Forced to sell misery

The night is silent and darkness falls.

Kakashi was walking on the street dressed as an Anbu.

A drunk man staggered out of the pub, holding a bottle of wine in one hand and putting the other hand on his companion's shoulder. He shouted dazedly that he could still drink, and walked past Kakashi with a strong smell of alcohol.

There were also some people who were drunk and causing trouble. They started pushing and shoving each other on the street and soon got entangled with the guards who came after hearing the news.

The drunk man was unreasonable and instead started to make noises and wanted to fight with the guards. There was pushing and shoving going on from both sides, and a small circle of people gathered around to watch the fun.

Ever since the Uchiha clan rebelled, Konoha formed a new guard team and the village felt relaxed for a while.

But those civilians are still too naive. The purpose of the guard's existence is to maintain order. It doesn't mean that if the team is changed, those who cause trouble can be left alone or treated leniently.

The drunks were still struggling with the guards, when suddenly a drunk waving a bottle of wine started pushing and shoving the guards and rushed towards Kakashi.

Kakashi frowned, dodged without leaving a trace, twisted the drunkard's wrist casually, subdued him easily, and handed him over to the anxious guard member on the side.

The current Konoha Guard members are just made up of civilians, while the top brass are some ninjas with mediocre qualifications, as well as those ninjas who are arranged by big families and are not suitable for combat.

So they are not very efficient in dealing with small matters like drunkards causing trouble, compared to when the Uchiha clan served as the guard team...

Forget it, it’s all in the past. Things involving politics are always a headache.

Waving his hand to signal the captain of the guard team not to say those polite words of thanks, Kakashi quickly walked away.

Passing by a dumpling shop, Kakashi heard a warm greeting.

"Hey, Kakashi, wanna have a drink together?"

Turning around, it was indeed that guy Kai, sitting with Asuma and Hong, leisurely drinking tea and eating dumplings.

Compared to civilians who can drink without restraint, ninjas are more restrained. At least they won't get drunk and cause trouble on the streets.

Kakashi just felt annoyed as he walked past without paying any attention to him as usual.

He raised his head and looked at Shadow Rock in the distance, the First Generation, the Second Generation, the Third Generation who was currently on duty, and... his teacher, the Fourth Generation.

Kakashi remained silent, and couldn't help but feel a deep sense of exhaustion welling up in his heart.

Suddenly, Kakashi became aware of something, looked in a certain direction, and frowned deeply.

At the corner of the street, an Anbu stumbled towards him.

Mao Yue Xi Yan?

……

"I was ignored again, Kakashi."

"Although I also told the Sandaime Hokage that I also hope to serve in the ANBU, but my request was ruthlessly rejected... Damn it, is this the regret of not being able to share youth with my companions?" Kai raised the dango in his hand and waved it, staring unwillingly in the direction where Kakashi left.

"Yes, Kakashi... Although that guy used to have a very cold personality, but since entering the Anbu, Kakashi has been known as "Cold-blooded Kakashi", and..."

Thinking of Kakashi's cold eyes, Asuma murmured with the cigarette butt in his mouth. As he spoke, ash would fall from the cigarette butt from time to time. "What kind of eyes is that? It always makes me feel uneasy."

"We have to think of a way. Why don't we ask the Sandaime-sama to transfer Kakashi away from the Anbu and away from those dark things? The darkness in Kakashi's heart will also be alleviated."

"Good idea!" Kai slapped the table and swallowed the dumpling in his mouth. "Then it's decided. Let's go petition the Hokage together now!"

"Wait, you have to think of a good reason or something... It's not appropriate to just bring it up so abruptly, even if you have your own considerations." Hong calmed down a lot.

"That's right..." Kai slumped down on the table in frustration, "My lifelong friend, that's right!"

Kai suddenly remembered the child who once served as an extra staff member of the Anbu and carried out Anbu missions with Kakashi, "And my useless disciple... the boy who carried the fate of the clan."

Kai suddenly felt a little depressed, and his voice also dropped. Although he was only a private disciple, he recognized the child's character and will... But...

