Roaring Light

Makoto uttered an answer that Yugito had not expected.

The big cat's pupils, instantly shrunk to a tiny dot.

...Is Yugito really unaware of certain changes in society?

How could it be.

The Ninja Village was the place where news flowed the most in this world, and Big Kitty Cat was so bullied by Makoto, no matter how much of a cat she was before, the current one actually knew about concupiscence.

Before, she might still be in authority, but after Makoto pointed it out, I'm afraid...

"You bastard, what the hell are you babbling about!"

"Don't even think about separating Kumo from the Land of Lightning!"

"Ninjutsu - Mouse Hairball!"

Without even giving Yugito a chance to open his mouth again, Yugito opened his small mouth and a large mass of dark blue chakra rushed towards Makoto at high speed.

In that dazzling mass of chakra, a small pitch-black mouse vaguely flashed.

This was one of Yugito's famous stunts.

Don't look at it as just a chakra mass, this thing could actually track.

This thing was extremely hot, and it was no joke if it was hit.

And from what Makoto knew about Yugito, whenever she released this move, she would also release another combo.

-Coming!

"Mouse Tail Hairball!"

T/N: I can't find the above in the wiki

The first Mouse Hairball was actually used to interfere with the enemy's judgment; the Mouse Hairball didn't deal low damage, but the enemies that were qualified to go up against Yugito wouldn't be too bad in terms of strength or speed.

Just as the ninja world laughed about the fact that ninjutsu could never be thrown to death, and that Amaterasu could never shine on people - it wasn't the skills themselves that were the problem, it was the fact that the enemies that these skills needed to face were too strong.

Yugito never pinned his hopes on the Mouse Hairball, but rather the Mouse Tail Hairball behind it... While Makoto was gawking at the dazzling chakra clusters in front of him, dozens of smaller, yet even more dazzling chakra clusters had already blocked all of his directions of escape, sweeping towards him at a rapid pace.

Each of these chakra clusters was followed by a Yugito chakra thread, which looked stupid, but Yugito could make them turn around whenever he wanted.

It was complicated to say the least, yet everything was done in a flash.

In a flash, a huge spider web had been completed, and Makoto was the prey in the very center.

With such a fast pace of attack, which ninja could resist?

Can't resist!

Those who can become a human pillar power naturally have their strong points.

Unfortunately... the opponent she chose this time was Makoto.

Makoto didn't even dodge.

He just stood still, raised his palm, and then the structure resisted all the chakra clusters.

Boom, boom, boom!

After a series of explosions, fire and smoke rose in all directions.

A fresh breeze blew, quickly dispersing the dust in front of Yugito. However, what appeared in front of her was only a Makoto who had his palms blown until they were charred black, but his face had a look of indifference.

"Cut it."

"It's scorched."

Makoto muttered as five chakra threads appeared on his other hand.

These Chakra threads ruthlessly wrapped around Makoto's charred palm, and in the next moment, Makoto violently pulled, directly pulling off his severely damaged palm.

A cold aura flickered in his cold black pupils, and his complete palm reappeared.

Makoto pulled his hand out, and the Chakra threads were immediately sucked into the connection between his palm and arm. After a surge of cells, Makoto's palm that had been blasted until it was scorched black was as good as new.

At this time, Yugito didn't stop either, only to see five slender cat claws extend out from her hand, after being infused with chakra, these seemingly harmless cat claws also turned into divine weapons for killing.

Poof.

Makoto didn't make any means of defense from the beginning, he didn't even bother to perform a split jutsu, he just sat back and watched as Yugito stabbed through his heart with his cat claws.

However, Yugito, who had struck her enemy squarely in the heart, did not have a smile on her face.

Because she clearly felt a huge repulsive force coming from the cat's claw - obviously she had already been hit in the heart, but the other party's heart even resisted the cat's claw's stabbing attack with its muscles, and even pushed the cat's claw out in turn!

-What the hell kind of heart is this!

Yugito's entire body was confused.

