Darkening System Start From Naruto Chapter 4: 31 to 43, a manhua/chinese comics/漫画 fanfic

After embracing each other for a while, Naruto stopped crying. He took a little distance from Li Yaoxiang. Immediately, he took a serious look at Li Yaoxiang's appearance up and down, fearing that he would forget him.

Without waiting for what Li Yaoxiang said, Naruto quickly flattened his mouth and complained: "Big brother, why did you only meet me now?"

As mentioned before, Naruto always thought that it was just a voice talking to him in his mind. Even if he sees the true face of Li Yaoxiang today, he has never thought about whether there is a person like Li Yaoxiang in the real world anyway.

He just wondered why the big brother obviously has this ability. And now that big brother was willing to meet him.

"Naruto, the big brother doesn't meet you for no reason."

Naruto didn't interrupt Li Yaoxiang, with his gloomy eyes, waiting for Li Yaoxiang to continue.

"Naruto, in fact, we can communicate in such a special way. Other people are not like us. Before you, you were young and ignorant. If you rashly meet with me, you might accidentally let others discover my existence… Whether it is dangerous to you or to me…"

Naruto was puzzled: "Why is it dangerous? Am I not having a big brother? Why is it dangerous?"

"Naruto, did you forget what I told you? The people in the village are cruel. A demon fox is sealed inside you, then you are a dangerous presence for them. They will not remember the contribution your father once made to the village. As long as they find anything abnormal about you, they will ruthlessly deal with you or me."

Naruto retorted nervously: "No! No! After everyone knows my identity, don't they all come to apologize? And big brother, didn't you say it? As long as I work hard, let everyone rest assured, they will accept us.

"Naruto… Are you sure everyone in the village is like this?" Li Yaoxiang stared at Naruto seriously.

Naruto, who originally wanted to say something, got the words stuck in his lips. Because he remembered those who apparently knew his identity but had always ignored him and allowed others to bully him. He remembered the cold faces of those crowd. He recalled that even though the villagers understood his identity, they deliberately alienated him because of fear of danger.

Although he has been very reluctant to believe that there is such a nasty side in this world, the actual situation made him believe the fact in front of him.

Facing Li Yaoxiang's stern eyes, Naruto could no longer think of a good reason to deceive himself.

"Then… that… the big brother meeting me now. Will they find you? Are you in danger?"

Naruto was still kind-hearted as always. He was worried that Li Yaoxiang, the big brother, would be in danger too.

'I never thought about my situation that way.'

Li Yaoxiang smiled slightly and messed Naruto's hair: "Naruto, don't you want to make friends? How can I be a big brother but can't help you? And, Naruto, you're grown up now, aren't you? I believe you can take care of yourself."

This seemingly normal sentence contains a huge meaning that Li Yaoxiang inadvertently revealed. Unfortunately, Naruto could not understand the true meaning of this sentence. He thought Li Yaoxiang praised that he had grown up and was sensible, which means there was no problem. He was complacent and hummed.

At the same time, Li Yaoxiang also deliberately dismissed the topic at this time: "Okay, let's stop talking about these. Today, your brother here is going to tell you how to become stronger! Don't be lazy because you have to work hard, alright?"

"En!"

Immediately afterward, Li Yaoxiang began to teach Naruto how to refine Chakra.

Since childhood, Li Yaoxiang taught speech and literacy to Naruto. Naruto, in this life, has a much better understanding.

It didn't take long to teach, and Naruto soon understood the knowledge taught by Li Yaoxiang.

Immediately after Li Yaoxiang reassured him that there was still a chance to meet, Naruto reluctantly withdrew from the consciousness space.

…

Returning to reality.

The surrounding environment has not changed. The sky has not changed. In the world, only a split second has passed.

The carefree Naruto, in the blink of an eye, left behind those unhappy things.

What villagers deliberately alienated him, what children did not play with him, all gone.

He ran home with anticipation, leaving only one word in his heart.

Training!

…

Not long after, Naruto quickly stumbled back home.

Immediately afterward, he immediately sat in meditation in accordance with the method taught by Li Yaoxiang.

It didn't take long for Naruto to be taken aback and flustered quickly in his mind: "Big brother! Big brother! Success! Success! I have the Chakra you said above my abdomen!"

Li Yaoxiang was not surprised at Naruto's training speed, even anticipated it.

The reason for this result is also due to Li Yaoxiang's previous layout plan. A long time ago, he had already decided on the 2nd Step blackening plan to let Naruto go to the Peak of life. Since Naruto is going to be a Peak in life, making Naruto become a genius must be one of the links in this plan.

This is why Li Yaoxiang had that series of actions before.

Telling the truth, parents and son meet, threatening Kyuubi.

This seems like a series of unrelated actions, but the truth behind it was Li Yaoxiang's tricks! And these tricks were not only as simple as they seem on the surface. It allowed him to get a lot of profit from it!

The reason why Li Yaoxiang was so determined is that as long as Kyuubi stands down, Naruto can become a genius of extraordinary talents. The reason was very simple. Because he was familiar with the anime, it became clear. Until now, what hindered Naruto from becoming genius, that is, Kyuubi. This guy.

After all, even with Kyuubi's interference, his innate talent could rival Uchiha Sasuke, who was the chief student. What's more, with no interference from Kyuubi, now? Therefore, Li Yaoxiang only thought that this situation is normal.

3 years of planning.

This was just the moment when he harvests the results, and these results will continue to come!

Li Yaoxiang did not feel complacent because of this achievement. Because he knew that this was just the beginning.

Seeing Naruto started to feel a little smug. As his big brother, he immediately warned repeatedly: "What's the matter? Just a little bit of training, and you feel satisfied? Or do you think you can make people feel at ease now? Will they make friends with you now?"

Naruto, who was taught by Li Yaoxiang, quickly calmed down.

Concentrate on training again.

At the same time, during the next few days when Li Yaoxiang urged Naruto to train, he happened to be in the space of consciousness. Through the crystal ball, he observed an interesting scene…

Hokage Residence. In Conference Hall.

At the conference hall at the moment, there were Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu four people. They discussed various policies on Konoha Village in Conference Hall. However, compared to the last time, they quickly talked about Naruto this time.

Mitokado Homura: "Hiruzen, I heard… Naruto started training without anyone teaching?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, hearing this, sucked the tobacco pipe and did not answer.

Utatane Koharu: "Hiruzen, don't you think Naruto's recent moves are getting more and more strange? His way of training is unlike a 3 years old child who came up with it himself."

Sarutobi Hiruzen kept sucking the tobacco pipe without answering.

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent, Shimura Danzo finally shot to the table with an unable 'slap', and then shouted at him angrily: "Do you think you can't talk about this matter, can you pass it?!"

"Obviously, Namikaze Minato is teaching Naruto about whatever demon fox training!"

"We can't delay anymore!"

"How do you ensure that Namikaze Minato is not hostile to the village?!"

"Don't forget, what kind of life did that demon fox make us live all these years!"

Three people's eyes, simultaneously watching Sarutobi Hiruzen, forced him to respond to this question. But he hesitated for a long time or was out of the words of Namikaze Minato and Naruto: "I believe… Minato will understand my pain. He… will not resent the village."

Speaking of which, Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone became uncertain. He was also not sure whether Namikaze Minato would really resent the village. After all, the Namikaze Minato's family has sacrificed so much for the village. But the village treats their descendants like this…

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen was still indecisive, Shimura Danzo, who was out of breath, immediately shouted again: "Very good! In this case, let's ignore whether Namikaze Minato has resentment for the village! But didn't you say that before? As long as the demon fox gets along with the village, he can't escape our control! But now?! Don't tell me you don't see what's happening now! Simply no one in the village wants to be friends with that demon fox! How can we control him?! Do you really want to let a Jinchuriki who has the opportunity to hate the village continue to grow like this? As a Hokage, do you still think about Konoha?!"

Shimura Danzo did point out the problem this time.

In the beginning, the old fellows in the Conference Hall continued to let Naruto go because they saw Naruto just wanted to make friends and had no evil intent for Konoha. In addition, they had no time to take care of this Naruto' trivial problem' because of the Uchiha Clan.

But now? It's different now!

After this period of time observation, Naruto, who wanted to make friends, did not make friends. How would they be sure that Naruto would not hate the village? Therefore, the label of 'unstable factor' gradually entered Naruto.

Seeing these 'old close friends' in front of him, on the topic of Naruto and still unrelenting, Sarutobi Hiruzen cut through the wasteland suddenly exuded the imposing-manner that belongs to his Hokage persona: "Enough! I am Hokage or are you the Hokage?! About Naruto, I have my own solution to this matter! So do not bother him!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's angry anger made the atmosphere in the Conference Hall suddenly cold.

Who knows how long they have seen Sarutobi Hiruzen in this imposing-manner?

But they were not at all happy because of this. Instead, after a moment of stun, they began to feel dissatisfied with Sarutobi Hiruzen in their hearts. Dissatisfied that he changed his style of doing things.

Several people have a lot of opinions in their hearts, but they did not try to shake the majesty Hokage that belongs to Naruto at this time. Everyone was silent.

The meeting at this time, again because of Naruto's topic, eventually led to disappointment.

….

After Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to his Hokage room, he tapped a few code words on the desk.

Knock. Knock, knock. Knock…

After typing the code word, an Anbu ninja suddenly appeared in front of the table.

