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

Parallel Ninja World.

Uchiha headquarters.

Hyuga Neji stopped and looked down at the disheveled Kakashi.

His pure white eyes were filled with deep contempt and disgust.

On the empire's side.

Kakashi Hatake is the head of the Imperial Anbu, and his strength has reached the peak of the Kage level.

Even Uchiha Shisui was willing to obey his orders.

What a majestic and awe-inspiring imperial minister he was!

And what about Kakashi in this parallel world?

He was so trapped in the pain of the past that he was pitifully weak, and he even pleaded for a traitor with blood on his hands!

They were utterly weak and pathetic!

Neji Hyuga's chakra surged, and his entire body emanated a chilling killing intent.

But a few seconds later.

Hyuga Neji let out a cold snort and slowly dissipated his killing intent.

No matter what.

This piece of trash in front of me is ultimately a parallel counterpart to the Minister of the Dark Division of the Empire.

If they are killed indiscriminately, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble when the imperial army arrives.

"What a disgusting bond."

Hyuga Neji coldly uttered a sentence and turned to walk back to the group.

"Hello!"

"Sasuke."

"It's time to leave!"

Nara Shikamaru, with his hands in his pockets, lazily called out.

Sasuke's chakra dissipated.

The Susanoo that blotted out the sky vanished without a trace, turning into countless purple specks of light.

His six-pointed star-patterned Sharingan coldly swept across the entire room.

Whether it was members of the Uchiha clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi, or ninjas from smaller clans...

When they met that gaze, they all instinctively lowered their heads.

"Shadow Gathering Technique: Shadow Veil"

The shadow beneath Shikamaru's feet suddenly expanded, completely engulfing Sasuke, Neji, Kabuto, and Temari.

Swish!

The space trembled slightly.

The five people vanished completely from their spot, as if they had never been there.

The Uchiha compound fell into a deathly silence.

gone!

Those five mysterious powerful figures from a parallel world left just like that.

Fugaku Uchiha lowered his head, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Sasuke from a parallel world... has become incredibly powerful.

The complete Susanoo, enhanced by Sage Mode, can slay Kage-level opponents with a mere gesture...

What exactly was that so-called empire?

Senju Chiba... what kind of terrifying person is he?

Deep within Fugaku Uchiha's eyes, a flame called ambition ignited.

Since the Uchiha clan from another world could become the empire's sharpest weapon under that man's leadership.

Why is the Uchiha clan in this world not good enough?

"Fugaku".

"Danzo actually committed such a heinous act of treason, harming his own village's ninja!"

"As the Hokage, I am deeply responsible for my failure to properly manage my subordinates!"

"I guarantee that I will thoroughly investigate the remaining members of Root and expose Danzo's crimes to the public, giving the Uchiha clan an explanation!"

"What happened tonight was entirely Danzo's doing. The Uchiha clan has been wronged!"

Just then.

An aged voice broke the silence.

Hiruzen Sarutobi walked forward, supported by several ANBU members.

The expression of grief on his face was perfectly captured.

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words...

The surrounding ninja clan members looked at each other in bewilderment.

Many people looked on with suspicion.

Did Danzo do it all by himself?

The Anbu were really cooperating with Root just now to surround and wipe out the Uchiha!

"You flatter me, Third Generation Lord."

"Since the ringleader Danzo is dead..."

"The Uchiha naturally believe that the village will handle this matter impartially."

"It's late, and the Uchiha compound needs cleaning. I apologize for not seeing you off further."

Watching Hiruzen Sarutobi perform.

Fugaku Uchiha sneered inwardly, but his face remained calm.

And his words were also perfectly watertight.

But... it was also as cold as a stranger.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips twitched slightly.

He opened his mouth, but could only sigh in the end, and led the remnants of his secret service away in a sorry state.

The crack has been completely torn open.

No matter how much we try to whitewash the situation, it will never be the same as before.

……

Deep in the Death Forest.

A violent night wind blew against the towering trees, rustling the leaves.

In a secluded open space, the shadows on the ground suddenly rippled out like waves.

Swish!

The figures of the five people appeared silently.

"Phew... I'm exhausted."

Shikamaru rubbed his sore neck.

He plopped down on the broken log behind him, complaining with a look of disgust.

"but……"

"We can finally start taking action."

