I will never allow that wonderful possibility to be cut off.
Fugaku clan chief...
"Stop."
"Try it." Fugaku Uchiha snorted coldly, staring at him with extreme disappointment. His aura suddenly surged, and the kaleidoscope in his eyes spun rapidly.
Shisui sensed a powerful ocular force gathering before his eyes and instinctively assumed that it was Fugaku Uchiha activating his ocular technique.
Without the slightest hesitation, Uchiha Shisui made his choice.
"Kotoamatsukami!!!"
Chapter 124 The Parricide: Uchiha Itachi (11,000 words)
Blood gushed out. Uchiha Shisui covered one eye with one hand, and looked wearily at Uchiha Fugaku in front of him with the other eye. He was surprised to find that Fugaku also had a single eye that was gushing blood tears.
Fugaku Uchiha's light laughter sent a chill down Shisui Uchiha's spine. He instinctively drew his katana and exclaimed, "Impossible!?"
"Haha...hahaha...hahahahaha!"
Fugaku Uchiha's smile widened as he covered his head with one hand, leaning back with an increasingly maniacal grin: "What terrifying power! Kotoamatsukami!"
“Very good... As long as we have this... as long as we aim this eye at Hyuga Yuzuru.”
The acting Hokage will then abdicate, and the true Fifth Hokage will ascend the throne!
Fugaku Uchiha suddenly stood up, spread his arms, and looked at Shisui Uchiha, who was in shock, and laughed loudly: "Go ahead and attack me! Right now, the area around the Uchiha clan is full of ANBU agents planted by the Fifth Hokage. As long as you attack me, he will come to check the situation."
If he comes, I can use your power to make Hyuga Yuzuru the most loyal supporter of my Uchiha clan!
Come!
Struggle as much as you want!
Stop the water!
A fair proposal is...
Susanoo... I can wait until you use it first!
Uchiha Shisui suddenly slashed out with his sword, but Uchiha Fugaku dodged it with a mere blink of an eye, and then grabbed a katana that was placed in the living room.
Uchiha Shisui did not pursue, but stood still, his body trembling slightly.
How could that be?!
My Kotoamatsukami...
It's not working!?
不 ...
It was absorbed by his kaleidoscope!?
Oh no...
If the battle becomes too intense, the Fifth Hokage will definitely come out to check and stop it.
Then, he would be struck by Kotoamatsukami, which was currently in Fugaku Uchiha's eyes...
What to do? What to do?!
No one understood the power of this technique better than Shisui. He gritted his teeth, a look of madness flashing in his eyes.
There is only one way to break this deadlock.
Kill Uchiha Fugaku, or force him to use Kotoamatsukami on himself!
If I were to take the brunt of Kotoamatsukami's pain in Yuzuru's place... then with Yuzuru's power, I could definitely...
Also, inform the Hokage as soon as possible that he must not approach the battlefield. He must not approach the battlefield until Fugaku Uchiha uses his eye technique!
He leaped out of the living room and, facing the confident-looking Fugaku Uchiha, rapidly formed hand seals: "Fire Release! Dragon Fire Technique!"
A super long fire dragon spread out, and Fugaku Uchiha just smiled coldly and took a step back for a moment. Just as Shisui was about to take this opportunity to leave in a flash.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Several ninjutsu techniques came from the doorway at the same time. Uchiha Shisui's eyes darted around violently. They were several Uchiha clansmen who were unaware of what was happening and were rushing to the aid of their clan leader after he was attacked.
Is Susanoo the only option?
No, if the Hokage is drawn here before the Anbu have been notified of the information about Kotoamatsukami...
His expression changed repeatedly. Finally, he chose to dodge again using the Instantaneous Movement technique, but the wide-range fire jutsu made it extremely difficult for him to dodge. He was hit in many places, and felt a burning pain.
But Shisui lived up to his reputation as an elite ninja of the Anbu and lived up to his title of "Shisui of the Body Flicker." In that instant, figures flickered frequently in the air, and for a moment, it seemed as if more than a dozen Shisuis appeared in the air.
The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan allowed him to unleash his other trump card, which was the least disruptive yet most powerful at this moment: the Genjutsu Kotoamatsukami, known as the strongest genjutsu in Konoha!
The mere sight of his eye would throw the Uchiha clansmen into a frenzy, causing them to raise their weapons and slash at their own comrades, creating utter chaos. Meanwhile, Uchiha Shisui's mind raced, and he suddenly realized a crucial fact.
A smirk played on his lips as he looked at Fugaku Uchiha in the distance, letting out a cold laugh: "So, after absorbing my Kotoamatsukami, your Mangekyou Sharingan can no longer unleash Susanoo or advanced ninjutsu?"
"So, you want to wait for me to make a mistake so you can use Susanoo and create a commotion?"
"So... can you really withstand it if you can only dodge?"
As Shisui Uchiha finished speaking, Fugaku Uchiha's expression remained unchanged, still exuding confidence. As he slowly retreated, he said softly, "Who knows? But... isn't this enough?"
The moment he finished speaking, more Uchiha ninjas rushed up from behind him. They were all elite members of the radical faction. Uchiha Shisui was frequently activating Kotoamatsukami at this moment, and he even felt his vision beginning to blur due to using too much ocular power in a short period of time. He endured the discomfort, drew his katana, and roared forward.
As long as we get to that place.
All we need to do is kill Uchiha Fugaku.
All I have to do is bear the burden of what he sees as Kotoamatsukami.
