Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

The words on the sky severed Hiruzen Sarutobi's thoughts.

[A sharp critique of Shimura Danzo, the troublemaker in Konoha.]

Danzo's influence as a troublemaker, while not as widespread as that of the darker-skinned Zetsu, was still significant.

But Danzo took a different path, specifically targeting his own hometown, Konoha Village.

Hidden Rock Village.

Onoki fell back to the ground from mid-air, his beard twitching twice.

"That dark-skinned guy? Who is he? How did he end up in the same frame as that bastard Shimura Danzo?"

Huang Tu shook his head and spread his hands.

"Never heard of this person. Is there anyone in the ninja world more troublesome than Danzo?"

Deep underground.

A clump of black substance was stuck to the thick tree root.

Black Zetsu froze on one side of his body.

"The Sky Curtain has even figured out my existence?"

The text on the screen continued to scroll.

[If it weren't for Danzo's various measures specifically targeting the Uchiha clan]

The Uchiha clan would not harbor any thoughts of rebellion.

He seized Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan ahead of time, causing Shisui's plan to use Kotoamatsukami to stop the Uchiha clan's defection to fail.

[At the same time, by threatening Sasuke's safety, Itachi carried out the massacre of the Uchiha clan.]

Konoha Village Street.

"The Uchiha clan massacre...was it Danzo's doing?"

"Using the younger brother's life to blackmail the older brother into killing the whole family? Is that even a human thing to do?!"

"The Hokage actually kept such a beast in the village as a high-ranking official!"

"We always thought the Uchiha were traitors, but it turns out they were forced into it by the higher-ups!"

The underground base of the roots.

Danzo Shimura suddenly stood up.

"I did it for Konoha!"

"The Uchiha clan is inherently evil; keeping them around will only bring trouble sooner or later!"

He strode to the center of the open space, his one eye fixed on the sky.

"This old man has no idea what I'm trying to achieve! Hiruzen is a coward. If I don't take action, Konoha will be destroyed by the Uchiha sooner or later!"

The text on the screen continues to be output.

[On the surface, this eliminated the potential for internal division within Konoha Village]

However, this also significantly reduced the overall combat strength of Konoha Village.

[If it weren't for Danzo's actions]

[Among the Uchiha clan members who possess the Mangekyou Sharingan: Fugaku, Shisui, Itachi, and Sasuke]

These weakest of the strong individuals possess Kage-level combat power and are still capable of serving Konoha Village.

Hidden Cloud Village.

Ai Ren was stunned.

"Four kaleidoscopes?!"

"Even the weakest among them is at the Kage level?!"

Tu Tai stumbled back two steps, his back slamming against the wall, a layer of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"Lord Raikage, if Konoha truly has four Mangekyou Sharingan users, we Kumogakure wouldn't even dare approach the border. Those are four Kage-level shinobi!"

Ai tilted his head back and burst into loud laughter, which made the windowpane vibrate.

"Hahaha! Shimura Danzo is such a great guy!"

"He single-handedly took down four Kage-level opponents from Konoha!"

"With such high-ranking officials in Konoha, how could it not perish! I really want to award him a Kumogakure Medal of Honor!"

Hidden Rock Village.

Onoki raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath.

"Four Mangekyou Sharingan... The Uchiha clan actually possesses such terrifying combat power."

"That troublemaker, Danzo Shimura, he's really stirring things up!"

"If these four people were on Konoha's side, what chance would the rest of us villages have? Konoha would unify the ninja world!"

Konoha Training Ground.

Sasuke stared intently at the sky, his chest heaving violently.

"Danzo..."

"Uchiha Itachi..."

"Danzo deserves to die! Itachi Uchiha deserves to die too!"

"Once I have the power, I won't let either of them go! I'll tear them to pieces!"

Naruto stood a few steps away, forced to retreat repeatedly by the tangible killing intent emanating from Sasuke.

Kakashi positioned himself between the two, wary of Sasuke's potential outburst at any moment.

The Land of Rain, the Akatsuki's stronghold.

Uchiha Itachi stood in the corner, half of his face hidden in the darkness.

He stared at the words on the sky, frozen in place, even his breath stopped.

Four Kage-level fighters.

The overall fighting strength of Konoha has decreased.

Itachi felt a tightness in his chest.

He recalled that blood-red night.

The parents knelt on the tatami mat, offering no resistance as he swung his long sword down.

The screams of the clansmen echoed through the streets, and blood stained the waters of the Namga River.

He firmly believed that he had borne all the sins for the sake of Konoha's stability and Sasuke's survival.

But now, the sky has torn open a bloody, flat road and laid it before him.

He could have simply killed only the extreme radicals.

As long as their father, who possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, was still alive, the Uchiha clan would never descend into chaos.

He then left the village as a rogue ninja, attracting all the hatred.

When Sasuke grew up, he killed him and returned to the village in glory.

With the support of his family's resources and the absolute power of his Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke faced absolutely no obstacles in becoming Hokage.

The future of Konoha is in place.

Sasuke's future was also saved.

Itachi's eyes gradually cleared, and he turned his head to look at the continuous rain outside.

Everything is too late.

The entire clan was wiped out.

My parents are gone.

Sasuke's remaining life was filled with hatred and twisted emotions.

He destroyed the Uchiha clan with his own hands, and also destroyed Konoha's most prosperous future.
