Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens

"This is your younger sister. From now on, she will live with you."

Uchiha Mikoto, looking official, pulled the little one in front of her. Her expression changed, and she said softly, "Izumi, he is your older brother. Now that you've returned to the Uchiha clan, live with him from now on. If he dares to bully you, come find Aunt Mikoto."

"Th-thank you, Aunt Mikoto," the little one said, feeling uneasy but still mustered the courage to bow to Uchiha Mikoto.

Naturally, Rofu recognized the identity of this little one.

Uchiha Izumi.

A quite talented girl who walked the path of a taijutsu ninja, and a little genius who awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan at the age of thirteen.

It's just a pity that in the future night of the Uchiha massacre, this girl, who originally had budding feelings for Uchiha Itachi, died tragically at the hands of Uchiha Obito.

What Rofu couldn't understand was why Uchiha Mikoto would send such a little one to him. More importantly, it seemed like his predecessor hadn't had any relatives for three generations. Where did this younger sister come from?

Moreover, if she really was his younger sister, her generation should be the same as his. Facing Uchiha Fugaku, she would only call him 'cousin.' Why did Uchiha Mikoto call herself 'auntie'?

The generations were all wrong.

Uchiha Mikoto clearly had no intention of explaining to Rofu. After instructing the little one, Uchiha Izumi, she left directly.

Rofu knew that he had stood by during the Nine-Tailed Fox incident, and Uchiha Mikoto, because of the tragedy of her best friend's family of three being separated by death, was pettily taking her anger out on him.

However, in Rofu's view, Uchiha Mikoto's performance was probably not so much genuine emotion as it was a further test of Rofu.

Just like her action of sending this little one to him now.

Rofu's threat within the Root base had already caused Konoha and the Uchiha to develop the idea of having him establish bonds between the village and the clan.

And after the Nine-Tailed Fox incident, Konoha, which had suffered heavy losses, could even less afford the cost of offending a lone wolf like Rofu.

On the one hand, sending this so-called younger sister over was to allow Rofu to establish bonds with the clan and the village. On the other hand, Uchiha Mikoto deliberately used such a performance to test Rofu's temperament.

It had to be admitted that the so-called ninjas were really not reckless fools like Naruto Uzumaki without brains.

At least none of the ninjas Rofu had seen were lacking in intelligence.

Rofu was too lazy to pay attention to Uchiha Mikoto's test.

Anyway, he was destined to leave Konoha depending on the situation before the night of the massacre.

If Rofu stayed, then with Konoha's current strength, it might not really have the courage to exterminate the Uchiha with Rofu present.

His mind only flashed through how to deal with Uchiha Mikoto and the village.

Rofu's gaze quickly fell on the little one in front of him.

As a Jonin of Konoha and a member of the Uchiha clan, Rofu's residence was a small courtyard with a single-family house located within the clan grounds. It was a bit similar to a detached house.

Even if a few more people came, there was no need to worry about not having enough space.

But Rofu first had to figure out how this little one, Uchiha Izumi, was regarded as his younger sister by the Uchiha clan and sent to him.

Although Uchiha Izumi was very young, she had obviously been told about their relationship by the Uchiha clan before being sent over.

The reason she was able to marry out was because Uchiha Hazuki herself and her parents were people without ninja qualifications, unable to even awaken the Sharingan.

Uchiha members who didn't even have ninja qualifications were almost the most marginalized existence within the clan.

For example, Uchiha Takeo, the owner of the pancake shop, and his wife, Uchiha Kome, apart from the Uchiha surname, they were no different from ordinary civilians in Konoha Village.

And Uchiha Hazuki had also fallen to this point before choosing to marry out.

Originally, Uchiha Hazuki had not died in the Nine-Tailed Fox incident, but her husband had died. Coincidentally, Uchiha Izumi was found to have ninja qualifications, so the mother and daughter were re-accepted by the Uchiha clan.

But he didn't know if it was because of Rofu's appearance. On the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox incident, Uchiha Hazuki, a cousin Rofu had no impression of, died together with her husband that night.

