"Please, please don't!!" A scream echoed in the dark alley as a young Genin from the Uchiha clan was mercilessly killed by Itachi.
His sword had already claimed hundreds of lives.
If there were ripples in his heart at the beginning, now it was completely still.
He had killed to the point of almost losing his sense of emotion.
He was like a puppet on strings.
Or like a ruthless killing machine.
"Excluding Sasuke, there are still 247 left..." Uchiha Itachi knew very well how many clan members his family had: "If we don't count the Uchiha Guard, there are still 196 left... Not far ahead is Izumi's house."
"Izumi, after I kill you, I will destroy your eyes. I won't let your eyes fall into the hands of any villain. I don't want anyone to use your eyes for evil. You wouldn't want your eyes to be used by others as you head to heaven, would you?"
Itachi had made up his mind. He was going to personally kill Uchiha Izumi and her mother, Uchiha Hazuki.
He wanted to let this mother and daughter die without pain.
"I'm sorry, Izumi... I know you have feelings for me, but for the sake of the village, for peace, I have to do this."
Uchiha Itachi leaped onto the second floor of the balcony.
He knew this was Uchiha Izumi's home.
Itachi didn't know... Uchiha Izumi was rushing to his house to save his younger brother. And he was heading straight to Uchiha Izumi's house to kill Izumi and her mother.
The ninja world is very distorted.
Yet full of drama.
Bang...
The balcony window was kicked open by Itachi, and his two Sharingan were always open. Uchiha Itachi, with blood-red eyes, walked into the room like a death god, and the sword in his hand was still slowly dripping blood.
"Drip!"
"Drip!"
But what puzzled Itachi was that the only sounds in the room were his faint heartbeat and the sound of blood falling from his sword.
"Not at home?" Itachi frowned, the situation was a bit unexpected: "Both of them are not here?"
He walked back to the balcony and looked down at the street below.
There were more than a dozen bodies on the street.
All were his recent kills.
"Izumi, Aunt Hazuki, are you not in the Uchiha residence?"
Itachi didn't know whether he was relieved or a bit disappointed.
He was a bit confused about his own feelings.
But he quickly put these thoughts behind him, because he had to kill all the Uchihas within a certain time!
"Mom? Mom! Mom, what's wrong? Mom?"
When Itachi jumped down from the balcony and returned to the street.
He heard such a voice coming from behind him.
He looked back sideways.
He saw a child about the same age as Sasuke, frantically shaking a body on the ground. He could also hear a hint of fear in the other's cries.
Underneath Itachi's mask, his face showed no expression.
He walked step by step towards there.
"I'm sorry, please forgive me." His voice sounded behind the child, although it was an apology, there was no emotional fluctuation.
The child, who was about the same age as Sasuke, turned around in horror.
What greeted him was a blood-stained sword.
The blade pierced the child's mouth and came out from the back of his head.
"195 left..."
Under the white moonlight.
The whispering voice was chilling.
...
Uchiha Obito's maniacal laughter gradually subsided. He looked at the bewildered Uchiha Izumi in front of him, and without hesitation, he cast a Genjutsu on her with his revealed Mangekyou Sharingan.
"Tobi, spare her life for now," Obito's voice, still disguised as the hoarse old man, said, "Seeing the body of a clansman activated her Three Tomoe. She's a rare Uchiha prodigy."
"We need to maximize our benefits tonight!"
Obito stopped Tobi, who wanted to take action.
The Genjutsu he cast on UchihaIzumi was not to control Izumi, but to reveal all the truth to her.
Izumi, with her Three Tomoe Sharingan activated, was stunned on the spot.
Her eyes couldn't resist the Genjutsu of Mangekyou.
Scene after scene, and voice after voice, flashed in Izumi's eyes.
The image she saw the most was Uchiha Itachi.
The voice she heard the most was also Uchiha Itachi's.
She saw Itachi negotiating with the mysterious masked man.
