Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 80 Obito: She Said She Would Destroy the World? (10,000-word chapter)

While the Jonin Exams were in full swing, Itachi Uchiha was still training on a mountain behind Konoha.

Although he was filled with confusion, he was very clear about one thing: without strength, he couldn't do anything he wanted!

Moreover, only through constant training can he concentrate and stop his mind from wandering.

"Um?"

However, just as he finished a round of training, he suddenly stopped, because he seemed to realize that someone was watching him.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke, trying to appear calm.

"Who goes there? Come out."

"Quite perceptive, kid."

As soon as Itachi Uchiha finished speaking, Danzo leisurely walked out from behind a tree.

He looked the kid up and down, especially at those scarlet Sharingan eyes, and felt extremely satisfied.

To have such eyes at such a young age, this kid's future is bound to be immeasurable!

"Who are you?"

Itachi Uchiha remained vigilant; he wouldn't have shown it so obviously if it were Orochimaru.

But he didn't know the person in front of him, so he had to be extremely careful.

"You are not qualified to know who I am now, but you may be qualified in a moment."

Although Danzo has basically lost power, he can still put on airs when facing a mere brat.

"I know you're feeling lost right now, confused about the meaning of life, confused about what's wrong with your family, right?"

"you"

Uchiha Itachi was startled upon hearing this. He had kept these matters buried deep in his heart, except for the one time he had asked Orochimaru about them.

Suddenly he thought of something, so he asked cautiously.

"Did Lord Orochimaru tell you this?"

"Orochimaru did tell me that you were searching for the meaning of life, but that's all."

Upon seeing Itachi's expression, Danzo immediately knew he had guessed correctly, and everything would be much easier from now on.

"But given what happened to your family, I think you should have more to think about now."

You don't believe your father died in an accident; you yearn to find the truth, and you are also searching for the meaning of your life.

A person cannot be completely consumed by revenge; they need more conviction to prove their worth and meaning, and these are the things you are confused about.

Itachi was deeply moved by these words. At that moment, his heart was in turmoil. The mysterious old man in front of him had actually been right about everything!

"Yes, just as you said." After a long while, Itachi nodded slightly.

"So, do you want to find the meaning of life?"

Danzo pressed his advantage. He had some tricks up his sleeve to have a large group of people loyally follow him and even regard him as their only sun.

These methods are basically a piece of cake when used on a four or five-year-old child!

"If you want, come with me, but from now on your life will be drastically changed, because you will have only one belief in your heart—to protect Konoha!"

If you refuse, then forget about today, continue to wallow in confusion and aimlessness, and blindly pursue your inner desires.

Perhaps one day you will find it, perhaps you will never find it in your lifetime, after all, most people live their lives in a daze.

Upon hearing these words, Itachi closed his eyes. After a while, he opened them, and his expression became exceptionally resolute.

"Sir, may I now tell you your name?"

"Very well, I am Shimura Danzo, the Hokage's assistant and the guardian of Konoha's darkness!"

-

"Hiruzen, are you really sure?"

On the high platform of the training ground, the Third Hokage was sitting with Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

They were clearly not particularly interested in the battle below; they were more concerned with the significance behind this Jonin Exam.

This Jonin Exam is not only meant to boost morale, but also to let everyone see Minato Namikaze.

Simply put, this is the platform!

Minato Namikaze was indeed a war hero, but he wasn't the only one, because Hagoromo took away too much of his credit.

To be honest, Yuu's participation in the Jonin Exams was just a formality, but the Jonin level is the threshold for the core of Konoha's power, and everyone needs to take the exams.

In the original story, Naruto is the savior, but he still has to take the exams. He was even eliminated because he used Sage Mode during the Chunin Exams with Konohamaru.

Regardless of the circumstances, Yuri stole Minato Namikaze's prestige, and now that they want Minato to rise to power, they must make up for it elsewhere.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado are both very intelligent, so they naturally understand all of this.

"Yes, it's basically confirmed."

The Third Hokage nodded, looking at Minato Namikaze, who was in charge of the assessment, and said with a smile.

"Although he's young, he has great potential, and he's going to marry Kushina."

"Indeed, given the current situation, he is the most suitable candidate."

Xiaochun nodded after turning to her dorm, then sighed.

