Naruto: The Ridiculously Talented Uzumaki

Chapter 187: Hidden Leaf Village’s Great Swindler

Just as the reconstruction of Hidden Leaf Village was in full swing, Naruto carved out an underground space beneath the surface.

After setting up Sealing Jutsu to prevent Orochimaru from escaping, he finally released him.

The moment Orochimaru was released, Naruto grabbed him by the neck and used a Chakra Seal to suppress his Chakra.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Orochimaru lay on the ground like a dead dog, staring at Naruto with venomous eyes.

Ignoring Orochimaru, Naruto released the Second Hokage from a sealing scroll.

As soon as the Second Hokage appeared, he received the same treatment as Orochimaru and was suppressed by a Seal.

In fact, because he was in an Edo Tensei state, he was even easier to Seal.

"Let’s get straight to the point. I need the help of you two."

Naruto used Wood Release to create a table and chairs, then sat down opposite the two of them.

Orochimaru and the Second Hokage glanced at each other before sitting down on the chairs.

Naruto pulled a scroll from his sleeve.

"Inside this are a Mangekyo Sharingan and two pairs of Byakugan."

Naruto felt that using Kotoamatsukami on Orochimaru might not be entirely reliable, so he decided to influence him with words first.

If that didn’t work, he would simply kill him, resurrect him using the Cursed Seal on Anko’s neck, and then use Kotoamatsukami directly.

After all, these things were ’hot-swappable’; he could just pop it into his own eye socket to control Orochimaru when the time came.

As for the two pairs of Byakugan, they belonged to Fuuichirou and his father. When Naruto had gouged them out, he had conveniently frozen their corpses.

They would shatter at the slightest touch.

Even if left untouched, they would shatter once enough time had passed.

By then, they would be nothing but red ice shards; who could tell if the eyeballs were missing?

The Second Hokage’s eyes widened.

Orochimaru’s eyes narrowed; how interesting.

"Brat, how did you get your hands on these things?"

The Second Hokage asked with a grim expression.

Naruto replied casually, "This is Uchiha Shisui’s Mangekyo Sharingan. His eye was stolen by Danzo. During the Chunin Exams, I took the time to kill Danzo and retrieved Uchiha Shisui’s eye."

Orochimaru looked thoughtful, while the Second Hokage was completely bewildered.

"Who is Uchiha Shisui?"

Orochimaru explained to the Second Hokage, "He is a descendant of Uchiha Kagami, known as Shisui of the Body Flicker. He was an Uchiha who was close to the Hokage’s faction. I spent some time in Root and know about his Mangekyo Sharingan’s technique. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it the strongest Genjutsu."

"The strongest Genjutsu?"

The Second Hokage frowned.

Any technique must have its strengths and weaknesses. How could this Uchiha Shisui’s eye be worthy of being called the strongest Genjutsu?

Naruto explained the effect of Shisui’s ocular power.

"The ocular power of this eye is called Kotoamatsukami. It can rewrite a target’s will without them noticing. However, once used, it takes over a decade to be used again."

Rewriting a person’s will without them noticing?

That was indeed a very powerful Genjutsu.

The Second Hokage nodded in understanding.

If Danzo had obtained this eye, it certainly wasn’t because that child named Shisui had entrusted it to him.

What on earth had he and Sarutobi, those two bastards, been doing!

A Mangekyo Sharingan user who was also loyal to the Hokage!

If he only had some of Danzo’s biological tissue...

The Second Hokage wished he could use Edo Tensei on Danzo Shimura right now just to give him a beating.

"You two should know that the Mangekyo Sharingan is not the end. Above it is the Eternal Mangekyo, which requires the Fusion of a blood relative’s Mangekyo Sharingan to be born. Uchiha Madara’s eyes were the Eternal Mangekyo."

Naruto unhurriedly pulled out another scroll.

"This is a scroll I obtained from the Uchiha Clan. It records the method to awaken the Rinnegan. By combining the powers of the Senju and Uchiha, one can awaken the Rinnegan through the power of all creation."

So that was how the Rinnegan, one of the legendary Three Great Ocular Powers, was awakened?

Orochimaru immediately thought of the child named Nagato and the leader of the Akatsuki Organization, Pain.

Those eyes were originally on the red-haired boy who had traveled with him.

If what Naruto said was true, then those eyes didn’t belong to that child Nagato at all.

Then whose were they?

Uchiha Madara’s?

No, he was dead, and only the Second Hokage should know where his eyes were.

Was it an experiment by the Second Hokage?

But why would the Rinnegan end up outside the village?

Kurama was very surprised inside the Sealing Space.

’Naruto, when did you go to the Uchiha compound?’

’I’m just making it up. As long as I’m strong enough, they’ll wonder if what I’m saying is true. I just need to bluff these two into helping me.’

Kurama: ’Oh, I see... you’re the master of this!’

Thinking of how Naruto used to play the Third Hokage, Kurama wanted to laugh.

Although Naruto was heavily suppressed by the Third Hokage when he was little, he quickly found ways to counter him.

He even had Kurama cooperate to create the illusion of a Chakra rampage, forcing the Third Hokage to stop threatening to cut his living expenses after Naruto beat someone up.

Unlike the brainstorming Orochimaru, the Second Hokage reached out his hand.

His meaning was clear: he wanted to check the scroll!

Naruto had no intention of giving it to him and simply put the scroll away.

His attitude was clearly: believe it or not.

Seeing Naruto put away the scroll, the Second Hokage narrowed his eyes.

