Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"Obito, have we just joined a mysterious organization?"

Outside of Konoha Village, Zetsu looked toward Obito, "We don't know the exact time it was formed, we're unaware of the specific members within the organization, nor the true identity of our leader."

"When it's time to contact us, we also require the leader of the organization himself to notify us—"

"We don't know anything."

Is this really an organization?

Why does it feel more like playing house?

Uchiha Obito said, "He has already shown us his strength. That surge of Chakra was not inferior to Uchiha Madara's, and even Black Zetsu's spores had no effect on him."

"Such a powerful person, yet he hides in Konoha, must surely have unspeakable secrets."

"Moreover, if he says this to all members of the organization, it proves he possesses an extremely strong ability to control—being able to keep Konoha from causing an uproar even when none of the organization members are aware of who the others are."

Black Zetsu then asked, "Then, why didn't they intervene during the Nine-Tails' disturbance?"

Uchiha Obito countered, "Why do you think they didn't intervene?"

"What do you mean?"

"Was I really able to find the location of Kushina's childbirth so easily because my information exceeded Konoha's expectations?" Uchiha Obito grew somewhat uncertain, "Perhaps, they gave me a hint at that time. You should've noticed, right? When that person stands beside us, our thoughts become extremely active, and a myriad of ideas come flooding."

Black Zetsu fell silent for a moment, then said, "Konoha needs to be vigilant, Obito."

"I have always been vigilant towards Konoha," Uchiha Obito said gravely, "and remember, I am now Uchiha Madara!"

Black Zetsu: "..."

Meanwhile, the commotion in the Forest of Death had caught the attention of the Konoha ninjas. The Third Hokage sent people to investigate, but besides discovering a wrecked battlefield, no enemies were found.

"Was someone practicing Ninjutsu there?" Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered, "That place is closest to the Uchiha clan's training ground, and the only ones possibly capable of causing such a wide range of Ninjutsu damage are Fugaku and Itachi."

In Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, within the Uchiha clan, only these two possessed such capabilities.

But why would they create such a disturbance in the Forest of Death for no reason?

If a fire were to break out in the forest, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Knock knock knock!"

The office door sounded.

Then, Uchiha Itachi entered, reporting to Sarutobi Hiruzen about Uchiha Obito. Uplоаdеd by thе М|V|L(ЕМРYR) tеаm.

"You're referring to the masked man?!" Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed his desk, his entire being stirred up, "That guy has snuck into Konoha again... So, Itachi, was it you who repelled that man?"

"No," Uchiha Itachi shook his head, "Although I was at the scene, I did not dare to watch the subsequent fight, nor do I know who that masked guy was actually battling."

In fact, he saw a part of it.

The person who made a move was the leader of the organization in red who had impersonated Kakashi, but he did not get too close and could only feel the strong fluctuations of Chakra.

Moreover, he could not reveal the matter of the organization in red now, as it involved the life of the Third Hokage!

"Is that so?" Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and sat back in his office chair.

"Lord Hokage, do you know that masked man?" Uchiha Itachi asked.

"During the Nine-Tails disturbance, it seemed to be that guy who unsealed the Nine-Tails. Otherwise, the Fourth Hokage and Kushina wouldn't have..." Sarutobi Hiruzen recounted his encounter with the masked man during the Nine-Tails disturbance.

"It's likely the same person," Uchiha Itachi clenched his fist. It was that guy who brought shame to the Uchiha, and made the clan ostracized by the village. If he could catch the masked man in the future, perhaps the Uchiha could become heroes of Konoha.

"Itachi, you've worked hard. Go back and rest for now," Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to be alone and think quietly about how to deal with the masked man who had appeared again within Konoha.

"Lord Hokage, I have one more thing to report,"

Uchiha Itachi did not leave, but began to talk about the news of the Uchiha clan wanting to carry out a coup against the high echelons of Konoha.

"A coup..." Sarutobi Hiruzen's face grew increasingly serious, "Itachi, you should be aware, right? Regardless of whether the Uchiha are successful or not, they will be ostracized by the entire village of Konoha!"

The title of Hokage is granted by the acknowledgment of all the villagers of Konoha.

If whoever is strong enough could become Hokage, then what differentiates a ninja from an ordinary wild beast?

"I am well aware of this," Uchiha Itachi said solemnly.

"So, Itachi, what do you plan to do?" Sarutobi Hiruzen had never felt as old as he did today.

To wage war against the Uchiha?

This is but a way for Konoha to tear itself apart, and the other Ninja villages, especially the Hidden Cloud Village and Fourth Raikage Ai, will definitely find a way to take a bite out of them.

We can't do that!

But if the Uchiha clan really stages a coup, it wouldn't be good for the Konoha high-level officials not to take action.

So, Sarutobi Hiruzen tossed the problem back to Uchiha Itachi.

"Hokage-sama, I believe that the reason our clan harbors such thoughts is simply to obtain the rights and justice that rightfully belong to us," Uchiha Itachi said insightfully.

