ALL NOVEL Chapter 7: Chapter 6: The Death of the Second Hokage
The Hidden Leaf Village, once a symbol of unity, began to crack at its foundation. The death of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, marked the end of an era and the beginning of a storm that would change the course of history. The village's leadership was shaken, and the power struggles within the Uchiha clan became more pronounced. But for Ryuji Uchiha, the death of the Hokage marked the turning point in his life. His path, which had already veered dangerously close to darkness, was now fully consumed by the shadow of power.
After the Second Hokage's death, Ryuji found himself increasingly alienated from the village. He had already grown disillusioned with the political maneuvering within Konoha, the constant tension between the Uchiha clan and the Hokage, and the eventual betrayal of his own kin. The Sannin, whom he had once trained with as children, had now followed their own paths: Jiraiya in pursuit of knowledge, Tsunade with her medical skills, and Orochimaru, consumed by the thirst for immortality. Ryuji could no longer see a place for himself in a world built on such fragile alliances.
He had already unlocked the powers of the Mangekyo Sharingan, and his skills with the Thousand Demon Daggers were unrivalled. Yet, the deeper he delved into the mysteries of the Uchiha's bloodline, the more he felt the limits of his power. He wanted more. He wanted to transcend the chains of his past and unlock an unimaginable power. Thus, in a moment of clarity, he made the decision to abandon Konoha altogether.
As Ryuji walked away from the village that had once been his home, he did not look back. His departure was silent, a shadow slipping away in the dead of night, leaving behind only whispers of his name. The village would soon realize the loss of their most dangerous and promising shinobi.
