Chapter 167 Erzhuzi: No Need for Sympathy

In Konoha, the lights were still on inside the Hokage Building under the cover of night.

Some masked ninjas were hiding in the shadows; these were members of the Anbu.

A squad leader from the shadows crouched behind the roof in a shaded spot.

Because of the appearance of the light screen, many people in the village have come out of their homes.

Looking around, while not every household in the village is safe, most families have their lights on.

Many people went out of their homes.

There were also many more people on the streets.

Many people gathered together to discuss what was being revealed on the screen.

Stories like Kabuto Yakushi, the perfect Sage Mode in Ryuchi Cave, Itachi, and Sasuke have all become hot topics.

In addition, Danzo is also not to be overlooked.

But now, Danzo is a heinous rogue ninja.

Although Danzo was not the first S-rank rogue ninja in the village, he was the one with the greatest sins.

When Fugaku and Sasuke walked out of the Hokage Building, the first thing they saw was a group of clansmen.

Led by Uchiha Tetsuka, Uchiha Hachidai, and Uchiha Inahisa, a group of clansmen arrived outside the Hokage Building.

Upon seeing Sasuke, Tiehuo and the others looked at him with pity.

That's right, everyone sympathizes with Sasuke.

Whether Itachi Uchiha was a good older brother or not is another matter, but Sasuke was truly pitiful.

Furthermore, Sasuke has more potential than Itachi.

The future of the clan rests on Sasuke's shoulders.

Therefore, Sasuke's thinking must not be skewed.

Sasuke's buttocks are in the clan.

If the clan launches a coup in the future, Sasuke should help the clan without reservation.

Although Sasuke is Fugaku's son.

However, few in the clan feel at ease having Fugaku educate Sasuke.

In addition, it is also necessary to find out whether Indra's chakra is truly in Sasuke's body.

If Sasuke truly possesses Indra's chakra, then once activated, Sasuke would surpass Itachi in no time!

Furthermore, there's also the Sage of Six Paths behind Indra's chakra!

What if the Sage of Six Paths supported the Uchiha clan?
Thinking about it this way, Tiehuo and the others became incredibly excited.

So excited!

Besides his clansmen, there were other people on the street, and almost all of them looked at Sasuke with pity.

Sasuke's face darkened; he, Sasuke, didn't need any sympathy.

When Itachi comes back, he'll definitely give that guy a good beating.

As for Fugaku, he was deep in thought.

The clan members are paying more and more attention to Sasuke.

The higher-ups are also paying attention to Sasuke.

Sasuke's attitude towards the village will be very important, as it will determine the higher-ups' attitude towards him.

Although there is a significant divide between the clan and the village, it doesn't necessarily mean Sasuke has to choose between the two.

"No, absolutely not, I can't let Sasuke choose between the two," Fugaku thought to himself.

On the bright side, perhaps Sasuke can help his clan integrate into the village.

Today, the clan is nominally part of the village, but it has been marginalized and ostracized.

There are only a few possibilities for the future of a clan. The best is to be accepted by the higher-ups, trusted by the villagers, and truly integrated into the village. Shisui, Itachi, and Fugaku have always worked towards this goal. Another possibility is to launch a coup and successfully seize power. However, given the difference in strength, the chances of the Uchiha clan successfully seizing power are too slim. The remaining possibilities are either the extermination of the clan or the entire clan leaving Konoha.

If the village's higher-ups continue to suppress the Uchiha clan, and the Uchiha neither leave Konoha nor stage a coup, the only outcome will be the extermination of the clan. The only difference is the timing of the extermination. What difference does it make whether the clan is exterminated next year or the year after?

A coup is unacceptable.

It wouldn't be appropriate for the entire clan to leave Konoha.

It wasn't that no one in the clan had suggested leaving Konoha, but the opposition was too strong.

Fugaku opposed the entire clan leaving Konoha.

The clan elders also opposed leaving Konoha.

Even if the entire clan leaves Konoha, will the clan have a bright future?

Which ninja village would genuinely accept the Uchiha?

Konoha and Uzumaki Village had such a close relationship back then, but the Uzumaki clan suffered a disaster. What did Konoha do?

Therefore, if the Uchiha clan were to leave as a whole, Konoha would not allow it, and other ninja villages would not accept them either. At most, they would take one Uchiha woman as a breeding tool, and that would be it!
As for the Uchiha clan establishing their own ninja village, that would be very difficult!
The era is different from the Warring States period before the establishment of Konoha.

Some might say that Orochimaru was able to establish the Sound Village in a small country.

But the situation is still different.

The Uchiha clan is a target for trouble; if they were to establish a ninja village in a small country, they would face a host of problems.

Hanzo's dream before his death was to make Amegakure the sixth largest ninja village. What was the result?

