Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

Page 94

Feeling the touch on his shoulder, Naruto's body trembled slightly, as if he had just woken up from his daze.

He turned his head blankly and met Sakura's concerned, reddened eyes. His lips moved, but no sound came out. He simply nodded slowly.

Sasuke sighed and sat down on Naruto's other side, patting Naruto's shoulder, trying to offer comfort in his clumsy way: "Naruto, you have to cheer up..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Naruto suddenly stood up!

Clenching his fists tightly, his azure eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit: "I'm energized! I've never known so clearly what I need to do next!"

Sasuke and Sakura were both taken aback by Naruto's sudden outburst.

Sasuke looked at Naruto like this and didn't know what to say for a moment.

To everyone's surprise, Naruto stared intently at Sasuke, his expression suddenly turning serious: "Sasuke, don't you understand yet?"

Sasuke was stunned.

He couldn't help but frown and ask, "Understand what?"

Sakura also looked puzzled.

Naruto stared at Sasuke, his usual carefree demeanor gone, and said seriously, word by word, "The father in the dream did not die, the Nine-Tails attack never happened, and the Uchiha clan is still alive!"

Sasuke frowned, as if this logic did indeed make sense!

"You mean... that masked man was also one of the reasons for the Uchiha's annihilation?"

Naruto shook his head.

"Sasuke, have you forgotten? Yesterday, that imposter pretending to be your mother was rescued by that masked man himself!"

"!!!"

Sasuke was struck dumb upon hearing this, and his face turned deathly pale.

He stood there, stunned. From last night until now, he had been so worried about Naruto's condition that he hadn't had time to think about what had happened last night.

Now, reminded by Naruto, a thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly came to his senses.

……

Meanwhile, in the distant Land of Rain, in the village of Amegakure, shrouded in perpetual clouds—

"Well!"

In the dark cave, a man wearing a tiger-skin mask suddenly sat up in bed.

He raised his hand to rub his throbbing temples and muttered to himself, "That strange place... what exactly happened last night?"

Even with Tu Zi's strong will, he couldn't help but feel a little shaken by last night's experience.

Between dreaming and waking.

He felt as if he had been dragged into a bizarre, alien space, with strange audience seats and an enormous screen playing all sorts of strange plots.

Kushina in the dream did not die, and the "self" in the dream attacked Kushina again!

What's even weirder is.

Obito believed he knew himself best, but he always felt that the "Uchiha Obito" in his dream didn't seem to be after Kushina.

On the contrary, that guy kept staring at Kakashi, or more precisely, at Kakashi's own Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan!

"Hmph, trying to steal Kakashi's Sharingan, huh..."

Obito stroked his chin, a ghostly light flashing in his single eye, and murmured the same words over and over.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't tempted by this thought.

It's worth noting that Madara Uchiha once told him personally that only a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan could unleash the most powerful ocular power.

If I could regain the other eye, my pupil power would undoubtedly increase to a higher level, and then—

However, just a few seconds later, Obito suddenly loosened his fist: "There's no need now... rushing to steal Kakashi's eyes would only make it easier to expose my identity."

He muttered to himself, analyzing the situation, "The plan is going smoothly so far, we're far from that point yet."

However, for some reason, Obito felt a chill run down his spine and suddenly shivered.

A strong sense of palpitations and unease suddenly gripped his heart.

He felt as if he were being watched by some ferocious beast, and a chill ran down his spine.

Chapter 98 Danzo, I Want Command of the Root Organization

Night fell, and the Death Forest was filled with a chilling atmosphere.

The shadows of the trees are dancing.

A dark figure darted through the jungle at breakneck speed, almost blending into the surrounding darkness.

The person was dressed in the uniform of the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu, wearing a mask shaped like a bird's beak, and was speeding along the hidden markings carved on the tree trunk.

A moment later, he paused, landed in a dense forest, and whispered a series of distinctive bird calls.

There was a commotion immediately behind the bushes not far away.

Immediately afterwards, an ANBU member wearing a cat-face mask appeared, cautiously looking around: "What is it?"

"Urgent notice! All members of the Dark Guard must immediately abandon their current missions and return to the assembly point!"

