Veil of Flames: The Uchiha Continuum

Konoha, 35 years

The Whirlpool Kingdom

Whirlpool Village

The figures in Whirlpool Village shook and the villagers fled in all directions. The cruel masked ninjas robbed, looted and killed civilians.

In the Uzumaki Village Headquarters, Uzumaki Aoi, who was already in his sixties, had a wrinkled face and said majestically:

"You are leading the children to escape from the secret passage! Our ninjutsu is sought after and it's too late to call for help from Konoha. We can escape as best we can! Let's go!"

"Yes!" Several young ninjas disappeared from the leader's building in a flash.

At the same time, a masked ninja formed a seal in front of the building and shouted:

"Earth Style: Earth Dango!"

As if he possessed extraordinary powers, the masked ninja dug his hands into the earth, unearthed a boulder the size of a truck, and smashed it against the Uzushio Village Chief's building.

Within seconds, several masked ninjas had gathered here.

One of them was a masked ninja with lightning flashing on his body and a powerful aura.

"You bandits who covet the ninjutsu of my village of Uzushio, join me in damnation."

The leader's building was hit by rocks and collapsed. A faint sound came from inside, and at the same time, countless ink spewed from the collapsed leader's building.

"Sealing Technique: Seal of the Four Symbols!"

As those masked ninjas realised the danger and tried to evacuate, a circular barrier suddenly erupted, covering them all, and then shrank in an instant until it disappeared.

Next to disappear were the surrounding masked ninjas and the collapsed building.

...

Uchiha Naraku, Konoha Jōnin, 13 years old, is an elite member of the Uchiha Clan.

He is currently on duty in the Eastern Sea of the Fire Nation, guarding against the Water Nation and deterring the Thunder Nation.

With World War II in full swing, these elite ninja had plenty of time on their hands.

Uchiha Naraku looked out to sea.

It has been ten years since I travelled back in time. At the age of three, I solved the mystery of my womb and awakened the memories of my past life.

In preparation for his reincarnation into the Uchiha clan, Naraku has been practicing hard.

Naraku has a rough understanding of the Hokage's plan and knows the ultimate fate of the Uchiha Clan, the largest clan in Konoha.

The fear of Konoha, the internal disunity and the mediocrity of the clan leader led the Uchiha clan step by step to the abyss.

"Naraku, you're looking at the sea again. What's so interesting about the sea? Come practice ninjutsu with me."

Jōnin Uchiha Yashiro was in his forties when the Clan was wiped out.

At that time, however, Uchiha Yashiro was young and strong in his early twenties and was a well-known Jōnin elite in the Clan.

"Yashiro Senpai, you are currently on a defensive mission. Where can you waste chakra practising ninjutsu?"

Uchiha Yashiro couldn't help but be confused by the young and mature Uchiha Naraku and quickly interrupted: "Yes, that is what you are talking about, Naraku-sama."

Yashiro was helpless, and the young Uchiha Naraku became famous - even more famous than himself.

There is even a title called "Copy Ninja". He is a famous up-and-coming genius of the Uchiha Clan and a candidate for the Clan Leader's post along with Uchiha Fugaku.

"Huh? Is something going on?"

Naraku looked intently and saw several ships on the sea, billowing with thick smoke, heading this way.

"Yashiro, gather the clan members! There's a situation!"

Thick smoke was billowing from the three ships, which was obviously a special situation.

Yashiro took out the flare and released it into the air, and a firework exploded in the air.

Although Yashiro is older than Naraku, his skills are not as good as the others.

I also admire Naraku's thoughts and feel that Naraku is someone who can lead the rise of the Uchiha Clan.

This sentry post is a bit far away from the camp, so it might take some time for the team to arrive.

"Yashiro, divide the earth, hide!"

This is a three-man team, and Yashiro was originally the captain.

However, Uchiha Yashiro admired Naraku's strength and potential and followed Naraku's lead.

The ship with the billowing smoke slowly approached and Naraku could clearly hear the sounds of battle coming from the ship.

I can't help but feel a little confused.

