Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens

Shimura Danzo's facial muscles twitched violently, betraying his inner rage.

But at this moment, Shimura Danzo's heart was utterly devoid of his previous arrogance.

The reason was quite simple. Danzo's arrogance stemmed from manipulating too many ninjas in the past. In his eyes, they were mere tools. As long as he uttered the phrase 'all for the village,' he could manipulate them without the slightest pressure.

And those who were unwilling couldn't possibly resist the numerous Jonin of Root.

However, when his past experiences encountered Luo Fu, a guy who didn't care about anything and was even more insane than Danzo, the confidence he had cultivated from his high position for so long was utterly destroyed.

In his view, Luo Fu, someone who didn't care about anything and had nothing to lose, truly dared to act recklessly. What's even more terrifying was that he possessed the strength to act recklessly.

The combination of these factors resulted in Danzo, even with the backing of Konoha, being unwilling to compete with Luo Fu.

After all, Luo Fu's death would simply be that – the death of a rotten life, nothing more than an Uchiha who deserved to die long ago.

But he was different. He was an elder of Konoha, the leader of Root. Within the village, if the Hokage was the leaf in the sunlight, then he was the root buried deep in the darkness.

Even if he couldn't be seen in the light, he held a strong conviction in his heart, unwilling to give up his position. At the same time, he didn't dare to let Luo Fu, this madman, disrupt Konoha's stability and give other ninja villages an excuse to attack at this sensitive time.

For Danzo, what he cared about most was Konoha, but that required him to become the Hokage standing high above. If not, then at the very least, he should sacrifice himself for Konoha and be enshrined in the Memorial Stone as a hero of Konoha.

But the prerequisite for all of this was that the village must first exist. However, Luo Fu was threatening the safety of the entire village at this sensitive time.

This forced Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi and others to compromise.

Even the ninjas from the various clans finally had some understanding at this time. The Uchiha were indeed the madmen recorded in the clan's ancient books.

So many years of the Will of Fire's influence in the village had failed to completely eradicate the madness and evil of the Uchiha.

A good show at Root ended with Luo Fu posing a threat to overturn the table at any time.

The insidious and ruthless Shimura Danzo, even after losing an arm, had to endure the grievance in his heart and apologize to Luo Fu in public.

The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze had no means to deal with Luo Fu, this madman.

When everything settled down and Shimura Danzo was sent to treat his severed arm,

Beneath the seemingly harmonious facade of Konoha Village lay an undercurrent of turmoil.

Inside the Hyuga clan's compound.

"As expected, it's still that Uchiha."

The clan's Great Elder, who had lived from the Warring States period to the present, after learning about what happened inside the Root base from Hiashi Hyuga and Hizashi Hyuga's brothers,

The clan's Great Elder couldn't help but sigh faintly. Then, his expression changed, and the clan's Great Elder suddenly said to Hizashi Hyuga: "Hizashi, you go back first. I have some things to tell the clan leader."

"Yes."

As the head of the branch family, Hizashi Hyuga had the Caged Bird Curse Mark on his forehead. In front of the main family, even as the head of the branch family, he was still like a slave. He didn't have any qualifications to talk to the main family.

After Hizashi Hyuga left, the clan's Great Elder said with a solemn tone: "Hiashi, I remember when you were in the Ninja Academy, you seemed to be classmates with this Uchiha Luo Fu, right?"

Hiashi Hyuga's heart tightened suddenly. His mind quickly thought about what the Great Elder meant by suddenly mentioning this?

The clan's Great Elder said meaningfully: "If I'm not mistaken, has this Uchiha Luo Fu suddenly changed his personality? The personality he showed today is completely different from before?"

Hiashi Hyuga became even more confused. After thinking about it, he said: "When I was in the Ninja Academy, I wasn't familiar with this Uchiha Luo Fu. Compared to that, he was closer to the current Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze. However, this Uchiha Luo Fu's performance today seems really different from the past. Could it be... Could it be that Uchiha Luo Fu is a spy from another village disguised?"

