Chapter 308: Chapter 308

"Come out."

Uchiha Itachi spoke aloud, standing in an isolated forest.

The Itachi who had been following him felt a moment of panic, almost wanting to turn and leave.

'Wait, even Shisui couldn't see through the Crow Illusion Mist. Father said only those with strong mental power can detect it…'

He quickly realized that his counterpart in this timeline shouldn't be able to pierce through his Crow Illusion Mist.

Suddenly, the space before Uchiha Itachi distorted, and a man with long hair wearing a mask stepped out.

Recognizing the spatial distortion, Itachi immediately realized it was Kamui, his father's clone ability. This person had to be Uchiha Obito!

"Tonight's the night. I trust you'll uphold your end of the deal," Uchiha Itachi said.

"Of course. I'll lend you a hand," Obito replied.

Uchiha Itachi looked around, then turned to leave, but before doing so, he added, "Act as planned. I'll leave the Police Force to you."

"No problem. Eliminating the Uchiha clan serves my purposes beyond revenge. You'll be able to watch it all with your Sharingan."

Obito continued, "But remember our deal. After the Uchiha clan is eliminated, you'll join my organization and work for us."

"I understand."

After a few more words, Obito left using his space-time jutsu.

The eavesdropping Itachi was stunned, shocked to hear that his alternate self would ally with an outsider to annihilate the Uchiha clan.

Once Obito left, Itachi followed his other self as he walked out of the forest, letting the Crow Illusion Mist dissipate.

"Who's there?"

Noticing chakra behind him, Uchiha Itachi instinctively threw a kunai. Turning, he saw his kunai caught by another person.

"So it's you. Looks like you're no ordinary person—first asking about the Uchiha, and now following me. What are you planning?"

Uchiha Itachi said coldly, his Sharingan activating with three tomoe, locking onto the other Itachi.

"The shadow clone trick you used to deceive Sasuke… that was you, wasn't it? Gathering all this information from him… I can only assume you intend to harm Konoha!" Itachi replied, his voice growing intense.

"If I'm a threat to Konoha, why are you conspiring with an outsider to slaughter the Uchiha clan? I heard your entire conversation. You plan to take out the Police Force and massacre the rest of the clan. Why would you turn against your own people?"

Itachi's tone grew harsher, unable to believe that his alternate self could plan to kill not only the clan's adults but even the elderly, women, and children.

"Explain yourself… you!" Uchiha Itachi started, about to subdue the man in front of him. But then he saw the other person's appearance change, becoming identical to his own.

And not only his appearance—this person's eyes also transformed into the Sharingan with three tomoe.

"A Sharingan? Who are you?" Uchiha Itachi demanded.

"I am Uchiha Itachi. Whether you believe me or not, Father said my choices are my own. I only planned to learn this world's history, but with this at stake, even if the clan here is corrupt, I can't ignore it."

With that, Itachi extended his hand, and a dense black mist appeared, which he crushed in his palm.

The mist spread so quickly that Uchiha Itachi had no time to react before it engulfed him.

When Uchiha Itachi raised his arm, he found himself in a different world—a desolate landscape under a blood-red sun and moon. The once dense forest had transformed into barren, withered cliffs.

Caw! Caw!

In the distance, he could hear the cries of crows, sounding ominous in his ears.

"Space-time jutsu? No, this is genjutsu…"

Calming himself, Uchiha Itachi analyzed the situation, then activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, using his enhanced ocular power to dispel the genjutsu.

But as he did so, darkness overtook him, and he fell unconscious.

In the forest, Itachi looked down at his alternate self, unconscious, and shook his head.

"So, I opened the Mangekyō Sharingan in this world… Shisui's death must be involved," he thought, recalling Yōichi's teaching that unlocking the Mangekyō required intense emotional turmoil to generate a unique chakra for the evolution.

For him, though, that kind of emotional shift was difficult to attain, and the Mangekyō wasn't as strong as his Hell Crow ability.

"Best to stay calm," Itachi murmured, removing his counterpart's Konoha forehead protector and placing it on his own head. Then, using a rope, he bound his other self.

