Uchiha Madara: "The strongest Hokage? Hashirama, what do you think?"
Senju Hashirama: "...ahem, I'm actually not that strong."
In the ninja world, all the older ninjas rolled their eyes.
First Hokage, are you speaking against your will?
Everyone in the ninja world had grown up listening to the legends of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara!
Senju Tobirama: "Monkey, are you saying you're... stronger than my brother?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "I wouldn't dare to compare with him! This is a misunderstanding! The person who wrote the textbook was careless. I'll have it corrected immediately!"
So embarrassing!
Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to hide his face and run away. He never expected that his boast in the ninja school textbook would be scrutinized by the senior Hokages!
Senju Tobirama: "I understand the need to bolster one's authority as Hokage, but don't use my brother's name to do it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "I'll make sure it gets changed!"
Onoki: "Setting aside the 'strongest Hokage' claim, Sarutobi, you really altered the history books of the ninja school. Tsk tsk."
Fourth Raikage: "It seems like the Third Hokage is really past his prime, relying on such measures to maintain his authority."
Orochimaru: "Should I be grateful? After all, the part about my defection was entirely erased."
Kakashi remained silent, feeling betrayed. His father's achievements had been greatly downplayed in the history books.
Senju Tobirama: "It's normal to remove dishonorable details from the village's records... But monkey, you seem to have too many of those."
In the Pure Land, Tobirama couldn't help but complain.
From the death of Konoha's White Fang, to Orochimaru's defection, to the Uchiha genocide everything was a big deal!
So many elite forces didn't die in battle but were instead ruined by internal conflicts!
Senju Tobirama: "Monkey, you're too old. It's time to select a Fifth Hokage."
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "You're right, teacher. I'm already considering the next Hokage."
Hiruzen wiped the sweat from his forehead, relieved that this ordeal had almost passed.

[Back at the ninja school...]
[Sasuke furrowed his brows, deep in thought.]
[He sensed that something wasn't adding up.]
[White Fang's death, Yellow Flash becoming the Fourth Hokage, the Nine Tails Rebellion, Orochimaru's defection, the Uchiha massacre...]
[There seems to be a thread connecting these events!]
[If I can trace this line, I might be closer to the truth!]
[No matter how much he thought, however, Sasuke couldn't figure it out.]
---
Orochimaru clapped his hands: "This version of Uchiha Sasuke is quite the genius. He's on the trail of the truth!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned: "Orochimaru, stop spouting nonsense!"
Orochimaru smirked: "Is it nonsense, sensei? You know it best."
Orochimaru sneered inwardly. His teacher had been Hokage for far too long and was blinded by power.
From White Fang's death to the Uchiha massacre, the underlying cause was Hiruzen's desire to keep control over Konoha.
Orochimaru once thought his plan to bring down Konoha would give his teacher a graceful exit.
But now, with this livestream revealing everything, there would be no grace left for Hiruzen.

[Sasuke spent the rest of the morning reading, but he couldn't crack the mystery. His thoughts were interrupted by a growling stomach.]
[Only then did he realize he hadn't brought a lunch.]
[Mom used to make it for me...]
[I was in such a rush this morning, I didn't even think about preparing one.]
[Nearby, Yamanaka Ino noticed Sasuke's predicament. Her eyes lit up, and she approached with her lunch box.]
Ino: "Sasuke-kun, you didn't bring a bento? Want to share mine?"
[At the same time, Haruno Sakura rushed over.]
Sakura: "Sasuke-kun, you can have mine! I made all your favorite foods~"
[Sakura was secretly thrilled.]
[All her careful observations of Sasuke's food preferences had finally paid off!]
---
Naruto: "Damn it! I've never had Sakura's homemade bento!"
Ino: "Sakura, you're way too calculating!"
Sakura: "...It's called being prepared for opportunity!"
Inside, Sakura was screaming in embarrassment.
Why is this livestream showing this!?
Now I look like a total simp!

