Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

“Forget it, I shouldn’t have asked.”

Seeing Yūgao fall into silence, Kakashi also instantly became somber, which made Tenzo beside him feel somewhat baffled.

“That’s not right, Shūzawa doesn’t seem to ever go too far, right? What’s wrong with you guys?”

Kakashi’s breath hitched when he heard this, and he looked at Tenzo in disbelief.

Forcefully attacking Kusagakure, kidnapping Kōtsuchi, burning down the Tsuchikage Building, overthrowing Kirigakure, capturing the Fourth Mizukage…

And the kidnapping of the Fourth Raikage that he didn’t even participate in.

Each and every one of these were things that only the most elite terrorists in the ninja world could pull off. And that’s not going too far?

Even the most extreme terrorists aren't as extreme as him!

Yūgao also lowered her head, recalling how, ever since she ‘indulged’ him, this guy had displayed ‘extremism’ and ‘excessiveness’ to the fullest.

And this isn't called extreme?

Boom—

Boom—

Boom—

In the midst of their thoughts, violent booming sounds instantly echoed throughout the entire forest, and the raging chakra swept over them, almost causing them to lose their footing.

Towering flames appeared in the distance, clearly indicating that a great battle seemed to have already begun!

“More explosions, but this time it’s different from before.”

Kakashi immediately returned to his combat stance, his eyes fixed on the front.

“It seems Shūzawa and the others have already engaged.”

“Let’s hurry too!”

Tenzo immediately became excited. He still really enjoyed fighting alongside Shūzawa.

“Let’s hurry too, Captain Kakashi.”

Yūgao’s gaze also remained fixed on the front. She trusted Shūzawa the most, but she was also the most worried about him.

“I understand, everyone.”

Kakashi nodded, then raised his right hand, and all the Anbu behind them looked over.

“Move forward at full speed!”

“Yes!”

“Damn it, they’ve already started fighting?”

On the other side of the forest, Yōkai felt the powerful chakra eruption, and she was also extremely anxious.

Although Shūzawa had clearly told her to ‘oppose the Mizukage and protect those who need protecting,’ she had no idea who was coming!

The most critical thing was that they were already fighting over there, but she was far away from the battlefield.

Moreover, Shūzawa’s words had another half that, even if he didn’t say it, she knew what it was.

“Those who aren’t needed will be eliminated by Shūzawa.”

Having experienced the Land of Water incident, and having stayed in Konoha for so long, witnessing the Uchiha clan grounds being destroyed like that, it was impossible for her not to worry.

Besides, she was somewhat aware that everything happening right now was most likely orchestrated by Shūzawa himself!

“This guy is much more excessive than Danzō, but he is indeed much better.”

Muttering to herself, she couldn’t help but quicken her pace, but just then, she suddenly stopped, because another group of people appeared on the other side of the forest!

“Sunagakure… Yōkai?”

“Amegakure?”

Yōkai looked at the headbands of these people and spoke subconsciously, and the leader of these Amegakure ninja, a woman with bluish-purple hair, also recognized Yōkai’s identity at first glance.

In an instant, they all prepared for battle, clearly unsure whether the other party was an enemy!

Boom—

Boom—

Boom—

However, at this moment, another series of booming sounds rang out, causing Yōkai to clench her teeth. She looked at these Amegakure ninja and said solemnly.

“I don’t want to waste time here. I know the current relationship between Konoha and Amegakure. I know Zizhihara Shūzawa, and I can guarantee that we are not enemies!”

“You know him?”

Konan tilted her head. Naturally, she recognized Yōkai, having already seen her during the Kirigakure operation.

However, she wouldn’t admit it now, especially since she wasn’t sure about Yōkai’s situation.

After thinking for a moment, especially with the chakra eruption on the other side growing stronger and stronger, she finally spoke in a low voice.

“Then I’ll give you a choice. Follow us, so we can make sure you don’t cause trouble. Otherwise, we can only start a war here.”

“No problem.”

Yōkai didn’t hesitate. Now was not the time to dwell on this.

Especially with the booming chakra from the rear growing more and more piercing, she knew her time was running out!

Just looking at Konan’s smile that wasn’t quite a smile, she pondered for a moment and suddenly laughed.

“Speaking of which, we Sunagakure are Konoha’s allies. Right now, you seem to be more like allies than we are.”

“Who knows?”

Konan didn’t answer this question. After all, the situation was different for her.

They were Shūzawa’s allies, but not really Konoha’s allies.

“What a rare sight.”

On a distant hilltop, Uchiha Obito, accompanied by Pain, Uchiha Itachi, and Kakuzu, was watching the situation ahead.

Although there weren’t many regular troops participating in the battle, with almost all of them being Anbu, and with Kage and elders involved, it could be seen as a scaled-down ninja world war!

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Obito snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

“This world is truly rotten to the core. They can go to such lengths for a Shimura Danzō. If the benefits were greater, there’s no telling what they could do.

