Konoha, in the midst of a verdant and dense forest, is a semi-open secret cultivation base.

"Come!"

"Come again!"

"Come again!"

"Ahh

"Huhu...... Whew...... Again! ”

After being knocked to the ground by his opponent again, Sasuke slammed into the trunk of a tree behind him, this time unable to even hold the wooden knife in his hand and let it go.

First leaned against the tree, gasping for breath, and then uncontrollably knelt on the grass, his body curled up in pain.

When this stubborn boy gritted his teeth, endured the pain of his whole body about to fall apart, and wanted to get up again to challenge the guy in front of him. Not far away, there was a sudden voice like this:

"Sasuke, it's time to go home for dinner."

“…… Eldest brother!? ”

Sasuke and Naruto, who was standing with a wooden knife in one hand, turned their heads at the same time, and saw a cold and handsome young man standing on the side of the secret training ground for some time.

(Damn, let my eldest brother see me so embarrassed.) Seeing Uchiha Itachi, Sasuke lowered his head, gritted his teeth and forced himself to get up, and controlled his hands and feet not to tremble, and then walked towards his brother step by step.

This time, Sasuke was really beaten badly.

Since entering the ninja school, from the beginning of knowing Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke knew that this guy would be his lifelong enemy, Sasuke was so arrogant that he even had to compare his favorite brother, how could he endure Naruto Uzumaki, a guy who hated him at first sight, pressed himself everywhere?

It's just that even if he is unwilling, the real strength gap still makes Sasuke, who has challenged again and again, endure violent beatings.

(It's so strong!) The current Uchiha Itachi already has a strength close to the shadow level, right? This guy is a monster, he's only twelve years old. Even if I have adult willpower and work hard to polish myself, I am not sure that I will have this level of strength at the age of twelve...... If you don't count the Nine-Tails. ）

"Sasuke, don't forget what you promised me."

"Got it, long-winded." What he thought in his heart, but his face would not show it, Naruto smiled goodbye to Sasuke Uchiha with a wooden knife, and then he watched the pair of brothers from the Uchiha family leave together.

In the process, Naruto almost didn't dare to look into the eyes of the Uchiha Itachi, who knows if this senior brother will give himself a set of Tsukiyomi and Amaterasu combos in a fit of rage?

Of course, it's very unlikely that something like this will happen.

In the eyes of Uchiha Itachi, Sasuke, Naruto and others at this time are all children, not to mention sparring, even if they really have contradictions and fights, he will not do anything to Naruto, the people of the Uchiha family, most of them are born with thunder and fire dual attributes, and that arrogance and extremeness are like taking root in the blood.

The so-called Thunder Fire temperament refers to the people of the Uchiha clan.

Holding Sasuke in one hand, the two brothers walked home together, and not far out of the woods, Itachi suddenly turned his head to his brother and said.

"It's been a long time since I've carried you home, so I'm going home today, so as not to make my father and mother wait for a long time?"

"What...... What, I'm already an adult. Looking sideways at his brother, Sasuke's face turned red, although he refused on his lips, but when the eldest brother squatted down in front of him, Sasuke still hugged his brother with a red face, lying on the eldest brother's back, and was very, very happy in his heart.

"That Naruto is a disciple of Maitkai Shinobi, and even I feel ashamed of Maitkai's physical skills. So, don't fight with him for strength and speed, the sword moves are varied, pull up his flaws, and then find the gap to defeat the enemy. ”

"Hmm. Brother, sooner or later I will defeat him. Sticking to his brother's warm back, Sasuke said with his eyes closed.

"I know. I believe in you, Sasuke......"

The eldest brother is like a father, and there is an older brother who is much older than himself (five years old) and is almost perfect in every way, and it is difficult not to develop attachment in his heart, at least, Sasuke is still closer to the eldest brother who is gentle and generous and willing to give up the task for his opening ceremony.

"By the way, when you just left, Naruto told you not to forget anything?"

"Hey, it's nothing, that guy likes to be lively and likes to party, the two of us agreed that if I lose to him in the sword competition, I will call someone from the Uchiha family to his house for a party."

