Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

Exceptional talent, coupled with 200% to 300% hard work.

The Uchiha clan has no shortage of strong mentors.

As a result of the family's rich heritage, many seemingly ordinary old men and women in the clan may very well have been once renowned and powerful figures.

Soon, Yi Dang Qi grew rapidly.

Kakashi Hatake, a legendary ninja who entered school at the age of five and graduated early at the age of seven with the highest score, second only to the future Sixth Hokage, is a non-bloodline ninja whose talent ranks among the top three.

Chapter 184 Uchiha Itachi: My Clan Members Lack Magnanimity

Itachi Uchiha was born in Konoha in the 46th year.

When he was four years old, the Third Shinobi World War had just entered its most intense phase.

The four major ninja villages joined forces to attack Konoha, bringing it to the brink of destruction.

That same year, the police force was forced to step onto the battlefield of the Land of Water.

To fight against an entire ninja village on a battlefield where one's own clan was at a complete disadvantage,

The Uchiha clan suffered heavy casualties, plunging this ancient and powerful clan into its lowest point of decline in history.

In the same year,

Seeing this, F4 immediately concluded that the police department was no longer something to fear.

The targeting of the Uchiha clan has shifted from the previous covert and cautious approach.

They switched to playing their cards straight out, no longer hiding anything, and they were drastic and forceful, like forcing a bull to drink water.

As a result, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha deteriorated rapidly.

Then came Konoha Year 51, after Itachi Uchiha began attending school.

First, there was a fierce and bloody battle on Kikyo Mountain, in which everyone except the F4—the elderly, women, and children—fought.

In just over half a year, the terrifying Nine-Tails attack, which shook the entire ninja world, broke out.

The fourth generation couple both perished, and the number of casualties in the village was countless.

Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't hesitate to shift the blame onto the Uchiha clan.

As a result, even the clan's residence was forced to relocate to the edge of the village.

As the founding family of Konoha, they were actually driven out of their own territory.

This was nothing short of a disgrace to the Uchiha clan.

This intensified family tensions.

All of this was observed by Itachi Uchiha.

However, at such a young age,

They simply cannot comprehend the brutality and deeper issues of the power struggles among the upper echelons.

He just thought his clansmen were too noisy.

He's like a madman, always making a racket, constantly yelling about killing this person or spouting nonsense, his mouth full of profanities.

He acted arrogantly and menacingly towards almost all his non-tribe members.

It's as if everyone owes me millions.

Even he himself, a true Uchiha, the son of the clan head,

They simply didn't show strong agreement with their crazy, stupid, brain-dead, and insane ideas.

They all frequently expressed extreme dissatisfaction with this.

Itachi Uchiha utterly despised such "family honor."

He has his own ideas.

Of course, sometimes,

Even someone fighting seven opponents at once couldn't help but have some doubts.

Why were the people so agitated and even indignant?

What if the village is actually wrong?

After all, his thoughts and actions were so incompatible with the Uchiha clan.

Come to think of it, I should be an oddball in my family.

The scroll depicts Itachi Uchiha's various experiences during his two years of schooling through a series of short videos.

And his behavior and thoughts when faced with these experiences.

For example, being ostracized and isolated by classmates at school.

He felt that the Uchiha surname was a burden to him, but he neither explained himself nor made any effort to befriend anyone.

I encountered several members of my clan gathered together, loudly criticizing the village for its injustices.

He believed these people lacked "magnanimity".

They only care about their own interests, have no regard for the village, and are far too narrow-minded.

So he looked at them with disdain.

At family gatherings,

Some people clamored for war against Konoha, demanding the village pay for its blood debts, and this garnered support from many others.

Itachi Uchiha's face was filled with terror.

He roared inwardly, "Are these people insane? Do they know what war means? It will destroy this village!"

and also,

At the opening ceremony, Hiruzen Sarutobi recounted his long, tedious, and boring Will of Fire.

Everyone, including the faculty and staff, was falling asleep.

Only Uchiha Itachi had bright, piercing eyes, as if every glance was filled with admiration, excitement, and exhilaration.

Where leaves dance in the air, fire will continue to burn, its light illuminating the village and allowing new leaves to sprout.

He felt that this was exactly what he had been searching for all along.

It's so perfect, so magnificent, so insightful.

This is how ninjas should be, and this is how the world should be.

……

Before long, the video had progressed to two years in the future.

In the video, Itachi Uchiha has applied for early graduation.

Generally speaking, graduating early is much more difficult than graduating at the normal level.

Normally, graduation only requires assessment of the three physical skills and academic subjects.

However, graduating early requires battles between ninjas.

However, Itachi Uchiha cleared all the stages with his brilliant and effortless victory.

In the Hokage's office,

The four members of Konoha F4 gathered together.

The crystal ball was playing footage of Itachi Uchiha fighting a veteran Chunin and easily toying with his opponent.

Danzo, as usual, had a gloomy face.

Koharu Utatane and Ero Mitokado also looked quite unwell.

"Another Uchiha genius. How come this clan produces so many geniuses?"

We must find a way to get rid of him quickly; we absolutely cannot allow him to grow into a second Shisui of the Instantaneous Movement.

"Yes, Shisui is Kagami's grandson, so he's relatively more on our side. The Uchiha clan can still be kept in check for now."

Things will get complicated once their own geniuses develop.

Koharu and Homura, who were in the same dorm, kept talking back and forth.

Danzo, standing nearby, couldn't hold back any longer.

"I told you long ago, the Uchiha clan is a menace and must be eradicated as soon as possible. We cannot allow them to continue growing."

You just won't listen, you're afraid of everything, you think this won't do and that won't do.

it's good now?

"One minor genius is manageable, but what if this war spawns several kaleidoscopes? Heh, what will we use to fight them then?"

"Sarutobi, say something!"

The group was engaged in a lively discussion, but the third generation leader, who was the central figure, remained silent throughout.

Danzo immediately tapped the floor heavily with his cane in dissatisfaction.

"No, this child can be used by me."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head confidently.

He reached into the drawer, took out a document, and placed it on the table, saying:

"Look at this."

PS: Guys, this is utterly speechless.

While researching, I suddenly discovered a discrepancy between the timeline settings in two official documents.

The setting of the Book of Lin: The first part begins when Naruto graduates in Konoha year 60.

The Book of Formations states that Shippuden takes place in Konoha 66.

As clearly stated in key plot points, only three years passed between the end of the first season and the beginning of Shippuden.

Therefore, three versions of the Naruto timeline are circulating online.