Sarutobi Hiruzen gaze at the scenery outside the window, said solemnly: "How is Naruto recently?"

"Report Lord-Hokage. The past few days, Naruto is repeating various exercise programs without stopping."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spit out a cigarette: "Who do you think… in the village… is the best friend of Naruto?"

Immediately afterward, the Anbu ninja began to express his own analysis and insights.

After the two discussed for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen was instructed: "Very good, then let this matter be done by you."

"Yes!" Anbu ninja left with a 'bang'.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who stayed alone in the Hokage room, secretly whispered: "Naruto, Naruto… I hope you won't make it difficult for me…"

….

Seeing the picture of the crystal ball from here, Li Yaoxiang smiled. After purchasing the crystal ball so soon, he didn't expect he would see such an interesting scene.

Also, because of this scene, he solved some doubts when he was watching the Anime.

But this is not the point. The point is…

Should he laugh at Shimura Danzo and the others for being pig teammates? Or laughing at Sarutobi Hiruzen for the divine assist?

This action of Sarutobi Hiruzen coincides with Li Yaoxiang's purpose.

Even without Sarutobi Hiruzen's plan, Li Yaoxiang would deliberately arrange this matter soon. Therefore, it can be said to blacken Naruto, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and these old fellows are really indispensable.

No way. Let me hold the popcorn.

It's good to watch this big show in the consciousness space.

…

A few days later.

Since Li Yaoxiang taught Naruto training, in this period of time, Naruto lived his training career day after day. Every morning, before dawn, Li Yaoxiang forced him to wake up, run, and exercise. Naruto would exercise until noon. Then, after a short rest, Li Yaoxiang would call him to go swimming and climbing.

Naruto was so tired that he just wanted to rest on the ground, but Li Yaoxiang woke him up again. He kept nagging in his ears, asking him to keep clean and calling him to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Naruto ate a bento. Then he has to start meditation again, Refining Chakra.

It was not until he went to bed in the evening that this ended his training journey of the day.

This kind of day, after a long time, the silly and foolish Naruto realizes that something is wrong.

'Huh? Wrong! Being as powerful as dad, I can make everyone feel at ease and play with everyone… But, wouldn't that be at least ten years later?! So, what's the difference?!'

Isn't he still living alone?

After realizing this, he quickly contacted Li Yaoxiang in his mind, arguing angrily: "Big brother! Big brother! No! You're not right! What I want is that I can play with everyone now! But you told me to exercise as strong as dad before I can play with everyone. Won't that happen ten years later? I don't want it! I don't want to take this long! Big brother, is there any other way faster?"

Li Yaoxiang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Naruto finally realized what was wrong with this matter. He waited for the chance. He waited so long, what he waited for was in this brief moment. Waiting for Naruto to ask this question spontaneously.

Only in this way, he could naturally lead Naruto to the direction he expected and continue to develop. Otherwise, if it is too deliberate, maybe things will not achieve the effect he wants.

Looking at this silly little brother who was stupidly influenced by Asura, Li Yaoxiang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Fortunately, he was not too silly.

There is still salvation. At least he can find out what the problem is, even though a bit late.

It's just that Li Yaoxiang doesn't plan to tell Naruto the answer now. After all, he did not forget the pictures he had observed in Hokage Residence. I believe that in a short time, Sarutobi Hiruzen's 'divine assist' will help him solve this problem perfectly.

So, Li Yaoxiang's tone pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "I tell you to exercise and exercise! Why do you complain so much? Rest assured, as long as you continue to exercise, you will be able to make friends soon."

Naruto suspiciously said: "Really?"

"Of course!" Li Yaoxiang.

With Li Yaoxiang's affirmative answer, Naruto moved his little legs with 'haha' and continued to run on the snow.

…

At the same time, in this period of time when Li Yaoxiang told Naruto to continue to exercise.

Hyuga Clan's residence, in the courtyard of the Main House.

At this time, Hyuga Hinata was happily playing with the very tall wooden pile in front of him.

"HAH!"

"HYA!"

"HAH!"

"HA!"

She thinks thought she was very ferocious. But if the scene is seen by others, she can only be described as 'Kawai'.

This scene looks cute and lovely. But for the person involved, Hyuga Hinata, it was not easy at all!

The weather was cold. And not to mention, it was very painful to beat on the wooden pile palm by palm! Beating the wooden pile, her little hands became red and even blistered!

It's a pity that anyone who saw this scene felt sorry for her. In Hyuga Hiashi's opinion, it was nothing! Compared with the sacrifice of his younger brother, Hyuga Hizashi, he felt that the daughter should work harder 100 times than other people!

[*TL note: Hiashi Hyūga (Hyūga Hiashi) is a shinobi from Konohagakure, as well as the current head of the Hyūga clan.]

Become more powerful! In the future, take the responsibility to carry forward the clan! This is worthy of the younger brother Hyuga Hizashi's contribution!

{**TL note: Some time later, in an event that would become known as the Hyūga Affair, Hiashi killed the Head Ninja of Kumogakure to save Hinata. Kumogakure demanded Hiashi's body as restitution; in reality, they wanted to obtain the secrets of the Byakugan. The Hyūga elders and Konoha's leadership proposed that Hizashi be used instead; as Hiashi's body double. In addition to protecting Hiashi – the Hyūga's leader – doing so would keep the Byakugan's secrets from being discovered; Hizashi agreed. When Hiashi tried to protest, Hizashi immobilised him with a single blow. He then explained that he was not doing this to preserve the Hyūga's structure, but to save the life of his brother, to prevent war, and to choose his own fate for the first time in his life.]

And Hyuga Hinata, who was only 3 years old, also understood why her father was so severe to her suddenly. She also knew that her uncle had sacrificed her life because of her recent affairs. So, she really understood.

Dare not complain. Dare not be coquettish with father. Try to be as strong as possible.

After punching Eight-Trigrams Palm at a very slow speed, Hyuga Hinata put away his little hand and hid his little hand behind his back, breathing heavily, only weakly said: "Father… Father… Father… I finished my practice."

How could Hyuga Hiashi not notice these small movements of Hinata?

This was not the first time his daughter has practiced and get injured. He was not distressed when he saw how a little girl looked like this. It's just that every time when he thinks about the sacrifice of the younger brother, he will be hard-hearted again, posing a stern gesture in front of his daughter.

"Un." Hyuga Hiashi lightly 'un'ed and then said, "Remember to practice once every day before you can go out to play, understand?"

Hearing her father saying that she can go out, the 3 years old Hinata couldn't hide her excitement. Her eyes glowed, nodded very hard, and then she yelled an "um" and promised it.

She could go for a walk and have a look in such a hard day. This was the happiest moment for Hinata throughout the day!

It didn't take long for Hinata to change clothes.

She left the house with a personal guard.

….

After leaving for a long distance, this bodyguard behind Hinata was suddenly stopped by several Anbu ninjas: "Is something wrong?"

Anbu ninja: "It's nothing. But there are some things I would like to ask."

They did not give the personal guard the opportunity to refuse. Anbu ninja just wanted to pestered him.

Hinata, who was so cute, didn't notice what was happening behind her and went on. She walked towards the route she would usually take on the weekdays.

The reason for this route was all because of a boy. A boy who she wanted to know for a long time. The boy's character is always lively and cheerful. No matter what happens, he will keep a hearty smile every day.

Hinata hopes that she can have a character that is not introverted or cowardly like the boy.

Because she knew that this was the most ideal daughter in her father's mind. Although she knew this hope was very difficult to realize, she still wanted to see the boy more. Because whenever she saw the boy's hearty smile, her mood would also follow involuntarily with happiness.

The boy's smile kept circling in her mind. But walking around, Hinata found that the surrounding environment had changed!

The store is gone! The crowd is gone! The rest is just the dark and scary jungle on the left and right sides.

Before she could react to it, there was a huge pain in her head.

Immediately afterwards, she heard various laughs not far away.

"Hahahahaha! White-eyed monster! How dare you come out today without a guard? See if I won't kill you!"

"Hahaha! Stinky coward, how dare you run out to be scary? Kill you white-eyed monster!"

She looked towards the direction of the sound.

Those were a few boys a little older than her. Hinata recognized these boys.

Every time she walks this route, she will encounter these boys playing. She felt that these boys do not like her. What puzzled her is that normally, as long as there are guards, these boys will not treat her like this. Why dare to bully her today?

Hinata subconsciously looked behind her. She wanted to ask the guard for help. It's a pity that no matter where she looks, she can't find any trace of the guard.

She became very scared and began to panic.

Completely at a loss.

She looked at these 'tall' boys. Hinata's tears gradually soaked her eyes.

It's a pity that her pitiful appearance did not welcome the pity of the boys. The boys showed an expression of excitement and began to throw snowballs at her, hitting on Hinata's body.

PA!

Hinata couldn't bear it and fell to the ground.

They still did not intend to stop. Even more so because of the sudden addition of a target like Hinata, they felt very happy.

Just at the moment when Hinata felt the most helpless and the most feared, there was a domineering voice not far away: "Stop! You guys should stop!"

It was a yellow hair with a few strange whiskers on his face, and a boy of her age.

After seeing this little boy in front of him, Hinata's pitiful look couldn't help but show a smile.

