The numerical oddity in Naruto

Cui Jian traveled through Naruto with the 4399 Krypton Star System and became Uchiha Fugaku. After gaining the power of truth, he struck hard at men and was submissive to women. Unknowingly, he unified Naruto, became invincible in his generation, invincible in his kind, invincible in the world, and invincible in the sky, starting a magnificent life.

The numerical oddity in Naruto
1. The beginning of the journey
“Become the nourishment of nature”
“Gaia! Whoever wants to play this rubbish game can go ahead!” Cui Jian, who had just been reset by Gaia and lost three games in a row, roared in despair in front of the computer. At this moment, there seemed to be a blazing fire in his heart, a mixture of unwillingness and frustration, which made him feel extremely depressed. With this roar, he danced with excitement, as if he wanted to release all the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart. However, this carelessness caused the water cup on the table to lose balance, and it was shaky and eventually fell down inevitably.
The water in the cup fell out like beads from a broken string. Some of it splashed on Cui Jian’s face, bringing a hint of coolness, but it could not extinguish the anger in his heart; some of it slowly flowed along the table, gradually gathering into a stream and flowing towards the edge of the table. Cui Jian watched all this happen, but was powerless to stop it. He secretly regretted that if he could control his emotions, perhaps such an accident would not have happened. But at this moment, he was already overwhelmed by anger.
The water finally dripped onto the power strip under the table, making a crackling sound, as if protesting against the sudden intrusion. A flash of electricity passed through, and Cui Jian suddenly felt paralyzed, as if he was frozen in place by a spell, unable to move. His heart was filled with astonishment and helplessness, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind: “What happened? Why was I so impulsive? I will never put water in a cup again next time.”
Perhaps, this accident will become a small episode in his life, making him more cautious and less impulsive when he is excited in the future.
“Uh, water…” Cui Jian opened his eyes with difficulty. The strange and white ceiling in front of him made him feel confused and uneasy. He struggled to get up, but felt weak all over, as if he was pressed down by a heavy object. “Where am I?” He tried to recall what happened before, but there was only a blank. At this moment, a severe headache came like lightning, and he couldn’t help but groan.
As the headache worsened, strange memories flooded into his mind. The images were strange yet familiar, confusing and frightening him. He saw himself traveling through a bustling city, seeing strange faces and sights, and hearing strange voices and conversations. These memories were like a fast-playing movie, overwhelming him.
Suddenly, a huge vortex appeared in his mind, sucking all his thoughts into it. He felt dizzy, as if the whole world was shaking. With a snap, Cui Jian fainted again. At the moment he lost consciousness, he was filled with doubts and uneasiness, not knowing what he had experienced or what he would face in the future.
Two days later, Cui Jian stood alone by the lake at the Uchiha training ground, his eyes looking into the distance, his heart was full of ups and downs. He never thought that he would travel to the world of Naruto, a place full of fantasy and danger that made him feel at a loss. “How can I live in this crazy world!” He sighed in his heart, recalling that before the travel, he was browsing some embarrassing content with his mobile phone browser, and he had not had time to clear the chat history. This made him worry whether his “innocence” in the other world would be overshadowed.
However, despite being depressed, Cui Jian quickly adjusted his mentality and began to try to accept this established fact. He realized that since he had come to this world, he might be able to start a new life here and experience unprecedented adventures and challenges. At this moment, a clear child’s voice broke Cui Jian’s thoughts: “Dad, come home for dinner.” He looked up and saw a little kid with two tear grooves running towards him in the distance. That was his new identity in this world – the father of Uchiha Weasel, the current head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku.

Dad, let’s go home for dinner. Uchiha Itachi’s childish voice came again. Cui Jian turned and looked at the black-haired little boy, feeling mixed emotions. In the original work, this 7-year-old child would end the entire family with his own hands in two years, but now he depends on himself like an ordinary child. Although Uchiha Itachi later destroyed the entire Uchiha clan, which was quite against heaven, and did not spare any family members, friends, or ambiguous people, it should be said that his talent is worthy of recognition. Cui Jian secretly made up his mind to control Uchiha Itachi well. After all, he was being used, and it didn’t matter who used him. If he really couldn’t use him, he could make some contributions to my Eternal Mangekyo.
Cui Jian stared into Uchiha Itachi’s clear eyes, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He knew that this child would walk on a dark and lonely road in the future. But now he has become a part of his life. Perhaps this is also a kind of arrangement of fate.
Seeing Cui Jian staring at him, Uchiha Itachi lowered his head in embarrassment, with a shy smile on his face. He took Cui Jian’s hand, shook it gently, and said, “Dad, let’s go home quickly, Mom is still waiting for us.”
Cui Jian came back to his senses, squatted down, gently rubbed Uchiha Itachi’s head, smiled and said: “Okay, one against seven, let’s go back.”
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the two of them, casting long shadows. They walked side by side on the way home, Uchiha Itachi jumped from time to time, looking particularly happy. Cui Jian silently guarded by the side, and secretly vowed in his heart that no matter what the future holds, he would try his best to change the fate of this child. Thinking of this, Cui Jian smiled at Uchiha Itachi and said, “Okay, one against seven, let’s go back.”
“I’m ready to eat” ×3. At the dining table, Uchiha Mikoto took out a hospital checkup form and happily handed it to Uchiha Fugaku (Cui Jian would uniformly write Fugaku from now on). “Ana, I’m pregnant again.” Fugaku thought to himself, “This should be the second pillar. In this case, Uchiha Dance King should have died not long ago, and Uchiha Kenji is excited to make trouble.” Fugaku laughed heartily, “Great, one against seven, you’re going to have a younger brother.” “Dad, what’s the name of the younger brother?” “Purple Dog, no, just call him Sasuke, Uchiha Sasuke. I hope he will become an excellent ninja like Master Yuan Fei Sasuke in the future.”
“I’m going to eat” This sentence was repeated three times at the table. Uchiha Mikoto’s face was filled with a happy smile. She carefully took out a hospital examination form from her handbag and handed it to Uchiha Fugaku who was sitting opposite. “Ana, I’m pregnant again.” She announced softly, with an expectant light in her eyes.
Fugaku took the checklist, and his thoughts drifted away instantly. This child should be Nizhuzi. The timeline gradually became clear in his mind. Uchiha Dance King should have died not long ago, and Uchiha Kenji was excited to make trouble at this moment. Fugaku remained calm on the surface, but his heart was already turbulent.
He raised his head and his hearty laughter echoed in the restaurant: “Great, one against seven, you’re going to have a brother.” As soon as he finished speaking, the one against seven at the table blinked curiously and asked, “Dad, what’s the brother’s name?”
Fugaku pondered for a moment, and many ninjas appeared in his mind, and finally settled on a legendary figure. “Purple Dog, that’s not right,” he laughed at himself, and then said firmly, “Let’s call him Sasuke, Uchiha Sasuke. I hope he can become an excellent ninja like Master Yuan Fei Sasuke in the future.”
The seven of them nodded, not quite understanding, and were full of anticipation for their younger brother who was about to arrive. Mikoto smiled with satisfaction, stroking her slightly bulging belly, as if she had seen hope for the future. The entire restaurant was immersed in joy, as if even the air had become warm and sweet.

3. Goldfinger Startup (Old Version)
The night was as dark as thick ink, shrouding the entire Konoha Village in silence. The moonlight shone through the half-closed curtains and sprinkled into Uchiha Fugaku’s bedroom, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. Fugaku lay on the bed, his body slightly curled up, but his eyes were as bright as torches, flashing with thoughts and uneasiness about the future. His hands tightly grasped the corners of the quilt, and his knuckles turned slightly white due to the force, as if he was trying to grab something.
Sasuke and Naruto will be born in a year. Time seems to pass silently, silently reminding Fugaku that the world he lives in is slowly moving forward along the established trajectory. According to the original plot, the night of genocide is still 8 years away, but now that he has traveled through time, the future may be different. Variables are like reefs hidden in the undercurrent, which is unpredictable. Deep in Fugaku’s heart, an indescribable sense of heaviness follows him like a shadow. He knows that he is shouldering the responsibility of changing his destiny, but the road ahead is full of unknowns and dangers.
Although Uchiha Fugaku himself is not weak, and with the intelligence advantage of a time traveler, Fugaku can fully use modern knowledge to further strengthen himself in various ways. However, he still feels a little uneasy deep in his heart. After all, before traveling through time, Fugaku was just a college student with clear eyes. Even if he is given a perfect configuration, can he really use it perfectly? The world of Naruto is different from that of Pirates. Even though the dance king is powerful, he has overturned twice at critical moments. Thinking about the two times, he felt cold behind his back. Although he worked hard to improve, the value is limited after all. Fugaku smiled self-deprecatingly. No matter how much he improves, the value will not be as high as those top strong men. At present, Fugaku only has a pair of ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan, which can only be regarded as a medium-level Kage level in terms of value. If the operation is combined with the pull, it may barely reach the Kage level, which makes Fugaku feel like walking on thin ice.
Fugaku knew that in this dangerous world, existing strength alone was far from enough. It would be nice if there was a cheat, Fugaku thought with a wry smile. Countless possible “golden finger” scenarios emerged in his mind, from mysterious ninjutsu secrets to powerful artifacts. Every thought made his heart beat faster, but was quickly extinguished by the cruelty of reality. He closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down, but the anxiety in his heart surged like a tide, making him unable to rest.
At this moment, a slight buzzing sound suddenly sounded, as if it was a signal from another world. Fugaku opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a flashing login interface suddenly appeared in front of him. It was the “4399 Krypton Star” that he was so familiar with. His heartbeat instantly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of his chest, and an inexplicable excitement surged in his heart. Fugaku tried hard to suppress his inner excitement and not let himself show it too obviously, for fear of waking up his wife Mikoto who was sleeping beside him.
“Ana, what’s wrong?” Mikoto asked blearily, rubbing her eyes, a hint of sleepiness in her voice.
“Oh, nothing, my leg is cramped, you can go back to sleep.” Fugaku answered perfunctorily, trying to keep his voice calm. He sat up carefully, gently pulled the quilt over Mikoto, then turned slightly to the side, took a deep breath at the login interface in front of him, and tried to calm down.
He slowly stretched out his shaking hand and carefully clicked the login button. The familiar login interface appeared in front of him again, with familiar icons and colors, as if bringing him back to the virtual world he had immersed himself in countless times. Fugaku secretly guessed the real purpose of this cheat. After all, this is just a pet battle game. You can’t really let yourself use the Yabi Ball to catch summoning beasts and fight pet battles with enemies, right?
After entering the interface, a robot flew out of the interface. It turned out to be HELLO Butler. It said in a cheerful tone: “Master, due to the influence of time and space turbulence, some data was unfortunately lost in the black hole. But fortunately, the function of the Xinghui Yabi Summoning Array has been completely preserved.”
A flash of surprise flashed through Fugaku’s mind, but it was quickly replaced by caution. He asked curiously, “How do I get the Starlight Abi Summoning Scroll?” His voice trembled slightly, but he tried to stay calm.
HELLO the butler patiently explained: “There are two ways to get it. The first way is through daily tasks, but since the task data has also been lost, it is temporarily unavailable. The second way is to purchase it with star coins.”
Fugaku was a little confused: “Star coins can be obtained by recharging. According to the currency of this world, 10,000 silver notes can get one Austrian coin, and 1 Austrian coin can be exchanged for 10 star coins.”
HELLO The butler nodded: “That’s right, master. And 1 summoning scroll only costs 100 star coins.” Fugaku said in surprise: “100 star coins! Then if I want a ten-draw, I will need 1 million silver notes! A ten-draw is at least the full reward for a single S-level mission! You are really worthy of it, Krypton.” There was a hint of helplessness and ridicule in his voice, but his eyes were shining with anticipation.
HELLO The butler smiled and said, “Master, don’t worry, other valuable items can also be exchanged. And now there is a chance for a free ten-draw streak. Would you like to use it now?”
Fugaku’s eyes lit up and he said without hesitation: “Need I say more? Of course use it now!” There was a slight tremor in his voice, as if he had already seen hope for the future.
With a flash of light, ten cards appeared in front of Fugaku. His heartbeat was as rapid as a drum, and his hands trembled slightly as he reached for the cards. “Turn them all over.” He said softly, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation in his voice.
“Congratulations, Master. This time you have drawn the Oracle of the Supreme Crown, the Queen of Truth, Abi Exchange Coins x 147.” The cheerful voice of HELLO, the butler, sounded in Fugaku’s ears.
Fugaku’s face was filled with excitement, and he held the card of the Queen of Truth tightly in both hands, as if he had grasped the key to his destiny. He didn’t care about the exchange coins, after all, the Queen of Truth was no less powerful than those origin gods and creators of the universe on Aura Star. His heart was filled with excitement and expectation, as if he saw a brand new future for himself in this cruel world.

4. Huge improvement (old version)
Fugaku’s hands trembled slightly as he tightly grasped the card that was emitting a faint glow. The appearance of the Queen of Truth seemed to open the door to a new world for him.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and quickly recalled HELLO the butler’s introduction to the truth.
The Queen of Chaos Truth is the incarnation of the Gate of Truth, symbolizing the Oracle of the Supreme Crown. She has witnessed the passage of time and the various changes in the world, and through the revelation of the Oracle of Truth, she guides those who have lost their way back to the truth.
“Supreme Crown: Adds fixed damage equal to your current physical strength x 0.5.
Eternal Youth: Take the initiative and attack all enemies, ignoring 66% of the target’s general defense.
Serving the King is like serving a tiger: 50% of the damage dealt during a critical hit is converted into recovery and the critical hit damage is permanently increased by 50% (up to 150%).
Peerless Grace: Normal attack, power 1000×2 times in the whole field, damage increases with the number of rounds.
Graceful and Elegant (Chaos Star Skill): The power of the skill is doubled when fighting against men, and the number of stages of damage is reduced each round when fighting against women (5-number of women on the opponent, lower limit 1 stage); Actively trigger the chaos state for 5 rounds, double the value of all attributes of the enemy, and absorb all attributes of the enemy at level 1 each round. And when in the chaos state, the damage to the self is reduced by 80%”
Fugaku thought to himself, “These skills are simply incredibly powerful, especially the Supreme Crown and Graceful Elegance,” Fugaku raised his head and looked firmly at the HELLO butler in front of him.
“Master, you can now summon the Queen of Truth and merge with her.” There was a hint of anticipation in the voice of HELLO the butler.
Fugaku nodded, slowly closed his eyes, and began to concentrate. He could feel a strong energy surging in his body, as if something was resonating with the depths of his soul. After a moment, he opened his eyes, and there was an unprecedented light in his eyes.
“The fusion is complete.” There was a hint of excitement and confidence in Fugaku’s voice.
“Congratulations, Master. The power of the Queen of Truth has been perfectly integrated with you. You can now try to use her skills.” HELLO the butler said cheerfully.
Fugaku stood up and walked to the window. The moonlight shone on his body, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. He slowly raised his hand, feeling the powerful force in his body.
He silently recited Chaos Transformation in his heart, and in an instant, an unparalleled momentum filled the whole room. Based on Fugaku’s original Kage-level strength, after all attributes doubled, Fugaku naturally had a kind of unparalleled ambition. Indeed, at this moment, he really stood out from the crowd in these five minutes. However, although Chaos Transformation is extremely powerful, it has a limit of only once a day, but this is enough to influence the power structure of Konoha. In addition, there is the unique effect of the skill of “Be with the King Like a Tiger”, which can not only cause critical damage, but also convert damage into self-recovery. Even if Hashirama Senju is reborn, it is difficult to match him in terms of sustained consumption.
Although I haven’t reached the level of not eating beef yet, it’s enough for me to bully others in Konoha. It’s time to make my own voice heard in Konoha. Thinking of this, Fugaku closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
In his dream, he seemed to see himself standing at the highest point of Konoha Village, declaring his ideals and aspirations to everyone. His voice resounded through the sky, shaking everyone’s heart. People cast surprised glances at him, they couldn’t believe that this man who had been unknown for a long time actually had such a strong power and firm belief.
Fugaku showed a satisfied smile on his face. He knew that this was just a dream, but the scene in the dream gave him endless courage and strength. He firmly believed that as long as he did not give up and kept working hard, one day the scene in his dream would become reality.
5Convene a clan meeting (old version)
As night fell quietly, the atmosphere in the Uchiha clan training ground in Konoha Village was solemn and mysterious. On the high platform, Uchiha Fugaku stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes like torches, quietly looking down at every clan member below the stage. The venue of the clan meeting was solemn and dignified, and the clan members sat below the stage, looking forward to Fugaku’s upcoming speech. The flames around jumped and flickered, illuminating everyone’s faces, and the air was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere.
Fugaku took a deep breath, knowing that the news he was about to announce would have a profound impact on the future of the family. The eyes of the clan members were full of expectation and curiosity. They speculated on the purpose of Fugaku’s convening of the clan meeting. Some older clan members even whispered whether it was related to the recent turmoil in Konoha Village.
“My fellow clan members,” Fugaku’s voice was firm and powerful, echoing clearly throughout the venue, “I have called you here today to show you a new kind of power. This power will bring unprecedented opportunities to our family.”
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent. The tribesmen held their breath and waited attentively for Fugaku’s next words. Fugaku slowly closed his eyes and began to concentrate. After a moment, he opened his eyes again, and there was an unprecedented light in his eyes. A pair of Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly appeared, and in an instant, a powerful aura emanated from him, and the atmosphere in the entire venue instantly became tense.
“Those are the same eyes as Madara-sama!” There was an uproar in the audience, and the tribesmen were talking to each other. Some people’s eyes were shining with excitement, some were full of shock, and some were a little skeptical. Fugaku knew that he needed to further explain this power to dispel the tribesmen’s doubts.
“Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me.” Fugaku’s voice was loud and steady, and the clansmen gradually quieted down. Fugaku continued: “As you can see, I have successfully opened the ultimate power of the Uchiha clan and obtained the Mangekyō Sharingan. This power is not only a powerful eye technique, but also a symbol of glory for our Uchiha clan. With this power, we will gain more respect and voice in Konoha Village.”
He paused, his eyes slowly sweeping over everyone present, “But I hope everyone can understand that strength is not used to show off or to provoke disputes, but to protect our family, so that the Uchiha clan can better survive and develop in this ninja world.”
The audience fell silent again, and the clan members nodded thoughtfully. Uchiha Shigeru, the elder of the Uchiha clan, stood up and said, “Clan leader, this power is indeed strong, but how should we use it?”
Fugaku smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, Elder. I have already made a detailed plan. First, we will strengthen our cooperation with Konoha Village and use this power to make more contributions to the village and win the trust and support of the village’s upper echelons. At the same time, we will also conduct rigorous training within the clan to enhance the strength of each clan member and make the Uchiha clan an indispensable part of Konoha Village.”
The clan members all nodded in agreement after hearing Fugaku’s words. They saw determination and wisdom in Fugaku’s eyes, and also felt his detailed plan and strong confidence in the family’s future.
“In addition,” Fugaku’s eyes suddenly became serious, “I solemnly remind everyone here…”
6 Accepting Shisui as a Disciple (Old Version)
Fugaku’s eyes were as deep as a pool, as if he could see into people’s hearts. He raised the Hokage Rock Paper Scroll in his hand, which was the spiritual heritage left by his ancestors. “This document records in detail the whole process of the Uchiha and Senju joining forces to establish Konoha,” he said in a deep and powerful voice, “from working together in the turbulent times of the ninja world to engraving the vision of peace into the foundation of Konoha. Every page is soaked with the blood and dreams of the Uchiha people.”
He stood up and walked to the window. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the beautifully carved clan emblem like molten gold. The metal emblem of Konoha’s forehead protector shone with a cold brilliance in the twilight. “Although Lady Tsunade has experienced many hardships, her will is still as solid as a rock,” Fugaku turned to look at the clan members, with unquestionable firmness in his voice, “The contribution of the Uchiha has never been interrupted by misunderstandings. From the day and night protection of the police force to the secret dedication of the Anbu intelligence network, our clan emblem has always shared the honor and disgrace with Konoha.”
Shisui looked at the night view behind the clan leader dyed red by the sunset, and an unprecedented sense of mission surged in his heart. He remembered the secret he overheard from the clan elders when he was young – the first Hokage personally gave the first Konoha forehead protector to Uchiha Kagami. At that moment, Madara’s eyes were like burning flames, and Hashirama’s hands that handed over the forehead protector were full of calluses but as steady as a rock. There was also the glorious battle example of the Uchiha Anbu winning the Second Shinobi World War with fewer troops. Those shadow ninjas hidden in the flames of war used their lives to weave a big net to protect Konoha.
“The true meaning of the Will of Fire lies in protection, not in the struggle for power.” Fugaku’s voice penetrated the silence, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the tribe members. “The biggest regret of Uchiha Madara-sama in his later years was that he could not see the peaceful prosperity of Konoha with his own eyes. Before his death, he gave the secret “Teachings of Fire” to Hashirama. This manuscript is now in my study. The handwriting on it has faded with time, but those mottos about unity and sacrifice are still shining. Before the duel in the Valley of the End, Madara-sama stared in the direction of Konoha and whispered: ‘This is the dream that Hashirama and I have woven together.'”
As soon as the clan leader finished speaking, three long horn sounds were heard in the distance. Shisui recognized that it was Konoha’s unique evening prayer call. The clear notes spread in the twilight, and he suddenly realized that those notes were echoing the peace movement composed by the Uchiha and the Senju. In the twilight, he vaguely saw that in the depths of Fugaku’s Sharingan, the same sky color as that of the Senju Tobirama was flowing – that was the light of protection that transcended blood ties, interwoven into an eternal flame in the genes of the Uchiha and the Senju.
“Shisui, you are the leader of the new generation of the family. Your talent is unquestionable, and your will of fire is obvious to all.” Fugaku’s voice became deeper in the twilight. He turned slowly, and the moonlight outlined the outline of his silver hair. “Are you willing to become my disciple? The future of the family needs us to pass it on from generation to generation. I didn’t bring it up before because I was afraid of delaying you, but now it’s different. I think I am qualified to be your teacher with the Mangekyō. With your talent, I think it won’t be long before the family will have a second pair of Mangekyō.” Shisui’s heart shrank suddenly. He could feel the weight of the clan leader’s proposal. He took a deep breath and looked up to meet the pair of Sharingan. The eyes that had witnessed the founding of Konoha were now staring at him. “I am willing. I misunderstood the clan leader before. I didn’t expect that the clan leader had such a deep understanding of the will of fire.” His voice was filled with excitement that could not be concealed. “Uchiha should not only be bound by power, but should become the eternal flame that protects Konoha.” Fugaku raised a gratified arc at the corner of his mouth. He patted Shisui’s shoulders lightly, and his palms conveyed warm strength. “Very good, Shisui.” He said softly, with endless expectations in his voice, “The future of Uchiha will be written by us together.
7. Teach Itachi and Shisui (Old Version)
The setting sun was like blood, covering the Uchiha training ground with a layer of golden gauze. Fugaku stood alone in front of the stone tablet in the center of the field. The stone tablet was engraved with the heroic deeds of the Uchiha clan in the founding of Konoha. The stone surface had been slightly weathered by the erosion of time, but every knife mark seemed to be whispering. His black hair danced lightly in the evening breeze, and his back was stretched out like a silent monument. In the distance, returning birds flew across the sky, leaving behind a series of lively silhouettes, adding a bit of vitality to this slightly silent scene.
“Shisui, Itachi.” Fugaku’s voice was deep and powerful, like a call from ancient times, echoing over the training ground, and every word seemed to carry a heavy weight. “Today, we are not only here to train, but also to pass on the glory of the Uchiha clan.”
Shisui walked quickly to Fugaku, his black eyes flashing with awe of the will of fire, his eyes focused and deep, as if he wanted to engrave everything in front of him into his heart.
The young Itachi followed behind him, with the youthfulness and curiosity unique to a teenager, his eyes full of admiration for his brother and the clan leader, and his clear eyes concealed a longing for the future.
Fugaku turned around and faced the two of them, tightly grasping the Hokage Rock Paper Scroll in his hand. This was the spiritual heritage left by his ancestors. The years had left traces of vicissitudes on the scroll, but they could not conceal the heavy history it carried.
“The glory of Uchiha is not only the brilliance of the Sharingan, but also everything we have done for Konoha.” His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of the two brothers and causing ripples in their hearts.
He told how the Uchiha police force had protected Konoha’s peace under the moonlight, and how the Uchiha ancestors hid in the flames of war and used their lives to weave a protective network. “Every sacrifice, every dedication, is the Uchiha’s unchanging commitment to Konoha.”
Fugaku’s voice was filled with endless pride, a pride that went deep into his bones, for the family he belonged to, for their dedication and perseverance. “The power of the Uchiha clan will always be the shield of Konoha’s heart.” Fugaku brought Shisui and Itachi to the secret room at the edge of the training ground, where the history of the Uchiha clan was displayed. He gently stroked the yellowed paper, his fingers gently running over the traces of time, as if touching the pulse of history.
Fugaku motioned for Shisui to come closer, and used his Sharingan to project phantoms of the Uchiha predecessors on the battlefield.
Those phantoms danced in the air, as if the vivid history was replayed before their eyes. Fugaku turned to look at Shisui, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes: “Shisui, try to recall the sacrifices of your ancestors, and feel the emotion of burning yourself for Konoha. The Uchiha are a clan of love, and love is the key to opening the Mangekyo.”
Shisui closed his eyes, and the image of his ancestors fighting to protect Konoha emerged in his mind. He could feel the strong emotions surging in his heart, as if there was a flame burning.
Shisui took a deep breath and closed his eyes again. This time he focused more on feeling the emotion. Everything around him seemed to disappear, leaving only him and the emotional fluctuations in his heart.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of determination in his eyes: “Chief, I seem to have some feeling. Although it is not completely successful yet, I can feel that my Sharingan is changing!”
“Very good, Shisui, that’s right!”
Fugaku patted Shisui’s shoulder, his eyes full of praise, “Remember this feeling and keep working hard. And you, Itachi,” he turned to Itachi who was observing quietly at the side, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, “your task is to use three days to record the ten secret contributions made by Uchiha ancestors to Konoha. This will help you understand us Uchiha more deeply.”
Itachi nodded slightly, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes: “I understand, Father!”
Fugaku gently touched Itachi’s head, his eyes full of fondness: “Itachi, I believe you can do it. After all, you are my son.”
Afterwards, Fugaku led the two to the observation deck high above the training ground.
“The future of Uchiha will be written by us together.”
Shisui and Itachi stood beside Fugaku, looking at the red sunset in the distance, with an unprecedented sense of mission in their hearts. They knew that at this moment, they were not only training, but also taking over the torch of Uchiha inheritance and becoming the eternal flame to protect Konoha.
8. Will of Fire (Old Version)
As night fell, the living room of the Fugaku family was enveloped in warm lights, making it particularly cozy and peaceful. The wooden floor glowed softly under the lights, and several Uchiha clan crests hung on the wall, adding a solemn atmosphere. The dining table was filled with a sumptuous dinner, and the steaming food exuded an enticing aroma.
Fugaku sat at one end of the table, his silver hair was particularly dazzling under the light, and his eyes revealed a hint of seriousness. Shisui and Itachi sat at the other end of the table, both of them with a hint of tension on their faces. Shisui glanced at Fugaku from time to time, while Itachi tightly grasped the chopsticks in his hand, as if thinking about something.
Fugaku coughed lightly, breaking the silence at the table. “Shisui, Itachi, today I want to talk to you about Sarutobi Hiruzen.” His voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to hit the two brothers’ hearts heavily.
“Sandaime-sama? The strongest Hokage of Konoha, who protected the peace of Konoha during his tenure. He is the greatest Hokage.” There was a hint of confusion on Itachi’s face, and there was a hint of nervousness in his voice.
Fugaku nodded, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
“Itachi, after listening to my opinion of Sarutobi Hiruzen, think about what kind of person Sarutobi Hiruzen really is.”
There was a hint of indignation in Fugaku’s voice, and his eyes became sharper.
“As the direct disciple of the Nidaime, Sarutobi Hiruzen was tasked with protecting the Nidaime and was appointed the captain of the guard. However, at the critical moment when the Ninja World War was drawing to a close, the guard he led escaped unscathed, while the Nidaime, known as the “Speediest Man in the Ninja World”, unfortunately died heroically. Such a mission result should have been considered a serious failure of execution, and Sarutobi Hiruzen should have resigned after returning, but he actually claimed to have been recognized by the Nidaime and inherited the position of the Sandaime Hokage. This is simply trampling on the legacy of the Second Hokage. Think about Shigesaku Hatake again. He was talked about by the villagers because of his failed mission, and there were constant rumors. Isn’t Sarutobi Hiruzen “rising to prominence” without doing anything? You know, the position of Hokage has never been someone who can become one if he wants to. Only those who are recognized by everyone are qualified to become Hokage. The First and Second Hokage both won the recognition of everyone with their own strength and prestige to sit on the throne of Hokage. Even the Fourth Hokage, who is about to take office, became Hokage because he is loved and supported by everyone. “
There was a hint of sarcasm in Fugaku’s voice, as if he was disdainful of Sarutobi Hiruzen’s incompetence.
“How could this be?” Itachi couldn’t help but complain, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.
“During Sarutobi Hiruzen’s reign, Konoha seemed to be prosperous, but in fact it harboured many hidden dangers. The three ninjas of Konoha, his disciples, were all extremely powerful and prestigious, but now, which one of them is still left in the village? Even his own disciples are disloyal to him, how can we Uchiha be convinced? Not only did he fail to bridge the differences, but he harbored deeper suspicion of the Uchiha, causing the conflict to intensify. He has never treated every ninja who fought for Konoha fairly. How can such a Hokage lead Konoha to true peace and prosperity?” Fugaku was worried and confused about the future of Konoha.
“Sandaime-sama has been looking for a solution.” There was indignation in Shisui’s words, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Fugaku’s argument.
“If he really has a solution, how come the conflicts are still the same? He has been in power for many years, and these conflicts did not arise overnight. What measures has he taken? What results have he achieved? If he really wants to solve the problem, he should first clean up his own house and eliminate people like Shimura Danzo who have ill intentions towards Uchiha. How can we resolve conflicts if we allow such people to stir up trouble in the top levels?” Fugaku’s words were sharp and went straight to the heart of the matter.
“Father, do you think Sarutobi Hiruzen really didn’t make any effort to resolve the conflict?” Itachi suddenly spoke, with a hint of confusion and curiosity in his voice, and his clear eyes revealed that he was seriously thinking about his father’s words.
Fugaku shook his head slightly and turned his gaze towards Itachi, with a glimmer of approval in his eyes: “To judge a person, we should not look at what he says, but what he does. He did make some superficial efforts, but those measures were either only temporary solutions, or were distorted by those with ulterior motives during the implementation process. His policies lacked real decisiveness and fairness. At times, in order to stabilize the situation, he even sacrificed the interests of the Uchiha to appease other forces. Is this the right decision to solve the problem?”
Shisui fell into deep thought. He understood the clan leader’s position, but he still struggled a little inside: “Sarutobi Hiruzen also made some contributions in the Ninja World War. Although he didn’t have such a glorious military exploit as the Nidaime, at least he always held on to the position of Hokage and worked hard for the reconstruction and development of Konoha.”
Fugaku nodded slightly, agreeing with Shisui’s opinion: “Yes, he did contribute to maintaining the superficial peace of Konoha, but looking at the entire ninja world, the responsibilities of the Kage are by no means limited to this. At the critical moment of the Ninja World War, the Kages of other villages all took the lead and charged forward. In order to cover the retreat of the troops, the Sandaime Raikage held back tens of thousands of Iwagakure by himself, and his heroic and fearless behavior is still praised today. And what about Sarutobi Hiruzen? He chose to stay at the negotiation table, and for the so-called ‘false name of peace’, he easily sold out the interests of Konoha and put his own village on the brink of danger. If it weren’t for the strong opposition of everyone, how could he have resigned and handed over the position of Hokage to someone else.”
“Then what should we, the Uchiha clan, do? How can we change this situation?” Shisui asked again, with a determined light in his eyes. He was eager to fight for the glory of his family.
“This is not something you should consider right now. Your current mission is to work hard to become stronger. Your battlefield is in the future. The reason I tell you this is because I’m worried that you might be deceived by Sarutobi Hiruzen.”
9. Encounter with Minato Namikaze (old version)
The next morning, Konoha Village was enveloped in a light golden glow. The sun shone through the mist onto the bluestone-paved path, as if the ground was coated with a warm halo. The trees on both sides of the street swayed gently in the breeze, making rustling sounds, as if they were whispering. The early birds chirped happily on the branches, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet morning. The villagers opened their doors and windows one after another and started a new day of busyness. The air was filled with the fresh aroma of freshly baked bread and flowers and plants.
Fugaku walked slowly on the road leading to the guards. His black hair shone softly in the morning light, like a wisp of gauze fluttering in the wind. He was wearing a dark Uchiha clan uniform, and his sleeves fluttered gently in the wind, making him look particularly calm and solemn. His face was calm, with a hint of worry between his brows, but his deep eyes were shining with a firm light, like two bright stars twinkling in the night sky. Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, a hearty laugh came from the front, as pleasant as a clear spring.
Namikaze Minato, the ninja who was loved by the villagers, was surrounded by a group of children.
His short blond hair shone with a warm luster in the sun, and his face was filled with a kind and friendly smile. Minato half-crouched, patiently listening to the children’s questions, sometimes gesticulating with excitement, sometimes laughing heartily, and his relaxed appearance was like a big brother next door, sharing interesting stories with the children.
“Brother Minato, are you really the future Fourth Hokage?” A little girl with a ponytail tilted her head back, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
“Yes, but I don’t want you to think I’m superior.” Minato smiled and ruffled the little girl’s hair, his eyes full of pampering. His eyes suddenly swept through the crowd and finally collided with Fugaku’s. His clear eyes lit up instantly, and he stood up and nodded slightly to Fugaku, motioning him to come over.
Fugaku came back to his senses from his thoughts, and walked towards Minato with steady and calm steps through the bustling crowd.
Every step he took seemed exceptionally steady, as if each step was measuring his expectations and determination for the future.
“Minato, good morning.” Fugaku smiled slightly, his voice low and gentle, with a hint of smile. He stood beside Minato, his eyes swept across those childish smiling faces, and a long-lost warmth rose in his heart.
“Hey, Mr. Fugaku, good morning!” Minato’s voice was full of energy. His eyes stayed on the children for a moment, then turned to Fugaku, with a trace of concern in his eyes.
“Are you going to the guard?”
“Yeah, there’s some business that needs to be taken care of.”
Fugaku nodded slightly, and his eyes fell back on Minato. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, as if he was weighing something, and finally he spoke,
“Minato, I heard that you are going to become the Fourth Hokage. First of all, congratulations in advance.”
“Mr. Fugaku, you are so polite.”
Minato waved his hand, a humble smile on his face, but his eyes were shining with determination, “I still have a lot to learn, but with the support of a powerful family like the Uchiha, I am more confident.”
