The Truth Behind the Clan Massacre

Black Zetsu's judgment couldn't be wrong...

Because it truly knows how difficult it is to control the Ten-Tails.

However, after Black Zetsu revealed that Obito Uchiha already possessed the possibility of reviving the Ten-Tails, it no longer made any sense for Shirou Emiya and the others to stay in Konoha to capture the Nine-Tails.

After all, the Nine-Tails Chakra within Kinkaku and Ginkaku was enough for Obito Uchiha to revive the Ten-Tails. Even if they captured Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, they wouldn't be able to threaten Obito Uchiha.

"Yakushi Kabuto!"

Black Zetsu looked annoyed, and was about to lash out at Yakushi Kabuto: "Why didn't you tell us about Kinkaku and Ginkaku sooner?!"

"Because at that time I was only interested in movies..."

Yakushi Kabuto smiled and explained nonchalantly, "At that time, I wasn't interested in their power, and Lord Orochimaru wasn't satisfied with the corpses I dug up. It just so happened that I could use their corpses to maintain Lord Orochimaru's trust in me."

"I didn't expect that either..."

"How could two insignificant people possibly influence Akatsuki's plans!"

He speaks with reason and evidence, and without hesitation.

No matter how angry Black Zetsu was, it couldn't get out of the problem. It had long known that Yakushi Kabuto wasn't loyal enough to the Akatsuki, so getting angry at this point would be pointless.

"Go back."

Shirou Emiya's fingers pressed into the air.

A pitch-black Space-Time Door appeared before him, and the Wheelchair beneath him slid gently, concealing his figure within the dark Space-Time Door.

"Are you leaving already?"

Deidara toyed with the clay bomb in his hand with some displeasure.

"It looks like there's a big problem..."

Sasori of the Red Sand shook his head, Hiruko followed closely behind Shirou Emiya into the Space-Time Door: "Hurry up and catch up, Deidara."

"Understood, Scorpion!"

Deidara reluctantly followed in Sasori of the Red Sand's footsteps.

The other Akatsuki members followed Shirou Emiya's figure and quickly disappeared into the Space-Time Door. The pressure that had been hanging over the hearts of the Konoha ninjas dissipated the moment the Space-Time Door to Yomotsu Hirasaka disappeared.

"..."

Tsunade's body immediately went limp!

"Lady Tsunade!"

Shizune quickly went to help Tsunade up.

"I must be the most humiliated Hokage in Konoha's history, right?"

Tsunade gave a self-deprecating laugh, glanced back at the village ruins, and a pang of heartache flashed in her eyes. "The enemy destroyed the village, and I, the Hokage, can do nothing..."

"This isn't Lady Tsunade's fault!"

Shizune whispered words of advice to Tsunade, then raised another question, "Lady Tsunade, the crisis has been temporarily averted. Should we now allow Sakura and the other young people to return to the village?"

"..."

Tsunade remained silent for a moment before suddenly speaking, "Send people to the border of the Rain Country to find out what exactly happened to the Akatsuki..."

What happened...?

Obito Uchiha emptied the Akatsuki Base!

They even used this cooperation to trick Konoha Village!

Kakashi Hatake brought back the body of the Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, and reported the incident directly to Tsunade, informing the Hokage about Obito Uchiha of the Tailed Beast and the true nature of the so-called Eye of the Moon Plan.

"Not a weapon of war..."

"Instead, he cast a spell called Infinite Tsukuyomi..."

"This spell is said to put everyone into a dreamlike fantasy world..."

"Obito has now obtained eight Tailed Beasts, and his next goal might be to seize the Nine-Tails from Naruto..."

"We don't need the Nine-Tails inside Naruto..."

Tsunade shook her head, synthesizing the information she had gleaned from the conversation with Shirou Emiya and the others. Her expression was somewhat weary. "Obito Uchiha and Orochimaru already possess the Nine-Tails' Chakra. The Kinkaku and Ginkaku, who once stole a portion of the Nine-Tails Chakra, are now in Orochimaru's hands. He can now revive the so-called Ten-Tails..."

But...

What can they possibly do?

Even if they could stop Obito Uchiha, they could also stop Shirou Emiya and Madara Uchiha. Their immense power was awe-inspiring and filled people with despair.

Tsunade sighed helplessly. She didn't know what lay ahead for the Shinobi World. The Five Great Nations ninja villages, which once held sway over the Shinobi World, seemed powerless at this moment. All they could do now was wait...

"We can't just do nothing!"

The Fourth Raikage, who was visiting Konoha, was forcibly sent away for refuge. After being returned to Konoha Village, he immediately lashed out at Tsunade: "We'd rather die fighting than do nothing!"

"But..."

"Some shadow warriors have already died..."

Tsunade has seen the body of the Fifth Kazekage Gaara, and has already begun sending people to return Gaara's body to Hidden Sand Village.

"Death is nothing to be afraid of!"

"Your personality is too weak, Tsunade!"

The Fourth Raikage angrily cursed at Tsunade!

"Death is indeed nothing to be afraid of."

Tsunade shook her head and offered a rather useful suggestion. "Forget it, let's try to gather more information about the Akatsuki first!"

"Now that Konoha has also been attacked by Akatsuki, other villages probably won't think we're too lucky to have stayed out of Konoha..."

"The interests of all villages have been harmed by the Akatsuki. We must unite all the forces in the Shinobi World that can be united, and work together to find a way out..."

Anyway...

"A single village cannot possibly defeat the Akatsuki."

"Regardless of the outcome, let's at least share information about Akatsuki..."

The presence of at least the Fourth Raikage symbolizes the attitude of Hidden Cloud Village, and together with Konoha's fixed ally Hidden Sand Village, they can barely gather the strength of three villages.

