Naruto: I upgraded my bloodline limit using chakra.

Sarcasm, ridicule, and delight.

Some of the higher-ups couldn't help but laugh.

However, Danzo knew that he had made a big mistake this time, and slowly relaxed his tightly clenched fists.

Removing him from his position as the leader of the Root and confining him to his home for three years is the lightest punishment he could receive.

If it were the Hidden Cloud Village, he might have been thrown from his office and killed by the Fourth Raikage, A.

In Kirigakure, you might be captured and fed to sharks...

Hiruzen Sarutobi was furious, but he still spared Danzo's life, after all, it was a bond he had shared life and death with...

Danzo stood up, took a deep breath, and although he was unwilling, he had no choice.

"I agree with the Hokage's decision."

At this moment, Danzo wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

It's so embarrassing.

It almost made him, who was so proud and arrogant, lose his head.

However, as long as he remains in the center of power, he still has a chance to compete for the Hokage position again.

After all, his lifelong dream was to become Hokage.

However, this war with Kumogakure failed to earn him enough political capital, which Danzo considered a failure, and this was also related to his own strength.

Danzo is only suited to plotting in the shadows.

Or they might engage in other intelligence gathering work.

He lacked the ability to lead the ninja army.

The clan leaders smiled faintly at the sight. They had long been dissatisfied with Danzo and were pleased to see the Sarutobi, Shimura, Utatane, and Mitomon clans suffer heavy losses.

They all gloated.

However, everyone here is shrewd, so they just didn't show it on the surface.

At that moment, Fugaku suddenly spoke up.

"Lord Hokage, Uchiha Shisui helped us withstand Killer Bee's attack on the eastern front, indirectly making a huge contribution to the war against Kumogakure. Could you please release him?"

Because Shisui disobeyed Danzo's orders and went to the eastern front without authorization, thus defying military orders, Fugaku pleaded with Hiruzen Sarutobi for leniency.

“I have always been fair in my rewards and punishments. Although Shisui has made contributions, he has also violated military orders. If he is not punished, I am afraid that others will follow suit and it will be difficult to convince the troops. How about this, put him in solitary confinement for ten days, and then write a letter of commitment to guarantee it.”

Shisui was not only an Uchiha.

They are still elite members of Konoha's Anbu.

From his own perspective, Hiruzen Sarutobi was still unwilling to severely punish Shisui, otherwise hurting the feelings of this loyal subordinate would be a huge loss.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama." A faint smile appeared on Fugaku's face.

For Zhishui, this is already considered a relatively lenient punishment.

After all, disobeying military orders is a serious offense.

It was fastened to his body.

They might not even be able to turn things around!

For example, Hatake Sakumo abandoned his mission to save his teammates, was slandered, and ultimately chose to commit suicide to prove his point.

It's such a pity.

The Konoha leadership decided to hold a memorial service the following day to commemorate the ninjas who sacrificed their lives to protect Konoha.

Although the war ended in Konoha's victory, it still came at the cost of hundreds of lives.

Many ninjas with minor and serious injuries are currently receiving treatment at Konoha Hospital.

Some ninjas were even bedridden for their entire lives.

War is ultimately cruel.

However, if Hiruzen Sarutobi had listened to Fugaku and trusted the Uchiha clan more, he might not have given Obito the opportunity to attack the Kumogakure delegation.

The origin of this war.

It was caused by Hiruzen Sarutobi's arrogance.

From the perspective of managing a village, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is indecisive and lacks judgment, is simply not suitable to be the kage of a village.

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, appointed Hiruzen Sarutobi as Hokage solely based on his bravery, which was neither rigorous nor cautious enough.

...

Today is a cloudy and rainy day.

A thick layer of leaden clouds covered the village.

A light drizzle began to fall.

The entire Hidden Leaf Village was shrouded in a somber and melancholic atmosphere.

early morning.

Genye got up very early.

He did not change into his usual training clothes.

Instead, she dressed in all black, carried a few bunches of daisies, and went out the door.

Many ninjas sacrificed themselves to protect the village, and they deserve his respect and remembrance.

Following the street.

They walked towards the Konoha Cemetery outside the Uchiha clan's territory.

As I passed by Fugaku's courtyard, I noticed that Itachi had already gotten up. He was dressed in black and was sweeping the open space in front of the courtyard.

He is very serious.

The floor was swept clean.

Genye greeted him.

Itachi also participated in the war with Kumogakure and killed seven or eight Kumogakure ninja on the battlefield. His current strength has reached at least the Chunin level.

A Chunin who is not yet nine years old.

He was already a genius in Konoha.

If we compare it to Genba.

It's still slightly lacking.

"Gen-ye!" Upon seeing Gen-ye, Itachi stopped his work and greeted him.

"Did you set off so early?" Itachi also needed to attend the memorial service.

“Yes, together?” Genye replied.

"Mhm!" Itachi nodded, put down the broom in his hand, and left together.

The two walked side by side on the main street of the village.

along the way.

The ninjas were dressed in black, their faces filled with sorrow; they were probably there to pay their respects.

He looked at Xuan Ye beside him.

Itachi felt a surge of emotions.

This person is the same age as me.

It seems that he has far surpassed himself in the way of the ninja.

I couldn't help but feel a little envious.

However, Itachi was not someone who underestimated himself or was prone to low self-esteem.

Two years ago, he was defeated by Gen Ye.

After some words of encouragement from Fugaku.

Itachi strengthened his resolve to become stronger.

He also vowed to protect his family and safeguard the Uchiha clan.

Therefore, the stronger Xuan Ye is.

Itachi's determination to become stronger became even stronger!

"Gen-yo, what kind of ninjutsu did you use when you fought the Eight-Tails?" Itachi gestured and asked with envy in his heart.

This ninjutsu does not belong to the Uchiha clan.

It should be the ninjutsu that Genba created in the back mountains of the Uchiha clan.

This ninjutsu even blew away the Eight-Tails Killer Bee.

The power is truly astonishing.

Xuan Ye said "Oh" casually, "That's called Fire Release: Crimson Flame Explosion!"

He didn't add the words "Rasengan".

After all, if someone with ulterior motives finds out, it could arouse suspicion.

Xuan Ye is a rebel.

But stealing the Fourth Hokage's secret techniques is a serious crime.

Try to avoid trouble for now.

"Do you want to learn?" Xuan Ye asked casually.

"Is that possible?" Itachi's eyes widened as he stared at Genba in disbelief.

Many ninjas are afraid of others knowing about their ninjutsu and are unwilling to teach it, so he didn't expect Genba to be so generous.

"Of course!" Xuan Ye answered confidently!

At this moment, Itachi had been brainwashed by Genba and no longer believed in the Will of Fire.

They're one of our own.

Increase the opponent's strength.

This is also beneficial for Genye.

No problem at all!

"Thank you!" Itachi's face lit up with a big smile, full of gratitude.

"Yeah, you look so much better when you smile. Don't always look so gloomy, like someone owes you two hundred and fifty dollars."

"Okay, okay..."

The two soon arrived at the memorial stone.

There are already many ninjas here.

The very first one.

They are Konoha's F4.

Following them were Orochimaru and Jiraiya, two of the legendary Sannin; Tsunade did not return.

And then...

They are the heads of the major clans in Konoha, such as Fugaku and Hiashi.

Behind them was a dark mass of Konoha ninja.

They were all dressed in black.

His face was solemn.

Genba and Itachi stood in the crowd at the back.

Genba also saw Sarutobi Taro, who seemed very grief-stricken and couldn't help but shed tears.
