Chapter 40: Eternal Reincarnation Chaos

The room was quiet once more.

Sasuke patiently turned the pages of the book. After suppressing his surging emotions, he quickly refocused on what he was doing.

The history of the village was unexpectedly more incomplete than the family's own history.

Fortunately, it was easier for him to sort it out, and it took less time to judge the authenticity.

Not long after, based on the existing information, Sasuke roughly understood the life of Konoha civilians from the perspective of the family before and after the establishment of the village, and the "peak Konoha career" under the leadership of the Third Hokage from the perspective of the village, which was a relatively complete history of the Konoha ninja for fifty years.

Because the main goal was to understand the ninja world itself, Sasuke put the part of civilian life behind after sorting it out, thinking that it would not be lost anyway, and it would be in time to make up for it later.

He decided to look at the most important part first.

The Warring States period before the establishment of Konoha was a relatively cruel environment, even from the perspective of the Uchiha. Children had to go to the battlefield when they were young.

The average age of ninjas was very young. There were too many teenagers and children who left the world forever before they reached the age of marriage and could not feel the joy of life after adulthood.

In order to settle down, they no longer continued the cruel war for the sake of missions and the interests of the daimyo.

In short, a group of ninjas wandered on the edge of life and death for too long and were tired.

Finally, they tried to reconcile and established the so-called peaceful Konoha Ninja Village.

Konoha was related to the Senju, and Fire was related to the Uchiha. Both sides put aside their grievances and established friendship.

Then it was a happy time of peace and happiness.

"Peace, happiness..."

Sasuke recalled that before the accident, even before Shisui's death, many civilians in the family seemed... indeed quite happy.

But... after the incident, most of the family members seemed to have died without knowing anything?

Oh, the remaining few people may not know why they died.

With thinking.

According to the timeline, Sasuke continued to read and found that this peaceful appearance did not last long. Many years after the village was built, the head of the family, Uchiha Madara, went mad and asked the clan members to leave.

"Big brother said that leaving is the only way out, but where is the real way out?

"At the beginning, we fought when we said we would fight, but we didn't win. We fought to the death when we said we would fight to the death. After sacrificing so much, we laid down our weapons and reconciled when we said we would have peace. Why are we leaving now?

"Are we going to fight with Hashirama Senju again? Many ninjas in the clan have changed their careers. Others have married and invited big brother to attend the wedding. Is he really going to leave like this?"

The comments of a certain elder were confused.

Sasuke was more concerned about the major events marked on the timeline. The clan leader, who symbolizes the peak strength of the clan, chose to live alone after reconciling with the clan leader of the Senju clan.

The departure of people from Konoha foreshadowed the beginning of the decline of Uchiha's strength.

However, this clan leader is indeed somewhat unpopular: "Either fighting or peace, fighting and peace, with such an unsteady belief, how can this guy be the clan leader! He doesn't look like a clan leader at all—"

He was not very clear about what the clan leader looked like.

But seeing the resentment of an unknown senior in this family, Sasuke knew that this was definitely a negative example.

After all, his father's data could be deeply loved by the clan members, and the only helpless thing was that his strength was a bit poor.

From the development of history.

There is nothing wrong with his judgment.

Through some information supplemented by the narration, Sasuke could know that under the leadership of this clan leader, the family was very stubborn and gave away many heads that should not have been given, and a large number of strong people were sacrificed.

After the departure of the only surviving strongest man, Uchiha had no corresponding strong man who could take over in the short term.

Fortunately, the environment was still relaxed.

The war was indeed blocked outside Konoha at that time, and the Uchiha clan was able to recuperate. Many civilians who stayed in the clan had no intention of becoming ninjas.

After a few years.

Until the 17th year of Konoha's establishment, the clan leader who ran away from home returned to the village and did something that even the Uchiha clan members could not understand, and finally fought with the clan leader of the Senju clan.

In the same year, the clan leader faked his death and escaped from the world. The Ninja World War broke out, and the systematic ninjas began to show stronger lethality than the Warring States period.

The next year, the clan leader of the Senju clan took action, captured the tailed beast, held the Five Kage Conference, distributed the tailed beast, and laid a peace pattern.

The first Ninja World War, which lasted only one or two years, ended.

The name and strength of the clan leader of the Senju clan were also specially recorded in the family's recorded history. Different clan members have made judgments and evaluated it as a god-like power.

