Chapter 80 The Eve of the Clan Annihilation! Itachi and Obito's Promise!
In a secluded corner of the outer forest of Konoha Village.
Uchiha Itachi waited in silence.
He knew that person would come.
really.
Not long after, the void became chaotic, spreading out like ripples, and then—
A figure wearing a tiger-skin mask appeared out of thin air.
It was the mysterious man who called himself "Uchiha Madara".
"Uchiha Itachi, are you finally ready?"
He asked the question directly.
Itachi Uchiha did not answer directly.
"Madara Uchiha, I can join forces with you to annihilate the entire Uchiha clan, but—"
"I have a few conditions."
The masked man sneered.
"What are the conditions?"
Uchiha Itachi said in a deep voice, "First, under no circumstances can my younger brother be harmed—"
"Uchiha Sasuke".
"This is the premise of all cooperation."
The masked man's heart skipped a beat.
"It seems your younger brother is your real weakness—"
"However, it's not that I can't understand it."
"My younger brother, Izuna, died at the hands of Tobirama Senju!"
"Very well, I can agree to this, but—"
"You should understand, right? The entire family was slaughtered, leaving only him alive. He might even have witnessed his beloved brother kill all his clansmen, companions, relatives, and even—"
"Biological parents!"
"He'll probably suffer a fate worse than death!"
Itachi Uchiha remained silent.
"I know, but—"
"As long as you're alive, there's still hope."
The masked man suddenly realized: "You want him to hate you to the core, so that his Sharingan's power will grow rapidly, and perhaps one day he'll kill you to avenge his parents and clan, right?"
"Is this the so-called destiny you've set for yourself?"
Itachi Uchiha did not hide anything.
"Perhaps."
"What a twisted guy—"
Even the masked man couldn't help but complain.
It gives off a feeling that even perverts find it perverted.
Uchiha Itachi ignored him and continued speaking.
"The second condition—"
"After slaughtering my entire clan, I will bear all the sins and become a vicious criminal and a rogue ninja of Konoha. I need you to help me find a place to stay."
The masked man said, "It's very simple."
"I can recommend you to the Akatsuki organization."
"The Akatsuki?"
"Yes, that's the perfect place for you."
Although Itachi Uchiha did not know anything about the Akatsuki organization, he could guess from the masked man's tone that it must be a terrifying organization composed of various villains and rogue ninjas.
But it doesn't matter anyway.
"very good."
"The last condition—"
"You are not allowed to attack Konoha Village!"
The masked man frowned.
"Even now, you're still so protective of Konoha?"
"That's truly impressive!"
Uchiha Itachi said, "No matter how the world sees me, I am a ninja of Konoha Village."
The masked man sneered inwardly, but—
"Okay, I can agree to that."
Even Itachi Uchiha was taken aback this time.
"really?"
The masked man said, "Of course, don't worry, since I made a promise with you, I will definitely keep it."
"At least, while you're still in Akatsuki, while you're still alive, I can promise you I won't attack Konoha, but—"
"Once you die, or betray me, that's a different story."
Uchiha Itachi said, "Okay."
"Since you've agreed, let's begin—"
"You only need to deal with one person; leave the rest to me."
The masked man said, "Uchiha Chiyu."
"good."
The masked man sneered, "You underestimate me far too much."
"Whether it's Uchiha Chiba or the entire police force, leave them to me."
"You only need to be responsible for Fugaku Uchiha and his group, as well as the civilians of the Uchiha clan."
Upon hearing his father's name, Itachi Uchiha's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
"it is good."
He knew that the Uchiha clan was now divided into two major forces: the police force led by Chiba and the old-established force led by his father, Fugaku, the clan head.
The masked man meant that the two of them should each deal with one of them.
Since Chiyu is in the police force, the masked man will naturally be responsible for that part.
And the people you are responsible for are your own family members.
include-
Biological parents included!
The masked man gave a sarcastic yet admiring sound.
"As expected of you, Uchiha Itachi. You didn't hesitate at all when you heard that you were to kill your own family and clan members, including your own parents."
"What a terrifying guy."
Uchiha Itachi's eyes revealed no emotion, only numbness, depth, emptiness, and nothingness.
"For the village, for the ninja world, for peace, for the Will of Fire—"
"This is the only option."
"And the only choice is the best choice."
The masked man sneered inwardly, but said nothing.
"Alright, let's leave it at that then—"
"The night of the full moon tomorrow night will be the time for the extermination plan to be carried out."
After saying this, his figure seemed to merge into the void and disappear once again.
Uchiha Itachi looked up at the night sky.
That blood-red moon was indeed close to full, radiating an eerie yet magnificent crimson light.
the next day.
The entire Hidden Leaf Village was in turmoil, and the oppressive atmosphere made it hard for all the ninjas and villagers to breathe.
Although nothing happened, everyone felt a strange sense of suffocation.
The Hyuga clan, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Inuzuka clan, the Aburame clan, and other factions were all carefully concealing their presence, silently observing the inevitable conflict that was about to erupt.
Some of their families have reached an agreement with the Uchiha clan to support only the ultimate victor.
Some simply stood by and watched, waiting for the final outcome.
It was evening, in the Hokage's office.
Itachi Uchiha saw Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others one last time.
He revealed the agreement he had made with the masked man.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and his two companions were skeptical, unable to be sure that the masked bastard would completely keep his promise.
But Itachi Uchiha believed that although that person was evil, he shouldn't have broken the contract.
In any case, things have come to this point, and there's no turning back.
The only option is to fight to the death.
Itachi Uchiha finally confirmed and requested Hiruzen Sarutobi to guarantee Sasuke Uchiha's safety.
Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "Itachi, you chose to sacrifice yourself for the village and for peace, bearing all the sins and becoming the great villain who slaughtered the entire clan. But in my eyes, in the eyes of those who truly know the truth..."
"You will always be a true hero!"
"You're from Konoha Village—"
"The Uncrowned Shadow!"
"So, of course I will do everything in my power to fulfill your request."
"Leave Sasuke to me without worry!"
Itachi Uchiha nodded.
"Please, Hokage-sama."
"I'm going."
Watching Itachi Uchiha's resolute retreating figure, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado exchanged glances.
"Hiruzen, can we trust him?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi coldly replied, "Sure. His naiveté, stupidity, stubbornness, extremism, cold-bloodedness, and ruthlessness are perfectly suited for us to exploit and manipulate!"
"Uchiha Itachi—this person has a deep sense of self-pity and a twisted mentality of self-sacrifice. He is willing, even expects, to be the one who bears the sins, and takes pride in it."
"He did the same thing when he slaughtered his entire clan, and he did the same thing to his own younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke—"
"But to us, he's the best dog!"
"However, even so, we must be fully prepared!"
"I will dispatch ANBU to secretly follow Uchiha Itachi. If anything happens to him, the ANBU will naturally take care of his funeral arrangements!"
"As for the two of you, each will lead the forces of the Sarutobi and Shimura clans, and quietly infiltrate the Uchiha clan's territory to approach the police force, acting as you see fit!"
"However, whether it's the Anbu, or the two of you,"
The power of these two great clans should not be used lightly unless absolutely necessary; otherwise, the Konoha leadership will ultimately bear the guilt of annihilation!
"Let this filthy sin fall upon those two Uchiha clan members themselves!"
"We understand, Hiruzen!"
now.
Outside the Hokage's office window, in the night sky.
The crimson full moon had gradually risen, casting an eerie and menacing light over the entire Hidden Leaf Village!
The final battle has begun!
The massacre will begin tonight!