'It's him…'

'The boy is coming…'

"I'm telling you to stop! Didn't hear it?" Naruto rushed over angrily and stopped in front of Hinata.

Naruto's small silhouette at the moment seems to be infinitely enlarged in the eyes of Hinata. How reliable he looks. What a sense of security.

As for the boys who bullied Hinata on the opposite side, after seeing the person coming is Naruto, their faces couldn't help but look difficult. After all, Naruto's identity has been revealed, and he is the hero's son.

Coupled with the repeated orders from their parents, these boys could no longer bully Naruto like before, called Naruto a monster.

"Naruto! What are you doing here?! You are the son of a hero, and we don't want to embarrass you! You step aside! She is a monster!"

"That's right! She's a monster with white eyes! He is different from us, Naruto!"

Naruto opened his hands and formed a "big" shape, blocking Hinata: "I don't care! I don't allow you to bully her! If you still want to bully her, then deal with me first!"

Having been bullied by others, Naruto couldn't bear it when he saw others being bullied. As long as this happens, Naruto will easily resonance with that person. That's why in the original work, the person Naruto at first likes is Haruno Sakura. Naruto saw Haruno Sakura being bullied and laughed at for high forehead, so Naruto subconsciously resonated with Haruno Sakura.—He mistakenly thought the commoner girl Haruno Sakura and himself were the same kinds of person.

The current situation is the same. He saw Hinata being bullied and called a monster by others, so he naturally resonated with Hinata.

The reason for her rescue was entirely due to natural reactions. There is no other purpose.

And Naruto in this life, because of the appearance of Li Yaoxiang, the "butterfly effect" took place. He was not beaten as he did in the original work. Those few naughty kids were not like this. But now, they just clenched their teeth, leaving angrily.

Naruto sat on the ground instantly. Not because he was afraid, but because he exercised for so long, he was drained.

After they disappeared without a trace, Naruto, who reacted, turned around from a paralyzed posture and climbed up to Hinata and said kindly: "Are you all right?"

Seeing Naruto getting closer and closer to her, Hinata's face grew red and red. Her breathing was even more rapid. She dared not look directly at Naruto, shaking her head repeatedly, and said softly: "No… nothing."

"It's fine now. It's okay. Come, I will pull you up."

Naruto stood up and held out his hand.

Hinata squeezed for a moment, but in the end, she gathered courage and put her hand on Naruto's hand.

But as soon as she caught it, Hinata let out a sound of 'hya', then quickly retracted her palm.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"

"I… I… I'm okay. This was hurt while I was training."

Seeing Hinata seemed to be afraid of what he looked like, Naruto shut his mouth.

The two just moved towards the direction outside the jungle.

In the original work, it was also because Hinata was too shy. She didn't dare to talk to Naruto. So, it caused a misunderstanding between the two sides. Naruto mistakenly thought that Hinata, like other people, hated Naruto. And in the end, the love was lost.

Of course, whether it is in original work or what happened today, it was all arranged by Sarutobi Hiruzen, the old fogey behind the scenes. After all, whether it is original work or the reality now, Sarutobi Hiruzen has the same purpose. That is to let Naruto make friends and bonds.

Obviously, Hinata's attitude towards Naruto must have been noticed at the time by Sarutobi.

'That's why I finally set my goal on Hinata.'

It's just because of Li Yaoxiang's appearance that the meeting time of Naruto and Hinata has been advanced. After all, the appearance of Li Yaoxiang has caused Shimura Danzo and the others to make Sarutobi Hiruzen out of breath.

Under compelled by circumstances, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to plan the actions at this time. As long as Naruto makes friends, then he would at least add one more reason to stop the mouths of those old close friends. Planting the idea of preventing them from taking one step further action against Naruto.

….

After watching the whole incident, Li Yaoxiang solved some of the doubts he felt when watching the anime.

I mean, come on! A good Hyuga Clan's Eldest Young Lady has no guard, alone, and lost in the jungle for no reason? A few naughty kids came to the jungle for no reason? Uzumaki Naruto just happened to come to this jungle? If all this is arranged by Sarutobi Hiruzen, then it makes sense.

The guards were led away by Sarutobi Hiruzen. Hinata and Naruto, including those naughty kids, were also sent by Sarutobi Hiruzen by performing Genjutsu on them, attracting them to this jungle.

This plan is simply fantastic.

This also confirms from the side that Naruto's entire childhood was controlled by one hand in this way.

Although it is hateful, Li Yaoxiang will not destroy Sarutobi Hiruzen's "good intentions" this time, but he will even push a hand. After all, in his 2nd Step plan, letting Naruto get acquainted with the fetters is also very important, which is one of the important links.

After watching the drama for so long, it's time for his protagonist to appear!

"Naruto, don't you want to make friends? Now is the opportunity. Why not take the opportunity to make friends with this little girl?"

Hearing Li Yaoxiang's suggestion, Naruto tangled: "But… but… but big brother, she seems to be afraid of me. How can I make friends with her?"

"It's okay, Naruto. Trust me. Friends will not come to you by themselves. You need to take the initiative."

After the big brother said so, Naruto twitched. After all, it was he who wants to make friends.

So, he breathes deeply and says to Hinata on the side: "Hello, my name is Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto, what is your name?"

"I… I… My name is Hinata, Hyuga Hinata."

Naruto didn't think that he would get an answer. But, the girl next to him really responded to him!

This makes Naruto happy!

He quickly cheered up and said: "Can we be friends after this? Is that okay?"

Hinata followed Naruto's pace, lowered her head and the index fingers of her hands kept circling in front of her abdomen, then she made an 'um'.

The sound "um" was very quiet, but still caught by Naruto!

He was so happy that he became smug. With no trace of politeness, he hugged Hinata's shoulders and pulled her to his side. He said with a big smile: "Hahahaha! That's great! After today, we will train together and play together!"

Feeling Naruto's warm body temperature. Hinata's forehead suddenly became hot, and her cheeks were red! Her body becomes straight and stiff!

Immediately after that, there was a bang, and she fell to the ground.

Naruto was unresponsive and had no idea what was going on. He looked at Hinata, who was unconscious for no reason, and then cry out in surprise: "Eh?! Why did you collapse?!"

Seeing this in the picture, the encounter between Hinata and Naruto finally ended successfully.

With the help of Li Yaoxiang, the relationship between Naruto and Hinata in this life will be much closer than in the original work!

Of course, it is not enough for Hinata to get Naruto into the Peak of life and get everything he wants. In order to make future plans more smoothly, it is also time to target the other person …

Time flies. In a blink of an eye, a few days passed.

Hyuga Clan, in the courtyard of the Main House.

Ever since the encounter between Hinata and Naruto, Hinata has become more energetic.

No longer has a troubled look. No longer so sentimental.

Even in the past, the exercise program given by Hyuga Hiashi was completed very quickly and actively. Of course, the reason why Hinata was so motivated was because she wants to complete the mission sooner to go out to find her Naruto.

At the moment, she was still facing the tall wooden pile, constantly slapping it.

Only compared to a few days ago, Hinata's movements became neater or more agile.

There was no sloppy feeling at all.

"HAH!"

"HYA!"

"HAH!"

"HA!"

She finished her work cutely.

"Father! I've finished practicing!"

Hyuga Hiashi, with a serious expression, nodded with an "um" sound.

"Then… then… Father, can I go out and play?"

Hyuga Hiashi also complied.

Immediately, Hinata left the courtyard happily and walked towards the place agreed with Naruto.

Seeing the back of the girl's departure, Hyuga Hiashi couldn't help but wonder what happened. What can make the girl changed so much? So, he called a guard and asked: "Did Eldest Young Lady encounter any special circumstances recently?"

The escort reported to Hyuga Hiashi all the events that happened that day and recently. "Clan Leader, do we need…"

Before waiting for the guard to finish, Hyuga Hiashi waved his hand: "No need. Let them."

After the conversation, the guard left the courtyard.

Hyuga Hiashi thought about this matter sadly. He was very pleased with the girl's change. But the Anbu's sudden appearance was specially prepared for the girl and Uzumaki Naruto to be acquainted. It made him feel a little worried. He wasn't sure whether the high-level Konoha fellows were behind this.

He looked in the direction of Hokage Residence. Hyuga Hiashi involuntarily sighed.

Even if they were planning something… What can he do?

At that time, when the village was going to sacrifice his younger brother. As the Main House Clan Leader of Hyuga Clan, would he be able to change anything?

He sighed at his incompetence.

…

Konoha Village. A certain park.

After Hinata left the Hyuga Clan's residence, she quickly arrived at the place she had agreed with Naruto.

It was different from the excitement and anticipation when she finally went out.

When she saw the energetic Naruto already doing gymnastics in the park waiting for her for a long time, she instantly became shy and calmed down all her emotions.

The originally cute pace became very slow. Her head down. Step by step, she walked over to Naruto.

As for the guards who followed her, they had long been blocked by the Anbu who was monitoring Naruto. After all, these Anbu would not allow threatening objects to approach Naruto casually.

Her guards have long been accustomed to this treatment these days. There was no conflict between them anymore.

This happened to be the 'romantic couple's world' for the two little children.

"Ha! Hinata, you're finally here!"

"Ok…"

"Why are you so late today? What are you doing?"

