I defected before Genocide Night

…

After waiting for a long time at the Ichiraku Ramen House, and after it was completely dark, Taki saw Naruto passing by the noodle shop quietly, looking like he was drooling with greed, and he poked his head at the Ichiraku Ramen House from time to time.

"Goo!"

The growling of his stomach told Naruto that it was time for dinner, but there was only expired milk and some cup noodles at home.

Or go fishing in the river? Naruto hesitated.

Taki waved towards the outside of the noodle shop, "Come here, then. I have a question to ask you. If you answer it correctly, I can treat you to ramen."

"Really?" Naruto's eyes lit up, and he ran over in a hurry, regardless of whether he could answer the question correctly.

"What is your dream?" Taki opened his mouth with a famous line often asked by great philosophers. Under normal circumstances, only Orochimaru would say such false and empty words.

"Of course it's Hokage!" Naruto said without hesitation: "I, Naruto Uzumaki, am the man who wants to become Hokage."

"Why do you want to be Hokage?" Taki asked with a smile again.

"In order to..." Naruto thought carefully, rubbed the back of his head and smiled sheepishly: "In order to let everyone recognize me!"

"Then why do you want to gain everyone's approval?" Taki instantly transformed into a hundred thousand whys and kept asking this question.

"They all said I was a fox demon and hated me..." Naruto thought of the scene when he had no companions and was alienated by everyone, and the more he spoke, the softer his voice became.

Seeing that his mood was getting lower and lower, Taki smiled and said: "Okay, now that the questions are over, you can eat noodles."

Naruto immediately cheered: "Okay!"

He jumped up and landed on the seat next to Taki, picked up his chopsticks and smacked the noodle bowl he had just brought out.

"Ah - the most delicious thing in the world is Ichiraku Ramen." After swallowing half the bowl of noodles in one breath, Naruto raised his head, narrowed his eyes with a smile, and burped.

Taki held his head and looked at him: "If there is a chance, I will treat you to food again!"

Naruto's eyes lit up as he touched his belly: "Really?"

Taki was about to nod when suddenly a kunai flew from nowhere and hit his head accurately.

Naruto was sucking the noodle bowl, but he didn't expect that the kind brother next to him spurted blood and died suddenly, and a stream of plasma splashed into the noodle bowl he was swallowing.

Naruto was not very courageous to begin with. When he left the village for the first time on a mission in the original time and space, he was unable to react to some scenes. In the end, it was all thanks to Sasuke to hold him up.

At this time, he was many years younger than when he was a genin in the original time and space, and his mental quality was also worse. When he saw his brother, who had been having a good conversation just now, leaning on the table with his head tilted, he couldn't help but tremble.

"He's dead!" civilians screamed around him.

"Why... why?" Why is this happening? Naruto sat blankly, looking at the chaotic scene in front of him with a confused expression.

At this time, some of the ninjas who were originally wandering around quickly swooped over to gather information.

The surrounding civilians retreated voluntarily, and ninjas kept coming to watch, but Naruto remained standing there.

After several ninjas carefully inspected the body, they discovered that the owner of the body was just a civilian from outside, not a person from the Leaf Village.

"This person is very unfamiliar!"

"Appears to be a civilian."

…

The ninja who inspected the corpse recorded these subtle pieces of information.

"This kunai is so fast that you can't see clearly!" Uchiha Taki, who was crowded in the crowd, exclaimed.

After he discovered the spy from another village, he wanted to kill him.

But because he didn't like to wear the family uniform with a table tennis racket on it, the spy didn't know that he was from the Uchiha clan. Instead, Taki easily countered it with illusions.

Use genjutsu to subdue the spy and make him look like himself to approach Naruto, attracting the main force of Konoha and testing Konoha's attitude.

Taki's idea is very beautiful, he just wants to attract the attention of Konoha's high-level officials and facilitate his defection.

Of course, he tried to get close to Naruto because he wanted to see whether Konoha would show some restraint in its attitude toward the Uchiha clan during this critical period.

But now, Konoha's wariness towards the Uchiha clan, especially its attitude towards preventing Uchiha from controlling the Kyuubi, was beyond his expectation.

