A large number of Uchiha clan shinobi rushed out of their hos, only to be stunned by the scene before them.
Blood! Fresh blood! Blood everywhere…
Several corpses of their clansn lay sprawled across the street, blood flowing from their necks, staining the ground.
Following the trail of corpses, they spotted a man in a black cloak wearing an orange tiger-striped mask.
He had just walked out of a house, and fresh blood still dripped from his blade. With each step he took, he left a bloody footprint.
The Uchiha shinobi's eyes instantly turned red as they roared in rage and charged at him.
"I'll kill you, you bastard!!"
However, the masked man—Tobi—showed no concern. He rely turned his head slightly, surprised by the flas rising in the distance.
"That direction… that's Konan's area. Has she already been exposed?"
Returning his attention, Tobi looked at the Uchiha shinobi who had just slashed at him but stumbled back in confusion. His face turned grim.
"I clearly hit you… but how did I not hit you?"
The words made no sense. If he hit him, how could he not have?
But that was truly how he felt—his blade had passed cleanly through the man's body, and yet, there wasn't a scratch.
As if he had sliced through air.
Of course, Tobi didn't explain anything. He simply stepped forward and slashed the shinobi's throat.
"Urgh…"
The Uchiha shinobi clutched his wound in despair, unable to stop the bleeding. His consciousness quickly faded, and he died there at the street's edge.
"I need to speed things up…" Tobi muttered to himself.
Stepping over the corpse, his figure seed to flicker like a ghost as he passed through the door of another house and began a fresh round of slaughter.
At the sa ti—
The Uchiha compound was in complete upheaval.
Countless shinobi stared at the strewn bodies, bellowing in rage:
"Damn it, who is it!?"
"Soone has infiltrated our Uchiha clan…"
"It was Itachi! I saw him—he slaughtered an entire household…"
"There's another with orange hair—aaaah!!"
…
Chaos filled the compound.
The Uchiha shinobi quickly gathered together and launched a collective assault on the four intruders.
In an instant, fire and iron clashed under a sky of roaring flas. Ninjutsu flared across the battlefield.
For Uchiha clan mbers, learning ninjutsu was the easiest thing.
As long as one awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, one could easily copy other people's ninjutsu and master it to perfection.
In the original story, Kakashi was known as the Copy Ninja, said to possess over a thousand jutsu.
But for the Uchiha, as long as they had the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, learning a thousand jutsu was nothing out of reach.
And now, within the Uchiha clan, there were easily over a hundred such individuals.
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu! (Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!)"
"Katon: Ryūen Hōka no Jutsu! (Fire Style: Dragon Fla Song Jutsu!)"
"Fūton: Reppūdaibakufu no Jutsu! (Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!)"
More than a dozen Uchiha with Three-Tomoe Sharingan released raging flas from their furious, blood-red eyes.
Others used Wind Release, combining with the flas to create composite-style jutsu.
From afar, it looked like a forest fire sweeping across the land, an inferno set to consu the entire compound.
And the one facing all of this was just a cold-eyed man with dark pupils.
Facing the overwhelming flas, Tendo Pain rely extended his hand and said in a detached voice:
"Shinra Tensei. (Almighty Push)"
An invisible repulsive force exploded from his body.
In an instant, the surging white light repelled the incoming flas.
The dozen or so Uchiha with Three-Tomoe Sharingan widened their eyes in horror.
"Impossible, how did he block it!?"
"That wasn't ninjutsu—is it a Kekkei Genkai?"
"His eyes! Look at his eyes, they're purple and ripple-like…"
"Those are Rinnegan! The legendary eye technique, said to rival our Sharingan and the Byakugan…"
"Damn you! Why are you invading the Uchiha compou—!"
Regardless of their screams, Tendo Pain ignored them. He coldly extended his other hand.
"Banshō Ten'in. (Universal Pull)"
Invisible gravity seized one of the Uchiha.
He didn't even have ti to resist before he was pulled directly in front of Tendo Pain.
"Boom!"
His body collided with a burst of repulsive force.
In one mont of pull and push, the sheer force crushed his internal organs. Blood gushed from his mouth, and he died instantly.
"Fire fire!!!"
The remaining Uchiha scread, agony flashing across their eyes.
Tendo Pain didn't even glance at the corpse beneath his feet. He looked toward the first outbreak of fire and murmured coldly:
"I need to pick up the pace."
As he spoke, another figure with Rinnegan appeared beside him, just as cold and expressionless.
This new Pain made no hesitation—he slamd both hands on the ground.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu! (Summoning Jutsu!)"
Boom!
A cloud of white smoke burst forth.
Four more Pains appeared, all wearing the sa cold expression as they faced off against the Uchiha.
…
"Father… is it you?"
Itachi looked toward the direction of the first firelight, then turned away indifferently.
To him, nothing could sway his decision. Not even family.
He would kill them with his own hands.
Gripping his bloodstained blade, he stepped forward to face a group of furious and grieving Uchiha shinobi.
"Itachi, why are you doing this?! Did the Hokage brainwash you?! We are your clan, your family—!"
One of the shinobi shouted as he charged at Itachi.
Itachi's expression remained calm. He only whispered:
"Mangekyō Sharingan."
His Three-Tomoe Sharingan morphed into a swirling pinwheel. An invisible wave rippled from his eyes.
"Argh!"
The blade flashed.
The Uchiha shinobi's throat was slit. Blood spilled from his mouth as he stamred:
"Mangekyō… Sharingan…"
Within the Uchiha bloodline, the Mangekyō Sharingan was a crushing evolution, far above ordinary Sharingan.
Itachi didn't pause. He continued slicing through one clansman after another.
…
"Flas… who?!"
From above, wings of white paper spread behind her like an angel.
Konan's eyes burned with fury as she flew toward the rising fire.
She was angry—because the plan had been thrown into disarray.
Their original plan wasn't to launch a direct assault yet.
They were to silently eliminate Uchiha mbers one by one, then wipe out the remnants in one strike.
But now, the mont they began moving, flas shot into the sky and alerted the entire compound.
This caused the Uchiha to rally quickly and mount a coordinated counterattack.
And these were no ordinary foes—they all had Three-Tomoe Sharingan. None of them would be easy to defeat.
Even with all four of them working together, it was possible they'd suffer serious losses or even have the whole plan fall apart.
And the source of the flas… was in her sector.
Soon, Konan stopped, flapping her wings uncertainly as she saw the figure at the heart of the fire.
"You… who are you? You're not from the Uchiha clan… and you're standing in the flas…"
A deep sense of dread surged through her heart.