"I… I… I just passed a store, and that… three-color Dango in that store looked delicious, so I bought some and planned to eat with you." Throughout the conversation, Hinata kept her head down and dared not look directly at Naruto.

"Really?! That's great! I just happened to be a little hungry." Naruto stopped his movements and walked quickly to Hinata.

Hinata took out the three-color Dango hidden behind.

"Huh? Is there only one?"

"I… before I came, I couldn't help but eat first. I left this one for you."

Naruto, with no trace of politeness, took the three-color Dango from Hinata.

First, he took the pink ball at the top, then eat it. While chewing it in his mouth, he spoke, "Come on, here you are. We eat each one."

Naruto's inadvertent move made Hinata dumbfounded on the spot!

The children in this world are relatively early mature. Hinata, as a girl, is even more so.

With a blank head, she didn't know how to respond to Naruto's doings to the three-color Dango. She dumbly looked at the only white and green balls and the bamboo sticks that Naruto had touched.

In her small head, numerous pictures appeared suddenly. Her imagination ran wild.

'This… Is this… Am I eating the same Dango with Naruto? Indirect…?'

Thinking of this, Hinata blushed for a moment and felt a little dizzy. But in order not to be ugly in front of Naruto, she resisted the dizziness and kept telling herself: can't faint, can't faint.

It's a pity that he didn't wait for her emotions to calm down. Naruto made a new move. He saw that Hinata was holding the three-color balls slowly and simply grabbed Hinata's hand, and then just put the three-color balls in front of Hinata's mouth…

'The touch of a small hand… The touch at the lips…'

This time, Hinata, whose heart was already beating fast, can't bear it anymore.

The result was a bang again. Holding the three-color Dango in her hand, and even with her cute mushroom head, she fainted happily…

The panic-stricken Naruto even cry out in surprise again: "Eh?! Hinata! Why did you faint again?!"

There were no accidents like the bullying yesterday, though. Yet, this appointment fell through.

Hinata was personally sent home by her escort.

Naruto looked a little lost at the retreating Hinata and the guards.

Seeing that it was finally time, Li Yaoxiang would certainly not miss this opportunity: "What's the matter, Naruto? Having made friends are you still not happy?"

"Ne~ big brother, you don't understand. Hinata's body is too weak. So easy to faint. We simply cannot play well together."

Li Yaoxiang put on a tone of hate iron for not becoming steel: "What's so disheartening? Then meet more friends!"

"But… but… But will anyone still make friends with me? Isn't everyone afraid of the big fox inside me?"

Li Yaoxiang: "Naruto, making friends is a two-sided matter. Why don't you make friends with people who are worthy to you?"

"Does anyone really accept me?" Naruto's eyes lit up.

Li Yaoxiang: "Of course! Have you ever wondered why Hinata is not afraid of you? That's because her clan is strong enough that they're not afraid that the fox in your body will hurt Hinata. So, as long as you make friends with the Great Clans' children, even if they don't want to, at least they won't be so afraid of you, will they?"

"Really?! That's great! But… big bro, who am I going to find?"

Speaking of it. Naruto finally got to the point of the topic.

Li Yaoxiang was relieved. Coaxing a child is really not easy.

Soon, Li Yaoxiang changed his relaxed tone. He said seriously: "Naruto, do you know the origin of the village?"

"The origin of the village?"

"Yes, the origin of the village! How the Konoha Village was created!"

"Oh! I know, I know! Grandpa Hokage told me that the Konoha Village was founded by 2 top-level clans and many clans together!"

"Then… do you know which two top clans are?"

When being asked that, Naruto was speechless. Because Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't talk about this matter with him at all. —Or to say, Sarutobi Hizen did not have the face to talk about this matter. After all, the two Great Clans in the past have withered since he took charge. So how can he mention this matter?

Of course, the reason why Li Yaoxiang mentions this matter today is not to dismantle the true face of the old fox but to continue the topic of 'making friends' and guide Naruto to his goal.

Without waiting for Naruto, Li Yaoxiang directly replied: "They are the First-Hokage, Senju Hashirama of the Senju Clan, and the Uchiha Clan. Guardians of Konoha."

"Oh, oh!" Although Naruto hasn't heard Senju Clan, hearing the reputation of the Guardians of Konoha, Naruto was unable to bear his excitement. After all, he had been walking on the street since he was a child and often saw guards patrolling.

Their outfits are in Naruto's heart. They are so handsome!

"Since you want to make friends, of course go to the largest clan in the village. As long as they are the children of the clan, they will definitely not be afraid of you!"

That's right! Li Yaoxiang's goal this time is Uchiha Sasuke!

As mentioned before, the genocide of the Uchiha clan has long been included in Naruto's darkening event book by Li Yaoxiang. Therefore, if you want Naruto to achieve the maximum darkening effect on this matter, it is to undoubtedly let Naruto participate in this event early!

The prerequisite for participating in this matter is, of course, to let Naruto and Sasuke meet each other in advance. As long as their relationship is better, then, when Naruto discovers the truth of this incident, his senses of the village will collapse and despair!

This is the purpose of Li Yaoxiang's operation.

Naruto had no doubt about Li Yaoxiang's remarks, but he put on an embarrassed face because he didn't know where Uchiha Clan's residence is at all.

"But… big brother, where is Uchiha Clan's residence? Do you know? Also, will there be a child as old as I am in their family? Even if there is, what can I do to be friends with them?"

Li Yaoxiang, who has a crystal ball and knew Uchiha Clan's specific location, certainly can't be bothering him. He quickly answered all Naruto's questions and taught him how to make friends with Sasuke.

After hearing this, Naruto did not doubt that he was there.

Soon, he moved towards the direction that the big brother Li Yaoxiang told him to go.

However, when he was about to run into the influence range of the Uchiha Clan, several Anbu ninjas who had been monitoring him blocked his way in front of him: "Uzumaki Naruto, this place is not something you can come to. You should go back."

Seeing the appearance of these ninjas, Naruto soon understood that they were Anbu ninjas who monitored him 24 hours a day.

Recalling the picture of being bullied at the beginning, he remembered this group of watchers' deeds. Without the slightest hesitation, Naruto labeled the "to forget favors and violate justice" to them.

Of course, the senses and attitudes towards them didn't get better. He immediately yelled angrily: "Why can't I go here?! Why can't you let me go here?! I am not your cat or dogs! Wherever I want to go, it's not your right!"

No matter how much Naruto argued, he still couldn't get rid of these 'ungrateful' fellows.

In the end, he had to run into the Hokage Residence with anger and reasoned with the old man instead.

…..

Hokage Residence, Hokage room.

As soon as Naruto was approved to enter here, he unceremoniously akimbo his hips, facing Sarutobi Hiruzen, and angrily asked: "Old fogey, why do they restrict me to where I go?! What do you think of me? Am I your cat and dog?! That you have to take care of wherever you go?! Even inside Konoha Village you have to limit where I go. Wouldn't you just be happy to shut me up for a life instead?!"

Since Naruto successfully got acquainted with Hyuga Hinata a few days ago, Sarutobi Hiruzen's tolerance for Naruto has become higher and higher. So even if Naruto was rude to him as a Hokage now, he was not angry.

Similarly, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had already received the news regarding Naruto's series of questions, was not surprised. However, he was a little curious. Why would Naruto go to Uchiha Clan's premises for no reason?

Whether there is nothing wrong with it, he still has to treat everything with caution.

"Naruto, can you tell this grandpa Hokage; why do you want to go there so much?"

There was no doubt in Naruto. He replied without hesitation: "What else? Am I not trying to make friends? Everyone is afraid of me; how do I make friends? I think they're strong, they shouldn't be afraid of me. Of course, I want to make friends there!"

Naruto said the exact words that Li Yaoxiang had taught him to answer without changing his face.

Hearing the fact that Naruto was just for making friends, Sarutobi Hiruzen's vigilance was relieved. He didn't know what he was afraid for.

After thinking again for a moment, in the end, he still accepted Naruto's request.

He commanded the Anbu ninjas to not stop Naruto. Only instructed them to send a few more people to guard around Naruto just in case.

…

Uchiha Clan's residence.

Several members of the guards who were still on patrol noticed that the situation was abnormal and then returned to the clan to report the situation to the Clan Leader, Uchiha Fugaku.

"Clan Leader, many Anbu are moving towards the direction of our clan. Will there be any problems?"

TL note: Fugaku Uchiha (Uchiha Fugaku) was a shinobi of Konohagakure. He was the head of the Uchiha clan as well as the leader of the Konoha Military Police Force.

"How many people are there?" Uchiha Fugaku said solemnly.

"About ten people."

It didn't take long. Another member of Uchiha walked in: "Clan Leader, Jinchuriki of Kyuubi, Uzumaki Naruto, shouted outside our gates, saying he wanted to challenge our Uchiha Clan. Let us send peers out to take up the challenge."

After hearing it, the members of the guard who came to report quickly cry out in surprise. "Clan Leader, is this the Third-Kage's trap?"

"Is there any possibility…?"

"Are they going to do something to us?"

A few people spoke out their doubts.

Similarly, these were also Uchiha Fugaku's inner doubts. He did not understand why the Third-Kage would let Jinchuriki Kyuubi come to their clan residence during this period. He also does not understand what Sarutobi Hiruzen really means.

'Is it a trap? Or to probe?'

