Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"Such intense murderous intent, have I done something to offend you, Uchiha Itachi?"

Kakashi, having sensed the killing intent in advance and left Konoha's main city to approach the Death Forest, turned around and saw Itachi's figure. He was genuinely puzzled.

This murderous aura was as deep as the sea, without a single ripple, incredibly suppressing.

"You should not have looked at Sasuke." Uchiha Itachi instantly activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, staring coldly at Kakashi.

Kakashi: "..."

No!

Just by glancing at Sasuke, he caught Itachi's attention?

They're just brothers, right?

Indeed!

All the members of the Uchiha clan, except for Obito, have some problems in their heads.

"Could there be some misunderstanding?" Kakashi tried to explain, the face under his mask striving to form a smile.

But with the mask on, his effort to smile couldn't be seen by Itachi.

"Misunderstanding?"

Uchiha Itachi chuckled lightly, then said with an emotionless face, "Come duel with me, Kakashi, I will show you the might of the Uchiha clan!"

Members of the Akatsuki Organization were not aware of each other's identities. He could guess Kakashi's identity, and it was enough that he himself knew; Kakashi absolutely must not know his.

"What's gotten into him?"

Kakashi inwardly sensed trouble but also lifted his forehead protector, revealing his left eye's Three-Tomoe Sharingan: "Since you wish to spar with me, Itachi, I'll keep you company."

Ninjas from the same camp should not fight without reason, but a spar or contest was permissible.

Yet, the killing intent radiating from Itachi...

Kakashi understood that the man before him was intent on killing him in this "spar"... Completely unable to comprehend, where did he offend Uchiha Itachi.

The last meeting was strange, and this time's reasoning was utterly absurd.

Could it be that this guy is the type who is "overly protective of his brother, and won't allow others even a glance"?

Brother complex?

Regardless, now he had to use all his strength, or else he could easily be "accidentally" killed by his opponent. The latest chapters are uploaded first on M|V|LE3MPYR.

"Yo, Kakashi, what are you guys up to?" Just when the tension peaked, an upbeat voice rang out, and Guy, dressed in green, descended from the sky, landing between the two.

"Guy?" A hint of surprise flashed in Kakashi's eyes.

"Kakashi, are you competing with this young man?" Guy showed his bright white teeth, "This is youth!"

Uchiha Itachi retracted his Sharingan, and the murderous aura on his body dissipated in an instant, laughing, "Kakashi, since your friend is looking for you, let's spar another time."

Might Guy, a Jonin of Konoha, expert in taijutsu, especially the Eight Gates, could significantly boost his strength in an instant.

Uchiha Itachi recalled the information about this offbeat ninja and decided to abandon his plan for now.

After Uchiha Itachi left, the smile on Might Guy's face disappeared, and he looked at Kakashi with confusion: "Kakashi, it didn't quite seem like you were sparring... Did you offend him in some way?"

"That's exactly what I'm wondering about," Kakashi sighed, "But, Guy, your observation is quite sharp too, wisdom in simplicity."

Might Guy laughed heartily: "Well, I am a Jonin of Konoha after all!"

...

On Uchiha Itachi's side.

He pondered the likelihood of Might Guy being a member of Akatsuki.

"It's highly likely." Uchiha Itachi analyzed inwardly, "Kakashi and Might Guy seem to have been rivals since the Ninja Academy days, they're very close. Perhaps he's already been part of the small squad Kakashi has formed within Akatsuki."

"Two against one, there's a chance of winning, but the commotion would be too great, drawing the attention of other Konoha ninjas, not worth the risk."

"I cannot become a rogue ninja!"

If there were no Akatsuki, Uchiha Itachi might choose the worst-case scenario, to sacrifice his clan for the stability of Konoha and the safety of his younger brother.

Then, he would go undercover in the Akatsuki Organization, where the masked man was, to gather intelligence and, if possible, help eliminate that hidden threat.

But Akatsuki was in Konoha!

How could he let his brother fall under their control, even to subvert Konoha from within?

In comparison, Akatsuki was less important.

However, what somewhat comforted Uchiha Itachi was that under the appeasement of Konoha's higher-ups and the major clans, the Uchiha clan had temporarily abandoned the thoughts of a coup and directed all their anger toward the masked man.

Moreover, quite a few Uchiha ninja had taken on missions outside the village, hoping to find news of the masked man on their journeys.

Although there were still no gains by now, at least the conflicts had been diverted.

That was good enough.

"With this, Sasuke will have time to grow, and he can also have a happy childhood."

Who wouldn't want their little brother to have a happy childhood?