"What a pity, Orochimaru, Danzo really went too far!"

"Danzo really went too far this time."

Mitokado also chimed in with a comment.

Although neither of them were exactly good people in the original story, after the Third Hokage's death, they withstood the pressure and did not choose Danzo.

Instead, she supported Jiraiya and agreed to Tsunade's request after Jiraiya explicitly refused.

"Alright, let's leave it at that." The Third Hokage didn't want to say anything more. "But remember, don't tell anyone, understand?"

"Don't worry, we know what we're doing."

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado both nodded, but Homura Mitokado soon frowned.

"But Hiruzen, don't you think that brat named Haori was a bit...

The purpose of the assessment was to make Minato stand out and appear in front of everyone, but it seems that the most popular person in this assessment is actually that guy Yuzhi.

If we continue like this, doesn't it seem like we've put the cart before the horse?

The third generation could only purse his lips upon hearing this; there was nothing he could do about it.

You can't just introduce rules like prohibiting the use of the Sharingan, can you?

Moreover, the haori was also key to his strategy against the Uchiha clan. He had already learned about this kid's "character" through reports from Minato and the Anbu.

Even if this kid doesn't become Uchiha Kagami, at least he has many connections in the village, so he can be considered someone who has inherited the "Will of Fire".

"Let him show off a bit, that way he'll gain more prestige within the Uchiha clan, which will make it easier for him to achieve something later."

The Third Hokage could only console himself with this thought, but the thought that three members of the Uchiha clan were participating this time was still a concern.

Moreover, all three of them performed exceptionally well, which gave him an even bigger headache.

Suddenly, an idea popped into his head—why not put them together and let them fight each other?

With that in mind, the Third Generation looked at the list and it took him a while to make a decision.

"Shisui is a descendant of Kagami, so let's forget about him. Uchiha Hotaru seems to have a better relationship with Haori, but it doesn't really matter."

This kid has such strong interpersonal skills, there's no need to worry about these things, and besides, it's not like he can't get through it.

"Passing the assessment depends on your own performance."

-

"I finally passed the selection process; it was so difficult!"

In a rest area of ​​the training ground, Asuma sat down next to Kai, Yuri, and the others and muttered some complaints.

Akai and Aoba both nodded. Although they hadn't participated in many battles, the difficulty was considerable.

They had absolutely no chance to rest; the next round started almost as soon as one round ended.

From a competition perspective, this seems unfair, because everyone faces different opponents.

However, ninjas emphasize practical combat, and there are many instances of gauntlet battles on the battlefield. The Third Raikage next door even fought against thousands of enemies single-handedly!

Although the end result was being exhausted to death, it also shows that the enemy will not give you a chance to breathe, and you must be prepared to do so if you want to become a Jonin.

Behind them, Lin, Jifeng, and the others looked somewhat helpless, as they had all been eliminated.

But when they saw that Haori hadn't said a word and was instead sitting with Hikaru waiting for the final assessment to begin, they suddenly couldn't hold back anymore.

"These two are just here to go through the motions."

The battle between Haori and Hikari was really too easy, especially for Haori.

Normally, when someone encounters a competitor, they would make some bold statements before the competition to express their confidence.

But when they encountered Yuzhi, almost everyone skipped this step and fast-forwarded directly to the 'post-match silence' stage.

While light is slightly better, it's not so good for others.

They really didn't understand. It was one thing to have a haori, but why was Hikaru so ruthless?

In addition to Hikaru, Uchiha Shisui is also participating, and all three of them have made it into the main tournament!

I hope you two draw the same number.

Asma couldn't hold back any longer and could only whisper something.

Actually, I would have preferred to draw the haori.

Although Akai knew he had no chance of winning, he still wanted to challenge Yuzhi.

"If you manage to draw a haori, I'll thank you."

Aoba was delighted to hear this and whispered something to Akai.

Yuzhi didn't pay much attention to this situation. Although it was a bit unexpected that Shisui was also there, he didn't think much about it.

Moreover, as the competition progressed, he seemed to understand the significance of this competition.

Minato Namikaze had previously mentioned some things to him in a veiled manner, but this matter has not yet been settled, since the most important thing for Konoha is the selection of the Hokage.

Minato Namikaze is standing right here as the chief examiner for the Jonin Exams, and the timing of this event suggests something.

