Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

Whether it's the composure in the face of crisis, the keenness and wisdom to break through deadlocks, the cautious approach of a ninja, or even the courage and will to face death in the end, etc.

All of this has earned the admiration of countless people.

Two ninja worlds, including top-tier shinobi such as Jiraiya, Might Guy, the First Hokage, and the Second Hokage.

Almost everyone praised him highly.

Even Uchiha Mikoto herself, who was sitting in Uehara Shimei's lap at this moment,

They all looked teary-eyed and decided to prepare some gifts to properly visit and thank this "teacher" they had never met before the next day.

The original underworld,

Mikoto Uchiha learned that her teacher's death was not an accidental encounter with a Sand Village ninja.

Instead, he used sensory ninjutsu to actively locate the Sand Village ninja, then charged headlong into their path, seeking death, solely to save himself.

He was immediately overwhelmed by immense grief.

I was so moved that tears streamed down my face, and I almost cried myself hoarse.

If I weren't in a spirit form, activating the kaleidoscope might be enough.

In the primeval ninja world, there is a hidden cave.

Itachi Uchiha's gaze and expression were chillingly terrifying.

He had never understood why his clansmen hated the higher-ups so much, and even the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Why can't we understand the Hokage, who works so diligently and single-mindedly for the stability, prosperity, and peace of Konoha, even to the point that his hair has turned white from worry?

Why can't we get along well with everyone in the village?

I think they lack magnanimity and have mental problems.

He believed that the Uchiha were an evil clan, and that everyone except his younger brother deserved to die.

In the end, he even made the painful decision to kill his entire clan.

But at this moment, seeing the series of things his mother had gone through, he was completely stunned.

Uchiha Mikoto is the granddaughter of the eldest elder and holds a high position in the clan. Her father's rise to clan head was largely due to his marriage to her mother.

She also has a powerful, brave, and resourceful Jonin as her teacher who loves and cares for her dearly.

There is nothing particularly tainted about her; on the contrary, she is very kind.

Even she suffered so much injustice, being forced into life-threatening situations five or six times in a row.

It's easy to imagine what kind of treatment the other ordinary Uchiha were given.

After experiencing so much—betrayal, targeting, and murder—it would be strange if the Uchiha didn't harbor resentment.

A surge of immense shame and anger welled up within me.

Itachi Uchiha felt that his Mangekyou Sharingan might be stimulated to continue evolving.

PS: Author's Note

The comparison video of Tsunade was heavily criticized, but in Naruto, apart from Sasuke and Naruto, almost all the characters, even the important ones, have a lot of gaps in their lives.

Therefore, the author could only create their own.

This is my first time writing original story content that doesn't involve the main character, and I don't know how it feels.

If it feels okay, you can add more later; if you don't feel it's good, then you'll just have to skip these blank periods and pretend they don't exist.

Chapter 67 Konoha's Darkest Hour: The F4's Dark Side Surpasses Imagination

Although Mikoto Uchiha was unaware that her teacher had deliberately sacrificed himself to break Danzo's deadly trap targeting her,

However, Hayato Eme's death still awakened her Sharingan, and upon activation, it immediately became a three-tomoe Sharingan.

She was not yet fifteen years old at this time.

Even in the entire history of the Uchiha clan, he is a top-tier genius, second only to a few exceptional individuals.

However, after six months of training on the battlefield, six months of being constantly targeted,

Even the kind-hearted Uchiha Mikoto is no longer as innocent as she used to be; she has grown up after all.

She kept the fact that she had awakened the Sharingan a secret and didn't tell anyone.

As the video continues,

Just as Eme Hayato had predicted and planned, a few days later, the three Sannin replaced Shimura Danzo as the commander of the Rain Country's ninja army.

Changing commanders involves a great deal of complicated matters, and neither Danzo nor the Sannin had time to specifically target a mere Chunin.

And soon after recovering from her injuries, Mikoto was transferred to the rear to rest and recuperate, and did not continue to participate in the war.

The reason given was that the squad had suffered too many casualties and needed to be reorganized.

Awakening the Sharingan was the most important turning point in Mikoto's life in the early stages.

After passing this point, the story becomes rather unremarkable.

The following videos focus almost exclusively on three things.

First, he joined the police department and began to truly understand the Uchiha's situation and experiences in Konoha.

Secondly, there's his friendship with his best friend, Kushina Uzumaki.

The third was that, several years later, she married Uchiha Fugaku, a candidate for clan leader.

Interspersed throughout are also some updates and news about the progress of the Ninja World War.

