Chapter 235 : Naraku: What about my [Change of Time and Fate]? # (There is a main plot)
Anyway, Naraku was bored at the moment, so he clicked into the forum homepage. As soon as the page loaded, he saw large sections of red, with many hot posts active in their respective areas.
In the plot section, many prominent users were discussing the entire process of the Mount Kikyo Battle and the negative impacts it would have on Konoha.
No one understood the cause and effect better than Naraku, who was a direct participant, so he didn't bother looking at the numerous speculations. Instead, he opened many hot posts that seemed more interesting just from their titles.

"On the Unique Resilience of naraku fans"
1L (OP): Friends, I've already mastered the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt. I'm invulnerable now... Just kidding, I'm actually full of holes. (Crying jpg)
Every time I see The Old Thief torment Naraku, I cry myself, and then I have to go watch Chair Sister and Sister Alkaline Poison's reactions and cry with them again.
My eyes hurt every time, but I still can't help but click on the next video related to Naraku. How can this not be called resilience? Living with a smile.jpg
2L: Did the OP watch Chair Sister and Sister Alkaline Poison's collaborative video from yesterday? Each one is more tragic than the last.
They cheered so excitedly when Naraku cleaved the Tailed Beast Ball, and then cried just as loudly watching KakaNara gaze at the sunset together.
3L: It's hard not to cry. The music The Old Thief chose for the sunset scene was too powerful. To this day, if I just hear the melody, I still get teary-eyed.
4L: Reply to 3L: Me too, it's almost a conditioned reflex.
5L: Those two sisters have quite a lot of popularity points on Bilibili and Douyin, but they don't do anything else, they just watch naruto and torture themselves (laughing and crying.jpg).
6L: Reply to 5L: That's how we naraku fans are (sad).
7L: The funniest thing about Sister Alkaline Poison is that video she filmed while hiding under her covers, defiantly secretly watching naruto on her iPad, and she even showed a bottle of quick-acting heart medicine under her pillow.
Even funnier, she didn't turn off 'people you may know' recommendations and completely exposed herself, hahahahahaha (loudly mocking.jpg).
8L: I remember her mom saw the Douyin video the next day and commented, "You're dead meat"... 9L: That's too absurd hahahahaha
..."Sister Kanai's Traditional Event: Watching Newly Inducted Sisters Cry Until They Pass Out Just Like She Did"
1L (OP): Hello friends, I, who just got into naruto last month, went through countless hardships and found my second victim! Finally, someone to cry with! Hahahahaha!
Wasn't it a holiday a few days ago? So my friend and I stayed home for several days. She usually doesn't watch anime or anything, but she was really bored, so I watched the naka (Naraku/Kakashi cp) storyline with her from beginning to end.
At first, she was too embarrassed to cry in front of me, secretly turning away to wipe her tears with her sleeve, even pretending to be fine. But by the end, she was wiping her face with tissues and scolding me for not crying.
Hmph, could I tell her that I cried with every single Naraku Fan who did a reaction video?
Absolutely not!
2L: ...6, naruto's most tragic CP lives up to its name.
3L: I've doubted countless times whether The Old Thief secretly attended a crash course in tragic romance before making the third season.
4L: Indeed, compared to Kakashi and Naraku, Hashirama and Madara seem much sweeter.
5L: Sister OP, you must let your friend come to the forum and read the masterpieces by several teachers!
For example, "Yesterday's Death", "Love Unto Death", "Snow on Shoulders", "Summer Solstice Has Not Arrived", or "Painkiller", "Rust", "Mute", "Sarcasm"... They are all top-notch sweet stories! Hehe~
6L (OP): Reply to 5L: I'm afraid she'll be too scared to read anything else after the first one.
7L: Reply to 6L (OP): This kind of thing is addictive the more you read it. Even if it hurts your heart, you won't stop~
8L: And also! OP, remember to recommend a few CP fan edits on Bilibili to your friend. I guarantee she'll laugh happily!
For example, "Qingfeng Ruxu"'s treasure of the fandom, [naruto │ naka (Naraku/Kakashi cp) │ Truth is True, Truth is False], [Link]
And "Hafeng Laoweng"'s new work, [naka (Naraku/Kakashi cp)/Reunion Indefinite], [Link]
9L: This entire thread is full of people who enjoy watching drama unfold, hahahahaha.
...17L (OP): Friends, I'm back! Next, I'll live stream my friend's reactions to fanfiction and fan edits!
