Narration system starting from Konoha

"Lord Tsuchikage, there are still many wounded. If we treat them, Uchiha Sora might escape. If we don't treat them now, many of them will die immediately."

Earth Shadow flew into the air and glanced around, his expression very unpleasant.

"Have everyone near the gate participate in rescuing the injured. After confirming that none of the seriously injured used the Transformation Technique, send them to the hospital."

Onoki knew that if he did this, Uchiha Sora, if alive, would definitely take the opportunity to escape.

Sora looked at Onoki from the system space and quickly sent a voiceover.

[Onoki is overthinking it. Uchiha Sora had already escaped during the previous chaos. Iwagakure's actions were pointless and only made them a laughing stock.]

The narrator's voice suddenly rang out.

All the Iwa ninja looked as if they had swallowed flies. Onoki snorted coldly, turned around, and flew away.

Everyone dislikes narration, but by now, most ninjas have formed a shared belief:

The narrator never lies, although he may occasionally reveal some secrets or even make people grit their teeth in anger, but everything he says comes true.

The tense situation at the gate of Iwagakure Village instantly eased, but many people could not hide their disappointment that Uchiha Sora had managed to escape.

The village of Iwagakure has lost face, and this cannot be covered up; it's only a matter of time before it's exposed.

Uchiha Sora walked through the chaotic streets like a normal person.

The ground was littered with ruins and flying blood and flesh. Uchiha Kuzou transformed into a villager and wandered aimlessly through the streets before hiding in a small restaurant to have lunch.

From the moment Uchiha Sora was exposed to the moment he rushed to the gate, including the time spent fighting with the Iwa ninja, it was only a short twenty minutes.

The sun is now high in the sky.

Order was quickly restored at the gate of Iwagakure Village, allowing people to enter and exit, but the checks became more stringent.

Meanwhile, birds took flight over Iwagakure, heading off to various places to deliver important intelligence.

Even if Iwagakure knew about this, there was nothing they could do to stop it. Nobody knew which bird was a wild animal and which one was specifically kept to transmit intelligence.

The Land of Earth and the Land of Birds are adjacent, and flocks of birds often pass through Iwagakure (Hidden Rock Village).

After dinner, we rested for a while.

The people of Iwagakure Village walked hurriedly down the street, their faces etched with sadness, and their moods were not good.

The casualties in this incident were not significant, as Uchiha Sora mostly used smoke bombs mixed with a small amount of poison gas.

Only a few smoke grenades were used to detonate the feces, and village workers were constantly cleaning up the feces scattered in various corners of the streets.

Poison gas can affect both civilians and ninjas; anyone hit by it will lose control.

Many areas were dyed a golden yellow, emitting a nauseating smell.

Even when walking on the street, you can still occasionally smell a foul odor.

Uchiha Sora wandered aimlessly around Iwagakure for two hours, using the system space to search for all the information about a traveling merchant.

Order had long been restored at the gate, with only the bloodstains around the perimeter telling the story of a battle that had taken place there.

Uchiha Sora finally breathed a sigh of relief after leaving Iwagakure.

I acted impulsively this time, and the plan was full of flaws. If it weren't for the narration and the system shop, I would have succeeded.

He died on the spot during the very first round after breaking out of the Doi family compound. However, this Jonin mission is finally complete, and passing the written exam is only a matter of time.

Through this operation, Sora also saw his own shortcomings and the strength of the ninja village.

It's only because Iwagakure's reaction speed is slow, and many of their strong members are out on missions. Otherwise, if a few strong members came and surrounded them at close range, they could have easily captured them.

After I get back, I'll thoroughly study Sage Mode; there's only one or two steps left.

The separation and absorption of Yin Release chakra must be completed as soon as possible. If he had the Mangekyou Sharingan, today would be a completely different story.

Doi's mother was just an ordinary person, and even though he possessed the Three Tomoe Jewel, he could still be manipulated using illusion magic.

Even now, Kong still doesn't understand how he was exposed.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast a long shadow of Uchiha Sora.

No one would pay attention to an inconspicuous traveling merchant.

Night fell quickly, and Ku transformed into his normal form, running wildly across the Land of Earth like a dark shadow.

The system space locks onto the entire body, allowing a clear view of everything around.

As dawn broke, Uchiha Sora found a cave to hide in.

Reconnaissance eagles flew overhead, while patrol teams from Iwagakure (Hidden Rock Village) moved about on the ground.

Although Uchiha Sora escaped from Iwagakure, Onoki did not relax his search in the Land of Earth.

If they can find any trace of Ku, Onoki wouldn't mind leaving Uchiha Ku in the Land of Earth.

Kong leaned against the innermost part of the cave to rest, while an early warning array was set up outside.

The wounds on my body have almost healed after a day.

Konoha Village, Hokage's office.

Tsunade was pleased to see the intelligence that had just been delivered.

I received the news of Akutagawa's murder yesterday. I was happy for Sora, but also worried about his safety.

Unexpectedly, just one day later, I received news that Uchiha Sora had been exposed in the village and had directly attacked his way out of Iwagakure.

