The Uchiha Clan Extermination

The Uchiha clan, which Naruto considered Konoha's foremost family, soon met its end.

Within a few days, Naruto heard a horrifying piece of news.

The Uchiha clan had been massacred!

At first, Naruto couldn't believe it at all.

That was the Uchiha clan, Konoha's greatest clan.

So many three-tomoe eyes, and that bizarre Mangekyo.

How could they possibly be wiped out?

When he first heard the news, Naruto dismissed it as a joke. However, when he extended his senses, he clearly noticed a large area of the Uchiha compound was empty.

Even so, Naruto couldn't believe it. Maybe they all went on vacation?

This was Konoha's strongest clan, filled with countless experts and geniuses. How could they be so easily annihilated?

Yet, for the next three days, Naruto didn't see any sign of Sasuke. Moreover, the Konoha Military Police, whom he usually saw on the streets, seemed to have all disappeared.

Recalling the rumor again, Naruto truly felt something was wrong.

Could it really be true?

Naruto had no reliable source of information. He hadn't seen the Hokage old man in two months, and he couldn't completely trust what the children said. In the end, he could only ask his shadow clone to investigate.

The Konoha social butterfly, his shadow clone, immediately received news: it was indeed true.

Hearing this, Naruto's jaw nearly hit the floor.

What about Sasuke? Could he be dead too?

This doesn't make sense, right?

Naruto wore a look of existential doubt. Was it possible that the 'Ga-something' from his memories didn't have the Uchiha surname?

Fortunately, after searching, Naruto found Sasuke's chakra signature in the Konoha Hospital.

Thank goodness the protagonist was still alive.

But the entire Uchiha clan was wiped out, and within the village no less.

This world is too absurd!

Such an absurd event had actually happened for real. Where else in this world could be safe?

Glancing at the more than forty Revival Coins lying in his inventory, Naruto felt a little more at ease.

Looking up, he saw Sasuke sitting in his seat, exuding an aura of cold indifference. Naruto didn't know what to say for a moment.

After more than two months of interaction, Naruto realized that Sasuke was different from his outward appearance. He was actually quite easy to get along with, with a good personality. All that coolness and coldness was just his passive state.

Sasuke must be going through a difficult time.

Naruto had once thought that as the protagonist, Uchiha Sasuke would likely not have a smooth upbringing.

He never expected that this would be the script he received.

The author was too cruel.

A clan massacre!

More ruthless than protagonists who kill entire families at the drop of a hat.

Naruto had only heard of such things in the 'Ten Great Tortures' from his past life.

Moreover, this was even more brutal than a clan massacre; an entire surname was wiped out, leaving only one.

This was Konoha's most prominent surname.

In his past life, if you said you were going to eliminate everyone surnamed Wang in the country?

Are you trying to die?

Who was the killer?

Naruto suddenly became concerned about this point. The killer must be very strong. The Uchiha clan, with how many three-tomoe users? How many Mangekyo users? And they were wiped out so easily? This person might become his formidable enemy in the future.

The entire Konoha seemed to be tight-lipped about this news, but a rogue ninja wanted poster revealed the mastermind behind the massacre.

Uchiha Itachi!?

Naruto immediately sent a mental image of an old man on his phone.

How could it be him?

Isn't this Sasuke's beloved older brother, the eldest son of the Uchiha clan, the genius ninja of the Uchiha?

Why would it be him? Naruto pondered for ten days and ten nights without understanding.

In the end, he could only record this person in his little notebook.

Killed his own family, friends, girlfriend, even his parents.

Without a doubt, this was an absolutely ruthless individual.

He should stay far away from him if he ever saw him again.

The incident caused a huge stir and left a deep impact. Naruto, being a complete 'outsider,' only saw the surface of it, and it seemed like the matter ended there.

The village intentionally suppressed public opinion, and only Sasuke, the sole survivor, served as a reminder that the event had occurred.

As for the sole survivor, Sasuke, they could only turn sorrow into joy. Congratulations on joining the orphanage of protagonists and embarking on his counterattack journey to become the main character.

At the same time, Naruto decided he wouldn't collect 'protection fees' anymore, as Sasuke's situation was just too tragic.

Naruto was very curious about what would happen to Sasuke, the protagonist, next.

This was the protagonist's path to becoming stronger. If he could learn even a little, or even replicate the same growth path, with his SSSSSS Talent, it would be incredibly promising once activated.

After all, he was the protagonist. He couldn't possibly have spent his whole life working hard and still be weaker than Naruto is now, right?

However, these things weren't urgent.

Even the protagonist, Sasuke, was still in school. He could just observe his every move daily.

Naruto glanced at the time; it was still early. It was a good time to go upstairs and sell some potato chips.

More than two months had passed, and Naruto's business had expanded to other classes and even other grades. This world was too crazy. It wasn't just the old man; Naruto himself had to work hard to earn money. The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was just too expensive.

Meanwhile, Choji and Shikamaru were a bit late today. The main reason was that Shikamaru encountered a black cat blocking his path on the way, and then he got lost on the path of life.

In reality, Shikamaru just didn't want to go to school today and wanted to skip class.

Choji had persuaded him for a long time before he managed to convince Shikamaru.

Choji also had his own reasons. In all of Konoha, only his good friend Naruto sold potato chips at the cheapest price, half of the outside price. If he didn't go to school, even eating potato chips wouldn't feel right!

Although Shikamaru had said behind Naruto's back that Naruto's potato chips must have a very low cost, otherwise, they couldn't be sold so cheaply.

But what Naruto himself said also made sense. The potato chips growing on the trees needed time, and watering and fertilizing all incurred costs. This price was already very reasonable.

Speaking of Naruto, Choji had nothing else to envy about his good friend except for Naruto's skill in grilling fish and his ability to summon potato chips.

'If only I could summon potato chips in the future.' This thought had become Choji's obsession.

In short, after Choji's persuasion, they both unanimously decided to skip class with Naruto.

This was absolutely not because the two of them were craving Naruto's invincible grilled fish, absolutely not!

When they arrived at the classroom, neither of them saw Naruto. They asked someone and found out he had gone upstairs to sell potato chips.

They originally planned to wait, but at that moment, a commotion came from upstairs.

"They're fighting!"

"They're fighting."

A scout ran in from outside shouting.

"Who's fighting?"

"Naruto is fighting with Dubon and his group from the fourth grade!"

Upon hearing this news, Choji immediately stood up and ran upstairs.

"Choji!"

Shikamaru shouted, but Choji didn't stop. Thinking of Naruto's grilled fish and Choji's friendship, he could only grit his teeth and follow.

As soon as he reached the second floor, the scene was chaotic, with over a dozen people fighting.

In the chaos, Choji only saw a small figure flying up and down among a group of older children, as agile as a monkey, striking any enemy who approached him like a dragonfly skimming the water.

"Naruto, I'm here!" Choji roared and joined the fight.

Shikamaru shouted, trying to stop him, "Hey, Choji!"

Seeing Choji swallowed by the crowd, Shikamaru got a headache. Was this something you could join? Weren't all these older students stronger than you?

Then, bang~

A shoe flew out and hit him in the face, causing a nosebleed.

"This is so troublesome."

Shikamaru tied up his hair, his eyes determined, and joined the fray.
