Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

The longer she remained Hokage, the more she wanted to give her predecessor, the Third Hokage, a good beating and demand an explanation for leaving her with so much of a mess.

The highly independent roots are one thing, but even if they don't exist in a form they'd like, they ultimately cease to exist.

but!

The Uchiha clan, one of the symbols and pillars of Konoha and a guarantee of its strength, was completely wiped out by the Third Hokage. Now, there are even more Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Sasuke, and another unknown Uchiha who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. These three people, who should have been on Konoha's side, are now standing on the opposite side of Konoha.

The thought of this made Tsunade feel a sense of absurdity.

As a member of the Senju clan, although I don't particularly like the Uchiha, I don't hate them to the point of wanting to exterminate the entire clan.

How could those old guys like the three generations of old men, like Shimura Danzo, hate each other to this extent?

Itachi could never have wiped out the Uchiha clan so quietly.

She couldn't believe that the Third Hokage, who had been sending ANBU ninjas to monitor the Uchiha clan's every move, hadn't received any news that night.

They were all from the same village. Among the many Uchiha clan members who died were not only the elderly and children, but also many ordinary people who had no ninja aptitude whatsoever.

Was it really necessary to go to such extremes?

Tsunade sighed.

The consequences of doing so can only be borne by the person who came later.

"Kakashi"

After this mission, Kakashi had a vague idea about the Sharingan in his body and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly heard Tsunade call him back.

Kakashi paused, looking at Tsunade.

Tsunade sighed slightly and then solemnly informed him, "Given the current situation, the village can no longer turn a blind eye to Sasuke. I will now officially issue a notice designating Sasuke as an S-rank rogue ninja of Konoha."

As an ally of Konoha, the Fire Temple, having suffered considerable losses, must give an explanation to the Tsuchigumo clan.

As one of the masterminds, Sasuke was witnessed by too many people.

If Sasuke is not defined as a rogue ninja, then Konoha's prestige will be severely damaged.

Even if Tsunade was unwilling, she had no choice but to do so.

To be honest, Danzo, who had just become the interim Hokage in the original timeline, was not wrong to officially designate Sasuke as a Konoha rogue ninja.

The reason Sasuke wasn't previously defined as a rogue ninja was because he was quite well-behaved during that period, and the enemies he killed were people on Konoha's blacklist, such as Orochimaru, Deidara, and Itachi Uchiha.

However, at that time, with the Five Kage Summit about to be held, the news that Sasuke had defeated and taken away the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki had already spread throughout the ninja world.

If this still doesn't officially label Sasuke a rogue ninja, then a major conflict will erupt between Konoha and Kumogakure.

After all, if Sasuke wasn't a rogue ninja, then formally he would still be a Konoha ninja.

The Konoha ninja kidnapped the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki from the Kumogakure. This is definitely the prelude to war.

The situation is similar now.

Kakashi isn't Naruto; he wouldn't be as naive as Naruto to run to the Raikage and beg for Sasuke's forgiveness.

Understanding Tsunade's predicament, he remained silent for a moment before nodding and saying:

"I understand."

After Sasuke left the village, Kakashi knew this day would come sooner or later.

Now, I just hope that Naruto won't be too sad or have too many unrealistic fantasies after hearing this news.

Chapter 138 Itachi's Actions

Ding ding ding~~~

The crisp wind chimes swayed in the breeze.

Samehada suddenly appeared in front of him and attacked, but before he could react, he was pulled back from the ninja whose chakra had been drained.

Just as Kisame was about to turn and leave, he suddenly saw something, reached out his palm, and pulled out a newly updated list of wanted rogue ninjas from the corpse of a dead ninja.

"Itachi, look what I see!"

Kisame quickly flipped through the pages, his eyes lighting up. He smiled at Itachi, who was sitting on a large rock nearby, and said...

"Uchiha Sasuke, Konoha's S-rank rogue ninja, was charged with leaving the village without authorization, invading the Fire Temple, and invading the Tsuchigumo clan. Haha, I didn't expect that your brother Itachi would cause so much trouble after not seeing you for a while."

Uchiha Itachi, who was resting with his eyes closed on the large rock, opened them, and the black three-tomoe jade pendants swirled slightly in his blood-red pupils.

"Wait, it's not over yet."

Kisame retrieved another black market bounty poster from the dead ninja. After reading the latest page, he said with some surprise,

"Itachi, your brother's bounty on the black market has reached thirty million. Tsk tsk, such a huge amount. Be careful of Kakuzu. He definitely won't let this money-making opportunity slip by."

Sasuke's bounty on the black market is the same as that of Jiraiya.

Although he was not as strong as the latter, as the only surviving member of the Uchiha clan in Konoha, and with the added benefit of the Sharingan, Sasuke's value was greatly enhanced, making him a member of the same generation as Jiraiya.

