Chapter 171: The mouth-to-mouth persuasion is successful, and Hoshigaki Kisame joins.

On top of the tower, Itachi smiled.

"Long time no see, Kisame!"

In the water, Hoshigaki Kisame heard Itachi's voice and was simply in disbelief.

How can this be?

Isn't Mr. Itachi already dead?

Hoshigaki Kisame thought he was dazzled and even rubbed his eyes. Naruto saw it and laughed, "Hey, hey, what are you still standing there for? Come up!"

As he spoke, Naruto stretched his hand downward.

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

With a chirp, Hoshigaki Kisame was sucked out of the water by Naruto.

After landing, Hoshigaki Kisame still maintained combat alert, facing Naruto. Itachi took the initiative to step forward, looked at Hoshigaki Kisame and said: "Kisame, are you okay?"

Hoshigaki Kisame took a few steps back and said viciously: "Mr. Itachi is already dead, you fake guy! I never thought that Naruto, in order to make me loyal to you, you specially brought a fake Uchiha Itachi here!"

Naruto laughed and looked at Itachi and said, "Itachi, you better prove it."

Itachi nodded, then opened his Mangekyō Sharingan and looked at Hoshigaki Kisame.

"Kisame! Look at me!"

Kisame was caught off guard and fell into Itachi's illusion.

In the illusion, Itachi showed Hoshigaki Kisame all the scenes he saw of himself interacting with Naruto.

After a few seconds, Hoshigaki Kisame understood everything.

"I see. Itachi-san is indeed dead, but he was resurrected by Kabuto through the Impure World Reincarnation. Naruto, you actually used the legendary Sage Technique to revive Itachi-san!"

Hoshigaki Kisame looked at Naruto, full of shock.

"Naruto, you're even crazier than that guy!"

Naruto looked at Hoshigaki Kisame and said, "At least, I won't escape from reality. Obito wanted to create a world without hypocrisy, hatred, and disputes. There is nothing wrong with this ideal. His mistake is that he pulled everyone into a dream world!"

Before Naruto could finish, Hoshigaki Kisame retorted: "Facing this hypocritical world, although the world of dreams is fake, it is much better than living in this painful world!"

Naruto shook his head and said, "No!"

He came in front of Hoshigaki Kisame, looked at him and said, "I think that instead of dreaming about a fake world, we should transform this hypocritical world together. A true ninja is one who recognizes the hypocrisy of this world, but still chooses to love this world and face it bravely!

Instead of escaping from this world like Obito, hiding behind the mask forever and controlling everything!"

Hoshigaki Kisame looked at Naruto's determined gaze, then looked at Itachi who was following Naruto, and became silent.

Naruto continued: "What's more, Obito's dream is simply a beautiful lie. This lie was woven for him by someone, but he doesn't even know it!"

"what!!!"

Hoshigaki Kisame widened his eyes, and even Itachi looked at Naruto curiously.

Nagato smiled.

Naruto crossed his arms and said, "Obito's Moon Eye Plan, also known as Uchiha Madara's Moon Eye Plan, is said to be the Six Paths Sage's technique to bring world peace. In fact, that is not the case at all!"

Itachi frowned and asked, "What is that?"

Naruto looked at Itachi and said, "Itachi, think about it, what is the difference between the jutsu that makes the whole world fall into a dream and your illusion? Isn't it just an enlarged version? Is your illusion real? What is the purpose of your illusion? After the illusion is cast, is there a good result for the object receiving the illusion?"

Yes!

A word to awaken the dreamer.

As a master of illusion, Itachi was completely awakened by Naruto's words. He murmured, "There must be a purpose behind casting illusions. Entering the dream is just to make it easier for the caster to control it!"

Naruto snapped his fingers and said, "Very clever! Because we are getting closer to the truth of the Moon Eye. In fact, the purpose of performing that large-scale illusion is just to collect the chakra of all mankind. The purpose is to revive an ancient person!"

"Resurrect an ancient person???" Hoshigaki Kisame didn't understand, but was very surprised.

This, this, this...

His worldview is changing rapidly.

Naruto looked at Hoshigaki Kisame and said, "Kisame, what do you say? Do you want to continue pursuing that fake dream, become a pawn on someone else's chopping board, and finally become a piece of fish? Or do you want to follow me and transform this hypocritical world!"

Hoshigaki Kisame was in hesitation because Naruto's words touched him, especially that sentence: A true ninja is one who realizes the hypocrisy of this world but still chooses to love this world and face it bravely!

Seeing that Hoshigaki Kisame was still hesitating, Naruto continued to talk back, "Don't forget what you promised me. Now, I have done it, Itachi. I was going to be resurrected anyway, and you said you didn't believe it!"

Naruto pointed at Itachi and said, "I can bring the dead back to life and the Sage Technique, so I can also change this world!"

Itachi also looked at Kisame and persuaded him: "Kisame, I choose to believe Naruto. Since you and I have died once on principle, then this time, let's live for ourselves!"

Hoshigaki Kisame smiled bitterly and said: "Live for yourself!"

Itachi looked at Kisame and said, "If you don't want to face Obito and the others for the time being, then you can do the same as me. Put on a mask and use your heart to look at the world and Naruto and see how he changes the world!"

Itachi looked at Naruto, and Kisame also looked up at him.

"Okay, Mr. Itachi, I choose to believe you!"

Then, Kisame looked at Naruto fiercely and said, "Naruto, I can only be regarded as a cooperative relationship with you at most. I trust Mr. Itachi. As for your thoughts, I will wait and see!"

When Naruto saw that Kisame had joined the group, he smiled and said, "Very good. On behalf of Yugakure, I welcome you to join us. From today on, you are a member of the Ten Organization. From now on, we will be companions!"

Looking at the hand that Naruto extended to him, Kisame was stunned for a moment.

Companions? Village?

Something that I once discarded is now handed back to me by someone else.

Itachi looked at the dazed Kisame, grabbed his hand and held it with Naruto's.

"Mr. Itachi?!"

Itachi looked at Kisame and said, "Kisame, believe me, your choice will not be wrong!"

Kisame smiled slightly.

It's great to have Mr. Itachi back.

Finally, I don’t have to carry out the mission alone.

"Oh, by the way, Naruto, there's one more thing, you have to return Samehada to me!"

Naruto was a little embarrassed and said awkwardly: "I agree to give it back to you, but Samehada may not like you anymore!"

Kisame: "Nani? (owo?)!"