She also heard them planning the night of the clan's extermination.
Tears streamed down Uchiha Izumi's face. When the effect of the Genjutsu abruptly ended, she still had no reaction and stood there blankly.
"This... this is..."
"Hehe, this is true! I am Uchiha Madara, I would not deceive a dying junior!" Obito's smile was very malicious, "Itachi's 'capacity' even shocked me! For the long-term future of Konohagakure, he chose the most extreme path without hesitation. He wants to kill all the Uchihas, which would end the Uchiha clan's coup!"
"Kid, your name is Uchiha Izumi, right? Your Itachi is now on a killing spree! Maybe your mother has already died under his sword!"
Obito was provoking Uchiha Izumi with his words, "Guess, before your mother died, would she kneel and beg him?"
"Would Uchiha Itachi, who has decided to exterminate the clan, spare your mother? Hehehe... I guess he wouldn't. This junior is so extreme that even I find it terrifying!"
Uchiha Izumi's expression became somewhat lost.
This truth was indeed too challenging for her.
Although Obito's Genjutsu had long ended, those scenes seemed to still be playing in Izumi's mind.
If she hadn't listened to Shisui's advice and moved her mother away quickly.
Maybe her mother, just like this mysterious man said...
Had already been killed by Itachi?
Drip, drip...
Her tears couldn't stop.
"'Madara-sama', your verbal provocation seems useless. Her eyes still Three Tomoe, not Mangekyou!"
Tobi poked Obito's arm.
And reminded him in a low voice.
Obito: "..."
"Hmph! What a waste of breath! But Three Tomoe is not bad, they are a pair of good eyes!" Obito's face was a bit embarrassed, he jumped down, wanting to take Izumi's life himself.
Whoosh....
"Huh?" A sudden shuriken made Obito pause, he quickly swung his sword to slash.
The sword and the shuriken collided.
Sparks flew.
"I heard everything. The 'truth' you told Izumi, and your actions... I heard it all."
Shisui held a short sword he had picked up.
He had found it on his way here.
From the small wound on his foot, he could tell that he had accidentally been cut by this short knife. Only then did he realize there was a sword under his foot, and he picked up this weapon.
Shisui's expression wasn't ugly, he was just deeply disappointed.
His face was shrouded in the shadows of the night.
"Itachi, I made the wrong bet."
"I've misjudged you."
The palm of Shisui's hand holding the short sword was a bit pale. It was clear that his mood was completely different from his calm tone.
If the handle of this short sword was a little more fragile,
It would have already been crushed by him.
"Itachi..." Shisui raised his head, his eyes seeing nothing, he murmured to himself: "Why did you choose the wrong path, I trusted you so much. I was so sure that you could choose a better path than the one I took, but everything you did tonight made me lose so thoroughly."
"I've lost twice in my life, once was trusting Shimura Danzo too much, and then losing an eye. The second time was trusting you too much, and then betting that eye on you. But what did you do? What path did you choose?"
As Shisui's words fell one by one, the chakra in his body surged wildly, making the gravel at his feet tremble.
The killing intent of Shisui of the Body Flicker began to spread rapidly.
"You two..." Shisui "looked" at Obito and Tobi: "Some time ago, Naruto and the others encountered two members of the Akatsuki, it wouldn't be you two, would it?"
"Did you guys instigate Itachi... or did Itachi invite you?"
Shisui asked expressionlessly: "I think, you won't refuse to answer a blind man's question, will you?"
"Hey hey hey, don't accuse good people! Of course, it was Uchiha Itachi who invited us!"
Tobi responded: "We also 'pay' for our work!"
"...I see." Shisui took a deep breath slowly.
If it weren't for his ominous premonition during the day.
If it weren't for him joining forces with Uchiha Izumi to quickly relocate some of the clan members.
I'm afraid the entire Uchiha clan would have been completely wiped out by that fool Itachi.
Shisui didn't know what Itachi was thinking.
