"Is the Third Hokage vying for power over the Jinchuriki with the Hokage's advisors and assistants? It's gotten to such a heated point..."

"Is releasing surveillance a trap for the other side?" The head of the secret service felt a chill and stopped thinking about it.

Even in peacetime, the village is not safe...

With his extensive experience, he still remembered a man named Hatake Sakumo from twenty years ago who brought disaster upon himself during a simple mission and died amidst a barrage of criticism!

As a cog in the machine of the village, or rather, a slightly larger cog...

He has learned not to listen, not to look, and not to ask.

And the squad leader's guess was indeed correct, albeit slightly off.

This is indeed an internal power struggle within Konoha's upper echelons.

It wasn't a dispute between Tobirama Senju's disciples, but rather a tug-of-war between his eldest disciple, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and his teacher, the resurrected Second Hokage!

If this secret squad leader knew the truth…

Perhaps they were already sweating profusely, wondering which side to take, rather than their minds still in turmoil while their bodies honestly sided with the Third Hokage…

"Danzo, Koharu, En... let me see for myself what Master is planning..." Hiruzen Sarutobi gazed at Naruto's house from afar, his eyes flickering, and murmured to himself:

"I know you all have a rebellious streak... and you always have different opinions about what I, the Hokage, say..."

"Since that's the case, even if I don't let you disturb the master, you'll most likely still provoke him... I really can't judge to what extent the master has gained control over the Nine-Tails, or what he intends to do next..."

"In that case, I'll just have to continue being the obedient student and follow the teacher's arrangements for me and the Uchiha clan, while you guys can go and cause trouble!"

This is also what is called...

I'd rather die than see my fellow Daoist die!

Hiruzen Sarutobi straightened his sleeves and walked towards the Hokage Building with mixed feelings.

And in Naruto's mental space.

Qingshui decisively returned control of the body to Naruto, smiling as he looked at the two, a man and a fox, whose faces were filled with admiration, and slowly said:

"So, have you learned anything?"

Nine-Tails let out a long sigh of relief and nodded seriously.

"Mr. Qingshui, you are truly amazing... Just by using a Konoha chronicle and some bits and pieces of information that Naruto gathered, without using anything beyond our abilities, you fabricated a lie that the Third Hokage completely believed..."

"I used to think I had some skills in bewitching people, but now it seems..." Nine-Tails lowered its head with a sense of shame and said from the bottom of its heart.

"Brother Qingshui, you're amazing!" Naruto, on the other hand, was much more innocent, looking at Qingshui with starry eyes: "So, with information, you can do so many things!"

Qingshui smiled without saying a word, looked at Naruto, and nodded: "Good that you understand, Naruto."

In fact, no one else could do it.

Even with ample intelligence and knowledge of the ninja world's history, a theoretically sound logic alone is far from sufficient to successfully deceive Hiruzen Sarutobi...

No matter how many times Naruto and Kurama rehearse beforehand, it's highly likely they'll fail if they come.

Only Qingshui.

Because of his understanding of Tobirama Senju, Aoshui had reached a level comparable to Tobirama himself…

You can even say that.

Even if Tobirama Senju himself were to perform a scene, he might not be as natural as Aozumi…

This performance is more like the real person than the person themselves.

"Naruto, Kurama, I'm such a good liar... you two better watch out, don't fall for my tricks..."

Qing Shui smiled gently, patted the shoulders of the man and the fox, and said slowly in a slightly serious tone, not as if he were joking:

"Always remember what kind of life you want to live, and don't let me influence you... I've been subtly trying to change you all all along..."

Kurama and Naruto exchanged a glance, and then both burst out laughing.

"Brother Qingshui, you're really strange. You're afraid that Kurama and I will think you're being too nice to us, right..." Naruto winked at Qingshui and said mischievously.

"Don't worry, Brother Qingshui, we just want to be influenced by you!"

"Mr. Qing Shui, you are so gentle..." Nine-Tailed Fox shook its fox head and sincerely exclaimed, "I really don't know what to say..."

Qingshui glanced at Kurama and Naruto, and snorted.

These days, nobody believes the truth anymore...

How strange!

"Thus, through the display of power and this confrontation with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Naruto and Kurama's trust in me has reached a fairly complete level..."

Qingshui pondered to himself, "Next, I need to make Naruto have a more proactive thirst for power... I need to let him know how miserable the consequences of not having power are..."

Nine-Tails knew this.

But Naruto is still a child, and he needs a powerful shock to help shape his understanding...

At this juncture, there is a ready-made, phenomenal educational film about gaining power…

The night of the Uchiha clan massacre, orchestrated by Itachi Uchiha!

Chapter 291 The Crimson Moon Night Resounds, the Arrogance of the Strong and

The tragedy of the weak!

"I can help you take revenge on the Uchiha clan... but on one condition: you cannot take this opportunity to harm the village or my brother..."

