The Countdown Ends... Itachi Actually Failed!

[Uchiha Mikoto: "Itachi..."]

[Uchiha Fugaku: "Mikoto, this is the answer Itachi gave. As his parents, let's choose to support our child..."]

[Kurotsuchi: "I'm getting more and more curious about the truth behind the clan massacre..."]

[Iwato: "+1. How did such a huge clan as the Uchiha actually get wiped out...?"]

The footage continued.

Itachi staggered forward weakly,

gradually making his way toward his little brother, one step at a time.

Sasuke also backed away, his face filled with terror.

He quickly pulled out a large number of Explosive Tags and threw them at Itachi.

Itachi raised the Yata Mirror and successfully blocked the attack.

The smoke gradually cleared...

Itachi stood unharmed inside the Susanoo.

He gasped for breath,

his body swaying as he continued toward Sasuke.

His life was like a candle flickering in the wind; he didn't have long to live.

"My eyes... mine..." Itachi said with difficulty.

Sasuke kept backing away,

his eyes full of terror.

There was nowhere left to retreat...

He drew his blade, leaped high into the air, and swiftly thrust it at Itachi.

Itachi raised the Yata Mirror and sent Sasuke flying.

[Uchiha Izuna: "...Awesome!"]

[Ōnoki: "He used that blade to stab the Susanoo..."]

[Shimura Danzō: "Hmph, how stupid. He actually used that blade to stab the Susanoo!"]

[Sasuke Uchiha (adult): "Elder Danzo, you're no exception..."]

[Shimura Danzō: "Would I be stupid enough to do something like that?"]

The footage continued.

Sasuke struggled to get up from the ground,

staring in terror at the approaching Uchiha Itachi.

He first crawled backward on all fours, then hurried to his feet.

But there was a wall behind him, and nowhere left to go.

Itachi raised his bloody hand and reached for Sasuke's forehead.

Itachi opened his mouth to speak, but the people watching the video couldn't hear him clearly.

Sasuke froze.

Itachi poked Sasuke's forehead, as he had intended,

then his life faded away, his bloody hand sliding down Sasuke's cheek.

Itachi had completed his mission, and the Susanoo vanished.

"Thud!"

Itachi's head hit the wall, and he slid down it, falling to one side.

Sasuke gasped for breath,

his eyes full of confusion. He didn't understand what Itachi's final words meant.

Meanwhile,

a small white snake slithered around,

only to be burned by the black Amaterasu from above, and Orochimaru died.

The commentators, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, were also puzzled as they watched, unable to believe Itachi had died just like that.

Rain began to fall from the sky.

The surrounding Amaterasu formed a protective ring, preventing outsiders from entering.

Sasuke leaned against the wall and looked up at the sky, his eyes numb.

He glanced at Itachi out of the corner of his eye.

There was no joy after his revenge. Instead, he felt a little lonely and thought he had done something wrong.

"Thud!"

Sasuke's body gave out, and he too fell to the ground.

The rain kept drizzling down.

"The crow hidden in the darkness will lead the fledgling hawk to spread its wings and soar!"

The footage ended, and white text appeared on the black screen.

[System: "Countdown complete!"]

["Calculating character rewards..."]

["Calculation complete!"]

["Uchiha Itachi has been awarded the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!"]

["Sasuke Uchiha has been awarded the resurrection of his entire family!"]

[Kisame Hoshigaki: "I didn't expect it to end like this. Mr. Itachi, did you see yourself clearly when you died...?"]

[Sasuke Uchiha: "This has to be a lie... Itachi, what did you mean by what you said in the video?!!"]

[System: "Ding! What did Uchiha Itachi say before he died?"]

[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: "Damn, it couldn't have been 'I've taken your eyes,' could it?"]

["Fourth Kazekage Rasa answered incorrectly. As punishment, half his chakra has been deducted!"]

[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: "Damn it, my chakra!!!!"]

[Mizukage Mei Terumi: "Congratulations on Sunagakure's strength being greatly reduced!"]

[Third Kazekage: "Rasa, can you shut up?!!"]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Rest assured, Lord Kazekage, we in Konoha will keep you safe. In return..."]

[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: "I've already..."]

[Orochimaru: "Ahem, ahem..."]

[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: "All right, thank you, Konoha, for your protection!"]

[Sasori: "You useless Orochimaru, coughing all the time. Are you dying?"]

[Deidara: "That useless snake makes me angry just looking at him!!!"]

[Kabuto Yakushi: "You are not allowed to insult Lord Orochimaru!!!"]

In Konoha,

Sasuke didn't waste words and chose to resurrect his entire family.

A golden light appeared high in the sky and shone down on a remote corner: the Uchiha Clan Compound.

The golden light enveloped the bodies of the Uchiha clanspeople, and they miraculously came back to life.

"Holy shit, this system is that awesome?!" Uchiha Setsuna couldn't help swearing.

"Hell yeah! From now on, this is Uchiha Square!!!!"

Uchiha Tekka looked around excitedly.

"Speaking of which, what will the clan head do next...?"

Uchiha Inabi turned to look at Fugaku.

"Mm, let's see what Konoha High Command has to say first..."

Fugaku shook his head, and when he opened his eyes again, they were Mangekyō Sharingan!

[Ōnoki: "You can't be serious. The entire Uchiha Clan has come back to life?"]

[Third Kazekage: "This system is truly powerful..."]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Clan Head Fugaku, I feel deeply ashamed about what happened to the Uchiha Clan..."]

[Uchiha Fugaku: "I hope the Third Hokage can find the Uchiha Clan a good place to settle."]

[Shimura Danzō: "Evil Uchiha, stop dreaming!!!"]

[Hyuga Hiashi: "Our Hyuga Clan still has a vacant plot of land. How about the Uchiha Clan moves there?"]

[Tokuma Hyuga: "Clan Head, what do you mean by this...?"]

[Hyuga elder: "No! We Hyuga are the strongest. How can we live alongside the Uchiha Clan?!!!"]

Among the Hyuga Clan,

everyone looked displeased.

Hiashi cast a cold glance at the stubborn elders.

Someone in a high position naturally needed foresight.

The entire Uchiha Clan had come back to life, and their strength was not to be underestimated. If he didn't seek an alliance now, when would he?

"Everyone, please hear me out..." Hiashi explained his thoughts.

After hearing him, the household elders nodded helplessly.

[Uchiha Fugaku: "Then sorry for the trouble, Clan Head Hiashi..."]

[Hyuga Hiashi: "It's no trouble. The Uchiha and the Hyuga are both among Konoha's top clans!"]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Ahem, ahem... That's excellent. To tell the truth, I feel I owe the Uchiha Clan!"]

[Uchiha Mikoto: "Itachi, how are things on your end?"]

[Uchiha Itachi: "Mom, I... I've already escaped from the Akatsuki, and I'm on my way to Konoha..."]

[Uchiha Fugaku: "Lord Hokage..."]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Effective immediately, Uchiha Itachi's wanted order is revoked, and he is promoted to a member of the Hokage Guard!!!"]

[Utatane Koharu: "I have no objections. This is what Konoha owes the Uchiha."]

[Mitokado Homura: "Itachi has contributed a great deal to Konoha. He deserves this."]

[Sasuke Uchiha: "What are you talking about? Itachi is a murderer!!"]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Sasuke, it's complicated. I'll explain Itachi's situation to you in detail later..."]

(This book isn't about conspiracy theories; it's meant to be lighthearted entertainment!)

(All the characters are good guys, and Danzo is the only villain, so you can all stop arguing!)

(Also... please send some support. I need it to live, everyone!!!)
