Naruto: The dungeon I developed went viral throughout the entire ninja world.

Chapter 3: I'd trade my entire clan's lives for yours

"I want to see it, I have to see it."

Sasuke reached into his ninja tool pouch; there were coins, banknotes, and a few shuriken.

He dumped all of these things onto the table and then took a kunai from his leg wrappings.

"Is this enough?"

Sasuke stared at Roy.

Roy glanced at the items on the table. The system scanned them, but the valuation given was very low.

To Roy's surprise, the kunai was actually quite valuable; it was specially made. The Uchiha brat certainly received special treatment.

"Barely enough for one time."

Roy reached out and swept the things into the drawer.

"Lie down inside."

Sasuke, having learned from experience this time, climbed into the cold metal cabin without saying a word.

[Instance Loading: The Eve of Extermination - Secret Talks]

[Perspective locked on: Uchiha Itachi]

Heaviness was Sasuke's first feeling upon regaining consciousness.

He saw a gray ANBU vest with a red tattoo on his arm.

This isn't his body; it belongs to Itachi.

Sasuke could feel the exhaustion in this body, and there was a door in front of him.

Itachi pushed open the door.

It was a dimly lit office, and Sasuke saw four people in front of him.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sits behind his desk.

Danzo Shimura standing by the window.

Also sitting on the sofa were two advisors, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu.

The four most powerful people in Konoha are all here.

"Itachi, you've come."

Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pipe. The smoke swirled around him, obscuring the old man's expression.

Sasuke felt "himself" kneeling down on one knee.

"Lord Hokage."

The weasel's voice was calm.

Sasuke, however, could feel Itachi's heart pounding violently. It was a pain suppressed to the extreme.

"How is the situation?" Danzo asked.

"The clan meeting ended last night. Father has made his decision." Itachi lowered his head. "The rebellion will begin in ten days. They plan to raid the Anbu building, take control of the Hokage, and seize control of the village."

Sasuke's mind went blank.

The betrayal—it turns out Danzo was right; my father really was going to rebel.

"madness."

Danzo snorted coldly.

"The Uchiha clan has been blinded by arrogance. Do they think they can control the Nine-Tails and fight against the village just by using the Sharingan?"

"Once a civil war breaks out, neighboring countries will seize the opportunity to invade. Kumogakure and Iwagakure are both eyeing the border with predatory intent. At that time, Konoha will be destroyed, and the Land of Fire will suffer immense devastation."

Danzo walked up to Itachi.

"Itachi, you don't have much time left."

"We came up with two solutions."

"Either you side with the Uchiha and participate in the rebellion, we will deploy Root and Anbu to annihilate the entire Uchiha clan. Everyone, including you, will die bearing the crime of being a rogue ninja."

Danzo paused for a moment.

"Or, you can stand with Konoha and personally execute the entire Uchiha clan before the rebellion occurs."

Sasuke wanted to shout, "Are you kidding me?!"

Tell your brother to kill all your clansmen? Is that something a human being could say?

He desperately tried to control Itachi's body to stand up and fight back, or to draw the ninja sword from his back and slash at Danzo.

I can't move.

He was just a ghost parasitizing his brother's body.

Danzo's voice continued to come.

"If you choose the second option, we can consider it an internal purge of the Uchiha clan. Your younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke..."

"You can survive."

Sasuke was stunned.

All the surrounding sounds disappeared, leaving only this sentence echoing in my mind.

The condition is to spare Sasuke's life.

They would trade the lives of hundreds of Uchiha members for his life alone.

"Hiruzen!"

The Third Hokage, who had been silent all along, seemed to want to say something, but Danzo interrupted him.

"This is the only way. Hiruzen, do you want to watch the village be destroyed?"

The Third Hokage remained silent.

He picked up his pipe again and took a deep drag.

Sasuke looked at the usually kind old man. At that moment, he felt nothing but disgust.

"I see."

Itachi spoke.

"I accept the mission."

Sasuke felt like the sky had fallen.

Don't agree!

Brother! Don't agree to it!

I'm not afraid to die! I'd die with my mom and dad! Don't do that for me!

Sasuke roared wildly inside Itachi's body.

Nobody can hear you.

Itachi raised his head and looked at the four high-ranking officials in front of him.

"But I have one condition."

"Speak," Danzo said.

"Sasuke must live. And he mustn't know the truth." Itachi's eyes were empty. "I will bear all the blame, become a rogue ninja, and leave the village. Please... take good care of him."

"I promise you." The Third Hokage finally spoke, "As long as I am in power, no one will be able to touch Sasuke."

Thank you.

The sunlight was blinding as Itachi stood up and walked out of the Hokage Building.

Sasuke sensed Itachi's emotions at that moment—a love so deep it was almost suffocating.

For this love, Itachi is willing to turn himself into a demon, send his parents to hell, and bear the infamy for the rest of his life.

"Forgive me... Sasuke."

Itachi silently recited this in his mind.

[Warning: Player's mental state has exceeded the critical threshold.]

[Warning: Extreme emotional instability detected.]

[Force program to launch.]

The image is shattered.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!!"

A piercing scream shattered the tranquility of the small shop.

The hatch popped open.

Sasuke rolled out of there. He fell to the floor but didn't get up.

He curled up, his hands tightly clutching his head.

It's not physical pain, it's my heart bleeding.

He always thought his brother hated him and looked down on him for being weak.

