Naturally Evil Uchiha Brat

The Second Shinobi World War was exceptionally brutal.

Konoha had faced Kumogakure, Kirigakure, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure—the four great ninja villages—on its own.

After four years of war, ninja casualties had been devastating.

Because its losses had been too great to support its ally, the Village Hidden in the Whirlpools had been destroyed.

After suffering severe losses, another ally, Amegakure, had also changed sides and joined Iwagakure and Sunagakure. Now, the three ninja villages had launched a joint offensive against Konoha.

There were three ninja villages on the Land of Rain battlefield, and Amegakure's leader was the God of Shinobi, who possessed Ibuse's deadly poison.

No one could neutralize his poison. Inhaling it meant death.

Everyone feared his name. They would rather fight Kumogakure on the northern front or Kirigakure on the eastern front than go to the Land of Rain.

It was rare enough for Genin to dare go there, but now they had been injured. Who could fill their places?

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep drag from his pipe, his expression turning solemn.

"They're very strong. Who injured them?"

"It was an Uchiha brat named Uchiha Kurohane."

Sarutobi Hiruzen blinked in confusion.

"Kurohane? I've never heard of him. Is he from the police force?"

"No, he's still a Ninja Academy student. He's nine this year."

Sarutobi Hiruzen rose to his feet in surprise.

"He defeated three fourteen-year-old Genin at nine years old?"

"And one of them is a genius. I've taught him Ninjutsu; he can be considered half my disciple. How did that child do it?"

Shimura Danzō sneered mockingly.

"Do you even need to ask? He must have awakened the Sharingan."

"He awakened the Sharingan at nine? After Kagami, the Uchiha Clan has produced another genius."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was wistful, his expression complicated.

The Uchiha Clan was a clan that produced geniuses in abundance.

But the more talented they were, the more extreme their personalities tended to be.

To put it bluntly, they were difficult to control. They might not even listen to the Hokage.

As Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not think an Uchiha Clan genius was a good thing. On the contrary, he thought it was trouble.

Compared to talented but disobedient geniuses, he preferred ordinary ninja who were obedient and loyal.

Shimura Danzō saw through Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts. The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a cold smile.

"That is a Naturally Evil Uchiha Brat. He was vicious when he attacked, using a Fuma Shuriken to pierce the kidneys of all three of them. He is so ruthless at such a young age. Hiruzen, you understand what should be done, don't you?"

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew what Danzo was implying, but he did not respond.

He only felt regretful. Internal injuries were difficult to recover from, especially kidney injuries. Those three ninja would need at least three months of rest.

They would be unable to return to the battlefield anytime soon.

After pondering for a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

"Why did they fight?"

"It was because of that Uzumaki Clan girl who just arrived in Konoha. Kurohane seemed dissatisfied with our policy of abandoning the Village Hidden in the Whirlpools. He even claimed that your decision to let the Village Hidden in the Whirlpools fall was wrong."

"Hiruzen, he denied your decision. That Naturally Evil Uchiha Brat absolutely cannot be allowed to remain!"

Danzo had only heard Pineapple Head's report, and because he harbored hatred toward the Uchiha Clan, his account differed greatly from the facts.

On the other hand, he knew Hiruzen had always felt guilty and regretful over failing to save the Village Hidden in the Whirlpools.

That was Hiruzen's sore spot.

Shimura Danzō made a great issue of this, hoping to stir up Sarutobi Hiruzen's dark side.

"Hiruzen, if his ideas spread, they will be extremely detrimental to you. They might even split Konoha apart. That evil Uchiha brat cannot be allowed to remain. I can help you get rid of him."

Sarutobi Hiruzen glared at him and spoke sternly.

"Danzo, this is wartime. How can you entertain thoughts that harm unity? If Konoha wants to win this war, we must rely on the Uchiha Clan's strength!"

"We cannot fight among ourselves!!"

Shimura Danzō gave a cold laugh.

"Hiruzen, do you think I would personally kill him? Do you think I'm an idiot?"

"I mean we use him as a replacement for those people and send him to the Land of Rain battlefield. If he dies on the battlefield, the Uchiha Clan will have one less genius, and we will have one less future threat."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

"He's only nine years old. Is sending a nine-year-old child to the battlefield something a human being would do? If word of this got out, do you think I would still have the face to be Hokage?"

Shimura Danzō believed caring about appearances was exceptionally foolish.

Those who wished to accomplish great things should use any means necessary.

Being willing to cast aside one's dignity was what made him superior to Hiruzen.

The Second Hokage had failed to see that. It was because he lacked discernment, and because he was too naive.

Whenever Shimura Danzō thought of this, an uncontrollable fury surged in his heart.

"Hiruzen, you're too naive. You will regret this!"

As if he had been prepared for it, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately responded.

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

After saying that, Shimura Danzō turned and left, slamming the door shut with force.

As though he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart on the wooden door.

Bang!

After the loud crash, the office returned to silence.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

"Although he is too young and cannot be sent there, the positions of those three must be filled."

After Sarutobi Hiruzen made a gesture, an Anbu appeared before him in a Body Flicker.

"Tell Kagami to come immediately. There are some matters I need to discuss with him..."

That night.

Uchiha Kurohane ate dinner alone in his cramped home.

He had made the udon himself, along with fried pork cutlet and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Although he had just picked up ninja tools worth the equivalent of four hundred thousand ryō and become rich overnight.

He would have to sell them at a ninja tool shop before he could exchange them for money. Uchiha Kurohane had not done so yet, so tonight's dinner was still simple.

On the other hand, if he sold some of the shuriken, he would no longer be able to use 800 Shuriken Barrage.

He thought that move was pretty cool, and was still considering whether to sell the shuriken.

Since he had taken Kushina in as his underling, and Kushina had the Uzumaki Clan behind her.

She should be a little rich girl. If he needed money in the future, perhaps he could just ask her for it.

As Uchiha Kurohane was thinking, a ding suddenly sounded beside his ear.

[Ding~ The host has been called a Naturally Evil Uchiha Brat by Shimura Danzō, achieving the accomplishment "Naturally Evil Uchiha Brat" and obtaining the title Entry "Born Evil Uchiha Brat S".]

(Born Evil Uchiha Brat S: The host gains the Naturally Evil Uchiha Brat title. All Sharingan abilities increase by 50%.)

All Sharingan abilities increased by 50%?

That was pretty damn awesome.

The Sharingan was already powerful. Increasing its abilities by 50% was equivalent to raising them by half, making it even stronger!

Furthermore, Uchiha Kurohane had previously obtained Sasuke's bloodline and gained his Straight Tomoe Sharingan.

His Sharingan abilities had reached Uchiha Sasuke's level. With another 50% increase now, he had completely surpassed Sasuke!

But what right did Danzo have to give him that kind of certification?

Had he ever been Hokage? He was just making things up and talking nonsense!
