Hidden Stone Village.
"Uzumaki Nagato is actually part of Akatsuki!"
"It seems this Akatsuki is even more troublesome than I imagined."
"If he cannot be used by us… then he must be eliminated as soon as possible!"
"Have we discovered the location of their base?"
Ōnoki turned to look at Kurotsuchi.
"Grandpa, we still haven't pinpointed Akatsuki's base."
"But! We did gather a lead."
Ōnoki: "Stop dragging it out—speak!"
Kurotsuchi: "According to our scouts, many people in the Rain Country have seen mysterious individuals wearing black cloaks with red clouds and straw hats with hanging bells."
Hidden Mist Village
"So he's from Akatsuki…"
"It seems my dream of seducing Uzumaki Nagato is going to fall through."
Mei Terumi looked disappointed, while Chōjūrō beside her looked relieved.
Hidden Cloud Village
Fourth Raikage A: "Akatsuki! So he belongs to Akatsuki—recruiting him is impossible."
"Then, Raikage-sama, should we…"
Mabui made a throat-slitting gesture.
Raikage A: "No need to rush! Someone else is far more anxious than us—Konoha."
Konoha
Every shinobi and villager wore expressions of shock and disbelief.
"You've got to be kidding! Someone actually dares to invade Konoha?"
"We have the strongest Hokage in history—Lord Third! We're the strongest village!"
"Relax! With Lord Third here, everything will be fine!"
Chūnin Exam Arena
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned deeply.
Another future vision.
And this time, it showed Akatsuki invading Konoha.
If he hadn't been killed by Orochimaru in that future—
Akatsuki would never dare invade Konoha.
Indeed!
Konoha could lose anyone—except him, the greatest contributor in its history!
Now he had gained powerful rewards from the rankings.
And for some unknown reason, he even obtained a Transformation Pill that increased all abilities tenfold.
With such strength—
If he fought Orochimaru again, the result definitely wouldn't be the same as in the vision.
He would not die.
The future Konoha still needed him to protect it.
Soon, he would become the true strongest Hokage of all time.
This mysterious scroll… truly wonderful!
Orochimaru looked excitedly at the image.
Akatsuki will attack Konoha in the future?
How delightfully insane… exactly what I expect from them.
Naruto, who had been panicking about feminizing, was now absorbed in the scene.
"When I grow up, I become super strong! They'll definitely show me protecting the village later!"
Kiba: "Finally, the grown-up me will make an appearance!"
Chōji and the others were equally thrilled, eager to see what their future selves looked like and how strong they would become.
Sasuke also watched the screen, though with complicated feelings.
From previous footage, he knew he had defected from the village.
Which meant—
He might not appear with everyone else defending Konoha this time.
Root Base
"Akatsuki will invade Konoha?"
"This is a future vision… so who's Hokage at that time?"
"The Third must be dead. Is it that brat Tsunade?"
"Or… could I be Hokage?"
"That would be ideal. After people witness my heroic figure defending the village…"
"Perhaps after the Third dies, they won't choose Tsunade—they'll choose me."
Imagining this, Danzō smiled broadly—more excited than anyone for the upcoming footage.
Rain Country – Akatsuki Base
Deidara: "Leader! We invade Konoha? Hm!"
"Wow! Just thinking about it gets me excited! You must bring me, hm!"
Tobi: "Deidara-senpai, you can't~ Because at that time, senpai, you're already dead."
Deidara froze.
Right… he was killed by Sasuke before that.
Kakuzu: "This is a future scene. Hard to say when it will happen. But I'm looking forward to it."
Kisame: "Invading Konoha, huh? Itachi, you must be thrilled."
Konan: "Nagato, will we really directly invade Konoha?"
Sasori: "I wonder if I'll still be alive at that time…"
Tobi: "Sasori-senpai, you're definitely dead!"
Hidan: "Why?"
Tobi looked excited: "Isn't it obvious? From the earlier footage, Sasori died at Konoha's hands!"
"And if we invade Konoha with the Leader, Konoha will be destroyed."
"So this scene must happen after your death!"
Kakuzu nodded. "I agree with Tobi's analysis. But Tobi—you forgot something. By then, you are also dead."
Tobi: "Ah! Right…"
"Don't worry, Deidara-senpai! In the future I'll definitely stop you from blowing yourself up!"
"Get lost! Or I'll blow you up right now! Hm!"
Nagato remained silent, face blank.
From the footage, it was clearly him personally attacking Konoha.
What on earth would happen in the future…
That he would need to take action himself?
Pure Land
[Senju Hashirama: Nani!? Someone dares invade Konoha? Madara! Aren't you going to do something!?]
[Uchiha Madara: Hashiramaa… why would I care? Seeing someone attack Konoha makes me happy.]
[Senju Tobirama: Akatsuki, huh? Just wait for me!]
[Uchiha Izuna: I also want Konoha destroyed—but doing it myself would feel better!]
The image continued.
