Naruto hodgepodge
Chapter 98 Who is Faster
In the warm and quiet evening of Konoha Village, the iron gate of the Ninja School creaked slightly and slowly closed, announcing the end of a day's study. Students poured out, each heading home or to meet friends. However, among this group of cheerful figures, Uzumaki Naruto chose to stay at the school gate, looking through the bustling crowd, looking for a familiar figure. At the same time, he turned to the little Naruto beside him and said, "You go to Baibaozhai first, there are delicious food there, I'll come to you after I do something."
Naruko nodded, with a mischievous smile, and ran towards the center of the village, where there were the busiest streets of Konoha Village and the temptation of various delicacies.
Naruto waited patiently. Soon, he saw the person he had been waiting for. Tiantian walked out of the crowd. Although she was not from a ninja family, she was the top student in the class and her family was rich. Her steps were light and confident. The sunlight on her hair added a bit of dazzling brilliance to her.
Naruto walked up quickly, patted Tenten's shoulder gently, and showed his signature smile. "Hey, Tenten, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Tenten turned around and saw that it was Naruto, a gentle smile spread across her face. "Naruto-kun, haha, what do you want from me?"
Naruto scratched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly: "What do you mean by junior? We are obviously in the same grade. Actually, I ordered some special scrolls from your house. I wonder if I can pick them up now? I want to get them early so that I can start practicing in the evening."
Tenten nodded after hearing this. "Of course, Naruto. Your passion for training is truly admirable. Come with me, we'll go back and get the scroll." With that, she turned around and led Naruto towards her home.
The two walked side by side on the streets of Konoha Village. The scenery along the way was particularly beautiful in the afterglow of the setting sun. They chatted, shared each other's daily lives and aspirations for the future, and occasionally made a few jokes. The air was filled with a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
Tiantian took Naruto into his own weapon shop, and a familiar and unique aroma of metal and leather hit his nose, making people instantly feel the strong atmosphere of battle and craftsmanship here. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, Tiantian habitually called out loudly: "Dad, I'm back!" The voice echoed in the store, attracting the attention of the middle-aged man with a neat beard and deep eyes. He is Tiantian's father, the owner of this weapon shop, a master with unique insights into ninja tools and scroll making.
"Oh, it's Tiantian, and Naruto is here too." Tiantian's father's voice was full of surprise. He put down the account book he was checking, stood up from behind the counter, and greeted his daughter with a smile. "Why did you two come back together? Are you trying to seduce my daughter?" Although his words were mixed with teasing, the doting and humor made the whole atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.
Tiantian couldn't help but chuckle after hearing what his father said, and shook his head helplessly: "Dad, you're here again, can you be serious?"
Naruto was amused by the interaction between the father and daughter. He smiled and explained, "Haha, uncle, you are really good at joking. Actually, I am here to pick up the scrolls I ordered before. I hope to get them as soon as possible so that I can start my training."
"Naruto, no wonder you came to my Tenten, it turns out you wanted to save money. Tenten, don't be fooled by him." Tenten's father's words once again caused laughter, but he immediately said seriously: "But having said that, Naruto, you came at the right time. Those scrolls have been prepared long ago, but I didn't expect you to be so anxious." After that, he turned and walked towards the shelf. His movements were skillful and quick, and he soon found the one Naruto ordered from the rows of neatly arranged scrolls.
"These are the scrolls you asked for," Tiantian's father said as he handed the scrolls to Naruto, "I personally supervised the production, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed. You can use them without worry." His words were full of pride, and he obviously had full confidence in his craftsmanship.
Naruto took the scroll, feeling grateful. "Thank you, Uncle!"
After that, Naruto said goodbye to Tenten's father, exchanged a glance with Tenten, and then Naruto returned to Hyakuhozhai with the precious scroll in his heart.
Inside the Baibaozhai, the busy scene unfolded like a vivid painting. Naruto sat in a corner like a big boss, enjoying the food, looking relaxed and contented, as if the whole world was serving him. Naruto hurriedly greeted Ayako, with a barely perceptible urgency in his eyes, and then turned to Izumi who was busy. Her focused and serious look was particularly eye-catching even in the noisy environment.
Izumi felt Naruto's arrival and raised his head, a smile naturally hanging on the corner of his mouth. "Naruto, you are here."
Naruto took a few steps closer and spoke softly: "Sister Quan, I have something to tell you." There was a seriousness in his tone, which made Quan involuntarily stop the work in her hands and focus all her attention on Naruto.
"This is a chakra necklace I made myself. Sister Quan gave it to you." Naruto took out an exquisite necklace from his arms and handed it to Quan. The necklace was inlaid with a small gem, emitting a faint light. It was obviously carefully designed and made.
Quan took the necklace, a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then he couldn't hide his joy. "Thank you, Naruto. It's very beautiful and I like it. Haha, why did you suddenly give me this? Do you like me? But you are more than four years younger than me." As he said this, he touched Naruto's head.
"Sister Quan, please take it with you. It will automatically activate when you are in danger, and I will come to save you." Naruto pushed Quan's hand away and said. He wanted to talk about serious matters, but Quan treated him like a child.
