"Naruto, you didn't see how Sasuke looked just now; it was so funny."
Sakura followed behind Uzumaki Naruto, excitedly recounting what had just happened.
Ever since she shifted her attention to Naruto, she had become somewhat displeased with Uchiha Sasuke.
After all,
After the "male god" filter was applied,
Uchiha Sasuke's aloof and pretentious personality was hard to like.
"I didn't want to."
"But he kept showing off in front of me."
Uzumaki Naruto said indifferently.
Since transmigrating to the Ninja World, he had made up his mind.
In the future, there could only be one King of Pretension in the Ninja World,
And that was him, Uzumaki Naruto!
"But... Naruto, given Sasuke's personality, won't he get into trouble after such a big blow?"
After calming down, Sakura asked somewhat uncertainly.
"Don't worry."
"It won't be long before that guy returns to normal."
Uzumaki Naruto waved his hand calmly.
His nickname "Erzhuzi" wasn't for nothing.
In the original story,
Sasuke could be said to have been beaten up every time he showed off, but did it affect his personality later on?
No effect.
Strength improvement — showing off — getting beaten up — strength improvement — showing off again — getting beaten up again... Erzhuzi came through this way.
A blow like today's was just a minor setback.
"That's good then."
Hearing Uzumaki Naruto's words, Sakura Haruno nodded.
Then,
She casually asked, "By the way, Naruto-kun, who do you think was the first person to control Chakra?"
"Yesterday, I saw a book that said the Six Paths Sage founded Ninshu, and only then did Ninja exist."
"So the Six Paths Sage should be the progenitor of the entire Ninja World, right?"
"If the legend is true, then the Six Paths Sage must have been incredibly powerful."
"I wonder if he was even stronger than the Strongest Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi."
"Naruto, do you know anything about this?"
Sakura Haruno asked, feigning innocence.
"You know, I've never liked reading."
"But... I guess even the Six Paths Sage probably wasn't as powerful as our Third Hokage-sama."
Uzumaki Naruto snorted lightly.
"Oh."
Hearing Uzumaki Naruto's words, Sakura Haruno didn't say anything more.
She had said all she needed to say; now, it was up to Naruto to see if he would reveal anything in his diary.
"Sakura, I'm home."
"Oh... Naruto, do you have any ingredients at home?"
"Let me make you dinner before I go."
Sakura Haruno asked cautiously.
"Okay."
"Great!"
Seeing Uzumaki Naruto agree, Sakura Haruno's face broke into a happy smile.
Tonight,
Naruto would definitely make another entry about her in his diary... "Naruto, I'm leaving ~"
After seeing Sakura Haruno off, Uzumaki Naruto withdrew his gaze.
It had to be said,
Sakura definitely had a knack for fawning over people.
One meal,
And she had served him comfortably.
It really lived up to a saying.
If you fawn over Sasuke, I'll call you a Sakura Bitch, but if you fawn over me... then it's fine.
Closing the door, Uzumaki Naruto slowly sat down at the table.
He hadn't written today's diary entry yet, and he needed to finish it before midnight.
"Ohayo ~"
Looking at the familiar content appearing in the diary, The women all put down what they were doing.
Ohayo ~
"Today was another pleasant day."
"That guy Sasuke's face turned green when he found out I was doing missions with him using a Shadow Clone."
"I have to say, showing off in front of Erzhuzi feels so good; no wonder Erzhuzi is so addicted to it."
"But having said that, Erzhuzi is indeed a bit tragic, being completely manipulated by Uchiha Itachi."
"Speaking of Uchiha Itachi, that guy is a double-crosser."
"A typical Uchiha personality, extreme and arrogant."
"To resolve the conflict between the Village and the Uchiha Clan, he actually raised a butcher's knife against his own kin, and with the support of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, he killed all his clansmen except Uchiha Sasuke, including his own parents!"
"Finally, by taking on the name of a rogue Ninja and infiltrating the Akatsuki Organization to gather intelligence, he made the Village guarantee Uchiha Sasuke's safety."
Looking at the contents of the diary, everyone reading it gasped.
So,
The truth behind the Uchiha Clan's annihilation was actually like this?
Uchiha Itachi acting against his clansmen... was he ordered by the Village?!
In a certain tavern.
Tsunade's wine glass shattered into pieces, but she seemed oblivious.
"Lady Tsunade, are you alright?"
Shizune asked anxiously.
"I'm fine."
"Hehe... Shizune, why do you think this old man became like this?"
Tsunade asked with a hint of drunkenness in her eyes.
The Ninja Hero who was once righteous and made the Ninja World tremble in fear, why did he become like this now?
Power,
Could it really make a person do something to this extent?
Sakumo Hatake, Orochimaru... back then, they all ended up being reviled by everyone because they threatened the power in your hands, right?
She originally thought you had just grown old and your personality had become weak.
But she never expected that,
Behind the Uchiha Clan's annihilation, your shadow was also present.
To be so ruthless to Ninja from your own Village... you really make me see you in a new light.
Thinking of this,
Tsunade picked up all the wine bottles on the table and poured them into her mouth.
"Teacher, please don't let me find out that the disappearance of the Senju Clan is also related to you.
I really don't want to... kill you!"
Just as Tsunade was drowning her sorrows in alcohol, the diary continued to update.
"Of course, don't feel sorry for Uchiha Itachi."
"There were many ways to resolve the conflict between the Village and the Uchiha Clan, but he chose the most extreme one."
"Besides the radical hawkish faction, the Uchiha Clan also had a conservative faction that advocated for compromise and peace, but Uchiha Itachi indiscriminately killed all his clansmen."
"To call him scum would be an insult to the word 'scum'."
"After arrogantly arranging an ending for his clansmen, Uchiha Itachi then arranged the path for Uchiha Sasuke's life."
"In his plan, he would make Uchiha Sasuke hate him, grow stronger for revenge, and once Uchiha Sasuke awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan, he would then give his Mangekyo Sharingan to Uchiha Sasuke, allowing Uchiha Sasuke to awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan."
"At the same time, he would die at Uchiha Sasuke's hands as an S-Rank Missing-nin of Konoha, thereby making Uchiha Sasuke a hero of the Village."
Upon reading this, The women all felt a bit emotional.
Indeed,
just as Uzumaki Naruto had said,
what Uchiha Itachi did, it was not an exaggeration to call him scum.
However,
he was truly good to his younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke.
But the next second,
The women were immediately proven wrong.
"But don't think Uchiha Itachi was so good to Uchiha Sasuke."
"Did he consider Sasuke's feelings in any of what he did?"
"Can one justifiably force arrange someone else's life under the banner of doing what's best for them?"
"Did he ever think how painful it would be for Sasuke once he learned the truth?"
"Furthermore, to ensure Sasuke would follow his wishes and continue to protect the Village, Uchiha Itachi even specifically prepared 'Kotoamatsukami', intending to control Uchiha Sasuke's thoughts."
"Using such a powerful genjutsu as 'Kotoamatsukami', which can subtly alter others' will, on his own younger brother… Heh heh…"
"Was he treating Sasuke as a younger brother, or as a plaything to entrust his own will?"