Uchiha Izumi, who had become an orphan, did not encounter the fateful Uchiha Itachi that night.

However, because Uchiha Fugaku and his wife wanted to establish a bond for Rofu, they still found Uchiha Izumi in time, and Uchiha Mikoto personally sent her to Rofu.

Having understood the whole story, Rofu hesitated for a moment before quickly deciding to keep this little one who looked uneasy in front of him.

Although it seemed that Uchiha Izumi would be a burden to him, Rofu didn't want to be stared at by the village and the Uchiha at the same time.

Having Uchiha Izumi would be enough to temporarily reduce some of the vigilance of the village and the clan towards him.

This could help Rofu achieve his plan of recruiting a wave of Uchiha.

Of course, more importantly, Uchiha Izumi herself had good aptitude. Since she was able to awaken the Three-Tomoe Sharingan on the path of a taijutsu ninja under the circumstances that she only had a mother and was re-accepted by the Uchiha, then if Rofu spent a little effort to cultivate her, she would at least be a Three-Tomoe ninja.

An Uchiha who could awaken the Three-Tomoe was a leader even among the Jonin.

In other words, Uchiha Izumi had the potential to become a Jonin at the age of thirteen.

Such talent was worth Rofu's investment.

After Rofu took Uchiha Izumi to his home.

Several figures around who had just seemed indifferent suddenly left in a hurry.

Inside the clan leader's residence.

"So, he accepted that little girl named Izumi?" Uchiha Fugaku's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a bit.

Uchiha Mikoto nodded and said, "Through my testing during this period, Rofu doesn't seem to be a truly insane guy. He just... just doesn't care about the clan or the village."

Subconsciously recalling that during the Nine-Tailed Fox incident, Rofu was able to watch the Fourth Hokage's family die.

A sense of worry suddenly arose in Uchiha Mikoto's heart.

"I know what you're worried about," Uchiha Fugaku said with a similarly worried expression, "I am the head of the Uchiha clan. I can accept that Rofu is a true Uchiha, but I cannot accept that he has no bond with the clan. This little girl is not our sacrifice."

Holding his wife's hand, Uchiha Fugaku said, "Believe me, if this girl named Izumi is really in any danger, I will save her from Rofu at all costs."

After a slight pause, Uchiha Fugaku changed the subject and said, "Mikoto, you need to pay attention to this Uchiha Izumi. If... if Rofu really treats this Izumi as his younger sister, then you should let Itachi and Izumi get closer."

Uchiha Mikoto's expression changed drastically in an instant. In her opinion, Uchiha Fugaku's request at this moment was just like the experience of Kushina Uzumaki, Minato Namikaze, and Rofu Uchiha back then.

Back then, Rofu Uchiha and Kushina Uzumaki ultimately missed each other due to the calculations of the village's upper echelons.

And now, her husband seemed to be embarking on the old path of her grandfather, the Uchiha Elder, and the Konoha higher-ups.

Being able to become the wife of the Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Mikoto was not a love-brained person and would not believe in the idea that love can fill one's stomach.

However, this kind of direct arrangement and even manipulation of other people's feelings and lives was ultimately something that Uchiha Mikoto resisted in her heart.

"Fugaku, back then, Rofu and Kushina became like this because of the calculations of grandpa and the elders in the village," Uchiha Mikoto said worriedly.

"I know," Uchiha Fugaku comforted, "I won't be like the Great Elder and the Third Hokage. I just hope that if this Izumi really becomes Rofu's bond, then we can try to see if there is any fate between her and Itachi. Don't worry, apart from arranging for them to have more contact, I won't do anything extra."

Slightly nodding, but for some reason, Uchiha Mikoto always felt that Rofu's eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

Even when Rofu came to congratulate Sasuke's birth before, as a mother, Uchiha Mikoto could clearly feel that Rofu's attitude towards Uchiha Itachi was particularly special.

It was neither closeness nor hostility. It wasn't until after the Nine-Tailed Fox incident that Uchiha Mikoto finally understood what that special way Rofu looked at Uchiha Itachi was all about.