"But why do you think I'll be in danger?" Her curiosity was completely aroused, and at the same time she felt a sense of inexplicable warmth.
Naruto looked at Izumi seriously and said slowly: "Sister Izumi, you have already opened your Sharingan, right? You should be an official member of the Uchiha clan now. The reason I did this is because I know that you are in danger now and may be targeted. You are someone I value, and I hope you are safe. This is also my promise to my friends who I care about."
Quan's pupils shrank slightly, and a look of vigilance flashed across her eyes. "Naruto, how do you know that I have opened my eyes? This is not an open secret, and it is dangerous? Did you receive inside information from the village?" There was a bit of vigilance in her words.
Naruto shook his head slightly, his eyes gleaming with determination. "No, Sister Quan, this is not secret information. The Uchiha clan is now writing the words "I want to die" on their faces. You have less than a month now, hurry up and pick up Aunt Hazuki." Naruto calculated that there was still half a year based on the time in his memory, but because he had seen Obito in advance, he had estimated the time forward.
Hearing this, Izumi felt a sense of fear in her heart. The Uchiha clan's plan hadn't been officially scheduled yet, and a kid like Naruto already knew about it. Isn't that courting death? No, she had to pick up her mother immediately. "Naruto, I'm very touched by you. In this world, I'm really lucky to meet someone like you who truly cares about others."
Naruto smiled and told Izumi how to activate the necklace, and told her to stay away from Uchiha Itachi and to run to him if she saw something wrong.
After that, Naruto took Naruko back home, and from that day on Naruto devoted himself to the production of the scroll.
Naruto has been on guard since he saw Obito a few days ago. Now he is not capable of fighting Obito, and Obito's arrival naturally marks the countdown to the demise of the Uchiha clan. To be honest, the Uchiha clan is not that important to him, but it is still a big threat to him. If he runs towards the Uchiha clan now, he will be caught immediately and controlled to release the Nine-Tails. The Uchiha clan is the BOSS, whether it is Obito, Madara, or Sasuke, these are what he will face in the future.
However, since Shisui took the initiative to step into this vortex, he naturally had to protect it. Perhaps the existence of Uchiha in the future would cause him trouble, but it could also increase his strength. Since Naruto proposed the construction of the factory, a small number of Uchiha have been split out. These Uchiha were also looked down upon in the clan, and they easily integrated into the construction of the village and moved out of the clan land.
It would have been easy to distribute some benefits to the Uchiha clan, whether it was relocation or something, and then gradually eat away at them, but the Uchiha clan seemed to have discovered Naruto's conspiracy and refused to relocate. As for those divided clan members, they were not recognized by the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha clan was originally a sophisticated egoist, and only those clan members who had opened the Sharingan were truly regarded as real Uchiha clan members, so it was harmless.
Now Obito came several months earlier than he remembered, which led to a deviation in the plan, so Naruto could only deal with it as soon as possible. On the night of graduation, he had already urgently ordered some special scrolls from Tenten's weapon shop. The only major event in these time memory fragments was probably Uchiha.
Following the report from Uchiha Itachi last night, the Third Hokage already felt overwhelmed. During the decades he was Hokage, he strictly followed the policy of the Second Hokage, and the Uchiha had always been a partner in the village. It was not until after the Nine-Tails Rebellion that he felt suspicious. He did not have a God's perspective. He had asked his wife to secretly arrange for Kushina to give birth, but the Nine-Tails was suddenly controlled by someone, and in the end his wife and the Fourth Hokage Minato's family, who he favored, all died. Although the subsequent investigation results did not show that the current Uchiha was involved, in addition to the guards arranged by him and the Fourth Hokage, the investigation did show that because of Kushina's carelessness, Uchiha Mikoto knew when she was about to give birth to Naruto. Before this incident happened, the village was indeed harmonious and naturally did not feel anything, but things had already happened even if he had doubts about the Uchiha. After sorting out his mood, he really had no choice but to go find Naruto.
That night, the Third Hokage found Naruto and Shisui, and told Naruto about the upcoming coup in the Uchiha, hoping that Naruto could help him think of a solution. After listening to the Third Hokage's story, Naruto knew that if he didn't intervene, the Uchiha would not survive for a few days. The rebellion might have happened a few days earlier than in the memory fragments, and it seemed that it was mainly because Obito came early.
After listening, Naruto asked, "Did Uchiha Itachi report this to you?"
The Third Hokage nodded. He didn't expect that Naruto would be so sure just by meeting Itachi once.
