Itachi in Naruto

"Minato, you taught Itachi that technique."

Kushina woke up from her nap and asked Minato Namikaze who was getting ready to go on a mission.

"Um......"

Namikaze Minato nodded and stuffed the flying thunder god kunai into his ninja bag.

"That kid Itachi is very precocious... He has a much more mature mind than we thought..."

Is he more precocious than Kakashi?

There is no doubt about this question.

Kakashi is just pretending to be precocious, after all... he is still just a teenager.

But Itachi's performance was enough for Namikaze Minato to communicate with him as an equal.

"Running for Hokage..."

Namikaze Minato's movements stopped for a moment.

"The higher-ups used some less than honorable means..."

"..."

Uzumaki Kushina was sad.

Every village has its own darkness.

Konoha is no exception.

Back then, when the Jinchuuriki was handed over, the Nine-Tails was forced into the body of an 8-year-old girl...that is, Kushina's body.

This kind of thing... is just one of the many darknesses in Konoha.

Running for Hokage.

It also has its own dark side.

In order to maintain the dominance that the Thousand Hands Faction has maintained since the founding of the village, some unreasonable methods... will be used.

"In the past two years...Mr. Fugaku's achievements in the war...have been deliberately blocked by the superiors..."

Namikaze Minato said.

"And Mr. Orochimaru, he was mobilized into the "root" and now rarely appears in front of people..."

The former...is recorded in the official novel Itachi Shinden.

The latter... is shown in the original Naruto manga.

All these methods were used to open the way for Minato Namikaze to become the fourth generation Hokage.

For this reason...naturally some people's interests were sacrificed.

Uzumaki Kushina: "That's why you will..."

Because I felt ashamed of Uchiha, I made some compensation.

Whether it's Uchiha Obito or Itachi

At the beginning, Sarutobi Hiruzen had arranged for Uchiha Obito, a member of the Uchiha tribe, to join Namikaze Minato's team despite all objections.

Originally, when a ninja from the Uchiha clan became a chuunin, he would be assigned to the "Uchiha Police Department".

If it's the latter... Uchiha Obito will never be able to succeed again.

Once a police officer, always a police officer.

But this arrangement gave Uchiha Obito...and even the entire Uchiha the possibility of change.

"It's not considered compensation..."

Namikaze Minato smiled.

"I really like that kid Itachi..."

......

On the way home.

Itachi's mind was still filled with what Namikaze Minato had said before.

Murderous aura...this kind of thing really exists.

For example, a butcher has a completely different aura than an ordinary person.

Another example... Ordinary people will be afraid when they see criminals, but the generals in the army are very majestic.

These are all manifestations of aura.

In the world of Naruto, the application of murderous aura is even more extensive.

Even if they are ten meters apart, if a master unleashes his murderous intent, his opponent will be stunned and too frightened to control himself.

Just like in the Chunin Exam, in the Forest of Death, Sasuke and Sakura immediately collapsed to the ground with one look from Orochimaru.

This is murderous intent...that is, the application of spiritual energy.

Namikaze Minato did the opposite.

Completely abandon murderous intent and make the release of one's own spiritual energy extremely peaceful.

but......

To master Orochimaru or Namikaze Minato's level of application of spiritual energy, I'm afraid it will take an extremely long road.

I can't do it right now.

But even so, Itachi was still grateful to Namikaze Minato for being able to tell him his spiritual energy experience and cultivation methods for free, and pointing out the direction for him to become stronger in the future.

......

In the days that followed, while Itachi carefully studied the spiritual energy training techniques taught by Namikaze Minato, his progress in physical training also improved by leaps and bounds.

With the previous strengthening of Konoha Tornado's body, Konoha Gale's training progress is very fast.

Two weeks later.

"80......"

Itachi looked at his body, and a set of numbers popped up in his retinas.

"Blue 20, dark blue 80."

"The physical strength of elite genin...is still far from the passing line for chuunin."

This morning.

Something happened in the village.

When Uchiha Mikoto came back from outside and hurriedly put the dishes in her hands into the kitchen...

Itachi sensed something keenly.

Uchiha Mikoto's melancholy look showed what had happened.

On the battlefield... news of the sacrifice of the clan members came back.

"..."

Uchiha Itachi understood immediately.

Is it...

"Itachi, come with me..."

Uchiha Mikoto whispered.

......

A clearing at the edge of Konoha.

Thick trees surrounded this side, and among them, there was an open space.

In the open space, a dark stone monument stood.

When Itachi and Uchiha Mikoto arrived, many people had already gathered there.

"Mikoto, Itachi..."

The man who whispered this name had a serious face.

At first glance, he doesn't look very handsome.

But if you look closely, you will find that this face is very attractive.

The green vest showed his status as a serving jounin.

The chilling aura confirmed that this man had just returned from the battlefield.

The round fan pattern printed on his clothes...explains his identity.

"Evil Eye Fugaku", also known as Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Mikoto's husband and Itachi's father.

He is also the captain of the Konoha Uchiha Police Department.

"Father."

Itachi walked over and said hello.

"..."

Uchiha Fugaku put his hand on Itachi's head and rubbed it.

After that, the three of them turned their attention to the stone tablet.

There, craftsmen were carving names on it.

As for why some people are buried in Konoha Cemetery and some people's names can only be engraved on stone tablets, Itachi doesn't understand.

Soon, a familiar yet unfamiliar name was carved out.

"Uchiha Obito".

The names of those who died in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge.

On the side, a silver-haired young ninja stood there, his eyes seemed to be dead.

It was Hatake Kakashi who had been promoted to Jonin and received one of Uchiha Obito's eyes.

Compared to two weeks ago.

Kakashi has changed a lot.

The right eye is normal black, the left eye...has a vertical scar, and the red light flowing in it...with a magatama eye...

It is Uchiha Obito's "Heritage Sharingan".

But what Kakashi inherited was not only this eye, but also Uchiha Obito's thoughts.

Starting today, the ninja named Kakashi dies.

The will of Uchiha Obito is stationed in it, and Kakashi will completely live like Uchiha Obito in the future.

Nohara Lin stood aside with her eyes a little red.

Judging from the way she kept looking at Kakashi, the latter just stared blankly at Uchiha Obito's name...

Nohara Lin's love also died together.

It was clear that she and Kakashi had just had a relationship before, but Obito Uchiha died in the mission.

Later, Nohara Rin confessed to Kakashi.

On the night when Uchiha Obito had just died, Namikaze Minato rescued the two disciples.

But Kakashi rejected the latter again.

Because he felt sorry for Uchiha Obito, he rejected Nohara Rin's confession.

Love is always so cruel.

The death of Uchiha Obito killed three people at once.
