Late at night, although there was no curfew in the world of Hokage, there was basically no nightlife either. It was already the early hours of the morning, and the city had long since shed the hustle and bustle of the day, replaced by the tranquility of the night. On the streets, only a few lights shone sparsely, like a few stars in the night sky, scattering on the empty road.
Naruto strolled alone on the deserted streets, the moonlight gentle as water, the breeze light, although carrying the coolness of the night, it gave Naruto a strange sense of comfort.
But what really made him comfortable was not this peaceful night, but his current state of mind, as calm as water. He was now in sage mode.
He used a Shadow Clone to pretend to be sleeping in his bedroom, and no one had discovered that his main body had left using Invisibility Release.
In fact, under normal circumstances, as long as someone used a sensory ninjutsu, it would be easy to find his location. After all, Invisibility Release only made his body invisible, but it could not prevent the Chakra from leaking out of his body.
But Naruto could do it. He could completely control the Chakra in his body, and then completely seal the Chakra in his body, without releasing a trace of Chakra. Except for special bloodlines that could directly see Chakra, it was difficult for ordinary sensory Ninja to find him.
This was still inspired by Hunter x Hunter. He used this method to hide his aura when he was hunting in the forest before.
When he walked to the commercial street, Naruto suddenly stopped. His eyes swept over the surrounding residential buildings, which were already dark. Only a few windows were still lit, making Konoha in the night still contain a little vitality.
And on his face, there was a child's smile, as if he had finally found his beloved toy.
A quarter of an hour later—
Naruto returned to the original street with a refreshed look. Solving another person who deserved to die made him feel very comfortable physically and mentally.
After the matter was resolved, Naruto was not in a hurry to go home, but continued to stroll around Konoha.
Hokage Rock, this was almost the highest position in the entire Konoha, and also the best position to overlook Konoha Village. It was quiet all around, and only the occasional calls of night birds in the distance broke the silence of the night. The moonlight was like a training, pouring down on every roof and every treetop, and the entire village was shrouded in it.
Naruto stood on the head of "Sarutobi Hiruzen". His head was the highest of the four portraits. Standing in this position, he could overlook the entire Konoha.
Konoha in the middle of the night was more like a reflection of the starry sky. The still bright Hokage Building guided all directions of the entire village.
A night breeze blew, but Naruto could not feel the slightest bit of cold. The bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan and the influence of the Nine Tails Chakra made his huge vitality like a stove.
Facing the night wind, Naruto even felt a little cool. He looked down at Konoha shrouded in darkness and slowly opened his arms.
Suddenly, he thought of Pain in the original book.
The originally thriving Konoha was instantly turned into ruins, and even he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
"Kurama, can a Tailed Beast Ball completely destroy Konoha?"
Naruto asked the Nine Tails in the Sealing Space in his heart.
The Nine Tails was stunned for a moment, and after a simple thought, he said, "If you let me out, I might be able to do it myself."
Naruto's Chakra volume and the Nine Tails were not at the same level, and the Tailed Beast Ball released was naturally not at the same level.
Naruto felt a little disappointed. It seemed that there was still a long way to go to "carry the bag of rice".
"Well, it seems like there is a Great Spiraling Ring, what is the principle, it seems to compress the Yin and Yang attributes of Chakra, and then detonate it?"
Just as Naruto and the Nine Tails were discussing how to quickly and effectively destroy Konoha, Naruto suddenly noticed a black shadow dart out of the Hokage Building in Naruto's sight.
Under normal circumstances, if a person wears black clothes and goes out at night, it is difficult to be discovered, of course, if this person is walking normally.
As soon as the black shadow left the Hokage Building, it shot directly to the street lamp, and then jumped to the roof, directly rushing towards the outer periphery of Konoha.
Naruto looked at the direction the black shadow left from a distance, his eyes slightly condensed, that was...
The Uchiha Clan Compound.
It seemed... something interesting was happening.
Let's go take a look.
Naruto's lips curled up slightly.
A Ninja came out of the Hokage Building and went to the Uchiha Clan Compound late at night.
Was it Uchiha Shisui, or Uchiha Itachi?
Naruto used the Transformation Technique to change his body shape and appearance, and then put the mask that the Anbu Ninja had just exploded on his face.
...
Uchiha Shisui was different from other Uchiha Ninjas. You couldn't see any arrogance belonging to the Uchiha Clan in him. He was an Uchiha Ninja who looked very honest at first glance.
At the same time, he was also the strongest genius of the Uchiha Clan at present. As early as the Third Shinobi World War, he relied on the Phantom Body Flicker Technique to kill the Quartet, and made the name of "Shisui of the Body Flicker" on the battlefield.
Now, at the age of sixteen, he had opened the Mangekyo Sharingan. This talent could be said to be unprecedented.
But at this time, even the dark night could not cover the pain on his face.
The conflict between the Uchiha and the village had reached an almost irreconcilable point.
At today's clan meeting, many members of the Uchiha who were originally conservatives had turned to the radicals, and even many of the clan elders had begun to propose a coup to the clan leader.
If this continued, the Uchiha Clan would have no place in Konoha, and even Konoha would be dragged into the vortex of war again because of the Uchiha Clan's coup. At that time, it would inevitably cause great harm to the village.
As soon as the clan meeting ended, he immediately rushed to the Hokage Building to report the matter to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and informed him of the ability of his Mangekyo Sharingan.
Mangekyo Sharingan, the current understanding of it in the Ninja world still remained on Madara Uchiha. That was the eye possessed by Madara Uchiha, the Asura of the Ninja world, containing the power to change the entire Ninja world.
And Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyo Dojutsu was called Kotoamatsukami, which could manipulate others at will without knowing it, and permanently and completely change people's thoughts and will.
He assured Sarutobi Hiruzen that he would use this ability to change the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the village, and had obtained the other party's consent.
It was just that the matter of using Kotoamatsukami to change the clan leader's cognition and attitude could only be done slowly. If Kotoamatsukami was suddenly released on Uchiha Fugaku, the clan leader's change would inevitably arouse suspicion among the clan members.
He had to stay by Uchiha Fugaku's side and subtly change his attitude, and then let him suppress the voices of the radicals in the clan.
Only in this way could there be a real turning point in the relationship between the clan and the village.
At least, that's what Uchiha Shisui thought.
Thinking, Uchiha Shisui's pupils shrank suddenly, his body paused slightly in the air, and then quickly fell into the forest below.
"Huh?" Naruto Uzumaki, who was using Invisibility Release in the back to restrain his breath and follow, was puzzled.
Was he... discovered?
