Uchiha Itachi felt quite unwilling upon hearing this, but there was nothing he could do.
Although he could sense another power hidden within his eyes, he had not yet developed it.
If he were to force its use, the cost would be too great, and he would be unable to do what came next.
"Yes," Uchiha Itachi said helplessly.
"Go, kill as many of those stubborn elements as you can."
Uchiha Itachi nodded to Uchiha Mikoto, and his figure disappeared.
"Sasuke will be back soon. Tidy up and think about what to say."
"It's best not to hide it. You can't hide it. It will only affect the relationship between you and your son," Kageyama Kogetsu said in a deep voice.
"I understand," Uchiha Mikoto said with a bitter expression.
As expected, from now on, her two sons would be at odds with each other. How tragic.
"The masked man who invaded Konoha is killing people at the Police Force headquarters. I'm heading over there now."
"Be careful."
"Mm."
Kageyama Kogetsu vanished, then directly crossed space to close the distance, appearing on the battlefield with a Body Flicker Technique. He pointed his right index and middle fingers, and a bolt of lightning shot out...
Uchiha Obito entered his phased state, avoiding the attack. Uchiha Izumi took the opportunity to escape, saving her life.
Uchiha Izumi, an excellent and outstanding, yet tragic and lamentable girl.
In the original story, she was 13 when she died, and she already had a three-tomoe Sharingan, her talent second only to Uchiha Itachi among her peers.
"Lord Kogetsu, he is the culprit behind the Nine-Tails incident!"
Uchiha Izumi quickly ran to Kageyama Kogetsu's side, pointing at Uchiha Obito with a resentful expression.
Obito's abilities were very suitable for sneak attacks and assassinations. Coupled with his raw strength far exceeding that of a Jonin, many Uchiha ninja at the Police Force headquarters had already been killed.
"You don't need to worry about this. Go to the clan head's residence and act as a guard. I will deal with him," Kageyama Kogetsu said coolly.
"He is very strong. Why don't I stay and help you?" Uchiha Izumi said with a hesitant expression.
"If you stay, you'll only be a hindrance. Don't worry, I've fought him before."
"Yes," Uchiha Izumi said, surprised, then vanished.
"You're really a persistent ghost," Uchiha Obito, wearing a white spiral mask, said, his eyes cold and his tone annoyed.
Because there was someone in Konoha that Uchiha Obito was wary of, he had brought White Zetsu Zetsu with him.
"Reversing the natural order, you dare to steal my line?"
Kageyama Kogetsu's figure instantly disappeared, transforming into a blue bolt of lightning that passed through Uchiha Obito.
"A cheap ability, a coward's ability," Kageyama Kogetsu said, turning around and feigning annoyance.
"Hmph, lament your fate of not having the Mangekyo Sharingan. Today, we will settle the score once and for all!"
Uchiha Obito, feeling that his strength had increased somewhat and with Izanagi as his trump card, took out the Uchiha Gunbai and initiated an attack...
Kageyama Kogetsu, clad in Lightning Release Armor, fought bare-handed, but his combat power was no less than if he were using a weapon.
Kogetsu's strength, speed, and technique were perfectly combined. His moves were grand, yet filled with killing intent.
Uchiha Obito's technique was not bad, but his strength and speed were inferior. However, with his phasing ability, he was not at a disadvantage for a short time.
The taijutsu clash between the two was extremely fast, like a blue and a black lightning bolt colliding. The Police Force ninja who had survived by chance could not intervene at all.
Only the Police Force ninja whose Sharingan had evolved to the three-tomoe stage could barely follow the trajectory of the battle, but their physical reactions could not keep up.
Seeing that they could not intervene in the battle, the Police Force ninja went to collect the bodies of their comrades, only to find that their comrades' eyes had all been gouged out.
Everyone was furious, but in their anger, they were also helpless.
The previous battle had already proven that if the few of them did not fight together, they would only be slaughtered in front of the masked man.