“It’s not because the Uchiha will support you, but because you have the strength and charm to deserve the support of the Uchiha.” Fugaku said solemnly, staring at Minato and speaking word by word, “Your fairness and courage are obvious to everyone. You are the YYDs of our Konoha!”
Minato’s eyes trembled slightly, as if Fugaku’s words touched a string deep in his heart. He lowered his head and said softly: “Mr. Fugaku, you are too kind. I still have many shortcomings.”
“Minato, the future of the Uchiha clan also relies on you.” Fugaku’s voice was low, with a hint of unquestionable firmness.
He patted Minato’s shoulder, and at that moment, a deep expectation flashed in his eyes, as if he saw the Uchiha clan ushering in a new dawn under Minato’s leadership.
Minato raised his head and met Fugaku’s gaze, with a hint of determination in his eyes. “Don’t worry, Mr. Fugaku, I will prove with my actions that your trust is worthy.”
Fugaku smiled slightly, with a hint of relief and hope in his smile. He turned around and continued walking, looking at the gradually receding figure of Minato Namikaze, thinking to himself that perhaps under Minato’s leadership, Konoha and the Uchiha clan would usher in a new turn. Minato stood where he was, following Fugaku’s figure with his eyes until he disappeared in the morning light.
10.Arrival Guard (Old Version)
However, just as he was about to reach the guard department, he was stopped by a scene in front of the gate. A group of villagers were surrounding the guard department, their voices were noisy and angry, as if they were having a heated argument.
Fugaku watched from afar. Some of the people in the group had red faces, and some were pointing in the direction of the security department, as if accusing someone of something.
“Aren’t the Uchiha people too strict in enforcing the law? They use the Sharingan to intimidate people at every turn. How can we ordinary villagers stand such threats!”
The voice of a middle-aged man was particularly harsh. He stood at the front of the crowd, his hands on his hips, his face full of indignation. “That’s right, who do the Uchiha think they are? Konoha is not their private territory, why do they give us orders!”
Another villager echoed, his eyes revealing dissatisfaction.
“Last time, I just took a second look at them in the market, and I was surrounded by a group of Uchiha brats. I almost broke my legs!”
An old man, leaning on a cane, shouted at the top of his lungs, his face full of fear and anger.
“Yes, when they enforce the law, there is no humanity at all. They only care about the rules, as if we are all unforgivable criminals!”
A woman also joined the argument, shaking with anger and pointing in the direction of the security department.
“The Uchiha people only know how to bully honest people like us. I don’t know what the village is thinking. They actually let them manage the guard team!”
Another man interrupted, his face full of disdain and resentment.
“That’s right! Those Uchiha guys act like high and mighty nobles. What do they think of us? Konoha is everyone’s village, not the world of the Uchiha family!” Another villager echoed loudly.
The quarrel grew louder and the emotions in the crowd became more and more excited.
Fugaku stood aside, his black hair fluttering gently in the breeze, his face remained calm, but a hint of complex emotions flashed in his deep eyes.
He did not rush forward, but just observed everything quietly, as if thinking about something.
Finally, the quarrel reached its climax.
A young villager lost control of his emotions, rushed to the gate of the security department, and banged on the closed door.
“Listen up, Uchiha people! We’ve had enough of your bullying! Either someone else enforces the law, or we go on strike!”
He shouted, his voice threatening.
There was a burst of cheers from the crowd, and many people echoed his proposal, making it very loud.
Fugaku finally stepped forward, his steps were steady and calm, and every step seemed particularly firm. He came in front of the young villager, his silver hair shimmering softly in the sun, like a veil fluttering in the wind. “What are you doing?”
Fugaku’s voice was deep and powerful, standing out in the noisy crowd. His eyes were calm and firm as he stared at the emotional young villager.
“You are the leader of the Uchiha clan, right? If you don’t give us an explanation today, we won’t be able to rest in peace!”
The young villager glared back at Fugaku without flinching, anger evident on his face.
“I understand your dissatisfaction, but besieging the security department is not the solution to the problem.”
Fugaku’s voice remained calm, his eyes swept across everyone’s face.
“We, the Uchiha clan, have been working hard to protect Konoha. This is the power given to us by the Second Generation. We, the Uchiha clan, have always performed this guarding role perfectly and have never made any mistakes. Since you are so dissatisfied, I now have every reason to suspect that you are a spy from an enemy country, and you are here to destroy the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the villagers. Come, take him back for interrogation.”
The quarrel stopped abruptly and the voices in the crowd disappeared instantly.
The villagers were stunned. They didn’t expect Fugaku to take such a sudden measure. The air seemed to freeze, and everyone’s eyes were focused on Fugaku and the young villager.
“You…you can’t do this!”
The young villager’s voice began to tremble and a trace of fear appeared on his face.
“take away.”
Fugaku’s voice was cold as ice, and two Uchiha guards quickly stepped forward and took the young villager away.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and the villagers left with mixed emotions.
11. Ninja Village Spy (Old Version)
Fugaku stood outside the interrogation room, his black hair fluttering gently in the breeze. His face remained calm, and there was a hint of coldness in his deep eyes.
He slowly raised his hand, gently pushed open the door, and walked into the small and dark room.
Inside the room, the young villager was tied to a chair, his face full of fear and anxiety, his eyes looking around panickily.
“You…you can’t do this to me! I’m just here to ask for an explanation!” The young villager’s voice was trembling, and there was a hint of pleading in his eyes, as if he was looking for the last glimmer of hope.
Fugaku did not respond immediately, but walked forward slowly with steady steps.
Each step seemed particularly firm, as if each step was measuring his indifference to the world. He came in front of the young villager, his black hair fluttering gently, like a veil floating in the wind, his eyes calm and firm, looking directly into the other’s eyes.
“No one can lie in an Uchiha interrogation room.”
Fugaku’s voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to hit the young villager’s heart hard. “We have a way to make you tell the truth.”
The young villager’s face turned pale and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
“I…I really didn’t do anything!” His voice was filled with tears, and his body was shaking slightly. “Really?” Fugaku smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness in his smile, “Then why are you so dissatisfied with Uchiha? Why did you incite the people at the gate of the guard department?”
“I just… I just can’t stand their bullying!” The young villager’s voice began to become weak, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Fugaku nodded, his eyes flashing with a cold light. “Do you think you can get away with this?” His voice was still calm, but it revealed an unquestionable majesty, “Our Uchiha interrogation methods are not what you can imagine.”
He clapped his hands lightly, and two Uchiha guards walked into the interrogation room and stood behind him. Their eyes were cold, and the kunai in their hands flashed coldly under the light. “You have one last chance.” Fugaku’s voice was low and powerful, “Confess where you are a spy, and maybe you can save your life.”
The young villager’s face turned pale instantly, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes. He knew that he had no way to escape. “I… I am a spy from the Hidden Rock Village… They sent me to sow discord between the Uchiha and Konoha villagers…” The young villager’s voice began to tremble, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes, “They said that as long as the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha intensifies, Konoha will fall into chaos…”
Fugaku nodded, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. “Go on.”
The young villager took a deep breath and his voice gradually calmed down. “The Iwagakure Village has been looking for opportunities to weaken Konoha. They believe that the Uchiha clan is a powerful force in Konoha. If they can allow another Uchiha Madara to appear in the Uchiha clan, it will pose a huge threat to the Iwagakure.”
“So, they sent you to sow discord?” There was a hint of coldness in Fugaku’s voice.
“Yes… I followed their instructions, creating trouble in the market, spreading rumors, trying to make the villagers dissatisfied with the Uchiha.” The young villager’s voice became lower and lower, and his eyes revealed a trace of regret. “Do you have anything else to say?” Fugaku’s voice was still calm, but it revealed an unquestionable majesty. The young villager shook his head, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. “I… I just acted according to orders, I’m just a small role…”
Fugaku nodded, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
“Take him away and deal with him according to the village’s rules.” His voice was cold as ice and two Uchiha guards quickly stepped forward and led the young villager out of the interrogation room.
Fugaku turned and left the interrogation room, his black hair fluttering gently in the breeze, like a wisp of gauze fluttering in the wind. He walked into his office, sat in front of the large desk, sighed softly, leaned back in his chair, and looked out the window unconsciously. (These villagers are really troublesome, but it’s okay, I can take this opportunity to teach those fools a lesson.)
Fugaku thought to himself, his eyes revealing a hint of coldness. (The Uchiha clan cannot always be misunderstood. This time, everyone must see the truth.)
At the same time, in the training ground of the Guard Department, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi were training. Shisui’s Sharingan rotated in his eye sockets, observing Itachi’s every move. Itachi flexibly dodged Shisui’s attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.
“Brother Shisui, you are amazing!” Itachi said breathlessly, his eyes full of admiration.
“Itachi, you must not underestimate yourself.” Shisui responded with a smile, his eyes revealing encouragement for his brother, “You have unlimited potential. As long as you keep working hard, you will definitely surpass me.”
“I will!” Itachi nodded firmly, fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.
Itachi swore secretly in his heart, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
Just then, Fugaku walked into the training ground. His appearance caused Shisui and Itachi to immediately stop their training and salute respectfully.
“Father.”
Shisui and Itachi said in unison.
“Continue training.” Fugaku nodded, his eyes lingering on the two of them for a moment.
“I just interrogated the villager who was causing trouble at the gate of the guard department. He is a spy from the Iwagakure Village.”
“A spy from the Hidden Rock Village?” Shisui frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
“Yes.” Fugaku nodded, “Their goal is to sow discord between our Uchiha clan and Konoha, attempting to plunge Konoha into chaos.”
Fugaku smiled slightly and turned to leave the training ground.
He knew that the future of the Uchiha clan was in the hands of these young generations. As long as they could inherit the will of the Uchiha clan, the Uchiha clan would never be defeated.
In the Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hiruzen was handling daily affairs. His face was calm, and his eyes revealed a hint of fatigue.
When he heard that Uchiha Fugaku had interrogated the villager and found out that he was a spy from the Iwagakure Village, his expression instantly became serious.
“Spies from the Iwagakure?” Hiruzen frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes, “Why do they want to sow discord between the Uchiha and Konoha?” (The Iwagakure is playing with fire, the Uchiha clan is not so easily provoked.)
Hiruzen thought to himself, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
“This may be a means for the Hidden Rock Village to weaken Konoha’s strength.” Shimura Danzo whispered, his eyes revealing a hint of sinisterness, “We must take measures to prevent the situation from getting worse.” “Danzo, what do you mean?” Hiruzen turned his gaze to Danzo, his eyes revealing a hint of vigilance. “We can take this opportunity to strengthen the monitoring of the Uchiha clan and prevent them from doing anything that is detrimental to Konoha.” There was a hint of coldness in Danzo’s tone, and his eyes flashed with a calculating light.
(Danzo is targeting the Uchiha clan again. He always distrusts them.) Hiruzen thought to himself, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.
“The Uchiha clan has always been an important pillar of Konoha. We cannot easily doubt them.” Hiruzen shook his head, his eyes revealing a hint of determination, “I will talk to Fugaku and find out the details.”
“Huruzen, do you really believe that there is no problem with the Uchiha clan?” Danzo sneered, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain.
His eyes flashed with determination. “I believe in the loyalty of the Uchiha clan to Konoha.” Hiruzen’s voice was deep and powerful, and his eyes flashed with determination. “We can’t doubt our companions just because of the instigation of some spies.”
Danzo didn’t say anything else, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
“You’re going to regret this, Hiruzen.”
“I am the Hokage, Danzo.”
Bang! Danzo walked out of the Hokage Building.
“Sandame-sama, I am here today for the safety of Konoha.” Fugaku got straight to the point, his dark eyes looking straight at Hiruzen, “Recently, spies from the Iwagakure Village have infiltrated Konoha to sow discord, attempting to intensify the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the villagers. Their real purpose is to weaken Konoha’s internal unity and plunge Konoha into chaos. This behavior has seriously threatened the safety and stability of Konoha.”
“I hope that Lord Hokage can agree that the guard team will increase control efforts, conduct more stringent screening of suspicious persons, and at the same time strengthen intelligence gathering to prevent the conspiracy of the Iwagakure Village from succeeding.” Fugaku’s tone was firm, as if every word was carefully considered.
“I understand your concerns, Fugaku, but you know that overly strict control may cause panic among the people. The peaceful situation that Konoha has managed to maintain with great difficulty cannot withstand such a shock.” Hiruzen shook his head slightly, his eyes full of worry.
“Panic?! Sandaime, the espionage activities of the Iwagakure Village have posed a direct threat to the security of Konoha. If we do not take decisive measures and allow them to continue to undermine Konoha’s internal unity, that will truly plunge Konoha into a greater crisis. Then not only the Uchiha clan, but the entire Konoha will pay the price.” Fugaku’s voice suddenly rose, and there seemed to be flames burning in his black eyes.
“The espionage activities of the Iwagakure Village have seriously threatened the security of Konoha. We cannot ignore the overall interests of Konoha because of the instigation of some villains. If we do not take action, it would be truly irresponsible to Konoha.”
Hiruzen’s eyes flickered slightly, he sat down again, and looked at Fugaku deeply: “Do you really think that increasing control can solve the problem?”
“At least it can curb espionage activities to a certain extent and reduce the damage caused by the Iwagakure Village to Konoha.” Fugaku’s tone slowed down slightly, but his eyes remained firm.
Hiruzen was silent for a moment, and when he looked up again, his eyes were full of determination: “Okay, I agree to increase the control.”
“I agree, it’s all for Konoha.” Fugaku nodded slightly, his black hair swaying slightly.
Fugaku turned and left the Hokage’s office, his black hair fluttering gently behind him. He walked on the streets of Konoha, looking at the busy villagers around him, but there was no wavering in his heart.
He continued to move forward, his figure blending into the crowd of Konoha, as if he was out of tune with this world, but had to be trapped in it.
12. Schedule tasks (old version)
Fugaku walked slowly into the guard office, his black hair fluttering gently behind him. Inside the office, dim light shone on the desk piled with documents, and on the wall hung portraits of the Uchiha clan’s successive patriarchs, looking solemn and majestic.
“Everyone, we have called you together today because of an important task.” Fugaku’s voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the office.
“Clan leader, what’s the mission?” The Uchiha guard members who came to report bowed in unison, their tone filled with respect and expectation.
“Recently, spies from the Iwagakure Village have infiltrated Konoha in an attempt to sow discord between us and the villagers. From now on, we will increase patrols and conduct more stringent checks on suspicious individuals.” Fugaku’s voice was calm and firm.
“Yes, Chief!” The guard members responded in unison, with determination in their eyes.
“Especially those villagers who show obvious dissatisfaction with the Uchiha clan, they are very likely spies. We must pay special attention to these people.” There was a hint of coldness in Fugaku’s tone, and his eyes swept over everyone present.
“But, Chief, will this make the villagers think that our Uchiha clan is taking personal revenge?” a young member of the guard team asked cautiously.
“Taking revenge for personal gain?” Fugaku smiled slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes, “Everything we are doing now is for the safety of Konoha. Those villagers who are dissatisfied with the Uchiha clan are likely to be spies from the Iwagakure Village. We are protecting Konoha, not taking revenge for personal gain. And I have obtained the permission of the Hokage to post this handwritten letter of the Hokage for public display. We must let everyone know that everything we do is instructed by the Hokage.”
“The clan leader is right!” Another experienced member of the guard nodded in agreement, “The Uchiha clan has always put the interests of Konoha first. We cannot let those with ulterior motives destroy the peace of Konoha.”
“By the way, in order to allow everyone to be more flexible when carrying out their missions, the Hokage has agreed that we can use a new method to deal with villagers suspected of being spies – paying money for bail.” Fugaku paused and continued, “If the suspected villagers can pay enough bail to prove their innocence, we can let them go temporarily. But this money will be used for the construction of Konoha, which can also be regarded as a contribution to the village.”
“This will not only safeguard the interests of Konoha, but also give a chance to those who may misunderstand us.” Fugaku smiled slightly, with a shrewd look in his eyes.
“Understood, Chief!” The guard members responded in unison, with a hint of excitement and anticipation in their eyes.
“One more thing,” Fugaku’s voice suddenly became serious, and he glanced at everyone present, “The distribution of the bail money is as follows: 50% will be given to Konoha as public funds; 30% will be at the disposal of the guards; and the remaining 20% ​​can be distributed by you as your additional allowances.”
When the guards heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes and they began to whisper to each other.
“Chief, we will definitely work harder to complete the task!” another member echoed.
Fugaku smiled and nodded, “Very good, I know you won’t let me down. Now, let’s start the mission.”
After Fugaku arranged the tasks, the guards quickly took action and divided into several groups to patrol the Konoha Village. They had sharp eyes and carefully observed every suspicious villager.
“Chief, is it really okay for us to do this? Will it cause resentment among the villagers?” a young guard member asked in a low voice while patrolling.
“As long as everything is for Konoha and for peace, there is nothing to worry about.” Another experienced member of the guard patted his shoulder, “We are on a mission to protect the village.”
“That’s right,” the third member agreed, “If those people weren’t spies, they wouldn’t be afraid of our investigation.”
On the afternoon of the day when the guards began to perform their new mission, the behavior of a villager in the market caught the attention of the guards. The villager complained loudly about the Uchiha clan’s harsh law enforcement in the market, which attracted the attention of the people around him.
“The Uchiha people always bully us ordinary villagers. We must not let them go this time!” He waved his fists angrily, his face flushed red.
Two members of the Uchiha Guard quickly arrived at the scene, observing the situation calmly.
“Who are you? Why are you inciting the people here?” a member of the guard team walked up and asked.
“I… I’m just expressing my dissatisfaction. Is that not okay?” The villager’s voice began to tremble, and a hint of uneasiness appeared in his eyes.
“Your behavior has aroused our suspicion. According to the new regulations, you may be a spy for the Iwagakure Village.” Another guard member said coldly, holding a kunai tightly in his hand.
“Spy? I’m not a spy! I’m just dissatisfied with the Uchiha’s way of enforcing the law!” The villager’s voice was filled with tears and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.
“According to regulations, you now have two choices: one is to follow us back to the guard team for further investigation; the other is to pay a deposit to prove your innocence.” The voice of the first guard member was calm and firm.
The villager’s face turned pale in an instant, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
“I… I don’t have that much money…” His voice became lower and lower, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
“Then you’ll have no choice but to come back to the guard team with us.” The second guard member said coldly, reaching out and grabbing the villager’s arm.
A few days later, the guards brought back many villagers who were arrested for “suspicious behavior”. According to Fugaku’s instructions, these villagers were asked to pay bail. In the guard’s office, a member of the guard was counting the gold coins that had just been collected.
“This time we received a total of 5,000 silver notes!” he said excitedly, with a gleam in his eyes.
“According to the clan leader’s rules, 50% of the 5,000 silver notes is 2,500 silver notes, which will be given to the village, and 1,500 will be given to the guards as public funds.” Another member calculated carefully, “20% is 1,000 silver notes, which we will divide among ourselves.”
“That’s great! Each of us can get a lot this time!” The young guard members’ eyes sparkled with excitement.
13. Hiruzen Reaction (Old Version)
The night was like deep ink, quietly infiltrating the Hidden Leaf Village, shrouding the entire village in silence. Sarutobi Hiruzen stood alone in front of the window of the Hokage’s office, looking at the area where the Uchiha clan was located in the distance. The lights there gradually went out, but he could not calm the waves in his heart. He held the report from the spy tightly in his hand. The paper was slightly yellowed due to the sweat on his palm, but the handwriting was wriggling in front of his eyes like a centipede.
“The Uchiha clan…” He whispered softly, his voice was as cold as ice. That was the clan under his rule, but without his knowledge, they had used his name to weave a suffocating web. The villagers’ trust in the Hokage was like a worm-eaten vine, crumbling. He knew that if the truth was not found out as soon as possible, the foundation of Konoha would be seriously shaken. His eyes flickered in the night, like two lonely stars, looking for direction in the darkness. His heart was full of contradictions and struggles. On the one hand, as the Hokage, he had to maintain the stability and peace of Konoha; on the other hand, he did not want to easily push the Uchiha clan to the opposite side. After all, they were also an important part of Konoha.
“Knock knock.” The window frame made a light sound, and Shimura Danzo’s figure merged into the room silently. He exuded a faint murderous aura, and there was an ambiguous smile on the corner of his mouth. “Huruzen, take a look at what I brought.” He gently placed a thick file on the mottled wooden table. On it, the deeds of the Uchiha Guard were listed in detail, accompanied by sketches drawn by ninjas lurking in the dark. Each sketch seemed to be a silent accusation, and the terrified expressions of the captured villagers seemed to be telling him about the injustice. Hiruzen’s eyes fell on the sketches, and he could feel the fear and helplessness of those villagers, which made him more determined to find out the truth.
Hiruzen was silent for a moment, his knuckles clasped on the table, “Danzo, you are always one step ahead of me in news.” He did not look up, the stars in the sky seemed to gather in his deep eyes, “They are testing me, testing Konoha’s bottom line. Fugaku has changed too much, this is completely different from his previous style.” He thought of the past Fugaku, although as the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, he has always acted cautiously and focused on harmonious coexistence with other clans in Konoha. However, now, this sudden move made him wonder if there is a bigger conspiracy behind it. He thought to himself: “Fugaku, what are you thinking? You will only push the Uchiha clan to the brink of danger.”
“Indeed.” Danzo leaned forward slightly, his hawk-like eyes flickering in the dimness, and he tapped the file with his fingertips. “There must be a conspiracy behind Uchiha Fugaku’s change. The Uchiha is born evil.” There was a hint of disdain and sarcasm in his words.
Hiruzen finally turned around, and the swivel chair of his desk made a slight sound behind him, like a silent sigh. He stared at Danzo, his gaze like a poisoned dagger, but when it touched the other’s eyes, it turned into a calm pool of water. “What are your plans?” He asked softly, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible.
Danzo smiled slightly, and there was a sharp edge in that smile. “I have sent members of the Root Organization to hide around the Uchiha clan. Any movement of theirs will be reported to our ears immediately.” He paused, and his eyes became more fierce. “At the same time, I am also secretly investigating the backgrounds of those arrested villagers, trying to find the real manipulator behind this.”
The night grew darker, and the lights in the Hokage’s office flickered in the breeze. The confrontation between Hiruzen and Danzo was like two reefs, silent and dangerous. They all knew that this storm was just the beginning, and the real storm was brewing in the shadow of the Uchiha, waiting for an opportunity to sweep across Konoha.
Hiruzen looked out the window again, his eyes were firm and deep, as if he had seen the direction of the future. He knew that this crisis must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the future of Konoha would be full of uncertainty. Danzo, on the other hand, was watching silently, thinking about how to gain more benefits for himself in this power game.
“Hokage-sama, Elder Danzo.” The sudden call interrupted the conversation between the two. The door of the office was pushed open, and Uchiha Fugaku walked in slowly, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, as if he didn’t take the two people in front of him seriously at all. “It seems that you are talking about something interesting?” He raised his eyebrows slightly, and a mocking arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Fugaku.” Hiruzen’s voice was deep and powerful, full of unquestionable authority. “You’ve come at the perfect time. Tell me, when are you going to hand in the bail money?”
Fugaku chuckled, his eyes revealing a hint of contempt, “Hokage-sama, why are you in such a hurry? We, the Uchiha clan, collect bail money for the safety of Konoha. Those silver coins will be paid sooner or later, so why rush it now?”
“Really?” Hiruzen slammed the table and stood up, causing the items on the desk to fall to the ground in an instant, making a crisp shattering sound.
“Oh?” Fugaku raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He said coldly: “Hokage-sama, are you threatening me? The Uchiha clan is never afraid of threats.” His voice was full of a determined spirit, as if he was ready to fight Hiruzen to the end at any time.
“Haha!” Danzo sneered contemptuously, his eyes full of disdain, “Uchiha, you are born evil, do you want to betray the village?”
“Really?” Fugaku slowly raised his hand, chakra surging wildly in his palm, and the temperature of the entire office seemed to drop instantly. His eyes were full of ferocity and determination, and he shouted loudly: “Do you think you can scare me like this? My Uchiha clan is not weak and can be bullied!”
“Fugaku, you are seeking your own death!” Hiruzen felt Fugaku’s powerful aura and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
“Seeking your own death?” Fugaku sneered, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, “Hmph,” and then he turned and left, his steps firm and powerful, as if he was ready to completely overturn the existing situation in this power game.
Looking at Fugaku’s departing back, Hiruzen frowned, knowing that this was only a temporary calm. The ambition of the Uchiha clan was like a cancer buried deep in Konoha. If it was not eradicated in time, it would eventually endanger the survival of Konoha. He turned to look at Danzo, with a deep light flashing in his eyes, as if he was thinking about the next response strategy.
Danzo smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes. He knew that the game with the Uchiha clan had just begun, and he had already planned more means in his mind, ready to give the Uchiha clan a fatal blow at the critical moment. The future of Konoha was like the sky covered by dark clouds, full of unknowns and crises.
14. Root Assassination (Old Version)
The night was as dark as ink, and the Hidden Leaf Village seemed particularly peaceful in its slumber. Shimura Danzo’s figure seemed particularly gloomy in the secret base of the Root Organization. He stood in front of a huge map, tapping the table with his fingers, and his eyes revealed a hint of coldness.
“Uchiha Fugaku has already met his death. For the sake of Konoha’s stability, he must be eliminated.” Danzo’s voice was low and powerful, as if every word contained endless murderous intent.
“Lord Danzo, we are ready.” A Root member stepped forward and said respectfully.
Danzo nodded slightly, a glimmer of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. “Remember, this operation must be silent. No traces can be left, and no one else can be alerted. The Uchiha clan is very vigilant. Once the operation is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.”
The root members responded in unison, their eyes revealing firmness and determination. They knew that this mission was about the future of Konoha and their own honor.
As the night deepened, the Root members sneaked into the Uchiha clan’s territory like ghosts. They were dressed in black combat uniforms and their faces were painted with special night paint, almost blending into the night. They easily avoided the patrolling Uchiha clan members and used superb stealth techniques to quietly approach Fugaku’s residence.
Fugaku’s residence is located in the core area of ​​the Uchiha clan, and is surrounded by strict security. But the Root members seem to have magical abilities. Like ghosts, they easily bypass all obstacles and come to Fugaku’s window.
In the room, Fugaku was sitting alone at the desk, holding a document in his hand, seemingly thinking about something seriously.
The Root members exchanged glances, and one of them gently pushed open the window and sneaked into the room silently.
Fugaku seemed completely unaware of the approaching danger, still lost in his own thoughts. The Root members quickly dispersed, taking up advantageous positions in the room, ready to launch a fatal attack.
However, just as the Root members were about to take action, Fugaku suddenly raised his head, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, as if two cold rays of light were shooting directly at the Root members.
“Are you here to kill me?” Fugaku’s voice was calm and cold, but it revealed an unquestionable majesty.
The Root members were shocked, and they reacted quickly, all pointing their weapons at Fugaku.
“Hmph, Danzo sent you guys to kill me. This shows that you look down on me, Uchiha Fugaku.” Fugaku snorted coldly and his body disappeared from the spot in an instant.
The Root members were horrified, and they quickly scattered, trying to find Fugaku’s location. But at this moment, Fugaku’s figure appeared behind them, with red light flashing in his eyes.
“You guys think you can succeed easily? You are too naive.” Fugaku’s voice was like a whisper from hell, and the Uchiha long sword in his hand instantly cut through the air.
The Root members had no time to react and could only fight in panic. However, their strength was too far behind Fugaku. Under Fugaku’s powerful chakra and superb fighting skills, the Root members were repelled one after another, and some were even seriously injured.
“If you want to blame someone, blame Danzo Shimura.” There was a hint of contempt in Fugaku’s voice. The long sword in his hand flashed with cold light and swung quickly.
The Root members realized that the situation was not good, they exchanged a quick look, then turned and fled to the window. Fugaku did not chase them, but watched them leave coldly with a stare in his eyes.
“Amatras”
A black flame quickly enveloped several roots, and a gust of wind blew past, leaving only black ash on the ground.
The night was still dark, but the tranquility of Konoha had been broken. A bigger storm was quietly brewing.
“What! The mission failed! Three teams, no one survived!”
The news of the failed assassination was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing a great uproar among the Konoha high-ranking officials. Inside Danzo’s Root headquarters, the lights were on, and he paced restlessly in the room like a trapped beast. The spy had just presented the shocking battle report not long ago – Fugaku not only successfully resisted the attack of the Root organization, but also opened his Mangekyō Sharingan during the battle. The powerful power erupted from those eyes caused the Root members who were carrying out the mission to be annihilated.
“That Uchiha Fugaku actually opened his Mangekyō Sharingan. He is indeed an evil Uchiha. He must have a conspiracy!” Danzo stopped abruptly and clenched the battle report tightly with both hands. His knuckles turned white from the force. “Now, the original plan has been completely disrupted. As for Hiruzen…”
Before he could finish his thoughts, there was a knock on the office door. Danzo snorted coldly and opened the door fiercely, and saw Sarutobi Hiruzen’s calm but somewhat angry face.
“Huruzen, you’ve come at the right time. We need to discuss our next plan as soon as possible.” Danzo tried to cover up his inner panic with an expression that said “I’m doing this for Konoha too.”
Hiruzen ignored Danzo’s politeness and walked straight into the house, each step seemed to be a heavy weight. “Danzo, why did you act on your own?” His voice was not loud, but it was like thunder in the sky, shaking Danzo’s heart violently.
“I’m doing this for the future of Konoha. Fugaku has clearly shown signs of rebellion. If we don’t eliminate him soon, there will be endless trouble.” Danzo forced a smile, trying to excuse himself with the so-called “righteousness.”
“Stupid!” Hiruzen slammed the table, making the objects on it jingle. “Have you ever thought about how much impact this move will have on Konoha’s stability? The Uchiha clan is not weak, and now there is Fugaku’s pair of Mangekyō. Your impulsiveness almost pushed the entire Konoha into the abyss of civil war!”
Danzo’s face turned red instantly, and he wanted to say something in defense, but was silenced by Hiruzen’s sharp look.
The atmosphere in the office was so heavy that it was almost suffocating. The confrontation between the two seemed to be hiding a storm that could erupt at any time. After a long while, Hiruzen took a deep breath and calmed down his anger, but he still showed some helplessness. “Danzo, in order to calm the situation, I have no choice.”
Danzo’s heart instantly sank to the bottom. He vaguely guessed Hiruzen’s plan, but still had a glimmer of hope. “Hiruzen, what do you want to do? Everything I do is for Konoha, and…”
“And what?” Hiruzen interrupted coldly, “For Konoha’s sake, I’m sorry to have wronged you. Starting tomorrow, I will be relieved of all my duties in Konoha and await further review.”
“You can’t do this!” Danzo retorted with a red face as if struck by lightning, “Without me, no one can control the many threats to Konoha.”
“Enough!” Hiruzen slammed the table again, his eyes revealing unquestionable majesty, “I am the Hokage, Danzo.”
Danzo wanted to say something else, but saw Hiruzen had already turned around and walked away. He was the only one left in the office, slowly disappearing into the darkness.
15. Fugaku Yami Hiruzen (old version)
As night fell, the Hidden Leaf Village was immersed in tranquility, as if all the noise in the world had disappeared at this moment. However, beneath this tranquil appearance, an undercurrent was surging, and a storm concerning the future direction of Konoha was quietly brewing.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat alone in the Hokage’s office, the light reflecting his slightly tired face. He gently stroked a secret report in his hand, which was a detailed record of the amazing strength displayed by Uchiha Fugaku in the assassination. There was a trace of worry in his eyes, knowing that the rise of the Uchiha clan had completely disrupted the original balance of Konoha.
At this moment, the door of the office was gently pushed open. Hiruzen looked up and saw Uchiha Fugaku slowly walking into the room. His eyes were as deep as the stars, revealing a sharpness that should not be underestimated. The door behind him quietly closed after he entered, making a slight “creaking” sound, as if foreshadowing the unusualness of this conversation.
“Fugaku, you’re here.” Hiruzen’s voice sounded particularly steady in the night. He slowly stood up from his seat and looked at Fugaku with sharp eyes.
Fugaku raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of disdain in his tone: “Hokage, it’s late at night, what do you want from me?”
Hiruzen stood up and walked to the window, looking at the area where the Uchiha clan was located in the distance. There were lights there, but there was an unusual tranquility. “Fugaku, I’m sure you are aware of the assassination operations of the Root organization. I called you here today to hear your opinion.” His voice was low and powerful.
Fugaku’s eyes suddenly turned cold, he slowly raised his hand, chakra surging wildly in his palm. A strange chaotic light appeared on the surface of his body, and his all-attribute strength instantly doubled, and chakra surged like a tide towards Hiruzen. His eyes focused, and his Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly opened, and complex patterns flashed in his red eyes, as if he could see through everything in the world.
A hint of coldness flashed in Fugaku’s eyes, and his gaze instantly became extremely sharp: “Hokage-sama, the actions of the Root organization are too much. They assassinated the clan leader in the Uchiha clan. I think it is necessary to have a talk with the clan leaders.”
Hiruzen nodded and turned to face Fugaku, “I understand your anger and the situation the Uchiha clan is in. But the stability of Konoha is equally important. I cannot sit back and do nothing.”
Fugaku snorted coldly, with a hint of disdain in his tone: “Stability? Hokage, do you really think that Danzo’s actions are maintaining stability?”
Hiruzen was silent for a moment, his eyes revealing a hint of mixed emotions. He knew that Fugaku had a point, but as the Hokage, he had to find a balance between the forces of all parties. “Fugaku, in order to make up for the previous mistakes, I have decided to let you take over Danzo’s position.” There was a hint of determination in his words.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the office froze instantly. Fugaku was slightly stunned, then laughed sarcastically: “Oh? Is it useful for Hokage to say that? Danzo is your brother.”
Hiruzen smiled slightly, a sharp gleam in his eyes: “Fugaku, this is not a test. I have witnessed your strength with my own eyes, and I believe you are capable of this position. This is also some compensation for the Uchiha.”
“Can’t I get it if you don’t give it to me?”
Hiruzen’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. His eyes showed a hint of appreciation and vigilance: “Fugaku, your strength really impressed me. Taking over Danzo’s position is not only to make up for the previous mistakes, but also for the future of Konoha. I will convene a jonin meeting tomorrow and officially announce this decision then.”
Fugaku slowly put away his Chaos Transformation and Mangekyō Sharingan, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes: “In that case, I will take over this position. But Hokage, I hope you understand that this is the last time.”
Hiruzen nodded, his eyes showing a deep light: “I understand. The future of the Uchiha clan, the future of Konoha, is in our hands. I hope we can all make the right choice.”
Fugaku turned and left. In the night, his stern figure gradually faded away. Hiruzen stayed alone in the office, looking at the direction where Fugaku left. He knew that Konoha’s future had entered an unknown danger, and this power game had just begun. Tomorrow’s Jonin meeting would be a new turning point for Konoha.
16 Jonin Conference (Old Version)
The atmosphere in the meeting room of the Hidden Leaf Village was solemn and tense. The clan leaders and elite ninjas gathered together, waiting for the Hokage to announce important decisions. Minato Namikaze stood at the head of the meeting table, his heartbeat slightly accelerated. This was his first time presiding over a meeting as a prospective Hokage. He knew that this meeting would determine the direction of Konoha for a long time in the future, and the heavy responsibility on his shoulders made him dare not slack off.
