Chapter 98: Back to Konoha


    Izuna appears on top of the Hokage Monument.


    He looks around and inspects the vige.


    "The air is a bit chilly here. I can see the tension in the vige. I guess Uchihas'' dissatisfaction is apparent to the vigers. I will pay a visit to Mom and Dad and then I will talk with Tsunade.


    I will look upon Itachi and Shisui too, they would have progressed a lot this year."


    Izuna disappears from the Hokage''s monument and re-appear outside the Uchiha n.


    -------------


    Inside the Hokage''s Office,


    Hiruzen stares at Hokage Monuments and murmurs,


    "Tobirama-sensei, it has been a while since Danzo disappeared from the vige. My suspicion is, he died in a battle; but I am not aware of the culprit.


    There are no clues or traces of Danzo anywhere. Even the Root Shinobis have no information on this matter. All of them were trapped in a powerful genjutsu. I suspect the culprit is the same person who attacked the vige during the Nine-tails incident.


    But Danzo had done plenty of dirty deeds and schemes, and I unknowingly supported him. I am not apetent leader. If only I could notice it earlier."


    Hiruzen sighs and looks at the report.


    "Recently, there have been increased reports andints from civilians regarding the mistreatment by Uchiha Police Force. The Uchiha Police Officers continue to harass civilians and shopkeepers.


    They even had some skirmishes with Anbu and caused some mutual damage."


    Hiruzen sighs and ces down the scroll.


    -----------------


    In an underground hideout,


    Achoo


    Obito sneezes and looks around.


    ''It''s a bit chilly here.''


    He stands up and walks towards ck Zetsu.


    "It''s time to start the next phase of our n. We failed to capture the Nine-tails in the previous attempt. Our strength is not enough to collect all the Nine-tailed beasts together.


    Konoha has various powerful shinobi. Obito looks at the pinned pictures of Hiruzen, Sakumo, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Fugaku, Minato, Kushina, Hiashi, and Izuna.


    There is a cross on Minato, Kushina, and Orochimaru''s pictures.


    "We can deal with the rest of them. Nagato''s Six Paths of Pain are sufficient for them, but our major concern lies with Izuna Uchiha."


    Obito stabs a Kunai in Izuna''s picture.


    "He is way too strong for us to handle. Even Nagato with his Rinnegan was struggling against this monster. He is a Genjutsu, Kenjutsu, Ninjutsu, Shurikenjutsu, and even Fuinjutsu Master. He doesn''t have any weakness. Maybe except for his family members."


    Obito contemtes on the matter. He turns towards ck Zetsu and speaks,


    "It is time for you to officially join the Akatsuki. We need to recruit more members for our n to seed. I will discuss our ns with Pain.


    I will infiltrate Hidden Mist Vige and will seek a way to gain control of the Fourth Mizukage. Their Mizukage is quite young, and he is a jinchuruki as well.


    We need resources to support Akatsuki and initiate the next step of our n. I will control Hidden Mist and gain funds for our operations."


    Obito swirls out of the hideout. ck Zetsu looks at the disappearing figure of Obito and thinks,


    ''Mother! I am one more step closer to your revival. All Chakra shall be reunited again and form the Chakra tree. That foolish Hagoromo distributed the Chakra to mankind and wasted it.


    But I will soon reunite it. Mother shall see this world once again. All Chakra shall return to its Original Owner.''


    ck Zetsu enters the ground and moves out from the hideout.


    --------------


    Izuna enters inside the Uchihapound and strolls in the market. He observes the passer-by and notices ack of Non-Uchiha citizens.


    ''The Uchihas are isting themselves. Even the Uchiha Police Force appears to be cold and distant. I suppose Fugaku is pressured by those Old geezers of the n. After Grand-uncle passed away, there is no one to keep them under tabs.


    It was their ambition paired with Danzo''s maniption, which leads to the downfall of the Uchiha n. I have dealt with Danzo, but these old senile geezers are still persistent.


    I don''t want to step in early to involve in the conflict as it is too much of a pain in the ass and the ambitions of these old geezers will only increase.


    But I won''t allow the mindless ughter of the n. If Obito touches my family, I will end him. I don''t care about the future. I am a selfish person and I don''t have any thoughts regarding other Uchiha n members, but my parents are my bottom line.''


