“What’s going on?”
The Masked Man was puzzled.
He had prepared to unleash his full power, but he hadn’t expected to succeed so easily, without even wasting much Chakra.
So this is the elite of the Uchiha Clan?
Has the Uchiha Clan’s level dropped so low now?
What he didn’t know was that the elite Jōnin of the Konoha Military Police Force were already “fast asleep,” and the strongest captain, Uchiha Fugaku, was already at home waiting for death…
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Just then, several shuriken shot over rapidly.
But the Masked Man ignored them completely; the shuriken had no effect, passing straight through his body.
“Oh? Three-Tomoe Sharingan? Barely enough…” The Masked Man slowly turned his head to look at the young girl not far away.
Clang!
A scarlet Sharingan bloomed under the mask, and powerful ocular power surged out.
Uchiha Izumi was startled into a cold sweat; she realized she was no match for this person at all.
So she turned and fled, but the next second she was ensnared by the Masked Man’s ruthless iron chain.
Izumi struggled desperately, but it was to no avail; she could only be dragged back inch by inch.
Death was drawing closer…
Izumi couldn’t help but tear up:
“Itachi… quickly, quickly save me…”
She muttered her boyfriend’s name, her god; at this moment, she only hoped he would appear and save her.
However, no miracle occurred.
The tiger-skin Masked Man ruthlessly destroyed the flower, and after stabbing Izumi to death, he gouged out her eyes…
“I originally thought this was just an opportunity to obtain enough Sharingan, but I didn’t expect…”
“It seems the Uchiha Clan is truly finished.”
The Masked Man snorted coldly:
“Whatever… it doesn’t matter what happens to this world…”
He was happy to see it happen; this would weaken Konoha’s power and be more conducive to the smooth execution of his final plan.
This operation was a three-party cooperation.
His task was to be responsible for clearing out the elite of the Uchiha Clan, Itachi was responsible for everyone in the clan, young and old, and Danzō was responsible for suppressing the formation and reaping the rewards.
Itachi and Danzō wanted to use him, but didn’t he want to use them too?
Originally, he just wanted to collect enough eyes before proceeding with other plans.
For example, helping the Uchiha counterattack Konoha after the war broke out.
Or taking the opportunity to divide Konoha’s power and deceive the Uchiha’s high-level combat strength.
No matter which follow-up, he could significantly damage and collapse Konoha, or even directly obtain the Kyūbi!
Right now, he had to guide the leaders and control Kirigakure, which was already quite risky; he simply didn’t have the extra power to deal with Konoha at the same time.
After all, the plan was the most important thing; he couldn’t expose his intelligence.
Engaging with Konoha again would be tantamount to declaring war on half the Shinobi World at the same time.
The Kyūbi was Konoha’s lifeline.
It was not yet time…
In fact, using the Kyūbi to riot in Konoha back then was also intended to divide Konoha and the Uchiha…
The more chaotic the Shinobi World, the more top combatants would die, and the greater the success rate of the plan would be!
He didn’t expect Konoha to be so corrupt that there were always people jumping out to help foreign enemies eliminate dissidents.
“Hmph, this world is indeed false. I… want to create a world with her!”
…
“Three hundred ninety-one…”
Itachi muttered the number of people killed.
His movements were swift and mechanical, as if he were just a ruthless machine.
At this moment, it was no longer just his hands that were sticky; his whole body felt sticky.
There was too much blood!
But it was still far from enough.
Although there were only about two hundred people in the Uchiha Clan who had awakened their eyes, if you included ordinary people, the entire clan had nearly thirteen hundred people!
Kill!
He had to continue, kill at a faster speed!
…
The moon was blood-red.
At the Konoha gate, Uchiha Tianti crashed down from mid-air, stumbling two steps before standing firm.
“Who is it?!”
Konoha’s two gatekeepers, Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki, immediately discovered the intruder.
Tianti ignored them and used Shunshin no Jutsu to rush into Konoha.
“Is it someone from the Uchiha? You…”
Before Kotetsu Hagane could finish his sentence, Tianti’s figure had already disappeared.
Tianti stood at the highest point of the Village.
He looked up and looked into the distance.
In the clan grounds, lights were on one by one.
It looked… still normal?
A glimmer of hope had just risen in Tianti’s heart when his perception caught something abnormal…
No!
His Sage Body perception was fully activated instantly!
Two abnormally strong Chakra sources were moving in the central area of the clan grounds!
One of them, the Chakra was cold and huge, carrying the unique cold aura of the Sharingan, but it was mixed with some power he was not familiar with.
The other one, the amount of Chakra was relatively small, but more dangerous and terrifying, and… that aura, he was too familiar with it.
Uchiha Itachi!
Tianti’s heart sank.
“Mother! Yao Yao!”
His perception touched the direction of his home, his heart trembled, and then his mind went blank.
They were gone!
“No!!!”
Uchiha Tianti let out a long howl, and the Mangekyō Sharingan was instantly activated.
Had he returned too late after all?
At this moment, he was filled with regret; why did it happen like this…
No!
There was still a chance; as long as he was alive, there was still a chance.
The power of all things in creation was not incapable of resurrecting the dead!
In his perception, the Chakra in the clan grounds was disappearing one by one.
Rushing over now would surely be intercepted by Root and Anbu, and how precious was time right now?
And if a war broke out in the clan grounds, it would only fulfill the wishes of some old foxes.
If a full-scale conflict erupted, this would be a war of almost one against one hundred…
How many clansmen would survive then?
Right now, it was most important to ensure that the Uchiha’s combat power stayed alive.
Save the clan through a curve, let himself become the main force, and start a full-scale war!
“Kill~!”
“Since you want to kill, then let’s kill to our heart’s content!”
“Die! Everyone must die!”
The rage in his chest surged and spewed out; Tianti’s eyes were blood-red, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face.
He had no time to capture the Kyūbi, use the power of the Kyūbi to riot, and no time to find Uchiha Sasuke.
The tactics he had prepared earlier were now useless, and the situation was imminent.
…
Boom!
An explosion suddenly occurred in the center of the Village, and a huge mushroom cloud of fire rose, illuminating most of Konoha.
A huge golden Chakra giant appeared under the firelight.
Susanoo!
And it was the fourth form of the Crow Tengu, a full fifty or sixty meters high!
Like an ancient god of war appearing in the world, the Susanoo punched and swung its sword, the earth was instantly overturned, destroying a large number of houses.
The Konoha that was about to fall asleep was instantly ignited by the sudden disaster.
“Help!”
“Ahhh, run away!”
“What is that monster?”
Countless villagers were frightened out of their wits and fled frantically.
The Shinobi flashed and rushed to various places; some tried to defend, some quickly saved people and organized evacuations.
However, the Susanoo was faster and more ruthless; they couldn’t stop it, and they couldn’t escape!
Bang!
The huge Chakra giant sword smashed a large group of Shinobi along with the buildings.
Tianti manipulated the Susanoo to continue killing towards the Hokage Building.
