After leaving the village, Atori and Sukunai headed to an area between Konoha and the Land of Sand. Sukunai told him: "We must not head to the Land of Sand. The Kazekage, Retto, knows Madara very well. If Madara asks for us, they will capture us and hand us over to him. It is better to stay between the two villages."
She added: "And remember, do not trust anyone, even me. In the ninja world, there is an illusion skill. A ninja can copy me to be just like me—in my movements, my speech, and my clothes. I will show you." Sukunai stopped and wove her hand signs. "Ninja Art: Transformation!" and she turned into Atori himself.
Atori Kai was terrified. "What is this? I still can't believe it. Am I in a dream? No, no, it's impossible!" Sukunai transformed back to herself and said: "I will teach you this later, but now we must rest. Let's go."
Meanwhile, in Konoha village, news reached Sukunai's father. "Sir, your children killed two of our men and fled outside the village." Naron was furious. "So they betrayed me..."
At that moment, Madara Uchiha appeared. Everyone trembled. In his iconic voice, he said: "Naron, haven't you started what I told you? Haven't you found the Kyuubi for me yet?"
Naron shook with fear. "Sir, I am sorry. My children betrayed me. I promise I will take care of it, punish them, and then I will find the Kyuubi for you."
Madara said to them all: "Take action, or I will take action myself, Naron. The Red Moon Organization must be on another level, or I will kill you all. As for your children, if I encounter them, I will kill them without hesitation." Madara disappeared, leaving a terrifying silence. Naron shouted: "Disperse into 3 teams! Team 1 searches for the Kyuubi. Team 2 supports them. Team 3 will track Atori and Sukunai. I will lead Team 3. Understood? Now, move!"
As the teams dispersed, Sukunai and Atori prepared to rest. Atori asked: "Is this my sword? Shiraton?"
Sukunai replied: "Yes, the sword that cuts everything. You won it after defeating an Uzumaki. It's legendary, and you learned sealing techniques from him."
Atori said jokingly while setting wire traps: "I guess I was strong in my glory days!"
Sukunai said: "Yes, before the cloning. I'm still thinking about that terrifying voice I heard in your thoughts."
Atori {Kai} felt a surge of excitement. "I will train and solve the mystery of the First Hokage's death. I'll find that voice for our final battle in the Valley. I promise, Sukunai, I will be as strong as your brother." Sukunai said with pride: "This is the brother I know." They lit a fire and began to talk.
Back in the village, Madara stood on the carved face of the First Hokage. He spoke to himself: "Hashirama... a day will come when I defeat you and your brother, Tobirama Senju. How can I not, when he is the one who killed my little brother Izuna?"
Suddenly, Hashirama appeared. "Look at our dream, Madara. Peace is everywhere."
Madara said coldly: "I wanted this before the death of my brother Izuna. To me, this peace has no taste."
Hashirama said: "He died a long time ago, everyone has moved on." Madara replied: "It's easy for you to say, because Tobirama is still with you." Suddenly, Tobirama appeared: "Brother, I need to talk to you." Madara's face filled with rage as he stared at Tobirama. Hashirama quickly said: "Come on, let's go."
Meanwhile, Team 1 of the Red Moon Organization—7 men led by Nozi—were jumping through the trees. Nozi told them the truth: "The real goal of this organization is to kill the Senju clan and destroy Konoha. Madara wants to use the Demon Fox to defeat Hashirama."
The members were shocked: "We didn't know this! They told us the Red Moon was to protect the village."
Nozi shouted: "Move! Lord Madara's orders must be executed!"
As they left, Team 2 (10 men led by Garo) followed to provide support and secure the path.
Finally, Team 3 led by Naron moved at high speed. He thought: "Sukunai, Atori... you betrayed me. I will kill you, capture the Kyuubi, and build a village ruled only by the Uchiha." Naron activated his Sharingan and shouted: "Move! If you encounter my children, kill them. We are close!"
Back in the village, Hashirama went to the Hokage's office. "Tobirama, what's the matter? If it's about Madara, leave it. He's my friend. We replaced bloodshed with peace."
Tobirama interrupted: "Brother, stop and listen! I have a spy from the Uchiha named Rairin Uchiha, father of the young Kagami Uchiha. He brings me news of an organization Madara is building."
Hashirama cut him off: "Stop! This isn't true. I know Madara. Do not come between me and my friend again."
Tobirama countered: "Brother, you are a naive Hokage. I am telling you the truth!"
Hashirama walked out, leaving his brother alone. Tobirama remained, thinking: "I am not the Hokage now, so I cannot act directly. I must gather information and wait until my brother sees it with his own eyes. I want him to know... the Uchiha are not to be trusted."
.. The scene shifts to Atori and Sukunai.
"Tomorrow, Atori, I will start your training. First, we will focus on Chakra, then hand signs and how to activate the Sharingan. Day by day, I will teach you. But first, let me introduce you to the most important skills of any Uchiha ninja:
First: Genjutsu. It is the art of controlling the opponent's mind, making your enemy see things that don't exist, living inside a vivid illusion as if it were reality. A single glance is enough from our eyes. If the opponent is an Uchiha, the advantage goes to the one with enough experience and knowledge.
Second: Ninjutsu. Especially Katon (Fire Style). This is the Uchiha's fire; it's not just a technique, but a power radiating from within that turns into a devastating flame, consuming everything in its path.
Third: Dojutsu."
She looked directly at him and activated her Sharingan. "This is not just an eye; it is a tool to read thoughts and enemy movements. It allows you to predict their moves and always keeps you one step ahead. If you master these three, you will obtain 30% of this body's power. After that, you will learn on your own and unlock your latent potential. You will learn all of this tomorrow, because in the end, you must fight. I feel a battle approaching... I can smell the scent of death."
In Chapter 7, the epic saga unfolds:
The Race: Who will reach the Kyuubi first?
The Hunters: Will Naron's team find the fugitives before the training is complete?
The Shadow War: Will Tobirama convince his brother of the truth, or will Madara's plan proceed in darkness?
The Training: Can Atori master the Sharingan and the "Shiraton" sword before the "Scent of Death" arrives?
All this and more in Chapter 7... Thank you for reading