Uchiha Fugaku narrowed his eyes and looked towards the direction of Hokage Residence. He thought for a moment. "It's okay, I'll go out and see. Told the clansmen to stay where they are and don't act rashly."

Uchiha Residence, outside the gate.

With his left hand in his waist, Naruto pointing at the door of Uchiha with his right hand, yelled: "Hey! Uzumaki Naruto, the son of Fourth-Hokage, now officially announced that he will challenge you Uchiha Clan! If you don't come out to fight, that means you're afraid of me!"

Naruto looks very arrogant on the surface. But, actually, he was worried about dying.

He kept asking more and more questions in his mind, "Big bro, this… this method is really possible? Wouldn't be right?"

"It's okay, you're right to listen to me! Uchiha Clan is a Noble Clan Great Clan correct? If you rush to contact them like this, they will recognize you. Rest assured, this is right!"

It didn't take long to communicate. The first person greeted Naruto quickly at the gate. That was Uchiha Fugaku.

Naruto, who had his big brother's repeated assurances, did not shudder. Instead, he continued to yell: "Hey! Who are you? What's the matter? Your Uchiha Clan has no one else to send out?"

Uchiha Fugaku glanced at this little tease. Not taking it too seriously. He immediately sensed the ten Anbu ninjas who were hiding in the surrounding area.

Seeing that they did nothing, Uchiha Fugaku grinned slightly and probed slightly: "What's wrong? Do you want to challenge Uchiha Clan? How about I be your opponent?"

Sure enough, when this remark came out, the ten Anbu ninjas hidden in the surroundings all have obvious fluctuations in their Chakra. But this volatility was quickly suppressed by them again.

Seeing that the other side had no plans to do anything more, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but get curious.

Curious about what they were doing.

It didn't take him too long to understand what was going on. Naruto's little voice crack attracted his attention again: "No no no! Does the Uchiha Clan bully the weak?! I don't want you to be my opponent! I want to challenge Uchiha member who is about my age!"

"I see!" Uchiha Fugaku paused and continued. "But before that, you need to tell me why you want to challenge our Uchiha Clan?"

"Does that still need to be said? Of course, I want to make friends-" Naruto, who knew he just slipped, quickly covered his mouth. He then rolled his eyes and changed his words, "You care about me? You are afraid of me, no? You don't dare to fight?"

Whether it was Uchiha Fugaku or the Uchiha members staying in the residence… When they heard Naruto's slip, everyone's expressions were strange.

Say that the reason Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, let the Jinchuriki come to them was no reason at all; they would not believe it. But since the other party didn't plan to do anything, Uchiha Fugaku guessed that this might just be a probe to them by the Konoha's high level. To probe Uchiha Clan's attitude towards the village is good or bad. And his guess was true.

'That must be the reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen let Naruto came here…'

Firstly, it is not good to reject Naruto. Naruto mustn't get hostile to the village after getting acquainted with the Uchiha.

Secondly, it's about the 'Demon Fox Incident'. Although he believed that this matter had nothing to do with Uchiha Clan, he could not understand who would have leaked Uzumaki Kushina's birth time.

In order to guard against the unexpected, he had to follow the guidelines of Shimura Danzo and the others to isolate Uchiha Clan.

The current intention is obvious. Jinchuriki was already in front of them. It depends on how they respond.

Of course, this was also because Sarutobi Hiruzen did not know that someone from the Uchiha clan had already awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. Otherwise, Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't do something like this.

Uchiha Fugaku, who guessed the truth pretty close, looked at the little thing in front of him with interest. Naruto's age was about the same age as his little son.

Looking at Naruto full of goose bumps, he began to feel guilty.

Uchiha Fugaku smiled slightly. He hooked his finger towards the rear. Immediately afterward, one Uchiha member came behind him. He turned his head to the clan member and whispered, "Go and call Sasuke out."

Not much time later, Sasuke, who was about the same height as Naruto, came out of the residence. He was confused.

As soon as he walked out and saw Uchiha Fugaku's silhouette, he ran happily and yelled, "Otou-san(dad)."

Uchiha Fugaku didn't look at Sasuke and still continued to watch Naruto and said, "The child in front of you is about to challenge our Uchiha Clan. Go protect Uchiha Clan's reputation. Don't let me down, understand?"

Sasuke looked in the direction of his father's eyes. Then, he saw Naruto, who was about the same age as him.

His father didn't wait for him to speak.

Naruto was overjoyed because he couldn't feel fear from Sasuke's eyes. He was immediately excited.

Isn't this what Naruto wanted?

'Big brother is right! The Great Clan's child isn't afraid of me!'

But Naruto soon concealed this excited expression. He didn't forget what the big brother said. If you want to make friends with the people of the Uchiha Clan, you must act more arrogantly than they do!

"Hey! Are you the representative sent by Uchiha Clan? Doesn't look like it~."

Sasuke took a few steps angrily: "Scoundrel! You are nothing!"

"Come on! Let me see how good you are."

"Come on! Who is afraid of whom?!"

The two big farts made a funny comparison. Just like this, under the gaze of everyone, they walked to the opposite side and put out the 'Seal of Opposition' very seriously.

The picture looked funny enough.

As soon as the seal of opposition ended, the two rushed fiercely toward the other side.

"HA!"

Imposing-manner on both sides looked pretty good. But the actual situation made everyone spectating speechless…

This wasn't a challenge or a duel. This was just two brats who are just extracting Chakra.

Sasuke is better. At least he put on a correct posture and punches.

As for Naruto… he kept spinning his hands a lot, and then he just rushed over to fight. —He, who had never learned any Taijutsu skills, relied on just rashness.

Not to mention, this strange way of attack really subverts Sasuke's worldview. The general knowledge taught by his family members was completely useless in front of Naruto.

When someone hits a straight punch, you have to hold up your hand to block it.

These were all nonsense.

This caused Sasuke to lay down and to conform with Naruto.

Moreover, what made Sasuke even angrier was that he didn't know who the yellow-haired Scoundrel in front of him was. From who he learned this indecent style?

Naruto didn't forget to whisper to him when he attacked: "Hey! Watch me! Watch me bite you!"

…

At the end of the fight, the two adorable brats were all hugging each other. Pulling their opponent's clothes tightly.

If it weren't for Uchiha Fugaku to call someone to pull the two brats away, Who knows how long they would fight!

After being pulled away, the two people also forgot to put 'Seal of Reconciliation'.

With a blue nose and a swollen nose, Naruto pointed at Sasuke and laughed arrogantly: "Hahahaha! You're good! This time, I beat you only a little bit. I hope you will be able to maintain your level in the next fight!"

Sasuke, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, was also carried away by someone. Hearing this, he kept struggling and cursing: "Scoundrel! It was me who beat you!"

So, the first war between Naruto and Sasuke ended here…

A week later, early in the morning.

The four Sasuke's family member were enjoying their breakfast warmly in the living room. Their breakfast was not too luxury. It is no different from the average family. It was a natto bibimbap, a small fried fish, and a bowl of miso soup.

Uchiha Clan's family style was relatively serious. And generally speaking, they tend to be more reticent when dining. However, ever since Sasuke met Naruto, he has become more cheerful, lively, and active.

The atmosphere at home has become very lively.

Although Uchiha Fugaku sometimes scolded Sasuke, the scolding was just verbal, nothing serious. In fact, their family was very satisfied with the new atmosphere brought by Sasuke. This also made Sasuke's behavior become bolder.

Today, after he had just eaten a few bites of rice, he then put down the tableware and said, "Otou-san, Okaa-san, Nii-san, I am full. Can I go out?"

"What nonsense-?! How much have you eaten? Don't worry about playing now, and eat. Otherwise, I won't let you out!" Uchiha Mikoto told Sasuke angrily to finish.

Sasuke was startled. With a miserable expression on his face, he walked to her mother, shaking her wrists and shaking: "Uh~~~ Mother, I have an appointment with Naruto, that scoundrel. I will fight him again today. If I'm late, he would talk nonsense to me again, saying that I was afraid of him. I don't want to be late~ Mother."

"I don't care. Anyway, if you don't finish eating, you won't go out!" Uchiha Mikoto suddenly put on the appearance of a strict mother.

Seeing that acting coquettishly didn't work, Sasuke hurried back to his seat and quickly ate the rice.

And at this moment, Uchiha Itachi also showed a smile of rarely seen, looked towards Sasuke: "What's wrong? Are you not Naruto's opponent?"

Sasuke immediately replied with wide eyes: "What's not 'an opponent'? That scoundrel Naruto is not my opponent of course! Also, if only Nii-san finally teach me, then there's no way that scoundrel Naruto could hurt me!"

Uchiha Itachi pushed Sasuke's forehead with his finger and said with a smile: "Aren't I busy? Don't worry, I'll teach you whenever I have time."

"Che, liar. You say that every time." Sasuke rubbed his forehead, a face of bitterness said.

Immediately afterward, he stopped talking to everyone.

To avoid being late, Sasuke used an unprecedented speed of eating.

The breakfast that belonged to him was swept away in a blink of an eye. Even miso wasn't left a bit. Without looking back, he hurriedly ran out of the door: "Otou-san, Okaa-san, Nii-san, I'm full! I'm going out first!"

The footsteps gradually receded.

After Sasuke left, the living room returned to a serious atmosphere.