"Split Earth, go take a look!" Naraku ordered.

Ninjas are lurkers and when they appear, they often have a killing blow in their arsenal.

Even though Uchiha Naraku and Yashiro are Konoha Jōnin, they are powerful.

Still, he followed the ancient ninja tradition and lurked in silence.

Uchiha cracked the ground and touched the water. About two hundred metres away, several body flicker techniques arrived on the boat.

Uchiha Ritsuchi stood on the bow of the ship and watched silently. Many corpses lay on the deck of the ship. The fighting ninjas spotted Uchiha Ritsuchi.

After both sides had clearly seen Konoha's forehead guard, one of the masked ninjas looked shocked. The red haired ninja on the other side looked happy.

"Konoha Shinobi, come and help us! We are the ninjas of Konoha's ally, Uzushio Village!"

A red-haired ninja shouted with a happy face, holding a long sword in his hand.

Uchiha Ritu didn't answer, but turned and ran to the shore, disappearing in a few seconds.

"Naraku-sama, Yashiro-sama, the ninjas of Uzushio Village are fighting with some masked ninjas and the ninjas of Uzushio Village are at a disadvantage!"

Uchiha split the earth and came to Naraku. The splitter was Konoha Chūnin, and Uchiha was also considered to be a good player.

Because the fear of Konoha suppressed the number of Jōnin in Uchiha, he was not promoted to Jōnin.

"The Uzumaki Clan in Uzushio Village, are they the Uzumaki Clan who are allied with the Senju clan? They look like they are on the run; hahaha, let's give them a ride!"

When Uchiha Yashiro heard that the village of Uzushio, an ally of Konoha, had been intercepted and killed, he not only had no intention of helping, he even gloated a little. Then he added:

"Naraku, let's go over there and kill them all and lay the blame on those masked men! The Uzumaki Clan is just as hateful as the Senju Clan!"

Uchiha Naraku said nothing and touched his chin. Naraku knew the history of the Senju and Uchiha very well.

As for the reason why the Uzumaki clan was scattered all over the world in the anime, Naraku probably guessed a little after hearing Yashiro's words.

He had encountered the Uchiha's defensive position and he was a world enemy, so he would not be spared and he was not an ally of Konoha.

"Yashiro Senpai, let's go and have a look. If the Uzumaki Clan is being hunted, we must save them. The current Uzumaki Clan is an ally of Konoha, not an enemy of Sengoku!"

Naraku thought for a moment and made a decision. He should prepare for the rescue instead of adding insult to injury. In a few moments, he was already close to the ship.

The red haired ninja on the ship was at the end of his tether. He was in heaven and hell. He thought that Konoha would be rescued, but he hadn't expected that the ninja would actually escape!

When the red-haired ninja saw the Konoha shinobi, his eyes lit up.

Naraku did not disappoint the redheaded ninja and shouted loudly:

"How dare you, Little***, attack Konoha's allies? Where are you ninjas from?"

Naraku wore the Konoha uniform vest, a forehead guard and a long sword on his back. His black, waist-length curly hair was tied up and draped behind him. The red Sharingan scanned the area.

Call! Call! Call!

Several kunai were shot at by Naraku, who immediately drew his long sword and slashed the kunai away with several swords.

A masked ninja performed several hand seals in a very short time, as if performing a ninjutsu in an instant. The blue light flashed in his hand and he controlled several bolts of lightning to fire at Naraku.

Naraku dodged three times and avoided three lightning attacks.

By this time, Uchiha Yashiro and Ritsuchi had arrived and saw that they had already taken action, so they were not polite. The shurikens were fired at the masked ninja.

The masked ninja has excellent ninjutsu. After releasing his ninjutsu, he dodged several shurikens.

As he was about to draw his sword and strike, he was suddenly struck by several bolts of lightning.

"Ah!" He let out a painful howl and collapsed to the ground.

It turned out that Naraku had activated the Sharingan, copied the ninjutsu when the ninja released it, dodged the ninjutsu and then returned it to him!

"Solve one," Uchiha Naraku said calmly.
