"but……"
As soon as the conversation changed, Uchiha Izumi suddenly condensed a huge Susanoo around his body, and slashed at the room where Uchiha Itachi was. After this slash, the place where Uchiha Itachi was was completely turned into ruins, and Uchiha Itachi was naturally shattered to pieces under this blow.
"Sister Izumi, you?"
Looking at Sasuke's surprised eyes, Uchiha Izumi said firmly:
"Sasuke, don't forget. Not only did your parents die at his hands, my mother also died at his hands. You can let him live because he is your brother. But as my mother's child, I will never let him live like this. So today, Uchiha Itachi must die. If you don't want to kill him, then I will do it!"
Hearing Uchiha Izumi's words, Sasuke felt annoyed at first, but then turned it into a sigh.
"Okay, that's it!"
Sasuke said this, and his expression did not seem to be sad at all. But Uchiha Izumi saw clearly that his eyes had evolved from the original three magatama to a mangekyo!
"After I go back this time, I will help you solve the problem of blindness of the Mangekyō Sharingan." Uchiha Izumi said:
"Now, let's go check out the situation of the Konoha Civil War! I hope your classmates don't die at the hands of their own ninjas."
Chapter 99 Naruto’s Growth
It turns out that Konoha's elite minority is still quite capable.
During the time when Uchiha Izumi and Sasuke were away, even facing an absolute disadvantage in numbers, they still held their ground tightly and fought on equal terms with most of Konoha's civilian ninjas, and even had the upper hand.
Although he had the upper hand on the scene, the pain in his heart was unforgettable.
They were just comrades from the same ninja village, but now they were fighting for survival. Every swing of a kunai and explosion of a detonating tag took away the lives of former companions. All the Konoha ninjas present felt like they were in hell. No one wanted to fight like this again, but everyone's moves were getting more and more ruthless.
"As a ninja of Konoha, you attacked your own companions. Have you forgotten the will of fire?" someone from the elite minority said angrily.
"Bullshit, you sons of the Hokage, the elites of the big families, the owners of bloodline limits, when have you ever considered us commoners as your companions?" said the crowd of civilian ninjas.
"It is because you civilian ninjas are dishonest that Konoha is in this state. Why are you unwilling to sacrifice yourself for Konoha?" said the extremists among the elite ninjas.
"It is because of the arrogance of you few elites that Konoha is destroyed! If there really has to be sacrifices, why don't you die!" The extremists among the majority of civilian ninjas said the same thing.
The cracks that already existed continued to widen in the bloody slaughter, and gradually the two sides no longer regarded each other as companions, but as sworn enemies. Death and blood filled the leaves at this time, and this once thriving tree finally came to an end because of this civil war.
Standing in the middle of this conflict, Uzumaki Naruto covered his ears in despair, closed his eyes, and muttered in a frenzy:
“Stop fighting, everyone, stop fighting! Please, please…”
Although Uzumaki Naruto had lost his former strength, he still survived the bloody civil war with the protection of his companions. Although his body was not hurt, the mental shock almost made him collapse. Uzumaki Naruto never dreamed that he, who wanted to become Hokage, would watch Konoha go to destruction.
The most ironic thing is that he and his companions are the minority in Konoha.
In other words, the one who truly destroyed Konoha was the one he was with.
The man who wanted to become Hokage ended up being the one who destroyed Konoha.
The twist of fate has caused Uzumaki Naruto to be on the verge of collapse.
And at this critical moment, seeing Naruto in such pain, Hyuga Hinata, who had been guarding Uzumaki Naruto, suddenly made up her mind and waved her right hand angrily.
Snapped!
The crisp sound of the slap, although inaudible on the battlefield, truly touched Uzumaki Naruto's heart.
"Hinata, you?"
"Naruto-kun, what are you doing?"
"I?"
"Naruto-kun, open your eyes and look. Everyone is fighting desperately! How can you just stand there and not move forward at this time!"
"But, right now, I don't have any..."
"Having lost most of his chakra, the Nine-Tails, and the power of the Six Paths Sage, does that mean Naruto-kun is no longer a ninja?" Hinata said dissatisfiedly:
"When I met Naruto-kun, you didn't have these things either, didn't you? At that time, your grades were not good, your ninjutsu was not good, your taijutsu was terrible, even worse than now, you were a complete loser. But even so, you never gave up your dream of becoming a Hokage!"
"The Naruto-kun I know is someone who can stand up again no matter what kind of blow he suffers, and can smile confidently no matter what kind of failure he experiences. Even though he does have many shortcomings, doesn't like studying, and doesn't listen to his teachers, he is definitely not a loser like you are now, who can be easily knocked down!"
"Hinata..."
"That's right, Hinata!"
Kakashi on the side also echoed:
"Naruto, I admit that this battle is cruel, but no matter how cruel it is, we must endure the pain and survive. Because only by surviving can we continue Konoha's Will of Fire!"
"Stand up, Naruto, have you forgotten your dream of being a Hokage?"
