Batman in Konoha. Chapter 40. Orochimaru’s revenge

The morning in Konoha was clear and cool. A group of shinobi had gathered outside the police headquarters, dressed in uniform—black vests bearing the Uchiha crest on their backs, stern faces, rigid posture. Each of them had served under Fugaku for years, and each understood the value of discipline.

But today, behind their habitual mask of indifference, something else crept through—surprise, restrained unease.

Fugaku stood on the low stone steps before the building. The wind tu...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 39

A week had passed since Orochimaru fled the village, leaving behind blood and pain.

This time, Hiruzen didn’t try to hide the truth. He addressed the people himself, without ANBU cover, and with grim frankness declared: Orochimaru, his former student, was responsible for the disappearance of children and for conducting secret experiments within the borders of Konoha. He officially branded him a missing-nin and placed a high bounty on his capture — dead or alive.

But no reward ...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 38

Fugaku Uchiha entered the Konoha Police building like a starving shark—a predator that had smelled blood. The air seemed to thicken around him, and the on-duty officers instinctively stepped aside. They knew what he was like when he was angry. And right now, he wasn’t just angry. He was seething.

"All files on the child abductions—my office," he said, voice low, stride unbroken. "Immediately."

"Yes, Captain!" Yashiro snapped to attention, nearly knocking over a stack of fold...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 37

Fugaku walked down the road toward Konoha, flanked by his elder sons.

Behind them, the carriage was left in the care of a local blacksmith—battered and twisted after the grueling journey, it needed serious repairs. The horses, exhausted and lathered with sweat, had been taken to the stables. They needed a long rest; after the brutal pace and the steroid injection, they could barely stand.

"Next time, let's take bats instead of horses," Shisui muttered. "Flying’s way faster." 2025-07-02 15:19:18 +0000 UTC View Post

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 36

The relocation of Shadowland was in full swing. High beneath the stone cavern's arched ceiling, bats swooped through the air with rustling wings and clicking echoes. Some folded their wings to sort scrolls, artifacts, and personal relics into simple wooden crates. Others were tearing down old dwellings—not out of rage, but with calculated purpose: anything that couldn’t be moved had to be erased, leaving nothing behind for the enemy.

On the stone floor, dimly lit by softly glowing c...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 35. Blood for Wings

Fugaku, Shisui, and Itachi moved deeper into the cave, step by step, guided by silent bat sentinels whose leathery wings sliced through the damp underground air without a sound. The stone vaults sloped lower, the corridors narrowed, and the darkness thickened.

At last, the path came to an end. The shadows ahead began to recede — a soft glow radiated from crystals embedded in the ceiling and walls of a subterranean hall. The light was dim, but enough to reveal the scale of what lay hid...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 34

Three days had passed since their victory over Kakuzu.

The signs of battle were slowly fading. The factory that had become the battlefield now breathed with life once again: shattered walls had been rebuilt, machinery tuned and calibrated, and the sound of working equipment once more filled the area. Workers returned to their stations as if nothing had happened, but the fear left behind didn’t vanish so easily. For a long time, people would whisper about the giant bat they had seen in...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 33. Fugaku Vs Kakuzu

Fugaku stormed onto the grounds of the Uchiha Enterprises factory. His Sharingan was already ablaze, absorbing every detail of the crime scene.

The yard looked like a warzone. The ground was torn open with deep craters, as if not one but a series of bombs had been dropped. Murky water sloshed through the broken asphalt, steam rising from it — the moisture had been boiled, vaporized by fire-style jutsu. The brick walls were scorched, melted in places, and elsewhere bubbled and warped l...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 32. Jiongu

The morning after their arrival in the Land of Waves, the sun had only just begun to rise above the ocean's surface when a letter was found at the front door of the Uchiha villa. A thick envelope, unsealed, with no return address—simply tucked neatly beneath the welcome mat.

Fugaku sat in his study, behind a large desk covered in maps, blueprints, and scattered notes.

With a swift, deliberate motion, he tore the envelope open.

"The criminal syndicate knew we arrived yester...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 31. The First Rule of Business

The carriage swayed gently over the uneven road. Only the creak of the wheels and the snorting of the horses reminded them they were still in motion. Suddenly, there was a short knock.

“We’ve arrived,” Fugaku said calmly, rapping his knuckles lightly against the back wall.

