"Okay, someone will meet you there."
Minato Namikaze nodded, then used Flying Thunder God Kunai to tell Mei Terumi the news.
However, the Uchiha Clan failed to evacuate that very night, as the slaughter began at dusk.
Uchiha Itachi, a devoted son, was the first to attack the Uchiha Clan, beginning a massacre.
Holding a long sword, Uchiha Itachi began to slaughter his fellow Uchiha Clan clan members with a blank expression.
Every Uchiha clansman who encountered Uchiha Itachi Uchiha Clan died by this long sword.
" Uchiha Itachi, what are you doing?"
The arriving Uchiha Clan clan members glared angrily at Uchiha Itachi, their eyes practically spitting fire.
This is the son of a clan leader! How could he betray the Uchiha Clan? Is this acceptable?
"I'm sick of hearing that 'clan after clan' talk."
Uchiha Itachi's eyes transformed into Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and he plunged his sword into the abdomen of the Uchiha Clan clansman who had spoken, reaping his life.
"In your eyes, there is only the narrow interests of your own clan!"
As Uchiha Itachi drew his sword, the Mitsudomoe in his eyes swirled continuously.
"You've gone mad! You've gone mad! Kill him! Don't show him any mercy just because he's the son of a clan leader."
Enraged, the Uchiha Clan clan members disregarded all sentimentality and launched an attack on Uchiha Itachi.
However, Uchiha Itachi blocked all of them, and in the course of their two exchanges, several more Uchiha Clan clansmen died under Uchiha Itachi's blade.
After all, Uchiha Itachi was Kishimoto's father, and his strength and talent were top-notch. Even fellow Uchiha Clan clan members could not withstand him.
"That Uchiha Itachi, he's so ruthless even to his own clansmen."
Zetsu, hidden in the shadows, watched with a twitch in his face. When Uchiha Itachi killed the Uchiha Clan clan members, it was like slaughtering pigs, one cut at a time, without any hesitation or emotion.
"Isn't this exactly the kind of talent we need?"
Obito was very satisfied with Uchiha Itachi because he had already made an agreement with him that Itachi would join the Akatsuki after the Uchiha Clan was wiped out.
Of course, Obito wouldn't completely trust Itachi, but using him as a henchman wouldn't be bad, after all, he has the Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Alright, now it's our turn to make a move."
As more and more Uchiha Clan clansmen arrived, Uchiha Itachi found himself in a stalemate.
Obito turned halfway to look at Zetsu behind him; it was time for him to make his move.
His purpose this time was not only to annihilate the Uchiha Clan, but also to collect as many Sharingan as possible. Zetsu was brought here to do this.
The Three-Tomoe Sharingan, in particular, is perfect for using Izanagi.
With Obito's arrival, the situation once again became one-sided.
After all, Obito also possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, and his Dōjutsu was the abnormally Kamui.
With Kamui, Obito can show off in front of Super Kage Level powerhouses, unless the opponent can break through his Kamui Intangibility.
However, very few people could break the code, Obito appeared to be virtually invincible in this battle.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Itachi was also observing Obito and discovered that the other party was indeed powerful. Regardless of whether he was really Madara Uchiha, he needed to be very careful.
"Clan leader, Uchiha Itachi has betrayed us."
At the same time, an Uchiha Clan clan member passed the information to Uchiha Fugaku.
"They really betrayed us."
Uchiha Fugaku didn't seem too surprised, after all, Minato Namikaze had warned him several times to be careful of Uchiha Itachi, so Uchiha Fugaku was mentally prepared.
"Itachi, you've still chosen to stand on Konoha's side."
Uchiha Fugaku's eyes also transformed into Mitsudomoe.
Everything Uchiha Itachi had came from the Uchiha Clan, yet he still made the decision to betray them. He really did raise a very filial son.
"Elder, I'll stay here to hold off Konoha High Command ' backup plans. You should lead the Uchiha Clan clan away."
"Leave the village to the northeast. That area is close to the Land of Lightning, and part of that land belongs to Kumogakure. If you see anyone from Kumogakure, you're safe."
Fugaku Uchiha addressed the current Grand Elder of the Uchiha clan.
Since the other side has already made its move, it means that the Konoha High Command has made thorough preparations. At this point, we cannot engage in a direct confrontation.
Therefore, Uchiha Fugaku planned to sacrifice himself to ensure the well-being of the Uchiha Clan clan.
Although he was portrayed as cowardly in the original work, to the point of being a complete coward, this decision still demonstrated his responsibility as the head of the Uchiha Clan Head.
