Two Sakura Harunos; The Night of the Clan Massacre (Third update!)
This Sakura Haruno... isn't her.
What the young girl Sakura Haruno, meant was that the pink and tender little girl in front of her was not the same person she was a few years ago.
She's an adult who transmigrated from another world; even if she wanted to disguise herself as a child, there was no need to act like this.
Therefore, there was a flaw in her guess...
The pink-haired girl took a breath.
Is that you?
She asked.
It was written in Chinese, a language I hadn't used in a long time and which felt a little unfamiliar.
The little girl hiding behind Mebuki Haruno didn't react at all.
"Is that you?" she asked again, her voice rising.
She stared intently at her younger self; the latter, startled by her loud voice and piercing gaze, shrank back even further.
"What are you doing to my daughter?" Mebuki Haruno said with a hint of anger. "You broke into my house without permission just to do something so absurd? Get out!"
The girl ignored the scolding from her mother in another world.
The atmosphere in the living room was a bit tense; the little girl was so frightened she was almost crying.
Kizashi Haruno slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and shouted angrily, "You've disturbed my daughter! She's terrified of you! Leave my house, or I'll make things difficult for you!"
Sakura sighed, raised her right hand to her chest and formed a hand seal. Suddenly, three figures appeared beside the three adults of the Haruno family—Sakura's Ice Clone pressed down on their hands.
"Please calm down, I mean no harm," the Ice Clone said. Kizashi Haruno tried to pull his hand away, but found that the clones' power was unbelievably strong, far beyond what a Chunin withstand.
Sakura Haruno crouched down, staring intently at Sakura, who was hiding behind her mother.
He continued urgently, "If you understand, answer me: in your past life you were a man nearing thirty. Stop pretending to be a girl! Answer me, I am you from the future!"
Sakura's eyes remained completely unmoved when she heard her words, as if she didn't understand at all.
Sakura Haruno took a deep breath.
This wasn't an act; she genuinely couldn't understand.
It's finally confirmed. The two share the same biological parents, the same hair, and the same eyes, but not the same soul.
She did not travel back to a world from a few years ago.
Instead, they traveled to the world of the original story!
Sakura Haruno suddenly stood up, and said to the three of them with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, I was presumptuous."
She dispersed her Ice Clone and bowed sincerely to the three of them.
"I'm very sorry... By the way, this girl in your family has the talent of a ninja. She has strong Chakra control and is gifted with Genjutsu and Tsunade's Monstrous Strength Technique. Please train her more..."
"Who are you?" Sakura Haruno's father, Kizashi Haruno, frowned. In his mind, this girl was already considered a powerful monster.
"I am..." Sakura Haruno paused, then smiled and said, "You can call me Tobi. I came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts, I'm really sorry, I can only offer you some advice."
She glanced at the calendar; it was July 10th.
In that world, yesterday was July 9th.
The two sides are exactly six years apart.
Sakura slowly closed her eyes. This day was a bit special. It was the anniversary of Sasuke's parents' death, and he always tried to take a day off on this day...
In other words, tonight is the night of the Uchiha's massacre! What a coincidence...
Sakura Haruno no longer had time to chat with her parents in this world.
Thinking of this, she said urgently, "You will realize I'm right... Please make her strong!"
"We must never tarnish the reputation of Sakura Haruno!"
After saying that, she turned to leave.
"Wait, who exactly are you?" Mebuki Haruno interrupted her; Sakura turned her head and met her gaze.
"You have the same hair as Sakura, the same eyes... Could it be that you..." she asked hesitantly.
"Madam, you've mistaken me for someone else." Sakura Haruno was taken aback for a moment, then firmly denied it, and smiled gently.
Ignoring the others in the room, Sakura Haruno pushed open the door and left; she didn't have much of a relationship with them, Sakura was just a passerby created by chance.
I stepped out of the Haruno Clan's house.
Sakura Haruno could feel the pulling sensation growing stronger, as if it meant she was about to leave!
"I was planning to ask the Third, but it seems I don't have time now..." She looked up at the night sky.
The event is about to happen, or it may already be happening.
The moon is as round as a basin, and its light is as red as blood.
What exactly happened on the night of the massacre?
Since she's about to travel back in time anyway, she might as well be bold and sneak in to take a look...
Sakura Haruno touched the Yin Seal on her forehead, but the energy remained stagnant. During her time recuperating in the village, she had no outlet for her Chakra, so Chakra had accumulated it quickly and already had a considerable reserve.
Frankly speaking, at this time of year in Konoha, the Sannin have left, the old and the young are all in a state of flux, and there is no one in the entire village who can rival her, so there is no one who can stop her!
