Naruto hodgepodge

After the Third Hokage and Naruto finished dealing with the Uchiha Fugaku incident, they immediately started an in-depth discussion about Danzo's future arrangements. The Third Hokage had decisively deprived Danzo of his power as the Hokage's assistant, and asked him to disband his private Anbu called "Root" and put him in confinement. Danzo did as he was told and directly disbanded Root and put him in confinement, but of course this was only a formal disbandment.

After hearing the decision, Naruto suggested that instead of letting Danzo do things in the dark, it would be better to put him in the light and use his unique way of doing things to open up a new path for Konoha's future development. The Land of Fire is vast, with uneven economic levels and many cities and regions like states and counties. In this context, it is not easy for Konoha's products to be sold to the entire Land of Fire, and it requires a lot of time, manpower and material resources.

More importantly, many areas of the Land of Fire still maintain a relatively primitive state of development, and local lords and nobles often create trouble. In addition, most of Konoha's products are not unique and can be sold elsewhere. These lords and nobles have become a stumbling block to Konoha's prosperity. Naruto deeply realized that if Konoha wants to be truly independent from the daimyo political system, it must first gain a firm foothold in the economy and gradually weaken or even replace the old aristocratic forces.

So Naruto boldly proposed a creative plan: send Danzo to these areas to carry out Konoha's economic infiltration mission. Although Danzo is ruthless, he has a keen desire for power and a keen insight into interests. Naruto believes that as long as he is given proper guidance and supervision, Danzo is fully capable of becoming the pioneer of Konoha's economic expansion, using his unique talent as a troublemaker to "stir up" those stubborn lords and nobles, paving the way for Konoha's rise.

This proposal made the Third Hokage's eyes light up. After carefully weighing the pros and cons, the Third Hokage decided to adopt Naruto's suggestion. The two hit it off and arranged for Danzo without waiting for the two followers. When Danzo learned that he was given the important task of Konoha's economic infiltration plan, a subtle excitement flashed in his eyes. For this disgusting guy who has been controlling power in the dark for a long time, such a task is undoubtedly an opportunity to prove himself and regain respect. He accepted the order without hesitation and immediately summoned the members of the "Root" to embark on a new journey.

The Land of Fire, this vast land, has a total area of ​​nearly 1000 million square kilometers. For Danzo, this is not only a piece of land to be conquered, but also a stage for him to display his talents and realize his ambitions. So, Danzo and his team acted at an astonishing speed. Like a sharp blade in the dark night, they quietly penetrated into every corner of the Land of Fire. They used the unique abilities of ninjas to quickly cross mountains and rivers, penetrate into those remote and primitive cities, and waged a series of smokeless wars with local lords and nobles.

In this economic infiltration campaign, Danzo showed his unique talents and ruthless methods. He cleverly used Konoha's resources and technological advantages to deal with and negotiate with those stubborn noble forces, and at the same time did not forget to use his influence to secretly disintegrate their alliances and plans. Under his leadership, the "Root" gradually became a force that Konoha could not ignore in the economic field of the Land of Fire. Danzo also began to "go offline and hang up" as in the original future, paving a solid road for the future development of Konoha.

After this sudden tragedy, the entire Uchiha clan seemed to be swept by a storm, leaving only a desolate and desolate land. Most of the Uchiha who had opened the Sharingan have turned into dust, and the glory of the Uchiha has vanished with the passing of life. The remaining Uchiha clan members, especially the men, who can open the Sharingan are rare. These survivors, facing the destruction of the family and the exclusion of the outside world, have to make a difficult choice, put aside the glory and pride of the past, and try to integrate into the daily life of Konoha Village like the Senju clan did in the past. They put on the clothes of ordinary villagers, hiding the occasional flash of Sharingan in their eyes, and trying to find a trace of peace in the ordinary. However, the hatred and unwillingness buried deep in their hearts are like wildfires, which are difficult to quell.

For the children of the Uchiha clan, their childhood was prematurely stained with sadness. Whenever the topic of the family was accidentally touched upon in the dead of night or when they were playing with other children, their young hearts would ache. They knew that the legends and glory of the family had now become a heavy burden, weighing them down. But their fists were too small and their strength was too weak to avenge their family. They could only bury their anger and unwillingness deep in their hearts and turn it into motivation for growth.

Among these children, Sasuke's experience is particularly eye-catching. Not only does he have to endure the pain of losing his loved ones, but he also has to face the ridicule and rejection from his peers. During this period of gloom, Uchiha Sasuke's heart seemed to be swallowed by endless darkness, and every breath was accompanied by a heavy burden. Countless warm eyes and familiar faces gradually blurred in his memory, leaving only a cold blank. He became a lonely traveler, carrying the heaviness and despair that should not belong to his age.

Back at the ninja school, many children no longer had innocent curiosity and friendliness in their eyes. Instead, they were fearful, repulsive, and even openly mocking. Except for a few classmates, everyone pointed fingers at him. Every day, when he stepped into the school, his ears were filled with harsh words: "Look, that's the orphan of the Uchiha family. Everyone in their family is a traitor!" "I heard that his brother killed many clansmen himself. It's terrible!" These words were like sharp blades, cutting his already broken heart again and again.

