" Itachi Uchiha, I think you should have heard the phrase 'blood for blood'."
Uchiha Nan stared intently at Itachi Uchiha, his deep voice making Itachi Uchiha feel extremely tense, as if facing a formidable enemy. He swallowed hard, pondering how to escape.
Kisame, standing next to Itachi Uchiha, had no intention of sitting idly by and waiting to die.
Uchiha Nan, you are indeed very strong!
But I am Kisame Hoshigaki, known as the Tailed Beast without a tail. I possess a massive amount of Chakra comparable to that of Tailed Beast, and I also wield powerful Water Release. My hands are covered in blood.
As an S-rank rogue ninja, he had already endured countless trials and tribulations; how could he possibly surrender so easily?
" Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
Kisame Hoshigaki's Hand Seals at an incredibly fast pace, drawing the attention of those around him.
This guy's hand speed is amazing!!
And... how can Chakra be so enormous?!
"This guy is really strong."
Tobirama Senju's face showed shock as he looked at the man who looked like a shark. Even in his own time, there were few ninjas with such a shark-like face. The Chakra within this man's body was as vast as that of a Tailed Beast... Although he couldn't compare to his older brother's freakish chakra, he was still truly terrifying.
If Uchiha Nan hadn't been there, Tobirama Senju would have already made a move to capture this dangerous guy. As a ninja specializing in Water Release, he knew very well just how wide Kisame's attack range was.
Kisame Hoshigaki moved with incredible speed, his belly already swollen, and then he spewed out an immeasurable amount of water towards Uchiha Nan. Many Konoha ninjas retreated, trying to escape the range of this powerful Water Release.
Rumble...
A massive flood surged towards Uchiha Nan.
"This is none of your business!"
Shinra Tensei!!
Uchiha Nan stood motionless, then suddenly raised one hand towards Kisame. A massive and invisible repulsive force suddenly appeared, like a shockwave, repelling the surging water in front of him. The ground shattered instantly, and the immense power struck Kisame, sending him flying.
"Bang!"
Kisame felt himself struck by an unknown force, his body flying through the water before crashing heavily to the ground some distance away. Several of his ribs were broken, and he was spitting out blood. He struggled to get up and continue fighting, but his injuries were too severe, and he lost the ability to fight. He eventually collapsed to the ground.
"So strong!"
The surrounding ninjas stared wide-eyed, their faces showing shock.
What kind of power is this?
That's absolutely terrifying!!
Such terrifying destruction could be caused in an instant; the atmosphere was shaking, the earth had been reduced to fragments, and fear involuntarily arose in people's hearts—the innate dread that ants have for gods.
Uchiha Nan, the invincible warrior!!
"Alright, I've gotten rid of the annoying Insects."
Uchiha Nan's face was cold and his voice was indifferent. This year, he was determined to seek justice for his clansmen who had died in this world.
"You want revenge on me, huh..."
"Come on then."
With a strained expression, Itachi Uchiha spoke, realizing the immense pressure Uchiha Nan was exerting on him. There was a significant difference in their abilities, and he feared he couldn't win.
Between breaths...
Itachi Uchiha's gaze Hiruzen Sarutobi in the crowd. Hiruzen Sarutobi stood there, his face filled with sorrow, hesitant and undecided. Itachi's true identity was that of Konoha Itachi Uchiha...
Should I step forward and reveal the truth at this point?
If he doesn't speak up, Itachi Uchiha will definitely be beaten to death today. But if he does speak up, Uchiha Nan is still angry, and might add fuel to the fire, ultimately turning the tables on him... Ugh... What a dilemma!
"To take revenge on you?"
You don't deserve it!
"If I were in Konoha, I would have killed someone like you long ago. I'm here to seek justice for the Uchiha who died."
Uchiha Nan didn't rush to make a move. Today, Itachi Uchiha was doomed. Killing Itachi Uchiha directly would be too lenient on him. He had to be defeated on the level of his mind and will.
" Hiruzen Sarutobi, stop hiding."