Amegakure, Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kazegakure were originally engaged in a chaotic battle in the Land of Water, with almost no strategy or tactics involved.

Each side has three enemies, who are constantly attacking each other, creating a chaotic situation.

However, Orochimaru cleverly used the Sand Village to keep the Iwa ninja firmly in check.

He devised a plan to separate Hanzo the Salamander, a demigod, from the ordinary ninjas of Amegakure, creating a ninja world version of Tian Ji's horse racing strategy, concentrating all his efforts to eliminate Amegakure as the first country to be eliminated from the battle.

With the troublemakers gone,

Orochimaru decisively split his forces into two groups, with himself and Jiraiya defending the Iwa ninja at the border, thus preventing the cunning old man Onoki from making any rash moves.

Meanwhile, Tsunade and the elite Jonin known as the White Fang of Konoha launched a powerful attack on Sunagakure.

With both her trump cards—poison and puppets—disabled, Chiyo, the old woman, couldn't hold out for long either.

Soon, the army collapsed like a house of cards, and even the son and daughter-in-law were killed on the front lines.

As for the Land of Water and the Land of Thunder

Whether it was some kind of conspiracy or not, the two of them carved out their own front.

They once raided each other's bases, almost fighting so badly they had no time to pay attention to this place.

The Second Shinobi World War lasted only a short time, a total of three years.

But even during those three years, despite achieving resounding success,

The Uchiha clan suffered heavy losses, the Senju clan was almost wiped out, and many middle-generation clans were nearly wiped out.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, now the Hokage, and the F4 high-level advisors finally let go of their burdens and biggest worries, and began a series of blatant "behind-the-scenes" operations.

The first to be affected was the Senju clan's enormous legacy.

This includes ninjutsu lineages, valuables, commercial properties, real estate, and so on.

First, the village openly and legitimately seized and plundered the property under the guise of righteousness, and then authorized Sarutobi to inherit and so-called "temporarily manage and safeguard" it in the name of the village.

Then, almost all the important positions were filled by direct descendants of the four major families.

The direct subordinates, led by the Dark Division, also began to encroach on the rights that originally belonged to other departments.

The Uchiha Police Department, a village within a village that is not under its jurisdiction, is the biggest victim.

They went from being a powerful department on par with the secret police to being reduced to city management officers who could only bully small vendors and get themselves into trouble.

The already powerful secret service not only became bloated and complacent, but also completely lost its checks and balances, truly becoming the sole power.

Furthermore, it practically became Sarutobi's private property.

Under the control and tacit approval of the Third Hokage, Danzo carried out a large-scale purge of dissidents, and countless people died "accidentally".

The White Fang of Konoha died the most tragically and famously, but he was by no means the only one.

Countless outstanding ninjas, whose names never even appeared in the story, vanished without a trace.

Almost all renowned geniuses fail to live to adulthood.

After the Legendary Sannin, the only exceptions were Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya's disciple whom he considered the child of prophecy, and Kakashi, who had an exceptionally high IQ and no ties to his family.

Even Kakashi once worked for Root for a period of time.

Many others, even those so-called Hokage-affiliated individuals like the Ino-Shika-Cho trio who were on the same page with him, failed to grow into their full potential.

The Aburame clan, the strongest clan in terms of overall strength, including the Hyuga and Uchiha families, couldn't even protect the son of their clan leader and the clan's strongest genius. They were forcibly pulled into the Root organization, and there was nothing they could do about it.

Whether it's the Ino-Shika-Cho trio or the Hinata-Aburame trio, at least they managed to survive.

Many families that did not appear in the original story were not non-existent, but were killed to extinction during this period.

Especially the families of secret arts, such as the art of spiritification and the art of super beast imitation.

That's right, Sai, a substitute member of Naruto's Team 7, didn't learn his signature ninjutsu from Root, but rather from his family's tradition.

As mentioned in the original storyline, Sai has an older brother named Shin.

In order to help his younger brother, Sai, survive Root's brutal training, he deliberately died at Sai's hands in a battle, helping Sai "forget his emotions."

Of course, Sai and Shin came later, but by then, the F4's crackdown on bloodline limit and secret technique families had already begun.

Mikoto Uchiha, who joined the police force during the later stages of World War II, happened to experience this darkest period of her life.

Although I didn't witness everything firsthand,

But the messages, the battle reports, the names from long ago, and the heroes' graves and monuments that have expanded many times over,

All these messages combined sent chills down the spines of all the viewers.
