Chapter 8 People Who Can't Recognize Themselves
In the forest outside the Uchiha clan's territory.
Itachi has been waiting here for a long time.
He knew that person would definitely come.
Footsteps approached, and a person wearing a tiger-skin mask appeared nearby.
Itachi walked over and stood in front of Obito.
"Tonight's operation."
Obito replied, disguising his voice, "Alright, as agreed, I'll lend you a hand."
Itachi turned his head and said, "Then, let's do as we agreed."
Obito crossed his arms and said, "The reason I helped you annihilate the Uchiha clan wasn't just for revenge; I had other purposes as well."
"Just pretend you didn't see those."
Itachi naturally knew that the other party was referring to the plan to collect Sharingan eyes.
But now that things have come to this, Itachi doesn't care about any of that anymore.
"You mean you want me to stop using my Sharingan to record your actions, right?"
"That's right, this is also proof that I spared your brother's life."
"I don't need a child without Sharingan."
Itachi knew that Sasuke wasn't of much use right now, so he turned around and said, "So you can rest assured, right?"
"I have no other choice but to believe you."
Obito knew that after this incident, Itachi had nowhere better to go.
He also spoke up, saying, "If you're desperate, you can always come to our organization."
Itachi asked, somewhat puzzled, "Your organization?"
"Yes, her name is [Xiao]."
……
The Hokage's office.
The Third Hokage was dealing with government affairs and did not show much emotional reaction to tonight's annihilation of the Uchiha clan.
Everything has been planned. Even if the Uchiha clan is on guard, the only ones who will suffer losses are Danzo's Root.
It has nothing to do with him.
He only needs to lead the Dark Guard to clean up the mess.
"Urgent report!"
The secret agents barged in without permission.
The Third Hokage frowned, but instead of reprimanding the Anbu, he asked, "What happened?!"
The ANBU immediately reported, "Kakashi and the other two who were monitoring Sasuke have gone missing."
"Sasuke's whereabouts are also unknown."
The Third Hokage paused, his hand holding the pipe still, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Naruto?"
The Anbu replied, "Naruto is safe and sound and is currently at home."
The third generation felt relieved and picked up his pipe to take a puff.
But in his mind, he was wondering who had taken Sasuke away—Danzo or Itachi?
If it's Danzo, then there's no problem; you can negotiate with him yourself.
If it's Itachi, things might be a bit troublesome.
The third generation looked up at the clock; it was already 10 p.m., and the sky outside was long dark.
If Itachi were to take action, it would probably be around this time.
"Send more people to keep an eye on the Uchiha clan's territory. Report back immediately if anything happens!"
"Yes!"
……
The bright moon hangs high in the sky.
The night seems unusually quiet tonight.
Having made up his mind to bear all of this, Itachi arrived at the gate of the clan's territory.
He put the mask on his face.
In the blink of an eye, he was on top of the low wall.
"Sasuke..."
Itachi murmured something, then his eyes hardened.
He drew his knife and leaped down from the low wall.
Suddenly! Two large nets appeared from the shadows on either side of the wall!
"call!!!"
The large net, accompanied by a whistling wind, was cast down upon the weasel.
Itachi's heart tightened. How could this be?!
The moment they were covered by the large net, the cawing of crows rang out.
"Ah...ah...ah..."
Itachi's entire body transformed into countless crows, which scattered and flew continuously in the sky, eventually returning to Itachi's form.
But before Itachi could land, a large number of shuriken flew out from the shadows.
Itachi brandished his weapon, repeatedly knocking away the shuriken, but he still managed to get two cuts on his shoulder.
At that moment, a figure emerged from the shadows.
"Itachi, you have indeed betrayed the clan!"
Itachi landed on the ground without changing his expression. The information that he possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan was unknown to the rest of the clan.
So even though he was scratched, he did not use Susanoo.
But Itachi was still somewhat surprised. He had expected his father or the Grand Elder to appear, but he hadn't expected it to be Chiyo.
Chiyo and Shisui were classmates, so Itachi naturally knew them as well.
Later, after a family tragedy, everyone gradually lost contact with each other due to their busy schedules.
"I never expected it to be Senyao-senpai." Itachi's expression was cold, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Chiyo didn't send anyone else out, but faced Itachi alone. As he walked towards Itachi, he said:
"Do you want to become an accomplice of Konoha to wipe out your own clan?"
Upon hearing Qianyao's question, Itachi's expression flickered slightly:
"Now that things have come to this, what's the point of Senior Qianyao asking this question?"
Qian Yao chuckled lightly: "There is a type of person in this world who is the easiest to deceive, and that is someone who thinks highly of themselves."
"Just keep telling him, 'Thanks to you, you have the mind of a Naruto.'"
"Then this person will arrogantly believe that if they can't solve a problem, no one else can either."
Itachi could tell, of course, that Chiyo was talking about him.
But he is now completely lost, living in a world of falsehood.
When Shisui died, he placed the heavy burden of "peace" on Itachi's shoulders.
However, Itachi had no one to guide him.
Through repeated brainwashing by three generations, they are unable to accept the outcome of their failure.
Lying to others, lying to yourself.
He disagreed with his inability to save his people and continued to exert pressure.
He had no choice but to accept the mission of annihilating the Uchiha clan.
Itachi now is certainly not someone who can be persuaded with just a few words.
Itachi remained silent, not listening to Chiyo's words, but waiting for Chiyo to approach him.
But Qianyao had the same thought.
As a master of illusion, Itachi's first instinct was to use illusion to subdue Chiyo.
After all, even if you are on guard against illusions, they can still be countered by the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Qianyao is definitely no match for him!
"Ah!" A childish scream rang out.
Itachi was momentarily distracted! It was Sasuke's voice!
He glanced at the shadows out of the corner of his eye and saw Yusuke throw the unconscious Sasuke at his feet and stomp on him!
In that instant, Qianyao didn't even make eye contact with Itachi, and directly rushed into Itachi's attack range.
With a single slash, he deflected Itachi's weapon and aimed straight at Itachi's face.
Itachi never expected that Chiyo would kidnap Sasuke right under Konoha's nose.
The Itachi of today is not as mature as he was eight years later. He saw his beloved younger brother being captured and his own weapon being knocked away.
Qianyao's longsword had already reached Itachi's face, and he could even feel the stinging pain as it sliced across his cheek.
"Susanoo!"
Having just used Crow Clone, Itachi could only use Susanoo for defense.
As soon as the skeleton appeared, the long sword in Qianyao's hand was knocked away.
Itachi showed no mercy, his massive Susanoo hand grabbing directly at Chiyo.
