A Wonderful New World

Uzumaki Menma was dumbfounded when he learned that he would be held responsible for any problems that arose with the Uchiha Clan.

What if the Uchiha Clan was dead set on a coup in the end?

His mind reeling, Uzumaki Menma didn't even know how he got back to his room.

Lying on the bed, Uzumaki Menma tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Suddenly, Uzumaki Menma sat up with a start and muttered to himself.

"Anyway, Lord Danzo will take responsibility if the sky falls. He's definitely bluffing me. Besides, I've helped Sasuke in a way, haven't I? It's made me feel guilty for so long, damn it... I must get my own back from Sasuke!"

The next day.

Uzumaki Menma looked down his nose at Sasuke with an arrogant air and said, "Sasuke! I'm hungry, go buy me something to eat!"

Sasuke looked at Uzumaki Menma strangely, "Why should I?"

"Why? I did you a huge favor!"

"Favor? What favor did you do?"

"You'll know later, I'm hungry now! Go buy me something to eat!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes at Uzumaki Menma, "You're sick."

Uzumaki Menma suddenly pounced on Sasuke, wrapping his arms tightly around Sasuke's neck, "It's all because of you that I've felt guilty for so many days, I couldn't eat well, I couldn't sleep well, you have to compensate me!"

Sasuke's face turned red from Uzumaki Menma's stranglehold, "You were the one who inexplicably said you did something to let me down, and now you say you helped me, you're definitely trying to trick me!"

"I don't care! You have to compensate me!"

"In your dreams!"

Naruto asked suspiciously, "Do you guys know what's going on?"

Shikamaru scratched the back of his head, looking as if he was used to it, "Who knows? Isn't Menma always like this? He has a small fit a few days a week, right Choji."

No matter what Shikamaru said, Choji would say, "You're right, Shikamaru."

Watching Sasuke and Uzumaki Menma locked in a stalemate, Neji felt a little bored, "You guys play first, I'll catch up with you later."

Ino asked, "Where are you going, Neji?"

"Just around here, I'm going to look around."

Neji left the main group on his own.

Hinata looked at Neji's departing figure with suspicion, "Lately, Neji-niisan seems to be acting alone with various excuses."

In a deserted alley corner.

"Byakugan!"

Veins popped around Neji's eyes.

After activating the Byakugan, Neji's eyes stared intently at the wall.

In Neji's vision.

The scenery of the women's bathroom, several houses away, was unobstructed.

Neji's face was flushed, and two puffs of white air came out of his nostrils.

Although he promised Ino and Hinata last time that he wouldn't look next time.

But the magnificent scene in his mind always lingered in Neji's mind.

Neji, itching with desire, still couldn't resist the temptation.

Anyway, he had the Byakugan, so there was no need to peep close to the women's bathroom, it was very safe to be far away.

Neji put his heart into this location, scouting everywhere, and found a good location where he could use the Byakugan to see the women's bathroom in all directions.

Moreover, this location was extremely hidden, even if Uzumaki Menma and the others found out, there would be time to close the Byakugan and then pretend that nothing happened.

Neji sighed with some regret.

What he saw was all black and white, it would be great if it was in color.

Just as Neji was watching with interest.

All of a sudden.

A withered old chrysanthemum entered Neji's field of vision.

Neji felt that his spirit was polluted.

"Ah! My eyes... it hurts!"

Neji, whose eyes were in great pain, hurriedly closed the Byakugan and rubbed his eyes desperately, trying to rub the scene out of his mind.

Then, the more he didn't want to, the clearer the scene appeared in Neji's mind.

Neji's good mood was shattered, he lost the mood to peep again, and planned to join Uzumaki Menma.

Just a few steps out, Neji's toe bumped into something.

He looked down and saw it was a book.

Picking it up, he saw the title: Make-Out Paradise.

Curious, Neji opened Make-Out Paradise.

And a wondrous new world unfolded before his eyes.

Neji simply sat down on the ground, engrossed in reading Make-Out Paradise.

Compared to the accidental peeks into bathhouses, the images in this book were all of beautiful women that were pleasing to the eye.

However, this copy of Make-Out Paradise was incomplete; Neji turned a few pages and it ended.

Neji closed the book and saw the author's name on the cover.

Jiraiya.

Neji clutched Make-Out Paradise tightly to his chest, muttering to himself, "Jiraiya... from now on, you are my idol! Thank you for allowing me to appreciate such wonderful sights."

Time 'whooshed' by, and three days later arrived.

Fugaku Uchiha, in the Uchiha Clan compound, looked extremely grim.

Because just now, Hiruzen Sarutobi had invited him to the Hokage Office for a small meeting with Danzo.

If it were just Hiruzen alone, Fugaku Uchiha might have been happy, because perhaps Hiruzen was planning to ease relations with the Uchiha Clan.

But including Danzo was a different story.

Everyone in Konoha knew that Danzo was the Uchiha Clan's number one detractor.

He wished he could completely erase the entire Uchiha Clan from the ninja world.

Fugaku Uchiha felt a vague sense of unease.

He had tried several times through Hiruzen to invite Danzo, hoping to alleviate Danzo's animosity towards the Uchiha Clan.

But every time, Danzo had refused his invitation, acting as if there was no room for discussion.

So why would he be holding a meeting with him alongside Hiruzen this time?

The more Fugaku Uchiha thought about it, the more solemn his expression became.

This meeting might be harboring hidden dangers.

A slight misstep could plunge the Uchiha Clan into eternal doom.

What's meant to come will come eventually; there's no avoiding it.

Fugaku Uchiha stood up, left the Uchiha Clan compound, and headed towards the Hokage Building.

Arriving in front of the Hokage Office in the Hokage Building.

Fugaku Uchiha's mood was extremely apprehensive as he gently knocked on the door.

"Enter," Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice came from inside the office.

Fugaku Uchiha took a deep breath, opened the door, and stepped into the office.

Immediately, Fugaku Uchiha saw Hiruzen Sarutobi with a smiling face, and Danzo, whose gloomy expression made it seem like everyone owed him money.

"Lord Hokage, Lord Danzo."

Danzo didn't speak, while Hiruzen warmly invited Fugaku Uchiha to sit down.

After Fugaku Uchiha took a seat, he sat on pins and needles, waiting for Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo to speak.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said kindly, "Fugaku, there's no need to be nervous; it's just a normal small meeting."

Just as Fugaku Uchiha was about to speak, Danzo cut straight to the point, saying coldly, "Hiruzen, you don't need to be so polite to those rebellious individuals who want to launch a coup against Konoha!"

Fugaku Uchiha's pupils constricted, his breath hitched, and he looked at Danzo in disbelief.

It's over! This is going to be bad!
