Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 286 Fugaku is in a bind

Konoha Police Department.

Jiraiya's trip was in vain. Fugaku was not at the police station at the time, nor was he patrolling the village with anyone. He was probably at home. So, Jiraiya headed towards the Uchiha clan's territory.

Before the Nine-Tails' attack, the Uchiha clan's territory was located in the center of the village. However, due to the Nine-Tails' attack, the Uchiha were forced to relocate to the edge of the village.

This would upset any ninja clan.

After all, land in the center of the village is extremely valuable, much more so than land on the outskirts.

Furthermore, the Uchiha clan has been building up Konoha since its founding, and after decades of this, abandoning it all at once would be a significant loss.

Most importantly, what will the villagers think and say when the Uchiha clan moves from the village center to the edge of the village?
It would be strange if the Uchiha didn't harbor resentment and dissatisfaction.

However, Jiraiya understood, but was powerless to change it for the time being.

It's far too complicated.

Moreover, even though Jiraiya is now the Hokage, Konoha is not entirely under his control.

However, given the current situation, Jiraiya felt that taking Sasuke as his disciple would be more beneficial than harmful, so he wanted to talk to Fugaku.

Jiraiya hadn't even arrived at the Uchiha clan's territory yet, but someone else had already come first.

The Fugaku family.

Faced with Hiruzen Sarutobi's sudden visit, Fugaku dared not be disrespectful in the slightest.

Even though Sarutobi is no longer the Hokage, he is still someone the Uchiha clan cannot afford to offend.

Mikoto brought over some tea.

Then, Sarutobi and Fugaku chatted for a few minutes.

Fugaku remained calm and, although he knew that Sarutobi must have come for a reason, he did not ask.

Sarutobi couldn't resist getting to the point first.

When Fugaku learned of Sarutobi's purpose for coming, he was quite surprised.

Unexpectedly, Sarutobi came this time wanting to take Sasuke as his apprentice.

However, after the initial surprise, Fugaku calmed down and realized it wasn't too strange.

Because of the light barrier, Sasuke is becoming increasingly important, both to the Uchiha clan and to Konoha Village.

If Sarutobi had wanted to take Sasuke as his apprentice before the light screen appeared, Fugaku would definitely have been very excited.

But now, Fugaku is in a dilemma.

Given the precedents of Shisui and Itachi, Fugaku really didn't want Sasuke to have too much contact with Sarutobi, let alone become Sarutobi's disciple. In addition, the elders within the Uchiha clan would definitely object.

As for becoming Sarutobi's disciple, that means joining the Hokage lineage and having the potential to become Hokage in the future, but the prerequisite is that one cannot be an Uchiha.

Even if Sarutobi told Fugaku in person that the Uchiha clan would produce a Hokage someday, Fugaku wouldn't believe it.

Before the appearance of the light screen, Fugaku still harbored some illusions, but after several live broadcasts on the light screen, he also came to terms with reality.

Seeing that Fugaku remained silent, Sarutobi felt somewhat displeased.

But just then, Jiraiya came to visit.

"Why is Jiraiya here too?" Sarutobi wondered.

Fugaku got up and went out to greet Jiraiya.

Jiraiya was somewhat surprised to see Sarutobi.

Next, Jiraiya didn't keep them in suspense and directly stated his purpose.

Fugaku:……

First it was Sarutobi, then Jiraiya, and now they all want to take Sasuke as their apprentice. What is Fugaku supposed to say about that?
In any case, Fugaku was not happy at the moment; he only felt extremely troubled.

……

Sarutobi and Jiraiya stayed at Fugaku's house for more than an hour before leaving, and this was of course not kept from the Uchiha elders.

As soon as Sarutobi and Jiraiya left, several elders came looking for Fugaku.

Upon seeing Fugaku, the elders immediately began to ask him questions.

"They all want to take Sasuke as their disciple?"

"Hmph! I think he has ill intentions."

"Fugaku, don't make a mistake."

“Sasuke is the future of our clan, and we will never allow him to be ruined by you.”

……

The elders didn't have much respect for Fugaku.

Fugaku's face darkened, his eyes turned red, and his three-tomoe mirror image transformed into a kaleidoscope.

These elders are all only at the three-comma level.

Even the combined power of several pairs of three-tomoe eyes cannot compare to Fugaku's kaleidoscope eyes.

All I can say is that the difference between the Kaleidoscope and the Three-Tomoe is too great.

Kaleidoscopes are also Fugaku's source of confidence.

Without those kaleidoscopes, Fugaku wouldn't have been able to secure his position as clan leader.

These elders all had the idea of ​​removing Fugaku from his position as clan head, but on the one hand, Fugaku's two sons were promising, and on the other hand, Fugaku himself possessed the Kaleidoscope.

Even though the elders did not remove Fugaku from his position as clan head, Fugaku's prestige within the clan was not high.

