Chapter 264

The living room door was opened.

Itachi mustered his courage, gripped his katana with both hands, and prepared to fight his powerful father to the death.

"Dad..."

This was the first time in Itachi's life that he had used this name.

Not my father, nor my dear father.

Instead, he spoke naturally as a family member.

Itachi was overwhelmed with mixed emotions, his thoughts were completely disordered, and he was almost incapable of thinking about anything...

The father and mother sat quietly on the tatami mat, without saying a word.

What will they say next?

How will I fight against myself?

When Itachi thought this...

My father's body suddenly began to tremble and shudder.

Then...

Seemingly having used up all his strength, the father turned around.

That was an expression Weasel had never seen before.

The father's face was ashen, and he looked extremely pained.

In her eyes... was a deep longing and reluctance to part with her child.

"Itachi...!"

The father growled in a pained voice.

"With Sasuke..."

Itachi: "??"

"Run! Run! Run!!!"

Pfft!!

When this sentence is said.

A black arm emerged from the father's eye.

This blow completely destroyed the father's left eye, facial muscles, and bones.

Then.

The hand suddenly swung, expanding the area.

The father's head was sliced open like a cake.

The next second.

Another arm stretched out, and a dark figure jumped out from inside.

"Call...!"

Following closely behind was a red-haired woman with an unusual hairstyle.

"It's finally out! Damn it! 15 years, a full 15 years!"

"..."

Itachi stared at the scene with a bewildered expression.

The mother, splattered with blood, stood beside him, her face filled with terror and completely stunned.

The pitch-black figure that emerged from the corpse dissipated the Chakra emanated from its body, which resembled black flames.

He glanced at the scene.

Upon being glared at like that, Itachi felt a chill run down his spine, and he couldn't muster any thought of resistance.

Let's go.

Amakawa Akito grabbed his mother and the strange woman.

A fierce wind howled.

He brushed past me and then vanished without a trace...

"..."

Itachi remained stunned for a long time.

It grew to the point where the "spots" merged with itself.

He glanced around the room, his gaze lingering on his father's body for a moment, seemingly quite satisfied with the ending.

Then I wondered where my mother had gone.

Then, "Ban" said, "Your brother is back."

"I see..."

Itachi said quietly.

At the same time, I made a decision in my heart.

They would use the Genjutsu "Tsukuyomi" to create a false scene, making it appear as if the father had died and the mother had disappeared.

He completely faked that he had been killed by himself.

Because... that man is simply irresistible to anyone.

If the younger brother finds out the truth and seeks revenge, then... the younger brother will definitely die.

Itachi turned around, his eyes flashing red.

Outside on the street, the younger brother's anxious shouts could be heard...

191. Sequel: Joined Akatsuki, returned to Amegakure.

Not long after...

With a thud.

Sasuke collapsed on the street outside.

"My foolish brother..."

Itachi suppressed the sadness and reluctance in his heart.

"Your hatred for me is far from enough... If you want to kill me, then hate me, loathe me. Then live an ugly life, constantly running away, constantly running away. Just eke out a living. Then, when you have eyes like mine, come before me..."

After saying all that...

Itachi leaped to his feet, tears streaming down his face.

This is only a temporary farewell.

We will meet again someday.

Itachi wiped away his tears and leaped towards the moonlit night...

Entrance to the Uchiha Clan's gathering place.

Itachi appeared here.

The four high-ranking officials are Hiruzen Sarutobi, Mitokado Homura, Shimura Danzō, and Utatane Koharu.

They gathered here with all members of the Anbu and Root.

Neither side moved.

They were locked in a standoff.

"Itachi Uchiha."

A moment later, Utatane Koharu, spoke.

"You..."

"I slaughtered an entire clan to test my own strength."

Just as promised, Itachi spoke.

"I had grown utterly fed up with this foolish race. So I killed them... along with my father and mother."

"..."

A fleeting look of shock crossed the eyes of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other three.

Itachi Uchiha... he actually killed Fugaku Uchiha, Amakawa Akito by himself?!

So, did Fugaku Uchiha hold back, or...?

At this time, the four Konoha High Command were unaware that Itachi was not the only one who massacred the clan; Madara, who acted as an accomplice, was also involved.

"Only my foolish younger brother is somewhat interesting. I spared his life, intending to kill him once he grows up."

Itachi's merciless words.

This sent chills down the spines of all the members of the Anbu and Root present.

"Itachi..."

The most unbelievable one is Kakashi, who once served as Itachi's superior.

Kakashi stood in the crowd, his eyes wide.

Unlike the four Konoha High Command who orchestrated this clan extermination plot.

Kakashi, Uzuki Yugao, and almost all the members of the Anbu and Root were unaware of the specific details.

The deals among ambitious individuals are made only between a handful of people.

So...

Kakashi and the others instinctively believed that Itachi was telling the truth.

"What, you want to lay a hand on me?"

Itachi looked around.

The Mangekyō Sharingan shone brightly.

That glare.

This caused everyone to panic.

Because they never expected that Itachi Uchiha... also possessed that kind of eye.

No wonder he was able to kill his father Fugaku Uchiha.

"I will... be watching you from the shadows..."

He left behind a threatening message, which was actually a warning to the four Konoha High Command, telling them to protect their younger brother.

Itachi then used the Body Flicker Technique to disappear before everyone's eyes.

"Lord Hokage!"

"Sandaime...!"

Exclamations of surprise came from behind.

However... Hiruzen Sarutobi made no move for a long time.

Wait until the weasel has completely disappeared.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had just given the order for everyone to enter the Uchiha gathering place...

And while Danzo plundering the corpses and the Sharingan on them...

Aburame Ryoma, one of his subordinates, sent a report with a grim expression.
