From now on, she’ll live with Itachi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Mikoto, in a businesslike manner, pulled the small girl forward, then softened her expression and said gently, “Izumi, this is your brother. Since Itachi’ve returned to the Uchiha clan, Itachi’ll live with him from now on. If he ever bullies Itachi, come find Auntie Mikoto.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Th-thank Itachi, Auntie Mikoto.” Though deeply uneasy, the little girl summoned her courage and bowed deeply to Uchiha Mikoto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu naturally recognized the identity of this small girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Izumi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A prodigy with considerable talent, following the path of a taijutsu ninja, who had already awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan by age thirteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, in the future massacre night, this girl—who had quietly developed feelings for Uchiha Sasuke—was brutally killed by Uchiha Obito.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What puzzled Luo Fu was why Uchiha Mikoto had sent this little girl to him. More crucially, his former self had no close relatives going back three generations—where had this sister suddenly come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if she truly were his sister, her generation should match his own; she’d only call Uchiha Fugaku “cousin.” Why did Uchiha Mikoto presume to call herself “auntie”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s a generational mismatch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Mikoto clearly had no intention of explaining anything to Luo Fu. After giving Uchiha Izumi a few final instructions, she left without delay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu understood: during the Nine-Tails’ rampage, he had stood idly by, and Uchiha Mikoto, grieving the loss of her best friend and her entire family, had taken her bitterness out on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in Luo Fu’s view, Uchiha Mikoto’s behavior was less about genuine emotion and more a deliberate test of his character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like her decision to send this little girl to him now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, his threats inside the Root base had already prompted both Konoha and the Uchiha to seek ways to bind him to the village and clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Nine-Tails’ rampage, Konoha, suffering heavy losses, could no longer afford the cost of alienating a lone wolf like Luo Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, sending this so-called sister helped Luo Fu forge bonds with the clan and village; on the other, Uchiha Mikoto deliberately acted this way to probe his temperament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must admit, ninja truly aren’t mindless brutes like Naruto Uzumaki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, every ninja Luo Fu had seen lacked any trace of foolishness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu had no interest in responding to Uchiha Mikoto’s tests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, before the massacre night, he was destined to leave Konoha under the right circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Luo Fu stayed, Konoha’s current strength might not dare carry out the Uchiha massacre while he remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind briefly flickered with thoughts on how to handle Uchiha Mikoto and the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his gaze quickly settled on the small girl before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a jōnin of Konoha and a member of the Uchiha clan, Luo Fu’s residence was a standalone courtyard within the clan grounds—resembling a detached house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if several more people came, there’d be no shortage of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Fu first needed to understand how Uchiha Izumi had come to be regarded as his sister and sent to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though young, Uchiha Izumi had clearly been instructed by the Uchiha clan beforehand about their supposed relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Uchiha Izumi spoke clearly and coherently, Luo Fu had to admit: according to Uchiha clan rules, she truly was his sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bloodline was within five degrees of kinship—Uchiha Izumi’s mother was a distant cousin of Luo Fu’s, Uchiha Yōgetsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cousin was an extremely rare case of an Uchiha who had married outside the clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could marry out because both she and her parents lacked ninja aptitude and could not awaken the Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Uchiha without ninja aptitude was nearly the most marginalized member of the clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the pancake shop owner Uchiha Teaki and his wife Uchiha Kome, aside from bearing the Uchiha surname, were indistinguishable from ordinary villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Yōgetsu had fallen to this state before choosing to marry outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Uchiha Yōgetsu hadn’t died during the Nine-Tails’ rampage—her husband had, and when Uchiha Izumi was confirmed to have ninja aptitude, the mother and daughter were readmitted into the clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But perhaps due to Luo Fu’s presence, on the night of the Nine-Tails’ rampage, Uchiha Yōgetsu—whom Luo Fu had no memory of—died alongside her husband that very night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orphaned, Uchiha Izumi had not encountered her destined fate: Uchiha Sasuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet because Uchiha Fugaku and his wife had wanted to forge a bond for Luo Fu, they had promptly found Uchiha Izumi and sent her to him under Uchiha Mikoto’s personal escort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding the full story, Luo Fu hesitated