The elders' reactions were exactly what Fugaku had expected.

"I know what to do, and besides... I am the clan leader." Fugaku stared coldly at the elders with his kaleidoscope eyes.

At this moment, Fugaku also hardened up.

However, Fugaku had never been this tough in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and others.

Some within the Uchiha clan viewed Fugaku as a bully only within his own ranks, while others saw it as a display of great wisdom.

The elders all looked grim.

……

Hokage Building.

Jiraiya and Sarutobi were talking.

The two had the same idea and decided to take Sasuke as their disciple.

At this moment, Sarutobi, holding his pipe and smoking, said, "You should already realize Sasuke's importance. If he becomes my disciple, I can..."

However, Sarutobi was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"If Sasuke becomes the second Orochimaru..." Jiraiya's expression was unusually serious.

Sarutobi fell silent.

Even setting aside Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade also had their share of problems.

Of course, it's also inappropriate to put all the blame on Sarutobi.

Jiraiya just felt that if Sasuke really became Sarutobi's disciple, it might not be a good thing for the village.

As for Sarutobi, he also didn't really want Sasuke to become Jiraiya's disciple.

After a while, someone knocked on the door.

Jiraiya: "Come in!"

As soon as the door opened, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu appeared.

Upon seeing Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, Sarutobi's face lit up with joy, while Jiraiya frowned.

Having learned the situation, Mitokado and Homura naturally supported Sarutobi.

This is not surprising at all, as both Mitokado and Homura are staunch supporters of Sarutobi.

Jiraiya sighed inwardly. Since he became Hokage, many things had changed.

The main reason is the Uchiha clan behind Sasuke.

This is a major problem in the village.

Furthermore, the screen displayed that Sasuke is one of the Twins of Destiny.

The reasons behind Sasuke becoming Jiraiya's disciple and Sarutobi's disciple are completely different.

Suddenly, Jiraiya found it amusing. He and the old man were arguing endlessly, but would the Uchiha clan allow one of them to become Sasuke's teacher?

Judging from Fugaku's reaction, you can tell that the Uchiha won't compromise easily this time.

But judging from the old man's expression, he wouldn't give up easily.

Not long after, F3 and Jiraiya parted on bad terms.

Jiraiya is considering having Tsunade return as soon as possible.

"If Tsunade were in the village..." Jiraiya thought to himself.

……

Sarutobi, who had just left the Hokage Building, was also pondering something.

Sarutobi, however, was thinking about getting Danzo back.

Sarutobi felt very uncomfortable without Danzo in the village.

"It's time to get Danzo back soon," Sarutobi thought to himself. The daimyo's thoughts had been altered by Kotoamatsukami, and in the village, with Sarutobi, En, and Koharu, it would be easy for him to clear Danzo's name.

However, Danzo's defection is a fact.

Even if Danzo is exonerated, he still bears some responsibility for his crimes!

Therefore, Danzo should properly atone for his sins after he returns.

There's no other way; we can't let Danzo off too easily, or something bad might happen.

Danzo was capable, daring, and ambitious.

Mitokado and Homura, who were standing next to Sarutobi, were unaware of his thoughts.

At this moment, one could still see the dissatisfaction with Jiraiya on the faces of Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu.

"Perhaps making Jiraiya Hokage was a mistake," said Koharu Utatane.

Mitokado Homura gave a wry smile. He had only made Jiraiya Hokage out of necessity.

Otherwise, Hiruzen would definitely have continued as Hokage, and the Fifth Hokage wouldn't have appeared so quickly.

Jiraiya wasn't having an easy time either, and Homura Mitokado wasn't either! When Hiruzen was Hokage, he was very comfortable, but now things are much worse.

Koharu, who had switched dorm rooms, also felt a sense of loss.

"No matter how important Sasuke is, Sasuke is Sasuke, and the Uchiha are the Uchiha. We can't change things just because of Sasuke." Koharu Utatane said to Sarutobi with a serious expression.

“I know what’s going on,” Sarutobi said calmly.

Then, Sarutobi once again reminisced about Danzo's time.

Where is Azang? What is he doing?
……

As soon as the light screen ended, Danzo closed his eyes.

Danzo had been away from Konoha for some time, and it wasn't that he didn't want to go back.

But Danzo planned to wait until his strength had increased further.

Once Danzo returns to Konoha, he will be in charge of the village.

The person in charge of Konoha is neither Hiruzen nor Jiraiya, but Danzo.

"It'll be soon, not too long~" Danzo thought to himself.

At this moment, Danzo also thought of his close friend.

In Danzo's heart, he only had one true friend, Hiruzen Sarutobi. As for Mitokado Homura and others, they were not even close to being true friends.

Without Danzo, Hiruzen would definitely be no good!

