Naruto Uzumaki Is a Rogue Ninja

"Shisui Uchiha, you need to face reality to see the path forward. Don't be so naive about things."

"How can over 200 members of the Uchiha clan leave Konoha safely with just your strength? What can I do? I've done everything I can..." Shisui Uchiha thought that by using Kotoamatsukami to alter Fugaku Uchiha's will and then rallying the Uchiha clan to collectively leave the Konoha village, he could avoid conflict with Konoha. Now it seemed he had oversimplified things.

"It's not that there's no turning back. The Uchiha still have... a sliver of hope." C.C. got up from her chair, stretched lazily, and walked over to Shisui Uchiha.

"Susanoo... If you could unleash the full Susanoo, it would be enough to take everyone away from Konoha. But, with your current Mangekyo Sharingan, using Susanoo will blind you. Not to mention activating the full Susanoo."

In the original story, only an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan could be used without reservation to activate the full Susanoo. She never understood how Obito managed to transfer the Mangekyo Sharingan's power to Kakashi during their final battle. That was incredibly bizarre!

If that were possible, could Neji temporarily gift his Byakugan's power to Naruto or someone else?

"Susanoo?"

"It's an ultimate dojutsu used by Madara Uchiha, who, along with Hashirama Senju, the 'God of Shinobi,' founded the Konoha village. It can only be used when both eyes awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan. However, although this ninjutsu is immensely powerful, it's difficult to sustain Susanoo without a vast amount of chakra. It requires both dojutsu power and chakra; one cannot be lacking. Even if you have enough chakra to use Susanoo, you will still go blind as the dojutsu power is consumed, and overuse can even lead to death."

Seeing Shisui Uchiha's tempted expression, C.C. patted his shoulder.

"So? Knowing the side effects of Susanoo, do you still want to use it?"

"How can I activate Susanoo?"

"I'm not entirely sure. I only know that when the dojutsu power of both Mangekyo Sharingan eyes is pushed to its limit, the ultimate dojutsu, Susanoo, will be activated."

C.C. told Shisui Uchiha everything she knew. Watching him fall into thought, she continued, "Now, the Uchiha clan faces only two paths: either leave Konoha directly and be branded as rogue ninja, or announce their secession from Konoha in advance, giving them a legitimate reason to leave. Both scenarios will result in an attack by Konoha ninja on their way out."

"The first is a direct attack, the second is a covert one. The choice depends on your Uchiha clan's decision."

Fearing that Shisui Uchiha might suddenly act impulsively, C.C. decided to voice her thoughts. After all, most people in the Naruto world were a bit dimwitted, she had realized.

If Shisui Uchiha were to use Susanoo, blindness would be inevitable. Itachi Uchiha's father in the TV version had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, but she wasn't sure if this world was based on the manga, the TV series, or a hybrid.

C.C. dissolved into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.

"Did it dispel the Shadow Clone...?"

Shisui Uchiha looked at the spot where C.C. had been. A few seconds later, he walked out of the Konoha Police Force office.

On the surface, Naruto was sleeping in bed, but in reality, she was lying on top of the Nine-Tails in her inner world. She received memories from her Shadow Clone and a calculating smile spread across her young face, casting a shadow over her innocent features.

"This clone of mine really talks too much, telling Shisui Uchiha about Susanoo."

However... this also gave her a brilliant plan. Whether to implement it would depend on whether Fugaku Uchiha had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.

If Shisui Uchiha could obtain the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and become the clan head of the Uchiha, it would certainly be interesting, wouldn't it?

Being able to use Kotoamatsukami infinitely, she could have Shisui Uchiha use Kotoamatsukami on the Nine-Tails to make the Nine-Tails immune to Sharingan control. Wouldn't that be nice~!

However, what if Shisui Uchiha decided to play dirty and discard her after using her?

Thinking of this, Naruto dismissed the unrealistic idea.

