If no outside force intervened.
Uchiha Itachi would raise the butcher's knife at thirteen and slaughter his entire clan with his own hands.
But a little over two months ago.
A little butterfly named "Uchiha Minamoto" had flown into Konoha.
Just how great a storm its wings would stir up, how many things it would change...
No one could say for certain.
Even Uchiha Minamoto himself could not be sure whether the night of the massacre would follow the "predetermined script."
What he could be certain of now was-
Konoha absolutely had a hand in the night of the massacre, but the Uchiha Clan was not innocent either!
How could anyone run the clan properly with this bunch of vermin?
Uchiha Minamoto's gaze was deep, and just then, he saw another figure emerge from the Naka Shrine.
"Is that... Itachi?"
Uchiha Izumi noticed her senior Minamoto's movement and turned around as well, just in time to see her Ninja Academy classmate walking out of the shrine.
"Minamoto, your senses are so sharp!"
Uchiha Minamoto smiled.
He had intended to turn around and leave immediately, but suddenly, as though remembering something, he stepped forward and walked toward Uchiha Itachi instead.
Tap... tap...
With his head lowered, Uchiha Itachi heard a series of rather rhythmic footsteps.
He instinctively looked up, and the instant he made out the figure, his pupils contracted.
Stay away from me!!!
The intense pain in his abdomen and the swollen redness of his cheeks all reminded Uchiha Itachi just how dangerous the man before him was!
Uchiha Minamoto walked up to the "patient" with a beaming smile and greeted him as though nothing had happened.
"Itachi, you're stumbling and slow to react. I'm afraid you're seriously injured!"
Whose fault was that?!
Uchiha Itachi's eyes widened. He could hardly believe his ears.
"Minamoto, you..."
"I just happen to like doing good deeds."
Uchiha Minamoto reached out his right hand and patted his shoulder.
"Come on. It's still early. I'll take you to Konoha Hospital!"
The hospital?
Uchiha Itachi breathed a sigh of relief.
So he meant the hospital.
I thought he meant Yomi...
Wait!
"The hospital?!"
Uchiha Itachi stared incredulously at this "kind and approachable" senior before him.
You beat me this badly, and now you want to take me to the hospital?
Was beating me not enough? You had to rub salt in the wound too?
"Hmm?"
Uchiha Minamoto frowned and tightened his right hand.
"You don't want to?"
Uchiha En, Uchiha Rai, and the others gathered nearby rubbed their hands together, itching for action.
They lacked both the courage and the strength to take on Uchiha Itachi alone.
But the courage to kick Uchiha Itachi while he was injured and down? Not only did they have it, they had it in spades!
"..."
Uchiha Itachi had no choice but to comply.
The group set off in force.
Along the way.
Uchiha Minamoto had wanted to find time to do a few good deeds and pick up some rewards while setting a good example for his fellow clansmen.
Unfortunately, a group of Uchiha traveling together was far too intimidating.
Konoha's residents practically fled at the sight of them.
By the time the group reached Konoha Hospital.
Uchiha Minamoto had failed to find even a single opportunity to do a good deed!
"Minamoto, we're at Konoha Hospital..."
Uchiha Itachi was drenched in cold sweat, his pale face tinged with red, and that red tinged with black.
Had he been alone, he could have used the [Body Flicker Technique] to reach the hospital as quickly as possible.
Instead, Uchiha Minamoto had insisted on walking him all the way from the Naka Shrine to Konoha Hospital!
Uchiha Itachi desperately wanted to escape, but he could not...
"If you help someone, see it through. If you escort the Buddha, take him all the way west."
Righteous and resolute, Uchiha Minamoto personally escorted the "patient" into Konoha Hospital, seeing him all the way to his hospital bed.
"That's that. Rest here for a while. I've already covered your medical expenses, so there's no rush to pay me back."
The corners of Uchiha Itachi's eyes twitched violently. His jaw clenched, but he still squeezed a few words through his teeth.
"Minamoto, thank you..."
"You're thanking me for this?"
Uchiha Minamoto's smile grew even brighter and sunnier.
"Hahaha!"
The nurse beside them blushed. "Sir, you really are a wonderful person!"
Uchiha Itachi practically wanted to cough up blood.
No.
He really was coughing up blood!
"Pfft-"
Crimson blood trickled from the corner of Uchiha Itachi's mouth, making him look every bit the gravely injured patient.
The nurse's expression changed drastically. No longer able to spare time for bonding with Uchiha Minamoto, she hurriedly called a doctor to examine him.
Uchiha Minamoto did not remain in the ward. He pulled the nurse aside, gave her a few instructions, and left with the others.
The Great Love Panel immediately popped up.
[You escorted the injured Uchiha Itachi to Konoha Hospital!] [You completed a Great Love Action!] [You received 10,000 Great Love Points!] [You received [B-rank genjutsu: Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change]!]
That really worked?!
Defeating Uchiha Itachi had earned him ten thousand points;
Educating Uchiha Itachi had earned him one thousand points;
Helping Uchiha Itachi had earned him another ten thousand points.
Uchiha Minamoto gave it serious thought and reached a conclusion-
Those four slaps earlier had still been far too light!
When it comes to dropping rewards, no one I've encountered is better than you!
I hereby declare Uchiha Itachi the strongest!
Delighted and surprised, Uchiha Minamoto happily accepted the rewards.
While leaving Konoha Hospital.
Uchiha Minamoto checked everything he had gained that night.
In terms of [Great Love Points].
Uchiha Itachi alone had provided over twenty thousand!
That was almost equal to all the Great Love Points Uchiha Minamoto had earned before!
An even better experience farm than Naruto Uzumaki had appeared!
Previously, Uchiha Minamoto had spent ten thousand points to unlock the [Two-Tomoe Sharingan].
He currently had a little over eleven thousand Great Love Points remaining.
As for abilities.
First were two B-rank ninjutsu.
[Summoning Technique: Lightning Blade Creation] [Rank: B] [Ability: Seal ninja tools onto scrolls or clothing in advance and summon them when needed, allowing large quantities of ninja tools to be summoned in an extremely short time.] [Evaluation: O sealed ninja tools, I command you to appear before me!]
[Summoning Technique: Lightning Blade Creation].
The effects of this ninjutsu could be understood simply as a "portable weapon storage space."
Ninjas had a vast variety of tools, such as blades, kunai, Explosive Tags, Soldier Pills, and so on.
Many ninja tools were heavy and extremely inconvenient to carry in large quantities.
But with [Summoning Technique: Lightning Blade Creation].
Uchiha Minamoto could carry large quantities of weapons and equipment with him!
He planned to carry just a hundred million or so Flash Bombs once he got home.
Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan Genjutsu was powerful?
Then he would blind the bastard with Flash Bombs!
Explosive Tags went without saying.
Bring them!
Bring them all!
Bring as many as he could carry!
As the old saying went.
All fear stemmed from insufficient firepower!
Obito Uchiha was strong.