[Ding!]
[A quiz event has started.]
[Question: How will Uchiha Sasuke respond to the invitations from Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino?]
A: Women will only slow me down. Ignore them.
B: I'm a lonely avenger. Scold them coldly and send them away.
C: Accept their offer and thank them.
D: Accept their offer and try to establish a harmonious relationship, with the goal of reviving the Uchiha clan together.
Jiraiya: "Is this 'harmonious relationship' what I think it is?"
Hatake Kakashi: "I believe it's about rebuilding the Uchiha clan. How else can it be rebuilt?"
Ebisu: "There's only one answer: marry wives, take concubines, and have lots of children!"
Terumi Mei: "Hehe, men are all the same!"
Uchiha Sasuke: "What are you guys talking about?!"
Sasuke blushed furiously.
Marrying wives and taking concubines? I've never thought about such things!
Since the Uchiha massacre, his only goal was to gain power and avenge his clan by defeating Uchiha Itachi. As for romance or girls? What good would that do?
Could they improve his aim with kunai or make his jutsu more powerful?
Onoki: "Still too young to understand."
Fourth Raikage: "Indeed, with only one Uchiha left in Konoha, the most urgent thing is to pass on the bloodline. The more heirs, the better."
Uchiha Fugaku: "I agree! I choose D!"
Sasuke was stunned.
Father? Why would you choose something so outrageous?
Impossible. Even if it were another world, with the weight of vengeance on his shoulders, Sasuke couldn't imagine wasting time flirting with girls.
Sasuke: "I choose A!"
That was the option he thought aligned best with his personality.
Hatake Kakashi: "I believe C is more likely. I choose C."
Meanwhile, at the base of the Root organization...
Danzo was growing anxious. If this live broadcast was truly distributing powerful rewards, he couldn't afford to miss out.
Never mind. It was worth a try.
"I choose B!" Danzo declared resolutely.
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Danzo?"
Danzo sneered inwardly. If the reward from the live broadcast was valuable enough, it might even help him claim the Hokage position.

[The gold-framed screen resumed playing.]
[Sasuke looked at the eager Sakura and Ino, feeling conflicted.]
[He was alone now—his days filled with studying and training.]
[If he spent more time preparing lunch, it would only cut into his practice.]
[So... maybe it's not so bad to let them help?]
[They seem happy enough about it anyway...]
[With that thought, Sasuke smiled warmly at Sakura and Ino.]
Sasuke: "Then I'll leave it to you, Sakura, Ino."
[Both girls were shocked.]
[In the nearly year they'd spent at the ninja academy, they'd both pursued Sasuke relentlessly, but this was the first time they'd seen him smile at them so warmly, too!]
[For a moment, they were too stunned to respond.]
[Afterward, they each shared their lunch with Sasuke, eating together.]
[Once they finished, Sasuke thanked them and hesitated.]
Sasuke: "Sakura, Ino... Can I trouble you again for lunch next time? You know about my family's situation..."
[Sakura's eyes lit up, and she responded quickly.]
Sakura: "No trouble at all! I'm happy to help, Sasuke-kun!"
Ino added: "Of course! But there's a small condition... I'd like Sasuke-kun to have lunch with me every day."
[Sasuke, slightly confused, agreed.]
[Why do they seem not only willing but almost eager?]
[It feels like I'm not the one benefiting here...]
---
Terumi Mei: "Haha! This little guy doesn't realize how to use his looks yet."
Uchiha Mikoto: "That's my Sasuke!"
Uzumaki Naruto: "Ugh! What's so special about Sasuke?!"
Rock Lee: "Sakura preparing lunch every day is such a blessing!"
Inuzuka Kiba: "It's just because of his looks! What's the big deal? I look good too!"
Aburame Shino: "Kiba, it's important to have a sense of self-awareness..."
Sakura and Ino glanced at each other, both smiling. Although they felt a bit like they were "voting in vain," being able to help Sasuke was a rare opportunity neither wanted to miss.
They wished they could travel to this alternate world and replace their counterparts!
Hatake Kakashi: "Well, it looks like the answer is obvious, and I guessed correctly."
---
[Ding!]
[The correct answer to the quiz is option C.]
[Congratulations to Hatake Kakashi for winning the reward: Uchiha Bloodline!]
A gentle energy flowed through Kakashi's body, concentrating around his Sharingan eye. For the first time in his life, Kakashi felt control over the Sharingan.
Could it... be turned off?
Kakashi instinctively covered his left eye, and with a thought, deactivated the Sharingan.
The constant drain of chakra... it's finally over!
With the burden of maintaining the Sharingan gone, his chakra reserves, once suppressed, returned to normal.
Kakashi felt lighter and stronger.
Danzo: "What the...!?"
Uchiha bloodline?!
Danzo gritted his teeth in envy. If he had received that power, he could have controlled all the Sharingan in his possession, including Shisui's Mangekyō.
Now, he remained forced to balance the power of his implanted Sharingan with the first Hokage's cells, stuck in a delicate, fragile state.