It's so difficult for a small ninja village to become a large ninja village.

Given the size of the Uchiha clan, establishing a ninja village wouldn't be a small-scale operation. If it were to grow to a slightly larger scale, the five great ninja villages would surely not allow it to continue.

Therefore, integrating into Konoha is the best option for the Uchiha clan, at least for the best future at this stage.

Having recognized this, Fugaku's efforts were focused on integrating his clan into the village.

……

"what happened?"

"The light screen has reappeared? When?"

Naruto finally woke up.

There's quite a commotion outside.

Upon waking up, Naruto saw the light screen outside the window.

Naruto was instantly wide awake.

Wearing his pajamas and a nightcap, Naruto rubbed his eyes and ran barefoot to the window.

How long has the light screen been there? How much did he miss?

Why didn't you wake him up sooner?

At that moment, Naruto saw a figure not far from the window. By the moonlight, he carefully examined it and realized it was the Animal Path of Pain.

"You beastly uncle, you beastly uncle~" Naruto opened the glass window and waved his hand.

Animal Path turned to look at Naruto.

"How long has the light screen been on? What content is being broadcast?" Naruto asked with a face full of curiosity.

The Animal Path turned its head away again, without answering Naruto's question.

This made Naruto furious.

I can only ask others after the light screen ends.

[White Zetsu reporter interviews Kakashi: Sixth Hokage, what are your plans after becoming Hokage?]
Kakashi: Huh? Huh? Just going to work as usual!

Naruto was no longer surprised when the screen said Kakashi was the Sixth Hokage.

The original destiny was that of the Sixth Hokage, Kakashi, but the destiny has changed, and the future Sixth Hokage may not necessarily be Kakashi.

[White Zetsu reporter interviews Minato: What are your plans after you become Hokage?]
Minato smiled broadly: "Once I become Hokage, I can go to work."

The black-haired man looked aloof. A White Zetsu reporter came to interview him: "Uncle, do you also want to work as the Hokage?"
Black-haired man: I'm freaking Madara.

The Valley of the End, the reanimated body with age spots: "Hmph! Boring!"

His face remained calm, but inside he was furious.

The light screen is playing a prank on him again.

Unfortunately, he still can't do anything about the light screen.

He had thought about destroying the light barrier in the Pure Land, but he couldn't do it!

Now, he still has no way to deal with the light screen.

Perhaps, only when he is truly resurrected, reclaims his Rinnegan, and becomes the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki again, will he be able to destroy the light barrier!

"The light barrier must also be a kind of power, a power from a higher-dimensional world. And since it's a power, it should be able to be absorbed!" Ban thought to himself.

As he pondered this, Madara's gaze fell upon the Naruto chat group on the light screen.

He is also a member of the group.

So, let's start with the Naruto chat group! The Naruto chat group should be part of the light screen.

If you can master the chat group, mastering the light screen will be much easier.

"The first step is the chat group, the second step is the light screen, and then, it's the higher-dimensional world behind the light screen." Ban's goal became clear.

From then on, Ban focused most of his attention on the chat group.

Although Madara had a private conversation with Hashirama, he did not tell Hashirama all his thoughts.

After all, the goal is to control the chat group, and it's inappropriate to chat about this in the group.

However, Hashirama isn't a brainless idiot, and he has a tacit understanding with him, so he should be able to figure out his thoughts soon.

If Hashirama could help him, the chances of success would be much greater.

……

"Indra's Chakra?"

Orochimaru licked his lips, his interest in Sasuke growing even stronger.

"So, Naruto has Ashura's chakra, right? And the Sage of Six Paths is secretly protecting Sasuke and Naruto?" Kabuto's expression also turned serious.

Orochimaru, meanwhile, fell into deep thought.

Indra and Asura are now in balance.

The Uchiha clan's chakra reserves are not as high as those of the Uzumaki clan, but their Sharingan grants them powerful bloodline limits.

Sasuke will be able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan in the future.

Naruto not only possesses the Uzumaki clan's immense chakra reserves, but also the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Was everything arranged by the Sage of Six Paths?

Just like Hashirama and Madara, their strength is about the same.

Sasuke and Naruto are probably only about the same level!

Kabuto understands Orochimaru, and Orochimaru must have become interested in Indra's chakra.

But if everything was arranged by the Sage of Six Paths, the Sage of Six Paths would intervene if Orochimaru dared to touch Indra's chakra.

If the Sage of Six Paths makes a move, can Orochimaru handle it?
Perhaps even death is a luxury!

Therefore, no matter how good Indra's chakra is, it cannot be touched casually.

Orochimaru had, of course, taken Kabuto's concerns into account.

But if Sasuke really does possess Indra's chakra, Orochimaru would feel it would be a waste not to investigate.