But he got involved in politics and became a victim of the village and the clan...

Although he was a carefree person and never cared about these trivial government affairs, he had still heard about them.

"The child?"

Asuma and Hong both remembered the young man from the Uchiha clan who had powerful eye power, represented the Uchiha clan, argued between the village and the clan in front of everyone, and made such shocking remarks.

"He was truly a brilliant talent, but...he died young because he received too much attention before he could really grow up. What a pity." Hong murmured, "Uchiha Kagamiya...?"

In this world, there are many children who have great talents but die before they can really grow up, either because of war, dangerous missions, or various accidents...

In this era, death is a common thing and disputes never stop.

"What's going on over there?" Hong was keenly aware of something. The three of them walked out of the dumpling shop and saw the smoke caused by the explosion in the distance.

"This level of power... Could it be possible!"

"It's the Nine-Tails' chakra! Could it be... that the Nine-Tails has broken the seal again? How could it be?!"

"That direction is the Uchiha clan's... clan territory!"

"Is it Uchiha Madara's doing again?"

…The village began to become chaotic, and countless ninjas rushed in that direction.

Uchiha clan territory, training ground.

"What happened?" Sasuke looked up at the direction where the huge explosion came from not far away, and his pupils suddenly shrank. That was - Nanga Shrine? ? !

And, that's... Kyuubi?!

Sasuke felt the sudden burst of familiar chakra power.

Naruto?!

Could it be that Uchiha Obito wanted to reclaim the Nine-Tails again and attacked Naruto?

Naruto is different from him... Naruto is still just a kid who knows nothing...

"Damn it!" Sasuke clenched the kunai in his hand and rushed towards the Nanga Shrine.

……

The man who called himself Uchiha Kagamiya led the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto straight to the Nanga Shrine in the Uchiha clan's territory...

The image in the crystal ball disappeared, the ash from the pipe fell on his hand, and Sandai woke up with a start—

Now, whether the person who claimed to be Uchiha Jingye was really himself, and if so, why was Uchiha Jingye from the Uchiha family still alive? These mysteries were no longer important.

It is meaningless to pursue those things any further. What matters most now is that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is in his hands!

That is the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan!

You know, with the Mangekyō Sharingan, you can control the tailed beasts. Could it be that... the Nine-Tails Rebellion is going to happen again? !

Do not……

As expected, the Uchiha clan is a clan of disaster... Danzo, maybe you are right.

Three generations of ridiculous thoughts.

But there is no time to hesitate now!

"Pass my order, the whole village is on level one combat readiness!"

Several ANBU appeared in front of the Sandai at the same time.

"All departments, all personnel, be on standby!"

……

"Send the order to seal Madara and get ready!" The third generation put his hands on the table and gave the order loudly.

Such a serious state of war is rare even during wartime, right?

The Anbu looked at each other.

"What happened, Sandaime-sama?"

"Is the war going to start again? Who is the enemy?"

"Nine-tailed Fox." The Sandai said with some difficulty.

"Wha, what?!"

What terrible news this is...

"Go quickly! Take action!" the third generation shouted.

"Yes!" The Anbu responded with cold sweat dripping down their cheeks and left.

The Sandai closed his eyes tiredly, and when he opened them again, his eyes became firm——

Even if it means risking my own life, I must protect Konoha's safety...

Fortunately, this time it was discovered in time...

"Wait!" The Sandai looked at one of the Anbu with a stern look, "You stay here first!"

"Yes, Lord Sandaime, is there anything else you need?" The other Anbu left instantly. The Anbu who was asked to stay by the Sandaime lowered his head respectfully and waited for instructions.

"You also possess the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan!"

"Yes." The Anbu was stunned for a moment, but responded quickly.

"Now, it's time for you to make a move on behalf of the Uchiha clan and for the peace of the village, Uchiha Itachi."

"What did you say?" Itachi was shocked. The moment he looked up, he met the eyes of the Third Generation. The way the Third Generation looked at him made him inexplicably feel... uneasy.
