Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

"Mm." Yin Yue nodded to the servant.

Naruto looked Toneri up and down, then said seriously, "Is this guy just responsible for keeping an eye on the ninja world here all this time?"

The attendant said frankly:

"Don't underestimate this mission."

Naruto leaned close to Toneri and whispered disdainfully, "Tell me the truth, have you ever peeked into my private life?"

Shiro stepped back, creating distance between himself and Naruto, and rolled his eyes at the latter, not wanting to have anything to do with this guy anymore; it was just too awkward.

"You're so scared, you must be hiding something!" Naruto exclaimed.

Sakura approached Naruto and elbowed him in the chest. After he winced in pain, she said in a low voice, "Behave yourself. Do you still want Lord Yinyue to take us to that place?"

Upon hearing this, Naruto clutched his chest, his face contorted in pain, but he dared not cry out and remained quiet.

Sheren immediately stepped aside, "Lord Yinyue, there have been no unusual events in the ninja world recently, and there have been no spacetime turbulence in the past timeline. Everything is stable."

"Very good." Yin Yue led Kakashi and the others to the curtain in the center area. "I'm going to take them back to the past world."

The attendant respectfully replied, "Yes, sir!"

If it were Yin Yue who sent Kakashi's team back to the past alone, Toneri would naturally be worried.

After all, no one knows what kind of time-altering things a team with Naruto in the past world might do.

However, with Yin Yue leading the team, this wouldn't happen. After all, even if the timeline is modified, for Yin Yue now, it would only be a matter of consuming some spacetime power to fix the timeline.

"Back to the past!"

Naruto's eyes widened.

Sakura suddenly had an idea, and for a moment she felt hope rekindled in her heart.

Sasuke paused, his emotions not yet fully recovered, and for a moment he appeared somewhat dazed.

Kakashi was also surprised by this.

This was their first time arriving in the Dragon Vein Time and Space, so they didn't know exactly where Yin Yue wanted to take them. Now that they had learned of this outcome, they were naturally shocked and excited.

For them, time travel is something that can never be done.

Yin Yue stared at the time-space curtain in front of her, and then used her mental power to adjust the timeline.

The images on the screen changed.

The scene freezes on Konoha Village.

And the timeline keeps going backward.

Finally, the scene freezes on a certain afternoon in Konoha, after school at the Ninja Academy, with the sun setting perfectly in the sky, as Itachi and Sasuke contact the kunai.

Upon seeing the familiar scene, Sasuke's expression froze. Before his thoughts could wander, the surrounding space and time suddenly shifted again, and his vision was filled with soft white light.

When everyone opened their eyes again.

They were astonished to discover this.

Being in the forest, with the afterglow of the sun filtering through the trees and shining on them, gives one a lazy and pleasant feeling.

Kakashi immediately said in a deep voice:

"We've gone back in time!!"

He stretched out his hands, examined his palms repeatedly, and then released lightning chakra to confirm that he was not in a genjutsu, but in the real world.

"Yes," Yin Yue said calmly, "Don't be afraid that your actions will change the timeline."

With that, Yin Yue looked at Sasuke and said earnestly, "Go, do what you want to do. I'll come back to pick you up later!"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke's eyes reddened, and he respectfully bowed to Yin Yue: "Thank you, Father!!"

Yin Yue reached out and ruffled Sasuke's hair, then opened a portal, signaling Kakashi and the others behind him to follow.

Naruto and the others gave Sasuke, who was in low spirits, a deep look before following Yinyue into the portal.

Enter it.

The crowd did not leave, but instead faded away, and the field of vision they could see could change according to Yin Yue's thoughts.

Yinyue showed no intention of leaving.

He led Kakashi and the others to observe Yin Yue.

Sasuke glanced back at the setting sun beyond the forest, thought for a moment, and then formed hand seals.

He used a transformation technique to turn himself into an ordinary-looking Konoha ninja.

Heading towards the forest ahead, they soon arrived at the training ground where Itachi had tutored Sasuke when he was a child.

"Brother... someone's here!"

Sasuke looked warily at the Konoha ninja-dressed guy who suddenly emerged from the forest.

The handsome and adorable Sasuke widened his eyes and pouted, clearly unhappy that someone had disturbed his precious time alone with his brother.

Itachi turned his head in surprise and looked the Konoha ninja up and down, his expression changing slightly.