And because of this small hesitation, she failed to dodge the cat claw that flew out backwards as it was broken by Makoto's heart.

Pfft!

Yugito was tall, and the cat's claw that flew out backwards went straight through her chest.

It was also the fact that the second tail was on good terms with her, and at the most dangerous moment used the tailed beast coat to help her block a bit, deflecting the direction of the cat claw's flight. Otherwise, a generation of Human Pillars would have died here.

Even so, Yugito was knocked to his knees, his eyes gleaming with blackness, and he couldn't get up for half a day.

"What the hell kind of ninjutsu are you... coughing..."

"If I tell you that I don't know either, will you believe me?"

Makoto looked at Yugito helplessly.

He really didn't know what kind of jutsu it was.

The return blow from his heart just now did not come from his own control, but rather from his body's instinctive response-needless to say, it must have come from the 'good side's' memories again.

'Good side' lived in the Asura Path and fought to the death with successive generations of strongmen every day. Hell knows what kind of jutsu those strongmen knew, but it was certain that 'Good side' would actively learn those jutsu that he found useful.

Both of them are the soul of this body, the 'good side' will be able to do it, and after using it more often, the body will naturally be able to do it as well.

...In terms of combat, the gap between the two souls really isn't normally large.

When the two people are wide-eyed, Makoto's chest that was torn open by the cat's claws, noiselessly healed.

The recovery power of the Shodaime was really unreasonable, no wonder the future Dance-chan had to have a sweetheart on top of his chest as well.

Seeing Makoto self-healing this scene, Yugito a burst of scalp numbness, the heart of the hard to drum up the courage to fight, but actually noiselessly dissipated.

Simply can not fight... this terrible guy...

This guy, even if he is not serious, also possesses the power to completely crush her.

This level of monsters was not supposed to be challenged by Jinchuuriki.

Only the legendary Shodaime Hokage and Uchiha Madara could be his opponents...

"There is a limit to every person's patience, you have chosen me, I can tolerate some of your little caprices, but - stop in moderation."

"I'm not very interested in tailed beasts, and I still haven't figured out what to do with that arrogant nine-tailed fox at home... But I'm sure Nagato would be incredibly interested in you."

"Now, can we have a good chat?"

Makoto looked at Yugito seriously.

Yugito hung her head, her long, proud and dazzling blonde hair becoming incredibly dull at this point in time.

The second tail traveled again to secretly condense a cat's head and appeared on Yugito's shoulder.

"Meow... really twisted man, just know bullying meow meow... have never seen so chasing girls."

"Yugito, don't be afraid, let's keep fighting him, I'll support you!"

The racial characteristics of cats are proud and screwed up, and more or less neurotic.

No one knew what the cats were thinking.

Obviously, they were scared to death before, but now Yugito wanted to continue fighting Makoto... Luckily Yugito wasn't really a cat after all.

She was incredibly disheveled, but still raised her hands.

"I understand, that so-called Kinjutsu Dojo is your conspiracy again, right? -

"No wonder you've been intentionally stopping me before, and had to pull me out to talk alone. Let me guess, is it because you're not prepared to set these things off at this time? -

"When you're actually going to use them, it must be the end of the Land of Lightning and Kumo, right? -

"Tanaka he... has long since defected to you, hasn't he?"

Yugito's overly direct ball of inquiry left Makoto at a loss for words for a moment.

He admitted that these so-called book clubs were indeed pawns he had laid before.

Most of the books in them, he had pulled out from the Heart Demon and then threw them into the Land of Lightning after localizing them.

The social system of the Naruto world had serious problems, not only was it uncomfortable for ninjas, but in fact for everyone.

As an elite Jonin, Makoto could not do much, but as a Hokage... naturally going to make this group of people spontaneously start to rebel.

Even the leaders of those associations know that there are three things in the world of gangsters: a lot of money, a lot of people, and loyalty. How could Makoto let go of the power of the common people.

No matter what era, the people had power.

Nagato was certainly powerful, even founded the Land of Ninjas, compared to the original performance, he had been too strong. But he had never believed in the power of the people... so he had been trapped on the Paradise Island.

