Zealot of the Will of Fire?

My Struggle.

This book appears to have only three chapters: My Family, In the Ninja Academy, and On the Ninja Battlefield.

However, it actually intersperses descriptions of customs and traditions from various countries, along with some interesting stories. At first glance, it seems like a purely realistic novel filled with bonds.

But this is just the beginning of the setup. As his power gradually grows, subsequent chapters will continuously reveal his ambition.

The shinobi who read these books before were already deeply engrossed.

To summarize it in one sentence, it's at the stage where you don't understand the meaning of the book when you first read it, but by the second time, you find yourself within its pages.

"Brat, is this the book you wrote?"

Tsunade, standing beside him, pouted with a bored expression as she held a red book in her hand. She had seen this book from the moment she started investigating this brat's information.

"Tch, only slightly better than that perverted old toad Jiraiya."

Different people draw different conclusions from reading this book.

For example, Jiraiya, upon reading it, believed the entire text revolved around precious comrades (bonds) and was written by someone embodying the Will of Fire.

However, in Tsunade's eyes, the book was only slightly better than the occasional erotic passages Jiraiya inserted; it was simply childish. Of course, this wasn't to say the book itself was bad.

It was just that Tsunade, due to the rift between the Senju Clan and the village, believed Uchiha Yoru had merely written a naive work because he hadn't experienced the darkness of the village before.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, saw something different: vision!

At such a young age, his vision was no longer limited to Konoha, but encompassed the entire Shinobi World.

But!

Upon seeing Uchiha Yoru's innocent smile, Orochimaru let out a hoarse chuckle. The innocence of youth, lacking a certain understanding of darkness, perhaps he wouldn't think this way in the future.

"Lord Yoru, thank you for your generosity. I believe you will need this Ninjutsu Scroll."

After completing his examination, Orochimaru's throat gurgled, and with a series of dry heaves, a deep green scroll slowly emerged.

Uchiha Yoru showed no disgust towards the mucus-covered scroll; instead, he curiously opened it. Upon seeing its contents, his face lit up with joy.

"Thank you, Lord Orochimaru."

He had the backing of his clan, so he naturally didn't lack ninjutsu. However, what Orochimaru gave him were the techniques for using these ninjutsu, how to conserve chakra, and how to mobilize it under different circumstances.

It could be said that if this scroll were thoroughly understood, one could save ten to twenty percent of their chakra for a single ninjutsu, while its power would actually increase by ten to twenty percent.

"Heh heh, Lord Yoru, I am very much looking forward to seeing how your influence will stir the windmills of the Shinobi World and bring about how much change."

With a hoarse laugh, the generous Orochimaru slowly departed the tent.

Uchiha Yoru was unfazed by Orochimaru's meaningful glance as he left, watching him depart with a smile.

His book had merely included a little bit of personal bias. As long as he didn't write the later parts, who would ever find out?

Orochimaru, upon exiting the tent, wore an expression of keen interest and murmured to himself:

"Lord Yoru, some talents are innate. Perhaps you haven't realized it yet, but once you understand the darkness of this Shinobi World, you might realize that we are the same kind of people."

With a hoarse chuckle, Orochimaru saw not only Uchiha Yoru's vision, which far surpassed everyone else's, but also a desire similar to his own: the pursuit of the true meaning of the Shinobi World and endless exploration.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have merely sighed. But Uchiha Yoru, who possessed the capital of both the Sharingan and Sage's power, two Kekkei Genkai, only lacked the experience of growth.

Inside the tent.

After Orochimaru left, Tsunade snorted unhappily.

"He's being so cryptic. Brat, don't say I didn't warn you, Orochimaru is very close to Root."

Uchiha Yoru smiled and nodded at Tsunade's warning. However, as he looked down at the Ninjutsu Scroll in his hand, a glint of ambition flashed in his eyes.

The spark had already been scattered across the Shinobi World. Given the right opportunity, he would become the consciousness of this spark and, with a wave of his arm, set this red spark ablaze throughout the Shinobi World!

"Captain Tsunade, don't worry. I just want to master this power quickly so I don't become a burden to my clan and to you..."

As Uchiha Yoru's quiet words trailed off, becoming softer and softer in Tsunade's ears, she couldn't help but hold her forehead in exasperation, looking at the seemingly obedient little puppy before her.

