Naruto: Start By Punching Trees And Shocking Kurama!

The Land of Grass

"What…!?"

"What the hell is going on!!"

"What on earth happened to the Land of Grass!!!?"

Obito stood atop a high vantage point, staring at the distant battle raging within the city and the unknown, grotesque monsters swarming the outskirts. He was on the verge of losing his mind.

'What the hell was this?!'

'I had just followed Uchiha Itachi for a while...'

'So why had things escalated like this?!'

He had been standing here for several hours, during which time he had also gone down to check on those monsters.

He had even managed to kill a few of them.

The monsters weren't particularly strong, but Obito had discovered something terrifying, they could evolve by devouring Chakra.

This scared Obito so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Now, as he glanced around, he saw that there were several thousand of these monsters in the Land of Grass.

If they were allowed to keep multiplying...

Then before his Eye of the Moon Plan could even begin, the Shinobi World might already be overrun by these abominations.

While Obito wants to create a new world with the Infinite Tsukuyomi...

But if there were no people left, how could he even do that?!

What was the point of hiding in a corner and playing with Tsukuyomi by himself?

If that were the case, why bother collecting the Biju at all? What was the point of the Infinite Tsukuyomi? He might as well just go find Itachi directly...

And when he looked at those white monsters, they reminded him a little too much of the White Zetsu.

This made him wonder if Black Zetsu was doing something behind his back.

Otherwise…

Logically speaking, things like this shouldn't even exist!

Thinking of this, Obito said in a cold tone.

"Black Zetsu, tell me the truth..."

"Did you create these things?"

Black Zetsu: "???"

As soon as he finished speaking, a shadowy figure emerged from the ground beside Obito.

Black Zetsu was completely baffled.

He felt even worse after being wrongly accused by Obito again.

'Bastard!'

'These things had nothing to do with him!!!'

But if he said they were completely unrelated...

To some extent, those monsters can be regarded as low-budget, mutated versions of Jubi.

Although he didn't know how this thing was made, the ability of these monsters to absorb Chakra and mutate nearly scared Black Zetsu to death.

Black Zetsu stared into the distance, his heart filled with shock and dread.

He was terrified that these things might have been unleashed upon the world by the Otsutsuki Clan, the one his mother had warned him about.

Because according to his calculations, if these monsters kept feeding and mutating, sooner or later, they will become existences more terrifying than Jubi.

By then, even if his mother were to revive and try to absorb Chakra, she might end up being devoured by these monsters instead.

Thousands of thoughts in Black Zetsu's mind all came together into a single sentence...

"It wasn't me!"

"I had nothing to do with this!!"

Black Zetsu now feels very uncomfortable looking at those monsters.

"I'll have White Zetsu investigate what's been happening recently!"

Because he had lived for too long, he only synchronized the intelligence of the entire Shinobi World every few months.

Furthermore, the focus of the intelligence was only on monitoring the villages with the Jinchuriki.

The Land of Grass hadn't been a priority...

Black Zetsu felt like he had eaten shit at this moment. He remembered that they had just synchronized the information last month!

'In just one short month...'

'How could things have escalated to this extent?!'

Black Zetsu thought about it and decided to have a good talk with Obito.

"Obito..."

"Madara-sama would never want to be revived into a world overrun by monsters..."

"We have to eliminate these monsters!"

Obito was silent for a while, and finally spoke after a while, "We must get the Akatsuki to take action together."

"I can't handle this many monsters alone."

Obito felt that Nagato, who called himself a god, wouldn't want humanity to be wiped out by these creatures before they could experience the pain he intended to bring.

After all, god also needed audiences.

Moreover, Obito was certain that these monsters would 100% interfere with his plans.

At this point, it didn't matter if the other villages acted or not, they had to move first.

Watching as the number of monsters in the city continued to grow, Obito gritted his teeth in frustration.

"Damn those Great Shinobi Villages!!"

"Isn't exterminating monsters supposed to be their job?!"