18L: Reply to 17L (OP): You're a devil...
19L: Waiting for updates! Since I fell into the naka (Naraku/Kakashi cp) hole, this is my favorite show hahahaha.
..."The Old Thief Isn't Even Hiding It Anymore; Every Day He Wakes Up Thinking About How to Mess With Our naka (Naraku/Kakashi cp)"
1L (OP): The heartless Old Thief separated our naka (Naraku/Kakashi cp), and they haven't even seen each other for so long, let's not even mention that.
When Naraku was on the verge of death at Mount Kikyo, they could only miss each other by gazing at the sunset. I can endure that... No, I can't endure that. Old Thief, I ***!
Most importantly, what is Orochimaru's plan in the latest episode going to do?! (〃´dish`)q
2L: Looking at the timeline, Orochimaru went to the battlefield last year. He must have told Fugaku and Mikoto a long time ago, but why didn't they use it on Naraku? Earlier treatment means earlier healing.
3L: I think this method must be extremely risky, with little hope of healing, and it's very likely to turn Naraku into something neither human nor ghost.
For example, Human Experimentation, amnesia and madness, a complete change in personality... In short, The Old Thief has many ways to torment our hearts.
4L: Can a friend downstairs help me close the coffin lid? I feel like I'm a bit dead (peacefully).
5L: Okay (bang bang bang.jpg)
6L: You're quite enthusiastic, upstairs (Ｔ▽Ｔ)
7L (OP): After reading the netizens' comments, my hanging heart is completely dead /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
8L: I actually think The Old Thief isn't that shallow; he definitely has other tricks up his sleeve.
9L: Reply to 8L: All those dirty tricks are aimed at the audience (╬￣dish￣)...

[Ding~]
[System Notification: Anime updated, 3 episodes in total]
Naraku: Hmm? 3 episodes? Something's not right!
Even if the animator included both Jin going to find Yun Muyan and Orochimaru for experiments, it wouldn't be long enough for 3 episodes.
There must be other events happening.
To avoid missing any important information, Naraku decided to watch these episodes first before continuing to browse the forum.
---
Continuing from the last save point, the next episode opened with Fugaku and Orochimaru temporarily returning to the village from the battlefield for rest. The former had just arrived home when he found his wife looking worried, and his youngest son was also in low spirits.
It was only then that he learned Naraku had previously been ordered by the Hokage to go to the battlefield, and to such a dangerous place as guarding Mount Kikyo.
Fugaku was so angry that he activated his Mangekyo and was about to go confront Hiruzen Sarutobi. If Mikoto hadn't appealed to his emotions and reason, emphasizing that Orochimaru needed a stable environment to treat Naraku, he would never have let it go.
Seeing her husband had calmed down, Mikoto took out the secret letter Tsunade had left and handed it to him.
The letter burned after reading, its light reflected in Fugaku's dark eyes, like a materialized rage.
[Fugaku: Hiruzen Sarutobi, I *** you!!]
[Any father would explode.]
[Fugaku: I fought tooth and nail on the front lines, wasn't it so my wife and children wouldn't have to go to war?!]
[Although Naraku's intelligence source is indeed suspicious, and his power was crucial in the Mount Kikyo Battle, that doesn't stop me from thinking Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions were completely incompetent.]
[Exactly. The Uchiha Clan was still fighting the enemy, and he sent their gravely ill child to the front lines. Does that sound good if it gets out?]
[What did the secret letter say? Let me see it before you burn it, hey!]
[Stingy, are we really outsiders?]
[Probably related to the cause and effect of the Mount Kikyo Battle.]
[The reason Mount Kikyo fell into such a disadvantage was too absurd. Given Tsunade's personality, even if the Third was her biological father, he couldn't expect to remain perfectly hidden, let alone just her teacher.]
Then came the conversation between Orochimaru and Uchiha Fugaku over tea, completely skipping over Jin's earlier visit to Yun Muyan.
Presumably, this was to maintain the continuity of the plot.
As for Yun Muyan's mission, there would naturally be a more suitable time to reveal it later.
The anime concealed the specific details of this meeting. Throughout, Orochimaru and Fugaku were speaking in riddles, not revealing much useful information. It seems the animator also considered this a major bombshell that shouldn't be exposed too early.
However, the audience was familiar with Orochimaru's usual methods and mostly guessed in the direction of "Human Experimentation."
The next segment showed Fugaku arriving at the laboratory with the agreed-upon materials, handing everything over to Orochimaru, and then hastily departing.
