Chapter 183 Naruto: I'm here to help you!
"Crunch crunch~~~"

In the distance, on a tall tree branch, hidden among the green leaves, lies a handsome man, a sight to behold once in five thousand years.

That's right, this person is none other than Naruto Uzumaki!
Ahem, actually, this title is not an exaggeration at all. It was awarded to Naruto by the Ninja World Daily after conducting a full 10,000 surveys.

of course.

Among the options for the most handsome man in five thousand years, only four are available: Naruto Uzumaki, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, and Minami Hatake.

But tell me, isn't that right?
what?
Who is Nan'o Hatake?

You don't recognize him, do you?
Then hurry up and choose the one you know!
In conclusion, after more than 10,000 votes, Naruto's looks completely surpass those of all humans in the past five thousand years.

He was hailed as the most handsome man in five thousand years!

Although Naruto saw the survey, he simply wrote "Old man on the subway with his phone.jpg".

Naruto sat comfortably, holding a bag of Lay's cucumber-flavored potato chips in his left hand, while his right hand directly used the special technique he learned from Choji—the technique of holding potato chips between his fingers.

Then he put all the potato chips into his mouth one by one.

"Ok?"

Naruto paused for a moment in confusion, then looked over there and saw the two of them standing still.

Why did the two people who were fighting suddenly stop moving?
Oh.

After a moment, Naruto understood.

It turns out they were engaged in a contest of illusions.

"Illusion."

This is indeed one of the Uchiha clan's specialties.

An Uchiha who can't use genjutsu is not a good Uchiha.

Seeing that the two remained still and there was no longer any spectacle of 'brothers fighting each other' to watch, Naruto, having nothing else to do, began to assess the strength of their genjutsu.

Naruto was well aware of Sasuke's genjutsu abilities.

Ever since Team 7 was formed, Sasuke has been constantly pestering him, wanting to have a match with him in the training space.

The two sparred countless times in the training space, during which their illusions also clashed frequently.

Of course, the main content of the genjutsu battle was: Sasuke trying his best to resist Naruto's genjutsu attacks.

Sasuke's genjutsu is quite powerful.

Naruto gave insincere praise.

You can't just bluntly say: Sasuke's genjutsu is really too weak, can you?

Let's give Sasuke some face.

As for Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu abilities?
"Crunch crunch~~~"

As Naruto put the potato chip in his mouth again and chewed, enjoying the delicious taste for a moment, a memory flashed in his eyes.

Naruto and Itachi Uchiha had met in the arena.

In terms of strength
Naruto tried hard to recall for a moment, but couldn't remember anything.

This person seems to have left no impression at all.

If this happens, there's only one possibility: Itachi Uchiha's strength was so weak that Naruto barely remembered him.

There are too many enemies in the duel arena; only those who are slightly stronger will leave an impression.

I've heard that Itachi Uchiha is known for his mastery of genjutsu (illusionary techniques).

No wonder I had no impression of him.

Because with genjutsu, if the difference in stats between the two is too great, it will have no effect on Naruto at all.

I can't recall the exact strength of the Uchiha clan, but they were probably stronger than Sasuke!
Sasuke will definitely lose this battle.

There is no doubt about this.

Ultimately, the Uchiha clan's genjutsu abilities are a contest of eye power.

The difference in eye power between the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Three-Tomoe Sharingan is like an insurmountable chasm!
After all, the evolution of the Sharingan from the three-tomoe Sharingan to the Mangekyou Sharingan is a qualitative change.

Surely a kaleidoscope can't end up losing to a three-tomoe gem, right?
but.

Naruto stared at Sasuke, giving him an encouraging look.

Hey, you better stand up straight!
Cheer up! Don't embarrass yourself!
Although I didn't expect you to win, at least don't look so pathetic!

"Crunch crunch~~~Delicious!"

Naruto finished eating the potato chips in his hand and then reached into the bag.

Hmm? Only one piece left?
Upon noticing this, Naruto instinctively looked to his left and right.

Fortunately, Choji wasn't there.

Thinking about Choji, he seems to have some kind of obsession with the last potato chip.

Naruto always felt that Choji was a lot like Stephen Chow's sixth junior brother in Shaolin Soccer.

The one played by Fat Boy Cong.

The sixth junior brother's obsession with eggs is just as strong as Choji's obsession with the last potato chip.

Naruto sensed that Choji was indeed still in the village, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's so far away, surely the Flying Thunder God Technique can't just steal his last piece, can it?
He wanted to eat it right away, but after thinking about it, Naruto stared at the potato chip and fell into deep thought.

"never mind!"

Naruto sighed. What could he do? The two were good friends.

swoosh~
With a flash of golden light, Naruto suddenly disappeared, but the next instant, with another flash of golden light, Naruto returned.