Uchiha Fugaku, who was enjoying breakfast elegantly, asked casually: "What's wrong? Busy these days? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

"No, I just wanted to exercise more, so I took more missions."

"That's right. Even if you awakened Sharingan, don't get careless."

Hearing this, the ball of rice caught by his chopsticks was put down. And an "official" smile was put on: "Understood, father. I will definitely work hard. I'm stuffed. I still have a mission to do, so I will go out first. Otou-san, Okaa-san, please take it easy."

Neither Uchiha Mikoto nor Uchiha Fugaku noticed Itachi's strangeness.

…..

After breakfast was over, Uchiha Fugaku quickly returned to the Konoha Guard building.

[TL note: The Konoha Military Police Force is — as the name suggests — the judicial organisation of Konohagakure. Initially believed to have been founded by the Uchiha, in actuality, it was founded by the Second Hokage, and was given to the Uchiha as a sign of trust and good faith between the Senju and themselves.]

Shortly after arriving, nearly 7 members of the clan ran into his office. These 7 members were almost all representatives of the younger generation in the clan.

Before Uchiha Fugaku's chair hadn't been warmed up yet, the group of people in front of him made him feel down.

"Clan Leader, they didn't trust us at all! Otherwise, the Jinchuriki wouldn't just come to us. Why should we send someone to guard him?!"

"Yes, Clan Leader. If we don't do it now, do we have to wait for death?"

"Clan Leader! We can't wait any longer! Since Third-Kage took over Konoha, none of the big influences of the past have had a good result! This is the case for the Uzumaki family, and the same is for the Senju Clan! The next one is our turn!"

Uchiha Fugaku's heart was very complicated. He did not want to start a civil war. But the clan members were right.

Uzumaki Clan was gone. Senju Clan, the top clan like them, was gone too.

Coupled with the deliberate suppression and isolation from Third-Kage and the others over the years, this made the entire Uchiha Clan family members felt very uneasy., Making them wonder whether Third-Kage and the others have an ulterior motive and worry about whether the next clan who will be exterminated is them.

In order not to sit still, most members of the clan chose to rise up to resist. Everyone's emotions have even reached an uncontrolled level.

"You calm down first. The matter may not be as serious as you said. Didn't they send the Jinchuriki only to probe us? As long as we stand down, there should be no problem." Uchiha Fugaku did not give up trying to persuade them.

Unfortunately, in recent years… every day, he was scorned and watched by his own companions.

The location of the clan residence was intentionally surrounded by the rest of the Great Clans. Every day, they lived in frightening days. The members of Uchiha Clan have long been driven to go crazy by Konoha. How can they hear Uchiha Fugaku's dissuasion again anymore?

"Clan Leader! Have you ever thought about the clan?!"

"Do you know that your decision may cost the whole clan's life?!"

Everyone kept saying the same thing to him.

The sentiment was raging.

If they don't achieve their goal, they won't let go either.

In desperation, after procrastinating for so long, Uchiha Fugaku finally accepted the matter of 'power seizure' and repeatedly warned: "Remember, everyone. Without full preparation, do not to act alone!"

Although it was promised, Uchiha Fugaku still hoped to delay it for a while. Hoping to find a solution that has the best of both worlds. The best thing is to solve the whole thing perfectly without shedding single blood.

After the clan members got a positive answer from Uchiha Fugaku, they all expressed excitement because they finally saw hope! No need to sit and wait anymore!

After making that decision, of course, it was indispensable for everyone to discuss the specific details of the 'power seizure' and the allocation work. Some people went to investigate the terrain and the time when the Great Clans would be in and out. Some people go to strengthen their armed forces and so on.

After the initial plan was implemented, the Uchiha Clan member in the office left with satisfaction.

In this way, Naruto's appearance did not affect the decision of the Uchiha clan. They still went to the original track…

Time flies.

In a flash, 2 years have passed.

Konoha open space near the jungle.

DING!

CLANG!

At the moment, two five-year-old children were fighting fiercely in the open space. The Kunai in their hands kept attacking and blocking, making a loud collision sound.

They fought for a while.

Wearing a black turtleneck with a fan pattern on the back, the child was clearly in a disadvantaged position. Seeing himself who was in a bad position, he clenched his teeth. He did several backflips in a row.

It opened a certain distance against his opponent.

He smoothly retracted his Kunai back to his waist and quickly did a hand seal with both hands. Immediately afterward, the Chakra made his body gradually become hot. Next, to the esophagus, pouring into the throat cavity, the hot energy swelled the entire mouth. Then, a raging fire squirted out of his mouth!

'GREAT FIREBALL JUTSU!'

A large fireball ruthlessly attacked his opponent.

After the Ninjutsu was launched, the black smoke rose from the place where his opponent was.

Waiting for the black smoke to dissipate…

Unfortunately, his opponent was missing.

The rest was just a piece of charred wood.

At this moment, an unpleasant voice came into the ears of the child who had just launched the Ninjutsu: "Hahahaha! Sasuke, are you stupid? Even if you know how to use Ninjutsu, you still have to hit the opponent! Now that you don't have Chakra anymore, why are you still my opponent? Admit defeat! This is your 599th loss to me! Hahahahaha!"

Sasuke, gasping for breath, looked reluctantly towards the direction of the sound.

It was a yellow-haired kid who looked arrogant and despotic.

At that moment, the kid with yellow hair was standing on a tree trunk with his hands shoulder-to-shoulder, looking down on Sasuke on the ground, who looked a little embarrassed on the ground.

"Damn it! Scoundrel Naruto! I haven't lost yet! You come down to me! Let's keep fighting!"

"Come on! Who is afraid of whom?" After speaking, Naruto's soles pressed against the tree trunk ran down and rushed towards Sasuke.

The two men fought with Taijutsu this time.

This confrontation was no longer the kind of fight that was 2 years ago. Both sides were methodical in fighting. Obviously, in the past two years, the two people have grown a lot.

Hitting, hitting…

Sasuke gradually fell into the losing end.

First, a punch in the abdomen, then a palm in the cheek, and finally, the whole person was beaten back by Naruto. Sasuke clutched his abdomen and face, staring at Naruto with resentment, and said, "Damn it! Who taught you Taijutsu? How can you improve so much?"

"Ha! I'm extraordinarily talented! I am self-taught! Anyway, you lost! Don't forget, if you lose again, you will break through the 600th mark!"

Seeing that the two stopped fighting, Hinata, who was watching the whole process, walked over with two boxes of bento and said weakly: "I have been practicing for so long, let's have a meal together. This is the food I made myself…"

Hinata handed a bento to Sasuke and one to Naruto.

The two people took the lunch, they opened at the same time to see.

Sasuke looked at his bento and at Naruto's bento.

The inside of his bento was ordinary. Filled with onigiri(triangular seaweed rice balls).

And Naruto's bento; although it was also filled with onigiri, the shape of that onigiri is a 'love' shape. There were several small sausages next to it as side dishes.

This scene made Sasuke speechless.

However, what's even more hateful is that Naruto didn't forget to laugh at him. "Hahahaha! Sasuke, you're so unlucky! You chose the bad lunch box again."

Sasuke was so angry that he turned away immediately.

Looking at these two guys, Hinata blushed and looked down when Naruto reacted.

"Huh? Hinata, what about you?"

"I… I… I forgot to bring …"

"Hey~ why are you always like this? It's okay, I'll eat with you."

"Un."

Sasuke, who turned his back to them, was almost so angry that he didn't catch their conversation. He grabbed the onigiri and bit it hard! He seemed to treat his onigiri as Naruto to vent.

So, the two of them spent their happy day happily like this.

In the past 2 years, the relationship between Naruto and Sasuke can be said to be closer than in the original work. Hinata was even more so. The three people would gather together almost every day. —To exercise. Or go shopping. Or playing.

The relationship of the three people has gradually become inseparable.

Of course, in addition to the close relationship, the strengths of the three have also progressed by leaps and bounds.

Tree climbing, walking on water, and other techniques to control Chakra. Needless to say, Li Yaoxiang had already taught Naruto in advance, and Hinata and Sasuke also learned them with Naruto, by the way.

Sasuke was the first to learn Ninjutsu due to his clan.

Hinata had also been able to use 'Eight Trigrams and Sixteen Palms' perfectly because of these 6 years of exercise. Her performance has been praised and recognized by Hyuga Hiashi. She has not stopped her from staying with Naruto and Sasuke from time to time.

[TL note: The Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms is a manoeuvre of the Gentle Fist fighting style. It is essentially a halved version of the already halved Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms. This technique is used to close off the flow of chakra through sixteen chakra points of an opponent's chakra pathway system. This eliminates their ability to use chakra for quite some time and renders them unconscious.]

Naruto; in addition to the Three-Style Jutsu taught by Li Yaoxiang thoroughly, what he is most proud of is his basic body technique. This is where his strength is far ahead of Sasuke and Hinata. The main contributor to this result is, of course, Li Yaoxiang. After all, Naruto's basic main body technique was carefully taught by Li Yaoxiang.

But why did he have such a strong result in basic body technique too? Very simple. That is because Li Yaoxiang had already consumed 2 darkening points through the system mall two years ago and purchased the ability of 'base main body proficient'.

The main purpose was to make Naruto's strength one step ahead of others! The reason why he only taught Naruto Three-Style Jutsu and the main body technique but did not teach other exceptional Ninjutsu, all just to let Naruto embark on 'Peak of Life'!