Makoto has always believed that change should be one thing that the entire class, all of them, work together on.

Otherwise, it will become the Third Brother.

T/N: 'Third Brother', also known as Lee Sam from Hero of Tomorrow

Third Brother obviously has some technology, but as a result, in some places, it can not even promote the washing machine, is because labor is too cheap, laundry factories are far more cost-effective... Similarly, because of the incomplete reform of the assets, obviously has legally destroyed the caste system, but as a result, it is still living in the hearts of the people...

These are mistakes that Makoto will never make again.

Whether it is rich merchants, sharecroppers, small citizens, workers, peasants... all everything should be pulled in.

The noble things actually have nothing, they are just a group of paper tigers that have been foxing around.

They don't even have individual power in a world like this that does have transcendent power.

It's like putting paper cups on a sleeping person, everything the Nobles have is actually based on that person always being asleep. As soon as they wake up... well Yugito wasn't actually completely wrong, when these happen the Land of Lightning is sure to be completely finished.

When these happen, it will definitely be overkill.

The Land of Lightning doesn't even exist as a basis for rule anymore, so naturally it can be easily invaded by foreign enemies.

What could not be managed by hundreds of thousands of dead ninjas, now it might just be a matter of going over there and taking over.

At an earlier time, Yugito had already chosen Makoto's camp. But Makoto knew that it was impossible for this cat to sincerely defect to him.

The words in the car were actually just a psychological expectation for her... Now, it is the real showdown...

In fact, if there is a choice, Makoto is not willing to showdown at this time.

But things have developed to this point, he also has no choice.

The Daimyos have been slow to respond, and the impact of book clubs is still relatively limited, but cannot let them uproot the reading club at this time...

"You are right. But there's one thing you're mistaken about, all those things before were their spontaneous behavior, I didn't give any direct orders..."

Makoto was telling the truth, he did not encourage those guards, much less recognize who Tanaka was, these were all their spontaneous and plain actions.

Young people are passionate, see the correct theory, can not help but want to go to practice... This is good, but because the timing is not right, but made a problem, so Makoto has been blocking before.

Seeing that he could not be blocked, he personally ran here.

But this kind of words, Yugito would never believe it, right?

Makoto simply stopped mentioning that.

"But on the bright side, the Land of Fire will go down with it, won't it? -

"What we're building is actually a whole new world."

Makoto spread his arms wide and looked at Yugito seriously.

"We were taught to be both vicious and insane, filled with the arrogance of domination and the terror of power. -

"We are ordered to die, but not allowed to think about why. -

"Because ninjas are just tools. -

"But now, I've decided to do the opposite. I'm going to strip away their polite skins, dismantle their proud aristocracy, and tell everyone the truth, everyone in the world... and then we decide our own destiny. -

"We go and reclaim the land. We build our own homes, and whoever won't let us do so, we overthrow them. This planet, as it was meant to belong to all of us. -

"That's what I agreed to do with Minato, Haruto, and Sage of Six Paths."

Yugito's pupils began to tremble.

She had fought Makoto three times in a row, only to receive the worst defeat all three times.

In fact, Yugito knew very well in her heart that the only reason she was still alive was simply because Makoto did not want her to die.

He was taking pity on her.

For the proud cat, repeated defeats as well as pity were simply worse than killing her.

But she couldn't die on the other hand, because the current Kumo was too weak to withstand any changes.

This extremely twisted and cruel situation made it so hard that she almost collapsed.

"You mean to make me betray Kumo and the Land of Lightning?"

"In your place, would you be willing!"

Makoto returned an innocent smile.

"Of course I would be willing. -

"Because what I'm going to establish next is a republic. -

"A republic that's more in line with this era and can make everyone a little more comfortable."

Yugito felt that her attempt to debate with Makoto was the stupidest act in the world.

This guy had no morals or decency at all.

She wanted to leave.

She couldn't stop Makoto from doing anything, and the only thing she could do right now was to preserve the foundation of Kumo as much as possible.

