chapter seventeen

itachi has just been given the order to kill the people of his clan. he is conflicted about what to do as his best friend told him to take care of the village

"where is Ryu when you need him" he said

his cousin also doesn't want to have a civil war in the village. he also has been trying hard to stop the coup that is about to happen. He has been one of the reasons the clan has yet to attack due to them fearing his strength. They are planning to take the chance during his absence to start the coup.

before Itachi and Ryu could be said to be rivals but during his eight year he started growing faster that itachi could catch up to.

he has always been the calm type, it is rear to see him getting angry. Apart from the small smiles that he makes one could hardly see any emotions on his face

itachi stood on top of the roof watch as Sasuke was sparring against Ryu's other cousin Naruto. after watching his brother for a while, he finally decided on what to do.

night came itachi was getting ready to for the mission he has been given. He had already asked for help from the masked man who calls himself Madara he has tasked him with dealing with police force. the main reason is he doesn't want to face Izumi.

he walked out moving towards the Uchiha clan but he was stopped by somebody wearing a robe to cover himself.

"who are you" itachi said as he went on guard.

"seems it has been a short time but you have already forgotten about poor old me"

"S... Shisui!!??*" itachi said in surprise "I thought you died"

"sorry about that but it was needed for the sake of saving the village so I had to pretend I was dead" Shisui said

"but why!!?"itachi asked as he was very confused

"it was actually Ryu's idea but it was the only way" he explained "when Danzo attacked me I was saved by Ryu after that he told me to pretend, I was still poisoned and jump off the cliff so you could get the Mangeko Sharingan"

"but why didn't you come back then" he asked

"I told you I long as I'm alive Danzo won't give up on get my Sharingan and destroying the clan" he continues "they were two versions of the plan. the first was if the clan still insisted on the coup, Ryu plans for us to kill all the higher ups and fighter in the clan before they can start it. that way, they will be no fighter and the clan will still survive but with only us to support it"

"what of the second?" Itachi asks

"that is what we're about to do now" he answered "Ryu said that the Lord third will definitely want to negotiate with the clan but he thought Danzo will definitely not allow that to happen"

"so, the only way he can do that is if he can make you do it with the third knowing that way, he can stop the coup and destroy the Uchiha"

"how did he know that will happen?"

"he was sure Danzo will try to manipulate you knowing you don't want the coup to happen or threatening you with Sasuke"

"Then what's the plan?"

"it's the same thing you're going to do but we're going to kill only those that are involved no civilian and children is to be touched"

"I can do that"

"alright let's go I took care of Danzo's root, can't let you carry all the sin of the clan"

"thank you"

far away from Konoha in the broader between the land of fire and the land of earth one could see the forest around almost 3km was a flame. inside the fire one could see bodies lying on the ground lifeless.

a man could be seen walk out of the fire his clothes were torn also having a few cuts on him holding a sword the blade of the sword was a 1 and a half meters long, has bright red color looking like it just come out of the furnace

"I have to say they put up more of a fight than I thought" he said looking around at the destruction he caused using his zanpakto

out of the 50 ninjas that came after him only three managed to escape.

"it seems I still have enough strength to handle him even if I can't win against him, I should be able to stop him" saying that Ryu disappeared in a flash

back in Konoha, the Uchiha police are under their attack by a mask man and he has been killing them nonstop right now only one person remains UCHIHA IZUMI she is presently confronting the masked man.

she tries to attack him using shuriken but they just pass through him without any damage. she tries to run but is captured by a chain

"don't worry this won't hurt a bit" the masked man said

As he about to drag her away he felt a sense of danger trusting his instincts he let go the chain and jumped away dodging the flaming sword that intended to cut him in half

"Ohh!! you dodged" Ryu said

"izumi are alright" she nodded but still scarred because of her near-death situation.

'oh, shit she actually got it'

looking into her which has now turned to the higher level of the Sharingan "the Mangeko Sharingan"

after getting over the shock, seeing she was alright he turned to the masked man

"seems you have been taking care of my clan guess is time to repay the favor"

He stood there looking at the person who would become a Demi god in the future "Uchiha obito"

"interesting you say you're going to pay me back" he said" let me see how you would do that"
