Not long after the revisions were sent to Uchiha Obito.
Uchiha Obito: No way, it needs to be changed. This guy isn't nearly this handsome; he's just a quiet pervert.
Artist.. Fine, you're the patron, so you're right.
I've never met someone so moody; just how twisted is his personality? He goes from liking someone to hating them in an instant.
After being rejected countless times, Uchiha Obito finally nodded in satisfaction.
After receiving the money, the artist immediately blocked Uchiha Obito. Farewell to you! I'm never taking another commission from you again!
Dazai Osamu's eyes scanned the cover before he began to open the book to read. Writers inevitably incorporate their own experiences into their writing, especially first-time authors, who tend to easily pour their personal experiences into their stories because they have no reference points.
Then let him take a look and see exactly where these suddenly arrived Uchiha come from.
At the beginning of the novel, Uchiha Obito took the editor's advice, reducing the book's rigor and increasing its fun and readability.
Kakashi's life at the Ninja Academy was extensively depicted, downplaying the aspects that could be described as a brutal wartime background.
In the early stages of the story, Kakashi's characterization at the Ninja Academy was that of a cold and aloof genius. However, due to the presence of Uchiha Obito and Might Guy, many unexpected and amusing incidents occurred, the conflicts between these three individuals introduced various concepts of Ninjutsu and Taijutsu.
Especially Uchiha Obito, who was mocked by Kakashi for being a dead last despite being part of the genius Uchiha Clan, which led to the introduction of the novel's most important setting: the Bloodline Limit.
Perhaps ordinary readers, upon seeing the descriptions of these ninjutsu, would only think the author made them up, at most marveling at the author's vast imagination. But for Dazai Osamu, who had once seen Uchiha Madara brutally beat Nakahara Chuuya, these descriptions were reality.
Chakra, so that is the name of that group's power, Dazai Osamu noted the term and continued reading.
Although the background of the war was downplayed, it still existed. Because of his genius strength, Kakashi graduated early from the Ninja Academy. However, after witnessing his father sacrifice his life while protecting his comrades and being driven to death by the accusations of others for abandoning a mission, he began to prioritize mission completion above all else, causing his reputation in the village to gradually deteriorate.
When writing the segment about Hatake Sakumo's death, Uchiha Obito would constantly bring up Danzo and the Elders. He had been in contact with Danzo for so many years that the man had plenty of dark history in his hands; just pulling out a few pieces of it would be enough to write a lot.
Dazai Osamu, who was once an executive of the Port Mafia, could watch without changing his expression, but many ordinary readers couldn't help but curse Danzo after reading it.
Bah, "the Root of Konohagakure"? He's more like a parasite.
People always change. Perhaps when Danzo first established Root, he truly believed that he was the hidden foundation buried deep beneath Konohagakure, but as his power grew, he relied on the Third Hokage's indulgence to fuel his expanding ambitions, using the excuse of protecting Konohagakure to grow his own strength by any means necessary.
Although Kakashi's reputation was poor, his strength was beyond doubt; he was definitely among the top tier of his peers.
Therefore, the Third Hokage's direct disciple, Minato, became Kakashi's Jonin leader, leading to the formation of the later infamous three-man ninja team consisting of two males and one female, with the members of Minato's team including his classmates, Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin.
Uchiha Obito's efforts caused Kakashi's hardened heart to melt just a little; if things continued this way, perhaps Kakashi would eventually be able to integrate with his comrades.
War waits for no one. Before such a moment could arrive, Uchiha Obito had half his body crushed by rocks while trying to save Kakashi. In his final moments, he gave his Sharingan to Kakashi, overturning Kakashi's priority of completing the mission.
After this battle, the White Fang that his father left behind was shattered, Kakashi decided to make the Sharingan left by his comrade flourish, using it to commemorate the deceased Obito.
However, the tragedy did not end there. After losing his comrade Uchiha Obito, Kakashi soon lost his second comrade, Nohara Rin, he was the one who had killed her with his own hands.
Even his mentor, Minato, who had always comforted him, perished during the Nine-Tails' Rebellion.
During this period, Kakashi was incredibly depressed and drifted away from his peers, even spending his time reading books like "How Ninjas Die."
Readers who read this far might find themselves unable to hold back their tears, while those with shorter tempers might want to send the author blades, saying, "Do you have a personal grudge against the protagonist? He's such a talented and handsome young man, yet you insist on arranging one tragedy after another for him."
But none of this could touch Kakashi; he became famous throughout the Shinobi World under the name Kakashi of the Sharingan, creating a reputation as the Copy Ninja who could replicate thousands of different ninjutsu.