“Everyone, I’ve gathered you here today to discuss the future development of Konoha and key personnel adjustments.” Minato spoke loudly, with a hint of nervousness in his voice, but it was quickly covered up by his powerful aura, instantly attracting all attention.
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke first, his voice low and steady: “After careful consideration, I have decided that Namikaze Minato will succeed the position of Hokage. I will write to the Daimyo on the relevant matters. Minato’s outstanding strength and outstanding contributions are obvious to all. I firmly believe that Minato can lead Konoha to a more glorious future.”
Namikaze Minato stood up and bowed slightly to express his gratitude, with a warm feeling in his heart. “I will not disappoint the expectations of the Sandaime-sama, nor will I disappoint the villagers of Konoha.” He thought to himself. Minato knew that taking over the position of Hokage not only meant glory, but also responsibility and commitment.
“Thank you for your trust and support, Hokage. I will do my best to protect Konoha and maintain peace and prosperity.”
His words were firm and powerful.
The jonin applauded and congratulated one after another. The atmosphere was warm and full of expectations for the new Hokage. Everyone knew that Minato Namikaze was not only extremely powerful, but also performed well in previous missions. He was an ideal leader for the future development of Konoha.
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again: “Danzo, I have decided to dismiss him from his post. The specific details are confidential, so I will not elaborate on the reasons.”
As soon as these words came out, the conference room froze and whispers broke out. Danzo looked annoyed and stood up to retort: ​​”Huruzen, how can you say this? Everything I do is for Konoha!”
“Danzo, I’m sorry for having wronged you.” Hiruzen felt a little reluctant in his heart, but he knew that for the future of Konoha, he had to make a difficult decision.
Amid controversy, the meeting proceeded.
Hiruzen announced, “Uchiha Fugaku will replace Danzo as the elder of Konoha.”
This caused another uproar. The clan leaders of various tribes discussed the matter, some congratulated, some worried.
“Fugaku is extremely powerful, and the Uchiha clan is honored.” A certain clan leader was the first to congratulate.
“Uchiha clan? It seems something unknown has happened.” Another clan leader frowned worriedly.
Fugaku stood up and smiled calmly: “Thank you for the appointment, Hokage. I will definitely contribute to the development of Konoha.”
A glimmer of ambition flashed in his eyes, “This position is just the beginning, there will be more possibilities in the future.” He thought to himself, with a sharp gleam in his eyes.
Ambition flashed in his eyes and then disappeared. The clan leaders of each tribe either congratulated or observed, secretly pondering his intention.
Namikaze Minato spoke again: “The future of Konoha depends on your cooperation. I believe that if everyone works together, Konoha will prosper.”
“I must unite everyone. There cannot be any cracks in Konoha’s future.”
Minato made up his mind secretly.
The meeting ended and everyone stood up and left. Konoha’s future, in this discussion and thinking, entered a new chapter. No one could predict where Uchiha Fugaku’s rise would lead Konoha.
17. Pig, Deer and Butterfly (old version)
After the meeting of the jonin of Konohagakure was over, the three clan leaders, Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, and Yamanaka Inoichi, came to a hidden teahouse one after another at the agreed time. The teahouse was located in a narrow street in Konohagakure, surrounded by a bustling crowd, providing an excellent cover for their secret talks.
Nara Shikaku arrived first. He habitually observed the surroundings and confirmed that there were no tails before choosing a seat by the window. There was a hint of worry in his eyes, as if he was thinking deeply about the outcome of the meeting. He tapped his knees gently, which was a small habit he had when thinking. As he thought, this action became more and more frequent.
Akimichi Choza followed closely behind. His huge body seemed a little cramped in the narrow space, but he still tried to keep a low profile and sat silently opposite Shikaku. There was a hint of seriousness on his face, with a slight frown on his brows, as if he was dissatisfied with some of the decisions made in the meeting. He adjusted his sitting posture from time to time, trying to make himself more comfortable, but every adjustment made him look more uneasy.
Yamanaka Kaiichi was the last to arrive. He looked serious, as if he was still thinking about the meeting. He greeted Shikaku and Ding Zuo softly, and sat next to Ding Zuo. There was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes, as if he was deeply worried about the future situation. He lowered his head slightly, and folded his hands on his knees. This posture made him look a little nervous.
After the three of them sat down, the waiter of the teahouse brought a pot of hot tea and then quietly left. Shikaku took a sip of tea gently, and the temperature of the tea made his thoughts a little clearer. He spoke first, his voice low and steady: “It is expected that Minato will succeed the Hokage. His strength and reputation make him the best choice. But what we have to think about is how to ensure the stability of the three clans in Konoha during the transition from the old to the new.” His eyes swept over Choza and Haiyi, trying to find resonance in their eyes.
Choza nodded slightly, his voice loud and powerful: “Although Minato is an outstanding ninja, he lacks the political skills of Lord Hiruzen. We must give him support secretly to avoid family conflicts caused by poor management.” As he spoke, he unconsciously clenched his fists, as if to emphasize his point.
Haiyi was silent for a moment, and then said in a serious tone: “The most disturbing thing is that Fugaku becomes an elder. The Uchiha clan is already known for its ambitions. Now that Fugaku holds real power, I am afraid it will pose a threat to the balance of Konoha.” A cold light flashed in his eyes, as if he was deeply disturbed by Fugaku’s rise. He slightly turned sideways and approached Shikaku and Choza, as if seeking their support.
Shikaku smiled slightly, with a sharp look in his eyes: “I agree. Fugaku must have something we don’t know, maybe it’s the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. We must closely monitor his movements. Once he makes any unusual movements, the three clans must unite and deal with it together.” He gently put down the teacup, and the teacup made a crisp sound when it hit the table, as if emphasizing his determination.
Choza nodded in agreement, his voice revealing a firm determination: “Yes, the fall of Danzo may trigger a redistribution of power in Konoha. Our three clans must remain vigilant to prevent other forces from taking the opportunity to squeeze our space.” He leaned forward slightly, placed his hands on the table, and a hint of vigilance was revealed in his eyes.
Haiyi smiled and said, “In the long run, we must strengthen the training of the younger generation. Let them grow into the backbone of Konoha under the leadership of Minato, and at the same time lay the foundation for the future of the three clans.” There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and he seemed to have full confidence in the younger generation. He gently patted Ding Zuo’s shoulder, and this action made Ding Zuo relax a little.
As the night deepened, the secret talk between the three clan leaders came to an end. They exchanged firm glances, knowing that only if the three clans united as one could they remain invincible in the ever-changing Konoha.
The three of them stood up quietly and left the teahouse from different exits. The night breeze blew gently, as if taking away the heaviness in their hearts, but they also knew that the future of Konoha was full of unknowns and challenges, and they were ready to work together to protect the glory and peace of the three clans.
18. Uchiha clan cheers (old version)
After the jonin meeting, Uchiha Fugaku stepped into the Uchiha clan’s settlement with mixed feelings. His steps were steady and powerful, his eyes revealed a deep light, but his heart was like a turbulent sea.
He knew very well that this news would cause quite a stir in the Uchiha clan, and that he would be shouldering unprecedented responsibility.
When he stepped into the gate of Uchiha Shrine, the tribesmen were instantly excited.
Fugaku stood on a high place, looking around at the familiar faces around him. Those looks of surprise, excitement, or expectation made him feel an unprecedented sense of responsibility.
His eyes swept through the crowd and finally stopped on Uchiha Shisui.
Shisui’s energetic eyes were sparkling with excitement, as if he had foreseen the glorious future of the Uchiha clan.
“Clan leader, you’re back!” Uchiha Shisui ran up quickly, his eyes full of admiration and expectation.
Fugaku nodded slightly, patted Shisui’s shoulder, and gave an encouraging smile: “Shisui, call everyone to a meeting.”
“Yes, clan leader!” Shisui turned around like an arrow and ran to every corner to deliver the message.
Soon, the Uchiha Shrine was crowded with people. The clan members gathered in groups of three or five, whispering about something, their faces full of uncontrollable excitement. Fugaku stood on the high platform, looking at the dark crowd below the stage, and a sense of pride surged in his heart. He knew that at this moment, he would open a new chapter for the Uchiha clan.
“My fellow tribesmen, I have important news to tell you.” Fugaku’s voice was low and powerful, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.
The crowd instantly fell silent, and countless pairs of eyes focused on Fugaku. There was expectation, doubt, and deep trust in those eyes.
“In the Jonin meeting that just ended, I was appointed as the elder of Konoha, replacing Danzo.” Fugaku’s words were like a boulder thrown into a lake, causing ripples among the crowd.
The audience was instantly in an uproar. There were exclamations and cheers. The members of the Uchiha clan talked to each other, their faces filled with pride and joy. This news was undoubtedly a great joy for them. The Uchiha clan had been ignored by Konoha for many years, and now, they finally had their own spokesperson.
“Long live the clan leader!” Uchiha Shisui shouted excitedly, his eyes shining with excitement and his voice full of admiration.
“This is the honor of our Uchiha clan!” Uchiha Inahori couldn’t help but say, his face filled with a proud smile. He knew the significance of this position to the Uchiha clan, which meant that their voice in Konoha would be greatly enhanced. He looked at Fugaku with eyes full of admiration and support.
“Fugaku, you have to speak up for our Uchiha clan!” said an elderly clan member, his eyes revealing a hint of worry, but more of expectation. He was afraid that Fugaku would bear too much pressure alone, but he also wanted him to change the status quo.
Fugaku smiled slightly and nodded, with a firm look in his eyes: “Thank you all for your support and trust. I know that this position carries a great responsibility, but I believe that as long as our Uchiha clan unites as one, we will be able to gain more respect and benefits in Konoha.”
While everyone was immersed in joy, the elders of the Uchiha clan were discussing in a corner. Uchiha Muyu, as a wise man in the clan, had a hint of worry in his eyes. He knew that although Fugaku’s rise brought glory to the Uchiha clan, it also meant more responsibilities and risks.
“Will Fugaku’s ambition bring disaster to the Uchiha clan?” Wuyou said in a low voice, a hint of worry in his eyes, his hands slightly folded and placed on his knees.
“Humph, the honor of the Uchiha clan is the most important.” Uchiha Yuki retorted. As a representative of the hardline faction in the clan, she has always advocated that the Uchiha clan should occupy a more important position in Konoha. She held her head high and looked at Fugaku with sharp eyes.
“We must support Fugaku and work hard for the future of the Uchiha clan.” Uchiha Yashiro said firmly, his eyes revealing a hint of determination, and his hands clenched into fists, as if he wanted to turn this determination into action.
Fugaku looked around the crowd, and his eyes finally stopped at Uchiha Itachi. Itachi’s eyes revealed a deep light. He knew the significance of this news to the Uchiha clan, and he was also full of expectations for Fugaku’s decision. He nodded slightly, conveying his support to Fugaku.
“The future of the Uchiha clan is in the hands of each of us.” Fugaku’s voice sounded again, and his eyes revealed a hint of determination, “Let us unite as one and work hard for the glory of the Uchiha clan!”
The clan members responded in unison, and their voices echoed over the Uchiha Shrine. Fugaku stood high up, looking at the scene before him, his heart filled with hope and determination. He knew that the future of the Uchiha clan would be written by them together. And he would lead them to the glory that belonged to the Uchiha clan.
“Fugaku, you have to be careful.” Uchiha Mikoto said softly. As Fugaku’s wife, she has always supported him silently. She looked at Fugaku with eyes full of worry and concern.
Fugaku smiled and gently held Mikoto’s hand, “Don’t worry, Mikoto. I won’t put the Uchiha clan in danger.”
“I will support you too.” Uchiha Itachi suddenly said, his eyes revealing a hint of determination. Although he was still young, he had already demonstrated the talent and wisdom of the Uchiha clan.
Fugaku nodded, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. He knew that he was not fighting alone, and every member of the Uchiha clan had his solid backing.
19. Minato Hokage Succession Ceremony (Old Version)
A month later, the Hidden Leaf Village was filled with vitality, with lights and decorations everywhere, and the atmosphere was festive. The inauguration ceremony of Minato Namikaze, the Hokage, attracted everyone’s attention.
The square in front of the Hokage’s office building was bustling with people. In the dark crowd, the laughter of children was clear and melodious. They held colorful flags in their hands and looked around curiously, hoping to see the new Hokage. Kakashi stood in the crowd, his silver hair shining in the sun, and next to him was Kurenai Yuhi. Kakashi looked at the platform, his eyes full of expectation, while Kurenai Yuhi smiled slightly, her face looked particularly warm in the crowd.
“Minato-sama’s speech is about to begin. I believe he will lead Konoha to a more glorious tomorrow.” Asuma and Might Guy also came over, and Asuma said with a slight smile. Might Guy crossed his arms, with a firm look in his eyes: “Of course! Minato-sama is a super powerful Hokage! This is youth! After it’s over, I will stand upside down and circle Konoha 500 times.” He smiled proudly, as if he had seen the day when he would become a legend.
Minato was wearing a brand new Hokage robe, with golden patterns sparkling in the sun. He stood steadily on the podium, facing countless expectant gazes from the audience. Although he was nervous inside, his face was calm, and he was full of ambition and passion.
The ceremony began, and Minato walked forward slowly. He cleared his throat, and his loud voice echoed over the square: “Villagers of Konoha, today, I stand here with a heavy sense of responsibility. I promise to everyone that I will use all my strength to protect the peace and prosperity of Konoha. I will work hard to make Konoha the most powerful ninja village, so that every villager can live and work in peace and contentment.”
The audience immediately erupted into thunderous applause that lasted for a long time. Kakashi looked at Minato on the podium, his eyes full of admiration: “Teacher, your dream has finally come true.” Yuhi Kurenai gently patted Kakashi’s shoulder and said with a smile: “Congratulations, Kakashi. You are now also a disciple of the Hokage.”
After the ceremony, the villagers celebrated in the square.
Might Guy and Asuma also came over. Asuma said with a smile: “This ceremony is so exciting. The future of Konoha is bright.” Might Guy was excited: “That’s right! Lord Minato is the hero of our Konoha. His inauguration will definitely bring new hope and strength to Konoha.” His energetic tone and exaggerated expression made everyone smile.
The villagers all had smiles on their faces, their eyes sparkling with longing for the future. This cheerful atmosphere also permeated the streets and alleys of Konoha. Merchants gathered in front of their shops, enthusiastically discussing future expansion plans; craftsmen carefully designed new works in the studio; and young ninjas trained harder in the training grounds to prepare for the defense of Konoha.
Back in the Hokage’s office, Minato looked out the window at the bustling scene, and a sense of responsibility surged in his heart. He knew that as the Hokage, he shouldered the expectations of the villagers. He secretly made up his mind: “I will never let everyone down, and I will definitely make Konoha the most powerful ninja village.”
At the same time, the settlement of the Uchiha clan was also quietly taking action. Uchiha Fugaku called a meeting of the clan members, and the atmosphere in the meeting room was solemn. Fugaku looked at the clan members and said in a deep voice: “It is a good thing for Konoha that Minato will be the Hokage. But for us, the Uchiha clan, it is both an opportunity and a challenge. We must work closely with the new Hokage, and at the same time, we must safeguard the interests and dignity of our Uchiha clan.” Uchiha Itachi sat quietly in the corner, he looked at Fugaku, his eyes revealing determination and expectation. He thought to himself: “Dad, I support your decision. I will work hard to improve myself and fight for the glory of the Uchiha clan.”
As night falls, Konoha’s celebrations gradually subside, but the villagers’ vision and expectations for the future are deeply rooted in their hearts. In this new era, Konoha’s future is full of hope and challenges. Under the leadership of Minato, the villagers believe that they will be able to overcome difficulties and realize their dream of peace and prosperity. The Uchiha clan’s movements will also become one of the important factors in Konoha’s future development.
20. Orochimaru’s Rebellion (Old Version)
It was a moonless night. The Hidden Leaf Village was wrapped in darkness. Only a few dim lights flickered in the distance, adding a bit of desolation to the silent night.
Orochimaru stood on the high ground at the edge of the village, the cold wind whistled past, blowing his long white hair. His eyes were empty and deep, as if he could see through everything in the world, but also hiding unknown secrets. In the bag behind him were his years of experimental records and some precious scrolls, which were the results of his many years of research and also his important “luggage” for defecting.
A few days ago, Orochimaru’s secret human experiments were accidentally exposed. A young ninja broke into Orochimaru’s laboratory without knowing it and witnessed those horrific experimental scenes.
The news spread quickly, and the Konoha high-ranking officials were furious when they learned about it, and decided to send troops to encircle and suppress Orochimaru. However, he had already noticed the abnormality of Konoha and knew that his time was running out. He began to pack up the research results of these years and prepared to leave the village that had raised him.
On the high ground, Orochimaru looked at the brightly lit Konoha Village in the distance, feeling mixed emotions.
He thought back to the days when he fought alongside Jiraiya and Tsunade, carefree times that were now only memories.
His eyes gradually became firm, and he turned and walked out of the village with steady and powerful steps.
Every step he took seemed to be saying goodbye to the past, and every step seemed so heavy.
After the Konoha high-ranking officials learned of Orochimaru’s movements, they quickly organized elite ninjas to intercept him.
They knew that Orochimaru’s defection not only concerned the safety of Konoha, but was also a blatant provocation to Konoha’s authority.
Sarutobi Hiruzen personally issued an order, requiring that Orochimaru be stopped at all costs, but at the same time, innocent casualties should be avoided as much as possible.
After Jiraiya got the news, he rushed to the outside of the village as soon as possible. He looked at Orochimaru’s back as he was gradually going away, his heart filled with pain and reluctance. Orochimaru stopped, turned slowly, and looked at Jiraiya. Although the moonlight was dim, he could still see the complicated expressions on their faces.
“Orochimaru, why are you doing this?” Jiraiya’s voice was trembling, his eyes were full of confusion and disappointment. Orochimaru chuckled, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes: “Jiraiya, you will never understand. The fragility of life is unbearable for me. I must pursue immortality and become an existence beyond everything.”
Jiraiya clenched his fists and roared: “Even so, you can’t hurt innocent people! Orochimaru, come back, we will definitely find other ways!”
Orochimaru raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of mockery: “Method? No, no one can understand my path.”
His figure flashed and disappeared into the night, leaving Jiraiya sighing in the wind, full of regret and self-blame.
Orochimaru flew through the forest at a speed so fast that he seemed to blend into the darkness. Konoha’s pursuers followed closely behind him, but they knew it would not be easy to catch Orochimaru. Orochimaru looked back from time to time to confirm the position of the pursuers, and at the same time used his familiarity with the terrain to cleverly avoid pursuit.
Orochimaru came to the depths of a dense forest and stopped. He looked back in the direction of Konoha, with a hint of complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
He knew that this farewell might mean they would never see each other again. He sighed softly, as if he wanted to leave all his memories on this land.
“Konoha, goodbye.” He said softly, with a hint of helplessness and determination in his voice. Then, he turned and disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind silence.
The news of Orochimaru’s defection quickly spread back to Konoha, and the entire village fell into grief and anger.
21.Searching for Orochimaru (Old Version)
As night fell, the candlelight in Uchiha Fugaku’s study flickered, and the dim light stretched his figure. He paced back and forth alone in the room, his eyes intertwined with anxiety and expectation, as if he could see through people’s hearts. Recently, he learned through secret channels that Orochimaru was in the outside world. This news was like a flash of lightning, instantly igniting his ambitions. He knew that Orochimaru’s forbidden techniques and extensive knowledge were the key to the Uchiha clan’s leap in power.
“Orochimaru, your wisdom is exactly what the Uchiha clan needs to rise.” Fugaku muttered to himself, his eyes becoming more determined.
He quietly summoned the Uchiha clan’s trusted members and gathered them in a secret basement. Inside, the dim candlelight reflected on the Uchiha clan emblem on the wall, casting a solemn and mysterious veil over everyone. Fugaku cleared his throat, his voice low but full of power: “Everyone, I summoned you here for the future of the Uchiha clan. Orochimaru holds the secret technique that will change our destiny.”
Uchiha Is was the first to break the silence. He frowned, his worry evident in his expression: “Chief, this is too risky. Orochimaru is a traitor to Konoha. If we have any connection with him and it is exposed, the Uchiha clan will become the target of public criticism.”
Uchiha Daru also echoed, looking embarrassed: “Yes, clan leader, if we are not careful, the reputation we have built up over the years will be destroyed.”
After hearing this, Fugaku raised his lips slightly, his eyes became more determined: “I know the risks involved. But our Uchiha clan has been suppressed by Konoha for a long time. If we don’t seize this opportunity and improve our strength, I’m afraid we will never be able to turn things around. As long as we act secretly and follow the plan, we will be able to overcome the danger.” After that, he slowly walked to the map and tapped his finger, “According to my plan, we will divide into three groups and quietly leave the village from different directions to avoid the eyes and ears of Konoha’s top leaders.”
After the meeting, Fugaku immediately began to prepare the materials for the operation. He ordered the opening of the Uchiha clan’s secret library, and various fine ninja tools and necessary materials were taken out one by one – special invisibility cloaks that can greatly weaken chakra fluctuations and help them hide their whereabouts; high-precision chakra sensors that can accurately capture weak breaths within a radius of several miles; and compressed dry food and emergency medicines that are enough to support long-distance operations. Uchiha Kalu personally supervised the distribution to ensure that each team was fully equipped.
The night of action finally arrived. Dark clouds covered the sky and the moon was not visible. The three teams assembled silently. They were dressed in uniform black action suits, with masks covering most of their faces, revealing only their resolute eyes. Fugaku glanced at everyone and ordered in a deep voice: “Let’s go!” In an instant, the team turned into three shadows. Under the cover of night, they quietly left the village from different corners and headed towards the direction where Orochimaru might be lurking. They took every step carefully, for fear of alerting the sentry in the dark.
After several days of difficult and careful searching, the first team led by Uchiha Is found some suspicious signs in the northern mountains. They found several special kunai marks at the entrance of an abandoned cave covered with vines – a code commonly used by Orochimaru’s men. Is squatted down, stroked the marks with his fingertips, and his eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle: “It was left by Orochimaru’s men!” He quickly ordered the team members to record all the clues and pass this important discovery back to the Uchiha clan’s base through special carrier pigeons.
After receiving the news, Fugaku led an elite team to Is’s location. After a thorough search, they finally locked onto the temporary base of Orochimaru – a secret base hidden in the folds of the valley. Fugaku did not act rashly, but first sent two ninjas who were good at reconnaissance to sneak into the base to find out the internal structure and patrol rules. After the intelligence was clear, he led the team and quietly sneaked into the base under the cover of night.
22. Secret of Ninja World (Old Version)
The team arrived at a remote valley and found the entrance to a cave covered by a waterfall. The cave was deep, cold and damp. Fugaku led the team forward in the dark and finally saw Orochimaru at the end of the cave. Orochimaru sat cross-legged on the ground, with various experimental instruments scattered around him. He looked up at the sound, his eyes as sharp as a snake’s tongue.
“Lord Orochimaru, long time no see.” Fugaku clasped his hands together, neither humble nor overbearing. His eyes were firm, and he was secretly alert in his heart, knowing that this meeting with Orochimaru was full of uncertainty.
Orochimaru’s mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of teasing: “Oh? Fugaku, you are not here to arrest me, are you? What is your purpose?” There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes, but more of it was vigilance. He never thought that the Uchiha clan would take the initiative to come to him.
“Orochimaru, would you like to listen to a story from me first? I think after I finish my story, Lord Orochimaru should know what I am here for.” Fugaku’s tone was calm and powerful. He slowly opened his Mangekyō Sharingan. His red pupils flickered with a faint light in the dim cave, and his chakra gathered quietly.
“Oh, that really arouses my curiosity.” Orochimaru licked his lips with a hint of excitement in his eyes. He was always full of desire for unknown power.
Fugaku took a deep breath and began to narrate: “It all started with a goddess of the rabbit. The goddess of the rabbit was named Kaguya Otsutsuki. At that time, there was a sacred tree that produced a fruit. Kaguya Otsutsuki swallowed the fruit of the sacred tree and gained powerful power. Using this power, Kaguya pacified the chaos on Earth and was revered by humans as the “Goddess of the Rabbit.” With the blessings and prayers of the people, she gave birth to two heirs: the eldest son, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, and the second son, Hamura Otsutsuki. Hagoromo Otsutsuki is the Six Paths Sage we are familiar with. However, Kaguya’s obsession with power made her gradually lost. She tried to use humans as nutrients for the sacred tree, but this behavior was discovered and stopped by her two sons. In order to protect humans, Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura fought a fierce battle with Kaguya. After a battle, the Six Paths Sage won.”
“Oh? This is a version that has never been discovered.” Orochimaru’s pupils shrank slightly, and he became very interested in the truth of this story. He leaned forward slightly, folded his hands on his knees, and locked his eyes on Fugaku.
“Lord Orochimaru, please listen to me. ” Fugaku’s voice was steady, as if it had magic, completely attracting Orochimaru’s attention.
“Indra is the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths. He invented the method of using ninjutsu through hand seals and showed extraordinary talent at a young age. Ashura is the second son of the Sage of Six Paths. His talent was not as good as Indra’s at first. The Sage of Six Paths also founded the Ninja Sect, hoping to pass on his will and bring peace to the world. Before his death, the Sage of Six Paths entrusted the power and will of the Ninja Sect to his two sons, Indra and Ashura. The elder brother Indra inherited a powerful chakra gene, possessed the Sage’s Eye, powerful pupil power and combat perception, and advocated the use of strength to achieve peace; although the younger brother Ashura did not inherit the powerful chakra Indra had the same gene as his brother, but through hard practice, he awakened his chakra and gained the same strength as his brother. He advocated peace through love. The Sage of Six Paths finally chose Ashura as the successor of the Ninja Clan, which made Indra dissatisfied, and the conflict between the two brothers arose. The confrontation between Indra and Ashura continued in later generations, forming a long-term dispute between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan. The Uchiha clan inherited Indra’s Sharingan and pursuit of power, while the Senju clan inherited Ashura’s ninjutsu and the spirit of valuing companions. The grievances and entanglements between the two clans affected the pattern and historical development of the Ninja World. “
“It’s a good story, but how do I know if it’s true?” Orochimaru frowned slightly, half believing and half doubting Fugaku’s words. His fingers tapped his knees lightly, showing his inner uneasiness.
“Of course there is evidence. Our Uchiha clan has a heritage stone tablet that can only be deciphered by the Mangekyo.” Fugaku smiled slightly, his Sharingan shone brightly, and at the same time he activated the Chaos Transformation. A powerful aura surged out like a tide, and the walls of the secret room began to crack under the powerful aura.
“Is this the legendary Mangekyō? So, Fugaku-kun, are you here just to tell me stories and show me your Sharingan?” Orochimaru’s eyes locked onto Fugaku’s Sharingan, a trace of greed flashing in his eyes. His desire for this power was almost beyond words.
“It was predicted on the stone tablet by the Sage of Six Paths that when the powers of the Senju and Uchiha are combined, they will gain the power of All Things, that is, the power to create or control all things in the world. I think Lord Orochimaru has done so many experiments for Danzo that he should know whether this is true. And I am willing to cooperate with Lord Orochimaru to master the power of All Things. I can first provide two Sharingan as a token of sincerity, and provide funds for the experiments.” Fugaku’s voice was low and powerful, with a firmness in his eyes.
“In that case, I agree. As a token of my sincerity, I can tell you that I have made some progress in the experiment of combining Uchiha and Senju. Shimura Danzo already possesses the power of both the Sharingan and Hashirama’s cells.” Orochimaru smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes. His fingers tapped the armrests lightly, as if calculating something.
“I already know this, but it’s a pleasure to work with you.” Fugaku extended his hand with a smile on his face. He knew that this was just the beginning, and the future of the Uchiha clan would be written by him.
Orochimaru also reached out his hand and shook hands with Fugaku tightly: “Happy cooperation.” There was a hint of mystery in his smile. The handshake between the two seemed to herald the official start of a cooperation that would change the landscape of the ninja world.
As the night deepened, the atmosphere in the secret room gradually eased. The alliance between Fugaku and Orochimaru was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, and the future of the ninja world would be rippled.
23. Sasuke is born (old version)
Nine months later, Konoha Village was shrouded in a thin layer of morning mist. The sun shone through the mist and sprinkled on the ground, forming patches of golden light. The settlement of the Uchiha clan seemed particularly peaceful in the morning light, as if time had stopped here. Smoke rose from the chimneys of every household, and the air was filled with the aroma of food. A new day had begun.
The news of Uchiha Mikoto’s pregnancy had already spread throughout the tribe, and the tribe members congratulated her. The entire tribe was full of anticipation and joy. Fugaku and Mikoto’s home was filled with a happy atmosphere, and they carefully prepared to welcome the arrival of a new life. Mikoto gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, with a happy smile on her face. Fugaku silently guarded her, his eyes full of tenderness and concern.
“Mikoto, how are you feeling today?” Fugaku asked softly, his hand gently holding Mikoto’s.
Mikoto smiled, her eyes full of happiness, “It feels good, Fugaku. With you by my side, I’m not afraid of anything.”
Fugaku nodded and prayed silently in his heart: “Mother and child must be safe.”
Finally, on a moonlit night, Mikoto gritted her teeth in the delivery room, her forehead covered with beads of sweat, but she stubbornly endured the severe pain. Fugaku paced anxiously outside the delivery room, as if a trapped beast was struggling violently in his heart, tension and expectation intertwined into a mess. Every second of waiting seemed as long as a century, and he seemed to be able to hear his own rapid heartbeat in his ears.
“Mikoto, come on!” Fugaku’s voice rang out outside the delivery room, full of encouragement and concern.
When a clear cry was heard in the delivery room, the sound was like the sound of nature, instantly penetrating the chaos in Fugaku’s heart. His face instantly relaxed, revealing an extremely relieved smile, his eyes full of the tenderness and happiness of being a father.
“It’s a boy.” The doctor’s voice rang out in the delivery room, and Mikoto closed her eyes tiredly but happily.
Fugaku gently opened the door and walked into the delivery room. When he saw the baby in Mikoto’s arms, a warm current surged in his heart. He gently held Mikoto’s hand: “Mikoto, you are amazing.”
Mikoto smiled, tears welling up in her eyes, “Fugaku, we have two sons now.”
Members of the Uchiha clan rushed over after hearing the news, holding all kinds of gifts in their hands, their faces filled with joy from the bottom of their hearts. The older clan members gently stroked Sasuke’s pink little face, with a trace of relief and expectation in their eyes, they knew that this little life might be the future hope of the Uchiha clan.
“Fugaku, Mikoto, congratulations!” Uchiha Muyu, as the wise man of the clan, gently patted Fugaku’s shoulder and said earnestly, “This child will definitely be extraordinary in the future. You must teach him well.”
Fugaku nodded in thanks and made a promise to himself: “I will make him the pride of the Uchiha clan.”
At the same time, the leaders of Konohagakure also paid attention to Sasuke’s birth. As the Hokage of Konohagakure, Minato Namikaze shouldered the responsibility of protecting the entire village. After learning that the Uchiha clan had a new member, a faint smile appeared on his face, which was a blessing for the young life and an expectation for the future of Konohagakure.
“Fugaku, congratulations. This child will definitely become a pillar of Konoha in the future.” Minato said to Fugaku with a smile.
Fugaku nodded gratefully, “Thank you, Hokage-sama. I will definitely train him well.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen was still watching everything silently behind the scenes. He knew that the rise of the Uchiha clan was a double-edged sword for Konoha, and Sasuke’s birth might be the key factor affecting the direction of the sword. He stroked his beard, and a deep light flashed in his eyes: “Uchiha clan, your journey has just begun.”
Shimura Danzo, the man who always operated in the dark, always maintained a high level of vigilance for the movements of the Uchiha clan. In his view, the birth of Sasuke was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, which would surely cause ripples. He had already begun to instruct members of the Root Organization to strengthen their surveillance of the Uchiha clan, especially the little Sasuke. He did not want the Uchiha clan to grow any “wings” because of this newborn.
“Keep a close eye on the Uchiha clan, especially the newborn.” Danzo ordered in a low voice, his eyes revealing an unquestionable firmness. The members of the Root organization responded in unison, and then quietly dispersed to carry out their mission.
Uchiha Itachi, as the eldest son of Fugaku and Mikoto, was full of curiosity and love for the birth of his younger brother Sasuke. He approached the cradle carefully, his clear eyes staring straight at Sasuke’s tender little face, and a sense of responsibility as a brother quietly took root in his heart. He began to secretly think about how he could protect this still weak brother in this ever-changing ninja world.
“Brother, you have to grow up quickly.” Itachi said softly, his little hand gently stroking Sasuke’s hair. Sasuke seemed to feel his brother’s tenderness, moved slightly, and let out a soft cry.
24 Secretly remind Minato (old version)
The Hidden Leaf Village welcomed another dawn in tranquility.
Namikaze Minato stood in front of the window of the Hokage’s office, looking at the mountains in the distance, his heart full of longing for the future. His wife Uzumaki Kushina was about to give birth, and the whole of Konoha was immersed in the joy of welcoming a new life. However, under this peaceful appearance, undercurrents were surging.
Uchiha Fugaku was in his own residence, his eyes were deep and complicated. He had just received some vague intelligence, suggesting that someone might attack Kushina when she was giving birth. This news made him feel uneasy, and he decided that he must take action to protect Kushina and her unborn child.
Fugaku walked through the streets of Konoha and came to the Hokage’s office. He knocked on the door and slowly walked in after Minato allowed him to do so.
Minato turned around and greeted Fugaku with a smile, “Fugaku, what’s going on?”
Fugaku’s expression was serious and solemn: “Minato, I have something important to tell you.”
Minato’s smile faded as he realized that Fugaku’s expression was unusual.
He motioned for Fugaku to sit down, and they sat down facing each other, Fugaku looking directly at Minato, “I have received some intelligence that someone may attack Kushina while she is giving birth.”
Minato’s heart sank suddenly, and his eyes suddenly became sharp: “Fugaku, do you have any evidence?”
Fugaku nodded: “It’s just some vague information at the moment, but I think it’s necessary to tell you in advance. Kushina and the child are the future of Konoha, we can’t have any mistakes.”
Minato pondered for a moment, his eyes flashing with determination: “I understand. I will strengthen Kushina’s protection measures and investigate the source of the information.”
Fugaku smiled slightly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: “Thank you for your understanding, Minato. I will also pay close attention to the development of the situation.”
“By the way, Fugaku, have you found out where the attack might come from?” Minato asked again in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on Fugaku.
“There is no definite news yet, but I suspect it is Danzo.” Fugaku lowered his voice, “He has been eyeing the Uchiha clan and may also attack Kushina.”
Minato’s expression suddenly became serious. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning slightly white: “Danzo, he actually dared to attack Kushina…”
“Minato, Kushina is about to give birth, and the seal within her body might be of interest to Danzo.”
There was a hint of urgency in Fugaku’s tone, “Danzo’s ambition is obvious. We must not let him get close to Kushina.”