Tsunade knew that from this day forward, Uchiha Sora would become famous throughout the ninja world.

He assassinated a Jonin in the Great Ninja Village, and after being exposed, he fought his way out of the encirclement and pursuit of all the village's ninjas.

Such a thing used to exist only in people's imaginations. Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, who suppressed the ninja world for sixty years, could do it, but no one can do it now.

Even the Third Raikage was worn down by the sheer number of people in Iwagakure.

No matter what methods Uchiha Sora uses, as long as he can return to Konoha alive, he will probably immediately become an idol for countless Konoha ninjas.

A knock sounded on the door, and then Kakashi's head poked its head through the crack.

"What is it, Kakashi?"

Kakashi pushed open the door and walked in: "Lady Tsunade, do you have any news? I wonder how he is now. I didn't expect him to go directly into Iwagakure to kill Akutagawa."

I thought he would wait until Akutagawa left the village before making his move.

Kakashi had lived for less than thirty years and had never done anything so crazy. He knew just how powerful a major ninja village could be when it unleashed its full power.

Tsunade handed over the information.

"I can hardly believe that Kong has escaped safely from Iwagakure."

Kakashi, your student is far more reckless than you. Even I didn't expect him to choose to force his way in.

Kakashi carefully examined the intelligence, somewhat incredulous, but finally felt relieved.

"Thank you for the information, Lady Tsunade. I'll be going now."

Tsunade smiled and said, "Since you're here, I happen to have a task for you to complete."

[We finally managed to capture a able-bodied man, how could we let him go so easily? Tsunade was just worried about not being able to find someone to carry out the mission.]

Kakashi was speechless, unsure what to say.

"There has been some unrest on the border of the Land of Grass, and I need you to go there. In recent years, the Land of Grass has been wavering between Konoha and Iwagakure."

This time, they were the first to request help from Konoha; we must go no matter what.

[This is Akatsuki's attempt to sow discord, hoping to incite conflict between Konoha and Iwagakure. Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki deliberately created trouble at the border.]

Kakashi and Tsunade exchanged a glance, surprised that the mission had been solved so soon after it was announced.

Both of them frowned simultaneously.

"We still don't have enough information about the Akatsuki. They've already exposed quite a few of their members. This organization has a lot of ambitions; they even want to start a ninja world war," Tsunade said, frowning.

"Kakashi, go and inform Shizune to send an official letter to the Land of Grass and explain the situation."

Chapter 280 Hero of the Village

[The Akatsuki organization dares to cause trouble in secret. Tsunade plans to thoroughly investigate the Akatsuki organization and find a way to teach them a lesson.]

Kakashi asked, "Hokage-sama, do we still need to go to the Land of Grass?"

Tsunade shook her head seriously: "Let's postpone it for now. Neither Itachi nor Kisame Hoshigaki are simple characters. The village is busy right now, so it's not the time to deal with them."

Tsunade knew that killing Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki would require gathering a large number of Konoha's elite ninjas, and she couldn't currently muster that many.

[There's another point Tsunade might not know: Itachi Uchiha had an agreement with the Third Hokage. Back then, the Uchiha clan and the Konoha leadership were bitter enemies, and Itachi's massacre of his clan members was done on orders from the higher-ups. Itachi's two younger brothers were included in the agreement.]

Now that the Third Hokage is dead, with no one to corroborate the story, Itachi Uchiha has become a true wandering ghost.

The narrator's words made the Hokage's office so quiet you could hear a pin drop; Tsunade and Kakashi were utterly shocked.

Kakashi had known Itachi Uchiha in the Anbu and had even been Itachi's captain. He knew Itachi was an extremely calm child, but he never expected him to have such a secret.

"Lady Tsunade, according to the narrator, Itachi staying in Akatsuki might also be on the Third Hokage's orders."

The fact that Itachi and Kisame entered Konoha to capture Naruto after the death of the Third Hokage was probably just a pretext; their real purpose was to demonstrate their power to the higher-ups.

He was actually secretly protecting Sasuke and Sora, but things didn't go as we expected.

Sasuke sees Itachi as the enemy who wiped out his clan, and his heart is filled with hatred. Sora used to be so insignificant, but now he has risen rapidly.

It seems that Sora had already guessed something, which is why his behavior differed from Sasuke's.

Kakashi is right, Sora did guess that Itachi might have been forced into this situation, but he didn't stop Sasuke from seeking revenge.

Regardless of the circumstances, it was indeed Itachi Uchiha who killed him; only death can bring redemption to Itachi's soul.

Tsunade and Kakashi remained silent, speechless. They could imagine the immense pressure Itachi had endured over the years.

Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief: "Just pretend you didn't hear this information. I believe Itachi will send back information when the crucial moment comes."

Let's not put pressure on him. Every member of Akatsuki is strong; if he's exposed, his life might be in danger.

[Tsunade is overthinking it. The Akatsuki organization is essentially a group of S-rank rogue ninja, each with their own agenda, who only came together for various reasons.]
