Chapter 63: Guidance from Naruto
"These are internal documents of Konoha. Although they aren't very important, it is still difficult to borrow them."
After finishing everything just now, Naruto began to explain the reason to Uchiha Sasuke, and then took several more books, also stamped with the word "Confidential," from his bookshelf and tossed them in front of Uchiha Sasuke.
"I have always felt that the annihilation of the Uchiha Clan cannot be separated from Konoha, because this simply makes no sense!"
Naruto began to take the book from Uchiha Sasuke's hand, flipped through more than half of it, and then pointed to a passage for Uchiha Sasuketo see.
"This is the record from when Uzushiogakure was destroyed. Their treatment was vastly different from that of you Uchiha!" Naruto's voice became low, "And my surname is Uzumaki, and the founders of Uzushiogakure were none other than the Uzumaki Clan."
Uchiha Sasuke looked up at Naruto, then immediately looked at the passage Naruto was pointing to, his brows gradually furrowing.
"After my inquiries over these years, I am currently the only surviving Bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan, and the Sealing Jutsu of the Uzumaki Clan has now been recorded into Konoha's Ninjutsu records, completely becoming Konoha's property."
"What exactly are you trying to tell me!"
Uchiha Sasuke was anxious. He didn't want to guess what Naruto was trying to tell him; he only wanted to know the connection, or rather the truth, behind the annihilation of the Uchiha Clan and the Uzumaki Clan!
And this was exactly the result Naruto wanted.
To build a close connection with Uchiha Sasuke, simple care or opening up one's heart was not solid enough; the two must have the same goals and shared pursuits to make this relationship stronger.
Otherwise, given the characteristics of the Uchiha Clan, it would be easy for them to go down different paths due to a slight disagreement. After all, people of the Uchiha Clan never listen to advice; they only act according to their own judgment.
"There are hidden circumstances behind the annihilation of the Uchiha Clan that neither you nor I know about!"
Naruto stated his judgment, but unexpectedly, Uchiha Sasuke appeared exceptionally irritable. His single-tomoe Sharingan opened instantly, and a violent aura burst out uncontrollably.
"Hidden circumstances?! What hidden circumstances!" Uchiha Sasuke was already on the verge of a breakdown, pointing at his own eyes hysterically, "My eyes won't lie. I saw with my own eyes that man kill my parents one by one, and his hand didn't even shake!"
"If that's the case, then why didn't he kill you too?!"
"He didn't want to?! He did!" Uchiha Sasuke was completely frantic, "That man just wanted to test his capacity again, waiting for me to grow up so he could take my eyes!"
"Then what about your parents' eyes?!" Narutoasked a Soul-searching question, "I don't know exactly how the Uchiha Sharingan awakens, but given your brother's talent, your parents' talent definitely couldn't have been bad!"
"That man is not my brother!" Uchiha Sasukefrantically retorted to Naruto, "He is just... just... just..."
After the retort, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly stalled, staring blankly at Naruto. The tears in his eyes instantly receded, and a light called hope suddenly bloomed in his eyes.
"My parents... my parents' eyes..." Uchiha Sasuke's rationality gradually returned, "That man could awaken the supreme power of the Uchiha, there's no reason my parents couldn't; they were so outstanding..."
"But... but..."
"It's why didn't they fight back, right?!" Narutoguided him patiently, "That is the unreasonable part. And do you think Uchiha Itachi could manage to slaughter the entire Uchiha Clan overnight by himself?!"
"What else do you know!" Uchiha Sasuke grabbed Naruto's shoulders and shook him desperately, "Tell me! Tell me quickly!"
Naruto pushed Uchiha Sasuke aside. Ignoring Uchiha Sasuke's overreaction, he sat down at his desk and spread out many documents he had already organized.
"I haven't had contact with real Ninja, but according to records, when an Elite Jonin faces two Jonin, they can easily win. But if there are more than five Jonin, even a Kage-level powerhouse would inevitably face a bitter battle."
"Although they could win in the end, the intensity of the battle would definitely far exceed what you or I imagine, and the commotion caused would definitely alert many people."
"Let me give you a hypothesis." Naruto held out a palm, "First, Uchiha Itachi's strength reached Kage-level. Second, Uchiha Itachi's Chakra volume exceeded the normal Kage-level range. Third, Uchiha Itachi's strength was outstanding among Kage-level. Fourth, the number of Elite Jonin in the Uchiha Clan was ten. Fifth, Uchiha Itachi used his identity to ambush and kill five Uchiha Elite Jonin."
"The above hypothesis is Uchiha Itachi's strongest state and most perfect opening." Naruto patted the gradually calming Uchiha Sasuke, "Although imagination differs from the actual situation, think carefully: based on the Uchiha family's foundation, although one-on-one they couldn't defeat Uchiha Itachi, if they attacked in a group..."
"That man... he..."
"Right!" Naruto snapped his fingers, "Uchiha Itachicould indeed severely damage the Uchiha Clan, but there is still quite a gap before he could annihilate the clan single-handedly. This is one of the many unreasonable points."
"Are there other places?!"
"This is the basic composition of Konoha, the deployment locations of various Ninja units, and a basic introduction to the various Ninja departments with different authorities. You can take a general look."
At this point, Naruto was suddenly in no hurry to continue. He was very clear about the strengths and weaknesses of human nature, which is that people always believe what they see, what they hear, and what they judge themselves.
Naruto only needed to stir up the doubts in Uchiha Sasuke's heart, give him some materials he had prepared long ago, and use some small tactics to slowly guide him. In the end, the conclusion Uchiha Sasuke reached would not only be what Narutomost wanted to see, but also what Uchiha Sasukefelt was most true.
"Are these... all true?!"
After a while, Uchiha Sasuke looked up. The single-tomoe Sharingan had long since closed, revealing his original pitch-black pupils, and the expression on his face had long since returned to its original state.
"I don't know if it's true or not, but I know that the Uchiha residential area, just like the Hyuga Clan, is in the best location in Konoha, and there are quite a few Ninja units stationed around it."
Uchiha Sasuke fell silent. A conclusion slowly formed in his heart, and for a moment, his desire for revenge against Uchiha Itachi suddenly became less urgent...
"Why was it that when I returned home, the Konoha Ninja units had no reaction at all, and the scene at that time... felt like it was intentionally shown to me...?"
"This is something you need to slowly investigate..." Naruto sighed, "And regarding the destruction of Uzushiogakure many years ago, I am also slowly investigating it, but I still have no leads at all."
"But all of this cannot be separated from Konoha!"
Naruto reached a conclusion, and at the same time reached out his hand and waved it in front of Uchiha Sasuke, "Since Konoha has a thousand and one links to the annihilation of both our clans, then..."
"I think besides our brotherly relationship, we need to add a cooperative relationship!"