I also participated in the competition, and the cheers and treatment I received were unbelievable.

"This is giving me reputation!"

Yui's battlefield achievements were outstanding, but to a large extent, it was others and Konoha who were praising her; no one had actually seen Yui's performance.

Combining boasting with reality will naturally yield better results, especially since quite a few Uchiha members have come this time.

"Is this a place where they really intend to support me within the family?"

Thinking about this, Yuzhi herself felt both amused and exasperated.

Konoha really doesn't miss any opportunity. Even a simple Jonin exam can be used to kill three birds with one stone.

However, their precise timing in supporting the actual controller of the Uchiha clan made things quite difficult for Hagoromo.

"But this isn't bad either; it's all about getting freebies anyway, so it doesn't matter whose it is."

He looked up at Minato Namikaze, who was preparing for the lottery, and then turned to look at the Third Hokage and the others sitting on the high platform.

He's in a really good mood right now, after all, the new main storyline is "How can a great man live a life of melancholy and subservience?" He really can't stop grinding reputation for a moment!

"First round of the main tournament: Uchiha Haori vs. Uchiha Hotaru!"

Just as Yuri was pondering this, Minato Namikaze suddenly announced the opponent for the main tournament, which once again caused cheers from the entire audience.

As a war hero, Yuki's deeds are widely known, but most people have only heard of him and have never seen him.

Even the ninjas fighting alongside him on the front lines were the same, because the missions that Hagoromo carried out were either classified or small team operations.

Even if a person's reputation is well-deserved, who wouldn't be happy to witness the performance of this great hero?

"What a pity, you two were drawn together. Good luck."

Asuma sighed and patted Yuri on the shoulder when he saw the draw, but his tense expression showed that he was in a very good mood.

"What a pity I didn't draw you, otherwise I wanted to make a good impression on Hong."

Yuzhi guessed that this lottery was likely rigged behind closed doors, since he never believed in lotteries.

However, manipulating the lottery results is a necessary tactic for every person in power, and there is nothing wrong with that, but that doesn't stop Yui from making fun of Asuma.

"Damn it." Asuma immediately shut up, knowing that Kurenai had a very good feeling about Hagoromo.

"Go for it, Haori, Hotaru!"

Lin, sitting in the back row, waved her fist, and Akai, Qingye, and the others cheered them on as well.

"I didn't expect your jinx to come true."

Hikari nodded to everyone along with Hagoromo, and then whispered something as the two stepped out of line.

The system is telling me it's going to war with you, what kind of jinx is this?

Yuzhi mentally complained before speaking, "Actually, it's not surprising, since we performed too well."

The two chatted for a few minutes before heading to the center of the training ground.

"Haori-kun, good luck! Let's talk after the match."

However, as Yuuki passed by Minato Namikaze, he suddenly spoke to her in a low voice.

"The Hokage would also like to meet you."

As expected

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi immediately realized that her previous thinking was not wrong at all.

These old guys managed to pull off so many tricks using a Jonin exam; they're really something else!

"Is everything ready?"

Seeing that Haori and Hikaru were already standing on the field, Minato Namikaze loudly explained the rules of the assessment and then asked a question.

Haori and Hikaru nodded simultaneously, neither of them moving, but both were ready for battle.

"Then, let the competition begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cheers from the audience grew even louder, and at the same time, Haori and Hikaru activated their Sharingan.

"I need to teach you a lesson for your loose tongue."

"We can't afford to lose for the sake of the mission."

As their momentum continued to rise, the two of them moved almost simultaneously in the next moment.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"

"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"

Without any probing, both sides immediately unleashed a torrent of fire-style attacks.

The intense heat instantly filled the entire venue, drawing even more enthusiastic cheers.

However, this method of action gave the Third Hokage a headache. He could only help the barrier team stabilize the barrier and prevent any accidents from happening.

Their action also drew the attention of two people hidden in the crowd.

"Uchiha Hagoromo's growth is truly somewhat unexpected."

Standing in a corner of the training ground, Orochimaru watched the battle unfold with a deep, unsettling gaze.

His purpose in coming here was to confirm the Third Hokage's thoughts, but seeing the atmosphere at the scene, he frowned for a moment.

Because of Hagoromo's immense popularity, it seems that this Jonin Exam was specifically prepared for him.

