Starting with rogue ninjas, building the insect kingdom.

Chapter 415 Naruto, I will help you get rid of all your troubles.

"I never imagined that even you, who had already turned to the dark side, would be influenced by the will of Ashura? My nephew's abilities are truly terrifying!"

Black Zetsu was offering compliments, but in reality, he knew that Obito Uchiha had already been eliminated from the competition once he started focusing on raising the child!

"They said they'd destroy the ninja world, that they were just raising Naruto as a tool, but in the end, they made Naruto bear the Uchiha surname. Is the Uchiha clan truly a benevolent family, or are they just hypocrites?"

"But it doesn't matter. Since you've become a piece of trash, don't blame me for making use of you."

After saying that, he disappeared underground with a sinister smile on his face.

Outside the Peach Blossom Paradise, there is a hidden barrier made of trees. A kind grandmother skilled in sealing techniques comes here every day to inspect and check for any defects.

Just as he was fiddling with the trees, he sensed a murderous intent. He turned around and found Gaara and Naruto standing behind him.

The killing intent wasn't directed at Naruto, but at Gaara. However, she didn't care and instead smiled broadly, saying, "Little Naruto, your father is forcing you to kill us again."

"No...no!" Naruto shook his head, but the kunai on his back couldn't lie.

"Is it that you can't bring yourself to do it? But Grandma doesn't have much time left. Come here, let me check how well you've learned your sealing technique."

Seeing the other person's kind smile, Naruto suppressed his nervousness and tucked the kunai back into his pants.

"Grandma, look, I've memorized the Four Symbols Sealing Book. But my chakra control is very poor, so I can't use it."

"It's okay, it's just the little guy inside you causing trouble. I believe in you, and one day you'll make peace with him."

"Is it the Nine-Tails?" Naruto looked down at his stomach. His father always told him to raise him into a monster, but he didn't think that intelligent beings were monsters.

"Alright, it seems you've learned well. All my skills have been passed down. Naruto, today Grandma will teach you the final move!"

Upon hearing about learning a new ninjutsu, Naruto instantly became excited, but before he could even celebrate, the kunai he had been hiding behind his back had already ended up in his grandmother's hands.

She murmured, "Actually, I don't understand why you have to be called Uchiha. It would be more reasonable for you to have the same surname as me."

"Grandma, what are you saying?"

"It's nothing, come here, watch me!" The white-haired grandmother grabbed Naruto's hand and inserted the kunai into his heart.

Feeling the warm blood on his hand, Naruto froze on the spot, his eyes wide and his body trembling.

"grandmother!"

"Naruto, this is the last lesson your grandma will teach you about killing. I didn't have much time left anyway, so don't be sad. Your mission is complete, you can go back now."

"I have committed heinous crimes in this life. I even killed my own family members to save my own life, so there is no need to be sad for me. This is just my way of atoning for my sins."

After saying that, she closed her eyes completely.

"Grandma!" Naruto collapsed to the ground, touching his body, tears streaming down his face. He didn't understand why his father forced him to kill someone, nor did he understand why his grandmother had to die.

Because these are all ninjas, deformed and twisted!

The little Gaara walked up to Naruto and carefully raised his hand to touch his head.

At that moment, he saw no corpses lying on the ground, only Naruto.

Even if Naruto didn't do it today, he would still kill the old woman, because he didn't want Naruto to go hungry, and he didn't want him to be punished.

All I want is for Naruto to be happy. I don't care if I kill everyone in the village. Didn't that guy say that anyway?

The people here are all bad; their hands are stained with the blood and lives of innocent people. They don't deserve any sympathy.

Moreover, he himself has no compassion whatsoever.

Feeling the warmth above his head, Naruto instinctively leaned closer and buried his head in Gaara's arms.

"It's alright, you still have me. If you don't want to kill them in the future, I'll kill them all for you." Gaara gently stroked Naruto's head, as if he were a precious treasure.

"Everything will pass!"

Not far away, Obito Uchiha quietly observed all of this. Has he already come to accept death? It seems he has made quite a bit of progress.

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a sense of relief.

In the outside world, six months after the Land of Waterfall officially became one of the Five Great Nations, the immigration process was nearing its end. Nine out of ten houses in the Land of Wind were empty, and now only a few oases remained, inhabited by some elderly people.

At this moment, the great lord Qi Tai made his move again.

He sent a document to the Land of Waterfall, proposing a formal alliance between the Land of Earth and the Land of Waterfall. Daimyo Heiji agreed without hesitation. And so, the alliance between the two daimyo was established.

They did not notify their respective shadows.

Onoki only saw the news on TVB after the alliance announcement was released.

As for the television, it was something a nobleman merchant hadn't given him before he left.

At this moment, on the black-and-white display screen, the leaders of the two countries shook hands and jointly announced that the Land of Earth and the Land of Waterfall had established a permanent alliance to build a new era together.

After reading it, Onoki's blood pressure shot to the top of his head.

"You didn't even notify me! You didn't even notify me! Grand Marshal Keita, do you even respect me, the Tsuchikage?!"

Huang Tu, standing beside him, said cautiously, "Father, why are you angry? Forming an alliance is a good thing; at least our strength will be enhanced."

Huang Tu had been very depressed for a while because his beloved daughter had died in the Land of Wind, during a meaningless Chunin Exam.

But now, his workload is increasing, and he has no choice but to pull himself together and shoulder the responsibility.

"You don't understand!" Onoki couldn't quite put his finger on how he felt, but he was just annoyed, feeling that this daimyo had crossed his bottom line time and time again.

"No, I have to go back and take a look, and have a serious talk with Daming."

At this moment, Huang Tu, emboldened by some unknown source, grabbed his father and said, "Father, things have come to this. What good will it do to demand an explanation from him?"

"Kita, after all, is the daimyo of our Land of Earth. Although you are equal in name and status, we are ultimately spending their money and taking their resources."

"So Father... just bear with it, it's just a matter of saving face."

Hearing what Huang Tu said, Onoki felt that there was some truth to it, but he still felt that something was wrong, as if he had fallen into some kind of trap.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on it, and in the end, he decided to grit his teeth and bear with it for the sake of the money.

Little did they know, Keita was slowly boiling a frog in water, and their Iwagakure Village was that frog.