Minato’s reason gradually overcame his anger. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He nodded, with a look of determination in his eyes: “I will arrange for elite ninjas to strengthen Kushina’s guards and secretly observe Danzo’s whereabouts.”
“I won’t sit idly by either.” Fugaku’s tone was firm, “The Uchiha clan will do their utmost to help protect Kushina and the child.”
“I feel much more relieved after hearing your words.” Minato’s tone was filled with gratitude. He stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance. “Kushina and the child are the future of Konoha. I will never let them get hurt.” Fugaku also stood up, walked to Minato’s side, and looked into the distance together. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes: “Minato, when Kushina gives birth, I will personally lead the team to protect her.”
Minato nodded, a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that protecting Kushina and the child was not only protecting the future of Konoha, but also protecting his own happiness.
As night falls, the Hidden Leaf Village gradually sinks into tranquility. Behind this tranquility, Fugaku and Minato are ready to meet the upcoming challenges.
25 The due date is coming (old version)
In the Konoha Ninja Village, a bright moon hangs high in the sky, shining brightly, but it cannot dispel the haze lurking in the dark. A simple delivery room outside the village is guarded by the barrier carefully arranged by the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and many ANBU masters. This is where Uzumaki Kushina is about to welcome a new life. The Third Hokage’s wife Sarutobi Biwako and the ANBU female ninja Taji acted as midwives, waiting nervously and attentively, while the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato is like a golden mountain, guarding Kushina. His eyes are firm, but he can’t hide the worry in his heart.
With her bulging belly, Kushina staggered towards the delivery room with the help of Minato. Her face was rosy and full of happiness and anticipation of becoming a mother. On the way, she met her good friend Uchiha Mikoto unexpectedly. Mikoto was holding Uchiha Sasuke in her arms, and her small face was sleeping quietly in her mother’s arms. Kushina looked at the baby tenderly and said to Mikoto softly, “Mikoto, after my child is born, you must become good friends with Sasuke.” Their conversation floated in the night wind, as if they had made a beautiful promise for the two children.
Entering the delivery room, Kushina changed into comfortable clothes and lay on the delivery bed. The midwives acted quickly. Biwako held Kushina’s hand and encouraged her: “Kushina, relax, everything will go well.” And Tianlu prepared various delivery instruments with a focused look. Minato stood by the bed, his chakra always alert, guarding the Nine-Tails Seal in Kushina’s body. As the delivery progressed, pain gradually appeared on Kushina’s face. She bit her lips tightly, and fine beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead. Minato held her other hand and comforted her softly: “Kushina, I’m here, don’t be afraid, you are the bravest.”
However, at this critical moment, the violent chakra of the Nine-Tails began to stir, attacking the seal again and again. Minato frowned, he could clearly feel the shaking of the seal, so he quickly condensed his chakra to reinforce the seal. Kushina also gritted her teeth, mobilized her own chakra, and worked with Minato to resist the impact of the Nine-Tails. With their joint efforts, the Nine-Tails’ restlessness was calmed down again and again. After a long and difficult wait, with a clear and loud cry, Uzumaki Naruto finally came into this world. Kushina closed her eyes tiredly but happily, tears sliding down her cheeks. Minato looked at his son in his arms, with black hair and red face. His eyes were moist, and a drop of crystal tears fell on Naruto’s little face.
This warm moment was fleeting. Minato, who was on a mission outside, suddenly sensed an abnormal chakra reaction in the village. He was startled and quickly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to Konoha in an instant. The scene in the village made his heart sink to the bottom. The Anbu ninjas fell to the ground in a mess, with no life in their chests. In the delivery room, the masked man who called himself “Uchiha Madara” had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Minato arrive, an evil sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He moved swiftly, using the space-time ninjutsu to penetrate the rock wall, instantly killing the two midwives and taking away the baby Naruto.
Minato was furious, his chakra surged like a golden hurricane, and was about to rush forward to snatch it. However, the masked man threw Naruto into the air in a despicable manner and threatened: “Let go of the Jinchuriki, and I can let this child go.” Minato had no choice but to take Naruto and watched the masked man turn and leave. The masked man brought Kushina to an open area. He sneered and told Kushina his conspiracy: “Nine-tailed Fox, raze Konoha to the ground!” As he said that, he opened the Sharingan and forcibly controlled the Nine-tailed Fox to break the seal.
The moment the Nine-Tails was extracted, powerful chakra burst out like a mountain torrent. Kushina only felt a huge force being extracted from her body. Her body softened and she fell to the ground. But the strong physique of the Uzumaki clan allowed her to remain a little conscious even when she was dying. Minato arrived in time and hugged Kushina. He brought Kushina home and placed her on the bed. Kushina weakly held Minato’s hand: “Minato, protect Naruto… I can’t feel chakra…” Minato had tears in his eyes and held her hand tightly: “Kushina, you will be fine, let’s protect Naruto together.”
At this time, the masked man had summoned the Nine-Tails to the center of Konoha. The huge Nine-Tails was like a world-destroying demon, opening its bloody mouth and wantonly destroying the village. The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen stood on a high place, looking at the village shrouded in flames and ruins, his old face full of grief and anger. He shouted: “All ninjas, defend Konoha!” Immediately, the ninjas rushed towards the Nine-Tails like arrows from a bow, and fought a desperate battle with it.
26 Minato fights the masked man (old version)
Arriving outside the village that was being attacked by the Nine-Tails, Minato’s heart was instantly filled with anger. He saw the villagers’ terrified expressions, heard the cries from afar, and saw the ruins that were blown up by the Nine-Tails’ Tailed Beast Ball. In the chaos, he saw that familiar figure – the masked man.
The masked man stood beside the Nine-Tails, his eyes full of madness and persistence. He looked at Minato, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and sneered: “Hokage, do you think you can stop me? The power of the Nine-Tails will destroy this village.”
Minato showed no fear. He clenched his fists and the golden chakra in his body began to surge: “Who are you? I will stop you, for Konoha, for my family.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Minato disappeared from the spot, and the next moment he appeared in front of the masked man. His right fist condensed golden chakra, and he smashed towards the masked man fiercely. The masked man reacted quickly, and he quickly activated the divine power to become a virtual reality. A strange black mist appeared around his body, trying to swallow up Minato’s attack.
But Minato had already seen through his tricks, he quickly stretched out his left hand, grabbed the masked man’s wrist, and then performed Flying Thunder God 2. His body was wrapped in golden lightning, and his speed suddenly increased to a higher level, instantly breaking through the defense of Kamui, and pushing the masked man to the ground.
Blood spurted out of the masked man’s mouth, and his body fell heavily to the ground, dust flew up, and a pale hand fell to the ground. Minato did not pause at all, and quickly formed a seal beside him. A golden chakra chain flew out of his hand and wrapped around the masked man’s body, successfully sealing the connection between the masked man and the Nine-Tails.
The masked man’s face turned pale instantly. He never expected that Minato would break his plan so quickly. Amid the roar of the Nine-Tails, Minato turned and looked at the Nine-Tails, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
The masked man gradually disappeared into the darkness in this failure.
The Nine-Tails wreaked havoc in the Hidden Leaf Village, its chakra fluctuations like a violent storm, leaving a mess wherever it went. Under the attack of the Nine-Tails’ Tailed Beast Ball, the buildings of Konoha were instantly reduced to dust, and raging flames spread wantonly on the ruins. The villagers were terrified and fled in all directions, their screams intertwined with the roars of the Konoha ninjas, forming a chaotic and desperate movement.
After learning about the Nine-Tails’ attack on Konoha, Uchiha Fugaku immediately summoned the elite members of the Uchiha clan. He stood in front of his clan members, his eyes burning with anger and determination. His voice echoed in the conference room: “Konoha is facing an unprecedented crisis. The Nine-Tails’ attack has plunged the entire village into chaos. As part of Konoha, we, the Uchiha clan, must not sit idly by. I order everyone to prepare to go out immediately to support Konoha’s defense!” The members of the Uchiha clan responded quickly. They were dressed in black combat uniforms, holding various weapons, and their eyes revealed perseverance and determination. Uchiha Itachi tightly grasped the kunai in his hand, and his eyes flashed with a hint of tension and expectation. This was his first time to participate in such a major battle.
However, just as the Uchiha clan was about to set off, they were intercepted by the Root troops. The Root members emerged from the darkness and surrounded the Uchiha clan like a shadow. The Root captain stood at the front, with a sneer on his face, and his eyes were full of suspicion and hostility towards the Uchiha clan. He spoke slowly, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice: “Uchiha Fugaku, where are you going? At this time of crisis for the village, you Uchiha clan should not do anything stupid.” Fugaku frowned, and he said grimly: “The Nine-Tails is destroying Konoha, and we Uchiha clan are going out to fight!” The Root captain snorted coldly, with a sly look in his eyes: “Fugaku, your loyalty is questionable. If you Uchiha clan go out, you might take the opportunity to do something.” As he said, he waved his hand to signal the Root members to stop the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Fugaku was furious when he saw this. He stepped forward and shouted, “You are wasting time! The Nine-Tails will not stop destroying us because of our internal fighting!” His chakra surged instantly, and his Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly opened. Complex patterns flashed in his red eyes, releasing a powerful aura. At the same time, he activated the Chaos Transformation, and a strange light appeared on the surface of his body, and his full attribute strength doubled instantly. The root members felt this powerful force and couldn’t help but take a few steps back, but still blocked the way.
Fugaku’s figure flashed and instantly appeared in front of the Root captain. His speed was so fast that he had no time to react. A heavy punch hit him in the face, knocking him back. Then, he turned around and shouted to the Root members: “Get out of my way!” His voice revealed unquestionable majesty, and the powerful momentum pressed towards the Root members like a wave. The Root members retreated one after another, making way for the Uchiha clan.
The Uchiha clan finally broke through the Root’s blockade and headed towards the center of the Nine-Tails. They were constantly blocked by the Root’s teams on the way, but they were repelled by their strong strength and united will. When they finally arrived at the battlefield where the Nine-Tails was, the scene in front of them made everyone gasp. The huge figure of the Nine-Tails looked particularly terrifying under the moonlight. Its nine tails burned like flames, and every swing brought up a strong wind, destroying the surrounding buildings.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was fighting the Nine-Tails, his chakra burning like a flame, but facing the powerful attack of the Nine-Tails, he seemed a little powerless. Fugaku walked quickly to Hiruzen and shouted: “Sandaime, we are here to help you!”
When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard Fugaku’s voice, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: “Fugaku, you are here!”
Fugaku quickly ordered the Uchiha clan ninjas to disperse and attack the Nine-Tails. He personally confronted the Nine-Tails, and his Mangekyō Sharingan locked onto the Nine-Tails’ every move. His eyes surged with power, and a black flame went straight to the Nine-Tails. This was Uchiha Fugaku’s eye technique, Amaterasu. Unlike ordinary fire escape techniques, this black flame contained a more powerful destructive power. Moreover, Fugaku’s power was doubled against male creatures, and Amaterasu’s damage was even more extraordinary. The Nine-Tails howled in pain.
The Nine-Tails roared loudly, and one of its tails swept towards Fugaku. Fugaku did not retreat but advanced, and cleverly dodged the attack of the tail by turning his body to the side. He instantly appeared behind the Nine-Tails, and the Uchiha sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and slashed at the Nine-Tails’ tail. Although the Nine-Tails’ tail was as hard as steel, it was cut off by Fugaku’s powerful chakra and superb swordsmanship.
The Nine-Tails roared in pain and turned to face Fugaku. Its eyes flashed with angry red light, and a powerful wave of chakra surged out of its body. Fugaku felt this powerful force and was shocked, but he did not retreat. He activated the Chaos Transformation again, and the chakra surged wildly, and the surface of his body glowed even more dazzlingly. He shouted loudly, formed seals with his hands, and then slapped the ground. The ground cracked instantly, and black flames surged out of the ground and rushed straight to the Nine-Tails.
These flame chains tightly wrapped around the Nine-Tails’ body, trying to restrain it. The Nine-Tails struggled desperately, and its chakra collided with Fugaku’s chakra in the air, making a deafening roar.
At this moment, Minato arrived at the battlefield with Kushina and Naruto. Minato looked at Fugaku and shouted, “Fugaku, I’m going to seal the Nine-Tails! You and your clansmen try to hold it back and buy me some time!”
The Nine-Tailed Fox felt the threat of the sealing technique and became even crazier. It let out a deafening roar, and the chakra fluctuations around its body instantly increased several times. The powerful force broke the Amaterasu chains that bound it, and at the same time a wave of scorching chakra swept in all directions.
Fugaku avoided the attack and dodged towards the Nine-Tails’ head. He punched it hard and the Nine-Tails fell to the ground. At this time, Minato’s seal was ready, “Eight Trigrams Seal!”
The Nine-Tails instantly split into two, one half went to Kushina and the other half went to Naruto. The chakra under the weight woke Naruto up instantly and he cried.
The crisis of the Nine-Tails was finally resolved, and the villagers of Konoha gradually recovered from the panic. They supported each other in the ruins and began to rebuild their homes. The ninjas cleaned up the ruins and repaired the damaged buildings. Although the Nine-Tails’ attack brought huge losses to Konoha, it also made the villagers more united.
27. Post-disaster reconstruction (old version)
After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Hidden Leaf Village was devastated and in ruins. The villagers fled in panic, many families were torn apart, and cries and shouts for help were intertwined. Smoke filled the air, flames shot up into the sky, and low groans were heard from the ruins from time to time. The injured villagers huddled in the corner, their eyes full of fear and helplessness. The ninjas fell to the ground in all directions, some were seriously injured, and some had already died, their blood dyed the land red.
Namikaze Minato stood on a relatively intact building, looking at the scene in front of him, his heart filled with grief and anger. He knew that now was not the time to indulge in grief, he had to act immediately to save Konoha.
“Everyone listen to my orders!” Minato shouted, his voice full of unquestionable majesty. His golden chakra surged, as if to dispel the darkness around him. At this moment, he was not only the fourth Hokage, but also the hope of Konoha.
The ninjas of Konoha quickly launched a rescue operation. Medical ninjas treated the wounded in a makeshift medical station. They bandaged the wounds and treated the burns of the wounded with skillful techniques, stabilizing the emotions and injuries of the wounded. The young ninjas were responsible for maintaining order at the scene. They shuttled among the crowd, evacuated the gathered villagers, and prevented the chaos from further expanding. Some experienced ninjas searched for survivors in the ruins, using their keen chakra perception to find the villagers buried under the rubble.
“Hold on, we will definitely find your family!” A medical ninja comforted a crying villager. Her voice was a little choked, but more firm.
“Hokage, what should we do next?” A young ninja ran up to Minato, there was still a hint of childishness on his face, but his eyes revealed determination.
Minato took a deep breath, his eyes flashed with determination: “Now, our top priority is rescue and stabilizing the situation. The medical team continues to treat the wounded, and the rescue team continues to search for survivors. Other ninjas, follow me!”
Minato led the remaining ninjas to clean up the ruins. They used various ninjutsu to move the huge stones and burning wooden beams. Minato’s golden chakra burned like a flame. He punched a huge rock and it instantly broke in two. He loudly encouraged the ninjas around him: “Come on! The future of Konoha is in our hands!”
Under the leadership of the ninja, the villagers gradually joined the rescue and cleanup work. Some strong villagers were responsible for carrying smaller stones and wood to provide materials for reconstruction. The craftsmen were responsible for designing and building temporary shelters to provide shelter for the homeless villagers.
“We can’t just give up!” a villager shouted, his voice full of determination as he wielded a shovel, moving the rubble aside.
“Yes! Konoha is our common home, we must rebuild it!” another villager responded, his face covered with dust, but there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Namikaze Minato quickly called a meeting of the remaining high-ranking ninjas to discuss the reconstruction plan. He stood in the middle of the meeting room with a firm look in his eyes: “Everyone, Konoha has experienced an unprecedented disaster, but we cannot give up. Now, we must immediately start rescue and reconstruction work.”
“Hokage-sama, the first thing we need to do is stabilize the situation and ensure the safety of the villagers.” An older ninja suggested, his face full of fatigue, but there was still a hint of calmness in his eyes.
“I agree. We also need to count the casualties and develop a detailed reconstruction plan.” Another ninja added, his voice a little hoarse, obviously he had been running around for a long time.
Minato nodded: “Okay, I will entrust you to handle these matters. Now, time is life, we must race against time.”
In the following days, the reconstruction work was fully launched. Under the leadership of the ninjas, the villagers actively participated in the reconstruction work. Some strong villagers were responsible for carrying stones and wood from the ruins to provide materials for the reconstruction work. The craftsmen were responsible for designing and building new houses and buildings.
The ninjas used their respective strengths and ninjutsu to assist in the reconstruction. The earth escape ninjas used earth escape techniques to compact the land and build walls, while the water escape ninjas were responsible for extinguishing fires and clearing the water in the ruins. The wind escape ninjas cleared the dust in the air to make breathing smooth.
Under the leadership of Fugaku, the Uchiha clan actively participated in the reconstruction work. They used their own chakra advantages to help clean up the ruins and repair the buildings, while also secretly protecting the safety of the villagers. Fugaku also organized the craftsmen in the clan to help design more solid defense facilities to enhance the security of Konoha.
“Everyone, work harder! For the future of Konoha!” Fugaku’s voice echoed at the reconstruction site. He led the way, waving the tools in his hands non-stop. There was a hint of determination in his eyes, as if telling everyone that the Uchiha clan would be the backbone of Konoha’s reconstruction.
As time went by, Konoha gradually regained its former vitality. In the process of rebuilding their homes, the villagers also regained hope and confidence in life.
Hokage Minato Namikaze gave a speech at the rally, encouraging the villagers to keep working hard to rebuild a better Konoha. He stood on the high platform, and although his Hokage robe was a little dusty, he still looked majestic. His voice was loud and powerful, echoing in the ears of every villager: “Villagers of Konoha, our homeland has experienced an unprecedented disaster, but we have not been defeated. On the contrary, we have united as one and have overcome the most difficult times together. Now, our homeland needs to be rebuilt, not only for our future, but also for our descendants.”
The villagers responded with warm applause. They believed that with everyone’s joint efforts, Konoha would be able to regain its glory and become one of the most prosperous villages in the ninja world. The children played on the ruins, their laughter was crisp and pleasant, as if telling of new hope and future.
Although the road to rebuilding Konoha is long and difficult, everyone firmly believes that as long as they unite as one, they will be able to rebuild a better home. And this home will become the eternal pride in their hearts.
28 Convening a Jounin Conference (Old Version)
Minato Namikaze stood in the Hokage’s office, looking at the pile of documents in front of him, frowning. It has been a while since the Nine-Tails Rebellion, but Konoha’s reconstruction still faces many challenges. Today, he decided to hold a meeting of jonin to discuss the reconstruction progress and future plans.
“Everyone, we have gathered you here today to discuss the reconstruction work and the security of Konoha after the Nine-Tails Rebellion.” Minato’s voice was low and powerful, echoing in the conference room.
At the beginning of the meeting, Minato first asked the ninja in charge of statistics to report the losses. “The Nine-Tails Rebellion destroyed about one-third of Konoha’s buildings, including 50 residences, 10 public facilities and several training grounds. In terms of casualties, we lost 15 elite ninjas and 30 ordinary villagers, and another 50 were injured.” The ninja’s voice was steady, but every word was heavy.
“These figures are shocking.” Minato sighed, “We must speed up the reconstruction process and ensure that such tragedies will not happen again.”
The ninja in charge of reconstruction continued to report: “At present, we have cleared most of the ruins, and temporary housing has been set up for the homeless villagers. It is expected that the reconstruction of most of the houses can be completed within three months.”
“Very good, but we have to ensure the quality of the reconstruction.” Minato nodded in affirmation, “At the same time, I hope everyone can give more suggestions on how to make Konoha’s buildings stronger and more defensive.”
Minato’s eyes swept over every jonin present: “The Nine-Tails Rebellion exposed the shortcomings of our defense. I propose to strengthen Konoha’s defense system, including adding sentries, setting up new barriers, and training more defensive ninjas.”
“I agree.” Sarutobi Hiruzen was the first to speak out, his eyes revealing a hint of seriousness, “We also need to conduct a comprehensive review of the existing defense strategies to identify potential loopholes.”
“Then let’s immediately start formulating a detailed defense upgrade plan.” Minato’s tone was filled with an unquestionable firmness.
“Hokage-sama, we have begun researching a new defensive barrier and plan to add several watchtowers outside the village so that we can detect potential threats in advance.” A young jonin added, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
“Very good, keep it up.” Minato nodded approvingly.
“In addition, we must also be vigilant about the movements of other ninja villages.” Minato frowned slightly, “During the critical period of our reconstruction, we cannot give other villages an opportunity to take advantage of us.”
“I have arranged intelligence ninjas to closely monitor the movements of the Sand Village and the Mist Village.” A jonin stood up, his eyes revealing a hint of coldness. “No obvious abnormalities have been found so far, but we must remain vigilant.”
“Very good, continue to strengthen intelligence gathering.” Minato nodded, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
“Hokage, we also plan to strengthen the patrol team, especially night patrols, to ensure that we can detect and respond to any abnormal situations in the first place.” Another Jonin added.
“Well, this is very important. Make sure it is carried out properly.” Minato responded.
As the meeting progressed, all topics were fully discussed. Minato thanked everyone for their active participation: “Thank you for your suggestions and efforts. Now, I declare the meeting over. Please act as soon as possible according to today’s discussion.”
The jonin left the meeting room one by one, their faces were a little tired, but their eyes were full of determination. Konoha’s future needed their joint protection, and the decision made at today’s meeting would be an important step towards Konoha’s revival.
“Minato, this meeting was a success.” Sarutobi Hiruzen said before leaving, with a hint of approval in his eyes.
“Yes, I hope we can restore Konoha to its former prosperity as soon as possible.” Minato responded with a smile and watched Hiruzen leave.
29 Obito’s Reaction (Old Version)
After the Nine-Tails Rebellion was quelled, Obito walked slowly through a forest. His eyes revealed a hint of complex emotions, his heart was full of reflections on past actions and planning for the future. After a while, Black Zetsu appeared.
Black Zetsu has a strange appearance. Its twisted body and eyes that flash with strange light are particularly dazzling.
“Obito, since the Nine-Tails was not captured successfully, Konoha will definitely strengthen the supervision of the Jinchūriki. You were too impulsive this time.” Black Zetsu’s voice was low and hoarse, with a chilling feeling.
Obito’s voice was equally deep: “Black Zetsu, I have my own plans.”
“Obito, what’s your plan?” There was a hint of sarcasm in Black Zetsu’s voice.
Obito’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: “This is the price we must pay to achieve our goal. I must move on, otherwise Rin’s death will be meaningless.”
“Price?” There was a hint of sneer in Black Zetsu’s voice, “I don’t understand the meaning of your actions?” Black Zetsu’s words revealed his dissatisfaction with Obito and his doubts about Obito’s behavior.
Obito took a deep breath, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes: “I don’t mean to hurt anyone, I just hope that everyone can live in a world without pain and sorrow. Rin’s death made me understand that only infinite moon reading can achieve true peace.”
“I hope you can be more cautious next time you act.” Black Zetsu’s eyes became sharper. “You need to re-evaluate your actions so that the Moon Eye Project can succeed sooner.”
Obito was silent for a moment, then slowly said: “I understand.”
Black Zetsu looked at Obito quietly. He knew that this man had been consumed by the pain and hatred of the past, but he still held a glimmer of hope that he could realize his ideals. “Obito, our plan is not over yet. Now, we need to consider the next move. You must continue to hide in the dark and wait for the right time. Remember, your ideals are our common goals, but you must learn to act more cautiously.”
Obito nodded, his eyes flashing with determination: “I understand. I will continue to hide my identity and wait for the right time.”
“Minato’s strength does make the implementation of our plan more difficult.” Black Zetsu said, “But we cannot ignore Fugaku’s potential. His ambition and pursuit of power may become a variable in our future plans.”
Obito nodded: “Indeed, Minato-sensei is very strong and saw through Kamui in an instant, but I will definitely not lose next time. But Uchiha Fugaku’s power is indeed beyond my imagination. I didn’t expect that Uchiha could even open a pair of Mangekyō.”
“So, we need to keep a close eye on the movements of Minato and Fugaku.” Black Zetsu continued, “Although Minato’s sealing technique is powerful, it also has its weaknesses. We need to find a breakthrough to get the Nine-Tails’ power back under our control.”
A firm look flashed in Obito’s eyes: “I understand. I will pay close attention to Konoha’s movements, especially the actions of Minato and Fugaku. Any factors that may threaten our plan must be eliminated in time.”
Black Zetsu nodded with satisfaction: “Very good. Remember, our goal is to achieve infinite Tsukuyomi, and we must do so at all costs. Now, continue your mission, Obito.”
Obito nodded, turned and left, his figure gradually disappeared in the night. He knew that the road ahead was full of challenges, but he was ready. For Lin and his ideals, he had to keep moving forward.
30. Rumors are spreading (old version)
After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Hidden Leaf Village was devastated. While the villagers were rebuilding their homes, they were also looking for the truth of the incident. Shimura Danzo, the shrewd Konoha high-ranking official, had his own plans in mind. He had always been wary and suspicious of the Uchiha clan, believing that the Uchiha clan’s ambitions were an important factor in Konoha’s instability. After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Danzo immediately seized the opportunity and tried to put the blame for the disaster on the Uchiha clan.
In the high-level meeting of Konoha, Danzo took the lead and claimed that he had evidence that the Uchiha clan was involved in the Nine-Tails Rebellion. He implied that the Uchiha clan was willing to release the Nine-Tails and create chaos in order to gain more power and resources. Danzo’s words were so convincing that some high-level ninjas who did not know the truth began to waver and doubt the Uchiha clan.
“The Uchiha clan has always been dissatisfied with Konoha. This time the Nine-Tails Rebellion was most likely a conspiracy planned by them.” Danzo said at the meeting, with a sinister look in his eyes.
“Danzo, do you have any evidence?” Sarutobi Hiruzen asked seriously. Although he was wary of the Uchiha clan, he was unwilling to wrongly accuse a clan without any evidence.
“The magatama in the Nine-Tails’ eyes was clearly visible to the whole village. It must have been done by Uchiha.” Danzo continued, with an unquestionable firmness in his voice.
Danzo’s words quickly spread among Konoha’s high-ranking officials, and some ninjas who did not know the truth began to cast doubts on the Uchiha clan. Danzo took the opportunity to spread these rumors to the villagers through his network of contacts. He used the villagers’ fear of the Nine-Tails Rebellion and their uncertainty about the future to incite their dissatisfaction and hostility towards the Uchiha clan.
“The Uchiha clan has always been an unstable factor. This time, the Nine-Tails Rebellion might have been caused by them.” Danzo spread rumors among the villagers. There was a hint of worry in his voice, as if he was thinking about the future of the village.
“Really? Then we have to be careful.” After hearing this, a villager looked worried.
“Yes, the Uchiha clan doesn’t look very reliable.” Another villager echoed, with a hint of hostility in his eyes.
As the rumors spread, the situation of the Uchiha clan in Konoha became increasingly difficult. The villagers began to distance themselves from the Uchiha clan, and some merchants who had originally had a good relationship with the Uchiha clan also began to reduce their dealings with them. After learning about these rumors, Uchiha Fugaku thought that since that was the case, he should deal with Danzo first.
“These rumors are ridiculous! Don’t worry, I will solve it.” Fugaku said angrily at the clan meeting, his eyes revealing a determination to win.
“Chief, what should we do now?” an Uchiha asked worriedly, his face full of anxiety.
“Everyone continue to do your own things.” Fugaku took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm, “I will find the real culprit behind this.”
31 Fugaku’s Response (Old Version)
Uchiha Fugaku was wandering anxiously outside the Hokage’s office. His eyes revealed a rare tension and seriousness, and he was obviously troubled by some major discovery.
“Sir Yondaime, I have important matters to report and request a jonin meeting.” Fugaku’s voice was filled with urgency and he looked at Minato firmly.
Minato was infected by Fugaku’s serious expression, realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately agreed to his request: “Fugaku, please wait a moment, I will arrange a meeting right away.”
Fugaku nodded, feeling a little relieved. He knew that this meeting would determine the future of Konoha and would also clear the Uchiha clan of their grievances.
In the meeting room, Konoha’s high-ranking ninjas gathered together. Namikaze Minato, Sarutobi Hiruzen and other jonin took their seats, waiting for Fugaku’s speech. There was a tense atmosphere in the air, and everyone could feel the importance of this meeting.
“Everyone, there have been rumors in the village recently that the Uchiha clan released the Nine-Tails. After my investigation, I called everyone here today to uncover the real culprit behind the Nine-Tails attack.” Fugaku’s voice echoed in the conference room, and every word seemed unusually heavy.
The jonins present at the meeting were talking to each other, their eyes focused on Fugaku. They knew that Fugaku would not speak without a purpose, and his speech must have important content.
“After careful investigation, I found that the real mastermind behind the incident was Danzo Shimura!” Fugaku’s words were like a bombshell, causing an uproar in the venue.
Hiruzen and the other jonin were shocked by the accusation and looked at Danzo in disbelief. Danzo’s face suddenly turned ugly.
“Fugaku, what evidence do you have?” Hiruzen’s voice was anxious and serious. He needed solid evidence to support this shocking accusation.
Fugaku then activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, and the lights in the conference room seemed to be swallowed by its light. Fugaku’s chakra surged, and his all-attribute strength instantly doubled. The powerful aura he exuded made everyone present feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
“First, I need to ask some questions. I hope that the Fourth Generation will answer truthfully.” Fugaku’s voice was deep and powerful. “Fourth Generation, during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, you fought against the mastermind. Can you tell us the information?”
“Of course, the enemy is wearing a black robe, a single-eye yellow spiral mask, one eye is a Sharingan, and he is proficient in space-time ninjutsu.” Minato answered in detail.
“Doesn’t this prove that the murderer is Uchiha?” Danzo questioned.
“At first, I also thought it was the Uchiha’s external bloodline, or even the descendant of Uchiha Madara, but during the investigation, I found something strange. The arm of the enemy that the Fourth Hokage had broken was left at the scene. After analysis by professionals, it was found that the hand was similar to the cells of Hashirama-sama. And in Orochimaru’s laboratory materials, I found some information.”
“Sir Danzo, I’m sorry.” Before Fugaku finished speaking, he instantly appeared behind Danzo, grabbed Danzo’s neck, lifted him up, and used a kunai to cut open Danzo’s bandages.
“Look carefully, Master Danzo’s body!”
Hiruzen and the other jonin only then noticed Danzo’s abnormality.
“Danzo, your right eye is a Sharingan, and the cells of the First Hokage were transplanted into your arm. Also, during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, no Root ninja showed up to seal the Nine-Tails. Instead, some Root ninjas showed up with the so-called orders from the Hokage, forbidding the Uchiha to help. Can you explain this, Lord Danzo?” Fugaku’s voice was like a judgment, and every word seemed to be a stab in Danzo’s heart.
Danzo’s face turned pale as paper in an instant, and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, but was quickly replaced by anger. He realized that his secret had been exposed, and years of disguise collapsed at this moment.
“This… This is impossible!” Danzo’s voice was hoarse and unbelievable, his eyes were full of despair and anger, “You can’t do this to me!”
“Danzo, in pursuit of power and to realize your ambitions, you used the cells of the First Hokage for illegal experiments and stole the Uchiha clan’s Sharingan. You even released the Nine-Tails in order to become Hokage. Your betrayal of Konoha is undeniable.” Fugaku’s voice was like a judgment, and every word seemed to be a stab in Danzo’s heart.
Hiruzen stood up at this time, his eyes revealing a trace of sadness and anger: “Danzo, in order to achieve your own goals, you are willing to sacrifice innocent people and destroy the peace of Konoha. Your actions seriously violate the laws of Konoha and the moral code of ninjas.”
Minato also stood up, his eyes firm and serious: “We can no longer tolerate such behavior. Danzo, you will be relieved of all your duties in Konoha and will be subject to further investigation.”
The meeting ended in confusion and shock. Danzo was taken away.
32 The whole village was in uproar (old version)
After Uchiha Fugaku revealed that Shimura Danzo was the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails attack, the Hidden Leaf Village was in an uproar. The villagers were shocked and incredulous at the news. They could not imagine that Danzo, who had always been regarded as a hero of Konoha, was the initiator of this disaster.
The news was like a sudden storm, sweeping across Konoha. Villagers gathered in groups of three or five in the streets and alleys, discussing the shocking news. Their voices were filled with shock, anger, and confusion, as if they were still trying to convince themselves that this was not true.
“It’s shocking that Danzo would do such a thing.” An elderly villager said, his voice trembling slightly with shock. In his hand, he held a newly issued notice that clearly recorded Danzo’s crimes. His face was full of disbelief, his eyes widened, as if he was still immersed in a nightmare.
“Yes, I always thought he was a hero of Konoha. Wasn’t he the disciple of the Second Generation? Now it seems that things are far from as simple as we thought.” Another villager echoed, his eyes revealing deep disappointment and confusion. He looked at the buildings destroyed by the war, with mixed feelings in his heart. The image of a hero collapsed at this moment, replaced by a pain of betrayal.
As the investigation deepened, more of Danzo’s crimes were revealed. It turned out that in order to pursue power and realize his ambitions, Danzo used the cells of the first Hokage for illegal experiments and stole the Uchiha clan’s Sharingan. He even deliberately hindered the Uchiha clan’s rescue operation during the Nine-Tails attack to deepen Konoha’s distrust of the Uchiha clan.
“How is this possible? Danzo…” a young mother exclaimed, holding a sleeping baby in her arms. There was a hint of fear in her eyes, as if she was worried that the world she was familiar with would collapse because of this.
“What are we discussing? Danzo’s behavior is indeed outrageous, but what we need to do now is how to make Konoha recover from this crisis.” An experienced elder stepped forward and tried to calm the villagers’ emotions.
“That’s right! We can’t just keep blaming others, we have to think about the future of the village.” Another villager took over the conversation, his eyes revealing determination.
“Danzo used the first Hokage’s cells to conduct illegal experiments and stole Uchiha’s Sharingan. It’s really outrageous!” A young ninja said indignantly, his fists clenched, obviously extremely angry at Danzo’s behavior.
“And he hindered the Uchiha clan’s rescue when the Nine-Tails attacked. This is simply…” another ninja added, with a hint of helplessness and anger in his voice.
The villagers’ emotions gradually shifted from shock and anger to reflection and discussion. They began to realize that the Uchiha clan had always been an important part of Konoha, and their contribution and loyalty were unquestionable. Danzo’s behavior not only betrayed Konoha, but also deepened the rift within the village.
“We shouldn’t have been suspicious and excluded the Uchiha clan before,” a villager said with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
“Yes, we must go and apologize to them as soon as possible.” Another villager nodded in agreement, his face full of sincerity.
The villagers of Konoha began to organize themselves and went to the settlement of the Uchiha clan to express their apologies and gratitude to them. They knew that the Uchiha clan also suffered huge losses in the Nine-Tails attack, but they still stood on the front line to protect Konoha.