After ensnaring him in the Hell Mist, he had extracted some of his counterpart's memories, learning more about the situation.

But now, another problem weighed on Itachi's mind. Stopping Obito and his alternate self from destroying the clan would be easy enough, but what next? The memories he gathered revealed a deep rift between the Uchiha and the village—a headache indeed.

"What's this? Fighting yourself, Itachi?"

A familiar voice came from behind him, and Itachi turned, delighted. "Father, you're back!"

Yōichi glanced at the unconscious Uchiha Itachi. "Hm. I was out for a bit, and it looks like you couldn't resist taking action. So, what's your plan?"

"I'm not sure. I haven't spoken much with… this world's me, but he seems… obsessed. If Shisui-senpai were here, things might be different."

"You want to use Kotoamatsukami to change his perspective?"

"It's not just that. Shisui-senpai was his shelter from the storm. Without him, he doesn't know how to protect both the village and the Uchiha's reputation, so he's chosen this extreme route." Itachi paused, then added bitterly, "And the village elders are no help. This fool knows Danzo took Shisui's eye, but he did nothing to stop him… Summoning Jutsu!"

He summoned a crow implanted with Kotoamatsukami. Surprised, he said, "Father, I was able to summon it. I thought it would fail…"

"It worked because your chakra is similar enough. After all, you're still Uchiha Itachi."

Yōichi continued, "If you want to solve this, go to Konoha's entrance and wait for an unexpected visitor. You'll know what to do when you see her."

"A visitor? Father, who is it?"

"You'll know when you see her. If she hesitates, just say it's a favor from Yōichi."

"…Understood!" Itachi nodded. Originally, he planned to confront Danzo and reclaim Shisui's eye, but for now, he would wait at the village gate. The massacre was scheduled for tonight; whoever his father mentioned should be arriving soon.

"I'll take my leave, Father," Itachi said, slinging the unconscious Uchiha Itachi onto his back and heading out.

"Phew, I made it back before nightfall," Tsunade muttered as she approached Konoha's gate. It had been so long since she returned that she almost lost her way.

She'd vowed never to return to this painful place, but with Nawaki revived, she couldn't leave him wandering outside the village. He had dreams to fulfill.

Nawaki looked at his sister, who, despite appearing youthful, was nearly fifty. "Sis, you've been through so much…"

"Nawaki…" Tsunade felt warmth in her heart, giving him a playful punch on the shoulder. "None of that sappy talk. You're going to go through my training, and I won't be easy on you!"

"Yes! I'll train twice as hard as you set for me!"

The three of them, plus Tonton, headed toward the village.

"Tsunade-sama?"

The two shinobi guarding the gate were visibly excited, one quickly saying, "Tsunade-sama, it's good to have you back! I'll go inform—"

"No need. I'll go see the old man myself," Tsunade said, stopping them.

But as they walked into the village, someone suddenly appeared before them.

"Tsunade-sama," Itachi greeted her, nearly slipping into a familiar nickname.

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, seeing the Uchiha fan symbol on his clothing. "Which Uchiha are you? Do you need something?"

"There's something important to discuss with you. It concerns the Uchiha clan and the village," Itachi replied.

"That sounds like a headache. Let's talk tomorrow—I just got back and need to settle in," Tsunade dismissed him, considering sending this Uchiha kid to the Hokage tomorrow.

"No, Tsunade-sama, this must be discussed now. Only you can handle it."

"Look, kid, can't you see we just got back?"

"It was Yōichi who said I could come to you."

"What?"

Tsunade had been about to refuse but froze at the mention of Yōichi, her expression changing. She quickly asked, "Did he look like…?"

"…Yes, that's him," Itachi confirmed, thinking to himself, I hope Father didn't do anything too extreme with her.

"Can you find him?" Tsunade asked eagerly.

Itachi stepped back. "Well… probably not. He appeared, said a few words, and left. I don't know where he went."

