Rogue Ninja Lynn Uchiha

Obito narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Lynn, who had Second Pillar in his grasp.

He had noticed it a moment ago: the Uchiha standing opposite him was likely already mentally unstable.

Even so, Obito did not let his guard down.

After all, apart from a "normal" person like himself, the more insane an Uchiha Clan member was, the stronger they became.

The level of madness displayed by the guy in front of him felt extreme even to Obito.

The man was still clutching the last remaining Second Pillar.

Did he really think that Uchiha Itachi alone would be enough to kill him?

Thinking of this, Obito quickly turned his head to look at Uchiha Itachi beside him and asked, "Do you really intend to go along with him?"

In his intangible state, he naturally had no reason to fear Uchiha Itachi.

But if the other party were to turn on him, the consequences would be...

Uchiha Itachi's expression remained indifferent as he stared coldly at Lynn ahead, and at Second Pillar in the man's grip.

"I have my own judgment."

"You have your damn judgment! You're a dog who killed your own parents—what kind of judgment is that?"

Lynn gripped Second Pillar and began to curse him out directly.

"Do you think you're so impressive, thinking this is the only way to save Konoha Village? You have the nerve to spout nonsense about abandoning the 'small family' of the Uchiha Clan to save the 'big family' of Konoha Village. You damn dog, you make me absolutely sick! The Daimyo of the Land of Fire is wary of Konoha Village, and the Land of Fire is a 'big family' too—why don't you say you'll wipe out Konoha for the sake of the Land of Fire?!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi was momentarily stunned.

It seemed... what this Uchiha in front of him was saying actually made a lot of sense.

Wait! How could I even have such a thought?!

"And your so-called Will of Fire is truly laughable!"

Lynn looked at Uchiha Itachi, his eyes filled with mockery.

"You killed everyone in the Uchiha Clan, yet you were the only one to spare your younger brother, Second Pillar. Is this the so-called Will of Fire of a dog like you? In my eyes, you're nothing but a dog for the Sarutobi Clan! Just a dog for that bastard, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen! You are nothing but a traitor to the Uchiha!"

Every word Lynn spat out was like a sharp blade, cutting into Uchiha Itachi's heart.

Could it be... that what he said was actually right? Am I really a beast? A dog for the Third Hokage? A traitor to the Uchiha?! No! How could I even entertain such thoughts?!

Uchiha Itachi gritted his teeth, his hand gripping his katana trembling uncontrollably.

Blood dripped onto the ground, making a rhythmic ticking sound.

He stared at the blood on the ground, unable to listen to Lynn's words any longer. He knew that he had killed most of the Uchiha Clan; there was no turning back for him. He had to move forward; he had to be right. Everything he did was for the Will of Fire! Wiping out the Uchiha Clan was for the sake of all of Konoha, for the sake of the big picture! He was definitely not a lackey of the Sarutobi Clan, nor was he a dog for the Third Hokage! The Hokage and the choices he made were all correct—the person in front of him was just a lunatic!

Seeing the look of struggle on Uchiha Itachi's face, the smile on Lynn's face gradually turned icy.

"Since you like sacrificing the small family to protect the big one, then let me help you kill Second Pillar!"

As he spoke, his grip on Second Pillar tightened, and he lifted the boy higher and higher.

Sasuke's face began to turn red, then purple. Because of the difficulty in breathing, a wheezing sound escaped his throat.

Uchiha Itachi snapped his head up, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan beginning to spin.

But before he could cast his genjutsu, it was shattered by Lynn's Mangekyou Sharingan.

Violent pain radiated from Uchiha Itachi's eyes, and scarlet blood flowed incessantly from his Sharingan.

"No!" Uchiha Itachi gripped his katana tightly and used the Body Flicker Technique to charge directly in front of Lynn Uchiha.

However, Lynn's figure had already appeared atop the eaves of the roof.

