Inside the Uchiha clan,
In the house of Clan Leader Fugaku, the lights were on, creating a warm atmosphere.
"Itachi, you're back!" Fugaku Uchiha looked at Itachi. At this mont, he was unusually silent, his eyes filled with an unreadable expression as he gazed at his son.
"Father, I'm afraid I have returned," Itachi Uchiha nodded, but his tone was cold.
However, at this mont, his eyes showed a hint of emotion.
His father was the last obstacle standing in his way. He had already made up his mind to kill him first, ensuring that he could eliminate everyone in the clan smoothly.
"Speak. Are you here representing the Uchiha clan or Konoha?" Fugaku Uchiha's expression showed no emotion, his gaze steady as he looked at his son.
In truth,
From the mont Root ninjas surrounded the Uchiha clan this morning, he had already guessed the outco.
There was a traitor among them!
And yet,
The closest person to the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was his own son, Itachi Uchiha.
Thinking back on Itachi's unusual behavior, even Fugaku, despite his intelligence, had begun to suspect sothing.
"Representing Konoha!" Itachi Uchiha looked at his father, swallowed, and with difficulty, managed to speak these words, which felt as heavy as carrying a thousand-pound burden.
After speaking, his body relaxed slightly.
"Heh... it seems that this coup is dood to fail. Even my own son is siding with Konoha!" Fugaku Uchiha gave a bitter smile, his voice filled with shock. "Hiruzen Sarutobi, I have lost to you after all!"
Fugaku Uchiha's face was filled with helplessness.
"You haven't lost; it's just that I chose a different path," Itachi Uchiha lowered his head, not daring to look at his parents.
"Tell , what mission did the Third Hokage give you?" Fugaku Uchiha paused for a mont, then asked.
But by the ti he asked, he seed already drained.
It was as if he didn't even want to hear the answer anymore.
"The Third Hokage told to destroy the Uchiha clan, and he will let Sasuke live peacefully in Konoha!" Itachi Uchiha said slowly, but the more he spoke, the heavier the air in the room beca.
Destroy the whole clan!
Fugaku Uchiha's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Sarutobi Hiruzen, you are ruthless. You destroy the entire Uchiha clan and make Itachi the one to carry out the mission!"
At this mont,
His anger had no outlet. All his frustration turned into a single unwilling sentence. His plans had ultimately been defeated by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"This is my decision!" Itachi Uchiha looked at his father. "If I don't do it, the village will. I am willing to bear all the bla alone."
"Bla? If you don't do it, they won't do it!" Fugaku Uchiha muttered, looking at his clever son. He knew his son was smart and understood the situation, but in the end, he chose to stand with Konoha?
There was no need for further explanation. He looked at Itachi and asked, "So, you found first?"
"Yes, Father, you are the biggest obstacle to the clan's destruction. Only if I kill you will the plan succeed." Itachi said these words without knowing how they ca out. But after saying that, his face beca serious again. "Father, please act."
He had decided to kill his father first because in the Uchiha clan, his only opponent was his father.
In the battle between Mangekyō Sharingan, he would lose.
As long as he killed his father, there would be no obstacles to the clan's destruction.
"Do it? I won't fight my own son," Fugaku Uchiha said as he looked at his son with pity, then slowly turned around. "Kill and continue your mission."
This ti, Fugaku gave up all the clan mbers for the sake of his two sons!
Once the clan mbers were gone, his two sons could live, and Sasuke could grow up safely.
"Father..." Itachi Uchiha trembled as he gripped the sword in his hand.
Itachi's mother, Mikoto Uchiha, was sitting beside Fugaku, softly muttering, "Itachi, we understand you."
"Father, Mother..." Itachi's voice shook. Even so, he raised his sword.
"Itachi, promise ... Sasuke will be entrusted to you!" Fugaku said, looking at the still raised sword. "Don't be afraid. This is the path you've chosen. Let it start with . Even if our choices are different, you will always be my greatest son!"
"And the pride of the Uchiha clan!"
"Kill , and complete your mission."
Fugaku was speaking passionately, even trying to comfort Itachi.
There was no attempt to justify the Uchiha clan mbers about to die, nor did he suggest that Itachi should show rcy. He simply threw away any thoughts of the brothers who had fought for him.
"Father. Mother." Uchiha Itachi shed two tears, the last words he said.
The long sword in his hand fell!
Blood splattered everywhere.
The entire room grew eerily silent.
At the sa ti, tears of blood flowed from his eyes as his Sharingan automatically shifted into the Mangekyō form. It wasn't his first ti activating it, but this ti, it hurt more than when he faced Shisui's death.
The sword was sheathed.
Itachi wiped away the tear from his eye and turned to walk outside.
Decisive. Resolute.
Since the mont he killed his own parents, he had no way back.
He had to kill the entire clan.
"Heh, I was hoping to see a father-son Mangekyō Sharingan battle, but instead... it's a scene of fatherly love!" Obito, disguised as Akatsuki's "Madara," couldn't help but mock Fugaku as he walked out.
To his surprise, Fugaku did nothing when he learned that his son was going to wipe out the entire Uchiha clan. He allowed Itachi to kill him without resistance.
His tone was cold.
Sowhat disheartened.
"Are you done talking?" Itachi, with his Mangekyō eyes, glared at Obito and kept walking. "Follow ."
Obito sensed the heavy killing intent coming from Itachi and wisely chose not to provoke him further.
He followed Itachi out of the mansion and walked ahead.
"Where to next?" Obito asked, glancing at Itachi.
"Let's start by killing a few old n, then head to the Uchiha Police Force Division!" Itachi said, leaping over to the courtyard of the Second Elder's residence next door. "Let's begin here!"
As he spoke, he drew the bloodstained long sword from his waist.
"Who?"
Uchiha Itachi didn't hide his movents. As soon as he entered the yard, soone noticed. The Second Elder, whose old body appeared in the courtyard, looked at Itachi with a face full of murderous intent. His wrinkled face showed a look of surprise.
"Itachi? What is the aning of this?"
As he spoke, he noticed the bloodied sword, and a sense of ominous foreboding crept into his heart.