Glancing at Hiashi Hyuga, the Great Elder said faintly: "It seems that's right. If I'm not mistaken, this Uchiha Luo Fu may already possess those eyes that are the same as the Shinobi World Asura."

First a moment of astonishment, then Hiashi Hyuga suddenly felt a little horrified.

The name Shinobi World Asura was almost like a taboo in the ninja world.

Especially in Konoha Village, even within the Uchiha clan, very few people dared to mention this name in public.

The Great Elder suddenly said that this Uchiha Luo Fu possessed the same eyes as Uchiha Madara. How could Hiashi Hyuga not understand the deep meaning behind this?

Don't forget that although the Hyuga clan was very disappointing, they also produced Kage-level powerhouses during the Warring States period.

More importantly, in the history of inheritance, the Hyuga clan was not inferior to the Uchiha clan at all. The clan even preserved many documents and materials from the Warring States period to the establishment of the village.

As the clan leader, Hiashi Hyuga would more or less browse through those documents about the history of the Hyuga clan.

And some secrets during the establishment of the village helped him understand the information of the major ninja clans in Konoha.

What left the deepest impression on Hiashi Hyuga was the Wood Release of Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi who founded Konoha Village, and the Sharingan of Uchiha Madara.

His heart seemed to jump out of his chest.

Hiashi Hyuga said in horror: "Great Elder, what do you mean... Uchiha Luo Fu has the same eyes as Uchiha Madara? Don't joke like that. There is no second Hashirama Senju in the village now."

"What are you panicking about?"

The clan's Great Elder glanced at Hiashi Hyuga and said: "According to the records of the Hyuga clan's ancestors, if the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan opens those legendary eyes, their personalities will undergo great changes, and they will often become biased and crazy. This is why the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju always said that the Uchiha were an evil clan. Their strength suddenly becomes inexplicably strong, and their personalities suddenly become crazy. This Uchiha Luo Fu may really possess those eyes that are the same as Uchiha Madara."

"Then... then... then what should we do?"

Hiashi Hyuga's voice trembled a little.

Only those who have truly read the past documents and records will increasingly feel how powerful and terrifying Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara were back then.

To some extent, they were like true kindred spirits to each other. Other ninjas were just lower-level creatures. That was a terrifying and powerful all-round crush.

Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but be afraid.

After all, now is the time when Konoha is weak. If Luo Fu really goes crazy, could they dig up the grave of Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, and let Hashirama Senju come out to deal with the second Uchiha Madara?

"Calm down!!"

The clan's Great Elder said: "You are now the clan leader of our Hyuga clan. You must pay attention to your identity. Besides, even if that Uchiha Luo Fu really possesses those eyes that are the same as Uchiha Madara, what does it have to do with our Hyuga clan?"

Hiashi Hyuga was stunned and said in surprise: "But this Uchiha Luo Fu is threatening the village."

"Foolish."

The clan's Great Elder said in disappointment: "You must remember that before you are a Konoha ninja, you are first the clan leader of the Hyuga clan!"

A thunderbolt suddenly flashed in his mind, and Hiashi Hyuga vaguely seemed to finally understand what the Great Elder meant.

"You mean, if necessary, we can choose the Uchiha between the village and the Uchiha? But this Luo Fu is crazy. He doesn't even care about the Uchiha clan, let alone Konoha."

"Remember, even if we can't become his friends, we of the Hyuga clan must never become his enemies." The Hyuga clan's elder said with a sigh, "Those of you who haven't truly experienced it won't understand just how powerful and despair-inducing those legendary eyes can be."

"I understand!" Hiashi Hyuga nodded, he truly understood the meaning of the clan elder's words.

The elder simply didn't want the Hyuga clan to openly take sides between Konoha and the Uchiha.

