Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

If the major ninja villages were ranked, Sunagakure would definitely be second. In recent years, Konoha's top ninjas have either died or left, leaving only Hiruzen Sarutobi and White Fang. Hiruzen Sarutobi is old, and White Fang is no longer young. It's hard to say how much of their peak strength they can still exert. Originally, this generation was the best opportunity to surpass Konoha and become the overlord of the ninja world. But damn it, Minato Namikaze has only been dead for a few years, and Konoha's next generation has risen up again, and there are two of them at once. The key is that they are both from the Uchiha clan.

Although he didn't experience Madara Uchiha's era, he had heard his grandfather boast about it a lot when he was a child, especially since their First Hokage was killed young by Madara Uchiha. Whether their First Hokage was strong or not is obvious. Someone who could get so many clans to agree to build a village together would not be lacking in combat power.

Madara Uchiha is most famous for his awesome Sharingan. Now, according to Shinto-sama, Itachi Uchiha awakened his Sharingan at a younger age than Madara Uchiha. This is definitely the future Madara Uchiha!

While Lord Shinto can still fight, he's getting old, and it's hard to say how many more years he can maintain that level. Although he's a Double-Flower Red Rank, he knows his limitations and is far from being at that level. Of the next generation in his village, only his youngest son's generation is somewhat promising, but even the Nine-Tails was Madara Uchiha's pet. A weakling like the One-Tail probably wouldn't dare raise his voice in front of such a figure, let alone Gaara, who was trained by the One-Tail...

Karin is a combination of Sasori and the Uzumaki clan, but it's hard to say how talented she really is. There's no such thing as "I'm awesome" in the ninja world. Just look at Hashirama Senju, who was incredibly powerful, yet his grandson is still a weakling.

By the time Itachi Uchiha grows up, the current generation of their village will be old. Given the Uchiha clan's ambitions, Sunagakure might become their subordinate!

"...Stop sighing. It's true that the kid is incredibly talented, but everything has two sides. Just because he's so young and already so powerful isn't necessarily a good thing, especially with special bloodline limits like the Uchiha. His body isn't fully developed yet, and it's hard to say whether it can withstand such immense power. Not everyone is like Madara. If that kid were to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan now, even he probably wouldn't be able to handle it. Although I haven't studied the Sharingan, look at how many twelve-year-olds in ninja history have reached Kage level? It's only because I'm exceptionally talented and physically strong that he's achieved this. At that rate of growth every day, just you wait... he'll collapse sooner or later."

Seeing Rasa shaking his head and sighing, Masato pouted and said, "Madara is the reincarnation of our ancestor, which is why he's unaffected. This youngest son, although he's the youngest, has the same body and bloodline as the average Uchiha clan member. At most, he's just a bit more talented. He awakened the Sharingan at a young age, and now at eleven, it's already evolved to the three-tomoe Sharingan. Once that grandson of Uchiha Kagami jumps into the river, he'll immediately unleash his Mangekyou Sharingan and reach Kage level in no time. A twelve-year-old Kage level sounds impressive, but how can a body that hasn't fully matured withstand such power? He's not the reincarnation of our ancestor. Masato guesses that Itachi's terminal illness is related to awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan too early. After all, using the Mangekyou Sharingan too much will only make you blind, not cause any terminal illness."

It must be related to awakening the kaleidoscope at such a young age!

This Uchiha Itachi is risking his life to show off!

"Moreover, given the current relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha, it should be Hiruzen Sarutobi who is worried, not us. Ever since Shisui Uchiha became famous two years ago, our spies have also reported that the Uchiha have been making constant small moves over the past two years. I think we can't keep it from the higher-ups in Konoha."

Yoshikura, the senior secretary-general of the Jonin team, continued Masato's words.

After leaving the Anbu and becoming the senior secretary-general of the Jonin class in the past two years, he brought a fresh approach and immediately fired all the substitute secretaries that Ebizo had hired for Shinto. He took charge of everything himself, which made those who had managed to get a job through Ebizo's connections and freeload grit their teeth. They had spent a lot of time treating Ebizo to lavish meals and girls to get a white-collar salary in the Jonin class, and now they hadn't even earned back their money before being fired.

However, this senior secretary-general was a disciple of Master Zhendou, someone even their family patriarchs had to back down from. They could only accept their bad luck.