His attitude towards Uchiha Itachi was just like that night when he saw the tragic end of his best friend Kushina's family of three, exactly the same, and even, in Uchiha Itachi, he seemed to have other expectations.

This feeling was purely Uchiha Mikoto's sixth sense in the dark.

Even if she said it, she would probably be laughed at for thinking too much.

The current Uchiha Itachi is just a little bean sprout of only five years old. How could he be worthy of someone like Luo Fu, who has opened the legendary Mangekyo Sharingan, to look at him differently?

Inside the Hokage Building.

After being one step late and learning that Luo Fu had taken in the little girl named Izumi.

Inside the Hokage's office.

Konoha F4 showed smiles at the same time.

From the moment they ascended to high positions, these members of Konoha F4, who had fought countless battles following the Second Hokage and experienced countless bloody battles.

They have gradually transformed into old immortals who now play with people's hearts and engage in conspiracies and tricks. They no longer have the passion they once had.

Compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage who plays with people's hearts, and Danzo Shimura, who always likes conspiracies and tricks, they are still better, at least retaining some of their former bloodiness.

The Third Hokage could face his disciple Orochimaru head-on in the future Chunin Exams. Although his death was indeed a bit cowardly, with Orochimaru as a foil, he at least died as a hero.

Danzo Shimura constantly shouted that everything was for the village, even deceiving himself. However, in life-and-death situations, he also did not lack the courage to perish together.

On the contrary, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane have already become complete waste.

"Danzo."

After breathing a big sigh of relief, Hiruzen Sarutobi instructed Danzo with some worry: "Since Luo Fu has accepted that little girl named Izumi, it means that he is not really without any emotions. The establishment of bonds takes time. I hope that before he and Uchiha Izumi establish a solid bond, you will not do anything unnecessary!"

"Of course, I understand."

Danzo Shimura's face, which had just shown a hint of a smile, quickly turned gloomy again, and he gritted his teeth and said: "After experiencing the war and the Nine-Tails incident, the village now cannot afford the price of an evil Uchiha fighting to the death. Damn it."

Just thinking that he had to endure humiliation in front of an Uchiha.

Danzo Shimura angrily tapped the ground with his cane repeatedly.

Even with only one arm, Danzo Shimura still easily carved several deep and shallow pits on the ground with his cane.

"Hiruzen, I will shrink the Anbu Root. Unless necessary, Root will only defend against enemies outside the village. Also, next, I will try to find a way to restore my arm. You don't have to worry about me attacking that evil Uchiha. I know what is important!"

After receiving Danzo Shimura's guarantee, Hiruzen Sarutobi puffed on his pipe and nodded.

Koharu Utatane on the side was still a little worried and said: "Just a bond with a little girl seems a bit inappropriate. Shouldn't we arrange some other bonds for this Uchiha Luo Fu?"

"Don't do anything unnecessary!!"

Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly said: "Things must be done step by step. When Uchiha Luo Fu and this little girl named Izumi establish a bond, it will be like a solid fortress with a crack pried open. Next, we will let him establish more and deeper bonds with the village."

"I remember, Luo Fu's age seems to be not young, right?"

Homura Mitokado was much smarter.

Feigning a worried look, he said: "Compared to a distant sister, or even someone he had little contact with before, perhaps we should help him establish a complete family. If he has children, I believe that even if he cannot become a supporter of the village or a guardian of the Will of Fire, he will spare no effort for his children."

Danzo Shimura, who had just said that he would shrink the power of Root and would not take any action within the village except against enemies outside the village, instantly had his eyes light up and said: "Mitokado is right. Coincidentally, I have a very suitable candidate on my side, a wandering shrine maiden. She is an excellent spy. If…"

Before Danzo Shimura could launch into a long speech, Hiruzen Sarutobi directly tapped the table with his pipe and said: "Danzo, I just said, don't do anything unnecessary. Have you forgotten why he was prematurely graduated and sent to the battlefield of the Second Shinobi World War?"

"But… but Mitokado is right."