Or rather, in a contest between a numerous faction and a powerful individual, the best course of action for the Hyuga clan was to be a fence-sitter. Even if they couldn't gain any benefits from it, they must never become a sacrifice for either side.

Coincidentally, those families with long-standing traditions guessed that since Luo Fu had the courage to overturn the table, he must have the corresponding strength.

Although it was already the tail end of the Third Shinobi World War, within the various major families, besides some books and documents, there were still some old relics who had experienced the Warring States Period, or rather, the beginning of Konoha.

These people, almost without exception, guessed that Luo Fu might have awakened those eyes as terrifying as Madara Uchiha's.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, and Shimura Danzo, who had just received some simple treatment for his severed arm, gathered together again in the Hokage Building.

Besides the three of them, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane also arrived late.

"Outrageous, this Uchiha Luo Fu is too outrageous, we must not let such a person live." After learning about what happened in the Root base not long ago, Koharu Utatane was immediately furious and flew into a rage.

But apart from Koharu Utatane, the other figures, including Minato Namikaze, all had solemn expressions.

For a moment, Koharu Utatane even suspected whether they had concealed something in their description just now.

However, before Koharu Utatane could ask again, Homura Mitokado said in a heavy tone: "You… you suspect that this Uchiha Luo Fu has awakened those legendary eyes, he… he is now like Madara Uchiha?"

Koharu Utatane's heart instantly skipped a beat, and she felt a sense of scalp tingling.

"You… what did you say, that Uchiha Luo Fu… he… he has the same eyes as Madara Uchiha, this… how is this possible? What does he have to rely on?" Koharu Utatane felt both hatred and fear in her heart.

"Danzo." Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and took a big puff of his pipe, saying: "Can you tell me, what exactly do you want to do? Why did you trick this Uchiha Luo Fu to the Root base in the name of the Hokage? What do you want to get from him?"

"Hiruzen, at this time, shouldn't the focus of our discussion be that Uchiha Luo Fu?" Homura Mitokado changed the subject.

Minato Namikaze smiled coldly and said: "I roughly guessed what Elder Danzo's purpose was in deliberately having the Root ninjas disguise as the Hokage's direct Anbu. Those sealing technique books of Luo Fu were jointly decided by me and Kushina to give to him. That belongs to Kushina's Uzumaki clan. Elder Danzo, you've reached too far."

"This old man is for the village." Shimura Danzo said, stiffening his neck.

"Is that so?" Minato Namikaze said with a look of disdain: "Are you doing this for the village because it's too peaceful, too safe, and too warm? So, you deliberately create several powerful enemies for the village. They are clearly ninjas of the village, but now they are forced to become enemies of the village by your actions. Is this how you are for the village?"

"Namikaze Minato, you…"

"Danzo!" Minato Namikaze slammed the table and glared at Shimura Danzo, saying: "Don't forget, I am the Hokage."

These words, which should have been spoken between himself and his close friend Sarutobi Hiruzen, were suddenly spoken by Minato Namikaze.

For a moment, Shimura Danzo's mind went blank for a moment.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced suspiciously at Minato Namikaze, who stood up and confronted Shimura Danzo, but he naturally regarded Minato Namikaze's performance at the moment as being directed at Shimura Danzo's actions.

Little did he know that Minato Namikaze, this old good person like a little sun, was so furious at this moment, not only because Shimura Danzo actually wanted to seize the sealing techniques belonging to the Uzumaki clan from Luo Fu's hands, but more importantly, he and Uzumaki Kushina had actually experienced being schemed against.

In Minato Namikaze's heart, although he knew that as the strongest ninja village in the ninja world, Konoha inevitably had some darkness.

But Minato Namikaze never dreamed of it.

The darkness of the village had already enveloped him so early.

Even the relationship between himself and Uzumaki Kushina was brought together under the calculations of the higher-ups of the village.

And all along, Minato Namikaze believed that the relationship between him and Uzumaki Kushina was entirely the result of the two people attracting each other.

