Naruto's Exam

In a distant fantasy world, deep in the mysterious forest of the continent of Lemuria, Sasuke angrily confided to Itachi that he had known all the secrets. He was filled with endless hatred for the Elwin Village hidden in the forest, and vowed to take revenge on the Elwin Village and completely destroy the village hidden in the forest.

Uchiha Itachi knew that communication with his brother had become extremely difficult. Sasuke was like a magic scroll that had not yet been painted with color. He was easily controlled by external forces and could not clearly identify his true will.

"Sasuke," Itachi said without stopping his running steps, "I remember saying when we were fighting, each of us is struggling in the cocoon of our own beliefs..."

"The stronger your belief, the harder it is to recognize the truth. What you see—"

"What I see is real!" Sasuke suddenly interrupted Itachi's words and roared at him: "Because I am using the eyes you gave me! - Sharingan!"

The companions watching the battle were shocked. Sakura's eyes widened: "Sasuke-kun...he actually transplanted his brother's eyes?!"

Sasuke covered his right eye, but the light from his left eye and between his fingers showed the power of the Sharingan with three magatama. Naruto, with his unique emotional perception ability, deeply felt the great pain that Sasuke was enduring in the image, even though all this happened in an illusion in the past.

Not only Sasuke, Naruto can also sense a tragic sadness from the sharp scream of the 17-year-old Sasuke. Itachi, the brother that Sasuke admired so much, wove a huge scam to protect the peace of Elwin Village and the entire continent...

That Sasuke was already carrying a heavy fate alone.

"Why?! Why am I the only one who survived?!" Sasuke followed closely and asked Itachi the most painful question in his heart: "Why don't you end it with me! Uchiha Itachi!"

In the video, a mysterious masked man responded to Sasuke in a seductive voice: "If you want to know the reason, it's that he couldn't bear to take your life. This is the answer."

"The man who massacred the entire family only spared you."

"Because you are his most cherished brother."

Everyone watching the movie exclaimed: "That masked man turned out to be——!"

-

Sasuke asked painfully: "Why is this happening? Why am I the only one left alone?!"

Uchiha Itachi's answer surprised Sasuke: "Because... I need someone from the Uchiha family to judge me." He believed that only death could redeem him from the crime of genocide. "But I used you, led you to darkness and depravity, and used the darkness in your heart to judge myself..." Itachi's voice was full of sadness: "I originally hoped to pave a straight and bright road for you without detours, but I never thought that I would lead you away from the village and drift away."

Sasuke clenched his fists while watching the movie. He felt bitter in his heart as he listened to his brother's words.

Itachi recalled the scene when he met Naruto: "When I was dying, I tried to use the power of the 'True God' to guide your destiny again...but-"

"However?"

Itachi smiled with relief, which showed the joy of meeting an innocent boy like Naruto in the cruel ninja world. He told Sasuke: "It's not just the signs that guide you forward."

Sasuke in the video was confused and didn't understand the meaning of Uchiha Itachi's words at all. But Sasuke watching the movie understood the crucial guidance his brother left for him.

"Hmph! Don't get too carried away, you piece of shit."

"Why, you're not convinced, little Sasuke?!"

Iruka and Kakashi each held one of them to prevent the two from arguing.

"Naruto, please stop provoking Sasuke."

"Sasuke, can't you just sit quietly and look at this important information with Naruto?"

“Hmph!” “Hmph!!”

The two of them snorted at the same time and turned their heads away, unwilling to pay attention to each other.

According to the description in the video, what follows is the crucial moment where Itachi tries to lift the large-scale undead summoning technique.

At this time, Naruto suddenly said: "Sasuke's brother, when considering the future of Sasuke and the entire continent, reminded me of Gaara's father. So, if I have the opportunity to meet that Itachi, I must punch him hard like I did to Gaara's father!"

The crow that landed on Sasuke's shoulder seemed a little melancholy, while the crow that perched on Naruto's shoulder pecked him, as if reminding him to focus on the image in front of him and say less irrelevant words.

In the video, a hooded man with a gloomy aura like Orochimaru is playing chess alone in a dark cave...

A deep voice sounded: "Are you here so soon? Uchiha Itachi, and Uchiha Sasuke."

Sasuke exclaimed in surprise: "Orochimaru? No, you are... Kabuto Yakushi?!"

Everyone watching this scene in the Konoha village was stunned.

"Kabuto Yakushi?!"

It was Senior Kabuto whom they had just met for the first time at the first match of the Chunin Exam a few days ago? !

Naruto said in astonishment: "Are you kidding? That Kabuto-senpai is a ninja from our Konoha! ~v!"

In a mysterious world called "Illusion Forest", the ninja who knew the whereabouts of Kabuto Yakushi gently brushed away the dust from the strange crystal glasses on his nose and asked: "Could it be that you also abandoned our tree village like that Uchiha?"

