Chapter 261

In the end, we will still end up going back to the old ways.

The Senju clan Senju Konoha could use the banner of suppressing rebels to eliminate these evil Uchiha.

"Don't worry, we have people within the Uchiha. Their every move is under our surveillance..."

Danzo calm and composed, showing no fear whatsoever.

The brothers, Ox-Head Horse-Face, disguised themselves as Kahara Uchiha and were responsible for surveillance within the Uchiha.

Numerous electronic cameras monitor the area surrounding the Uchiha Clan's settlement.

We know perfectly well what they're up to.

"What we need to do now is wait for the Uchiha Clan to bring about their own destruction..."

Moreover, he still had Shisui Uchiha Mangekyō as a trump card.

After returning home.

Fugaku Uchiha sat cross-legged.

"Captain, I didn't expect Kirigakure to actually make peace with us..."

Uchiha Yashiro simply couldn't understand why things had turned out this way.

Without external threats, there is no reason to elect a new Hokage.

At least, as Hiruzen Sarutobi said, it can be dragged on indefinitely.

One trick to delay solves all problems.

"Let's not talk about what's already happened."

Fugaku Uchiha shook his head.

"We'll revise the plan at the regular meeting!"

Fugaku Uchiha had never been so eager for the Hokage Position.

I must... obtain the Hokage position.

At this moment, another "Konoha" appears.

After branding Ringo Ameyuri the Dark Jutsu Formula, Akito planned to continue advancing towards the Hokage Building.

"How amazing..."

Ringo Ameyuri patted her shoulder.

I feel my energy overflowing.

Facing the massive force that Fugaku Uchiha had once again dispatched, Akito simply clenched his fists.

It's just such a simple action.

An immense force then blew out.

The ground cracked open, and a hurricane raged.

Before he even threw a punch, a number of the surrounding puppet ninjas were sent flying.

Then.

The Akito brought his arms together, his interlaced fists slamming forward like a hammer.

Boom!!!

A violent force pounded the air.

At that moment, the air almost solidified.

This is the most primitive, most ferocious, and purest form of Taijutsu.

The white, visible shockwaves caused the waves to surge.

The terrifying force directly displaced all the air, creating a vacuum-like environment.

And the air that was pushed out felt almost tangible.

It's like the explosion of a small tactical nuclear bomb.

First, everything was crushed, then an air shockwave exploded.

It created a rising, semi-circular area-of-effect (AOE) burst effect on the spot.

Boom!!!

Completely devastating.

Whether it's the sea of people or the surrounding buildings.

They were all reduced to ashes by this single blow.

Before them lay a massive crater created by a meteorite impact, completely barren except for soil.

"Alright."

The Akito lowered his arm and cleared the area.

Killing hundreds of people is as easy as eating and drinking.

"..."

Ringo Ameyuri was completely at a loss for words.

This power... it's outrageous!

That's a level that a normal ninja could never reach.

In the entire ninja world, in terms of Taijutsu alone, perhaps only the deceased Third Raikage is worthy of comparison.

Outside.

After the Uchiha Clan's emergency meeting concluded, Fugaku Uchiha returned home.

Things were more terrifying than I had imagined.

Amakawa Akito's strength... has grown to an abnormal level.

He must act immediately and become Hokage to finally stop him from escaping Konoha.

At this moment.

Itachi sat opposite him, also attending the meeting, and looked at his father with a puzzled expression. "Father... why... has your attitude suddenly changed?!"

Itachi didn't understand.

He had clearly already killed Amakawa Akito.

Why didn't my father use fair and square means to obtain the Hokage Position?

Instead, in a routine meeting, in a near-dictatorial manner, the coup plan for tomorrow was directly determined?

"Because I have to do it," Fugaku Uchiha said calmly, arms crossed.

"I don't understand." Itachi shook his head, staring at his father with the same fearless eyes.

Are we really going to push the Uchiha Clan into the abyss?

"Itachi, you just need to make your decision."

Fugaku Uchiha got up, went straight back to his bedroom, and closed the door behind him.

"Mother," Itachi looked to his mother for help.

"..."

Mikoto Uchiha, however, maintained her smile and remained silent.

That's it.

Itachi now fully understood that his mother would go along with his father's wishes.

--Just like any decision she's made before.

In the end, Itachi didn't even know how he left home.

He dragged his heavy body to the dark office.

Danzo sat in a chair, already waiting.

"Ox-Head and Horse-Face have already reported on the meeting's proceedings, Itachi... what do you intend to choose?"

The upturned corners of his mouth seemed to foreshadow the success of some conspiracy.

"I... have decided to complete that mission," Itachi said slowly.

Danzo: "Yeah, I knew you'd say that. Don't worry, don't fret about your brother, we'll handle it..."

The Uchiha coup will begin tomorrow at 3 AM.

Therefore, the clan will rest early tonight.

And Itachi and Danzo's plan.

They will make their move tonight and Uchiha Clan.

"Don't worry about your father. When you confront him, Hiruzen and I will lead the Anbu and Root forces..."

Danzo tapped the table.

At that time.

Four Kage Level ninjas, plus all members of the Anbu and Root.

With Itachi added in, they would be enough to deal with Fugaku Uchiha.

What Danzo didn't mention was... his true trump card against Fugaku Uchiha was "Kotoamatsukami".

Even if it's just creating a momentary opening.

That would also be enough to kill Fugaku Uchiha.

"That's settled then." Itachi turned and walked outside.

"Itachi, thank you for everything you've done for the village," Danzo a smile.

"I... will be Konoha ninja until the day I die." Itachi glanced back at him, then left.

Not long after...

The Uchiha Clan's stronghold, in the nearby jungle.

Itachi met with the figure. "Madara, assist me in the Uchiha Clan."

"Oh?"

Obito Uchiha slowly turned around.

The feud between the two began when Itachi was 8 years old and was escorting the daimyo on a mission.

It was on that occasion that Itachi, whose teammates were killed by Madara, awakened his Sharingan.

Have you finally made a decision?

Obito Uchiha his eyes.

"Alright, I admire you more than your father... So, as agreed, we'll join forces to wipe out the Uchiha Clan, leaving only your younger brother alive... And in return, you must join my organization and serve me!"

The conspiratorial plan, the assistants who assisted in the extermination of the clan, were thus... executed exactly as the ambitious individuals envisioned...

189. The Sword of Kusanagi, Akito vs. Fugaku Uchiha

Sasuke: "Brother, won't you practice Shuriken with me?"

It was already dusk when Itachi returned home.
