Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

“I'm not quite sure how to choose yet, but I saw something different in his eyes.”

Obito didn't mind Black Zetsu's 'cowardice'; his mind was filled with Itachi Uchiha.

“This kid seems to have a different kind of feeling towards Konoha. It's not hard to guess what kind of choice he will make.

To be honest, I really didn't expect the son of the Uchiha clan leader to become like this.”

“What's wrong, seeing your former self?”

Black Zetsu asked somewhat jokingly, and Obito actually nodded.

“That's right, there is indeed a shadow of my former self, but I am different from him. His resources are much richer than mine.

As for me, I guess it's because his resources are too good and his status is too high that he never puts the so-called clansmen in his eyes.

But that's okay, with a beginning, perhaps the follow-up will become easier.

Now he loves the village, but later, when he realizes that whether it's the village or the world, it's just the source of chaos.

I think he will make the truly correct choice.”

“Maybe.”

Black Zetsu glanced at Obito, but he also nodded.

Obito really loved the village, and even fantasized about becoming Hokage, but he met Madara Uchiha.

And through Nohara Rin, who also deeply loved the village, he was slapped and told to 'screw the Hokage dream'.

As for Itachi Uchiha, Black Zetsu didn't know what was going on with this guy. Anyway, in his thousands of years, he had never seen anything so outrageous.

Apart from lamenting that the Uchiha clan's education was 'getting worse with each generation', he probably only had one thought.

This is probably the most insane Uchiha he has ever seen. He actually has the idea of destroying his entire family?

And it's for the sake of Konoha Village?

Madara Uchiha wasn't that crazy. He only gave up on the clan because he was betrayed by his clansmen.

He didn't even do it himself!

Shaking his head, Black Zetsu was too lazy to think about this lunatic.

He couldn't empathize, and even felt a little disdainful, because he still had to save his mother.

“So what is your plan? If that Itachi Uchiha really comes to you.

You need to know that Konoha is not easy to deal with now. After all, there's Shuzawa Shigen, and you yourself might get caught if you're not careful.”

If there was no Shuzawa Shigen, Black Zetsu felt that sending the Uchiha on their way wouldn't be difficult.

But with this person, it might be a little difficult for the two of them to do anything.

Unless Konoha gives the green light, and the powerful people of the Uchiha clan simply wait for death, otherwise this matter is still relatively difficult.

After all, how could Konoha hope that the Uchiha's power would disappear? How could those powerful people of the Uchiha wait for death?

“Contact the Akatsuki organization, Shuzawa Shigen is indeed not easy to deal with.”

Obito thought for a moment and had his own ideas.

“I don't know what's going on with Konoha, but if Itachi Uchiha wants to do it, we'll help him to the end.

After slaughtering the Uchiha clan, I'm afraid his heart will be uneasy. Later, I can slowly guide him and make him sincerely agree with our plan.

After all, it's hard to believe that a person with blood on his hands can always be supported by his beliefs. Can chanting Konoha Village make him feel at ease?

No, he will only live in sin, and his heart will always crave escape, and creating a new world can give him comfort.

At that time, I'm afraid he will become a more qualified tool.”

“Let's give it a try.”

Black Zetsu thought for a while and nodded. As for whether Itachi Uchiha would become a qualified tool, he didn't really agree.

And he felt that even if Konoha gave the green light, the Uchiha would not sit still and be captured.

But no matter what, all of this needs to be carefully looked at, and everything needs to be planned first.

“Nagato, what new plan does that guy have?”

Rain was falling from the sky, and inside a high tower in the Land of Rain, Konan found Nagato, who was closing his eyes to rest, with a scroll in her hand.

Since returning from the Land of Water, they have been very low-key.

After all, the actions in the Land of Water still had a great impact on them, especially the contact with Shuzawa, which made them think deeply.

They needed to think about too many things, and they really needed to consider other issues.

Especially, the cooperation with Shuzawa.

Unconsciously, they had been forced to change their thinking, from wanting to recruit Shuzawa at the beginning to thinking about how to cooperate with this guy.

After all, Shuzawa was too strong, and at the same time, his vision seemed to be much broader than theirs.

“Who is that liar going to cause trouble for again?”

Nagato opened his eyes, and his Rinnegan seemed to have an invisible pressure.

Although he didn't directly reveal Obito's identity, he had already started using 'liar' to describe Obito behind his back.

“Konoha.”

Konan was concise, and even a hint of disdain appeared on her face.

“This guy doesn't seem to have given up yet. Who knows what he wants to do, but I think this might be a good opportunity.”

“Opportunity?”

Nagato glanced at Konan and immediately understood what his close friend meant.

“Shuzawa Shigen, is indeed an opportunity, but there is one thing I have never understood, what is his purpose?

He let us go, but the relentless pursuit of the Akatsuki organization has not stopped, and that Obito Uchiha is now wanted by the four major ninja villages.