The encouragement from his companions inspired Uzumaki Naruto, allowing him to gradually stand up and begin to face the cruel reality. However, his strength has declined too much now, and even with the Shadow Clone Technique, he can't create several clones. So he can only rely on physical skills to assist his companions. Even so, after three years of training by Jiraiya, Uzumaki Naruto is still stronger than those civilian ninjas.
So soon after the battle, Uzumaki Naruto's hands were stained with the blood of his fellow villagers.
Seeing a ninja with the same forehead protector as himself die like this, the heart-wrenching feeling made Uzumaki Naruto tremble involuntarily. But seeing that other companions were still fighting, Naruto could only force himself to be strong and continue to massacre his fellow villagers.
Finally, it was evening.
The Konoha Ninja Village, which originally had a population of 200,000, now has less than 100,000 people left.
Because of the huge sacrifices, both sides of the civil war had to choose a temporary truce. At this time, Uchiha Izumi came to the camp of the elite minority. Regardless of the hateful eyes of the surrounding Konoha elites, she took Sasuke and went straight to find Naruto and others.
"Are you ready to leave Konoha with me?"
In response to Uchiha Izumi's invitation, Uzumaki Naruto said firmly:
"I'm never leaving here."
"Whether I am killed by my comrades or I kill my comrades, I am still Uzumaki Naruto of Konohagakure. I will persist in living and continue to become stronger. Sooner or later, I will rebuild Konohagakure and become a true Hokage!"
Compared to the past, Naruto has been completely transformed. It seems that the cruel blow has educated him, and he is no longer the protected child. Now he is a real ninja!
Like Uzumaki Naruto, the other twelve chose to stay in Konoha Village. No matter what the outcome was, they chose to face it as Konoha ninjas. Feeling the will of these people, Uchiha Izumi could only spread his hands and said:
"Well, since you have made your choice, I respect your decision."
"But there is one thing I want to ask you, where is Haruno Sakura?"
After saying this, Kakashi, who was already the leader of the elite minority, said:
"Sakura had a big fight with Naruto because she insisted on the space program, so she stayed on Titan to reinforce the barrier. The Fifth Hokage was also there, organizing ninjas to conduct experiments in crop planting. Now it seems that her original choice was the right one. If we had fully implemented the space program from the beginning, this war might not have happened."
After hearing Kakashi's explanation, Uchiha Izumi said thoughtfully:
"That means Haruno Sakura is not in Konoha Village, and Tsunade is not here either... Then you have a lot of people on Titan! Even Haruno Sakura's parents are on Titan, right?"
"The barrier of Titan is extremely complex, and ninjas are needed to constantly decompose water to create oxygen. It takes a lot of manpower just to maintain it. So even if the space program is stopped, there are still thousands of ninjas maintained within the barrier of Titan. Also, you asked what Sakura Haruno's parents do? They did stay on Titan because of Sakura Haruno's relationship. Is there any problem with that?" Kakashi asked puzzledly.
"No, I just want to ask one thing. How long has it been since you contacted Titan?"
"Two or three days? What's the matter?"
"Such a big thing happened in Konoha, didn't you think of contacting your Fifth Hokage?"
"We have already informed Titan of this matter using space ninjutsu, but it is outer space after all, so there is no response from there yet." Hearing this, Kakashi suddenly realized something.
"Wait, is there something wrong with Titan?"
"Maybe..." Uchiha Izumi said, looking at the direction of Saturn in the sky, and sighed:
"Maybe you will never be able to contact Titan!"
Chapter 100 The cruel truth
"What do you mean? Did something unexpected happen in the universe?"
Hearing that Titan might have lost contact, Uzumaki Naruto asked hurriedly.
Obviously, at this time Naruto Uzumaki has not realized the seriousness of the matter and is still worried about everyone on Titan. After all, Sakura Haruno is the girl that Naruto Uzumaki has always liked.
"Accident?" Uchiha Izumi chuckled:
"There are thousands of ninjas gathered on Titan, including outstanding talents like Haruno Sakura and Tsunade. How could an accident happen so easily? From what I see, it is clear that the ninjas on Titan took the initiative to cut off the connection with the Earth. You ninjas who stayed in Konoha have been abandoned by them!"
what?
Most of the Konoha ninjas present did not dare to believe Uchiha Izumi's judgment.
On the one hand, they trusted Haruno Sakura and Tsunade and didn't think they would abandon their fellow Konoha members. On the other hand, for them who were on the verge of despair, the alien base on Titan was Konoha's last hope. If even they chose to betray, then the Konoha Ninja Village would truly be destroyed.
So when Uchiha Izumi expressed his judgment, Uzumaki Naruto immediately shouted:
"Are you kidding me? Sakura and Granny Tsunade are not the type to abandon their friends. What do you think of Konoha ninjas?"
"Mad men who slaughter each other! What else?"
Uchiha Izumi said, looking at the camp where most civilian ninjas gathered in the distance. What he meant was, aren't you fighting fiercely among your own people in Konoha? Isn't it natural to abandon your partners?
"you?"