But when she turned around, Makoto came lightly in front of her again.

His movements were light, and the will displayed in them was unbelievably firm.

"I don't want you to make your final choice at this point in time. But the current situation no longer allows you and I to hesitate."

"You already know these things, and Kumogakure can wipe out these fragile book clubs whenever you want."

"You should know the greed and cruelty of the Daimyo."

"When it comes to defending their rule, they will never begrudge their cruelty... so you only have two choices now."

Plans could never catch up with changes fast enough, but with things having come to this, Makoto could only begin the final showdown.

"Die, or completely throw yourself into my camp."

Yugito raised his head, forcibly enduring the pain from his body's injuries, and stared at Makoto to death.

"How do you make me choose like this! -

"It is impossible for me to betray the Land of Lightning, much less Kumogakure!"

This was the trouble after the rise of the modern concept of the state ah.

If it was still the Warring States Era, everyone would have been ritually disrespectful and underhanded all day long, and who cares who's from which country.

But things were different now.

Makoto's eyes began to sparkle with light.

Yugito was not Yakura, if she was Yakura, he would have slipped to his knees long ago, and even had to bring Terumi Mei with him.

But Yugito was different.

The woman was just too proud.

It was also the fact that the responsibility of Kumo still rested on her shoulders right now, or else she would have performed a double death a long time ago - and Nibi would surely have died along with her.

Such a situation was really helpless, but Makoto couldn't fail because he still had to fight the Otsutsuki lineage, and he still had to fight the Good Souls, and he needed vast amounts of dark chakra.

In the case of no longer raising a war, to obtain a sufficient amount of chakra, it would be the endless despair of slaughtering all the nobles...

Makoto had resolved to directly control Yugito with his illusions.

Along with the second tail.

There would definitely be some negative effects of doing so, but at this point in time, he could no longer care about that.

Yugito obviously sensed this as well, and she condensed her will into a single point, preparing for a final mental confrontation.

However, right at this final moment of sword fighting, a slender and slender figure slowly came from outside.

"Aiya, Makoto, chasing after cute girls again?"

Makoto turned his head to see that it was still an old acquaintance.

Aunt Snake.

Today's Aunt Snake was still enchanting as she wore a camellia kimono and carried an oil paper umbrella. With an aura like that of an Oiran, she walked slowly.

A pair of slender snake eyes blinking and blinking, wordlessly seducing the soul.

...Aunt Snake, if you had changed to this look earlier, Jiraiya would not have to worry about not having a partner, and he would not have to be the king of hell for two thousand dollars all day long.

The older single youth is indeed a bit scary.

"Which is not true, we are not a couple."

"By the way, how did you get here..."

"There are too many tasks inside Akatsuki these days, and Pain doesn't know what he's working on." Aunt Snake shrugged, revealing some of her white collarbones, "I got scooped out of the lab and ran to see you guys play detective."

Akatsuki's side knew about the assassination, of course, except that Pain had no intention of getting deeply involved.

-Before the ninja alliance had thrown a few bitternesses into the sky, and everyone would have been considered worthy of the Daimyo's cultivation. But if the Akatsuki organization is involved in the assassination case, then the Land of Lightning is definitely going to be furious, and in that state, the Land of Lightning won't care about the cost... Pain actually knows his good senior brother's temper, and he'll definitely throw the pot all over his head...

So there was Aunt Snake's trip.

Of course, Aunt Snake was one of her own and only cared about technology and didn't care about the strife.

As long as there were enough projects and funds, she could stay in her snake nest for the rest of her life.

Therefore, Makoto directly told her about the difficulties at hand.

"Oh, that's really a dilemma ah... that year's helpless move, but it turned out to be that little girl Temari who ate the biggest dividend."

"If the position of Mrs. Hokage is still vacant now, then everything will be much better, right..."

Makoto was just about to nod when he snapped back.

"It's actually for the best right now, Temari is still young and doesn't know anything. It's also just as well that the others aren't arguing because she's occupying this position... Hey!"