After witnessing Yekura's abilities, especially seeing the fresh faces and new energy in the Jonin squad, Rasa was completely relieved. Subconsciously, he was reluctant for Yekura to leave the Anbu. Although she was a girl, she was reliable and efficient, practically the Kazekage's little helper. The nominal head of the Anbu was Sasori's father, but that was just for show. Sasori's father's main focus was the puppeteer unit, and he wasn't used to the dark side of the Anbu, so he rarely clocked in. If the Anbu hadn't been so lacking in talent, he would have given up his position long ago. For years, Rasa had been managing the Anbu, but as the Kazekage, he had to deal with a mountain of big and small matters every day. From Wang Ermazi's dog going missing to Takeshita's grandmother's kitchen knife disappearing, there were countless trivial things that escaped his grasp as the Kazekage. He also had three children to teach at home, so he didn't have much time to manage the Anbu. This is where Yekura's importance in the Anbu became apparent.

909. How come a village that's supposed to be a supporting character village doesn't produce any talented people?

Therefore, Rasa wanted to promote Yekura to the position of Anbu Chief. Although the position of Anbu Chief in Sunagakure has always been reserved for their own people and not open to other families, his generation was originally his father's, but his father died in World War II. He was then trained as an assistant to the Kazekage. So when his grandfather retired, there was no suitable candidate for Anbu Chief, so Sasori's father could only hold the title.

However, the situation in the village is different now than it was back then. Rasa, the Kazekage, is too busy with his daily tasks to manage the Anbu. Moreover, after so many years, there hasn't been a suitable person to manage the Anbu. Yekura is, after all, Shinto's disciple, practically one of their own. While she might lack some strength, Chiyo and Ebizo shouldn't object. Besides, she's been in the Anbu for so many years and is familiar with its operating system, making her easy to manage. Originally, they planned to wait two years before appointing Yekura, but she was instead transferred to be the senior secretary of the Jonin squad. At first, he was quite worried. After all, the Jonin Squad had been thoroughly exploited by Lord Shinto's hundreds of secretaries years ago. After those people retired, Ebizo found a bunch of substitute secretaries for Shinto, who were basically just freeloaders. After he took over, Ebizo's power also came under his control. Although the Jonin Squad wasn't as complicated as other departments, since it was Lord Shinto's territory and those clans wouldn't dare to interfere, it was still a mixed bag. Those substitute secretaries were people Ebizo had recruited through various means. He couldn't just fire them after they had served their purpose; that would be disrespectful to Ebizo.

He never expected Yekura to be so brave. On his very first day on the job, she risked public outrage by firing everyone. So seeing how well Yekura had organized the Jonin team, even though they lost an Anbu leader, they gained a team of Jonin full of positive energy, so it was a win-win situation.

"The Uchiha are one of the founding clans of Konoha and a core fighting force of the village. Konoha shouldn't turn against the Uchiha, right?"

"This is what the new patriarch of the Maochuan clan, who is also Conan's father's brother-in-law, said."

The conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha has a long history, which is an open secret in the ninja world. So even if everyone knows what tricks the Uchiha are up to, they think it's normal. Konoha won't turn against the Uchiha over this. After all, the Senju clan, as one of the founding clans of Konoha, has produced two Hokage, while the Uchiha hasn't produced a single one. Now that the Senju clan has declined, it's normal for them to have some thoughts. It's only human nature. If their village didn't have Lady Chiyo in charge, the competition for Kazekage would have been even more intense. Even the Kazekage clan would have gotten involved, since everyone was a founder of the village and no one's contribution was less than anyone else's.

"That's hard to say. Back then, Madara Uchiha was the founder of Konoha, and in the end, he still had the final battle with Hashirama Senju at the Valley of the End. Now, Konoha only has Sakumo Hatake as a formidable opponent, and the Uchiha clan has produced two super geniuses. Ambition is a truly unpredictable thing."

Meikawa Naito, who's been sitting on the latrine without doing anything, waiting for his arch-rival to step down, is a veteran with more inside information than the younger generation. The younger generation has only heard of Uchiha Madara; Madara's story with Konoha has been lost to history. It's only because they're in Sunagakure that they have no taboos about this once-famous ninja demon. In Konoha, many young people don't even know who the most powerful clan head of the Uchiha clan was.

Some clans still have historical records, but the ninja world has mostly focused on killing, and how many people are as interested in studying history as Fugaku Uchiha...?

Even people of Umekawa Naito's generation weren't very clear about these inside stories. It was only when his youngest son, who had become a researcher, found this chapter in his research materials that he learned about it.

