Naruto Paradise: An Evil Uchiha's Rise-Chapter 8: Hiruzen Gets Haunted (But It’s Just a Really Mean Prank)

"Sarutobi Hiruzen... open your eyes."

Huh?

Sarutobi Hiruzen finished arranging the Forbidden Technique scrolls and scolded his rebellious son, who kept odd hours, before going to bed and falling asleep.

He never expected to have this in his dream—

"Teacher?"

Before him was a burning bonfire, and sitting in front of the bonfire, bathed in the orange light, was a white-haired ninja who had influenced him the most—his Ninjutsu teacher, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

"Monkey, long time no see. How is Konoha?"

"I..."

What's going on? Why am I seeing my teacher?

Could it be that this... is the Pure Land where only the dead can go?

Am I dead?

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat up from the ground in front of the bonfire, a look of shock on his face.

Wait, maybe I'm not dead yet?

"Thanks to you, Konoha's development is still going strong."

Calming himself, Sarutobi Hiruzen stared intently at Senju Tobirama before answering.

Then he cautiously asked, "Teacher, where is this?"

"It's a dream, and it's also my Ninjutsu. If you want to die, you'll have to wait at least a few more months."

Senju Tobirama saw through Sarutobi Hiruzen's little thoughts at a glance.

"My Ninjutsu time is limited. I've come to you this time because..."

"So, I can dream of you because of your Ninjutsu?"

Teacher's Forbidden Technique is indeed miraculous.

Although he still had some doubts about this dream, Sarutobi Hiruzen believed it eighty percent after hearing that it was Senju Tobirama's Ninjutsu.

Moreover, the person in the dream was just like his former teacher, both in tone and attitude towards him.

However, if this dream is really Teacher Tobirama's Ninjutsu, then what he said earlier...

I only have a few months to live?

Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind raced.

"Enough nonsense. I won't pursue the matter of you and Danzo wiping out the Uchiha clan, but there's one thing that I can't let go of even after all these years."

"What is it, Teacher?"

He even knows about the Uchiha clan's extermination. Could it be that Teacher has been watching us even after death?

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became somewhat solemn.

"Unify the Ninja World!"

Senju Tobirama's words, uttering each word carefully, made Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart tremble.

"Unify the Ninja World?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen also had such ambitions, but his aspirations had been worn down over the years.

And Konoha doesn't have the strength to do that now...

"I expected that you and Danzo wouldn't have the ability to do this, so before I died, I used a Forbidden Technique to foresee some of the future, and I recorded those foreseen futures and buried them in Konoha."

Senju Tobirama's tone changed, and his speech became faster and faster, as if his Ninjutsu time was really running out.

"The location of the burial will automatically become known to you after you wake up. I hope you make good use of what I've left you, fulfill my wishes, and make Konoha stand above the heavens! Alright, you should leave. I hope we, teacher and student, don't meet too soon."

"Wait, Teacher!"

This is too absurd. A Forbidden Technique to foresee the future?

Teacher actually managed to do such a thing before his death?

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to ask more details, but with the disappearance of Senju Tobirama, everything before him turned into nothingness.

He himself woke up from his bed, lost in thought.

A dream?

Or is it real?

Sitting on the bed, Sarutobi Hiruzen stared blankly at his aged hands.

"That should be about right."

The one who impersonated Senju Tobirama to enter Sarutobi Hiruzen's dream was, of course, Uchiha Kage.

"Hopefully, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, those two old geezers, will put more effort into matters outside Konoha Village in the future."

Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't believe the dream, the "Future" book that he personally buried will definitely fool those two old geezers.

And if not, he can always come back and fool them again in the future.

However, using all two of his Bond Points only gave him this much dream time. This dream entry function has quite a few limitations.

But the operability in the dream was not bad, and his transformation wasn't seen through.

"As an evil Uchiha, one should incite chaos in the Ninja World."

Only when things are chaotic can he collect higher-quality ninja fragments to strengthen himself.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he can survive the turmoil in the Ninja World.

Now that he has stirred up some of Sarutobi Hiruzen's ambitions, he must quickly grow stronger.

"There are still two Action Points left. I should go to the Instance and try it out first."

Although clearing the Instance of the battle against Kaguya and the Sage of Six Paths is unlikely, even if he fails, he has the fragments of Naruto and Sasuke as a guarantee.

It's a win-win situation no matter what.

"Enter Instance!"

As long as he can restore his original Mangekyo Sharingan by absorbing ninja fragments, he will no longer have to worry about not having the power to protect himself.

"Lord Father."

*Pat pat*, tender white feet stepped on the clean wooden floor, the fair and rosy ankles particularly lovable.

Hinata returned home and changed into her training clothes, heading straight for her family's indoor dojo.

Inside the dojo, a dignified middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back in the center.

Hyuga Hiashi, the Hyuga Clan Head, and also Hinata's father.

"I heard you won against a member of the Uchiha clan today?"

"No, I..."

Hinata subconsciously touched her chest.

She didn't know whether she had won or lost today.

"Winning is winning, losing is losing. What's with all the stammering!"

Despite his stern expression, Hyuga Hiashi felt some tenderness towards his daughter.

His eldest daughter was exceptionally diligent in her training, but unfortunately, her talent was lacking, far inferior to Neji.

In addition to her shyness and somewhat weak nature...

She probably couldn't inherit the position of Clan Head.

But Hyuga Hiashi still wanted to give her a chance.

"Come, let me see how much you've improved recently."

"Yes."

Getting into position, Hinata channeled her Gentle Fist and charged towards her father.

----

"Older sister... are you alright?"

Not knowing how long had passed, Hinata, covered in injuries, woke up from her bed.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

And the little girl looking at her with a worried expression by the bedside was her younger sister, Hyuga Hanabi.

"Hanabi?"

*Ssss*—

The stinging pain on her body quickly reminded her of the memories of repeatedly attacking her father in the training dojo earlier, and being knocked away time and time again by his fierce Gentle Fist techniques.

In a daze, she seemed to still hear her father's scolding in her ears.

'I thought you had improved, but I didn't expect you to be even worse than before! Such weak Gentle Fist is not worthy of bearing the Hyuga Clan's name!'

I didn't expect that I still disappointed Father...

"What time is it?"

Shaking off the thoughts of her father in her mind, Hinata remembered that she had promised Hanabi yesterday that she would play with her after school today.

But now it was almost dark.

Enduring the aching body, the girl quickly got out of bed.

"Dinner will be ready soon. Older sister, why don't you rest for a while?"

Looking at the wounds on her older sister's hands, Hyuga Hanabi's face was full of concern.

"No need, I'm fine."

Hinata gently shook her head, then took her sister's hand.

"We promised to play with you today. Let's go to the courtyard."

"Okay!"

Since her older sister said she was fine, Hanabi finally showed a smile.

But—

Hanabi hadn't been happy for long when she discovered that her older sister, who had promised to play with her, had only been in the courtyard for a short time before she actually fell asleep on the wooden steps.

"Older sister..."