Wrong, completely wrong.

To save his life, his brother sold himself to the devil.

The cold gaze and distant words were all meant to protect him.

But the real culprit...

Sasuke's once jet-black eyes were now bloodshot.

"Danzo..."

"Three generations..."

"consultant……"

These names were squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with deep-seated hatred.

These people drove Shisui to his death and forced his brother to kill his father and mother.

These people sit in their high-rise offices and decide the fate of the Uchiha clan with just a few words.

They are the real killers!

They are the darkness of Konoha!

"I'm going to kill them!"

Sasuke got up from the ground.

He staggered toward the door, clutching the kunai that Roy had just returned to him.

"I'm going to kill Danzo! I'm going to tell my father! I'm going to tell everyone!"

A hand was placed on his shoulder, rendering him unable to move.

"Calm down."

Roy's voice came from above.

"Let me go!" Sasuke struggled desperately, like a crazed little beast. "I have to save my brother! Only three days left! I have to kill that old bastard!"

Roy raised his hand and slapped Sasuke across the face.

The crisp sound startled Sasuke.

"Are you awake now?"

Roy withdrew his hand and pointed outside the door.

"What can you do if you go out now?"

"If you tell Fugaku, he will launch a rebellion ahead of schedule. As a result, the Uchiha clan will be wiped out by the combined forces of Root and Anbu, and you and your brother will die."

"You're going to kill Danzo? You can't even beat the Root ninjas around him. You'll be beheaded before you even see Danzo when you walk into the Root base."

Sasuke covered his face, not even opening his eyes.

Compared to a monster like Danzo, and the entire Konoha leadership, he was just an ant.

"What should we do then...?"

"Am I just supposed to watch my brother kill someone? Watch my parents die? Watch that old man live a smug life?"

"I'm not reconciled..."

"I'm not reconciled!"

Sasuke grabbed Roy's trouser leg.

"Boss... since you've shown me all this, you must have a way, right?"

Please.

"I'll give you anything you want, as long as it saves my brother, as long as it avenges him! I'll even give you my life!"

The arrogant young master of the Uchiha clan banged his head on the floor, drawing blood from his forehead.

Roy looked at the child at his feet.

Hatred is the best fuel, and the fire has already been lit.

"Save your life."

Roy crouched down.

"Violence won't solve anything, at least not right now."

"If you want to save your brother, if you want to save the Uchiha clan, there's only one way."

Sasuke raised his head, his eyes filled with hope.

"What method?"

"Flip the table."

Roy pointed to the task panel next to him.

"Danzo dared to do this because he did it in the name of Konoha."

"He portrayed himself as a guardian of light and defined the Uchiha as evil traitors."

"As long as this definition holds true, he is invincible."

Sasuke gritted his teeth, "That's a lie!"

"Yes, it's a lie. But the villagers don't know."

Roy stood up and walked to the window.

"If you want to win, you have to tear off this fig leaf."

"Let everyone see Danzo's true colors. Let everyone see the Third Hokage's hypocrisy. Let everyone see Itachi's sacrifice."

"When the truth came to light, Danzo dared not act. The Third Hokage, in order to maintain his image as Hokage, had no choice but to halt the plan to exterminate his clan."

Sasuke understood, but he was confused.

"How can I get everyone to see this? Should I shout it in the street? Nobody will believe me."

"No need to shout."

Roy patted the metal cockpit next to him.

Use this.

"You just experienced a single-player dungeon; I also have special modes."

Roy swiped his finger across the panel, bringing up a red option.

[Multiplayer Online Dungeon: Night of the Final Battle]

"The mechanics of this dungeon are quite unique. As long as the player's emotional fluctuations are strong enough, and the resulting chakra resonance is large enough..."

Roy turned his head and looked at Sasuke.

"The system will then trigger the dome projection."

"The footage from the instance will be projected directly onto the sky above Konoha Village. It's like showing a movie, allowing tens of thousands of villagers to watch it simultaneously."

Sasuke's eyes lit up, and the whole village watched the broadcast.

Show the villagers the scenes of Danzo forcing his brother and Shisui having his eyes gouged out!

At that time, Danzo will be a rat crossing the street!

"I'll do it!" Sasuke stood up, wiping the blood from his face. "I'm going into the dungeon right now!"

"no."

Roy shook his finger.

"Activating this mode requires a massive amount of chakra to maintain the projection. Your chakra isn't even enough to light a light bulb."

"You need a teammate."

"A teammate with an astonishing amount of chakra, like a monster."

Sasuke was stunned. A huge amount of chakra?

He searched his memory for people he knew.

Jonin? No, those people won't help him. Clan members? No, they'll be monitored.

Among people of the same age...who has the most chakra?

A silly grin suddenly popped into my mind—a prankster, hated by everyone.

It is said that a monster is sealed inside the bottom of the car.

Naruto Uzumaki.

"You figured it out?" Roy looked at Sasuke's expression.

"That loser..." Sasuke frowned. "He's weak; he can't even use the Shadow Clone Technique properly."

"He just doesn't know how to control it. In terms of chakra reserves, no one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village has more than him."

Roy walked back to the counter and sat down, dismissing the customer.

"Go."

"Bring him here and tell him you can make him a hero."

"As long as you two can cause enough trouble in the dungeon, I can help you..."

Roy lowered his voice.

"To overturn the sky above Konoha."
