Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History

Chapter 47 is too boring, I want to see rivers of blood.

Uchiha Itachi: "@Senju Hashirama, @Namikaze Minato, my two seniors, I... want to become Hokage!"

"I no longer wish to be a pawn manipulated at will by the Konoha leadership, nor can I bear to sever my clan's bloodline and leave Sasuke alone to face that bleak future."

"I want to lead the Uchiha clan out of the shadows and wholeheartedly integrate them into Konoha. I hope you two seniors can give me some advice."

Itachi's gaze remained unwavering; he no longer trusted those lofty shadows and was determined to tear away the corruption himself, allowing Konoha to be reborn.

He knew that violence alone could not secure his position as Hokage; it was a truth he had gleaned from his understanding of the future.

As he later said:

It's not that only becoming Hokage earns people's recognition, but rather that only those who earn people's recognition can become Hokage.

At this moment, he longed for the approval of the two Hokage in the group. Although they didn't belong to this timeline, Itachi still anticipated their insights.

Especially Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage who was like a brother to his father, Fugaku Uchiha; his reputation resounded throughout Itachi's mind.

Meanwhile, inside Ichiraku Ramen in Konoha Village...

The Senju brothers, Hashirama and Tobirama, are enjoying the legendary Ichiraku Ramen that runs throughout the entire story.

Hashirama gently nudged Tobirama, who was focused on slurping noodles, and whispered, "Tobirama, there's an Uchiha kid who wants to become Hokage. I'd like to hear your thoughts."

Tobirama didn't even lift his eyelids, continuing to enjoy his meal: "Who? Madara? Let him do it then, it'll make things easier for me."

This ramen really has something special about it.

Hashirama smiled and shook his head: "It's not Madara, it's a little guy named Itachi, from another timeline. He's incredibly strong, and his talent is almost on par with Madara's."

"Itachi?" Tobirama seemed somewhat surprised.

"Let him be. How others live in their world is none of our business. Brother, you always worry too much."

"You can't say that. The fact that they came to ask me shows they still respect us, the Hokage."

Hashirama Senju pondered for a moment, then responded in the group chat:

Hashirama Senju: "Young man from the Uchiha clan, I suggest you pursue your dreams bravely. Forget becoming Hokage, even if you want to dominate the ninja world, there's nothing you can't do."

"But you must be careful, the era you live in is exceptionally delicate."

"With the Fourth Hokage's sacrifice, the Nine-Tails' rampage just over, a shortage of high-level combat power, low morale, and surrounded by external enemies, the path to becoming Hokage is fraught with peril. One wrong step could lead to Konoha's utter destruction."

"Haha, of course, we'll lend you a hand when it matters most, and we'll never let Konoha be destroyed."

After reading Hashirama's reply, Itachi Uchiha's eyes flashed with deep thought: "Is that so..."

Indeed, Hashirama's words hit the nail on the head. The Uchiha clan is currently eyeing the village covetously, eager to make their move while Konoha is somewhat weakened.

If I were to reveal my desire to become Hokage, the elites of my clan might be eager to drape the Hokage's cloak over my shoulders the very next day.

"Young clan leader, the weather is getting chilly, please put on another layer of clothing."

Then, these hot-blooded clansmen will directly ignite a war with Konoha, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage. In the end, everyone can only face destruction together, or call for help in the group to clean up the mess.

Itachi sighed softly; he needed to consider this matter carefully.

Minato Namikaze: "I support you, Itachi, but the First Hokage and I don't belong to this era. The final decision is yours."

Uchiha Itachi: "I understand, Fourth Hokage."

At that moment, a message popped up, instantly lifting Itachi's spirits—it was a reply from the group admin.

The person who created such a cross-time and space communication platform must possess extraordinary wisdom, right?

If Yuuki knew what Itachi thought of her, she would probably just say: "Super Intelligence tells me it's time to use Super Power!"

Shinomiya Yuuki: "I have two suggestions for you, Shichi-san. Would you like to hear them?"

Uchiha Itachi: "I'd like to hear the details, group leader."

"My first suggestion is to hold back for now. This requires you to have extremely strong control over the Uchiha clan, to be able to stabilize everyone, and to buy Konoha some breathing time. Wait for the new generation to grow up and be able to resist external invasion before making any changes. In the event of an external invasion, you will be able to lead the people to repel it, thereby enhancing your prestige and gradually moving towards the Hokage throne."

Uchiha Itachi pondered for a moment, and although he felt the plan was acceptable, its execution would be fraught with difficulties.

The Uchiha clan is currently like a barrel full of explosives. His newly awakened Mangekyou Sharingan might be able to temporarily suppress it, but that's far from enough. The hope of maintaining this until the next generation rises is slim.

"Group leader, this path is probably not feasible. My strength is not yet sufficient to suppress the Uchiha for long."

Shinomiya Yuuki: "It's alright, I have a second plan. You team up with Uchiha Shisui and directly eliminate Shimura Danzo."

Uchiha Itachi: "This..."

Yuuki Shinomiya's idea was so bold and unconventional that Itachi was taken aback on the spot.