The street outside the Police Force headquarters had been completely destroyed by the aftermath of the battle, and the outer wall of the headquarters had been shaken, causing several cracks of varying sizes.
The two blue and black lightning bolts were still clashing, but Uchiha Obito was already feeling a sense of powerlessness...
It was useless even if he had gotten a little stronger. Faced with this flawless ninja, he still had no options.
His taijutsu could not break through the Lightning Release Armor's defense, and ordinary ninjutsu couldn't break it either. He couldn't even grab him to absorb him with Kamui. He was at a complete loss.
Perhaps I should get my other eye back...
My right eye's ability is mainly defensive. My left eye's ability is likely mainly offensive.
A space-time ninjutsu attack should be able to deal with Kageyama Kogetsu. With both eyes, my abilities will be enhanced in all aspects. Coupled with Susanoo, the possibility of eliminating this great enemy will be greatly increased.
But do I really want to take my eye back from Kakashi?
Although I've encountered a lot of trouble, I haven't reached a dead end. The enemy can't do anything to me either.
...
While the two were fighting, Uchiha Itachi was using his identity and strength to sneak attack, assassinate, and forcefully kill the Uchiha clan's elders and die-hards...
It just goes to show that the strongest fortresses are often breached from within.
Although some Uchiha ninja were dissatisfied with Uchiha Itachi's actions, they really couldn't imagine that the son of the clan head, the future clan head, and the next pride of the clan after Shisui would rebel.
If it were a frontal battle, let alone with an awakened Mangekyo Sharingan, even if he could use a half-body Susanoo, Uchiha Itachi would not be able to withstand the bombardment of ninjutsu from the numerous Uchiha ninja.
Only an Eternal Mangekyo that could use the ultimate Susanoo could ignore the difference in numbers and slaughter everyone with absolute strength.
During the night, with their guard down, each acting on their own without a unified command, the Uchiha die-hards were being killed one by one under Uchiha Itachi's blade...
Uchiha Itachi killed their husbands, sons, fathers, brothers, mothers, and sisters.
However, Uchiha Itachi kept Kageyama Kogetsu's words in mind and did not kill the related civilians, only knocking them out.
The commotion in the Uchiha clan's grounds was small, and the Root and Anbu ninja who were monitoring them remained indifferent.
The commotion at the Police Force headquarters was much larger. With the addition of Uchiha Izumi returning to the clan grounds and the Police Force ninja who had gone to get reinforcements, many ninja were converging on this location.
Seeing the reinforcements arrive, Uchiha Obito decisively sank into the ground and retreated...
Under the phasing ability of Kamui, Earth Release could not harm him. After sinking deep into the ground, Uchiha Obito then escaped into the Kamui dimension.
After repelling Uchiha Obito, Kageyama Kogetsu led the reinforcement ninja to the Uchiha clan grounds.
By this time, Uchiha Itachi had already retreated. Most of the die-hards had been killed, and the Uchiha clan's vitality was greatly damaged, their strength reduced to that of an ordinary large clan.
As soon as he arrived at the Uchiha clan grounds, Kageyama Kogetsu heard crying everywhere. The Uchiha clan members were collecting the bodies of the dead.
Seeing Kageyama Kogetsu arrive with a group of Konoha ninja, the two nearest Uchiha immediately put down the bodies, rushed over, and knelt on the ground, crying and complaining.
"Wuwuwu... Lord Kogetsu, Uchiha Itachi has gone mad! He's a traitor! He killed my husband as soon as he entered the house!"
"Yes, Lord Kogetsu! He killed my brother! You must capture him! Wuwuwu..."
Kageyama Kogetsu said with a blank expression, "Who told your husband and your brother to participate in the coup?"
"Originally, his idea was to slaughter the entire clan to stop the civil unrest in Konoha and protect the Uchiha clan's name."
"It was I who used my strength to force him to change his mind."
"Otherwise, you would already be dead, and the entire Uchiha clan grounds would have become a land of death..."
The crying mother and son's voices came to an abrupt halt, as if an invisible hand had choked their throats...