Danzo Shimura said somewhat unwillingly: "Compared to a distant sister, a family is a more stable bond."

Looking deeply at Danzo Shimura, Hiruzen Sarutobi said: "Even so, we cannot act rashly. Believe me, I have a feeling that if we try to arrange someone to establish a bond with Luo Fu in this way, once he finds out, I'm afraid he will risk everything to become an enemy of the village."

"Damn it! An evil Uchiha, do we have to always swallow our anger like this? Is this still the Konoha built by the First Hokage? Is the Will of Fire no longer important?"

Danzo Shimura stomped his feet in anger.

"That can't be helped."

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and said: "The village cannot afford the consequences of fighting an enemy who has awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan."

"I think it's not necessarily necessary to arrange it directly."

Koharu Utatane suddenly thought of something and said: "We can contact Fugaku Uchiha and let Luo Fu have more contact with the excellent female ninjas in the village through indirect means. Bonds are often established inadvertently and firmly bind the two together."

"This method is feasible."

After pondering for a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded. He said: "We can only push things along; we must never arrange everything. There are lessons from the past."

After deciding on the matter of arranging more bonds for Luo Fu, Hiruzen Sarutobi changed the subject and said: "How is the investigation into Kushina's body going?"

"According to the situation investigated by Root at the scene, when Minato died, there should have been other people present beside him!!"

Danzo Shimura said: "The body of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was likely taken away by those people."

"Have you investigated who those people are?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.

Shaking his head, Danzo Shimura said: "My Root arrived too late and did not directly see those people. However, many ninjas in the village have been in contact with those people. Perhaps we can investigate the identities of these people through this point."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment and said: "I will make arrangements. I also saw those guys who seemed to have gone to the scene and took away Kushina's body that night! Those people were wearing black robes and had no obvious markings, but these people… are very strange. When I fought them, I felt like these people were using Sunagakure's puppet techniques. These people all carried some decorations that looked like black short sticks. These things that seem to be decorations must have other uses. Root's next direction of investigation should be inclined towards this aspect."

"Hiruzen, you saw them?"

Danzo Shimura asked in surprise: "If that's the case, then why didn't you stop them?"

His face darkened, Hiruzen Sarutobi refilled his pipe, lit it with Fire Release, and then said faintly: "I fought the Nine-Tails with all my strength at that time. By the time I arrived at the scene, I was already at the end of my rope. I would also like to ask, where was your Root that night?"

"I…"

Danzo Shimura was immediately choked and defended: "My Root was monitoring the Uchiha clan that night, and almost all the strong members of Root died in the hands of that evil Uchiha Luo Fu a few months ago. Even I have been reduced to a one-armed man. Even if I wanted to help, I would be powerless."

"Hiruzen, now is not the time to investigate each other's responsibilities. A sudden organization that appeared in Konoha and even took away the body of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, could it be related to the Uchiha who caused the Nine-Tails incident?"

Koharu Utatane asked worriedly.

"How many people in the entire village have seen the Sharingan of the Nine-Tails at that time? Does it need to be asked? It must be the evil Uchiha."

Danzo Shimura said indignantly: "If I hadn't failed to find direct evidence, I would even suspect that the Nine-Tails was released by this Luo Fu. Who knows what strange pupil techniques this Luo Fu has after awakening the Mangekyo?"

"There is no need to suspect Luo Fu on this point!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said: "After I was attacked in Lake Biwa, I arrived at the delivery room in just a few seconds. Although I didn't see the process of releasing the Nine-Tails with my own eyes, Minato said that this guy is very different from Luo Fu in all aspects. It can't be Luo Fu."

"Then if that's the case, the Uchiha are still hiding someone who possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan, is full of hatred for the village, and has even put it into action."

Danzo Shimura immediately felt a sense of urgency.

An arrogant and domineering Luo Fu, who possesses the Mangekyo, already gave them a headache, forcing them to compromise with each other. Now, another more evil Uchiha has emerged, who has even attacked the village, taking advantage of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's childbirth to release the Nine-Tailed Fox, ravaging the entire village.