"Tch, that man is so mysterious…" Tsunade bit her lip, then turned to Itachi. "Fine. For his sake, I'll hear you out. What is it?"

"Not here," Itachi said, "Please come with me to a quieter place."

"Fine. Shizune, take Nawaki to the Senju compound and start tidying up," Tsunade instructed.

Once they reached a secluded spot, Tsunade asked, "Alright, kid, what's this about?"

"It starts with the Nine-Tails' rampage eight years ago," Itachi began, though he altered parts of the story to credit Yōichi for uncovering much of this information. He recounted Danzo's theft of Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan, the threats to "himself" to annihilate the Uchiha, and the clan's brewing rebellion.

"What a mess… I get back, and it's already this bad…" Tsunade massaged her temples, wondering if her position of power might be able to restrain the Hokage, but the rift with the Uchiha clan…

"I'll handle the Uchiha side, but there are two people I can't let go unpunished, Tsunade-sama," Itachi said.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes. "You mean the masked Uchiha who controlled the Nine-Tails and… Danzo?"

Itachi nodded. "He ambushed Shisui-senpai, took his Mangekyō Sharingan, and then used it to threaten 'me' into annihilating the Uchiha. That alone is reason enough not to let him go."

"But he's a high-ranking figure in Konoha," Tsunade sighed, blaming Yōichi for dragging her into such a mess.

"I'll deal with the masked Uchiha. As for the rest, I'll speak to the Hokage tomorrow. But know this: if you do this, even if the Uchiha are spared, you'll face trouble."

Itachi thought for a moment. "When the time comes, I'll leave with Father. As for this world's me… I'll help him adjust that obsessive personality. Tsunade-sama, after this, I'll become your permanent Anbu."

"My Anbu? Listen, kid, I'm not planning on becoming Hokage." But as she spoke, Tsunade realized that with Konoha's lack of leadership, she was likely the best candidate. Had there been a better choice, the village wouldn't have gone eight years without a Hokage.

Tsunade scratched her head, sighing. "Fine. Do you have information on this masked Uchiha?"

"I do. His main strength is space-time ninjutsu, a troublesome ability, but it has a weakness," Itachi replied, sharing the details he had learned about Obito's Kamui, which he'd encountered several times.

Chapter 309: Chapter 309

"Tsunade, you've finally returned…"

Hiruzen looked at Tsunade with a mixture of surprise and relief. He had thought he'd have no choice but to pass on the Hokage title to Jiraiya, but seeing Tsunade now gave him hope. However, his expression shifted to shock when he saw Nawaki standing beside her.

"Tsunade… is that… Nawaki?"

"It is. Due to… an unexpected circumstance, Nawaki has been revived, which is why I returned to Konoha, old man," Tsunade replied curtly. Seeing Hiruzen's aged face, she held back the harsh words she had initially prepared. Nawaki was alive, stronger than before, and his chakra and cell vitality even surpassed her own.

"But the moment I returned, I heard something shocking—apparently, the Uchiha clan is to be exterminated under your watch as Hokage!" Tsunade said, glaring at him.

Hiruzen's face darkened, and he quickly asked, "Exterminate the Uchiha? I have no such intentions, Tsunade. Has someone approached you?"

"As soon as I got here, I was intercepted at the gate. And don't tell me you're unaware of Danzo's actions. This isn't a matter of 'turning a blind eye.' Who's really in charge here?"

Hiruzen fell silent, sighing deeply. "It's complicated, Tsunade. The Uchiha have become increasingly hostile…"

He had tried communicating with them, but the Uchiha refused to respond. It baffled him—hadn't Itachi passed along his message to Fugaku?

"Forget it, old man. I'm not interested in your excuses. The situation is critical; hand over control of the Anbu to me."

Without hesitation, Tsunade demanded control of the Anbu. She intended to prevent Hiruzen from interfering if Itachi decided to take down Danzo.

Although she felt uneasy about killing a Konoha elder, Danzo's actions—collaborating with Orochimaru, experimenting with Wood Release, and assaulting Shisui—were unforgivable. The revival of Nawaki, the invaluable gift from Yōichi, had compelled her to agree to Itachi's plan.

