Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

"Are they here?"

"As expected of you, developing two paths simultaneously. At this point, you must have discovered the problem with your body and can only place your bets on Erzhuzi."

"Hearing so many explosive news from Konoha, it wouldn't be you if you didn't come back."

Naruto shook his head; he was naturally referring to taking care of a filial son.

Erzhuzi's ears twitched. "Naruto, what do you mean?"

"That beast is back?"

"Dual-track development... I think I understand what that means!"

Sasuke's eyes instantly activated his Sharingan. "Naruto, I want to kill him!"

"Go."

Without uttering a word, Erzhuzi instantly vanished.

Naruto was saying it on purpose so that Sasuke could hear it.

"Master, ah~"

Karin held a grape to Naruto's lips.

Mina Uzumaki chuckled softly to herself.

In another room, Kushina's face was so gloomy it could drip water.

"Are you really not Misaka?"

"Lady Kushina, I'm really not Lady Mikoto. Like Izumi, I'm a marginal member of the Uchiha clan... On the night of the massacre, we escaped and happened to run into Lord Naruto... We really didn't lie to you!"

Kushina frowned slightly, her gaze still full of suspicion as she scrutinized her.

Wanting to ask another question, Uchiha Izumi suddenly frowned.

"Megumi-neechan, that bastard Itachi Uchiha is back!"

"What?!"

Uchiha Mikoto... Uchiha Megumi was stunned for a moment, then quickly cast a pleading look at Kushina.

"Uh... I'll take you there."

After saying that, he pulled the two women away.

"Mina, let's go out for a bit."

"Yes, Lady Kushina."

The three of them left in a hurry.

After eating a few grapes, Naruto went to the window.

Reach out and gently stroke the sapling.

The sapling immediately used its tender leaves as hands to hug Naruto's wrist.

With a gentle lift, Naruto uprooted the sapling.

"Naruto-sama~"

"When they grow up, they'll grow legs~"

Naruto chuckled as he fed it some nutrients.

A scene flashed through his mind.

Pain carried rice to Konoha, but before he even entered the door, he was kicked away by a large tree.

"Master, can you really hear the plants?"

Xianglin asked curiously.

Naruto turned around. "It's waving at you."

"what?"

"Master,... will it be alright to pull it out?"

"It's okay, it's still small. After a while, it will grow legs and be able to walk on its own."

Karin's eyes widened. "This... in that case, the clan head intends to make every tree in Konoha... Sugokuichi~!"

......

Meanwhile, outside Konoha Village.

Two figures walked slowly forward.

The two were dressed in the same clothes, both wearing red cloud-patterned black robes.

A man said with a strange smile:

"Hey...is this your hometown?"

"It doesn't seem like they suffered any damage; maybe it's just fake news."

"Maybe."

The other man's response was extremely cold.

"This isn't like you at all... Even after leaving, don't you feel anything at all?"

Kisame Hoshigaki tried to see a trace of sadness, or some other expression, on Itachi Uchiha's face.

Unfortunately, Itachi Uchiha maintained an indifferent attitude throughout.

"Maybe there's still a little bit of feeling...maybe not."

As he spoke, Itachi Uchiha activated his Sharingan.

"Who are you... huh?"

"Hey buddy, did someone just go in?"

"I told you not to train with Guy and Kakashi, and now you're hallucinating... Where is everyone?!"

"Uh... okay."

After entering Konoha, Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki found a teahouse and sat down.

He was still wearing a straw hat.

Suddenly, Itachi Uchiha's eyes widened!

He even couldn't help but activate his Sharingan.

His Sharingan spun wildly... Finally, he put down the teacup, his hands still trembling.

Kisame noticed Itachi Uchiha's gaze.

Look up.

There, an old man wearing a tattered version of the Naruto robe was sweeping the street.

At the same time, I also saw a passing villager curse at it and then spit out a mouthful of phlegm.

"That's... the Hokage?"

"Could it be... that in your hometown... the Hokage's divine robe can be worn casually?"

Uchiha Itachi didn't reply, but closed his eyes to process this scene that was so unbelievable.

"Hiruzen, let's go get some tea. We haven't had a break since this morning..."

"Xiaochun is right, we will always be the Hokage and the Hokage's advisors."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded silently, put down his broom, and went to the teahouse with Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane.

But Itachi Uchiha had anticipated this.

He put on a straw hat, put down the money, and said, "Let's go, Kisame."

"Uh... okay."

Kisame didn't know why Itachi Uchiha suddenly wanted to leave, but he still put on a straw hat to cover his face.

"Gentlemen, you've only just sat down..."

The boss suddenly stopped talking.

He glanced at the three people standing in the doorway with a look of disgust.

"Boss, could we have a glass of water?"

"We've been busy since this morning... Please help us."

Hiruzen Sarutobi adopted a very humble posture.

The next moment.

wow-

The tea was poured out.

"Go drink it on the ground!"

"Get out! Get out! Get out!"

"It disgusted all the customers and drove them away!"

As they were talking, the shop owner took a broom out of the shop.

"you!"

"No matter what, we are... Ah! Stop hitting us! We're leaving right now!"