Yuzuru will definitely be able to personally deal with these treacherous officials!
what...
Izumi, Itachi.
You are right.
I...
What a foolish and weak fellow...
Even something as simple as using Kotoamatsukami would become a burden to others.
Uchiha Shisui gritted his teeth, pushing his body to its limits.
"Don't let the Hokage get near here!!!"
He let out a roar that echoed throughout the clan's territory, hoping that the ANBU members who had observed the commotion nearby would notify Hyuga Yuzuru in time.
Fugaku Uchiha coldly waved his hand: "Have Itachi block the streets and prevent the Anbu from getting close. Quickly kill Shisui Uchiha. I want to meet Yuzuru Hyuga in person!"
The Uchiha clan members flocked to the scene, and the elite ninjas controlled by the genjutsu Kotoamatsukami, which Shisui could use multiple times with minimal consumption but whose power was drastically reduced, gradually awoke as well.
Even though many elite Jonin and Chunin had already been cut down by their own people or killed by Shisui's sword, this only drove the Uchiha people, who were still somewhat hesitant, into complete madness.
Uchiha Shisui was caught in a fierce battle. The sounds of clashing blades and screams filled the air as he struggled forward, only to find that he could never close the distance between himself and Uchiha Fugaku.
The other person simply stared calmly at him with their Mangekyou Sharingan, speaking in a tone that was both regretful and indifferent, as if they were foreshadowing his fate.
"Shisui...what a pity."
If you could understand what I'm saying, it could have been much simpler...
Go ahead without worry. Even if I become Hokage, Hyuga Yuzuru can still serve as my advisors and offer me strategies...
Konoha will continue to be great.
only...
Glory belongs to the Uchiha!
After Fugaku Uchiha finished speaking, he turned his head away. At that moment, Itachi Uchiha walked slowly from a distance. Behind him, Sasuke Uchiha was running towards the outside of the clan compound for some unknown reason.
"Itachi, have you blocked off the streets? Where did you send Sasuke?"
His brows were furrowed.
Uchiha Itachi said calmly, “The streets are completely sealed off, which ensures that the Anbu ninjas cannot approach the clan territory.”
I ordered Sasuke to take refuge in the underground facility—it's the safest place there.
Fugaku Uchiha seemed to be deep in thought, but at this moment the battle was fierce. Shisui in the distance seemed to be on the verge of collapse, but he was extremely resilient. He had suffered several wounds, but he was still relentlessly attacking him.
The family's refuge was indeed located over there.
Good, hiding in the underground facility will prevent Sasuke from seeing any of this.
Itachi stood quietly behind Fugaku Uchiha, watching Shisui be surrounded. After a long while, he asked softly, "Father... is it really necessary for you to become Hokage?"
Fugaku Uchiha sneered, "What are you still hesitating about at this point? Don't worry, I know you and Yuzuru Hyuga have a good relationship, and I won't harm him. The power of Kotoamatsukami can only change people's beliefs and some perceptions; it won't change anything else."
Haven't you ever thought about it? What kind of glory will the Uchiha clan usher in after I become Hokage? Under our rule, Konoha will once again stand at the pinnacle of the ninja world!
"Afterwards, Hinata Yuzuru will still be your friend, and we will still be..."
His words suddenly stopped.
His trembling pupils turned slightly downwards.
All that could be seen was the sharp blade of the katana piercing through the heart.
Slowly turning his head, Fugaku Uchiha stared blankly into Itachi Uchiha's eyes.
The three tomoe in Itachi Uchiha's eyes spun wildly, and two streams of bloody tears flowed down his face.
"Father...
sorry..."
His voice trembled.
All the Uchiha people present were completely stunned at that moment.
"Chief...?" someone murmured in disbelief.
"Ah!!" Uchiha Mikoto was awakened by the sounds of battle. After rushing out of the room, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to her knees with a desperate scream.
"Brother...Dad..."
Just then, Sasuke, who had just turned back and was running towards them, was in the distance. His pupils were trembling violently, and his whole body was shaking so badly that he could only make a barely audible sound.
Under these watchful eyes, Itachi Uchiha slowly drew his katana.
Losing his support, Fugaku Uchiha's knees buckled, and he knelt on one knee. However, the powerful vitality of a ninja kept his consciousness clear, and his eye power surged wildly, as if his kaleidoscopes wanted to save and change this tragedy. But in the end, all he could do was keep him calm at this moment.
Fugaku Uchiha clutched his heart for a long time before letting out a bitter laugh.
"I see..."
He swayed and turned his head to look at Uchiha Itachi, who stood there with his eyes now twisted and transformed into kaleidoscope patterns.
He remained silent, but his tears were mixed with blood as he left his face.
In a short time.
He couldn't muster even the slightest resentment.
Ah... Just now, when he told Sasuke to leave, it wasn't to let him go to safety, but to inform the Anbu, right?
Honestly... I actually fell for his trick...
In that case, the Fifth Hokage probably won't come...
As expected, my own eyes were ultimately of no use.
I'm such a useless person...
It was a complete and utter failure...
But after these thoughts flashed through his mind, the only images that Fugaku Uchiha could recall were those of his childhood with Itachi, the unease and fear Itachi felt when he was taken to the battlefield, and Itachi’s increasingly silent and mature demeanor after returning to Konoha.
Then, what flashed before his eyes were the smiling faces of everyone when Sasuke was born, and the scene of him eating at the table with Mikoto, Sasuke, and Itachi.