In a forest in the Land of Fire.

Itachi Uchiha, dressed entirely in black, held the security force deployment map and duty roster he had obtained from Fugaku Uchiha. His Mangekyou Sharingan flashed with a blood-red light as he spoke in a deep voice to Obito Uchiha, who was wearing a mask:

"All we need to do is wipe out that filthy race!"

Obito Uchiha sized up Itachi Uchiha, a thought suddenly occurring to him.

"The fact that you were able to contact me through the black market and know that I have a hatred for the Uchiha clan makes things easier... But how did you find out about me?"

The black market was an area where Obito Uchiha was relatively active.

It was through a secret message left by a black market merchant that Itachi Uchiha was able to meet the elusive Obito Uchiha.

Even so, it still greatly surprised Obito Uchiha.

Possessing divine power, he did not believe that anyone in the ninja world would notice his presence.

“I have the same eyes as you…” Itachi Uchiha pointed to his eyes, the intricate patterns on his Mangekyou Sharingan were profound, and his pupils were filled with hatred and arrogance:

"Your eye power is indeed strong, capable of bypassing Konoha's protective barriers and techniques, and even infiltrating the Naka Shrine to examine the Uchiha Stone Tablet..."

"But you probably didn't expect this, did you? Among the already corrupt and decadent Uchiha clan, there is still a clansman like me who can awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan..."

"Ever since I noticed you, I've been investigating you, trying to create a profile of your personality, and speculating about your background, motives, and thoughts..."

Itachi Uchiha replied in a deep voice.

Obito Uchiha nodded thoughtfully, a sense of familiarity washing over him as he listened to Itachi Uchiha's familiar arrogance and haughtiness.

像…

Back then, after being trained by Madara Uchiha and possessing only a single Mangekyou Sharingan, he believed himself to be invincible...

At just over ten years old, he single-handedly stormed into Konoha, attempting to seize the Nine-Tails by himself, completely disregarding the village's Kage-level shinobi.

The arrogance and conceit in Itachi Uchiha's words had a hint of his own past.

"They're still far inferior to me... If I hadn't been too lazy to retrieve the eyes I gave to that piece of trash, I would have destroyed Konoha with that beast years ago!"

"This kid clearly has two Mangekyou Sharingan eyes, yet he's so cautious even when dealing with an Uchiha clan member, which shows his eye technique isn't that troublesome..."

"However... his hatred for the Uchiha clan is interesting. Madara's Sharingan is too ancient, so it makes sense for him to collect the fresh eyes of those useless clan members as backup."

"The Uchiha clan, although they're just a bunch of kids right now, their Sharingan bloodline is still a problem... If they awaken a powerful eye technique, even I'll have to be wary of them..."

"Let's just kill them all, it'll be safer."

Obito Uchiha quickly calculated in his mind that since a kid was willing to serve as a henchman, he would go to Konoha and cause another ruckus.

After hearing Itachi Uchiha's plea to both slaughter the Uchiha clan and protect Konoha...

Obito Uchiha increasingly wanted to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to completely restart the hellish and filthy ninja world!

There isn't a single good person in this fucking place!

And they're all the kind whose brains are completely broken...

Obito Uchiha had thoroughly investigated the affairs of Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha through White Zetsu, but he never expected that Itachi Uchiha would also discover a trace of him.

For the sake of the so-called Will of Fire, two pairs of Kaleidoscope Sharingan users—one committing suicide, the other about to turn against their own kind—went to such lengths to find him as an outsider to help them exterminate their race…

They were afraid that someone from the Uchiha clan might still be alive...

This almost made Obito Uchiha lose his composure.

Those are two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan!

Back then, he dared to overturn the entire Hidden Leaf Village with just one eye!

As a result, this generation of Uchiha seemed to have been deeply brainwashed by the Konoha leadership, willingly sacrificing themselves for some bullshit Will of Fire, and all had such a strong tendency to defect to the enemy.

Even if Obito Uchiha wanted to see the Uchiha clan wiped out.

However, the blood flowing through his veins and his childhood identity still made Obito Uchiha feel extremely uncomfortable after witnessing Itachi and Shisui's foolishness. He felt as if he, too, had lost face...

You could say they were both stupid and wicked!

"I was too kind... All these ninjas born from this ninja world should go to hell to atone for their sins, instead of living a wonderful life in the perfect world I created for Rin..."

Obito Uchiha mentally spat at Itachi Uchiha, then adopted a relaxed tone and said casually:

"Then let's do as you say. Three days from now, you and I will begin the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre..."

Uchiha Itachi nodded slowly: "Then it's a deal."

Obito waved his hand, turned and stared at Itachi Uchiha for a moment, then his figure gradually merged into the alternate dimension with the spatial vortex and quickly disappeared from the spot.

He really couldn't figure it out...

What exactly was Itachi Uchiha thinking...?
