The Uchiha Clan Extinction Ends

"Is it already over?"

When Yun Xi arrived at the core area of the Uchiha compound, he discovered that the battle inside had already concluded.

Inside the main hall, the bodies of Uchiha Fugaku and his wife lay flat upon the floor.

Itachi stood not far away with a calm expression, as if nothing at all had happened.

In the distance, Sasuke had already lost consciousness, lying on the ground unresponsive.

Seeing this scene, a sense of secret delight stirred within Yun Xi's heart.

He had finally managed to steer the Uchiha clan massacre back to the path of the original story.

Although there had been some deviations along the way, the outcome remained unchanged.

Standing below, Itachi suddenly spoke up: "Come down. I truly despise those who sneak around in the shadows watching me."

"Did you discover me?"

Upon hearing Itachi's words, Yun Xi directly dispelled his Transformation Technique.

He then leaped down from the eaves.

"It's you again?"

Seeing that the person who had arrived was Yun Xi, Itachi felt a flicker of surprise.

He had not expected Yun Xi to come looking for him at a time like this.

"What is your purpose in coming here specifically to find me?"

However, Uchiha Itachi quickly regained his composure, for he knew that Yun Xi must have a reason for appearing here at this moment.

As for what that reason might be, Uchiha Itachi had no way of knowing.

"I won't beat around the bush. My purpose in coming here is to recruit you."

Seeing Uchiha Itachi be so direct, Yun Xi also laid out the thoughts in his mind.

"Oh? Recruit me?"

Hearing Yun Xi's words, a faint smile flashed across the corner of Itachi's mouth before he continued: "That depends on whether you are worthy!"

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique."

As his voice fell, Itachi took action immediately.

A massive fireball surged toward Yun Xi. In truth, Uchiha Itachi was also curious to see the true strength of this seemingly ordinary youth standing before him.

To think he would dare to utter words about wanting to recruit him!

"Very well." Seeing Itachi make his move, a hint of excitement appeared on Yun Xi's face.

He wanted to see who was stronger: his own strength or that of the current Itachi!

"Substitution Technique!"

Just as Itachi's Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique was about to strike, a perfectly timed Substitution Technique allowed Yun Xi to dodge the attack.

At the same time, Yun Xi's hands moved in a blur, weaving signs during the opening.

The moment he landed, Yun Xi's counterattack was already prepared!

"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

Yun Xi unleashed two ninjutsu of different natures to launch an attack against Uchiha Itachi.

Although the power of his Majestic Destroyer Flame and Great Breakthrough were not at their peak, fire and wind could complement one another.

With the enhancement of the Wind Style: Great Breakthrough, the power of Yun Xi's Majestic Destroyer Flame more than doubled!

"Indeed, you are strong, but if this is the extent of your power, you might die here today."

Seeing Yun Xi's counterattack, Itachi could not help but offer a word of praise.

Itachi could not say he liked the youth before him, but he certainly did not feel any animosity toward him.

If Yun Xi had not appeared here today, Itachi would never have raised a hand against him.

But unfortunately...

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Look at me, Tsukuyomi!"

Facing Yun Xi's enhanced Majestic Destroyer Flame, Uchiha Itachi immediately utilized the Shadow Clone Technique.

The real body then moved at blinding speed to appear behind Yun Xi.

Hearing the sound, Yun Xi instinctively turned his head to check the situation behind him, only to find himself plunged into a blood-red space...

"Let this all come to an end."

Seeing that Yun Xi had fallen into his Tsukuyomi, Uchiha Itachi prepared to knock him unconscious.

In the end, Uchiha Itachi decided not to kill Yun Xi; after all, Konoha needed more geniuses to protect it.

Just as Itachi prepared to leave, thinking he had already ended the battle, Yun Xi woke up!

"Mangekyo Sharingan, activate!"

A low voice echoed directly across the field, followed by a scene that Uchiha Itachi could never have imagined.

A Mangekyo Sharingan appeared in Yun Xi's eyes as well!

Itachi could even feel the abundant ocular power surging within them.

"I wonder if this trump card of mine has managed to surprise you?"

After waking from the Tsukuyomi, Yun Xi looked at Itachi with a smile.

Itachi's Tsukuyomi was undoubtedly a difficult technique to resist, but unfortunately for him, Yun Xi also possessed a Mangekyo Sharingan. His resistance to genjutsu was formidable, and at the same time, Itachi's ocular power was inferior to his own.

Consequently, the duration of the Tsukuyomi's control was drastically shortened, and coupled with the fact that Yun Xi had been mentally prepared for it, Itachi's Tsukuyomi could only hold him for a fleeting moment.

"Who exactly are you? Why do you also possess a Mangekyo Sharingan?"

Upon seeing Yun Xi's Sharingan, the previously calm expression on Uchiha Itachi's face finally underwent a subtle change.

A hint of shock was now mingled with confusion.

Uchiha Itachi was certain that Yun Xi was definitely not a member of the Uchiha Clan.

Yet, where could his Sharingan have come from?

"Curious about my eyes?"

Seeing Uchiha Itachi's expression, Yun Xi did not offer an explanation, but instead walked up to him and said, "I cannot explain the origin of these eyes to you."

"But I truly am here to recruit you into my organization."

Seeing that Uchiha Itachi remained silent and merely stared at him coldly, Yun Xi continued, "I understand that you never wanted to defect from Konoha, and I understand your plan."

"But..."

"Do you really think Sasuke will turn out the way you planned?"

After saying this, Yun Xi glanced out of the corner of his eye at the unconscious Sasuke on the ground.

"I don't know what Sasuke will think of me when he wakes up. Perhaps there will be hatred, or perhaps misunderstanding, but this is already the best method. Beneath the bright village of Konoha, there exists darkness..."

After hearing Yun Xi's words, Uchiha Itachi's expression shifted once more.

The initial calm transformed into a face full of helplessness...

"Since you already understand the existence of that darkness, why not destroy it?"

Yun Xi continued to tempt Itachi.

Having read the original story, Yun Xi naturally understood that Itachi had never intended to betray Konoha from the very beginning.

The reason Itachi had personally orchestrated the massacre of the Uchiha Clan was purely to protect his younger brother.

And his reason for leaving Konoha to join the Akatsuki was also to monitor Uchiha Obito, preventing him from harboring any further thoughts of destroying Konoha.

"Destroy..." Itachi murmured to himself.

After a long while, Itachi spoke again: "Although I do not know who you really are, I hope you can look after Sasuke after I leave Konoha."

"Sorry, I don't have the time."

Yun Xi rejected Itachi directly; he had not expected Itachi to be so stubborn.

"Sigh..."

Seeing Itachi's indifferent expression, Yun Xi finally understood what it felt like to be helpless...

"If I told you that the organization you joined was not established by Uchiha Madara at all, would you still refuse me?"

Finally, Yun Xi played his trump card, intending to reveal some information to Itachi...