"Why haven't they made a move yet?!"

Obito felt very embarrassed when he thought that as the mastermind behind the incident, he had to save the world because the Shinobi World was about to be destroyed.

He also felt disgusted and desperate about the behavior of the Great Shinobi Villages.

'A world like this...'

'It indeed needs the purification of Infinite Tsukuyomi!'

"Okay, let's go back quickly then."

"If we wait any longer..."

"I'm afraid these monsters might become too much to handle."

As Black Zetsu said this, he also wanted to slap himself in the face.

'Damn it!'

'I never expected that after living for so many years, I would be forced to mobilize my pawns save the world just because the Shinobi World was about to be destroyed by monsters.'

'What the hell is this?!'

Obito took a deep breath and took a last look at the chaotic battlefield.

'Damn it!!'

'So annoying!'

After everything was done, he left the scene and headed to the Akatsuki to discuss this world-saving mission with Nagato.

…

Meanwhile, at the Five Kage Summit in the Land of Iron.

Naruto and Sasuke were sitting in the corner, with dark circles under their eyes.

"I told you we'd get our asses kicked!"

"Next time, don't drag me into this kind of stupid crap!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"Sasuke, your black eye is hilarious!"

Naruto pointed at Sasuke's face and laughed shamelessly.

Obviously, he didn't take what happened just now too seriously.

After all, Tsunade's punches didn't even hurt that much.

If there hadn't been so many people around, he would've even asked his aunt if she'd skipped breakfast today, as her punches felt weaker than usual.

"By the way, why didn't you fight back when the Raikage hit you just now?!"

"You could've used Three Thousand Lightning Movements! Or the Heavy Xuan Ruler!"

"You both use Lightning Release..."

"Didn't you wanna settle who's stronger?"

Faced with Naruto's instigation, Sasuke remained silent.

He wasn't as clueless as Naruto.

To put it bluntly, these villages are here to clean up their own mess this time, so he is really embarrassed to start a fight with them.

But still...

After taking a couple of punches from the Raikage just now, Sasuke got the feeling that this guy...

Wasn't all that.

'If I had gone all out...'

'This old man might not have even been able to touch me.'

Bang…

At this time, Tsunade slammed her fist on the table and roared at the two whispering in the corner.

"Are you two done yet?!"

"Jiraiya! Get these brats out of here!"

She was seriously about to lose it because of Naruto and Sasuke.

Just earlier, she had finally managed to reach an agreement with the other Kage outside, but not long after they took their seats inside, before their butts could even warm the chairs, the Five Kage looked up and saw the two of them staring down at them from the ceiling.

The sheer absurdity of the scene scared the hell out of them, especially the old man Onoki, who was so scared that he twisted his back and kept groaning in pain.

What followed was Tsunade beating up Naruto, while the Raikage, who felt that the kid in the black cloak was looking at him with a hint of challenge, decided to help Tsunade to deal with him.

This made Gaara so angry that if it wasn't for the purpose of not exposing Naruto's identity as the Cult Leader, he would've rolled up his sleeves and fought that despicable Hokage right then and there.

But doing so would mean he and the Cult Leader would have no place left in this world.

Gaara looked at Naruto, clenched his fists tightly, and silently made a vow in his heart.

'Naruto…'

'Wait for me! I swear I'll save you from that evil old hag's clutches!'

Jiraiya dragged the two troublemakers out, grumbling the whole way.

"Look at Gaara!"

"He has now reformed himself and become the Kazekage!"

"Now look at you!"

Naruto glanced at Gaara and noticed that the guy's eyes seemed to be drifting toward the 'big guy' territory, so he quickly sped up his steps to leave.

Hearing Jiraiya's words, he was very disdainful.

"What's the big deal?"

"White-haired old man, the one standing before you now is the former Godaime Kazekage of Sunagakure."

"Watch your tone!"

Jiraiya: "…"

Sasuke: "???"