This feeling in Minato Namikaze's heart was as if his entire life had been blasphemed.

No matter how good of a person he was, when the bottom line was trampled on, Minato Namikaze inevitably broke out.

"Alright, everyone calm down." Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment and said: "Now the focus of our discussion should still be on Uchiha Luo Fu. As for Danzo, you should restrain yourself in the future. Don't forget that Minato is the Hokage now. We are just assistant elders."

Shimura Danzo came back to his senses, but his heart became more and more preoccupied with the position of Hokage.

If he were the Hokage, how could he allow this yellow-haired brat, Minato Namikaze, to rebuke him so disrespectfully?

"This old man has already paid an arm for this." Shimura Danzo said: "This Uchiha Luo Fu is an evil scourge. Letting him stay in the village is a huge threat to the entire village. Hiruzen, we have to find a way to eliminate this threat for the village as soon as possible."

"Danzo, tell me your thoughts?" Koharu Utatane couldn't wait to speak.

Only those of them who had experienced the era when Madara Uchiha was still alive truly knew how powerful and invincible Madara Uchiha was back then.

To some extent, the former Madara Uchiha was simply like a nightmare for the entire ninja world. If it weren't for the existence of Hashirama Senju, who firmly suppressed Madara Uchiha, who knows what the ninja world would be like now.

It should be known that when Madara Uchiha was alive, even alone, he could force the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure to kneel on the ground and talk to him.

That was a truly terrifying force that possessed the power to crush the ninja villages of the Five Great Nations on his own.

Even after Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, for decades, such a terrifying existence that completely exceeded the upper limit of a ninja's strength had not appeared in the ninja world.

Even if Uchiha Luo Fu had a little bit of such a tendency, Koharu Utatane would have difficulty sleeping and eating, and couldn't wait to kill Luo Fu as soon as possible, or at least drive this terrifying guy out of Konoha Village.

Faced with Koharu Utatane's inquiry, Shimura Danzo was suddenly speechless.

He was just used to saying that.

Luo Fu was completely different from all the ninjas he had known before. He was a madman, a reckless madman who possessed great power.

He neither recognized the Will of Fire, nor had any attachment to the village, and even as an Uchiha, he had no feelings for his clansmen. This kind of lone wolf, who possessed great power and could detonate the crisis of the entire village's destruction at any time. Even Shimura Danzo, who was known as the darkness of the ninja world, couldn't think of a way to deal with it.

If it weren't for the fact that the major ninja villages were in an unprecedented low period of strength due to the Third Shinobi World War.

Then Shimura Danzo might be able to take a gamble and eliminate Luo Fu at the cost of a huge price, but now, the key point that Luo Fu seized on them was that the Third Great War had not really come to an end.

Once Konoha clashes with him, it will inevitably be jointly besieged by the major ninja villages again.

A tiger that falls into the plains is bullied by dogs. If Konoha really falls to that bottom, then it will really be impossible to recover.

Even if Konoha has the ability to resist the Four Great Ninja Villages, it can't withstand those small ninja villages that think they can take advantage of it.

No matter how strong Konoha is, it is impossible to withstand the power of the entire ninja world.

At the current point in time, the combination of Luo Fu's strength and his don't-care-about-anything personality has become the reason why he is now both feared and impossible to deal with.

Glancing faintly at Shimura Danzo and others, Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Minato, I remember that you were quite close to this Luo Fu when you were in the ninja school. Moreover, not long ago, you and your wife even gave him the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan. If possible, I hope you can have a good talk with him."

Minato Namikaze nodded expressionlessly.

In the Hokage Building, while having a headache about this guy who suddenly jumped out, Luo Fu.

Inside the Uchiha clan's compound.

Ever since returning from the Root base, Fugaku Uchiha, who used to wish he could be Luo Fu's own brother, had not asked Luo Fu a word after returning home.