"Alright, why think so much? What Konoha and the Uchiha do is none of our business. Let Hiruzen Sarutobi have a headache. If you don't want the next generation to be killed by Konoha, then go home and teach the next generation. Beat them up whenever you have the chance. Look at Kudo, wasn't he beaten up by me?"

Shinto looked at this guy who was so bored that he was concerned about the Uchiha clan and Konoha, and looked up at the sky speechlessly. Didn't he have any idea what kind of people his own family members were like? Instead of paying attention to that youngest son, he should pay attention to the younger generation of his own family.

Honestly, the living conditions in Sunagakure are many times better now than they were decades ago. Back then, we were always worried about when the One-Tailed Cat would go berserk. Now, we don't have to worry about the Seven-Tailed Cat sleeping soundly at home. With improved living conditions, the children's quality should have improved accordingly. Although they are not geniuses, their quality should be much better than that of the children back then, right?

But after so many years, the kids from these families are still the same as they were back then. Although they are not as arrogant and domineering as they used to be, they just can't improve their quality or ability. Although Sunagakure is not the main village, it is the supporting village with the most screen time in the entire Naruto series, right?

But over the years, apart from the unexpected discovery of "Conan's father" that he made, there really hasn't been any other talented people. Most of the characters who have stood out are just plot characters like Rasa, Sasori, and Gaara.

Even Kankuro, who has an exaggerated tendency and always talks about his Kazekage father, and Temari, the future big-headed wife of Konoha, are only so-so in terms of talent. They are not bad, but they are definitely not geniuses. The only one who can be associated with the word "genius" is Gaara, who has the protection of his mother's love.

However, Gaara is just so-so. If it weren't for the fat cat living in his belly, his talent of simply manipulating ordinary sand wouldn't be anything special. In the original story, if Sunagakure hadn't really run out of talent, he really wouldn't have been able to become Kazekage. Now that Karin, the little princess, is around, it's probably impossible for Gaara to become Kazekage.

As long as Karin doesn't grow up to be as stubborn as her handsome father, the future Kazekage will definitely be Karin, the little princess, while Gaara, like his father, will be destined to be a substitute.

The ultimate reason why Sunagakure has lacked talent over the years is somewhat related to the laissez-faire educational methods of these clans. In the Land of Wind, these clans may be considered prestigious, but they are far inferior to the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, which have been established for hundreds or thousands of years as royalty. Their educational traditions are not as formal. In the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, regardless of whether someone is a genius or not, they are all taught in the same way when they are young. If someone is a genius, they might be given special treatment.

910. Absolutely shocking! The Uchiha clan got wiped out in a one-on-one fight!

This educational model might be too rigid for Shinto, whose thinking is 500 years ahead of this era after nine years of compulsory education. It's unlikely to produce any super geniuses. Even if one or two super geniuses are lucky enough to emerge, they won't have the reincarnation of ancestors like Madara or Senju. They'll just die young. But almost none of their children are mediocre; they all have some talent.

Someone like Obito is purely a character needed for the plot...

The Sunagakure clans didn't have a fixed educational model. They would focus on nurturing children with good talent, while those with less talent were left to their own devices and would end up as cannon fodder on the battlefield.

This kind of education system works somewhat better for small families, but it's completely ineffective on a large family. Just like with Meikawa Naiyi, when Meikawa Naiyi's legs were still intact, he showed outstanding talent and maturity beyond his years at a young age. Meikawa Hakuchi even directly bypassed his eldest son, Meikawa Naito, and designated this grandson as the legitimate heir of the Meikawa clan. At a young age, he was taught by a Jonin of the clan, and the clan had all kinds of ninjutsu and secret techniques. Meikawa Hakuchi didn't even glance at the other children, and he didn't care about his grandsons at all. He focused all his attention on cultivating his grandson. As a result, after this grandson lost his legs due to some force majeure, the other grandsons, because they were used to being raised without support, ended up none of them becoming successful. And because of this, he had been at odds with the culprit, Shinto, for decades. Despite being several generations apart in age, he could even say that he was waiting for Shinto to die with him.

If it weren't for the incident with handsome Sasori, which forced Shinto to bite the bullet and seek reconciliation with that old man, and if it weren't for the fact that Naito's eldest son was sensible enough to turn back and accept the family's reformation in time, that old man would probably still be lying on his bed, waiting for Shinto to die with him...

"..."

