Konohamaru Defects

Uchiha Compound.

"What are you doing, Nissan?!"

In his familiar home, everything seemed so unfamiliar. At this moment Sasuke Uchiha, clutching his slashed arm, stared in shock at the scene before him.

His older brother, Uchiha Itachi, stood before the corpses, the two still-warm bodies of his parents.

"My foolish brother."

With a cold expression, Uchiha Itachi's Three Tomoe in his eye sockets began to spin and transform into Mangekyo. In an instant, the Genjutsu was activated, and Sasuke's pupils contracted as he entered another scene.

Countless familiar faces within the family fell one after another, their blood flowing freely.

At this moment, young Sasuke's pupils dilated as he stared at the scene in shock.

"No! Don't let me see this kind of thing! Why! Why did my brother do this!"

"No! No! I don't want to see!"

At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha watched in horror as his clan was massacred, and the murderer was none other than his own brother.

"Daddy! Mommy! Don't kill Daddy and Mommy!"

Sasuke stared in shock at what he saw, screaming at the top of his lungs, but as the ninja sword swung down, blood splattered everywhere, and Sasuke screamed in despair.

Outside world...

"Sasuke's special Chakra began to increase rapidly and started to affect his optic nerve..."

"Not enough! This increase is not enough to meet the evolutionary standard."

On the operating table, Sasuke Uchiha pain as Kabuto Yakushi calmly reported all the data.

At that moment, Orochimaru revealed a fanatical look, gripped a thick syringe, and injected it directly into Sasuke's left arm.

"Heh heh, if I'm not mistaken, after the First Generation Cells enter, the fusion of the Senju and Uchiha powers will give birth to the All Creation..."

As the pale green Hashirama Cells were injected, Sasuke Uchiha's body began to convulse in pain, while Uchiha Yoru solemnly made Sasuke experience the pain in his mind.

"Hashirama Cells are starting to devour Sasuke's cells! Danger! Danger! The special Chakra in Sasuke's brain is surging wildly!"

At this moment, Kabuto Yakushi couldn't help but show a look of fascination and fanaticism as he looked at the data. It was as if he and Orochimaru were conducting some kind of representative research.

"Sasuke's cells began to become extremely active, starting to suppress Hashirama Cells, and the cells from both sides began to engulf each other..."

Under intense pain, Sasuke Uchiha's body convulsed on the operating table, blood slowly trickling from his mouth and nose. This scene horrified Kabuto Yakushi.

Only Orochimaru watched the scene before him with fanaticism, as if it were a work of art he had created himself, showing no sign of worry whatsoever.

"It's started! The fusion has begun! Fusion has occurred!"

Finally, after a long and agonizing wait, Kabuto Yakushi looked at the changes in the data and his expression of excitement and anticipation appeared.

"Some cells have begun to fuse; Sasuke's cells and some of Hashirama Cells have begun to fuse..."

As some cells begin to fuse, the backlash within the body weakens, and the intensity of the convulsions also gradually decreases.

After an unknown amount of time, Sasuke Uchiha suddenly opened his eyes and roared, "No!"

The crimson Three Tomoe began to spin wildly. With continued spinning and stimulation from the new power surging within his body, the Three Tomoe, whose pupils were spinning rapidly, finally broke through the critical point and began to connect.

Six-Pointed Mangekyō Sharingan!

Finally, with the transformation of his eyes, as if he had exhausted his last bit of strength, Sasuke Uchiha Mangekyo in an instant, and he fainted again, falling into a deep sleep.

At this moment, the data graph on Kabuto Yakushi's monitor also began to show a straight line.

"The special Chakra in Sasuke's mind, after surging beyond its limits, has calmed down. The data shows a tenfold difference compared to when he had Three Tomoe."

With Kabuto Yakushi's report, the brightly lit operating room returned to calm, and Orochimaru revealed a fascinated and fanatical look in his eyes.

Orochimaru's terrifying laughter echoed as his golden snake eyes gazed at a work of art with a mixture of excitement and fanaticism.

"Hehehe, Sasuke is truly a perfect creation. It won't be long before we replace Sasuke's eyes with Itachi's, and add Hashirama's Hashirama Cells to his body. Hehehe, this is a god we created with our own hands. I will witness the day Sasuke awakens the Rinnegan."

Land of Fire Border.

"Brother Naruto."

As Konoha Genin, Konohamaru was assigned to escort supplies to the front lines, but he encountered Naruto Uzumaki at the border.

At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki looked resolute. The two looked at each other, Konohamaru knew that this was the direction leading to the Land of Rain.

"Konohamaru, go back."

