Mob without system in Naruto world

Chapter 26: Turmoil in Konoha

Time passed.

Because Eiji defeated Apple-Juice Lover, the morale of the Super-Duper-Apple-Farm Gang was at the lowest and their strength fell drastically.

This created a power vacuum, which the other Heavenly Kings took advantage other.

They won a huge chunk of the territory belonging to the Super-Duper-Apple-Farm Gang, and also many of the subordinate gangs under them deserted to the other kings.

You may wonder how those idiotic delinquents could muster enough brain cells to come up with such a strategy.

Well, it was mostly Dirty Baddie's idea, who is infamous for using underhanded tactics.

So when he started doing it, the other two kings just imitated him.

Anyway in short: they were too busy to deal with Eiji right now, which meant it was a rather peaceful time period for Eiji.

But life is truly fickle, while someone wins the lottery, at the same time someone else loses all his belongings in a flood.

Something big happened in Konoha last night.

Eiji was currently eating his breakfast with his parents.

"Eiji, be careful on your way to the academy today..."

"Hmm, what's wrong? Also, why does Dad look like he hasn't slept at all?"

"It's a bit gruesome for a child to know...but you will probably hear it somewhere anyway...the whole Uchiha clan was wiped out tonight..."

"What?"

Eiji was surprised.

Even though he knows it would happen, it came too suddenly.

'Well, I guess only the ones involved would have seen some changes before it happened...'

He then remembered how he played in the past with the thoughts of telling someone that it will happen.

'No way I would do that...the instant I had told someone, I would be found the next day with a kunai from a Root member in my neck. And this would be only the lucky outcome. It would be more likely that Danzo would order to kill my whole family and probably even Tenten as well just to be sure...'

"Your father was there in the early morning to help to clean up. Darling, I think you should get some sleep..."

"After seeing all this blood and the bodies I don't think I will be able to sleep for an entire month..."

"Hey Eiji, did you hear what happened?" - asked Tenten while they were walking to the academy.

"Yeah."

"I heard there is a survivor though, he is the one in your class."

"Yeah."

"Can you say something else than yeah and tell me your thoughts on it?"

"I mean what can I say there? Much of the information isn't told to the public and everyone who has the privilege of having an actual brain can see that there is something fishy going on...so I would rather not talk about it because I don't want to randomly disappear..."

"Uhh, now you are making me feel scared..."

When I came to the academy, there was only one topic.

The topic surely wasn't which special flavor Choji's potato chips had today.

Anyway, Sasuke isn't here right now.

He is probably still in the hospital or something.

The atmosphere in the classroom is really weird.

No one wants to make a joke, everyone has a stern expression.

Even Naruto can read the atmosphere and is docile today.

Though there were some brain-dead girls, who had the glorious idea of visiting Sasuke to try to "heal his heart".

Fortunately, there were some considerate girls who flamed the hell out of them for having this idiotic idea.

It really feels weird though: I knew it would happen and when watching the anime I always thought how emo Sasuke was...but now he is a real person, not just a character, and I really feel bad for him...

I still won't tell him the truth about Itachi and such...sorry but my safety is at risk.

Also, there are now more shinobis patrolling in the village...I mean, isn't it a bit too late for that now?

But yeah...I remember how I walked a few times through the Uchicha's civilian part district and there were many friendly people there.

I should never forget that the people in this world are living beings, all with their own emotions, hopes, family, and friends - not just some characters I am looking at in a show.

But unfortunately, I'm not a god or anything who can save everyone.

I'm just a normal guy who is struggling to survive himself...

It surely is weird and surreal writing about the Super-Duper-Apple-Farm Gang and the Uchiha massacre in the same chapter, but it has a certain forbidden charm hehehehe