In fact, Luo Fu's reckless and willful actions at the Root base had deeply stimulated Fugaku Uchiha.

He had always believed that Luo Fu, after accepting the chakra blade he provided, and even proactively offering to recommend him as an elder of the Uchiha clan to compensate for the four ninja swords he had lost,

all of this was shattered into a dream after Luo Fu said those words at the Root headquarters.

Sensing her husband's unusual mood,

Uchiha Mikoto supported her lower back with one hand and stroked her bulging belly with the other, saying, "Anata, what happened?"

Uchiha Fugaku glanced at his wife with a gloomy expression, then rubbed his cheeks and said, "What are you doing out here? Go back and rest, I'm fine, don't worry."

Uchiha Fugaku's reaction only made it impossible for Uchiha Mikoto to return to rest with peace of mind.

Hesitating for a moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck her, and Uchiha Mikoto blurted out, "You… you wouldn't be upset about that Uchiha Luo Fu, would you?"

Thinking of how her grandfather had joined forces with the village's higher-ups to persecute Luo Fu, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt towards Luo Fu.

"How did you know?" Uchiha Fugaku was stunned, then stood up and came to Uchiha Mikoto's side, helping his wife, who had difficulty moving, and said with a wry smile, "Am I being that obvious?"

Without answering directly, Uchiha Mikoto glared at Fugaku playfully, and obediently sat down on the sofa with Uchiha Fugaku's support.

"Can you tell me, what exactly did this Luo Fu do to make you, the clan leader, so troubled?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Uchiha Fugaku's heart was filled with resentment towards Luo Fu.

"Hmph, this Luo Fu is an ungrateful fellow. I spared no expense to forge a chakra blade for him, you know about this, and even to compensate him for the loss of his four ninja swords, I even wanted to recommend him to become an elder at the clan meeting, but do you know what this guy said when we were at the Root headquarters not long ago?"

Without waiting for Uchiha Mikoto to ask, Uchiha Fugaku began to speak on his own, "This guy not only scoffs at the Will of Fire, but also disdains the village, and even… even the Uchiha clan, he doesn't care about at all."

Although he was speaking in anger, the moment Uchiha Fugaku's voice fell, he keenly felt his wife suddenly tremble. The color instantly drained from her fair face, turning it pale.

"Mikoto? What's wrong…?" Uchiha Fugaku was puzzled, but he inexplicably had a premonition, it seemed… his wife, Uchiha Mikoto, seemed to know some information that he didn't.

"Do you know something about Luo Fu?" Uchiha Fugaku asked naturally.

Despite the relatively large age gap between Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto, with Uchiha Fugaku being more than five years older than Uchiha Mikoto,

Uchiha Fugaku and Mikoto were a perfect example of a couple, and they wouldn't deliberately hide anything from each other.

Uchiha Mikoto took a deep breath and said, "Fugaku, I… I might really know why Luo Fu scoffs at the Will of Fire, and doesn't care about the village, or even our Uchiha clan."

His mind felt somewhat strange, after all, Uchiha Fugaku knew that Luo Fu had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Almost everyone who awakened those eyes underwent a huge change in personality, and Luo Fu's change, although unexpected, was also reasonable.

However, his wife's reaction made Uchiha Fugaku feel an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Fugaku, you should know that the Fourth Hokage's wife, Uzumaki Kushina, came to Konoha after the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, right?"

Uchiha Fugaku became even more confused. Weren't they talking about Luo Fu? Why did it involve the Fourth Hokage's wife?

However, he didn't interrupt, but nodded and quietly waited for his wife's explanation.

Soon, under Uchiha Mikoto's narration, a tragic love story formed in Uchiha Fugaku's mind.

"To think… to think it would be like this?" Uchiha Fugaku never dreamed that Luo Fu, who was like a little nobody in the clan, was not only friends with the Fourth Hokage when he was in the Ninja Academy, but even… even almost ended up with the Fourth Hokage's wife.

