"Hiruzen?"
Danzō Shimura was surprised that Hiruzen Sarutobi would return so quickly, and most importantly, Naruto Uzumaki was with him.
Moreover, judging from Naruto's appearance, he seemed to have completely stabilized.
It all started after Black Zetsu controlled Naruto Uzumaki and led him out of the Uchiha clan.
...
After escaping the Uchiha clan, Naruto Uzumaki, under Black Zetsu's control, headed straight for the Naka River Shrine.
And finally they found the stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths.
"Naruto, this is the stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths that can save the world."
Black Zetsu had Kurama retract some of its chakra, revealing Naruto's head, and spoke to him.
"A stone tablet?" Naruto stared blankly at the stone tablet in front of him. "Why is it blank? Didn't you say it contained some kind of Eye of the Moon Plan?"
"That's true. However, to prevent bad people from learning about this method, the Sage of Six Paths used a special power to carve words on it."
"Only those with the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, or those who possess the chakra of Indra or Asura, can decipher the text above. Now I will lend you my chakra to help you see the truth of this world."
As Black Zetsu spoke, it enveloped Naruto's head once more, and through Black Zetsu's gaze, Naruto finally managed to decipher the stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths.
They also learned the detailed plan for Infinite Tsukuyomi, as well as the key factors that were essential to it.
First, you need to have the Rinnegan. Second, you need to use the Rinnegan to summon the Gedō Mazō.
Next, in the order of the first to the ninth tailed beast, all the tailed beasts were sealed into the Gedō Mazō.
He then absorbed the Ten-Tails, becoming its jinchūriki, and used the moon to unleash a massive genjutsu covering the entire ninja world: Infinite Tsukuyomi!
At this point, everyone will enter the infinite dream, where they can obtain everything they desire. There will be no more strife or pain, only happiness and joy.
"But isn't all of this just an illusion?" After watching, Naruto Uzumaki muttered to himself, "Even if I succeed, what's the point?"
"Naruto, you're wrong," Black Zetsu immediately said upon seeing that Naruto was still hesitating. "If you are born only to suffer, what is the point of living? The Infinite Dream may be false, but at least it is happiness."
"When the real world can no longer contain you, the illusion of dreams becomes the last pure land in people's hearts. You should understand this more deeply than I do."
"The Sage of Six Paths understood this point, which is why he left this method behind, hoping that future generations could replace him and bring eternal happiness and joy to all beings in the ninja world."
Black Zetsu, who single-handedly created ninja history, believes he is no less capable than Naruto Uzumaki in debate.
Moreover, his brainwashing abilities have improved by leaps and bounds over the years he has been in contact with Hiruzen Sarutobi and others.
Black Zetsu's words made Naruto bite his lip tightly.
Happiness and joy are things he longs for, but he can never obtain them in reality.
He always believed that Danzō Shimura, who was truly sincere towards him, was merely approaching him with ulterior motives, wearing a cloak of hypocrisy.
What's the point of having such a painful real world?
I want to create a world where Grandpa Danzō is genuinely good to me!
"Asura, I've made up my mind."
"I want all the ninja world to be bathed in the light of the Infinite Tsukuyomi."
"So that everyone can find happiness and joy."
"I will be the executor of the Eye of the Moon Plan, bringing eternal light to the ninja world," Naruto Uzumaki finally said, having made up his mind as he clasped his hands tightly.
"Good, as expected of the reincarnation of Asura. Naruto, Kurama and I will help you together," Black Zetsu cheered loudly.
It had finally persuaded him and gotten him to voluntarily join the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Seven years!
Do you know how I've gotten through these past seven years?
"Nine-Tails..." Naruto's expression froze when the Nine-Tails was mentioned. It seemed that the Eye of the Moon Plan was to devour all the tailed beasts.
But after spending some time with him, he felt that the fox was not bad, and he was a little reluctant to actually swallow it.
"Don't worry, this matter can be handled differently; we don't necessarily have to sacrifice that stupid fox."
Black Zetsu knew what he was thinking and immediately reassured him.
Hearing this, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief.
"Quick, the Nine-Tails is inside, we can't let him escape."
"Why don't we just kill him? This constant rampage isn't a solution!"
"Lord Third Generation, please give the order. This time, we really cannot let this fox demon live."
Outside, the Konoha ninjas had already caught up with them, and some noise reached Naruto's ears.
These people's words strengthened Naruto's belief that he would use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to bring peace to the world.
"Naruto, you can't leave Konoha yet. You haven't fully mastered the Nine-Tails' power. Once you've truly become the perfect Jinchuriki, the Eye of the Moon Plan can officially begin."
"For now, pretend you can control the Nine-Tails' power, play along with the people of Konoha, and gain the Third Hokage's trust. We'll deal with the rest later."
As Black Zetsu spoke, it devised a plan for Naruto Uzumaki to gain Hiruzen Sarutobi's trust.
Although Naruto Uzumaki was unwilling to associate with the people of Konoha any longer, for the sake of the Eye of the Moon Plan and the future of all ninjas, he decided to endure the humiliation and make sacrifices for a while longer.
"ah--"
Upon realizing this, Naruto let out a scream as the Nine-Tails' chakra slowly receded from his body.
The Konoha ninjas who entered this place all had a look of doubt in their eyes upon seeing this situation.
Only Hiruzen Sarutobi's cloudy old eyes revealed a hint of excitement.
Naruto Uzumaki was forcibly suppressing the power of the Nine-Tails through his willpower.
Could it be that Konoha was about to produce a perfect Jinchuriki?
The thought of this made his body tremble involuntarily.
The perfect Jinchūriki, or the perfect Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, if it is truly as I think, the losses caused by the Uchiha clan massacre can be completely ignored.
"Why?"
"Why do you all hate me? Why don't you like me? What did I do wrong?"
As Naruto Uzumaki desperately suppressed the Nine-Tails' chakra, he kept muttering to himself.
The grief was so profound that even Hiruzen Sarutobi was deeply moved.
"Naruto, please don't think like that. People don't hate you, they hate the Nine-Tails inside you."
"As long as you can control the power of that demon fox and stop it from going berserk, I assure you in the name of the Third Hokage that no one will discriminate against you again."
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the other ninjas a look, signaling them to step back, while he himself tentatively approached Naruto Uzumaki and slowly began to speak.
"Grandpa Hokage, are you telling the truth?"