Uchiha Fugaku stood among the tribe members, looking at the villagers who were sincerely apologizing, with mixed feelings in his heart. He nodded slightly, his voice low but with a hint of warmth: “Let the past be the past, we should now work together to rebuild Konoha.”
“Patriarch Fugaku is right! The future of Konoha needs our joint protection.” A village representative responded, his eyes full of determination.
As the villagers’ exchanges with the Uchiha clan gradually increased, the atmosphere in Konoha began to change. The barriers and prejudices that once existed slowly melted away like ice and snow under the warm sunshine. The villagers were surprised to find that the Uchiha clan members actually shared their desire for peace, their vision for the future, and their deep attachment to their family and village.
However, just as the villagers were trying to repair their relationship with the Uchiha clan, Danzo’s trial became the focus of Konoha. In the trial, Fugaku, as a key witness, listed Danzo’s crimes in detail. His deep and firm voice echoed in the courtroom, and every word was like a sharp sword, piercing Danzo’s heart.
“Danzo, for the sake of your own ambitions, you have sacrificed innocent people and destroyed the peace of Konoha. Today, it is time for you to pay the price for your actions.” There was unquestionable firmness in Fugaku’s voice, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, fixed tightly on Danzo.
Danzo sat in the dock, his face as pale as paper, a flash of panic in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger. However, in the face of overwhelming evidence, all his excuses seemed so pale and powerless.
In the end, Danzo was sentenced to life imprisonment and deprived of all his positions and rights in Konoha. When the verdict was read out, the entire scene fell into silence. Danzo, who was once high and mighty, has now become a criminal despised by everyone. This contrast made everyone present feel a chill.
The news spread, and the villagers of Konoha were talking about it. They felt sad about Danzo’s end, but they were also full of new expectations for the future of Konoha. Although this incident brought a huge impact to Konoha, it also made the villagers cherish peace and unity more, and brought a new turning point in the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha.
33. Secret Talk in Prison (Old Version)
Sarutobi Hiruzen stepped into the prison of Konohagakure Village. The heavy iron door slowly closed behind him, making a sharp creaking sound. The prison was dark and damp, and the air was filled with the smell of rust and mold. Hiruzen’s footsteps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to declare his determination for this trip.
He walked along the long corridor, hearing the whispers and coughs of prisoners from the cells on both sides. Finally, he came to the cell where Danzo was. Through the iron bars, Hiruzen saw Danzo curled up in the corner, his face was haggard, but his eyes were still as sharp as before.
“Danzo.” Hiruzen’s voice was low and calm, with a hint of majesty that could not be ignored.
Danzo slowly raised his head, his eyes flickering with complex light in the dim light. He chuckled and said, “Hiruzen, I didn’t expect you to come to see me in person.”
Hiruzen did not respond to his sarcasm, but walked straight to the cell and rested his hands on the cold iron bars. His eyes were like torches, looking directly into Danzo’s eyes: “Danzo, in order to become Hokage, you did not hesitate to launch the Nine-Tails attack and put the entire Konoha in danger.”
Danzo snorted coldly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes: “The position of Hokage should be controlled by the most capable person. Everything I do is for the future of Konoha.”
“Your so-called future is nothing but a fantasy built on the blood of countless innocent people!” Hiruzen frowned, his tone becoming more severe, “Have you ever thought about the trauma your actions have brought to Konoha?”
Danzo smiled slightly, his eyes showing madness, “Ignorance! Konoha’s prosperity and peace require a strong leader. Everything I do is to remove obstacles and make Konoha truly powerful.”
“What you’ve done will only lead Konoha to destruction! A true leader should consider the welfare of the villagers, not his own selfish desires,” Hiruzen shouted angrily, his voice echoing in the small cell.
Danzo sneered disdainfully: “What a high-sounding statement! If it weren’t for my plan, the Uchiha clan’s ambition would have swallowed up Konoha sooner or later. I’m just maintaining the stability of the village.”
Hiruzen’s eyes turned cold, and his tone was filled with unquestionable majesty: “Danzo, your actions have seriously violated the ethics of ninjas and the laws of Konoha. What awaits you will be a just judgment.”
Danzo looked at Hiruzen’s departing back, feeling unwilling. He knew that he had become a prisoner, but his desire for the position of Hokage had not yet been extinguished. He suddenly laughed wildly, with a hint of madness in his voice: “Humph, do you think this will end everything? The future of Konoha is far more complicated than you think…”
Hiruzen returned to the Hokage’s office, replaying the conversation with Danzo in his mind. He knew that Danzo’s ambition would not be easily extinguished, and Konoha’s future was still facing hidden dangers. This incident sounded the alarm for Konoha, prompting Konoha’s top leaders to reflect on the power supervision and checks and balances mechanism to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
In this power game, Danzo’s ambition and Hiruzen’s perseverance form a sharp contrast. Hiruzen knows that to protect the peace and stability of Konoha, it requires not only the leadership of a strong man, but also the respect for power and the care for the villagers. Danzo’s failure also warns all those who pursue power not to be blinded by ambition. The future of Konoha will gradually move towards a more stable development path with these lessons.
34. Danzo’s Defection (Old Version)
Danzo spent a long and agonizing time in prison, but his ambition never died. After learning that Konoha’s top brass planned to subject him to a stricter scrutiny, he decided to defect, knowing that only by leaving Konoha could he continue to pursue his goals.
Under Danzo’s careful planning, the Root members began to act in secret. Root member Kurama Ikumo is good at illusion and intelligence gathering, Yamanaka Fuu has strong combat ability and mind control, and Aburame Togen is proficient in insect ninjutsu and can use poisonous insects to create chaos. These three are Danzo’s most trusted subordinates and are responsible for supporting his defection.
Kurama Ichikumo used illusion to create the illusion of a fire in the prison. Flames instantly ignited in multiple areas of the prison, and the guards panicked and rushed to the source of the fire. Yamanaka Kaze quietly sneaked into the guard area, and his figure shuttled through the corridors like a ghost, easily controlling the guards’ minds and making them attack each other, causing chaos in the prison. Aburame Tone was not to be outdone, commanding swarms of poisonous insects to spread in the corridors and passages. The buzzing of the poisonous insects and the screams of the guards intertwined, creating a terrifying atmosphere.
Under the cover of the Root members, Tuan Zang quietly moved a loose brick on the back wall of the cell. Behind the brick was a deep and narrow brick passage, with slippery walls on both sides, and cold and damp air blowing in his face. But he knew that this was the only way to escape from the prison, so he crouched and crawled into the passage. The bricks behind him closed again under the push of the Root members, isolating the noise in the prison. With the faint night light, he identified the intricate forks in the passage, and crawled towards freedom based on the route he remembered.
After escaping from prison, Kurama Ikumo cast a powerful illusion to change the appearance of Danzo and the Root members, allowing them to hide in the streets of Konoha. Aburame Toki’s poisonous insect army set up a clever cover behind them, clearing the traces of fighting along the way and creating countless false trails to lead the pursuers astray, buying precious time for Danzo’s defection.
After the chaos subsided, the prison guards discovered that Danzo had disappeared without a trace, and reported the news to Konoha’s top brass in horror. Konoha fell into an emergency state, and in the Hokage’s office, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Namikaze Minato looked solemn.
“Organize a pursuit team immediately!” Hiruzen ordered, his voice steady but revealing unquestionable majesty, “Don’t let Danzo escape!”
Konoha’s elite ninjas quickly assembled and formed a well-trained hunting team, shuttling through the streets and alleys, carefully searching for Danzo’s possible hiding place. However, Danzo and the Root members had already disappeared in the vast night. The hunting team searched every corner of Konoha for a whole night, but did not even find the shadow of Danzo.
After this defection, Konoha’s top leaders realized the huge security risks within the village and began to comprehensively upgrade the village’s defense system and strengthen supervision of the root organization. The number of patrol teams on the streets doubled, the defense barrier was re-reinforced, the village’s monitoring network was strengthened, and the intelligence collection and analysis system was running at a high speed, so that any disturbance could be detected at the first time. Konoha faced future challenges with a more determined attitude.
Under the protection of the Root members, Danzo came to a secret base. Surrounded by barren mountains and forests, the moonlight shone through the leaves onto the ground, forming patches of light. He looked out the window at night, his heart full of expectations and ambitions for the future. In this secret place, he began to plan his next move, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes, as if he had already outlined a perfect revenge plan in his mind. The Root members were also busy preparing various supplies and weapons, ready to fight for Danzo’s ambitions at any time. Danzo’s defection was only a prologue, and the future story was still quietly brewing in the darkness…
35. Danzo Conspiracy (Old Version)
The corners of Danzo’s mouth slightly raised, revealing a cold smile: “Our next plan is to make Konoha more chaotic. Take the root, your insects can help us collect more intelligence, and at the same time create chaos at a critical moment.”
Kurama Ichiyun nodded, his eyes flashing with excitement: “I understand, sir. I will let the top leaders of Konoha see what they least want to see.”
Aburame Tone smiled slightly, his voice low and calm: “My insects are ready and ready to act at any time.”
Danzo nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes turned to the corner of the warehouse, where some old boxes were piled. He walked to the box and gently lifted it, and the lid opened, revealing some scrolls and weapons. “These are the supplies for our next operation. Everyone knows their mission, so let’s start preparing now.”
Kurama Ichikumo, Yamanaka Kaze, and Aburame Tone all nodded, and they each walked forward and picked up the items they needed. The warehouse was suddenly filled with a tense and busy atmosphere, and everyone was making final preparations for the upcoming operation.
After Danzo defected from Konoha, the news was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in every village in the ninja world.
In the Sand Village, upon hearing about this, Chiyo was furious and slammed the table and said, “This old Danzo has gone crazy. He defected from Konoha for no reason. He is so old that he doesn’t know his place. The whole ninja world will be in turmoil after his disturbance.” Ebizo beside her frowned and said, “Sister, Danzo will probably turn Konoha upside down.” Rasa remained silent, but a trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes. Chiyo pondered for a moment and said, “Don’t underestimate him. Strengthen the defense of the village quickly and send more patrols to keep an eye on him.”
After receiving the news, the elder master of the Hidden Mist Village raised his eyebrows and snorted, “Is Danzo going to stir up the entire ninja world? This old guy’s ambition is really unfathomable.” He immediately convened a high-level meeting to discuss countermeasures. At the meeting table, he said seriously, “Everyone knows that Danzo never plays by the rules. Now that he has defected, it may cause a series of troubles. We must strengthen the defense of the village and pay close attention to any movement in Konoha. If that old guy Danzo dares to come to our side, we must be ready to deal with it at any time.”
Ohnoki, the Tsuchikage of the Hidden Rock Village, was having a meeting with his Iwagakure ninjas. When he heard about Danzo’s defection, his old face instantly turned livid and he cursed, “Old Danzo has finally lost his mind. The whole ninja world will suffer if he does this.” Beside him, Huang Tu, who was tall and strong, had a serious face and said in a deep voice, “Lord Tsuchikage, it seems we have to be more vigilant and strengthen the village’s defense measures to prevent Danzo from causing trouble here.” Ohnoki nodded, with a hint of worry in his eyes, “Yes, I have to send some people to patrol the border so that Danzo won’t have a chance to take advantage of us.”
When Ai from the Raikage Village heard about Danzo’s defection, his burly body shook slightly, his eyes full of surprise and anger. He slammed his fist on the table and roared: “This Danzo is simply playing with fire. Doesn’t he know what he is doing?” Next to him, Killer Bee shook his head and said calmly: “Brother, we must be vigilant to prevent this madman Danzo from bringing the war to us.” Ai took a deep breath, trying to calm down, and then gave an order: “Strengthen the defense of the village and closely monitor the movements of Konoha. If Danzo dares to come to our side, notify me immediately!”
36. Xiao’s reaction (old version)
After the Nine-Tails attack on Konohagakure, the entire ninja world fell into unprecedented turmoil. The news of Danzo’s defection was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves in the ninja world. In the secret base of the Akatsuki organization, Nagato and Konan were having a heated discussion on the matter.
Nagato stood in front of the window of the base, looking at the night sky outside, with a complicated look in his eyes. Konan sat on the sofa, playing with a piece of origami unconsciously.
“Danzo has defected from Konoha.” Konan finally broke the silence. Her voice was very low, as if she was afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the night.
Nagato turned around, his eyes gleaming with a gleam: “I already know the news. It seems that there are more problems within Konoha than we thought.”
Konan nodded. She placed the origami on the table and folded her hands on her knees. “What surprised me even more was that news spread from Konoha that Danzo was the masked man.”
Nagato walked over to the sofa and leaned over the armrest, “This is most likely another conspiracy by Konoha’s higher-ups. We all know Danzo’s ambitions, but to say he’s a masked man is ridiculous.”
Konan frowned slightly: “Are you saying that this is a rumor deliberately spread by Konoha to cover up the truth?”
“That’s right.” Nagato straightened up and looked out the window again. “We are all very clear about Danzo’s ambitions and methods, but we all know the masked man. It can’t be Shimura Danzo.”
“Then why did Konoha do this?” Konan raised her head and her eyes met Nagato’s.
“To divert attention.” Nagato chuckled, with a hint of disdain in his tone, “Pushing the masked man’s crime onto Danzo can not only calm the villagers’ suspicion of the Uchiha clan, but also convict Danzo, killing two birds with one stone.”
Konan was silent for a while. He stood up from the sofa, walked to Nagato and looked out the window together: “So what should we do now?”
Nagato pondered for a moment, his eyes flashing with determination: “We will proceed according to the original plan, and at the same time keep a close eye on Konoha’s movements. Maybe we can find an opportunity in this chaos.”
“What about Danzo? Should we take any action?” Konan asked again, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Nagato smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness in his smile: “Let Konoha solve Danzo’s problem by itself. We just need to sit on the mountain and watch how Konoha and Danzo kill each other.”
Xiaonan nodded in understanding. She turned and walked to the other side of the room, where there was a wooden table with some origami materials scattered on it. He reached out and picked up a piece of paper and began to fold it.
“We will continue to advance the preliminary preparation plan for collecting the tailed beasts.” Nagato’s voice was low and firm, as if injecting strength into himself and the Akatsuki organization. “Although the Nine-Tails has gone wrong, the other tailed beasts are still under our control.”
Xiaonan answered while folding paper: “The organization’s actions cannot stop. We must accumulate strength as soon as possible.”
Nagato nodded, his eyes still fixed on the night sky outside the window: “It’s time to speed up the pace of action.”
As the night deepened, peace returned to the Akatsuki base. Nagato and Konan both knew that the situation in the ninja world was unpredictable and they had to remain vigilant at all times to deal with any challenges that might arise.
37. Danzo wants to cooperate with Orochimaru (old version)
After Danzo defected from Konoha, he had been hiding in the dark like a mouse, thinking about how to take revenge on Konoha.
But he knew very well in his heart that with the little power he had, trying to shake the huge mountain of Konoha was like hitting a stone with an egg.
After much thought, he decided to find Orochimaru, thinking that Orochimaru had enough ability and might be able to find a way.
After Danzo found out the cave where Orochimaru was hiding, he arranged for his subordinates to go out and push open the door of the cave.
It was pitch dark inside, and one could only vaguely see Orochimaru sitting on a stone chair, looking lazy yet dangerous.
“Hey, isn’t this Lord Danzo? Why are you looking for me?” Orochimaru glanced at Danzo with sarcasm.
Danzo was not polite and sneered: “Orochimaru, I came here sincerely to cooperate with you. Since we both have no good feelings towards Konoha, why don’t we join forces to do something big.”
Orochimaru raised an eyebrow and leaned forward, his eyes showing some interest: “Oh? Tell me, how do you plan to cooperate?”
Danzo pulled out a roll of brown paper from his bosom and unfolded it: “I know a lot of Konoha’s confidential information. There are a lot of Konoha ninjutsu files in it. There are also some research materials of my teacher Senju Tobirama.”
Orochimaru’s eyes lit up immediately. He was very envious of the information on ninjutsu of Senju Tobirama. But he didn’t agree immediately. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice: “Danzo, what do you want me to do?”
Danzo pushed the information forward and said firmly: “Orochimaru, you and I are both practical people. This information will definitely be very useful for your research. I need you to study Impure World Reincarnation.”
Orochimaru stared at Danzo for a while, and a smile appeared on his lips: “Okay, let’s try to cooperate. But send the information to me as soon as possible.”
Danzo secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Orochimaru agreed, but he said calmly, “Don’t worry, I, Danzo, will keep my word.”
Orochimaru smiled slightly, revealing his white teeth: “Happy cooperation.”
The two of them were whispering in the cave, discussing how to take advantage of the opportunity of cooperation to beat the other to death. They each had their own ulterior motives, but they didn’t show it on their faces.
At the same time, in Uchiha Fugaku’s mansion, Fugaku was having a secret meeting with Orochimaru’s summoning snake. When Fugaku learned about Orochimaru’s contact with Danzo, his eyes instantly became sharp.
“Orochimaru, have you contacted Danzo?” Fugaku’s tone was filled with a hint of vigilance.
Orochimaru’s clone smiled slightly and replied, “Yes, but don’t worry, our cooperation is still going on as planned.”
“That’s good, Orochimaru, don’t forget our agreement.” Fugaku said in a deep voice.
“Don’t worry, Fugaku-kun, I won’t go back on my word easily.” Orochimaru’s clone disappeared into the night.
Fugaku stood there, his mind racing. He knew that the cooperation between the Uchiha clan and Orochimaru must be kept secret, otherwise it would cause panic in Konoha.
After meeting with Danzo in the cave, Orochimaru decided to use Danzo’s ambition to gain more resources. He knew that Danzo was just a pawn and the real goal was the power of Konoha.
“Danzo, our cooperation is conditional.” Orochimaru’s voice echoed in the cave.
“As long as I can take control of Konoha again, I will agree to any conditions.” There was a hint of urgency in Danzo’s voice.
Orochimaru smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes: “Okay, I will study the Impure World Reincarnation first, but you need to collect more experimental materials for me.”
Danzo nodded, a determined look in his eyes: “As long as I can regain power, I am willing to do anything.”
Orochimaru nodded with satisfaction, knowing that Danzo’s ambition would bring him more opportunities. At the same time, Uchiha Fugaku was also preparing for the upcoming action, and his cooperation with Orochimaru would bring new strength to the Uchiha clan.
As the night deepened, the future of Konoha was caught up in this storm carefully planned by multiple forces.
38.Teaching Apprentices (Old Version)
As the night deepened, the Uchiha clan’s training ground seemed particularly quiet under the moonlight. Fugaku stood in the center of the ground, while Shisui and Itachi stood respectfully in front of him, waiting for the training to begin.
Fugaku looked around at the two of them and said calmly but firmly, “Today, we are going to do a basic ninjutsu training. Shisui, you go first.”
Shisui nodded and straightened his back. Fugaku took out a kunai from his arms and threw it casually. The kunai drew an arc and stuck steadily on the wooden stake in front.
Fugaku nodded slightly, “Not bad, Shisui. Your talent for illusion is indeed strong. But remember, illusion is not just about making things appear to change, but more importantly, it is about making the opponent’s senses misjudge. For example, in actual combat, you can use illusion to make the enemy misjudge your position, so as to seize the opportunity to attack.”
Shisui listened carefully, keeping Fugaku’s words in mind. At this time, Fugaku looked at Itachi again and said, “Itachi, it’s your turn now. I want you to observe my movements carefully and imitate them as quickly as possible.”
Fugaku began to perform complex ninjutsu gestures, his hands changing seals quickly, chakra flowing in his body, forming a set of exquisite sequences. Itachi’s eyes were fixed on Fugaku’s hands, his pupils slightly contracted, as if he wanted to engrave every detail in his mind. After Fugaku completed the last gesture, Itachi reacted instantly and followed suit with his hands. Although his movements were a little jerky, every seal was accurate.
Fugaku had a satisfied smile on his face, “Very good, Itachi. Your observation and imitation skills are excellent. This is a very important skill for a ninja. When performing missions, you may encounter a variety of different ninjutsu. Being able to imitate and master them quickly can often give you an advantage on the battlefield.”
Then, Fugaku took out two more kunai from his arms and threw one to Shisui and Itachi respectively. He said, “Now, I want you two to practice the accuracy of ninjutsu together. You are to use kunai to attack the target in front of you, but try to be as silent as possible.”
Shisui and Itachi looked at each other and nodded at the same time. They took a deep breath and began to gather chakra. Shisui took the lead. His body flashed like a phantom, and the kunai in his hand rushed straight to the target with a fierce momentum. The kunai hit the bull’s eye accurately, making almost no sound.
Fugaku nodded slightly and looked at Itachi again. Itachi was not to be outdone, his movements were even lighter, like a leaf floating in the wind. The kunai in his hand seemed to have life, silently piercing into the target. Fugaku smiled slightly: “You all did a great job. Remember, as an Uchiha ninja, we must not only have great strength, but also precise control and a calm mind.”
Finally, Fugaku asked Shisui and Itachi to sit on the ground and began to talk about some theoretical knowledge of ninjutsu. He explained in detail the properties of chakra, the classification of ninjutsu, and the mutual promotion and restraint between different ninjutsu. Shisui and Itachi listened attentively, asking questions from time to time, and Fugaku patiently answered them one by one.
As the night deepened, the training was drawing to a close. Fugaku patted the two on the shoulders and said earnestly, “Today’s training ends here. Your talents in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu are all good, but you need a strong physique to awaken the Mangekyō. I will find a taijutsu teacher for you. You are the future of the Uchiha clan, and I look forward to your growth.”
Shisui and Itachi bowed respectfully to Fugaku, their eyes full of expectations for the future and respect for their teacher. They knew that under Fugaku’s guidance, they would grow step by step into independent ninjas and bring glory to the Uchiha clan.
39. Might Guy teaches physical skills (old version)
In the early morning, on the training ground of Konoha Village, Might Guy, wearing his iconic green tights, wrist guards and leg sleeves, is doing his high-intensity physical training. His face with thick eyebrows and big eyes is full of youthful vitality. Every punch and kick is full of power and speed, as if he wants to release all the energy in his body. His movements are smooth, but with an amazing explosive power. Every detail shows his ultimate mastery of physical skills.
Uchiha Fugaku happened to pass by here, and when he saw Might Guy’s training, he couldn’t help but stop and watch. He knew that Might Guy’s physical skills were unmatched in Konoha Village, but he was still deeply shocked when he saw it today. Might Guy’s forehead was already covered with sweat, but he still didn’t stop and continued the seemingly endless physical training.
Might Guy finished a set of training and stood in the middle of the field, breathing heavily, with sweat running down his cheeks and dripping onto the dust. At this moment, he noticed Fugaku not far away, and quickly straightened his collar and walked over quickly.
“Good morning, Lord Fugaku.” Might Guy greeted him warmly. Even though he had just done some high-intensity exercise, he still remained energetic when facing Fugaku.
“Might Guy, good morning.” Fugaku nodded slightly, his tone gentle, “I just saw you training, it’s really admirable. Your taijutsu is indeed second to none in Konoha Village. I have been looking for a suitable taijutsu teacher to teach Shisui and Itachi. I wonder if you have free time to help train them? As a reward, I can give you the Uchiha family taijutsu and body-building potion formula. I hope it will be helpful to you.”
After hearing Fugaku’s request, Might Guy’s eyes flashed with excitement. He puffed out his chest and said loudly: “Master Fugaku, this is an incredible honor for me! I have always believed that I can become stronger through physical skills alone. The recognition of the genius Uchiha is the greatest affirmation of me. However, please allow me to refuse to become Itachi and Shisui’s teacher, but I can train with them.”
After hearing this, Fugaku showed a satisfied smile on his face. He nodded and said, “Then I’ll trouble you. I’ll go back and tell Shisui and Itachi today, and ask them to come to you for training tomorrow morning.”
“Okay, Lord Fugaku, that’s settled.” Might Guy agreed readily and waved his fist as if he couldn’t wait to train with Shisui and Itachi.
“Then I’ll take my leave first, Might Guy, thank you.” Fugaku smiled slightly, turned and left the training ground.
Might Guy watched Fugaku leave, his heart full of anticipation for the new training that was about to begin. He knew that this was a responsibility and an opportunity, and he would definitely go all out to help Shisui and Itachi make great progress in physical skills.
When Fugaku returned home, Shisui and Itachi saw him and immediately asked about his gains today. Fugaku looked at his two sons with hope in his eyes: “I have found a physical training teacher for you, he is Might Guy. Starting tomorrow, you will go to the training ground every morning to train with him, understand?”
Shisui and Itachi looked at each other, with a hint of determination in their eyes. Shisui spoke first: “Father, we will definitely train hard and live up to your expectations.”
Itachi immediately nodded in agreement: “Yes, father, we will definitely work hard.”
Fugaku patted the two men on the shoulders with satisfaction: “Very good, I believe you can do it. Might Guy is a very good taijutsu teacher. His training methods are unique and effective. You must learn with an open mind and take every training seriously.”
As night fell, the Leaf Village gradually fell asleep, and in Fugaku’s residence, Shisui and Itachi were still preparing for the upcoming physical training. They sorted out their equipment, checked the ninja tools, and made sure everything was in place. They knew that from tomorrow, their ninja journey would open a new chapter, and Might Guy’s physical training would be a crucial step in their growth.
In order to give Shisui and Itachi an unforgettable first day, Might Guy carefully formulated a challenging training plan. He decided to first use a warm-up match to test their basic level, and then conduct a series of physical exercises, including basic kicking, punching and movement techniques. In the evening, he arranged a high-intensity physical training to enhance their endurance.
The next morning, Shisui and Itachi arrived at the training ground early. Might Guy was already waiting there, and he warmly welcomed the two Uchiha.
“Young men, let’s do some physical training together today!” Might Guy said loudly, his eyes full of anticipation. “I hope you can go all out and show your youthful energy!”
Might Guy first led them through a warm-up exercise, and then began basic physical training. His guidance was very detailed, constantly correcting their movements to ensure that every detail was perfect.
“Remember, taijutsu is not just a combination of strength and speed, it’s also a challenge to the limits of your body!” Might Guy constantly encouraged them during training.
Although Shisui and Itachi felt tired, their eyes were full of persistence and hard work. They knew that this meant they were becoming better ninjas.
As time went by, Shisui and Itachi gradually grew up under the careful guidance of Might Guy. Their physical skills improved significantly and their physical fitness was greatly enhanced.
Might Guy’s training not only improved their combat capabilities, but also taught them how to face difficulties and challenges. His enthusiasm and persistence inspired the two young Uchiha ninjas to constantly break through their limits.
Fugaku was very pleased to see the progress of the children. He knew that Might Guy’s guidance was a valuable asset to them and would play an important role in their future ninja career.
During the training, Might Guy also mastered a lot of ninjutsu information and countermeasures, and combined it with physical skills to improve more details. Might Guy sincerely thanked Fugaku.
40. Watergate’s Request (Old Version)
In the Hokage’s office, Namikaze Minato paced anxiously in front of the table, and the pile of documents seemed to never be finished. His eyes revealed fatigue, but also mixed with a sense of responsibility for the village. Minato knew that as the Hokage, he must always consider the safety of Konoha Village. However, the heavy workload left him no time to care about the mental state of those around him, especially Kakashi.
Kakashi, a talented ninja who became famous at a young age, is now in deep darkness. The suicide of his father Hatake Sakumo pierced his young heart like a sharp blade; and the departure of Obito and Rin made him full of self-blame, as if the pain of the whole world was weighing on his thin shoulders. Minato saw it with his eyes and felt pain in his heart. He understood that Kakashi needed not only a mentor, but also a guide who could understand him and lead him out of the shadows. So he decided to ask Uchiha Fugaku for help.
Minato knew Fugaku’s wisdom and patience, and he believed that Fugaku could be the light for Kakashi. When he made a request to Fugaku, his tone was filled with helplessness and expectation: “Fugaku, I really can’t do anything. Kakashi… you know his current situation, and I really don’t have time to guide him properly. Can you help him?”
After Fugaku heard Minato’s request, he felt mixed emotions. Of course, he knew what Kakashi had gone through, and he felt the pain of that child. But Fugaku’s own apprentice and son, Shisui and Itachi, also needed his guidance and care. But looking at Minato’s tired and anxious eyes, he knew that he couldn’t refuse. After thinking for a moment, he softly agreed: “Okay, I’ll try.”
Fugaku was full of anxiety. He didn’t know how Kakashi would face him, nor did he know if he could really help this child. But he still decided to meet Kakashi first.
Kakashi stood alone in a corner of the training ground, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on his thin shoulders. He looked at the mountains in the distance, but his eyes were unfocused. His heart was in a mess. He couldn’t let go of his father’s death; the departure of Obito and Rin made him fall into deep self-blame. He felt that he was a loser, someone who was not worthy of being a ninja. He didn’t know what else he could do. The wind gently brushed his cheek, but he didn’t notice it.
Fugaku walked slowly, his footsteps were very light, not wanting to disturb Kakashi’s meditation. But Kakashi’s ears caught the subtle sound. He turned around and saw Fugaku. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He didn’t know what Fugaku wanted to talk to him about.
“Kakashi, Minato hopes that I can help you get out of your current predicament.” Fugaku’s voice was gentle, with a hint of concern. He looked at Kakashi’s eyes full of sadness, and his heart was full of pity.
Kakashi was shocked when he heard this. He raised his head and looked into Fugaku’s deep eyes, which were full of doubts: “Why? Why are you helping me?”
Fugaku smiled slightly, his eyes were firm: “Because I believe you can come out of the shadows. Everyone has low points, Kakashi, you are not alone.”
Kakashi’s heart was in turmoil. He didn’t know whether to believe or reject. He was skeptical about Fugaku’s proposal, but he was eager for even the slightest change. In the end, he decided to give himself a chance.
Kakashi followed Fugaku to the Uchiha clan’s training ground. It was very quiet here, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze. Fugaku asked Kakashi to sit down, and then sat down next to him. Kakashi was full of trepidation, he didn’t know what Fugaku would say.
Fugaku began to tell the story of the Uchiha clan, about the family’s glory and setbacks, about the tenacity and unity of the ancestors. His voice was soft, but full of power: “Each of us will experience pain, but what’s important is how to face it. Kakashi, you are strong, I believe you can overcome it.”
Kakashi felt a little warm in his heart when he heard Fugaku’s words. He began to believe that maybe he could really get out of this dark period. He decided to try hard. He wanted to do it for himself and for those who cared about him.
In the following days, Fugaku accompanied Kakashi to chat and train every day. He taught Kakashi how to control his emotions and how to turn pain into strength. Kakashi was also slowly changing. His eyes were no longer so cold, and a smile began to appear on his face.
In the end, Kakashi successfully walked out of the shadow. He became more mature and knew how to cherish the people around him. All this was thanks to Fugaku’s patience and care. Minato was grateful when he saw the changes in Kakashi. He knew that Fugaku’s help gave Kakashi a brand new beginning. And Kakashi also found his own strength and courage in the story of the Uchiha clan.
41. Three-man team (old version)
In the Hokage’s office in Konoha Village, Namikaze Minato was busy dealing with a mountain of documents. His eyes revealed fatigue, but also a sense of responsibility for the village. At this time, Uchiha Fugaku came to the office.
“Minato, I have a suggestion.” Fugaku said straight to the point.
Minato looked up, saw Fugaku, and smiled: “Fugaku, tell me what you think.”
Fugaku walked over to Minato’s desk, his tone calm but firm, “I hope you can form a ninja team with Shisui, Kakashi, and Itachi. You know Kakashi’s recent situation. He has fallen into an inner darkness and needs help. I think that such a team combination can give him a chance to step out of the shadows.”
When Minato heard this proposal, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes. He certainly knew Kakashi’s predicament, and he also knew the potential of Shisui and Itachi. He nodded in agreement: “This is a good idea. Kakashi really needs a team to support him, and Shisui and Itachi can also learn and grow from it.”
Fugaku continued, “Shisui’s genjutsu and Itachi’s potential can both bring advantages to the team. And Kakashi’s rich experience and combat skills can also be used in this team. The three of them can learn from each other and support each other.”
Minato agreed to Fugaku’s proposal and decided to arrange the formation of this team as soon as possible.
Minato and Fugaku decided that Fugaku himself would serve as the temporary instructor of the team until they could find a suitable jonin to guide them. Fugaku agreed and began to prepare for the team’s first mission.
They decided that the team’s first mission would be a relatively simple village patrol mission, so that the three young ninjas would have a chance to get to know each other and bond. They hoped that through this mission, Kakashi would begin to adapt to teamwork and gradually come out of the shadows.
The team’s first gathering was scheduled for the early morning of three days later.
Three days later, Shisui, Kakashi and Itachi gathered at the training ground. The three of them stood together, and the atmosphere was a little tense. Kakashi’s eyes were still a little cold and distant, Shisui seemed a little excited and expectant, and Itachi remained calm and silent.
Fugaku stood in front of them and began to introduce the content and objectives of the mission. He emphasized the importance of teamwork and encouraged them to support and trust each other.
“This mission is a village patrol mission. It’s relatively simple, but it requires close cooperation between the three of you.” Fugaku said, “I hope you can build team tacit understanding through this mission.”
Kakashi was a little reluctant when he heard about this mission. He was used to acting alone and was not very comfortable with such a team mission. But looking at the trusting eyes of Minato and Fugaku, he decided to give himself a chance.
Shisui was looking forward to this mission, and he believed that this team combination would be very interesting. And Itachi, although silent, was also thinking about how to better integrate into this team.
During the mission, the team encountered some minor troubles. During their patrol, they found a group of bandits roaming around the village. Kakashi immediately proposed to take action to protect the safety of the villagers.
Shisui and Itachi agreed, and the three of them began to make plans for a raid on the bandits.
Kakashi used his Raikiri technique to successfully attract the bandits’ attention, while Shisui used illusion to confuse the enemy. Itachi took the opportunity to use his Taijutsu and Kunai techniques to attack the bandits’ weak points.
During the battle, Kakashi gradually let down his guard and began to work closely with Shisui and Itachi. The three of them cooperated well and successfully repelled the bandits.
This successful cooperation made Kakashi feel the power of the team and made him begin to re-examine his own value.
After the mission, the team returned to Konoha Village, where Minato and Fugaku spoke highly of their performance.
Kakashi found some long-lost sense of accomplishment in the mission. He realized that teamwork did not mean a reduction in his ability, but rather allowed him to exert greater strength. He began to gradually walk out of his inner shadow and was willing to cooperate and communicate with others.
Shisui and Itachi also grew in the process. Shisui learned to better control his illusions, while Itachi improved his reaction ability and tactical awareness in battle.
Fugaku was pleased to see the changes in Kakashi. He knew that the formation of this team was just a beginning, but he believed that this would be an important step for Kakashi to be reborn.
Through this mission, the relationship between Shisui, Kakashi, and Itachi became closer. They began to trust each other and support each other. This team not only performed well in the mission, but also played an important role in each other’s growth.
Minato and Fugaku are full of expectations for the future of this team. They believe that these three young ninjas will become the backbone of Konoha Village in the future.
