A Conversation Between Past and Future
Konoha Hokage Building.
"Hokage, this matter must be thoroughly investigated! I believe it's definitely the villagers who are behind this!"
Danzo, with half his face wrapped in bandages, slammed his Danzo righteous indignation.
"Danzo, why don't you take this seat?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, took a drag of his cigarette, and looked at Danzo with displeasure.
"You!"
Danzo glared at him angrily.
"Multiple spatial rifts have appeared in the village. Tell me, who in the village has the ability to do this?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen his cigarette, then exhaled a thick cloud of smoke that filled half the room.
"What the eyes see is not necessarily the truth; this is something our teacher taught us."
Danzo spoke in a somber tone.
Sarutobi Hiruzen paused in his smoking motion. "You mean?"
"This might not be a real spatial rift, but rather..."
"Genjutsu!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled and shook his head.
"You mean, the entire village was under a massive Genjutsu? They thought they saw a spatial rift?"
"That's right!"
Danzo exclaimed excitedly, "There must be some ulterior motive behind setting up such Genjutsu!"
"Only the Uchiha Clan could set up such a large-scale Genjutsu with such an evil purpose!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced furtively at Fugaku Uchiha beside him; Uchiha Fugaku's face was practically as black as an eggplant.
"Danzo! Are you saying that we, the Uchiha Clan, are crying wolf?"
Uchiha Fugaku wished he could kill this old man right now!
When the Second Hokage was in power, this guy was always jumping around, wishing he could wipe out the entire Uchiha Clan.
Now that the second generation has passed away, the Third Hokage has taken over.
This guy has gone even further!
He would always claim that the Uchiha Clan was responsible for anything that was even remotely related to evil!
It's really...
Damn it!
"Hmph, who knows what you're thinking?"
Danzo snorted coldly, "Besides your Uchiha Clan, who else in the village has the ability to perform such a large-scale Genjutsu?"
"Only your evil eyes can accomplish this!"
"You!"
Uchiha Fugaku was so angry he was practically fuming.
"Alright, alright."
Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the table. "I believe this matter is not Uchiha Clan. I will continue to monitor it. You may all return."
Danzo was somewhat unwilling, glared fiercely at Uchiha Fugaku, and turned to leave.
Uchiha Fugaku also looked unhappy and only left after he had left.
Sarutobi Hiruzen on his pipe, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Space rift...
What kind of terrifying Ninjutsu could tear space itself apart?
In the Shinobi World...
Aside from the Tailed Beast, there don't seem to be any beings this powerful, right?
Just then, the door was pushed open again.
"Danzo, I've told you about this..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought Danzo was unwilling to accept the situation, so he returned to persuade him.
To everyone's surprise, when I looked up, I saw an incredibly familiar face.
"Hehehe, what? Are you surprised to see me?"
The future Sarutobi Hiruzen walked into the office with a sinister smile.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face immediately darkened, but he did not rush to make a move.
Chakra I sensed last time, he was no match for me.
Since that was the case, Sarutobi Hiruzen simply sat back down and calmly lit a cigarette.
"You can tell me your purpose now."
The future Sarutobi Hiruzen in satisfaction. "As expected of my former self, quite composed."
The future Sarutobi Hiruzen in his hand and swallowed hard.
I haven't smoked this stuff in ages, I really miss it.
"How have you considered what I told you before?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen paused in his smoking motion.
"Uchiha Kei is just a kid from the Uchiha Clan. Don't call him a good-for-nothing from the Uchiha Clan. Even if he has amazing talent, so what? Can he threaten the Hokage?"
"Amazing talent?"
The future Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled.
"Opened Mangekyo at eight years old!"
"At the age of twelve, he was known as the 'God of Wealth of Konoha,' a title that resounded throughout the Shinobi World!"
"He defected from Konoha at the age of thirteen and founded the Twilight Ninja Village. In five years, the Twilight Ninja Village became the strongest village in the human world!"
The future Sarutobi Hiruzen stares at his dumbfounded self.
"Do you still think it's just about amazing talent?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen listened in disbelief to the astonishing news he received.
This...
That can't be right, can it?
Was this something that kid named Uchiha Kei did?
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, the future fifth generation..."
A murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the future Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"It's Uchiha Itachi from the Uchiha Clan!"
Itachi!
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt his head buzzing.
Of course he knows who Uchiha Itachi is!
Not long ago, he made Uchiha Itachi a member of the Anbu.
He actually had a deeper plan regarding Uchiha Itachi, the genius of the Uchiha Clan.
"And I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, became a disgrace to Konoha after a series of conspiracies Uchiha Kei!"
The future Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him calmly.
"So, you still think we shouldn't eliminate Uchiha Kei?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze became vacant.
Everything he said...
Is it possible?
"I know you still have many concerns. But that's okay, I know you'll stand by me."
A confident smile appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face.
"Because..."
"I am you!"
Looking in the direction where Sarutobi Hiruzen into the future, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were filled with deep thought.
Uchiha Kei...
An Uchiha boy who was as ordinary as could be.
Could it possibly stir up such a huge storm in the future?
Perhaps...
We really can't let him stay!
Sarutobi Hiruzen on his cigarette, but the coldness in his eyes grew even stronger.