The bird-beak masked figure immediately relayed orders upon landing, his voice solemn and powerful.

Upon hearing this, the cat-masked operative in the shadows trembled slightly, then silently nodded: "Alright, I'll be there soon."

Seeing that the other side did not act immediately, the Birdbeak operative's tone became even more stern: "The order is immediate!"

The bird-beaked operative's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he shouted, "Halt!"

As he spoke, he drew a cold, menacing kunai from behind, aiming it at the dark side of the cat's face. His left hand also swiftly produced a signal flare, which he warily raised above his head, his voice chilling, "What's with the bloodstains?!"

Catface, the operative, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and said with feigned ease, "Hehe, don't be nervous. I had a little conflict with the target during the mission and suffered a minor injury! I'll bandage my wound first and then head back to the assembly point soon."

Birdbeak's sharp eyes scanned him for a moment, and seeing Catface slowly take out first aid medicine and indeed treat a wound on his arm, he lowered his guard slightly.

"Hurry up!"

He gave a stern warning and slowly put down the kunai in his hand.

Without further hesitation, he vanished into the depths of the forest and swiftly retreated towards Konoha.

After the bird-beak masked member of the spies had gone, the cat-faced member remained in his half-squatting position, motionless, as if listening to the sounds around him.

After a long while, once he was sure he was far enough away, he slowly straightened up and chuckled softly, "That was close..."

As he spoke, he reached out and removed his cat-face mask.

Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, illuminating the pale, handsome face beneath the mask.

It was Yakushi Kabuto.

Kabuto casually tossed away his blood-stained mask, pushed up his round-framed glasses, and glanced at the large tree beside him.

There lay a corpse, stripped down to its underwear.

"First, Konoha sent people to monitor me, and now they've urgently summoned all the Anbu members who are on missions outside... What are they trying to do?"

Yakushi Kabuto frowned, glanced at the cold corpse at his feet, and muttered to himself.

It turns out that shortly after the start of the second round of the Chunin Exams, Kabuto had noticed that someone was following and monitoring him.

That person was elusive and highly skilled; he was most likely an ANBU member sent by the higher-ups of Konoha.

In order to shake off his tail, Dou deliberately took a big detour and even pretended to retreat towards the 12th entrance of the Death Forest.

However, the other party persisted in their pursuit, and he was eventually forced to take matters into his own hands and eliminate them secretly.

"but……"

He looked up at the boundless forest under the vast night sky, his expression gradually turning calm.

"I still haven't found any trace of Naruto and the others... It seems I won't be able to complete the intelligence-gathering mission Lord Orochimaru assigned me. In that case, instead of wasting time here, I should hurry back and report the Konoha Anbu's movements to Lord Orochimaru!"

……

at the same time.

Root tissue base.

At this moment, in a dimly lit office deep inside the base, several ninja swords and maps hanging on the wall reflected a chilling light.

In the center of the office, the one-eyed old man sat with his back to the door. The wide back of the chair concealed his figure, revealing only a section of his right arm, wrapped in bandages, resting on the side of the chair.

He lowered his head slightly, as if deep in thought.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knocking on the door.

"Come in."

The old man's voice was hoarse and low.

A masked Root ninja pushed open the door and knelt on one knee: "Lord Danzo! The Third Hokage has come to visit!"

Before he could finish speaking and Danzo could respond, the door behind him was pushed open forcefully from the outside again!

"Hiruzen?!"

Danzo turned his head abruptly, a hint of surprise and displeasure flashing in his single eye.

This guy is usually very concerned about his image and follows the rules.

To my utter surprise, they barged in without waiting for notification.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, walked into the room with a solemn expression.

His eyes were sharp as he scanned the room and noticed several Root members standing on either side. He immediately frowned, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice, "You may all leave."

Unexpectedly, several Root ninjas ignored Hiruzen Sarutobi's orders.

Upon seeing this, Sarutobi's face darkened, and he slammed his pipe heavily on the table, making a dull thud.

He gave the crowd a cold glance, his imposing aura forcing them to involuntarily lower their heads.

Danzo snorted and waved his hand: "You all go out first."

"Yes."
