Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 287

In my line of sight, there was a composed young man wearing a light green jacket, a hooded top, and sunglasses, surrounded by a number of black insects.

"Does it harbor harmful insects?"

After a moment's thought, Shirahoshi replied, "It's me. Shirahoshi from the future."

After saying that, Shirahoshi took the initiative to ask, "How is Lord Godai doing lately? The Sage Seal I gave him should have been quite useful, right?"

Once the key points were discussed, the trio exchanged glances and finally lowered their guard.

"Senior Shirahoshi, it was we juniors who were impolite," Hinata Hyuga said.

"It's nothing." Bai Xing waved her hand and asked the three directly, "But what has happened recently? Also, more than a year has passed where I am, what about where you are..."

"How much time has passed?"

This is the intelligence that Shirahoshi wants to collect.

—The proportion of time flow.

"More than a year?" Kiba Inuzuka was slightly taken aback, then immediately understood the difference in the world's flow rate and hurriedly said, "More than two years have passed since Shirahoshi-senpai appeared here!"

"And now something even bigger has happened!"

Bai Xing frowned slightly upon hearing that it had been more than two years, but the difference wasn't too significant. However, upon hearing about the major event Ya mentioned, she couldn't help but do some calculations...

If Ya says that, isn't now the time of World War IV?

But judging from the situation of the three, it doesn't seem like it's the fourth war.

"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time."

After thinking it over, Shirahoshi cautiously activated her chakra eyes, observed the three of them, and only after confirming that everything was correct did she lead Karura forward:

"Let's go, let's talk as we walk."

"Yeah!" x3

On the way, Kiba Inuzuka and Hinata Hyuga, two members of the trio, were on guard, while Shino Aburame was responsible for explaining.

"Senior, in the past two years..."

Aburame Shino honestly recounted some of the things that had happened in the past two years.

After hearing the gist of it, Shirahoshi had a general understanding of what was happening in the world.

It turns out that, a year after he left, Nagato still needed to collect the nine tailed beasts and complete the Ten-Tails weapon in order to give the Land of Rain an important position.

But just as preparations were about to begin, Nagato was assassinated.

When Konan, the deputy leader of Amegakure, discovered this, she suspected that it was an assassin secretly sent by various villages.

But that's not how it turned out.

"I see. When Konan arrived at Konoha, she mentioned that the person she was dealing with was a strange-looking individual with non-human antennae, is that right?"

Bai Xing's expression gradually turned serious. He hadn't expected that just by intervening briefly, so many things would happen in this world even without the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Shino Aburame stepped onto a tree trunk, leaped forward, and nodded, saying, "That's right! The other person has snow-white skin and is a young man who looks like he's dressed as a monk."

"I see." Bai Xing now understood. "It seems to be fate."

“Even without me, someone else would start a war.”

"It's a bit surprising that the Shell organization of this world has appeared so early."

After thinking for a while, Shirahoshi asked more questions, and Shino Aburame truthfully explained the current situation of each village.

By the time he had heard enough, Shirahoshi had a basic understanding of what had happened over the past two years.

After Nagato's death, Konan arrived in Konoha Village alone to provide information.

Qian Xiao has been missing for six months.

Moreover, numerous cases of scientists disappearing have emerged in various countries.

But soon, a year later, which is now more than a year ago, many members of the former Akatsuki organization appeared in various villages.

But the appearances of these Akatsuki members have all become strange, unlike their original selves—this is something Konan witnessed firsthand.

Then war broke out in various countries, and Akatsuki members invaded the major countries, successively taking away the seven tailed beasts over the course of nearly a year.

The Eight-Tails has lost one of its tails, and now the Land of Rain is practically deserted...

In short, the ninja world is currently in turmoil, and the Five Kage Summit just recently concluded.

—Preparing to carry out a plan to destroy the Rain Country.

"The Land of Rain."

"What a series of disasters!"

Shirahoshi could only silently mourn in her heart.

If Otsutsuki Isshiki has already completed such a secret weapon, then even if the five great nations or even the entire ninja world were to unite, it would only result in the deaths of more ninjas.