"Could it be..."

Suddenly, Orochimaru realized a possibility: the Third Hokage's original intention was for the haori.

"That's very possible. After all, the Uchiha clan is in such a state of internal strife, this is his chance."

Choose a suitable person and give him great prestige so that he can have a higher status within the Uchiha clan.

Then, gradually nurturing them and eventually letting them take control of the Uchiha clan would be in the old man's best interest.

It's unclear whether Orochimaru or the Third Hokage were on the fifth floor, or if Hagoromo only thought of the first floor.

The current situation makes it hard for Orochimaru not to think of this scenario.

The Uchiha clan has always been a major problem for Konoha, causing a great deal of unpleasantness among its members.

If it weren't for the outbreak of war in the ninja world forcing them to unite against a common enemy, this bomb would probably have exploded long ago.

Of course, Orochimaru couldn't say for sure whether that was the case, but everything before him seemed to be just like that!

"Let's take it slow and see how it goes later."

Shaking his head, Orochimaru stopped thinking about it and focused on watching the battle.

Because of Itachi Uchiha and the information about the "mysterious man with different eyes" brought back by Danzo, he was now very interested in the Sharingan.

Danzo had already promised to give him the Sharingan for research, but he still longed for more practical observation.

And Yuzhi is the best example, especially since he will participate in this assessment.

Watching Yui maneuver around the arena, effortlessly deflecting attacks while constantly combining taijutsu and ninjutsu to counterattack.

Orochimaru was captivated by the sight; such a battle was truly an art form.

"However, what's the situation with that Uchiha Harp? Is she someone trained within the Uchiha clan?"

Orochimaru wasn't surprised by Hagoromo's performance, but he was somewhat speechless that Uchiha Hari was holding her own.

But when he thought about how these large families all had the habit of personally training their members, he didn't find it strange at all.

As he watched the two figures constantly intertwine like phantoms, Orochimaru's desire intensified.

But soon, he sighed again.

"It's just a regular Sharingan; it's still lacking."

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju created a new order in the ninja world, relying not only on their personal charisma but also on their unparalleled and formidable power!

Now that he has come into contact with Hashirama Senju's cells, he naturally yearns for the power that belongs to the Uchiha clan.

Unfortunately, Konoha doesn't have Madara Uchiha's cells, and it's unlikely that someone like Madara Uchiha will appear in this world.

However, Orochimaru did not give up. Because of his Uchiha bloodline, he was always able to discover the secrets!

"This is the meaning of life: to explore the unknown and understand the root of everything."

Orochimaru's heart burned with intense passion, and he was also very clear about one thing.

"But to understand these things, one must have enough life; only eternal life can possibly allow one to glimpse everything in this world!"

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's aura seemed to change.

Listening to the constant exclamations and cheers around him, and looking at the fierce battle below, Orochimaru revealed a smile.

"If only I could get their eyes."

-

"Is that woman the one who also possesses a kaleidoscope?"

In the alternate dimension below the stage, Obito was also watching the match before him.

He has already decided to take action against Konoha, so he must gather some information beforehand!

Although he could have easily delegated these tasks to White Zetsu, he himself came from Konoha and was naturally more familiar with the place.

Therefore, he chose to come in person, which would make many things more convenient, especially since he needed to find out about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

But after he arrived in Konoha, he began to regret it.

"Why, why did this happen?"

Even though I was mentally prepared, I could hear about the haori everywhere in Konoha.

Especially when they came to this training ground to investigate the mysterious kaleidoscope next to Yuzhi, and saw the extremely enthusiastic cheers of the audience around them.

Lin, Kai, and others, as well as Kakashi in the stands, were also unable to hold back, even though this was the fake world he believed in.

"This is just a fake world, this is just a fake world."

Obito kept comforting himself like this; it was the only way he could comfort himself. His heart had become exceptionally resolute.

"This world is so different, no one cares what I do, my fate is simply to be forgotten."

Therefore, I will shatter this illusory world and create a world of my own, a world without haori!

This kind of "bible-like" comfort finally calmed Obito down a bit.

Looking at Hikari fighting with Haori, he felt somewhat disappointed, because neither of them was showing their true strength.

This is quite normal, because such battles are really just for show; no one is actually going to fight to the death.