Hidden Stone Village and Hidden Mist Village...

Tsunade could only hope that they would prioritize the bigger picture.

The Shinobi World is now divided into three camps: the Akatsuki, led by Shirou Emiya and Madara Uchiha; the traitors led by Obito Uchiha; and the ordinary ninjas led by the Five Great Nations ninja villages. Ironically, the Five Great Nations ninja villages seem to be the weakest of the three camps.

The base of the Akatsuki.

Shirou Emiya waited at the Akatsuki for a day.

The group of people then met Madara Uchiha, who looked refreshed and energetic.

Madara Uchiha had just fought with Orochimaru Senju, the First Hokage, who had Impure World Reincarnation Orochimaru using Edo Hashirama Senju. When he received news from Obito Uchiha and had to rush back to the Akatsuki Base, he seemed to be in a good mood.

This person...

There's a problem to some extent.

"I just suppressed Hashirama."

When Madara Uchiha met Shirou Emiya, his first action wasn't to inquire about the seriousness of the situation, but rather to cheerfully recount his battle with Shirou Emiya Hashirama Senju: "Indeed, only a battle with Hashirama is truly enjoyable!"

"..."

Black Zetsu's face seemed to darken even more.

Let's get down to business!

What use is Hashirama Senju now?

"..."

Shirou Emiya nodded seriously, seemingly agreeing that Madara Uchiha's ability to suppress Hashirama Senju was commendable.

"Alright."

"Let's get down to business."

"Our plan encountered a slight mishap..."

Black Zetsu's expression was grim, and he spoke in a somber voice about the problem they faced, "Obito Uchiha and Orochimaru possess a portion of the Nine-Tails 'Chakra, and they could revive the Ten-Tails at any time. We must act quickly..."

Where's Sasuke?

Madara Uchiha glanced at the crowd with some surprise.

Among the Akatsuki members, it seemed that one person was missing: Sasuke Uchiha, whom he had personally raised.

"There's been a slight problem with Sasuke."

A White Zetsu Clone explained the course of the Brothers' War, Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, before revealing the outcome. "There might be more to the story of Itachi Uchiha than Obito. Obito claimed to know the truth and took Sasuke with him before leaving..."

"That kid's going to fall for it..."

Madara Uchiha simply did not believe that Obito Uchiha would genuinely tell Sasuke Uchiha the truth out of kindness; he even suspected that Obito Uchiha was trying to deceive Sasuke Uchiha.

"A mistake is a mistake."

"Mistakes will eventually be corrected."

Shirou Emiya didn't take Obito Uchiha's attempt to trick Sasuke Uchiha to heart; he had already prepared for the problems Sasuke Uchiha might encounter.

In fact.

Obito Uchiha's actions could hardly be described as deception.

For a man who once participated in the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre, Obito Uchiha's words largely revealed the truth about the Uchiha Clan Massacre, which Orochimaru happened to possess, as he could corroborate the information about the Past Hokage.

Especially...

Among them is the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, who can testify to this.

In order to deal with Madara Uchiha, Orochimaru personally resurrected four Hokage using the Impure World Reincarnation Madara Uchiha. However, he suffered no losses and safely led the group of Hokage back to the Kamui Dimension.

Witnesses of the past...

This would just be a good opportunity for Obito Uchiha to lure Sasuke Uchiha.

"Itachi has always loved you."

"Back then, the Uchiha Clan clashed with the Konoha High Command, escalating to the point of a coup. The Konoha High Command gave Itachi a choice: kill the entire Uchiha clan, including your parents, in exchange for allowing you, his younger brother, to be the sole survivor..."

"So that you can live..."

"Itachi agreed."

"Third..."

Sasuke Uchiha subconsciously looked at the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, who Impure World Reincarnation Past Hokage.

"..."

The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and others couldn't help but look at him.

It's true.

Sarutobi Hiruzen could not deny this.

From the Hokage's perspective, he cannot deny Itachi Uchiha's sacrifice.

In particular, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, was a witness to the Uchiha Clan Massacre. He knew all the details and the truth, and he revealed the whole story of the conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha Clan.

Include...

The death of Shisui Uchiha.

Also includes...

Itachi Uchiha's career Double Agent.

This also includes...

The Blood Moon Massacre, in which Itachi Uchiha voluntarily carried out the mission to exterminate his clan.

"..."

At this moment, the taut string in Sasuke Uchiha's mind snapped.

In the memory of this sixteen-year-old youth, eight years were spent striving for revenge, and the deep-seated hatred of his entire clan constantly put him under immense pressure.

However...

When the truth is revealed...

The pressure on this sixteen-year-old youth did not disappear; it seemed as if he had taken on an even heavier burden, because he was able to survive because his beloved brother had killed all his clansmen, and he also bore the infamy of killing his parents and clansmen.

Own...

That was the root cause of the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre.

Sasuke Uchiha sat on the steps of the Kamui Dimension, two lines of tears slowly streaming down his face. He no longer knew where his life should go from here.

"Sasuke."

"Don't be confused about this."

"What you should do is inherit Itachi's will."

"Those two guys, Madara Uchiha and Shirou Emiya, are too arrogant to understand Itachi's love for you. They just want to use you to obtain the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and thus awaken the Rinnegan, which is why they've been instigating you brothers to fight..."

"But..."

"The power of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan..."

"Itachi had prepared this for you all along."

Obito Uchiha coldly invited Sasuke Uchiha, confident he could persuade his kinsman, "Stand with me, Sasuke, let's create a new world together, a world where Itachi can live forever, a new world where the Uchiha still exists..."

"In that world..."

"You never have to look back on this past again."

You will have the life you truly want.