briefly, then decided to keep the anxious little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Uchiha Izumi seemed like a burden, Luo Fu didn’t want to remain under constant scrutiny from both village and clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Uchiha Izumi present, the village and clan would temporarily lower their guard against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would aid his plan to recruit a group of Uchiha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, Uchiha Izumi herself had considerable talent. Even under the circumstances of losing her mother and being readmitted into the clan, she had still awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan while pursuing taijutsu. If Luo Fu invested even a little effort in training her, she’d at least become a three-tomoe ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Uchiha who awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan was among the elite even among jōnin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, Uchiha Izumi had the potential to become a jōnin by age thirteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such talent was worth Luo Fu’s investment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Luo Fu brought Uchiha Izumi to his home,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several figures nearby—previously appearing indifferent—immediately hurried away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the clan leader’s residence,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So he accepted that little girl named Izumi?” Uchiha Fugaku’s furrowed brows finally eased slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Mikoto nodded. “Through my recent tests, Luo Fu doesn’t seem truly insane. He’s just… indifferent to the clan and indifferent to the village.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind involuntarily recalled how, during the Nine-Tails’ rampage, Luo Fu had watched the Fourth Hokage’s entire family die without lifting a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of concern immediately rose in Uchiha Mikoto’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know what Itachi’re worried about,” Uchiha Fugaku said, equally troubled. “I’m the Uchiha clan leader. I can accept that Luo Fu is a true Uchiha—but I cannot accept that he has zero bonds with the clan. This little girl isn’t our sacrifice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking his wife’s hand, Uchiha Fugaku said, “Trust me—if this girl named Izumi is ever in danger, I will spare no cost to rescue her from Luo Fu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, Uchiha Fugaku changed tone: “Mikoto, pay attention to Uchiha Izumi. If… if Luo Fu truly comes to see her as his sister, then Itachi must encourage Sasuke to spend more time with her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Mikoto’s expression instantly changed. In her view, her husband’s request was identical to the past scheme involving Kushina Uzumaki, Minato Namikaze, and Uchiha Luo Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Uchiha Luo Fu and Kushina Uzumaki had been separated by the village elders’ machinations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, her husband seemed to be walking the same path as her grandfather, the Uchiha elder, and Konoha’s high command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Uchiha clan leader’s wife, Uchiha Mikoto wasn’t some love-struck fool who believed in “love conquers all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But directly arranging and manipulating another’s emotions and life still filled her with deep resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fugaku, back then, Luo Fu and Kushina became what they are because of your grandfather and the village elders’ schemes,” Uchiha Mikoto said anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know,” Uchiha Fugaku reassured her. “I won’t act like the elder or the Third Hokage. I only hope—if Izumi truly becomes Luo Fu’s bond—then perhaps we can see if she and Sasuke have any connection. Don’t worry: aside from arranging more contact, I won’t do anything else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded slightly, yet for some reason, Uchiha Mikoto always felt as if Luo Fu’s eyes could pierce through everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even earlier, when Luo Fu had come to congratulate her on Sasuke’s birth, as a mother, she had clearly sensed that Luo Fu’s attitude toward Uchiha Sasuke was unusually distinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t affection, nor hatred—only after the Nine-Tails’ rampage did Uchiha Mikoto finally understand what that peculiar look meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attitude toward Uchiha Sasuke was exactly like the way he had watched her best friend Kushina’s family perish that night—yet even then, there seemed to be something else in his gaze, some hidden expectation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This feeling was purely Uchiha Mikoto’s intuitive sixth sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she voiced it, others would likely laugh and call her overthinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Sasuke was just a five-year-old child—why would Luo Fu, who had awakened the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan, look at him so differently?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Hokage Tower,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A step behind, they learned Luo Fu had accepted the little girl named Izumi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Hokage’s office,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Konoha F4 simultaneously smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since ascending to power, the Konoha F4—once battle-hardened warriors who had fought countless wars under the Second Hokage—had gradually transformed into these old, manipulative schemers, utterly devoid of their former passion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to them, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Shadow of the Shinobi, Danzō Shimura, were almost decent—they still retained traces of their old blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Hokage, during the Chunin Exams, had dared to confront his own student Orochimaru. Though he died in a pitiful manner, with Orochimaru as his foil, he at least died as a hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danzō Shimura constantly claimed “everything for the village,” even fooling himself—but in life-or-death moments, he never lacked the courage for mutual destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Mizukami En and Tōnami Koharu had long since become complete wastes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Danzō,” Hiruzen Sarutobi, after exhaling deeply, warned him uneasily: “Since Luo Fu has accepted the girl named Izumi, it means he isn’t truly devoid of emotion. Bonds take time to form. Before he establishes a solid bond with Uchiha Izumi, don’t do anything unnecessary!