Chapter 236 - Chapter 237: Konoha Advisor Adam

Six days later, at 2 PM, in a dense forest within the Mountain Graveyard.

"Kisame has been killed by Konoha's Might Guy, but before he died, he sent intelligence on the Allied Shinobi Forces' military deployment and the hiding place of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. Yakushi Kabuto has already gone to capture them."

"According to Uchiha Obito's plan, tonight the White Zetsu army will launch a surprise attack on the Allied Shinobi Forces. Those White Zetsu possess transformation jutsu that can even mimic Chakra, making them undetectable by normal Ninja."

"Tomorrow, all the Edo Tensei strongmen will continue their assault."

Sasuke relayed all the intelligence he had gathered today to Adam.

Now, the Allied Shinobi Forces, numbering over eighty thousand Ninja, have officially gathered within the Land of Lightning, while the Akatsuki, led by Obito, and one hundred thousand White Zetsu are located in a secret place called the Mountain Graveyard, across the sea.

"I understand. Let's proceed with the plan tomorrow."

Adam nodded, sensed the Flying Thunder God Mark on Naruto, and then disappeared from his spot.

To lure out Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya must be revived, and Kaguya's revival requires this Fourth Shinobi World War. Therefore, he would not act in advance to kill Obito and the others to prevent the war.

In fact, even if it wasn't to lure out Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, he wouldn't stop this great war.

The five Shadow Villages had long-standing grievances, many with deep-seated blood feuds. If this war didn't resolve the long-standing hatred between the various Villages, then there would still be wars later, and true peace would never arrive.

Of course, a great war was inevitable, but there was no need for too many Ninja to sacrifice themselves as in the original plot.

For example, there was no need for Yakushi Kabuto to capture Yamato to enhance the White Zetsu's strength. If the White Zetsu were weaker, the casualties of the Allied Shinobi Forces would also be fewer.

There was also no need for Naruto and Killer Bee to hide on Turtle Island. Naruto had already mastered Nine-Tailed Chakra Mode, and appearing earlier to identify White Zetsu impersonating Allied Shinobi would reduce casualties.

In short, the general direction remained unchanged, but in the details, things could be done to reduce the casualties of the Allied Shinobi Forces, especially the Ninja of Konoha.

During his time in the Naruto World, he had mostly been in Konoha, and had some acquaintance with many of Konoha's Ninja, so he couldn't stand by and do nothing.

The main reason was that he couldn't stay in this World indefinitely. He could only appear for an hour in the final battle tomorrow, so he naturally had to wait until the very end to show up.

If he didn't help the Allied Shinobi Forces lighten some of the burden beforehand, he was afraid that the Allied Shinobi Forces might not last until he appeared and would be truly swept away by Obito and Madara.

As for whether Sasuke and Naruto would reseal Kaguya before he even appeared?

He had considered this point as well.

Obito currently only had one Rinnegan. Even if Madara revived later and took Obito's eye, it would still only be one Rinnegan.

If they didn't wait for him to come and take his Rinnegan, it was estimated that Kaguya could not be fully revived.

If Kaguya was not revived, the Sage of Six Paths should not divide his power between Naruto and Sasuke.

Of course, if they really couldn't wait for him and sealed Kaguya early, ending the war, then he would just have to find other ways to find Isshiki.

The Naruto World was only so big; at most, it would just take more time.

Inside Turtle Island, off the coast of Kumogakure.

Naruto, who had completed his Nine-Tailed Chakra Mode training, was being tricked by Yamato into performing a so-called S-Rank mission: classifying and registering all the animals on Turtle Island.

"Yo, Naruto, I heard you're on a mission here."

Adam's figure suddenly appeared next to Naruto, startling him.

"Adam, can you stop appearing so suddenly every time? You almost scared the soul out of me!"

"Hahaha, you're so timid, how can you become Naruto?"

Adam patted Naruto's shoulder, joking.

Naruto immediately straightened his back:

"I will definitely become Naruto!"

"Idiot, bastard, who is this Ninja who suddenly appeared? Why doesn't he have a forehead protector?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a strange rapping accent poked his head over. It was Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure. He was carrying Samehada, which he had captured from Kisame, on his back.

"This is Adam, Lord Advisor of our Konoha."

Yamato suddenly interjected to explain.

Tsunade had long given instructions regarding Adam's true identity: not to tell Ninja from other Hidden Villages. If encountered, he could temporarily be referred to as Konoha's Advisor.

"Yes, I am Konoha's new Advisor. I usually don't like wearing a forehead protector."

Adam nodded, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a Konoha forehead protector temporarily transformed by a Deformation Curse, waving it in front of Killer Bee and the Kumogakure Ninja.

He had only ever dealt with Konoha before, so Ninja from other Hidden Villages didn't recognize him. At most, their higher-ups might have received some partial intelligence about him.

They certainly wouldn't know about him coming from another World, or only being able to stay in this World for an hour.

But if the Allied Shinobi Forces fell into a disadvantage in this great war, they would inevitably have to ask Adam for help. In such a case, not having an identity would be quite troublesome.

So, Jiraiya had discussed it with him earlier. If he didn't want to tell the other Shadows his true situation, they could directly arrange a Konoha Ninja identity for him.

After all, he had made so many contributions to Konoha, and now Jiraiya and Tsunade were in power in Konoha, so arranging an identity was no problem at all.

He also felt that it was better not to tell the other Shadows about his situation, lest they develop some unwarranted thoughts.

Although he wasn't afraid given his strength, it would be unnecessary if it caused this lure plan to fail.

He just hadn't expected that Jiraiya and Tsunade would arrange for him to be not just an ordinary Ninja, but Konoha's Advisor.

They probably wanted to use this identity to make Adam take more care of Konoha in the future.

Adam was indifferent to such minor intentions. Anyway, he would continue to do what he wanted to do; he wouldn't actually become an Advisor just because of this title. At most, he would lend a hand when Konoha was in trouble.

"Advisor? So young!"

Killer Bee and his Kumogakure Ninja subordinate were both stunned when they heard Adam's identity.

An Advisor was a position that existed in every Village, second only to the Shadow. To be Konoha's Advisor at such a young age was truly rare.

The key was that they hadn't heard of Konoha having such a young Advisor.

"Adam, when did you become an Advisor?"

Naruto was equally surprised; he hadn't known this news either.

Adam smiled:

"Just two days ago. It's just an Advisor. Your goal is Naruto."

"Right, my dream is to be Naruto!"

Naruto immediately became passionate.

"Boom!"

Just as the group was chatting, the entire Turtle Island suddenly shook.

"It seems they've arrived!"

Adam knew it must be Yakushi Kabuto attacking with the Edo Tensei Deidara.