Naruto Uzumaki seems to have matured, but not by much. Perhaps it's the influence of Ashura, but Naruto has exhibited several unusual behaviors in the original story.

For example, one minute he's fighting Pain to the death, and the next he's talking Talk no Jutsu about forgiving him.

Furthermore, when facing Obito, Naruto, what interaction did you have with Obito? At most, Obito held you when you were born and even thoughtfully gave you an Explosive Tag.

The result was a touching scene of mutual understanding and empathy, where parents set aside their hatred and chose to forgive each other, and the two sides immediately entered a scene of life-and-death companionship.

If it were Kakashi, I could understand, but Naruto?

"Go back?"

At this moment, Konohamaru revealed a sarcastic smile, "Why is it that you, Naruto, can be willful, while I have to listen to all the rules?"

"Why did Uchiha Yoru Hokage?! Why?! Konoha belonged to my grandfather! The Uchiha Clan are the traitors!"

At this moment, Konohamaru spoke angrily and resentfully. In the original timeline, when Tsunade returned to succeed Fifth Hokage, Konohamaru, a brat who hadn't even graduated yet, was able to enter the Hokage Building's data storage room without permission and even set up traps.

What's this?

This reveals two points: firstly, the immense power of the Sarutobi Clan, as their influence remains even after the passing of the Third Hokage; secondly, the influence of the Sarutobi Clan persists in various departments.

Secondly, the Sarutobi Clan has treated Konoha and the Hokage as their private property. It's understandable that Konohamaru can freely enter and leave the Hokage Office Building, since he's just looking for his grandfather after losing his parents.

It's understandable that the Hokage would have some special privileges.

But Konohamaru's ability to freely enter and exit the Hokage Building's database is excessive!

Furthermore, what did Konohamaru say when he set the trap? He practically treated the Hokage as his grandfather's private property. Is it possible that he didn't teach him by example?

After Sarutobi Asuma's death, Tsunade didn't seem to be in a hurry to take revenge. If Shikamaru's group hadn't taken revenge for their teacher on their own, Asuma's death would have been the end of it.

From an outsider's perspective, which ninja village doesn't lose ninjas? Why should you, Shikamaru, have to seek revenge just because your teacher died, especially by acting on your own?

If everyone wanted to be like Shikamaru, then the hatred from the Third Shinobi World War would be far too great; they could just fight every day without ever needing a ceasefire.

Then there was the Fourth Great Ninja War, where almost all of the Sarutobi Clan's elite ninjas were deployed to the battlefield. To say that it wouldn't have been possible without Tsunade's methods would be a joke.

No matter how good the relationship, no leader could tolerate such a family that didn't know when to advance or retreat.

"Konohamaru!"

Naruto Uzumaki stared solemnly at his subordinate, who was now consumed by hatred, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Konoha doesn't belong to anyone, it belongs to everyone."

"Everyone?"

Upon hearing Naruto Uzumaki's words, Konohamaru laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Brother Naruto, do you know how the Ninja Academy teaches?"

"Let me tell you, Konoha was founded by the Senju and Uchiha. Back then, these two great clans accepted countless exiled ninja clans and civilians for the sake of peace. Who are you referring to as 'everyone'?"

"Or are you saying, Naruto- nii, that Konoha belongs to you too?"

Faced with Konohamaru's taunts, Naruto Uzumaki was speechless. He believed he was right; Konoha belonged to everyone, and it was because of everyone that Konoha existed, not just any one family.

However, it is true that the Uchiha and Senju clans founded Konoha, and what Uchiha Yoru is doing now clearly indicates that he is preparing for a hereditary system.

"My grandfather led Konoha in Third Shinobi World War. If it weren't for him, Konoha would have been wiped out long ago. But what about now? My grandfather is branded as a dictator and a tyrant. Is there any justice in this Shinobi World?!"

Konohamaru said angrily, "If it weren't for my grandfather, Konoha would have disappeared long ago!"

Regarding the hatred between the two sides, Naruto Uzumaki took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Konohamaru, I can only apologize for the Sarutobi Clan incident, but I believe you should inherit the will of the Third Hokage and become the new guardian of Konoha."

Konohamaru was filled with resentment, but it was clear that Naruto Uzumaki would not avenge him.

After all, the Sarutobi Clan had been branded as traitors, though it hadn't been officially announced, since they were wiped out by Sarutobi Asuma.

"Konohamaru, go back after you finish your mission. I still have a mission to complete."

Naruto Uzumaki quickly tidied himself up and headed into the depths of the forest, while Konohamaru behind him glared at him with resentment.

"Brother Naruto! Why won't you help me! If it weren't for my grandfather, you would have starved to death long ago! Have you forgotten how good my grandfather was to you!"

