Konoha: Change from Uchiha

Sasuke had near-perfect grades in ninja school.

Ninjutsu, taijutsu, individual, teamwork and tactics are all impeccable. If the graduation system still existed a few days ago, then Sasuke would definitely be the best candidate to graduate early.

Sasuke calmly took the report card and returned to the window seat in the back row of the classroom.

He was not surprised at all about this result. Even if he were to take the Chunin Exam now, he would still be able to get a good result of No. 1.

From the beginning, his goal was not to be number one in the grade, but to fight against the top brass of Konoha, the number one ninja village.

It was no one else but Hinata who was huddled behind Naruto. The children of wealthy families always had the first mover advantage, and the same was true for the subsequent rankings. Except for Shikamaru who deliberately suppressed the score, they were all Ninjas. Members are at the forefront.

The only thing that surprised him was Naruto's ranking, and he frowned slightly.

Although Naruto was not at the bottom of his grade, he was still at the bottom. Judging from his understanding of Naruto's current situation, he should never have such a result. Someone must have tampered with it.

I just don’t know if it’s Mizuki from the next class.

He didn't have much interest in finding out. Naruto, who was carrying the identity of a demon fox, wanted to target too many people.

When get out of class was over, Naruto held his report card tightly and came to the teacher's office. The moment he entered the office, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere was immersed. Everyone's eyes were cold and their eyes were focused on Naruto. .

After looking at Naruto, Mizuki whispered to Iruka: "Teacher Iruka, your student is here."

After receiving Mizuki's reminder, Iruka calmed down and looked at Naruto, a student in his class, and the report card in his hand.

For a partial subject like Naruto, based on his teaching purpose, he still wants to correct it as much as possible.

But the identity of the other party's nine-tailed demon fox made him give up on this and chose to let it go.The reason is also very simple. His parents died during the Night of the Nine Tails. He would not hate a child, but he could only choose to keep away from him.

This is also what most people around him think, treating Naruto with indifference.

If he had a choice, he actually didn't want to be Naruto's class teacher, but he had no choice.

After pondering for a while, Iruka asked Naruto: "Naruto-san, is there something wrong with the transcript?"

Naruto raised his head and nodded immediately, "Teacher Iruka, my grade in the practical class shouldn't be so low. Maybe your marking was wrong."

Iruka took the report card, frowned and said, "This result is correct."

"In the actual combat class, I was supposed to go out in order, but I was always assigned to fight against the strongest Sasuke, so I always failed. Moreover, everyone else changed their opponents, but my opponent was always Sasuke. This is not true. fair."

"There is no chance to choose the enemy during the mission..."

Iruka casually gave a reason, and then said: "I will pay attention to it when arranging the assessment next time. Let this be the result this time. No one has time to take another assessment with you."

Iruka waved his hand, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"I understand, Iruka-sensei."

After saying this, Naruto walked out of the office under the gaze of the teachers, and there was a burst of discussion behind him.Although Naruto didn't hear clearly, he understood that they were talking about him.

The teachers at the Ninja School who teach the will of fire are no different from the indifferent adults on the street.

At this moment, through the window in the corridor, Naruto saw the third generation grandfather wearing a Hokage hat walking into the teacher's office, seeming to be discussing something with the teachers.

In the last class of the afternoon, Naruto received an invitation to retest, which was personally tested by Mr. Iruka.

Naruto passed the test easily, and the score on the report card was also corrected, getting an excellent evaluation. However, Naruto was not happy about it, but felt even more disappointed, but he chose to hide it in his heart now.

The score has improved a lot, and it has reached a level close to Sasuke's, but that is not his real score.

Because of the identity of the demon fox, the teachers were indifferent to him and would not correct him if there were problems. The appearance of the third-generation grandfather made them deliberately give him high marks.

The Will of Fire clearly mentioned that everyone is a companion and should help each other, but the reality is completely opposite.

All he pursues is fairness, but they can't even achieve this.

