured it.

Perhaps due to the influence of Shadow Escape, A Fei and the other White Zetsu became existences between humans and shadows.

A Fei and other Bai Jue have human forms, human thoughts, human senses, and human appetites, but they are shadows and can be merged into the darkness, even forever.

In a sense, they are even weirder than Bai Zetsu, who is a spore plant.Therefore, Bai Jue has a new name, Ying Jue.

"Lord, do we want to take action?"

"Yes, but not now"

With his current strength, it is undoubtedly a foolish dream to capture Konan from Shimura Danzo and Sansho Hanzo, but if he starts from Akatsuki headquarters, if Nagato's ferocity is inspired and he awakens the Rinnegan Eye, then It’s even more worth the loss.
