Even though, Naruto say he is doing this for fulfilling Fox's desire to witness downfall of Uchiha clan, but a part of him, a detached observer from a past life, was undeniably curious to witness himself.
This was one of crucial moment in Konoha's history, and he wants observe or perceive it personally.
Besides, after this incident, the village would have nothing major happens until he graduates from ninja academy.
Evening descended, the sky darkening, and Naruto felt the subtle shift in the Anbu presence outside his apartment.
The moment last batch of anbu gone. Kurama's chakra surged through him, a warm, red tide coating around his body.
Bang!
Bang!
The burst of speed was startling; the new Anbu, arriving for their shift, crumpled to the ground before they even registered a blur.
Kurama had offered enough chakra to kill, but Naruto's strikes were precise, non-lethal. The red chakra receded as quickly as it had come.
"Let's go, brat," Kurama rumbled, impatience lacing his tone.
[2000 XP... distributed]
[2000 XP... distributed]
Naruto nodded, but a flicker of surprise made him glance at his System interface. A satisfied smile touched his lips.
(Host : Naruto Uzumaki)
(Chakra Capacity : Lower Chunin)
(XP : 17,750)
[Chakra Battery : Tail Beast Level (Yang Half Kurama)]
His XP had jumped significantly. "Two Chunin-level Anbu… 2000 XP each. Not bad."
"Weird," Naruto thought, a nagging feeling creeping in.
"Why would the village only send Chunin-level Anbu to guard their precious jinchuriki?" He voiced his suspicion to Kurama.
"Hey, Kurama, didn't you notice? These guards had much lower chakra levels than the ones who usually monitor me."
"I don't waste my time observing weaklings," Kurama scoffed.
Naruto shook his head, a sense of unease settling in. 'Maybe I'm overthinking it.'
——
Later at Night.
"You said you could conceal my chakra? Then do it." He spoke as he efficiently dragged the unconscious Anbu back inside his small apartment.
With Kurama's subtle concealment, Naruto moved towards the Uchiha clan compound with heightened caution. Even with his chakra masked, he preferred to be on the side of stealth.
As they approached within five hundred meters of the compound's perimeter, a formidable presence washed over them – dozens of Anbu, their chakra signatures undeniably Jonin-level.
"Whoa," Naruto thought, a knot of surprise tightening in his stomach.
"More than fifty Jonin-level Anbu surrounding the Uchiha compound? This can't be just routine monitoring."
Then the earlier thought resurfaced. 'The Anbu guarding me today… they were young, barely Chunin-level.'
A sense of urgency gripped him. "Kurama," he whispered, his voice strained, "it looks like the Uchiha Massacre is happening tonight. Not some distant future date."
Kurama was initially surprised. "Really? Then what are we waiting for, brat? Let's go inside and see the show!"
Naruto shook his head. "It's not that simple. Not only are there all those Jonin-level Anbu, but also… a mysterious one-eyed Uchiha."
He felt Kurama's sudden tension in his mind.
"The same one who took control of you last time you were free. Just before you sealed inside me by Minato. Oh, and he is one of 3 Uchiha that will remain after this Massacre."
Kurama's mental voice was sharp, demanding. "How do you know so much, brat?"
Naruto ignored his question. "I only intended to find out when it would happen. I figured we could plan to sneak in and watch. But with this level of security… we'll have to watch from the sidelines."
Kurama snorted, a sound of utter disdain. "What a waste. So, it's the village itself orchestrating this? Hah! The village built by Uchiha and Senju is now wiping out the Uchiha."
"Who said it was the village that taking direct action?" Naruto countered, a knowing glint in his eyes.
Kurama jolted. "Then who is it?"
"It's the elder son of the current Uchiha patriarch," Naruto revealed, his voice low. "And all these Anbu's are only here to ensure that no Uchiha left alive expect those two."
"Oh!, And he has awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan." added Naruto.
A wave of shock, quickly followed by a flicker of fear and anger, emanated from Kurama. "Mangekyo Sharingan…"
But Naruto continued, "He will kill all the Uchiha clan members… except his younger brother. He'll even kill those who aren't even shinobi, those who have not even awakened their Sharingan."
"Since only he and his brother will be left alive, we can probably assume that he won't spare the infants either. If he did, then village will take care of them."
A chilling laugh echoed in Naruto's mind. It was Kurama. "Good! Good! The Uchiha wiping out the Uchiha! Even better!"