Naruto looked displeased and glared at the guy wearing the "crystal glasses". Although he had not yet reached the level of challenging a high-level ninja or wizard, he still cast his own original spell without hesitation:

"Oirokone no Jyutsu!!!!"

Accompanied by a loud bang, a "hmm~" sound was heard.

When the smoke cleared, a gorgeous fairy with long golden hair appeared in front of "Crystal Glasses". Her powerful aura almost made the opponent bleed to death on the spot!

"Hahahahaha! Idiot!!"

Naruto laughed wildly and mocked the "Crystal Glasses" who slandered Sasuke.

Ebisu realized that he had lost face in front of his ancestors, so he no longer had any thought of teaching Naruto or commenting on the Uchiha. He snorted coldly and disappeared on the spot.

After witnessing Naruto's original spell, the leader of the second generation phantom village was shocked. Not because his reaction was similar to that of the third generation Hokage or the traveler from another world, Jiraiya, but as a strict and self-reflective leader, he never expected that a teenager could create such a strange spell, and this person was only 12 years old!

What kind of changes has education in Phantom Village undergone in the years since he passed away?

Nearby, Ebisu was safe and sound, but another person was covered in blood.

That is the disciple of the Third Hokage, the mentor of the Fourth Hokage, and one of the three giants——

Jiraiya! !

"Ohhhh!! Boy, you have an amazing talent!" Jiraiya quickly pulled out a magic tissue from his sleeve to plug his nose, gave Naruto a thumbs up and praised, "What kind of spell is this? Very good!"

The second Hokage's face was filled with black lines, and he decisively stepped back a few steps away from the Monkey King's disciple. Orochimaru was already having enough headaches, and what would he do with another lawless guy like this? What happened to the Monkey King? ! Wasn't his third disciple going to ascend to become a god? !

In this breathtaking scene, the invisible guardian who no one noticed, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, stood between his son and his teacher: "Teacher Jiraiya, please don't do this again! If Kushina knows about this, the consequences will be disastrous!"

However, no matter how he struggled to block it, the people around him could not see him...

Feeling the uncle's recognition of his abilities, Naruto realized that his attitude was completely different from that of other people in Konoha. Even though it was a little difficult to explain, he still explained:

Slightly embarrassed and shy, Naruto avoided his gaze and whispered, "This is a spell I created. In addition to Oirokone no Jyutsu, there is also an advanced version..."

"Eh?!!! Advanced version?!" Jiraiya's eyes lit up instantly: "Show it to me! I can give you some advice!"

"Teacher Jiraiya!" Even the approachable Minato Namikaze couldn't remain silent at this moment, "Naruto is just a child!"

"Yoshi! Haremeno——"

"Stupid Naruto!!"

"Stupid Naruto!!!"

Following two shouts, Naruto was attacked on both sides at the same time. On the left was his teammate, Haruno Sakura, and on the right was the intermediate instructor, Umino Iruka, who was covered in blood.

Naruto held his head and cried out in pain.

The one who was in as much pain as him and couldn't speak was Jiraiya...

Uzumaki Mito waved his fist and smiled, "Little Jiraiya, what do you want from my Uzumaki descendant?~"

Faced with an attack with the same strength as Tsunade's, Jiraiya could only lie on the ground and tremble, unable to respond.

Meanwhile, the completely ignored Fourth Hokage crouched on the ground and whispered to himself, "I'm sorry, Kushina, I'm no longer a good father to Naruto."

Naruto's stupid behavior eased the tense atmosphere, and Sasuke's accumulated negative emotions instantly dissipated. He glanced at Naruto, curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "Idiot, you're the last one."

The Second Hokage shook his head helplessly: "Can't you just be more obedient?! The times have changed so much, how can you still be a ninja?!"

The second Hokage's complaints made everyone focus again on the image in front of them -

[In the video, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke have begun to fight against Orochi Kabuto. ]

[Itachi: "Sasuke, do you remember when we were little and we hunted together? Use that move."]

Later, under Itachi's guidance, the brothers showed the entire ninja world the Uchiha brothers' unique hunting method.

[Young Sasuke used a deft bow and arrow, while Itachi used a kunai with a spell.]

[Many years have passed, and despite many grievances and separations, the tacit understanding between the two brothers has never changed. ]

[They are now the same as they were back then, except that their bows and arrows have been replaced with Kagutsuchi-no-Mikoto, who can control fire, and their spell kunai have been replaced with the protective artifact Yata Mirror.]

"Are you kidding me? You're telling us this is hunting?!"

The audience of Ninja World sighed, who would use the power of Susanoo for hunting? !

Can you give ordinary weapons some dignity? !

The power of Susanoo is actually used to generate arrows and kunai?! The Uchiha brothers really know how to play?!