He remained in that relaxed and comfortable sitting posture, as if he had never moved at all.

Meanwhile, inside Konoha Village, a bewildered chubby boy stared blankly at the extra bag of potato chips in his hand.

He opened the potato chip packaging and looked inside; the huge packaging was completely empty.

Not even a single potato chip!
What about the last potato chip?

"Naruto!!!" Choji shouted hoarsely to the sky.

This is clearly not the first time this has happened!

Unfortunately, the culprit had already escaped.

bang~
Naruto took out a brand new bag of potato chips from his backpack and opened it.

He picked up a potato chip with his right hand as usual and put it in his mouth, then looked up and continued to watch the game with boredom—no, to watch the 'battle'.

Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha remained standing still, locked in a standoff.

Judging from appearances alone, it is difficult to determine who has the upper hand.

In this situation, Naruto felt a little bored, and his gaze involuntarily shifted to another person who was providing eye support – Kisame Hoshigaki.

Naruto had never heard of this person before.

I imagine he must be some nobody.

This insignificant person seems to have only average strength?
Naruto has never fought against this kind of character in the arena, so it has no effect whatsoever.

However, the two had only passed by the dumpling shop in a hurry, and now that Naruto saw him in person, he wondered if this person really wasn't a fishman.
Learning from each other, right?

Naruto glanced at Kisame from head to toe and immediately lost interest.

The only thing worth considering about this person is the large sword he's holding; it should be worth a little money if we were to buy it back.

Our gaze returned to the two people engaged in the 'duel'.

Especially when it came to Itachi Uchiha.

Uchiha Itachi!

This was the first time Naruto had met him in real life.

Looking at that cold face, who would have thought that this person was once Naruto's nightmare when he was a child?
That year, Naruto was six years old.

Having been transported to a completely unfamiliar world, Naruto has always been cautious and timid, as if walking on thin ice.

After learning about the power of the Sharingan and even the Mangekyou Sharingan, Naruto began to think more highly of the Uchiha clan.

Who would have thought that on that one night, this person alone would slaughter hundreds of members of the entire Uchiha clan.

Although after so many years, I know many inside stories, such as that he was not alone that night, and that the Uchiha clan was not as strong as I had imagined.

But Naruto at the time had no idea about any of this.
Think about it.

As the largest clan in Konoha, the strongest village in the ninja world, the Uchiha clan should have at least a hundred pairs of three-tomoe Sharingan, and at least a dozen Mangekyou Sharingan, right?
Such a powerful family was wiped out overnight by a thirteen-year-old?

It's truly horrifying!
Just how strong was Itachi Uchiha? Naruto felt back then that the world was incredibly complex and unpredictable!

Unfathomable!!!

It's so dark! It's absolutely dark!

How insane must Itachi Uchiha be to do something like this?

How many of these mentally ill people are there in this world?
Others may not know, but Naruto was completely out of it for those few days, unable to eat or drink, and had a persistent feeling that someone was trying to harm him.

As a result, Naruto skipped school for several days in a row.

He remained hidden in the secure bunker he had built, becoming a true "bunker boy".

of course.

All of the above situations were Naruto's own conjectures when he was only six years old at the time.

Later I found out that the Uchiha clan was just like that?

There aren't many kaleidoscopes!
Uchiha Itachi, is that all?
In the end, it was all for naught!
Now, facing Itachi Uchiha again, facing the man who had been so powerful that his strength was hard to predict at the time, and who had made him feel like he was walking on thin ice during that period, Naruto only felt ridiculous.

However, even after so many years, one question still lingers in Naruto's mind.

Why did Itachi Uchiha do that?
Why would they suddenly turn around and kill their own family?
There is probably no accurate answer to this question unless Itachi Uchiha himself answers it.

Even with all of Danzo's memories, Naruto still couldn't correctly guess what Itachi Uchiha was thinking.

Judging from Danzo's recollections, in terms of this old dog's personal will, he had too much and too deep prejudice against the Uchiha!
Therefore, it is not objective enough.

In particular, there is prejudice against the Uchiha clan.

Naruto closed his eyes and recalled for a moment. Putting aside Danzo Shimura's personal opinion, through the real events in his memories, he discovered that the conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan was already on the verge of irreconcilable conflict and could break out at any time.

If not handled properly, it could lead to a war between the Uchiha clan and Konoha.

From the perspective of someone who came after him, Naruto found it very strange.

How exactly does a family manage to become sworn enemies with the village they live in?
Continue reading Danzo's memories.

Looking back, Naruto discovered that many of these events were actually orchestrated by that old dog Danzo.

Naruto was speechless.

Danzo Shimura, that guy, he really wants to eliminate the Uchiha clan, and he's stirring up trouble everywhere.

There's also the Uchiha clan.

