Naruto: I Directed My Own Death

“War is a grand theater. Everyone is a puppet being manipulated, unable even to decide their own death.” “I admire Black Zetsu. It’s a fine screenwriter.” “But I… will be the director!” “The world will move according to my vision.” “To that end, death is no more than a passing chill.” The richest man in the shinobi world, the spiritual mentor of Akatsuki, the legend of the Warring States era, the immortal who grows stronger with every death, the Moon Princess’s close friend, the only man Hagoromo and Hamura ever acknowledged as their father: Lian Ye said this.
