Naruto hodgepodge

The next morning, Sakura walked into the campus with a brisk pace, but her heart was inexplicably heavy. Her eyes unconsciously swept to the corner of the classroom, where Sasuke's seat was still empty. Her brows were furrowed, and a trace of worry and anxiety flashed in her eyes. Did Sasuke's family tragedy really happen? Sasuke's family members were probably all dead, and they were killed by his own brother. This sudden concern made her feel both familiar and unfamiliar, because as the resonance with the memory of "Brother Sakura" deepened, she seemed to be able to more truly feel the deep concern and worry for her companions.

During the break, the classroom was filled with a relaxed atmosphere, with students chatting in groups or immersed in books alone. Sakura's eyes once again unconsciously swept across the classroom, and this time, she noticed Naruto's empty seat, and she couldn't help but feel a little more worried. She stood up and decided to ask Naruko, secretly hoping that Naruto was safe. Then she walked straight to Naruko and gently patted her shoulder, interrupting Naruko's sleep.

"Naruto, can you tell me why Naruto didn't come today?" Sakura's voice was a little anxious and her eyes were full of concern.

Naruko turned to look at Sakura, and she was in a bad mood again, looking a little impatient. "Oh, it's Sakura. That guy said he had something to deal with, but I don't know what it was." She shrugged, not seeming to want to talk more.

Seeing this, Sakura did not give up. She tried to continue asking in a gentler tone: "Is there something wrong? He hasn't been here for two days."

Naruko heard this, "Who knows, that guy is always mysterious." After that, she continued to lie down to rest. If it weren't for the fact that Sakura had prepared food for her, Naruko would have ignored her. Sakura looked at Naruko who continued to sleep, feeling helpless. She could only bury her annoyance in her heart. The synchronization between Sakura and her made her more and more confused.

Inside the hospital, the white ward was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant, which contrasted sharply with the occasional sunlight coming in from the window, but seemed unable to dispel the heavy haze in the room. Sasuke slowly opened his eyes, and everything around him was both familiar and unfamiliar, as if he had woken up from a long and cruel nightmare. His eyes were empty, and his mind was filled with the image of his family stained with blood, as well as the figure of the person he once respected the most but now hated the most, his brother, Uchiha Itachi.

Sasuke's chest seemed to be pressed by a huge rock, and every breath was accompanied by a tearing pain. He tried to sit up, but found that his body was weak, as if all the strength had been drained away. In his memory, those once warm smiling faces have now turned into cold corpses, and their eyes are no longer full of love, but replaced by hatred and fear. Father and mother, uncle Yaowei, uncle Shoushao, aunt Jing... all of this disappeared with the destruction of the family.

What broke his heart even more was that those fellow tribesmen who used to play and frolic together with him seemed to have changed into different people. Including Izumi, who used to be good friends with his brother, and the Uchiha kids who used to play with him, they either hid in the distance, secretly looking at him with hostile and fearful eyes; or simply approached him and attacked him with vicious words, accusing him of being the "brother of the murderer", as if he had also participated in the massacre. These words were like sharp blades, cutting his heart again and again, making him feel unprecedented loneliness and despair.

Under such a double blow, Sasuke's spirit almost collapsed. He could not accept this cruel reality, and could not accept that he had gone from being the pride of his family to being despised by the world overnight. Anger, sadness, helplessness...all kinds of emotions intertwined, hitting his heart like a storm. Finally, at a certain moment, the chakra in his body lost control and surged wildly, as if to break through his body, looking for an outlet to vent, until he was about to faint.

At this moment, a black figure appeared in the ward like a ghost. It was the sister of the Anbu. She quickly and calmly subdued Sasuke's out-of-control chakra and calmed Sasuke's restless emotions with her gentle but firm hands. With her help, Sasuke gradually regained his composure, but the pain and the flame of revenge buried deep in his heart were never really extinguished.

In another secret room, Uchiha Mikoto slowly woke up.

"You're awake, Mikoto." Fugaku, who was lying in the next bed, said when he saw Mikoto wake up.

"Fugaku? What are we doing?" Mikoto asked, enduring the pain.

"I don't know either, but it seems we were rescued," Fugaku said calmly.

"That's right, many of your clansmen died, but you, as the initiators of the coup, survived." Naruto's voice came, slowly entering the room.

"Nine-tailed Fox?" Fugaku looked at Naruto and his face looked a little ugly when he heard what Naruto had just said. "Kushina's..." Mikoto

"Yes, I am the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki." Naruto responded to Fugaku. Then Naruto looked at Mikoto: "You know my mother?"

Mikoto: "Well, we were classmates and companions when we graduated."

Naruto: "Aunt Mikoto, you knew this news before I was born, right?"

Mikoto: "Well, we encountered it before Kushina gave birth. She was with Biwako-sama at the time."

Naruto pondered for a moment: "No wonder, it seems that the news was leaked at that time, and finally my mother was attacked by your Uchiha clan."

Mikoto: "No, I won't..."