What is chakra? It is a combination of physical and mental energy.

Sage Chakra is further enhanced with natural energy.

Therefore, Indra's chakra must contain a great secret.

"Chakra has a significant impact on the human body. If Sasuke Uchiha truly possesses Indra's chakra, then once activated, Sasuke's body will also change. He might transform from 'Sasuke' into 'Indra,' a life form with a different appearance and no memories, but the same essence," Orochimaru analyzed.

Kabuto could understand what Orochimaru said, and after thinking about it, he agreed with it.

So, if Orochimaru obtains Indra's chakra, he might be able to 'revive' Indra through technology, or even clone countless Indras.

With Indra as the material, many experimental studies became much smoother.

It has to be said that Orochimaru's idea was insane.

But all of this is possible if one obtains Indra's chakra.

It's possible, so why not give it a try?
Even if the Sage of Six Paths is secretly protecting Sasuke, there must be a way to bypass him!

Orochimaru wouldn't be willing to give up before even trying.

They even forced out the Sage of Six Paths who was hiding in the shadows, so that they could study him.

A hint of madness appeared in Orochimaru's eyes, while a wicked smile played on his lips.

Dou pushed up his glasses, squinting and smiling.

"No rush," Orochimaru said again.

After all, it's still uncertain whether Sasuke truly possesses Indra's chakra.

The higher-ups in Konoha will find out.

Therefore, Orochimaru decided to wait.

Just keep an eye on Konoha.

It's not too late to take action once we've confirmed that Sasuke possesses Indra's chakra.

In addition, there are definitely many people who covet Indra's chakra. Even if some cannon fodder are used to test the waters, a lot of important information can still be gathered.

Kabuto, however, shared the same idea as Orochimaru.

He is the most ruthless person in Konoha!

The title that suddenly appeared on the screen also caught the attention of Orochimaru and Kabuto.

"Konoha is the most ruthless?" Kabuto asked curiously.

Orochimaru was also very curious; he wondered if Orochimaru would say something about him!
After all, Orochimaru was indeed ruthless.

Or are you referring to Danzo?
Danzo Shimura, the man of ruthless obstinacy, was a ruthless and cruel individual.

However, when it comes to ruthlessness, Orochimaru is no less ruthless than Danzo!

We'll see what the screen says.

……

In Konoha, many people also turned their attention to the light screen.

The Akimichi clan, Akimichi Torifu, Akimichi Choza, Akimichi Choji..., are all fat.

This is also related to the secret techniques of the Akimichi clan.

The body gains weight by replenishing chakra through food, which is also due to the storage of a large amount of chakra.

"Could it be Danzo or Orochimaru?" Akimichi Choza asked, his face full of curiosity.

It couldn't possibly be the third generation!
Even Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu couldn't match Danzo's ruthlessness!
“He could also be an extremist from the Uchiha clan,” Akimichi Torifu said.

Akimichi Torifu also had no good feelings towards the Uchiha clan.

While not as extreme as Danzo, Akimichi Torifu also felt that the Uchiha clan was inherently somewhat evil.

Suppressing the Uchiha clan is not a bad thing.

Choji Akimichi yawned. He had been sleeping soundly, but he got up to watch when he heard that the light screen had appeared.

At that moment, Choji was eating a bag of potato chips.

Soon, the bag of potato chips was finished. Choji patted himself down and found a bag of jerky, which he then devoured.

If you look closely at Choji's chakra, you'll see that his chakra increases as he eats.

Choji was also quite curious about who the most ruthless person in Konoha was.

The most likely candidate is Danzo!

……

The Yamanaka clan, the Nara clan, the Aburame clan...

People from all the major and minor ninja clans in Konoha were watching the light screen, and now they were all curious.

Of course, some people are still sleeping.

The Hatake family.

Kakashi was woken up by the ninja dog Pakkun.

It has to be said that Kakashi is very smart.

Knowing that the light screen might appear in the middle of the night, he instructed the eight ninja dogs to keep watch, and that any one of them should wake Kakashi up immediately once the light screen appeared.

So, as soon as the light screen appeared, Pakkun, one of the Eight Ninja Dogs, rushed to wake Kakashi.

Kakashi sat in his yard, watching the light screen.

"Ruthless?" Kakashi was also curious.

There are quite a few ruthless ninjas in the village, right? But who is the most ruthless?

Even if the screen says that Danzo is the most ruthless person in Konoha, some people might disagree!

"It can't be me, can it?" Kakashi muttered.

He doesn't want to be labeled as ruthless.

At this moment, the image on the screen changed, and it began broadcasting live who was the most ruthless person in Konoha.

Kakashi also watched the light screen intently.

At this moment, from different places, countless eyes were focused on the light screen.