He only knew that Itachi's actions had touched his bottom line, this was not the peaceful solution Shisui had envisioned.
Itachi's actions were no different from the Uchiha coup.
In Shisui's view, the Uchiha clan launched a coup against the Konohagakure high-level, and they would definitely kill many people in the process.
What did Itachi do? In order to prevent this, he actually attacked his own clan members, and he also killed many people in the process.
Isn't this the same path?
"I shouldn't have bet on a 13-year-old boy, his thoughts haven't matured at all, and he has never really understood what I want him to do."
But it's no use regretting it.
Things have already happened, if he wants to stop Itachi in time.
He has to deal with these two guys first.
These two guys are strong!
"Izumi! I'll hold them off, you run back and notify Whitebeard!" Shisui said, "Please tell Pops that the member of the Akatsuki who appeared in the Uchiha clan's residence is the guy who calls himself 'Uchiha Madara'. A few days ago, they both wanted to kill Naruto, Karin, Haku, and Hinata."
"...Okay!" Uchiha Izumi finally came back to her senses, she knew this was not the time to be stubborn.
Although she activated her Three TomoeSharingan in a daze under the stimulus, Uchiha Izumi had no idea how to use this eye.
"Brother Shisui, hang in there!!!"
Just as Izumi turned to leave, Tobi immediately chased after her.
"I can't let three Tomoe Sharingan run away!"
As Tobi and Shisui passed by each other.
He suddenly saw a flash of sword light in front of him.
His arm was thrown high into the air.
"Eh?!" Tobi was very surprised, "Such a fast sword, even though both eyes can't see anything, it can still cut my arm, is it because it felt the air flow when my arm moved? Is this the Shisui of the Body Flicker of Konohagakure?"
What greeted him was not Shisui's nonsense.
Shisui didn't hesitate and slashed again.
Tobi hurriedly leaned back, barely avoiding Shisui's sword, and his severed arm was growing rapidly.
"Hmph, I have to do this kind of thing myself."
Obito pinched the hoarse voice. and snorted coldly.
He decided to personally capture Uchiha Izumi.
But the next second....Obito's pupils shrank slightly.
"Clone jutsu?"
Because he found that the Uchiha Shisui in front of him suddenly changed from one to two, two to four, four to eight.....until Shisui's figure covered the entire street.
In Obito's line of sight, one Uchiha Shisui after another, was rushing straight at him and Tobi.
"Wah wah wah! It's not clone jutsu!"
Tobi's funny scream also came, "Every Uchiha Shisui is real!"
It turns out that when each Shisui rushed up, they cut off a finger from his newly grown arm.
"Shisui of the Body Flicker!" Obito's expression sank slightly.
"So that's it, this is the Body Flicker Jutsu of Shisui of the Body Flicker? So this is not a shadow clone jutsu, what a remarkable genius! It's just a pity.....what can you do without your Sharingan? You're just delaying some useless time."
In this not so spacious alleyway.
Shisui was fighting Obito and Tobi alone!
And this is Shisui who has lost his sight, Shisui can only rely on his own hearing, trying hard to listen to the enemy's position.
Uchiha Izumi heard the fighting behind her, she really wanted to turn back and help Brother Shisui. But she knew better, running to get reinforcements was the best way to make use of herself.
And.....it just so happens that she could run to Itachi's house on the way out of the Uchiha clan's residence.
To rescue Uchiha Sasuke.
Uchiha Izumi didn't know why her chakra was so abundant at this time, her Sharingan had been activated for a full ten minutes or so, could it be that under the strong mental stimulus, she could already control the Sharingan?
"Hmm? Here....."
When she arrived at another place, she found that the scene she could see was also full of corpses.
And she found her own home.
"The window... it's broken..."
Uchiha Izumi found that the balcony window of her home had been shattered, as if someone had forcibly broken in.
"...Itachi, is it really you? Are you really going to kill me and my mother?"
