Naruto: If I ask you to kill Sasuke, you will become a succubus?

The meal went smoothly but in silence.

Most people seemed to be worried, and perhaps the calmest ones were Asaka, Gaara and Uchiha Itachi.

But fortunately, no one showed obvious resistance or rebellion.

"Thank you all for gathering here. Whether you followed me here voluntarily or involuntarily."

Zhaolu's eyes swept across the faces of everyone present and she smiled slightly. "Some of you already know my plan, and some of you may still be confused. It doesn't matter. I will tell you everything again here and answer your questions... You are my chosen companions. I chose you not only because you are powerful, but also because I believe... If you are given a chance to choose again, you have a strong motivation to change the world."

She looked at Deidara beside her, "Try to take another path and find a better future..."

Deidara looked glad that she looked at him first, and not at Naruto in the other direction.

Then Chaolu's eyes fell on Itachi and Sasuke: "Change the fate of the family, save your loved ones..."

Itachi looked back at her calmly, and Sasuke pursed his lips.

She glanced at Karin, Suigetsu, and Jūgo one by one, and then met Konan’s gaze: “Rescue the friends who sacrificed themselves, and protect our home…”

Konan's eyelashes trembled, and she unconsciously turned her head to look at Nagato beside her, as if trying to confirm their feelings.

Next to her was Kakashi, who looked a little dazed.

"--Even save more people. Parents, teachers... Because you already know how many people will be lost on this path, you will be able to find a way to modify it and save more people."

Finally, Chaolu looked at Naruto: "Akatsuki wants to use the Ten-Tails to rule the world, Uchiha Madara wants to use the Ten-Tails to make the whole world fall into illusion... I want to use the power of the Ten-Tails to let you start over. This is my plan. As for the use of the Ten-Tails, I think my plan is better."

She has expressed her thoughts to many people these days.

At the beginning, it was just a somewhat vague concept, but the more she talked about it, the more Chaolu sorted it out herself, and she became clearer and clearer about what she wanted, and what she should do in each step of her plan, so her language became more concise and accurate.

The Snake Team's reaction was the biggest, because they were not familiar with Chaolu, did not trust her enough, and it was the first time they heard of this plan that seemed like a fantasy.

Chaolu asked back, "But what have you lost?"

The Snake Squad was stunned.

According to Chaolu's plan, if the future she modified after going back to the past did not become better but became worse, she would keep the current timeline. In other words, the worst case scenario would be to maintain the status quo as it is now.

Shigeo was already lost in thought: "If I could save Kimimaro..."

Karin and Mizuki couldn't help but start thinking - what if I went back to the past... ?

"If everyone can accept it," Chao Lu looked at Kakashi and Naruto, "then our next plan is to collect the remaining two tailed beasts."

Konan whispered: "Eight-Tails and...Nine-Tails."

Hearing the Nine-Tails' name, Naruto looked at Chaolu in a daze but didn't say anything.

"To awaken the Ten-Tails, we don't need all the chakra of the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails, but our plan will consume a huge amount of chakra. And if we don't take the Eight-Tails away, it will be troublesome if it turns against us in the hands of others." Chaolu said, "But we can avoid hurting the Jinchūriki... As long as a piece of the Eight-Tails is left, in short, a part of the chakra is left in the Jinchūriki's body, he will not die."

Deidara said disapprovingly: "Just catch the Jinchuriki, why do we still care whether he lives or dies?"

Gaara looked at him coldly.

Deidara realized it belatedly: "Oh yeah, you were the One-Tail Jinchuriki before... Wait, how did you survive?"

"Chaolu saved me. I was originally going to die." He sat next to Chaolu, like a solid evidence - proving that she could definitely change her fate, proving that she had the ability to make her fate move towards the future she wanted.

Shuiyue asked in confusion: "If we can capture the Eight-Tails, why should we keep him alive?"

"Because it's easy to kill a person," Chaolu said, "but it's very difficult to keep a person alive."

Shuiyue: “Ah?”

He didn't look like he understood, so Karin rolled her eyes and pulled him back.

"What about me?" Naruto asked in a somewhat dry voice, "What are you going to do to me?"

Some people knew that he was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so they kept silent at this moment. Some people didn't know that he was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so they looked at Naruto with puzzled expressions.

Chaolu looked at Naruto. Her tone was calm and gentle before, and she became even gentler subconsciously at this moment: "The Nine-Tails in your body was originally only a part. The other part is with your father, the Fourth Hokage...but he used the Demon Sealing...We have to find him."

Naruto was stunned: "My...father?"

"Yeah. You could have gotten into a tough fight against Pein and met him in front of the Kyuubi's cage."

Nagato said weakly: "You said this as if you were a prophet who had predicted the future..."

"I have seen a future that is very similar to ours, but not exactly the same."

Because there was no such person as Chaolu in that world from the very beginning.

Chaolu said: "So I think my existence... must be able to change something."

Naruto fell into a new confusion. Seeing him staring blankly at the tatami, no one knew what he was thinking. Chaolu did not force him to express his opinion.

She said, "Nagato...you are still very weak, so you and Konan should go and rest first."

Karin looked at Nagato hesitantly, then at Sasuke, "Well, if you need treatment... I... I should be able to help."

Sasuke glanced at her but didn't object.

Chaolu added, "Deidara, you too. Get some rest tonight."

"Why? I just hurried a little bit. I'm not as tired as Pein, am I? Or do you have a mission for me?"

"Yes. You and Gaara are going to the Sand Village and bring Sasori back as soon as possible."

"Brother Scorpion? Speaking of Scorpion--how on earth was Brother Scorpion captured by the Sand Village? Hmm?"

Zhaolu's eyes wandered for a moment: "...Well..."

Gaara said, "It seems that you are not well-informed."

"What! I have my own sources of information, okay? But this matter is just unbelievable—"

Chaolu smiled and glossed over the matter: "That's why intelligence is so important. Okay, you two, go get ready now."

Gaara stood up and went to the next room with Deidara.

Chaolu added, "Then, this room will be reserved for Nagato and Konan. Karin will treat Nagato, and the Snake Squad will stay here for the time being. When you rest, just close the paper door in the middle to separate them. Any problem?"

The Snake Team is now considered Sasuke's subordinates, so naturally they have to confirm his wishes. Seeing that he remained silent, no one raised any objections.

Finally, only Sasuke, Itachi, Naruto and Kakashi were left in front of Chaolu.

The Uchiha brothers sitting on her left already knew her biggest secret, and now she was going to tell it to the two on her right.

"I know you have absorbed too much information today. It may take some time to digest it. Maybe you don't want to know more... But there is one thing I must tell you."

"Must...?" Kakashi asked tiredly, "What else is considered a 'must'?"

"Have you seen Obito?"

"..."

"It seems that I have seen it before. Have you read his memory?"

"..."

"I guess you've seen it, too."

Kakashi smiled bitterly, lowered his head and covered his face, muttering: "This world... is really hell."
