The long river of time flows quietly, not moved by people's subjective thoughts, and fair effects on all things in the world.

Naruto celebrated his fifteenth birthday and became a sixteen-year-old boy.

According to the timeline of the parallel world, he should be busy destroying the conspiracy of those ambitious people at this time, and constantly improving his strength in the process to cope with the Fourth Ninja World War that will take place soon.

However, in the current timeline affected by the sky, the sixteen-year-old Naruto lives a three-point life of mission-training-rest.

Moreover, each mission is basically completed smoothly, and there are no more accidents that force the difficulty of the mission to increase, which makes Naruto who participates in it call it boring and depressed many times.

But Naruto doesn't think about it. The missions accepted by Team 7 now are either S-level or A-level, and the difficulty of the mission has already reached the top.

In addition, there are two teammates in the team, he and Sasuke, who are almost beyond the level of Kage, Kakashi, an elite of Kage, and Sakura, who is basically a teammate with the strength of a senior ninja even if he is slightly inferior.

Even if something unexpected really happened during the mission, it would take only a few minutes to solve it. It was impossible for Naruto to experience the kind of hearty battle as in the past.

Sasuke saw this very clearly. He knew very well that the current team was for them to learn all kinds of lacking experience from Kakashi, so he didn't care about the lack of opportunities to show their strength.

However, because Naruto complained too much, Sasuke was really annoyed. As a last resort, Sasuke fought with him several times. Although the intensity was not high, it made up for Naruto's frustration that he could not fight as much as he wanted.

On this day, Team 7 completed a guard mission. On the way back to Konoha, Naruto once again complained about the enemy's disappointment.

"Ah~ That minister is really lame. Seeing him so arrogant to the princess, I thought he had some powerful skills and subordinates, but it turns out that he only has the ability to control blood after touching others, and he wants to take away the princess's country. I was so excited at the beginning, thinking that I could finally fight to my heart's content. It was really a waste of joy." Naruto walked in front, holding his head with both hands, and said nonchalantly.

"Just be content. If we hadn't changed our image on purpose for this mission, the minister might have surrendered when he saw you. This kind of thing has happened before. I don't understand why you are so excited every time." Sakura, who was following behind, said speechlessly.

"Don't waste your breath with this guy. It's been so long, and he still hasn't figured out what his strength is! This time must be the same as the previous few times, and he hasn't learned anything!" Sasuke mocked unhappily, making Naruto hum unhappily when he heard it.

"Don't look down on me! I took note of everything Kakashi said, um... always pay attention to the client's situation, don't trust anyone other than the client, uh, and..."

Watching Naruto stuttering and repeating his reminders during the mission, Kakashi helplessly covered his forehead and sighed: "Naruto, you don't have to think so hard. Although my original intention is to let you develop comprehensively, to be honest, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, so don't force it too much, but I still want to remind you of one thing."

Looking at Kakashi's slightly serious expression, Naruto restrained his relaxation and made a gesture of listening carefully.

"I admit that you and Sasuke are now at the pinnacle of the ninja world. I am far inferior to your teacher, so I am not qualified to say these words, but there are some things that cannot be left unsaid... I don't know if you have noticed that you were quite arrogant when you mentioned that minister!"

"Yes, the ability to control blood that requires contact is indeed a joke to you, but don't forget that no matter how simple the ability is, as long as the occasion is right, the threat and destructive power that can be erupted sometimes will not be worse than your Rasenshuriken. Even if it really can't threaten you, can you guarantee that the people around you will not be affected..."

"Don't blame me for exaggerating your current state. Don't you think you are a bit like Uchiha Madara who pursues power, Naruto..." Kakashi looked directly into Naruto's eyes, patted his shoulder and said seriously: "Power is not everything. You should know this best. Don't underestimate those who are not as strong as you... Teacher hopes that you can always stay on the right path. After all, our dreams are allBecome Hokage, isn't it. "

"I seem to be a little bit arrogant recently..." Naruto scratched his face apologetically, but soon he calmed down and said to Kakashi firmly: "I've got it, Kakashi-sensei! I won't look down on anyone anymore, so please continue to lead me, I will seriously learn all the experience you impart!"

"Well, I may disappoint you. Regarding this, the village has other arrangements for you..." Kakashi said embarrassedly: "The specific situation will be clear after you return to Konoha. If the information I received is correct, it should be that Lord Jiraiya has made some moves."

Let's not talk about what action plan Jiraiya has later. On this day, in the rain-shrouded Rain Village, an uninvited guest stepped into this area.

In the tallest tower in the village, Nagato, who was discussing work with Konan, paused for a moment, and then stood up suddenly, startling Konan who was completely unprepared.

"What's wrong, Nagato? "Konan stood up and asked, and saw Nagato walk through the door into the rain curtain, feeling the information conveyed by the rain, and responded with a slightly cold face: "There is an uninvited guy..."

"Who?" Konan also showed a serious expression. At this time, there were only a few people in the ninja world who could make Nagato so angry, and Nagato's answer did not surprise Konan.

"The guy who claimed to be Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito..." Nagato said coldly, and his hostility was released without concealment: "Is it because his identity was exposed? According to his habit, he should have appeared directly in this tower, but now he is staying in the outer sea..."

