Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

Konoha.

Uchiha clan.

Ever since the Nine-Tails Rebellion, they were ordered to move to the outskirts of Konoha in the name of post-disaster reconstruction.

There is no doubt that anyone with a discerning eye can see the suspicion expressed by the village's top leaders.

Suspicion about the Nine-Tail incident!

Post-disaster reconstruction is just a nice excuse...

By the pond in the courtyard, a figure was standing, holding bait in his arms, and throwing it to the fish leisurely with a look on his face.

Uchiha Fugaku, as the patriarch of the Uchiha clan and captain of the Konoha Guard, usually had to go out early and come back late due to matters big and small.

But today, I took some time out of my busy schedule...

"Itachi."

Hearing the sound of very light footsteps in the courtyard behind him, Fugaku turned around.

"Are you going to carry out the mission?"

"Yes father, however, it is a military exercise arranged by the village."

A young man walked out of the house with a long sword on his back and the Uchiha fan emblem embroidered on his shirt behind him.

Exercise?

Fugaku nodded slightly, still spreading the bait in his hand.

“You opened the Sharingan at the age of eight, and it seems that the village also wants to observe your strength.

"But this also shows the power and influence of the Sharingan. Itachi, I hope you have this awareness, don't be proud of it, and continue to work hard to improve the power of your eyes..."

"Father." The boy suddenly spoke.

Ok?

Fugaku turned around with a little surprise.

Weasel...

The child rarely interrupts himself while speaking.

"What's wrong?"

"Father, my companion is dead."

......

"Hmph! Uchiha Itachi, I'll remember this favor for now!"

Favor?

"No, I'm just completing my mission." Itachi raised his head slightly and said seriously.

The boy in front of him was called Tianma, and although he was much older and bigger than himself, his ninja qualities seemed to be somewhat lackluster.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be fooled by Ninja Cat...

This is an ordinary mission as a Genin. The goal of the mission is simple, just to catch the naughty ninja cat of the cat lady.

"I'm not talking about Ninja Cat!"

Tianma curled his lips and said.

Even though this guy is annoying, he saved my life after all.

And he obviously knew that he needed three Ninja Cat whiskers to treat his father's illness, so...

A scene flashed through my mind.

Thinking back, it was him who grabbed him on the container, so Itachi frowned and thought:

"Once life is gone, it can never be regained, so the value of life must be difficult to measure. I will save you only for this reason."

"You guy!"

Tianma's eyes widened and he clenched his fists tightly, but then he loosened them.

I really want to beat you up!

He's obviously just a little kid, but he has to act like an adult no matter what he says!

"alright!"

A girl with pigtails suddenly stood between the two of them.

Then......

This was followed by two painful cries.

It would be fair to give each of them a slap in the face!

The pretty girl elbowed the two men away!

"Ugh! Xinzi, what are you doing? It hurts!"

"You're such a fool. This is something that can be solved by just saying 'thank you', right?"

As he said this, Xinzi turned around again, shook his finger and said:

"And you, Itachi. Stop talking nonsense. We are companions, and it is natural for companions to help each other!"

companion......

Itachi rubbed his stuffy chest and suddenly looked stunned.

He clearly attacked me, but it seems that I still don’t think of him as an enemy?

Is this kind of person the so-called 'companion'?

A hand pointed towards me from a distance, followed by a cold snort filled with disdain.

"Hmph! Anyway, Uchiha Itachi, I will return this favor to you sooner or later!"

......

"Itachi, run!"

"Wait...Gastrodia!"

A figure quickly stepped forward to block the attack, and the long sword drew an arc, leaving bright red blood stains.

After seeing this scene, my vision gradually became blurry, accompanied by a piercing pain...

"Oh? Has your eyes opened? It seems that he is really a rare and good seedling."

As he looked at the young man who was kneeling on the ground and gradually fainting, there was a flash of light in his pupils.

A hoarse voice came from under the mask, and scarlet blood seeped out of the only hole.

I couldn't hear the masked man's words clearly, but the moment my vision completely disappeared, a voice inexplicably echoed in my mind.

"I will return this favor to you sooner or later!"

......
