Facing the emotional Fugaku, the tightly wrapped companion next to Menma acted according to the predetermined plan.
Under the mask, the newly acquired Three Tomoe Sharingan turned suddenly, and the powerful Genjutsu instantly pulled Fugaku into the illusion.
Fugaku frowned and instinctively wanted to break away from Genjutsu, but the picture that appeared in front of him made him freeze in place.
...Shisui?!
In the picture, Fugaku immediately recognized the identity of this mysterious man. The genius Uchiha who disappeared suddenly, at this moment, in the memory constructed by Genjutsu, he clearly saw the whole process of Shisui being rescued by Menma after falling off the cliff.
What's even more shocking is that he also witnessed the truth of the entire "genocide" operation - no, to be precise, it was a carefully planned scam.
Create life? What ability is this? Some kind of Kekkei Genkai?
It was clearly shown in the illusion that Itachi invited the leader of the [Jhin] organization to help exterminate the clan, and this mysterious man secretly deceived Itachi.
Fugaku saw that the dove Uchiha tribesmen were disguised as suspended animation by a power that could create life, and the real hawk members were executed by Menma...
[Jin] The organization's actions? Itachi... was he taking advantage of him?
Complex emotions flooded into Fugaku's heart.
The first thing that emerged was a sense of relief - Uchiha Clan was not really destroyed, and most of the clan members were saved.
Immediately afterwards, the heavy reality hit my heart again. Those tribesmen who were rescued may never be able to return to Konoha. [Jin] The organization will never let them back easily.
I, Clan Head... almost killed the entire clan with my own hands...
Fugaku's clenched fists were shaking slightly. The original fierce fighting spirit had long since dissipated, replaced by deep regret and self-blame. He lowered his head, and his whole figure seemed to have aged ten years suddenly.
Itachi noticed something strange about his father. She looked warily at the tightly wrapped man next to Menma - was it Genjutsu? What on earth did father see in Genjutsu?
Menma's voice sounded at the right time, breaking the silence. "You probably want to revitalize your sister Uchiha Clan..." His tone was a bit playful.
"Isn't it too heavy to put such a heavy burden on a girl's shoulders?"
"Now Uchiha Clan, even if you let your parents go, it won't affect your plan. Or... are you determined to attack your biological parents?"
"... This is different from what we agreed to do." Itachi's voice was horribly deep, and the Tomoe in Sharingan slowly turned, "You are obviously only responsible for annihilating other Uchiha clan members."
The next moment.
"Ugh!"
Fugaku suddenly arched his body, and a heartbreaking pain came from his abdomen. The uncontrollable black flame ignited on the Clan Head suit without warning, and the fabric turned to ashes the moment it came into contact with the flame.
[Amaterasu]
Blood and tears flowed from Itachi's eyes, and the ominous black flame was released from this Mangekyo Sharingan. The flames wrapped around Fugaku like gangrene on the bones, first burning through the abdomen, and then began to burn the internal organs. Fugaku knelt on one knee, big beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
"You are really extreme." Seeing the sudden attack, Menma's voice turned cold.
"You have crossed the line, [Jhin]. The truth must be buried in darkness."
"Stop it! Itachi!"
A shrill cry pierced the night sky. Mikoto Uchiha rushed out from the street corner, and the hem of his kimono was blown away by the wind caused by the running. The mother's face showed that she had rushed from home. She never expected that she would witness her daughter murdering her husband.
But in the next second——
"Boom!"
The same black flame exploded on Mikoto. The woman who had retreated to the front line suddenly froze in place, and the flames began to spread from her chest.
So... didn't you even let yourself go?
Mikoto staggered and fell to her knees, the burning pain making her eyes black. As her vision gradually blurred, she saw the tears falling down her daughter's face shining brightly in the moonlight.
The tears were quickly dried by the night wind.
When Itachi looked up again, there was only a chilling determination in his eyes. The air wave launched by Body Flicker Technique lifted up the fallen leaves on the ground. When Menma tried to stop him again, there were only a few dead leaves swirling and falling.
She wants to complete the last task - to meet her sister.
"How could... Itachi... how could she become like this?!"
Shisui's voice was filled with tremors that could not be concealed. He stared at the direction in which Itachi disappeared. He could not understand it anyway - it was obvious that the plan could be implemented, it was obvious that the Dove Faction had been rescued, it was obvious... there was no need to reach this point.
