Obito looked at the crowd present.
There was a bit of solemnity in everyone's eyes. Capturing the Nine-Tails would not be easy at all.
Black Zetsu pondered slightly, he was thinking whether to call Uchiha Madara out.
But right at that moment...
"Don't worry." Obito pondered for a moment, then said softly: "We don't need to confront Natsuo, there are other ways to realize our dreams..."
Obito paused and said: "Although we have not captured the Two-Tails, the Demonic Statue still contains its chakra."
"What I'm looking for is someone who is not a Jinchuriki but has the Nine-Tails Chakra!"
When everyone heard the words, their eyes lit up, and they subconsciously asked: "Ginkaku and Kinkaku?"
These two people were famous for possessing the Nine-Tails chakra. Of course, they're already dead. But similar people could exist...
They would surely be difficult to find, but still easier than facing Natsuo directly!
"Yes, exactly like them." Obito smiled slightly.
In fact, it was Natsuo who reminded him. The Ten-Tails did not need to gather all the Tailed Beasts to activate. They only needed the majority, and if any Tailed Beasts were missing, they could compensate with part of their chakra...
Black Zetsu also became excited.
Although this Ten-Tails would not be on the same level as the Ten-Tails with all the Tailed Beasts gathered together, it is still possible to achieve his goals!
"Leave this matter to me!" Black Zetsu said without hesitation. "I vaguely remember hearing similar information before, it seems that in the Fire Temple there is someone who has the Nine Tails chakra..."
...
Akatsuki quickly started to move.
The person with the Nine Tails chakra was called 'Sora'.
During the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack, part of his Chakra was spread throughout the village. Sora's father, Kazuma, collected all the Chakra, and sealed it in Sora's body. Turning him into a pseudo Jinchuriki.
Incidentally, Kazuma, Sora's father and one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, implanted the Nine-Tails chakra into his son primarily with the intention of using the power of the Nine-Tails to destroy Konoha.
When Akatsuki attacked the Fire Temple, he also intervened to stop Akatsuki's actions.
Then, along with the Fire Temple, they were easily bombarded by Deidara, and the plan to destroy Konoha was ruined before it began.
Obito captured Sora, and the news that the Temple of Fire was attacked soon spread to Konoha.
...
At the same time, in a calm manner, Natsuo approached Ichiraku Ramen. At this moment, in order not to attract attention, Natsuo had transformed into an ordinary villager.
"Owner, a bowl of ramen, please." Natsuo said cleverly as he placed his order and sat down in front of the counter.
"Here's your ramen."
"Itadakimasu." Natsuo ate the ramen but didn't look away from the owner, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Ayame couldn't hold back her laughter and said, "This customer really loves ramen. It seems like he sees dad as a treasure."
Natsuo nodded: "Yes, Mr. Teuchi's ramen is simply delicious. How about opening a branch? I have connections with the person in charge of the food industry of the Uchiha clan and I can guarantee you that it will definitely be very successful."
Ayame was surprised: "Really?"
It should be taken into account that although the gastronomic industry of the Uchiha clan is not as famous as the rest of its industries, it is still very well known in the shinobi world, its restaurants have a large flow of people.
Natsuo gave her a smile and assured her: "Of course, how about you consider it?"
Teuchi intervened: "Thank you for your kindness, but it took us several years to establish ourselves and now our business is thriving. Establishing a branch is not necessary."
Ayame excitedly said: "Dad, why don't we try it?"
"Ayame, you shouldn't be too ambitious. Go check on the broth." After intentionally distracting Ayame, Teuchi said to Natsuo with resignation: "Sir, Ayame is just an innocent girl and doesn't know many things, I don't think it's right..."
Natsuo smiled. "Oh really?"
"If it weren't for the memories I extracted from Isshiki and Urashiki's souls, along with the energy you released when Sasuke and Boruto were about to return to their timeline."
"How would I have known that part of the will of the Universe would have acquired consciousness."
"And then he would become the owner of a ramen shop, supervising Asura and Indra's growth constantly. Plus he would have a daughter."
Now Natsuo understood why Konoha was the protagonist village. Although he did not have any exaggerated advantages, the fact that the will of the universe was present meant that the world would always be in his favor.
Otherwise, Konoha wouldn't be so prosperous.
