Naruto's Exam

Chapter 6: Fuma Shuriken

In the mysterious ninja world, Konoha's guardian beast Naruto was deeply touched by a word, which made him feel indescribable pain.

As ninjas of Konoha Village, Sakura and Sasuke have not experienced the baptism of war and still deeply trust their homeland. They can't believe that the ninjas of Konoha would actually attack the Morikawa clan, who are not their enemies.

Sakura asked in astonishment: "How is it possible? The ninja oath clearly states that ninjas must not harm innocent civilians..."

Morikawa's tone was full of resentment: "Perhaps you are referring to the civilians of Konoha?"

Sakura was speechless for a moment and could only turn her head away awkwardly with Sasuke.

Kakashi looked at the students and spoke solemnly about the war years: "In those days of war, every day we faced the death of our comrades and the possibility of sacrifice at any time. A moment of hesitation could lead to the death of an important partner, but it could also lead to the accidental killing of innocent lives... This is the cruelty of war."

Sakura and Sasuke fell silent after hearing this.

At this time, a black-feathered crow perched in the dark corner of the room was looking at his brother whom he had not seen for a long time, and was pleased to see him grow up step by step.

Kakashi turned to Morikawa and said, "If it was a child, I believe that the ninjas of Konoha would still..."

However, before Kakashi could finish his words, a strange scene appeared in front of everyone without warning!

"What's going on?! Why did the image appear when the 'Forbidden Questions' was not triggered?!"

"Could it be that we have accidentally violated some laws?"

"Maybe he just wants us to watch?"

[The facts revealed in the picture confirm Morikawa's statement that her husband and herself did die at the hands of Konoha ninjas in the beginning.]

The various ninja villages discussed:

"It's the Hidden Leaf Village's fault again!"

"It seems that the deceased was wearing the clothes of the people of the Rain Country."

"If a ninja kills a civilian... is it considered manslaughter?"

……

At the Konoha Ninja Headquarters, the Third Hokage stared at the scene on the screen. Iruka, who was standing next to him, noticed his abnormality and said, "Sandaime-sama, what's wrong?"

The Hokage replied, "If I remember correctly, the report mentioned that the two of them died in a house in the Rain Country."

They are all dead, what about Morikawa's son? Is he still alive?

[In the picture, two Konoha ninjas found the little red-haired boy hiding nearby. The boy was so frightened that he was speechless, curled up in a ball, and trembled.]

[A Konoha ninja exclaimed and knelt down in front of Fuso's husband's body, regretting: "How could this happen?! They are not ninjas at all!"]

Another Konoha ninja who participated in the operation also asked in panic: "What should we do now? Why did this happen?!" His voice was full of regret and self-blame: "We got confused with the enemy, damn it!"]

The curled up red-haired boy witnessed all the tragedy with his own eyes, his whole body shaking violently.

The moment he caught a glimpse of the Konoha ninja turning around, the iconic leaf pattern was deeply imprinted in his mind - that was the leaf on the Konoha forehead protector...

Outside, heavy rain was pouring down outside the Hidden Rain Village, and a flash of lightning streaked across the night sky, making the entire night seem even more eerie and terrifying.

[A Konoha ninja turned to Morikawa's son and bowed deeply to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, kid..." Even so, he knew that no amount of apologies could make up for this cruel fact.]

At that moment, a feeling of powerlessness filled his whole body, and the joy brought by not eating for several days disappeared in an instant, as if the rain from the Rain Country had invaded his blood, chilling him from the soles of his feet to the tip of his heart.

Inside the Konoha Ninja Headquarters, people were outraged:

"How could this happen!?"

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"If it weren't for the war..."

"Don't make excuses for yourself! If you're wrong, you're wrong!"

In other ninja villages, people were discussing:

"Alas... when the five great nations were at war, the Rain Country became a battlefield. It's no surprise that the common people there hated ninjas."

"But those civilians are so innocent!"

"Humph! The civilians are innocent, so is the death of the ninja a matter of course?!"

This sentence pierced the hearts of many people like a sharp arrow. Who wants to die? Who doesn't have relatives, friends, wives, children and elders?

"What a damn war!"

But who exactly ignited the fuse of this war?

In Akatsuki's secret base, Konan looked worriedly at the young but emaciated man - Nagato.

Nagato did not speak in response, but simply stared at his parents lying in a pool of blood on the screen.

Those were his closest parents.

……

In this mysterious otherworld, how could a child be comforted by an apology that had no magic power? Could an apology bring his parents back to life? Could an apology heal the deep wounds of the Rain Kingdom? !

He gasped heavily, and the grief deep in his heart erupted violently in his body like a demon!

The young chest could no longer bear such anger, and after several violent heartbeats, the endless rage finally erupted like a raging flame!

The boy hid himself behind his thick magical long bangs, and his strange eyes and the powerful power they contained were released at this moment!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The end of the video, as if echoing its beginning, is still filled with the endless sadness of the rain kingdom.

