Continuation.....
[October 09, 14 A.N.N.]
"We give up!" -Said the Patriarch of the Uchiha clan with a tired voice, while he looked at me, waiting for what decision I was going to make.
I stared at him while listening to his answer, my sword was still a few inches from his throat, after he surrendered, he remained silent, and his eyes did not reflect fear.
The entire battlefield is silent, no one dared to speak, much less the Uchiha Clan members, as they had defeated their Clan Patriarch from him.
I kept looking at the patriarch of the Uchiha Clan and I thought 'This old man, he had been testing me when we had been fighting... it's like he wanted to confirm something.', I didn't understand his motive, but I was going to find out soon; I moved my sword so fast, and cut him.
When I cut, the Uchiha thought that I had cut their patriarch, but my lightning sword had only grazed the throat of the patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, a small line of blood appeared, it had not killed him, because, in the whole fight, he had just been testing me, and had found no malicious attacks.
'¡Well... Thanks to him!, I was able to grow one more level in my power' I thought, and I spoke - "Old man... remember, don't play with your life... or, it could cost you dearly".
When I finished speaking, I pulled my sword out of the ground, and began to walk calmly away from everyone.
"Thank you! For not eliminating my Clan members." – Said the patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, enduring the pain of his wounds.
"Old man, if they had attacked me, they would already be dead." – I spoke calmly, and I thought 'No one attacked me, for this reason, I had not eliminated them.'
When I looked around, everyone was quiet, and no one said anything, since, during the entire battle, I had only killed the enemies, without attacking any Uchiha, or Uzumaki.
The entire battlefield is a mess, the fire is still lingering, covering everything. Also, many deaths could be seen on the ground, and a small river of blood had formed; weapons were scattered everywhere.
The Uchiha and the Uzumaki, many of them were injured, and only the children were okay.
Everyone was looking at me, since I'm the only one in the best condition in this place, plus I'm the strongest, and I showed it when I defeated the Uchiha Clan patriarch.
'And now! What do I do with the Uchiha?' I thought, and I thought of the best alternative, is to eliminate them, I let out a killing intent, and hide it immediately, since it would be better to eliminate them so that there are no witnesses, and continued. '¡Sighed!... I had promised Tobi to help them.'.
When I had released my killing intent, the patriarch of the Uchiha Clan had felt it, since his years of experience could detect it immediately, he just stared at me, doing nothing, since his body was weak, from his injuries, from the excessive use of the Mangekyou Sharingan, and all the fighting that was going on.
I started to move away, and I approached where the Uzumaki Clan is.
The three white-haired Uzumaki had died, when they had given the information to their Clan members.
I looked at the Uzumaki, and of the 59 people, there were only 50 civilians (children) left; and 4 Uzumaki ninjas, they are seriously injured, but persisted in standing.
"Hello... my three companions, they have told me that we can trust you... That was their dying wish, and we trust them!" – Said the Uzumaki ninja, while he greeted me, and continued. - "I'm Uzumaki Touya.".
"Well, you make things easy for me... I don't like to be explaining too much." – I spoke calmly, and made a sign.
At this moment, five figures of different sizes appeared, and they began to approach where he was with the Uzumaki.
When they saw five figures appear in the same outfit, they realized that I belonged to an organization, and I wasn't alone, my condition became more mysterious to them.
"Go with them!" – I spoke calmly while looking at the leader of the Uzumaki, and I thought 'I need you to check them if they have any communication seal or something... that they can communicate with.'
"..." The five Wood Clones nodded at me in approval, as they knew what they had to do.
The five Wood Clone and the Uzumaki began to withdraw from this place, while I stayed and watched all the Uchiha.
He wasn't that worried, because of the surroundings, since Aizen was constantly using the detection skill, and if enemies appeared, he would know immediately.
During all this time, the Uchiha remained silent, while helping each other, and did not say anything about what he was doing, since they know that the Uzumaki do not trust their village.