"You know perfectly well about the Uchiha Clan Massacre. Since there are so many spectators here today, and that ingrate Itachi Uchiha is still alive..."
"Why not expose everything you and Shimura Danzō did today?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression grew increasingly grim, and all eyes instantly focused on him.
The night of the Uchiha's massacre.
The truth is that Konoha colluded with internal and external forces to slaughter the Uchiha, sparing no one, from the very elderly to infants.
A few seconds later.
He still stepped out from the crowd.
There's no escaping it.
Uchiha Nan's aura had already locked onto him; if he hesitated any longer... that would be a Shinra Tensei!
"Initially... the conflict between the Uchiha and the village was escalating... I tried to mediate between the two sides, but... in the end, the Uchiha was on the verge of a coup, and the conflict between the village and the Uchiha had reached an irreconcilable point..."
"That day... Danzo... secretly found Itachi Uchiha behind my back and gave him the order to exterminate the Uchiha... By the time I arrived, the Uchiha had already been wiped out... Later... I put Itachi Uchiha on hold and had him infiltrate a secret organization to gather intelligence for Konoha."
Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke slowly, and the truth hidden for many years was finally revealed.
"Wow... that's really impressive."
" Itachi Uchiha, do you still consider yourself a hero who protected Konoha?"
Uchiha Nan clapped his hands as he spoke with a cold laugh.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, that old bastard, is trying to shift the blame to Danzo again... He's completely innocent... Tsunade will have to settle the score with him later.
Everything I did was for Konoha.
"It's because the Uchiha clan members are too obsessed with something as insignificant as the Hokage Position that they never get what they truly want... Why are they so narrow-minded? Why can't they stay in Konoha...?"
With the truth revealed, Itachi Uchiha finally released the emotions he had been suppressing.
He carried too many sins on his shoulders since the night of the massacre of his clan. These dark thoughts were deeply suppressed in his heart. He believed from the bottom of his heart that everything he did was for Konoha... even if it cost him his entire clan.
"That's a nice thing to say."
"Since you love this village so much that you're willing to slaughter the entire Uchiha, why did you Sasuke?"
"Speak!!"
Uchiha Nan spoke with uncontrollable rage, his hand radiating an attraction that Sasuke lying on the ground from a distance, and then he grabbed Sasuke by the neck.
"Knowing the truth, it's only natural that Sasuke would hate Konoha, and he will definitely seek revenge on Konoha when he grows up."
"For the sake of Konoha, wouldn't killing this brat now fulfill your wish even more!"
Uchiha Nan tightened his grip, Sasuke immediately struggled to breathe, his face turning bluish-purple.
"Stop!!"
Itachi Uchiha's eyes widened, and his scythe-shaped eyes immediately focused on Uchiha Nan's hand.
Black flames instantly appeared in Uchiha Nan's hand. Feeling the burning sensation, Uchiha Nan deflected Amaterasu's flames with a flick of his wrist.
"So now you're not calling it 'for Miha' anymore?"
"Hahaha..."
"How hypocritical!"
Uchiha Nan burst into unrestrained laughter, and in an instant, an immense power of his eye enveloped the space, creating an illusion before everyone.
She was an ordinary person from the Uchiha Clan, with average talent, so she ended up as a housewife, but she was happy with her life. She had a mother who was over fifty years old, a loving and happy husband, and a child who had just turned three.
Her husband was an ordinary policeman in the Konoha Police Force, the kind of ordinary ninja with no hope of promotion and no chance of being involved in important matters.
Like her, he was a laid-back guy, his virtues being his honesty and loyalty; he was a truly good person, which was why she loved him. They were distant relatives from the same clan, childhood sweethearts, and it seemed inevitable that they would eventually become husband and wife.
Recently, due to the suppression from Konoha, their salaries have decreased, but they did not complain. Even when Konoha suddenly asked them to relocate, they moved without any complaints.
