Stop All Actions Against the Uchiha Clan—Uchiha's Crimson Three-Tomoe Has Evolved!

Itachi Uchiha was dumbfounded.

Hadn't he just watched Might Guy open the Gate of Death and fight Uncle to the death, only for them to perish together?

Why had he returned to the time when he met Madara Uchiha and discussed the plan to wipe out the Uchiha Clan?

Obito Uchiha was equally stunned.

"Why am I here?"

"Isn't this where Itachi Uchiha and I first met in secret?"

It was here that he and Itachi Uchiha had finalized every detail of the plan to exterminate the entire Uchiha Clan.

What is going on? Obito Uchiha's mind was filled with countless questions.

"Uh..."

"Let's leave it at this for now! I have an urgent mission. We'll discuss the specifics another time!" Itachi Uchiha said. Everything in his memories was far too real. Perhaps those memories were a warning from the gods, telling him not to carry out the Uchiha Clan extermination plan.

Without another word, Itachi Uchiha used the Body Flicker Technique and left.

"Something's wrong. Very wrong."

"I should have successfully reached an agreement with Itachi Uchiha on the Uchiha Clan extermination plan. Why did he leave?"

"This is far too strange." Watching Itachi Uchiha leave, Obito Uchiha was completely bewildered. The future memories that had suddenly appeared in his mind felt so real. What exactly was going on? Uchiha Shadian had revived Rin. Those memories were so vivid, as though they had truly happened.

No, I need to go to Konoha immediately.

With summoned beasts helping them travel, Jiraiya and Tsunade quickly returned to Konoha.

By then, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already gathered Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, Shimura Danzō, and Shikaku Nara.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "What are your thoughts on the memories in our minds?"

Utatane Koharu said, "If those memories truly are events that will happen in the future, then we must first relocate the Nine-Tails' jinchuriki."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Don't worry. I've already arranged for Anbu personnel to move Naruto Uzumaki somewhere safe. I've also had notices spread saying that we were caught in a genjutsu and everything in our memories was an illusion. The civilians have already been calmed."

"The memories are incomparably clear, as though we experienced them firsthand. I keep feeling that those memories truly happened to us," Shikaku Nara said.

"I feel the same way," Hiruzen Sarutobi said. "Therefore, regarding the upcoming operation to eliminate the Uchiha Clan, I propose that we suspend it for now."

Shimura Danzō said grimly, "How can we stop? Those so-called memories are nothing but falsehoods. Hiruzen, aren't you being far too timid?"

"Danzo, were you planning to use Sasuke to threaten Itachi and exterminate the entire Uchiha Clan, regardless of age or gender?" Hiruzen Sarutobi demanded.

Shimura Danzō's face darkened, but he did not answer.

"Lord Third Hokage, Lord Jiraiya and Lady Tsunade have returned." An Anbu used the Body Flicker Technique to appear at the door and knelt as he reported.

"What?" Hiruzen Sarutobi froze for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Jiraiya and Tsunade have returned. It seems they also have those future memories. Let them in at once."

Jiraiya, with the two sages on his shoulders, hurried into the meeting room alongside Tsunade and Shizune.

"Old man, stop all actions against the Uchiha Clan immediately!" Tsunade shouted, slamming her hand onto the table the moment she entered.

"Tsunade, you're being far too disrespectful," Utatane Koharu said.

"Shut up, you old hag." Tsunade shot Utatane Koharu a fierce glare.

Utatane Koharu's face turned purple with rage, but in the end, she did not dare say another word. Though Tsunade was her junior, Tsunade's status was special and her strength surpassed hers. If they truly came to blows, she would be the one to suffer. When Tsunade was willing to reason, she could use righteousness to suppress her somewhat. But when Tsunade refused to be reasonable, she could not withstand Tsunade's fists.

"Tsunade, Jiraiya, do you also have those future memories?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.

"Old man, those aren't memories of the future. They're real memories of things that already happened," Jiraiya said with a grave expression.

"What? Real memories of events that already happened?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression shifted slightly.

The others' expressions also became solemn.

"Jiraiya, what exactly is going on? Why do you say that? What do you know?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked sternly.

Jiraiya said, "Our time was reversed, but our memories were not. That perfectly explains why we have such clear memories in our minds."

"How can you be certain that time was reversed, Jiraiya?" Mitokado Homura asked with a frown.

Jiraiya said solemnly, "The Great Toad Sage's prophecy."

"The fate of the world has changed. Everything experienced shall be reversed. The crimson beast has returned everything to its beginning."

"That was the prophecy the Great Toad Sage gave me."

"From those words, we can determine that time was reversed."

Mitokado Homura said, "If everything truly happened, then what does the crimson beast refer to? A person, or some creature? Why did it reverse time and return everything to the beginning?"

Sage Fukasaku said, "That is what we must do our utmost to investigate. But someone with such power is likely beyond the kind of existence we can even come into contact with."

"Therefore, if Konoha wants to safely endure the disaster in our memories, the Uchiha Clan is the key."

"That Uchiha Shadian pierced Little Jiraiya through the chest with a single sword strike even after he entered Sage Mode. His strength is terrifying."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded. "In those memories, Shadian's power was indeed terrifying. Not only had he awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, but he had also mastered the First Hokage's unique Wood Release ninjutsu. Using Wood Release alongside Fire Release, he wiped out more than nine thousand Konoha shinobi in one stroke." As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi could not help glancing at Shimura Danzō. "Danzo, was Shadian's Wood Release your doing?"

Shimura Danzō snorted. "Hmph! Hiruzen, don't slander me. I have no interest in associating with members of the evil clan."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow and retorted, "The Uchiha Clan are the village's comrades, not some evil clan. It was precisely your attitude, you old fossil, that caused Konoha's tragedy."

"Hmph!" Shimura Danzō snorted but offered no rebuttal.

Tsunade said, "We must now stop everything directed against the Uchiha Clan and soothe the Uchiha Clan. We cannot allow the tragedy in our memories to happen again."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in agreement. In those memories, the forces under his command had suffered devastating losses. He could not bear such losses a second time.

"Tsunade, you and Shadian are master and disciple, and there are even rumors that you are lovers. You're close, so I'll leave the matter of soothing the Uchiha Clan to you."

Tsunade nodded seriously, then immediately snapped, "Old man, Shadian and I are only master and disciple. We are not lovers, so stop talking nonsense."

When Jiraiya heard Hiruzen Sarutobi mention that Tsunade and Uchiha Shadian might be lovers, his expression darkened somewhat.

Konoha had decided to appease the Uchiha Clan, but things were different on the Uchiha Clan's side.

They had experienced the horrors of their clan's extermination!

They had felt the agony of endless bonds.

Now that they had been revived, those Three-Tomoe eyes had completely evolved.