The patriarch of the Uchiha Clan is being helped, by several of his Clan members, and he just keeps silent, while analyzing the whole situation, since he had appeared in this place, and when he reached the end, he knew immediately that everything was a trap for his Clan.
The patriarch of the Uchiha Clan watched as the Uzumaki began to move away from this place, and were taken to a distant place, where no one could detect what was happening in that place. When He saw the Uzumaki disappear, he looked at me that he was standing, while he looked at his entire Clan, without saying a word.
When he was looking at the Uchiha, I could count that only 67 people could survive, and I thought 'If I had been late, everyone would have been dead, since the number of enemies was too much to defend, and protect…'.
At this moment, I felt a gaze, and when I looked at him, he is the patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, and I thought 'The old man would have died in this place if he had not intervened... he would have been overwhelmed, by the number of enemies.. .besides, he in this battle won the Mangekyou Sharingan, he also raised a level of his strength, now they are at Kage-High level.'.
'And now, what do I do with them?... Do I erase their memory?... Or, did he talk to them?' I thought carefully, since I didn't want to leave any loose ends in this place, and remembered something, and continued. 'I made a promise to Tobi to try to give him a helping hand...'.
"Old man! What is your name?" – I spoke calmly, while he looked at the patriarch of the Uchiha Clan.
In little Obito's memories, he didn't know his patriarch's name, he only knew him as the patriarch, and I thought 'That's the problem of a boy in love... He doesn't care at all!... Besides, he only saw him twice, but he never knew her name…because, he only cared about Rin'.
"I'm Uchiha... Uchiha Makoto!" – Said the Patriarch of the Uchiha clan with a calmer voice, since he has recovered in this time, while answering my question, he just looked at me, and did not say anything again, he was too weak to continue fighting.
'I never heard that name in the original story, he must have died in this place, with his entire Clan, and the Uzumaki. 'I thought, as he looked at Makoto.
The other Uchiha fell silent, as they watched, and listened to our conversation.
"Old man! I know you're not stupid, and you've already realized the truth...right?" - I spoke calmly, and I was testing his wisdom, since he might have realized the truth, and I thought 'I didn't want to beat around the bush, but I wanted to test the old man's wisdom first.'
Uchiha Makoto listened to my words, while he looked at me, his doubts began to clear, and then he looked at all of his Clans who were helping each other. Furthermore, he looked at the battlefield and knew right away that this entire lineup was to exterminate his Clan, and he looked at me with a serious face, and said, "You know that, right?"
When I heard his answer, I could only smile under my mask, since he is very clever in not answering my question, and instead, he asked me a question, and I spoke - "Yes, it seems, you have analyzed everything accurately... ¡I'm surprised by your ability!... ¿Tell me what you know?".
The other Uchiha kept silent, and they didn't know what we were talking about, after all, they would never have thought that their village could betray them, not even in their wildest dreams could they have come to that conclusion.
Makoto kept silent, since, if he said what he was thinking, it is like betraying his village, since no one could believe that it is true, what he had analyzed, not even himself, he could not believe that his analysis was true, because it would be something tragic for his Clan.
Makoto had been silent for a long time, as he looked at me.
He knew that he was waiting for his answer, and the answer that he will give can determine which path he was going to take, since it can be good or bad for his Clan, it all depends on his answer.
When I looked at Makoto who hadn't said anything, I hadn't rushed him, since he's very smart, and he's analyzing everything, and I thought 'If you still insist on trusting your village, I'll just erase their memory, and get out of this place... ¡But! If you are willing to trust me, and betray your village, I can help you a little.'.
All the Uchiha fell silent, as they felt the atmosphere tense, and their patriarch became more serious every moment, keeping silent, and sometimes, he looked at them and something final, his patriarch looked at me.
When Makoto looked at me, his face was serious, since he had made a decision that could affect his Clan, for better or for worse, and he said...
"¡Konoha…!"
To be continued...