Naruto said to the Third Hokage: "Grandpa Third Hokage, according to all the records of Konoha, the root of everything came from Uchiha Madara and the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. Uchiha Madara's attack on the village caused fear. Since the Second Hokage dealt with the coup of Uchiha Setsuna and others, he set the Uchiha policy. Because of the influence of this policy, the Uchiha has the village's guard and the right to enforce the law in the village, but at the same time, it has lost the right to speak in other affairs of the village. In the past few decades, the Uchiha has served the collective of Konoha like other families. During the war period They are reliable comrades, and in peacetime they are close companions. In terms of the policy towards Uchiha, majesty and trust must each account for 50%. Any more or less will have adverse effects. A little more majesty will cause dissatisfaction and arouse resistance within the clan, while a little more trust will allow the Uchiha to interfere in village affairs and create potential crises. The two are like a precise balance. As long as a perfect balance is reached, the Uchiha will continue like this. However, since the Nine-Tails Rebellion, this precise balance has begun to tilt. Did the Uchiha rebel since then? "
After saying that, Naruto looked at Uchiha Shisui, who nodded, "Yes, I had just become a Genin at that time, and it was at that time that the tribe members felt the distrust between the villages. Under this influence, the villagers also began to speak ill of the Uchiha guards. Naturally, the Uchiha also began to treat the villagers rudely in the future because of their arrogant character."
Naruto sighed: "To be honest, Brother Shisui, you Uchiha clan are really hard to please."
Shisui scratched his head in embarrassment, Naruto's words were merciless. Naruto then stood up and took out the scroll he had made before, and held it out.
Naruto continued, "The scrolls here are the ones I made these days. Grandpa Sandaime, open them and take a look."
The third generation took the scroll and looked at it: "This is..."
Naruto nodded, "Then I don't need to say more about what to do. Since the Uchiha's resistance is inevitable, then this is the only way. In order to avoid more trouble, let's act tomorrow night."
The Sandai nodded, then told Shisui to take care of Naruto's safety and left.
On a bright morning in Konoha Village, the sun penetrated the mist and sprinkled on the bluestone-paved path, covering the entire village with a golden coat. Uchiha Itachi stood on the top of a towering building, overlooking the vibrant scene below. His figure was particularly eye-catching in the morning light, like a lonely sculpture, silently gazing at the land.
Itachi's thoughts were as bright and clear as the sunlight at this moment. Village, clan, ninja - these three words echoed repeatedly in his mind, and every thought was like carving a piece of hard stone, trying to find the most perfect shape from it.
"Is struggle for the sake of production?" Itachi asked silently in his heart.
"Village or clan, what should I do?" Itachi's eyes passed over the layers of roofs and fell on Sasuke in the training ground in the distance. Sasuke was sweating profusely in the training ground, working hard to improve himself, with his eyes flashing with desire and dreams for the future. Itachi smiled with relief and made up his mind. He hadn't thought so much. Whether it was the glory of the Uchiha clan or the peace of Konoha Village, someone needed to take on the responsibility of protection. In order for his brother to grow up healthily in the sun, he would take on all of this.
Under the cover of night, the Uchiha clan's ancestral hall looked solemn and everything around was shrouded in silence. Itachi leaned quietly against an ancient tree, his eyes like two cold stars in the dark night, flashing an elusive light. Tonight, he was waiting here for an important person, the enemy who had killed his companions during a mission and made him open his Sharingan.
As a whirlpool appeared, Obito emerged from it wearing a tiger skin mask. At this moment, he was approaching the shrine of Nanchuan Shrine step by step, with a sharp sword in his left hand. He had planned to discuss the next plan with the Uchiha leaders tonight. "Hey!" At this time, Itachi's call broke the tranquility of the night. Obito stopped immediately. His keen intuition told him that he was discovered.
After a brief hesitation, Obito decided to face the person who had discovered him. He turned slowly, and in the darkness, Itachi's figure gradually became clear. He leaned against a tree, carrying a long sword, and his posture was calm, as if he had already expected him. Itachi's call was beyond Obito's expectations, but the opportunity contained in it aroused his interest.
"I want to ask you for a favor." Itachi's voice rang out in the night sky. Obito's curiosity was completely aroused, and he motioned for Itachi to continue.
Itachi made his request: "Your goal is the Sharingan of the clan, and I want to kill the entire Uchiha clan. This goal is not contradictory. But I can't face all the guards at the same time by myself, I want you to help me." Itachi's words were like a bombshell, shocking Obito. He had intended to instigate a coup in the Uchiha clan, and he personally went to Danzo to report the details of the Uchiha clan coup, intending to collect more Sharingans in the upcoming chaos. Now Itachi's proposal undoubtedly provided him with a great opportunity.
Obito nodded excitedly: "It's a good suggestion. I am Uchiha Madara, and I will not let go of those clansmen who betrayed me. When do you plan to take action?" His words were full of anticipation, as if he had foreseen the upcoming Sharingan inventory.
"Tomorrow evening, you and I will rush into the guard team and kill the main members first, and then I will kill the rest of the clan. Lord Danzo's troops will support us outside." Itachi's plan was detailed and thorough, and every aspect was taken into consideration.
Obito nodded, a sly look in his eyes, "I'll wait for you then, but what are your plans after this is over?"
Itachi hadn't thought of that much yet: "I don't have any idea yet."
Obito was delighted: "Then, follow me and join Akatsuki, a mercenary organization that is recruiting."
Itachi: "Akatsuki?"
Obito: "Wait until everything is over! I'll be waiting for your news tomorrow night."
After he finished speaking, a whirlpool-like distortion of space swallowed him up, leaving only a cold breath lingering in the air.
Itachi looked at the place where Obito disappeared, with mixed emotions in his heart. He muttered to himself: "Time and space?"
