Chapter 271 Final Hidden Danger
Nothing can deny me.

The young Naruto stood alone on the balcony under the night sky. Usually lively and active, he was unusually quiet at this moment.

"Why, are you worried about something?"

Familiar yet unfamiliar words came from behind him, and the warm yellow light from outside shone into the slightly dark room.

A slim figure leaned against the door frame with her arms folded across her chest. The warm light made her bright blonde hair seem to be coated with a layer of golden glow.

Young Naruto looked back at the mother who was supposed to be his father.

The impression I had of my father was that he was a very tall and gentle man, but now that he had become my mother, this "father" seemed a little too cute.

Young Naruto still remembered that his 'father' had just faced the accusations of Tobirama Senju and hid behind his 'mother' like a child.

That absolutely confident and absolutely domineering 'mother'.

"No, there isn't."

Young Naruto subconsciously didn't want to make this person worry about him.

He has always been like this, never wanting to make others suffer because of him, but he seems to mess it up every time.

"That's it."

"A child who lies is not a good child."

Xun walked towards the young Naruto with a chuckle. Looking at his golden hair and eyes that were exactly the same as hers, a hint of heartache flashed in Xun's eyes.

In Naruko's world, Naruko's life is not really good.

In her only contact with Naruto, Kaoru also learned that the other party's experience was probably exactly the same as Naruko's.

But when Kaoru first came into contact with Naruko, he was only twelve years old.

But now Xun is already twenty-eight years old (eighteen years old), and the things he faces and the existence he can understand are far beyond what his twelve-year-old self could understand.

"Sa, can you tell mom if you have anything on your mind?"

Kaoru and Naruto stood on the balcony together. Kaoru leaned against the balcony railing and looked at the young Naruto with her eyebrows curved into crescents.

Mother?

The young Naruto looked at the woman in front of him and couldn't help but fall into silence.

He was unable to connect the woman in front of him with the red-haired woman in his impression.

"Eh? Isn't that right?"

"If you can, call me dad. I don't mind."

Looking at the conflicted look on the face of the young Naruto, Xun pointed at himself and spoke with a smile on his face.

"I just didn't expect the world to be so strange."

The young Naruto imitated Kaoru and leaned on the railing.

"Why is it strange?"

“Isn’t this world a good place?”

“The whole world has become one country.”

"It ended the thousand-year war and saved all children from having to go to the battlefield."

"Although the process was a bit tortuous, no one died...but it was peaceful in the end."

Xun paused, and thought of a white-haired man with a knife.

"That's really good, although..." The young Naruto thought of the red-haired man in the Administrative Council meeting room just now. He really couldn't call him 'father' or 'mother'.

"But maybe I'm still a little uncomfortable."

As the young Naruto spoke, he felt a hand touching his head.

The woman in front of him had a beautiful smile, and the aura around her made the young Naruto instinctively want to get closer to her.

"Could it be that Ruto is bothered by me and Jiu Xing?"

“This is really difficult to deal with.”

Xun seemed to be shaking his head helplessly.

Seeing the distressed look on the woman in front of him, the young Naruto couldn't help but subconsciously want to explain that he was not like that, but Kaoru's next sentence made the young Naruto stunned.

"Then how about asking Kushina and Minato to come over?"

"It just so happens that they are also in the imperial capital."

Seeing the woman in front of him mention the names of the two people that were firmly engraved in his heart, the young Naruto couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

"You...know them?"

"Of course, if you want to see them, you can do so now!"

“Anytime, anywhere, it’s fine!”

Xun smiled at the boy in front of him.

As Kaoru expected, the young Naruto hesitated, but finally nodded.

"Then shall we set off now?"

Xun put his hand on the young Naruto's shoulder, seemingly asking for his opinion, but did not give the young Naruto any chance to refute.

"Eh? Now?"

Before the young Naruto finished his words, he and Kaoru turned into a golden light and disappeared into the night.

Jiu Xing, who was in the study, was aware of everything that was happening next door and couldn't help but complain helplessly.

Now that they are mothers, they are more outgoing than before.

At this moment, Nao was comforting the two children to sleep. After all, everything that happened today was a little too magical for little Naruto and little Shiori.

Jiuxing needs to prepare for carving a sealing array on the human body tomorrow.