If she wants to do something.
She took a few quick steps and vanished into the night in Body Flicker Technique. By the time the three members of the Haruno Clan came out, the girl had already disappeared.
Kizashi Haruno Mebuki Haruno a glance.
Zhao cleared his throat, his expression serious. "Honey, you have to believe me, I'm devoted to you!"
While a lighthearted and heartwarming family comedy unfolds at the Haruno Clan.
Sakura Haruno has infiltrated the Uchiha.
Using the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals, she cleverly froze a puddle in the base into an ice block, and used Space-Time Body Flicker Technique to pass through the outer blockade line established by what she didn't know was either the Root or the Anbu.
It was common knowledge by this time that the Uchiha was at odds with the village.
Rumors circulated that the Uchiha was plotting a rebellion, that they were planning a coup, and that they had even colluded with outsiders to attack Konoha; the rumors were so exaggerated that no one knew the truth.
All that is known is that the atmosphere in the village is becoming increasingly tense and eerie.
The Uchiha and the village, who are sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams, seem to be on the verge of a complete break.
However, to draw an analogy, just like in the stock market bull run of the past, when prices rose irrationally, everyone knew that this game of musical chairs would eventually collapse, but no one knew exactly when it would happen—only the big players knew the answer.
In Konoha, everyone knew that something bad would happen to the Uchiha sooner or later, but no one knew exactly when or where. Only the Uchiha themselves, the Third, and Danzo knew that they would launch a coup on July 11th, which was tomorrow.
The time to exterminate the entire clan was chosen to be July 10th.
Before the coup, the Uchiha were most excited.
The Uchiha failed to notice something amiss: through various coincidences and pretexts, including those from the Konoha Military Police Force, all the Uchiha had returned to their base.
All outsiders have been driven out for various reasons.
The base was sealed off by Danzo and his Root, making it extremely difficult for anyone inside to break through the blockade.
The time has come to exterminate the entire clan.
Uchiha Itachi jumped down from a rock—the same rock that Shisui had stood on before he drowned himself.
He's been standing there for six hours.
From the afternoon, Sasuke was seen off; by evening, the sunset was ablaze with fiery red light; and by nightfall, a blood moon hung in the sky.
"It's about to begin..."
Itachi gazed at the sky, where the silver moon seemed to reflect the stillness of Shisui. As night deepened, he knew it was time to act.
"No, it's over."
Everything concerning the Uchiha Clan will end tonight.
Including its people, history, glory, and future.
From this moment forward, everything that Itachi possessed would be destroyed by his own hands.
No longer the pride of the Uchiha or the glory of Konoha.
Rather, they are the sinners of the Uchiha and traitors to Konoha.
He returned to the camp, took out his long sword, and walked to the shrine at the edge of the camp.
This was the place he and Obito had agreed upon.
Itachi waited a moment, then stared blankly at the pond in front of the shrine; then Chakra fluctuation came from behind him, space suddenly distorted, and Obito Uchiha, wearing a mask, appeared behind Itachi.
Itachi gripped his long sword warily, sensing Obito's presence. Without turning around, he said emotionlessly, "Madara Uchiha... you've come."
--At this time, Obito was traveling in the Shinobi World under the name of Madara.
Obito's crimson Sharingan glanced at the long sword in Itachi's hand, and he calmly said, "You're ready... then let's begin."
"The old, women, children, and infants," he said coldly to Itachi, "All must be killed."
The orange-red mask concealed Obito's expression; only his dazzling Mangekyō Sharingan was visible as he stared intently at Itachi.
The Tomoe in Itachi's eyes had somehow transformed into a windmill-like pattern.
He turned his head and looked back at the man who called himself Madara Uchiha.
Everything that's about to happen tonight is orchestrated by him. This man who walks in the shadows.
Conflicts, divisions, and even falling out between a clan and a village.
Itachi gradually unleashed his killing intent.
But he knew he couldn't kill this person. His strength was still insufficient...
And at this point, it's too late to do anything.
Obito Uchiha didn't distinguish whether the killing intent was directed at him or his clansmen.
His gaze shifted from the steed's sword to his eyes.
"Not a single one can be left alive."
The gazes of the three Mangekyō Sharingan intertwined, and Obito's Chakra began to emanate an intense killing intent.
An ominous feeling.
"Using the shrine as a dividing line, I will handle the area south of the shrine, and the area north—" He suddenly stopped.
They both turned their heads at the same time.
Uchiha Itachi and Obito focused their attention on the pond that had suddenly frozen into ice.