Because she had no other merits except for the characteristic of being content with what she had, that is, having a broad mind and a good temper. Her father was a hero who died gloriously in World War II, and she opened One-Tomoe for him. Her husband participated in Third Shinobi World War, and she was always worried about him day and night. In the end, her husband returned safely from the battlefield, and she was so happy that she opened a Tomoe for him, constantly thanking the gods, feeling that they were lucky.
She felt incredibly happy with her life. She was both saddened and proud of her father, and she believed that her current life was the result of their sacrifices, so she should be even more content. Besides, for an ordinary person like her, she didn't think she could do anything; she would inevitably have to listen to important people.
On the night of the massacre, she fed her mother medicine, lulled her child to sleep, and turned off the lights to go to bed with her husband. Suddenly, they heard her mother's screams, which instantly roused them from sleep. Her husband told her and the child to stay where they were while he went to check on them. He had just opened the door...
Then a man slowly walked over.
They recognized him as Itachi Uchiha, the son of the Clan Head head.
He was holding a bloodstained knife, which was still dripping blood.
The room was immediately filled with the stench of blood.
Her husband sensed the murderous intent and knew something was wrong. He rushed to Itachi and told them to run, trying to buy them time, but was then killed by Itachi Uchiha with a single slash.
Even in his dying moments, he clung tightly to Itachi Uchiha's leg, pleading for more time for his wife and daughter. Itachi Uchiha kicked him away and delivered the final blow, killing him completely.
She froze, too terrified to move, then clutched her child tightly, trying to run away. But in the blink of an eye, the man was in front of her. Before she could react, a cold blade pierced her chest. What had happened? Why was this happening all of a sudden? She was utterly bewildered.
The knife was pulled out, blood splattered, and she collapsed to the ground. But driven by intense maternal love, she did not die immediately. The pierced heart could not stop her love. She held her child tightly. The child was very obedient, not making a sound, because her mother had just told her to be good and not to make a fuss. Now she did not let go, as if this could protect her child.
She pleaded, "Please, at least don't harm my child, please, please—" But words are the most fragile thing.
Itachi Uchiha dragged the child from her arms and then killed him. The child let out two mournful cries and then died.
She watched helplessly as her child was hacked to death, watched the man leave, and now her eyes are filled with the magnificent three-tomoe Sharingan. She died in extreme fear and rage, her eyes unopened. Soon after, her eyes will be gouged out and become one of Obito Uchiha's collectibles, while her husband's Sharingan will be embedded in Danzo's arm.
This is a massacre.
"Why... what did we do wrong..."
"Give me back my child...:"
The woman in the illusion seemed to come alive, appearing before everyone in an instant, standing there weeping.
What did I do wrong? What did my child do wrong? What did my mother do wrong?
A heart-wrenching cry echoed throughout the scene.
Everyone present fell silent; no one could bear to look at the scene.
Just imagining this scene in my own mind was enough to ignite an overwhelming surge of anger.
Even Naruto Uzumaki, known for his unparalleled Naruto Uzumaki, stood there dumbfounded. How could he possibly dissuade such a pitiful woman from seeking revenge and destroying Konoha?
For Konoha?
Just for a slogan, people can act so casually.
At that moment, young Naruto Uzumaki stared directly into the deep darkness of Konoha and fell silent.
" Itachi Uchiha, although this woman is fictional, she must have been real once; she once lived in Konoha."
"I'm asking you, what did they do wrong? Why should they be made sacrifices?!"
"And why was your brother able to survive your clutches?!"
If Itachi Uchiha went too far and killed Sasuke as well for the sake of Konoha, then Uchiha Nan could barely accept this reason...
But Sasuke.
You think this counts as Konoha?!
Loyalty that isn't absolute is absolute disloyalty!
"I"
Itachi Uchiha colors were completely revealed.
He had no way of answering Uchiha Nan's question: Why keep Sasuke?
That's because Sasuke is his most beloved younger brother, but he simply can't admit that right now.
Otherwise, all those high-sounding excuses...
The excuse given by Miyo is ridiculous and completely untenable.
Your brother Sasuke, can survive, but the rest of your clan has to become innocent victims for the sake of Konoha?
What kind of utter nonsense is this?!
