Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

"Tell me, I hope it's not too boring."

"Okay, Teacher."

Hideki nodded, pondered slightly, and then said with loving kindness.

"Once upon a time, in a temple, there was a highly virtuous monk. As his status rose, he collected countless famous kasayas from all over the world.

However, this old monk was never satisfied. Eventually, because of a kasaya from a foreign monk, he became blinded and his heart was thrown into chaos.

To obtain this kasaya, he did not hesitate to commit murder, arson, and extortion. Unfortunately, he was discovered, and the result was naturally disgrace.

Later, someone asked him on his deathbed: You are a monk, your worldly ties are severed, and your sea of desires is dried up. Why can't you let go of a piece of clothing?"

"Tch, what kind of boring allegorical story is this?"

Tsunade pursed her lips, but in the end, she curiously asked.

"Tell me, what did that old monk say in the end? I don't think you would be so bored as to tell me such a story."

"Of course it's not boring, because that old monk, even though he was about to die, still replied with a smile."

Hideki shrugged and looked at Tsunade as he slowly said.

"If I didn't have this piece of clothing, how would the world know that my worldly ties are severed and my sea of desires is dried up?"

After telling this story, Hideki simply stopped.

He didn't know if this story was appropriate here, after all, he wasn't a monk, but he could only understand it according to his own ideas.

However, the simple and easy-to-understand meaning of this story was very clear, and Tsunade frowned at this moment.

After a while, she lightly snorted.

"What are you talking about? Are you planning to become a monk?"

"That won't do. I don't want to be a monk, and I'm not interested in being a monk."

Hideki immediately shook his head and said with a smile.

"I'm still waiting to marry a wife, how could I become a monk!"

"If that's the case, then stop telling such useless stories."

Tsunade glared at him unhappily, and then lazily said.

"Seriously, stop looking at the scrolls. I don't feel like going out either. Come over and massage my shoulders."

After hearing Hideki's words, Tsunade really didn't have the desire to go out and play anymore, because Hideki had messed up her mind.

She now needed to calm down and think carefully.

"Oh."

Looking at Tsunade's graceful, plump, and charming figure, Hideki couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but in the end, he nodded and walked over.

He knew how to massage shoulders.

"Not bad, although not skilled enough, it's still acceptable."

Tsunade closed her eyes and muttered softly, but while enjoying Hideki's back massage and shoulder rub, she was also thinking about the Wood Release.

Admittedly, she really didn't care that much, but when Wood Release really appeared, could she resist such a temptation?

After thinking about it, she realized that she seemed to be a bit two-faced.

Even if she said she didn't care, she would still have some thoughts in her heart.

"It's all because of this kid Hideki..."

Tsunade sighed in her heart, and Hideki's story from just now flashed in her mind again.

She didn't really understand monks and priests, and she didn't know what their set of rules meant, but she could still understand the simplest meaning of Hideki's story.

Buddhas rely on golden robes, and people rely on clothing. Hideki was now placing that set of monk's kasayas in front of her. Should she take it or not?

And what would it be like to take it, and what would it be like not to take it?

"This kid, he's really caused me trouble..."

Feeling the warmth from Hideki's hands, Tsunade sighed in her heart, and Hideki had also reminded her just now.

Even if she didn't care, the Senju with Wood Release and the Senju without Wood Release were really two different things.

Admittedly, the Senju clan had never relied on Wood Release, but her grandfather had made the reputation of Wood Release, causing many people to associate Wood Release with the Senju.

Now there was Hideki, but no one knew what would happen in the future. Perhaps more people with Wood Release would appear, which would increase the probability...

"Wait, damn it!"

Suddenly, Tsunade seemed to have thought of something.

Konoha had done many things for Wood Release, and now that Hideki had appeared, Konoha would definitely make more efforts to continue Wood Release!

If that was the case, then Tsunade couldn't even imagine the direction of their efforts...

"Recently, has there been any information about Shihara Hideki and the others?"

"Um, not for the time being..."

"Damn it, doesn't that kid like to mess around? How could he have been quiet all this time?"

"Perhaps, he's still recuperating. After all, it hasn't been long since the Iwagakure mission."

Inside Kirigakure, Black Zetsu was annoyed as he dealt with Obito's constant questioning. He was extremely annoyed now.

How long had it been since the Iwagakure mission ended? Shihara Hideki and the others had caused such a big mess. Don't you have any idea?

Yes, he had pulled you into the void to take the blame.

Similarly, he had also caused you an identity crisis, and it was likely that you wouldn't be able to keep your Uchiha Madara persona.

But it's meaningless for you to keep staring. You've been controlling the Mizukage for so long. Don't you know that this guy needs to be put on ice right now?

At least wait until the storm has passed for a while before this guy can continue to come out, right?

Black Zetsu was having a headache now, but he really didn't want to continue discussing this kind of thing with Obito. It really didn't have any meaning.

It's been several years, why can't this guy Obito be a little more mature?

"Also, you should be dealing with other things now, don't always focus your attention on that guy."

Black Zetsu sighed and looked at Obito as he slowly said.

"For example, hasn't Sunagakure submitted a letter, wanting to officially end the confrontation with us?"