What Uchiha Fugaku didn't expect even more was that Luo Fu had been persecuted by Konoha's higher-ups at a young age, and the Uchiha clan had also become accomplices in this, even directly wanting him dead.

No wonder.

No wonder Luo Fu didn't care about the Will of Fire at all, and looked at the village with disdain. Even when treating the Uchiha clan, he didn't take it to heart at all.

It turned out that Luo Fu had seen through the village and this so-called clan so long ago.

After learning the truth, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly became a little conflicted.

If Luo Fu was ungrateful, he could accuse Luo Fu without any guilt, but now, Uchiha Mikoto knew that all of this was the fault of the village's higher-ups and the Uchiha clan themselves.

This made Uchiha Fugaku feel a little embarrassed.

It must be admitted that, to some extent, although most of the Uchiha clan were not very bright, and even had great mental problems, the Uchiha clan were the most emotionally rich and cared about feelings.

Of course, Uchiha Itachi's twisted mentality was not necessarily a manifestation of this characteristic, it's just that what he cared about was the self-righteous Hokage thinking.

Other Uchiha were also similar in this regard.

Sasuke suffered the hatred of clan extermination, but because of his feelings for Naruto, he repeatedly showed mercy to Naruto.

It can only be said that the Uchiha clan has feelings. But their feelings, in most cases, were misplaced.

In comparison, Uchiha Fugaku was the more normal one.

Rubbing his temples with a headache, Uchiha Fugaku said, "Mikoto, then what do you think we should do now to win back Luo Fu?"

Uchiha Mikoto thought for a while and said, "Luo Fu has never forgotten Kushina all these years, which shows that he is a person who values ​​feelings very much, maybe we can start from this point."

"You mean, find him a wife?" Uchiha Fugaku said as a matter of course.

"You…" Uchiha Mikoto glared at Fugaku angrily and said, "I just said that he hasn't forgotten Kushina all these years, have you forgotten? If you directly find him a wife, it will only make him more alienated from you, and even hate you."

"This won't work, that won't work, then what should we do?" Uchiha Fugaku said dissatisfied.

"Alright, don't worry." Uchiha Mikoto said, "He can't let go of Kushina, then we'll start with family affection."

"I remember, Luo Fu's parents and relatives all seem to be dead." Fugaku said distressedly.

"He still has a relative." Uchiha Mikoto said, "After I learned about Luo Fu's affairs, I specifically checked the clan's family tree. Among his relatives, although there are indeed no direct relatives, there is an aunt, and she is a married-out aunt."

"That's not right." Fugaku shook his head and said, "If I remember correctly, Luo Fu's father only had one younger brother who died young, and he didn't have any sisters at all, so where did Luo Fu get an aunt from?"

"Listen to me first." After glaring at Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Mikoto continued, "According to the records on the family tree, this aunt is considered a niece of Luo Fu's grandfather."

Uchiha Fugaku suddenly understood, but at the same time, he showed a troubled expression and said, "This relationship is too distant, isn't it?"

"The key now is to let Luo Fu re-establish bonds with us, and with the village."

It must be admitted that Uchiha Mikoto was right on this point. The distance of the relationship is not important. What is important is that this is a way to establish a bond with Luo Fu.

Seeing that her husband agreed with her statement, Uchiha Mikoto continued, "This aunt of Luo Fu's is only a few years older than him, and she is also a married-out girl from our Uchiha clan. Her former name was Uchiha Hazuki, and this aunt of his also has a daughter who is about the same age as Itachi."

"I will arrange for the clan members to let this Uchiha Hazuki return to the clan as soon as possible." Uchiha Fugaku knew that if he wanted to establish a bond with this lone wolf Luo Fu now, he had to complete it in a short period of time, otherwise, who knew if this guy would really pull the entire Konoha down with him to perish together?

Unaware that Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto were actually finding him a relative,

Luo Fu, who had returned from the Root headquarters, began his own research on Star Release.
