Naruto : Reincarnated as Itachi Uchiha—Rise of the Uchiha Nation Chapter 111: 108) Becoming Brainless Villain

"If it were so simple, then it wouldn't be forbidden, right? The artifact asks for the souls of your loved ones or those close to you or your purpose. In Konoha, Hiruzen was closest to the Senju Clan after the Sarutobi Clan, so he sacrificed the Senju.

A year ago, seeing the lack of successors and Konoha's increasingly desperate situation, Hiruzen ca to . I then passed that artifact to the Uchiha successor, and finally the Uchiha were exterminated. That Uchiha gained imnse strength and is now protecting Konoha from outside threats.

I want to choose you now. Worry not, you do not have to sacrifice the Inuzuka Clan. You can't gain that strength by sacrificing a small clan.

Sacrifice the mbers of the Sarutobi and Shimura Clans. But I can't make it too easy. Strength gained too easily leads to disaster and you won't be able to control it as well. Only you know about this matter—not even Hiruzen and the others. It's your test. In the next few years, sacrifice them through your strength or wit and beco strong. Can you do it?"

Hearing that he would not have to sacrifice his own clan, Kiba sighed in relief. But hearing that he still had to sacrifice Hokage-sama's clan, Kiba beca conflicted.

"Kiba, rember. Hiruzen could do it. As soone with the ntality of a Hokage, you must overco this too."

'Hokage-sama did it too. Hokage-sama did it too. Hokage-sama did it too. Hokage-sama did it too.....'

"Can I do it?" Even after trying to hypnotize himself, Kiba couldn't find confidence.

"Kiba, you can't trust yourself, but you must trust . I believe in you, so you must believe in yourself too.... Think of your mother, father, brother, sister, friends, family, and Konoha.... If you can't make a decision today, they might have to go to war against enemies far stronger than Konoha can bear...."

"But... aren't those Sarutobi and Shimura Clan mbers innocent?"

"Foolish, you shouldn't feel guilty for them. Since they were born into the Sarutobi Clan and Shimura Clan, the top families of Konoha, and gained their benefits, then they must also bear it's responsibilities and must give their lives for Konoha. Hiruzen understood it and took the lives of all the Senju, you should also understand this truth. They are sacrificing their lives for Konoha.... Rember, everything is for Konoha!!!"

"Everything is for Konoha?"

"Yes, just like in war, thousands of families are destroyed. Aren't they innocent? Just because an enemy attacks, they have to lose their lives. But if, with the sacrifice of the Senju, Uchiha, or Sarutobi Clan, the entirety of Konoha can remain prosperous, then what's wrong with that?

Isn't the Will of Fire about sacrifice??? What does Hokage an? Ho ans fire and Kage ans shadow. The fire is the sacrifice of all the people of Konoha, and the shadow it casts... their will, their dream, their wishes and everything they leave behind is Hokage. Since you are capable of sacrificing yourself for Konoha, then they are as well."

"Everything... is... for... Konoha? Everything... is for Konoha. Everything is for Konoha!!!"

{ This line....it's a masterpiece. First ti is confusion, second ti is acceptance confusion and finally third ti it's total acceptance. I don't know if it's as good as I think but I am very satisfied with this line. }

"I... I can.... No, I must do it."

"Good. Here is the artifact, the Box of Gluttony. After you kill soone, open the lid and wait for one hour. After that, one blue and one red pill will erge. You eat the blue pill and let your companion eat the red pill." As Itachi said this, he handed a completely black box with an eye pattern on top to Kiba.

"In addition, take this as a safety asure. This is called a Haki Knot. I have stored the current limit of my power in it. When you untie it, a gravitational domain will form around you for several tens of seconds. During this ti, even a Kage-level ninja won't be able to stand up. There are three knots, so you have three trump cards."

With that, Itachi handed three ropes with knots to Kiba.

"Haki Knots?" It was the first ti Kiba had heard of sothing so magical.

"Yes. Overseas, there is a pirate called Shanks. After the death of his powerful captain, he used his Haki Knots to beco one of the strongest in the world. Unfortunately, with my current limited power, I can only give three to you."

"Hokage-sama!!!"