It wasn't to make Naruto a top powerhouse! Instead, from beginning to end, Li Yaoxiang's purpose darkening Naruto.

What's the connection between strong Naruto and darkening him, you ask? Wouldn't that make Naruto directly use force to solve everything perfectly? Therefore, in a good period of time in the future, if not necessary, Li Yaoxiang will not improve Naruto's strength again and even deliberately prevent others from improving Naruto's strength! Otherwise, a little carelessness will affect his subsequent darkening plan.

Seeing such a warm picture of Naruto and the others today, Li Yaoxiang couldn't help but feel a little relieved. After all these years of hard work has not been in vain.

While Li Yaoxiang looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction, the crystal ball in the space of consciousness suddenly showed a picture that he had to pay attention to…

Hokage Residence, Conference Hall.

In the Conference Hall at the moment, in addition to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu present, Uchiha Shisui was here.

But they were not sitting around and discussing something.

Uchiha Shisui was standing opposite them, which seemed a bit like being examined.

"Shisui, you asked us give you time, and we have already given it. But now your clan situation; I believe we do not need to say more. You should also know it. Your clan has recently begun to strengthen its armed forces. What the intention is obvious. Is it time for you to have a choice?" It was Shimura Danzo who spoke.

In order to get more Sharingan, he would ruthlessly push the Uchiha clan to death almost as soon as he finds an opportunity. But, of course, what he said was not unrealistic.

Ever since Uchiha Clan members forced Uchiha Fugaku to submit two years ago, Uchiha Clan members began to move around. Deploy various plans.

It's just that even if they do it secretly, it was still unavoidable that these old foxes, who have long been wary of them, found signs.

The reason why Shimura Danzo would say that Shisui was given enough time is that shortly after the Uchiha were discovered, the four old men sent the most 'sociable' Sarutobi Hiruzen to face Shisui honestly. The result was no surprise. This Shisui, which had high hopes from the clan, was easily countered by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The excuses described were nothing more than the question of whether the village will really be besieged and so on after both lose.

Shisui, who was heavily influenced by grandfather Uchiha Kagami, certainly couldn't bear to see this happen. Therefore, in order to prevent the village from facing the clan's blade, Shisui promised the clan in name and would look for opportunities to start, and then inform the Hokage. In fact, he has become a double agent.

He would report the situation in the clan to the Konoha high-level folks. And on the one hand, he reported the clan's situation to those old fellows to show his loyalty so that they can feel at ease. He kept telling the clan that he couldn't find an opportunity and kept delaying time.

His purpose was to act as a peacemaker. To try to get as much time as possible, hoping to find a balance point to let the village and the clan resolve this matter peacefully.

Unfortunately… After working hard for so long, he still couldn't eliminate the mistrust of the clan members towards the village. This sense of distrust, instead, grows with each passing day.

Of course, what he didn't know is that thanks to Shimura Danzo's various small actions, no matter how hard he tried, it was destined to be this way.

Hearing Shimura Danzo's words, Shisui quickly cry out in surprise: "Please trust me, and give me a little more time! Then, I will definitely be able to change the idea of clan!"

Seeing Shisui still persisting, even the other three elders couldn't overlook it.

Mitokado Homura: "Shisui, it's not that we don't want to give you time, but that the situation is critical and we can't delay it any longer."

Utatane Koharu: "Yes, Shisui. If you get your clan ready, it may cause both sides to suffer. When the time comes…"

"Please believe me! Believe me for the last time. I will do it this time!" Shisui struggled so hard that his movements became panic.

Seeing this, they looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen subconciously. Motioned him to solve the problem in front of him soon.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also sighed: "Shisui- I have been with your grandfather for many years. We watched you grow up together. Your grandfather and us all hope you can inherit the Will of Fire. I hope you don't let us down."

It's grandfather again.

Grandfather was also used to influence Shisui's ideas. Sarutobi Hiruzen's favorite is playing the emotional cards. To firmly lock his target in the village.

In the beginning, Sarutobi Hiruzen was constantly using Uchiha Kagami in front of Shisui. So, it was so easy to successfully instigate Shisui. And it was the same now.

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen talking about the word 'grandfather', Shisui couldn't help but struggle.

Immediately after he clenched his teeth, he said firmly again: "Please believe me, I will succeed this time!"

While speaking, Shisui this time is even red… open… he opened his Mangekyo Sharingan naked in front of them.

They were shocked! Emotionally tension! The atmosphere in the Conference Hall instantly dimmed to the extreme.

Until now, wasn't what they were most afraid of the Mangekyo Sharingan? They knew very well that Mangekyo Sharingan was the main Dojutsu that can even control Kyuubi!

Now that Shisui has opened Mangekyo Sharingan, what does this mean? How does this not make them nervous?

Without waiting too long, Shisui quickly confessed: "My pair of eyes- this Dojutsu can change the memory and thinking of others! Please believe me! If I were to use Dojutsu this time, I would definitely solve the clan problem!"

Shisui said like it was nothing. But his Dojutsu's ability…

In this Conference Hall, the four old faces became extremely ugly. How could they not think of the horror of Dojutsu?

Just a split second ago, they had already thought of countless kinds of applications of this Dojutsu. Because of this, they only became more afraid of Shisui now.

After four people exchanged glances… still Sarutobi Hiruzen came forward to solve this problem. Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately replaced his expression with a kind expression: "Very good, Shisui. You didn't let me- let you grandfather disappointed. In that case, I won't stop you. We will let it go. I believe you will be able to solve this problem perfectly."

"Thank you very much! Third-Kage, please rest assured that I will not let you down this time!" Shisui's expression rejoiced. Immediately with a determined look, he left the Conference Hall.

After Shisui leaves.

The atmosphere in the Conference Hall seemed to become a pool of stagnant water. They could not speak for a long time.

In the end, Shimura Danzo took the lead to start to talk and said: "How serious is the problem with Shisui; I believe I don't need to say it. That child cannot be left alone!"

After Shimura Danzo expressed his thoughts, there was no rebuttal from the rest of the three people. After all, Shimura Danzo was right.

Now, Shisui… the threat to them was too great!

The most disturbing thing was that in addition to controlling Kyuubi, Shisui could completely change people's memory and thinking!

The four elders who are suspicious, how can they put everyone's safety on Shishui's loyalty?

This brainwashing plan; no one can say for sure!

Shisui said he would use Dojutsu on his clansman. But who would dare to guarantee that Shisui will not fight back against them and use it on them?

For an instant, the pressure Shisui put on them was even better than the other Uchiha clan's 'political… change' plan!

Seeing the three old close friends didn't refute or stop him. Shimura Danzo, who was familiar with them, knew what was going on. Isn't this the kind of thing that hurts your own friend, and that's why you don't want to say it from your own mouth?

Hehe. The typical one is to be both a bitch and a torii.

[TL note: A torii (Japanese: toɾii) is a traditional Japanese gate most commonly found at the entrance of or within a Shinto shrine, where it symbolically marks the transition from the mundane to the sacred.]

Shimura Danzo glanced at them contemptuously and then turned and left the Hokage Residence…

In the jungle.

After leaving Hokage Residence, Shisui did not walk back to Uchiha Clan's residence from the right path. Instead, he entered the jungle. He intended to bypass the side because he knew that this matter could no longer be delayed.

He intended to start today!

But when he just wanted to move forward, he was suddenly attacked! He avoided this wave of attacks with a jump. But the attackers had no intention of stopping.

The attacks were endless.

Finally, after avoiding a series of attacks by this group of attackers, Shisui took the opportunity to escape from the jungle to get a better field of view.

Because of this, he finally saw the true face of the attackers!

Root ninjas!

It was the same as his original guess. But, even when the truth was in front of him, he still couldn't relieve his heart because he didn't understand whether the Root's attack on him this time was made by some people, or…

Shisui no longer dared to think anymore.

It didn't take long for the secret mastermind who planned the attack. Shimura Danzo walked out of the jungle unabashedly and expressed his views blatantly.

It is said that the ability of Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan should not be used for such small things as "politics change".

Because the village would no longer take Uchiha Clan lightly again, Uchiha Clan will also walk to the opposite side of the village sooner or later. He did not conceal his intention to make Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan be his.

Both sides have an equal chance of winning. So, in order to probe the strength of Shisui, Danzo first ordered his subordinates to retreat, and then the two began to fight.

During the fight, Shisui can be said to hold back at all times. There was no killing intent at all.

But just as the battle between the two was about to end, Shisui's mind flashed involuntarily 2 years ago, a commoner who left Konoha and inadvertently asked him a few words!

'Wouldn't so many people want to have it? Do you think a non-Uchiha can own Sharingan?'

As soon as these two sentences flashed, Shisui's view of Danzo became involuntarily suspicious. He looked subconsciously at Danzo's right eye wrapped in bandages.

After hesitating for a while, he made a decision. That is, he was going to verify a probability that even he himself found unbelievable!

'Mangekyo Sharingan!'

He looked directly at Danzo's right eye. He began to feel it carefully.

Just as expected… He got the answer he didn't want most!

Konoha's high level, Shimura Danzo!

Sure enough, he transplanted a Sharingan from his clan! Even though Danzo, at this time, wasn't using Sharingan, but that feeling of his pupil's power of the same clan, he would not mistake it!