Just inviting Naruto to eat ramen will lead to death? Or is it because in the eyes of ANBU ninjas, the one who comes into contact with Naruto happens to be him who has been more active recently?

Fortunately, the consequences of the attempt are not his own responsibility.

"Fortunately it wasn't me who went there!" Taki gloated for a while.

At this time, the commotion at the scene attracted the attention of more ninjas. The top management of Konoha, who were still in a meeting to discuss whether to destroy the Uchiha in advance, also came over at this time.

"Who is the person who fell on the ground?" Sandai stepped forward and casually asked the person responsible for examining the body.

"It's a strange face. He was trying to get close to the Jinchuuriki by pretending to be Uchiha Taki." The silver-haired ANBU responsible for guarding Naruto explained clearly. He had also projected the fatal kunai just now.

The third generation pondered: "He used the transformation technique to become Uchiha Taki?"

"Yes!" The silver-haired ANBU nodded.

"Disguised as a civilian and sneaked into Konoha, and transformed into Taki of the Uchiha clan to get close to the Jinchuuriki... Why did he do this?" Other insiders, including the Sandaime, were also thinking about the key points.

Itachi appeared at this time, squatted down and inspected the body, and said, "This man was under a genjutsu before he died!"

"What?" Sandai was a little surprised and looked at Uchiha Itachi: "Is this true?"

Itachi said calmly: "Compared with normal corpses, there will be differences in the nerve ending system of the eyes of corpses that died after being hit by the ninja's genjutsu!"

The third generation closed his eyes and thought for a while, then turned to Itachi and asked again: "Is Uchiha Taki proficient in genjutsu?"

Itachi shook his head: "I don't know!"

"That's it!" Sandai took out the pipe from nowhere. After taking a puff, he said with a serious face: "Itachi, you are from the Uchiha clan and are familiar with illusions. Please be responsible for finding Uchiha Taki.

, and brought him to me."

If Uchiha Taki had not done all this, then Taki would have followed Itachi obediently. On the contrary, if Uchiha Taki was not willing to come over to see the third generation no matter what, then they would need more things.

Itachi felt a little uneasy in his heart, "Did Taki do this? Did Uchiha Taki use genjutsu to kill this civilian?"

No, the deceased was not a civilian, but a spy ninja who had sneaked into the village.

But is it true that the Uchiha clan still cannot integrate into Konoha?

Itachi gradually became disappointed in his heart. He could not refuse Sandai's order and immediately set out to look for it.

"Kakashi, your ninja dog should remember the scent of Uchiha Taki, you and Itachi go together!" Seeing Uchiha Itachi's face was very serious, the third generation immediately asked Kakashi to follow him.

After giving the instructions, Sandai returned to the scene, looked at the corpse and sighed helplessly: "Find out the identity of this person, and if you want to follow up, please comfort his family."

If this person has family in Konoha.

Finally, the third generation's attention shifted to Naruto next to him.

Looking at Naruto standing beside him blankly, he said kindly: "Little guy, you must be scared."

Naruto turned his head, looked at Sandai, shook his head, and opened his mouth. He wanted to ask Sandai who killed the brother who invited him to eat ramen and the reason for killing him, but in the end, Naruto left the ramen shop in silence.

The scene of blood splattering into the bowl just now made him feel hard to calm down, not because of fear, but because of an indescribable shock.

The ninja who was chatting and laughing with him a second ago was assassinated by others in just a moment.

Is this the life of a ninja? Naruto couldn't understand it.

At the same time, an orange chakra gradually covered his body surface.

"Yes, that's it. The power of evil will slowly penetrate and corrode your heart." Kyuubi, who was sealed in the cage, opened his eyes.

…

At the entrance of Konoha village, a cloaked figure walked out of the village.

The two chunin responsible for guarding the gate came forward and asked: "You left the village late at night, what is your certificate for leaving the village?"

The figure slowly opened the Sharingan, pulled off the hood covering his head, and when he looked at the two chuunin, he shouted, "Sharingan, genjutsu!"

"This is - Sharingan...eye..." The two chuunin fell to the ground in unison.
