In a dark underground laboratory, a man with a pair of snake-like eyes was busy with instruments in his hands.
The bloody experiment being carried out on the testing table appears to have gone wrong.
*Hss...*
A white snake burst through the ground, and the sound it made made Orochimaru tense up a little, put down the tools in his hands and take off his gloves.
The white snake spat the scroll out of its mouth, Orochimaru picked it up and opened it, after which his snake pupils instantly shrank.
Is Danzo...dead?
Uzumaki Sora?
Senju Tree Release, Uchiha Mangekyo Sharingan?
Sensei...it seems you underestimated the Fourth Hokage...
Take the Uchiha clan as your main support and use the Danzo incident to win over the various clans of Konoha's secret techniques.
Those techniques...really taught by that Jiraiya guy?
Putting the scroll aside, Orochimaru began to sort through all the materials and data in the laboratory.
It is obvious that after what happened to Danzo, it can no longer be safe to stay here. And in general, it's no longer safe for him to stay in Konoha...
The secrets of chakra, the secrets of life, all the ninjutsu in the ninja world... There is too much to learn and explore.
Konoha... you can't stay here anymore.
...
"Brother, how long will it take me to open the sharingan?"
At the dango shop, Izumi, who was holding a bunch of dangos, puffed out her cheeks, looking a lot like... a guinea pig?
Uchiha Yun poked her with his hand and replied: "What other sharingan are you going to open? I told you that our eyes only open when we are in pain, and those who open their eyes are generally a little sick."
Izumi looked at her brother, "Then brother, are you... a little sick too?"
Um-mm!
Yun, who didn't know how to respond, said to Izumi, "When we graduate from school, I will ask the Fourth Hokage to be placed on the same team, then we will go on missions together. And when you become a chunin, you will be transferred to a ninja school as a teacher. This is the safest option."
Izumi was stunned by these words. She really doesn't like fighting and killing, as was the case with those Root ninjas who suddenly appeared that day. If it weren't for her brother, I'm afraid it would be very dangerous...
"Sasuke, this is Aunt Kushina and Naruto's brother, say hi."
"Naruto, say hello to your brother..."
A voice nearby made Yun turn around, is this a meeting between the two main characters?
How much did it change the fate of these two people, or rather the fate of the reincarnations of Indra and Asura?
Naruto, who was just over two years old and could already walk, looked at little Sasuke in front of him and stepped forward to take his hand.
*Pa!*
It's a pity that Sasuke slapped his hand instead of shaking it.
Sasuke turned and looked at Mikoto, "Mom, I don't know him."
Naruto stared blankly at the back of his hand that had been hit and almost began to cry.
Mikoto quickly looked at Naruto, rubbed his arm, and then looked at Sasuke and said, "Naruto's mom and I are friends, and you, Sasuke, will be Naruto's classmate in the future when you go to ninja school, so you should get along well." "
Kushina looked at Sasuke from the side with bright eyes: "Mikoto, I haven't seen you for a long time, your little Sasuke is so handsome. He's just like his brother."
Perhaps the last sentence played a role, Sasuke raised his head proudly: "In the future, I will become a powerful ninja, like my brother."
Naruto, who had only recently learned to speak a little, raised his head, "Nin...?"
Kushina touched Naruto's hair, "Like daddy." Dad is a ninja who protects the entire village."
Naruto understood what she said and continued to joyfully call for dad...
But at this moment, Sasuke on the other hand lowered his head and was a little upset. Thinking about this, he raised his head and asked his mother: "Mom, why don't my brother and I have a father?"
After these words, the scene immediately fell silent.
Even Kushina stopped Naruto from shouting and looked at Mikoto with an apology: "I'm so sorry, Mikoto..."
Mikoto shook her head slightly, knelt down to look at little Sasuke, and said seriously: "Sasuke and Itachi have a father, and he is also a great ninja who dedicated himself to protecting the village. When your brother returns, we will go together to visit your dad."
Little Sasuke nodded seriously, and Kushina, standing on the side, looked at him guiltily.
Regardless, the reason for the incident with Captain Fugaku was indeed related to her.
"How about Auntie treats you to some dango? You can eat as much as you want!"
There is not much sadness in the children's world, and after hearing that they can eat whatever they want, they will not be so sad. At an age when they had just fallen in love with sweets, the two children rejoiced with sparkling eyes.
On the other hand, Uchiha Yun sighed. While Fugaku's death may not be a bad thing for the Uchiha clan, it is yet another case of child neglect.
At this moment, the two mothers and sons had just entered the dango shop and exchanged glances with Yun and his sister for a while.
Yun stood up and greeted them with a smile, "Brother Itachi is that big already? I remember the last time I saw you, you peed your pants."
These words made Sasuke instantly blush.
He raised his head to look at the stranger and said: "You're talking nonsense, I don't pee in my pants!"
Yun smiled and looked at Naruto, who was exactly the same as in his memory, with the same hair color as the Fourth.
The little guy was hiding behind Kushina at this moment because of what Sasuke had done earlier.
"Is this the son of the Fourth Hokage? He has the same hair. He must be two years old already?"
Kushina nodded, "You're Uchiha Yun, right? I heard Minato mention you and that a while ago you and Shisui helped Minato a lot."
Yun bowed and replied, "This is what I have to do."
After being polite, Yun took one last look at Naruto and Sasuke and left, telling Izumi to say goodbye.
Haa...
These are the guys from whom I need to take a test tube of blood, if one is not enough, I'll pump out ten...
After Uchiha Yun left, Mikoto looked at Kushina and said, "This child is only nine years old, right? Is he capable of helping the Fourth Hokage?
Kushina smiled and said, "Mikoto, do you want to ask about the night before yesterday? Although I don't know much, Uchiha Yun and Uchiha Shisui were both present that day."
Were both present?
Mikoto panicked for a while and quickly said, "Kushina, Shisui has been working hard, the Fourth Hokage..."
*Memory...*
Kushina suddenly boldly hugged Mikoto and whispered in her ear, "What are you thinking? Don't worry, a high-ranking member of Konoha actually died that night. But Minato accidentally let slip that this is good for the Uchiha clan."
Letting go of Mikoto, Kushina scratched the back of her head: "By the way, I didn't like that old man either, but since he's already dead, let's not talk about it."
It was only at this time that Mikoto felt relieved, but Sasuke, standing behind her, remembered this scene.
