"Which bastard guided such a thousand-year bloodbath and created such a thing?"
Urashiki had realized the seriousness of the problem and couldn't help but curse.
"And it all benefited that lunatic Takeshiki in the end. How unlucky!"
"That's why I said our interests align." Isshiki heard the complaint but didn't retort. He just looked at Urashiki and then walked over.
"Now, can we form a cooperation?"
"Mmm."
Urashiki nodded, but when he saw Isshiki suddenly walk over, he instinctively took a step back.
"..."
"..."
That single step imdiately plunged both of them into silence.
Urashiki was a bit embarrassed, but his eyes were still wary.
Isshiki was expressionless and said nothing. But at that mont, his fists were truly rock-hard.
On the streets of Konoha.
"Your parents are the Fourth Hokage and his wife?"
Sasuke stared in disbelief at Naruto, who had a black eye, then looked at Takemi, who was idling nearby.
"Senpai, is this true?!"
"Ah, you didn't know?"
Takemi leaned against a tree, looking at Sasuke with so surprise.
"Has no one ever told you?"
"No."
Sasuke shook his head blankly, then glared fiercely at Naruto.
"You bastard, why have you never said anything?!"
"You never asked."
Naruto rubbed his black eye, then spoke with annoyance, "Besides, Grandpa Third Hokage and Pervy Sage told not to talk about it, and you know there's a stinky fox inside , so..."
Although his parents' Chakra inside him had been awakened long ago, this was indeed Konoha's top secret. Even if he hadn't completely hidden it from Sasuke at tis, he wouldn't have explained it so clearly.
But now that Minato and Kushina had been awakened, Naruto couldn't claim ignorance, so he could only make up an excuse.
"Alright, you know Naruto's situation. So things he needs to keep secret."
Takemi naturally saw Naruto's awkwardness, so he simply gave a little help, and Sasuke nodded obediently.
"I understand, senpai. It's just a bit hard to believe."
"Believe what?"
"The Fourth Hokage was so amazing, so how could Naruto..."
"Hey! Bastard, what do you an?"
"The aning is clear. Besides your hair color, what else do you resemble?"
"You hateful guy..."
"The Hokage's son is actually a dead last idiot. It's unbelievable."
Sasuke's few casual words imdiately angered Naruto, and then the two began bickering again.
This made Takemi, who was watching from the side, laugh. They truly were brothers who fought until their Chakra reincarnated, a few words were enough to make them quarrel.
'But this is pretty good too.'
Takemi thought casually, hands clasped behind his head. He had already resolved the Edo Tensei problem and hadn't paid much attention to it afterward.
After all, he himself had gone to the moon to solve the most troubleso issue, but now it seed everything was going very well.
'Kakashi and his father Sakumo have reconciled. Rin is still a bit unaccustod, I heard, and Minato and Kushina are the simplest...'
The Chakra left by this couple inside Naruto allowed them to seamlessly integrate into tye current world. This saved everyone a lot of trouble, especially for Naruto.
This way, there would be no sense of disconnection, and the emotions of those three years wouldn't just vanish.
Of course, it also saved Takemi a lot of trouble.
'The more people like this, the better I can slack off...'
Takemi had long decided that he wanted to be Konoha's 'Retired Emperor,' so naturally, he couldn't lack capable ministers and fierce generals under him.
Otherwise, if no one helped him with tasks, wouldn't he beco the 'Third Hokage'?
The more capable people there were, the more comfortable he would be.
However, he soon seed to rember sothing and turned to look at the two still 'arguing.'
"You two, stop for a mont. Sasuke, how are your eyes now?"
"Idiot."
Sasuke glared fiercely at Naruto, then turned his head and imdiately beca respectful.
"Tsunade-sama said that a simple eye transplant can begin at any ti, but the specific procedure still needs to be explored, so..."
"I see, I understand."
Takemi could only nod upon hearing this. He still had a mission involving Sasuke. The eye problem was indeed a bit troubleso, as there was too little information.
However, he seed to be able to consult soone's opinion now.
"It seems you have indeed integrated into this world and are living with these people."
Just as he was pondering, a cold voice appeared in his mind, and that person was Kaguya.
Takemi had said he could bring out a portion of her Chakra so she could properly see this world.
Although she still didn't quite trust Takemi, perhaps it was because she had been sealed for too long, or perhaps she wanted to verify what Takemi had said. Ultimately, she made the decision—to co out and see.
At this ti, her Chakra was hidden within Takemi's body, similar to Naruto's situation back then.
However, all of this was completely under Takemi's control.
"What's wrong with that? Humans are social animals and need various emotional attachnts."
Takemi heard the voice in his mind and replied with a smile.
"Never mind that. By the way, I have sothing to ask you. Do you know how to deal with this kid's eyes?"
"Only half the power, and you still need to ask how to deal with it?"
Kaguya remained cold. Her gaze followed Takemi's line of sight, staring intently at Sasuke and Naruto.
After a long mont, she spoke coldly, "I wondered why it felt familiar. So that's how it is."
"Hmm?"
Takemi was stunned for a mont, but before he could speak, Kaguya's cold voice rang out.
"It seems I still underestimated Hagoromo's cruelty."
"?"
"I originally thought that after Indra and Asura went to the Pure Land, only their descendants continued to fight."
"..."
"But I didn't expect him to deny his two sons even the chance to rest in the Pure Land, instead making them constantly reincarnate to fight."
"..."
"Hagoromo, you are truly ruthless!"
"Hiss."
