Chapter 716: The Finals Commence!
A sigh escaped Fujin's lips as he realized, 'From this moment onwards, my memories will no longer be reliable.'
When he entered this world, Fujin prized his knowledge of the future very highly. Once he gained sufficient strength to thrive in this deadly world, he could use this knowledge to make immense gains. That was why he was always careful about his actions.
Fujin had long gained the strength to thrive in this world. Even though there were still existences who were stronger than him, Fujin was confident in his abilities. However, even though he calculated as much as he humanly could, there was one aspect that he couldn't control. As he continued gaining strength, his existence itself created ripples that would force any sane person to change his actions.
It was just like how Orochimaru decided against killing Rasa, even though he was ultimately forced to do the same. Fujin's existence would force others to make changes in their plans as they would have to consider his interference.
Fujin thought, 'Even though I messed quite a bit with the other hidden villages, I did my best not to mess much with Akatsuki. Even though I tried to kill Hidan once, it ultimately ended in a failure without much impact on the Akatsuki.
After this battle, things should calm down until the Akatsuki decide to take center stage. According to my calculations, they will target other Jinchurikis in the same way as in the original story. However, if Konoha takes minimal losses in this war, other villages won't let their Jinchurikis get taken away so easily. Konoha's strength will be too immense and they will feel threatened. Under such circumstances, they can't afford to lose their Jinchurikis.
So, Akatsuki will face quite a challenge while trying to capture the Jinchurikis. It could cause losses which may result in a serious impact on the future. If Onoki or Ay intercept them while they try to kidnap Roshi or Yugito respectively, it could cause severe repercussions.
In addition, Akatsuki's plans for Konoha will change as well. If I continue gaining strength at a similar speed, there is no way Nagato would dare to attack Konoha alone, even more so if Hiruzen stays alive. Considering all these factors, Akatsuki will be forced to make some major changes, whether it be recruiting more ninjas or something else.
Of course, even with all the changes, my knowledge of the future isn't useless. It is still precious, considering I know which events will happen in the future and the hidden abilities of so many rank S ninjas. It is just that I can't act blindly based on just those events and abilities as I could when Orochimaru attacked Naruto's team in the Forest of Death. Still…'