Hiruzen looked at her for a moment, then slowly lit his pipe. "If you agree to take on the role of Hokage, I'll grant you control of the Anbu."

"We'll discuss that later."

"Tsunade, I'm nearly seventy. Konoha has no one else fit for the role. Jiraiya is rarely around, and Kakashi, despite his abilities, has been unmotivated for years…"

Nawaki's revival and Tsunade's return gave Hiruzen hope that her hemophobia had faded, making her the ideal candidate for Hokage.

"Tch!" Tsunade clicked her tongue in annoyance. She hated it when people guilt-tripped her, but she couldn't simply lash out.

"Once this is over, I'll think about it. For now, I need to ensure Nawaki's situation is taken care of."

"Very well. The Anbu is yours to command."

Hiruzen called for an Anbu operative, instructing them to gather the remaining Anbu captains in the village. Tsunade also asked who among the Jonin had the most notable strength, and upon hearing Kakashi's name among others, she ordered them to assemble.

When everyone gathered in the Hokage's office, Tsunade confirmed the number of Anbu in the village and then gave her orders, "Kakashi will take command of the Anbu, along with the other Jonin, to seal off the Root base. No one is to enter or exit."

Hiruzen and Kakashi, along with the others, were shocked, and Hiruzen quickly asked, "Tsunade, why?"

"Since you've given me command of the Anbu, don't ask questions. By tomorrow, all will be clear," Tsunade said firmly. "The fact that a covert operation to massacre a clan is even being considered in this village is something you bear responsibility for."

"W-what?"

Hiruzen was stunned, realizing she referred to the Uchiha clan.

Seeing that no one was moving, Tsunade frowned and ordered, "Move immediately!"

"Yes, Tsunade-sama," they replied in unison, then left to carry out her orders. Since Hiruzen had entrusted Tsunade with the Anbu, they had no grounds to question it.

"Old man, I'm heading to the Uchiha clan. Are you staying here, or will you come with me?"

"…I'll go with you. If things get dangerous, we'll have each other's backs."

Hiruzen agreed, not wanting Tsunade to face the Uchiha alone. Together, he was confident they could manage any threat from the clan.

Outside Training Ground 32, a secluded area only known to Root members, a figure emerged from the shadows, accompanied by the distinct sound of a cane tapping.

"Why are we here? Has the plan changed?" Danzo asked coldly, emerging from the darkness with two Root operatives by his side.

"It's time to implement the plan," Obito replied, his voice calm.

"Eliminating the Uchiha clan… it's too cruel. There has to be another way," Itachi said, staring at Danzo.

"There is no other way, Itachi!" Danzo snapped, cutting him off. "The clan's destruction ensures Sasuke's survival. I've arranged for his teacher to keep him at the academy as per your request. If you don't go through with this, my Root and Hiruzen's Anbu will wipe out every last Uchiha, including your brother Sasuke."

Hearing Danzo's words, Itachi clenched his fists, his gaze icy.

'Father was right to despise him. I was naive…' Itachi thought, recalling the time he saw Danzo wandering aimlessly as his father's technique clouded his mind. Back then, he had thought it excessive; now, he realized his father had been justified.

This man deserved no mercy.

"If that's the case… Hell Mist!"

Itachi released a dense black mist from his hands, crushing it in his grasp, causing it to erupt like dark flames spreading rapidly.

"What are you doing, Itachi!?" Danzo shouted, his eyes narrowing as he attempted to defend himself, but the black mist consumed him and his operatives.

When the mist cleared, Danzo found himself in a desolate, dim world. The sky was blood-red, and the eerie cries of crows echoed around him.

"A genjutsu…?" Danzo murmured, quickly uncovering his right eye to reveal a Mangekyō Sharingan, attempting to see through the illusion.

However, even with his Mangekyō, he couldn't detect any flaws in the illusion, which unnerved him.

Suddenly, he sensed an attack, instinctively tilting his head.

Swish! Swish!

