Naruto: I made you Naruto, and you've become blond?

Chapter 3 Uchiha Weasel

The village was thriving at that time.

However, after the Fourth Hokage sacrificed himself for the village on the night of the Nine-Tails' death, and with no other choice, he dragged his aging body back to the position of Hokage, Konoha was already in decline.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to reveal Naruto's identity as Minato's son, but Konoha's power had waned in recent years.

The Land of Fire is located in a region of constant warfare, and all the hidden villages regard Konoha as the strongest ninja village and its arch-enemy.

Therefore, he had to focus his energy on military affairs.

Previously, the Hidden Cloud Village had forced the Hyuga clan's ninja, Runtu, to commit suicide, and was unable to protect the village's ninjas, causing widespread resentment. As the Hokage, he was the first to suffer a significant loss of prestige.

At this time, the spread of rumors about a fox demon could conveniently divert the public's attention...

Within the village, the Uchiha clan and the common people were constantly clashing and quarreling, becoming increasingly alienated from the village's leadership, and the internal hawks were even plotting something sinister.

Fortunately, he had two good kids, Shisui and Itachi, to help him calm down and mediate with the Uchiha.

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered to himself,

"Even Tobirama-sensei can make mistakes; not all Uchiha are born evil brats!"

If the truth were revealed now, the Hokage himself would be held accountable for his years of indifference in the face of rampant rumors that the Fourth Hokage's son was actually a demon fox.

Beset by internal and external troubles, his prestige is bound to suffer another severe blow.

He might become the first Hokage to resign due to taking responsibility...

Now that I have stepped down, who in Konoha is capable of shouldering the burden of the Hokage position?

Danzo is treacherous and ruthless, and has no will of fire whatsoever!

His three disciples, including Orochimaru, are best left unmentioned.

One ran away because he was afraid of blood, and the other became a ninja who was controlled by a summoning beast in reverse, something never before heard of.

"I wonder if Jiraiya values ​​the village more or Mount Myōboku more."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed heavily, puffing out thick white smoke from his long pipe, his heart filled with loneliness and helplessness.

Currently, he is the only one in Konoha who can patch things up and barely keep things afloat, providing shelter for Konoha from the wind and rain.

If someone... if Jiraiya or Tsunade were willing to return and take over as Hokage, he would definitely be willing to pave the way for the next Hokage and take responsibility for all the previous sins!

As the Third Hokage, it is his inescapable duty to restore the glory of Konoha!

The appearance of Ino in the crystal ball finally brought a touch of relief to Hiruzen Sarutobi's previously solemn and aged face.

"This must be... the Yamanaka family, Inoichi's child. What a righteous ally."

But in an instant, the cold and disgusted expressions of the villagers and ninjas, and Naruto's lonely little figure reappeared in his mind.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart tightened again, his brows furrowed, and he sighed heavily, "I truly feel ashamed before Minato," his voice filled with guilt and helplessness.

This bond of friendship alone is far from enough to soothe and heal Naruto's heart, which has been subjected to scorn and indifference.

Wait, eye roll...

The caged bird of the Hyuga family...

As the head of the main clan, Hiashi Hyuga happens to have two daughters…

Smoking his pipe, the third generation pondered for a long time, then suddenly smiled, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

He gave orders to the empty Hokage office.

"Summon the Hyuga clan head."

……

Several days of heavy snow have turned the entire Konoha into a silver-white wonderland.

Despite the inclement weather, Naruto persisted in running and training in the remote suburbs of Konoha.

Chakra is synthesized from physical energy and mental energy. As long as physical strength is greatly improved, the corresponding amount of chakra will increase.

Of course, physical training is a clumsy method.

However, as an orphan and under the control and blockade of the Konoha leadership, he had very little access to ninja-related resources.

She's not even as good as Sakura Haruno, who's a commoner.

If he were to defect from the ninja village, he would inevitably face off against Danzo, the leader of Root and the dark side of the ninja world.

Danzo was a notorious mad dog in the ninja world, especially known for his kunai attack on Sasuke's Susanoo, which was truly a stab to the butt and opened everyone's eyes.

If I fail to escape due to insufficient strength and fall into his hands...

She would probably be forced by this old man to pledge her loyalty to him, and even have to stick out her bright red tongue, planting the seed of eternal damnation.

Then comes the complete service of confinement, brainwashing, and moral decay.

Thinking of this, Naruto's heart sank, and he slowly exhaled, his breath turning into icy mist in the cold air. His gaze, focused on increasing his strength, became even more determined.

Open the system.

[God-level Choice System: Interacting with the original protagonist has a certain chance of triggering system options and granting rewards]

【Name: Naruto Uzumaki】

[Chakra Amount: 486XX (Locked, unusable), Available Chakra Amount: 3012 (approximately three katakana)]

[Skill: Nine-Tails Chakra Control (Beginner: 1/10)]

Is it possible that the amount of chakra cannot be fully utilized due to the Eight Trigrams Seal within the body and the interference from the Nine-Tails?

Moreover, refining chakra is also extremely difficult; I must have a heart-to-heart talk with the proud little baby in my belly as soon as possible...

The latest novel is first published here!

Is the power of only three chakra cards currently available to me? That's far too little...

What is the power of a single card? Carving a dog's head on the earthen wall and chatting while using Raikiri, that's a single card.

Of course, the standard "one card power" refers to the chakra level of an elite Jonin from a major ninja village, which is already quite high.

It seems I have to get into the Ninja Academy. These last two classes include the Golden Generation of the Twelve Konoha Ninja, which will make it easier to get system rewards.

Naruto strode through the sparsely populated streets, and around the corner lay a vast, empty forest.

In the clearing nestled in the forest, two people, one large and one small, were engaged in close combat.

The younger boy, with black hair and fair skin, was about the same age as himself. He had excellent physical skills and moved quickly and powerfully.

The sword in his hand spun rapidly, flashing with cold light, tearing through space with a series of whistling sounds.

Naruto's gaze sharpened. Uchiha Sasuke and Itachi?!

Has he already reached the level of a senior student in a ninja academy before even entering it? No wonder he's the one who unleashed a single tomoe after wiping out his entire clan.

Naruto observed the battle between the two for a while, noting that the black-haired, red-eyed Uchiha Itachi was playing with complete abandon.

At first glance, it seems like there's a give and take.

But it seemed that every move Sasuke made was just a hair's breadth away from injuring Itachi Uchiha; every time, it was just a little short.

When Sasuke was finally panting and exhausted, Itachi gently tapped Sasuke's forehead with two fingers, and at the same time, he noticed and looked up at Naruto.

Naruto was startled. How could someone so far away be able to multitask and discover him?

No wonder he participated in the Third Shinobi World War at the age of four, graduated from the Shinobi Academy at the age of seven, and was praised by the ninja hero Hiruzen Sarutobi as a genius who could see things from the perspective of a Hokage!

At the same time, system options pop up.

Option 1: "Where does it hurt? My throat is dry." Go up and greet Uchiha Sasuke and Itachi, introducing yourselves. Reward: Increased proficiency (can increase any skill level by 1)

Option 2: "Damn it, Uchiha weasel! Don't splatter blood on me, I'm outta here!" Quickly flee the scene. Reward: Random A-rank ninjutsu.

Option one? I'm not CEO Lü, and Sasuke isn't a police dog.

What's more, this is Uchiha Weasel, a young genius whom the Uchiha clan, a powerful ninja family for centuries, has never seen before.

As for why it's unprecedented, it's because if a genius like Itachi Uchiha had appeared before...

Naruto decisively chose to avoid them; he couldn't afford to associate with Itachi Uchiha.