'Asshole! What exactly does this mean?!'

'If someone from the top Konoha covets our clan's Sharingan, does it mean that regardless of the development between the village and the clan, it will never have a good result for Uchiha Clan?! If for the sake of the big picture, we sacrificed ourselves, it won't matter at all?'

The thought that it was because of this unscrupulous thing that causes harm to the clan made Shisui unable to bear it.

That's right. For the village, maybe he will sacrifice clan…

For the reputation of the clan and for the continuation of the clan, he would not hesitate to bear the infamy of using Genjutsu against his own clan members.

'But anyway, this guy who glares like a tiger watching his prey to my clan's eyes absolutely can't leave alive!'

The village and the clan… but first, eliminate this tumor that hurts Konoha!

At this moment, when Shisui faced Danzo, he finally moved his killing intention! In the next attack, he would not keep his hand anymore!

Sensing it, Danzo wanted to call his subordinates to come to the rescue, but unfortunately, it was too late. The serious Shisui used the Mangekyo Sharingan. Danzo finally couldn't escape Shisui's ultimate move and eventually fell down.

A group of Root ninjas flashed to the edge of the jungle. Looking at Danzo's corpse, they were all at a loss.

Shisui had no mercy on the fallen Danzo.

Seeing the group of Root ninjas in front of him, Shisui turned around and left without any intention of doing anything.

But at that moment, the words from the civilian who left Konoha flashed again in Shisui's mind. 'Since your ninjas' abilities are so weird. Say… Is there an ability that can bring people back to life?'

As soon as this sentence floated through his head, Shisui suddenly became alert!

'Izanagi!'

Thinking of Danzo's right eye, Shisui thought of Izanagi. But all this was too late. Because when he was about to jump off, Danzo took the lead. Danzo came from behind and gave him a fatal blow.

"Pu…" Shisui's mouth was full of fresh blood.

But it was unlike in the original series. Shisui was vigilant in advance. Although he did not escape Danzo's fatal blow, he managed to escape from Danzo's palm that wanted to capture his eyes.

After Danzo pulled his hand, Shisui, who was suffering from serious injury, couldn't help kneeling down on one knee. A lot of blood oozed out of his mouth. He looked up and stared at Danzo. "…Why?"

As if Danzo had already won, he had no plans to hide it. He walked toward Shisui and said, "Let your eyes make the most contribution to the village."

Shisui sneered, really…

In order not to let Danzo's treachery succeed, Shisui took out a Smoke Bomb and smashed it.

Then he tried his best to escape from the scene.

Of course, Danzo would not allow him to leave. So, he ordered the Root ninjas to chase him down.

In the process of chasing and fleeing, it was exactly the same as the development of original work. Itachi appeared when Shisui was about to die. His timely appearance saved Shisui from the Root's hands.

After telling Itachi the reason for the incident, Itachi obeyed Shisui's instructions. However, he didn't take Shisui to treatment but instead came to the cliff of Naka River.

[TL note: The Naka River, Naka no Kawa, Viz: Nakano River, literally meaning: River of Southern Joy is a river flowing through Konohagakure. The river is located on the land where the Uchiha clan once lived and prospered, and at some point, it passes through a deep ravine.]

Although Shishui can use 'Izanagi' to recover from his injuries, he did not do so because he knew that it would not help.

Regardless of whether the attack was made by Danzo or the village's decision, the other party will not give up his eyes as long as he survives for a day. It may start the riot in advance.

Therefore, to prevent everyone from getting hurt in order to fight for his eyes, Shisui chose the river to kill himself, just like in the original work.

Before dying, he entrusted his will to Itachi. He also handed over his pair of Mangekyo Sharingan to Itachi, hoping to help Itachi solve the conflict between the clan and the village.

And thus, Itachi also opened his Mangekyo Sharingan!

Seeing the scene, Li Yaoxiang couldn't help but feeling that Konoha's four elders were cruel. Shisui said to them that he would do it regardless of his past sentiments.

Shisui was also the grandson of their old close friend, Uchiha Kagami. The four elders didn't even think twice. They collectively agreed.

In fact, before transmigrated, Li Yaoxiang once suspected that Shisui's plead didn't really matter. After all, Shisui's choice was made only after Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed.

For every Shisui's actions, wouldn't Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others pay close attention to him? And with the crystal ball of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two elders' many manpower; wouldn't they understand that Danzo wants to kill Shisui?

Therefore, based on various doubts, Li Yaoxiang suspected that Shisui's death was Konoha's four elders' decision. And now, after transmigrating here and seeing this picture through the crystal ball, it confirmed Li Yaoxiang's conjecture.

Although he had some sympathy for Shisui's experience, Li Yaoxiang was still hard-hearted and has no intention of changing Shisui's destiny. He didn't want to ruin his entire darkening plan because of his temporary weakness.

And one more important point is that Li Yaoxiang suspected that the people or things involved in the Uchiha Clan's destruction might not be as simple as it seems. He suspected that Uchiha Madara, Obito, and Black Zetsu, and the others hidden behind the scenes might also be involved.

You know, although these three all have a common goal, which is to collect the Tailed Beast!

This big clan; there will be a group of 2, 3, 4 members awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan in the future. How would they collect the Tailed Beast then?

If their member can control every Tailed Beast when the time comes, wouldn't Uchiha Clan become their biggest stumbling block?

In addition to the original work, when Itachi was wiping the clan, Obito was already there to help, making Li Yaoxiang more confident in his guess. Therefore, whether it's his own darkening plan that demands it or to avoid these big bosses, as long as Li Yaoxiang is a little sane, he cannot prevent this tragedy.

After clearing his thoughts, Li Yaoxiang stopped thinking too much.

However, one thing he was thankful for was that he didn't expect his random move in the dark chess would have such a huge effect in his favor.

Shimura Danzo did not get 'Kotoamatsukami'. In other words, in the days to come, Li Yaoxiang would no longer have to worry about Naruto being affected by Danzo's Kotoamatsukami!

This was good news for him! No longer need to be checked and balanced because of Kotoamatsukami! It made it more convenient to act!

But being happy can wait. In this period of time, it was not the time for Li Yaoxiang to be idle. After all, no one knows whether the butterfly effect will cause or prevent the death of Shisui, which can make a huge difference. Therefore, he must pay close attention to the movements of all parties, just in case.

…

Uchiha Clan's residence, Clan hall.

At this moment, almost all members of the Uchiha clan gathered in the clan hall.

The reason why there is such a grand scene was because they received the news of Shisui's death, which for them, like thunder from a clear sky. Because Shisui was an important ace in their plan to seize power.

In the entire Uchiha Clan, only Shisui could enter and leave the Hokage Residence at will. Therefore, as long as they do not want to cause a lot of casualties when they seize power, they must have a spy like Shisui, which could cooperate with them inside and outside.

It can be said that Shisui's death completely disrupted their overall plan.

"Damn it! Why did Shisui suddenly die?!"

"Did the village discover something?"

"The last person I saw when Shisui died is Itachi! Could it be Itachi…"

There were noises in the hall.

When he heard someone doubting his son, Uchiha Fugaku immediately interrupted: "Enough! Shisui's things end here! Now it's no use saying that! The most important thing at the moment is that we must know what the village attitude is. We must prepare in advance! The original plan; we put on hold for now. After this matter fades, everyone will make a decision. Moreover, now that there is no Shisui to cooperate with us both internally and externally, we are not in a good spot."

In the hall, most members of the Uchiha Clan were full of unwilling expressions. But the facts are exactly as Clan Leader Fugaku said. They had nothing to say.

In the end, they had to follow Fugaku's instructions to bide one's time.

…

Hokage Residence, In Conference Hall.

After confirming that Shisui had died, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu did not feel saddened by the death of their grandson but felt relieved.

Only Shimura Danzo's face looked as ugly as eating shit.

Seeing his old friends who didn't take it seriously, Shimura Danzo was unable to bear it and said: "What's wrong? Do you think this thing is over? Don't forget, we can't find Shisui's corpse until now! You believe the words of Itachi? Uchiha's problems have not been solved yet, so are you relaxing now?"

Mitokado Homura: "Danzo, there is nothing we can do. Without Shisui's report, we have no clue about Uchiha's internals. We shouldn't act careless. Do you want to see a large number of casualties in the village?"

Utatane Koharu: "That's right. In case other villages take advantage of it, it's not good."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Let me probe the child, Itachi. He is a little different from other Uchiha Clan people. Maybe we can let him replace Shisui's position, so that the village loss can be minimized."

…

Hokage room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen called Itachi to meet him alone.

"Itachi, I've heard what happened. I am very sorry for Shisui's death. The loss of Shisui is a great loss to the village. The village can't stand anymore loss. I hope you can replace Shisui and fulfill his mission during his lifetime." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought he would need to use a lot of lip service before Itachi could accept.

"Of course, Lord-Hokage. Needless to say, I agreed to this matter. But I have a request."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was slightly surprised, then nodded and said: "Say it."

"I need you to give me a period of time to solve the problem of clan. If it really cannot be changed, then I will act according to your arrangements. Before that, I will also explain the situation of the clan."

After a moment of consideration, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally agreed.

If the Uchiha Clan can be solved without a single dead, it is undoubtedly the best result for the village. So he had no reason to refuse.