"Chieftain, no, how can we leave you here?"
The current Grand Elder of the Uchiha Clan rejected Uchiha Fugaku's proposal.
"Elder, don't worry, I won't die."
Uchiha Fugaku revealed his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Upon seeing this, the Uchiha Grand Elder was stunned; Uchiha Fugaku had also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
With the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Fugaku might not have died in Konoha; even if he couldn't win, he could have escaped.
The elder then led the remaining Uchiha Clan clan members to prepare for retreat, while Uchiha Fugaku stayed behind alone.
Of course, he didn't stay behind alone. Several of his staunch loyalists stayed with him to fight against Konoha, buying time for the Uchiha Clan to escape.
"You really have the heart to do that, Itachi."
Upon arriving at the battlefield, Uchiha Fugaku stared at the corpses of his Uchiha Clan clansmen scattered across the ground, his fists clenching so tightly they cracked.
"Father, if the Uchiha Clan really rebels and plunges Konoha into internal strife, then other villages will also take the opportunity to attack."
" The Fourth Shinobi World War will inevitably break out, and countless people will lose their loved ones and friends because of the war. Have you thought about that?"
Upon seeing Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Itachi calmly offered some advice.
He himself believed this whole story.
"Have you ever thought about the lives of the Uchiha Clan clan? Everything you have was given to you by the Uchiha Clan clan."
Uchiha Fugaku found his son utterly ridiculous.
Because you didn't want other people's relatives and friends to die, you killed all of your own relatives and friends?
What kind of utterly absurd and nonsensical logic is this?
" Konoha didn't leave the Uchiha Clan any way out either. The reason we've come to this point is because we were forced into it by the Konoha High Command."
Recalling the treatment the Uchiha Clan had suffered over the past few years, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes were filled with murderous intent and chilling intent.
Over the years Uchiha Clan has been increasingly ostracized by the village. From relocating their clan home to the spread of rumors, and finally reaching this point, it was all due to the initiative of the Konoha High Command. The Uchiha Clan did not resist, but instead repeatedly endured and made concessions.
But what did these concessions and forbearances bring?
This is the result of today's situation, so Uchiha Fugaku does not intend to accept death as he did in the original story, but is prepared to fight back.
At least we need to buy time for the Uchiha Clan to escape.
"There's no need to hold back anymore, Itachi. We're not father and son anymore, we're enemies."
Faced with the treacherous Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Fugaku resolved to fight him.
As darkness fell, at the northeastern entrance of Konoha, the Uchiha Grand Elder led a large number of the Uchiha Clan members into a dense forest.
"A member of the Uchiha Clan clan, is that right?"
A cold voice rang out from the dense forest, and then Hozuki Mangetsu, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, a genius who could wield all seven Ninja Blade, appeared before the Uchiha Clan clan.
After all, the characteristics of the Uchiha Clan clan are too obvious. With their signature wispy hair and the Uchiha Clan Crest, it's hard not to recognize them.
"Are you Hozuki Mangetsu from Kumogakure?"
The Uchiha Grand Elder looked at Hozuki Mangetsu.
He had heard of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kumogakure, the most renowned of whom was Hozuki Mangetsu.
Legend has it that he could wield seven Ninja Blade and was possibly the leader of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kumogakure.
"I am Hozuki Mangetsu, and I am here on orders from the Lord Raikage to greet you. Who is Uchiha Fugaku?"
Looking at the Uchiha Clan clansmen before him, Hozuki Mangetsu asked.
He had never met Uchiha Fugaku, so naturally he didn't know that Uchiha Fugaku was not there.
"The clan chief isn't here. He stayed behind to cover our retreat in order to buy us time."
The Uchiha Grand Elder then reported the matter to Hozuki Mangetsu.
"No, we must take Uchiha Fugaku with us. The Lord Raikage said that Uchiha Fugaku is very important, and he Awakening the Mangekyō. We can't let Konoha gain such a powerful force."
After hearing Hozuki Mangetsu pondered for a moment and looked in the direction of Konoha.
The Lord Raikage once told him that he must take Uchiha Fugaku away, but now Uchiha Fugaku is trapped in Konoha, and things have taken a turn for the worse.
He didn't bring many people this time, after all, it was just to provide backup. He didn't expect Konoha to act so quickly.
It's too late to find someone now, so Hozuki Mangetsu decides to head straight to Konoha.
"You think you can storm into Konoha with such a small group?"
The Uchiha Grand Elder was quite surprised by Hozuki Mangetsu's actions.
"Of course, would Konoha dare to stop our Kumogakure ninja...?"