Is this plan feasible? If Danzo is killed, Konoha will likely descend into chaos, and the Uchiha clan will likely go berserk, giving neighboring countries an opportunity to exploit the situation. No matter how you look at it, this plan seems highly improbable.

Shinomiya Yuuki: "Don't rush, I haven't finished explaining my plan yet. After you defeat Danzo, you'll get a lot of gold coins. Immediately go to the shop to spend them and strengthen your power. Use battle to sustain your battles."

"While dealing with resistance within your own village, you'll also repel invading ninja villages. This will cause turmoil throughout the entire ninja world, bringing in a flood of gold coins. These coins can then be used to further strengthen your ninja, creating a virtuous cycle. Once you're strong enough, you can conquer the world and reclaim your position. You won't just become Hokage; becoming the ruler of the ninja world will be within your grasp."

"How about it? Isn't my suggestion cool enough?"

Obito Uchiha: "This scene...it feels like I've seen it in a novel before."

Shinomiya Yuuki: "Don't change the subject, just tell me if it's okay or not."

Obito Uchiha: "It seems like it could actually work. It sounds quite interesting, teacher. What do you guys think, First Hokage?"

Namikaze Minato: "..."

Hashirama Senju: "..."

These young people these days are going way too far. Just hearing about such a crazy plan makes them feel incredibly uneasy.

Hashirama Senju: "Isn't this too radical? Countless people will lose their lives once the war begins."

Hashirama Senju's face showed a look of compassion and pity. With Konoha in chaos and other countries taking the opportunity to invade, just imagining that situation would result in many deaths.

Shinomiya Yuzuki: "First Hokage, you are too soft-hearted and unwilling to face war. But that's how the world is. As long as the greed in people's hearts is still boiling, conflict is hard to avoid. Unless a powerful figure emerges, someone strong enough to intimidate everyone, like you and Madara, and make them obey unconditionally, but Uchiha Itachi's side is lacking such a person."

"Therefore, we must manually cultivate a powerful individual capable of leading the ninja world."

"Furthermore, if the Uchiha clan does not resist, thousands of innocent lives will be at their mercy. If they do not protect themselves, they will be harmed."

"As for those ninja villages that took advantage of the chaos, they don't deserve any sympathy. They attacked when Konoha was weak. Tell me, what was their purpose? Wasn't it to tear a piece of flesh from this sick lion, whether it was land or resources? Every invader had ulterior motives. What can deal with such people except a sword?"

Ultimately, their demise was the consequence of their greed, and they had no one else to blame but themselves.

After a long silence, Hashirama Senju finally typed out a few words.

Hashirama Senju: "What you said makes sense."

Uchiha Itachi: "In the end, do we still have to resort to force to solve the problem...?"

Itachi Uchiha sighed softly. He hadn't intended to use force, but the unfolding events seemed to have left him with only this one path.

Is there really no other solution?

Shinomiya Yuuki: "Itachi, you're not thinking of eliminating hatred through understanding and communication between people again, are you?"

Itachi Uchiha: "I did have that idea, and Naruto proved it. After the Fourth Shinobi World War, the five great nations lived in harmony and prospered together, but behind that..."

Shinomiya Yuuki: "Actually, that's the achievement of Naruto and Sasuke. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, the power they displayed far exceeded the scope of ordinary ninjas, and both of them came from Konoha. So, what can the other four countries do besides make peace with Konoha?"

"In addition, Naruto's extraordinary personal charisma, which gave him friends in every country, created an unprecedented period of peace in the ninja world."

Itachi fell silent, carefully considering these words, and gradually realized that the truth might indeed be so.

Uchiha Itachi: "Group owner, I will seriously consider your opinion."

Shinomiya Yuuki: "That's right. Today's struggle is for tomorrow's peace. Under your leadership, the ninja world will enter a phase of forced peace. There may not be much change in the short term, but after hundreds or even thousands of years, the hatred will naturally be diluted by time."

"As for the issue of lifespan, you don't need to worry at all. With gold coins, achieving the Six Realms and pursuing immortality are not difficult problems at all."

Chapter 48 Truth Lies Only on the Edge of the Sword

After typing and sending this message, Shinomiya Yuuki fell into deep thought.

Deep down, didn't he also agree with the efficiency of force?

The desire, like Yahiko's, to eliminate barriers through understanding is too idealistic and too difficult to achieve in reality.

First and foremost, both parties need to possess a high level of self-cultivation to rationally let go of hatred, but in reality, not everyone is like that.

When encountering stubborn elements like Danzo, peaceful means will only lead to suffering.

Therefore, by comparison, direct force is sometimes more direct and effective, able to bring people, whether cultured or barbaric, to a sitting down and a proper conversation.

Of course, relying solely on force is not advisable; a combination of nine parts force and one part reason is necessary to gain people's convincing opinion.

His suggestion to Itachi Uchiha was precisely an attempt to explore different strategies.

Each timeline is independent; changes in one timeline will not affect the others.

Even if Itachi were to cause trouble there, it wouldn't affect anyone else.