Mito Mon'en pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Let's investigate thoroughly first. The village really can't withstand any more turmoil right now."

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Rebellion seemed to have only resulted in the death of the Fourth Hokage, the Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze, and didn't seem to have caused much damage to the village.

But in reality, it was a historic weakening for Konoha.

The Fourth Hokage couple, one mastering the space-time ninjutsu Flying Thunder God Technique, and the other possessing the strategic deterrent power of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, were both gone at once.

The new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was only a few months old and couldn't be of any use at all.

Besides that, to stop the Nine-Tails, countless middle-ranking Jonin of Konoha died tragically that night.

Even without considering the Fourth Hokage couple, who could determine the outcome of a battlefield.

Figures like Yuhi Kurenai and Inuzuka Kikkō were all staunch supporters of the Third Hokage with unwavering Will of Fire.

As a result, the sudden Nine-Tails Rebellion instantly caused Konoha's strength to drop by more than one level.

For the arrangement of the village headquarters, Hiruzen Sarutobi almost immediately dispatched ninjas out of the village that night, dividing them into three groups: one to summon Orochimaru, who was still stationed on the battlefield in Kusagakure, back to the village, and the other two to find Jiraiya and Tsunade.

Although Konoha was short on combat power before, it had never been so short, especially with a sinister Uchiha inside the village who could turn into an enemy at any time.

The Third Hokage had no choice but to summon his three disciples back.

In the Hokage's office, the Konoha F4 had been discussing various ways to seize power for days.

Inside the Uchiha clan compound.

Early morning.

Luo Fu looked in surprise at the little bean sprout, whose chubby face was full of apprehension and still had some black smoke stains.

"What are you doing?" Luo Fu clapped his hands lightly in front of him.

A gust of wind-attribute chakra instantly formed a mighty wind that whistled through the window, blowing all the thick smoke out of the room.

"I..." The little bean sprout was uneasy, fidgeting with her fingers.

How could Luo Fu not see that Uchiha Izumi clearly wanted to make breakfast to please him?

After thinking for a moment, Luo Fu understood the little fellow Uchiha Izumi's apprehension and unease at this moment.

Because of Luo Fu's appearance, Uchiha Hazuki, who should not have died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, died. Suddenly becoming an orphan, coupled with not having the experience of being rescued by Uchiha Itachi,

It can be said that the blow Uchiha Izumi suffered in the Nine-Tails Rebellion was unprecedented.

Don't forget that the reason why countless people in Konoha hated Naruto to the bone was entirely because the Nine-Tails Rebellion caused the deaths of countless people in Konoha.

That fear and resentment towards the Nine-Tails were all borne by Naruto.

Uchiha Izumi was probably one of them too.

Overnight, her parents died, and her home was destroyed. When she was about to be sent to the orphanage, the Uchiha clan came to her door.

Unlike deliberately hiding his identity, because he himself didn't have ninja qualifications, and no one capable of extracting chakra had appeared in two generations, Uchiha Hazuki had never hidden his identity from Uchiha Izumi since she was a child.

Uchiha Izumi knew very well that she had Uchiha blood in her body, but she never expected that she would be approached by the Uchiha clan.

Izumi, who didn't have the Uchiha surname before, even at the age of five, knew very well the Uchiha's reputation in the village. It's no exaggeration to say that whenever there was a little trouble or problem in the village, almost everyone would tacitly suspect it was related to the Uchiha. This was the subtle influence caused by years of public opinion.

Even Uchiha Izumi had always regarded the Uchiha clan as a flood beast.

If her mother Uchiha Hazuki was still alive, she would still have some reliance in her heart.

But now, she was at a loss, being taken to the Uchiha clan and sent to the home of a stranger to act as his younger sister.

Luo Fu had no impression of Uchiha Izumi, and how could Uchiha Izumi not be the same?

Two strangers were suddenly brought together to become siblings.

One of them was a little one who had just suffered a blow and lost both parents, and whose heart was fragile.

In order to live a better life, it was not surprising that this little fellow would take the initiative to please Luo Fu.

