Chapter 138 Likes to Pretend? Your Underwear Has Been Exposed
In Amegakure, the Fourth Shinobi World War was drawing to a close, and peace seemed imminent. However, this small village was far from tranquil.
Hanzo the Salamander has become utterly corrupt and degenerate, and has begun to exploit and oppress all levels of the village.
Some upper-middle-class people are alright, since after they have been exploited, they can continue to exploit those below them.
Ultimately, all the losses fell on the shoulders of ordinary people at the bottom of society.
As a result, Amegakure, which was originally a prosperous ninja village that relied on trade routes, began to decline, and the lower-level ninjas and the general public were full of complaints.
Meanwhile, the high-ranking officials, led by Hanzo the Salamander, turned a deaf ear to everything that was happening in Amegakure, pretending not to see it, and only cared about enjoying their own lives.
In this environment, the Akatsuki organization, led by Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, rose to prominence and rapidly developed, taking it upon itself to help ordinary people.
It brought together a large number of like-minded people who, like them, loved Amegakure and this country.
In order to support such a growing organization, Yahiko and his two companions put to full use the skills they learned from Tetsuya.
At Tetsuya's suggestion, all the business that Hashirama of the Chiba Trading Company had left behind after abandoning the trade route to the Land of Rain was taken over by the Akatsuki organization.
Thanks to the wealth generated by their business dealings, the Akatsuki organization has grown even better than in the original timeline.
After all, the Akatsuki organization in the original timeline consisted of ordinary people, but with money, they were able to arm their own combat units and even train ninjas.
However, this also meant that the Akatsuki organization was noticed by Hanzo of the Salamander earlier than expected.
Akatsuki Organization, Akatsuki Yorozuya.
"Yahiko, Nagato, the teacher has sent a letter."
The two people who were dealing with their business looked up with some confusion.
"Did the teacher write to us? Is there something they need us to do?"
"Which teacher? Is it Izuna-sensei or Tetsuya-sensei?"
Xiao Nan explained.
"When that guy who claimed to be Uchiha Madara appeared, I wrote a letter and sent it to the Chiba Trading Company branch using an origami shikigami, asking them to pass it on to the teacher."
Hearing what Xiao Nan said, the two of them realized what was going on.
Yahiko shook his head and said.
"It can't be that bad. He's just a con artist pretending to be a shaman. Is it really necessary to tell the teacher about something like this?"
"I think it's necessary to inform Izuna-sensei. After all, Uchiha Madara is Izuna-sensei's older brother. Now that someone dares to impersonate Uchiha Madara, we, as his disciples, should inform him."
"So, which teacher wrote to Xiao Nan?"
Under their watchful eyes, Xiao Nan took out two letters.
“I sent a letter to both teachers. After all, they are both our teachers, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to write to either of them individually, so I simply sent a letter to both of them.”
After thinking about it, the two realized that it seemed to make sense.
"Quickly see what the two teachers said."
The three of them huddled together and opened Izuna's letter first.
Izuna's handwriting was very neat. He first inquired about the three of them's current life, whether they were still diligently training, and whether they had encountered any difficulties in life. He told them that if they encountered any problems that they could not solve and needed military support, they could come to him directly. If they needed financial support, he told them to go directly to the Chiba Merchant Guild to get the money and mention Tetsuya's name when they went. That's what he did when he was out and about without money.
Finally, regarding the one-eyed Uchiha who impersonated Madara Uchiha, Izuna's attitude was simple: fight him.
What kind of thing is this? How dare it impersonate his most respected older brother, and it's a one-eyed monster at that! If we run into it again, we shouldn't hold back. The three of us should just gang up on it and beat it up.
"Uh, as expected of Izuna-sensei, his killing intent is really strong."
The letter said that if they encountered that fake Uchiha Madara again, the three of them should team up and beat him up.
“I can understand. After all, if you and Konan were to encounter some accident and leave, and then some guy came out and said that he was you, I would probably react the same way as Izuna-sensei.”
"Hey, hey, hey, don't say such unlucky things, okay? Xiao Nan and I are doing just fine, aren't we?"
"It's just a metaphor, nothing more."
"Alright, you two, that's enough. Now, go read the next letter."
At Konan's prompting, Nagato put down Izuna's letter and opened Tetsuya's letter.
The three of them were stunned when they saw Tetsuya's letter.
The letter clearly revealed the background and identity of the so-called Uchiha Madara, down to the color of his underwear.
'Uchiha Obito, a Konoha native, thirteen years old, with a single Sharingan. His Mangekyou Sharingan ability is Kamui, which makes his body intangible when activated, allowing any attack to pass through him. At the same time, he is unable to attack while intangible.'
The thing wrapped around his body is called White Zetsu, which allows him to use a low-powered version of Wood Release.
The half-black, half-white guy following me was amazing; he was skilled in stealth and intelligence gathering, and could use a simplified version of Wood Release.
The black part is called Black Zetsu, and the white part is called White Zetsu. Black Zetsu dominates the main consciousness.
At the same time, Black Zetsu was the mastermind behind Obito Uchiha's manipulation...
Tetsuya wrote down all of Obito Uchiha's experiences and his goals on a letter, but when it came to Madara Uchiha, Tetsuya shifted all the blame to Black Zetsu.
As everyone knows, most of the blame in the ninja world can be shifted to Danzo. If Danzo can't bear the blame, then it can be shifted to Black Zetsu. If Black Zetsu can't bear the blame either, then it can be shifted to Isshiki Otsutsuki.
If something goes wrong, it's always right to pin the blame on them.
Finally, Tetsuya gave them a piece of advice.
If this guy comes to you, you can use him, but you must never actually believe his lies.
After reading the letter, both Yahiko and Nagato had complicated expressions.
Xiao Nan looked at the two of them and asked.
"What kind of reaction is this, you two?"
Yahiko said with considerable emotion.
"Indeed, everyone is in different kinds of suffering. Obito Uchiha was only thirteen years old, but his experience was so bumpy and painful."
Indeed, the world needs someone to change it.
Nagato nodded and said.
"It was all caused by the arrogance and greed of those great powers. If they hadn't started the war, none of this would have happened."
All suffering comes from those arrogant and greedy people.
They acted on impulse, making decisions based on their own desires, while it was the most despicable among them who paid the price with their blood and lives.
Yahiko and Nagato exchanged a glance and said in unison.
"This world must change. Those arrogant fools must feel the pain of ordinary people."*2
"I said the two of you are about the same."
Xiao Nan's words brought the two of them back to reality.
"Making those arrogant leaders of great powers feel pain is still too far away for us. The problem we need to face right now is here, in Amegakure."
