But this heartwarming atmosphere didn't last long.
"Itachi!!"
A roar like a thunderbolt exploded.
The other revived Uchiha dead, the moment they saw Itachi, the confusion in their eyes was instantly consumed by rage.
The first to rush up was Uchiha Tekka.
A former member of the Uchiha Police Force, also a standard hawk of the Uchiha Clan.
He closed the distance in a few strides and swung a fist as big as a casserole—
Bang!
The punch landed on Itachi's face.
Itachi's body was knocked backward. Fortunately, the Four Gay Bros were holding his limbs, preventing him from falling.
Blood spurted from Itachi's nostrils, mixing with dust, leaving a shocking trail on his pale face.
He didn't fight back.
Nor did he dodge.
And not just Tekka.
Other Uchiha Clan's members rushed forward as well.
"You beast!"
"You killed my wife!"
"Why did you lay hands on my child?!"
"Do you have any conscience?!"
The shouts of curses rose and fell, each voice filled with the venom and hatred accumulated over the years.
Their last memory before death was the blade of this clan genius.
That face, once the pride of the entire Uchiha Clan, had become the face of death on that night.
Among them, a mother rushed up crying, pounding on Itachi's chest while screaming at the top of her lungs:
"You killed my child! He was three! Three years old! He didn't understand anything! Why did you kill him?!"
The woman's voice was shrill and desperate, like a blunt knife slicing across everyone's hearts.
The original inhabitants of the Naruto World and the players present were all dead silent.
'He could even kill a child?'
'That was too beastly.'
Even Naruto, usually so cheerful, was silent now.
His blue eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
'This was the man Sasuke had always talked about killing?'
Makoto watched the scene, the corner of his mouth curling up slightly, as he added a jab:
"So there were children in the Uchiha Clan back then? I thought Sasuke was the only minor in the entire Uchiha Clan."
Every word was like a knife, precisely stabbing into Itachi's heart.
It must be known that during the Fourth Great Ninja War, Sasuke had asked Itachi why he had spared him alone. Itachi's explanation at the time was: because you knew nothing of the Uchiha Clan's sins, you were innocent.
It made it sound like Sasuke was the only child left in the entire Uchiha Clan.
And now, suddenly there's a 'three-year-old child'?
'So, eight-year-old Sasuke is innocent, but a three-year-old child is guilty, right?'
'Amazing, amazing.'
Makoto smiled and shook his head.
More and more Uchiha Clan's members couldn't contain their inner anger and rushed up, punching and kicking Itachi.
Although the offerings used by Megumi for the Edo Tensei were a group of criminals caught from the border of the Land of Fire, meaning these summoned Uchiha Clan's members probably couldn't exert even half their original strength…
At that moment, Itachi didn't have the face to resist.
He hung his head, letting the blows rain down on him.
His remaining Mangekyo Sharingan was already swollen shut into a slit, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth onto the ground.
But Itachi still gritted his teeth and remained silent, like a rag doll, beaten over and over again by his former clansmen.
Fugaku couldn't bear to watch.
He opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything to dissuade them. He just forced a change of subject, looking at Tsunade, and asked:
"Are... are you Tsunade-sama? How is Konoha... now?"
His voice carried a trace of deliberately maintained calm.
Makoto saw through Fugaku's little intention at a glance.
He smiled and exposed him, asking a sharp question:
"Uchiha Fugaku, you really are something else as clan leader."
To be honest, Fugaku's level of absurdity as a father wasn't much less than his eldest son's.
At the time, he could have led the Uchiha Clan in rebellion, or simply knelt down before the Elder Council and offered to be their dog.
Neither choice would have been surprising.
But he chose the most dramatic option of all—
He just did nothing.
He stood by and let his clansmen die by his eldest son's blade.
Although Makoto admitted that the Uchiha were not mentally stable, having to put up with this father-and-son pair, they really were incredibly unlucky.
And with these words from Makoto, the other Uchiha victims realized—
That their clan leader also bore responsibility for their clan's downfall.
However, they didn't attack Fugaku like they had Itachi.
After all, they had already released most of their anger on Itachi.
Moreover, seeing Fugaku, who was already dead like them, their feelings were more of a helplessness toward their own fate.
Anger, disappointment, yet helpless.
Just like what Madara said to the Edo Tensei Tobirama during the future Fourth Great Ninja War:
Venting anger on a talking corpse is meaningless.
Seriously, stuck with this father-and-son pair, it was a dead end either way.
At that moment, the Uchiha Clan's members also noticed the changes in the village.
They looked at Tsunade, who was looking back at them with complex eyes.
Uchiha Yashiro, the deputy captain of the Uchiha Police Force, also held considerable respect for this princess of the Senju Clan.
"Tsunade-sama..."
Yashiro's voice was slightly hoarse, "What is the situation in Konoha now? Are there... any survivors of the Uchiha Clan?"
Although Tsunade was from the Senju Clan, even the Uchiha would give her some respect.
After all, during the Second and Third Great Ninja Wars, many of the people Tsunade saved were from the Uchiha.
Tsunade let out a long sigh.
"Danzo, who planned the Uchiha Massacre, is dead."
"There are currently only three members of the Uchiha Clan left… Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Itachi, and Uchiha Sasuke."
"Uchiha Obito?!"
Everyone's expression froze.
"Wait, didn't that kid die over ten years ago?"
"How is he still around?"
"I remember the Kannabi Bridge battle clearly, didn't he get crushed by a boulder?"
"Back then, quite a few people in the clan opposed him giving his Sharingan to Hatake Kakashi."
The Uchiha Clan's members showed expressions of disbelief, one after another.
Tsunade then told them what she knew… that Obito had also participated in the Uchiha Massacre.
After some thought, Tsunade decided to delete Hiruzen's role.
The more they listened, the wider their eyes grew.
'Damn, how come our Uchiha had so many traitors?'
The hawks, Tekka and Inabi, listened with growing anger and couldn't help but ask Makoto:
"Please bring Uchiha Obito as well!"
"We must take revenge with our own hands!"
Makoto didn't refuse.
"Beam, go bring Obito."
"Yes!"
Beam acknowledged the order, turned, and quickly left.
Time passed minute by minute.
The people in the square waited.
The Uchiha Clan's members clenched their fists, ready to rush up the moment Obito appeared.
Kakashi stood by with mixed feelings. On one hand, he certainly didn't want to see Obito beaten, but on the other hand, he knew Obito deserved to be judged.
Tsunade crossed her arms, expressionless.
However—
Beam returned shortly after leaving.
His expression was very bad, his forehead beaded with sweat, looking panicked.
"Makoto-sama!"
Beam rushed to Makoto and said breathlessly:
"Uchiha Obito... is gone!!"
At these words—
Tsunade's face changed drastically.
Kakashi's pupil contracted sharply.
The Konoha's Ninjas began to stir.
"Escaped?"
"How is that possible?! What the hell are those people in the Torture and Interrogation Force doing?!"
"Could he have an accomplice?"
The murmuring in the square instantly exploded into an uproar.
And Makoto also put on a shocked expression.
"What? Escaped? Initiate immediate pursuit! Seal off all exits!"
However, no one noticed that at the same time, the corner of Makoto's mouth curled into an almost invisible arc.
'According to Keikaku.'
