Uchiha Itachi's tone was solemn.
Don't be fooled by his earlier demeanor, appearing determined to massacre his entire clan. Now that he had just been persuaded by Uchiha Shisui and changed his mindset, he instantly adopted a stance ready to kill the Sarutobi Clan.
There was no choice!
For those in power, a Ninja like Uchiha Itachi is a double-edged sword!
It's no wonder that in the original work, after he massacred the entire clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't even try to keep him, and without a second word, chased him away.
Clearly, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage at the time, must have been frightened by Uchiha Itachi.
This guy, his heart is truly ruthless!
Now that this blade is in his hands, what if he suddenly changes his mind one day? What if this blade ends up in someone else's hands? For example, Danzo!
Especially since, after Uchiha Itachi killed the entire clan, while a transmigrator would know that Uchiha Itachi still had Uchiha Sasuke as a bond, the locals like Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know that!
So, forget it. To avoid this blade ending up in someone else's hands and dealing a blow to the Sarutobi Clan, it was better to send him far away immediately.
As for killing him? What are you thinking! If Konoha had that ability, would there still be a need to suppress the Uchiha Clan?
"Good, that's settled!"
"I am authorizing you now; the Radical Faction is under your command."
"Uchiha Itachi..."
"Do not let me down a second time!"
Uchiha Setsuna spoke first and directly handed over the leadership of the faction.
There was no choice! Time was tight, and there was no time to waste.
Just like in the other world when he handed the faction over to Uchiha Jin, he displayed his decisiveness once again. Even though Uchiha Itachi had wanted to massacre the entire clan just moments ago, he still handed over the faction's leadership.
Uchiha Itachi nodded. He didn't make any promises; he just nodded at the crowd.
Once the members of the Radical Faction arrived, he led them using the Body Flicker Technique, hiding their figures while secretly heading towards the Uchiha Clan Compound.
"Very good, excellent!"
"Tonight, on the Night of the Massacre, we've solved a major problem."
"This is a good omen!"
Uchiha Fugaku was very happy at this moment. After Uchiha Itachi led the team away, he was the first to breathe a sigh of relief.
There was no choice! This was his own son! If Uchiha Shisui hadn't persuaded Uchiha Itachi, then tonight would surely have ended in mutual slaughter between father and son.
The reason was simple. Unlike in the original work, this time Uchiha Itachi had failed to massacre the entire clan!
If Uchiha Itachi had been able to secretly kill all the old and young of the clan, then in order for Uchiha Sasuke to survive, Uchiha Fugaku would not have resisted and would have chosen to die alongside his wife.
Now, however, it was different! Since Uchiha Itachi had failed to massacre the clan, given the size of the Uchiha Clan, if they united under the threat of annihilation, even if they couldn't seize the Hokage's power in Konoha, they wouldn't be easily wiped out by Konoha either.
So, if he didn't fight a battle with Uchiha Itachi and kill the child with his own hands, how would Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Mikoto live in the clan from now on? Would he, as the clan leader, still be qualified to hold this position?
But now? Uchiha Itachi had been persuaded by Uchiha Shisui; he didn't need to struggle or make a choice anymore!
Just as Uchiha Fugaku was feeling excited, Uchiha Shisui suddenly walked in: "Clan Leader Uchiha Fugaku, I have something to discuss with you in private."
"Is that so? Very well." Uchiha Fugaku nodded.
Looking at Uchiha Shisui now, he found him more and more pleasing to the eye. After all, Uchiha Shisui deserved the greatest credit for preventing him from having to kill his own son, Uchiha Itachi.
The other Uchihas didn't say much either! Because even though they were all clansmen, not everything was suitable for everyone to hear. As long as they were certain that Uchiha Shisui's heart was with the Uchiha, that was enough.
"Clan Leader, do not resist!" Uchiha Shisui immediately used genjutsu to relay information about Uchiha Obito's abilities and what he hoped Uchiha Fugaku would do.
There was no choice; it had to be done! After all, Uchiha Shisui, who came from another world, knew very well that in the Uchiha Clan Compound today, and even in all of Konoha, there were surely a large number of undiscovered White Zetsu hiding, and perhaps one was hiding right next to them.
Therefore, using genjutsu was the best method! Although Uchiha Shisui did not possess a genjutsu as terrifying as Tsukuyomi, being able to awaken an ultimate genjutsu like Kotoamatsukami was enough to demonstrate Uchiha Shisui's terrifying talent in genjutsu, so constructing a secret space for conversation was not difficult.
The next moment. After Uchiha Fugaku finished receiving the information from Uchiha Shisui, he was instantly stunned and froze in place.
What was going on? How did Uchiha Shisui know that he had awakened the Mangekyo? He hadn't used it in front of anyone! And... how did he even know his Mangekyo Dōjutsu? It was too terrifying!
However. Now was not the time to ask too many questions. Everything should wait until they survived the Night of the Massacre and stabilized the entire clan before discussing anything else.
"Rest assured, Uchiha Shisui!"
"I have noted what you said. As long as the other party truly dares to make a move, I will give him a lesson he will never forget for the rest of his life."
Uchiha Fugaku was silent for a moment, then gave his promise. Immediately after, his eyes became serious, and his brain began to think non-stop.
Uchiha Obito... that mysterious Uchiha from the Nine-Tails Attack Night was actually the dead last of the original Minato team? What terrifying talent to be able to awaken a Dōjutsu like Kamui.
However. Why did Uchiha Shisui know so many secrets? He really couldn't figure it out; he had clearly predicted the future, so why hadn't he predicted this scene? Could there be a problem with his Mangekyo Dōjutsu?
Just as everyone was lost in thought, the space in front of them suddenly twisted, and a man wearing a spiral mask and the uniform of the Akatsuki Organization appeared.
"I really didn't expect to be treated to such a great show!"
"Uchiha Shisui, you're not dead?"
"Even that guy Uchiha Itachi has been pulled into your camp."
"You really have skills!"
"No wonder when I broke into the Police Force, I found that it was just a group of Shadow Clones."
With this person's appearance, Uchiha Shisui immediately drew his katana. Without a second word, he activated his Mangekyo and shouted to everyone present: "Everyone, scatter! Do not attempt any probing attacks!"
"This is the culprit behind the Nine-Tails Attack Night. His name is Uchiha Obito, and his Mangekyo Dōjutsu is Kamui, which allows him to place himself in another dimension. What you are seeing now is just an afterimage."
"Any probing will be ineffective!"
"But the moment he attacks, he must step out of the other dimension. Only at that moment will he be physical!"
"If you attack, find the right timing!"
"Of course!"
"Even if you kill him, do not let your guard down. He has mastered the Uchiha Clan's forbidden technique—Izanagi!"
"He can sacrifice a Three-Tomoe Sharingan to change his own unfavorable situation of death."
Uchiha Shisui did not hide Uchiha Obito's identity and spilled all his secrets without hesitation. There was only one thing he truly kept hidden! That was Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyo Dōjutsu, the true killing blow to defeat Uchiha Obito!
