When Kakashi Hatake returned to the village, he saw the Uchiha clan's residence in ruins.

Standing in front of the ruins like a sculpture, Kakashi was silent for a long time.

Before the night of the Uchiha genocide, Kakashi, Gai, and other ninjas from the Sarutobi Hiruzen family were sent out on missions and happened to be away from the village.

In fact, this is not the first time. Whenever Danzo makes any big move, Kakashi cannot be in the village.

Under the slanted forehead protector, Kakashi clearly felt the presence of the Sharingan.

Uchiha Obito has passed away long ago, and now, the Uchiha clan has also been destroyed. Kakashi feels very complicated.

Under Danzo's increasingly high-pressure and strong control, there is growing dissatisfaction brewing within the Konoha Ninja Village, which will explode sooner or later.

Come to think of it, Akai took on the mission as if he was crazy. He didn't want to stay in the village for a moment. With Akai's character, he couldn't stay in the village for too long where even the air was full of oppression.

"Kakashi, get out of here and don't stay too long."

The root ninja who cleared the ruins waved Kakashi away.

"Copy that." Kakashi looked lazy and raised his hand to indicate, "Stay here for a while."

Kakashi dislikes the current Konoha Ninja Village very much, but he can't think of a good solution at the moment.

Rebellion? No, you can't do it recklessly. You can do it recklessly, but you must have enough strength. After all, the powerful Uchiha clan was destroyed in the blink of an eye.

If you are in a bad mood, you will not even be able to eat.

There are many delicacies in Konoha Village, such as the bowl of Ichiraku Ramen in front of Kakashi. Facing the delicious ramen, Kakashi did not move.

Naruto didn't come today, so Kakashi ordered it for Naruto.

"Kakashi, you are alone in a daze."

"Shikaku, it's you." Kakashi's dead eyes rolled up and he glanced at Shikaku as a greeting.

"First the Sarutobi clan was suppressed, and then the Uchiha clan. Which clan will be next?" Kakashi rubbed the corners of his eyes tiredly.

"Kakashi, the problems we encounter are nothing compared to those encountered by our ancestors. It will get better."

"Whether we choose to make changes or let those who come after us make the choice, the future will be bright."

"The leaves that block the sun will provide shelter. Those covered by the roots will only remain darkness."

"And we cannot be in darkness forever."

It seems that Shikaku didn't tell Kakashi any useful information when he came here, but Kakashi understood Shikaku's attitude.

In the current situation, Nara Shikaku is also unable to do what he wants.

Shikaku recommended himself to be Danzo's dog-headed strategist. If it weren't for Shikaku, the Sarutobi clan would not have been simply suppressed, but would have been exterminated.

The rebellion of the Uchiha clan may have been Danzo's excuse, but the rebellion of the Sarutobi clan was a real rebellion.

Kakashi also placed his hope on Jiraiya or Tsunade, but when he thought of Orochimaru who was colluding with Danzo, Kakashi felt powerless.

In his career as a ninja, which is neither long nor short, Kakashi has never been so confused as he is now.

"Ichiraku, I'm leaving. This ramen..."

"Understood, leave it to Naruto brat."

Ichiraku walked out of the kitchen and opened the door curtain, "Watch your food, Kakashi, go on!"

Ichiraku threw a simple bento to Kakashi from a distance, and Kakashi thanked him.

The ruins of the Uchiha clan were gradually being cleared away. For several days, a kid wearing yellow clothes and yellow hair squatted aside like a puppy, watching the people coming and looking for things.

Beside him, there were three little ghosts squatting in the same posture as him.

"Brother Naruto, how long do we have to wait here?" Konohamaru complained, "I'm hungry!"

Menghuang and Udon also echoed.

Sasuke's family was gone, and little Naruto had a premonition that Sasuke would never come back.

Another friend was gone. Naruto felt extremely disappointed.

The difference from the original work is that in the original work, Naruto only met Sasuke, the orphan of the Uchiha clan, after the Uchiha clan was destroyed.

In this plane that was disturbed by Uehara, Itachi respected Namikaze Minato very much, so he also liked Naruto. Naruto had no friends, so Itachi intended for Sasuke to take the initiative to contact Naruto.

Because he was still young, Sasuke did not develop an arrogant and bad temper. On the contrary, Sasuke liked Naruto who would treat him to grilled fish whenever they met.

For Naruto, Sasuke is also one of the few peers who shows kindness to him.

Everyone who is kind to Naruto is regarded as a cherished friend by Naruto.

Naruto didn't know what Konoha was like before. He thought Konoha had always been like this. He didn't understand why Sasuke's home was destroyed by people in the village. Aren't we all companions?

No one gave Naruto an answer, and the doubts lingered in Naruto's mind for a long time.

Naruto began to have doubts about the village, especially Danzo.

Naruto doesn't like Danzo.

In Naruto's simple world, he still doesn't know what hatred is.

"Sasuke," Itachi, who was concentrating on roasting the hare, suddenly stopped flipping the hare. Itachi glanced at Sasuke carefully, who was looking at the hare intently, "Dad is dead." Itachi said in as calm a tone as possible.

Tell the truth.

"I guessed it a long time ago. I guessed it when my brother came back."

Sasuke was calmer than Itachi expected.

"Are you... feeling sad or something? No one is chasing us anymore. If you want to cry..."

"I don't want to cry," Sasuke pursed his lips and shook his head stubbornly, "There's no point in crying."

Itachi's nose is sore, and his brother is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

"It should be fine, Sasuke, you can eat first."

"I want my brother to eat first." Sasuke picked up the roast rabbit and handed it to Itachi sensibly, "My brother needs to recover his strength faster so he can protect me."

This is indeed the truth. Itachi smiled slightly, stroked Sasuke's head, took the roasted hare and wolfed it down. He was very hungry.

"Brother, are you worried about an enemy coming? You haven't rested for a long time." Sasuke took out a kunai and showed off to Itachi, "My shuriken skills are also very powerful. While brother, I will help you to be on guard."

Who is Itachi? Who dares to say that shuriken is great in front of him?

Therefore, when Sasuke wanted to show off his shuriken skills, Itachi frowned and expressed doubt.

"Leave it to me, Sasuke."

"When we were in the village, my father said more than once that he always felt a little uneasy."

"I feel the same way."

"Now that all the disasters have happened and we have escaped from the village, I feel much more at ease."

What has happened to Konoha that makes a Konoha ninja feel safer outside than in the village, which is full of dangers.

After resting, Itachi and Sasuke were ready to hit the road.

"Sasuke, do like me and make a scratch on your forehead protector." Itachi pointed to his forehead protector. A scratch destroyed the Konoha symbol on his forehead protector. This is a sign of rebellion.

Sasuke froze on the spot, scratching his hair in confusion, "But brother, I don't have a forehead protector."

What to do if you don’t have a forehead protector? Of course, you have to grab another one.

When crossing the border of the Land of Fire, Itachi neatly eliminated a group of Konoha ninjas, picked out a forehead protector from a pool of blood, and handed it to Sasuke.

Following Itachi's example, Sasuke also wore a forehead protector with a diagonal scratch on his forehead.

Danzo created two powerful enemies for himself.

Sasuke's fate has also been changed. Wandering with his brother is much better than following that pervert Orochimaru.