Kirigakure had been harassing Sunagakure, and although this matter had gradually weakened three years ago because Sunagakure had stopped all activities.

But this was only a weakening; intermittent attacks continued incessantly, and this insane task was issued by Obito.

The reason was simple: he wanted the Hidden Mist to die!

Without mincing words, after so many years in the Hidden Mist, his forceful expansion of the Blood Mist Policy was aimed at avenging the Hidden Mist, at avenging Rin.

He could not let go of what happened back then; the Hidden Mist had to give an explanation, even if there were some hidden circumstances.

But Obito wouldn't care. And didn't the Hidden Mist like to launch surprise attacks, liked to travel so far to other places to play at ambushes?

Then let them slowly play with Suna in a situation without supplies or reinforcements!

"Why bother with them? I don't want to lose Suna as a 'training ground'."

Obito snorted coldly. He looked down on Suna and felt a strong aversion towards it.

If it weren't for Suna back then, how would the Third Shinobi World War have broken out?

And how could Rin have possibly died?

"They have already submitted the documents and shown sincerity. They've already sent people over."

Black Zetsu glanced at Obito, then slowly said.

"They come seeking peace. The key is their 'sincerity'. Furthermore, your constant harassment of Suna has made many in the village dissatisfied.

Obito, I know you hate the Hidden Mist, but some things should be done in moderation. As long as you control the Mizukage, you can continue to erode everything about the Hidden Mist.

Conversely, if you lose control of the Mizukage, then you really won't be able to do anything."

"Hmph, I can just control another one then."

Obito snorted softly, but he also knew this would be difficult.

The main reason they could so easily control Yagura Karatachi, the Fourth Mizukage, was that he was a Jinchuriki!

Although, strictly speaking, Jinchuriki are not afraid of genjutsu because the Tailed Beast within them can directly help them break free.

However, the Sharingan is different, especially the Mangekyo Sharingan. It can control both the Tailed Beast and the person.

This can be said to be a power unique to the Mangekyo, or it can be said to be heaven's favor for the Uchiha.

It's just that replacing him with someone else probably wouldn't be so easy.

"So, you mean to contact them and accept their conditions?"

"That's right. Accept when you should accept. Besides, Suna isn't unusable."

Seeing Obito calm down, Black Zetsu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt a wave of exhaustion.

He had led so many generations of 'Uchiha,' and there were many foolish people among them. He once thought those people were probably the worst generation he had led.

But now, with Obito, he realized he had been taking things for granted.

Admittedly, he couldn't deny that Obito had his moments of brilliance. Some problems were clear with a single point, and some things he could understand even without being reminded.

But most of the time, this guy was like an idiot, or rather, he always liked to do things his own way instead of carefully thinking and weighing the pros and cons before acting.

Like that Nine-Tails incident that made him grit his teeth, and how he provoked a plague god like Shūzawa.

But what's done is done, and there's nothing he can say now. The worst generation is the worst generation.

Besides, it's easier to control someone who's a little stupid, and with Madara Uchiha behind him, isn't this the most promising generation?

"Use them?"

While Black Zetsu was pondering, Obito also stroked his chin.

"You mean, use their resources to buy people's hearts and minds, and at the same time use them to obtain information about Konoha's movements?"

"That's right. Suna is, after all, an ally of Konoha, and they are relatively close in terms of distance."

Black Zetsu nodded. Obito was just like that, sometimes brilliant, sometimes foolish, making one's scalp tingle.

"And they don't want to be completely controlled by Konoha, so we can do a lot of things with that.

As for how to do it, it depends on our negotiations with them this time. After all, they are not peaceful masters either."

"Then it's settled. When they come, let's entertain them well."

After thinking for a while, Obito simply nodded. In fact, he didn't think they needed Suna to provide information about Konoha's movements at all.

He could completely control White Zetsu to handle it, and he himself could personally take action!

But why not have someone help them keep watch?

Anyway, as far as he was concerned, if Suna could really scout out information about that damned Shūzawa, then that wouldn't be bad either.

"It would be even better if we could get our hands on information about that Danzo Shimura as well."

Shūzawa is Danzo's man. Obito hadn't forgotten this, and he also remembered that Nagato was always thinking about Danzo.

If there was a chance to take them both out in one fell swoop, then that would be a good thing for everyone!

After all, these two are both scourges of the ninja world.

"Ah, finally I can go out and move around!"

Standing on the bow of the ship, Shūzawa looked at the surrounding sea fog, and he couldn't help but stretch.

A week had passed in the blink of an eye. Shūzawa carefully packed up the information in his hand, then comforted Kabuto and Nonō Yakushi before embarking on the road to the Hidden Mist.

To be honest, Shūzawa himself wasn't sure what he would encounter on this mission.

But strictly speaking, he felt that the problem shouldn't be too big.

After all, he would place Flying Thunder God kunai in some places along the way, and even leave some marks, which would make it easier for him to take people and run away.

And he was in a pretty good mood now. If the mission to the Hidden Mist went well, he might get a large number of free points again. How could he not be happy?

"Why don't you stay in the village, you!"
