Naruto: I Can Take People Through the Ninja World in the Future-Chapter 526: Parallel World Fusion Progress 5

"Yes, that's right, you. I want you to continue pretending to be loyal to Obito, then return to Zetsu's side. Provide the necessary information and lure him into our trap!"

Nagato explained calmly.

This was also why he deliberately let Kisame live—to make him a spy to lure Zetsu!

If Zetsu could deceive and manipulate him and the entire Akatsuki, why couldn't they retaliate?

Besides, the details of the battle here were impossible for Zetsu to know.

As long as Kisame returned alive, this deception had a high chance of success.

Even if Zetsu didn't fully believe it, as long as they could track his position, that would be enough for Nagato to finish everything!

As already reminded—Nagato, who had lost once, no longer relied solely on his own strength.

He now used more of the intelligence and strength of the entire Akatsuki.

If he hadn't been so arrogant in the past and had directly attacked Konoha with the entire Akatsuki, perhaps the Five Great Villages would have already been conquered!

But regretting it now was useless. It was better to focus on killing Zetsu first.

"Huh? Me, lure Zetsu? This... I'm not good at lying..."

Kisame was stunned.

Was this world still full of deception?

Having come this far, he still had to be a spy again?

He was an honest person, not suited for this kind of thing!

"There's no need for much lying. Just tell him how Obito was defeated by us. Just hide the part where you've become our ally."

"Will... will this work?"

"Don't you also want to confirm if Zetsu is really the mastermind? Did he take advantage of Madara and Obito? This is a good opportunity for you..."

Nagato's words convinced Kisame.

Actually, Kisame did want to confirm the truth of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and being a spy was the best way.

"Alright. I understand, I'll try!"

Kisame accepted this 'fake job'.

Although he didn't like being a spy, for the sake of reaching the truth, he was willing to try again!

"In addition, don't be reckless. Wait until we all act together. Zetsu is very cunning. If he escapes, it will be difficult to catch him again..."

Nagato reminded him seriously.

If Zetsu hid, it would be almost impossible to find him. So this was their only chance. They had to make sure everything went perfectly.

"I understand, I'll be careful!" Kisame nodded. freewēbnoveℓ.com

"But, what if Zetsu suspects me?"

"If you're found out, you can blame Kabuto. He also mastered Edo Tensei. As Orochimaru's successor, he's the perfect scapegoat."

Nagato unhesitatingly made use of Kabuto.

If Zetsu thought Kabuto was controlling Akatsuki now, it would simplify everything.

It could conceal Nagato's existence and reduce Zetsu's vigilance.

Besides, Kabuto was also digging graves—it didn't matter making him a scapegoat.

"I see, I understand!"

Kisame nodded, inwardly admiring how cunning Nagato had become.

He could come up with such a wicked and detailed plan.

Did dying once make a person smarter?

Impossible, right?

"Alright, Kisame, you can go now."

Nagato gestured for Kisame to begin his double spy mission. Staying here too long could arouse suspicion.

"Itachi, escort Kisame. Don't go out of the rain's range, there might be Zetsu watching outside."

"Okay, thank you, Boss."

Nagato took Deidara and the others back to Amegakure to rest before heading to the Land of Iron.

While Itachi escorted Kisame alone.

"Your injury, are you alright?"

Itachi pointed to Kisame's severed left arm.

"No problem, won't die."

Kisame raised Samehada. Although losing one arm reduced his strength, the title 'Tailless Tailed Beast' wasn't just empty talk.

Inside Akatsuki, full of monsters, he might look ordinary. But outside, he was one of the strongest ninjas—not inferior to any Kage.

"Don't push yourself."

"Wow, it's rare for Itachi to care about me!"

"By the way, why does Boss trust me so much? Directly giving me this important task? Isn't he afraid I'll go back and tell Zetsu everything?"

Itachi raised an eyebrow, replying: "That's useless. As long as the Rinnegan is still in Boss's hands, the Infinite Tsukuyomi can't be performed. So even if it's exposed, it doesn't matter, while you are almost certainly dead!"

"I see, Boss has really become wiser..."

Kisame sighed.

"Anyway, don't underestimate Zetsu. Be careful, don't die."

"Itachi, shouldn't you be the one listening to this advice? You're the most reckless..."

"True, and the price I paid was very high. I don't want you to pay the same price."

"Alright, alright! I'll be careful, and I'm not easy to kill either."

Kisame laughed heartily.

Being valued and cared for by Itachi already satisfied him.

At least, in this false world, he still had one true friend.

Although this friend was once a spy who infiltrated Akatsuki, at least their friendship was real—that was enough!

"Besides, if you meet Sasuke first, please take care of him."

"That kid? Alright, you still care deeply for your younger brother! Relax, I'll look after him..."

Kisame sheathed Samehada, waving his hand. Then he left alone, disappearing into the rain mist.

Itachi withdrew his gaze, smiled faintly, then returned.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

At this moment, above the clouds of Amegakure.

Lux, floating there, watched the whole show with satisfaction.

As expected, Nagato managed to defeat Obito and recruit Kisame.

Next, Nagato would try to kill Zetsu.

Would this mess up the Kage Summit?

Certainly. With Obito's absence, the original development of the Kage Summit would definitely be disrupted, but it didn't matter, as long as it accelerated the fusion of Parallel World 5, that was enough.

Lux didn't care about the rest.

Why didn't he intervene directly?

The reason was simple—although he could kill the Kage or some obstacles, he couldn't be like Madara or Minato who slaughtered enemies on a large scale, because they were natives of this world.

Beings from other worlds, including himself, if they killed too many, would be rejected by the world.

That would complicate the efforts to fuse this world.

So Lux limited his actions to only important moments—like when fighting Isshiki or Kaguya.

For large-scale wars and unification, it was better left to Nagato and other natives.

Besides, unification carried out by themselves was also easier to maintain...

Lux glanced at the mission progress in the system:

[Parallel World Fusion Progress 5: 1% → 29%]

"Hmm... The increase in Parallel World 5's progress is quite significant! But this is mainly because the initial value was very low."

'After Pain's invasion failed and Nagato committed suicide, the chances of Akatsuki and Amegakure unifying the world were almost zero—even 1% was good. But now it has jumped directly to 29%, amazing!'

"This is mainly thanks to the presence of Nagato and the other Akatsuki members—in terms of strength, they almost match or even exceed the Five Great Villages."

"Although in terms of influence and scale, they still lag far behind. But there's no need to rush, just do it step by step."

At least now it was clear—In Parallel World 5, choosing Nagato and Akatsuki was far more promising than choosing Konoha!