Of course, even though he was a little dissatisfied with the behavior of the school teachers, he would not give up on himself because of it. Although the teachers' behavior was annoying, the ninja knowledge they taught was genuine.

He does not dislike the village's will of fire, but practicing the will of fire requires strength as support.

These were the words Sasuke said in his ear after defeating him, and he thought they made sense.

After school, the three of them walked together again.

Naruto's eyes were always on Sasuke's back. Sasuke glanced back at Naruto as if he was aware of it, and showed his signature smile, "Didn't your grades be corrected? Why are you unhappy?"

"That's not my grade. My grades in cultural classes have never been good, and I can't get an excellent evaluation."

Sasuke had long noticed the changes in Naruto and said calmly: "The results of the ninja school actually don't mean anything. Many people in the village are genin, but they have strength comparable to that of a jonin."

"Are you talking about your brother Itachi?" Naruto asked.

"No, I'm actually talking about you..." Sasuke said pointedly. In his memory, both he and Naruto had reached the jounin level, but they were still just genin. It was considered a secret that only he knew. joke.

While talking, several people came to the open space in the back mountain, where they usually train.

In the past, it was just about physical exercise. After being exposed to the ninja school, there were more items on tactics and teamwork. However, because there were always ANBU around Naruto, Sasuke couldn't let go.

After being stimulated by natural energy, Sasuke's Sharingan reached the second magatama stage. Even if the Sharingan is not turned on, his perception ability has improved to a certain extent and he can confirm the location of the ANBU's hiding place.

Although the ANBU is an elite unit belonging to the Hokage, the ordinary team members are also composed of chuunin and special superiors.

As long as conditions permit, he can even defeat the ANBU team he follows, but the ANBU never relies solely on strength, but on the power given by the Hokage, and even has the power to take away ninjas without interrogation.

After another exchange of fists and kicks, Naruto received a punch in the face. After staggering a few steps, he fell to the ground.

Naruto got up and patted the dust on his body and said to Sasuke: "Let's continue."

Sasuke did not take action, but stopped and looked at Naruto. He could confirm that the strength he exerted had not changed. The only possibility was that Naruto was upset, not training, but venting.

"In your current situation, it's better not to continue training."

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head. Sasuke was right, he was in a bad mood now. Even though he comforted himself in his heart, the shadow of differential treatment by the teachers still hung over his heart.

It's not that he doesn't understand everyone's fear of the demon fox, but he hates the behavior of being inconsistent and talking about the will of fire.

"Let's go see the scenery."

Sasuke gave the suggestion, but the latter just nodded and did not respond.

Walking in front, Sasuke didn't know how to comfort Naruto. Naruto always gave him the impression of being lively and optimistic. Even if he encountered cold violence from the villagers, he still attracted attention with pranks and always had a positive attitude. .

But now Naruto seems to have experienced the genocide in his memory, and he has doubts about the world.

In his impression, Iruka was one of the few teachers who cared about Naruto, and Naruto always mentioned in front of him the experience of Iruka treating him to ramen, but now Iruka could not be called caring about Naruto, or even It can be said to be a snub.

Iruka didn't care about Naruto from the beginning. It seemed that he changed because of a certain incident.

However, his intervention caused Naruto to lose Iruka's care, and he replaced Iruka's position among Naruto.

After thinking of this, Sasuke couldn't help but laugh. The problem actually appeared on him. What he said to Naruto inadvertently had such a big impact on Naruto.

Unknowingly, the two of them arrived at the top of Shadow Rock, standing above the heads of past Hokages.

This is one of the areas with the best views in the village. Standing here, you can take in the scenery of the entire village. Perhaps countless senior ninjas have expressed their thoughts and dreams for the future here.

The reason why Sasuke chose this place was not that lofty. It was simply because the view here was excellent. On the unobstructed cliff, those ANBU who secretly performed their missions needed to be far away to conduct surveillance.

Although there are surveillance cameras all over the Uchiha clan, there are still blind spots, and there are ways to avoid surveillance.

