Today's ninja school is much later than usual.

If I wait until I get home, I will probably miss dinner. I don't know if my mother will blame me.

Young Sasuke looked at the darkening sky, and looked back at the empty ninja school. He couldn't help wondering why he was the last one to come out in a blink of an eye?

These laggards, who don't take classes seriously, run faster than each other after school.

Especially that guy called Naruto.

They are obviously the most useless among the laggards, but they come here all day to challenge me. It's really meaningless.

Little Sasuke snorted disdainfully, then turned around and continued to walk towards the family.

Because he was eager to go home, he soon returned to the gathering place of the Uchiha clan.

But.

Why?

Why did it get dark so quickly today?

Why did everyone disappear?

Little Sasuke stepped into the clan land with some uneasiness. However, the gathering place that used to be quite lively was now closed by every household. There was no sound at all, as if he had entered a ghost village that had been abandoned for many years.

No!

Something must have happened!

Sasuke became more and more uneasy and ran towards home in a panic.

His father and brother were both very powerful ninjas, and they would be fine.

However, things did not go as he wished.

When he opened the door, he saw the bodies of his parents!

Just as he was terrified, a familiar figure walked in front of him, holding a short knife, and the blood was not dry!

No!!!

All this is an illusion!

It's all fake!

"My stupid brother!"

The Sharingan in the shadow slowly rotated and turned into a windmill pattern.

"I must kill you!"

Sasuke let out a shrill roar.

Then, the scene suddenly turned, and Sasuke found that he suddenly "woke up".

Before he could figure out what was going on, a voice in his ear made him quickly alert.

"Are you Uchiha Sasuke?"

The kind and gentle voice with indifference woke Sasuke up.

Sasuke opened his eyes in a daze, and what came into his sight was an old face, the third Hokage.

"Hokage-sama!"

Sasuke struggled to get up and salute, but found that he was weak all over.

"No need to be polite, I just came here to tell you something."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was gentle and emotionless. Sasuke didn't know why, but he panicked.

"You were hit by Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō illusion, and you should have died mentally, but it seems that you survived."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of cigarette and continued to speak regardless of Sasuke's mood.

"Except for you, all members of the Uchiha clan died at the hands of Uchiha Itachi, including civilians."

"What? What?!"

Sasuke's eyes widened, still in disbelief, and then he thought of the pair of eyes he looked at at that time, and fainted.

"Just a magatama?"

"It seems that it is not anger, hatred or family affection."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took another puff of cigarette in a calm tone, and then ordered.

"Take good care of him."

Anger. Hatred. Family affection?

Sasuke looked at himself lying on the bed and then looked at the Hokage who was leaving. It seems that he was not completely unconscious at the time, but he still heard what the Hokage said in his subconscious.

But what do these three words represent?

Also, is it really good for the Hokage to say the bad news so bluntly? Sasuke, who was watching, complained in his heart.

Before Sasuke could think clearly, the picture turned again.

This time it was a continuous picture.

The content of the picture was Sasuke's crazy training for revenge.

Until I graduated from the Ninja School, until...

"If you don't want to lose to anyone, you must first recognize your own weakness!"

"You are just a puppet of revenge!"

The ridiculous last-place student actually said such words to me!

Do you know how much hardship I have paid for these? !

Sasuke began to practice even harder.

"What are you practicing for?"

One day, Sasuke pretended to be indifferent and asked.

"I practice for the future!"

"What future?"

"Hehe, you won't understand, Sasuke!"

"Tsk, say it or not."

"That is a future where everyone is equal, there will be no war and hunger!"

Naruto slowly stretched out his hand, trying to grab the sun in the sky.

"Tsk, you are just a last-place student, what are you daydreaming about!"

Sasuke curled his lips in disdain, turned away, and practiced even harder.

How could a last-place student like him accomplish such a thing? In the end, he still has to rely on me, right?

Gradually, he finally caught up with Naruto, until he stood beside him and stood shoulder to shoulder with him..

But...

Naruto's figure quickly disappeared again, leaving only a bone knife stuck in the ground with scars all over it.

All this has just begun.

Is it over just because of a ridiculous exam?

Orochimaru!

I will never, ever let you go!

Dark purple chakra slowly emerged from Sasuke's body.

...

On the top of the Hokage Building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, as usual, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery of Konoha.

"Hokage-sama."

A ANBU wearing a black combat uniform suddenly appeared behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"What's the matter?"

"It's like this, the garrison personnel of the Fire Temple found traces of a large number of corpses being stolen, but because the garrison's strength is insufficient, they... want to ask for help from the village."

The ANBU quickly recounted the whole story, probably finding a tomb-robbing gang, but the garrison personnel could not beat them.

"Grave robbery?"

What's so good about the tombs in the Fire Temple?

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent after hearing this and began to think.

First of all, the number of corpses in the tombs is relatively large, so the Impure World Reincarnation can be basically ruled out. After all, using this technique to resurrect some weak people is completely not worth the loss.

And the tomb robbers can rob any other tombs. Apart from anything else, isn't the Uchiha tomb group here much stronger than the Fire Temple?

But the other party just wants to go to the Fire Temple.

Then the other party must have a great connection with the Fire Temple.

So... is the daimyo trying to do something during this Chunin Exam?

Protect the Twelve Ninjas.

"Let's do this. Let Shimura Aki take his own team to deal with this matter. Ryoma, you are responsible for monitoring him and can also help when necessary."

"Yes! Hokage!"

Aburame Ryoma nodded and then disappeared in an instant.

"Dai-myo, what are you thinking about?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his gaze towards the direction of the Fire Country capital.

The Daimyo of this term is too narrow-minded. He is almost dying, but he always finds trouble for himself.

It seems that I have to find an opportunity to change the Daimyo of the Fire Country.

Or, what bargaining chips do they want to use to exchange the pseudo-Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Kong back?

Hmm...

The Guardian Twelve Ninjas, the pseudo-Nine-Tails, the Chunin Exam, and Orochimaru.

Why did these guys suddenly gather together?

Did they discover my plan?