In each magical village,

"Those eyes!"

"Aren't they the eyes of the orange-haired man who appeared during the attack on Green Leaf City?!"

"So he came here to take revenge on Green Leaf City?!"

"Is it the power of these eyes that destroyed the entire Hidden Green Leaf Village in an instant? It's really shocking!"

"Reincarnation Eye!"

"It is recorded in ancient books that these are the eyes possessed by the legendary Sage of the Six Paths!"

"Such a powerful pupil technique actually appeared in the eyes of a red-haired child!"

"The intelligence department should investigate this matter!"

At this moment, after working overtime, the magicians of the Intelligence Department reported to the leaders of their respective villages:

"The intelligence department has found out that the orange-haired man who attacked Green Leaf City in the previous video is the leader of a secret organization called 'Dark Night Messenger' in the Rain Country! They openly recruit S-level defected magicians from various villages, and undertake missions in the dark market, traveling between multiple countries."

The leaders of the villages sneered: "Humph, Green Leaf City has run into a tough opponent, but no matter what, a war with the world as the battlefield is always bad. We have arranged the affairs within the village, and we will set off immediately-"

"Meeting of the Five Great Magic Lords!"

"Yes!"

…………

Green Leaf Hidden Village, Training Ground No. 44, Central Tower——

"That, that's..."

"It's the eyes that destroyed Green Leaf City!" Uchiha Sasuke, a member of the Eye Technique Family, said in surprise.

Itachi Crow: "..." To be honest, he was also shocked. Could it be that Pein's eyes did not belong to him? !

From the forehead protectors worn by Pain and Konan, it can be seen that they are defected ninjas from the Rain Kingdom.

This young man from the Uzumaki tribe was also born in the Land of Rain, so what secrets are hidden in Pain?

Senju Tobirama: "..." The Uzumaki clan has never heard of anyone being able to open the Samsara Eye. What on earth did that guy Madara do? !

Furthermore, the man whose voice in the previous video sounded similar to his own was not from the Uzumaki clan, and the Rinnegan was not a power that ordinary people could possess.

So, what exactly happened here?!

How did that young boy from the Uzumaki tribe become the leader of the "Night Messenger"? !

The Land of Rain...

It seems that it is really necessary to go there!

However, first things first—

The Second Hokage turned to Fuso and asked, "Did you know that your son had eyes like that?"

Fuso: "I know, that's why I always let him grow his bangs long."

"Then do you know when he was implanted with the 'Rinnegan'?"

Fuso: “?!” Implanted?!

The others present were also stunned by Senju Tobirama's question: "Second Hokage, what do you mean?"

Uzumaki Mito snorted coldly: "We in the Uzumaki clan have never said anything about opening the Samsara Eye, is that right, Tobirama?"

Senju Tobirama nodded: "The Samsara Eye is a type of the Six Paths Sage's Eye Technique." He paused, his eyes swept over Uchiha Sasuke, and then inadvertently glanced at the crow next to him, "The Samsara Eye is actually the eye technique that the Sharingan evolves after meeting certain specific conditions. It surpasses the Mangekyō Sharingan and the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan."

Sasuke: "!!!"

Itachi: "..."

Other people present: “!!”

Thinking back to the previous video footage, the masked man has the Sharingan, Danzo also has the Sharingan, and now the apparent leader of the "Night Messenger" has also evolved through the Sharingan? !

"The Second Hokage!" Sasuke asked excitedly, "How much do you know about the conditions for opening the Samsara Eye?!"

Kakashi: “…” He also felt that this second-generation Hokage seemed to have many unsolved mysteries.

When the resurrected were chosen, the edges of the photos of the first and second generation Hokage were gold, so why is this one's photo red, which is even rarer? !

More importantly, who is the man with silver hair, white skin and scars on his face behind Lin's photo? !

Senju Tobirama folded his arms across his chest and sighed silently in his heart.

He really didn't know how to mention this matter in front of Mito: Madara once bit off a piece of his eldest brother's flesh, and then a face that looked exactly like his eldest brother grew on his chest.

This...what on earth is going on...

"Let's not talk about this for now," the Second Hokage forced to change the subject: "Before opening the Samsara Eye, there is another stage of the Sharingan, which is the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan."

"Eternal... Mangekyō Sharingan?!" Sasuke's face was filled with shock. The shock he had suffered in the past few days was far greater than before.

Itachi: "..." He felt that ominous premonition again...

In a distant fantasy world, Tobirama Senju, the second generation Great Sage of Fire, slowly spoke: "In short, as one of the inheritors of the bloodline of the second son of the Six Paths Sage, the Uchiha clan inherited the Rinnegan known as the 'Sage's Eye'."

The second son of the Six Paths Sage? This is truly shocking news!

Uchiha Obito waited silently in the void, expecting the other party to reveal more secrets...

