NOVEL NEXT 126. Finalize the Cooperation and Plan to Gain Favor of Konoha.
>>>>>
After waiting for them to read all the memories about the original plot in Naruto including a short explanation about the chat group member's plan about this world, Kaito notices that they finally open their eyes--- which are still full of confusion and disbelief.
...
"What do you think, Raikage-san, and future fifth Raikage, Darui-san?" Kaito asked calmly while carefully looking at the change in their reaction. Depending on how they react, the only option is whether to force them to forget or continue to cooperate with them.
"Is that memory real, Kaito-san?" Darui asked seriously, "I am not saying that I doubt you but looking at the future is unbelievable."
"It is real." Kaito nodded to confirm and added, "The future might change because of our presence, but the threat persists."
"Well, I think your plan was good, Kaito-san." Darui relaxed his nerves and added, "Akatsuki indeed to deal with as soon as possible and resource was indeed the main cause of why the Shinobi World War ever happened in the first place."
"We have many plans to minimize conflict between villages, but what is certain is that our focus is to prevent war from occurring in this world." Kaito explained calmly.
They have agreed to implement a plan similar to what they did in SAO, so the members already know what they will do.
For example, Uta plans to tour concerts around the world promoting peace, Erina and Hisako travel around spreading cooking recipes and even plan to open a restaurant branch-- increasing the quality of life and making people interested in taking being a chef seriously, Crocodile plans to enter the black market in this world and control it, and so on.
Obviously, those only happen after they make sure to solve the Itachi situation with his brother.
...
"The future of this world... and the truth behind Akatsuki's plan was quite a mind-boggling to learn." Raikage who has been quiet finally spoke up as he looked up to the sky, "Not to mention the existence of Otsutsuki... we really shouldn't fight each other while a threat looming in the distance."
"..."
Hearing it, everyone was silent, because what Raikage said was true. All chat groups who are present at the moment also almost forgot the existence of Otsutsuki, which is a factor that will hinder chat group goals in this world.
If they need to make this world 100% peaceful in the future, they need to get rid of them at some point. After all, some of the 'Otsutsuki' members' abilities are ridiculous, such as absorbing energy or even changing the perception of all living beings on the planet.
"Kaito, You have said that you want to change the future, but I didn't see the part of your plan where you want to deal with those aliens." Raikage turned off his cigar and calmly asked, "Do you have confidence in dealing with those Otsutsuki?"
Kaito smiled and confidently answered, "100% confident!"
"So confident?"
Kaito nodded and explained, "I am not sure what their strength but right now, we have 2 people with 6* strength combat power and another 6* strength combat power limit that probably would even go beyond in the future."
"6* strength? Is that how you guys measure people in strength?" Raikage inquired.
"Yeah." Kaito nodded and explained, "For example, Raikage, you were marked at top 4* strength by our standard. 4* strength people have the strength to destroy small cities and towns without much problem and I think you fit the criteria."
Raikage agreed with his evaluation and then continue asked, "Then, how strong are people with 6* strength?"
"Those are people who are capable of destroying an island or country without any problem." Kaito explained and then turned at Sakuya who stood behind him, "And Sakuya here is one of 6* strengths we got with an ability to control the time like time stop."
""Time?!""
Both Raikage and Darui were shocked at Kaito's answer since they never heard of the ability to control time... which is even more ridiculous than space. No wonder Bee was unable to perceive her speed, after all, she probably moved during time stop which is something they can't defend with and perfect ability to commit assassinations.
However, shortly after both of them immediately calmed down as they realized there was no need to be afraid. After all, they are currently allies, and to have such strong allies feels reassuring.
"What about the other 2 people? What are their abilities... if you don't mind answering." Raikage continues to inquire but he regrets his decision after hearing Kaito answer.
"Hmm, one of them can control reality around her using her words, and the other one I believe is capable of blowing up this planet in one punch if he tried."
"..."
Even though the Raikage and Darui knew they were allies, hearing that one of their members was able to destroy the planet in one blow was truly a shocking understatement.
Once again, the Raikage was very grateful for his decision to befriend them. He also planned to thank Bee later, giving appropriate suggestions and even solidifying their position as the closest alliance to Kaitogakure.
>>>>>
After the meeting was over and they agreed to work together under the auspices of Kaitogakure, Sakuya guided their guests to their temporary residence so they could rest. Kaito also felt quite tired from all this talk and planned to do the same but unfortunately, before he was able to do so, he received news from Itachi about Hidan and Kakuzu planning to sell Chiriku's body on the black market soon.
Kaito, who knows the events in the original plot by heart, knows that this is the right time to start getting favor from Konoha because if they don't do something about it, Asuma probably will be killed like in the original plot.
"This is a good chance to gain favor from Konoha, and I had someone in my mind that could help."
Kaito immediately thought to bring Sakuya since she's the most versatile member in combat, but remember this time they were going to deal with an 'immortal' member of Akatsuki, Kaito immediately turned to ask Eucliwood Hellscythe aka Yuu, the legendary necromancer who has more experience dealing with the immortal creature and perfect ability to counter them.
...
After that, Kaito immediately called Yuu via chat group, and shortly after. Yuu arrives inside Kaito's office with a concerned look, wondering what kind of trouble he needs to deal with to ask her to come to the office.
"Good afternoon, Yuu."
Looking at Kaito who didn't seem to be in danger, Yuu sighed in relief and asked, "Good afternoon too. Kaito. Do you need my help?"
Kaito nodded and immediately told his purpose, "Yeah. I want you to follow me to save Asuma later and use your main ability to kill Hidan's immortality."
Hearing Kaito's request, Yuu nodded and answered, "Okay. No problem."
Unlike Yuu, who in the original story was afraid of killing people with her main power because of trauma, Yuu, who has now overcome her trauma, has long overcome her trauma thanks to her experience in SAO, befriending everyone and killing many bad people to protect good players.
Also, the current Yuu can speak freely and use her reality-warping powers with much less severe side effects thanks to the help of the chat group and her group of best friends... which she is truly grateful for.
"By the way, Kaito. You didn't forget your promise right?"
"No. I remember it, Just wait until I got strong enough to deal with that magical girl queen of Villiers." Kaito sighed in depression and added, "After all, I can't even deal with you yet... Although I will keep improving myself."
"Umm."
To fulfill his promise, Kaito knows that he needs to solve his energy limit first and increase his strength evaluation to 6* which he feels is still a bit far away. He needs to be at least equal or more powerful than the final boss of that world, Lillia Lilith to be able to stop her and convince her that there's no need to continue provoking the other worlds.
After all, the main reason why the Queen of Villiers wanted to conquer other worlds was because she was feeling too insecure, believing that she was only truly safe from any threat if everything was under her control, consequentially that reason why the idea of conquering all the worlds came into the picture.
Some villains are just that dumb, but considering Yuu herself comes from a story with comedy as the main genre, Kaito isn't surprised about this.
Even his current main world, Highschool DxD also has a few dumb villains, like Riser and Kokabiel.
