Naruto: I, Naruto, started with the Rinnegan

He actually possesses the Rinnegan! No wonder Madara called him a troublesome enemy.

"May I ask why you are here in Konoha?"

Now that the Uchiha clan has just been wiped out, Konoha is at its weakest point. The sudden appearance of the legendary Rinnegan means Itachi cannot afford to be careless.

Upon hearing this, Naruto turned his gaze to Itachi and sneered, "Konoha? Isn't this Uchiha clan territory?"

Itachi firmly stated, "The Uchiha clan belongs to Konoha!"

"So you killed all the Uchiha who didn't want to belong to Konoha... Oh, no, I misspoke, you killed all the Uchiha except your brother... Regardless of whether they wanted to belong to Konoha or not, regardless of whether they were male or female, regardless of whether they were old or young, even infants who had just opened their eyes... Everyone died."

The more Naruto talked, the angrier he became.

He had no intention of getting involved with the Uchiha clan, but seeing their miserable state, he felt compelled to speak out.

"Uchiha Itachi, tell me, are people born into the Uchiha clan inherently sinful, inherently destined to die?"

Itachi remained silent for a long time before finally saying calmly, "You need not trouble yourself with the Uchiha's affairs."

"I don't intend to concern myself with your family's messy affairs, but seeing you, this traitor, I can't help but feel sorry for the Uchiha clan... What a misfortune for the family, a thousand-year legacy destroyed by a lunatic. I wonder if your father regrets... not shooting you... cough cough, not strangling you when you were born."

This insult... Itachi couldn't stand it. His three tomoe spun rapidly, forming a kaleidoscope that stared directly at Naruto.

——Amaterasu!

"Useless!" Naruto raised his hand, using the Sealing Technique Absorption Seal to block the raging black flames.

Just then, the Nine-Tails suddenly shouted, "Watch out!"

Swish!

A cold glint flashed as a kunai pierced Naruto's neck.

Naruto's pupils constricted as he switched skills at top speed.

Shinra Tensei!

boom!

Just as Obito was about to succeed, he was sent flying backward, his internal organs displaced, and he spat out blood before crashing heavily to the ground.

Naruto touched his neck and felt a wet, sticky sensation. He looked at his palm and saw a patch of bright red blood.

A wave of fear washed over me; I almost died.

"Thank you, Kurama, thanks to you."

Nine-Tailed Fox snorted coldly and said, "It's all thanks to me, so you'd better cherish this little life and not make me waste my efforts."

"Yes, I know."

A shadowy figure peeked out from Naruto's pocket: "Are you injured?"

"It was a minor injury, it's healed now."

As he spoke, Naruto's neck wound healed.

Ying said worriedly, "Stop fighting, let's leave quickly."

"Wait a little longer."

Naruto was unwilling to give up until he turned the tide. He looked at Obito, who possessed White Zetsu cells and had a strong life force. He had already stood up again and seemed to be fine.

Don't forget your character. Naruto arrogantly said, "Substitute, you actually managed to scratch me. You have enough to be proud of for the rest of your life."

—The Guiding Force of All Things!

The buildings floated in the air, then accelerated as they plummeted to the ground, crashing into Obito.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Old man, your move is useless against me." Obito entered Hollowfication mode, and all attacks passed right through him, unable to cause him any harm.

"Substitute shift worker, you should just kill yourself quickly, this is your only chance to atone for your sins."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"The Rinnegan...it's truly captivating!"

Danzo, who had been hiding in the shadows, looked up at Naruto in the sky, a glint of greed in his eyes.

The man behind him respectfully asked, "Sir, when shall we make our move?"

"Let's wait until they're both severely weakened..."

Both the Rinnegan and the Mangekyou Sharingan will fall into Danzo's hands.

At that time, the Hokage position will be mine...

Just as Danzo was lost in his passionate reverie, Itachi walked past him with a calm expression.

Upon seeing Itachi passing by, Danzo was taken aback. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be fighting the enemy?"

Itachi said coldly, "The enemy can fly and has methods specifically designed to counter me, so there's no point in me staying."

"And what about your Susanoo...?"

"My eye power was too depleted tonight, so I can't use it."

Danzo didn't believe him and forcefully ordered, "I command you to stay and help Konoha seize the Rinnegan."

"Don't eat too much, or you'll burst your stomach."

Itachi glanced at Danzo's right eye, which was bound with bandages, and thought to himself, "Does he really think the Rinnegan is so easy to steal?"

"Can I take that to mean... you're speaking for the enemy?"

"No, I'm advising you not to rashly create a powerful enemy for Konoha."

It's one thing to court disaster, but it's another to drag Konoha down with you.

Having said that, Itachi ignored Danzo's words and turned to leave.

At this time...my younger brother should be back by now.

Without realizing it, Itachi quickened his pace.

"You bastard!"

Watching Itachi's departing figure, Danzo's face darkened. His pawn was becoming increasingly out of control...

"My lord, since the Uchiha clan has already been wiped out, why don't we make it even more complete?"

Danzo was quite tempted by his subordinate's suggestion.

In short, Danzo had two life goals.

One is to become Hokage and completely suppress the Third Hokage.

The second is to carry on his teacher's legacy and destroy the Uchiha clan.

With only two kills needed to reach the second target...

Danzo pondered for a long time, but ultimately shook his head and refused.

"Konoha needs Itachi to take the blame. If Root kills him, the blame will fall entirely on Root... This is not conducive to my becoming Hokage."

The blame for the extermination of the clan was too great; even Danzo needed someone to take the fall.

Gen and his group prepared to continue their covert observation.

Suddenly, a furious shout came from the sky.

"You rat in the gutter, who gave you permission to spy on me?"

The floating houses and buildings all turned around and crashed to their roots.

"Protect Lord Danzo!"

Several Root ninjas, in front of Danzo, formed hand seals and jointly unleashed Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!

The upright rock walls and the collapsed buildings collided violently.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The enormous sound echoed throughout most of Konoha, and billowing dust covered the sky.

Naruto is very familiar with the "no harm from smoke" principle.

Naruto flew past at high speed, using Shinra Tensei to clear a path. He planned to take advantage of his still-strong body to kill Danzo in one fell swoop and eliminate the source of danger to his future life.

As for Obito...

That bastard is really hard to kill; I'll deal with him next time.

boom!

boom!

boom!

It was as if three giant hammers were violently pounding the ground.

The earth cracked open, rocks flew everywhere, and a huge crater appeared in the middle.

At the edge of the giant crater, Danzo and three surviving Root ninjas crawled out of the ground in a disheveled state, while the rest of the Root ninjas were all dead.

The magnitude of this loss caused Danzo some pain.
