Narration system starting from Konoha

The once flat, plaza-like open space just inside the gate is now overgrown with weeds, and the paving stones have become dilapidated over the years.

Uchiha Sora strode inside; the entire Uchiha clan compound resembled a neat village.

It is divided into residential and commercial areas. Upon entering the gate, there is a commercial area with various dilapidated signs still hanging there, some of which have black spots on them.

This is the color formed by the sedimentation of blood over time.

Chapter 138 Lies

The narration system starting from Konoha

Sora stopped in front of a shop, an izakaya (Japanese pub) within the clan's territory, which used to be the liveliest place.

The place is now dilapidated, with tables and chairs crooked and broken, and dried blood splattered on the floor.

Every time I enter the Uchiha clan's territory, my impression of Itachi Uchiha deteriorates.

Leaving the izakaya and walking down the street, the empty and dilapidated houses felt like entering a ghost town, exuding a sinister atmosphere even in broad daylight.

"Shh."

A figure appeared in front of Uchiha Sora; it was an Anbu ninja.

"The Uchiha clan territory has been sealed off. Unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering. Go back to where you came from." A cold, emotionless voice rang out.

Kong frowned. "There are some lingering vengeful spirits in the Anbu."

"I'm going back to my home to pay respects to my parents and clan. If anyone refuses me entry, let them tell me themselves. I am now the Uchiha clan leader personally appointed by Lady Tsunade."

The ANBU nodded, turned around, and disappeared from the spot.

Sora was a little confused. Was the Anbu just there to make up the numbers?

Kong searched the system space and found five ANBU members lying in ambush in different corners of the entire Uchiha clan territory.

It always moves along with its own movement.

Kong speculated that they wanted to see if there were any undiscovered secret rooms or other places in the Uchiha clan's territory.

When the Uchiha clan was massacred, the Root and Anbu would definitely have searched the Uchiha clan's territory.

Whether there's a chance or not, it's worth a shot. Unexpectedly, the secret service's idea coincided with his own. He came to the clan's territory to see if there were still anything in the old family secret room.

Sora has hidden a large number of clan ninjutsu techniques and various data scrolls at the Naga Shrine.

There are many things he can't access, such as the Sharingan or top-secret information on Yin-Yang Release.

However, since the Anbu were lying in ambush here, Uchiha Sora cancelled all his plans and simply paid his respects.

Now that one of Konoha's Four Heavenly Kings is dead, perhaps we can gather some information to fool the remaining three Heavenly Kings.

Black Zetsu almost brought the entire ninja world to ruin by simply altering an Uchiha stone tablet. He has time to plan ahead.

We quickly passed through the commercial area and entered the residential area.

Uchiha Sora's former residence was a mansion specially provided for the clan head.

It covers a huge area and is equipped with a dedicated training ground and courtyard, where even small-scale sparring between ninjas can take place.

Prying open the lock on the gate and stepping into the courtyard, I immediately felt as if I had entered another world.

Nothing had changed since he left, except that the sliding doors of the house were dilapidated and needed to be replaced.

The ground was covered with weeds, the clean walls looked mottled, the paint was peeling off, and the wood was gradually getting moldy.

The once magnificent mansion of the Uchiha clan patriarch has become quite dilapidated over the years.

Kong placed all the white flowers at the doorway. On the screen in the system space, he continuously searched the interior of the Uchiha clan's territory and quickly found the secret room in the house. However, the things inside were arranged in a mess, indicating that it had already been ransacked.

Several hidden compartments were also found in what used to be Fugaku Uchiha's bedroom, but they were empty. It is unknown whether nothing was ever stored there or if the Root organization had already taken them away.

With the Hyuga clan in Konoha, there's no truly hidden place that can escape the Byakugan's ability to see through.

"Father, Mother, I'm sorry for coming to see you so late. Mitokado Homura and Koharu, those two shameless people, tried to frame me for colluding with Orochimaru."

Back when my Uchiha clan was at its peak, the Mito and Utatane clans weren't even worthy of carrying our shoes; they were too insignificant to be considered respectable.

"If you're bored in the Pure Land, come up here and wander around. If you have time, send a dream to the two advisors. It would be best if you could bring them down, so they don't bother me all day."

I opened the system panel and bought two Nightmare Invasion cards. I'll arrange some for the two consultants today.

The five hidden ANBU members quietly memorized everything Uchiha Sora said.

Sora turned and walked outside, appearing at the gate with a few leaps, locking it again, and disappearing into the streets of Konoha.

In the bedroom, Uchiha Sora was quietly thinking, with a slightly worn scroll on the table in front of him.

Various legends circulate in the ninja world, such as the goddess Uzuki, or the Sage of Six Paths' ancient battles with monsters.

It's difficult for the minds of people in the ninja world to connect these remaining legends. Even someone as powerful as Madara Uchiha, and Orochimaru, who always aimed to uncover the truth of the ninja world, never thought of delving into these various legends.

Occasionally, some clues would emerge, but they were all dismissed as legends, or as exaggerated claims by ancient humans.

Black Zetsu could set up the Uchiha Stone Tablet, and Uchiha Sora could also fabricate some fragments to confuse the public and continuously harvest the emotional value of the ninja world.

After pondering for a long time, he began to write furiously on the scroll, and all sorts of seemingly plausible but actually nonsensical content appeared on the paper.