Shisui and Itachi reacted instantly. Both emerged from the soft interior of the carriage and climbed forward, onto the cold, wind-blown bench beside Fugaku. The damp sea air hit their faces, heavy with the...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 30. Money Is Power Too

Dinner at the Uchiha household unfolded, as always, in a warm, almost ceremonial atmosphere. The large table in the center of the living room was covered with dishes: rice, stewed fish, vegetables in sauce, miso soup, and of course, a tray of Sasuke’s favorite cherry syrup dango—the treat he’d been waiting for all day. The whole family was present—a rare moment when even the older sons were home at the same time and not out on missions.

Fugaku set down his chopsticks, dabbed his...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 29. The Mangekyō Sharingan

The next day, exactly at noon, a small glass jar stood on Fugaku’s desk. It was filled with a thick, transparent liquid, and inside, like an ancient trophy, Obito’s Sharingan slowly rotated. Red, with three tomoe, it seemed to stare directly at Fugaku — silently, reproachfully.

Kakashi had left right after handing over the clan's belongings. Now he had two healthy eyes, a perfectly symmetrical face — even the old scar from brow to cheekbone had been erased by skilled surgeons. F...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 28. Scrolls and scalpels

"Fish with rice today," Mikoto said calmly as she set the plates on the table. "Again."

Fugaku was already seated, eyeing the neatly arranged slices of fish with a faint trace of approval in his gaze. Not because of the food — but because of who had prepared it. Not Mikoto. His eldest son.

Itachi had taken a serious interest in medicine. And, in typical Itachi fashion, he pursued it with obsessive precision. Hospital practice wasn’t enough for him. Every morning, he walked to ...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 27

"Explain," Fugaku said. "Why isn’t my son at the exam?"

"That’s exactly what we’re trying to figure out," Hiruzen replied, exhaling a thick cloud of smoke. "Hotai returned only fifteen minutes ago. There’s a scandal brewing in Suna. I decided it would be unacceptable to interrogate your son without you present. This could escalate into an international incident."

Fugaku didn’t thank him—and Hiruzen didn’t expect him to. But there was a brief nod of acknowledgment. An...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 26

Fugaku was sitting in the living room, settled into his favorite armchair, reading an encyclopedia on rare summoning techniques. His fingers lazily turned the pages, his gaze focused on the lines of text—until sharp, high-pitched children's voices rang out from outside the window. He looked up from the book—someone was arguing loudly right by the porch.

"Naruto again," Fugaku thought with a trace of irritation, setting the book down on the armrest.

Two boys stood in the front ...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 25. An Investment in Childhood

"From where I'm sitting, you seem to be doing just fine making money without us," Shikaku Nara remarked lazily, settling into his chair like it was the end of a long meeting, not the beginning of an important conversation. "Last I checked, you’re the richest man in the Land of Fire."

Fugaku allowed himself a brief, cold smirk—irony in his voice as sharp as a blade pressed to the throat.

"And do you think that’s enough for me? Without ambition, I wouldn’t be where I am toda...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 24. Cake and Negotiations

Fugaku sat on the living room couch, sorting through the day's fresh mail. His attention was fixed on the bank statements.

"Thank you, Mikoto," he said without looking up, as his wife set a steaming cup of green tea in front of him.

Mikoto nodded, but before she could return to the kitchen, the front door slammed open with a bang. Two boys tumbled into the room—filthy but beaming with joy. Itachi and Sasuke. Their hair was tousled, clothes smeared with brown earth and dried gras...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 23. The Secret of Lightning

A few days had passed since the conversation with the Hokage in the park.

Shisui had just returned from a long ANBU mission. Most likely, Hiruzen had sent him to one of the neighboring countries to gather intelligence on Kumo’s recent affairs.

Naturally, he couldn’t hold back his questions. Eyes sparkling, hands gesturing animatedly, his excitement almost boyish:

“How did you pull it off?” he burst out the moment he stepped through the door.

Fugaku didn’t eve...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 22. A Job You Never Rest From

Just before stepping outside, Fugaku paused by the wardrobe and stood still for a few moments. His fingers brushed against the fabric of his police captain’s uniform. Not long ago, he wouldn’t leave the house without it—his uniform was a mark of authority, a reminder of who he was and what it meant to speak to him.

But things had changed.

After the duel with the Raikage—ending in the humiliating defeat of the Cloud’s leader—Fugaku’s face had become known even in the ...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 21. Fugaku Vs Raikage

The events of the following days unfolded exactly as Fugaku had predicted.