Kabuto smiled slightly and casually took out more than a dozen sealing scrolls from his ninja tool bag.

boom! boom! boom!

A plume of white smoke rose up.

A large number of strange ores, special metals, and countless spell scrolls appeared on the ground in an instant.

"The stock at the root base is more abundant than we imagined."

"With these things, I can start building the time-space portal!"

The pharmacist adjusted his glasses, his eyes gleaming with a fervent scientific spirit.

"How long will it take to build?"

Temari raised an eyebrow and asked with some curiosity.

"Two days."

"Just give me forty-eight hours."

"I can then construct a permanent coordinate anchor point here, completely connecting to the Empire's teleportation array!"

Kabuto held up two fingers, brimming with confidence.

"These past two days."

"Any living thing that comes near here, kill it all."

Sasuke leaned against the tree trunk with his arms crossed and coldly uttered a few words.

"Leave it to me."

"I guarantee not a single fly will get in."

Hyuga Neji opened his Byakugan.

The unobstructed view instantly enveloped the forest within a radius of several kilometers.

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The atmosphere inside Konoha Village was extremely eerie.

In the eyes of ordinary villagers.

All they knew was that an explosion had occurred at the Uchiha base the night before last, suggesting a fierce firefight had taken place.

But the next morning...

Police patrols continued as usual.

At the Hokage Building, they only issued a notice: "Former advisor Danzo Shimura has passed away due to a sudden illness."

The villagers gossiped about it privately, but they couldn't find out any specific details.

however.

A huge uproar has already broken out within the upper echelons of the various ninja clans in Konoha!

Danzo Shimura was beheaded in the street!

Danzo's transplantation of the First Hokage's Wood Release cells and his eight Sharingan eyes have been completely exposed!

Obito Uchiha, the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails' rampage, appears, but is severely injured and on the verge of death!

Even more frightening is...

Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned the various ninja clans to the Uchiha stronghold to suppress them.

The Hyuga clan's gates remain tightly shut.

The three races of pig, deer, and butterfly collectively turned a deaf ear.

Only a few small ninja clans affiliated with the Sarutobi clan went to the scene despite their reluctance, but they all ended up as background figures!

This caused Hiruzen Sarutobi's prestige to plummet to its lowest point!

Inside the Hokage Building.

"Hiruzen!"

"Hyuga and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, are they planning a rebellion?"

"They actually dared to defy the Hokage's emergency conscription order!"

"They must be severely punished!"

"They must be stripped of their positions!"

Xiaochun, who was switching dorm rooms, slammed her hand on the table and screamed.

Her voice was shrill with fear.

"Severe punishment?"

"What should be used to severely punish them?"

"All of Danzo's dirty secrets have been dug up."

"Rumors are spreading throughout the village that higher-ups are persecuting wealthy families and vying for bloodline limits!"

"Are you trying to take action against the Hyuga and Ino-Shika-Cho trio now? Do you think Konoha isn't already splitting up fast enough?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in the main seat.

He looked as if he had aged ten years, and silently took a drag of his cigarette.

Upon hearing this...

Xiaochun, who had just changed dorm rooms, was speechless.

Because she knew very well in her heart.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's reputation has plummeted to rock bottom.

The once monolithic rule of the Konoha leadership has become a mere shell of its former self.

And at this very moment.

Inside the Uchiha clan's compound.

Eight-year-old Sasuke was walking on a path within the clan compound.

His little face was full of confusion.

I don't know why.

Starting yesterday.

The uncles and elders in the clan began to look at him with extremely strange eyes.

In the past, when people saw him, they would at most say, "The youngest son of the Fugaku clan chief is so cute."

but now……

Those usually unruly Jonin actually straightened their backs when they saw him pass by.

Their eyes were exceptionally fervent, as if they were looking at some kind of faith.

Some people even bowed slightly to him subconsciously!

"elder brother……"

"Why is everyone acting so strangely?"

"Is there something dirty on my face?"

Young Sasuke tugged at Itachi Uchiha's sleeve, tilting his innocent face upwards as he asked.

Itachi Uchiha stopped in his tracks.

He looked down at his innocent younger brother, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

In his mind, however, came the image of that domineering and ruthless young man clad in a complete Susanoo form.

"Sasuke."

"There's nothing dirty here."

"Just remember..."

"You in the future... will become the true pride of the Uchiha clan."