Mitokado Yan wanted to say something more, but unexpectedly, the boss grabbed a broom and chased them out.

In the distance, Itachi Uchiha took in everything, his heart filled with utter shock.

The figures before him were completely different from the three aloof Third Hokage and Hokage advisors he remembered, who spoke of the Will of Fire.

It's absolutely unbelievable.

"Um?"

"One against seven, the Uchiha clan...aren't you the only one left?"

"Why does that old guy have a Sharingan in his right eye?"

hum-

Uchiha Itachi suddenly turned his head, and then he was stunned again.

A figure emerged from the restroom, carrying a mop with a golden legend in his hand.

That face...

Itachi Uchiha believed that even if the pot-shaped shadow were reduced to ashes, he would still recognize it at a glance.

But now, it is caught in self-doubt.

"Hiss... one against seven, look at his arms, they're disgusting... all pockmarked... wait, why do they look like eye outlines?"

"His right Sharingan looks a bit strange... it seems like he can't see anything?"

Kisame looked at Itachi Uchiha with a face full of confusion and surprise.

To everyone's surprise, Itachi Uchiha's face was also full of doubt and shock.

"Could the news be... true?"

As soon as Kisame spoke, Itachi Uchiha narrowed his eyes.

"Let's go, they've already spotted us. Let's hide first."

whoosh-

As Itachi jumped off the roof, he noticed a white figure.

At this moment, he is tied to a wooden stake, and his feet are surrounded by [Intimate Paradise].

Before him stood a group of women with red eyes and tears streaming down their faces, who kept throwing rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at him.

Although they were far away, Itachi Uchiha couldn't hear what the women were saying.

But Itachi Uchiha still managed to see their lips clearly and decipher a few words through lip reading.

Give me back my innocence!

I feel completely ashamed in front of my husband now!

My husband doesn't blame me, but I wish I could kill you!

Itachi Uchiha's pupils constricted sharply. "The Legendary Sannin, Jiraiya?"

The high and mighty Sannin Jiraiya actually...

Itachi Uchiha even doubted whether this place was actually Konoha... or perhaps, a genjutsu?

Just then, Itachi Uchiha sensed a familiar chakra.

"Walk!"

It quickly sped up, and Kisame, though puzzled, kept up with Itachi Uchiha.

Soon, the two left Konoha.

Inside the Hokage's office.

"Should we just ignore them?"

"Second Grandfather, these people were locked down as soon as they came in."

"One of them was Itachi Uchiha, who personally killed his own clan."

"Let Sasuke handle this himself."

After finishing processing a document, Tsunade replied without looking up.

"snort!"

"The Uchiha clan, born evil!"

Tobirama, you've come again.

"Sorry, brother... I'm used to it."

"But this guy is worse than an animal!"

"You can even lay a hand on your own clansmen, brother. You've sensed the situation at the Uchiha clan compound, haven't you?"

"None of those old women, young women, or children are left!"

Even Hashirama Senju nodded, "This kind of person was trained by Danzo?"

"Brother! This kind of thing isn't something you can cultivate; it's innate!"

"Sigh... Let the child go. I've heard some of these things from others. It's already a good thing the child hasn't gone crazy."

This time, Tobirama Senju did not utter the word "evil" again.

"Indeed, he's the most normal person I've ever met... well, 'normal' isn't wrong."

"Would you like to see it?"

"A battle between brothers... Fine, if that kid can't handle it, then we'll step in."

whoosh-

As soon as he finished speaking, Tobirama Senju couldn't wait to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take Hashirama Senju away from the Hokage's office.

Meanwhile, Sasuke had already arrived at the gates of Konoha.

"Hey, Sasuke, heading out?"

Gangzi Tie greeted him with a smile.

"Go kill someone."

After saying that, Erzhuzi disappeared from the spot.

Steel Iron: "???"

whoosh-

"what?"

"First Generation Lord, Second Generation Lord, are you also going out?"

"Yes, let's go watch a fight between a child and his brother."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two disappeared.

whoosh-

"Lady Kushina, are you also going to watch Sasuke kill someone?"

"Um."

whoosh-

"Izumo, you want to too... uh?"

"Dude, I knew someone would come in! Oh no... I'm going to get a scolding tonight. I can't even keep an eye on things!"

Not far from Konoha Village.

"Itachi-san, that brat has Sharingan eyes and is wearing clothes with the Uchiha clan crest... He must be a member of the Uchiha clan this time, right?"

"He's my brother, my backup eyes."

Itachi Uchiha replied indifferently.

Kisame paused for a moment, then laughed:

"Itachi-san is truly cruel, treating his own brother like this... Is he only sparing his life because of his spare eye?"

"However, Mr. Itachi... I think we should report to the leader as soon as possible. If the situation in Konoha is true... then the perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is also true."

"This is bad for our upcoming plans."

But just then, with a "whoosh," a figure blocked their path.

Kisame Hoshigaki narrowed his eyes. "Yo~"

"He's pretty fast... Itachi's younger brother."

Uchiha Itachi maintained a calm expression, but his heart was shaken.

Sasuke raised his head, his Sharingan fixed on Itachi Uchiha, and gritted his teeth as he said:

"I've finally found you... you beast... Itachi!!!"