"In this way, it's very much in line with Kaishang's lively character." Listening to this, Uchiha Itachi didn't think it was strange and didn't think much about it.

On the other side, on the secret training ground, after Sasuke left, Ninji began to fight Naruto.

In fact, from the beginning, this sparring was a wheel battle, Naruto and Sasuke competed in swordsmanship, and Ningji compared boxing, after Sasuke and Ningji were knocked down, the other person picked up, but even so, the two young geniuses of Konoha Village joined forces, and they couldn't defeat Naruto.

Originally, it was the innate Chajinla physique of the Vortex clan, superimposed on the internal circulation system of the source of the Qi body, and superimposed on the energy of the nine-tailed Chatunla, even if you feel tired, you can recover refreshed and fierce between breaths, and it can be said that you are the type that is not afraid of fighting a protracted battle in wheel warfare.

(If I want to fight against Uchiha Itachi, as long as I cultivate to the point where I don't get disabled by him in an instant, I can win, of course, it's hard to do, Uchiha Itachi's instantaneous output ability is probably ranked first-line in the entire Hokage world.) ）

Fighting against Hinata's Ningji, because the other party has been put over several times, his mental strength and physical strength are very depleted, so Naruto can be distracted like this.

However, Naruto's distraction, Ninji felt it, his eyes narrowed, his body flashed, and his feet took two steps sideways, moving diagonally.

At the same time, Ning Ji's arms flipped over, and his fingers were like knives, as if he was shaking a spear flower, stabbing out, hitting Naruto's shoulder and neck up, and Naruto's waist and kidneys down.

Because he has carried enough chakra, and his hand knife has broken the wind, it is as sinister as a poisonous snake out of a hole!

"I'll go, are you really here?"

The shoulder, neck, waist and kidneys were attacked, and Naruto's scalp was numb, and he had to take a step back, but at the same time he twisted his arms inward, and those two arms were like two thick and invisible steel cables, whirring.

Ning Ji's extremely sharp hand knife was touched by Naruto's arms, and it suddenly felt as if the extremely sharp thin knife had touched a solid iron lock, and if he slashed in, his arm would be broken, and he had to quickly retreat with the advantage of his moves.

However, Naruto refused to relax and made one move after another!

He stepped forward, and the whole person seemed to have suddenly grown a lot taller in the process of rushing forward, and his arm was wheeled up along the midline of the human body, as if he was rotating a big axe, and slashed towards Ning Ci's head, exhaling, breaking the wind.

Ning Ci couldn't dodge and seal his hands to protect his head, so he had no choice but to block this split, and then look for an opportunity to wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

However, under this split, the two of them exchanged elbows, and Ning Ji immediately felt a sharp pain in his arm, and was smashed by Naruto's elbow that could not hold the shelf, and fell backwards to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

In Jin Yong's martial arts world, there is always a setting, that is, if you practice your internal skills well, when you practice the world's martial arts, you can often greatly improve your cultivation efficiency.

Like in the Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer, the masters of the Ming Sect in the past dynasties could not practice well in the Great Shift, and Zhang Wuji, who had achieved great achievements in Jiuyang, only needed a few hours to cultivate this set of divine skills to the peak realm that the previous sect masters could not cultivate.

Now, Naruto is cultivating the internal and external exercises of the Dao Gate obtained from Taiyin, and it is also the same as Zhang Wuji's cultivation of the Nine Yang Divine Skills, he has successfully cultivated these internal and external exercises of the Dao Gate, and then cultivating all the physical arts and ninjutsu will get twice the result with half the effort, and he will soon be able to cultivate to a realm that is difficult for others to achieve in their lifetimes.

Naruto practiced the Sealing Yuan Breath Technique and the Daohua Iron Cloth Shirt, and the internal and external muscles and bones of his body were slowly cultivated to be as soft as cotton and as strong as iron, superimposed on the internal strength and blood of the Qi body, and the strength increased, although Ning Ci had white eyes, every time he touched Naruto's arm, he felt that he was smashing against the iron rod.

