An Attempt

"I'm sorry, Sasuke... Forgive me..." Looking at Sasuke lying unconscious on the ground, his face still twisted with hatred, two tears streamed from Itachi Uchiha's eyes!

This was the compromise he had made to protect Sasuke!

The Uchiha Clan's rebellious intentions had grown increasingly obvious. The Elder Council, the Hokage, and Danzō's side were not blind!

On the contrary, they were very clever. The Uchiha Clan's little moves, which they had believed were so well concealed from the beginning, had all been clearly seen through. And they had plenty of ways to deal with the current Uchiha Clan!

Of Konoha's four great clans, the Senju and Hatake Clan had once possessed foundations no weaker than the Uchiha, yet under the maneuvering of the Third Hokage and Danzō, they had already become dust in history!

If he had not compromised, he would not even have been able to protect Sasuke's life!

A moment later, in a corner of the Hokage Office's balcony, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood smoking beneath a conical hat, his expression complicated as he looked at the ninja kneeling before him!

"Lord Hokage, the mission has been completed. According to our agreement... Sasuke will be in your care from now on. You must not let him step into the realm of darkness!"

Itachi Uchiha spoke respectfully to Hiruzen Sarutobi, his words brimming with indescribable pain!

"I understand. This mission... I'm sorry, Itachi. I had originally wanted to handle this matter in a gentler way, but unfortunately..." Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and spoke with some regret!

But it was only regret. As one in power, if a good tool could not be controlled, then it was better to destroy it!

"Lord Hokage has already made great concessions in this matter. I should be the one thanking you. According to the follow-up mission requirements, I will infiltrate the organization known as Akatsuki and provide the village with the relevant intelligence. Sasuke's future is entirely in your hands!" After saying that, Itachi Uchiha's figure swiftly vanished!

He wanted to see Sasuke one last time, but unfortunately... time no longer allowed it!

After Itachi Uchiha left, an elderly man with a cold expression emerged from another corner. One of his eyes was completely covered in bandages. Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand tightened slightly around his pipe, but only for a moment before quickly relaxing!

"Hiruzen, Sasuke should be handed over to me. If the Uchiha Clan's orphan cannot be controlled by us, what happens later may trigger even greater unrest!"

The person who had come was Danzō. After wiping out the Uchiha Clan, he had even set his sights on Uchiha Sasuke!

"He is only a six-year-old child. Besides, I promised Itachi Uchiha. I cannot agree to this!" Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone had never been so stern. Even Danzō found himself somewhat unable to breathe under his pressure at that moment!

"But..." Shimura Danzō still wanted to say something, but Hiruzen Sarutobi ruthlessly cut him off!

"Do not forget, I am the Hokage. If there is nothing else, leave. I still have other matters to attend to!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said forcefully, making Danzō's expression turn even colder!

"Hiruzen, what you have done today will make you regret it in the future!" After viciously throwing out those words, Danzō's body swiftly disappeared!

Hiruzen Sarutobi was left standing alone on the Rooftop, gazing into the distance, lost in thought!

The first thing Nanfeng did upon returning home was dispel the Shadow Clone Jutsu. The exhaustion and experience from a busy day swiftly flooded back into his body!

Though this was an age of peace, there were still many ninjas carrying out missions, and even more people getting injured. Even without any major incidents, Konoha Ninja Hospital still had many patients every day!

Opening the System Panel, Nanfeng examined the gains from his busy day!

Host: Akiya Nanfeng.

Age: 6.

Stamina: 110.

Strength: 110.

Defense: 110.

Resistance: 110.

Reaction: 110.

Speed: 110.

Spirit: 110.

Charm: 200.

Chakra: 520.

Skills: Healing Technique, Poisoning Technique, Holy Armor Technique, Kotoamatsukami (Unawakened)

Evaluation: Today, you are still working hard to become a big shot!

Nanfeng looked at his gains for the day with satisfaction. It was just a pity that he had never again received as many Attribute Points and skills as when he had treated Shisui Uchiha!

But how was Kotoamatsukami supposed to awaken? Could it be that he needed to come into contact with other members of the Uchiha Clan?

But today was the Night of the Clan Annihilation. After this, there would only be a handful of Uchiha Clan members he could come into contact with!

Itachi Uchiha would not be in the village, while Obito Uchiha, as the mastermind behind everything, was hardly someone Nanfeng could treat so easily...

He would probably have been captured by the Akatsuki Organization for research by then. But Uchiha Sasuke could serve as a very good breakthrough point!

Nanfeng remembered the plot clearly. After this incident, Sasuke recuperated in the hospital for about a week before recovering and returning to school, and his own identity...

Just happened to be that of an intern Medical Ninja!

Wasn't that perfect? Nanfeng had never liked his identity as much as he did now. Taking advantage of his position, he could even conduct a few experiments!

"Then it's happily decided. Tomorrow, I'll first use the Shadow Clone Jutsu to go to school and deal with things there. As for treating Sasuke, I'll need to go myself. After this, that guy's temperament will become even more violent. If I can properly guide his hatred, perhaps he might offer a little help in the future!"

After making up his mind, Nanfeng felt much more at ease. He lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep!

It was not his fault. After a whole day of double exhaustion, it was already quite good that he had managed to endure his mental fatigue and complete that analysis. Do not forget that he was only a six-year-old child now!

Early the next morning, Nanfeng quickly created a shadow clone and urged it to head out with Hinata for school. With the original body's instructions, the clone's attitude toward Hinata was much better.

"His mind has suffered trauma. The physical wounds have all been properly treated, but the mental damage may require him to recover slowly on his own..." At Konoha Ninja Hospital, Nanfeng spoke quickly after examining Sasuke's injuries!

At the same time, the green glow in his hand completely faded. Watching Nanfeng's movements, several experienced Medical Ninjas could not help but nod!

This brat had become increasingly skilled at treating others!

However, Nanfeng had no mind to pay attention to their evaluation right now. He was examining the rewards he had received for treating Uchiha Sasuke!

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for treating a patient. Reward obtained: Attribute Point +1!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Kekkei Genkai, Sharingan!"
