Naruto: I'm in Konoha, my name is Uzumaki Menma

Chapter 43 Genius Girl Uchiha Izumi
Inside the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi's, pipe glowed intermittently.

On the table in front of him was a pursuit report written by Kakashi.

Two weeks have passed since Orochimaru's defection. Kakashi brought the unconscious Yamato back to the village.

After treatment, Kakashi and Yamato reached a consensus that they did not want Yukimi to get involved.

So the two concealed some information, hiding the matter of the Ibri clan, and only reported to Danzo and the Third Hokage. They encountered Orochimaru and the 'Shura' who came to their aid, and the two seemed to have reached some kind of agreement.

Orochimaru escaped from the Land of Fire, 'Shura' injured Yamato, and Kakashi was also defeated.

But for reasons unknown, the other party let them go.

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not blame Kakashi, but simply told Kakashi and Yamato to take good care of their injuries.

Then there's the issue of Yamato's placement. Hiruzen Sarutobi has recently been pondering how to snatch Yamato from Danzo's hands.

After all, Danzo's Root was nominally under the command of the Anbu, and Yamato was a Konoha ninja, so he naturally had to obey the Hokage's orders.

However, if Yamato's ideology still leans towards serving Danzo, then even if Yamato joins the Anbu, it will only make it easier for Danzo to plant a pawn within the Anbu.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was well-versed in the Will of Fire and knew that if Yamato was to truly become a Konoha ninja, he had to break free from the idea of ​​loyalty to Danzo. Changing one's mindset was much more difficult than changing one's position or status.

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi was not in a hurry to demand Yamato from Danzo.

But one wave subsides only for another to rise.

Konoha Police Department Chief Fugaku Uchiha presented an investigation report.

"What did you say? 'Shura' is here again?!" When Hiruzen Sarutobi heard Fugaku Uchiha's report, his old face under the Hokage hat showed astonishment, and the pipe in his hand also paused for a moment.

It's worth noting that after the attack a month ago and Orochimaru's defection half a month ago, Hiruzen Sarutobi dispatched Konoha's sensory ninjas to work with the barrier team to inspect the entire village's protective barrier. They did find several gaps and repaired them.

Now, the Konoha Police Department has reported that 'Shura' may be back!

Do you think Konoha is a public toilet? You can come and go as you please!
Fugaku Uchiha delivered his prepared statement: "The exact time cannot be determined at the moment. It is possible that it was left over from the past, but was hidden and was only discovered by the shop owner's family now."

call--

"Are you sure it was 'Shura' who did it?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice came from under his straw hat.

“On that night, I don’t think it could have been a village ninja who was capable of doing that.” Fugaku Uchiha’s words made the air in the office even more stagnant.

Are you going to suspect a mysterious enemy, or are you going to suspect one of your own village's ninjas?
Choose one yourself.

"I understand. Let's leave it at that for now. He's paid the money." Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his pipe, slowly exhaling a puff of smoke. His aged voice came from beneath his straw hat.

"Yes, Lord Hokage!" Fugaku Uchiha left the office.

After Fugaku left, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the Konoha Police Department's report, completely baffled.

'What is the purpose of a strong person like you?' Hiruzen Sarutobi even suspected that this mysterious ninja was the same mysterious person who caused the Nine-Tails' attack three years ago, killing the Fourth Hokage and his wife, as well as his own wife, Biwako.

However, many ninjas saw the Sharingan pattern in the Nine-Tails' eyes that night, but the abilities that 'Shura' displayed never had any connection to the Sharingan or the Uchiha clan.

Neither the reports from the Hiashi brothers nor the intelligence from spies lurking in Kumogakure revealed any abilities or ninjutsu related to the Sharingan.

That spiral-shaped spherical ninjutsu is somewhat similar to Minato Namikaze's self-created ninjutsu.

"Ah, these are turbulent times." Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly rose from his chair and walked to the window.

I happened to see Fugaku leaving the Hokage Building and walking down the street.

"And the Uchiha clan..." Recently, the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village has intensified, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Hokage, feels this deeply.

If the discontent of the Uchiha clan cannot be resolved, will it be exploited by those with ulterior motives? Hiruzen Sarutobi's brows were furrowed like deep ravines.

------

After leaving the Hokage Building, Fugaku headed straight towards the Uchiha clan's territory.

The Uchiha clan, the largest ninja clan in Konoha, has its clan headquarters located in the most remote area of ​​the village.

As Fugaku Uchiha passed by the river not far from the clan's territory, he saw two familiar figures sitting on a small dock by the river.

The short-haired boy took a string of three-colored dumplings from the girl's hand.

"Is it Itachi and... Izumi?" Fugaku Uchiha, as the father, smiled and did not disturb the two young people who were just beginning to experience love.

"I wonder if Sasuke will be angry when he finds out his brother has a girlfriend?" Fugaku even felt a little expectant, thinking of his youngest son who was very dependent on Itachi.

This kind of family warmth brings even deeper emotions to the Uchiha clan, who value 'love'.

The emotional pain of losing loved ones or close friends will stimulate the evolution of the Sharingan.

"Hey, Itachi, how is it? Is it delicious?" On the small dock, Uchiha Izumi smiled broadly, eager to hear Uchiha Itachi's evaluation.

Her long, jet-black hair slid down gently as she tilted her head. Although she was still young, a beauty mark under her right eye added to her beauty.

She was a beauty from a young age.

"Mmm, delicious." This was the first time Itachi Uchiha had been treated to such sweets. Izumi's warmth slowly opened a crack in Itachi's heart, and he developed a fondness for this gentle and bright girl.

This budding affection brought a different life experience to Itachi Uchiha, who was contemplating the meaning of life.

Suddenly, the weasel turned its head to look up at the top of the riverbank.

A familiar figure is turning and leaving.

'It seems to be my father.' Itachi has already awakened his Sharingan, and his perception abilities far surpass those of an ordinary genin.

This was all thanks to Obito's 'help', who killed Itachi's teammate while Itachi was on a mission, which prompted Itachi to awaken his Sharingan.

However, Itachi Uchiha would have to wait a few more years until Shisui died before he could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"I'm going home now." Itachi placed the unfinished dumpling on the lotus leaf in Izumi's hand, and got up to leave like a scumbag.

"He really doesn't understand romance." Izumi sighed as she watched Itachi's lonely figure disappear into the distance, wondering how she could possibly open the boy's heart.

After a while, Quan finished eating the dumplings, humming a lullaby softly, and started heading home.

As we walked, before we knew it, it had become completely dark.

As she approached the gate of the clan's territory, Quan smelled a pungent odor of blood, which sent chills down her spine.
Izumi, who had already become a genin, immediately became alert. She took out a kunai from the weapon pouch on her thigh, her Sharingan with two tomoe starting to spin, and ran in the direction from which the smell of blood was coming.

"Why is this happening! Where did everyone go?!" Izumi's little face was full of questions. The Uchiha clan compound was completely silent in the dark of night, not even the barking of dogs could be heard.

Soon, Quan followed the thick, pungent smell of blood to a courtyard and witnessed a shocking scene.

Two elderly Uchiha men lay in pools of blood in the living room. Itachi Uchiha, now a teenager, dragged a child of only three or four years old from a hidden compartment, blood dripping from the short sword in his hand.

Then, he ruthlessly swung his knife!