Uchiha Itachi sighed, suddenly remembering that his little brother was still on a task to deliver something. He smacked his head, "I suddenly left halfway through, I must have made Sasuke angry... I better go find him quickly."

What about Sasuke?

At that moment, he had already arrived at the second floor with the supplies in his hands and knocked on the door.

Creak!

The door opened to reveal a familiar figure.

"Why is it you?!"

Both exclaimed simultaneously, telepathically uttering the same sentence.

This was Naruto's home!

The place where Sasuke's task required delivering supplies was none other than Naruto's home.

"You rascal, aren't you also on a mission? How come you're back home?" Sasuke set down the box in his hands and was the first to start the conversation.

"I'm just a shadow clone... I was expecting someone else, not you," Naruto's shadow clone said with crossed arms and evident dissatisfaction.

"You should feel honored, for it's an Uchiha like me delivering supplies to you!" Uchiha Sasuke said haughtily, lifting his chin with a cold huff, "Moreover, haven't you grown a bit too tall?"

"You're being too conceited," Naruto's clone suddenly chuckled, reaching out to grab Sasuke's head, relentlessly scratching it, "And, who asked you to be so short?"

Sasuke's face flushed red, struggling fiercely to free himself from Naruto's grasp, but at seven years old, he had no strength to pull away from Naruto's larger hands.

"Haha, your head is quite nice to touch," Naruto's clone said with a cheerful laugh.

"Bastard! I'll definitely slaughter you!" Sasuke fumed, his face beet red. His head was something that only his brother could touch this way, how dare Naruto?!

Not far away, Uchiha Itachi saw the scuffle between Sasuke and Naruto's clone, and a slight smile appeared on his face, "It seems that Sasuke has also made a good friend, even if the identity of the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails is a bit sensitive."

As dusk fell, Iruka counted the number of students and nodded in satisfaction, then entered the Hokage's office to submit his report and collect the reward from him.

"Well done, Iruka," Sarutobi Hiruzen commended.

"Lord Hokage, it's all thanks to the children's efforts," Iruka said modestly, bidding farewell to Sarutobi Hiruzen and leaving the office to distribute the rewards for the tasks to each student.

Among them, Haruno Sakura and Naruto received the most reward, for they had created hundreds of shadow clones during the task, managing to do the work of a hundred while others did one.

As a result, their reward was naturally greater!

"This is awesome!" Naruto, looking at his first earnings, couldn't help but jump for joy, then asked, "Iruka-sensei, with my strength, I can totally take on D-rank missions..."

"Naruto!" Iruka's expression became very serious, "You can only try D-rank or higher missions once you've become real ninjas!"

"Moreover, being a real ninja means that you can stand on your own!"

"You are far from reaching that level yet!"

Seeing that Iruka was a bit angry, Naruto quickly lowered his profile, muttering quietly, "Sheesh, Iruka-sensei is just too serious."

Haruno Sakura, on the other hand, realized that she might already be far stronger than Iruka in terms of ability, but there was still a long way to go before becoming a qualified ninja.

Especially the topic that Iruka had abruptly stopped discussing—war.

A great number of the orphans in Konoha were related to the Nine-Tails' attack, but to Sakura, it seemed that more resulted from the wars between the major ninja villages.

In her spare time from training, she frequently interacted with various villagers and ninjas, understanding that ninja on missions outside the village could face all sorts of dangers.

The most troublesome was conflicts with ninja from other villages, which could lead to fights and, in severe cases, could even spark wars between two villages.

After realizing how many orphans and widows there were in Konoha, Sakura understood that if the malicious competition between ninja villages persisted, war would be inevitable.

As for war, the history books at the ninja academy only briefly mentioned it, such as: Konoha's ninja heroes won victories under the leadership of the Hokage.

But by now, Sakura could already start to comprehend the cruelty behind those two or three brief sentences.

Konoha didn't want the new generation to know the pain of war.

Sakura was unsure how to judge the educational department of Konoha's approach, but instinctively, she felt it was wrong; successors had the right to know the deeds of their predecessors.

"Master, what do you think?" Sakura asked Sun Wukong in her heart.

"Since you already have the answer, why ask me?" Sun Wukong smiled gently, "Just act according to your own thoughts, Sakura. Decide your own path, don't let others influence you, otherwise, even if you achieve high success, it will just be the arrangement of others."

"I understand, Master!" Sakura secretly made up her mind that once she became Hokage in the future, she would definitely find a way to solve the issue of orphans from the root!

That was what she needed to do! Her resolve!