"However, this person is definitely not Uchiha Hotaru. Although I don't know her, I can be certain of that."

Obito quickly thought about who it was, but no matter who it was, he was certain that this woman was with Haori.

"Why does he always get all the good things!"

Obito was filled with resentment. He was certain that the events that had occurred within the Uchiha clan were most likely related to these two.

After all, both of them possess kaleidoscopes, so if they really wanted to do something, no one could stop them!

Watching the two constantly battling in the arena, watching the flames continuously erupting, and watching the cheers that were almost at their peak.

Obito's expression grew increasingly displeased, and a new idea suddenly popped into his head.

"Why should I care about her identity? Who she is is not important. What is important is why she is with that bastard Yuzhi."

She must have her own reasons for following Yuzhi. If I know these things, why can't I do the same?

We're all kaleidoscopes, and I have more resources at my disposal. Under these circumstances, how could I possibly be weaker than Yuri?

Thinking of this, Obito's complexion finally improved considerably.

Although the cheers from the sidelines were still deafening, a smile bloomed on his face beneath the mask.

"It seems that this trip to Konoha isn't just about gathering information on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but also about figuring out what this woman wants..."

Despite the numerous difficulties, Obito had confidence; he firmly believed he would create a brand new world, a world that belonged to him!

"Haori, hello, is this our first meeting?"

Backstage at the training ground, the Third Hokage looked at Yuki with a smile.

Minato Namikaze stood beside him; his true body had already arrived, and what remained outside was merely a shadow clone.

"Hello, Hokage-sama, but this isn't the first time for me."

Yuzhi smiled and said that the assessment for him and Hikaru had ended.

Their fight was exceptionally intense, and both of them appeared to be taking it very seriously.

However, given the restriction that they cannot use the kaleidoscope, no matter how intense their battle is, it's actually not that serious.

Moreover, this kind of battle truly gives Yuzhi the advantage, even though he cannot use his eye techniques to enhance his strength.

But all those years of work were truly worthwhile; the rewards from the various side quests were unimaginably generous.

He possesses a vast array of techniques, and coupled with "Akai's physique" which makes him exceptionally resilient, he remains unscathed even after being kicked twice.

Ultimately, Guang couldn't stand his various unconventional methods any longer and, somewhat frustrated, chose to leave the scene.

However, their fight still elicited unimaginable cheers from the audience.

The beautiful and exquisite fighting style, the ferocious yet exceptionally precise release of ninjutsu with a strong sense of purpose.

This made everyone present truly realize that fighting can indeed be an art!

Most of them had only heard of it before, but now they finally saw it for themselves.

This caused a headache for many Uchiha clan members present, as those sitting near them would whisper questions to them.

Even if they were incredibly excited, the problem was that they simply didn't know how.

However, this had nothing to do with Yuzhi anymore. Looking at the system panel where rewards were being calculated, Yuzhi had already followed Namikaze and the others to the backstage to meet the Third Hokage.

This meeting confirmed Yuzhi's earlier suspicions: the old man was using the Jonin Exams as a stage.

This stage is for Minato Namikaze, and it's also for him!

"That's truly my regret, not discovering you sooner."

The Third Hokage still had a smile on his face, but he was also feeling a bit tense inside.

It's one thing that Yuzhi is a formidable fighter, but Uchiha Hotaru's fighting strength is also unexpectedly high.

Especially since the enthusiastic cheers from the outside world had subsided, he knew that it would be difficult for the other people's assessments to attract the audience's attention anymore.

Although this was a stage set up for the two of them, in the end, Yuzhi still stole the show.

What made things even more difficult for him was that although Uchiha Hotaru had voluntarily withdrawn from the competition, he couldn't refuse to give her the Jonin rank.

"Congratulations on successfully becoming a Jonin this time, and your clan will have three more Jonin this time."

Although he was upset inside, the Third Hokage continued to speak with a smile.

"I think I'll see quite a few new faces at future Jonin team meetings."

The Jonin Team is an institution that all Jonin of Konoha must join, and the matters discussed and decided there can even influence some of Konoha's policies.

Of course, these policies are only things that do not affect Konoha's grand strategy, but they do allow people to participate in the village's development.