"Although I am the Hokage, the pair of huge Sharingan in the Nine-Tails during the incident cannot be concealed no matter what. The high-level officials must give an explanation to all of Konoha," the Hokage sighed deeply, "This is not something I can decide alone. Originally, when the Uchiha clan was marginalized to the outskirts near the main city, it was proposed jointly by the two advisors and Danzo."

"Danzo!"

Uchiha Itachi clenched his teeth in secret, took a deep breath, and said, "I understand. I will try my best to persuade the clan members, particularly my father."

If all else fails, I might have to use the Sharingan eye given to me by Shisui to modify my father's will!

And the other Sharingan eye of Shisui's is in Danzo's hands, right?

Although Uchiha Shisui didn't tell Itachi the truth, Itachi had managed to investigate and find some clues during this period, eventually focusing on Danzo.

Danzo Shimura, the Root of Konoha, acted rather radically and believed only he could protect Konoha properly, always coveting the position of Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Uchiha Itachi, as the Hokage, I can give a guarantee to your people..."

After leaving the Hokage's office, Uchiha Itachi went to the clan's area and found his father, saying, "Today I met the individual who caused the Nine-Tails incident, it was him, who led to our exclusion from Konoha!"

But merely by persuasion, Uchiha Itachi couldn't convince his father to change his mind.

Therefore, transferring the conflict would be an excellent method.

"What?" Uchiha Fugaku's black pupils instantly turned red, and three tomoe appeared, "Where is he?"

"He's already fled, the disturbance in the Forest of Death was created by him," Uchiha Itachi said calmly, "Father, gather the clansmen. Accompany me to the Hokage's office, the Hokage-sama has given me a guarantee, as long as we can prove our innocence, we can return to the central position in Konoha's main city."

However, Uchiha Fugaku did not feel pleased, understanding that it was his son who snitched to the Hokage, and then the Hokage wanted to appease them.

But in the end, Uchiha Fugaku still assembled Tekka, Inabi, and the others, and followed Uchiha Itachi to the Hokage's office.

At that moment, representatives of other families, such as Hyuga Hitashi, Akimichi Chouza, Yamanaka Inoichi, Shikaku Nara, as well as Danzo Shimura, Mito Menyan, and Tenshin Komatsu were present.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "The reason I called everyone here is to discuss the treatment of the Uchiha clan. Together with the First Hokage, they founded Konoha and should not be marginalized."

"Hiruzen, do you know what you are talking about?" Danzo was the first to disagree.

"We all know very well that the Uchiha clan itself has nothing to do with the Nine-Tails incident, and the Sharingan alone cannot prove anything," Sarutobi Hiruzen stated calmly, "And today, the true culprit behind the Nine-Tails incident has appeared once again."

Everyone was silent, just absorbing the massive information.

For what purpose has the culprit of the Nine-Tails incident come again?

And, what is the Third Hokage planning to do?

"Even though the pair of Sharingan in the eyes of the Nine-Tails left a deep impression on everyone, I believe that it has nothing to do with the Uchiha clan itself," Sarutobi Hiruzen looked very seriously at Uchiha Fugaku, "Perhaps I'm saying this too late, but I can make a promise to the Uchiha clan: as long as we capture that individual, we can surely clear the Uchiha of their wrongful blame!"

Uchiha Fugaku understood that this was merely a delaying tactic, and he even suspected that the ruckus in the Forest of Death was orchestrated by the Hokage and others, just to divert the Uchiha clan's attention.

But what if it were true?

He couldn't help but speculate in the direction given by Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others.

Once hope is kindled in the heart, one does not choose the worst path!

"Thank you for your understanding, Hokage-sama. Our Uchiha clan will certainly bring the one who stole our Uchiha blood to justice!" Uchiha Fugaku chose to compromise, and since Sarutobi Hiruzen made a guarantee by bringing all the clan leaders of the village together, he had shown enough sincerity.

As the head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku felt he might be blamed if he still chose to stage a coup afterwards.

Uchiha Tekka, Uchiha Inabi, and Uchiha Tekka expressed their gratitude to the Third Hokage alongside Uchiha Fugaku and were willing to go through fire and water to catch the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Next, Sarutobi Hiruzen invited Uchiha Fugaku and others to sit down and discuss the new E-rank and F-rank missions that Konoha had rolled out.

Uchiha Fugaku pondered to himself: "Perhaps this is the Third Hokage's main purpose for convening the meeting, simply to let the Ninja Academy students carry out E and F rank missions in their free time... How did the Third Hokage come up with this idea? However, for the new generation of Uchiha, delivering supplies to Konoha's orphans may gradually improve the Uchiha reputation among villagers."

"...And that's the situation. However, such missions also require funding, can everyone chip in?" Sarutobi Hiruzen revealed his true motive.

E and F rank missions, equivalent to public service projects, also needed compensation.

After Danzo left, Sarutobi Hiruzen also pondered for a while and felt that indeed the village resources should be cherished, so he thought of involving other families as well, and then all could have their names on the mission board.

Everyone: "..."
