From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 43 The Path of Change in Amegakure
"Twilight. The Hermit's Gathering."

Xiao Nan murmured these five words, and a strange power surged within her heart.

In a hazy state, she seemed to fall into boundless darkness, and deep within the thick black mist, she saw a majestic and magnificent church of bones.

Inside the pure white church stood rows of pitch-black stone pillars, inlaid with the bones of countless creatures. On the highest platform at the deepest part of the church stood a huge white bone cross, binding an unspeakable, indescribable, enormous figure of light and shadow that seemed to support the heavens and the earth.

In the instant that she subconsciously looked directly at the light and shadow.

hum!
Countless thoughts, like a torrent, were forcibly stuffed into the sea.

Xiao Nan clutched her throbbing, splitting head, letting out screams of agony. She felt as if her personality had been brutally torn into millions of pieces by the onslaught of those torrents of energy.

Each torn-up personality seemed to possess its own will, whispering, roaring, and howling in her ear in different voices.

"No, I don't want it anymore."

Xiao Nan's eyes were vacant and unfocused, her mind blank, like a puppet that had been 'broken'.

Just then, 'Adam' suddenly made his move.

Just then, as she was in immense pain, enduring countless thoughts and tormenting her personality, a figure shrouded in light descended like an angel.

The six-winged angel, shrouded in light, gently stroked the top of her head with its warm palm.

Gradually, all the sounds faded away from her.

Under that warm light, Xiao Nan felt a deep sense of comfort, like a baby in its mother's womb.

A moment later, Xiao Nan, who had regained her composure, opened her eyes and saw Adam.

Those eyes, still as clear and pure as a baby's, with a faint golden hue, made her feel incredibly at ease.

"What was that just now?"

Xiao Nan's eyes still held a lingering fear; she was still shaken by what had just happened.

Whether it's the majestic church of bones, the enormous light and shadow bound to the cross of bones, or even the 'angel' that appears at the end, all of these far exceed the worldview she created.

So this is the real ninja world!
She used to be like a pet living in a fish tank, never truly understanding these truths.

But now, she seems to have finally glimpsed a sliver of understanding.

"Sorry, I was negligent."

Uchiha Munezuki said gently, "I forgot to warn you, from now on, do not recite this name in private without my permission."

In fact, he did it on purpose.

People are always intimidated by power but not by virtue. Sometimes, it's better to show some strength than to just talk.

Of course, he couldn't simulate the true aura of a deity, much less summon the 'Ancient Sun God,' so that scene was still 'fake.'

However, although it is fake, it is essentially part of the 'Ancient Sun God'—filthy words!
The obscene words, the blasphemous voice of the true creator of rap, forced him to exclaim in genuine admiration: This thing is really useful!
"Excuse me, may I ask you?"

Xiao Nan hesitated for a moment, but still persisted in asking the question that had been bothering her: "What exactly is it?"

“You can call Him the Creator.”

Uchiha Munezuki said calmly, "He is the creator of everything, an omniscient and omnipotent god; the source of all greatness, the beginning and the end, the god of gods, the ruler of the vast star realm, the great being we worship, and the reason for the founding of the 'Twilight Hermit Society'."

"Isn't it the Sage of Six Paths who can create everything?" Konan was very confused, as this was completely different from the 'mythology' she was familiar with.

"So-called myths are nothing more than stories passed down and adapted by later generations based on true facts." Uchiha Muneki shook his head and smiled. "Just like the Sage of Six Paths, whom you are familiar with, if the original story were restored, it would probably only disappoint you."

Xiao Nan wanted to ask more, but he stopped her by raising his hand: "It cannot be said, it cannot be asked."

It wasn't that he was deliberately acting mysteriously, but rather that he didn't want to continue the conversation.

After all, although he had the "Fate Doll" and was confident that he could block the Sage of Six Paths and the Great Toad's detection, this extraordinary item was not of a high level. It would be fine to say less, but if he kept talking about it, it was uncertain whether he would be discovered.