Everyone was speechless. It was as if he were some kind of amazing teacher! Handsome Scorpion was a perfect genius, and you'd managed to get him to run away from home. ヽ(ー_ー)ノ

Scorpio's running away from home has now become a stain on the career of the self-proclaimed "Great Teacher" Leo.

Everyone in the ninja world knows about Sasori, the Sand Village's super puppeteer and arguably the most handsome boy in the ninja world. He was raised under the tutelage of this "great teacher," leading to his running away from home before reaching adulthood. This has resulted in Chiyo keeping a tight rein on him after Karin's birth, absolutely forbidding him from touching her precious great-granddaughter, lest he raise another runaway prodigy...

........

However, just when the entire ninja world believed that the Uchiha clan had produced two geniuses and was ready to take off.

In June of the 57th year of Konoha, the autumn air was crisp and clear.

However, a piece of news that came from Konoha was like a depth charge, causing a huge uproar throughout the entire ninja world.

This is absolutely shocking! The Uchiha clan got wiped out in a one-on-one fight!

A year ago, Itachi Uchiha, the rising star of the Uchiha clan and the MVP of the first Chunin Exams, wiped out the entire Uchiha clan overnight, not even sparing his own parents. The entire Uchiha clan was wiped out, with only one survivor being the youngest son of the Uchiha clan leader, who was Itachi's younger brother, because he was not at the clan after school that day due to a late school exam.

The news spread like wildfire throughout the ninja world in just a few days, shocking everyone.

The Uchiha clan!

The number one clan in the ninja world since the era of the ninja village, and even in the chaotic era, it was still one of the top two super clans in the ninja world. No one can compete with the Senju clan without its members!

In this era of the decline of the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan is undoubtedly the number one clan in the ninja world. One Uchiha can take on five opponents at once, who can compete with him!

For hundreds of years, there have been countless families with deep-seated hatred towards the Uchiha clan, but the complete annihilation of the Uchiha clan has only ever occurred in dreams.

Throughout the long history of the ninja world, the Uchiha clan has left an indelible mark and countless legends.

However, this once-powerful clan of the ninja world was slaughtered overnight by the Uchiha Star, the rising star of the ninja world.

This is fucking outrageous!

Many people slapped their faces until they were swollen upon hearing the news, only realizing they weren't dreaming when they felt the pain on their faces.

The Uchiha clan, the most powerful clan in the ninja world, has truly been wiped out, and the culprit is none other than the Uchiha Star! This is just too damn exciting!

Even Onoki had to swallow an entire bottle of nitroglycerin pills to recover after hearing the news...

At this time, after a year, the name Uchiha Itachi, the star of the Uchiha clan, once again dominated the headlines of various news sections in the ninja world. Even Sasori, who had long been known for his good looks and dominance in the entertainment section, had to give way. Almost every major section was filled with the awesome name of Uchiha Itachi.

That's the Uchiha clan!

Although the Uchiha clan has been relatively quiet in recent years because no outstanding geniuses have emerged, their reputation as a clan of geniuses is not undeserved. A single tomoe character can take on two opponents, and a three-tomoe character can take on five opponents. Just thinking about the densely packed red-eyed monsters is enough to make one's scalp tingle. Such a super-powerful clan was actually defeated by a twelve-year-old kid.

At this moment, no one in the ninja world called Itachi Uchiha the Star of the Uchiha Clan anymore. What does "Star of the Uchiha Clan" mean? It means a rising star who will lead the Uchiha clan to new heights in the future.

But now the ninja world can wipe out the Uchiha clan overnight, so why bother with the future?

He's already a top-tier double-flower red stick in the ninja world, okay?

Just imagine, a top-tier double-flower red stick at the age of twelve... that's even more awesome than Konoha's White Fang and Sunagakure's Golden Lion, who were decades old!

The White Fang of Konoha and the Golden Lion of Sunagakure at the age of twelve only managed to defeat a near-Kage, unlike Itachi Uchiha who wiped out a super-powerful clan. That's just ridiculously exaggerated.

"Karin, wake up! That brat is nothing but a rogue ninja!"

The influence of the Uchiha clan massacre continues. In Sunagakure, Sasori's father, looking at his beloved granddaughter who was holding a poster of Itachi Uchiha and whose eyes had turned into hearts, covered his forehead and looked up at the sky. What on earth is wrong with this world? How could a rogue ninja who is like a rat crossing the street have captivated these little girls to this extent?

As a master at flirting, he knew he was doomed when he saw his beloved granddaughter's expression.