Perhaps Hiruzen is hoping for his return now, but once he returns to Konoha, Hiruzen will definitely regret it.

Suddenly, a messenger hawk flew in.

As soon as the ninja hawk landed not far in front of Danzo, someone immediately stepped forward, took the secret letter, and handed it to Danzo.

Opening his eyes, Danzo took the letter and quickly read it through.

It concerns the Akatsuki organization.

Danzo considered the Akatsuki organization a significant danger and believed it would be best to destroy it.

Danzo also coveted Nagato's Rinnegan.

Back then, because he coveted the Rinnegan, Danzo collaborated with Hanzo, causing Yahiko's death and resulting in Nagato losing both of his legs.

This is a deep-seated hatred.

Hanzo is dead, but Danzo is still alive.

Nagato and Konan will definitely seek revenge on him.

The image of Pain destroying Konoha appeared on the screen, which filled Danzo with both shock and rage.

Now, Danzo has sent some of his subordinates to gather intelligence on the Akatsuki organization, and when the time is right, Danzo will begin his operation.

Danzo wouldn't fail twice, since he didn't get the Rinnegan last time.

……

In Amegakure, the rain was still drizzling.

However, this rain was not a natural phenomenon, but rather caused by Pain's ninjutsu.

Through the rain, Payne's senses spread throughout the entire village.

Even for a Kage-level ninja, it would be very difficult to infiltrate Amegakure without being detected by Pain.

However, Pain's Rain Tiger Freedom Technique had already been exposed by the light screen.

Therefore, seeing that it was raining in Amegakure, probably no one would dare to sneak in.

Of course, there were also ninjas who were proficient in water jutsu and were arrogant, thinking that they could infiltrate Amegakure without being detected by Pain.

Outside the village, there are also Rain Ninja patrolling.

From the top floor of the tower, Nagato's gaze swept towards the edge of the village.

He sensed that ninjas had infiltrated the village, but only on the edge of it.

Although the edge of the village was within Payne's perception range, he couldn't perceive it very clearly.

It seems there are some daring ninjas again, but they're not brave enough and only dare to linger on the edge of Amegakure.

A hint of disdain flashed in Nagato's eyes.

Instead of immediately sending Payne there, they observed the situation.

……

Two water-style ninjas infiltrated Amegakure, but due to their fear of the Rinnegan, they only stayed on the edge of the village.

Some intelligence can also be gathered on the outskirts of the village.

Both of these ninjas were subordinates of Danzo.

Danzo planned to take action against the Akatsuki organization, but he needed to gather intelligence on them, so he sent out some of his subordinates.

To gather intelligence on the Akatsuki organization, Danzo certainly wouldn't just send two ninjas, but more than a dozen.

To avoid being detected by Pain, both ninjas were extremely cautious.

However, these two ninjas underestimated Pain.

Despite their precautions, Payne sensed them the moment they stepped into the village.

As time passed, the two ninjas had been on the edge of Amegakure for more than half an hour.

If they think they haven't been discovered, they should consider whether to go deeper into the village to gather intelligence.

After all, the intelligence gathered on the outskirts of the village is extremely limited.

Before the two ninjas could make a decision, Pain appeared.

Of the six Pains, only the Deva Path came.

It was made from Yahiko's corpse.

Of the six Pains, Pain's Deva Path is the strongest.

If it weren't for the light screen revealing the existence of Nagato, few people would know of his existence and would assume that Pain was the leader of Akatsuki.

Tendou stood on the roof's drainage pipe, looking down indifferently at the two ninjas.

It's clear that both of these ninjas are quite skilled in water-style techniques.

As for the origins of these two ninjas, it is currently unclear.

However, if we capture them first and then read their memories, we can find out where these two ninjas came from.

"No, I was discovered."

"Get out!"

The two ninjas were very decisive; knowing they had been exposed, they chose to retreat immediately.

But to escape right under the nose of the Heavenly Dao? These two ninjas are overthinking it.

It's not that no ninja could escape from under the nose of the Heavenly Dao, but these two ninjas were not among them.

With a wave of his hand, the Heavenly Dao unleashed its Myriad Manifestations Pull, a suction force acting on the two ninjas from a distance.

The two ninjas were involuntarily lifted into the air, heading towards the heavens.

Only then did the two ninjas realize the power of the Rinnegan.

This is only a small fraction of the power of the Rinnegan.

Heaven has not yet exerted its full power.

As they approached the Heavenly Path, the two ninjas drew shuriken and kunai.

However, in the face of Heaven's will, the two ninjas' counterattacks were meaningless.

In the blink of an eye, the will of Heaven had rendered the two ninjas lying on the ground.

Struggling to get up, the two ninjas attempted suicide, but Tiandao intervened and stopped them.

It will be easier to read their memories if these two ninjas are alive.

If they die, their memories might be erased, so let's keep them alive for now.