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand perfectly,” Danzō Shimura’s face, which had just smiled, instantly darkened again. He gritted his teeth: “After the war and the Nine-Tails’ rampage, the village can no longer afford the cost of a desperate fight with a malevolent Uchiha. Damn it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of having to endure humiliation before an Uchiha filled Danzō with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slammed his cane repeatedly against the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite having only one arm, Danzō easily carved multiple uneven pits into the ground with his cane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hiruzen, I’ll scale back Root operations. Unless absolutely necessary, Root will only monitor external enemies. Also, I’ll find a way to restore my arm. Don’t worry—I won’t act against that malevolent Uchiha. I know what’s urgent and what’s not!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satisfied with Danzō’s assurance, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded while puffing his pipe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Tōnami Koharu remained uneasy: “But a bond with just a little girl seems insufficient. Shouldn’t we arrange another bond for Uchiha Luo Fu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t do anything unnecessary!” Hiruzen immediately warned. “Take it step by step. Once Luo Fu and this girl named Izumi form a bond—like a fortress with a crack opened—we’ll gradually deepen his ties to the village.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I recall Luo Fu is quite old, isn’t he?” Mizukami En, cleverer than the others, feigned concern: “Compared to a distant, previously unconnected sister, perhaps we should help him build a complete family. If he has children, I believe—even if he never becomes a loyal supporter of the village—he’ll become a guardian of the Will of Fire, simply to protect his child.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danzō Shimura, who had just claimed he’d scale back Root, instantly brightened: “Mizukami is right. I happen to have a perfect candidate—a traveling shrine maiden. She’s an excellent spy. If…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Danzō could elaborate, Hiruzen tapped his pipe sharply on the desk: “Danzō, I just told Itachi—don’t do anything unnecessary. Don’t Itachi remember why he was graduated early and sent to the Second Shinobi World War?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But… but Mizukami’s point is valid,” Danzō protested. “A family is a stronger bond than a distant sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen stared deeply at Danzō: “Even so, we must not act rashly. I have a feeling—if we try to arrange bonds for him this way and he discovers it, he’ll wage war against the village at any cost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it! Must we keep swallowing our pride for a malevolent Uchiha? Is this still the Konoha founded by the First Hokage? Does the Will of Fire mean nothing?” Danzō fumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no other choice,” Hiruzen said, frowning. “The village can’t afford to fight an enemy who’s awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think we don’t necessarily need direct arrangements,” Tōnami Koharu suddenly said. “We could contact Uchiha Fugaku and subtly encourage Luo Fu to interact more with talented female ninja. Bonds often form unintentionally and cling tightly between two people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s acceptable,” Hiruzen mused, then nodded. “We can only nudge things along—never arrange everything. Remember the past.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After deciding to arrange more bonds for Luo Fu, Hiruzen changed the subject: “How’s the investigation into Kushina’s body going?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After setting the matter of arranging more bonds for Luo Fu, Hiruzen Sarutobi changed the subject and said, “How is the investigation into Kushina Uzumaki’s corpse progressing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to the Root's investigation at the scene, there must have been others present when Minato died!\" Shisui Danzō said. \"The corpse of the Nine-Tails jinchuriki was likely taken by those people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have Itachi identified who those people are?\" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui Danzō shook his head. \"My Root arrived too late—we never saw them directly. But several ninja in the village had contact with them. Perhaps we can trace their identities through that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen Sarutobi paused, then said: \"I’ll arrange an investigation. I myself saw those individuals that night—those who went to the scene and took Kushina’s body. They wore black robes with no visible insignia, yet… they were strange. When I fought them, I felt their techniques resembled the puppetry of the Hidden Sand. Each carried ornamental items resembling short black rods—these ‘ornaments’ must have another purpose. Root should shift its investigation toward them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Itachi saw them?