Many years later, a talented younger generation in the family worshipped another strong man from the Senju clan, and the relationship between the two clans was restored. This strong man from the Senju clan has now become the new Hokage of Konoha.

In this way, the Uchiha clan remained peaceful for another twenty years. The Uchiha genius died in the same year as the Second Hokage.

Then the Second Ninja World War broke out.

After that, large and small battles continued, which lasted until a few years ago. The last round of large-scale battles that the Uchiha clan needed to participate in was completely stopped. This was a war history with heavy casualties.

With the complete decline of the Uchiha clan, some of the family's situations in the village began to deteriorate.

It was then that Sasuke discovered that some of the contents of the family gathering, in addition to how to deal with external enemies, also had the problem of the decreasing proportion of strength in the village.

Especially starting from the Nine-tailed Rebellion many years ago, the family was misunderstood by some people in the village. Of course, according to the records of the family history, this misunderstanding was quickly eliminated.

The young generation of Uchiha relied on their iron-faced and selfless character to prove the credibility of the Uchiha clan.

It was just the weakening of strength that was also an inevitable fact.

Especially since the Uchiha lost someone who could speak to the top leaders, the genius who was far more talented than the previous generation of clan leaders became the bridge between the clan and the village.

It was after reading this part of history that Sasuke told his father about the important efforts. It seemed that his father witnessed the death of countless elites of the clan little by little, and it just fell into decline.

There are more records about the two Ninja World Wars and many small-scale wars in Konoha history, which are much more detailed than the early and middle stages of the village.

Basically, they are all recorded with some heroic deeds, including the Third Hokage who claimed to have defeated the other four Kages and was not afraid of anyone, the White Fang of Konoha Hatake Sakumo who sacrificed for the great interests of the village, the three ninjas who received the true teachings of the Hokage, and the golden flash that dominated the battlefield...

Of course, it has become a heroic record, unlike the history books of the Uchiha side, which at least record many casualties. The few words on it are even more about the merits of the Third Hokage.

Sasuke sorted out the village's records about this period of history, mainly using the deeds of the Third Hokage as the anchor of the timeline.

The highest honor of the ninja basically fell on this Hokage, who was ordered to save the village in times of crisis and in several wars, and pushed the village to the peak—

Although many evaluations have been falsified.

At least in terms of the current status of Konoha, among the five major countries, it is the kind that anyone can bully a few times, which is a bit far from the so-called peak name.

Of course, the praises of the Third Hokage by many ninjas are genuine.

"Every generation of Hokage...seems to be very popular in the village! Especially the third generation..."

Sasuke closed his eyes and entered a state of recuperation, while rubbing his temples to avoid myopia due to excessive consumption of pupil power.

He read too much information in one breath before, and because he encountered many things that were difficult for him to understand, he forgot to blink his surprised eyes.

Even if he eliminated the false and retained only some of the information that could be confirmed, he still felt very uncomfortable.

It is not easy to sort out the timeline, and it is even more difficult to sort out the entire historical development process of the village.

At this time, he recalled the timeline of the Fire Country Daimyo version and the general understanding of ninjas by officials, and he agreed with it in his heart.

Ninjas are simply a group that ordinary people cannot understand.

Although the recorded wars were all won, and many heroes emerged with great military exploits, Sasuke calculated based on the actual data and found that life seemed to be no different from before the village was established, and the death rate was even higher.

The combination of the phenomenon of winning and dying made Sasuke feel as if he had watched a pantomime with great artistic tension.

The history of ninjas, if read separately, seems to be so tragic, but when combined, especially when combined with the official data of the Land of Fire, Sasuke felt that afterward, he almost felt a chill.

In the midsummer sunshine, Sasuke's keen senses could detect that the vitality of nature had reached its peak, and the people in the whole village were living a daily life that seemed to have been peaceful for a long time.

However, in this same ninja village, just a few months ago, a famous Konoha clan was almost destroyed and disappeared silently!

In the Warring States period, it was too cruel for children to go to the battlefield, and in the ninja village period, babies died silently, which was like a paradise...

This is an indescribable weird horror.

Sasuke opened his eyes again, and after seeing the familiar figure as always, he relaxed again. He stared at his reflection in the pupils and whispered: "I will be the one who changes this world...right?"