Uchiha Izumi's small hand had clenched into a fist.
The veins on her fair backhand were visible.
She was puzzled.
And angry.
She felt that Uchiha Itachi was not the Itachi she knew, or had she never really understood Uchiha Itachi?
She thought she knew him well, but in reality, she didn't even know what he was thinking.
Uchiha Izumi still had a glimmer of hope, she hoped that the Genjutsu that the mysterious masked man had cast on her was fake, she hoped that the images and sounds in the Genjutsu were made up.
It was this last hope in Uchiha Izumi's heart.
That allowed her to still say the words "Itachi".
"No, please, please don't kill me!!!"
As Uchiha Izumi ran on the road, trying to ignore the bodies, she faintly heard a commotion not far ahead.
"There's a scream!" Izumi was suddenly startled: "Could it be that there are also accomplices of those two masked men ahead? Are there members of the Akatsuki?"
Then, she heard the scream again.
"Damn it!" Uchiha Izumi gritted her teeth: "He's still killing! Damn executioner!!!"
Reason told her to try not to run into the accomplices of that masked man.
But when she heard the painful screams of a child.
Uchiha Izumi couldn't help it anymore.
"You stop right there! Bastard!!!" She suddenly burst out with extraordinary speed, her right hand had already taken out four shurikens from the Ninja Tools bag. She could vaguely see a blurry figure holding a sword in front of her, stabbing a child in the chest with the blade.
Her eyes were so red that they seemed to be surrounded by a faint red glow, and she actually used a Ninjutsu that she had never been able to practice before.
"Fire Release. Phoenix Fire Claw Red!!!"
The flames spewing from her mouth meet with the four shurikens.
Four balls of fire rushed towards the blurry figure in front.
"108 left... huh?" Just as Uchiha Itachi pulled the sword out of the child's body, he saw a fire on his right.
"Water Release. Water Bullet Technique!!!"
Uchiha Itachi also immediately used a Ninjutsu without hesitation.
Four balls of water vapor condensed around his body, the water vapor turned into spiral water columns, rushing towards the four balls of fire.
The fire and water collided, filling the air with a lot of white smoke.
But the next second, Itachi could see four shurikens tearing through the white smoke, rushing towards him at high speed.
He swung his sword in response.
With a crisp "ding-ding-dang" sound, all four shurikens were easily slashed down by Itachi.
At this moment, Itachi finally saw clearly who was attacking him. It was not any member of the guard team, but UchihaIzumi, whose whereabouts were unknown!
At the same time, Izumi also saw clearly who it was that had killed a fellow clansman.
At this moment, the mask on Itachi's face was nowhere to be found.
Perhaps it had been lost in the slaughter.
Uchiha Izumi could clearly see that familiar face.
She was completely stunned.
The kunai that she had just pulled out of her Ninja Tools bag almost slipped from her hand, her hand holding the kunai was trembling: "Itachi... why... why is it really you? Why is it you? Why are you like this?"
"I thought you happened to be not in the Uchiha residence." Itachi's expression showed a slight fluctuation, but soon this fluctuation was thrown behind him: "It seems not... Izumi, you came back after all."
"Everything I do is for Konohagakure, for long-term peace. As long as the Uchiha clan exists for a day, Konohagakure will never achieve peace."
The three tomoe in Uchiha Izumi's eyes were trembling.
Her eyes caught Itachi's attention.
"It seems... the death of the clansmen activated your Three Tomoe, I see hatred for me in your eyes."
Itachi shook the sword in his hand.
"Sorry Izumi, Three Tomoe is too weak compared to Mangekyou."
Both of Itachi's eyes... transformed into the shape of Mangekyou!
The shape of the Mangekyou in both eyes is different!
Because one eye is Shisui's.
The other eye is his own.
In another timeline, he witnessed Shisui's suicide and activated Mangekyou. But in this timeline, he activated Mangekyou Sharingan after killing the first clansman!
