Betrayal Has a Terrible Start.

After the end of the third Ninja World War, the Uchiha clan and Konoha high-ranking officials resumed friendship, and the relationship warmed up. With the support of the Naruto faction, they showed goodwill to the Uchiha clan, and there were no messy problems.

By the time Itachi joined Anbe, there were no major conflicts, and Konoha's high-level trust in the Uchiha clan is now relatively high, and there is not much dissatisfaction.

Therefore, what Itachi knows about the family's past is very one-sided.

"That happened a long time ago. It happened during the Second Hokage period. I heard many things from the mouths of the clan elders, and I also got some dark stories from the family's historical documents."

"The period of the Second Hokage? That should have happened more than 30 years ago, or even earlier." Itachi said.

When the Second Hokage, Senju Tobima, passed away, he was already around 50 years old. Although the Second Hokage ruled Konoha for only about ten years, it laid an extremely solid foundation for Konoha.

The establishment of the ninja school reuses the civilian system ninja.

Assemble the Anbu and set up a special tactical assassination unit.

He developed many basic ninjutsu, popularized ninja school students, and wrote books himself to lay the foundation for students.

Create an assessment system to more accurately divide ninja levels.

He also created many forbidden jutsu and water escape ninjutsu, providing Konoha with a large number of outstanding talents.The core of the Flying Raijin Jutsu, which the Fourth Hokage is famous for, was created by the Second Hokage.

At the same time, plan the family system, suppress the restless Uchiha clan to be honest, and then give them the post of the guard.Not only the Uchiha clan, but during the period when the Second Hokage was in power, the rest of the families were honest and did not dare to make any small moves. Coupled with the vigorous and resolute attitude of the Second Hokage, many ninjas at that time paid attention to practical things and sincerely Serving the second generation of Hokage.

Even the Uchiha clan, who has never liked the Second Hokage very much, has a large number of fans in the family, and Uchiha Mirror is one of them.

Thinking about it carefully, the various ninja systems in the five major ninja villages are all created based on the template of the second generation of Naruto, which has been influenced for decades and is still in use, and no one has ever raised the idea of ​​​​questioning.

And the various suggestions he put forward, as well as the facilities he established, have all become a solid foundation for Konoha's rapid development.

It is conceivable that in the first Ninja World War, although the Second Hokage was killed by the most elite Kinkaku and Yinkaku troops of Yunyin, the foundation he laid for Konoha made Konoha stand out in the second, Great achievements in the third Ninja World War.

Established the name of Konoha's No. [-] Ninja Village, and no one can shake it.

Of course, this is the great achievement of the second generation of Hokage, and no one can erase it.

Even the ninja school textbooks currently used by the five major ninja villages are basically written by the second generation of Naruto Senshou Tomona, and the names have not changed to show their respect and admiration.

As the saying goes, where there is light, there must be darkness. Before going on stage, the second generation of Hokage, Senshou Feijian, was the "brain" of the first generation of Hokage. It dealt with politics and other aspects. It was a representative of extremely powerful. feeling afraid.

If the first generation of Hokage is the one who likes to brag and talk about dreams, the second generation of Hokage is responsible for realizing all the dreams of the first generation of Hokage, and is the one who does practical things.

Such a generation of heroes is actually not very clean.

It's just that these unclean methods are basically immersed in the dust of the past and forgotten by people. In addition, not many people know that they are basically high-level people, and they will not shake out the black material of the second generation of Hokage at will. , to tarnish the reputation of the Second Hokage.

"You're right, Itachi, even after decades, there are still people who won't give up. The Second Hokage once feared the power of our Uchiha clan's Sharingan Sharingan. He created many forbidden and secret techniques in the Book of Seals. Among them, those forbidden and secret techniques are aimed at the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan."

"If that's the case, why does the village..."

"They are afraid of the power of the kaleidoscope Sharingan, and this is also the reason why the Second Hokage guarded against Uchiha at the beginning. The Kaleidoscope Sharingan is a legendary power, and the second Hokage cannot ignore this power. And for our Uchiha family Sharingan, to develop targeted forbidden and secret techniques, requires a prerequisite. That is to study the Sharingan of our Uchiha family and develop corresponding ninjutsu."

"Human experiment!?" Itachi's face changed slightly, and he guessed something.

The second generation of Hokage took the bodies of Uchiha ninjas and performed the most taboo human experiments.

In order to ensure better research, those Uchiha ninjas used for research must be living people.

"That's right. It's a human experiment. Don't you think it's ridiculous that, as Hokage, he secretly assassinated his compatriots and carried out illegal human research." Uchiha Fugaku said with no change on his face, no anger could be seen, but hatred.

Itachi was speechless, it was indeed a bit shocking to hear such a thing for the first time.

It would not be so surprising if enemies were used to conduct human experiments, but it is a bit unreasonable to use one's own body to do illegal research.It is impossible for those Uchiha people who are used for research to be volunteers willingly.

Orochimaru was listed as dangerous and treacherous precisely because of the human experimentation on his compatriots.

"The news spread like wildfire. Among some Uchiha members of the martial arts faction, it was quietly passed on, and they were indignant at the actions of the second generation of Hokage. Shisui noticed this and reported it to Lord Hokage."

"Is it true?"

"After investigation, during the period of the Second Hokage, there were indeed more than a dozen Uchiha ninjas who mysteriously disappeared in the village. There was no news for many years, and it became an unsolved case at that time. Those Uchiha ninjas who disappeared left behind Some descendants, after hearing such news, what do you think they will do? There are also fighters in the clan who have long been dissatisfied with the current situation, thinking that this is a high-level conspiracy in an attempt to suppress our clan .”

Itachi didn't speak.

Even he was a little indignant. These actions of the Second Hokage were simply trampling on the dignity of the Uchiha clan.

"Two days ago, some rumors unfavorable to our family spread in the village."

"What rumor?"

"Say that our Uchiha clan owes them an apology. The third ninja war was provoked by our Uchiha clan's assassination of the third Kazekage. Many families in Konoha lost their relatives for this. Let us Uchiha clan apologize. This The rumors were suppressed by Hokage-sama that day, but I think someone in the village couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to attack our Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Fugaku said meaningfully.

"Someone in the village? Could it be the advisory group..."

"No. That person lost his real power after the death of the Third Hokage Hirzen-sama, and has been forgotten by many people now, but his power probably hasn't ended because of this. Have you heard of the organization 'Root', Itachi? "

"root?"

Itachi was stunned, and decided that he had never heard of this term.

"That's right, you were still young at that time, and it was a game between the upper classes. Now, the 'roots' no longer exist, but their leader still exists. It is true that the power has been greatly reduced, but it cannot be completely small. Look at that old fox." When Uchiha Fugaku mentioned 'root', he was apprehensive and vigilant.

Those who have not dealt with 'root' will not understand how dark the organization that lurks in the deepest part of Konoha is.

"That root is..."

"After the death of the Second Hokage, the Second Ninja World War started within a few years, and 'root' emerged at that time. It was a secret organization that existed in Anbu, and then gradually broke away from the jurisdiction of Anbu and established A dark organization dedicated to serving individuals. This is the 'root'. The things dealt with by the dark department are usually extremely dangerous, and there are some things that cannot be seen. The things handled by the root are darker than the dark department, or in other words, It is a specialized organization to deal with the "darkness" of the village. It does things by any means, with the concept of complete mission first, and obeys the orders of the high-ranking Shimura Danzo. In the second and third Ninja World Wars, the power of root should not be underestimated. But because of their extreme thinking, very few people interact with them. The ninjas in the root are all Konoha radicals, and they are the best tools for war and killing."