Putting aside Danzo Shimura's own prejudices, the Uchiha clan wasn't exactly innocent either.

Neither of them is entirely innocent!
"Tsk tsk tsk"

Recalling this history, Naruto couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

What a waste! It's such a waste!

The Uchiha clan, such fine cattle and horses... no, such promising talents, and they're all dead like this?
And Naruto.

Whether it was the Second Hokage or the Third Hokage, Naruto, looking through Danzo's memories, felt that their political acumen was rather mediocre!
Treat him to a meal, behead him, or take him in as a dog!
You don't know how to use these three items?

If Naruto came
Hmm, Naruto thought he should probably save his breath for now.

But are the Uchiha clan truly irreconcilable with Konoha?

Naruto thought, not necessarily.

The Hokage aren't all fools; they remember their own fathers trying it out.

Before he became Hokage, he had three disciples, one of whom was an Uchiha.

I wonder what Minato Namikaze, her biological father, was thinking at that time.

Perhaps there really is an element of easing tensions with the Uchiha clan?
Especially after his biological father was confirmed to become the Fourth Hokage.

On the day the news was announced, I'm sure many members of the Uchiha clan were overjoyed.

The Hokage's disciple!
According to the pattern of the Konoha Hokage succession, the future Hokage will definitely be born from one of the father's three disciples.

If an Uchiha becomes the Hokage's disciple, wouldn't that mean he has a chance to ascend to the highest position in the future?

"Hey~"

Thinking of this, Naruto couldn't help but sigh.

such a pity!
The fates of the members of the Water Gate Squad, led by the old man, are truly hard to describe.

In the end, only Kakashi remained; the rest were all dead.

No, one of them would have been better off dead.

Moreover, it was this person, who was better off dead, who was originally the hope of the Uchiha clan, who later directly destroyed the future of the Uchiha clan through one incident.

That is—the Night of the Nine-Tailed Fox!
Uchiha Obito! You've done so many terrible things!!!

Whenever he thought of this, Naruto couldn't help but feel angry.

Suddenly, Naruto's right hand, which was reaching into the bag to grab potato chips, paused.

"it's over?"

Naruto's eyes lit up. The battle between the two was over, and it was time for him to step in!
at the same time.

"Huff, huff~~~"

Once Sasuke emerged from the genjutsu, he could no longer hold on. His legs buckled and he collapsed to his knees, his lungs gurgling violently like a broken bellows.

"Ah~~~!!!"

At the same time, he couldn't help but cover his right eye with his right hand, letting out a shrill and tragic wail.

Sasuke's exposed single eye looked completely blank, as if it were out of focus.

It seems that he can't accept what just happened!

It's hard to imagine what he just encountered in the illusion.

Kisame glanced at Itachi Uchiha, who remained standing, and then at Sasuke Uchiha, who was sitting on the ground groaning. The outcome of their battle was quite obvious.

"It seems that Mr. Itachi has won."

Kisame grinned, a gesture that made his face look slightly ferocious, like a monster.

As expected, Itachi won.

Kisame never doubted this result.

Kisame fully acknowledges Itachi's strength.

"Ah~"

On the other side, the victor, Uchiha Itachi, also let out a low howl and covered his eyes in slight pain.

"Mr. Itachi?"

Kisame looked over in confusion, only to see a line of bloody tears flowing from beneath Itachi's tightly covered hand.

"Your eyes, Mr. Itachi."

"nothing."

Itachi Uchiha's voice remained as cold as ever, as if everything in the world was irrelevant to him.

However, Itachi Uchiha couldn't help but look up at his younger brother, who was sitting on the ground groaning in pain.

'The eye power that Sass gave me is so strong!?'

Itachi Uchiha's eyes couldn't hide his shock.

He was confident that he was in good health and had a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, yet he still almost couldn't suppress Sasuke's three-tomoe Sharingan.

Just how strong is Sasuke's eye power?

In response, Naruto said: Of course! After being tortured for nearly half a year, even a fool would know how to deal with genjutsu!
If it weren't for the uncertainty surrounding Itachi's current stance, Naruto would have suggested that Itachi take his classes to further his studies.

Uchiha Itachi simply watched coldly, remaining silent.

Faced with Sasuke's powerful eyes, Itachi Uchiha was unsure whether the 'time' had come.
Kisame, meanwhile, kept glancing back and forth between the two, his mind deep in thought.

Suddenly, Kisame and Itachi Uchiha's expressions changed simultaneously.

Both of them turned their gazes to a nearby giant tree.

A figure suddenly appeared on the branch of the giant tree.

The newcomer had blond hair and wore a white trench coat, standing coolly high up in the tree.

He smiled, spoke in a relaxed tone, and looked completely at ease, as if he had everything under control.

"Hey~ Sasuke, you look so disheveled!"