Although White Zetsu can be used as a substitute and there is room for trial and error, it would be better if one could succeed directly in one go.

As for the so-called 'Uchiha Madara', Jiu Xing was too busy to pay attention to him for the time being, so he could only let White Zetsu search for him slowly.

Jiu Xing naturally knew that 'Uchiha Madara' was Uchiha Obito, and Xun and Nao could probably guess the same.

It would be fine if Uchiha Obito could behave himself and wait for him to come to him, but if he was reckless and caused trouble, Jiu Xing wouldn't mind talking to him in person.

In Jiu Xing's eyes, the importance of Uchiha Obito is not as important as the technique that he is currently preparing to develop.

However, it would not be appropriate to just ignore this alien version of Uchiha Obito.

Jiu Xing leaned back in his chair, twirling the pencil in his hand.

Young people need to be given something to do, otherwise Jiu Xing would be a little unhappy to see them laughing all day long.

next day
At this moment, all the young generation of the empire are present at the Imperial Capital's Jonin Operations Center.

Kakashi Hatake, Mei Terumi, Mangetsu Hozuki, Anko Mitarashi, Kisame Hoshigaki, Rin Nohara, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, Darui, Akagi.

These people were supposed to be the elites from the five major ninja villages, but in this world they all belonged to the same country.

Except for Senju Homura who was absent due to the Rinnegan and Uchiha Obito who went to the Wind Protectorate to open up new land, almost all the younger generation were present.

"Where's Shisui?"

"Why didn't Shisui come?"

Xihi Kurenai glanced around and did not see the humble junior.

Jiu Xing stood at the front and looked at everyone, then tapped the blackboard and said:

"Be quiet, everyone."

"Now I'll give you a task."

After hearing Jiu Xing's words, everyone quickly quieted down.

After all, the person in front of him was someone who had fought against and defeated the aristocratic bad habits that had existed for thousands of years, and had single-handedly founded the empire.

Perhaps ordinary people believe that the first monarch, Uzumaki Kaoru, founded the empire.

But it will become clear as long as you understand it a little.

The man in front of me is the true uncrowned king of the empire.

"I think everyone knows what happened yesterday."

Jiu Xing's words stunned everyone.

The commotion last night was so loud that almost everyone in the city witnessed it all.

It’s just that the official report was an experimental explosion.

After Jiu Xing's narration, everyone finally understood everything.

"So, Brother Jiu Xing, where is the other enemy now?"

The person who is closest to Jiu Xing is undoubtedly Mitarashi Anko. Because of Mitarashi Shixiao, Anko can be said to have grown up under Jiu Xing's watch.

"Ahem, when I'm at work, I call them by their positions."

Jiu Xing glared at Hongdou in annoyance.

"Okay, then, Commander of the Tianmu Guard, where is the other enemy?"

Hongdou smiled and didn't care.

Her attitude couldn't help but make everyone except Mei Terumi and Kakashi a little envious.

"According to the current information, the other party is wearing a black robe with red clouds and an orange one-eyed whirlpool mask. He is a member of the Uchiha clan."

“I don’t know anything else.”

"I called you here so that you can catch this guy, and the Tianmu Guards and ninjas from all over the empire will cooperate with your actions."

Jiu Xing knocked on the table in front of him and spoke.

"So, Commander, do the enemies have any other information besides this?"

Man Yue Kizuna raised her hand and asked.

Jiu Xing was just about to talk to the other party about Shenwei's problem, but at this moment his phone rang.

This is his dedicated phone number for his position. Under normal circumstances, no one except official agencies would contact him through this phone.

Looking at the text message, Jiu Xing frowned slightly, then looked at the young people in front of him and said:
"The latest intelligence has arrived, based on the information that the Imperial Intelligence Department dug up overnight from the mind of the assassin who was captured last night."

"That Uchiha has already controlled Shisui."

"The other party is now controlling Uchiha Shisui's body with the so-called soul posture."

As soon as these words were spoken, whispers suddenly broke out from the audience.

Jiu Xing frowned and looked at the uneasy people in the audience.

Is it because the empire is too peaceful? These elites in the original work are now like fledgling ninjas.