Every shot was carefully calculated by the animator, using various objects to obscure the true identity of the experimental subject.
The audience couldn't even see its shape, let alone discern whether it was human or animal, only knowing that Fugaku seemed to have brought a large item.
The eyeballs stored in those glass jars were directly erased by the animator with special effects, leaving only a faint, blurry shadow.
[Orochimaru was doing so well on the front lines, even gaining an advantage, so why did they replace him?]
[The Old Thief arranged it; he came back so he could find a way to save Naraku.]
[No, this is just a coincidence. The main reason must be that Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want him on the front lines, and as for why he didn't want him, that's hard to say.]
[What are you trying to do?! I'm dying of curiosity!]
[Nine times out of ten it's Human Experimentation; that's Orochimaru's traditional art.]
[It can't be modifying Naraku, can it? That would be too insane.]
[Impossible. Mikoto would never agree to research that would harm Naraku.]
[What did he bring? Is it a person?]
[I'm fed up. Can't see anything. Old Thief, why did you even release this?]
The Human Experimentation part of the anime concluded, and in the remaining two episodes, the scene shifted back to the battlefield.
News of Sunagakure's failed surprise attack on Konoha at Mount Kikyo, and their eventual regretful defeat, spread among the various powers of the Ninja World.
Ōnoki, the Tsuchikage, believed that Konoha, having allowed Sunagakure to reach its doorstep, must be internally hollow and severely lacking in troops. Now was likely Konoha's weakest moment.
So, he gritted his teeth and dispatched another thousand Ninja from his dwindling forces, hoping to further pressure Konoha and force its premature collapse.
His strategy was quite successful. Konoha, caught off guard after the Mount Kikyo Battle, saw a large number of Ninja surrounded on the front lines, and their defensive positions were precarious.
Kumogakure also seized this opportunity to increase its forces and attack. If Tsunade hadn't adjusted tactics quickly, the situation would likely have been even worse.
[Ōnoki is a bit too impressive.]
[He's very perceptive. Konoha's fighting strength is indeed dwindling, as they're fighting three opponents. Over time, they simply can't sustain such attrition.]
[Ōnoki: War is the art of going all-in! Advantage is mine! Just do it!]
[If Konoha wasn't the protagonist's faction, without so many geniuses, who knows how they would have endured this great war.]
[If they can get through this wave, they'll probably be fine later.]
Jiraiya received the news and immediately assigned Minato Namikaze, who had just returned to the front lines, to lead a squad on a mission to rescue the Konoha front-line forces surrounded by Iwagakure and disrupt Iwagakure's supply lines.
After some deliberation, Minato decided to act alone, using the Flying Thunder God to quickly reinforce the front lines and annihilate Iwagakure's main force.
Kakashi, Obito, and Rin formed a three-person squad, as before, to carry out the mission of destroying the Kannabi Bridge.
[Just returned from the defeated Sunagakure forces, and immediately faced with such a difficult mission. Minato is truly a workhorse.]
[Minato · One-Man Army · Firefighter · Namikaze.]
[Such two important missions, entrusted to a four-person squad? And three of them are children??]
[Konoha is truly short-handed now. If Jiraiya had any other cards to play, he wouldn't have let Minato Squad risk their lives like this.]
---
Naraku: Holy crap! Kannabi Bridge is here!
Quick, quick, where's my [Pseudo-Izanagi: Time Reversal Modification]!?
Kakashi's eye cannot be blinded!!
The moment he saw the words "Kannabi Bridge," Naraku was so anxious that he didn't bother calculating how many popularity points this wish would cost. He also forgot that the current Kakashi had the Sharingan Reincarnation Seal, so he likely wouldn't be injured again.
His mind was filled with the thought of Kakashi losing an eye, as if a large hand was tightly clutching his heart.
After hastily making the wish that "Kakashi's eye will not be injured," he finally came to his senses, silently aching over the nearly ten thousand popularity points burned away.
Then, Naraku remembered that Obito also "died" in this battle. He hesitated for a few seconds, then, with a pained heart, spent many popularity points to wish that Obito wouldn't be crushed by rocks.
--I don't even know if it's too late...-- If it's already happened, [Pseudo-Izanagi: Time Reversal Modification] will be useless.
Naraku paced back and forth in his mental space, unable to sit still. But the three newly released anime episodes were all watched, and no matter how he refreshed, there were no new episodes.
Finally, he let out a frustrated cry.
"Damn it, animator, update already!"
