Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

Parallel Ninja World.

In the forest surrounding Konoha Village.

This forest is less than three kilometers away from Konoha's barrier.

The enormous puppet eagle landed.

Yakushi Kabuto took out a scroll, and the giant eagle turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared.

Uchiha Sasuke stood on a thick tree trunk.

His crimson Sharingan eyes, adorned with three tomoe, were fixed on the brightly lit Konoha Village in the distance.

"I'm going to the Uchiha clan."

Sasuke's voice was as cold as ice.

Blue lightning chakra flickered faintly around him, distorting the air around him.

That was pure murderous intent.

He grew up in that bright empire and never experienced what a family crisis was like.

But ever since that Sand Village Jonin revealed information about this world.

Sasuke is about to go crazy.

In this world, the Uchiha clan's situation must be extremely difficult.

He couldn't wait to rush into the Uchiha clan's territory, grab Fugaku Uchiha of this world, and get to the bottom of things.

Why should we continue to endure it?

Why not chop up that old bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi and feed him to the dogs?

"Calm down."

"If you just rush in now..."

"It serves no purpose other than alarming the higher-ups in Konoha."

Don't forget.

"This is Konoha Year 56."

"In this world, Konoha is without His Majesty Chiba to purge those rats."

"That hypocritical old fox, Hiruzen Sarutobi, is still in the position of Hokage."

"Danzo's roots are still secretly baring their fangs and claws."

Speaking of it.

Shikamaru stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Konoha.

"You really think...?"

"Is the Uchiha clan's territory now an undefended backyard?"

"The moment you step even half a step onto Uchiha clan territory, you'll immediately attract the attention of the Anbu, or even be hunted down by the Root!"

Hearing Shikamaru's words.

Sasuke gritted his teeth, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

He knew perfectly well that Shikamaru was right.

just.

The suffocating feeling of watching his family being humiliated made his lungs feel like they were going to explode.

"Eye roll!"

Hyuga Neji silently formed hand seals on the side.

Veins bulged at the corners of his eyes, and his gaze instantly pierced through the obstacles, sweeping towards the interior of Konoha.

After a while.

Neji Hyuga withdrew his eyes.

"Shikamaru is right."

"A large number of ninjas with subtle chakra fluctuations lurk on the outskirts of the Uchiha clan's territory."

"The roots and the shadows have surrounded that area like an iron barrel."

Neji Hyuga's voice betrayed neither joy nor sorrow.

But his hands, which were behind his back, were also clenched into fists.

When he was scanning Konoha just now, he also glanced at the Hyuga clan's territory in this world.

All the members of the separated family had thick bandages wrapped around their foreheads.

That disgusting cursed seal is still binding the Hyuga branch family of this world.

Damn it!

"So tell me, what do we do now?"

A moment later.

Sasuke suppressed his anger and stared intently at Shikamaru.

Shikamaru straightened up and dusted himself off.

"Intelligence is always the top priority."

"Since the higher-ups in this world are still targeting the Uchiha clan."

"That is enough to show that all the forces are secretly vying for power."

"Going to the Uchiha clan is not a good idea if you want to find out the power dynamics within Konoha."

"Come with me, to the Nara clan."

"My dad, who hates trouble, is probably having a headache over these things right now!"

"..."

……

The Nara family's residence.

A secluded meeting room at the deepest part of the room.

Complex sealing incantations flickered on the surrounding walls.

This is the highest-level barrier among the three races: Pig, Deer, and Butterfly.

Even the Hokage's direct subordinates, the Anbu, wouldn't be able to easily detect even the slightest sound from inside.

Inside the meeting room.

The atmosphere was so oppressive it felt like you could wring water out of it.

"The situation has deteriorated to an extreme degree."

"A coded message came from the intelligence department today."

"The high command has doubled the number of troops in its surveillance network over the Uchiha clan."

"Even the purchase of daily supplies was subject to harassment and questioning by the secret service under various pretexts."

Yamanaka Inoichi sat on the left, his brows furrowed into the shape of a "川" (river).

He picked up his teacup, but hesitated to take a sip.

boom!

A large, chubby hand slammed heavily on the table.

Akimichi Choza was so angry that his face, full of fat, was trembling.

"What exactly does the third generation want to do?"

"The Uchiha clan are the founding members of Konoha!"

"The police department has been marginalized by them for the past few years, what more do the higher-ups want?"

"Are you really going to force the Uchiha clan to rebel before you're satisfied?"

Choza Akimichi couldn't understand it.

Even though the Uchiha clan is usually a bit arrogant.