Kakashi also found his place in this team. He was no longer a lonely ninja, but an indispensable member of the team. His heart was gradually filled with warmth and hope, and he began to face the future bravely.
42. Kakashi’s Sharingan (old version)
The setting sun shone on the training ground of Konoha Village, giving everything a golden glow. Shisui, Itachi, and Kakashi stood side by side, looking at the sky dyed red by the setting sun in the distance, and there was a warm and firm atmosphere between them.
“Kakashi, you did a great job today!” Shisui was the first to break the silence, his tone full of admiration and encouragement. He turned around and looked at Kakashi, his eyes shining with sincerity, “You used your Sharingan to block those hidden weapons, it’s amazing!”
“Yeah, Kakashi, you reacted too quickly, I didn’t see it clearly at all.” Itachi also echoed, his voice calm and sincere, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Kakashi was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He lowered his head and said softly: “Actually, my Sharingan was given to me by Obito. He transplanted the Sharingan to me in order to save me.”
Shisui and Itachi were quiet when they heard this, their eyes full of confusion and concern. They could feel the heaviness in Kakashi’s words, and they could also sense the special meaning of this topic to him.
“Obito is my best friend. We have carried out missions together, trained together, and grown together.” Kakashi continued, his eyes becoming a little blurry, as if he had traveled through time and space and saw that familiar figure, “During that mission, I made a mistake and caused Obito to be injured. In order to save me, he sacrificed himself and gave me the Sharingan. I originally refused, but he insisted that I use it to live, become stronger, and protect Rin and Konoha Village.”
He paused, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. Shisui and Itachi listened quietly. They could feel Kakashi’s inner struggle and pain, and they could understand his complicated feelings at the moment.
“Later, Lin also died.” Kakashi’s voice became low again, almost trembling, “I have been blaming myself, thinking that I was the murderer, that I killed them. But now, I understand that I am not fighting alone. I still have friends like you, and I still have Konoha Village to protect. I can’t dwell on the past anymore, I have to keep moving forward for them and for myself.”
Shisui and Itachi looked at each other, with a hint of determination in their eyes. They knew that Kakashi had taken an important step and began to walk out of the shadow of the past.
“Kakashi, you are not alone.” Shisui walked forward and patted Kakashi on the shoulder, his tone full of firmness and support, “We are all your partners, and we will face the challenges of the future together.”
Itachi also nodded and said, “Yes, Kakashi, we will work together to become stronger and protect those important people and things.”
The three of them smiled at each other, and at that moment, the bond between them became even deeper. The sun gradually set, and the afterglow shone on them, as if casting a warm light on their future path.
As the sun completely set and night fell, the three packed up their equipment and walked towards home together. Kakashi looked at the backs of Shisui and Itachi, his heart filled with gratitude and hope. He knew that he was no longer the lonely ninja. He had a partner to rely on and the strength to move forward. Shisui and Itachi also grew up in the process. They learned how to better support and understand their friends, and understood the true meaning of teamwork.
“It’s really thanks to you today.” Kakashi broke the silence with a hint of relief in his tone.
“No way, Kakashi, we are a team.” Shisui said with a smile, his eyes full of sincerity.
“Yes, we will complete more tasks together in the future.” Itachi also agreed, his eyes revealing his anticipation for the future.
Kakashi nodded, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. He knew he was lucky to have met two such trustworthy partners. They walked together, their shadows stretched out in the moonlight, as if foreshadowing that they would walk more roads together and face more challenges in the future.
And on this night, in Kakashi’s heart, the darkness and pain he once felt seemed to no longer be so heavy. He knew that the road ahead was still long, but with the company of Shisui and Itachi, he had the confidence to face everything.
43. Kakashi opens the Mangekyō (old version)
Shisui stood opposite Kakashi, with a hint of curiosity and inquiry in his eyes. He gently closed his eyes and began to use his Kotoamatsukami ability to sense the power of Kakashi’s Sharingan.
“Kakashi, can you feel it?” Shisui asked softly, his voice calm and focused.
Kakashi was slightly stunned, then nodded: “It’s a bit strange, I felt like my Sharingan was gently touched by something.”
Shisui opened his eyes, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: “The power of your Sharingan is really special, Kakashi. It is not just an ordinary Sharingan, it contains very strong power.”
“Strong pupil power?” Kakashi frowned in confusion, “What does this mean?”
Shisui explained: “The power of the Sharingan is always a reflection of the power of the pupil. From what I perceive, your pupil power is higher than mine.”
Kakashi was shocked when he heard this. He nodded, “I understand, Shisui. Thank you. I will go ask Master Fugaku for advice.”
At this moment, Fugaku appeared at the entrance of the training ground. He walked slowly with a gentle smile in his eyes.
“Morning, kids.” Fugaku’s voice was calm and kind.
“Good morning, father/teacher,” Shisui and Itachi greeted in unison.
Kakashi also bowed slightly, “Good morning, Lord Fugaku.”
Fugaku walked up to Kakashi, looked him over carefully, and then said, “Kakashi, I also think your Sharingan is very special. I am willing to help you and try to open the Mangekyō Sharingan.”
Kakashi was shocked when he heard this. The Mangekyō Sharingan is the evolved form of the Sharingan, with more powerful power and unique eye techniques. He knew that it required extremely strong emotional fluctuations to activate, but it also came with huge risks.
“Is it really possible? Lord Fugaku.” There was a hint of anticipation and uneasiness in Kakashi’s voice.
Fugaku nodded, “Of course. However, opening the Mangekyo requires strong emotional fluctuations. You need to recall the things that are most important to you, the emotions that touch your heart.”
Kakashi was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: “I understand.”
Fugaku took Kakashi to a corner of the training ground and found a quiet place to sit down. He asked Kakashi to close his eyes and began to guide him to recall the past.
“Recalling the days you spent with Obito and Rin,” Fugaku said softly, “Recalling the happy times, the days when you trained together and went on missions together.”
Kakashi closed his eyes, and gradually, pictures emerged in his mind. He saw his younger self, working hard with Obito and Rin on the training ground, and supporting each other in missions. Those days were full of laughter and youthful vitality.
“Recall the moment when Obito transplanted the Sharingan into you in order to save you.” Fugaku continued to guide, “Feel the emotions at that time, the grief, the gratitude, the self-blame.”
Kakashi’s breathing gradually became rapid. He saw Obito’s smile in front of his eyes and heard Obito say to him: “Kakashi, you must live well and become stronger.”
A strong wave of emotion surged in his heart, the grief and gratitude intertwined together, as if to tear his heart apart.
“Finally, recall Lin’s death.” Fugaku’s voice became low, “Feel the pain of losing a loved one, that feeling of powerlessness.”
Kakashi’s body trembled slightly. In front of his eyes, he saw the scene of Lin falling down, and heard Lin say to him: “Kakashi, you have to protect Konoha Village.”
His heart was filled with pain and self-blame, but at the same time there was a strong desire to protect him.
At this moment, Kakashi’s Sharingan suddenly changed. In his eyes, three magatama began to slowly rotate, and finally condensed into a three-edged dart pattern. The Mangekyō Sharingan was activated!
Kakashi opened his eyes, and the world before him was different. He could feel a stronger flow of chakra, and could sense more subtle movements. His heart was filled with surprise and shock.
“Great, Kakashi! You did it!” Shisui and Itachi ran to Kakashi, their eyes full of excitement and congratulations.
Fugaku also showed a satisfied smile: “Very good, Kakashi. Your Sharingan has evolved, which will make you stronger. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. You must use this power well to protect those important people and things.”
Kakashi nodded, his heart filled with gratitude: “Thank you, Master Fugaku. I will certainly do that.”
As Kakashi successfully opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, his heart became more resolute. He knew that this was not only an affirmation of himself, but also a promise to Obito and Rin.
Shisui and Itachi were also happy for Kakashi, knowing that the future of this team would be brighter. The bond between the three of them also became stronger because of this experience.
Fugaku was very pleased to see Kakashi’s growth. He knew that his teaching was just a small step in Kakashi’s growth, but this small step would lay a solid foundation for Kakashi’s future.
The setting sun once again shone on the training ground, and the figures of the three stretched out in the afterglow, as if foreshadowing that their future path would be even broader. Kakashi looked at Shisui and Itachi, his heart filled with confidence and hope. He knew that with their support and company, he would be fearless in facing future challenges.
44. Kakashi’s Mangekyō Ability (Old Version)
The setting sun shines on the training ground of Konoha Village. Kakashi stands alone in the middle of the field. His Sharingan has evolved into the Mangekyō Sharingan, but he has not yet fully mastered this new power. He decides to conduct an experiment on the training ground.
Kakashi closed his eyes and recalled the strong emotions he had just felt when he opened the Mangekyō Sharingan. He knew that only when driven by emotions could he truly unleash the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
“Kamui.” Kakashi whispered the name of the technique. His Mangekyō Sharingan began to spin, and the air around him seemed to become distorted. He tried to focus his chakra on his eyes, and felt a powerful force flowing through his body.
At this moment, Kakashi discovered that a strange space distortion phenomenon appeared around his body. He successfully distorted part of the space to form a small space-time distortion area. He tried to throw a small stone into this area, and the stone disappeared instantly.
“Success!” Kakashi was delighted, he saw the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
However, experiments don’t always go smoothly. When Kakashi tried to expand the distortion area, he suddenly felt a strong headache. His body began to shake and his chakra became unstable.
“It seems that the use of the Mangekyō Sharingan will be a great burden on me.” Kakashi realized that such a powerful force requires extremely strong chakra control and physical fitness to control.
He decided to take a break and continue the experiment after his body recovered. Kakashi knew that mastering the Mangekyō Sharingan was not something that could be achieved overnight. He needed time and patience to slowly become familiar with this power.
Just then, Shisui and Itachi came over. They saw Kakashi experimenting with the Mangekyō Sharingan and ran over immediately.
“Kakashi, are you okay?” Shisui asked with concern.
“I’m fine, just a little tired.” Kakashi smiled, “The use of the Mangekyō Sharingan does consume a lot of chakra, and it also puts a certain burden on the body.”
Itachi also nodded, “Yes, we have heard about the disadvantages of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Excessive use can cause eye fatigue and even blindness. It also consumes a lot of chakra, and the body will be very weak after use.”
Kakashi sighed: “I know, but I must master this power. This is what Obito left for me, and it is also my promise to Lin.”
Shisui patted Kakashi’s shoulder, “We understand, but you have to take care of yourself. We will all support you and help you overcome these difficulties together.”
Kakashi nodded, “Thank you.”
Fugaku also came to the training ground, and seeing Kakashi’s condition, he walked up to him and said, “Kakashi, the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan is very strong, but also very dangerous. You need to master it slowly, and don’t rush it.”
Kakashi listened carefully to Fugaku’s instructions: “I will pay attention, Master Fugaku.”
Fugaku continued, “The evolution of the Sharingan does bring great power, but it also comes with a corresponding price. You need to keep a clear mind when using it and not let it control you.”
Kakashi nodded to show that he understood.
The sun gradually sank to the west, and the light on the training ground became softer. Kakashi continued to conduct experiments accompanied by Fugaku and his teammates. He knew that this was just the beginning. He needed to practice continuously to truly master the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
As time went by, Kakashi gradually became familiar with the use of the Mangekyō Sharingan. He learned to control the range and intensity of Kamui, and was able to avoid excessive burden on the body to a certain extent.
However, the drawbacks of the Mangekyō Sharingan still exist. After each use, Kakashi would feel extremely tired, and his eyes would often experience pain and dryness. He realized that this power could not be used at will, and it must be used at the critical moment to achieve its maximum effect.
During a mission, Kakashi’s team encountered a powerful enemy. He decisively opened the Mangekyō Sharingan and used Kamui to transfer part of the enemy’s body to another space, successfully saving his teammates.
After the mission was over, Kakashi fell to the ground due to exhaustion of chakra. Shisui and Itachi immediately stepped forward to support him.
“Kakashi, are you okay?” Shisui asked anxiously.
Kakashi smiled weakly, “I’m fine, I just need to rest.”
Itachi also said: “You are really strong, Kakashi. But we also have to learn to cooperate with you better and reduce your burden.”
Fugaku also arrived at the scene. He looked at Kakashi with his eyes full of relief and distress: “You did a good job, Kakashi. But remember, teamwork is the most important thing. You are very powerful, but only by working together with your teammates can you achieve the greatest effect.”
Kakashi nodded, his heart filled with gratitude. He knew that he was not alone. With Fugaku’s guidance and Shisui and Itachi’s support, he would be able to overcome the difficulties brought by the Mangekyō Sharingan and become a more powerful ninja.
The setting sun once again shone on the training ground. Kakashi looked at Shisui and Itachi, his heart full of confidence and hope. He knew that the road ahead would be full of challenges, but he would not give up. He would continue to work hard, for himself and for those important people and things.
45. Kakashi learns Flying Thunder God (old version)
After dealing with a busy period of Hokage affairs, Minato Namikaze went straight to the training ground. From a distance, he saw Kakashi testing the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Kakashi’s Sharingan released strange spatial fluctuations, sometimes accurately transferring a kunai from one space to another, and sometimes directly moving the wooden stakes used for training out of thin air. Although the movements were not yet skillful enough, the power of space distortion had already begun to show.
Minato’s heart moved, and the shadow of Flying Thunder God Technique flashed through his mind instantly. As a legendary figure of Konoha Village, he knew the exquisiteness of Flying Thunder God Technique very well. This ninjutsu’s use of the power of time and space is similar to Kakashi’s Mangekyō Sharingan. Minato immediately decided to teach Kakashi Flying Thunder God Technique, which would not only greatly improve Kakashi’s combat ability, but also help him better control the newly awakened power and maximize its power.
Minato walked quickly to Kakashi, patted his shoulder, and said in a steady voice with a hint of excitement: “Kakashi, your Mangekyō ability is very interesting. I happen to know a ninjutsu related to space, maybe I can help you use it better.”
Kakashi came back to his senses, looked at Minato with some surprise, and then nodded seriously. He certainly knew Minato’s strength. The title of the Fourth Hokage was not exaggerated.
Minato smiled slightly and went straight to the point, beginning to teach Kakashi the basic principles of the Flying Thunder God Technique. He explained in detail how to place the chakra seals, speaking seriously and patiently, “This seal is like a ‘signpost’ placed in space in advance. The more accurate the placement, the more accurate the subsequent movement.”
Minato took out a few kunai and threw them casually. A few chakra waves flashed, and the kunai were covered with complex chakra marks. “Try to put this mark on the kunai as well.” Kakashi took the kunai and began to arrange the marks attentively, with his eyes highly focused, afraid of making any mistakes. Minato watched carefully from the side and gave guidance from time to time.
Kakashi tried to throw the marked kunai at a distant wooden stake, his eyes fixed on the trajectory of the kunai. The kunai stuck firmly on the wooden stake, but when he moved over instantly, it was slightly off, and the position of his feet was slightly off from the target. Kakashi frowned, somewhat annoyed at his lack of proficiency.
Minato stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. “It’s great to be able to do this for the first time. This Flying Thunder God Technique requires a strong spatial perception ability. You have just started, so take your time.” Kakashi nodded, adjusted his chakra again, and continued to practice. This time, he successfully moved to the target position accurately, and finally showed a trace of joy on his face.
But after practicing for a few times, Kakashi felt a large amount of chakra loss, his legs became weak, and he almost fell to the ground. Minato quickly supported him and said softly: “This Flying Thunder God Technique consumes a lot of chakra. Your current chakra amount and control ability need to be further improved. You need to practice more in the future to increase your chakra reserves and control the flow of chakra more finely.”
Kakashi panted and looked at Minato with some frustration. Minato patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t be discouraged. This is a high-level ninjutsu. It’s not easy to master it. You have taken a very important step. You will definitely master it if you take steady steps in the future.”
The sun was setting, and the golden afterglow was sprinkled on the training ground. Minato finished teaching Kakashi and said earnestly: “Kakashi, the Flying Thunder God Technique is very powerful, but also very complicated. You have the talent to master it, and I am optimistic about you. As long as you persist, you will be able to unleash its true power in future battles.”
Kakashi looked at Minato’s departing back, his heart full of gratitude and admiration. He picked up a kunai with the Flying Thunder God mark, secretly made up his mind, and continued to practice. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched his figure very long, as if foreshadowing the solid steps he would take on the road of ninja in the future.
46. ​​Shisui opens the kaleidoscope (old version)
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the edge of Konoha Village, and Shisui set foot on a winding path alone, ready to carry out a reconnaissance mission. His steps were light and firm, and his Sharingan flickered slightly in his eye sockets, alert to everything around him.
However, when he passed through a dense forest, a strong chakra wave suddenly hit him from behind. Shisui turned around and saw Danzo’s figure looming in the twilight. His eyes were cold and sharp, like a cheetah that had locked onto its prey.
“Uchiha Shisui, your talent is indeed special.” Danzo’s voice was low and threatening, “But today, your Sharingan belongs to me.”
Without waiting for Shisui to react, Danzo had already launched an attack, his figure turned into an afterimage, rushing straight towards Shisui. Shisui’s Sharingan spun rapidly, capturing Danzo’s movements, but Danzo’s speed was amazing, and a heavy punch hit Shisui’s chest with a sound of breaking wind.
Shisui instinctively dodged to the side, but Danzo’s attack followed him closely, and he kicked him in the calf. Shisui staggered and almost fell, but he quickly stabilized himself and tried to distance himself. However, Danzo’s attack continued, and kunai rained down on Shisui.
Shisui’s Sharingan worked at full capacity, barely keeping up with Danzo’s attack rhythm, but his body gradually couldn’t keep up with the speed of his eyes. A wound opened up on Shisui’s left arm, blood stained his clothes red, and pain surged like a tide.
“Your Sharingan is not mature enough, Uchiha.” Danzo’s voice sounded in his ears, and his attacks became more and more fierce.
Shisui’s breathing became rapid, and he knew that he would surely die if he continued like this. At this moment, he remembered Fugaku’s teachings – the power of the Sharingan comes from the emotions deep in the heart. In his heart, he silently shouted out his desire for life, his concern for his companions, and his loyalty to the Uchiha clan.
At this moment, a flash of lightning seemed to flash through the depths of Shisui’s Sharingan, and the three magatama began to slowly rotate, eventually condensing into a dazzling kaleidoscope pattern. His vision instantly became extremely clear, and time seemed to slow down at this moment.
“Now!” Shisui shouted in his heart, he quickly formed hand seals, and the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan was instantly activated.
Danzo’s attack became slow and obvious in Shisui’s eyes. He dodged it lightly and backhandedly hit Danzo’s vital point accurately. Danzo’s attack momentum stagnated and a trace of shock appeared on his face.
Shisui did not miss this opportunity. He quickly distanced himself and formed seals with his hands at an astonishing speed: “Great Sun Lady!” His voice was cold and firm.
Danzo’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he felt an invisible force suddenly attacking him. His consciousness began to blur, and his body flew backwards uncontrollably. Shisui’s Sharingan flashed with dazzling light, and a black gravitational sphere appeared out of thin air, trapping Danzo tightly.
Danzo struggled to escape, but the gravity followed him like a shadow, binding him tightly. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes. This was the first time he felt a sense of crisis in this duel.
Shisui did not hesitate at all, he quickly retreated, distanced himself from Danzo, and at the same time continued to create more black spheres, forming a gravitational turbulence area. These spheres rotated and collided in the air, making a low roar, like the elegy of the god of death.
He used the power of “Great Sun Woman” to float in the air, cleverly avoiding Danzo’s counterattack, and constantly adjusted the position and strength of the gravity sphere, trying to completely trap Danzo. Although Danzo was powerful, his movements became slow and clumsy in front of Shisui’s eye technique.
In the end, Shisui successfully escaped Danzo’s pursuit and returned to Konoha Village with fatigue and pain. He reported to Fugaku in detail the whole incident and his Mangekyo ability that awakened in desperation.
After Fugaku heard this, a trace of relief and pride flashed in his eyes. He knew that Shisui not only successfully saved his life in this life-and-death test, but also took an important step towards becoming a top ninja.
47. Shisui’s vision is declining (old version)
Shisui dragged his exhausted body back to Fugaku’s residence. Every step he took was like stepping on cotton, light yet extremely heavy. As soon as he entered the door, Fugaku noticed his abnormality. Shisui’s movements became slow, his eyes were distracted, and his clear eyes now looked blurry and dim.
“Master…” Shisui’s voice was filled with fatigue and weakness. He leaned against the door frame, trying to keep himself standing.
Fugaku’s heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward to hold Shisui’s shoulders, and asked with concern: “Shisui, what’s wrong with you? What happened?”
Shisui opened his lips with difficulty, his voice low and hoarse: “Master, I activated the Mangekyō Sharingan during the mission, but now, my vision has become blurry.”
Fugaku was filled with heartache and worry when he heard this. He helped Shisui sit down, squatted in front of him, and looked into his eyes carefully: “Let me see.”
Shisui lowered his head, and Fugaku saw in the dim light that there was indeed a layer of mist in Shisui’s pupils. The originally sharp Sharingan now looked a little cloudy.
“This damn side effect.” Fugaku cursed under his breath. He knew in his heart that although the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan was strong, the side effects were equally serious, especially the damage to eyesight.
He whispered soothingly, “Don’t worry, Shisui. I’ll find a way to fix it.”
Shisui nodded, a barely perceptible tremor in his voice, “I’m so scared, Master. I’m afraid I’ll lose my sight, and never be able to run and fight as freely as I used to.”
Fugaku held Shisui’s shoulders tightly, his eyes firm and warm, “You won’t lose your sight. I will do everything I can to find a solution.”
Shisui leaned on his master’s shoulder, tears flashing in his eyes. He knew that his master’s promise was not empty words, and the resources of the Uchiha clan and Fugaku’s wisdom would become his hope to regain clear vision.
Fugaku stroked Shisui’s back, thinking to himself. He was also thinking about Orochimaru’s research.
“Shisui, you should rest first.” Fugaku said softly, his eyes full of concern, “I will find a solution immediately, you just need to rest and recuperate.”
Shisui nodded, and with a sense of relief, he slowly walked towards his room. He sat on the bed, gently pressing his forehead with both hands, trying to relieve the soreness in his eyes. His heart was full of uneasiness, but the words of his master gave him a glimmer of hope.
Fugaku took action immediately. He knew that time waits for no one. Every moment that Shisui’s eyesight was delayed, there was a greater risk. He walked into the study and lit the oil lamp on the table. The dim light cast a warm color in the room.
48. Orochimaru’s research succeeds (old version)
As night fell, Konoha Village was immersed in silence. Fugaku stepped into the secret room hidden by Orochimaru at the edge of the village, which was filled with the scent of potions and ancient scrolls. In the center of the secret room, Orochimaru was staring at a bottle of milky white liquid, which was the result of his countless experiments – the first generation of Hashirama cell extract.
“Fugaku, you’re here.” Orochimaru’s voice was low and magnetic, his eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation, “The white severed hand you provided is a pleasant surprise. I have successfully mastered the technique to weaken Hashirama’s cells.”
Fugaku stepped forward, his eyes fixed on the bottle of extract. He knew the power and risk behind the liquid, and asked, “Has it been tested? After all, I know the dangers of Hashirama’s cells.”
Orochimaru chuckled, as if he was satisfied with Fugaku’s question, “This is exactly my masterpiece. The white severed hand gave me a breakthrough in my research. By cultivating and transforming the cells, I eliminated their unstable factors. Now, this bottle of extract retains the strengthening characteristics of the cells while eliminating their crazy proliferation drawbacks.”
He gently shook the bottle, and the milky white liquid swayed gently in the bottle. “This extract can significantly enhance the user’s physical strength and healing ability. For example, the wound healing speed can be increased several times, and physical strength can be restored quickly. However, as to how to accurately target each person and control its effects, further exploration is still needed.”
Fugaku nodded. He could feel the powerful force contained in this extract. “This is indeed an amazing achievement. Orochimaru, your wisdom and skills are admirable.”
A sly look flashed in Orochimaru’s eyes. “Don’t rush to praise me. This is just the beginning. With this extract, it is enough to change the landscape of ninjas. Of course, the premise is that the user must have sufficient qualifications and control.”
“I understand.” Fugaku said in a deep voice, “Give me some of what you have now, and I will research a stronger version as soon as possible.”
Orochimaru smiled slightly, “Being cautious is necessary, but don’t forget that power is the key to changing everything. I believe you will agree with this.”
Fugaku and Orochimaru stood facing each other, their figures intertwined into a complex picture under the dim light. This secret cooperation, like an undercurrent surging under the calm lake, quietly changed the fate of Konoha.
It was late at night, and the light in Fugaku’s room was still on. He carefully injected the medicine into Shisui.
“Master…” Shisui whispered softly in his sleep, a reassuring smile on his face.
Fugaku said softly, “Don’t worry, Shisui. Everything will be alright.”
He sat by the bed, looking at Shisui quietly, praying silently in his heart. He knew that this was just the beginning.
The next morning, the sun shone through the window onto Zhishui’s face. He slowly opened his eyes, and although the world in front of him was still a little blurry, it was much clearer than yesterday.
“Master…” Shisui called softly, with a hint of surprise and disbelief in his voice.
Fugaku heard the voice and immediately came to the bedside: “How do you feel, Shisui?”
Shisui nodded, tears flashing in his eyes: “Master, I can see more clearly now!”
Fugaku felt relieved. He knew that this was only a small improvement, but at least it showed that the method was effective. He patted Shisui’s shoulder gently and said, “Very good, Shisui. We will continue to work hard until your eyesight is fully restored.”
Shisui leaned back on the pillow, his heart filled with gratitude. He knew that with the help of his master, he would be able to regain clear vision. Fugaku secretly swore in his heart that no matter what, he would not give up until Shisui’s vision was fully restored.
49. Injection of medicine (old version)
As the night deepened, the training ground of Konoha Village was silent, with only the sound of the breeze gently blowing through the leaves. Fugaku brought Itachi to a corner of the training ground, where he usually taught Itachi to practice. He held a small bottle in his hand, which contained the Hashirama cell extract developed by Orochimaru.
“Itachi, today I’m going to inject you with a special medicine.” Fugaku’s voice was calm and firm, “This is the Hashirama cell extract developed by Orochimaru. It can significantly improve our physical fitness and chakra. Are you ready?”
Itachi looked at the bottle in his father’s hand, with a hint of curiosity and anticipation in his eyes. He knew that his father had been working hard for their strength, so he nodded without hesitation, feeling nervous and excited.
Fugaku first injected himself with the drug. He could feel a warm force spreading through his body, as if every inch of his muscles were getting stronger. His chakra also began to become more abundant and flow more smoothly. He closed his eyes, feeling the changes in his body, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
“Do you feel it, Itachi?” Fugaku looked at Itachi with a smile, his eyes full of encouragement.
Itachi also reached out and gently held the potion his father handed him. He could feel his heartbeat speeding up, but he was more looking forward to the upcoming changes.
“Yes, father, I’m ready.” There was a slight tremor in Rat’s voice, but his eyes were extremely firm.
Fugaku gently injected Itachi with the drug. Soon, a hint of surprise flashed in Itachi’s eyes, and his body began to feel the warm power. His muscles tensed, chakra surged in his body, and the power of the Sharingan seemed to become stronger.
“Father, I feel it!” Itachi’s voice was filled with excitement and surprise, “My body seems to have become stronger, and I have more chakra!”
Fugaku nodded, a look of relief in his eyes, “Yes, Itachi. This power will make you stronger, but it will also require more responsibility and self-discipline. You must learn to control it and not let it control you.”
Itachi clenched his fists tightly. He could feel his physical condition improving, his chakra increasing, and the power of his Sharingan increasing. His heart was filled with expectations and confidence for the future.
“I will become stronger and will not let you down, father.” Rat said firmly.
Fugaku patted Itachi’s shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement: “I believe in you, Itachi. Let’s work together for the glory of the Uchiha clan.”
The father and son stood on the training ground, the night wind blew gently, bringing the sound of cicadas in the distance. They knew that this was just the beginning, but the future was full of infinite possibilities. Fugaku and Itachi both felt the changes in their bodies, and they knew that this would be a brand new beginning, a beginning that would make them stronger.
As night fell, Fugaku, Shisui and Itachi stood side by side at the training ground of Konoha Village. The sand on the training ground still showed traces of their previous training. The three of them looked at each other, and Shisui was the first to break the silence, with a hint of excitement in his tone: “Do you feel it? This power is flowing through your body, it’s completely different.”
Fugaku smiled slightly, moving his shoulders, feeling the powerful strength in his muscles. He jumped lightly, and his figure shot out like an arrow, passing through the entire training ground in an instant, and landed steadily. This speed was far beyond the past. “The effect of this potion is indeed amazing. The speed and strength of physical skills have made a qualitative leap.” He said, with a satisfied vibration in his voice.
Itachi also secretly circulated his chakra, feeling the overwhelming and pure chakra rushing through his meridians. He quickly formed seals with both hands and cast a fireball. The fireball was bigger and brighter than before, and its power was significantly enhanced. “After the amount of chakra has increased, the power of the ninjutsu has also increased a lot.” Itachi showed a trace of joy on his face.
“Not only that, even the pupil size of the Sharingan has improved.” Shisui said softly. His Sharingan was activated, and the three hooks flashed a deeper light. “The perception ability has become stronger. The movements around us… Even the slight trembling of leaves in the distance can be clearly felt.”
Fugaku and Itachi also opened their Sharingan, and the three of them were well aware of each other’s chakra flow and emotional fluctuations, and even the subtle changes around the training ground were discernible. “Now, in tests or actual combat, we can more accurately grasp the opportunity and seize the initiative.” Fugaku said, his eyes full of expectation.
“Not only that, during the physical training, the flexibility and coordination of the body have also improved.” Itachi said as he moved the joints of his limbs, feeling the lightness and flexibility of his body, “The difficult movements that were difficult to complete before are now smooth and easy to do.”
Fugaku nodded: “After the Sharingan’s insight is improved, physical movements can hit the target more accurately. In actual combat, you can more accurately hit the enemy’s flaws and vital points.”
Fugaku’s eyes were firm: “This is just the beginning, we still have a long way to go.”
The sky was clear and the moon was bright, silver light sprinkled on the training ground. Fugaku, Shisui and Itachi were among them, all of them were full of hope and expectation because of the new amount of potion.
50. Extract again (old version)
As the night deepened, Fugaku came to the training ground alone to prepare for the secret Aura Starlight Summoning Ceremony. He successfully saved up 1 million silver taels and was determined to use this opportunity to improve his strength.
In the dead of night, a mysterious atmosphere filled the training ground. Fugaku placed 1 million silver taels at the designated location of the summoning circle, quickly formed seals with his hands, and whispered the activation spell.
Instantly, the entire summoning circle was enveloped by a layer of brilliant starlight, shining brightly like daylight. Fugaku held his breath and waited for the result with full concentration.
As the light gradually faded, Fugaku felt an irrepressible excitement. He looked at the illusory figure that appeared in the summoning circle, and his heart was shocked. “It turned out to be Aura Star Shine GOD, the Uncrowned King!” He exclaimed softly.
The Uncrowned King is the existence of the doomsday future. It abandons its own body, transforms into the God of Killing, and embarks on the Shura path of hunting. The fusion process starts quickly, and Fugaku only feels a strong force pouring into his body, and his strength, speed, chakra control and other aspects are all improved. The perception ability of the Sharingan is also significantly enhanced, and the details of the entire training ground are clearly visible in his eyes.
The Uncrowned King’s skills are qualitatively different from those of the Queen of Truth. After all, the Queen of Truth focuses mainly on PVE, while the Uncrowned King focuses on PVP:
“Absorption” skill: This is a special attack skill, belonging to the annihilation attribute, with a power of up to 1000, and can be used 6 times per battle. When cast, it can absorb 10% of the total attribute value of all enemies. If the sum of the total attribute value of the target is less than 50% of the previous value, the total attribute value of the target can be completely absorbed. This makes Fugaku completely confident in “I don’t eat beef” in Naruto, and he can quickly pass Naruto with just a short period of development.
“Power of Judgment” skill: This is an attribute attack with annihilation attribute, which can be used 6 times per battle. It takes the initiative when it is cast. When the physical strength is not higher than 65%, there will be a 40% chance of dissolving it. As the physical strength decreases, the attack blood recovery effect will become stronger and stronger, lasting for 6 rounds, and the effect cannot be cleared. This skill gives Fugaku strong endurance and counter-killing opportunities in battle.
“Dark Hunting” skill: This is a passive skill with annihilation attribute. After casting, it will deduct a certain percentage of the physical value of itself and all enemies in each round. The lower the enemy’s physical strength, the stronger the effect. There is a chance to put a single enemy into the “Hunting Soul” state when entering the field and in each round. If you use a skill that consumes stars, the “Hunting Soul” effect will definitely be triggered. Enemies in the “Hunting Soul” state will have their souls pulled out and cannot be replaced within 10 rounds, thus losing their ability to move. The soul system has changed slightly in Naruto, but it is not inferior to the soul system in the game. Now Fugaku can extract part of the opponent’s soul on the field during the battle. During the soul’s presence, the enemy can only move within 100 meters of the soul, and if the soul is injured, the body will also be injured.
“Killing Seal” skill: This is a super star special move with annihilation attribute. It can only be used once per battle and the learning level is 0. It needs to consume 5 stars to cast. It stops the enemy’s actions for 2 rounds with super fast shooting speed and kills the enemy’s soul instantly. This skill allows Fugaku to quickly resolve the battle at a critical moment and turn the tide of the battle.
“Soul Curse” skill: This is a Starlight special skill with annihilation attribute. It can only be used once per battle and the learning level is 0. After consuming 3 stars, it attacks all enemies at an extremely fast speed and puts them into a curse state. This allows Fugaku to cause high damage to the enemy group in battle, while adding negative status to further weaken the enemy’s combat effectiveness.
“Shura’s Way” skill: This is a passive skill of Starlight, with annihilation attribute. It can only be triggered once per battle, and the learning level is 0. It consumes 1 star at the end of each round, and 20% of the current physical value will be deducted per round. As the proportion of one’s own physical strength decreases, the resistance and the fixed damage attached to the attack will become higher and higher. This makes Fugaku more and more courageous in the battle, and the damage output ability in the later stage is extremely strong. And ordinary soldiers will not even be qualified to stand in front of Fugaku.
After the fusion, Fugaku felt the amazing changes in his body. He could feel that his strength and speed had made a qualitative leap, and his chakra became more abundant and powerful. His Sharingan’s perception ability was also significantly improved, and the surrounding environment became clearer than ever before in his eyes.
Shisui and Itachi were unaware of the whole process. Fugaku was fully aware of the responsibility that came with this power, and secretly made up his mind to use it to protect the Uchiha clan. He firmly believed that he would lead the Uchiha clan to a more glorious future.
Fugaku kept practicing his newly acquired skills on the training ground, feeling the changes brought about by this new power. He knew that this was just the beginning, and there would be more challenges and opportunities waiting for them in the future. And his fusion with the Uncrowned King of the Aura Star God was just a new starting point.