Chapter 176 Shell Organization

Luck sometimes determines a person's future destiny.

Isshiki Otsutsuki considered himself very lucky. In the struggles of the Otsutsuki clan, he became a member of the main family, while Kaguya, who came to Earth with him, was his servant.

But no one could have predicted it.

Kaguya, who was his servant, dared to ambush him!

Fortunately, he had a backup plan and managed to escape.

until now.

After a thousand years, the task of collecting the energy of the divine tree can finally be completed.

The Land of Rain is a country where it rains all year round.

Compared to the past, it seems to have become like Boruto, with no one living there anymore.

The reason for this was that, in order to complete his plan, Otsutsuki Isshiki forcibly recruited various scientists, and also secretly kidnapped Amegakure ninjas for human experimentation...

Of course, Otsutsuki Isshiki foresaw that this behavior would be discovered.

He didn't care about these ant-like ninjas, or even ordinary people.

His purpose was solely for his plan—to fuse with the Ten-Tails and bring the Divine Tree back to life.

However, the Nine-Tails is still missing from the collection.

Inside a blue, technologically advanced alternate dimension.

Do you know where the Nine-Tails is currently being hidden by the Konoha ninja?

The voice came from a young man who looked like a monk, sitting in a floating chair.

The people below stood in rows, draped in black coats, making it difficult to see their faces.

But there are nine people in total.

The nine people have different body types and heights.

After hearing Isshiki Otsutsuki's words, a magnetic voice came from one of them: "Well, I should have expected it. They must have gone to the place in Kumogakure where they specially trained Jinchuriki in order to master the power of the Nine-Tails."

"However, that place can move, so perhaps we could directly start a war and force the other side to hand over the real Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails."

Otsutsuki Isshiki glanced at the person who spoke, feeling somewhat displeased by the power emanating from him: "According to Black Zetsu's memories, that powerful figure named Shirahoshi might return one day."

Our plan must be expedited.

"Currently, I have 10,000 specially manufactured White Zetsu soldiers at my disposal."

"Use whatever means you have!"

The man in black robes nodded: "Don't worry. I will. But please don't forget our agreement."

“Of course,” Isshiki Otsutsuki said. “As long as I can obtain the power of the Ten-Tails, I will give you what you want…”

As he spoke, Otsutsuki Isshiki observed the man radiating natural energy before him.

What a gloomy human being. To actually think of making a deal with God... I'm afraid you can't afford what I offer.

......

the other side.

After two days and one night of high-speed travel, we finally returned to the future Konoha Village from the Loulan ruins.

The trio from Team 8 greeted the veteran gatekeepers at the village entrance, Kotetsu and Izumo, before hurrying off to the Hokage Building.

Arrive at the Hokage Building and go up to the third floor.

After pushing open the door, Shirahoshi saw Tsunade from two years in the future once again.

At this moment, Tsunade's eyes looked more worried and irritable than before.

Looking up, Tsunade was wondering who had barged in without knocking when she realized it was Team 8. Her expression softened slightly, and then she saw Shirahoshi and Karura. She immediately understood that Team 8 had finally met the people they were waiting for.

"Shirahoshi! You've finally arrived!"

Tsunade quickly got up and went to Shirahoshi's side. She looked Shirahoshi up and down for a while and noticed that Shirahoshi's hair had turned into a black and white gradient. She couldn't help but tease her and said with a smile, "It's been two years, and you've even changed your hair color!"

"Speaking of which, didn't my younger brother come?"

Tsunade looked left and right, but only saw Karura next to Shirahoshi, and a look of disappointment and worry appeared on her face.

Shirahoshi grabbed Tsunade's outstretched hand and said:

“I didn’t call him.”

"I originally came here to take care of some business, but I didn't expect so many changes in just two short years. It gives me a feeling that things have changed..."

"what a pity."

Shirahoshi refers to Nagato, who, despite changing his fate, still died.

Just then, Kaguya Otsutsuki's voice suddenly rang out: "Ask Black Zetsu for me."

Bai Xing replied, "Understood."

“You’re right. These past two years…” Tsunade’s expression was full of regret and sigh as she recounted the various events that had occurred over the past two years.
