Trees Chapter 322 Eye of The Moon Plan, Commence!

“Hahahahaha!”

"Sasuke, you're so lame!"

Naruto sat next to Sasuke. When he saw the guy's bruised and battered face, he burst into laughter while clutching his stomach.

"Shut up."

Sasuke's face was cold, his earlier good mood had been completely ruined by this yellow-haired guy.

He then pulled out a healing potion, glanced over to confirm that his parents were still busy dealing with Itachi, and finally relaxed enough to drink it.

If his father saw him fully recovered...

Sasuke was pretty sure he’d get another beating.

"So, in the end..."

"That Shinno guy didn’t even have a second phase, huh?"

When his parents had first come after him, he’d initially planned to put up a little resistance.

But...

No matter what he tried, his father had seen through every single move the moment he pulled out his Zanpakuto.

Even when he attempted to escape using Three Thousand Lightning Movement, his mother had just yanked him right back to continue the beating.

As for actually fighting back... Sasuke didn’t dare.

And about what happened in the Pure Land, his parents had explained everything while beating him up.

That was how Sasuke realized just how stupid they’d sounded back in the cave, shouting ‘Impure World Reincarnation’ like idiots.

"That red-haired Sage of Six Paths..."

Sasuke lowered his voice, leaning closer to Naruto before suddenly dropping that bombshell.

He wasn’t stupid.

From what his parents had told him about the Sage of Six Paths losing his mind, he’d already guessed it had something to do with the time the Sage of Six Paths went after Boruto when he was summoned.

"Shhh!!"

Naruto shuddered and immediately covered Sasuke’s mouth.

"Don’t you dare say that to anyone else!"

"You’ll cause a panic!"

To be honest, after causing such a huge mess, Naruto had to admit he felt a little guilty.

Before, he’d always thought that no matter what, Boruto would never become some kind of Evil God.

Well... at least not one capable of corrupting parallel worlds.

But now, it seemed he’d been naïve… and had underestimated his own son’s talent.

"So what do we do now?"

Sasuke pulled Naruto’s hand away, glanced at Itachi, who is still getting beaten up, and casually asked.

Honestly...

Sasuke just thinks that the Sage of Six Paths is troublesome.

As for those red-haired monsters, he and Naruto could literally slap the clarity back into their eyes.

It was almost like...

The two of them had some kind of special damage effect against the red-haired monsters?

"Simple."

"The Sage of Six Paths is definitely lurking around, secretly watching the Shinobi World."

"We just need to find a way to lure him out."

Naruto raised his hand and snapped his fingers, shouting in his heart...

‘The Eye of the Moon Plan, Commence!’

‘If I gather all the Biju and then release Kaguya, there’s no way that red-haired Sage of Six Paths bastard won’t show himself.’

‘Speaking of which...’

Naruto couldn’t help but feel that the mastermind behind everything, Otsutsuki Agarwood, had been slacking off lately. (T/N: He’s talking about Black Zetsu.)

‘That guy didn’t even seem interested in rescuing his mother anymore.’

‘How unfilial!’

‘In the end, it looked like he’d have to rely on me, the savior of the Shinobi World, to help out.’

‘Pathetic.’

"Okay."

Sasuke nodded, not particularly opposed.

Right now, he was pretty satisfied with his life.

Before, he’d wanted to revive his parents. And even though the current situation wasn’t exactly what he’d imagined, at least the Uchiha Clan had technically been brought back.

Even if they were now Shinigami.

Plus, everyone’s strength seemed to have improved.

Sasuke figured that instead of having the Uchiha Clan revive and live in Konoha Village, which would probably need rebuilding again soon anyway...

They might as well stay in the Pure Land and beat up the red-haired monsters!

Of course, this preference of his definitely wasn’t because he’d squandered the clan’s fortune and was worried about his clansmen coming after him for it.

‘Hmm...’

‘It seemed that I was out of money again…’ Sasuke casually checked his phone and saw the single-digit balance.

He then glanced at Itachi, who was still begging for mercy.

He secretly decided in his heart that after his parents were done, he would continue to look for some money from Itachi.

Anyway, the clansmen don’t have to go back to the village now, so all the money Itachi earned might as well be his.

"Oh yeah, you should probably deal with Mitsuki."

"He’s still running those online scams."

"Even calling some old man ‘baby’ through the screen..."

Naruto brought up the topic, still annoyed by Mitsuki’s cringeworthy behavior earlier that day.