He jumped lightly, and his figure shot out like an arrow, passing through the entire training ground in an instant, and landed steadily. This speed was far faster than before. He quickly formed seals with both hands and cast a fireball. The fireball was bigger and brighter than before, and its power was significantly enhanced. His Sharingan was activated, and the three magatama flashed a deeper light. His perception ability became stronger, and he could clearly see the movements around him, even the slight trembling of the leaves in the distance was clearly felt.
Fugaku felt an unprecedented sense of confidence and strength. He knew that he was ready to face any challenges in the future.
51. Rapidly Become Stronger (Old Version)
In the dark night, Fugaku quietly stepped into the prison of the Uchiha clan, where the prisoners of the clan were held. He had a bold and secret plan in mind, which was to use the “absorption” skill of the Uncrowned King of the Aura Star Shining God to absorb 40% of the attribute values ​​of the prisoners, thereby rapidly enhancing his own strength.
He knew that this trip was full of risks, and once discovered, he would face severe punishment from the clan. But for the future of the Uchiha clan, he was willing to take this risk. He carefully avoided the patrolling guards and quietly sneaked into the core area of ​​the prison.
In the dark cell, the prisoners were sitting or lying, some were talking in low voices, some were silent. Fugaku moved quickly, quietly came to the prisoners, quickly formed seals with his hands, and whispered a spell. His Sharingan flashed with a strange light, and his body was instantly enveloped by a layer of dark blue light.
“Absorb!” Fugaku shouted, and a faint blue light instantly rushed towards the prisoners. The prisoners only felt dizzy, and the power in their bodies seemed to be pulled by some force, flowing continuously towards Fugaku.
“What’s going on?!” a prisoner shouted in horror and tried to struggle and resist, but his body seemed to be bound by an invisible force and he could not move.
“My power, my power is disappearing!” Another prisoner was also panicked, his eyes full of fear.
Fugaku closed his eyes tightly, concentrating on feeling the changes in the power in his body. He could feel a strong force surging into his body and merging with his own chakra. His muscles tensed, his body trembled slightly, and a trace of pain appeared on his face. But this pain was soon replaced by joy, and he could feel his power growing rapidly.
Just as Fugaku was absorbing all his energy, a patrolling guard suddenly appeared outside the cell. With the dim light, the guard noticed the prisoners’ strange expressions and movements, and immediately became alert: “What are you doing?”
Fugaku was startled and opened his eyes instantly. The blue light instantly faded. He quickly hid in the shadows. The guards walked into the cell and carefully checked the prisoners. The prisoners pretended to be calm, but there was still fear in their eyes.
“Do you feel it? There is a strange power…” The guard muttered to himself, looking around the cell. Fugaku held his breath, his whole body tense, ready to respond to any emergency at any time.
Fortunately, the guards did not notice anything unusual and simply gave him a few words of advice before leaving the cell. Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief and started absorbing again. This time he was more careful, trying to avoid causing a commotion among the prisoners.
As the absorption continued, Fugaku’s power continued to grow. His chakra volume increased significantly, and his body’s strength and speed also reached a new height. His Sharingan flashed a deeper light, as if he could see through everything. He could clearly sense every corner of the prison, and every subtle movement could not escape his perception.
Finally, the absorption was complete. Fugaku slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with strong confidence and determination. He could feel that his strength had undergone a drastic change.
“Success!” Fugaku whispered softly, with a strong sense of accomplishment in his heart. He knew that this power would make him stronger in future battles and more capable of protecting the Uchiha clan.
He quickly left the prison and disappeared into the night. The whole process was not discovered by anyone. With this new power, Fugaku embarked on a new journey to meet the challenges of the future.
52. Eternal Kaleidoscope (old version)
Fugaku dragged his exhausted body back home. He gently closed the door, leaned his back against it, and gasped for breath. At this moment, it seemed as if a group of crazy beasts were roaring in his head, and the tingling sensation from the Sharingan was like an endless tide, wave after wave, constantly impacting his nerves.
He tried to calm himself down and calm the uncontrolled Sharingan. However, the eyes were like a compass under an evil spell, blindly searching for direction in the darkness, spinning rapidly on their own.
Fugaku stumbled towards the mirror. When he stood in front of the mirror and saw himself in the mirror, he couldn’t help but gasp. His eyes were red, and the magatama in his Sharingan was spinning wildly in his eye sockets, as if he was doing an extremely weird dance. He stared at his eyes intently, watching the three magatama spinning faster and faster, and finally merged together like a whirlpool, forming a mysterious pattern he had never seen before. This pattern was like the brightest star in the night sky, and like the deepest whirlpool in the deep sea, emitting a mysterious and powerful light.
At this moment, a powerful force surged out of his eyes and instantly filled his whole body. He tried to feel this power, carefully and gently urging his chakra. In an instant, his senses seemed to have opened a new door. He could clearly hear the rustling of leaves in the breeze outside the house, the gurgling sound of the stream in the distance, and even the slight sound of Itachi turning over in the room. His Sharingan was like a high-definition lens, and the texture of the feathers of the birds flying outside the window could be seen clearly, and the distant mountains that were previously blurry became clearly visible.
He closed his eyes and felt the flow of chakra with his heart, and was pleasantly surprised to find that his pupil power had been raised to a whole new level. Now, he could not only easily see through the enemy’s ninjutsu, but also accurately predict the enemy’s next move.
Fugaku stood quietly in front of the mirror, staring into his own eyes, his heart filled with shock. He knew very well that his Sharingan had evolved into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. This was the legendary power of the Uchiha clan. Those who possessed this power were able to change the entire battle situation and even rewrite their fate.
He took a deep breath, endured the severe pain in his eyes, and a sense of heroism and determination surged in his heart. He understood that this power was the continuation of the Uchiha clan’s will in him, and it would help him protect his clansmen and bravely face the storms of the future.
Fugaku stood in the center of the training ground, the warm sunlight gently falling on him, his eyes looked more determined and profound. After the earth-shaking changes last night, his Sharingan has evolved into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, thus possessing a series of amazing and powerful abilities.
One of the core abilities of Fugaku’s Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan is “Time and Space Illusion”. This is a powerful illusion that cleverly combines time and space. He raised his hand slightly, and a strange light flashed in his Sharingan. In an instant, the entire training ground was shrouded in a thick illusion. In this illusion, the opponent will not only face the most feared scene in his heart, but will also fall into a short period of time stagnation and be unable to react at all. This illusion is extremely unique. It can not only directly attack the enemy’s spirit, but also cause damage to the enemy’s body at the same time. What’s more amazing is that whether the enemy is mentally injured or physically damaged, the damage will be reflected simultaneously.
“Causal Vision” is Fugaku’s trump card skill, which gives Fugaku the ability to foresee the future for a short period of time. With this ability, he can clearly see the enemy’s future movement trajectory and attack route, and then make accurate judgments and responses in advance. In battle, this ability gives him a strong foresight, and can even turn the tide and reverse the situation at a critical moment. Moreover, the chakra consumption of this ability is almost zero, and it can be kept on all the time, just like the full-time observation Haki.
The “Soul Chain” allows Fugaku to mark the enemy’s soul in battle. Once successfully marked, he can remotely track and control the enemy’s actions. Not only that, he can also restrict the enemy’s chakra flow and ninjutsu to a certain extent, causing the enemy to fall into continuous trouble and restrictions, and eventually lose the ability to fight.
“Eye Summoning” allows Fugaku to briefly summon the power associated with the Queen of Truth and the Uncrowned King. This power has many forms, it can be a powerful offensive energy that strikes hard at the enemy; it can also be a defensive barrier with special effects that provides solid protection for oneself; or even briefly summon them to directly participate in the battle.
Fugaku took a deep breath and felt the power flowing in his body. He knew that these abilities made him one of the most powerful ninjas in Konoha Village. But he also understood that true strength does not come from the eyes alone, but also from the perseverance in the heart. He will continue to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the glory of the Uchiha clan and bravely face the challenges in the future.
53. Keep getting stronger (old version)
As the night deepened, the moonlight fell like water in front of the window, and Fugaku sat alone. The cold moonlight shone on his face, and his eyes were full of determination and courage. He knew that only by making himself stronger could he provide a solid umbrella of protection for the Uchiha clan. So, in order to pursue a stronger power, he resolutely decided to temporarily hide his identity and embark on a journey to the Mist Shadow Village.
The Mist Shadow Village is like an island forgotten by time, isolated from the world. It not only gathers many ninjas with bloodline limits, but also seals two powerful tailed beasts. However, its past is shrouded in darkness. During the period when the blood mist policy was rampant, the top leaders of the Mist Shadow Village carried out inhumane persecution on the big families in the village. Those ninjas with bloodline limits and secret techniques became the main targets of suppression. As a result, many families declined and even disappeared forever in the long river of history.
Fugaku knew the history of Kirigakage Village very well, so he acted more cautiously and secretly. He knew that his action of absorbing the power of the bloodline limit ninja must not attract the attention of others. He slowly stood up, moved to the closet, and changed into a set of ordinary ninja clothes. Then, he put on a hat, cleverly covering the iconic Sharingan, and used a scarf to cover the Uchiha family emblem tightly. He carefully checked his bag to make sure he brought necessary items such as ninja tools, medicines, and gold coins.
Under the cover of night, Fugaku quietly left Konoha Village and headed towards Kirigakure Village. Along the way, he was careful and alert at all times to avoid any unnecessary trouble. After several days of long journey, he finally arrived at the outskirts of Kirigakure Village.
At this time, the Kirigakure Village was surrounded by a layer of light mist, exuding a mysterious and oppressive atmosphere. Fugaku carefully sneaked into the village, searching for a suitable target with a keen eye, ready to use his “absorption” skill. He knew that the powerful bloodline limit possessed by the Kirigakure Village ninjas would be the key to his improvement in strength.
Fugaku locked his first target on a patrolling Genin from the Mist Shadow Village. He approached the opponent quietly like a ghost and quickly used the “Absorption” skill. In an instant, a faint blue light emerged, and he successfully absorbed 100% of the opponent’s attribute value, including a part of the power of his bloodline limit. Fugaku could truly feel his strength rising, and every cell in his body seemed to be injected with new vitality.
In the following days, Fugaku continued to look for opportunities in the Kirigakure Village, quietly absorbing the power of various bloodline limits. His strength increased rapidly like mushrooms after rain, his chakra increased significantly, and his body strength and speed reached an unprecedented height. His Sharingan’s perception ability reached a superb level, and he could almost perceive every subtle change.
However, the environment of the Mist Shadow Village was full of challenges for Fugaku. Due to the influence of the blood mist policy, the ninjas in the village were full of vigilance and hostility towards the blood limiters. Fugaku had to remain highly alert at all times to prevent his identity from being exposed. He cleverly used the illusion ability of the Sharingan to create realistic phantoms, confuse the enemy’s vision and hearing, and successfully avoided multiple patrols and searches.
One night, when Fugaku was absorbing the power of a Chuunin from the Mist Shadow Village, he was accidentally noticed by the other party. The Chuunin immediately sounded the alarm, and the ninjas of the Mist Shadow Village quickly gathered and surrounded Fugaku in a dark alley.
Fugaku’s heart tightened, he knew he was in trouble. But he did not panic, instead he quickly opened his Sharingan, and the power in his body surged instantly. He could feel the power of various bloodline limits absorbed from the ninjas of the Mist Shadow Village stirring in his body, ready to explode at any time.
“Who are you? Why did you sneak attack our Mist Shadow Village ninjas?” A Mist Shadow Village ninja asked coldly, his tone full of murderous intent.
Fugaku smiled slightly, without any fear in his eyes: “I am just passing by here, and I want to see the powerful people of the Mist Shadow Village. However, your strength does make me excited.”
The ninjas of the Mist Shadow Village were furious when they heard this, and they were ready to attack. At this moment, the blue light on Fugaku’s body flashed again, and he instantly performed “Phantom Teleport” and disappeared on the spot. The ninjas of the Mist Shadow Village only felt a flash before their eyes, and Fugaku appeared on the high wall behind them.
“It’s not easy to catch me!” Fugaku’s voice echoed in the night sky. He quickly formed hand seals and cast the “Time and Space Illusion”, trapping some of the Mist Shadow Village ninjas into the illusion.
In the chaos, Fugaku seized the opportunity and used the “absorption” skill again to absorb more power from several Mist Shadow Village ninjas. His strength was fully demonstrated in this battle, and he was not inferior even to the elite ninjas of the Mist Shadow Village.
In the end, Fugaku successfully escaped the pursuit of the Kirigakure ninjas with his powerful strength and newly absorbed power. He quietly left Kirigakure in the night, feeling a sense of accomplishment. He knew that his strength had undergone a tremendous change.
Fugaku set out on the journey back to Konoha Village, full of expectations for the future and awe of the unknown. He didn’t know what impact this experience in Kirigakure would have, but he firmly believed that he had become stronger and more capable of protecting the Uchiha clan.
The village of Mist is still shrouded in a faint mist, as if nothing has happened. But on this land, the traces left by Fugaku will change his fate forever.
54. Return with a Full Load (Old Version)
Fugaku embarked on the journey back to Konoha Village with expectations for the future and awe of the unknown. Although he did not know what impact his experience in Kirigakure would have, he knew that he had become stronger and his ability to protect the Uchiha clan had also improved.
A few days later, Fugaku finally returned to Konoha Village. As soon as he stepped into the village, the long-lost warmth and familiarity hit him. He couldn’t help but quicken his pace and walked towards his own mansion.
“Father/Teacher, you’re back!” As soon as Shisui and Itachi saw Fugaku returning, they immediately excitedly went to greet him, their eyes full of anticipation.
Fugaku smiled and nodded in response, “Yes, I’m back. And, I brought some gifts for you.”
Shisui and Itachi looked at each other with curiosity in their eyes. Fugaku then took them to the training ground, where some ninjutsu scrolls and seven ninja swords were placed.
Fugaku introduced: “These are the ninjutsu scrolls and seven ninja swords that I collected in the Kirigakure Village. The ninjutsu of the Kirigakure Village is famous for water escape and blood limit, and these scrolls record many powerful ninjutsu. The seven ninja swords are the treasures of the Kirigakure Village, and each one has unique characteristics.”

Shisui and Itachi’s eyes sparkled with excitement, they knew this was a rare opportunity.
Fugaku encouraged, “You can choose the ninjutsu scrolls and ninja swords you like. These tools will help you improve your strength and become a more powerful ninja.”
Shisui and Itachi carefully looked at the scrolls and ninja swords. In the end, Shisui chose a scroll of Water Style: Water Array Wall and a ninja sword called “Thunder Blade: Fang”. Thunder Blade: Fang has lightning properties, which can increase attack speed and attack power in battle, which is suitable for Shisui’s flexible fighting style.
Itachi chose a scroll of the Mist Hidden Killing Formation Technique and a ninja sword called “Long Sword: Stitch”, which was very suitable for Itachi’s fighting style.
Fugaku looked at their choices and smiled with satisfaction, “Very good, Shisui and Itachi. These ninjutsu and ninja swords complement your fighting styles very well. I hope you can make good use of them and continue to improve your strength.”
Shisui and Itachi nodded firmly, “Yes, father. We will try our best.”
Fugaku patted their shoulders and said, “I believe in you. The road ahead is still long, but with these tools, you will definitely go further.”
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the training ground, and the figures of the three people were stretched out, as if foreshadowing that their future path would be broader. Fugaku took Shisui and Itachi and embarked on a new training journey, and all this was just the beginning of the glorious future of the Uchiha clan.
Fugaku took Shisui and Itachi on a new training journey. A few days later, he decided to go to the Hokage’s office and hand over the remaining ninja swords to Minato Namikaze.
“Minato, I brought back some ninjutsu scrolls and the Seven Ninja Swords from the Kirigakure Village. These treasures are too precious, and I hope to hand them over to the village for safekeeping.” Fugaku said, with a hint of seriousness and responsibility in his tone.
Minato raised his head and looked at the ninja sword and scroll in Fugaku’s hand, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: “Fugaku, you have gained a lot from this trip to Kirigakure Village.”
“Yes, Minato. These ninja swords and scrolls are valuable treasures to the village, and I cannot keep them privately.” Fugaku smiled slightly and placed the ninja swords and scrolls neatly on Minato’s desk.
Minato stood up and carefully examined the treasures. His eyes revealed a hint of appreciation: “You did a good job, Fugaku. These ninja swords and scrolls will greatly enhance the strength of Konoha Village.”
“In addition, I also hope that the village can send some elite ninjas to investigate the Kirigakure Village.” Fugaku continued, “The situation in the Kirigakure Village is a little unusual, and I am worried that there may be danger.”
Minato nodded in understanding, “I’ll arrange that. By the way, which ninja swords did Shisui and Itachi choose?”
Fugaku smiled and replied, “Shisui chose the Thunder Blade? Fang, and Itachi chose the Long Blade? Stitches.”
Minato nodded in satisfaction, “These two ninja swords are very suitable for their fighting styles. I believe they will become stronger under your guidance.”
Fugaku left the Hokage’s office with Shisui and Itachi, full of expectations for the future. He knew that his mission was not only to improve the strength of the Uchiha clan, but also to protect the peace and tranquility of the entire Konoha Village. Shisui and Itachi continued to practice hard on the training ground. They knew that only by constantly improving themselves could they live up to Fugaku’s expectations and bring glory to the Uchiha clan and Konoha Village.
The setting sun once again shone on the training ground, and the figures of the three people were stretched out in the afterglow, as if foreshadowing that their future path would be broader.
55. Impure World Reincarnation (Old Version)
In a secret underground laboratory, dim lights fell on many petri dishes and scrolls, and Orochimaru stood quietly. In his eyes, there was a gleam of success after countless trials and tribulations. Over the years, he persisted in his research, struggled in the quagmire of failure countless times, and finally successfully mastered the forbidden technique developed by the second generation Hokage – Impure World Reincarnation.
Orochimaru walked slowly to the experimental table, gently placed a scroll flat on the table, and then quickly formed seals with his hands, muttering a mysterious spell in a low voice. As chakra flowed in his body in an orderly manner, the scroll on the experimental table glowed with a faint blue light, and Orochimaru’s tall shadow was projected on the wall, looking particularly eerie and terrifying.
“Impure World Reincarnation!” Orochimaru shouted in a low voice, and his voice echoed in the empty laboratory for a long time.
As the spell was completed, the scroll on the experimental table suddenly emitted a strong light, and then a figure slowly rose from the scroll. Orochimaru showed a satisfied smile on his face, and years of hard work finally bore fruit at this moment.
At this moment, the door of the laboratory was slowly pushed open, and Shimura Danzo walked in with steady steps. In his eyes, there was both expectation and curiosity about the unknown results, but also a hint of caution.
“Orochimaru, did you really succeed?” Danzo’s voice was low and hoarse, his eyes fixed on the figure that had just risen on the experimental table.
Orochimaru nodded, a hint of pride in his eyes: “Yes, Danzo. I have finally mastered the Impure World Reincarnation Technique. This will surely become a powerful weapon that will make us invincible in future battles.”
Danzo slowly approached the experimental table and carefully looked at the figure summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation. This was a deceased ninja, and although it was just a corpse summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation, it still retained its appearance and memories before death.
“This is indeed a powerful tool.” Danzo said softly, with a sly look in his eyes, “With this jutsu, we will definitely gain a huge advantage on the battlefield.”
Orochimaru smiled, knowing that Danzo was fully aware of the potential of this technology. The two looked at each other, knowing that this was just the beginning.
“Next, we need to conduct more experiments to ensure the stability and reliability of this technology.” Orochimaru said with a hint of excitement in his voice.
Danzo nodded: “I will provide you with more research materials. As long as this technology can be used by us, I believe we can change the future of Konoha Village.”
As a result, Orochimaru and Danzo continued to discuss the application of Impure World Reincarnation and future plans. They knew clearly that this forbidden technique would become a strong backing for them to gain greater power and influence in the ninja world.
As the night deepened, the lights in the laboratory gradually dimmed, but the two men’s inner ambitions for the future burned even more brightly in the darkness.
In the shadow of Konoha Village, Fugaku had a secret meeting with Orochimaru. Fugaku knew that Orochimaru had made a major breakthrough in the study of forbidden techniques, and he decided to cleverly use Danzo’s ambition to show some of his own strength.
“Orochimaru, your Impure World Reincarnation technique has become quite mature.” Fugaku’s voice echoed in the dim laboratory, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Orochimaru smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with a desire for power: “Fugaku-kun, your vision is always so sharp. However, the potential of this technology is far more than this.”
Fugaku nodded and said solemnly: “I will wait and see, but it’s time to give the ninja world some shocks. I hope you can convince Danzo to reincarnate the Senju brothers. The ninja world today is too boring.”
Then, Orochimaru turned to Danzo and said, “Danzo, if you could possess the power of the First and Second Hokage, just imagine what kind of earth-shaking changes you could bring to Konoha Village.”
Danzo’s heart moved, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes. He was of course aware of the power of the first and second generation Hokage. If he could summon them back from the graveyard, his power would be unmatched.
“Orochimaru, what you mean is…” There was a hint of temptation in Danzo’s voice.
Orochimaru smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of deep meaning: “It’s time to make Konoha pay the price.”
Danzo nodded, a sly look flashing in his eyes: “I understand what you mean, Orochimaru. But I must be the one to perform the Impure World Reincarnation Spell for the previous Hokage.”
Orochimaru smiled slightly, with a hint of excitement in his eyes: “No problem, I need some special materials, and the remains of the first and second generation Hokage.”
Danzo nodded: “I will arrange for someone to handle this matter.”
As the night deepened, the three left the laboratory. Fugaku returned to the Uchiha clan’s territory, full of expectations for the future. He knew that he had successfully placed an important chess piece in the power game of Konoha Village. The actions of Orochimaru and Danzo will bring more opportunities and challenges to the ninja world.
56. Danzo’s Corpse Stealing (Old Version)
In Orochimaru’s secret laboratory, the dim lights flickered, and the faint light could barely illuminate the room. Orochimaru and Danzo sat at the table, both of them silent, and the increasingly solemn atmosphere around them seemed to surround them. Orochimaru’s eyes were fixed on the scroll in front of him, and his eyes flashed with cunning and excitement. Over the years, he immersed himself in the study of forbidden techniques. The hardships, frustration of failure and persistence in research all disappeared because of the success of the Impure World Reincarnation Technique.
“Danzo, this Impure World Reincarnation Technique can give you endless power and advantages.” Orochimaru’s voice was low and full of temptation. He handed an ancient scroll to Danzo, “With it, those legendary strong men can become puppets in your hands.”
Danzo took the scroll, his eyes flashing with greed and ambition. He knew that the power contained in this scroll meant that he could go further on the road to power.
“Orochimaru, you always meet my expectations,” Danzo whispered in response, holding the scroll tightly in his hands.
Afterwards, Danzo began to steal the bodies of the powerful ninjas. He used his power and influence in Konoha to secretly instruct his confidants to sneak into cemeteries in various countries. These confidants were loyal elites who were good at infiltration and theft. Under the cover of night, they sneaked into cemeteries in the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, the Land of Water and many other places like ghosts.
In a remote area of ​​the Kingdom of Wind, there is an ancient and desolate cemetery where successive Kazekages and other powerful ninjas are buried. As night falls, the cemetery is shrouded in a faint moonlight, making it look particularly eerie. A man wearing a black turban and dark ninja clothes quietly sneaks into the cemetery. His movements are light and agile, like a ghost in the night.
This ninja is one of Danzo’s confidants, codenamed “Black Shadow”. His goal this time is to steal the body of the legendary Second Kazekage. Black Shadow moves lightly through the cemetery, his heartbeat is particularly clear in the silent night. He knows that this is a risky mission, but for Danzo’s ambition, he must succeed.
Black Shadow finally found the tomb of the Second Kazekage, which was marked by a huge stone tablet. He quickly took out his tools and began to pry the seal of the tomb. The stone tablet made a harsh friction sound in the night wind, and Black Shadow couldn’t help but frown, worried that it would attract unnecessary attention.
“Be careful and don’t make too much noise.” The black shadow reminded himself in his heart. He slowed down his movements and tried to reduce the noise as much as possible.
After some effort, the seal of the tomb was finally opened. The black shadow took a deep breath and lit a tinder. The faint flame illuminated the interior of the tomb. He saw the body of the Second Kazekage lying quietly in the coffin, his face peaceful, as if he was just sleeping.
Awe welled up in the shadow’s heart, but it did not stop him from taking action. He quickly took the body out of the coffin, wrapped it carefully, and prepared to transport it back to Danzo’s hiding place.
At the same time, on the other side of the Land of Fire, another of Danzo’s trusted aides, Ashes, was on a similar mission, sneaking into a secret family cemetery with the goal of stealing the body of a legendary water escape master.
Ashes also moved quickly and carefully, moving through the night and avoiding the patrols around the cemetery. When he found the target tomb, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. He quickly opened the tomb, took out the body and packed it properly.
As Black Shadow and Ashes completed their missions, Danzo’s forces quietly moved throughout the Ninja World. Cemeteries in various countries were lost one after another, and the bodies of the First and Second Hokage and many other powerful Ninja World figures fell into Danzo’s hands without him noticing.
Danzo was hiding in the secret base, looking at the piles of corpses and reincarnation materials, his heart was full of anticipation and excitement. He knew that his plan was about to enter the most critical stage.
“Everything is ready.” Danzo said silently in his heart, “Now, it’s time for these strong men to stand up again.”
He took a deep breath and began to perform the Impure World Reincarnation Technique. With the flow of mysterious spells and chakra, the corpses in the tomb began to slowly rise. The first and second generation Hokage and other powerful ninjas were successfully summoned, and their appearance foreshadowed that the ninja world was about to usher in an unprecedented storm.
Danzo’s ambition reached its peak at this moment. He seemed to have seen the future in which he could control the ninja world and realize his great ideals. However, behind all this, Orochimaru was also secretly observing and quietly laying out his own plans.
57. Powerful Reincarnation Army (Old Version)
In the secret base of Konoha Village, Danzo stood in front of a pile of corpses and reincarnation materials, his eyes full of anticipation and excitement. He knew that he was about to change the landscape of the ninja world.
“Orochimaru, this Impure World Reincarnation technique is truly magical.” Danzo whispered, with a slight tremor in his voice.
Orochimaru stood aside and smiled: “Danzo, you must be careful when using this forbidden technique. Its power is not so easy to control.”
Danzo nodded, his eyes flashing with determination: “I understand. But for the future of Konoha, we must take action.”
Danzo took a deep breath and began to perform the Impure World Reincarnation Technique. He quickly formed a seal and whispered a spell. As chakra flowed, the scroll on the experimental table emitted a faint blue light.
“Impure World Reincarnation!” Danzo shouted in a low voice.
The light was bright, and a mysterious and ancient power filled the air. Several figures slowly rose from the scroll, and Danzo smiled with satisfaction.

58. Fugaku Learns (Old Version)
“With these strong men, we will be able to achieve our goal,” Danzo whispered, his eyes gleaming with determination.
As the night deepened, Danzo and Orochimaru left the secret base. They knew that the ninja world was about to face an unprecedented storm, and they would stand at the center of the storm.
In the deep and mysterious underground, Orochimaru’s lair is like a forgotten maze. The damp stone walls are gleaming with a faint green moss light, and every inch of air seems to solidify the secrets of the years. Orochimaru and Fugaku sit opposite each other, and the surrounding area is like a strange treasure house, with piles of strange-shaped medicine bottles and scrolls piled up in a messy but orderly manner. In the medicine bottles, the liquid exudes a colorful luster, some like flowing galaxies, and some like burning flames; on the scrolls, the mysterious runes are looming in the dim light, as if hiding an ancient and powerful power. In the air, the faint aroma of herbs is like an invisible elf, gently shuttling between the two.
At this moment, Orochimaru changed his usual cynical look, and his eyes revealed a rare solemnity. His gaze was as deep as an ancient well, as if he could see through Fugaku’s heart. He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful, like thunder coming from deep underground: “Fugaku, I have something very important to tell you, it concerns the survival of Konoha.”
When Fugaku heard this, his originally calm heart tightened instantly, as if being grasped by an invisible hand. Although he and Orochimaru had a cooperative relationship, it was extremely rare for Orochimaru to speak so seriously. His eyes became sharp, like two sharp blades drawn from their sheaths, and he said solemnly: “Orochimaru, you can say whatever you want.”
Orochimaru took a deep breath, and the breath seemed to echo his inner struggle in his chest. He seemed to have made up his mind, and then said: “Danzo has mastered the technique of Impure World Reincarnation. He secretly resurrected many powerful people, such as Hashirama Senju, Tobirama, and the previous Kages of various villages, and even Might Dai and Hatake Sakumo, all of whom were taken under his command.” At this point, he paused slightly, his eyes locked tightly on Fugaku’s face, carefully observing the changes in Fugaku’s expression.
Fugaku frowned, and the wrinkles on his forehead were like ravines, full of worry and thought. He was silent for a moment, his mind was like a mess, constantly thinking about the authenticity and seriousness of this news. Finally, he slowly asked: “How strong are those resurrected masters?”
Orochimaru smiled slightly, with a hint of mystery and confidence in his smile. He replied, “Their strength is no different from when they were alive, and I added Hashirama’s cells to the sacrifice. With the characteristics of the Impure World Reincarnation, their combat power is even stronger.” As he spoke, he stretched out a hand and gently stroked a medicine bottle beside him, as if showing off his masterpiece.
Fugaku was skeptical about what Orochimaru said, and a glimmer of doubt flashed in his eyes. But now was not the time to delve into the matter. The fate of Konoha was like a sword of Damocles hanging over its head, which could fall at any time. He thought for a while, his eyes gradually became firm, and he said in a deep voice: “I understand, but this is not enough. I hope you can let Danzo find more powerful people.”
Orochimaru nodded to show his understanding: “I understand.” His voice was flat, but his eyes revealed a barely perceptible cunning.
Fugaku didn’t say anything more. He stood up and left Orochimaru’s lair with steady and quick steps. At this moment, his heart was like a bottle of five flavors overturned, complicated and indescribable. He knew clearly that a storm concerning the fate of Konoha Village was coming, and he had to be fully prepared.
On the way home, Fugaku’s mind kept replaying Orochimaru’s words and the images of those resurrected warriors. The majestic figure of Hashirama Senju seemed to stand before his eyes, and the power of Wood Release was like a surging tide; the domineering aura when Might Guy opened the Eight Gates of Release seemed to be able to break through the shackles of heaven and earth; Hatake Sakumo’s gentle and firm eyes made people feel extremely trusting. His steps became more and more firm, because he knew that the burden on his shoulders had become much heavier. But in order to protect the Uchiha clan and Konoha Village, he could only face the difficulties.
The sun gradually sank to the west, and the sky was dyed blood red, as if the earth was crying for the impending disaster. The brilliant colors were like a grand and tragic funeral, foreshadowing the coming storm. Fugaku returned to the territory of the Uchiha clan, looking at the familiar buildings and clan members, a strong sense of responsibility arose in his heart. The ancient house carried the glory and dream of the Uchiha clan; the clan members walking through the streets, every face was filled with love for life and loyalty to the family. He secretly vowed to protect them and never let Danzo’s ambition endanger their safety.
“Father/Master, you are back.” Shisui and Itachi saw Fugaku return and immediately went forward to greet him. Shisui’s eyes were full of concern and expectation, while Itachi stood quietly aside, his eyes revealing a maturity and calmness beyond his age.
Fugaku nodded, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes, and said, “I have something important to tell you. We must start preparing for the upcoming crisis immediately.”
Shisui and Itachi felt their father’s seriousness, and their expressions became solemn. They understood that a battle concerning the fate of Konoha Village was about to begin. So, the three of them quickly got into preparations. Shisui began to gather the clan members and organize training; Itachi began to study tactics and formulate strategies; Fugaku stood on a high place, overlooking the entire territory of the Uchiha clan, silently planning the future path in his heart. Because they knew that only by uniting as one can they defeat the powerful enemy that is about to come.
At this time, the entire Konoha Village was still immersed in the surface of peace. On the streets, children were laughing and playing; in the shops, merchants were enthusiastically selling; in the taverns, people were toasting and drinking. They were completely unaware that an unprecedented storm was quietly approaching.
59. Recall Jiraiya and Tsunade (Old Version)
The afterglow of the setting sun gently falls on the roofs of Konoha Village. The light seems to be the gentle caress of the old man of time, as if the whole village has been carefully covered with a layer of golden clothes. Every tile is shining with tiny lights in the afterglow, like a bright gem inlaid on a gorgeous dress. The curling smoke slowly rises from the roof and spreads in the air, carrying a faint smell of fireworks, making the whole village immersed in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
However, Fugaku was in a heavy mood at this time, and his steps were slightly slow but firm as he walked towards the Hokage’s office. His figure was stretched out in the sunset, and the heaviness in his steps seemed as if every step was on his own heart. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed deep worry. He knew very well that the news he was about to reveal would most likely completely rewrite the future direction of Konoha Village, just like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, which would surely stir up thousands of waves.
The Hokage’s office was a busy scene. Minato Namikaze sat behind his desk, his posture upright and straight, like a towering mountain. He was concentrating on signing documents one by one, the pen in his hand dancing quickly on the paper, each stroke was written vigorously. Shimura Hiruzen was on the side, carefully reading the intelligence report, his eyes through the pair of reading glasses, staring closely at every word in the report, not missing any details. Although the two looked a little tired, the firm light in their eyes had never dimmed, which was the deep love for Konoha Village and the determination to protect it.
Fugaku walked into the office quickly, his footsteps were particularly loud in the quiet office. There was a hint of urgency in his eyes, as if a huge disaster was chasing him. His breathing was a little rapid, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Minato looked up at the sound and caught a glimpse of the extremely serious expression on Fugaku’s face. His heart suddenly “skipped” as if a string was plucked fiercely. He immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, quickly put down the pen in his hand, stood up, walked quickly to Fugaku, and asked anxiously: “Fugaku, what happened?” His voice was full of concern and worry.
Fugaku went straight to the point. His voice was low and rapid, like thunder rolling in his ears: “Danzo used the Impure World Reincarnation technique to resurrect many powerful ninjas, including the Shodaime, the Nidaime, the previous Kages of each village, as well as Might Dai, Hatake Sakumo and others. These resurrected warriors are being driven by Danzo and are preparing to attack Konoha Village.” As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, as if he wanted to present the horrible scene directly in front of Minato and Hiruzen.
When Minato and Hiruzen heard this, their expressions froze instantly. Hiruzen slammed the table hard, and the loud noise echoed in the office. Anger flashed in his eyes, like a burning flame: “Danzo, this old thief, really has bad intentions!” He clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles turned white from the force.
Minato also stood up suddenly, his body trembling slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of worry, but more of determination and courage. He paced back and forth in the office, thinking about how to deal with it, and said: “This is undoubtedly a huge threat to us. We must take action immediately.” His voice was steady and powerful, giving people a sense of reassurance.
Sarutobi Hiruzen made a prompt decision, his eyes revealing the decisiveness and wisdom of a veteran in the battlefield: “Notify Jiraiya and Tsunade and ask them to return to the village to assist in the defense. In addition, I suggest recalling all elite ninjas on missions outside to strengthen the protection measures in the village.” As he spoke, he quickly planned the defense deployment in his mind.
