Chapter 187: God

"None of my business."

Satoru just shrugged his shoulders and said in a nonchalant tone, "Maybe I will take out all the people I care about when such a disaster strikes, or I will kill the people who make trouble directly if I find it troublesome."

His tone was as simple as mentioning about crushing an ant to death.

In Obito's eyes, a strange light suddenly rose.

He unconsciously took a step forward, looked at Satoru and asked, "Why? Someone like you who possesses such strength and stands in the good camp is very suitable to become a great hero who saves the world, and you can indeed do this, but why do you give excuses against the act of saving the world so selfishly?"

His tone became more and more agitated, as if Satoru had just unknowingly profaned his faith.

Satoru suddenly laughed, and he also found a clue that could crush the anger leaked from this humanoid monster.

"Obito, do you want to become a god?"

Obito's throat seemed to be strangled suddenly, he couldn't utter a single syllable, and his eyes widened like a person who was about to suffocate, looking at Satoru.

"I guessed right, you want to be a god, you think that everyone living in this world is guilty, and you want to extinguish the sins in this world, so you used that cloak you bought randomly as your first battle robe and gathered like-minded people together, and later came to be known as Akatsuki in the world."

"The word Akatsuki is very special. It has the character "red" and "moon" in it but means dawn. One side is the sun and the other side is the moon. It is like the cycle of day and night, life and death, one which gives life to all things and also can subvert them in an instant. You wanted to be such an existence, but later, when there were more people in the organization, it was inevitable that they would have different ideas. They regarded the organization as their last spiritual sanctuary, maintained their own beliefs, and worked hard towards the ultimate goal."

"But you broke away from that belief without authorization at this time, and devalued the place they thought was very important, so they were angry. I was wondering why Nagato and Konan would appear on Konoha but there was not much damage, on the surface it seemed that they were looking for trouble, but if they really wanted to do something, the innocent people may have already paid a heavy price. So, there is only one possibility." 

Satoru was like a machine gun, after pushing Obito into a dead-end, with an almost cruel smile on his face, he said, "Nagato and Konan have turned against you, haven't they?"

Obito's body was shaking uncontrollably.

His expression was not the kind of anger of being exposed, and he also didn't have the panic of being pushed into a corner, instead he looked like a traveler who had been searching for the legendary treasure in the desert for many years, and after seeing his ultimate goal, he had the expression of dying with joy.

Satoru took a step back subconsciously, not because he was afraid, but because he felt a little disgusted.

If it was a beautiful woman who looked at him with eyes full of fire, then he would be very happy.

But if it's Obito... forget it.

"Do you think I meet your standard for god?" In order to retaliate against the other party for disgusting him, Satoru took the initiative to open his mouth and decided to shatter his beautiful illusions, "But I am not, god should be impartial and selfless, and will not judge any crimes with partiality, but I will. Whoever I have a relationship with, I will do my best to protect that person, even if our current position takes a complete turn and it's like you are a ninja who protects Konoha, and I am a rebel who has defected for many years, I will do my best to protect the people I care about, even if I have to burn Konoha like Yamada destroyed an ant nest. I can assure you that I can do it."

Before Obito recovered from the aftertaste of excitement, Satoru's words threw him from the sky to the ground, stepped on him mercilessly, and spat a few times.

However, it was this kind of unprincipled favoritism that made him feel even more ecstatic after recovering from the shock.

The way of the god is the way of heaven.

God can be selfish because god defines the camp which is righteous.

Akatsuki could also define themselves as the side of justice, because they wanted to wash away the evils in this world, but their way of doing things was different from what others could understand.

But wouldn't it be nice to have more than one way to reach the same place.

People are mortal, all the people have gone from a fertilized egg to the dirt in earth, but in just a few decades, which of those were good and which were evil have long been unclear.

The world needed a judge.

A judge who could create his own rules!

Obito couldn't do it, but Satoru could.

Obito suddenly took off his robe, revealing his inner-clothes.

Only then did Satoru saw that his body was covered with detonating symbols, and according to Satoru, these should belong to Konan.

"...They found me, I don't know why they didn't do anything, but Konan just put a stack of paper bombs on my side and left, I didn't want to touch these things, heck, I even wanted to blow up Mizukage's office with these things, but now I want to use these to die with you."

Satoru couldn't hide his disgust anymore, and frowned fiercely.

'What's wrong with this thing?'

'The thoughts in his head are so paranoid, he opens his mouth and its nonsense that comes out, and if I don't agree, he now wants to die with me.'

'The hell?'

'Did he actually fell in love with Hades?' 

'Yamada's business can come later, first let's see what his deal is.'

"Don't you think that you are a bit disgusting? There are so many beauties in this world that I haven't seen, and you let want me to die? Do you have any morals? We just met and you want me to die with you?!"

Perhaps because of being too disgusted and angry, Satoru inadvertently spoke a little louder, which alarmed the Kirigakure police who were patrolling not far from the foot of the mountain.

"Who is up there? No one is allowed to go there at night. It's dangerous!"

The two people above did not reply, but confronted each other quietly, ignoring the roar of the people below.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them heard the sound of footsteps approaching. The strength of the approaching people was not too high. It should be the security department who yelled a few words from the bottom of the mountain just now.

Obito, already in complete ecstasy, said to Satoru, "I'll deal with it, I will be back soon."

As he spoke, his figure disappeared in a flash.

*Boom*

It was only the next moment that the figures of two people appeared on the road down the mountain more than ten meters away at the same time.

Satoru used a normal kunai to block Obito's way.

He took the lead and tilted his head, a little puzzled.

"Why did you stop me? Is he important to you?"

(T.L Note: I am a little confused. I feel that the latest chapters have deteriorated in quality. Do you guys feel the same or is it just me?)