Furthermore, the benefits and treatment of Jonin are far superior to those of Chunin, including the use of ninjutsu scrolls that do not involve secret techniques, as well as a fixed monthly allowance.

These are, in a sense, the dreams of every ninja!

However, each village doesn't have many Jonin. Even if you add up all the Jonin in Konoha, there are only two or three hundred.

As for Special Jonin, although they also have good treatment, they are far inferior to Jonin.

"Alright, I think we should get down to business."

The third generation leader didn't want to dwell on the assessment any longer, so he changed the subject.

"Actually, I've wanted to meet you for a long time, ever since we worked together to destroy the Kannabi Bridge. I just didn't expect you to go on another mission later."

Later, to protect the negotiations between Konoha and Iwagakure, she once again clashed with the people of Kirigakure. Thank you for your hard work, Hagoromo.

"I am a Konoha ninja, this is what I should do."

Yuri shook her head and spoke in agreement with the Third Hokage's idea.

"Yes, Konoha ninja."

As expected, the Third Hokage immediately smiled upon hearing Yuki's words.

"However, you have done so much, you deserve a reward."

"Haori-kun, what do you want?"

Upon hearing these words, Yuzhi was stunned for a moment.

Goodness, the Third Hokage probably couldn't think of anything else to give him, so he just passed the buck to him.

But Yuzhi didn't know what he wanted either, so after thinking it over, he could only speak up.

"I'll leave this matter entirely to the Hokage, since I'm a member of the Uchiha clan."

Although there have been changes within the clan, many things have been relaxed, so I don't know either.

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage and Minato exchanged a glance; they already understood what Haori meant.

"In that case, Minato will accompany you to peruse the Book of Seals, but you can only choose two techniques."

After a moment's thought, the third generation made a decision.

"Also, could I find out about the current situation within the Uchiha clan, including the haori?"

Although the village cannot interfere within the clan, you said that the Uchiha are Konoha's Uchiha, so naturally we need to care.

If you need any help, feel free to discuss it with us.

"Actually, everything is fine with the Uchiha clan now."

Hearing this, Yu Zhi found it somewhat amusing, but he still began to seriously spout nonsense.

"I told Senior Minato that although there are differing opinions within the clan, we can at least sit down and have a proper talk."

However, this time the losses were significant, and we may need some material compensation to help the family settle down more quickly.

As for the police department, after discussions within the family, it is now gradually undergoing changes, and I fully support these changes.

Despite numerous obstacles, we've managed to get started smoothly, but we're still short-handed. Perhaps we need more capable people to help us.

Yu Zhi said these words without batting an eye, and if Uchiha Shin and Uchiha Shu were here, they would probably be completely bewildered.

Those so-called "obstacles" are either in prison or in the Pure Land, drinking tea with the clan chief and elders, aren't they?

Is this considered an obstacle?

Unfortunately, the Third Hokage was unaware of these matters. He simply smiled and nodded before speaking.

"In that case, Konoha will not stand idly by. We will contact the other clans and have them meet with you."

As for how to negotiate and what the outcome will be, that's up to you. Konoha will not interfere in clan affairs.

In addition, Konoha can provide the Uchiha with any supplies they need free of charge; you can just make a list later.

At this point, the Third Generation suddenly stopped, then looked at Haori with a meaningful gaze.

"However, I have one request, and I hope you won't refuse, Hagoromo."

"Please speak, Hokage."

"I hope that this supply will be distributed under the name of your contact with Konoha, and not under any other name."

Do you understand what I mean?

-

"Of course I understand, they just want to support me to become the leader of the Uchiha clan."

At home, Yuri sat at the table, recalling his meeting with the Third Generation, and he couldn't help but start complaining.

But jokes aside, Hiruzen Sarutobi really brought something real this time.

He didn't even ask for the list, which means he's already decided to invest heavily.

Furthermore, they actively helped contact other clans to meet with the Uchiha, which was a clear signal.

People from other clans would give the Third Hokage some face, even though he was about to step down.

"However, these supplies can't be weapons or anything like that, otherwise he'll start to wonder if we're determined to become rebels."

Although Yuzhi is a traitor, there are some things that cannot be said openly, and even if she is regarded as a traitor, that can be discussed during the trial.

He hasn't lost yet, so why call him a traitor?

Moreover, Yuzhi was quite happy to have gotten so many things for free.