Sasuke tried to build a wall of indifference to isolate himself from the outside world. He no longer participated in the laughter and playfulness of his classmates, and even tried to avoid making eye contact with anyone, including Sakura who occasionally looked at her. He did not notice it. Whenever it was late at night, he would always curl up in the corner of the room, staring at the lonely moon outside the window, with complex emotions surging in his heart, including nostalgia for his family, a complex mixture of love and hate for his brother, and anger and unwillingness at the injustice of fate.

"Why did my brother do this?" He cried out in his heart countless times, but all he got in response was the silent night and endless darkness. The flame of revenge burned in his heart, not only because of hatred for his brother, but also because of the injustice of the whole world. He longed for power, longing to end everything for his brother with his own hands one day, to make the Uchiha name shine again, and to let those who had laughed at him and belittled him know that he, Uchiha Sasuke, would never be defeated by fate.

So, he began to practice diligently, turning all his pain and unwillingness into motivation to move forward, shining with the light of revenge. This road is destined to be lonely and difficult, but he is no longer afraid, because in his heart, there is a voice that always echoes: "I want to become stronger, strong enough to change everything."

A month later, the setting sun poured down on the roofs of Konoha Village like molten gold. Sasuke finished a day of intense training, exhausted but with a determined look in his eyes. He walked slowly towards the new home arranged for him by the Third Hokage in the twilight. Although it was not as magnificent as the Uchiha Mansion, it had a little more warmth and tranquility of home. The moment he opened the door, a familiar yet strange atmosphere quietly spread, causing Sasuke's steps to stagnate.

Inside the house, the soft lighting illuminated a dining table filled with dishes, which was the warmest scene in his childhood memory. What shocked Sasuke even more was that two figures were sitting quietly beside the dining table, as if time had gone back, bringing him back to that carefree childhood.

"Dad...Mom..." Sasuke's voice was trembling, and every word seemed to come from the deepest part of his heart, with unspeakable excitement and disbelief. His eyes were instantly moist, and tears rolled in his eyes, blurring his vision, but he could clearly see his parents' faces. This was not a dream, right?

Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto slowly turned around, tears also gleaming in their eyes, but more of them were the joy of reunion and the satisfaction of their son's growth. Mikoto quickly stepped forward and hugged Sasuke in her arms. The warm embrace seemed to dispel all the coldness and loneliness in the world. "Sasuke, my child, we are back." Her voice was choked with sobs, but full of endless tenderness and strength.

Fugaku stood aside, looking at Sasuke with his weathered but still firm eyes, full of pride and encouragement. "You did a great job, Sasuke. Nothing can defeat our family."

The family of three sat around the dining table, with Sasuke's favorite dishes on the table. The aroma whetted people's appetite. At this moment, all of Sasuke's pain, hatred, and loneliness seemed to be melted by this warm current, leaving only happiness and peace. They ate and talked, sharing each other's recent situation and thoughts, and every word was full of warmth and love.

Sasuke listened to his parents telling him how they couldn't come to see him recently because of their serious injuries and how much they missed him, and he felt an unprecedented warmth and gratitude in his heart. He realized that no matter how many misfortunes his family encountered, no matter how cruel the world was, as long as he had his parents' company and support, he would never be alone.

After dinner, Sasuke snuggled up with his parents, enjoying this hard-earned reunion time. The night outside the window was getting darker, but the house was warm and bright. For Sasuke, this moment was more precious and beautiful than any ninjutsu or any power.

Before going to bed, Fugaku and Mikoto told Sasuke something important. Mikoto said, "Sasuke, I'm sorry that your brother did such a thing, but he also had his reasons for not telling you. But you have to remember that your father and I cannot appear in front of others at the moment. Don't reveal that we are still alive outside, otherwise mom and dad will have to leave you."

Sasuke nodded heavily: "Yes, I remember."

Seeing that Sasuke knew, Fugaku nodded and said, "Sasuke, if a former clan member bullies you, I hope you can be patient and not retaliate. We owe him this."

Sasuke felt unhappy when he recalled the looks from those people, but he nodded when his father said that. After his parents left, Sasuke's hatred for his brother increased, but because his parents were still alive and his mother's words, the death of those clansmen did not affect Sasuke much. Sasuke no longer thought about killing him, but he must beat him up. The Sharingan with a magatama in his eyes was completely stable due to recent training.

Although Sasuke was not stimulated by Itachi, his Sharingan was actually awakened when Indra's chakra awakened at the age of one. Indra's three magatama plus his own chakra directly mutated into the Mangekyō Sharingan. Therefore, Sasuke's chakra met the basic one magatama and was naturally able to open it. For a normal Uchiha, the Sharingan naturally needs to be upgraded, but Indra is not a normal person, and the Mangekyō is not necessarily stronger than the ordinary Sharingan. It is just a genetic mutation of the fusion of chakra and attributes.
