Naruto: Had the Uchiha Never Been Born, the Shinobi World Would Have Been Shrouded in Endless Night

Seeing Samui's humiliated expression through the crack in the door, Darui didn't persist and felt it was time to leave.

"Ahem, I'll be going now. Have a good time."

He greeted them, and without waiting for Samui's reply, left without looking back. A slightly chilly summer breeze blew, carrying away the little warmth that had just risen in his heart.

"It's all your fault!" Samui turned around, his teeth itching with hatred. This man was truly shameless.

"What did I do?" Naruto withdrew his hand, wiped it on her clothes, his expression unchanged, and leaned against the door, saying calmly, "If I hadn't done this, how could he have left?"

"If he can't find out there's a second person in the house from being this close, then he can't possibly become the Raikage's right-hand man."

Upon hearing this, Samui was both angry and somewhat helpless, unable to find fault with Naruto's words. After Naruto's actions just now, he had indeed managed to get away with it reasonably.

But now that his innocence is gone, where can he go for justice? Maybe in Darui's mind, he's just someone who likes thrills. Enough said.

Fortunately, as far as she knew, Darui was not a gossip.

Taking a deep breath, Samui regained her composure. Seeing him try to wipe his wet hands on his clothes, she suddenly became annoyed.

"Go to the bathroom and wash!"

"Fine." Naruto said nonchalantly as he walked away, "Now that you know, you should think it over carefully. If you have any different opinions, you can bring them up."

"Bring it up?" Samui rolled his eyes; he was tired of hearing this kind of lie.

"So, have you thought it through?" Naruto emerged from the bathroom, waving his hand, and looked at Samui standing there, the majestic snow-capped mountain inspiring awe.

Fortunately, Naruto is a rule-abiding person and won't let small things ruin his chances. Besides, he knows how hard it is to work, going up mountains and down fields, pulling out radishes and bringing out mud with them.

"Do I still have a chance to refuse?" Samui asked rhetorically.

"You can raise different opinions, but I may not necessarily accept them." He swaggered toward the window, glancing down at Samui.

Appearances can be deceiving, and one cannot judge a book by its cover. She looks aloof, but it turns out she's a bit of a social butterfly.

"Heh." Samui laughed sarcastically, neither confirming nor denying.

"Goodbye then." Seeing that he couldn't get along with her, Naruto didn't press the matter further and simply climbed out the window and left.

Several days passed quickly as I stayed in the Kumogakure Village.

When Naruto left, he estimated that he would be able to return to the village in six months at most. But a month has passed, and there has been no movement from Kumogakure, which is really worrying.

"Time flies." After returning from Samui, he lay on the sofa lost in thought. "We need to speed things up in Kumogakure. Kumogakure 'Sasuke arrival was just in time."

"You've come at the right time, Sasuke- nii. Song Jiang, would have to give you a seat. I was just worried about how to properly bring Yugito back, and here you are."

On the other side, Sasuke, the timely rain, was huddled in a house, his face serious.

Karin opened her eyes and said firmly, "We've been discovered. The Kumogakure Anbu Ninja are searching for us extensively. What should we do?"

"Tch, these Kumogakure ninjas are really troublesome," Suigetsu complained, carrying an unsuitable large sword on his back. He had originally wanted to take back the Kubikiribōchō after learning of Zabuza's death.

But to everyone's surprise, the Kubikiribōchō had vanished without a trace, and even more strangely, the Raiga had disappeared as well. Legend has it that the Great Sword Samehada was in the hands of a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, a powerful monster.

Left with no other option, unable to find any of Hidden Mist Seven Swords of Mist, he could only make do with whatever sword he could find. Little did he know that every cloud has a silver lining.

The Seven Ninja Swords once held by the glorious Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Mist have now been added to the Death Reaper list of a certain Konohagakure- haired Konoha ninja; whoever takes them will die.

Even if the God of Ōtsutsuki takes it, he'll still die, Naruto said.

"What should we do?" Karin sighed. "We underestimated the ninjas of Kumogakure. The defenses here are more stringent than any other village."

"I've heard that the people of the Land of Lightning are fond of martial arts, and the ninjas of the Kumogakure are probably similar." Sasuke stood up and walked to the window to look out.

"It's not safe here, let's find somewhere else. If it's really not safe, let's leave first. Anyway, our goal isn't the Eight-Tails, so let's leave as soon as possible to avoid getting into trouble."

By then, Uchiha Sasuke had matured considerably. Itachi Uchiha's death and Konohagakure's conspiracy had made him much more composed, and even when consumed by vengeful rage, he wouldn't lose his mind.

