"Ah, I haven't been back in so many years. I wonder how Kakashi's doing? The last time I saw him was the time before this!"
On the road, Obito held his head, looking relaxed.
Lin Nan asked doubtfully, "Don't you come back often?"
Obito complained, "Once I joined the Akatsuki, where would I find so much free time? Not everyone is like you, senpai!"
Lin Nan recalled that Obito had mentioned he didn't go on missions frequently, and what he did most often was take on jobs like this, usually alone. Being with Obito now was an exception.
Come to think of it, he was quite an elder in the Akatsuki.
In his previous life, besides revenge and stealing various skills, Lin Nan just wanted to slack off in the Akatsuki.
After all, as a member of a terrorist organization, he had plenty of peripheral members to command.
However, Pain, as the leader, didn't like using these people and preferred to use official members. Even minor tasks required official members.
That's why Itachi and Kisame in the original story seemed to be constantly on the move and had a lot of free time. In reality, they were the busiest members of the Akatsuki.
Kakuzu and Hidan made a lot of money, but they had fewer missions. Most of their work was personal business, and Pain turned a blind eye to it.
In summary, these four were the workhorses!
The key thing was that the Akatsuki didn't even have a salary, can you believe it?
The main reason was that these four didn't spend the organization's money. Unlike Deidara and Sasori, who, along with Konan's private purchases of explosive tags, had the highest expenses.
Now, everything seemed to be unfolding according to his plan.
In this world, he was truly a high-ranking member of the organization who usually slacked off and enjoyed a lot of freedom.
It was great!
Huh?
What kind of thought was that?
Wasn't he supposed to be finding a way to leave now?
After all, the war outside was still raging. Whether they had him or not didn't matter to them, but he wanted Samsara of Heavenly Life!
As expected of the Tsukuyomi Restricted, it invaded my brain so easily.
I'm not here on a mission; I'm here to visit the main locations of the original story to gather information for my departure.
Yes, that's right!
Obito looked at Lin Nan's fluctuating expression and trembled, afraid to speak.
Upon entering Konoha's territory, Lin Nan saw the iconic large green gate and vermilion walls from a distance.
No need to elaborate here. Every time Lin Nan saw this gate, a wave of sadness washed over him.
"Senpai, are we just going to walk in like this?"
Obito suddenly spoke.
Lin Nan was taken aback. Wasn't he a hero now? Did they still need to be sneaky?
Perhaps sensing Lin Nan's confusion, Obito said sincerely, "We're members of the world's number one mercenary organization, senpai. You know, the sense of mystery? You taught me that!"
"..."
Lin Nan glanced at the gate and said, "Konoha Village. If you walk in boldly, nothing will happen. If you're sneaky, they'll immediately arrest you as a spy!"
"Hearing you say that, it sounds like you've experienced it before!" Obito said casually.
Lin Nan glared at Obito, immediately silencing him.
Looking around, Lin Nan remembered that the outskirts of the village were covered by a special barrier. Outsiders would usually be detected the moment they entered.
He and Obito were dressed in standard Akatsuki attire. Even if they were seen, they should be invited in immediately, right?
Wait, was the Akatsuki a celebrity here? Would they be swarmed for autographs?
Lin Nan clearly remembered the fanaticism of fans in his previous life...
Thinking about it made him a little excited.
Compared to the deserted gate he saw in his previous life, this one was very lively, with an endless stream of people, like a marketplace, not at all like a ninja village.
Lin Nan watched from afar, and then his figure turned into a wisp of smoke. In the next moment, he transformed into someone wearing ordinary black robes.
He ultimately chose to abandon his Akatsuki attire.
With so many people, he was socially anxious!
Causing a traffic jam would be too embarrassing.
Seeing this, Obito also changed his attire using a transformation jutsu.
"I can't believe senpai is so low-key. This is the first time I've seen senpai in civilian clothes!" Obito chuckled.
In the previous world, he hated wearing the Akatsuki uniform. So, in this world, he liked wearing it?
That made sense.
Lin Nan had a standard East Asian face, around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with a medium-to-thin build. His hair was a bit long and messy from not being styled, giving him a Sasuke-like look.
Hmm... things were different now. Lin Nan could feel the smoothness of his hair.
Did his hair also reverse from the previous world?
Sasuke's hairstyle had become Itachi's.
Of course, none of this was important.
Passing through the bustling crowd, Lin Nan approached Konoha's gatehouse.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a loud shout startled Lin Nan.
Recognized?
This reaction was wrong!
"Hyuga, you can't use the Byakugan when playing cards. Do you think I didn't see your bulging veins?"
The sentence that followed made Lin Nan's forehead sweat.
This was not right. In the last world, he heard that these gatekeepers liked playing cards. Why did they like it in the Tsukuyomi world too?
He peeked discreetly. Damn, they were playing Mahjong!
Playing Mahjong during work hours?
Excuse me, are the Konoha gatekeepers still hiring?
They say the main gate of Konoha is full of hidden talents. Even Pain didn't dare to enter through the main gate. Now it seems to be true.
Lin Nan didn't immediately proceed with his so-called mission. Instead, he made an excuse for Obito to visit relatives first and entered Konoha's residential area alone.
In the original work, most of the plot happened here. To leave, he had to work through Konoha's rookie ninjas and the protagonist of this world, Naruto.
However, since the protagonist of Tsukuyomi Restricted wasn't Naruto, the boss naturally wouldn't be a black-hearted Naruto. It might be a black-hearted version of himself.
Regardless, starting with Naruto was the right move.
How he got out in the first place, he could follow the same steps.
Bypassing the Konoha gatehouse, Lin Nan watched Obito disappear into the crowd. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw someone walk into the gatehouse.
"You guys..."
As soon as the person entered, they spoke directly.
The guards were startled.
In Lin Nan's widened eyes, he saw the person wearing an ordinary green vest, with bandages on their arms and eyes, just like Obito.
Most importantly, on that wrinkled face, there was no gloom or coldness, only a smile full of warmth.
"You guys didn't even wait for me!"
The person exclaimed with a laugh.
This sunny smile, this benevolent expression, was he mistaken?
Disguise, it had to be a disguise.
Lin Nan's expression was stunned, but his hands were already unconsciously clenched.
The guards' laughter followed: "Captain Danzo, sorry about that. How about you join next round?"
That's right, this person was the security captain, Shimura Danzo!
"Boom!"
Lin Nan selectively ignored the rest of what was said.
I didn't kill you in my previous life, so you're lucky. In this life, you won't be so lucky!
Lin Nan exploded.