Ultimately, they were also comrades who shed blood for Konoha.

How did things come to this point where they are irreconcilable?

"Forcing a rebellion?"

Nara Shikaku, sitting in the first seat, sneered.

He picked up a match and lit the cigarette in his mouth.

The smoke from the cheap tobacco billowed through the air, obscuring his calculating eyes.

"Seat Ding".

"You're overestimating the kindness of those in power."

"They're not afraid of the Uchiha rebelling; they're afraid that the Uchiha won't rebel."

"If we don't force the Uchiha clan to the point where they have no choice but to rebel."

"What legitimate reason do they have to completely annihilate Konoha's number one clan?"

As Nara Shikaku finished speaking.

The temperature in the conference room seemed to drop to freezing point instantly.

"Shikaku."

"you mean……"

"Has the higher-ups made up their minds to exterminate the entire clan?"

Yamanaka Ichi felt his mouth and tongue were dry.

Although he had a premonition.

But hearing this conclusion from Shikaku's mouth still sent chills down my spine.

That's thousands of lives!

"Otherwise what?"

"You really think...?"

"Just because they're suspected of involvement in the Nine-Tails' attack, the higher-ups are going to go to extremes to destroy the Uchiha clan?"

Nara Shikaku rubbed his temples.

He glanced at the two people beside him and slowly began to explain.

"first."

"The Uchiha clan is too strong."

"A pair of Sharingan with three tomoe is equivalent to at least two or three Jonin of the same level on the battlefield."

"As long as Fugaku Uchiha is still alive."

"As long as the Uchiha clan still has so many young and strong men."

"Those who belong to the Naruto lineage will never sleep soundly."

Secondly.

"Shimura Danzo."

"Our three races have all become aware of some of the human experiments he conducted behind the scenes."

He never gave up on researching Wood Release cells.

"Now, he's set his sights on the Sharingan."

"The Three Represents are said to represent the Will of Fire."

"Behind the scenes, he allowed Danzo to develop Root into a private army."

"Without the Third Hokage's tacit approval and protection, would Danzo dare to reach for the Uchiha's eyes?"

Upon hearing this...

Akimichi Choza and the mountain bandit Inoichi felt a chill run down their spines.

Gouge out the eyes of their former comrades and use them as weapons?

This is even more vicious than spies from other countries!

"at last."

"That's also the most fatal point."

"Konoha is out of money."

"It's been so many years since the Third Shinobi World War ended."

"More than half of the compensation owed by the village has not yet been paid out."

"The resentment of the various families had long since reached its peak."

"The Hokage Building's finances are a huge mess."

"But look at the Uchiha."

"They have the resources from when the village was founded, and the clan has exceptionally abundant funds."

"As long as we destroy the Uchiha clan."

"The Third Hokage removed the thorn in Danzo's side, and Danzo got the eye he wanted."

"Even the village's financial crisis can be instantly filled by confiscating the Uchiha's property."

"Killing three birds with one stone".

"How could that old fox, the Third Hokage, who's always spouting 'Will of Fire,' possibly resist such a temptation?"

Dead silence.

A deathly silence.

Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza felt a chill run down their spines.

If Nara Shikaku's analysis is true.

The higher-ups in Konoha are nothing more than a bunch of bloodsucking demons clinging to the village.

"Today, I can raise my sword against the Uchiha."

"So, will it be our turn, Ino-Shika-Cho, tomorrow?"

Yamanaka Inoichi's voice was hoarse, even trembling slightly.

Choza Akimichi gritted his teeth and remained silent.

But the wariness in his eyes said it all.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio have always been supporters of the Hokage lineage.

But now.

They felt as if they were dancing with wolves.

Once the pig-deer butterfly loses its value.

Or perhaps the wealth accumulated by the pig, deer, and butterflies aroused the greed of those at higher levels.

The Uchiha clan's fate today will definitely be the Ino-Shika-Cho clan's fate tomorrow.

"Since you all know that Konoha is completely rotten."

"Why are you still cowering like a turtle instead of going and killing those old bastards?"

Sudden.

A cold voice rang out in the conference room without warning.

The air froze instantly.

boom!

Akimichi Choza sprang up suddenly, shattering the solid wood chair beneath him.

Yamanaka Inoichi's hands formed the hand seals for the Mind Transfer Technique, and his mental energy swept wildly across the entire conference room.

Nara Shikaku's pupils constricted, and he instantly completed the hand seals for the Shadow Imitation Technique.

Who?

Who broke through the highest level of the Ino-Shika-Cho barrier?

Dark area?

Or was he one of Danzo's Root ninjas?
