Inside The Hidden Rain Village.
The vines on Konan's body gradually withered.
The next moment, she slowly opened her eyes, looked up at the sky of The Hidden Rain Village, and lowered her head slightly, saying: "Was it all just a dream after all?"
"Angel, are you awake?"
C's figure quickly jumped down, crouched beside Konan, and helped her up: "Though I don't know exactly what happened in the Ninja World, it seems everything is resolved now!"
"Hmm…"
Konan slowly nodded her head and said softly: "I wonder how the situation on the battlefield is now, Uehara… he should be okay, right?"
Konan was really too worried about her disciple.
Uehara Naraku was much better off than Konan imagined, though when he felt good, others' moods definitely weren't as great.
After the Infinite Tsukuyomi was lifted.
Everyone in the Ninja Alliance gradually woke up.
Due to the Divine Tree extracting their chakra, they still felt weak and exhausted, and some of the ninjas needed to help and support each other.
At this moment, a voice fell into their ears.
"Hello there!"
Uehara Naraku stood high above, looking down at the Ninja Alliance, and spoke with a light smile: "Allow me to introduce myself, I am the Sin of Hidden Rain, the leader of Akatsuki, Ninja Alliance Commander-in-Chief, initiator, and manipulator of the Fourth Ninja World War…"
"..."
Every ninja's fist clenched involuntarily.
Just as someone wanted to speak up and question him, Uehara Naraku continued: "If you want to criticize or interrogate me, please allow me to warn you first!"
At this point, Uehara Naraku's voice gradually became somewhat cheerful: "The legendary Six Paths Sage, Ninja God Senju Hashirama, Ninja World Asura Uchiha Madara, are all defeated by me!
So I'll kindly remind you here, those enemies weaker than the Six Paths Level don't even have the qualifications to stand before me and speak; of course, even if you possess the power of the Six Paths Sage, before me, it's no different from being a Genin.
Maybe you don't understand what concept Six Paths Level is, let me explain it simply, it means easily killing everyone present! Naruto, Sasuke, which of you wants to show everyone?"
"..."
Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but twitch their faces, and all the ninjas couldn't help but look at them.
Uzumaki Naruto frowned, looking at a few familiar people below, and spoke somewhat bitterly: "Granny Tsunade, Ero Sage, Teacher Kakashi, Uehara is not wrong… and this war is already over."
"So…"
Tsunade looked up at Uehara Naraku and spoke solemnly: "Uehara Naraku is the final victor of this war, then?"
"No, no, no, everyone is the winner."
Uehara Naraku waved his hand, speaking softly: "After all, I couldn't bear to kill so many people, so you received my benevolence to live on, and that's winning too… we are actually all comrades here!"
"..."
Damn it, so ridiculous!
Who dares to be comrades with you!
What good outcome can those ninjas who used to consider Uehara Naraku a comrade in this Ninja World possibly have?
"Uehara Naraku…"
Tsunade furrowed her brow, speaking solemnly: "Regardless of who the victor is… at least you have to tell us what exactly happened!"
"It's a long story…"
After raising his brows, Uehara Naraku glanced at all the ninjas who were looking up: "I might talk for a long time, if you keep looking up too long, your necks might start to ache…"
"…Is now the time to talk about neck pain!"
Tsunade spoke with a dark expression: "Even if we can't do anything now, at least tell us the truth!"
"Hmm… alright."
A stone chair appeared beneath Uehara Naraku, he slowly sat down, and looked at Otsutsuki Kaguya, who had been standing behind him, speaking softly: "The source of this war starts from a thousand years ago…
The ancestors of Ninja World's bloodline clans like Senju, Uchiha, Hyuga, Uzumaki, and the first person in Ninja World to possess chakra, the Goddess of Rabbit, Otsutsuki Kaguya had a tragic family experience, she gave birth to two children, but unfortunately, her children grew up, and to seize her power, they sealed her away…"
"Wait!"
Uzumaki Naruto immediately stopped Uehara Naraku loudly, with a faintly collapsing expression: "What you're saying is too ridiculous, it's completely different from the truth!"
"It really is… absurd."
Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but rub his forehead, his eyes twitching: "Hey, Uehara, do you always like to add material to the stories you tell everyone?"
"Shut up!"
Uehara Naraku furrowed his brow, looking at Uzumaki Naruto, and spoke sternly: "If your stories are never captivating and just keep talking about feelings and ideals, who would want to listen to them then!"
After speaking to Uzumaki Naruto, Uehara Naraku looked at Uchiha Sasuke: "Sasuke, your brother Itachi was very talented at storytelling…"
Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but slap his forehead and said, "Bastard... Can you not always bring up Itachi like we're old friends!"
Uehara Naraku remained silent for a moment, then waved his hand to conjure a gale, throwing two people away. Only then did he slowly turn his head and say, "Alright, now let's continue."