In Kirigakure, one of the five great hidden villages alongside Konohagakure, the Mizukage sat in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on a piece of intelligence, as he murmured that name, "Kakashi.."
In the final chapter, while Kakashi was standing at the Memorial Stone to reminisce about his comrades, a mysterious person wearing a mask appeared beside him, peeking at him from behind a tree.
The scene shifts to Amegakure, where the mysterious man appears. Beside him is a creature that looks like reeds; they are standing behind a rock, observing the three people in front of them.
“How do you plan to persuade Nagato?” the reed-like creature asked the mysterious man.
Tell him the truth.
The mysterious man stepped out from behind the rock.
"Who are you?" The three of them watched the suddenly appearing masked man with vigilance.
Uchiha Madara.
The first part of Naruto has come to an end.
After finishing the book, Dazai Osamu's expression was hard to describe, his gaze lingering on the mysterious person who appeared at the end of the novel, Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Obito, who was crushed under the rocks while saving Kakashi.
Tobi, the strange Whirlpool Mask man and Kakashi's junior in the Anbu.
The Mizukage, who showed unusual interest in Kakashi, the mysterious man who seemed to be the final boss, Uchiha Madara—the descriptions of these individuals flashed through his mind one after another, eventually connecting into a single thread.
If it really was as he thought.. Dazai Osamu's expression became increasingly difficult to describe.
“Nakahara-kun, is there something wrong with me?” Uchiha Obito spoke up unexpectedly.
No." Nakahara Chuuya gave an awkward laugh. "Why do you suddenly ask that?
Oh? Uchiha Obito raised an eyebrow. "Then why are you staying so far away from me?"
Nakahara Chuuya froze for a moment, only then realizing that while Big Sister Kyouka and Uchiha Obito were discussing the mission together, he had unconsciously drifted closer and closer to Kyouka.
At that moment, Ozaki Kyouka snapped her fan open, covering half of her face, leaving only her eyes visible as she stared at Nakahara Chuuya's answer.
It has nothing to do with you, Obito-san. It's because.." Being stared at by the two of them, Nakahara Chuuya came up with something on the spot, "Ah, it's entirely because I was raised by Big Sister Kyouka since I was little, so I'm used to standing by her side.
Uchiha Obito gave a half-smile. "As long as it's fine. I thought I had done something unforgivable to make you want to stay as far away from me as possible."
Although it wasn't something unforgivable, it was close enough. Nakahara Chuuya couldn't help but think of what Dazai Osamu had said to him last night.
Dazai Osamu was sent to Nakahara Chuuya's home by Uchiha Madara. Nakahara Chuuya had originally intended to just give him a beating and be done with it, but he didn't expect Dazai Osamu to cling to him completely. He eats his food, lives in his house, spends all day coming up with ideas to tease him. He wants to shake him off, but he just can't!
Fortunately, Dazai Osamu had washed his reputation clean and reached the shore a while ago. Now that he had a job during the day, he finally had a chance to catch his breath.
Last night, as soon as he got home, Dazai Osamu rushed over to ask, "Slug, are you and that Uchiha Obito colleagues?"
Don't call me Slug," Nakahara Chuuya snapped back reflexively. "As for Uchiha Obito, yes, he and I are indeed colleagues. Wait, why are you asking about that?
He looked at Dazai Osamu suspiciously, wondering if the other man was trying to extract information about the Port Mafia from him.
Dazai Osamu saw through Nakahara Chuuya's concerns at a single glance. "What is there to consider? If I wanted to extract information from you, do you think you could hide it?"
“To me, slugs have no secrets at all,” he said with a hint of pride.
Nakahara Chuuya's teeth itched slightly. Even though his past experiences told him that what Dazai Osamu said was indeed the truth, it still sounded quite unpleasant. Didn't this just prove that he was being completely suppressed by Dazai Osamu?
“Since you're so confident, why did you even ask me about Uchiha Obito?” Nakahara Chuuya snorted.
"I just don't want you being targeted by a pervert." Dazai Osamu blinked, pretending to be concerned for Nakahara Chuuya.
"What pervert?" Nakahara Chuuya frowned.
“Look at this.” Dazai Osamu picked up the book *Naruto* in his hands. “This is a book written by Uchiha Obito.”
“Look at this part here..”, he analyzed carefully for Nakahara Chuuya, “That's why these several are actually just one person. Your colleague, Uchiha Obito, is nothing more than a split-personality freak.”