After quickly understanding Uchiha Izumi's original intention, Luo Fu reached out and gently wiped the black stains on the little bean sprout's face and said, "You probably don't have much of an impression of me as your older brother, and neither do I. However, since we're going to live together in the future, there's no need to be so cautious."

Ruffling Uchiha Izumi's hair, Luo Fu said, "Go wash up and change your clothes. We're going to eat barbecue."

Konoha Barbecue was very famous, whether in terms of consumption or taste, it was much better than the so-called Ichiraku Ramen.

After awakening his past life memories, Luo Fu had eaten a lot of Ichiraku Ramen because of his impression points. He had to admit that Ichiraku Ramen tasted really good.

But ultimately, Ichiraku Ramen was just fast food. It was just that Naruto, who had been poor since childhood, had a strong psychological impression of Ichiraku Ramen. Otherwise, even an ordinary commoner wouldn't regard Ichiraku Ramen as some kind of delicacy.

The little bean sprout Uchiha Izumi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Following her mother's teachings, she bowed to Luo Fu, and the little fellow walked quickly back to her room with her chubby little legs.

While waiting for Uchiha Izumi to change clothes, Luo Fu looked towards the Hokage Building with great interest.

He really wanted to know what these guys would do when he took this inexplicably arrived little sister Uchiha Izumi out to eat barbecue, and even showed that he was gradually accepting Uchiha Izumi and gradually establishing bonds with the clan and the village.

In the Naruto world, Uchiha Luo Fu began to settle down, and in a short world, he had sufficient self-preservation ability, and even began to ambitiously plan to compete with the Sage of Six Paths.

Demon Slayer World.

The moment the demon Luo Fu returned from the shared space.

A special energy instantly poured into his body out of thin air.

The Uchiha bloodline from the ninja world made the power that the demon Luo Fu obtained from Muzan Kibutsuji's blood seem to be purified in an instant.

More precisely, the Uchiha bloodline and the demon bloodline distinguished the primary and secondary in a short period of time.

Although Muzan Kibutsuji's blood was indeed very magical, once it transformed people into demons, those with qualifications could master blood demon arts that could be regarded as independent existences even in the ninja world.

But in essence, Muzan Kibutsuji's blood was completely defeated in front of the Uchiha bloodline.

Especially when the demon Luo Fu's eyes showed one tomoe after another.

From one tomoe, two tomoe, and three tomoe continued to rise. When he began to approach the Mangekyo, restricted by the ability of Muzan Kibutsuji's blood, he seemed to break through that layer of shackles in an instant.

In the Infinity Castle, Muzan Kibutsuji suddenly narrowed his eyes. He suddenly felt that Luo Fu, who was transformed with Kokushibo and listed as one of the Upper Moon Twelve because of his powerful qualifications, had suddenly lost contact.

This was not caused by death. Muzan Kibutsuji had not experienced this situation for the first time.

Before this, Tamayo, the guy who had been deceived by Muzan Kibutsuji, had also gotten his blood and gotten rid of his control through some means.

Unexpectedly, so many years have passed, and among the Upper Moon Twelve, there has once again appeared this uncontrollable existence.

With murderous intent in his eyes, Muzan Kibutsuji summoned all the Upper Moon Twelve to the Infinity Castle at the first time.

Luo Fu's strength was so powerful, whether when he was a member of the Demon Slayer Corps or after being transformed into a demon, he was enough to be among the best.

Once such a strong person gets rid of his control, it would be still just delivering food even if ordinary Lower Moon Twelve demons would besiege to kill him.

The only one who could deal with Luo Fu was the existence of the common Upper Moon Twelve demons.

Of course, Muzan Kibutsuji might be able to kill Luo Fu if he took action himself. But at the moment he realized that Luo Fu had lost control, Muzan Kibutsuji had an extremely strong premonition.

If he really went to find Luo Fu, then his own life would be in danger.

The Scum Boss cherishes his life quite a lot. How could he risk his safety?

Before figuring out how Luo Fu got rid of his control, Muzan Kibutsuji would definitely not appear in front of Luo Fu in person.