Therefore, if you can not accept the move, you will not accept the move, and if you can avoid it, but in this way, the advantage of the change of moves brought by the white eye is basically negated.

Naruto fought the Konoha Stream basic body technique that Maitkai admired, one punch and one kick were upright and simple, and Ning Ji could see every move clearly, but he just couldn't take it, he couldn't stop it, he couldn't crack it, and he couldn't fight the enemy.

After losing again, even Ning Ci's mentality completely collapsed, plus Sasuke was gone, and he didn't even have anyone to change from, so he sat on the ground for a long time and didn't get up.

"Okay, okay, I won't practice against you, I'll do what you explain." With trembling hands, he got up from the grass where he was sitting, and then Ninji also left, and Naruto also explained to him exactly the same request as Sasuke: if he loses the battle, he will call the juniors of the Hyuga family to Maitkai's house in a few days and hold a birthday party for Li Luo.

A few days later, Maitkai was at home.

Under the call and leadership of Sasuke Uchiha and Hyuga Ninji, a bunch of good-looking little cool brothers, little beauties and a bunch of white-eyed Zhengtai Lori came to Maitkai's house.

Because it is a wealthy family, it is of course easy to marry a civilian beauty and handsome guy, so over the years, the average appearance of these two ethnic groups is quite high.

At first, when the people of the two clans got together, they didn't talk much, but Naruto had already prepared piles of food, drinks, and games, and of course these foods and drinks could not have been prepared by Naruto himself, but ordered the shops he had invested in to make them and send them over.

Among the many delicacies is the fragrant stew of beef with potatoes, which has been stewed into a puree and the beef is soft and rotten.

Salmon fried in lard, slices are fragrant and delicious.

There are steaming and fragrant roasted rabbit legs gathered in the basin, and the taste of the simple rabbit meat is a bit bland, so these rabbit legs are marinated in advance, so they are full of flavor, and the surface of these rabbit legs is coated with honey, so they become golden and attractive after roasting.

After the main dish, there is a delicious fish soup, which is made by frying the carp, garlic and chives together until golden brown, then removing the pieces of fish, and then adding tomatoes, parsley and plump white mushrooms to the pot, and after simmering with the fish head and bones, the fish soup turns a thick deep red.

The final dessert is the acorn pudding, which is infused with honey and goat's milk, which is a little firmer than the usual pudding, but not at all as smooth as it should be......

It's just a group of children, after having a hearty meal of Naruto's meal prepared for them, and then playing board games that they have never played before, and in the midst of laughter, the ice brought by the estrangement between the Uchiha and Hinata adults melts among the children.

Sasuke and Ningji are all extremely trustworthy people who will not easily agree to anything, but as long as they promise, then they will do their best, so the number of children of the two clans they brought is really a lot, and the mansion of the Maitkai family can barely fit, Naruto guides them to play in it, even the arrogant Sasuke, even the young and old Hinata Ningji, under the guidance of Naruto, they are gradually involved in it, and Hinata, Li Luo, and Tian Tian are not to mention, the craziest and happiest ones are the few of them.

It was getting dark.

Amid the laughter in the room, Naruto smiled and walked out of the room with an indifferent look in his eyes, taking out a notebook and writing and drawing, on which were words that only he could read.

"No matter how much I try to deduce it, I can't save the fate of the Uchiha clan from extinction. If you want to save the Uchiha clan, unless you cross before the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and then have enough strength to keep the four generations alive, there are four generations of people who are in the prime of life, have extraordinary personal strength, and do not discriminate against the Uchiha, the Uchiha clan will neither dare to give birth to rebellion, nor will it give birth to rebellion. ”

"Although there is nothing wrong with the three generations, he is too old and his strength is constantly declining...... In other words, in his position, being weak is a big mistake. Aging brings weakness, and it is no longer possible to suppress and reconcile the contradictions within Konoha. ”

Is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty strong?

Because of old age, it brings weakness, and it is no longer possible to suppress domestic contradictions, and in later years, there is a witch rebellion.