But as a Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, Naruto has probably lived a life of being monitored since birth because he didn't notice it, otherwise just thinking about it would make him feel uncomfortable all over.

Maybe it was because the Anbu were far away, maybe because of the strong wind on the cliff and the scenery below, Naruto was in a much better mood.

Sitting down on the cliff, Naruto suddenly looked at Sasuke and wondered: "Sasuke, do you think the will of fire described by the third generation grandpa really exists? What the adults do is obviously the opposite of the will of fire, but they still In pursuit of the will to be on fire.”

Naruto asked the question that had puzzled him for months, hoping that Sasuke could answer it.

Sasuke fell into a brief silence, with countless thoughts in his heart, and finally said something in a faint tone, "Because there is no better choice, the will of fire is the best concept in the ninja world at present."

This is also what Sasuke is saying. He has read many books and knows what the ninja world is like.

Compared with Kirigakure Village's blood mist policy and the Hyuga family's disguised slavery, the Will of Fire is much better. Although it has no action plan and no guidelines on how to implement it, it is just a simple slogan.

"Is Will of Fire a choice without a choice? Isn't there a better choice?"

Naruto asked, half understanding.

"Not yet." Actually, there is... Sasuke added in his mind, but he still shook his head and did not say it out loud.

The Will of Fire is the political correctness in the village. Even the Uchiha clan believes in the Will of Fire. At this time, whoever jumps out to oppose the Will of Fire is opposing the entire Hidden Leaf Village. After all, the Will of Fire is what exists in Ninja Village. foundation.

However, the specific interpretation of the Will of Fire has left a considerable gap in the history of Hokage, and this right of interpretation cannot be let go.

An hour later, Sasuke and Naruto left the Shadow Rock area. The content of their chat was actually not that much, but more of admiring the scenery of the village at dusk.

After agreeing on a place to meet tomorrow, Sasuke and Naruto separated on the street.

Naruto returned to his den where he lived alone, while Sasuke walked towards the tribe's territory, feeling a little more emotional in his heart.

Naruto's change in mentality undoubtedly proves that because of him, the future has changed again. Every time a change occurs, it will deviate a little from the fate of annihilation until the clan survives.

Not long after he entered the clan, Sasuke saw a dark shadow flashing past the blind corner of the surveillance camera, and his face became a little solemn.

There are not many ninjas in the family who can detect blind spots in surveillance and take advantage of them. On weekdays, the jounin of the family don't bother to hide their whereabouts. They just stare at the monitor openly, as if they are confronting the ninja behind the monitor.

So who could be the figure passing by in the clan?

After returning home, Sasuke quickly got the answer. Fugaku was staying in the living room without saying a word, his face not looking good.

Before Sasuke could ask, Fugaku took the lead and said: "Shisui just came here and said that he wanted me to propose Itachi to join the ANBU at the clan meeting, but I haven't given a specific answer yet. I want to hear your opinion."

"Itachi wants to join ANBU, will the three generations and one family agree?" Ignoring the last sentence, Sasuke asked.

"I can apply to the higher-ups. Shisui's lineage also has some connections with the higher-ups. There is still a chance that Itachi will succeed in joining ANBU."

Fugaku explained.

Shisui, whose grandfather is a high-level friend, is different from ordinary Uchihas.Apart from him, he is one of the few Uchiha who can directly talk to senior officials.

"It seems that father has made a decision..."

"Itachi joins ANBU and can bring ANBU intelligence to the clan. We can also know in advance what the higher-ups will do in the future, but..."

Before Fugaku finished speaking, Sasuke added: "But Itachi may also become a high-level spy against Uchiha."

"Yes, if the higher-ups provide false information to Itachi, we will fall into a passive situation." Fugaku said with concern. Although Itachi is a genius that makes him proud, he will inevitably be deceived by the higher-ups.

And if a genius like Itachi doesn't stay in the security force, but goes to the dangerous Anbu.

Maybe some jealous ninjas were secretly persecuting him and setting up a plot to kill Uchiha Itachi.
