After Naruto changed into his new clothes, the two of them hurried toward the Uchiha Clan compound.
When they arrived, the place felt eerily silent. A once-thriving clan, now reduced to a ghost town with only Sasuke living there. For years, a child had been left to grow up alone in this empty place.
[Uchiha Fugaku: Damn it...We were once one of the two strongest clans in the village, and now look at us. All of this...it's my fault.]
[Uchiha Shisui: Is this really our Uchiha compound? It doesn't even feel like ho anymore....]
[Uchiha Fugaku: If only Minato had lived longer.... Back then, we actually got along well. If he were still here, the Uchiha Clan might've fully integrated into Konoha. If Minato hadn't died, we wouldn't have ended up like this.]
[Senju Tobirama: Speaking of Minato's death, there's sothing that's always bothered .]
[When he was fighting the Nine Tails, where were the rest of Konoha's ninjas? And that masked man... he had a Sharingan. He called himself Madara, but we all know he was an imposter. So who the hell was he?]
[Also, think about it. An Uchiha with the Nine Tails nearly wiped out the village, and Minato and Kushina had to face it alone? What were the other ninjas doing? Where was that damn monkey? And what about Danzo?]
[My Senju clan was long gone by then, but the Uchiha were still around. Fugaku, didn't you say you had a good relationship with Minato? You were the clan leader! why didn't you and your people step in to help?]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Believe , I've asked myself the sa question countless tis.]
[I still rember how Mikoto and I congratulated Minato and Kushina when she was about to give birth to Naruto.]
[Back then, Minato and I even talked about how we could integrate the Uchiha into Konoha.]
[But on the night of the attack... the mont I heard the news, I gathered all of our clan mbers, ready to fight alongside him and protect the village from the Nine Tails.]
[Senju Tobirama: Then why did Minato and Kushina still die? If the Uchiha really stepped up, why was there no record of it?]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Lord Second, let finish. And when I do, I just hope you can stomach the truth.]
[Senju Tobirama: Hmph. After everything I've seen in this village, I doubt anything could shock anymore.]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Then listen carefully. That night, as we were about to leave the compound, Danzo and his n surrounded us.]
[Senju Tobirama: ....What did you just say? Danzo? Didn't he claim to do everything for the village? Wasn't he supposed to be on the front lines? Then what the hell was he doing stopping the Uchiha from helping?]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Lord Second, please don't interrupt . Let finish first.]
[Senju Tobirama: Fine, fine! Keep going, I want to hear exactly what that one-eyed pirate was up to this ti.]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Danzo ordered us to stand down, claiming we shouldn't engage the Nine Tails directly. His excuse was that we could possibly control it with our Sharingan.]
[Later, he turned around and used that sa reasoning to fra us as the masterminds behind the attack.]
[You know the Uchiha, Lord Second. If we did sothing, we'd own up to it. But if we didn't? Don't even think about pinning it on us.]
[During the attack, every Uchiha who had awakened their Sharingan was with , none of us were on that battlefield and only soone with a Mangekyou Sharingan could control the Nine Tails.]
[Besides, what would I gain from attacking Minato? We were friends.]
[Just like that, we had no idea what was happening out there.]
[And just like that, the Uchiha Clan was blad for attacking Minato and Kushina, for unleashing the Nine Tails.]
[Just like that, the villagers hated us even more.]
[And just like that.... the Uchiha Clan was wiped out. You all know the rest.]
[Senju Tobirama: So you're telling ... Danzo and his n never even went to the battlefield? Instead, they stopped the Uchiha from helping?]
[Uchiha Fugaku: That's right. Your brilliant student planned the whole damn thing.]
[Senju Hashirama: Hold on. Even if Root and the Uchiha weren't there, what about the Anbu? The Hyuga? The Ino-Shika-Cho? Are you telling Minato fought alone? Minato! Can you explain what happened?]
[Namikaze Minato: What's the point? It's all over now... sigh.]
[Hyuga Hizashi: Wait, I can tell you! My brother and I led our Hyuga clansn to help. Minato and Kushina were our peers. We couldn't just sit back and do nothing. Of course, compared to them, we weren't much, but that's beside the point.]
[Anyway, our Gentle Fist is practically useless against a tailed beast. I still rember that overwhelming sense of powerlessness when I faced the Nine Tails.]
[But back then, I was also confused. Where were the Uchiha? Danzo and his n were nowhere in sight. Lord Third and the Anbu could only slow the Nine Tails down, and the Ino-Shika-Cho leaders played their part too.]
[Senju Tobirama: ...]