Despite his keen senses, he failed to detect this person and allowed him to enter the area.

"Who are you?" Itachi asked.

The Konoha ninja smiled:

"I just finished a mission and heard some noise here, so I thought I'd come and take a look. If you don't mind, I'll sit here and watch."

Itachi thought for a moment. He had just brought Sasuke here to play, and if he took Sasuke home now because they had been disturbed, the little guy would definitely be unhappy.

So Itachi smiled and nodded, saying, "We're all from the same village, so maybe they can point out our problems. It's nothing."

These words were naturally spoken to the Konoha ninjas, and also to young Sasuke.

Since his older brother has said so, young Sasuke sighed, "Alright, hehe, brother, maybe this guy's throwing skills aren't even as good as mine!"

As he spoke, he began to imitate Itachi's movements, following Itachi's previous instructions, and threw the kunai he was holding at the target in the forest ahead.

Sasuke, disguised as a Konoha ninja, remained expressionless, his kind face unchanged, and quietly sat down on a wooden post near Itachi.

Although his father had said that he could change the timeline at will, Sasuke still thought of his father and changed his appearance so as not to add to his father's burden because of his own affairs.

After all, the fact that his father was able to take him back to the past was already a great favor to him.

Watching Itachi teach his younger self in peace, and being able to sit beside Itachi and observe, Sasuke's previously complex and depressed emotions suddenly calmed down, like a tsunami that had subsided and returned to a calm lake, without any ripples.

Itachi, standing nearby, also sensed that this strange fellow villager ninja harbored no ill intentions and exuded an incredibly peaceful aura.

This reassured Itachi somewhat.

In a dimensional space beyond their perception, everyone witnessed this scene and had their own thoughts.

Kakashi felt that Naruto and Sasuke did indeed have a good stepfather who, in order to heal his son's psychological trauma, said he would travel through time and space.

This method inevitably requires enormous resources and comes at a great cost, they just don't know it.

But Yin Yue still chose to do it.

This is what Kakashi admires.

Sakura felt that this scene was wonderful. With this space travel, Sasuke's inner trauma should be healed a lot, and he wouldn't have to live such a tiring life anymore.

Naruto also felt that Sasuke needed this kind of psychological therapy.

While everyone was lost in their own thoughts...

Yin Yue looked at them, "Next."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi paused, then asked in surprise, "Next?"

Yin Yue looked at Xiao Ying: "You must want to know where your parents are."

Upon hearing this, Sakura's eyes widened, her body trembled slightly, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Yes—Lord Yinyue, I really want to know the whereabouts of my parents!"

Yin Yue nodded, and the space-time around them subtly shifted. They had arrived at another timeline, the time when the three great ninja villages besieged Konoha.

The Uchiha clan was wiped out.

Yinyue led the team away from the village.

The three great ninja villages besieged and conquered Konoha, plunging the village into chaos.

Then, within the Shadow Rock, Zero-Tails appeared, and a large number of civilians fled the ninja village, their whereabouts unknown.

Sakura's parents disappeared around that time and were never heard from again.

Sakura later offered a bounty for this mission in the ninja village, but there was still no news.

She had not made any significant contributions to Yin Yue or the Ninja Village, so it was not appropriate for her to ask Yin Yue, the deity of the ninja world, to help her find her parents.

But right now, it's as if Yin Yue is helping her out of the ordinary. This kindness makes Xiao Ying feel flattered and grateful.

Excitedly gazing at the moon, Sakura looked around and found that her perspective had shifted to the Shadow Rock, which was still intact, offering a panoramic view of Konoha during the war.

"Over there, Sakura!"

Kakashi quickly deduced the direction in which the Konoha civilians fled the Kage Rock Refuge.

Sakura looked in the direction Kakashi pointed.

However, with so many civilians, it was impossible to tell who was who, making it difficult to pinpoint her parents' location.

As the ninja armies of the three major ninja villages poured into Konoha, the Konoha civilians who were originally in the Kage Rock shelter began to flee the village. Yin Yue watched the fleeing civilians, and suddenly, he snapped his fingers.

pat-

After the crisp sound.

Sakura spotted two figures embracing tightly despite the surging crowd. Their bodies glowed with a red light, making them stand out, which was why Sakura was able to quickly locate them.

Take a closer look.