"Outer sea? ! That's not..." Konan's expression moved slightly, Nagato knew what she wanted to say, nodded, and then said: "Yes, it's the place where you fought with him on the sky curtain... What does he want to do when he appears there? Provoke? Hehe, anyway, since he has already invited me, I should go and meet this man who treats me as a chess piece, but he is also treated as a chess piece by others..."

"I'm afraid he has some conspiracy, so let me come out first, or Nagato, you use the body of Tendou." Konan, who was a little worried, made a suggestion. Nagato agreed to this request after pondering for a moment, and controlled Tendou Pain to go to the open sea with Konan to see what Obito was up to.

As soon as he arrived here, he saw Obito who was no longer wearing a mask and was only wearing a black robe, but Konan had no intention of relaxing at all, and tensed his body ready to attack Obito at any time.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm not here to fight you today." Obito's voice was a little hoarse, but he really couldn't feel the hostility from his tone. Of course, this did not affect Tendou's impression of him, and he immediately said bluntly: "Really, I thought you deliberately chose this place as your burial place, how about it, did you notice the 600 billion detonating tags under the water? "

"Haha, if you are really ready, I am not afraid to give it a try. After all, not everyone is qualified to see the scale of 600 billion detonating tags." Obito responded without losing face, and then smiled at Tendo Pain: "On the contrary, you are still unwilling to show your true self, Nagato."

"Humph! Stop talking nonsense, why are you here today! If you don't tell me the reason, then I will prepare to take action. I promise that I will never let you leave safely! "

Tian Dao raised his hand with a cold face, and the invisible gravity tried to wrap around Obito, but it was obvious that Obito remained in a virtual state.

After all, regardless of the hidden backdoor, Nagato's strength at this time was undoubtedly superior to Obito. Even if Obito did not have any hostility on this trip, he could not completely rely on his opponent's retention of his hands.

"Be patient, Nagato, you should understand that if I didn't really have something to find you, I would not be here, because no matter how I quibble, I do need to take a lot of responsibility for your current situation, so..."

"Enough! Stop talking nonsense! If you are really ashamed, then surrender obediently, or tell me your purpose, I have been patient to the limit! "

Tendou's eyes glared fiercely, and a strong impact was released towards Obito from him, but it only exploded the water surface around him and merged into the surrounding rain.

"Okay, I won't say this, but for the next thing, I hope to talk to your real body directly. You shouldn't worry about me causing any trouble in your base camp. "As he said that, Obito activated Kamui and disappeared on the spot. Because of his provocation, Tendo Pain did not take action the moment he materialized. Although Konan was a little worried about this, she would not oppose Nagato's decision in this situation, so she and Tendo turned around and rushed to the location of his body.

In any case, with more people, it would be easier to deal with if they really turned hostile later.

Relying on the induction of Nagato's chakra, Obito came to the tower where his body was. As soon as he appeared, several black sticks shot out and penetrated Obito's body. Seeing this, Obito couldn't help but sigh: "Nagato, I know you have grievances, but I did come here with sincerity today. If the talks really fail, it will be a loss for both of us." After saying that, Obito looked at the figure walking out of the darkness, and his expression suddenly froze: "Why..." "Are you surprised..." Nagato, wearing an Akatsuki robe, walked to a position four or five body lengths away from Obito, and his originally emaciated face had actually recovered his past appearance: "Although the original owner of this pair of Samsara eyes was not me, I have used it for decades after all. So, with the existing template, using these eyes as a stepping stone, it is not difficult to create a Yang escape ninjutsu to restore the body... If you still look at me with the eyes of the past, I promise that if you turn against me later, you will definitely not have an easy time." Looking at the undisguised hostility in Nagato's eyes, Obito was a little ashamed. Avoiding his eyes: "I don't underestimate you, but rather, the deeper your mastery of the Samsara Eye, the more beneficial it is to me."

"What do you mean?"

"This is related to the sincerity I mentioned." Obito paused and said to Nagato seriously: "Nagato, cooperate with me, I need you to use the power of the Samsara Eye to help me remove the curse seal in my heart. In exchange, I will tell you all the restrictions left by Uchiha Madara on you!"

"Ridiculous! Let's not talk about you as Uchiha Madara's pawn, how can you understand all the restrictions he left on me! Let's talk about cooperation, do you think that the harm you have done to us will be wiped out just because you are also a victim!" Nagato looked at Obito with cold eyes: "Let me be frank, Uchiha Obito, I don't trust you! I am not Uzumaki Naruto, and I will not choose to forgive the enemy unconditionally! If you come here today just to tell this joke, try my method next!"

As he said this, Nagato wanted to take action. Although Obito did not react at all, after saying a name, Nagato immediately stopped.

"Black Zetsu..." Looking at Nagato's slightly moving eyes, Obito said calmly: "Black Zetsu is in my hands now. He controls all the backdoors for Uchiha Madara to control the two of us. I think you should not doubt this."

"As for the trust issue between you and me...To be honest, I don't trust you either. In this matter, I am the one who needs to take huge risks. After all, when dealing with the curse seal in my heart, my body must be in a physical state, and you don't need to worry about these."

Obito pursed his lips and continued: "If you think cooperation is unreliable, then treat it as a deal, Nagato...This is your chance to completely master the Samsara Eye. I don't believe you will miss it, or are you ready to entrust everything to Naruto, including the future of the Hidden Rain Village."

Obito's question made Nagato silent for a moment, but he did not answer the question, but asked back: "I am curious, what is your reason for doing this?"