Two shuriken sliced past his face, missing him but close enough to chill him. 'How is this genjutsu so powerful that even my Mangekyō can't see through it?'

Another wave of danger washed over him. Before he could react, a sharp pain struck his eye—it had been forcibly removed!

"Aah! My eye!"

"That was Shisui's eye, Danzo. You coveted the power of the Sharingan, as well as Wood Release… Die in repentance!" Itachi's voice echoed from all directions, and in the next instant, Danzo's body was engulfed in black flames.

"Damn you, Uchiha Itachi! The village will never forgive you!"

Danzo screamed, his expression twisted with rage. He attempted to extinguish the flames, but they only intensified, even his chakra surges proving ineffective.

"Curse you, Uchiha Itachi! Curse you!" In desperation, Danzo buried himself into the ground, but the flames still consumed him. As his soul drifted into nothingness, he faded away.

After Danzo's death, Itachi dispelled the Hell Mist, clutching his head and muttering, "The Fire of Sin is overwhelming. How did Father control that crow? Using it just once is exhausting…"

He took a couple of elixirs to regain his strength, then stood, pocketing the bottle containing Shisui's eye. Glancing at Danzo and the two Root operatives' lifeless bodies, he left without hesitation.

"Tsunade, why have you stopped?"

Hiruzen asked as they neared the Uchiha district, noticing Tsunade had paused.

"You go on ahead to Fugaku's home, old man," Tsunade replied. "I'll join you shortly, but don't let Fugaku leave until I get there."

Hiruzen looked puzzled. "What are you planning? Can you at least give me an idea?"

"You don't know anything anyway, so wait for the explanation afterward. Just remember what I said."

With that, Tsunade turned away.

"Tsunade… Tsunade!" Hiruzen called after her, but she ignored him. Sighing, he continued toward Fugaku's home, scanning the Uchiha district.

Despite what he had heard, there was no sign of a rebellion. The elderly, women, and children were going about their day, with stores still open.

'I need to have a serious talk with Fugaku,' Hiruzen thought, quickening his pace.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Police Force, space distorted, and a masked figure appeared.

Surveying his surroundings, Obito muttered, "Why hasn't the barrier been deployed yet? Danzo… well, my target is only the Sharingan…"

"Die!" a voice roared as a figure descended from above, landing with a powerful punch. The ground shattered under Tsunade's immense strength, creating a deep crater and cracks that spread across the area.

The nearby Police Force building was the first to feel the impact, cracking and shaking.

Obito leapt out of the dust, his Sharingan glaring through his mask at the woman before him.

"Tsunade the Slug Princess! Why are you here?"

The legendary Sannin, who had been off the grid, was suddenly here, attacking him the moment he arrived. The situation felt all wrong to Obito.

"What's going on? Who's attacking?"

"Who?"

"Who dares attack the Police Force?"

Uchiha clan members emerged from the Police Force building, recognizing the blond kunoichi with twin ponytails and the gambling mark on her back.

"Tsunade-sama?"

"The Sannin, Tsunade-sama? What is she doing here?"

"Who's that masked guy? Tsunade-sama, were you fighting him?"

Without turning, Tsunade responded, "Yes, this is the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails' attack eight years ago. His ability is space-time ninjutsu… be on guard!"

"That guy…" At the mention of the Nine-Tails' attack, the Uchiha all activated their Sharingan, glaring at Obito with hatred.

This masked man was responsible for eight years of undeserved scorn.

Seeing the crowd turn against him, Obito knew his plan for tonight was failing. He prepared to use Kamui to escape.

"Humph, I'll be back…"

Before he could finish, he activated Kamui, and space began to distort.

But at that moment, a fireball flew toward him from behind, matching the speed of his Kamui.

Sensing the danger, Obito canceled his teleportation, phasing his body to avoid the Great Fireball Jutsu.

Swish!

A figure appeared beside Obito—it was Itachi, who had just slain Danzo.

Arriving with Shunshin, Itachi calmly stated, "You can't escape. Surrender now, Obito."