"Without understanding his purpose, I'm really worried we'll be used as pawns. This guy is too inscrutable, always making me feel uneasy."

If Nagato were alone, perhaps he could ignore all that and just go for it.

But with Konan around, things can't be so casual. He needs to ensure more things are in place.

He never wants the past to repeat itself, and even more so, he doesn't want Konan to be hurt again!

"If you want to know these things, I think the simplest way is to ask him directly."

Konan was unusually calm, her expression turning serious as she looked at Nagato.

"Perhaps I can do something about this."

"You?"

Nagato was puzzled, while Konan looked out the window, smiling after a long moment.

"I plan to represent the Rain Country on a visit to Konoha. After all, the relationship between Konoha and the Rain Country has been tense for a long time.

Jiraiya-sensei is in the Whirlpool Country, so there shouldn't be any trouble if I go myself.

Maybe I can ease some minor problems. Besides that, I can also meet with Shuzawa Shihara alone.

Some things are better asked face-to-face, and some things are more sincere when conveyed face-to-face."

Here, Konan paused, turning to look at Nagato, whose expression seemed a bit unpleasant. She gently shook her head.

"Don't think about refusing me, Nagato. I've already decided on this."

"I'm not a child, and I don't want to live under your protection my whole life."

"We're friends, comrades, and I want to work hard for each other's dreams."

"What do you say, Nagato?"

"Ah, how boring."

Inside the Senju clan's ancestral home in Konoha, Shuzawa stretched lazily.

He was currently contemplating a question: Was he slacking off a bit too much?

After returning to Konoha, Shuzawa didn't go back to work. It wasn't that he was unwilling, but the Third Hokage, under the guise of 'needing more rest,' allowed him to continue his vacation.

This was well-intentioned, as Hiruzen Sarutobi had a private conversation with him, subtly mentioning the matter of Shisui.

Even though he spoke vaguely, Shuzawa understood the meaning, so Shuzawa simply continued his vacation.

However, while he was on vacation, Yugao didn't have a break. She still went to work as usual, and Tsunade, because of Shuzawa's words, began to investigate more information.

At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi had been angered to the point of being 'critically ill' twice, so she needed to spend more energy on that.

Today, she had gone to the Hokage's office to find more information, with Shizune naturally following along.

Even the little invisible Karin at home had already gone to class, leaving Shuzawa with no choice but to stay at home alone.

"It doesn't seem like I'm completely alone."

Turning his head, Shuzawa saw Uchiha Hikari, her face as cold as ice, walking out.

The Senju clan's ancestral home was large, with many rooms and various training grounds inside.

Living here allowed for free movement, as long as one didn't go outside. Uchiha Hikari clearly had no intention of going out.

"How is it? Are you getting used to living here?"

Shuzawa sat up, still lazy, but perking up a bit.

"There's nothing I'm not used to. At least it's better than a cage."

Uchiha Hikari's tone was cold, and her face showed no emotion.

"But the situation is still about the same. It's just that the seal has changed from a cage to my body."

" . . . "

Shuzawa tilted his head, feeling a bit helpless.

"Sorry, Hikari. If I don't take some precautions, who knows if you'll go crazy.

After all, the Uchiha's mental state has always been problematic. Haven't you experienced it firsthand?"

" . . . "

Uchiha Hikari glanced at Shuzawa, not even bothering to acknowledge him.

She didn't even seem to have directly agreed to that name, right?

Although she had indeed accepted the name in her heart.

"Speaking of which, Hikari, what was your era like? Can you tell me about it?"

Shuzawa didn't mind, asking with a smile, but unfortunately, Uchiha Hikari didn't seem to want to answer.

"That's a painful memory. Do you enjoy picking at people's scars? If I kept asking you about your painful experiences, what would you do?"

"Probably, I wouldn't feel anything. After all, I'm used to it."

Shuzawa pursed his lips, casually saying something that stunned Uchiha Hikari.

As an AC Milan fan, whenever 'comeback' or 'celebrating the title in the first half' is mentioned, he always gets ridiculed.

He just doesn't understand why everyone keeps talking about 'three-goal comeback' and 'first-half champagne,' as if that 'Night in Istanbul' is destined to never pass.

"Forget it, I won't force you if you don't want to talk about it, but I hope you understand that times have changed, and many things are different now.

I know you've suffered hardships, and I'm very sorry for that, but you can also be happy, after all, those guys have all been outlived by you."

" . . . "

Is this the result I wanted?

Uchiha Hikari glared at Shuzawa. She would rather kill all those guys, even turning the entire ninja world upside down!

After all, this world is also the source of her tragedy.

"Do you think that this world is also the source of tragedy?"

However, just as that thought crossed her mind, Shuzawa suddenly spoke.

Do you also have the ability to read minds?

Uchiha Hikari looked at Shuzawa strangely, she clearly hadn't said anything.