"Do you all enjoy watching my harem explode so much!"

There were both good and bad things about Temari occupying the position of the main wife.

One of the biggest good things was that the girls around Makoto were all about face, and weren't so much as to fight with a little girl of a few years old... Everyone treats her like an idiot...

Being disturbed by Aunt Snake like this, the serious atmosphere from before was sort of dispersed cleanly.

Aunt Snake covered her mouth and laughed lightly.

"Makoto, you really are still the same as before, nothing matters. But as soon as you talk about your favorite person, you will be a little messed up... you know? How cute you look every time you say your harem explodes."

-Is this the reason you guys molest me every day? If grandpa can't deal with grandson, can't I still deal with you!

Believe it or not, I'll let you have ten babies... only this one can't...

Makoto was all but helpless, rubbing his brow furiously.

"This really isn't the time to joke around, Kumo and Akaho's people will be coming over soon."

"It's okay on the Kumo side, those Akaho guys are just pure mad dogs."

"They won't make any compromises, if they can't muddle through, it's going to be a tussle... Yugito, state your choice!"

As a proper Hokage, Makoto never forgot his mission no matter what.

Aunt Snake also looked seriously at Yugito.

"Ladies, Makoto has been pursuing you for so long, so you should at least give him an answer, right? Even if it's a good guy card."

Countless question marks surfaced on Yugito's head.

"He pursued me? What are you babbling about!"

"Oh? You never realized it? Then remember again, remember how special Makoto was to you. Also, he obviously could have just killed you, but he gave you so many chances... Did you really not notice?"

Yugito blinked, lost in thought.

As soon as Makoto heard it, he knew that this was Aunt Snake deliberately fooling Yugito.

-Don't ever look for evidence with a preconceived notion!

Horoscopes and fortune-telling are such a scam.

Yugito and Makoto had interacted quite a bit, and Makoto had said quite a few flirty things to piss off this cat.

Before, it could have been taken as Makoto messing around again, but now words...

Yugito's miserably white face slowly turned a bright red.

This woman looks domineering, but in fact, she has never been in love at all... There is no way, who let her be a Jincuuriki.

The ninja's brain circuit is very strange, as long as it is a human pillar power, it will definitely be discriminated against.

It's just that the perfect Jinchuuriki, as well as the strong ones among the Human Pillars, would make people change their concepts through their own efforts.

This includes Killer B, who is naturally strong, is brothers with Raikage, and can sing and dance rap happily...

It's hard enough to tolerate Rinpoche, let alone fall in love with one.

Of course, jinchuuriki themselves are not without their problems. If you get it wrong, it can really put the lives of those around you in danger.

Gaara is often out of the question.

...I have to say, Minato's path is really wild.

"Even if this is the case... even if this is the case... I am also a part of Kumo, it is impossible to be with a Hokage, and this guy obviously has bad intentions!"

"Is that so? Is it true that you don't even give the slightest chance?" Aunt Snake smirked as she continued to stimulate Yugito's nerves, "That said, back in the day, Shodaime-sama and Uchiha Madara, were also mortal enemies of each other, with each side having the blood of the other's own brothers on their hands. But for the sake of the ninja's future, Shodaime-sama was willing to put aside his hatred... Now the compromises we make are indeed painful, but what if our descendants can thus stop bleeding in vain?"

Aunt Snake said this, and took out a small white flower from her sleeve.

"I picked this up on the road, and I liked it so much that I kept it with me."

"I met it just as he met you."

"Yugito, the world shouldn't be like this."

As expected of Aunt Snake, who was good at picking up children, she couldn't help but be moved by the words that came out of her mouth.

-At the very least, she behaved much better than Makoto, who was covered in black aura and couldn't move two ways.

Yugito pondered for a while, but eventually shook his head.

"No matter what, I can't let go... Nowadays, Kumo has become like this, it's all caused by this guy... It's not about love, no one can accept this kind of thing..."

"I'm sorry, if he wants to kill, then I will also fight to the end!"

