Chapter 46 Premature Action
The next morning, Naruto stood outside the door, looking like he wanted to knock but didn't dare, mainly because he was worried that he would be kicked out by Uzumaki Reikawa again, just like yesterday.
However, he was recently beaten to a pulp by Sasuke and had no choice but to squat outside the door in frustration after scratching his head for a while. Well, it wouldn't make a difference if he waited a little longer.
However, inside his room, Uzumaki Reikawa didn't actually need to sleep at all. He hadn't done anything lately and was quite energetic. He only slept by sitting on the bed and spacing out to maintain a regular sleep schedule and conserve chakra.
I also watched with a mischievous grin as Naruto struggled with his thoughts and then gave up. As for the Nine-Tails, after discussing it with Tsunade, we decided to take it slow, so we didn't call Yamato for this training camp.
Reikawa Uzumaki's task was to help Naruto suppress the Nine-Tails and prevent it from causing trouble whenever possible. As for the previously mentioned complete control of the Nine-Tails, Reikawa Uzumaki realized that Tsunade was more concerned with confirming his stance.
After all, Tsunade truly doted on Naruto like her own younger brother, so she should know Naruto's situation all too well.
Meanwhile, on Akatsuki's side, 'Uchiha Gen' was contemplating life. After a long period of slacking off, Akatsuki gave him the task of capturing that Uzumaki clan member.
"..." Me capture myself? For Payne, this does seem to be a convenient way to prove his loyalty.
After adapting to that white-eyed skin, the main body is on its way back, not knowing when it will arrive. Why did it have to leave all this to this weak, pitiful, and helpless clone?
Meanwhile, Uchiha Gen, whose mind was preoccupied with other matters, looked at the new additions to his skill panel: Eight Trigrams 361 Styles and Heavenly Rotation. Their power was impressive, a fact evident from the damage done to the trees during previous power tests.
However, after thinking for a long time, Uchiha Gen felt that these skills were not very useful to him. The Vajra Seal was both offensive and defensive, and could Rotation be as strong as Susanoo's defense?
The skin was refreshed again. Uchiha Gen noticed the protruding bone spurs on the skin, indicating it belonged to the Shikotsumyaku clan. However, this guy had short white hair and green eyes, making him quite different from Uchiha Gen in appearance. The price remained the same: one Asuma's head...
Meanwhile, after the White Zetsu's relentless investigation into Gen Uchiha, the final result pointed directly to Orochimaru. One White Zetsu seemed unusually excited about this result—the very same one who had been with Obito that day, the one who speculated that Gen Uchiha might be an Edo Tensei (Reanimation Jutsu) form.
Feeling confident that it had grasped the truth, this White Zetsu immediately shared its guess with the Black Zetsu. Given the generally low intelligence of White Zetsu, the White Zetsu undoubtedly felt a sense of pride in believing it had obtained the truth.
As for Obito, he had already mentioned it before, so he didn't go into details again, but he did tell Obito the information the White Zetsu had found about Orochimaru.
Black Zetsu did not deny this White Zetsu speculation. Like Obito Uchiha, he remained neutral, because regardless of his perception, Gen Uchiha was a living, breathing person. However, this White Zetsu speculation was also the most plausible one to be true.
And if that's really the case, it completely explains why Uchiha Gen appeared out of nowhere, with no trace of him. Moreover, the Edo Tensei body is the easiest to control, and if handled well, it might even be recruited for one's own use. It's just that Orochimaru is not so easy to capture.
Over here, Pain watched as Jiraiya, having seemingly uncovered something, retreated temporarily. He didn't stop Jiraiya from leaving, but was lost in thought, reflecting on recent events.
Pain was silent for a moment, then suddenly gave a signal to convene a meeting. Once everyone was present, he slowly began to speak, "The tailed beast capture operation will begin ahead of schedule. You will be in pairs. As for the distribution of tailed beasts, you will choose the one closest to you to capture. The strongest, Kurama, will be captured by me personally."
For a moment, the Akatsuki members were in a state of mixed emotions: some were happy, some were confused, and some were indifferent. However, they were all wondering what had made their leader change his mind about acting ahead of schedule.
Itachi's expression was solemn. Although he didn't know why the Akatsuki's operation had been brought forward, he had to find a way to send the message back to Konoha. However, both capturing and locating the Akatsuki and sealing them would take time, so there should still be enough time.
Black Zetsu frowned slightly. Although he didn't know why, the situation wasn't bad. He also wanted to revive his mother as soon as possible. But hadn't he wanted to accumulate some financial resources before? At this time, most of the Jinchuriki were in the village. What made Nagato change his mind?
The reason Nagato issued this order was simply because he subconsciously felt that the longer the situation dragged on, the worse it would become. If nothing unexpected happened, Jiraiya had already found out some information and had a strange intuition that more and more powerful figures would appear inexplicably as time went on.
However, since Gen Uchiha did not have the ring, he was unaware of the Akatsuki meeting.
"Naruto, relax. I'm going to loosen some of the seal on you. Remember to control yourself!"
"Hmm!" Naruto's heart was pounding. After Kakashi's explanation, he fully understood the meaning of the fox inside him. It would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid at all.
After learning about the situation with 'Uchiha Gen,' Reikawa Uzumaki didn't have much patience to wait for Naruto to use his talk-no-jutsu to slowly open Kurama's heart.
If nothing unexpected happens, Uzumaki Reikawa may have to "die" once in a month or two. The Akatsuki organization only admires the strong. If he can't solve his own problems, his image as a strongman will collapse immediately, and it will be even more difficult to get autographs afterward.
Moreover, he now has a grand goal and doesn't want to wait for them to peel back their layers like a nested doll, now that he's realized he has the strength. So, given his calculated advantage, can he disrupt this cycle and, in a situation where he's caught off guard, eliminate Black Zetsu?!
While each clone is weaker in terms of endurance, it cannot be denied that, given enough chakra, each clone's initial strength is in no way inferior to the original.
Not to mention that the skin provided by the system greatly enhances the ability to withstand damage, and the Akatsuki's plan seems more and more feasible the more you think about it two or three years later.
Furthermore, with the foresight of his past life, Reikawa Uzumaki could easily boost the strength of the two chosen ones without taking any detours. This would provide an extra layer of insurance even if they failed. However, if he wanted to do this, he would have to find a way to speed up the collection of the two signature cards.
Sensing that a stranger had broken into the seal, Kurama slowly opened its slightly closed eyes, its vertical pupils, representing a wild beast, staring intently at Uzumaki Reikawa. Kurama felt threatened by him, just like it did with Uzumaki Kushina back then.
Baring its enormous, menacing fangs, it seemed to be shouting from its abdomen, "You brat, who are you?!"
