That world...
There is no Akihara Kagura...
But...
More people died in that world...
Whether it was the destruction of the Uchiha Clan, the collapse of Konoha, or the final battle of the Ninja Alliance, the number of deaths was countless, even Jiraiya became a sacrifice to stop Nagato's plan. He witnessed the end of the world from an observer's perspective.
In that dream world, Jiraiya saw his disciple, Naruto Uzumaki, become the prophesied child who saved the world and saw the prophecy he had chased his whole life come true...
However...
That dream world was almost devastatingly lost.
Jiraiya believed that his disciple Akihara Kagura might not be a villain, but unfortunately, he couldn't share this guess with more people. He could only privately confide his experiences in the Infinite Tsukuyomi to his friend Orochimaru...
Orochimaru didn't want to believe it.
It's just a pity that Jiraiya's guess was true.
"Being too smart isn't always good..."
Akihara Kagura smiled at the corner of his mouth and sincerely invited, "I've been in this world for fifteen years and am about to start the next journey. Lord Orochimaru, are you interested in joining?"
"Sure..."
Orochimaru displayed a slight smile on his face, surprisingly agreeing, and even proposed another guess: "Kagura, Danzo died at your hands, and yet I survived. Is it because I gave you birthday and New Year gifts every year?"
"You're saying it like I care about such trivial things..."
Akihara Kagura waved his hand repeatedly, but the smile on his lips grew stronger. He enjoyed communicating with the intelligent Orochimaru because Orochimaru always understood his thoughts.
Yes...
Back when he was practically alone in Konoha, there was nothing warmer than receiving New Year's greetings and birthday gifts.
"I prepared a companion for you specifically..."
Akihara Kagura smiled and raised his hand, summoning a figure very familiar to Orochimaru: "You two were old teammates, you should get along, right?"
"Scorpion..."
Orochimaru gritted his teeth as he looked at the figure of Red Sand Sasori.
Who would have expected...
Akihara Kagura would let him and Red Sand Sasori, the old adversaries of the Akatsuki Organization, become partners. It seems Kagura thought ahead about having Sasori monitor him...
"Fine..."
Orochimaru shook his head, then a smile appeared on his face: "It's not bad to team up with an old partner..."
"However..."
"I prefer Kabuto as my partner..."
"Speaking of which, Kagura, you should be skilled in getting Kabuto, right?"
"I won't stop Kabuto and the director from doing what they want..."
Akihara Kagura shook his head and continued without care: "I came here just to take a few things from Kabuto. I heard he summoned the Gold and Silver Brothers and should have some weapons left by the Six Paths Sage..."
"Does Kagura care about this?"
Orochimaru looked at Akihara Kagura in surprise.
"No..."
Akihara Kagura shook his head and looked at the festively decorated Konoha Village outside: "I heard that the Five Great Countries are going to commend the heroes who stopped the disaster in the Ninja World today, so it's only natural heroes need a few awards when being commended, right?"
"Does Naruto need it too?"
Uchiha Sasuke furrowed his eyebrows.
No doubt about it.
The ninjas the Ninja World wanted to commend were Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke, but Uchiha Sasuke refused to stand in the spotlight, so the honor naturally went to Naruto Uzumaki alone.
Besides...
Naruto Uzumaki was also the strongest ninja in the Ninja World now.
The Five Great Countries' Hidden Villages wanted to take this opportunity to commend Naruto Uzumaki and discuss the possible future threats from outside the Ninja World.
"Did I say I would give it to him?"
Akihara Kagura smiled and walked into the orphanage on his own.
"Wait!"
Uchiha Sasuke quickly stopped Akihara Kagura and said in a deep voice: "I have a question, my clansmen... where are they! I want to give them a home!"
"Oh?"
Akihara Kagura turned back and waved at Uchiha Sasuke: "Then you should go find them yourself! Remember to ask them politely and not use your power to threaten my former subordinates!"
Those Uchiha...
don't want to leave this world.
Akihara Kagura naturally wouldn't force them.
After all, they had all followed Shisui; it was only through following Akihara Kagura. Since Shisui's soul had been summoned by the Six Paths Sage, those Uchiha, fearing Akihara Kagura's power, wanted to continue staying here.
Orochimaru followed Akihara Kagura and raised a question of his own interest: "By the way, Kagura, how exactly did you break the Chibaku Tensei?"
"Chibaku Tensei truly lives up to being the ultimate sealing technique..."
When Akihara Kagura spoke to this point, he frowned involuntarily, as if still a bit fearful of his recklessness: "Perhaps I was a bit too reckless, and that Wood Clone did not escape Amenominaka due to carelessness..."
"Wood... clone..."
Orochimaru's smile suddenly froze.
Even in the pupils of Uchiha Sasuke, a trace of shock flashed!
The one who beat all of them and even forced the Six Paths Sage to gather the Pure Land souls to use Chakra and seal Akihara Kagura with Chibaku Tensei was merely Akihara Kagura's Wood Clone!
