After resolving his survival issues, Uchiha Lan Luo started thinking about causing trouble. The suppression his previous self endured for years had to be avenged.
Thus, Lan Luo penned "The Rise of the Strongest Ninja Clan in the Ninja World," detailing the rise of the Sarutobi Clan from being an affiliated family of the Senju Clan during the Sengoku period to becoming the top Ninja clan in the Ninja World today.
Many female members of the scattered Senju Clan in Konoha married into the Sarutobi Clan. He wrote everything he could, regardless of whether it was true, but the fact that they had three thousand Ninja troops was real, which implied they had done all those things.
From the Konoha High Council F4 abandoning the Hokage while serving as his guards, only to return to the Village and become Hokage themselves, to Sakumo Hatake being forced to his death for saving his comrades—this was the Will of Fire.
The article analyzed that because of the half-Hokage title granted by the Daimyo, and because Sakumo Hatake's prestige was too high at the time, making him a strong contender for Hokage, he, not being from a direct lineage, could only be persecuted.
Later, a second reason was the abandonment of Uzushiogakure, leading to its destruction. As beneficiaries of the F4's family interests, most of Konoha's Sealing Technique scrolls are now monopolized by these few families. The Sealing Squad and Barrier Squad also have the most members from these families.
The F4 should be held responsible for the Konoha Ninja who died in the war against Hidden Mist, because if Uzushiogakure had been rescued then, Konoha would not have been targeted by Hidden Mist.
Don't say there wasn't enough time; they were able to bring back a Jinchuriki. Most of Uzushiogakure's legacy and Sealing Technique went missing. Did Konoha dispatch a large number of Root members to intercept or to rescue? In any case, not a single orphan from Uzushiogakure dared to run to Konoha.
Then came the demise of the Senju Clan. Many Senju Clan members voluntarily joined the Wood Release experiments, only to later learn that the mortality rate was very high, thus abandoning the Wood Release experiments.
Ultimately, the experiments were restarted. It's unknown if the High Council had abandoned the Wood Release experiments, but many Senju Clan members suffered the same treatment as the Uchiha now: ostracized in the Village and hunted outside.
Imagine receiving a mission to leave the Village only to be meticulously set up. The High Council was colluding to ambush and kill Konoha Ninja, then conduct Wood Release experiments.
Even the Second Hokage's grandson was not spared, dying from explosion tags around his own camp in the Land of Fire. Does that sound familiar? Missions to leave the Village, ambushes, the same methods. And why were his internal organs removed? Could they have been used for Wood Release experiments?
Konoha's official explanation was that Orochimaru experimented on fellow Village Ninja. But if Konoha Village was under the surveillance of Anbu and Root, why did it take so long to discover that Orochimaru was the culprit after so many people went missing? Can experiments be conducted by just one person? Where did the funding come from? Where did the First Hokage's cells come from? And did Orochimaru capture all the people by himself?
The article also wrote that Sarutobi originally groomed Orochimaru to be Hokage, and Orochimaru was very much liked by the Third Hokage. However, he had too many subordinate Ninja. Once he stepped down, he would lose power, which the High Council would not allow. So, he could only take the blame. Orochimaru was also backstabbed by his teacher, the Third Hokage. He was clearly instructed to conduct Wood Release experiments, but then he was ambushed.
Because the money for various instruments alone for the experiments was not a small sum. Also, the Root has always been responsible for capturing fellow Village Ninja, but the Root wears the same uniform as the Anbu. Every time there's trouble, it's the Root; all the good deeds are attributed to the Anbu. One is the bright Third Hokage, the other is the dark Danzo. They fool Konoha into thinking they're idiots, and Konoha actually believes them.
Since then, Tsunade left (having sensed the darkness of the Village), Orochimaru (a poor wretch backstabbed by his teacher), and Jiraiya (using the excuse of finding the Child of Prophecy)—none of them are in Konoha.
The exposure of Orochimaru's human experiments before the Fourth Hokage election, wasn't that a coincidence? Then Minato Namikaze became the Fourth Hokage, but the Anbu was still under Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Root didn't obey orders, and none of the High Council listened. All orders could only be issued by the Hokage after the Third Hokage reviewed them.
However, less than a year after becoming Hokage, the Nine-Tailed incident occurred. Many people saw the Three Tomoe in the Nine-Tailed's eyes. The entire incident pointed to the Uchiha Clan.
There is a stone tablet at the Uchiha Naka Shrine, left by the Six Paths Sage, stating that unifying Yin and Yang can grant the power of All Creation, which is the power of the Rinnegan.
I estimate that Danzo obtained the Wood Release power through experiments and the Sharingan through ambushing the Uchiha, but not being of Uchiha blood, he did not gain the power of All Creation. However, controlling the Nine-Tailed was effortless for him.
Then, before the Uchiha Clan could even assemble their family Ninja, they were all surrounded by Root and Anbu and forbidden from leaving their compound. Knowing that the family Ninja hadn't even assembled yet, if they didn't know what would happen tonight, would they have been surrounded like that?
Danzo also did not participate in fighting the Nine-Tailed, and the Jinchuriki's delivery date was highly confidential, known only to the High Council.
From the consequences, we see that the Uchiha Clan was relocated to the Naka River, the Third Hokage got promoted and rich while his wife died, Danzo obtained the power of All Creation, and the four major families swallowed up the Uchiha's original clan compound.
What pains us most is the Fourth Hokage's orphan, Naruto Uzumaki. His parents, as Hokage and Jinchuriki, died protecting the Village, then he became the Nine-Tailed Fox. His family's two streets of property and villa were taken, and he was forced to live in a dilapidated wooden house, eating expired milk and rice balls mixed with sand. Is this the treatment for a hero's orphan? They say it's because the Fourth Hokage had many enemies and they feared assassination, but then they also spread that Naruto is the Nine-Tailed Fox. Everyone knows the importance of a Jinchuriki.
Finally, there's education. From the Ninja education of the Second Hokage's era to the Third Hokage's brainwashing education, it's truly the strongest genjutsu: the Will of Fire, with the strongest Third Hokage and the Will of Fire as the core curriculum.
How powerful is this curriculum? Kakashi Hatake listens to his father's killer and completes missions at all costs.
Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi are staunch supporters of the Third Hokage, willing to betray and kill their entire clan to uphold the Will of Fire.
Inferring from the Sarutobi Clan's development history, they dispersed their clan among civilian Ninja, then systematically destroyed large families one by one, thereby engulfing various clans. They suppressed smaller ones and annihilated larger ones. The next to follow the path of the Uzumaki Clan and Senju Clan is the Uchiha Clan, followed by the Hyuga Clan. From the Third Hokage's action of handing over Hizashi Hyuga, it can be seen that the members of this clan only listen to the main house of the Hyuga, not the Hokage's orders. They are not good inheritors of the Will of Fire!
After Uchiha Lan Luo finished writing this article, he felt completely enlightened. He first went to find the Second Elder, Uchiha Setsuna.
"Lan Luo, what do you need me for?" Uchiha Setsuna was also surprised. He had gone to find Fugaku earlier today after hearing the boy had returned, and now he was here to see him again tonight.
"Elder, I've written an article and need your help to publish it," Lan Luo said respectfully.
"What article? Let me see it." Uchiha Setsuna took the few sheets of paper and gasped after reading them.
"Is all of this true?" Uchiha Setsuna even doubted if he was still a dove. This boy was even more radical than him.