[Along with the simultaneous playback of the images, there are also fragments of memories of the two brothers. This sharp contrast and difference amazes the entire ninja world! ]

[In the past, little Sasuke couldn't even shoot a giant pig, but now he can accurately hit the vital point of a snake with a flaming arrow. ]

In a distant fantasy world, Uchiha Itachi, who was transformed into a dead soul reborn from the impure world, easily penetrated the sharp blade that stabbed him with his special immortal body and the mysterious illusion of the Mangekyō Sharingan, and took this opportunity to cut off the horn of the "evil dragon" controlled by Kabuto Orochi in one fell swoop.

Sasuke's eyes widened in shock.

The black crow next to Naruto also made the same surprised cry.

The Second Generation Ghost Hokage warned: "Young man, you must understand that Impure World Reincarnation is a forbidden magic. Only by resealing it can its actions be completely stopped. These Impure World bodies are the resurrection of the dead, and any injuries they suffer can be healed quickly."

He went on to say, "Now that Kabuto has acquired a spirit body, he will definitely not be so easily manipulated. Your brother Itachi must have secretly laid out a more far-reaching tactical chess game at this moment."

For them, Uchiha Itachi's battles were just the tip of the iceberg, just like the two novice adventurers Naruto and Sasuke. However, for a legendary Kage-level hero like Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Itachi's truly awe-inspiring nature lies in his cold rationality and well-thought-out strategic layout. He never made redundant moves, and behind every seemingly redundant move, he actually hid an accurate prediction of the offensive ten, fifty, or even a hundred steps away in the future.

However, the Second Hokage did not have a deep understanding of Kabuto. During the Fourth Ninja World War, this man suddenly appeared and used strange magic to revive Uchiha Sasuke, who had been killed by Madara. According to him, it was to repay Uchiha Itachi's past kindness?

[Orochi Kabuto once said that he was orphaned in the war-torn era, and was adopted by the ninjas of Konoha Village and trained to be an elite spy. He lurked between villages, sometimes as a Konoha ninja, sometimes as an Iwagakure ninja, and sometimes disguised as a member of the Kirigakure.]

[“I played countless hypocritical roles and deceived others with all kinds of lies. Over time, I even forgot where my true self was... No, now I can’t even remember who I am.”]

After hearing what Dou said, everyone fell silent.

[Kabuto continued to talk, he thought he was no different from Itachi, both lost their own identity, became a spy with multiple faces, were abandoned by the village, and left only shame and slander.]

Kabuto is good at manipulating people's hearts with words, and he is a first-class psychological fraud. However, Uchiha Itachi always sticks to his own beliefs:

[“No matter how dark and conflicted the Konoha Village is, I, Uchiha Itachi, will always be a part of Konoha.”]

Itachi's voice was as calm as ever, with almost no emotion. But from the video records that have been passed down, people have long known how difficult his experience was.

"Until now, he still insists that he is 'Uchiha Itachi of Konoha'?" someone sighed.

"He is indeed a terrible character," echoed another.

"Has he transcended the traditional concept of one village and one clan?" Tsuchikage Ohnoki pondered and said, "Danzo has inadvertently eliminated a great enemy of our time."

"What do you mean?" someone asked.

Ohnoki explained: "If there is no darkness within the ninja village, Uchiha Itachi may be able to become Hokage one day. Even if he has both thoughts and strength, the Uchiha Itachi in the image has passed away, and now he is alive, he may never be able to go back to the past."

"How can a man who wiped out his clan and killed his parents become Hokage? Even if he really takes that position, who can truly believe in him? The pressure of public opinion alone is enough to drive him into a desperate situation, not to mention the guilt deep in his heart."

"It seems that the self-forgetfulness that the guy named Kabuto talked about is actually the same thing that Itachi is experiencing to some extent. He completed missions one after another under a false identity in order to avoid his past sins."

Huang Tu suddenly realized: "So, once the mission is over, he will no longer allow himself to live in this world..."

"So I say that Danzo accidentally helped us solve the powerful enemy of that era." Tsuchikage sighed, "It's a pity for Konoha."

Although this was not good news for them, the Tsuchikage nodded and decided to wait until they arrived in Konoha and held the Five Kage Council before making a decision.

[Kabuto Orochi, who possesses a fairy body, devoured the power of Orochimaru and the four cursed sound ninjas he trained. No matter physical skills, ninjutsu or illusions, they have little effect on him. ]

Sasuke looked at Itachi and asked anxiously, "What should we do now? How should we deal with him?"

Itachi responded: "He has not yet seen the true power of the Uchiha clan. Our clan has a kind of eye technique that can be performed without sight. Even the current Kabuto cannot escape the influence of this technique."

Hearing this, everyone in the ninja world was speechless.

"Heh, how many so-called 'real powers' do you have?" Everyone laughed bitterly, "Are we not qualified, or are you too powerful? This is too depressing, isn't it?!"

In the Zhongyang Tower, people looked at Uchiha Sasuke in the video, and then compared him to the young Uchiha member in front of them. They couldn't help but feel that calling them "geniuses" was a bit unfair to them.