Zoom in on the image.

Sakura was surprised to find that they were her parents, before she could even speak to Yinyue.

The space shifted again, and Sakura found herself in the midst of a chaotic crowd. Her back and shoulders kept bumping into people, and in that instant, she was surrounded by surging heads, completely disoriented.

"What did you say?" Haruno Cho held his wife, Haruno Mebuki, tightly in his arms, and asked in surprise, "You said you saw our daughter??"

Haruno Mebuki leaned against her husband's chest and nodded emphatically, "Yes, I saw it!"

"Isn't she with her classmates?!" Haruno Chō gritted his teeth, fighting off the impact from the crowd and being swept forward by them. "You must be hallucinating. The crowd is starting to move. Come on, we can't fall behind, but we can't get too far ahead either!!"

Amidst the shouts, the two quickly walked away in the direction of the surging crowd.

Because the scene was too chaotic, even though Yin Yue had just delivered Sakura to Haruno and his wife, Sakura was briefly stunned before being pushed apart by the crowd.

"Father, Mother!!" Sakura's loud shouts were swallowed up and covered by the chaotic and terrified cries.

Fortunately, the light that Yin Yue marked remained, and even though there was a wall of people in front of her, she could still locate the direction of her parents.

"..."

Sakura gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and exerted all her strength, charging and crashing through the crowd, relying solely on brute force to follow the direction her parents had left in.

In the dimensional space.

Yin Yue looked at Kakashi and Naruto. Kakashi immediately helped Naruto to his side, clearly wanting his student to go first.

Yinyue nodded.

The three traveled through time once again, this time returning to the period before Konoha suffered the Nine-Tails' attack, when Minato was the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.

It is nighttime.

The full moon hangs in the sky.

They were in the trees in the jungle outside the Hokage Building in Konoha, and could see Minato's figure in the building's window as he corrected scrolls.

Yin Yue looked at Naruto: "Go, go see them."

This is actually a knot in Naruto's heart. However, with the timeline being completely altered by the Moon Drinker, Naruto now lives with the resurrected Kushina.

Although he has never met his biological father, this unresolved issue is no longer a deep knot in Naruto's heart.

"Hehe!" Naruto grinned and said, "Okay!"

As he spoke, he jumped down from the tree, but did not rush to use the transformation spell.

With his current strength, infiltrating the Hokage Building would not be a problem.

With a few leaps, Naruto skillfully bypassed the Anbu's surveillance and entered the building, just like going home.

From Kakashi's omniscient perspective, he also discovers that his past self was even hiding on the roof of the Hokage Building, watching over his master who was working below.

Kakashi suddenly remembered that one afternoon, Minato came to him and asked him to become his ANBU member to protect his teacher's wife who was about to give birth.

Thinking of this, Kakashi's expression darkened. If he hadn't revealed the time and place of his teacher's wife's childbirth, things wouldn't have turned out the way they did.

Of course, Naruto's infiltration just now demonstrated the results of his hard training over the years.

Even with Kakashi's excellent vantage point on the rooftop, he couldn't spot Naruto.

Composing himself, Kakashi marveled at Naruto's rapid growth.

Hokage Building.

Kakashi's expression hardened, and he said in a deep voice to the boy hiding in the shadows behind him, "Did you see anything?"

The ANBU member wearing a cat mask shook his head and said, "Senior, I didn't see anything."

Young Kakashi sighed softly, "Maybe I've been too tense lately. How could someone sneak into the building right under our noses?"

Thinking it over, he looked at the cat-faced ANBU beside him: "I'll rest for a while, you keep watch."

"Yes—" The cat-faced ANBU nodded and then went to Kakashi's position to replace him.

Inside the Hokage Building.

Naruto quickly entered the corridor, walking close to the shadows along the wall. He did not act rashly, but quietly waited for the right opportunity.

Soon, he spotted a lone ninja carrying some documents, clearly on his way to deliver them to the Hokage's office.

Naruto's eyes lit up. "Sorry!"

In a flash, he appeared behind the ninja. Gangzi Tie's expression froze, and he felt a chill on his neck. His blood and qi could not keep up, and he fainted.

Naruto hugged the other person and dragged them into a corner in the shadows.

A moment later, Naruto transformed into Kogure, straightened his green vest, and headed towards the Hokage's office with the documents in hand. (End of Chapter)