    He enters his house, and his mother greets him.


    "Izuna dear! It has been a while since youst showed up. Mother missed you a lot. You will be a big brother soon. Are you happy about it?"


    Izuna tilts his head and questioningly looked at Aiko,


    "Mother! But your womb?" He points towards Aiko''s stomach.


    "Oh! That! We followed Tsunade-san''s procedure, and your Aunt Fumiko agreed to be the adoptive mother of our child. She is two months pregnant now and soon you and Shisui will be a big brother."


    "Wow! That''s great. I can''t wait for my sibling to be born. I want a cute little sister." Izuna smiles in happiness.


    ''So, Tsunade seeded in the procedure. That''s a genius for you. I have to thank her for her hard work. I will gift the expensive honey wine from the Land of Honey to her. I got it during one of my Anbu missions and I preserved it in one of my scrolls.''


    "Where is father?" Izuna looks around and notices the absence of Akira.


    "There is an important n meeting held in the Naka Shrine. Your father is attending the meeting. I am not sure of the issue, but it is regarding the attitude of higher-ups of the vige against the Uchiha n.


    This politics and all, I don''t want to be a part of it. I will cook your favorite dish tonight." Aiko enters the kitchen.


    "Guess I will check up on Shisui, Itachi, Sasuke, and Naruto. I haven''t seen their progress in a while."


    Izuna closes his eyes and enters Semi-Sage Mode. He senses the Chakra of Shisui and the rest of them.


    "There you are, Uchiha training ground 5. Big Brother will like to see your progress."


    Izuna walks out of his house and flickers towards the training ground. He reaches inside the training ground within seconds.


    Izuna hides his presence and eavesdrops on them. Shisui is training Naruto whereas Itachi is training Sasuke.


    "Naruto-kun! You haverge amounts of Chakra. I haven''t seen such amounts of chakra in any shinobi except for Big-brother Izuna. His chakra reserves are vast, but for some unknown reasons, big-brother was always low on chakra. Maybe he was working on another of his new techniques, which consumed an enormous amount of Chakra.


    Anyway, my point is you have terrible Chakra control because of yourrge reserves. I have taught you Shurikenjutsu, some simple wind jutsus, and basic taijutsu in this past year.


    Now, it is time to train your chakra control. If you have a good chakra control, you will be able to use several jutsu using the same amount of Chakra."


    Naruto tilts his head in confusion and questions Shisui,


    "Big-Brother Shisui, That''s quiteplicated. I don''t quite get it. I hateplicated stuff. Can you exin it in simple terms? Dattebyo!.."


    Shisui thinks for a while before he replies,


    "Naruto, consider your body as a bowl of ramen. Your Chakra is the broth of Ramen. Now your body has lots of broth I mean chakra in it, which means your bowl is bigger than the rest of people."


    "But isn''t it a good thing? I have arger bowl, then I will get to eat more Ramen. Dattebyo!" Naruto licks his tongue.


    "It is a good thing, but there is a catch to it. Naruto imagines if your ramen has lots of broth, but there are fewer noodles in your bowl. Will you like your ramen?" Shisui questions Naruto.


    "No I want more noodles in my ramen. Dattebyo!" Narutoins.


    "Exactly, that extra broth in your body I mean chakra is wasted. To fully enjoy the extra broth, you need extra noodles and toppings.


    Such is the case with you, to make use of that extra chakra and to not waste it, you need more noodles I mean more chakra control. Then, only will you be able to enjoy your ramen I mean you will efficiently use your chakra." Shisui holds his breath and stares at Naruto.


    "Do you understand, Naruto?"


    "Yes, I understand a little. Next time, I will ask Old Man Teuchi to add more noodles in my ramen." Naruto nods to Shisui.


    "Damn!" Shisui clutches his head.


    Haha


    Izuna chuckles and shakes his head,


    "This Naruto! He only cares about ramen. I have to step in. Shisui must be going insane in this past year. Standard training can''t teach Naruto, he requires specialized training. Let me take a look at Sasuke''s progress.


    He is smarter among the duo. I don''t think he would face any difficulty with the training."


    Izuna turns towards Sasuke and Itachi.
