Chapter 39: A Ninja Greater Than the Fourth

"There was never any war; he orchestrated it all!"

"He comes from the rift between time, space, light, and darkness; he should never have entered this world."

"He is called a god! He accepts their worship, turns them into slaves, and fulfills his desires."

Reading these words, Naruto became increasingly confused about what this person was actually saying.

Why did looking at these characters feel like staring at scribbles made by a ghost?

Outside the light curtain, Tsunade and the others suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.

At first,

this person was recording events steadily.

But after coming into contact with the God's Tear, everything changed.

The subsequent text was nothing but the ramblings of a madman losing his mind.

Moreover,

judging by the meaning of the final sentence on this page,

it seemed this person had discovered some terrifying secret.

It was as if this god had fabricated a lie.

He created those unclean ones and destroyed the world.

Yet those few madmen were eager to seize the treasures of the Red Sea.

Either to bring the god down into this world, or to seize the treasures of the Red Sea to create unclean ones and rule the world.

By now, Naruto had already turned to the last page of the diary.

"He emerged from within the stone; through some method, he knew where they were, but he simply could not touch them."

"But if you hide the stone, you can't get out either; you're just trapped inside too. I found you! You son of a bitch, I found you!"

"I touched him, with my fists, and with my gun!"

"He fell! But he will rise again, soon. I'm sorry, I've done everything I could; now let me sleep."

"Please... let... me... sleep."

Konoha.

Looking at these words,

one of the ninjas couldn't help but tremble all over.

Gazing at the final passage, Tsunade kept murmuring softly under her breath.

"Could it be that, to prevent the god from entering his world, he actively sought out the god and even launched an attack against him?"

Thinking of this,

Tsunade raised her head to glance at the ninjas behind her.

Although she trusted the ninjas of Konoha deeply,

every human harbors fear, especially when facing a god.

Although Tsunade had always refused to believe in the existence of gods, after the recent incidents at the Anomaly Containment Facility,

she had slowly begun to believe in all manner of unrealistic things.

So, when facing a god, would these jōnin, who had weathered countless storms, feel fear?

Would she herself feel fear?

Perhaps, when many people encountered such a situation,

the only courage left to them would be the courage to flee.

Yet, the ninja from this Anomaly Containment Facility dared to actively seek out the god.

Relying solely on a single spear, he dared to challenge a god.

How was this different from the Fourth sacrificing his life generously for Konoha back then?

Furthermore, it was obvious that the opponent faced by this ninja from the Anomaly Containment Facility was far stronger than the Nine-Tails of those days.

Tsunade was very curious: what kind of organization was this Anomaly Containment Facility exactly?

What sort of people were under their command!