The third generation of the Hokage, the Ape Flying Sun Slash, is also a similar problem, if it is the peak of the generation of ninja, whether it is Danzo or Uchiha, the Ape Flying Sun Slash can be suppressed, and the contradiction will not intensify. Ape Fei Ri Chop Legend is located in the Bo Feng Shui Gate, and it is also a correct move, there is a not yet completely aged Ape Fei Ri Chop helped him on the horse, and walked on the road, with the excellent quality of the Bo Feng Shui Gate, he can completely press the Tuan Zang and the Uchiha clan to obey.

In fact, it is also a good choice to be located in Orochimaru, but Orochimaru's heart is dark, and his ability is not inferior to Bo Feng Shuimen, but after he has been in power for many years, it is likely that he will lead Konoha to war, or no one can guess where he will lead Konoha to.

And the stability and glory and a hundred years of peace that Bo Feng Shuimen can bring to Konoha are almost predictable...... If he doesn't die.

"At the very beginning of Bo Feng Shuimen's reign, it was true that Ape Fei Ri Chop did not completely leave it alone, but held a considerable amount of power, but, I am afraid this is also what the four generations themselves are willing to see, Bo Feng Shuimen, who was born in a civilian, no matter how strong his personal ability is and how outstanding his personal charm is, it is impossible for him to subdue the older generation of Tuanzang, the same generation as his master, Orochimaru, and even the Uchiha, Hyuga and other wealthy families in a short period of time."

"Bo Feng Shuimen itself also needs Ape Fei Ri to escort him for a few years, when the Hokage needs a political power game, not to be an emperor, see who is unhappy and push it out directly, even if you engage in political assassination, it will cause chaos, and it is not in line with the character of Bo Feng Shuimen."

"The Uchiha clan is probably because of the relationship between the blood and the boundaries of the writing wheels, and the family characteristics are arrogant and extreme. With such a big authority as a normal family in charge of the Konoha Konoha garrison, it is completely possible to obtain the vassals of countless small families, but in the hands of the Uchiha clan, there is only one function left for TM to offend people. Countless people want to kneel and lick it, but Uchiha dislikes people and is disgusting, and he is forced to become hostile. ”

"The same is true of Tuan Zang, his mind is too dark towards reality, in fact, the person who really wants to become the supreme leader, the gloomy mind is indispensable, but blindly gloomy, counting from the male lords of all dynasties in Chinese history, one is counted as one, Taizu, Yuanzhang, Zhao Kuangyin, which one is not very charismatic? Which one is the one who is the one who calculates against others in the corner of the wall? ”

"The Uchiha clan itself has problems, coupled with the fact that Danzang is vigorously provoking, the most important thing is that there is no strong enough and authoritative Hokage to suppress it, which has led to the development of Uchiha's rebellious intent to the present, which is simply difficult to return, irrepressible, and irretrievable. At least, I really can't think of a way. Thinking about this, Naruto put down the pen in his hand with some helplessness.

Exterminating the Uchiha is imperative, and if you don't destroy it in advance, it will be equivalent to Konoha bursting with a bomb.

And from Uchiha Itachi's point of view, he seems to have two options: 1. Together with the people, rebel against Konoha. 2. Accept the Konoha mission and exterminate the Uchiha.

First of all, the path of rebelling against Konoha with the people of the clan will not work at all, because there is absolutely no possibility of success.

The Uchiha clan is very strong, it is the first wealthy clan in Konoha Yes, but counting the old, weak, sick, disabled and young, there are more than a thousand clansmen, and the earth country in the north Iwa Shinobi can take out 10,000 ninja troops to besiege the three generations of Thunder Shadow during the third ninja war, as the strongest hidden village in the five major countries, the number of ninjas is 20,000, even if the country of fire is removed, counting the old, weak, sick and disabled Konoha can also get 10,000 ninja troops once it is a matter of life and death.

And without the extinction ninjutsu, how can the Uchiha win?