“I understand, Mr. Adam.”

Xiao Nan immediately realized what he meant and shut her mouth, keeping it a secret.

"Our fate ends here."

Uchiha Muneki slowly stood up, picked up the black book, and scrutinized her with his pale gold eyes: "I hope that when we meet next time, I can see your resolve."

"Wait, Mr. Adam!"

Seeing the man about to leave, Xiao Nan panicked: "Excuse me, how can I contact you? And how can I change my fate? Huang Bu, what do you need me to do?"

“You don’t need to do anything, at least it’s not the right time yet.” Uchiha Muneki looked up at the sky and said meaningfully, “And you don’t need to contact me either. As for how to change your fate, I’ve already told you the answer.” With that, he stepped into the rain.

Whether by coincidence or not, the sky cleared up at that moment, the rain stopped and the clouds dispersed, and a ray of sunlight shone down, highlighting his silhouette, making him appear like a deity walking among mortals.

The Lord said: "When He awakens from the deep slumber of death..."

"The kingdom He envisions will surely come to earth; the future He proclaims will surely become reality."

The chanting faded into the distance, and 'Adam' seemed to have never been there, disappearing without a trace.

"Answer."

Konan lowered her head, clenching her clothes tightly, her fingers turning white, her eyes resolute: "The Hidden Rain Village needs change. The Akatsuki organization also needs change!"

"Nagato, I need you."

Xiao Nan, who had just returned from a trip, sat down in front of Nagato's sickbed and the first thing she said was that she needed his help.

Although she didn't know what problem Konan had encountered, Nagato, who regarded her as his younger sister, didn't hesitate at all, and didn't even ask for the reason. He simply nodded and agreed: "Okay, go ahead."

"I want to purge the organization from within."

Xiao Nan's tone was as cold as a block of ice, and her eyes flashed with a certain 'will'.

"What did you say?"

Nagato rubbed his eyes, thinking he had misheard.

“I said, we must purge the organization from within.” Konan repeated, her eyes fixed on him. “Yahiko is dead, but his will is not. I want to inherit his will and create a world without oppression. You, Nagato, will you help me?”

Looking at the girl in front of him, Nagato felt a sense of unfamiliarity for a moment.

The girl who used to be quiet and reserved, always relying on him and Yahiko, is now telling him that she wants to inherit Yahiko's will.

"Can you tell me why, Konan?" Nagato asked with a complicated expression.

"If fate has truly ordained us, we will die."

Xiao Nan's eyes seemed to burn with flames: "At least before that, I will use all my strength to destroy it!"

At that moment, Nagato seemed to see a burning black flame in Konan's pupils.

That ball of black flame was so eerie, cold, and sharp.

However, this is good.

At least Xiao Nan made him feel at ease.

"I understand, Xiao Nan."

Nagato slowly sat up, supporting himself on the edge of the bed, just as he always trusted Yahiko: "I will help you, even if it means going against fate and the world."

"Thank you, Nagato."

Xiao Nan felt a warmth in her heart and gripped those thin, bony hands tightly.

"So, what are you going to do?"

Nagato coughed twice and asked weakly.

"Integrate the Akatsuki organization and take control of Amegakure."

Xiao Nan revealed her pre-thought-out plan.

"If someone disobeys?" Nagato hesitated for a moment before asking.

He is now fully aware of the situation within the organization.

After Yahiko's death, many people left the organization, while some of the remaining members were also stirring up trouble, planning to seize power.

Those people were there from the organization's early days; they were considered veterans.

"It's very simple."

Xiao Nan's tone was calm and even: "Those who disobey, kill them; those who obey, keep them."

The ninja world isn't that complicated.

The strong make the rules, and the weak obey them!
Let me explain briefly. Naruto is essentially a manga, so its world-building and timeline inherently have conflicts. However, to make it as plausible as possible, it's necessary to interpret the original characters. My interpretation might be incorrect, but that's how the book is set up. I hope you readers can understand.