Chapter 15: Danzo's Divine Assist (1/2)

♂ Early in the morning, at the Ninja Academy, Sasuke Uchiha was late. ÷÷

Arriving late, Sasuke Uchiha sat at his seat with a heavy expression, lacking his usual energetic demeanor. He uncharacteristically didn't act out in front of Naruto.

It seemed the Uchiha clan was already making preparations. Seeing Sasuke's worried look, it was likely that the Uchiha clan would announce their secession from Konoha within the next couple of days.

After school, Sasuke Uchiha was unusually quiet all day. He spoke very little to anyone, mostly sitting and spacing out, lost in thought.

"Sasuke..."

Sakura Haruno looked at Sasuke Uchiha with concern, her outstretched hand stopping mid-air. She called out his name but received no response, leaving a dejected Sakura Haruno to walk away.

Naruto, transformed into a small hamster, observed Sasuke Uchiha from a corner. When Sasuke Uchiha walked away, the hamster wiggled its little backside and followed him. Passing by the restroom, it ran inside.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu."

Naruto sent her Shadow Clone home while she followed Sasuke Uchiha. A large part of why Itachi Uchiha listened to Danzo was because of Sasuke Uchiha.

If Danzo threatened Itachi Uchiha using Sasuke, then it would make sense why Itachi Uchiha suddenly went mad and, along with the Masked Man, Obito, massacred the entire Uchiha clan.

Naruto followed Sasuke Uchiha all the way to the lakeside. The quiet lakeside was deserted, with only Sasuke Uchiha staring blankly at the calm water. Suddenly, a pebble dropped into the lake, breaking its tranquility.

Sasuke Uchiha gritted his teeth, throwing pebbles with all his might, as if trying to cast his troubles into the lake and sink them to the bottom.

Suddenly, two ninjas in black appeared on either side of Sasuke Uchiha. Sasuke Uchiha slumped softly to the ground.

"Sasuke Uchiha, he's the target. Take him away!"

Just as the two were about to abduct Sasuke Uchiha, an inconspicuous small hamster collided with them. With a "bang," smoke dissipated, revealing a girl with pink wavy hair, a petite figure, a beautiful face, and cold killing intent flashing in her beautiful brown eyes. She lightly tapped the two men, who, upon reacting, were about to counterattack, but their bodies rapidly swelled like balloons. They fell to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices, lifeless.

Naruto, in her transformed state, carried Sasuke Uchiha towards the Uchiha clan's residential area. Seeing the tightly shut gates, she gathered chakra in her feet.

"Bang!"

The gate was violently kicked open. Naruto, deliberately creating such a commotion, wanted to attract the Uchiha's attention.

Soon, someone arrived, and it was someone Naruto unexpectedly encountered.

"What did you do to Sasuke?"

Itachi Uchiha, his eyes now a three-tomoe Sharingan, stared grimly at the pink-haired girl carrying Naruto. He didn't see a Konoha forehead protector on her.

"You should be asking the two people who were trying to capture him before, what they intended to do to him!" Naruto rolled her eyes at Itachi Uchiha impatiently. She raised her hand and tossed Sasuke Uchiha towards him.

Itachi Uchiha hugged Sasuke, and upon seeing that Sasuke had merely fainted, he relaxed. He let out a breath and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Thank you for saving Sasuke."

"It's nothing, I just happened to be passing by," Naruto said, waving her hand and turning to leave.

"Please wait a moment. Can you tell me what the two people who were trying to capture Sasuke looked like?" Itachi Uchiha asked urgently as Naruto prepared to depart.

"Those two were wearing black clothes. I've already killed them. I'm not sure if their bodies are still by the lake, though."

Black clothes... by the lake... Could it be him!

Itachi Uchiha frowned slightly. He had already guessed who had attacked Sasuke, but he couldn't understand why they would target Sasuke. What could they gain by capturing him?

To threaten the Uchiha Clan?

No... was it to threaten me