Even Kakashi, the person Jiu Xing had the highest hopes for and was training as the successor to Tian Moku, could be seen to be feeling uneasy and solemn at a glance.

Among the people present, Mangetsu Hozuki and Kisame Hoshigaki were the calmest, which made Jiu Xing take a second look at them.

"Quiet!"

Looking at the crowd off the field, Jiu Xing scolded:

"Look at what you look like!"

"You're so upset just because an enemy controlled your companions."

"The most urgent task now is to capture Uchiha Shisui immediately."

"Instead of you guys just whining here!"

Jiu Xing looked at Kakashi and Terumi and said:

"Kakashi and Mei Terumi will lead the team this time."

"Captain Kakashi, Vice Captain Terumi Mei, you must capture Uchiha Shisui!
"Do not disappoint me!"

Looking at Jiu Xing who seemed a little angry, Kakashi said solemnly:

"Yes."

“We will never let you down!”

Looking at the serious Kakashi, Jiu Xing said coldly:

"Two people will be with you."

"Naruto, Sana, you can come out now."

As Jiu Xing spoke, a blond boy and a black-haired girl walked out from the side door.

The young Naruto looked at so many old acquaintances in front of him and wanted to say hello, but when he saw Jiu Xing who seemed a little angry, he couldn't help but shrink his neck.

—

Jiu Xing was now on his way to the experimental building, thinking about what had just happened.

I have protected these young people so well.

So much so that they have begun to slowly forget the sense of crisis.

I have forgotten what war is, what a battle of blood and fire is.

Peace is not always there, but is built on absolute strength and ruthlessness.

So how do we make these people possess this kind of cruelty?
The future generation has Thousand Hands Flame, who has the Rinnegan and Wood Release, so he is not lacking in power.

But Senju Homura and Mei Terumi and their gang have the same problem.

Some things sound good when said verbally, but when faced with a real choice, one becomes too soft-hearted.

Jiu Xing needs war.

Only war can truly temper their character.

But we can’t just open up a battlefield in the empire and let these people go there, right?
The empire was established for the sake of peace, and this approach is completely contrary to the original intention.

And many innocent people will also die.

Forget it...

Let’s discuss this with Tobirama later.

Jiu Xing sighed in his heart. Everything has two sides, just like what just happened.

This country was supposed to be established for peace, but because of the long-term peace, people's vigilance against crises has gradually disappeared.

But Jiu Xing didn't have time to care about these things at the moment.

We have arrived at the experimental building.

The Avalon Project, which had been prepared for half a month, took its first step.

—

The original Grass Kingdom was located at the border between the Fire Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom, but with the establishment of the empire, the Grass Kingdom was also incorporated into the Fire Protectorate.

Uchiha Shisui...

Uchiha Obito looked at the lake in front of him, and a look of fear appeared in his eyes.

He witnessed the entire battle of Uzumaki Nagato last night.

There was almost no resistance.

The moment Uzumaki Nagato failed, he decisively ran away.

Miscalculated...

This so-called illusion world is too powerful.

Not only are there various technological weapons that he cannot fully understand, but there are also various masters.

Golden glitter.

Uchiha Obito didn't expect that the golden flash in this world was actually a woman.

However, this woman's strength did not in the least diminish the impression he had of Minato Namikaze, and she even surpassed him completely.

Even Uzumaki Nagato could not gain any advantage from her.

Especially the man who showed up later, who was supposed to be Uzumaki Kushina's Uzumaki Kyuyuki.

It is unexpectedly powerful.

With just one move, he directly broke through the Shinra Tensei that Uzumaki Nagato was proud of.

If he doesn't do something and waits for this country to take action, he will be dead without a burial place.

He didn't believe that Uzumaki Nagato could keep his mouth shut.

No matter if the person is alive or dead, Konoha has a way to pry open the other person's mouth.

What’s more, this is the Glorious Empire that originated from Konoha.

However, at this moment, footsteps appeared behind Uchiha Obito.

"Uchiha Shisui, the S-rank wanted criminal just announced by the Empire."

"The reward is fifty million taels."

Hearing the familiar voice behind him, Uchiha Obito looked back.

A tall man in black and red combat uniform appeared not far from him, looking at him greedily with a pair of green eyes.

"Kakuzu?"

"Didn't expect you to become Konoha's lackey?"
