Naruto: I, Naruto, started with the Rinnegan

"hateful……"

"Sir, the enemy is closing in."

"Run! Run towards the village, and the ninjas will deal with him."

True character is revealed in times of crisis.

Danzo, who speaks eloquently and advocates self-sacrifice, runs faster than anyone else when he himself is the one who might be sacrificed.

He hadn't considered how much damage Naruto's actions of running into the village would cause to Konoha if Naruto were truly ruthless enough.

Of course, it's also possible that Danzo had already considered this.

But in his view, only he could lead Konoha to its peak, and his sacrifice would be Konoha's greatest loss. As for the sacrifices of others... they were just insignificant costs on the road to success.

They pursued and killed him relentlessly.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

With each attack, Naruto's eye power and chakra were quickly depleted.

"Damn it, we'll have to wait until next time, but who knows how many years that will be."

Realizing that the pursuit was hopeless, Naruto couldn't help but lament, "I've accomplished nothing. I failed to kill Obito, and I didn't even kill Danzo."

He has now experienced the consequences of having to have it all.

If we had focused on killing Danzo from the beginning, Danzo would have been gone long ago.

……

Amidst the devastation of the Uchiha clan's territory, Obito gazed thoughtfully: "Who... exactly is the Emperor?"

A person who appeared out of nowhere without any warning.

It was hidden too well.

If White Zetsu hadn't accidentally caught that peculiar puppet, he probably would never have known that another pair of Rinnegan existed in the world.

While Akatsuki is collecting the Tailed Beasts in the future, another organization may be carrying out a much larger plan in the shadows.

Obito cannot accept this.

"The Eye of the Moon Project cannot fail. We must find out the Emperor's identity and eliminate all interference..."

The only clue is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"It seems... I need to find an opportunity to probe the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's strength..."

Obito secretly made a decision.

A rebuke came from the sky.

"Substitute! Kneel down and prepare to die!"

Naruto, who was chasing Danzo, flew back.

Obito quickly assessed his own condition: his body was aging, his stamina was poor, and his eye power needed time to recover.

There will likely be no result; neither side can gain the upper hand.

He immediately said, "Old man, please keep the Rinnegan safe for me. I will come and take it when the time comes."

After uttering those harsh words, Obito disappeared and left as the spatial vortex twisted.

After scaring Obito away, Naruto changed direction and flew over a nearby dilapidated street, where he found the White Zetsu's corpse.

After all that trouble, almost losing my life, I have to make some money back.

"Wait, take her with you too." Ying leaned out and pointed to a female corpse on the ground.

"You look familiar... What was your name again... Oh, I remember now, the great traitor Uchiha Izumi, blind to fall for a filial son... What do you want Uchiha Izumi's corpse for?"

"I'll talk to you later, you take it for me first."

"Alright."

…………

The commotion at the Uchiha clan's territory attracted the attention of the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, who were well-prepared, led a group of elite ninjas and headed menacingly towards the Uchiha clan's territory.

They encountered Danzo, who was alone and fleeing in a disheveled state, and their hearts sank; they had a bad feeling.

"Where is the enemy?"

"Here..." Danzo turned around and looked back at the sky, only to find that the enemy had already disappeared. He had simply been too focused on escaping to notice.

"The enemy was extremely powerful." Danzo casually changed the subject, saying with a heavy heart, "The elite ninjas of Root have been almost completely wiped out this time."

Koharu Utatane's face darkened: "The Uchiha clan's strength is actually this great..."

"Not the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha clan is extinct. It's an unfamiliar ninja who possesses..."

The Rinnegan—is this a topic that can be discussed?

After a moment's thought, Danzo decided he couldn't reveal it, as the Rinnegan was a crucial asset for him to become Hokage and couldn't be given away lightly.

Just like the Rinnegan he encountered in the Land of Rain, Danzo intended to conceal this as well, instead saying, "He possessed extremely powerful flying abilities, launching heavy objects from high altitudes and killing many of my subordinates."

"Is that all? Danzo, are you deliberately hiding something?"

Mitomon felt something was wrong. Root were all elite ninjas; how could they be so easily sacrificed?

Danzo's face darkened, as if he had been greatly insulted.

"Menyan, what do you mean? Do you think I, Danzo, am just a despicable person who deliberately conceals information and disregards the interests of Konoha?"

Koharu Utatane quickly tried to lighten the mood, "Danzo, Homura didn't mean it that way, you misunderstood."

Startled by Danzo's expression, Mitokado Homura quickly apologized, admitting that he had misspoke.

Danzo didn't press the matter further, but instead said with considerable resentment, "Where's Hiruzen? Why haven't I seen him?"

I'm being chased, and you're not even coming to my rescue...

Danzo felt that his bond with the Third Hokage was nothing special.

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has gone missing. Hiruzen has gone to find the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

It's obvious that the Third Hokage didn't want to be involved in the Uchiha clan's demise at all; he wanted to stay as far away from it as possible.

.........

The forest, where Naruto usually trains, is where the Third Hokage brings specialized sensory ninjas to search for Naruto.

The third generation asked, "Any clues?"

Inuzuka Tsurugi, a Jonin of the Inuzuka clan, said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, the Jinchuriki... seems to have vanished into thin air."

The Jonin of the Aburame clan said, "To be precise, it's more like it flew away."

A Jonin from the Hyuga clan said, "I think so too."

"Is it related to that thing flying in the sky tonight...?"

The Third Hokage fell into deep thought.

.........

The battle between Naruto and Obito left the Uchiha clan in complete disarray.

This caused a small problem for Itachi.

He wanted to provoke his younger brother.

However, the family was wiped out, all the clansmen died, and the scene of the violent deaths of the parents was destroyed.

It works, but it doesn't feel exciting enough.

What should I do?

No problem, I have short videos, guaranteed to be authentic and exciting enough.

The thoughtful older brother Itachi deliberately left the clan's territory and intercepted Sasuke on his way home from school.

He then proceeded to beat up Sasuke, who was completely bewildered.

—Tsukuyomi!

Then, in a maddening manner, he repeatedly played famous scenes of his parents' deaths for Sasuke.

Bang!

He kicked the mentally deranged Sasuke away, sending him crashing heavily against the wall.

Itachi coldly replied, "You're not worth killing... my foolish little brother... if you want to kill me... hate! loathe! Then live a vile life! Run away! Run away... and then eke out a living!"

Watching Itachi Uchiha's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Sasuke, who was still acting like a spoiled child in his brother's arms just yesterday, now wailed in a hoarse voice.

"Uchiha Itachi! I'm going to kill you!!!"

The night was as black as ink, and shadows obscured the light.

In the Land of Fire, on a desolate mountain far from Konoha, Naruto leaned against a tree, resting with his eyes closed.

The shadow crawled out of Naruto's pocket, looked up at Naruto's tired face, and its eyes were full of guilt and apology.

I'm sorry, it's all my fault...
