Beyond the Land of Fire.
Naruto's main body trembled slightly as he received the memories from the shadow clone.
"You killed her?"
Noticing Naruto's unusual behavior, Black Zetsu asked.
Even he hadn't expected this kid to be so ruthless.
He felt like he hadn't taught him anything, yet the kid was acting so ruthlessly.
He had even specifically instructed him to spare Hiruzen Sarutobi's life to prevent Konoha from becoming too powerful.
Otherwise, Naruto Uzumaki, who had become the perfect Jinchūriki, would definitely have unleashed a true Bijūdama in Konoha.
He had become so inhuman; it must have been because of Danzo's four years of teaching. It had nothing to do with him.
"Ah, I cannot be bound by shackles before I can bring peace to the world."
"This is the fastest way to forget her, and it is also the pain that 'God' must go through."
"I was prepared for this!"
Naruto Uzumaki carried the Uchiha clan's stone tablet and spoke as he walked.
"Naruto, you truly are my reincarnation. With your abilities, you will definitely be able to complete the Eye of the Moon Plan!"
Seeing that Naruto Uzumaki had been fully trained, Black Zetsu praised him with great satisfaction.
"He should be here soon, right?"
Naruto Uzumaki looked into the distance, as if he were waiting for someone.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a figure in the distance, staggering towards him.
This person was none other than Kabuto Yakushi, who had already tasted the bitterness of Zabuza's madness.
Through Black Zetsu, Naruto Uzumaki now had a complete understanding of what had happened in the Land of Wind.
Therefore, he waited here specifically to bring Kabuto Yakushi another potent dose of medicine.
"Almost there, we'll be in the Land of Rice Fields soon!"
Because he was afraid that Zabuza would catch up, Kabuto Yakushi did not dare to stop for a moment along the way.
Just as he was about to step into the Land of Rice Fields, a dark shadow suddenly fell from the sky.
Boom!
Immediately following was a deafening roar.
A huge stone tablet fell from the sky and landed not far in front of him.
How unlucky I am! I'm already at my doorstep, and yet someone still wants to harm me.
As Kabuto Yakushi thought this, Naruto Uzumaki's figure appeared on the stone tablet at that moment.
"Kabuto Yakushi, Orochimaru's right-hand man, an outstanding spy and scientist," Naruto Uzumaki said with a smile as he looked at Kabuto Yakushi.
"You are... Naruto Uzumaki?"
Kabuto had spent a long time in Konoha and had met Naruto Uzumaki.
However, Naruto was no longer the strange-looking kid he once was, which made Kabuto Yakushi hesitate to recognize him for a moment.
"It's me." Naruto Uzumaki nodded with a smile. "Kabuto, how about considering leaving Orochimaru and joining my Void organization?"
"This corrupt and dark world is not suitable for you. Let's build a brand new world together!"
Kabuto Yakushi: "..."
It was over!
Another lunatic!
He really wanted to ask Naruto Uzumaki, "You lunatics, why do you think I have something in common with you?"
Did he, Kabuto Yakushi, also look like a lunatic?
They talked about a corrupt and dark world, and they talked about creating a new world.
Who did he think he was? The legendary Sage of Six Paths?
"Can I refuse?" Kabuto asked after a long silence.
"Of course. Right now, you didn't understand pain, and you couldn't see the truth of the world."
"You were just a foolish mortal, unable to think like a god. When you were transformed from infinite suffering into a god, you would definitely come to me on your own initiative."
"Now, let me show you a little of the truth about this world!"
As Naruto spoke, he walked up to Kabuto and gently placed his hand on Kabuto's shoulder.
At the same time, Black Zetsu possessed half of Kabuto Yakushi's face through the contact between the two.
With Black Zetsu's help, Kabuto saw lines of text appear on the stone tablet in front of him, which had previously been empty.
What he found even more unbelievable was that the stone tablet had been left by the Sage of Six Paths, and it recorded the method to save the world and bring lasting peace to the world through the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Although it seemed absurd at first glance, and even nonsensical.
However, this was a stone tablet left behind by the Sage of Six Paths, which made it impossible not to believe it.
Just as Kabuto was completely absorbed in watching, Naruto Uzumaki withdrew Black Zetsu's power.
"Let me see it again, let me see it again!"
Kabuto looked like he hadn't had enough; he was really captivated by what was written there.
"Don't rush. I can give you the stone tablet. You can judge for yourself whether it is genuine or not."
"You can also try to interpret the above content on your own. I believe that in the near future, you will become a part of us."
After leaving behind a single sentence, Naruto Uzumaki turned and left, while the stone tablet was left to Kabuto Yakushi.
He had traveled a long way carrying the monument to convince Kabuto of the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Now, he had seen part of the truth and no longer thought he was crazy.
If the darkness hidden in his heart was brought out again, the Void organization would grow stronger once more.
"Aren't they mentally ill?"
As Kabuto watched Naruto's retreating figure, his resolve wavered.
However, Orochimaru's influence was still far ahead at this time.
Those who had not transformed into gods would not commit acts of betrayal.
...
The Land of Wind, Sunagakure.
"Lord Kazekage, the Daimyo just sent a notice that the Chunin Exams will be held in Sunagakure."
"But the Daimyo has not prepared a budget for this, and our Sunagakure village does not have the funds to support this Chunin Exam."
"How about you do the work of panning for some gold dust to tide you over for now?"
Inside the Kazekage's office, Maki reported the news that the Daimyo had just sent to Orochimaru, who was disguised as the Fourth Kazekage.
Orochimaru: "..."
That was a good suggestion; please don't make that suggestion again next time.
He was Orochimaru, not Rasa!
If he knew how to pan for gold, he would plate his Kusanagi sword with gold.
"Send letters to each ninja village participating in the Chunin Exams. The expenses are borne by the villagers themselves, including accommodation and meals."
"In addition, we will charge them entry fees, site usage fees, ninja tool supply fees, and personal safety protection fees..."
Orochimaru paused for a moment, then listed a series of expenses. In short, if anyone wanted to come to Sunagakure to participate in the Chunin Exams, they not only had to pay for their own living expenses.
They also had to pay a series of additional fees; if they couldn't pay them, then they didn't need to take the exam.
"Lord Kazekage, isn't this a bit inappropriate? In the past, when we took exams in Konoha, they covered these expenses."
"If we act this way, it will easily give people something to criticize us, and people will think we're desperate for money."
When Baki heard Orochimaru rattle off the list of fees, he felt a chill run down his spine; it was practically a fee for breathing.
"Baki, I am the Kazekage!"
Orochimaru was already in a bad mood, and he didn't have time to waste here. "Execute the order!"
Immediately, he took out the phrase that Sarutobi-sensei had said to Danzo, a phrase that always worked.