"It is widely rumored that the Senju clan represents the power of love, but in fact, the love of the Uchiha clan is deeper and more persistent." Tobirama continued, "The deeper the love, the more intense the hatred after the loss. It is this power of love and hate that gave birth to and promoted the awakening and advancement of the Samsara Eye..."

"When a member of the Uchiha clan loses a loved one or falls into deep despair and pain, an extremely rare soul chakra is generated deep in their brain."

"This soul chakra will connect the brain nerves and eye nerves, thereby triggering the evolution of the Samsara Eye. However..."

Sasuke couldn't help but ask: "However?"

Senju Tobirama paused for a moment, then revealed his research results:

"As mentioned before, this kind of soul chakra will strongly stimulate the brain and visual nerves of the Uchiha clan. The impact on vision is particularly significant, especially after opening the Rinnegan above the Mangekyō level, it will put a huge burden on the user's body and eyeballs..." Tobirama glanced at Itachi in the form of a crow beside him and revealed the truth to Sasuke: "Your brother, Uchiha Itachi, if he activates the Mangekyō Rinnegan for a long time, not to mention that his vision may have dropped to the state of unopened eyes, and his physical health is also getting worse and worse."

Sasuke felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he almost glared at his Rinnegan: "Then brother...why did he want me to hate him?! What is his real intention?!"

"All this is to protect our hometown - the heart of the forest. He even resorted to such means against me, his own brother..." Itachi was silent for a moment and apologized secretly: "Sasuke, I'm sorry, please forgive me."

"That's exactly what I want to tell you. His goal..." Senju Tobirama: "I think his goal should be to let you obtain the Eternal Mangekyō Samsara Eye."

Sasuke was dumbfounded: "?!!!"

"..."

……

——Sasuke demanded angrily: "Speak clearly! Itachi, what does my brother mean by letting me obtain the Eternal Mangekyō Samsara Eye?!"

"Eternal Mangekyō Samsara Eye..."

When mentioning this, Senju Tobirama couldn't help but think of his old enemy, the second leader of the Uchiha clan -

Uchiha Izuna!

"It has been mentioned before that continuous use of the Mangekyō Rinnegan will cause great damage to the eyeball nerves. Even someone as powerful as Uchiha Madara will suffer from a gradual decline in vision during the long and fierce battle with his brother."

Sasuke urged anxiously: "And then?!"

"His younger brother, Uchiha Izuna, gave his eye power to Madara."

Sasuke did not ask what changes would happen to Madara after he obtained another person's eye power. He was more concerned about the consequences for the person who donated the eye power.

The second generation Great Sage of Fire, Senju Tobirama, said solemnly: "He has passed away."

"In the ancient war years, the Senju and Uchiha were enemies. Both Madara's brother and my brother died at the hands of the other side." He continued: "At the beginning, I severely injured Uchiha Izuna in the battle, but he took the opportunity to ask to give his pupil power to Madara... After Izuna passed away, Madara was in great pain because of the loss of his last relative. In addition, due to many reasons such as long-term use of the Mangekyō Samsara Eye, his personality became more and more paranoid and ignorant, so that he was easily deceived by others..."

Putting aside the fact that he was often deceived by Madara when he was a child.

The second generation of the Great Sage of Fire, Senju Tobirama, believed that if Madara could curb his desire to go to extremes and no longer blindly yearn to surpass his brother and gain recognition from his brother and everyone else, perhaps he would not fall into the trap of the Moon Eye Project set by Black Zetsu, who attempted to use large-scale illusions to control all of humanity to achieve the so-called "true" peace...

Sasuke was extremely shocked when he heard the news of Izuna's death: "...dead?"

Since he learned the truth through the ancient images, he knew that he had been deceived by everyone in the name of "protection" and learned about Itachi's experience. Although Sasuke still could not forgive Itachi, nor could he forgive the Uchiha family and Konoha Village, he never thought that Itachi would die.

Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fists. Hearing this news made him angrier than anything else.

He was not angry at others, but at Uchiha Itachi!

Why, why does Itachi always try to keep everything in order?!

"boom!"

Sasuke angrily punched the stone wall beside him. Even though his whole body was shaking, he didn't know how to express his emotions at the moment.

At this moment, Itachi, who was hiding here in the form of a crow, said: "..."

"I don't think Uchiha Izuna's choice back then was the right one," Senju Tobirama said with emotion, "In fact, he was just deceived."

Sasuke looked at him in confusion: "?"

Itachi: "..."

Obito in Kamui Space: "?!!!"

"Speaking of the source of your Uchiha clan's blind trust in the ancestral stone tablet, where did it come from?" The second generation of the Great Sage of Fire sighed: "Izuna, Madara, your brother, and the foolish boy who was used by Madara to participate in the Moon Eye Project, didn't any of them think about it? The Uchiha inscription has gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes, maybe it has been tampered with long ago?"