Obviously, without the help of his mouth-to-mouth skills, Uzumaki Naruto is no match for Uchiha Izumi in verbal battles. However, out of trust in Haruno Sakura, he still said:
"In short, Sakura is definitely not the person you think she is, and Granny Tsunade is a Hokage who cares only about Konoha. The bond between us is not something that people like you can understand!"
"Bonds?" Hearing this word, Uchiha Izumi laughed disdainfully and said:
"Hey, kid, do you really understand Haruno Sakura?"
"Isn't this natural? Sakura and I have been classmates since childhood, how could I not know her?" Uzumaki Naruto said as a matter of course.
"Are you sure?" Uchiha Izumi spread his hands and said:
"Is it possible that you don't know Haruno Sakura at all? Or, is it possible that you don't know the woman named Haruno Sakura at all?"
"How is that possible? Don't try to sow discord between us and Sakura!" Uzumaki Naruto said righteously.
Not only him, the other Twelve Ninjas also spoke up for Uzumaki Naruto and expressed their belief in Haruno Sakura.
In response, Uchiha Izumi shrugged and said:
"Well, since you trust her so much, I should tell you the truth. Anyway, there is no need to hide it now that things have come to this point."
"What do you mean? What truth?" Uzumaki Naruto asked puzzled.
"I think you should know that three years ago, I lurked in the Konoha Ninja Village and collected the remains of the Uchiha clan civilians under the identity of Mizuki to use as tools for the Impure World Reincarnation. At the same time, I also served as your teacher for half a year. But do you know what else I did besides collecting remains?"
Uzumaki Naruto shook his head, and the other Konoha ninjas also concentrated at this time because they found that the truth of the matter was far from as simple as they had imagined.
"In fact, the reason why I lurked in Konoha was not to collect the remains of the Impure World Reincarnation, but to cooperate with one of Orochimaru's subordinates. The name of that subordinate is Kabuto Yakushi, and he was a ninja from the Root under Danzo. He learned a special forbidden technique from Orochimaru, called the Reincarnation of the Dead."
"This is a ninjutsu that can take over another person's body and devour their soul. Orochimaru used this ninjutsu to have a nearly immortal life, and Kabuto Yakushi was also planning to use this forbidden technique to infiltrate the upper echelons of Konoha. So he found me and asked me to disguise myself as Mizuki, a teacher at the ninja school, and steal Uzumaki Naruto's graduation class information as a teacher."
"Because according to Konoha's tradition, those who can be assigned to the same class as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki must be the future high-ranking officials of Konoha. So he hopes to obtain this important information in advance, and then use the Reincarnation Technique to seize the body of Uzumaki Naruto, so that he can become a classmate of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and then infiltrate the core layer of Konoha in the future."
After hearing what Uchiha Izumi said, even Uzumaki Naruto reacted.
"No way? You mean, that classmate whose body was taken over by Kabuto Yakushi, right?"
"It's Haruno Sakura!" Uchiha Izumi said:
"Just a few days before your class was about to graduate, Haruno Sakura was resurrected by Kabuto Yakushi. From then on, she was no longer your former companion, but a spy sent by Orochimaru to Konoha Village. Her goal was to seize the supreme power of Konoha in the future and destroy Konoha as a high-ranking official!"
At this point, Uzumaki Naruto still couldn't believe it, but the others present realized that what Uchiha Izumi said must be the truth. For example, Sasuke secretly said:
I was wondering how Sakura suddenly became so powerful during the graduation exam. So that's how it is!
Kakashi also thought:
Sakura's previous performance was so impressive that we only thought she was gifted. Now it seems that she had been planning to become a high-ranking official in Konoha three years ago. Damn it, if we had discovered Sakura's abnormality earlier, Konoha would not have...
"Impossible. Absolutely impossible."
Uzumaki Naruto roared:
"Sakura is our partner, not some undercover agent of Orochimaru! Besides, even if her body was taken over by that Kabuto Yakushi, she once fought alongside us! Isn't the bond of our Team 7 and the trust that everyone in Konoha has in her enough to change her?"
"Isn't this natural?" Uchiha Izumi explained:
"Do you know what Kabuto Yakushi experienced in Konoha? Do you know what kind of irreconcilable hatred there is between him and Konoha? How can your so-called bond and trust change the hatred in his heart! If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself. I think there should be information about Kabuto Yakushi in the files of the Root."
"Go and see how Shimura Danzo, the former high-ranking official of Konoha, forced Kabuto Yakushi to leave the orphanage and become a spy for Konoha? How did he arrange dangerous missions for him? Do you think all orphans in Konoha are like you, Uzumaki Naruto, who can cause trouble everywhere without worrying about being punished?"
"Let me tell you, when Kabuto Yakushi was your age and still studying at the Ninja School, he was already forced by Konoha to perform various dangerous missions and made countless contributions to Konoha. But such a ninja who made great contributions to Konoha was feared by the Konoha high-ranking officials because he was too outstanding. As a result, the Konoha high-ranking officials actually arranged for his adoptive mother to assassinate him!"
At this point, even Uchiha Izumi's words showed sympathy for Kabuto Yakushi:
