Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

It took a while for the knocking on the door to bring her back to her senses.

"Lord Hokage, there's an urgent report from the Wind Country."

"It's a success!"

In the Land of Rice Fields, within Orochimaru's lair.

Looking at the coffin that appeared before him, he licked his lips with immense excitement, while Black Zetsu beside him was also filled with curiosity.

As the coffin door slowly opened, his gaze changed only after he clearly saw who was inside!

"Uchiha Madara... Finally, it's a success!"

Black Zetsu couldn't help but clench his fist at this moment; he had truly waited too long for this.

For three years...

No, these years of cooperation with Uchiha Obito could be said to be his worst years.

It could even be said to be the worst few years in his magnificent yet fruitless millennium!

But now, things seemed to finally be different; the appearance of Uchiha Madara would surely bring change.

"However, how much strength can he currently exert?"

But Black Zetsu was still sober; he calmed his emotions and asked in a low voice.

"Don't blame me for questioning, but as you know, the person we have to face is not simple."

"How much strength he can exert, I actually don't know either."

Orochimaru also slowly recovered; his gaze quietly watched the person inside the coffin.

"Because I also don't know how much strength he had in his lifetime, but isn't this a good time to test it out properly?

However, I think the situation should be better than expected, after all, the materials you provided are excellent enough, and I have also made many improvements in three years.

I believe the problem won't be big, of course, testing it out and understanding his strength well might also be a good choice."

"Is that so?"

Black Zetsu frowned, and after a while, he nodded.

Testing was indeed a good choice, but who to find for the test was another crucial question.

Moreover, the current public opinion environment in the ninja world...

"Speaking of which, the Senju actually being brothers with the Uchiha?"

Orochimaru tilted his head, looking at Black Zetsu with a playful expression.

"This news, what do you think of it?"

"..."

Black Zetsu silently looked at Orochimaru; what he feared truly came to pass!

Who exactly exposed the secret of the Senju and Uchiha, no one knew.

The only thing Black Zetsu could investigate was that this news came from Konoha!

To be honest, if it was just like this, he wouldn't be so worried, but the most important issue was that

The great fluctuation on the moon once was firmly etched in his mind; he was really worried that this might be the work of Konoha?

Otherwise, why did Konoha spread such news after the lunar fluctuation?

Could it be that those guys on the moon were really dealt with by the people of Konoha, and Konoha also found the secrets of that year up there?

Black Zetsu wasn't afraid of exposing himself, because he was hidden well enough, but he was worried about Uchiha Madara's attitude!

This guy and Hashirama Senju were really headaches.

"I have no opinion, after all, I'm just Uchiha Madara's consciousness."

Black Zetsu shook his head; he didn't want to say so much, he could only try to stabilize everything as much as possible now.

After all, as long as the tool Obito revives Uchiha Madara and then has him absorb the Ten-Tails, then his plan will be complete!

"As for the test, perhaps this time he can go play in Sunagakure."

After being silent for a long time, Black Zetsu finally spoke.

"Obito has already sent people to Sunagakure to collect the One-Tail, and Sunagakure is Konoha's ally; I'm not optimistic about their actions this time.

So, we might as well send Uchiha Madara over there, partly for testing and partly for better obtaining the item.

What do you think of this?"

"Sunagakure?"

Orochimaru licked his lips, and after pondering for a moment, he nodded happily.

"This, perhaps it will be a good choice."

Wind Country, sunny and bright.

Although the dry climate made the perceived temperature here very high, and even the light in some places appeared unnaturally distorted under the high temperature.

But whenever a breeze blew, this place was no longer covered by sandstorms that obscured people's vision, and that yellow haze that seemed to devour everything in the desert.

Instead, lush greenery constantly appeared before the eyes, and oases that made people feel refreshed.

The crisp sound of wind chimes echoed in the wind, and two people wearing black robes with red clouds walked leisurely within the Wind Country.

"I really didn't expect the changes in the Wind Country to be so great."

Kakuzu looked around, then adjusted his hat and looked at Sasori beside him with a somewhat amused expression.

"Speaking of which, Sunagakure should be your hometown, right? Now that you're stepping on the road back home, do you have any homesickness?"

"There's nothing worth missing, even this place has become so unrecognizable to me."

A hoarse voice came, and looking over, it was a short figure, also wearing a hat, like a haggard hunchbacked old man.

The first impression this guy gave was ugliness; it seemed impossible to tell that he was Sasori, whose time had been frozen!

"Is that so?"

Kakuzu raised an eyebrow; his beady eyes were full of playfulness.

"Then, why do you have to dress yourself up like this? Walking with you really feels embarrassing."

"Don't you feel like you're talking a bit too much nonsense today?"

Sasori coldly glanced back at Kakuzu; that hoarse voice didn't seem to convey any emotion.

