Muzan was about to make his move and kill the surrounding Uchiha ninja.
But Itachi Uchiha showed no fear toward the enemy before him. He used his own kunai to personally end the lives of his clansmen.
"An Uchiha can only die by the hands of their own."
Blood dripped down his face. Looking at the relatives he had once known, whom he now had to face with weapons drawn, he shifted his gaze to Muzan and watched him warily with kunai in hand.
"This guy..."
Muzan looked at the corpses on the ground. Itachi Uchiha had shown no mercy. At such a young age, he had already become ruthless enough to sever all familial bonds. Just as expected of him!
Only this time, the ones determined to suppress the Uchiha were Fugaku and Shisui.
Both had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and with the surrounding Anbu ninja forming an encirclement, this slaughter achieved victory without any suspense.
"Don't worry. I'm not your enemy."
Muzan had specially altered his voice, making it slightly hoarse, yet carrying the cold, venomous chill of a snake. He spoke with detached indifference:
"You're a very gifted kid. I hope you can grow stronger."
At that moment, an Uchiha suddenly sprang out from beneath a corpse nearby. His target was none other than Muzan.
"Watch out!"
After learning that the Anbu had secretly helped the Uchiha purge the Hawk Faction, Itachi Uchiha understood that the two sides were working together.
Crack!
The instant the man drew near, Muzan seized him by the throat. With terrifying strength, he slammed him straight into the ground.
As a genius, Itachi Uchiha's pupils contracted slightly. He had not even seen Muzan make his move!
"Such quick reflexes."
"Kid, don't die in this chaos. I'm looking forward to what you'll do