In any case, we need to work harder to create a peaceful world. The road ahead is long and arduous.”

Saying this, Obito paused, then looked meaningfully at Nagato.

“But why is Konan there, representing Amegakure?”

“Are you an idiot? Konoha and Amegakure have connections, which allows them to gather information better and obtain some benefits. That’s something you can’t do.”

Pain, controlled by Nagato, glanced at Obito and then shook his head slightly.

Moreover, he clearly wasn’t in the mood to listen to his nonsense. In Nagato’s mind, Uchiha Obito had long become synonymous with a liar.

His goal this time was only Danzō, and to see what Shūzawa’s ‘sincerity’ was. He didn’t bother to care about anything else.

“Just say what you want to do. Don’t play coy here. I’m not interested in listening.”

“That’s right. The situation this time is too special. I’d rather you get a good price and don’t disappoint me.”

Kakuzu smiled indifferently. After all, he had a ‘good boss’.

As for Uchiha Itachi, he didn’t pay any attention to Uchiha Obito. His goal this time was only Danzō.

To prevent Konoha’s secrets from being exposed, he had to kill Danzō!

Seeing that everyone seemed to be ignoring him, Obito’s face under the mask turned somewhat dark.

Especially Nagato’s ‘idiot’ comment, which made him feel disrespected.

However, he knew that now was not the time to dwell on these issues. Taking a deep breath, he slowly opened his mouth.

“Itachi, you and I will go capture Danzō. Kakuzu, you clear out those Root members. Pain…”

“Zizhihara Shūzawa is not easy to deal with. The only one who can counter his Sage Body is your Sage Eyes!”

“I think the Sage Eyes shouldn’t be worse than the Sage Body, right?”

“Zizhihara Shūzawa, you’re courting death!”

Hearing Shūzawa’s words, Ōnoki, Kōtsuchi, and the Fourth Raikage collectively lost their composure!

Although there was absolutely nothing wrong with saying that, how could they, as Kage, endure such humiliation?

“These youngsters nowadays really don’t respect the elderly at all.”

Chiyo looked at everyone’s unsightly expressions and smiled after pondering for a moment.

“Perfect. I want to see what the abilities of Konoha’s rookies are like. After all, as allies, this might be a good test!”

That being said, with a wave of her hand, all the puppets behind her moved!

Using testing as a pretext to start the battle, Chiyo clearly had her own plans.

Buzz—

In an instant, countless senbon, kunai, and shuriken rapidly shot out from these densely packed puppets, frantically bombarding Shūzawa and the others.

This instantly ignited the battlefield, and Ōnoki didn’t hold back in the slightest.

“Kid, this time I’ll let you witness my true power!”

Performing hand seals, vast chakra transformed into a white light that condensed in his hands!

The previous battle was within Iwagakure, and he didn’t dare to use Dust Release at all, but the situation was different now, and he didn’t need to care about so much.

The booming chakra exuded a scorching aura, and in an instant, it swept heavily towards Shūzawa like a laser cannon!

“Heh.”

Shūzawa chuckled, and the Root ninjas like Hikari and Shisui scattered rapidly at this moment, but he chose to stand his ground.

Looking at the dense attacks, golden chakra suddenly appeared on his body, and the earth shook violently at this moment!

Boom—

Countless vines burst out of the ground, forming a giant barrier that completely blocked Shūzawa’s path.

All those densely packed ninja tools landed on it, but the destructiveness of the Dust Release was still very strong, and even the Wood Release was immediately carved out with a gap!

“Oh, a little interesting.”

Shūzawa raised an eyebrow, then jumped up, avoiding the light of the Dust Release coming towards him, but at this moment, a black shadow had already arrived behind him!

“Lightning Release: Liger Bomb!”

The Fourth Raikage gathered Lightning Release chakra all over his body, and his fist slammed heavily towards Shūzawa!

“Take this, you idiot, you bastard!”

On the other side, the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki, Killer B, was still chanting, but he was also cooperating with his older brother to attack.

In an instant, Shūzawa seemed to be completely surrounded by these two brothers, and the power on their bodies was spreading wildly!

“Since you want to play, then I’ll play with you properly.”

Shūzawa raised an eyebrow when he saw this, and he didn’t run away, but instead raised one hand again.

“Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!”

The Wood Release from the ground instantly grew wildly, converging frantically, and before long, a giant had already lifted Shūzawa’s body up, and a giant as big as a small mountain had already appeared on the ground!

The giant let out a roar, and his fist suddenly swept out horizontally, heading heavily towards the Fourth Raikage brothers with an indomitable momentum.

“Crap!”

Facing the Wood Human, the Fourth Raikage brothers’ expressions changed at the same time. They both knew that if they were hit by this, they would really be in trouble!

“B!”

“I’m coming!”

Killer B shouted in his heart, and the Eight-Tails immediately responded.

The red chakra belonging to the Tailed Beast on his body began to gather frantically, and in an instant, he had already completed his Tailed Beast Transformation.