...Aunt Snake's words not only didn't make Yugito compromise, but it stirred up her fighting spirit.

Things got even worse.

Yet Aunt Snake was still very calm.

"Really, not a chance at all? We might have a better ending."

"Hmph." Yugito snorted coldly and rolled up his pants leg, revealing his delicate little feet, "I'll oblige him if he'll kneel down and lick my feet."

"Is that possible? It's impossible!"

Aunt Snake's eyes flickered as she looked at Makoto.

"Hey, I've helped you get the chance, this is the best chance to peacefully integrate Kumo, get on it."

...Aunt Snake, are you here to help me or screwing me over!

... ...

"What the hell is going on here, where the hell did the two ladies go!"

While Makoto and Yugito were confronting each other, there was a flurry of agitation coming from the group that Kumo was a part of.

After all, this attack was just too strange.

If anything, when they were attacked in the beginning, the Kumo didn't think much of it. Then as time went by, the Kumo elders began to gradually come back to their senses.

And not only was the attack strange, Yugito s reaction was even weirder... Why did she leave the group alone?

The experienced ninja thought of many possibilities.

But ninjas were ultimately a military system, and had always been about orders.

If their superiors gave an order, then they had no choice but to carry it out.

But Akaho and his party, who were not under the jurisdiction of the ninja, were much more cranky.

After all, they were not soldiers who crawled out of a pile of dead people, and although they had the awareness of serving and dying for their lord, they were still a bit tumultuous after actually facing war.

To make matters worse, they were inherently distrustful of the shinobi group.

Yugito's sudden departure and lack of detailed explanation naturally aroused Akaho's suspicion - even though Yugito had closed himself off before the assassination case, Akaho still instinctively felt that it had something to do with Yugito.... Though he couldn't tell, Yugito had helped someone else to Getting his own great noble killed could be of any benefit.

"No, let's go take a look!"

The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, Akaho eventually couldn't hold back the curiosity and uneasiness in his heart and decided to take action.

Kumo's side similarly felt that something was wrong, but seeing that Akaho and his party were preparing to move away from the group, a conservative elder immediately stepped forward.

"Akaho-sama, I can understand your feelings, but the current situation is unclear..."

"It's because I trusted you guys too much that I got things into this mess! In any other country, where would such a low-level blunder occur! Do you have to make it like Land of Water, where even the Daimyo was killed, for you guys to be happy!"

This was really unreasonable, but the Elder also knew that this was not the time to be reasonable.

Just like arguing with his girlfriend, there were times when right and wrong didn't matter, what mattered instead was the position.

So he didn't argue with Akaho, and simply proposed.

"What you said! But for the sake of safety, let me travel with you! As for the others, they will continue to wait for orders here!"

This was indeed the best option at the moment, Akaho didn't like Kumo, and where did Kumo like Akaho.

Since the two looked at each other, it would be better for each to go their own way.

Although we all know that the situation is unknown but if we split up our troops...

Akaho didn't say anything, and directly brought his subordinates, as well as a few Kumo elders to move together.

They were not too far from the dojo, and after a while of marching, they finally found it.

But before they could rejoice, they discovered Yugito in front of the dojo, as well as... Makoto and Orochimaru!

It was normal to find Yugito, but what was wrong with the latter two?

Akaho remembered clearly that Makoto was still in Konoha when they left.

How come he's in the Land of Lightning now?

And Orochimaru that is even more... this is the Akatsuki organization members!

Akaho couldn't figure out what was going on with the three for a while, but his intuition was telling him that at this point he was probably only one step away from that desired answer...

"Can you explain what's going on right now, ladies?"

Yugito blushed strangely, but instead of answering directly, he looked at Makoto.

Makoto raised his hand.

"Loyalty, that's a really good thing that many people, including me, would like to have-especially this true loyalty in front of us."

"But the problem is that it stands in the way of the great power of the times... When what loyalty guards, is no longer justice, what should we do?"

"Do we pity this loyalty, or do we send them, along with their masters, to hell?"