A small favor is appreciated, but an excessive one breeds resentment!

However, after Naruto Uzumaki left, a figure emerged from the forest, a ninja dressed as a masked person with God's Headband on his head.

However, the scars around his eyes clearly showed that his face was disfigured. But when Konohamaru saw the person who came, he nodded respectfully and said, "Captain Ueki."

This ninja is a Jōnin from Konoha, and he came from Root.

They seemed to have undergone some kind of brutal training, and were publicly claimed to have died in battle, but in reality, they faked their deaths and joined the Root.

However, that's all in the past. After Uchiha Yoru took over, he withdrew from Root and became an ordinary Jōnin of Konoha.

However, at this moment, as Ueki looked at the respectful young man before him, a deep resentment was hidden in the depths of his calm eyes.

"Konohamaru, I understand what you've been through. I even served under your parents back then."

The Jōnin the front line treated him extremely well, and upon hearing this, Konohamaru immediately showed a grateful expression.

"I see, no wonder the Ueki team leader took such good care of me."

However, Konohamaru was unaware that the Ueki captain who had been so kind to him was indeed telling the truth; he had once served under his parents, though the process had been somewhat painful.

Similarly, he didn't Ueki from the Root; he only returned home legitimately after coming back from Otogakure. Root was merely a plausible excuse given to him by Uchiha Yoru.

After returning home, he was very grateful. His family was doing well, and Uchiha Yoru had secretly helped them a lot. After his child graduated, the ninja who led the team was Jōnin of the Uchiha Clan, for which he was extremely grateful.

"Konohamaru, I understand what you've been through."

When Ueki expressed his feelings, Konohamaru showed a grateful expression.

"Captain Ueki, ever since my grandfather passed away, all those ninjas in the village who used to fawn over me have left, and some even look at me with disgust. They're all despicable people..."

"A bunch of damned scoundrels! Back when my grandfather was alive, every single one of them received his care. A bunch of ungrateful bastards..."

As if he had found an outlet, Konohamaru released all the pent-up frustration of the past few years, while Ueki, standing to the side, seemed to become an honest listener.

After venting his Jōnin, Konohamaru noticed the Konohamaru listening quietly to his Ueki and felt a pang of embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, team leader of the Ueki team."

The Ueki team leader nodded slightly, as if in agreement, "Yes, it's because of these ugly faces that the village has become so terrible."

"Ueki team leader, do you think so too?"

Konohamaru spoke excitedly, but he didn't notice the meaningful glance that the Ueki captain he was talking about gave him.

Especially when he saw Konohamaru's face, which looked exactly like Sarutobi's, he couldn't help but feel a surge of killing intent.

"Of course, I think so too!"

Especially when looking at the little devil of the same height, Ueki smiled.

"Konohamaru, there's something I need to discuss!"

As he said this, a suppressed emotion flickered in Jōnin Ueki's eyes. Under Konohamaru's astonished gaze, he secretly began to write on the other's palm with his fingers.

At that moment, Konohamaru snapped out of his daze and looked around as if nothing had happened.

However, the words constantly being written on his palm made his face grow increasingly pale and grim, and cold sweat poured down his face.

"Konohamaru, things have started to get unsettled at the border lately. After the mission is complete, return to the village with your Leading Jonin."

Ueki Jōnin up and left as if nothing had happened, his expression indifferent.

"Yes, Ueki team leader."

Konohamaru's face was pale, but he still nodded respectfully.

But as the Ueki disappeared from sight, Konohamaru could no longer control his emotions and a look of fear appeared on his face.

The other person had just written words on his palm: [Danger! Someone is targeting you! Return to the village immediately!]

"Who is it! Sand Ninja or Uchiha?!"

At this moment, Konohamaru was terrified. Among the enemies he knew, he had the most enemies, especially the Sand Ninja. After all, his grandfather, the Third Hokage, had schemed against the Sand Ninja, and even the Fourth Kazekage was killed by his grandfather.

In particular, the three children of the Fourth Kazekage were given special attention, and now all three are Jōnin with terrifying strength.

"No! We can't go back to the village; it's even more dangerous there!"

In an instant, Konohamaru realized something, and looking in the direction Naruto had left, a hopeful look appeared on his face.

This is the border. With the Shinobi World War imminent, if he escapes, the ninja villages won't have much power to hunt him down.

Rogue Ninja!

Konohamaru's panicked figure disappeared into the forest, unaware that a pair of eyes were fixed on the direction he vanished, a cold smile playing on their lips.

"Sarutobi, this is what you owe me!"

[Friendly reminder: The Ueki's identity appears in chapters 147 and 148]