"No way, you must have guessed wrong!" Nakahara Chuuya was extremely shocked by Dazai Osamu's analysis.
Dazai Osamu was displeased by Nakahara Chuuya's skepticism. "My guesses have never been wrong."
Although Dazai Osamu was somewhat unreliable, his analysis was never wrong. In other words, Uchiha Obito was indeed.. Thinking this, Nakahara Chuuya silently moved even further away from Uchiha Obito.
Uchiha Obito was somewhat speechless at Nakahara Chuuya's words, but before he could say anything, someone came over to inform him that Uchiha Madara had something to discuss with him. He could only give up on his questioning and go find Uchiha Madara.
Once Uchiha Obito had left, Ozaki Kyouka finally spoke, "Come here, Chuuya."
"Big Sister Kyouka." Nakahara Chuuya flashed a pleasing smile.
"Speak, what exactly is going on?" Her beautiful eyes stared at Nakahara Chuuya. Since Uchiha Obito had been there just now, she hadn't been able to say much, but how could she not know what kind of person the child she raised was? Nakahara Chuuya was clearly hiding something.
Telling Sister Kyouka shouldn't be a problem, Nakahara Chuuya thought to himself as he relayed Dazai Osamu's analysis from last night to Ozaki Kyouka.
Humanity's essence is curiosity. Ozaki Kyouka was greatly shocked by Nakahara Chuuya's words. She hadn't expected that the guy codenamed Lord Tobi, who looked so grim and inscrutable, was actually such a person behind his back. One truly cannot judge a book by its cover.
"Where can I buy that book called Naruto?" Ozaki Kyouka suddenly developed a profound interest in the origin of everything that had happened.
"It seems every bookstore sells them," Nakahara Chuuya replied.
"Alright, I'll go buy a copy to read as well," Ozaki Kyouka nodded.
“Ancestor, do you have something for me?" Uchiha Obito walked into the leader's office.
"I'm giving you a mission!" Uchiha Madara sat in his chair, upon seeing Uchiha Obito enter, he tossed a piece of paper to him.
"Why does it feel like the missions the old man has been giving me lately have become more difficult?" Uchiha Obito muttered to himself while looking at the mission in his hands.
Eh, this mission!" Uchiha Obito looked up in shock, "Ancestor, are you sure you want me to do this?
What's the problem? You've done it once before anyway," Uchiha Madara said calmly in the face of Uchiha Obito's questioning. "You did quite well without doing it last time.
Fine." Uchiha Obito shrugged. Since his ancestor had put it that way, what more could he say? "Then I'm leaving.
From beginning to end, he hadn't noticed that there was a book on Uchiha Madara's table, which was none other than his own novel, "Naruto".
Upon hearing that the novel written by Uchiha Obito had been released, Uchiha Madara also picked up a copy to take a look. While others might still find certain plot points a bit vague and confusing, one look at this book was enough for him to know exactly what the other man had been up to.
Uchiha Madara gave a cold laugh. So, all those years while he was dead, Uchiha Obito had been busy doing this.
I told you to prepare for the Moon's Eye Plan for the Fourth Shinobi World War, instead, you went and spied on your elementary school classmates.
Heh, since you were slacking off whenever I gave you work in the past, you can just go and work obediently now.
Because of Uchiha Izuna's framing, Mori Ougai was sent abroad by Uchiha Madara and stayed there for a long time.
It wasn't until the matters involving Uchiha Izuna and Senju Tobirama were exposed and Uchiha Madara shifted his attention that Mori Ougai found an opportunity to return. At this moment, he was leading the business partners he had found abroad to report information to the leader, Uchiha Madara.
“Madara-san, my report is complete.” Mori Ougai said respectfully. He was always capable of adapting to any situation; even when facing someone who had ousted him from his position and sent him abroad, he could show not even a hint of resentment.
Uchiha Madara nodded, letting him stand behind.
The partner Mori Ougai brought back was dressed in black; as he walked up to Uchiha Madara, he suddenly pulled a dagger from his robe and lunged at Uchiha Madara.
A smile played at the corners of the man's mouth; at this distance, the opponent would definitely be unable to dodge.
However, what the man in black did not expect was that the dagger in his hand actually passed straight through Uchiha Madara's body, piercing Mori Ougai behind him.
Mori Ougai??
Meanwhile, at the Armed Detective Agency, the president, Fukuzawa Yukichi, was also targeted in an assassination attempt by an unidentified individual.

Author's Note: Dazai Osamu: Let me see what kind of person this guy is.
Closing the book, he is a split personality stk!