But Sasuke’s reaction was strange. Not only was there no anger on his face, he just shoved his hands in his pockets and started walking toward Fugaku.

"Idiot? What are you doing?"

"Aren’t you going to do something about Mitsuki?"

Naruto shouted, already looking down on this irresponsible father.

He felt that Sasuke was half responsible for Mitsuki turning out this twisted.

"I’ll handle it."

"I’m going to ask my dad..."

"What’s the procedure for converting someone into a Shinigami?"

Naruto: “???”

It took Naruto a few seconds to process Sasuke’s words as he sat on the tree branch.

‘Wait...’

‘That’s your own son! Are you seriously planning to beat him to death?’

Sasuke stepped forward, pulling his mother aside while sneakily kicking Itachi, who was on the ground, in the process.

However, the moment Fugaku saw him, his anger flared up again. If not for Mikoto holding him back, he probably would’ve started beating his youngest son all over again.

‘Just look at him!’

‘This brat had already healed up in no time.’

‘Clearly, we hadn’t hit him hard enough!’

"Wait!"

"Father, I wanted to ask you something..."

Fugaku nodded slightly, then unsheathed his Zanpakuto and swung it at Sasuke without hesitation.

"Sure. We’ll talk after I’m done."

"As a father, I must treat my sons equally."

Not long after, the screams of another Uchiha handsome guy were heard at the scene.

Sasuke took a solid hit from the black rod and rolled around on the ground in agony, thrashing like a pig being slaughtered.

Through gritted teeth, he glared at a certain figure in the distance and roared…

"Naruto!! Just you wait!!"

"One day, you’re going to end up in my hands!!"

Crack…

Fugaku swung the black rod again without mercy.

"You bastard! Is that any way to talk to Naruto?"

"Have you forgotten all the manners I taught you?"

"I’m sorry! I’m sorry!"

"Dad, stop hitting me!!"

…

Seeing this, Naruto couldn’t help but feel moved by the greatness of paternal love.

‘Sasuke was willing to face his father’s wrath just to turn Mitsuki into a Shinigami.’

‘I get it now!’

Seeing the Uchiha Family’s heartwarming bonding session, Naruto decided not to interrupt. He just silently left behind one extra black rod before slipping away unnoticed.

On his way past the Konoha Pharmacy, Naruto even dug into his own wallet to buy two boxes of blood pressure medication.

After all…

He was about to pay a visit to Hiruzen.

Showing up empty-handed to see an elder would be rude, and what he was about to discuss might just send the old man into shock…

"Naruto Aniki!?"

"You’re back?!"

Coincidentally, as soon as he stepped out of the pharmacy, he ran into Konohamaru, who was also carrying a box of blood pressure medication.

"You… your grandpa sent you to buy this?"

Naruto’s expression was a little weird. He couldn’t help but feel that Konohamaru’s actions were too filial for comfort.

"How is that possible?"

"This is for Nidaime."

"Hashirama said Nidaime has been getting really bad headaches lately..."

"Since he’s my little bro’s little bro, I got to take care of him when I can."

Konohamaru puffed out his chest proudly as he spoke. If not for his age, and the fact that he’d just called Tobirama his ‘little bro’, he might’ve actually looked like a responsible older brother...

‘But...’

‘Are you sure you won’t be beaten by the old man Sandaime if you do this?’

‘What kind of logic was this?!’

Naruto suddenly felt like the two boxes of blood pressure medication he’d bought weren’t enough.

"Hey, Naruto Aniki, why did you buy some too?"

Konohamaru noticed the box in his Aniki’s hand and felt happy.

‘As expected of Aniki! Even their gift choices were the same!’

"Don’t worry about it."

Naruto grinned but didn't say much.

After all...

He had a feeling that if he explained, Konohamaru would run away immediately.

The two of them walked toward the brand-new Hokage Tower, one after the other. With his keen eye for architecture, Naruto could instantly tell that this latest version was Yamato’s handiwork.

The two of them entered the Hokage Tower freely. The guards at the entrance didn’t even dare to stop them, treating them like thin air.

When they reached the second floor, they happened to run into the four Hokage just after a meeting.

Minato and Kushina’s eyes lit up when they saw their son.

‘What a good kid! He’d even come to wait for us since we were so busy.’

Just as the couple stood there, eyes shining with anticipation, waiting for their son to run over and hug them…

They saw the boy carrying a box and walking towards Hiruzen...