The reason it didn't reach Sarutobi Asuma's standard of 35 million is...

This is mainly due to the fact that Sarutobi Asuma also had the advantage of being the son of the Third Hokage.

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha remained silent, only his gaze seemed to drift into the distance.

However, a flippant new voice suddenly interrupted beside the two, saying, "Kakuzu is busy being a mercenary right now, fighting for a small country, and can't take care of Itachi's brother for the time being. Besides, even if he wanted to get those 30 million, he would have to find Uchiha Sasuke first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jue, half black and half white, rose from the ground, enveloped by a large tree.

Kisame, who wasn't particularly surprised by Zetsu's sudden appearance, asked, "Even you don't have any news about Itachi?"

“Even the Sage of Six Paths is not omnipotent, let alone us.” Unlike his previous flippant tone, a deep voice rang out.

It was Black Zetsu who said this.

It wasn't lying.

The ninja world is too vast.

Even if all 100,000 White Zetsu were sent out, it would be impossible to find out all the information about the ninja world, not to mention that only a small number of White Zetsu are currently active outside.

With Hagoromo Gengetsu behind Sasuke, finding their trail will not be an easy task.

"Is this the time the leader has come for a new mission?" Itachi finally asked.

However, he didn't ask about his younger brother, but rather the reason for Jue's arrival.

White Zetsu looked at Itachi, and his flippant voice rang out again: "It's not a mission, but the leader asked me to ask you, Itachi, who else in the Uchiha clan besides you has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

"The Mangekyou Sharingan?" Itachi's expression shifted slightly as he asked calmly, "Why do you ask that?"

"Oh~~ You guys don't know?" Bai Jue exaggeratedly opened his mouth wide and spread his hands, full of surprise.

Black Zetsu, too lazy to read any further, stated directly, "A man with the Mangekyou Sharingan has appeared beside Sasuke, and the leader is very curious about this person."

Although they haven't been able to find Sasuke's hiding place yet, White Zetsu has managed to find out about the events of the previous battles at the Fire Temple and Mount Katsuragi.

Pain instructed the newly emerged Mangekyou Sharingan user to contact him and invite him to join his party.

After all, the Sharingan is very effective at capturing tailed beasts.

As for the conflict between the other party and Itachi Uchiha, Pain believed that as long as he was there, everything could be suppressed.

After learning the whole story, Itachi remained calm and shook his head, saying, "I know nothing about this person."

"Just as I suspected." White Zetsu, who had already given up hope, shrugged and teased his leader, "Pain, didn't you think that if the Uchiha clan still had a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, it wouldn't have been so easy for Itachi to wipe out the clan?"

Black Zetsu gave Itachi a deep look.

Without saying anything more, just as he had come in a hurry and left in a hurry, after bidding farewell, Jue once again retreated into the ground.

"Itachi, you need to be careful from now on. Since that man who also has the Mangekyou Sharingan is with your brother, you can imagine how he treats you."

Kisame kindly reminded Itachi.

Itachi hummed in agreement, indicating that he understood.

In truth, he had almost figured out the truth compared to the clueless people in Konoha.

As someone who experienced it firsthand, Itachi knew all the truth about Uchiha Shisui.

When a new user of the Mangekyou Sharingan appeared in Zetsudo, he immediately thought of Shisui's eyes.

One of them is being kept by him. The other has been taken by Danzo.

Danzo is dead, and the Root organization has been completely destroyed.

As the instigator of all this, Hagoromo Gengetsu most likely stole Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan from Danzo.

Sasuke followed Hagoromo Gengetsu.

It would be quite reasonable for Sasuke to have another Mangekyou Sharingan user by his side.

As for who uses the Mangekyou Sharingan?

Itachi didn't know.

Perhaps it is Yu Yi Xuan Yue herself.

Or perhaps, they were among the group of people who broke free from the fishing nets back then.

The Mangekyou Sharingan is not the Byakugan; not just anyone can use it smoothly after acquiring it.

Even someone as exceptionally talented as Kakashi could only completely change his fighting style, even making his chakra reserves a unit of measurement.

"Uchiha Hagoromo Gengetsu"

"What on earth are you going to do?"

A hint of worry flashed in Itachi's eyes as he realized that Sasuke was drifting further and further away from Konoha.

Sasuke's decision to follow Hagoromo Gengetsu instead of Orochimaru stemmed from a sense of uncertainty.

He knew Orochimaru inside and out.

But Yu Yi Xuan Yue was like a veil of mystery, something he could never quite fathom.

In hindsight, my worries have most likely come true.

"Perhaps we should go and see for ourselves. If things deviate too far from the right path, then Sasuke will only be..."