"Dinner's ready, you rascal!"

As Haori pondered, Hikaru came over with tonight's dinner.

Glancing at Yuzhi's mischievous grin, she assumed it was laughter at her loss and immediately lost her composure.

"What's there to be so smug about? When will we have another chance without any restrictions!"

"If you fought me without any restrictions, I would definitely lose, but unfortunately, I don't have that chance."

Yu Zhi immediately shook his head. Although he knew he had been misunderstood, he still managed to act like he had gotten the better deal but was still being smug.

This frustrated Guang, because although she had chosen to participate herself, it didn't mean she couldn't continue.

But seeing Yuzhi's expression, she suddenly regretted going down a little too early. She should have waited until this guy couldn't move anymore before making a move.

"Alright, this is just a formality anyway. Actually, I was planning to go down anyway, since it's hard for either of us to beat the other."

Seeing Hikari's appearance, Hagoromo thought for a moment and then offered a word of comfort.

"You mean I went down too early, otherwise you would have gone down?"

However, Guang seemed to have misunderstood, which made her even more frustrated, wondering why she had walked so fast.

"Not entirely, but thank you anyway."

Yu Zhi shook his head; he wouldn't go down, after all, it involved his reward!

[Side quest completed: Defeat Uchiha Hikaru and complete the assessment with a perfect record]

[Reward: Amaterasu (Uchiha Hikaru)]

Amaterasu's ability is quite powerful. Although it seems she never actually killed anyone in the original story, her effectiveness has never been lacking.

Especially when used for surprise attacks, it can catch people off guard and strike instantly.

After all, not everyone is the Fourth Raikage, and not everyone can use Izanagi like Obito.

"Furthermore, why is Amaterasu, the goddess of light, able to control those flames?"

Haori had always believed that Kagutsuchi possessed the power of light, since she could control Amaterasu to form a protective barrier.

But now he discovers that the situation seems to be somewhat different from what he thought; Amaterasu itself can be controlled!

"That's really a bit perverted."

Although she was very happy, Yuzhi couldn't help but curse inwardly. How could Sasuke in the future bear this?

"Forget it, don't thank me. I've never been interested in this kind of thing anyway."

Guang shook her head indifferently; she hadn't taken this assessment to heart at all.

Although she was somewhat annoyed, she would calm down after a while.

"And to be honest, shouldn't I be the one thanking you?"

"Don't talk about such profound topics, and don't dwell on the past. Just live your life well in the present."

Yuzhi shook his head, stopping her from saying anything more; he knew what the girl wanted to say.

"Yes, let's just enjoy life as it is now."

She glanced at the haori, nodded, and didn't refute.

"It's a pity, it seems there are some grudges that I will find difficult to avenge."

I hate this world, I hate this ninja system, but I also have to consider the feelings of some innocent people.

This is true within this clan, and it is true throughout the entire ninja world, which is far more complex and difficult than any clan.

Yuzhi remained silent upon hearing her words. She understood the saying, "One should not advise others to be kind if one has not experienced their suffering."

Moreover, eliminating the entire ninja world system is extremely difficult, especially since they themselves are part of it.

Elimination and destruction are impossible, but perhaps there is a tiny chance of change?

"I'm curious, what were you thinking when I said I wanted to destroy the world?"

Suddenly, Hikaru looked at Hagoromo with curiosity and asked with a smile.

"Are you planning to lie to me again?"

No, it won't.

After thinking for a while, Hagoromo looked at Hikaru and slowly spoke.

"I might cooperate with you to do something."

In a different dimension, a little distance from Haori's house, Obito's eyes gleamed slightly.

He dared not get too close, because he knew that Yuzhi also had spatial abilities, and it would be difficult to hear what was being said inside.

Because that bastard Yuzhi set up a soundproof barrier, he still had some ways to make himself hear some sounds.

This time, he heard a very interesting and fascinating sound!

"Did she say she wanted to destroy the world?"

I went to work, but the schedule wasn't right.

Actually, I think I mentioned it before. The Third Hokage turned this exam into a stage specifically for Minato Namikaze and the main characters. Perhaps I wrote it too subtly, leading to misunderstandings. Also, Naruto had to participate in the exam after the Fourth Shinobi World War, and I wrote it based on that point.