Not only are there words, but also these symbols, if someone can thoroughly study the contents of the scroll.

It can obtain a formula for absorbing chakra that he previously researched.

Although it wasn't quite "to become one with me," it still took a lot of effort from him.

To destroy them in advance, first make them go mad. If even one of the three great kings of Konoha falls for the trap, all his efforts will not have been in vain.

These three people now spend most of their time in the village. If they want to absorb chakra, they either have to go out and find enemies, or they can only target the villagers themselves.

With a way to quickly become stronger, why bother with arduous training? Danzo himself was quite cunning, and Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were both old and frail, unable to do what they were supposed to do.

This technique formula was practically tailor-made for them; as long as they were unwilling to slowly grow old, it was only a matter of time before they fell for it.

Hidden within the spell formula is a very subtle trap, which is countered by the spell "Become One with Me".

To hide the scroll and trick the higher-ups of Mu Yi, they still need to find a suitable opportunity.

This scroll was just a stepping stone; in his mind, a series of plans had already been formulated.

Some experimental conjectures about Yin-Yang Release could also be disguised as scrolls and submitted to the Konoha leadership.

The fusion of Yin-Yang Release and chakra absorption techniques would be a huge cheat code in the ninja world.

Uchiha Sora was unable to conduct human experiments, which was insignificant to someone like Danzo.

Few can resist such temptation, and hopefully the Konoha leadership won't let him down.

Life in Konoha was excessively peaceful. For two consecutive days, Sora spent his time either eating out or doing research at home, while also aging the scrolls.

Exposed to wind, sun, and rain, the already worn scroll became tattered and the writing inside began to yellow.

"Knock knock." A knocking sound rang out in the quiet living room.

Uchiha Sora shook his groggy head, got up, and opened the door.

"Kakashi-sensei, what brings you here?" Sora asked, somewhat surprised.

"If I hadn't come, Team 7 would probably have fallen apart. How long do you plan to stay at home? You haven't carried out a single mission since you came back from chasing Sasuke."

Lady Tsunade specifically asked me to take you on this mission. You are now a Chunin of Konoha, not a Genin as before, so you need your teacher to take you on missions every day.

Now you should learn to accept missions yourself and lead Sakura and Naruto to carry them out.

Kakashi had never felt so exhilarated; he could finally openly lecture Uchiha Sora.

Chapter 139 How can one understand light without experiencing darkness?

[Ku smiled, too lazy to argue with Kakashi-sensei. He's a Chunin now, after all; it would be too embarrassing to stoop to the level of a Jonin.]

Kakashi's good mood vanished instantly. Having spent more than half a year with his student, he knew him all too well.

There's a saying that a leopard can't change its spots, and Uchiha Sora will never change his habit of scheming. Even if he temporarily changes it, it's just for the sake of scheming more in the future.

Uchiha Sora pursed his lips, somewhat helplessly; the team was becoming increasingly difficult to lead.

"Kakashi-sensei, what is the mission this time?"

"The situation is quite urgent, so we'll talk as we walk."

[Uchiha Sora was speechless. He knew the situation was urgent, yet he was wasting his breath talking to him. Was his title of "senior Jonin" just something he made up?]

Kakashi glared at Sora with annoyance and said, "I'll give you five minutes to prepare. Meet at the Konoha gate in five minutes."

He turned and disappeared through the door.

Sora hung two ninja tool pouches on his lower back. One pouch was full of smoke bombs, and the other contained various ninja tools, blank scrolls, paper, pens, wire, and other small items.

He put on his Chunin vest, cleaned the entire bedroom, and prepared enough food for the lab rats for a week before heading out.

A moment later, the two met at the gates of Konoha.

Kong glanced around and saw no one else. It was unusual for the two of them to be carrying out missions. In Konoha, missions were either completed by a single strong individual or by a small team.

"This mission is quite urgent, to support Jiraiya-senpai and Naruto and Sakura who are heading to the Land of Rice Fields."

"How is that possible? Orochimaru's hands were sealed by the Third Hokage. Even if he hadn't escaped, Jiraiya-senpai's strength would have made dealing with him a piece of cake."

Uchiha Sora felt he had been proven wrong; he had predicted that Orochimaru had already escaped Otogakure.

Kakashi shook his head and said, "You guessed right, Orochimaru is indeed not in Otogakure, but he has other strongholds in the Land of Rice Fields."

This time, it wasn't just Orochimaru; Jiraiya also encountered Akatsuki members lying in ambush outside Otogakure.

The three forces are now locked in a stalemate: Naruto wants to get Sasuke back from Orochimaru, while the Akatsuki wants to kill Orochimaru and capture Naruto.

Kakashi is exaggerating. With Jiraiya's strength, taking the two away from the Land of Rice Fields would be a piece of cake. It's only because Naruto and Sakura finally found hope of bringing Sasuke back that they stayed in the Land of Rice Fields.

Kong sighed helplessly, "Sigh, I'm really ashamed. The two of them are more responsible and persistent than I am as their younger brother."

Kakashi nodded. He could tell that Uchiha Sora was more open-minded about Sasuke's situation, unlike Naruto and Sakura, who seemed to be stuck in a rut.

Kongdao said, "It's not that I'm open-minded, it's just that I understand. Sasuke's heart is full of hatred. If he continues to stay in Konoha, the hatred will only accumulate more and more, and he will only feel that he is useless."