Watching Uchiha Itachi's expression and movements, a playful look appeared on Lynn's face.

He suddenly felt he didn't want to kill Second Pillar so quickly.

He would take Second Pillar and defect from this damned Konoha Village.

Every so often, he would give Uchiha Itachi a piece of Sasuke.

Only then would this beast know that he was a beast!

"Kamui!"

Just as Lynn was pondering, Obito Uchiha flashed directly to his side, his right hand gripping a kunai coated in chakra, and stabbed it fiercely at Lynn's neck.

Clang!

The sound of metal striking metal rang out.

The chakra-coated kunai could not pierce Lynn's neck by even a fraction.

Obito widened his eyes as he stared at the scene before him, his face full of disbelief.

What... what on earth was going on?!

"Heh... you bastards will never understand!"

Lynn sneered, his right hand smashing out with a boom while his single hand formed a seal.

"Lightning Style: Thunder Blast!"

A terrifying spear of lightning, a full five or six meters long, tore through the air currents and rushed toward the direction of Obito Uchiha and Uchiha Itachi.

Meanwhile, Lynn's arm passed directly through the intangible Obito Uchiha.

Seeing the ferocious and terrifying lightning approaching, Uchiha Itachi's pupils constricted, and he formed seals with both hands.

Poof!

White smoke drifted by, leaving only a piece of wood in his place.

He himself had appeared to the front-left of Lynn.

Uchiha Itachi stared fixedly at Lynn and said word by word, "Lynn Uchiha, let Sasuke go. He is still just a child!"

"A child?!" Lynn scoffed, loosening the grip of his hand.

Seeing Sasuke's complexion gradually return to normal, the stone hanging in Uchiha Itachi's heart finally dropped.

But Lynn's next words made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"When you killed so many children of the Uchiha Clan, why didn't you think about them being children?!

Uchiha Itachi, if I don't see Obito Uchiha's corpse, then you bastard can just wait to see a piece of your brother every so often!"

After saying this, Lynn grabbed Sasuke.

Combining the Body Flicker Technique with the ultra-high-speed cellular friction of Electric Current Drive, he flashed toward the outskirts of the village under the cover of night.

Uchiha Itachi wanted to give chase, but seeing the Anbu ninjas arriving one after another in Konoha Village, he had no choice but to give up.

How could it end up like this?

Everything had been planned out clearly; as long as things proceeded according to the established plan, everything would turn out for the best.

But why was Sasuke...

Seeing Uchiha Itachi's appearance, Obito couldn't help but ask, "Itachi, you don't actually believe his words, do you?"

Uchiha Itachi gripped his long sword tightly, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were filled with a cold, icy light.

"I am going to join the Akatsuki Organization, find him, and then kill him!"

The night was dark and heavy.

The surrounding woods were like the claws of monsters, twisting and reaching out into the air.

Lynn grabbed Second Pillar and continued to use the Body Flicker Technique to rush forward.

With DC Lynn's active cells and self-healing abilities, coupled with the stimulation of Electric Current Drive, Lynn's chakra was growing at every moment.

Not only that, but the power of the Lightning Style ninjutsu he mastered had also become even more formidable.

Suddenly, Lynn stopped.

The surrounding forest was deathly silent, with only the sound of wind rustling through the leaves.

He narrowed his eyes, his crimson pupils fixed intently ahead.

Immediately after, several Konoha Anbu ninjas wearing cat and dog masks appeared in front of him.

The leader stepped forward slowly, his voice cold:

"Lynn Uchiha, you slaughtered the Uchiha Clan and defected from the village; your crimes are heinous.

Given your strength as a Chunin, I advise you to come back with us quietly.

Otherwise..."

Lynn curled his lips, revealing his stark white teeth:

"You bunch of curs, I expected this long ago. If you want to fight, then let's f*cking fight!"

The next second.

He transformed into a blurred afterimage, appearing right before the man, his hand crackling with golden electricity.
