The next day, Naruto returned to his routine of schooling and training.
Because there was truly nothing to do recently, the next step was to wait for the two houses to be renovated and the virtual helmet experience store to open for business.
Naruto's days were peaceful, but the Uchiha Clan Estate was in an uproar.
The reason was that the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura of the Konoha Council of Elders both took an interest in an Uchiha Clan member, Uchiha Makoto.
The Third Hokage wanted Uchiha Makoto to join the Anbu directly under the Hokage.
Danzo, on the other hand, wanted Uchiha Makoto to join the Root.
Thus, Danzo and the Third Hokage engaged in a covert struggle, neither willing to give up.
In these past few days, Uchiha Makoto had become the focal point of the entire Uchiha Clan.
It was rare for an Uchiha to be sought after by two of the Village's biggest figures.
After all, the Uchiha were not well-regarded by the Konoha high-ups.
Upon learning about Uchiha Makoto, the Uchiha Great Elder directly sought him out.
"Makoto, you are an outstanding member of the Uchiha, and this is an excellent opportunity for us to infiltrate the Konoha high-level. I hope you choose the Third Hokage instead of Danzo Shimura!"
Makoto did not refuse the Uchiha Great Elder's proposal; more accurately, he couldn't refuse it.
His family was in the Uchiha Clan Estate, and the Great Elder was powerful and influential. It would be easy for him to target Makoto or his family.
In the end, Uchiha Makoto chose to go to the Third Hokage, becoming his direct Anbu.
Naturally, Uchiha Fugaku, as the clan head, was also observing the situation with Uchiha Makoto.
He couldn't understand why Uchiha Makoto, who had just awakened a one-tomoe Sharingan, would be valued by the Village's two biggest figures.
Uchiha Fugaku didn't understand, so he sought out Uchiha Itachi, who was also in the Anbu.
In recent days, Uchiha Itachi had not gone to work, spending his time studying the various red books Naruto had given him.
"Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, friendliness... This... this is the true will of fire."
In Itachi's view, compared to the will of fire spoken of by the Third Hokage, the ideology in these red books was the true will of fire that could illuminate the Village, no, it should be said, illuminate the entire Ninja World.
"Naruto is right. The problem isn't us, but this world, the system of this corrupt world!"
"The world doesn't belong to us Ninja with power, or the nobles and Daimyo who hold authority, but to the common people at the bottom."
"The food we eat is grown by the people, the clothes we wear are produced by the people, and our houses are built by the people."
"I was wrong. I only saw the cruelty of war, but I didn't see the harm war inflicts on ordinary people."
Uchiha Itachi not only found the red ideology in these books but also the secret to peace.
What is the secret to peace? Of course, it is resources.
Why do the flames of war not affect the Daimyo of various countries? The reason is simple: because the Daimyo control the resources.
Ninja become tools in the hands of the Daimyo precisely because the Daimyo hold the resources that Ninja Villages need.
Suddenly, Uchiha Itachi really wanted to leave the Village and see the daily lives of ordinary people outside.
Uchiha Itachi's only practical lesson in these years was when his father took him to the battlefield.
It was then that he saw the cruelty of war.
This time, he wanted to see the lives of ordinary people and the impact of war on them.
After understanding some things, Uchiha Itachi closed his laptop and softly said, "Ninja cannot save the Ninja World."
"Abandoning being a Ninja for farming is the only way to save the Ninja World!"
That's right, Uchiha Itachi's thoughts were similar to what Naruto initially thought; he wanted to use the power of Ninja to increase productivity.
If Naruto knew Uchiha Itachi's current thoughts, he would definitely be very shocked.
Shocked that just by reading some red books, Uchiha Itachi's ideology had undergone a drastic change.
The current Uchiha Itachi was acting like a transmigrator, his ideas already reaching the sky.
Uchiha Fugaku stood at Itachi's door, listening to Itachi's soliloquy inside the room.
At this moment, what Uchiha Itachi said was completely the rhetoric of a rebel.
For all people in the Ninja World, the country belongs to the Daimyo and nobles, and naturally, those so-called common people also belong to the Daimyo and those nobles.
Let alone the common people, even Ninja are merely weapons in the hands of the Daimyo and nobles.
If Itachi's ideology were known, he would absolutely be ostracized by the entire Ninja World.
"How could Itachi become like this?"
On the other side.
Uchiha Shisui, like Itachi, was also deeply shaken by the red ideology.
Originally, he was a firm follower of the will of fire, but now he knew that in the face of the red ideology, the will of fire was nothing at all.
If someone were to try to fool him with the will of fire now, he would absolutely use the great red ideology to refute that person to death.
Just like that, two dazzling red stars slowly rose in Konoha Village.
They would be the innovators of the entire Ninja World, becoming the solid pillars of peace in the Ninja World.
At this moment, their hearts were no longer focused on this small Konoha Village, but on the hardworking people of the entire Ninja World.
Naruto, unaware of the changes in Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui, was still attending classes at school.
These days, Naruto's life was very regular.
He woke up early to train with Lee under the guidance of Benn.
Then came school.
During class, he would play games with a few friends, or play Overcooked, Fall Guys, or Pictionary with his deskmate Hinata to foster their relationship.
After school, Lee would train on his own, while Naruto began to practice his Nen Ability.
Recently, Naruto had been trying to develop a Nen Beast and had already made good progress.
It was estimated that it wouldn't be long before Naruto could create a Nen Beast.
As for the evenings, besides eating, he would play games in the Sealing Space.
Although the virtual world was also a game, Naruto still felt that a mouse and keyboard were more interesting.
More accurately, it was because the virtual world was too empty, and there were too few players.
Kurama had created an Ahri wife and, after playing for a few days, returned to his daily DNF grind, also because there were too few players in the virtual space, and he had no one to flame.
