Rebirth In The Naruto World - 6 Death of the Fourth Hokage

At the shelter, Ren was waiting anxiously for Itachi because he hadn’t shown up yet. Even though he knew Itachi would be safe as he was much stronger than him, he couldn’t help but still worry. In Ren’s eyes, Itachi wasn’t some character who was one of his favorites anymore, but his real brother ever since he came to this world, therefore he couldn’t help but continue to worry when he suddenly hears his name.

…

“Ren! You’re safe, I was so worried” Itachi said while panting with Sasuke in his arms, it was clear he had just arrived. Then he continued as he saw Izumi holding his brother’s short, “Who’s that?”

“I’m Izumi Uchiha, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for your brother saving me”.

Ren was a little surprised as Izumi didn’t show any signs of falling in love with Itachi.

…

A few hours later they were told the nine tails was suppressed at the cost of the fourth. Hearing this, everyone was filled with despair, but when the third Hokage stepped up and said he’d resume his position as Hokage temporarily, everyone was relieved, but still sad at the fourth’s death.

Izumi who was holding onto Ren’s shirt was gritting her teeth and started shaking at the mention of the nine tails.

Seeing this Ren suddenly, asked, “Are you okay, Izumi?”.

Hearing Ren trying to reassure her, she nodded shyly while a blush came to her cheeks.

“Oh yeah, since you’re an Uchiha how come I’ve never seen you?”. Although she was an Uchiha, Ren found it odd as he’s never seen her in the Uchiha clan.

“My father is an Uchiha, while my mother is a normal person thus the Uchiha clan doesn’t welcome us so we don’t live within the Uchiha clan’s town.”

Before Ren could respond the third Hokage suddenly said with a solemn tone, “I’d like you all to attend the funerals for all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to keep the village safe”, then he left.

…

It was the next morning, Ren and all of the Uchiha members were currently walking towards the graveyard to pay their respects to the dead who sacrificed themselves. Everyone was in a gloomy mood as the losses were countless and much too big a price. Of course, the nine tail’s incident would also negatively affect the Konohagakure’s position in the war along with the loss of Minato, the fourth Hokage. This could be considered one of the biggest setbacks for Konohagakure since Madara.

After everyone paid respects to the dead, the elders of Konoha called for a meeting with all the heads of the clans besides for the Uchiha.

With a tense mood, a man with dark hair with signs of greying and a cloth wrapped around his arms and eye stood up and said: “We have found traces of the Sharingan being used to control the Kyuubi.”

Hearing what the elder said, everyone was shocked and started turning furious as one man stood up and exclaimed, “So the Uchiha’s betrayed us?”.

“It’s not confirmed, but we will move them to a farther part of the village to take precautions.” the man with bandages said.

Obviously, the old man had quite some authority as the young man didn’t dare show any signs of disrespect to him, but he still couldn’t help but voice out his thoughts.

“It’s obviously the Uchiha! We should exterminate them right now Danzo-sama!”

Suddenly, the third Hokage, Hiruzen interrupted “It’s not confirmed yet! For now, we will move them to the outskirts of Konoha and keep a watch on them before we attempt anything.”
