20. A Chaotic Plot and Mission

Obito was no fool.

Given the vast difference in information, he naturally wouldn't do anything to Chen Xiaoxi now.

After all, on the surface, Chen Xiaoxi could already be considered an indispensable and powerful combat force within the Akatsuki.

He might even play a significant role in the future tailed beast capture plan.

Therefore, After listening to Konan's account, Obito decided to temporarily set aside his doubts and prejudices and focus on his own grand undertaking.

Pain and Konan, after discussion, Decided to follow the Masked Man's orders and continue the previous recruitment plan to expand the Akatsuki's ranks.

To prepare for the formal commencement of the tailed beast plan.

Time flew by.

Unknowingly, several months passed in a flash.

The Akatsuki gained two brand-new members.

The first was named Fujii, from a small country. Despite his tall and imposing physique, he had the common face of a middle-aged uncle.

The other was Juzo Biwa, from the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water. He was a former member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who defected due to dissatisfaction with the village's tyranny, and subsequently joined the Akatsuki.

"Strange, why is this guy only joining now?"

Chen Xiaoxi muttered to himself.

He remembered that in the original plot, Juzo Biwa, who wielded the Executioner's Blade, was Itachi Uchiha's first partner after joining the Akatsuki.

Yet now, Juzo Biwa had just joined the Akatsuki, while Itachi Uchiha was already participating in missions.

"Ding, Main Mission Released."

"Uchiha Clan Downfall Night!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoxi was completely stunned. What was going on? The Uchiha Clan Downfall Night should have already concluded.

What did this mission mean, to destroy them again?

"System, open the panel."

"Ding."

A crisp notification sound rang out, and then a translucent, water-blue interface instantly unfolded before his eyes.

"It's really the Uchiha Clan Downfall Night. Then what about Kisame and Itachi Uchiha that I saw earlier?

Itachi Uchiha has already joined the Akatsuki, so why is there a clan downfall war?"

"I have to ask Konan!"

"Although the reward is very generous, it seems to have deviated from the original story now."

Afterward, Chen Xiaoxi found Konan, but Konan said that Akatsuki didn't have these two people at all?

After hearing this, Chen Xiaoxi felt a chill down his spine. This was clearly something he had personally experienced, but Konan seemed not to have encountered it.

After thinking about it, Chen Xiaoxi couldn't figure out the reason. Was it related to the environment of Sunagakure?

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. With so many branch missions, if I have to complete them all in one night, I really need to plan carefully."

Chen Xiaoxi couldn't figure out why this was happening, so he stopped thinking about it. It was more important to think about the missions. As long as there were prizes, he didn't care what kind of instance it was.

Moreover, Chen Xiaoxi needed to face two opponents this time.

And they weren't just any weak opponents.

Instead, they were two Kage-level, or even near Super-Kage-level existences.

The first one was naturally the filial son, Itachi Uchiha, who awakened the Sharingan at eight and the Mangekyo at eleven.

The second was the one who secretly assisted in the clan massacre, the Ninja World's number one troublemaker, the mysterious masked man, Obito Uchiha.

It was obvious that

If Chen Xiaoxi wanted to successfully complete all the branch missions, he would definitely have to deal with them.

Everyone encountering advertisements like "Are you a real person?" should ignore them and close them. Do not scan the QR code or send text messages!

"But if I do that, won't my identity be directly exposed?"

"This is troublesome..."

Chen Xiaoxi raised a finger and rubbed his temples.

And at this moment, Suddenly, under the eaves by the roadside, two children from Amegakure rushed past.

The two were very noisy and instantly interrupted Chen Xiaoxi's thoughts.

"Hey, Chuan Sang, look quickly! How is this new Demon Mask I bought today? Is it good-looking?"

"Waaah! What is this?

A demon, so scary!"

"Hahaha, it's fake!"

The two children ran further and further away, playing and laughing.

However, After hearing their words, Chen Xiaoxi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Wait.

Demon Mask?

Right!

Why didn't I think of that just now?

Since that brat Obito Uchiha could wear a mask and pretend to be Madara Uchiha to fool others, why couldn't I?

Moreover, after a Shinigami hollowifies, doesn't a Hollow mask appear?

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoxi's lips curled into a smile.

A brilliant plan suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Heh heh,"

"The two filial sons of the Uchiha clan,"

"When the time comes, let me change my identity slightly and play with you~"

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Dusk.

To the east of the Land of Rain.

In the distant Land of Fire, Konoha Village.

On the rooftop of the Hokage Building.

The sky was getting dark, and flocks of crows flew by.

The sun had not yet set, but the full moon seemed to have begun to rise, and between the crisscrossing lights, two figures were reflected below.

If Chen Xiaoxi were here, he would surely be very surprised, because Itachi Uchiha was still in Konoha Village, so who did he meet before?

"Itachi, have you really... made up your mind?"

Looking at Konoha Village in the faint light in the distance, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, asked in a low voice, with his back to the person behind him.

His clouded eyes revealed an inscrutable expression.

Standing with his hands behind his back, he was like a sculpture.

And at this moment, behind him, Itachi Uchiha knelt on one knee, his head bowed slightly.

After a long pause, He softly replied:

"Yes."

Though it was only a single word, it seemed to carry an unprecedented decisiveness.

Hearing this response, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly raised his head, Then narrowed his eyes slightly before letting out a long sigh and saying softly:

"Since that is the case, then go do it."

"In the name of the Third Hokage, I promise you—your brother Sasuke will live to adulthood, safe and sound."

Hiruzen Sarutobi squinted his eyes, His tone drawn out, as if revealing some unusual emotion.

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:

"Then... I entrust it to you."

As his words fell, His figure flickered, vanishing from his spot.

Since the Nine-Tails Incident, The Uchiha Clan and the village had been at loggerheads.

One side was plotting rebellion and seizing power, While the other was contemplating suppression and annihilation.

As the one caught in the middle, Itachi Uchiha, Ultimately chose to betray his clan and obey the Will of Fire in his heart.

He wanted to protect the peace of the village, and his younger brother.

To achieve this, he could only accept the annihilation plan hinted at by the Konoha higher-ups.