\" Shisui Danzō exclaimed. \"Then why didn’t Itachi stop them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen Sarutobi’s face darkened. He refilled his pipe, ignited it with a Fire Release, and spoke slowly: \"I was fighting the Nine-Tails when I arrived at the scene—I was already at my limit. I’d like to ask Itachi: where was your Root that night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I…\" Shisui Danzō fell silent, then defended himself: \"My Root was monitoring the Uchiha clan that night. And nearly all our strongest members died months ago at the hands of that evil Uchiha, Luo Fu. Even I am now left with only one arm. Even if I wished to help, I am powerless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Danzō, this isn’t the time to assign blame between us,\" Transmuted Konohamaru asked anxiously. \"Could this organization—appearing suddenly in Konoha and taking the Nine-Tails jinchuriki’s corpse—be connected to the Uchiha who caused the Nine-Tails’ rampage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many people in the village saw the Sharingan of the Nine-Tails that night? Do we even need to ask? It’s certainly the evil Uchiha,\" Shisui Danzō growled. \"If I hadn’t lacked direct evidence, I’d even suspect Luo Fu himself released the Nine-Tails. Who knows what strange ocular technique he gained after awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no need to suspect Luo Fu!\" Hiruzen Sarutobi said. \"After I was murdered at the Lake Biwa, I arrived in the delivery room within seconds. Though I didn’t witness the moment the Nine-Tails was unleashed, Minato said this man differed from Luo Fu in every way. It couldn’t have been Luo Fu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then if that’s true,\" Shisui Danzō’s heart tightened, \"the Uchiha still harbor another individual with a Mangekyō Sharingan—someone filled with hatred for the village, and who has already acted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Mangekyō-wielding, arrogant Luo Fu was already enough to force them into uneasy compromise. Now another, even more evil Uchiha had emerged—someone who struck at the village during the Nine-Tails jinchuriki’s childbirth, unleashing the Nine-Tailed Fox to ravage the entire village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizukado Enma adjusted his glasses. \"Let’s first investigate thoroughly. The village simply cannot endure more turmoil.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, the Nine-Tails’ rampage seemed to have caused little damage beyond the death of the Fourth Hokage, the Golden Flash, Minato Namikaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in truth, it was an epic weakening of Konoha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fourth Hokage and his wife—one wielding the Space-Time Ninjutsu, Flying Thunder God, the other the strategic deterrent of the Nine-Tails jinchuriki—were both gone at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new Nine-Tails jinchuriki had only been born a few months ago and was utterly useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond that, countless mid-tier Jonin of Konoha had died that night trying to stop the Nine-Tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without counting the Fourth Hokage and his wife—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People like Yūhi Red, and the husband-and-wife team of Kinoe—both staunch believers in the Will of Fire, and among the Third Hokage’s most loyal supporters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the Nine-Tails’ rampage had plunged Konoha’s strength by more than one tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To secure the village’s core, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately dispatched ninja that very night, splitting into three groups: one to summon Orochimaru back from the Land of Grass battlefield, the other two to locate Jiraiya and Tsunade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konoha had always been short on strength, but never this desperately so—especially with the evil Uchiha still inside, Suishikenengbianchengdirende .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Hokage had no choice but to recall his three disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Hokage’s office, the Konoha F4 spent several days discussing ways to consolidate their power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Uchiha clan compound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu looked at the chubby little child, her face still smudged with soot, her expression uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What were Itachi doing?\" Luo Fu clapped his hands lightly before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wind-type chakra surged instantly, blowing through the windows and clearing the room’s thick smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I…\" The child fidgeted nervously, twisting her small fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu saw at once: Uchiha Izumi was trying to cook breakfast to win his favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment’s thought revealed the child’s inner anxiety and unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of Luo Fu’s arrival, Uchiha Hazuki—who should have died in the Nine-Tails’ rampage—was alive, leaving Izumi suddenly orphaned. And without the experience of being saved by Uchiha Sasuke—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izumi’s trauma from the Nine-Tails’ rampage was unprecedented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t forget: countless villagers hated Naruto because the Nine-Tails’ rampage killed so many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their fear and hatred of the Nine-Tails fell entirely on Naruto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Izumi was likely one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overnight, both parents dead, home destroyed—and just as she was about to be sent to an orphanage, the Uchiha clan came for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike those who deliberately hid their identity, Izumi’s mother, Uchiha Hazuki, had no ninja talent, nor had any of her ancestors for two generations. She never concealed her Uchiha heritage from Izumi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izumi knew she carried Uchiha blood—but she never imagined the Uchiha would come for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though