If Naruto were here, he would definitely exclaim in surprise. Oh no, Uchiha Sasuke isn't stupid anymore; he won't be so easy to fool anymore.

"Let's go, let's go." Suigetsu, somewhat annoyed.

Inside, Jugo remained silent, listening to his companions' conversation. He needed to maintain emotional stability to suppress the turbulent Natural Energy within him.

In a small team, there's a cold-faced guy, a lovesick girl, and a goofball—it's bound to be anything but peaceful. Jugo simply watched them argue quietly, and even that warmed his heart.

The rain has stopped.

With Karin's sensory abilities, the four members of the Hawk Team easily traversed Kumogakure, dodging the Kumogakure Anbu Ninja. Except for one perverted screen-peeping monster, half his body was attached to the wall.

With a smile on his face, White Zetsu kept changing positions with a grin. Sometimes he would pop his head out of a wall, or appear on a rooftop or a rock wall, having a great time.

There was only one White Zetsu Clone, its purpose being merely surveillance. It seemed to have embraced some new quirk, letting itself go, and drew ever closer to the four members of the Hawk Team.

Sometimes, just as Suigetsu, the last of the four in the squad, turned a corner, White Zetsu would suddenly appear with a smiling face in the corner, which was quite terrifying.

"What is that?" The Yugito Nii, standing on high ground, saw the pale human face on the wall in the distance and couldn't help but swallow.

"White Zetsu, a bastard created by alien beings," Naruto explained incisively from the side.

"Alien. Bastard? What does that mean?" Yugito brushed his wind-blown hair aside and looked into the distance, in the direction the four members of the Hawk Team had moved.

As the rain stopped and the wind picked up, most of the buildings in the Kumogakure were short and stout cylindrical. Perhaps it was just a matter of aesthetics, but the more I looked at the Raikage Tower, the more it resembled a certain plant.

"It means exactly what it says. There are other races besides this planet, and they are very powerful," Naruto said absentmindedly. "Didn't I mention that to you last time?"

"Aliens? I thought you were joking." The Yugito Nii were startled. After all, hearing is believing, and now that they had witnessed this bizarre scene with their own eyes, they were dumbfounded.

"What are you talking about? Do I look like that kind of person?" he said.

"Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore." The Yugito Nii in a state of confusion, feeling their worldview crumble in an instant. Suddenly, they asked, "Was what you said last time about the end of Ninjutsu true?"

"Ah, guess for yourself." Naruto was too lazy to talk to Yugito. The more he talked about it, the more absurd it became, so it was better to let her figure it out herself.

The ultimate goal of Ninjutsu is inhumanity—detaching from human emotions and physical form, transforming into another species. The future of ninjas will be polarized: a few will become inhuman, while the majority will grow weaker and weaker.

In other words, the future belongs to the Otsutsuki. They will either become ordinary people or embark on the evolutionary path of purebloods.

Naruto had said these things to Yugito Nii, intentionally or unintentionally. He said them casually, Yugito Nii just listened to them casually.

But now, seeing the White Zetsu, her heart suddenly wavered. She couldn't help but wonder, if entering the Tailed Beast state is also a non-human state, what is the source of the Tailed Beast's power?

She suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed; thinking too much was never a good thing.

"Am I still considered a human being?" Yugito asked after hesitating for a long time.

Naruto merely glanced at her briefly and said something.

"I'm not worried at all. You're so weak, so don't doubt it. It's not a big problem."

Upon hearing this, the Yugito Nii were speechless. For a moment, they didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy. This man really deserved to die; his mouth should be sewn shut.

Naruto's words dispelled the tense atmosphere, and he pointed ahead and said.

"You go into the space first and stay for a while. I will pretend to be Sasuke Uchiha the Kumogakure Anbu over there. After the two groups start fighting, I will release you at the right time."

"So, when you see Sasuke Uchiha later, don't worry about anything else, just attack him, understand?"

"I understand." She nodded hesitantly, but couldn't help asking, "Aren't you and Sasuke Uchiha comrades?"

"He used to be, but now he's a rogue ninja." Naruto said, looking at the Yugito Nii. "He betrayed us, but I still consider him a good brother."

"I just wanted to teach him a little lesson, to wake him up and make him turn back from the wrong path, you understand?"

"Oh, oh." The Yugito Nii nodded blankly, feeling that something was wrong, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it. It was just too strange.

Wake up, brother? But this is clearly trying to kill him!

"Should we hold back when we make our move?" The Yugito Nii had fully accepted their traitorous identities and were starting to consider Naruto.

"No need!" Naruto waved his hand. "Sasuke Uchiha very strong. If you use your full strength, you could easily be killed by him if you're not careful."

"Okay, fine," she nodded.

Roof.