And the most terrible thing is that Uchiha thought that his rebellion was secretive and unknown to no one outside the clan, but Uchiha Itachi was clear, and Uchiha's rebellion plan was clear from beginning to tail Konoha high-level officials.

If it is a covert rebellion, then the Uchiha still has the possibility of winning this war, but if it is the other way around, it is originally a weak attack on the strong, and no one has done a good job in intelligence work, then this battle does not need to be fought at all, and the result can be known.

Sarutobi Hizashi commented that Itachi was able to think like the Hokage when he was 7 years old, what does it mean to think like the Hokage?

That is, not dominated by emotions, calmly, objectively and rationally make the most correct choice, even if this choice is extremely cruel.

Itachi, who knew very well that Uchiha's rebellion had no possibility of success at all, had two choices in front of him: 1. Choose to die with his parents. 2. Accept the mission of Konoha to keep his younger brother and leave a little hope for the future of Uchiha to revivenation.

From Naruto's point of view, even if he is really good at deduction and empathy, he really can't appreciate Itachi's mood when he makes a choice.

Don't just think that only you love your parents, you love your relatives, friends, and the girl next door. Don't think that you can make a choice based on your emotions just in the moment, how noble it is, that kind of thing can be done by animals, and you can change anyone at will.

Human emotions are not connected, and from the Uchiha Itachi's point of view, I am afraid that I only feel that the disturbances of the world are very noisy.

The Uchiha clan is extinguished.

Parents, it's dead.

…… So, it's like Sasuke has a clean reputation on his back and resents me, so let's live.

Uchiha Itachi may be sorry for everyone, but he is definitely worthy of Sasuke, everyone can hate and spit on this man, but Uchiha Sasuke cannot.

In addition, one more point to note: Except for the ninja Shura, almost most of the Uchiha clan are assassins and mages with strong instantaneous explosive ability, but their ability to sustain combat is relatively weak.

The twelve-year-old Uchiha Itachi may have the strength to approach the shadow level, and even kill the shadow level, but his body and chakra amount cannot bear him like the three generations of Thunder Shadow, with one enemy and ten thousand, sweeping vertically and horizontally, the three generations of Thunder Shadow can support three days and three nights in the face of 10,000 ninja troops, Uchiha Itachi plus his father Uchiha Fugaku, in the face of 10,000 ninja troops, his eyes are bursting, and it is enough to support a day and a night.

The Uchiha Itachi at his peak may be able to defeat the three generations of Thunder Shadow, but this does not mean that what the three generations of Thunder Shadow can do, he can also do.

Three generations of Thunder Shadow Fist stand on the man, and the arm runs on the horse, he doesn't look like a ninja.

…………

Late at night, in the Hokage's office.

"Lord Sandaime, Naruto Uzumaki invited the young men of the Hyuga and Uchiha clans, led by Hinata Ninji and Uchiha Sasuke, to meet at the residence of Maitkai Kamishinobi."

"Here's the situation, please take a look." A shadow ninja wearing an animal painting tool appears at Sarutobi's side, handing over a bundle of scrolls with both hands.

After reviewing a document, Ape Fei Ri Slash reached out and took it, opened it, and read it carefully.

"Isn't this nothing, Naruto cultivates weekdays, and it's normal for him to like to drink and feast and be lively."

"Danzo-sama said: There is too much intersection between the human pillar force and the Uchiha clan, and it is very dangerous!"

In his eyes, whether he has the intention of rebelling against Konoha or not, as long as he has the power to rebel against Konoha, it is very dangerous. Don't pay attention to him, according to his wishes, we Konoha have to abolish most of our strength in the civil war first. ”

After the shadow ninja stepped back, Sarutobi stood up and stretched his muscles in front of the window, in his opinion, Naruto's preferences are normal, he was always left out when he was young, and when he grows up, he has the ability, and liking to make more friends is also a compensatory psychology.

Even Sarutobi didn't really understand the deep meaning behind what Naruto did, and the secretive Danzo vaguely guessed something, but in fact, even he didn't really think that a seven-year-old child had already consciously managed his own team.
