Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 80 The Way of the Ninja
Sasuke ran to the clan's training ground.

In the past, Itachi had given him a lot of guidance in his training here.

Itachi had no weaknesses in ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, or ninja tools.

Although Sasuke was considered a genius at the Ninja Academy, he was still far inferior to Itachi.

Sasuke also had some inner conflict. On one hand, he admired Itachi, but on the other hand, he disliked Itachi.

But in Sasuke's heart, Itachi was still very important, no less important than his parents.

However, Itachi defected and became a rogue ninja, which Sasuke could not accept.

Was Itachi's filial piety towards his parents and his love for his younger brother just a pretense all along? Was he just pretending to be what everyone expected?

Sasuke clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and his eyes blazed with fury.

He was showing signs of awakening the one-tomoe Sharingan, but it was still a bit lacking; his... anger... wasn't enough!
"I want to become stronger, I want to beat Itachi up and bring him back to the village..." Sasuke made up his mind.

At that moment, the image of a certain loser appeared in Sasuke's mind.

Let's rescue Naruto while we're at it!

This is his way of ninjutsu.

Next, he began practicing as Itachi had taught him before.

Because of Itachi's defection, his father's position as clan head became unstable.

And many of his clansmen no longer liked him.

Furthermore, there was a lot of gossip circulating in the village.

Unbeknownst to Sasuke, someone was secretly using a telescope technique to monitor him.

When no one was around, the third generation secretly took out the crystal ball.

He peered around the village, his gaze finally settling on Sasuke.

Sasuke had only just started school, but his grades at the Ninja Academy were excellent, making him quite a genius.

However, in the Third Hokage's view, Sasuke was far inferior to Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Minato, Shisui, Kakashi, and Itachi.

Even among geniuses, there are differences.

but……

"Uchiha Sasuke, perhaps he will also be a successor to the Will of Fire," the Third Hokage thought to himself.

We need to pay more attention to this.

Itachi went undercover in Akatsuki despite the infamy, so it was also necessary for him to help take care of Itachi's younger brother.

Shisui committed suicide, Itachi left, and the village needed another Uchiha genius with the Will of Fire, and Sasuke had that potential.

After observing for a while, the third generation put away the crystal ball.

……

"Humph!"

The root organization's base, in the dark depths.

Danzo looked unwell.

He told the third generation that the organization was short of funds, and as a result, the third generation only allocated 250 million taels to him.

If it were 2500 million taels, that would be one thing, but 250 million taels? That's practically an insult to him.

However annoyed as I am, I still have to accept the money, no matter how much or how little.

Even two million taels would be better than nothing.

With his eyes half-closed, Danzo was once again pondering Wood Release and the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Research on Wood Release needs to continue.

This is where Orochimaru comes in.

Orochimaru is a scientific research talent.

Given sufficient funding and resources, Orochimaru would surely be able to produce many results.

As for the kaleidoscope, we can simply target Itachi.

Don't think you can fool him. Itachi has long been brainwashed by the monkey and has become the monkey's lackey. As for his defection, it was definitely an act.

"Forging Hiruzen's letter will surely fool Itachi. Once Itachi is off guard, it won't be difficult to deliver the final blow," Danzo thought to himself.

He could almost see himself possessing two pairs of kaleidoscopes, one pair belonging to Shisui, and one pair belonging to Itachi.

If he could possess two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, and with the help of Orochimaru's power to unravel the secrets of the First Hokage's cells, and master the perfect Wood Release, then Shimura Danzo would be the strongest ninja in the world, comparable to the former God of Shinobi, and would become the greatest Hokage in history.

As for the title of "Strongest Hokage" held by the Monkey King, it's nothing but boasting. In his youth, the Monkey King could at most defeat Minato! Against the First or Second Hokage, he would have been utterly thrashed.

We must track Itachi's whereabouts and contact Orochimaru as soon as possible.

……

Several crows flew through the woods.

Two Root ninjas wearing animal masks flashed past, but they were tracking Itachi.

Their opponent was Uchiha Itachi, an S-rank rogue ninja with the Mangekyou Sharingan. The two Root ninjas were on high alert.

However, Weasel has not yet been found.

It's a pity it doesn't have Hinata's Byakugan, otherwise it would be much more convenient.

The Byakugan is still very powerful, and Danzo naturally coveted it as well.

However, the Hyuga clan is divided into the main family and the branch family. The branch family members are all cursed with the Caged Bird Seal, and their lives are controlled by the main family.

Under the effect of the Caged Bird Seal, the Byakugan will self-destruct if a member of the Hyuga branch family dies, and it will also self-destruct if a member of the Hyuga branch family is taken while still alive.

However, there are very few members in the Hyuga main family.

Hyuga Hizashi, the twin brother of Hyuga Hiashi, the current head of the Hyuga clan, also split up the family and was only able to escape the caged bird trap after his death.

The Hyuga main family doesn't have many members to begin with, so it's not very realistic to have someone from the Hyuga main family join Root. As for having someone from the Hyuga branch family join Root, Danzo would never accept that.

Even the Hokage's Anbu doesn't welcome members of the Hyuga branch family.

It must be said that the system of dividing the main family into branches and the Caged Bird Seal, although cruel, has also effectively protected the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan.

In contrast, the Uchiha clan clearly did not protect the Sharingan adequately.

Suddenly, the two Root ninjas stopped and looked at Itachi not far ahead with great apprehension.

Itachi calmly looked at the two Root ninja.

Although Itachi's eyes both had three tomoe, the two Root ninjas dared not look him in the eye.

However, even without making eye contact with Itachi, the two Root ninjas who saw Itachi's finger were immediately caught in a genjutsu.

Under the influence of genjutsu, the two Root ninjas discovered that their companions were missing. Then, Itachi attacked with a kunai in hand.

Both Root ninjas thought they were fighting Itachi, but little did they know they were killing each other.

Itachi stood aside and watched the two Root ninjas fight.

Both of these Root Ninja are Jonin.

While the Mangekyou Sharingan's genjutsu is powerful, it doesn't last long.

After taking one last look, Itachi turned and left.

Not long after Itachi left, the two Root ninjas also broke free from the genjutsu.

In the brief exchange, both Root ninjas only suffered minor injuries, which were insignificant.

"What a terrifying illusion," one of the root cultivators said, still shaken.

The other Gennin was also terrified.

Fortunately, Itachi didn't linger in the fight.

Generally speaking, once a member of the Uchiha clan awakens the three-tomoe Sharingan, their strength is basically at the Jonin level.

As for the Kaleidoscope, it can control tailed beasts.

Even elite Jonin are no match for the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Both of these Root ninjas possess powerful secret techniques and are both Jonin with considerable strength. If they were to join forces, even any Uchiha ninja with the three-tomoe Sharingan would likely struggle to cope, but they would be insufficient against the Mangekyou Sharingan.

In other words, Itachi didn't intend to kill.

Both Root Ninjas felt like they had been given a second chance at life.

Not long after, two more Root Ninja arrived.

……

After the Fourth Shinobi World War, peace returned to the shinobi world. The Uchiha family, a family of three, still hadn't finished paying off their mortgage...

Konoha, the Uchiha clan members: ? ? ?

The Fourth Shinobi World War? It ended before it even began?

Such a large Uchiha clan is gone?
The surviving Uchiha clan members still have to pay off their mortgages? What kind of nonsense is this?
