An unknown Uchiha during the Second Ninja War was dispatched by Konoha to carry out a mission targeting the Iwa Shinobi.
In the end, he lost both eyes, and half his body was destroyed.
Later, upon returning to the village, his merits were secretly stripped, and there was not even any commendation in terms of money? He ended up miserable and helpless.
This created the kind of personality now, looking disappointed in everyone, uninterested in the entire world, and even starting to become indifferent to his own son.
Hiruzen felt this wasn't a low-probability event. Even if it were another Konoha ninja, such unfair events were far from rare.
Konoha was not as glorious and dazzling as it appeared on the surface.
'Moreover, this man is an Uchiha?'
Given Danzo's attitude of hostility toward the Uchiha, doing such targeted things was not unusual. He only needed to slightly use the power in his hands to completely ruin an Uchiha.
'So, the son of this unknown Uchiha, Uchiha Sasuke, after seeing his father become like this, besides anger in his heart, is also mentally stimulated strongly, and that's why he awakened this pair of three-tomoe Sharingan?'
'Uchiha Sasuke also began to develop hatred toward Konoha and the Hokage, vowing to seek justice for his father.'
'No wonder Uchiha Sasuke asked me earlier, what is the village? What is a ninja? And whether protecting the village necessarily requires harming another group of Konoha villagers?'
'No wonder, after I said all sacrifices are necessary, Uchiha Sasuke's reaction was so intense.'
'So, Uchiha Sasuke's father was harmed like this.'
Hiruzen felt as if a fog had been lifted, and at the same time, a sense of guilt rose in his heart.
This unknown Uchiha gave his son the same name as his own father, clearly hoping that his son would become a hero like his grandfather.
Just like Obito, this was also an Uchiha who believed in the Will of Fire.
But such an Uchiha did not receive the treatment he deserved. It was truly a sin.
Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, 'Danzo, oh Danzo, you made a mistake in this matter, but I'll take the blame for you. That way, at least your reputation will remain better.'
Hiruzen sighed and looked toward Obito, "Sorry, Konoha really shouldn't have treated the wartime meritorious like this. It was my dereliction of duty in the past. Now that I know about this, compensation is due, and I will double it."
"As for the matter of Sasuke releasing killing intent at me, that's also something he should have done. I promise, Konoha will not hold you accountable for this."
As a result, both Obito and Sasuke were stunned by these words.
'What exactly is going on in the Hokage's mind now?'
However, both of their expressions didn't look too good.
Double compensation, now that everything had already happened, how could it be compensated?
Sasuke's request was actually quite simple: give him back his family, give him back his clan.
Could Hiruzen produce two elder brothers for him, two Uchiha Mikotos, and two Uchiha Fugakus?
The same was true for Obito. He had already been recorded on the Memorial Stone and was admired by many, and some dead-fish-eyed guy always visited him when free.
But what use was that?
Rin was already dead.
Obito said, "Hokage-sama, to be honest, I never blamed Konoha for this matter. But the dead can't come back. Saying more now is meaningless."
Hiruzen was stunned, then thought of a certain possibility, and sighed, "Your comrade died during a mission?"
Obito replied calmly, "Yes, she died. Although death in missions is the most normal thing, when my comrade died, she was very far away from me. I had just escaped danger and rushed over."
"As a result, although I made it, Konoha, which was closer to her location, didn't send a single reinforcement."
"In the end, she fell, in my arms, becoming a corpse that gradually cooled…"
Obito stopped there and said, "Forget it. What's the use of complaining about all this now?"
Rather than pour his bitterness onto Hiruzen in another world, it was better to carry out his plan quickly and get the Infinite Tsukuyomi started as soon as possible.
Hiruzen fell silent. This kind of act of abandoning comrades for a greater cause, they, the Konoha higher-ups, had all done it.
For a moment, he couldn't tell who exactly had given the order.
He could only say, "It was my fault. I'm sorry. I will send someone to deliver compensation to you. Consider it a token of Konoha's goodwill."
If possible, Hiruzen still really wanted to recruit this Uchiha Sasuke, whose name was the same as his father and who clearly wasn't weak.
Maybe he could add a powerful combat force to Konoha again.
Just as Hiruzen was thinking about calling Fugaku afterward to ask about Uchiha Sasuke's family situation, two more people walked into the dango shop.
Also two Uchiha.
Uchiha Fugaku brought Uchiha Itachi and walked in.
Everyone present, except for Obito who showed no change in expression, changed faces.
Especially Sasuke, who was frozen on the spot. He didn't expect that in such a situation, he would meet his father and brother from this world.
Hiruzen revealed a hint of joy on his face. He had just been thinking about Fugaku, and now Fugaku had appeared. Choosing to come eat sweets at the dango shop today was really the right decision.
Some mistakes, if stopped early, could also avoid creating even greater irreversible losses.
He immediately waved to Fugaku and smiled, "Fugaku, brought your son to eat dango too?"
Fugaku was stunned. He hadn't expected to run into the Hokage in the dango shop scene. Could it be, the Hokage also liked sweets like Itachi?
He smiled and said, "Yes, I had promised Itachi earlier that if he behaved, I would bring him to eat dango. Although kids eating too many sweets isn't good, occasionally eating once or twice isn't a big problem."
Fugaku was referring to how, during the time they killed Danzo, Itachi had listened to Obito and stabbed Danzo with a kunai, perfectly completing the mission.
He indeed deserved some reward, so today, Fugaku made time to bring Itachi to the sweets shop.
As a result, the small Itachi was very tsundere, blushing slightly and saying, "It's not like I wanted to eat sweets. Obviously it was Father who wanted to eat."
The Third Hokage couldn't help but walk over to Itachi, reached out, and patted his head.
"Itachi, you're two years old this year, right? There's a question I think it's time to ask you, what is your dream?"
Little Itachi at this moment was very awkward. Not long ago, he had stabbed Danzo once, and didn't know what kind of attitude he should have facing the Third Hokage.
He could only shrink behind his father and say, "My dream is to protect Dad and Mom, protect the clan, protect the village, and be a filial person."
This was his father, under the influence of Obito's ideology, teaching him every day beside his ear.
Once these words came out, the Third Hokage smiled in satisfaction. That was very much the Will of Fire's ideology, and he appreciated it greatly.
But the Third didn't notice, beside them, Sasuke, who had just taken a sip of tea to regulate his mood, couldn't help but spray the tea out of his mouth...