But Itachi chose the most extreme way.
It's not a threat, it's not an accusation, it's a silence.
Even to his own mother.
"... She really did an absolute job on the trolley problem."
Menma did not respond to Shisui's shock, but just walked towards Fugaku Uchiha who was lying in a pool of blood. Amaterasu's black flames were still burning, and Fugaku had passed out from the severe pain. The flames were eating away at his body, making a subtle "sizzling" sound.
"Drag Mrs. Clan Head over here." Menma's voice was calm. "Be careful not to touch those flames."
Shisui suddenly came to his senses and immediately understood Menma's intention - he wanted to save people!
Without asking any more questions, he stopped Water Body Flicker at the street corner, carefully avoiding Amaterasu's remaining flames, and dragged Mikoto, who was also burned by the black flames, to Menma's side. The woman had fallen into a coma, and there were still wet tears on her pale face.
Now, the two Uchiha people who were burned by Amaterasu were lying side by side in front of Menma.
Next, is the key. Behind Menma, two illusory figures that only he can see slowly emerge...
"The scene may be a little bloody. It's best not to watch it. It's up to you whether you want to watch it or not."
Before he finished speaking, Golden Experience behind him suddenly waved his fists, and the bright life energy poured out like a galaxy, hitting the broken bodies of Fugaku and Mikoto.
"Give birth to a new life."
In an instant, the internal organs that had been burned away by Amaterasu began to sprout strange vines. Emerald green vines twine around the blooming pure white flowers, spreading tenaciously under the burning black flames. Menma's Kunai flashed cold light, accurately cutting off the stem connected to the flame - finally, Amaterasu was completely separated from the two bodies.
However, the crisis has not been resolved.
Fugaku, who had lost most of his internal organs, turned pale quickly, and Mikoto's breathing became imperceptible. Golden Experience immediately continued to inject life energy, and the halo enveloped the two people, barely maintaining the fire of life that was about to be cut off.
The broken vines were completely reduced to ashes in the black flames. As the last trace of combustibles disappeared, the Amaterasu fire, known as "the target will never be extinguished until it burns out", finally dissipated unwillingly in the night sky.
That's it now!
"Crazy Diamond!"
Azure's stand suddenly appeared, and his fists burst out with astonishing power of recovery.
Shisui has never seen such a strange scene. The plant remains that had been reduced to fly ash actually reassembled in the air. The vines twisted and squirmed, gradually restoring fresh internal organs.
What's even more shocking is that, as if being pulled by invisible forces, these organs returned to the two people's bodies, accurately filling the burned holes, and even the burn wounds began to slowly heal.
This kind of power...
Shisui's Sharingan turned wildly, trying to analyze the scene in front of them that was beyond common sense. Just when the repair was about to be completed, Menma suddenly stopped.
It's not the time to reveal his abilities yet... He stared at the two unconscious people and said silently in his heart, I'm sorry, but I can't completely cure you yet. When this matter is completely over, I will definitely let you return to your original state.
In the end, although Fugaku and Mikoto's breathing was weak, they finally saved their lives. The faint color of blood appeared on the pale face, proving that this shocking miracle of life had indeed happened.
"You... really saved them."
Shisui's voice was trembling. He stared at the Fugaku couple who were breathing steadily on the ground. Those abilities - repairing wounds and giving life - were so full of hope and gentle power.
Through the holes in the mask, Shisui vaguely captured the emotions flashing in Menma's eyes. Is that guilt? Why? It was obviously him who took back these two lives from Grim Reaper, why did he still look like this?
"Okay, Shisui." Menma suddenly turned around, "It's time to go, our mission is not over yet."
"Mission?" Shisui was startled, "What else is needed..."
The words stopped abruptly.
This time, he saw it clearly - under the mask, the looming eyes were filled with undisguised murderous intent. Let Shisui tighten his body unconsciously.
"Root's rats... have lived in the shadows for too long."
The cry of Crow was heard in the distance, and the moonlight shone on Fox Mask, reflecting the cold light. "This time, for Sharingan, the old dog will crawl out of the mouse hole himself."
"[Darkness of Shinobi]Danzō Shimura——"
When the last syllable fell, Shisui seemed to see countless innocent souls wailing behind Menma. Those Sharingan who were poached, those innocent people who were sacrificed, and...Shisui's own right eye that was taken away.
"It's time to put aside his rotten ambitions and his miserable times-"
"Buried together."