The Raikage screamed himself hoarse on the podiums of international summits, waving the obituary of a “respected diplomat,” swearing on Konoha’s treachery, and demanding sanctions. He urged smaller nations to turn their backs on the Land of Fire, isolate Konoha, boycott its trade, and terminate all military agreements.

Meanwhile, Hiruzen did what he had always done best. He retreated. Looked away. Gav...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 20. The Price of Peace

Fugaku was training with a weighted barbell in his private gym, a space isolated from noise and prying eyes. The room pulsed with a steady rhythm — heavy breathing, the creak of metal, and the thud of plates hitting the floor.

Sweat streamed down his bare shoulders, thick drops tracing the curves of tense biceps. Each set was punctuated by a sharp exhale and a low, echoing crash — weight plates, inscribed with fuin seals for added heaviness, slammed down with force enough to ...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 19. Evil Eye

After the grand parade, which marked the end of the official part of the celebration, the crowd slowly began to scatter through the streets of Konoha.

Booths with lotteries and sweets, stalls with toys and trinkets, lantern lights strung overhead — it all turned the village into a fairytale for one night.

At the edge of the central square, away from the main flow of people, Shisui stood by a wooden bench, holding a stack of paper cranes in his hands. He sent them i...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 18. Union Day

This day went down in history: after three devastating wars that claimed thousands of lives and left indelible scars across the continent, Konoha and Kumo finally signed an official alliance.

Not a truce.

Not a temporary agreement.

An alliance.

For the village, it was the event of the century—and the Third Hokage wasted no time turning it into a grand celebration.

He declared a holiday: a day off, a parade, street fairs, performers, kites, flags, acrobat...

A typical morning in the Uchiha household usually began in silence—accompanied by the clinking of dishes and the smell of steamed rice—but this time, the atmosphere shifted almost instantly, as if a cheerful gust of wind had blown into the house. Shisui had returned from a prolonged mission and, as always, made sure no one could miss it.

He burst onto the veranda without knocking, as if he’d never left. In one swift motion, he kicked off his sandals a...

Few in Konoha were surprised that the head of the Uchiha clan was known for his passion for science. Fugaku had never been just a warrior. There was always a sharp intellect behind his gaze, and even during his Academy years, scrolls with jutsu techniques coexisted peacefully in his hands with books on poison crafting and trap setting. He certainly had a talent for combat. But he never neglected preparation, analysis, and research.

The warm sun bathed the Academy courtyard, where families of the graduates had already gathered—dressed up, lively, filled with anticipation and pride. Flowers, ribbons, excited voices—all of it created a festive atmosphere worthy of the future shinobi.

Among the crowd stood Fugaku, Shisui, and Mikoto with Sasuke in her arms. They kept slightly apart—not out of avoidance, but simply because they were in a different league. The Uchiha always drew atten...

Fugaku made a powerful move in his invisible game with an unknown enemy: he exposed all the hidden spies. The effect was staggering. After the introduction of the potion, now mandatory for every Konoha shinobi, fifteen more metamorphs were uncovered. There were no longer any unnoticed spies left in the village.

Now, the potion was taken daily. No exceptions. No leniency. It had become as much a part of shinobi life as breakfast or morning weapon checks.

Several months had passed since that night when the Nine-Tails’ roar shook Konoha. Autumn had left behind crimson leaves, and winter arrived, bringing with it a crisp frost. The cold bit at fingers, and the air was laced with the smoke of hot rice and wood-burning stoves.

Fugaku Uchiha did not believe in peace. He knew the enemy behind that attack would show himself again. The one who had commanded the Nine-Tails hadn’t vanished—he was merely waiting....

Fugaku stood in the dim light of his study, surrounded by the soft creak of wood, the scent of ink, and the rustle of paper. On the desk before him, a travel backpack was being carefully packed—moderately heavy, moderately bulky, meant for a short but intense journey. The estimated burial site of Obito was two days away, assuming no stops.

He packed methodically: a few protein bars with a neutral taste, tightly sealed water flasks, a compact sleeping bag....

The main square of Konoha, bathed in sunlight, buzzed with voices—as if the village itself were breathing, speaking, waiting.

Everyone had gathered.

Shinobi in their faded flak jackets, kunoichi with forehead protectors and watchful eyes, weary blacksmiths scrubbed clean of ash and soot, academy teachers hastily ushering students to the front rows. Ordinary villagers, unable to sense chakra but acutely aware of the tension in the air. And at the edg...