"I want to see the contents."

"Naruto-kun, this is like refusing to show your hand during a card game. If we can’t verify it, we can’t be at ease!"

"Then don’t be at ease. Believe it or not. I’m keeping this as a collectible."

"Furthermore, there’s the Byakugan. The Byakugan can evolve into the Tenseigan, which is comparable in power to the Rinnegan."

Naruto pushed the Mangekyo Sharingan and the Byakugan toward Orochimaru, looking at him with a smile.

"I’m not asking you to turn the Sharingan into the Rinnegan; I just need you to mass-produce it. I’m leaving this task to you, Orochimaru."

"Tell me what you need. If it’s not too difficult to get, I’ll have it delivered to you quickly."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.

Was this guy intentionally making things difficult for him?

Mass-producing the Mangekyo Sharingan? How was that possible?

Was he supposed to find some women for Uchiha Sasuke to continue the Uchiha Bloodline?

He chuckled. "Would you even give me Uchiha Sasuke or Hyuga Hinata if I asked?"

Naruto asked flatly, "What? Do you think your head is a fruit on a tree that grows back once it’s picked?"

Though he wanted to say it actually could, Orochimaru sheepishly shut his mouth.

"As for the Second Hokage, I need you to develop Ninjutsu. This scroll contains some of my ideas for Ninjutsu; you can take a look."

Seeing Orochimaru shut up, Naruto pulled out another scroll and handed it to the Second Hokage.

The Second Hokage laughed in frustration after reading the requirements.

"What do you take me for? A turtle in a wishing well?"

"Using the Spirit Transformation Jutsu combined with Edo Tensei to bring back the Souls of the deceased."

"Using Puppet shells as their bodies to achieve a brand new Edo Tensei?"

"Edo Tensei requires a sacrifice. And after entering a spirit state with the Spirit Transformation Jutsu, one might get lost in the Pure Land. It’s simply impossible."

"And this one—injecting Chakra into a target to make it rotate continuously with the planet’s rotation, such that the attack never ends until the planet stops spinning."

"Did you laugh when you wrote this?"

"Is this even Ninjutsu?"

"This is a divine technique only the Six Paths Sage could use!"

Naruto shrugged. Even so, that second one was indeed a skill Boruto had learned: Rasengan: Uzuhiko.

In the original story, the child of Naruto and Hinata—the combination of Uzumaki and Hyuga—was indeed exceptionally gifted.

"I know you might not believe me, but hold out your fists. I’ll show you."

The Second Hokage hesitated for a moment before extending his fist.

He wanted to see what kind of tricks this kid was trying to pull.

Orochimaru simply extended his fist. Naruto could kill him easily; there was no need for petty tricks.

Moreover, by showing the Kotoamatsukami, Naruto had already made his stance clear; he wasn’t even willing to use it to control them from the start.

This proved that Naruto didn’t actually harbor any ill will toward them.

The moment the two of them bumped fists with Naruto, countless images flashed before their eyes.

A scene of two men sealing a giant white woman—that was the Six Paths Sage and his brother sealing their mother.

The branch family of the Moon’s Otsutsuki using the Tenseigan to wipe out the main family.

A young adult Naruto fighting Toneri on the moon.

The Otsutsuki invasion.

Densely packed Sharingan, the clones of Uchiha Shin.

Tenseigan, black eyes, Jōgan, purple, blue, yellow, and red Rinnegan... what on earth was all this?

Was no one going to tell me about the version update?!

Seeing their shocked expressions, Naruto withdrew his hand.

He had shown them parts of the future.

After letting them process it for a while, Naruto finally spoke.

"Well?"

"Is there any merit in my request for you to mass-produce the Sharingan, Orochimaru?"

"The future you can mass-produce the Mangekyo Sharingan."

Orochimaru flicked out his long tongue and licked his face.

"Of course. If it’s something the future me can do, I can certainly do it. But I need time."

On this point, he was extremely confident.

Orochimaru actually knew that fellow named Shin from the memories.

That guy possessed a special Physique that allowed him to undergo any organ transplant without rejection.

Danzo’s white right arm belonged to him. He hadn’t expected the man to have such talent.

However, Shin’s own talent was poor, and he was an important research subject, so Orochimaru had never considered using the Living Corpse Reincarnation on him.

Who knew he could be used like this?

Although the scene with the person having a Rinnegan in their palm only showed the Hokage Rock for a split second.

The Second Hokage keenly noticed that there were seven heads on it.

Based on the features, the Fifth Hokage should be Tsunade, the Sixth was a guy in a mask, and the Seventh had six whiskers on his face—likely the boy in front of him.

The Second Hokage also understood now. No wonder this boy had learned Wood Release at such a young age and possessed such formidable strength.

The Ninja World had countless techniques, and heroes were as numerous as carp crossing a river.

According to Naruto’s memories, it wouldn’t be surprising if tools or techniques that could send people or memories back appeared in the future.

Seeing the sudden change in attitude from the two opposite him, Kurama was a bit confused.

’What did you show them?’

’Didn’t I tell you? I’m bluffing them.’

Naruto’s consciousness smiled.

Kurama used his ’True Suspicious Gaze’ on Naruto.

’Are you sure you aren’t bluffing me too?’

’How could I? Lord Kurama is so smart, how could you be fooled by me?’

Kurama was silent.

Kurama thought.

Kurama breathed a sigh of relief.

’That’s true.’

Naruto secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Tsunderes were truly the easiest to fool.
