Meanwhile, after returning home, Itachi Uchiha went straight to find his parents.
"Itachi, you're back. What did Lord Torifu say to you?"
"Father, Lord Torifu showed me a choice."
"A choice? What choice?" Fugaku Uchiha was confused by his son's cryptic words.
"It was a choice between the clan and the village. He showed me what would happen if you hadn't asked Lord Torifu for help."
Fugaku grew serious. "What would happen?"
Itachi activated his Mangekyō Sharingan. "The Uchiha Clan would all die."
Fugaku and Mikoto stared at Itachi's eyes in shock, too astonished to speak!

The day they launched their rebellion would be the day they died.
From then on, no one in the Uchiha
