The two wall lamps on the wall emitted flickering light.
It looked like a basement, and the whole room seemed somewhat dim due to the insufficient lighting.
Around the room were rows of shelves, on which various experimental instruments and scrolls of unclear meaning were placed.
In the center of the room, a naked man lay on a large table.
Beside him, a man with snake-like eyes, wearing a Konohagakure green Jonin vest and a Konohagakure forehead protector, was holding a small knife and cutting at the man's stomach.
This scene was exactly like a man who, because of his lust for Uchiha Naraku's beauty, was finally…harvested by an unscrupulous doctor.
Naraku: ???
"In the blink of an eye, the test subjects are all dead again. Human life is indeed too fragile. To explore the ultimate mysteries of ninjutsu, my life seems too short," Orochimaru lamented.
This unscrupulous doctor, lamenting the brevity of life, was none other than Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konohagakure.
He sighed, setting down the scalpel stained with blood.
Wiping the blood from his hands, he turned and left his private laboratory.
"It's time to find some more test subjects."
Uchiha Naraku tossed and turned on her soft bed, unable to fall asleep.
After acquiring the ultimate life-saving skill, Teleportation, Naraku's thoughts began to stir.
Don't forget, she still hadn't even seen her summoning beast, the Ocean Young Dragon, even once.
Although it was a young dragon, the size of an Ocean Young Dragon was still considerable. Uchiha Naraku figured that even a baby dragon wouldn't be small.
At the very least, it should be able to fly a little girl like her around, right?
Naraku had always dreamed of riding the Ocean Young Dragon and soaring through the sky.
When she first obtained the young dragon, she hadn't acted on it because it was too dangerous to leave Konohagakure.
But now, things were different. With Teleportation, she finally had enough capital.
Naraku silently checked her stats. She wasn't planning on going far, so why not give it a try?
[Character Card: Uchiha Naraku] [Character Management - Not Activated]
[Character Attributes]
Chakra: 100 (Chunin)
Taijutsu: 52 (Chunin)

Genjutsu: 16 (Academy)

Currency: 20 points.
Although Uchiha Naraku wasn't very strong based on her attributes, she probably couldn't beat a Chunin without using skills or ninjutsu.
But her skills were still incredibly overpowered. Any ninja unfamiliar with Uchiha Naraku would likely suffer a significant loss against her.
Lying in bed, Naraku pondered. Although it was risky, when had anything in the world been completely safe?
Only four days remained until the ninja academy's opening. Yet, she still hadn't obtained the ultimate truancy tool: Shadow Clone.
Without Shadow Clone, her training time would be severely limited. In that case, she'd have even less time to leave Konohagakure and soar through the skies.
Naraku had exhausted all her efforts, and finally convinced herself.
If that was the case, what was she waiting for?
With that thought, Naraku threw off the covers, put on her clothes again, opened the door, and stepped back into the drizzle.
The Uchiha Clan Land was not bustling with people at night, but almost every household had lights on.
It seemed quite lively. As Uchiha Naraku walked along the street, listening to the laughter coming from the houses, she felt a little emotional.
Sacrificing an entire clan for the greater good of the village was indeed admirable, but sacrificing so many lives and destroying the happiness of so many families, was it really the right path?
Uchiha Naraku shook her head. Forget it, at her current level, she couldn't change anything.
Thinking of this, Naraku quickened her pace, quickly disappearing at the end of the street.
However, she overlooked a fact: the Uchiha Clan Land was constantly being monitored by a group of people. The name of this group was the Anbu.
Actually, one couldn't completely blame Naraku; after all, as an ordinary person, she really didn't have that many schemes.
In Itachi's words, sometimes she seemed a bit… spacey.
At this moment, on the rooftop of a building on the outskirts of the Uchiha Clan Land, four Anbu ninjas were watching her every move.
"Go back and report to Danzo-sama, 'A'—Uchiha Naraku left the clan land late at night and is moving towards the outside of the village. Her motives are unclear. Ding and I will follow her. This might be a good opportunity to get rid of her."
One of the ninjas, wearing a hawk-faced mask, quickly instructed one of the shorter Root ninjas.
"Yes, 'Ren', you must also be careful."
'A' wore a green cat-faced mask with a floral pattern and appeared to be quite young.
"Hahaha, don't worry. She's just a little girl, we can't possibly fail."
'Ren' was completely unconcerned. He was a genuine Konoha Special Jonin, after all. At least in his opinion, there was no way that two of them could encounter any unexpected issues when dealing with a seven-year-old girl.
It should be added that not all Anbu ninjas in Konohagakure were Jonin.
To be precise, there weren't many Jonin among them; most Anbu ninjas were selected from the ranks of Special Jonin.
For example, the popular Hayate Gekko from the original story was a member of the Anbu, and he was a Special Jonin.
Only those Anbu wearing white and yellow robes and hoods were definitely Jonin level.
After Ren finished speaking, the three Root ninjas blurred, instantly using Body Flicker Technique to leave the building.
The last remaining Root ninja continued to use his binoculars to monitor the Uchiha clan.
He didn't relax in the slightest.
This was a suspension bridge inside a building, which was also the headquarters of Root.
Danzo Shimura listened to the report from "Armor," a smile spreading across his face.
"Your judgment was very accurate. However, to be absolutely sure,"
"Take three more Root ninja to reinforce the operation. Ensure all traces are eradicated and the scene is made to look like rogue ninjas were involved. Now is not the time to openly clash with the Uchiha."
Danzo said with a smirk. Judging by his tone, eliminating Uchiha Naraku was his true desire, only held back by the consideration of the greater good.
Even if the Third Hokage disagreed, he would protect the village in his own way.
In his opinion, the Uchiha clan was an unstable element within Konohagakure.
"Yes, sir!"
Armor knelt on one knee, performed a salute, and then vanished from sight.
"With this, I can finally eliminate a potential threat. What a pity, she doesn't have the Sharingan yet, otherwise I could have taken her eyes too."
Not far from Konohagakure, Uchiha Naraku stopped her sprint in the vast forest.
Alright, this should be far enough. Anyway, Naraku herself was completely lost; she didn't even know how far away from the village she was now.
As long as she wasn't shot down from the sky by Konoha ninjas.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Naraku leaped nimbly from the tree.
Now, let me have a look, the feeling of soaring freely in the sky.