"..."
The Five Kage exchanged glances.
Some of the ninjas waiting to hear the story were also speechless; they hadn't even touched on the main point yet, just barely started, and he wants to trick them?
Uehara Naraku didn't mind and continued, "A thousand years ago, the legendary Chakra Ancestor Kaguya was sealed by her two children. One of them, after seizing his mother's power, founded the Ninja Sect and unified the Ninja World."
As he said this, Uehara Naraku's expression gradually became serious. Looking at the ninjas, who all carried a hint of shock on their faces, he said in a deep voice, "You're not wrong; that child is the legendary Six Paths Sage."
Uehara Naraku continued slowly, "Unfortunately, the Six Paths Sage did not anticipate that apart from him and his brother, his mother, the Goddess of Rabbit, left behind a child named Black Zetsu before being sealed. That's our intelligence captain."
"..."
Everyone present fell into silence once more.
To be honest, the defeat of the Ninja Alliance was not undeserved.
Alliance Commander-in-Chief Uehara Naraku was a mastermind, and the intelligence captain was a mastermind too. What could they fight with?
With their lives?
Uehara Naraku looked down at everyone's expressions, chuckled lightly, and continued, "Black Zetsu has always been striving to revive the Goddess of Rabbit Kaguya, that is, to release the Genjutsu of Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Similarly, it also secretly incited the Uchiha and the Senju Family for revenge on the Six Paths Sage's lineage, watching as these two bloodlines once related slaughtered each other while quietly selecting the suitable pawn to revive Kaguya.
This is the reason behind the battles between the Uchiha and Senju.
Later, after the brief reconciliation and parting ways of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu finally selected a pawn, Uchiha Madara, and began implementing the plan to revive Kaguya.
To realize this plan, Black Zetsu treated everyone in the Ninja World as pawns, only miscalculating my power, not realizing that the revived Chakra Ancestor was not my opponent, which is why you all still have the good fortune to stand here…"
"..."
Black Zetsu felt somewhat anxious in his heart.
Wasn't this Uehara Naraku too ruthless, cursing even his former self?
Even Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke were somewhat speechless hearing this; in Uehara Naraku's depiction, the Six Paths Sage became a despicable person…
Could it really be true?
Because Uehara Naraku is a reincarnation of a part of the Six Paths Sage's chakra!
Looking at what kind of character Uehara Naraku is, can we still expect the Six Paths Sage from a thousand years ago to be a good person?
After listening to Uehara Naraku's story, Tsunade couldn't help frowning, saying in a deep voice, "Uehara Naraku, what role did you play in all this? Before I fell under the Genjutsu, it seemed like you were also caught in Infinite Tsukuyomi!"
"Oh, I was pretending."
Uehara Naraku casually replied, "I saw everyone was caught in Infinite Tsukuyomi, and if I wasn't hit by that Genjutsu myself, it seemed I would appear a bit unsociable…"
"..."
How could there be such a thing as being afraid of appearing too unsociable?
Dammit, you felt unsociable then, but when you betrayed the entire Ninja Alliance, you didn't feel that way!
If everyone's gaze present were like knives, Uehara Naraku would have already been sliced into a skeleton...
Uehara Naraku ignored the knife-like gazes, calmly continuing, "So after pretending to be under Infinite Tsukuyomi, I discovered Black Zetsu's conspiracy and conveniently defeated the legendary Chakra Ancestor, saving you all…"
"..."
The expressions of the Ninja Alliance varied.
Frankly, they didn't know whether to believe it.
"Alright, if you want the details, ask Naruto and Sasuke! It's a pity that my highlight moment had only two spectators…"
After shaking his head and sighing, Uehara Naraku looked at everyone and continued softly, "One week later, I will be waiting in the Hidden Rain Village for the Five Kage to visit. At that time, you must come to discuss post-war matters with me…"
Finishing up, Uehara Naraku slowly clenched his fist, calmly adding, "Because if anyone doesn't show up, I might feel unhappy, and perhaps your village might turn into a star, or a star might fall on your village…"
The next moment, the distant earth quickly rose, forming a massive meteor!
Uehara Naraku pointed at the meteor and commanded it to fall into a lake, making the whole region shake violently, with a look of panic on everyone's face!
"Did you see? That kind of star!"
After finishing, Uehara Naraku's expression gradually became serious, and he turned to continue, "If by that time, due to someone not attending, such an unhappy event occurs, I hope every ninja here will remember…"
"..."
All the ninjas involuntarily perked up their ears.
Uehara Naraku looked at these tense ninjas, with a smile gradually appearing at the corner of his mouth, "When Heaven Concealed tears through the sky and lands on your village, you must remember to make a wish, wishing not to be a ninja in your next life…"
"..."
Countless ninjas cursed Uehara from head to toe in their hearts.
