Killing.
Slaughter.
Blood flowed into rivers.
Corpses littered the ground.
From the moment Uchiha Itachi entered the Uchiha Clan, a cold-blooded massacre began.
Middle-aged women buying groceries, young children playing around, Uchiha ninja exchanging greetings... everyone he encountered became a soul beneath his blade.
Bodies lay strewn everywhere, blood flowing together into a pool of crimson.
Killing all the way.
Uchiha Itachi had already cleared out nearly half of the Uchiha Clan.
Of course, Uchiha Itachi had not encountered no trouble. Several Uchiha Clan ninja reacted quickly and were not killed immediately.
But the result was always the same.
One Banshō Ten'in followed by one Shinra Tensei from Deva Path Pain effortlessly killed the Uchiha Clan ninja who had narrowly escaped.
The occasional ninja who managed to flee was blown to pieces by Angel Konan's Explosive Tags.
The Mysterious Masked Man had not made a move, but no one doubted his strength.
Four Kage-level powerhouses striking at once.
The Uchiha Clan was almost completely powerless to resist.
"Itachi..."
Uchiha Shisui knelt halfway atop a roof, his body trembling and his eyes blood-red.
"Why? Why did you help these people slaughter the Uchiha Clan's ninja..."
"Uncle Youjian was so good to you. He often bought you sweets. How could you..."
"Why, why, why..."
"..."
Like a wounded wolf, Uchiha Shisui could only let out pained whimpers.
Suddenly, Uchiha Shisui seemed to think of something. He turned his last hopeful gaze toward Uzumaki Naruto and asked in a trembling voice:
"N-Naruto. No, Lord Uzumaki Naruto, can you save the Uchiha Clan?"
Uzumaki Naruto shook his head. "Don't joke around. There are four Kage-level powerhouses on the other side, and beyond them, the entire Konoha. Do you think I can fight them!?"
Uchiha Itachi, who possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Deva Path Pain,