Fugaku had no intention of interrupting, but when he heard Naruto suddenly put the blame on the Uchiha clan, he became angry. The village suspected that the Uchiha clan was responsible, and many Konoha ninjas including the Yondaime and his wife, the Third Hokage's wife, and died. He endured the severe injuries and said, "It was definitely not our Uchiha clan who did it. Moreover, our clan is now hated and has to stage a coup because of the birth of a brat like you."

Naruto glanced at Fugaku calmly. Kurama would not lie to him, but Naruto would not mention Kurama's name in front of others for the time being. So he said: "You are right. It was indeed caused by my birth. But the fact of the matter was that your Uchiha clan did it. This is what the Nine-Tails told me himself."

Fugaku: "It's impossible. Our clan was rescuing the villagers at the time, and no one could have done it at that time."

Mikoto: "Naruto, please believe us, we can't do this."

Naruto also knew that it was either the Uchiha from the village or that guy Obito, but it was not appropriate to say it at this stage. "Uchiha Madara. Is that your Uchiha?"

Hearing this name, Fugaku and Mikoto were stunned. Fugaku: "Impossible, he died a long time ago..."

The Sandai also came to the ward at this time. Mikoto looked at him and called him "Master Sandai". As for Fugaku, he didn't want to pay any attention to him.

The third generation nodded. No one could hear anything outside the door of this room. He just heard Naruto say Uchiha Madara's words when he entered the room.

Naruto glanced at the Third Hokage and continued, "He is not dead. It was Uchiha Madara who massacred the Uchiha people together with your son Itachi yesterday." Although Naruto knew that it was Obito who did it, Obito now inherited Madara's name, and exposing Obito now would be dangerous for him.

The third generation also felt that it was impossible. Naruto said, "Grandpa Third Generation, I can already communicate with the Nine-Tails. The masked man I saw through the telescope yesterday was the murderer who attacked my parents. He was indeed the former patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Madara, but he has lost his power now."

"Is it really him?" The Third Hokage didn't even have time to ask when Naruto was communicating with the Nine-Tails, but he had seen Madara since he was a child. He was the son of the patriarch of the Sarutobi clan, one of the four major families before the establishment of Konoha. He was afraid of Madara and did not become Madara's disciple and finally chose the First Hokage as his teacher. After all, Madara was very scary. He had scared Koharu to tears just by trying to care for a child. Even now, he still feels a little scared when he thinks of Madara.

After hearing this, Fugaku was furious. When he was born, Madara was expelled from the clan and left Konoha with many of the clan's inheritances. Because he once attacked the village with the Nine-Tails, the Uchiha clan was not treated fairly. After so many years of hard work, he inherited the clan leader and became one of the candidates for the Fourth Hokage. Although there was no Hokage, he managed the clan well and maintained a good relationship with Minato. They were all good for the first few decades, and then the bastard Uchiha Madara came to harm them again.

Fugaku is even more sad now, but unfortunately he can't even move now. They were all dead, and his clansmen were killed by his son (based on his understanding of Itachi and the future he saw, there will be no other Uchiha except Sasuke). Now he is rescued by Konoha just to judge them and deprive them of the only title of Uchiha they have left?

"Yes, now that he has lost his power, he is just a clown who hides his head and shows his tail. He can only use space ninjutsu to escape and is hard to deal with." Naruto didn't have a good impression of Madara, so he directly attributed Obito's clown behavior to Madara. Isn't it good to dream of giving himself an illusion? For his dream of peace, he hung everyone on the tree. He is just a poor guy, and he doesn't have the status of a boss at all. If he hadn't heard the Nine-Tails say that there was an Otsutsuki behind him, he would have planned to speed through the level and find a way to kill Obito and Black Zetsu. What a bullshit child of destiny.

Watching the Sandaime fall into deep thought, and Fugaku and Mikoto in silence, Naruto suddenly remembered the memory fragment in which Fugaku's clan members tied him up and released the Nine-Tails, and said, "Clan leader Fugaku, do you still think that your Uchiha clan is innocent? You should have thought about arresting me and controlling me to release the Nine-Tails."

Fugaku had long been determined to die. No matter what, he was still a very responsible clan leader. It could only be said that it was unlucky for him to have Uchiha Madara as his ancestor. "If it was really Madara, we Uchiha clan members were not innocent. However, I have been trying to avoid conflicts between the clan and the village in recent years, including this coup, which I only intended to make a bloodless coup. As for manipulation, you only thought about it once and ruled it out. The consequences of releasing the Nine-Tails are disastrous."

Naruto asked Fugaku these questions to verify the contents of the memory fragments. As for him asking Shisui to save Fugaku in advance, the most important thing was to prevent him from losing his arm when fighting Sasuke in the end, just in case it was like what Kyuubi said. Besides, Naruto and Sasuke were also the closest friends, and his future with Sasuke might be different, so it was better to add insurance. If Sasuke asked to return his parents to him during the fight, he would just throw Fugaku and Mikoto to him.

After all, capturing himself and releasing the Nine-Tails was just an idea that Fugaku had. His purpose was to kill the Konoha high-level officials headed by the Third Hokage and then take power himself. He also didn't want Konoha to suffer heavy losses. It can only be said that he was too naive.

The Sandai sighed. A bloodless coup? Fugaku was as naive as himself. Once the battle started, it would be impossible for it to be bloodless.
