"Shimura Danzō?" Sasuke's thoughts drifted into deep memories. Perhaps killing Danzo back then was a mistake.

He should be torn to pieces, and then Orochimaru should heal him before he's torn to pieces again.

No, it seems that Orochimaru was already dead by then; I miscalculated.

At this moment, Sasuke felt a slight pang of guilt for killing Orochimaru back then.

In other words, Orochimaru hadn't actually attacked him yet; he was the one who preemptively killed him.

"The Sarada clan is amazing! Being ranked tenth already makes Elite Jonin. I can't even imagine going any higher!" Iwabee said enviously.

"Maybe Sarada can awaken that Sharingan in the future and become a powerful figure like Kagami Uchiha," Kakei Sumire chimed in.

Hearing her classmates' exclamations of amazement, Sarada felt no joy whatsoever.

She felt more regret than anything else; she had never heard of these Uchiha Clan members before.

"Will the fathers of these people make the list?" Sarada couldn't help but wonder.

She knew nothing about her father. If the Inventory System could play back her father's experiences, would she be able to see the stories between her father and mother?

[TOP9 Uchiha Fugaku]

[Name: Uchiha Fugaku]

[Position: Head of the Uchiha Clan, Captain of the Konoha Military Police Force]

[Strength: Kage Level]

[Died at age 40.]

[Sasuke:??]

Upon seeing this name, Sasuke was the first to break down.

[Sarada: Daddy, is this Grandpa?]

Sarada asked her father in the chat group, as she knew nothing about her grandfather.

[Uchiha Sakura: Sarada, you're still young, these things...]

Sakura wanted to say something, but Sasuke interrupted her.

Now that the review screen has appeared, it's impossible to hide it. Besides, Sasuke believes that his father's position at the time made it a very difficult choice.

[At this moment, the summary began playing a brief introduction of Uchiha Fugaku.]

Most importantly, it's a bloodless revolution.

He attempted to find a glimmer of hope for the Uchiha Clan in the targeted Konoha, but ultimately died at the hands of his own son Uchiha Itachi.

[Iwabee: Political, political, coup?]

[Kaminarimon Denki: Is this... is this something we can see?]

In an instant, everyone's opinion of Sarada was completely changed.

They used to think the Uchiha Clan was a noble family, but now they see them as a hot-blooded gangster.

They're planning a coup!

[Hoshigaki Shizuma: A coup d'état? So this really is the only path to peace.]

[Karatachi Kagura: Hoshigaki Shizuma! What are you talking about?!]

Karatachi Kagura immediately rebuked him, not wanting the Hoshigaki Shizuma to arrest Mizukage Hoshigaki.

And shouldn't you try to hide your reactionary thoughts a little, instead of making them so obvious? What you're doing is making the Mizukage very uncomfortable.

As expected, Chōjūrō was caught in a dilemma after hearing about Hoshigaki Shizuma's rebellious thoughts.

On one hand, Hoshigaki Shizuma Shinobi with considerable talent in the village, and if I were to deal with him, Kirigakure would have even fewer people left.

But if I don't deal with him, he'll keep spreading reactionary ideas in the village Tenten.

Several times, even Kagura almost joined them.

[Yamanaka Inojin: Has the Uchiha Clan become so powerful that they can even stage a coup?]

Inojin's own father was a member of the Anbu, so he knew how powerful the Anbu was.

To think of rebelling is simply wishful thinking.

Sarada's eyes were also fixed on the screen; she wanted to know if the fact that only her father remained in the Uchiha Clan was related to this so-called coup.

During the Third Shinobi World War.

For some unknown reason, Uchiha Fugaku brought his four-year-old son, Itachi, to the battlefield.

Let his son experience the cruelty of war.

However, Little Itachi's awareness was clearly much higher than his father's; Fugaku simply wanted Itachi to experience the cruelty of war.

But Itachi had already begun to ponder why conflict occurs between people.

Witnessing the brutal killings, the mutual hatred between the two sides, and the unwavering will to take another's life deeply shocked the young Itachi.

[Akimichi Chōchō: Are even such young children being taken to the battlefield?]

At this moment, Akimichi Chōchō didn't even dare to eat the potato chips in her hand. There were corpses everywhere. How could that four-year-old child have survived?

Sarada: Mom, who is he?

Sarada was also curious about who this adorable-looking child was, as her mother had never mentioned him before.

[Sasuke: This is your uncle, Uchiha Itachi.]

Mentioning Uchiha Itachi, he's the one who could stop countless children from crying. Parents would often use the phrase "Uchiha Itachi is coming" to scare any disobedient child.

Sasuke didn't understand why his father insisted on taking his son to that battlefield.

Then everyone saw Itachi rescue an injured person, even though that person wasn't Konoha Shinobi.

"Wow, Sarada's uncle is so kind!" Akimichi Chōchō exclaimed in surprise.

Not only did he show no emotion in the face of so many corpses, but he also went to save people.

"Idiot, that's the enemy!" Only Nara Shikadai disagreed, saying that going to save the enemy at this time was no different from being a saint.

"No way!" many of the girls in the class immediately retorted.

Even today, in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, good looks are still a valuable asset in the Ninja Academy.

Sarada never expected her uncle to be so popular, but the moment of his popularity was abruptly shattered.

The rescued Shinobi, upon recognizing the other party as a member of Konoha, decisively attacked, intending to kill the brat.

At this moment, Fugaku rushed over. He had only come here to show Itachi what it was like; if something happened, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Mikoto.

However, Itachi instinctively killed the person he had just rescued.

"Father, why did he kill me?" It's hard to understand how a young Itachi could utter such a sentence.

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Fugaku began to explain to Itachi: "Because this is war. Not between people, but between nations. So, meaningless killings happen between strangers. This is the world of Shinobi."

"Itachi, remember this scene before you," Fugaku said to Itachi, pointing to the battlefield strewn with corpses.

Fugaku died without ever knowing what question he had left Itachi with: the meaning of life.

The Third World War ended, at the cost of countless Konoha Shinobi dying in the process, but peace was achieved in return.

At this moment, in front of the huge Memorial Stone in Konoha, all the Uchiha clan members looked at a silver-haired boy.

"I see, Obito?" Kakashi was vacationing in some tavern nearby, recalled this scene.
