Chapter 642 My Lord, we are all law-abiding citizens now.
Naruto walked on the empty street, his footsteps echoing dully on the gray pavement.
Parker followed at his feet, tail drooping, without uttering a sound. The swordsman lay on the roof, his amber eyes overlooking the silent village, his tail tip gently tapping the tiles.
"Pakkun," Naruto said, "don't you think we made a mistake?"
Puck said, "Actually, it's not so bad. They got what they wanted, and Konoha is quiet now. Want to grab my paw pads?"
The puppy didn't know how to comfort Naruto, but his adorable paw pads could certainly warm people's hearts.
Unfortunately, Naruto is no longer a child, but what he doesn't know is that most people enter nightmares instead of pleasant dreams.
This is Sasuke's punishment after examining people's hearts; those who harbor malice and whose souls have become twisted do not deserve redemption.

Meanwhile, in the world outside Konoha, Shisei Aburame was standing atop a solitary peak.
A fist-sized sphere floated in front of him, entirely white, with countless fine golden specks flowing inside, like stars compressed into a bead in the night sky.
This is a magical artifact that he spent several months crafting, and he named it the Eye of Heavenly Surveillance.
Orochimaru stood behind him, his face filled with an indescribable excitement. "With this, spatial barriers will be under your control. Anything that tries to cross the barrier will be locked onto, tracked, and even invaded from the opposite direction."
"Hmm." Aburame Zhicheng put the Eye of Heaven into his palm, the white crystal blended into his skin, leaving a golden mark on the back of his hand.
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet some old acquaintances." Aburame Shisei's lips curled up slightly.
Orochimaru was somewhat surprised, but he guessed that Zhicheng-kun must have found something through the Eye of Surveillance.
"Alright!" Orochimaru replied with a smile.
The two used spatial teleportation to arrive in front of a mansion villa.
At that moment, Layman Guoxin was carrying a coffee cup and wearing a bathrobe as he walked out of the room.
Amado, who was behind him, also came out in his bathrobe, muttering, "I told you not to touch the books on my bedside table, I'll tidy them up myself..."
He froze in place, just like Guoxin Jushi, halfway through his sentence.
On the other side, Ada and her siblings also peeked out of the room, but after seeing who it was, they pulled their heads back in.
Orochimaru's eyes lit up. Weren't these people the remnants of the Kara organization?
"Shisei Aburame, you've finally arrived." Ada stepped out of the room again and spoke first, her face full of sincerity.
Aburame Shisei's gaze swept across each face. He didn't sense any hostility, but what surprised him more was why they were dressed like that.
Orochimaru, in particular, looked surprised. He hadn't expected that Kashin Koji and Amado would be sharing a room and wearing the same bathrobes. This was big news!
"It seems you've already made up your minds," said Shisei Aburame.
Amado stepped forward, took out a sealed scroll from his pocket, and presented it to Aburame Shisei with both hands.
"This contains a complete list of the remaining resources of the Kara organization. It includes all research data, material reserves, and... some data left behind by Isshiki Otsutsuki. We are handing it all over."
Aburame Shisei took the scroll and asked, "Why send Kawaki to Konoha?"
"You knew it all along!" Master Guoxin sighed, just as they had expected.
"That was a will, a soul. He demanded that we send Kawaki to Konoha. We always thought he wanted to use Kawaki's coordinates to lure you there."
As for why they didn't just send the coordinates of Konoha directly, it's because they didn't want to expose themselves to Shisei Aburame.
Aburame Shisei frowned slightly. "So as you know, I will completely refine Otsutsuki Isshiki and obtain the coordinates of his ki."
Then it has to be said that they are suspected of getting rid of a hot potato.
Delta walked out of the room. "We never intended to help Isshiki Otsutsuki from the beginning. We just stood on the wrong side at the wrong time. Now we just want to go back to normalcy and live our lives quietly."
After she finished speaking, she looked at her father, Amado.
Amado and the others quickly and tactfully knelt down on one knee, and Ida's brother also came out of the room and did the same.
Yu Nu Zhicheng waved his hand, signaling them to get up. The family of five tactfully stood up and stood in a row.
"You can live here on your own. I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. In fact, you could have come to me earlier."
The five nodded in agreement, indicating their belief, but whether they truly believed it was another matter, given the deeply ingrained image of the devil in their minds.
Aburame Shisei also sighed slightly. Actually, he was a good person. It seemed that these people were the villains in some sense.
After everyone returned to their rooms, Aburame Shisei kept Sanzu Amado behind and questioned him about the corpse of Otsutsuki Shibaju.
He stated that the corpse had been used up, but he had backups of the divine magic data inside, all of which were in the data he had just handed over.
He also formally stated that he never intended to betray Aburame Shisei's research organization, but at the time he was coerced by Otsutsuki Isshiki and his wife's mysterious death.
He was thrown into chaos, and only after finding out the reason did he finally understand. However, after receiving the news, all he wanted was to live a good life with his current family.
Aburame Shisei didn't know whether he was being sincere or not, and he didn't care whether he was sincere or not. However, for a top scientist, living was always more useful than dying.
Kashin Koji, standing to the side, felt somewhat uneasy looking at Orochimaru's familiar mocking face.
Why are you staring at me like that?
"Admit it, you possess Jiraiya's memories. I just didn't expect you to change your tastes in your later years."
"I don't know what nonsense you're spouting." Guoxin Jushi stopped joking around, finished his coffee, and turned to go back to his room.
The two stopped arguing. On their way back, Orochimaru suddenly said, "Shicheng-kun, wasn't it the Sage of Six Paths who's been causing all this trouble behind the scenes?"
"Maybe, maybe not." Aburame Shisei also had some things he couldn't understand. The Sage of Six Paths should know that he could find spatial coordinates through the Otsutsuki Isshiki's seal. If it really was him, why would he put Kawaki in Konoha?
Afterwards, they went to great lengths to hide Konoha, even losing the Asura Realm in the process. Could it be that the two brothers wanted to join forces with the resurrected Otsutsuki Isshiki?
I don't think that's very likely!
"After all, I still don't understand what their intentions are."
Now that you put it that way, I'm a little confused too.