Minato nodded in agreement, his eyes sparkling with wisdom. “At the same time, we need to fully monitor Danzo’s Root Organization to prevent his remnants from attacking from within. These Root Organization members are like poisonous snakes hiding in the dark, and they may give us a fatal blow at any time.”
Hiruzen then added: “I will be responsible for coordinating the actions of various units and ensure that all measures are implemented quickly and efficiently. I will be like an experienced commander and make every soldier play his best role.” His tone was full of confidence and determination.
Fugaku further proposed: “Regarding those strong men who have been resurrected from the Impure World, I suggest organizing an elite team to specifically fight against them. These strong men are extremely powerful, and it is difficult for ordinary ninjas to compete with them. We need an elite team, like a sharp sword, to pierce the heart of the enemy.”
Minato thought for a moment and nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of determination after thinking: “This is a good suggestion. I will personally select elite ninjas to form a team and formulate a detailed battle plan. I will reasonably arrange their tasks according to the characteristics and abilities of each ninja, so that they can exert their greatest combat effectiveness.”
Hiruzen added: “I will strengthen the village’s defense barrier and deploy more sentries and patrols. At the same time, all Root ninjas who remain in the village will be strictly monitored to prevent them from making any unusual movements. We must turn Konoha Village into an impregnable fortress so that the enemy will have no chance to take advantage.”
Minato added: “In addition, we also need to inform other ninja villages of this situation and seek their support and cooperation. After all, this is not only a crisis for Konoha Village, but also a crisis for the entire ninja world. We must unite and fight the enemy together, just like a big tree. Only when the roots are connected can it withstand the attack of strong winds and rainstorms.”
Fugaku nodded in agreement, his eyes revealing a sense of mission and responsibility: “I will immediately contact the contacts in other ninja villages and convey this urgent information to them. I will do my best to let other ninja villages know the seriousness of the matter and win their support.”
The three of them quickly reached a consensus and began to work together. Minato immediately returned to his desk, picked up a pen and began to write a notice to recruit elite ninjas. His eyes were focused and serious, and every word was written with great care. Hiruzen walked out of the office and began to summon the leaders of each unit. His voice was loud and majestic, and he gave them various instructions. Fugaku quickly walked to the communication room, picked up the communication tools, and began to communicate with the contacts of other ninja villages. His tone was sincere and urgent, and he introduced the situation to the other party in detail.
As night fell quietly, the defense measures of Konoha Village were gradually strengthened. The sentry at the entrance of the village was manned. The ninjas held weapons and watched everything around them vigilantly. Their eyes revealed a kind of firmness and courage, as if declaring to the enemy: “This is Konoha Village, and it must not be violated!” The patrol team shuttled back and forth in various important areas of the village. Their footsteps were particularly clear in the silent night, like an exciting war song. Under the leadership of Minato, the elite team was engaged in intensive training and preparation. They sweated profusely on the training ground, constantly practicing various ninjutsu and combat skills. Minato patiently guided them on the side, his eyes full of expectation and encouragement.
After receiving the notice, Jiraiya and Tsunade quickly returned to the village. Jiraiya wore his iconic yellow windbreaker, his hair fluttering in the wind, and his eyes revealed an unruly and confident look. Tsunade walked with a vigorous pace, and her eyes revealed a kind of tenacity and decisiveness. Their return added a strong guarantee to the defense of Konoha Village.
“The safety of Konoha Village concerns everyone. We must unite as one and face this crisis together.” Minato said in a brief meeting with a firm and powerful look. His voice echoed in the conference room, inspiring everyone’s heart.
Hiruzen added: “We must completely crush Danzo’s ambition, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. We cannot let his conspiracy succeed, we must make him pay for what he has done.”
Fugaku also stated: “I will do my best to ensure that the Uchiha clan fully supports the village’s defense. The Uchiha clan will live and die with Konoha Village, and we will use our strength to protect this land.”
In the next few days, all the ninjas in Konoha Village entered a state of war readiness. Some of them continued to strengthen their training, some were checking and repairing defense facilities, and some were collecting intelligence. They knew clearly that a battle that concerned the survival of the village was about to begin. In the center of this storm, Minato, Hiruzen and Fugaku were leading the villagers to prepare for the challenge with all their strength.
The future of Konoha Village is facing an unprecedented test, just like a ship sailing in a storm, which may be swallowed by huge waves at any time. But every ninja in Konoha Village firmly believes that as long as they unite as one, they will be able to overcome this crisis and protect the home in their hearts.
60. Obito sits on the mountain and watches the fight between tigers (old version)
In this mysterious hidden corner, the light was extremely dim, and there was a damp and oppressive atmosphere around. A White Zetsu clone was sneaking quietly like a ghost, taking extremely light steps. Its body seemed to be perfectly integrated with the darkness, and every movement was like a ghost shuttling through the darkness, without making the slightest sound.
At this moment, the White Zetsu’s body is shouldering a vital task – to monitor every move of Konoha Village around the clock and in all directions. It cleverly uses its excellent reconnaissance ability to wander around every corner of Konoha Village. Sometimes it hides in the dense woods, observing the villagers’ daily activities through the gaps in the leaves; sometimes it lurks on the roof, listening to the conversations of people in the house; sometimes it disguises itself as an ordinary stone, quietly stays on the roadside, and pays attention to the whereabouts of passing ninjas. It constantly collects all kinds of intelligence about Konoha Village, from the village’s defense deployment to the training of ninjas, from the villagers’ living conditions to the decision-making trends of the top leaders, without missing a single thing.
Just as White Zetsu was concentrating on the surveillance mission, its keen perception caught a shocking news – Danzo actually used the Impure World Reincarnation Technique to revive many powerful people. This news was like a heavy bomb, stirring up a thousand waves in White Zetsu’s heart. The Impure World Reincarnation Technique is an extremely evil and powerful forbidden technique that can revive dead strong people and use them for oneself. Danzo’s crazy move undoubtedly dropped a time bomb in the ninja world. Once these resurrected strong people are released, it will bring a huge disaster to the ninja world.
White Zetsu knew the importance of this information, and its body tensed up instantly, not daring to slack off. It knew clearly that it had to convey this news to Black Zetsu and Obito immediately. So, White Zetsu quickly activated the special communication method between Black Zetsu and passed this shocking news accurately through a mysterious chakra fluctuation.
The secret base where Black Zetsu is located is located in a desolate valley, surrounded by towering mountains and very steep terrain. The interior of the base is dark and damp, filled with a strange atmosphere. Black Zetsu and Obito hid here together. This is their carefully selected temporary base, which is very hidden and not easily discovered by the outside world.
When Black Zetsu heard the information from White Zetsu, a sly light flashed in its originally dull eyes. Like a fox that smelled the scent of its prey, it had already begun to think about how to use this information to realize its own conspiracy. Black Zetsu quickly moved to Obito’s side, whispered in his ear, and said in a low and mysterious voice: “Obito, we got some very interesting information. That old guy Danzo is so bold that he actually used the Impure World Reincarnation to revive a bunch of strong men, and he also planned to attack Konoha Village. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
When Obito heard this, a complicated look flashed in his eyes. He certainly knew Danzo’s ambition. This shrewd guy had always coveted the highest power in Konoha Village. In order to achieve his goal, he would not hesitate to use any despicable means. But Obito did not expect Danzo to be so bold as to dare to use the Impure World Reincarnation Technique at this sensitive time. This was undoubtedly a declaration of war on the entire ninja world.
Obito frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a trace of contemplation. He said in a deep voice: “Danzo is playing with fire. Once the Impure World Reincarnation Technique gets out of control, it will cause an unimaginable disaster. However, this fire can be used well by us.” Obito knew that Danzo’s crazy move would definitely lead to a strong resistance from Konoha Village, and this was a good opportunity for them to reap the benefits.
Black Zetsu and Obito looked at each other, and a sly look flashed in their eyes. Their thoughts coincided with each other, as if they had seen the future development of the situation. Black Zetsu said softly: “Why don’t we continue to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, let Konoha Village and Danzo consume each other first. When they are both defeated, we will take action, and maybe we can fish in troubled waters and get unexpected benefits.” Black Zetsu’s voice was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, full of insidiousness and cunning.
Obito nodded in agreement: “This is a good idea. However, we can’t stay out of it completely. We must always be prepared to deal with emergencies. After all, Danzo and Konoha Village are not characters that can be easily messed with. They may make unexpected moves at any time.” Obito knew very well that in this game of power and ambition, any small mistake could lead to a complete loss.
Black Zetsu smiled slightly, and was very satisfied with Obito’s plan. He believed that as long as they acted according to this plan, they would be able to find opportunities in this chaos and achieve their goal – the Moon Eye Plan. The Moon Eye Plan was their ultimate goal, and once successfully implemented, they would control the fate of the entire ninja world.
Obito stood up, his eyes revealed a hint of determination. He patted Black Zetsu’s shoulder and said, “Black Zetsu, you continue to monitor the movements of Danzo and Konoha Village. I will be ready to act at any time. We must always remain vigilant and not let any opportunity slip away from us.” Obito’s tone was full of confidence and determination, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
Black Zetsu nodded, indicating that he understood. He knew that he and Obito had to be careful in their actions and could not be discovered by anyone. They needed to observe in secret and wait for the best opportunity. Once the time was right, they would strike quickly like hunters in the dark night and give the enemy a fatal blow.
“Remember, don’t alert the enemy.” Obito emphasized again. He knew very well that in this battle between conspiracy and counter-conspiracy, any tiny flaw could lead to the failure of the entire plan.
Black Zetsu smiled slightly: “Don’t worry, Lord Obito. Every step we take is to realize the Moon Eye Project. I will carry out the mission carefully and will never let you down.” Black Zetsu’s voice was full of loyalty and determination. He was willing to pay any price to realize the Moon Eye Project.
In this game of power and ambition, Obito and Black Zetsu act quietly like shadows in the dark night. They know that the future situation will be more complicated and changeable, but they are ready to meet all challenges. They believe that as long as they work together, they will be able to achieve the final victory in this cruel struggle and realize their ambitions and aspirations.
61. Danzo’s Strike (Old Version)
Under the scorching sun, the whole world seemed to be thrown into a huge furnace. In front of the gate of Konoha Village, the air seemed to be distorted by the heat and tension. Danzo and Shimura Hiruzen were like two mountains facing each other, each emitting a powerful aura. The space between them was filled with a suffocating atmosphere of tension, as if only a spark could trigger a world-shaking war.
Danzo raised his chin slightly, his eagle-like eyes flashing with greed and blazing ambition, like a hungry beast eyeing its long-coveted prey. Hiruzen frowned, his face full of seriousness and deep worry, his eyes revealing his worry about the fate of the village and his uneasiness about the impending crisis.
“Danzo, are you…are you really planning to attack Konoha?” Hiruzen’s voice was low and firm, and every word seemed to come from the depths of his soul. He took a small step forward, trying to use this last bit of reason and emotion to convince this former companion in front of him.
“Huruzen, Konoha is already rotten.” Danzo’s voice was calm and powerful, as firm as the collision of steel. He crossed his arms, his eyes revealing an unquestionable determination, “Only through this action can we remove those obstacles that are like termites that hinder our progress and let Konoha regain its vitality.”
Hiruzen quickly shook his head, his voice carrying a hint of urgency and helplessness: “Danzo, you are wrong. Although Konoha does have many problems, just like a big tree infested with worms, it does not mean that we have to cut down the whole tree. We can improve the current situation through reform and patient negotiations, and let this big tree thrive again.”
“Reform and negotiation?” Danzo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer of contempt, “Will those guys be willing? They are like a group of greedy wolves, only caring about their own interests, and will never make even the slightest compromise for the overall interests of Konoha.”
Hiruzen took a deep breath, trying to calm his rapid breathing, trying to maintain his final calm: “Danzo, you can’t easily give up the beautiful hope for the future because of your obsession and hatred for the setbacks and injustices in the past. We are all loyal guardians of Konoha. Our sacred duty is to protect the village, not push it into the abyss of destruction.”
A complex emotion flashed across Danzo’s eyes, which was the entanglement of past memories, the desire for future ambitions, and a slight hesitation in the persuasion of his companions. But this emotion was like a meteor across the night sky, fleeting, and he quickly returned to his cold and firm expression: “But there are some things that must be done by someone. I can’t just watch Konoha sink like a broken ship in the wind and rain.”
Hiruzen’s voice unconsciously rose a few notes, with a hint of anger and anxiety: “Danzo, you are playing with fire! Once the attack is launched, the whole of Konoha will be like a house thrown into a sea of ​​fire, falling into endless chaos, and countless innocent villagers will die like lambs to be slaughtered.”
Danzo was silent for a moment, he lowered his head, as if thinking about something. After a while, he slowly raised his head, his eyes revealing a determination to burn his boats: “I know this is a road full of dangers and thorns, but I have no choice. For the true future of Konoha, I must do this.”
Hiruzen looked at Danzo with disappointment, a gloomy look in his eyes: “Danzo, do you really think that your crazy behavior is for the good of Konoha?”
Danzo did not answer, but turned around silently and walked towards the door with firm steps. His back looked so determined, like an unshakable mountain. He knew that Hiruzen would not understand his choice. In Hiruzen’s eyes, he might have become a complete lunatic. But he had made a vow in his heart that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, no matter how many people misunderstood and accused him, he would unswervingly realize his plan.
Hiruzen looked at Danzo’s departing back, feeling powerless. His hands trembled slightly, as if he wanted to grab something, but was powerless. He knew that he could not stop Danzo’s crazy behavior, but at least he had to prepare for the future of Konoha, like a brave warrior, to protect the land he loved deeply.
The next morning, before the first ray of dawn had completely illuminated the sky of Konoha Village, the village was attacked by Danzo in chaos. The strong men who had been resurrected from the Impure World Reincarnation were like demons crawling out of hell, wreaking havoc in the village. Wherever they went, houses were destroyed, and the villagers fled in terror. The screams, cries and roars of battle intertwined together, like a sad song of doomsday.
The ninjas of Konoha were like brave guards, fighting against these evil forces with all their might. They brandished their weapons, performed various powerful ninjutsu, and fought a desperate battle with the enemy. Their clothes were soaked with sweat, and the ground beneath their feet was stained red with blood, but they did not retreat at all, and they had only one firm belief in their hearts: to protect Konoha and their homeland.
Hiruzen stood at the forefront of the battle, his eyes filled with grief and anger. Seeing the once peaceful and tranquil village become so devastated, his heart seemed to be pierced by countless sharp blades. But he knew that he could not fall down. He had to fight for the future of Konoha and for those innocent villagers, even at the cost of his own life.
Danzo was hiding in a dark corner, secretly observing the battle. His heart was filled with complex emotions, including the expectation that the plan would be implemented smoothly, a little guilt for possibly destroying Konoha, and a firm belief that he would make Konoha great again after becoming the Hokage. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails almost embedded in the palms of his hands, as if cheering himself up, waiting for the moment that belonged to him to come.
62. Battle between whirlpools (old version)
On the outskirts of Konoha Village, darkness quietly enveloped the area like a huge curtain, and the strong wind raged in the wilderness like a roaring beast. A tragic and fierce battle was in full swing.
Danzo, who had evil intentions, had greed and ambition in his eyes. He quickly formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and performed the evil Reincarnation Technique. As a gloomy smoke spread, the tall and majestic figure of Uzumaki Mito slowly emerged. Danzo had a smug sneer on his face, trying to use Mito’s powerful strength like a sharp blade to pierce the heart of Konoha Village and deal a fatal blow to this place he had coveted for a long time.
As the current brave and fearless Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, Uzumaki Kushina’s heart is burning with love and loyalty to Konoha Village. When she saw Mito being used by Danzo, she did not hesitate or retreat at all. Like a red lightning, she quickly stepped forward and resolutely launched a thrilling duel with the Evil World Mito.
Kushina stood on a pile of ruins with a heroic posture. The wind whistled and swept past. Her long red hair, as bright as flames, fluttered in the wind, as if a burning fire was dancing. Her eyes were firm and resolute, like the brightest stars in the night sky, revealing a determination not to give in. She knew very well that the senior in front of her, who had once been highly respected by her, was now controlled by evil forces and became a tool to hurt Konoha. She had to muster up all her courage and strength to defeat this powerful opponent in front of her.
“Mito-san, why are you doing this?!” Kushina shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice trembling in the strong wind, with a hint of uncontrollable sobs. In her voice, there was both pain and confusion for her senior, as well as worry about the fate of Konoha Village.
Edo Mito turned around slowly. Her figure looked particularly tall and gloomy in the cold moonlight, like a cold statue. Her eyes were empty and cold, like a bottomless cold pond, without any emotional fluctuations, forming a sharp and strong contrast with the burning passion in Kushina’s eyes.
“Kushina, don’t you understand? All this is for the future of Konoha.” Mito’s voice was low and hoarse, like a sigh from a distant hell. Her body was trembling slightly, and every inch of her skin was resisting the strange feeling brought by the Impure World Reincarnation. Obviously, this unnatural state made her miserable.
Kushina shook her head gently, tears sparkling in her eyes like stars in the night sky: “Grandma Mito, you are not that kind of person! Danzo deceived you! He only has his own ambitions in his heart, and doesn’t care about the future of Konoha at all!”
Mito raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a bitter and helpless smile: “Maybe, but now I am like a puppet controlled by silk strings, and can only act according to his will.”
Kushina took a deep breath, and the fresh air rushed into her lungs, instantly clearing her mind. Her hands quickly formed seals like a nimble butterfly, and the chakra in her body began to surge like a surging river. She knew clearly that this would be an extremely difficult battle, and every step was full of danger and challenges.
“Chakra Chain!” Kushina shouted in a low voice, her voice full of strength and determination. Her hands instantly released several thick chakra chains, like ferocious dragons, with the sound of whistling wind, and rushed straight towards Mito.
Mito’s eyes were stern, like a vigilant cheetah. She quickly formed a seal, and a powerful chakra shield that shone with light instantly formed around her body. The shield was as solid as a rock, like an insurmountable fortress. The chakra chain hit the shield fiercely, making a harsh friction sound and sparks flying, but it failed to break through this solid defense line.
“Sealing technique? Four-element barrier!” Mito shouted, and her hands quickly formed a complex seal like lightning. A powerful barrier was formed instantly, and the barrier glowed, trapping Kushina tightly inside.
Kushina immediately felt that the air around her seemed to solidify and become extremely heavy. Every breath she took was like pulling a heavy iron chain. Her movements were greatly restricted, and every step she took seemed like a heavy burden was pressing on her. But she did not give up at all. Instead, her faith in her heart became more firm, like an unshakable mountain.
“Mito, I won’t let you hurt Konoha!” Kushina shouted, her voice full of strength and fighting spirit. She concentrated again, her hands danced quickly, and the chakra chains were released again. This time the chains were denser and stronger, like a huge net, covering Mito.
Mito’s barrier began to crack under the fierce impact of the chakra chain, and tiny cracks spread like a spider web. She was shocked, knowing that Kushina’s strength should not be underestimated. This young junior has grown into a powerful opponent.
“Kushina, do you really want to be my enemy?” There was a hint of helplessness and regret in Mito’s voice, as if she was feeling sad for this inevitable battle.
“Grandma Mito, I am not your enemy! I am your junior and your family! You have been deceived by Danzo, let us fight against him together and protect Konoha!” There was a hint of sob in Kushina’s voice, which was the love for the predecessors and the desire for peace.
Mito’s body trembled slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, which was the attachment to the beautiful memories of the past and the helpless pain of reality. She seemed to see the young Kushina, the girl full of vitality and hope, running happily in the sunshine of Konoha Village.
When the two were at a stalemate, Kushina suddenly felt a strong and violent chakra surging in her body, like a beast awakened. She knew that this was the power of the Nine-Tails.
“Kushina, you also asked me for help.” The voice of the Nine-Tails sounded in Kushina’s mind, with a hint of teasing and sarcasm.
Kushina responded eagerly in her heart: “Nine-Tails, I need your power! Grandma Mito is being controlled by the Impure World Reincarnation, I must stop her and protect Konoha!”
The Nine-Tails smiled slightly, with a hint of disdain in his smile: “Okay, Kushina. I will lend you some power. Compared to you, I still hate Uzumaki Mito, the wife of that hateful Senju Hashirama, more.”
Kushina nodded firmly, and her body began to be wrapped by the Nine-Tails’ chakra, which was like a ball of blazing flame, emitting a powerful aura. Her long red hair became more vivid and dazzling, like a burning flame, and a hint of golden light was revealed in her eyes, as if it was the power bestowed by the gods.
“The power of the Nine-Tails!” Mito saw the chakra fluctuations on Kushina’s body, and a hint of surprise and shock flashed in her eyes. She never thought that this young girl could use the power of the Nine-Tails so freely.
Kushina took a deep breath and concentrated again. She released her chakra chains again. This time, not only were there more of them, like a dense rain of arrows, but they also carried the violent and powerful chakra of the Nine-Tails, greatly increasing its power.
“Grandma Mito, take it!” Kushina shouted loudly, and her chakra chain attacked Mito like a storm, and the momentum seemed to destroy the whole world.
Mito’s barrier collapsed rapidly under the fierce impact of the Nine-Tails’ chakra, just like fragile glass shattered instantly under the impact of a boulder. She quickly formed a seal and tried to perform the sealing technique again, but it was too late.
Battle Turn
Kushina’s chakra chains successfully trapped Mito like a flexible python, making her unable to move. She quickly formed a seal and performed a powerful sealing technique. The light of the sealing technique shone like a bright star, temporarily suppressing the power of the Impure World Reincarnation in Mito’s body.
“Grandma Mito, you must wake up!” Kushina shouted loudly, her eyes full of determination and expectation, hoping that her senior could break free from the control of the evil force.
Mito’s body began to tremble violently. Her expression was distorted and her face was full of pain and struggle. She was obviously fighting tenaciously against the powerful control of the Impure World Reincarnation.
“Kushina… protect Konoha…” Mito’s voice was weak and hoarse, like a candle about to go out in the wind. Her body began to gradually collapse, turning into dust and drifting away with the wind.
Kushina nodded with tears in her eyes, and the tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the ruins: “Grandma Mito, I will! Don’t worry, I will protect Konoha with my life!”
As Mito’s body turned to dust, Kushina knew that this battle was just the beginning, and Danzo’s conspiracy was like a dark abyss, unfathomable. She would continue to stick to the path of protecting Konoha until Danzo’s evil forces were completely defeated and Konoha Village would regain the light of peace and hope.
63. Father and Son Duel 1 (Old Version)
In the remote and dangerous border of Konoha Village, there was a thick and oppressive haze. The howling wind swept through, rustling the surrounding trees, as if telling of the impending danger. Kakashi walked forward with steady steps but a hint of nervousness. Suddenly, his eyes froze, and a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared in his sight. It was the reincarnated Hatake Sakumo – Kakashi’s father.
Hatake Sakumo was a well-deserved elite jonin in Konoha Village during his lifetime. With his superb swordsmanship and fearless fighting style, he won the awe-inspiring title of “Konoha White Fang”. At this moment, he stood there quietly, holding the special chakra short knife “White Fang” tightly in his hand. This knife is like a sleeping giant, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura. A layer of light white chakra light lingers around the blade, like the cold and dazzling frost and snow in winter, which is also the origin of its name. “White Fang” is not just a weapon, but also a symbol of Hatake Sakumo’s glory and strength. It is his most trusted partner in countless battles.
When Kakashi saw his father, his heart was hit hard by a heavy hammer, and he felt a sharp pain. His eyes widened instantly, full of shock, pain and disbelief. He stood there blankly, as if time had frozen at this moment. Every bit of his time with his father flashed through his mind, and those warm pictures were like sharp blades, piercing his heart. He took a deep breath and tried to wake himself up from the shock. He knew that this would be an extremely difficult battle and he had to go all out. So he quickly entered the fighting state, his hands quickly formed seals like a smart butterfly, ready to perform ninjutsu, his eyes revealing firmness and determination.
“Father, I am Kakashi!” Kakashi shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice trembling in the strong wind, carrying a hint of despair and expectation, trying to awaken the memory of his father that was sleeping deep inside.
However, Edo Tensei Sakumo did not respond. His eyes were empty and cold, like a bottomless cold pond, without any emotional fluctuations. He quickly swung the White Fang short knife in his hand, the blade light flashed like snow, with a biting coldness, and went straight to Kakashi. The blade was as fast as lightning, and people had almost no time to react. Kakashi’s body reacted instinctively, and he used the instant body movement technique to dodge, and his figure flashed by like a ghost. At the same time, he formed seals with his hands again, and whispered: “Earth escape? Chase and kill technique!”
In an instant, the ground seemed to be awakened by a mysterious force, and suddenly tall earth walls emerged, like solid city walls, trying to block Sakumo’s attack. The earth walls were towering into the sky, with a rough and solid surface, exuding the heavy breath of the earth. But Sakumo’s physical skills were as fast as lightning. His figure jumped lightly, like an agile cheetah, and he jumped over the earth wall lightly. The white fang short knife attacked again with the sound of breaking wind. The sound of the wind seemed to be the howling of the god of death, which made people feel terrified.
Kakashi quickly retreated, his steps steady and agile, each step just enough to distance himself from Sakumo. He quickly formed seals with both hands again and shouted, “Raikiri!”
His body instantly burst out with powerful lightning chakra, and he rushed towards Sakumo like a shining meteor with dazzling light. With the Raikiri in his hand, the light was radiant, and that light seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness and illuminate the whole world. But Sakumo’s reaction was just as fast, and his eyes were sharp and sharp, as if he could see through Kakashi’s every move. He lightly dodged the edge of Raikiri like a breeze. The White Fang short sword drew a graceful and deadly arc, with a powerful force that forced Kakashi to retreat again.
“Father, do you really not recognize me?!” Kakashi’s voice was choked with sobs, and the voice was full of pain and helplessness. He stared at Sakumo with tears in his eyes, as if he was praying for his father to wake up.
Edo Tensei Sakumo still did not stop attacking. His eyes were empty, but his physical skills and swordsmanship were precise and fierce. He swung his sword again, and the force of the sword was as fierce as a storm. Each sword swung with great power, as if he wanted to defeat Kakashi completely. Kakashi kept dodging, and his figure shuttled through the swords and shadows, like a bird struggling in a storm.
Kakashi knew that he couldn’t stay in a passive defense state all the time, he had to find an opportunity to counterattack. So, he quickly formed a seal and shouted: “Water Style? Water Array Wall!”
A huge wall of water appeared out of nowhere, like a raging waterfall, blocking Sakumo’s white fang short sword with its majestic momentum. The wall of water sparkled with crystal light under the sunlight, emitting bursts of water vapor. Kakashi seized this opportunity, and in a flash, he used Raikiri again, and his body went straight to Sakumo like an arrow from a bow.
This time, Sakumo was knocked back by the powerful force of Raikiri. His body shook slightly and his steps staggered a few times. He stabilized his body, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, as if he had lost his way in the darkness, and seemed to be trying to break free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation.
“Father, please wake up!” Kakashi cried, his voice full of pleading and expectation. He stared at Sakumo, hoping to see the familiar light in his father’s eyes.
Edo Tensho’s body trembled slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He seemed to have returned to the past, remembering the time when he taught his son. The young Kakashi, with his innocent face full of curiosity and yearning for the ninja world, gradually grew up to be an excellent ninja under his guidance. Those warm and beautiful memories, like a warm current, surged into his heart.
But the power of the Impure World Reincarnation still tightly controlled his movements, and his body involuntarily swung the White Fang Dagger again. However, this time his movements were obviously slower, as if he was restrained by an invisible force.
Kakashi seized this opportunity, he quickly formed a seal and shouted loudly: “Raikiri!”
He rushed towards Sakumo again, and the light of Raikiri was even more dazzling, as if it could burn the whole world. This time, he successfully hit Sakumo’s arm, and the powerful force caused Sakumo’s arm to feel a sharp pain, and he had to let go of the White Fang short sword in his hand.
“Father, please wake up!” Kakashi’s voice was tearful and echoed in the empty border.
Edo Tensei Sakumo’s voice was weak and hoarse: “Kakashi…”
64. Father and Son Duel 2 (old version)
Kakashi stared closely at his father’s eyes. The occasional glimmer of light in his eyes made him feel like a flame of hope. He knew that the evil control of the Impure World Reincarnation was gradually weakening, and his father’s sleeping consciousness was slowly awakening from the darkness.
“Father, can you hear me?” Kakashi shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing in the empty border with a hint of irrepressible urgency. Every word seemed to have exhausted all his strength, how much he hoped that his father could hear his call.
Maosaku’s body trembled slightly, as if Kakashi’s voice had struck him deep in his heart. A glimmer of clarity flashed across his eyes, like a meteor in the darkness, brief and dazzling. But soon, that glimmer of clarity was swallowed up by the evil power of the Impure World Reincarnation, and his eyes became empty again. He mechanically waved the White Fang dagger in his hand, the blade flashing like snow, with a biting chill, and launched a fierce attack on Kakashi again.
Kakashi reacted quickly, his body flashed like a ghost, and he dodged quickly. At the same time, he quickly formed seals with his hands and whispered: “Earth escape technique? Chasing technique!” In an instant, the ground seemed to be awakened by a mysterious force, and tall earth walls suddenly emerged, like solid city walls, trying to block Mosaku’s attack. The earth walls were towering into the sky, with a rough and solid surface, exuding a heavy breath of the earth. Mosaku’s physical skills were still extremely swift, and his figure shuttled between the earth walls like a flash of lightning. However, Kakashi keenly captured some hesitation in his movements, and that hesitation was like a ray of light in the darkness, allowing Kakashi to see a glimmer of hope.
“Father, I’m Kakashi! Don’t you remember the ninjutsu you taught me?!” Kakashi dodged the attacks flexibly while shouting at the top of his lungs. His voice was filled with pain and anticipation, and every word seemed to be shouted from the bottom of his heart. He hoped to use these memories to awaken his father’s dormant consciousness.
Mosaku’s attack came again like a storm, but Kakashi was not afraid and quickly used Raikiri to counterattack. The light of Raikiri flashed in the night sky like a dazzling lightning. The battle between the two continued at the border of Konoha Village. Everything around them seemed to have disappeared, and time and space seemed to have solidified, leaving only this thrilling contest between father and son.
In a fierce battle, Kakashi seized the opportunity and his Raikiri was like a sharp sword, accurately hitting Mosaku’s arm. The powerful force caused Mosaku’s arm to feel a sharp pain, and the White Fang short knife flew out of his hand, drawing a beautiful arc in the air. His body swayed and he almost fell to the ground. But he relied on his tenacious will to stabilize his body, and a glimmer of clarity finally flashed in his eyes, and that clarity was like a bright light in the darkness, illuminating Kakashi’s heart.
“Kakashi… is that you?” Maosaku’s voice was weak and hoarse, as if it came from far away. His eyes were full of confusion and surprise, like a person lost in the dark who finally found his way home.
Kakashi was overjoyed, as if he had seen the light of dawn in the darkness. He quickly approached his father, tears of excitement flashing in his eyes: “Father, it’s me! You finally regained consciousness!”
Mao Shuo gradually regained consciousness. He slowly looked around and saw that he was in a messy battlefield. The White Fang dagger in his hand was nowhere to be seen. He frowned slightly, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, trying to sort out the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
“Where am I? What happened?!” There was a hint of anxiety in Mao Shuo’s voice, and his heart was full of confusion and uneasiness.
Kakashi quickly explained, “Father, you were resurrected by that despicable fellow Danzo. He used forbidden techniques to revive you and other strong men in an attempt to attack Konoha Village. His ambitions are obvious.”
A trace of anger flashed in Mao Shuo’s eyes. He clenched his fists so tightly that his joints turned white due to the force. “That old thief Danzo! He actually did such a heinous thing.”
Kakashi nodded heavily, his expression serious: “Yes, father. But the most important thing now is that you can regain consciousness. We have to find a way to completely get rid of the control of the Impure World Reincarnation and never let Danzo’s conspiracy succeed.”
Mao Shuo took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. His eyes revealed a hint of determination, like the brightest star in the night sky: “Kakashi, I feel that the power of the Impure World Reincarnation is still affecting me. We have to find a solution as soon as possible, time is running out.”
At this moment, Danzo’s trusted followers, Black Shadow and Ashes, rushed to the battlefield like ghosts. When they saw that Maosaku had regained consciousness, a trace of surprise and anger flashed in their eyes, and they immediately prepared to attack again, wanting to destroy the father and son in one fell swoop.
“Kakashi, get ready! The battle is not over yet!” Maosaku quickly stood in front of Kakashi. Although his body was still partially controlled by the power of the Impure World Reincarnation, he was determined to protect his son. His figure looked particularly tall in the moonlight, like a towering mountain.
Kakashi quickly formed a seal and shouted, “Water Style? Water Wall!” A huge water wall appeared out of thin air. The water wall was like a raging waterfall, blocking the enemy’s attack with its majestic momentum. The water wall sparkled with crystal light under the moonlight, emitting bursts of water vapor. Mao Shuo also quickly picked up the White Fang short sword again, holding it tightly in his hand, and fought side by side with Kakashi. The figures of the father and son looked extremely determined in the night.
“Father, let’s fight together!” Kakashi shouted, his voice full of strength and determination.
Mao Shuo nodded, his eyes full of determination: “For Konoha, for you, I will fight to the end!”
The father and son fought side by side on the battlefield, their figures shuttled through the swords and shadows, like a pair of war gods. Facing Danzo’s pursuers, they knew it would be an arduous battle, but with each other’s support, they were full of confidence and believed that they could overcome all difficulties.
In the interval of the battle, Maosaku panted, looked at Kakashi, and said earnestly: “Kakashi, I understand that you have always been doubtful about my choice, and even think that I am rebellious. But you have to know that as a ninja, sometimes you have to make difficult choices. In order to protect important people, the rules can be broken.” These words were like a flash of lightning, illuminating the confusion deep in Kakashi’s heart and making him fall into deep thought.
Kakashi was shocked, and his mind quickly flashed back to his misunderstanding of his father for many years, as well as what Obito once said to him: “People who break the iron rules and laws are trash, but people who don’t know how to cherish their companions are even worse than trash.” He finally understood his father’s original difficulties, and the confusion in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by determination and relief.
“Father, I understand! You gave up the mission to protect your companions. You are not a rebel, but a hero!” Kakashi’s voice was a little choked, but his eyes were extremely firm, like a shining star.
When Mao Shuo heard this, a warm current surged in his heart, as if he felt the warm sunshine in the cold winter. He smiled with relief, and there was a hint of relief and pride in that smile: “Kakashi, I am proud of you, my son.”
At this moment, Danzo’s confidants launched another fierce attack, and their attacks came like a tide. The father and son fought side by side, and Mosaku’s white fang short sword flashed cold light in the moonlight. Every swing brought great power, as if it could cut off all obstacles. Kakashi’s Raikiri also drew dazzling light in the night, like a gorgeous rainbow. Their cooperation was tacit and precise, and every attack hit the enemy’s vital points, and every defense was as solid as a rock, like an impregnable fortress.