Naruto activated the Four Symbols Seal, Yugito into the Sealing Space, while he himself roused himself. First, he transformed into Sasuke's appearance, then headed straight for the Raikage Tower.

Find the Kumogakure Anbu? No, the Anbu is too weak. Go directly to the Fourth Raikage, A.

As for what would happen if Sasuke were targeted and attacked, he wasn't worried at all. Sasuke was the chosen one of this world, blessed with the Protagonist Halo; even if a hundred or eighty Raikage got close, he wouldn't die.

He wanted Yugito Nii to return; it would be too fake to just send a few weaklings from the Kumogakure Anbu as a formality. Only after Sasuke was thoroughly beaten and his gold coins were scattered would it seem more realistic to release Yugito Nii.

The Kumogakure Village members would only assume that Sasuke had kidnapped the Yugito Nii, unable to withstand the Raikage's heavy blow, had vomited them up.

In short, to make the scene more realistic, Sasuke must be given more power.

Raikage Tower.

The Fourth Raikage, A, was waiting for news in his office. Since he didn't know the specific identities of these insects who had infiltrated Kumogakure, he, as the Raikage, couldn't act rashly.

Otherwise, what if the Raikage Tower gets raided right after we leave?

This wasn't the first time something like this had happened; the first person to Kumogakure a raid on Kumogakure was that madman from Konohagakure, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju. Fortunately, the raid failed, which led to the subsequent negotiations.

That's why the Gold and Silver Brothers were so indignant, feeling that the Raikage was too weak and simply born of a mother.

Knock, knock, knock—the sound of knocking on the door rang out.

The Fourth Raikage turned around and found himself alone in the huge office. Standing in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling window, he could see half of the Kumogakure.

"Go in," he replied casually.

However, after waiting for a few seconds, the office door still didn't open. Instantly, the Fourth Raikage A, sensed something was wrong, turned his head sharply to stare at the doorway, his tiger eyes wide open.

The next moment, the door was kicked open with a loud bang.

"Damn it." Naruto, disguised as Sasuke Uchiha, wore the Uchiha Clan's signature maniacal laugh and looked at the Raikage with a mocking expression.

"It's you!" The Fourth Raikage roared in fury, his body surrounded by lightning Chakra. Looking at that smile, he wished he could tear that bastard's face off on the spot.

Seeing the crackling blue high-voltage electricity crackling around the Fourth Raikage, Naruto felt a chill run down his spine. The Kumogakure was full of body-training fanatics who would wear anything on their bodies.

The Third Hokage and Fourth Hokage were both burly men who honed their physical bodies. The Fourth Raikage, A, went even further, using lightning Chakra to stimulate his muscles to achieve perfect speed and power; in a fantasy or martial arts world, he would be a veritable demonic leader.

However, under the protection of Lightning Release Armor, the Fourth Raikage's defense and speed were terrifying; at full power, he could even break a Susanoo with a single kick.

"You dare show your face again! I'll kill you right now!" The Fourth Raikage roared, about to make his move.

"Heh, Masai, I'm not the same person I used to be." Naruto smirked and shouted at the Fourth Raikage, "Come on, let's settle this like men!"

"Come on!" The Fourth Raikage gritted his teeth upon hearing this.

"If the heavens had not given birth to the Uchiha, the Shinobi World would have been shrouded in eternal darkness! The ultimate Ninjutsu technique: Dad Release!"

Standing on the land of Kumogakure, Naruto, fighting on foreign soil, dared not underestimate the Fourth Raikage. So he directly Impure World Reincarnation his father, the Third Raikage A, known as the Black Lightning.

With a bang, a coffin bearing sealing runes rose from the ground. This time, it wasn't a sliding lid, but a flip-top coffin, opened before the Fourth Raikage could pounce.

The Third Raikage emerged with his eyes wide open in anger. His thick, golden hair, reaching down to his waist, made him look like a golden lion king incarnate. Upon emerging from the coffin, he saw his good-for-nothing son, the Fourth Raikage A.

When it comes to being inhuman, Naruto has always been capable. Last time he called on the opponent's father to fight, and this time he's doing it again. As long as he's within the Kumogakure, the Impure World Reincarnation, which requires no sacrifice, remains effective.

Unless the Fourth Raikage digs up his father's remains and buries them in another part of the Land of Lightning, Naruto will be unable to use the Edo Tensei Impure World Reincarnation the Third Raikage due to the limited area.

"You shameless bastard!" The Fourth Raikage was so angry he almost had a stroke. Two years later, this guy was using the same trick again.

The Third Raikage, Impure World Reincarnation, was not particularly strong, but his advantage lay in the fact that every attack he launched carried mental damage.