Considering that, Natsuo wanted Ayame and Teuchi to be closer to the Uchiha clan.
Teuchi stopped pretending. "Put aside your thoughts about Ayame, she is just the daughter of my incarnation and does not possess any powers. Besides, haven't I already given you enough help?"
"Do you really think that you would have done so well if I hadn't subtly influenced things to go in your favor. Unfortunately, compared to you, I trust the reincarnation of Indra and Asura more."
"For some reason the destiny of the universe has centered on this planet. And they inherited the destiny of the Six Paths which is to protect the universe and eliminate threats against it."
After having transmigrated to this world, Natsuo sometimes believed that he had the protagonist's halo, now he understood that it was the will of the universe showing him its favor. And although Teuchi could influence to a certain extent, he could not change 'protagonists' at will.
At least Natsuo was sure that until Kaguya appears, both Naruto and Sasuke would still be the 'protagonists'. After that the 'protagonist' was supposed to be Boruto, but with all the changes he's made, now that's impossible. So it is very likely that at that moment he will inherit the destiny of the universe or one of his children will.
"I think you trust Asura and Indra too much. Under my intervention, I have taken care of the 'cancer' that is the members of the Otsutsuki clan. And you must be aware of the potential of many of my children."
"Betting everything on two people does not seem like the best choice to me. Even more so considering that the Otsutsuki clan wants to free itself from the limitations of this universe."
Teuchi expressed his regret. "What you say is true. That's why I intervened and started helping you. I can sense that, at most, in five or six years, the collision of universes will begin. And in about 20 years or so, the total war will begin... "
"You may be very powerful. But surpassing the Otsutsuki clan in five years is too difficult."
"I have the responsibility for the destiny of the entire Universe, so for me, Asura and Indra's chances are greater. However, if you manage to inherit their destiny, I will also support you with all my power."
Natsuo didn't argue anymore. It was natural that Teuchi, as part of the will of the universe, believed much more in the destiny of the 'protagonist'.
"How about I confront the Otsutsuki clan and release the God Trees to continue promoting this Universe? I won't pressure you, but when the time comes, you will know who the true savior of the Universe is."
Teuchi looked at Natsuo in surprise, slightly opened his eyes, which were closed all the time, and nodded. "If you manage to do that, I will support you regardless of everything else."
After a moment of hesitation, Teuchi waved his hand, and the Karasuki appeared in his hand. "Due to the use of the Karasuki in this timeline, the space-time barriers have been weakened. This allowed me to find the Karasuki of this timeline."
"You should know that when Shibai stole part of the Origin of the Universe to evolve into a superior being, the Otsutsuki clan also took part of the Origin energy and created several artifacts. The Karasuki is one of them."
"I will use the Origin energy present in the Karasuki to repair part of the Origin source of the Universe and try to divert part of destiny towards you and your descendants. This is the maximum help I can give you."
Natsuo was happy. "This is enough, I will take care of the problem of the Otsutsuki clan and the God Trees on my own." He got a lot of benefits this time and didn't bother Teuchi anymore.
Teuchi also felt relieved. He also wanted to support Natsuo, but he didn't have the courage to defy fate. For him, Natsuo was more of a secondary investment, and he still trusted the reincarnation of Asura and Indra more.
...
'According to the news, it seems that Obito's plan is coming to an end.' Natsuo pondered as he left Ichiraku Ramen. 'Therefore, Kaguya is about to enter the scene...'
"That's pretty good." Natsuo smiled.
Maintaining his smile, Natsuo walked deeper into the Uchiha clan residence.
"You're here again." Yugito's eyes burned with anger, and she clenched her teeth as if she wanted to bite the person in front of her.
"Yeah, I'm here again." Natsuo answered. "Did you miss me?"
"Leave away!" Yugito was still as temperamental as ever.
Or even more than before. The main reason was...
Natsuo lightly tapped Samui's shoulder, who shivered, and her body began to change rapidly. Natsuo gently caressed Samui's cheek and then pressed her down lightly.
Yugito simply continued to stare at Natsuo with anger in her eyes.
Natsuo on the other hand...
Of course he would continue with his activities.
'But your resistance won't last long...' Natsuo looked askance at Yugito while devastating Samui.
