Chapter 48 Cooperation? (Ch 48)

In order to avoid destroying his kind and innocent character in front of the animators and the audience, Naraku wants to end this dark topic as soon as possible.

“What you told me… I’m just an ordinary Uchiha. I can’t help you.”

“What I care about is not your present, but your future.”

Having said this, Matsukata Kiyoshi paused, then seemed to have made up his mind and wanted to continue saying something.

There was a sudden noise all around, and Naraku quickly drew his sword to be on guard.

Boom boom boom——

Traps were activated and destroyed one after another, and dense footsteps came from far away, followed by the thunder of Kakashi launching his ninjutsu.

Despite Kakashi’s obstruction, two fish still managed to escape and ran into the inner room. One of them pounced on Naraku, while the other swung his sword at Matsukata Seiji.

Naraku dodged the wave ninja who was attacking him and came in front of Matsukata Seiji. He cut off the opponent’s long sword with just one sword, and also cut off the shoulder of the sword holder.

“Aaaaaaaa——”

The screams soon became smaller and disappeared. The other wandering ninja did not run away when his companion turned from a living person into a corpse. Instead, he continued to rush forward fiercely.

Fire escape cannot be used in wooden buildings, so Naraku chooses to use swordsmanship to fight the enemy.

This wandering ninja was slightly stronger than the previous one, and it took him several moves to kill Naraku.

The blood spurting from the two corpses dyed half of the room red.

“That’s really neat and tidy, Naraku-kun~”

The protected person behind him looked at the dead man and even had the mind to praise him, without any fear at all.

Seeing that he was about to move forward, Naraku stretched out his hand to stop him and said, “Please don’t leave behind me. There may be more enemies.”

Kakashi rushed in: “Naraku, Fourth Master, are you okay?”

“No.”

Naraku shook his head. Kakashi saw that although his body was stained with blood, his clothes were not damaged. Knowing that he was okay, he went to see his employer.

After confirming that both of them were okay, Kakashi went to set up traps around them again.

The surroundings fell silent again.

“Even my side was attacked. It seems that the Yujing family is quite powerful. They hired so many people.”

Matsukata Kiyotaka walked to the front again as if he couldn’t sit still and kicked the arm of the first wandering ninja with his foot.

Naraku couldn’t stop his employer from seeking death, so he could only stay by his side and protect him closely.

“Normally, Tamai doesn’t have the financial and material resources to do this, but tonight they do. Do you know why, Naraku-kun?”

Naraku: Big brother, can you please stop talking? Your character is about to collapse! I am not a conspirator!

He could only answer again: “I don’t know.”

“No, you know, I can see it. You just don’t dare to say it.” Matsukata Kiyomasa retorted firmly.

Naraku: My big brother, your intuition is too accurate! Or do you have a system that can hear my thoughts? !

[The time traveler, after testing, is a native of this world and does not have any system installed]

Naraku: Shut up! You scared me by speaking so suddenly!

[Okay, time traveler]

“If you don’t dare to say it, let me say it.”

Matsukata Kiyotaka pointed to the ceiling and said, “Without him, how could Yujing achieve this? But my father still turned a blind eye, or he didn’t want to believe it, and buried his head in the sand like an ostrich.”

“I can’t rely on my father anymore. In order to save the Matsukata family, I must take a position with more say so that I can resist the other party and the Matsukata family can survive.”

“As an Uchiha, you will have to do the same in the future if you want to save your clan. With your talent and wisdom, it won’t be difficult to reach that position within ten years.”

“When the time comes, Matsukata and Uchiha will each get what they want, and everyone will be happy.”

“…”

Naraku decided to play dumb to the end.

Matsukata Seigang thought he was hesitating and thought to himself, he is still too young and has seen too little.

So he said, “It doesn’t matter. You will understand later that we actually have no choice.”

After saying this, he returned to the couch and lay down, fanning himself calmly.

Judging from his appearance, no one would believe that he could see things so clearly.

“By the way, Naraku-kun, you are a smart person. You certainly know what to say and what not to say.”

“Yes, I will forget everything you said to me tonight.”

Naraku was still feeling fortunate about the conversation just now. He basically didn’t say anything useful, and it was all just Matsukata Seiyasu’s one-man show.

If he really responded and was released by the passive painter, he would definitely be labeled as “sinister and cunning” on his forehead.

However, Naraku still thought carefully about what Matsukata Kiyotsu mentioned, “each taking what they need”, which is a way out for Uchiha.

But there are also many disadvantages.

First of all, the other party wrote a blank check. When the plan was completed or half completed, Matsukata turned around and regretted it, claiming that Uchiha was a traitor, and shamelessly dealt with Uchiha. Who can he go to for justice?

Secondly, if Matsukata and Uchiha protect each other, will the Daimyo, Danzo, the Third Hokage and others just give up? No, they might take more drastic measures, which will not only intensify the intensity of the struggle, but also may implicate the Hatake father and son;

Also, he has a popularity value system. As long as he is popular enough, he can become strong enough. Perhaps he doesn’t need to implement this plan. He can change the ending of Uchiha by himself.

We can only take one step at a time and see what happens.

Besides, even if they want to cooperate, they have to wait until they both become the head of the family. It will be useless no matter how nice the talk is now.
