"It seems I'll have to keep a low profile for a while..."
After washing up, Yun Xi headed straight for the academy.
He soon discovered that the tails following him hadn't vanished.
They were hiding in the vicinity of the Ninja Academy, and among those monitoring him, there was even an elite jonin.
This was what surprised and shocked Yun Xi the most.
The current timeline was approaching the start of the original story, and Kakashi was still in the Anbu.
Aside from Kurenai, Sarutobi Asuma, Guy, and other jonin, there were very few jonin with spare time.
Most jonin were out on missions at this time; after all, the mission rewards for a jonin were extremely high...
Yet...
The Root Division had actually arranged for an elite jonin and a jonin to monitor him.
Glancing at the two Anbu chunin on the other side, Yun Xi felt speechless.
If he truly had to rely on the Third Hokage for protection, Yun Xi figured he wouldn't even know how he died...
"Danzo really is a big spender..."
After confirming the identities of those watching him, Yun Xi decided to ignore them.
He walked straight into his classroom, found his seat, and began to catch up on sleep.
Although Yun Xi had caught Danzo's attention, he wasn't panicked.
At the very least, there would be no danger within the Ninja Academy.
"Hmm?"
Just as Yun Xi had settled into a comfortable position and was about to drift off, a cold snort suddenly echoed through the classroom.
Yun Xi looked up and saw that the person who had arrived was none other than Uchiha Sasuke.
At the same time, Uchiha Sasuke's eyes were locked onto Yun Xi.
Although in Uchiha Sasuke's eyes, Yun Xi was nothing more than an ordinary civilian student.
Yet, when facing him, Sasuke found that a trace of fear had appeared in his heart!
Lying in the corner of the classroom, Yun Xi looked completely harmless, but in Sasuke's mind, he was no less than a fierce tiger!
It's this guy, Sasuke. Seeing that the newcomer was Sasuke, Yun Xi was also a bit surprised.
Because it was only around 6:00 AM, and the Ninja Academy's normal class time was at 8:00 AM.
Yun Xi hadn't expected Sasuke to arrive at school so early on the first day.
"Good morning, your name is Uchiha Sasuke, right?"
Yun Xi thought for a moment and decided to take the initiative to greet him.
"Hmph!"
But Sasuke ignored Yun Xi's goodwill, let out a cold snort, and sat down in his own seat.
He rested his chin on his hands, maintaining the appearance of a cold, aloof youth.
This guy... he really is arrogant.
Seeing that Sasuke ignored him, Yun Xi didn't mind at all.
After silently grumbling to himself, he prepared to continue his mission of sleeping.
But to Yun Xi's surprise, the system issued a mission at this very moment!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering a hidden mission—Tragedy of the Uchiha. Do you accept?"
Hearing the system's prompt, Yun Xi's sleepiness vanished instantly.
This guy can actually trigger a system mission for me?
Yun Xi hadn't expected that even when he wanted to slack off for once, a brand-new mission would appear...
"Accept."
Yun Xi didn't hesitate and took the mission immediately.
After all, even without the mission, Yun Xi wouldn't miss the Uchiha clan's extermination event.
The foundation of an old-established clan would surely bring substantial rewards!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for accepting the mission: Tragedy of the Uchiha."
Mission Requirements: "Obtain the Three-Tomoe Sharingan as much as possible."
Mission Rewards: "Reward: Unlock the ability to activate Susanoo with a single eye, and each Three-Tomoe Sharingan collected will increase the power of Amaterasu by one percent."
As Yun Xi accepted the mission, the detailed information appeared in his mind.
But after learning the mission details, Yun Xi's expression became somewhat strange.
Because the requirements for this mission were truly bizarre.
Before accepting the mission, Yun Xi had been torn between choosing to help the Uchiha clan or destroying them, weighing these two branching paths.
However, after seeing the detailed requirements of this mission, Yun Xi felt a headache coming on...
Doesn't accepting this mission mean I have to fight Danzo for the Three-Tomoe Sharingan?
Having read the original Naruto series, Yun Xi naturally understood that the Uchiha clan massacre was not solely caused by Uchiha Itachi.
It involved a delicate balance of power between many factions, including Danzo, the Third Hokage, the Uchiha clan, and Orochimaru.
There was even the shadow of Obito lurking within it all...
After the Uchiha clan was wiped out, almost everyone involved gained something.
Danzo obtained a large number of Sharingan...
The Third Hokage's position became even more secure after the Uchiha were gone.
Uchiha Itachi ensured that Uchiha Sasuke survived.
If one had to name the loser in this affair, it would likely only be the Uchiha clan itself...
But once Yun Xi intervened, Danzo would likely end up with nothing.
Does this system know that I have a grudge against Danzo?
After finalizing his plan, Yun Xi began to leisurely complain about the system.
As for whether this mission could be completed, Yun Xi wasn't worried in the slightest.
At this moment, Konoha was not like it was at the start of the plot, where all the Sannin were outside the village.
The main combatants were generally just Jonin, who posed no threat to Yun Xi.
It could be said that only Guy after opening the Eight Gates and the Third Hokage could reliably defeat him.
But Guy belonged to the Hokage's direct faction and would not take action during the Uchiha massacre.
This meant that Yun Xi only needed to deal with Itachi, Danzo, and the Root Division under his command...
"Decided. I'll focus on collecting Sharingan, then see how things go!"
After some consideration, Yun Xi felt no anxiety.
As long as he was careful during the Uchiha massacre, he could avoid a great deal of risk.
Furthermore, Danzo had not yet acquired a large number of Sharingan during this period and could not cast Izanagi.
His strength was simply not worth mentioning; Yun Xi only needed to watch out for Danzo's sole trump card—Izanagi.
And while Itachi's strength was on par with his own, he just needed to avoid him!
It seems I still need to add a few more trump cards to bolster my strength...
The Uchiha massacre would likely occur shortly after Uchiha Sasuke entered the academy.
All Yun Xi needed to do was make some preparations during this short window of time!
And while he was at it, add a few more cards to his sleeve!
It seems the plan to leave Konoha needs to be moved up as well...
After weighing his options, Yun Xi decided to advance his previous plans!
Initially, Yun Xi had only intended to earn some money during the Uchiha massacre.
Afterward, he would use a shadow clone to stay in Konoha.
His real body would go out to take on bounty missions to earn a large amount of "pay-to-win" points.
But after accepting the mission from the system, Yun Xi had to change his previous operational plan.
He shifted from low-profile development to direct confrontation with Danzo, Itachi, and the others.
Although he was highly likely to be able to protect himself, for the sake of absolute safety, he had to use his points to keep growing stronger!
In truth, the main reason for such a drastic change in Yun Xi's attitude was that the rewards for this mission were simply too rich!
They were so rich that it was impossible for Yun Xi not to take this mission seriously!
"Bang!"
"Hey, why do you keep staring at me?"
Just as Yun Xi was deep in thought, Uchiha Sasuke walked directly up to him.
He slammed his left fist onto Yun Xi's desk.
An angry voice followed immediately after!
Yun Xi: What the hell? What's going on???