only five, Izumi understood the Uchiha clan’s reputation in the village. Without exaggeration, whenever trouble arose, everyone silently suspected the Uchiha. This was the result of years of ingrained public perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Izumi herself had once viewed the Uchiha clan as a flood or a beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her mother, Uchiha Hazuki, had still lived, she might have had some sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, she was lost and bewildered, brought to the Uchiha compound and placed in the care of a stranger, made his sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu had no memory of Uchiha Izumi. Neither did she have any memory of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two strangers suddenly thrust together as siblings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them—a traumatized, orphaned child, her soul still fragile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no surprise she tried to win Luo Fu’s favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing Izumi’s intent, Luo Fu gently wiped the soot from her face. \"Itachi probably don’t remember me as your brother. Neither do I. But since we’ll be living together, there’s no need to be so cautious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ruffled Izumi’s hair. \"Go wash up and change. We’re going for grilled meat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konoha’s grilled meat was famous—far superior in taste and value to that so-called Ichiraku Ramen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After awakening his past memories, Luo Fu had eaten plenty of Ichiraku Ramen due to his initial impression. He had to admit: its flavor was truly excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ultimately, Ichiraku Ramen was just fast food. Only Naruto, raised in poverty since childhood, held a deep emotional attachment to it. Even an ordinary villager wouldn’t consider it a delicacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Uchiha Izumi sighed in relief. Following her mother’s teachings, she bowed deeply to Luo Fu, then hurried back to her room on her chubby little legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While waiting for Izumi to change, Luo Fu gazed thoughtfully toward the Hokage Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to know: what would these people do when he took this unexpected sister, Uchiha Izumi, out for grilled meat—when he began to accept her, and slowly built bonds with the clan and the village?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would they do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Naruto world, Uchiha Luo Fu had begun to settle, gained sufficient self-preservation power in a short time, and even began ambitious schemes to challenge the Sage of Six Paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Demon Slayer world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant the Demon Luo Fu returned from the shared space—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A peculiar energy surged into his body, appearing out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Uchiha bloodline within him purified the power he had gained from Kaguya’s blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More accurately, the Uchiha bloodline and the demon bloodline quickly established dominance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Kaguya’s blood was indeed miraculous—once a human was transformed into a demon, those with talent could wield Blood Demon Arts rivaling even the strongest techniques of the ninja world—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In essence, Kaguya’s blood was utterly defeated before the Uchiha bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when Luo Fu’s eyes began to manifest one Sharingan tomoe after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From one, to two, to three tomoe—rising steadily. As he neared the Mangekyō, the limitations imposed by Kaguya’s blood shattered instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Infinite Castle, Kaguya suddenly narrowed his eyes—he sensed that Luo Fu, once transformed by him alongside Kokushibo and elevated to the Upper Twelve, had suddenly vanished from his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t death that caused this. Kaguya had experienced this before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, the woman named Jui, whom Kaguya had deceived, had also escaped his control after receiving his blood—somehow breaking free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected another such uncontrollable being to emerge among the Upper Twelve after so many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes filled with murderous intent. Kaguya immediately summoned all the Upper Twelve to the Infinite Castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu’s strength—whether as a Demon Slayer or as a demon—had always ranked among the highest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a powerful being, once free of his control, could not be killed by ordinary Lower Twelve—even if they attacked together, they’d only be offering themselves as meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the Upper Twelve could possibly stand against Luo Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Kaguya himself could kill Luo Fu. But the moment he sensed Luo Fu’s loss of control, a powerful premonition struck him—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he personally went after Luo Fu, he might face mortal danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaguya was a man who cherished his life. How could he risk his safety?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until he understood how Luo Fu had escaped his control, Kaguya would never appear before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3797,"2026-06-21T01:08:28.363Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","61ec3b71aaf4afa125d2b009ef4eb07913c3de4ffc4dfffe6224c4db2c03689f","simultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-chapter-89","simultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-chapter-87",686,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-cover.jpg"]