"Sigh! Give up. Times have changed. It's an era that values ​​looks now..."

Grandpa Zhendou slumped in his pure gold armchair and said calmly, "Little Karin inherited her mother's infatuation with girls. Although this Uchiha Itachi isn't as handsome as his younger brother, his unique charm is something no one else can imitate. It's much more lethal than his younger brother's pretty face."

With Itachi Uchiha's recent outrageous behavior, not only is Karin a hopeless romantic, but even Onoki's long-legged granddaughter is completely captivated...

911. Is the feng shui of Uncle Ban's grave bad?

"Mother, do you think we should tie up that Uchiha brat and break all three of his legs...?"

Handsome Scorpion's father stroked his chin and said to his worried mother next door.

What a mess! His son killed the village leader and ran away, and now his granddaughter has fallen for a rogue ninja. Even the good-natured Sasori's father can't stand it. He knows his precious granddaughter is a bit of a fangirl, but that Uchiha brat isn't even that handsome. He's not even close to his son, let alone Sasori.

But how can it be so alluring?

"...Don't even think about it. That kid was able to take down an Uchiha single-handedly, which means he has definitely awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. There are really very few people in the ninja world who can beat him. Your old man, my uncle, was swatted by his ancestral giant and died young. Besides, the ninja world is so big, how easy is it to find a rogue ninja?"

Masato rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.

Just kidding, that's the youngest son. After the eldest son died, before the savior and the second male lead rose to power, he was the most powerful. Sending more underlings would just be sending them to their deaths. Even if handsome Sasori's father went alone, he would be in danger. The replica of the Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters couldn't defeat his ancestral giant. What's more, he also has the awesome Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu, which can burn the Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters to ashes. He's practically the nemesis of puppeteers.

"Speaking of which, how did that Uchiha brat manage to wipe out his own clan? What a terrible thing to do..."

Sasori's father was also in a terrible pain. After the joint Chunin Exams a year ago, everyone thought that the Uchiha generation was about to take off. But now they really have taken off, and the entire clan has ascended. The culprit is the very same Uchiha Star who was about to lead the Uchiha to take off. This is even more outrageous than his son killing the head of his own family.

"It should be a match between Konoha and Uchiha. In the end, Konoha won, but without Uchiha, Konoha's strength was greatly reduced."

Chiyo patted her beloved great-granddaughter's head as if she understood everything. Apart from Kakuzu, she was the most senior ninja in the entire ninja world, and she knew more about the shady dealings between the Uchiha and Konoha than anyone else.

However, she was surprised to hear about this Uchiha brat. Judging from the situation, this brat had killed his entire clan for the sake of the village, a rare act of courage in the ninja world. But why he has now become a Konoha traitor is something worth pondering.

"By the way! Isn't there another Uchiha, 'Shisui of the Body Flicker,' whose talent is no less than that brat's? Do you think it's possible that Uchiha Shisui awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan back then?"

At this moment, Ebizo also remembered that everyone was focused on Uchiha Itachi and had forgotten that there was also Uchiha Shisui. He was extremely envious when he heard that the Uchiha had produced two geniuses!

Although his sister's family is also a birthplace of geniuses in Sunagakure, the number of them is too small, and only one emerges every ten years or so. Karin, who can't stay still and is always making a fuss, is still in the undetermined zone. Look at the Uchiha clan, not only are they all like dragons, but they even produced two at once!

Although he didn't know why Shisui of the Body Flicker Technique hadn't appeared much in recent years, his talent was undeniable—he could turn the tables and kill so many Sand Village ninjas at the age of thirteen or fourteen. While he couldn't be sure, he also wondered if Shisui of the Body Flicker Technique might have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Two kaleidoscopes have emerged in one generation, and at such a young age. To be honest, just thinking about it makes Ebizo's scalp tingle. Is the feng shui of Ban's grave too good?

Now the Uchiha clan has been wiped out by Itachi Uchiha, leaving only Fugaku Uchiha's youngest son. Does that mean Shisui Uchiha is also dead?

Ebizo looked at Shinto with a puzzled expression. In the entire ninja world, Shinto was the only one who had ever fought against the Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Well... it's hard to say. After all, ninjas can occasionally have a sudden burst of power, and their potential is more likely to be unleashed in dangerous situations. I've never met this Uchiha Shisui, so I'm not really sure. But the Uchiha clan has been wiped out by a single person, leaving only a kid. I guess this Uchiha Shisui isn't much better off."