"Also, even if you don't make a sound, I won't think you're mute."

"Ha."

Kakuzu chuckled upon hearing this, but he didn't take it to heart; over the years, he had long understood Sasori's personality.

In three years, the Akatsuki organization had filled the missing members and also reorganized the original teams.

Kakuzu's original teammate, Hidan, died directly at the hands of Shūzawa, and Orochimaru also temporarily stopped going on field missions because he wanted to devote himself to research.

Therefore, Kakuzu and Sasori simply formed a team, while Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki were still a group, with no changes.

As for the other group, both were newcomers, one was Shinno, and the other was Hiruko; it could be said that the current Akatsuki organization had undergone tremendous changes.

"Konoha is really rich; they can actually turn the Wind Country, which is full of sand, into this.

Before, when I performed missions in the Wind Country, it was difficult to find an oasis.

But now, although there are still large areas of desert, oases have already appeared, and the Wind Country has a connection with the Rain Country.

Reliable water resources are constantly being sold over; tsk tsk tsk, have you ever regretted leaving the village?"

"..."

Sasori silently glanced at Kakuzu; he was too lazy to answer this guy's words.

But he had to admit that the current Wind Country was really different from before!

Three years ago, the Wind Country was still a barren land; at that time, Rasa was still around, and Pakura only solved the problem of water resources.

But now, in just three years, it had actually become like this, which made Sasori feel extremely emotional.

But no matter how emotional he was, he didn't want to pay attention to Kakuzu even a bit now; he was too clear about how foul Kakuzu's mouth was!

"Hey, hey, hey, it's too boring not to talk."

Kakuzu continued to speak as he walked.

"Speaking of which, it seems like the Third Kazekage died at your hands, and the Fourth Kazekage also died in front of you; now we're going to capture the One-Tail Jinchuriki.

I'm afraid we'll also have a conflict with the Fifth Kazekage; how much hatred do you have with the Kazekage? Why not change your name to Kazekage Killer?"

"Shut up!"

Sasori was really getting impatient with Kakuzu; he glared fiercely at the guy beside him and said.

"If you want to die, just say it directly; if needed, I can send you on your way!"

"Alright, alright, I won't say it anymore; is it okay if I don't say it?"

Seeing that Sasori's mood was not good, Kakuzu simply waved his hand and smiled, but as they gradually approached the outskirts of Sunagakure, Kakuzu's expression began to become serious.

"By the way, if I remember correctly, the current Fifth Kazekage, Pakura, and Shūzawa Zihara have a relationship that's not ordinary.

And they're also allies; if Shūzawa Zihara is attracted over, have you prepared to deal with it?"

Hearing Kakuzu's words, Sasori couldn't help but pause slightly.

Zihara Shūzawa, this was probably the guy that all of them were most unwilling to mention.

In the past years, they were really taught a lesson by this guy, suffering bloody noses, although they were lucky enough to always be able to run out alive.

But which time wasn't dangerous, and which time didn't they lose half their lives?

"So, we need to act fast."

After pondering for a moment, Sasori said weakly, looking up at the sky, he sighed slightly.

"Although I don't know if the village's current barrier has been changed, I know there's a way to directly enter the village.

It's a pity that if the chess piece I left behind back then hadn't been killed, he would probably be a Jōnin now; with him, we could relax a lot."

After saying this, Sasori didn't pause at all; he continued to walk quickly forward.

And Kakuzu also shrugged his shoulders and followed very simply.

However, his gaze couldn't help but look at the sky, silently muttering in his heart.

"The message has already been passed back; I don't know what my boss will do."

"However, I'm afraid my boss is almost tired of playing; I hope he doesn't cut off my subsidies in the future."

Outside Konoha Village, Kakashi was leading Naruto, Sasuke, and Karin towards Konoha.

"Yosh! We're finally back!"

Seeing the village, Naruto finally shouted excitedly.

"Ichiraku! Ichiraku! I'm coming!"

"Idiot."

Sasuke, who was beside him, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Naruto's unrestrained behavior.

"Can't you be a little more stable? We've only been out for so long; being with you is really embarrassing."

"Tch, you don't understand the beauty of Ichiraku at all!"

Naruto was also unconvinced; he stubbornly glared at Sasuke unhappily.

And Sasuke didn't back down either; he also widened his eyes and stared at Naruto; these two guys didn't have the slightest intention of compromising.

"Please, you two..."

This scene made Kakashi, who was beside them, couldn't help but complain.

In three years, these two had undergone tremendous changes, but it seemed like nothing had changed.

Naruto had now shed some of his childishness, especially during missions, he no longer had the unrestrained behavior of his childhood; he was a steady and reliable ninja.

In these three years, he had been learning with Jiraiya and had also received some guidance from Shūzawa.