Seeing the regret in Hashirama's eyes, Kiba was touched. Although Hashirama-sama had given him a difficult task, he had also tried to give him everything. And wasn't it his dream to beco Hokage, just like Hokage-sama said...even before becoming Hokage one must makes sacrifices.

"Finally, this is called an Invisibility Cloak. With this, even Jonin can't sense your presence, though Kage-level ninjas might detect you. With this, you can beco stronger quietly even if you are weak now. This is all the help I can provide. Kiba, I.... I apologize that I have to give such a burden to yo—"

"Hokage-sama, it's my honor that you chose . I will definitely lead Konoha to the heights you took it to. Just give your blessings."

"You always have my blessing. Though this might be the last ti we et. My energy has been completely drained. It's just that.... I didn't have a disciple before my deat—"

"Master," the intelligent Kiba imdiately said, his eyes turning red.

"Good, good, good. Kiba, best of luck." As Hashirama said this, he slowly dissipated into white particles, ultimately rging with the world.

Kiba, seeing this, tried to control his tears. Although he had only t Hashirama for a few minutes, he felt the love of his master.

A few ters away, Itachi watched the emotional scene with satisfaction. Now that he was Six Paths level, he no longer found satisfaction in playing with ants, so he upgraded the ga.

As for the things he gave Kiba, first was the Box of Gluttony. It simply converts the magical power of the soul and the Yang power of the body into pills capable of increasing the consur's strength and ntal power. But it isn't without side effects.

First, because of the influx of so much foreign energy, the consur becos infertile, but since Kiba doesn't get married in Boruto, that isn't really a side effect.

Second, the strength displayed is always a little lower than the actual strength. For example, Kage-level strength would display as Elite Jonin-level strength. Though this isn't really a side effect. Just increase your strength to Super Kage-level, and you will still display Kage-level strength.

{ Like level 100 will show the strength of level 80, level 120 shows the strength of level 100 }

As for the Haki Knots, they simply use the principle of Detonating Talismans with so inspiration from One Piece. As for the Invisibility Cloak, it just manipulates light and adds so Fūinjutsu seals.

With all these, another enemy of Konoha was created.

Even if Kiba can't destroy the Sarutobi or Shimura Clan, soone will.... because the Box of Gluttony can only work on those two bloodlines.

And he can watch a good show in the future when he returns.

"Sigh, I am becoming more and more evil. Looks like in the entire Ninja World, I can rank third after Kaguya and Isshiki Otsutsuki, though it's nothing to be proud of.

Though, am I now considered a proper brainless villain? Sending minions and weaklings to attack the protagonist's village with high level equipnts instead of crushing it when I can ? Will Naruto, in the future, after defeating Kiba, co to and give his infamous Talk-no-Jutsu, making realize my mistake?

Hehehe, I am looking forward to it."

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Hello everyone,

So earlier today, I was scrolling through Instagram and ca across a reel featuring that scene where Kiba boldly declares that he wants to beco Hokage. Naturally, I ended up reading the comnts, and honestly, many of them were hilarious, relatable, and downright funny.

But the funny thing is that the scene stuck in my mind for hours afterward. Little by little, different plot ideas started appearing, and eventually I found myself wondering: "Why not let Kiba beco Hokage?"

It's a pretty unique idea, and I feel like I might be one of the few people who would actually take that route. Of course, I could be completely wrong, but I thought it would be fun to explore.

At the sa ti, I didn't want Itachi to spend the next ten or twenty chapters babysitting Kiba while slowly guiding him toward that goal. So I decided to speed things up a bit by giving Kiba those weapons and opportunities.

And honestly, I think it fits Itachi's current character as well.

At this point in the story, Itachi has already reached a level where crushing most of his enemies is no longer particularly satisfying. When a single attack can solve almost every problem, things start becoming boring. He needs sothing more—sothing entertaining, sothing different. In a way, helping Kiba pursue such an absurd goal has beco a new ga for him, a source of amusent.

And now this part of the story is over.

As for the next chapter, Itachi will finally et Sasuke.

And trust , you are in for a massive plot twist.

Anyway, that's all from . I hope you enjoyed these chapters, and I'll see you in the next one.
