Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

"..."

"This is the gift?" Bai Yunqingye couldn't help but roll her eyes.

He had actually been hoping for the other party to pull out 100,000 taels of silver and slap it in his face.

"This is a kiss from your older sister, you little rascal, aren't you happy?"

Seeing Shirokumo Aoba's indifferent and disappointed expression, Yuhi Kurenai couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Baiyun Qingye really wants to say that this is illegal.

“I’m happy, but I would be even happier if it were a material gift.”

"Hmph, what a materialistic brat!" Kurenai Yuhi, annoyed at failing to tease the little boy, handed a book to Aoba Shirakumo.

"Here, take this. It's a manual on illusion magic left by my father. It's much more useful than the books in this library."

"Thank you!" Bai Yunqingye took the book, this time with a happy expression on her face.

Materialistic brat!

Kurenai muttered something to herself before continuing.

"I'll take Yakumo away first. I'll bring Yakumo here every day for the next few days. If Lady Tsunade agrees, I'll visit her parents together."

After saying that, Kurenai got up and walked outside.

Kurama Yakumo bowed again to Shirokumo Aoba to express his gratitude.

Then the two of them left the library hand in hand.

Seeing the two leave, Baiyun Qingye also put away the books.

I quickly ran towards the school gate.

"Aoba, why are you so slow?!"

"I just encountered a ghost in the library!"

"Huh?"

"Let me tell you slowly..."

-

"I'm home, Mom!"

Sasuke opened the door, said listlessly, and then sat down on the sofa, lost in thought.

"Welcome back. Dinner will be ready soon."

Wearing an apron, Uchiha Mikoto also came out of the kitchen.

Her gentle smile gave her a tender and graceful aura.

Seeing Sasuke's dejected appearance, a look of confusion appeared on his face.

Has something happened?

Mikoto Uchiha took off her apron, sat down next to Sasuke, and patted his head.

"Sasuke, are you in a bad mood today?"

"No," Sasuke answered instinctively.

"Did you suffer some injustice outside?" Uchiha Mikoto's voice became even gentler.

"No!" came the same answer again.

"Sasuke, the only places in the world where you can cry are the toilet and your parents' arms. You can cry to your mother about any grievances you have."

Mikoto Uchiha put her arm around Sasuke and rubbed her chin against his hair.

"I won't cry!" Sasuke couldn't stand Mikoto Uchiha anymore and told her everything.

After listening, Mikoto Uchiha blinked her beautiful eyes. "So Sasuke wants to know why Naruto is angry?"

"No, what does it matter to me whether that guy is angry or not? I didn't do anything wrong." Sasuke pouted unhappily.

Mikoto Uchiha nodded in agreement. "You're absolutely right to want a different opponent."

"But you and Naruto are friends. You shouldn't have said it in front of so many people when you were on the field. You should have talked to the teacher or Naruto about it privately first."

"Your behavior may not seem wrong to you, but it is very wrong to embarrass your friend in front of so many people."

Sasuke felt that Naruto's anger was definitely not due to this; that idiot would never feel ashamed about something like this.

However, his mother had a point. He felt that if he wanted to change opponents next time, it would be better to talk to Iruka-sensei alone.

To avoid that guy being as annoying as he was today.

"That guy is not my friend..."

"Pfft!"

Mikoto Uchiha couldn't help but laugh. "Tomorrow, Mom will prepare a gift for you. You can give it to Naruto, and maybe Naruto won't be angry anymore."

"I don't want to give that guy any gifts!"

"Then consider it a gift from Mom to Sasuke's friend, and prepare one for Aoba as well."

"..."

"……Thanks."

"The sound is too soft."

"..."

-

Konoha Police Department.

Fugaku Uchiha was still dealing with things.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and someone walked in.

"Itachi, is there something you need?" Fugaku Uchiha asked, somewhat puzzled, as Itachi rarely visited the police headquarters.

"Father, there's something I'd like to discuss with you." Itachi Uchiha's expression was somewhat cold.

Fugaku Uchiha was taken aback. "What is it?"

Uchiha Itachi fell silent and did not speak.

However, the Sharingan with three tomoe appeared in his eyes, eventually transforming into a kaleidoscope shaped like a kite.

Fugaku Uchiha's eyes widened. "Your eyes?"

Before he could finish speaking, he felt everything spinning around him, and in the blink of an eye, he found himself in a space with only black and white colors.

"This is... Tsukuyomi?"

As the head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku Uchiha naturally understood the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"This is the power I gained after Shisui's death," Itachi Uchiha explained. "There are some things that are easier to discuss here."

Fugaku Uchiha also recovered from his shock, looking at his eldest son with a complicated expression. "What do you want to talk about?"

"A man claiming to be Uchiha Madara has found me!"

"Who?!"

Fugaku Uchiha exclaimed in surprise, thinking he had misheard.

Itachi Uchiha continued, "He called himself Madara Uchiha, possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, and was the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails' rampage..."

"At the same time, he will also help me kill all the Uchiha clan members."

As Itachi Uchiha revealed one piece of information after another, Fugaku Uchiha's eyes widened more and more.

Especially when he heard the last sentence, the three tomoe in his eyes started spinning rapidly.

It seems as if they are about to form a line.

"Slaughter your entire clan...Are you insane?"

All the previous intelligence was less impactful than this blow to Fugaku Uchiha.

“If it were before, I would have chosen to bear this darkness for the sake of the village.” Itachi Uchiha’s expression became somewhat indifferent.

Fugaku Uchiha opened his mouth, but the sudden influx of information overwhelmed his brain, leaving him unable to process it all. In the end, he could only let out a long sigh.

"I thought you had changed, but it turns out you're still only on the village's side?"

"No, it is precisely because I am now standing from the perspective of the village and the family that I have found the second path."

"The second way?"

Itachi Uchiha's eyes became somewhat profound. "I will expose these eyes, and then, under the pretext of a coup, gather the hawks of the clan together and have Madara Uchiha kill them."

"Afterwards, the Third Hokage will take action to deal with Madara Uchiha. Father, I hope you can cooperate with the Third Hokage."

“Hiruzen Sarutobi is just using you. If all the hawks die, the Uchiha clan will only become fish on a chopping block, and the clan will still face only destruction.” Fugaku Uchiha’s expression also turned cold.

"After defeating Madara Uchiha, the Third Hokage will abdicate, and Lady Tsunade will take over!" Itachi Uchiha stated Konoha's conditions.

"At that time, you and the hawks will be hailed as heroes of Konoha, and all the Uchiha's bad reputation will be reversed!"

"Now that we've dealt with 'Uchiha Madara,' who can guarantee that Hiruzen Sarutobi will truly keep his promise?"

"I guarantee it with my own eyes!"

Looking into Itachi's blood-red eyes, Fugaku was shocked to hear him say such a thing.

a long time.

"Itachi, you have indeed changed..."

"Father, we will be plunged into darkness, but Mother and Sasuke will return to the light..."