"Nawaki, Nawaki, you've really brought your sister a lot of trouble."

Helplessly, Tsunade mused inwardly. The change in this brat's mindset began after the Nawaki incident. From that moment on, he seemed to carry a heavy sense of guilt, causing him to abandon all his pride.

But she couldn't speak about Nawaki's affairs, especially given the changes she'd seen in this brat recently, which filled her with a complex sense of self-blame.

Looking down at the thin red book in her hand, Tsunade couldn't help but feel annoyed and decided to send the book to Nawaki, letting him know that a comrade was still blaming himself because of him.

If Uchiha Yoru knew that Tsunade would give this book to Nawaki, he would probably burst out laughing. This was effectively infiltrating the Senju from within!

Konoha.

Hokage's office building.

"Hiruzen, what is Tsunade doing! She's actually treating an Uchiha's Bloodline Disease!"

Shimura Danzo, his face filled with rage, questioned the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, with a barrage of accusations.

Facing the furious Shimura Danzo, Hiruzen Sarutobi calmly took a deep puff from his pipe and slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke.

"Cough cough! Hiruzen! I'm talking to you, what's with your attitude!"

"Open your eyes and look carefully. This Uchiha brat came into contact with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and because of a previous rampage, he witnessed the Tailed Beast's attack firsthand and developed an A-rank Ninjutsu without hand seals."

"How can Tsunade allow such a dangerous Uchiha?!"

Shimura Danzo said furiously. Every piece of information on this report touched his sensitive nerves.

Treating the Uchiha's bloodline disease? And coming into contact with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

Even creating an A-rank Ninjutsu without hand seals?

Seeing the enraged Danzo, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly put down his pipe, looked up, and said calmly to Danzo:

"The Uchiha have always borne the cost of treating their bloodline disease!"

Danzo's eyes widened upon hearing this. "So what! Is that the reason? Then what about contacting the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

Before Danzo could finish, Hiruzen waved his hand with a slight frown.

"Danzo, Kushina isn't a Jinchuriki yet, and regarding your so-called contact, you need to understand one thing: it was the Uchiha who prevented Kushina from going berserk."

Denied twice in a row, Danzo's face turned red and his neck bulged with anger. He slammed the table and roared:

"Hiruzen! This brat is too dangerous! He created an A-rank Ninjutsu without hand seals at just thirteen years old!"

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

Facing Danzo's relentless pressure, Hiruzen also showed a hint of anger. You're so brave, why don't you go confront the Uchiha clan yourself?

What kind of times are these? The Land of Rain battlefield is so tense, and you want to offend the Uchiha for these reasons?

Seeing Hiruzen repeat the same sentence, Shimura Danzo was so enraged that he angrily threw down a parting remark and slammed the door shut.

"Hiruzen! You will regret this!"

Watching Danzo leave, Hiruzen took another puff of his pipe and glanced at the Hokage Rock carvings. He sighed leisurely.

"Teacher, perhaps I now understand why you didn't choose Danzo back then. Winning this war is the priority right now."

Hiruzen muttered to himself and flipped open the intelligence scroll on Uchiha Yoru on his desk. It clearly documented everything from his birth to the Ninja Academy, even recording who he had conflicts with and who he argued or fought with at school. It was meticulously detailed.

Upon seeing all this information, Hiruzen couldn't help but look thoughtful, the pipe in his mouth clacking rhythmically.

"Awakening his Sharingan because of Nawaki? Is it due to the anger and sorrow of losing a comrade? He also wrote a book, 'My Struggle,' which was rated as one of the most authentic and passionate best-selling novels of the time..."

As a disciple of the Second Hokage, he understood the Uchiha clan very well, so he continued to muse aloud. Finally, Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and read the analysis and evaluation of the novel.

"Is he another mirror!"

The scroll clearly recorded the analysis from the Intelligence Department regarding the novel.

A fervent believer in the Will of Fire during his time at the Ninja Academy. Later adapted based on his own real experiences, with stories incorporated from his missions outside the village.

Evaluation: Suspected fervent believer of the Will of Fire.

After reading the final analysis and evaluation, Hiruzen narrowed his eyes. This word "suspected" was probably a label attached solely because of the Uchiha surname.
