Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History...

After typing and sending the message, Shinomiya Yuzuki fell into deep thought.

Deep down, he also acknowledged the efficiency of force.

To yearn for understanding to eliminate barriers, like Yahiko did, is too idealistic and too difficult to achieve in reality.

The first requirement is that both parties need to have a high level of self-cultivation in order to rationally let go of hatred, but in reality, not everyone is like that.

When encountering stubborn elements like Danzo, peaceful means will only lead to suffering.

Therefore, by comparison, direct force is sometimes more direct and effective, able to get people, whether educated or barbaric, to sit down and talk things over.

Of course, relying solely on force is not advisable; one must combine nine parts force with one part reason to convince others.

His advice to Itachi Uchiha was an attempt to explore different strategies.

Each timeline is independent; changes in one timeline will not affect the others.

Even if Itachi were to cause trouble there, it wouldn't affect other places.

Yuuki's proposed path had two advantages: first, it would allow Itachi to stop enduring the hypocrisy of Konoha's higher-ups and take direct action for a quick and satisfying result; second, it offered the gold coins that Yuuki was most interested in!

Following Itachi's approach, he's practically toying with the goddess of fate, completely disrupting the original trajectory of destiny. It's easy to imagine that the harvest of gold coins will be endless.

-------Year 54 of Konoha-------

Uchiha Itachi slowly closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then opened them again. At this moment, his eyes shone with an unprecedented determination.

"We will adopt the strategy of the four palaces' leader, but with some modifications."

Immediately, he clicked to open the shop interface that Youyue had mentioned repeatedly; it was the key tool for him to take the path of domination.

Only by leveraging the power of the mall can he undergo multiple transformations in a short period of time, rapidly increasing his strength and ultimately achieving his goal.

"What a dazzling array..."

Itachi felt a slight ripple in his heart, but quickly calmed down. He quickly scanned the items, looking for those that suited him, and added them to his shopping cart. He would buy them all as soon as he had enough coins.

A few minutes later, Itachi Uchiha closed the shop interface with satisfaction; he had already locked in his desired item.

The first thing is the body of an immortal.

His physique is not outstanding, and he will suffer greatly from the pain of bloodline limit disease in the future. He rarely fights personally, and even when he has to fight, he relies more on ninjutsu and genjutsu. His physique is a major weakness.

Therefore, the body of an immortal becomes a necessity; a healthy body can undoubtedly greatly enhance his combat power.

The second thing is his own Mangekyou Sharingan, which he uses to upgrade his existing Mangekyou Sharingan to the Eternal Realm.

This not only allows him to use his eye techniques indefinitely, but also unlocks the ultimate form of Susanoo.

The complete Susanoo is a hundred meters tall, wielding the Three Sacred Treasures, and is invincible on the battlefield, capable of taking on an army of ten thousand men single-handedly.

"Do I need a total of 200,000 gold coins...?" Itachi silently calculated in his mind.

The Immortal Body costs 100,000 gold coins, and the Kaleidoscope costs another 100,000; this is by no means a small sum of money.

"Let's take it one step at a time. How much gold we'll get after defeating Danzo is still unknown."

Just then, a faint sound of footsteps came from behind, and Itachi immediately sensed who was coming.

He knew who it was, so he didn't turn around, a gentle smile appearing on his lips.

Soon, the person quietly approached, then suddenly leaped onto the weasel's back.

"Ha! Were you startled?" Sasuke deliberately made an exaggerated expression.

"I knew it was you the moment you walked in."

"Brother is awesome."

Sasuke leaned on Itachi's shoulder, a happy smile on his face. For him, the time spent with Itachi was enough to make him incredibly happy.

Itachi gently ruffled his hair and asked with a fond smile, "Did you need something?"

Sasuke is always well-behaved and wouldn't bother Itachi at this time without reason. Since he's here, he must have something to say, so Itachi asked.

"Dad asked you to go over there, and sent me to fetch you," Sasuke answered honestly, his eyes crinkling into two thin lines with a smile.

"I see. Let's go then."

Itachi, carrying Sasuke on his back, turned and left the room, heading towards the Naga Shrine.

"Sasuke, you should go back to sleep."

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Naga Shrine, Itachi put Sasuke down but did not intend to take him inside, as the upcoming conversation was not suitable for Sasuke to hear.

"See you tomorrow, brother."

Sasuke nodded obediently, without asking why, and waved goodbye with a smile as he ran away.

Itachi watched with a faint smile until Sasuke's figure completely disappeared around the corner, at which point his smile gradually faded.

Then, he pushed open the door and stepped into the tranquil space of the Nanga Shrine.

—Squeak~

The long, drawn-out sound of the ancient wooden door opening instantly drew the attention of everyone inside the shrine.

Besides Uchiha Fugaku, who sat in the central seat, there were several white-haired elders present.

They are the elders of the Uchiha clan, holding a prestigious and respected position, and are responsible for assisting the clan head in managing all matters of the Uchiha clan.

"Father, elders, I have come."

"The young clan leader has arrived. Please come and sit here."

A smiling elder patted the seat next to him, gesturing for Itachi Uchiha to join them.

With his extraordinary talent, Itachi Uchiha was known to almost everyone in Konoha. The clan members had high expectations for this young clan leader, especially after he joined the Anbu and often brought back valuable intelligence, which gave the Uchiha clan confidence to carry out reforms.

Itachi nodded slightly and sat down casually.

Across from him, Uchiha Shisui gave him a warm smile, and Itachi responded with a nod.

Once everyone had arrived, the meeting officially began.

Fugaku Uchiha was the first to raise a question: "Opposition within the clan is growing stronger. What are your thoughts on this?"

As the clan head, Fugaku had a broader vision, but in reality, he did not support such radical changes.

After all, once a war breaks out, although the Uchiha clan is quite powerful, Konoha will suffer heavy losses, and other ninja villages will take advantage of the situation. Even if they ultimately win, the sacrifices will be enormous.

At that time, what meaning will the position of Hokage have for a devastated Konoha?

However, even as the clan leader, he could not completely control the thoughts of the entire clan. Currently, the situation is gradually spiraling out of control, and a storm is inevitable.

"Suppress? Why suppress? I think this is what the people want, and morale is high," said an elder with a stern expression, clearly belonging to the radical faction.

The title of Hokage has always been ironic, as there has never been an Uchiha who was skilled in Fire Release.

"No, regardless of victory or defeat, even if the reform succeeds, how many lives will we have to pay?" Someone frowned, representing the opinion of the conservatives.

"Sacrifice is always better than living in humiliation. When Konoha was first established, they promised Uchiha that he would be the first Hokage, but they broke their promise and became rich instead."

"Now that time has passed, the Uchiha clan still hasn't become Hokage. Where is the fairness in that?"

"Alright, let's not dwell on the past. We should instead discuss how to solve the problem with minimal sacrifice."

Several elderly men, many generations older than Itachi, engaged in a heated debate on this matter.

Some were so excited they blushed, while others were silenced by the rebuttals, and some opinions won some approval.

However, no matter how much they discussed it, they were unable to reach an agreement.

As the argument escalated, Fugaku gently tapped the table.

The noise quickly subsided until silence reigned.

All eyes were on him, awaiting his next move; this was the majesty of the clan leader!

At this moment, Fugaku turned to Itachi and asked, "Itachi, what's your opinion?"

Uchiha Itachi slowly stood up, and everyone's attention immediately focused on him.

Perhaps it's just an illusion, but today's Uchiha Itachi seems different from usual?

as if……

It has lost some of its heaviness and gained an indescribable air.
