I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"As long as you make a good prediction at the very beginning, it's not a difficult thing."

Itachi noticed Obito's shock, calmly bent down, picked up a few kunai from the ground, and casually tossed them into the air.

Ding Ding Ding

The kunai collided with each other, changing their direction, and landed behind one pillar after another.

"The difficulty lies not in lacking throwing skills, but in anticipation and thinking."

Itachi nodded his head. "According to Sister Chiaki, everything in this world has a traceable pattern."

"If there were a creature that could know the position and momentum of all objects, it would surely know everything from ancient times to the present."

"That creature was called the Laplace's Demon by Sister Qianqiu, or perhaps a god."

"...Hmph, I've never believed in any gods or monsters in this world!"

Obito flung his hand away, saying with great dissatisfaction, "That woman, Chiaki, is just using these things to fool people!"

Itachi looked at Obito with pity. He knew very well and was certain that "gods" existed in this world.

Of course, it was not a god, but an incomparably powerful consciousness.

Ms. Kuriyama Mirai, who is next to Chiaki, was once a demigod who did not exist in the current time and space and rules. She was later changed into a human by Chiaki.

Obito was unaware of all this; he was truly a frog in a well.

"Putting everything else aside, Lord Madara, now that you've lost, can we fulfill our bet?"

Itachi took a deep breath, suppressing the supernatural tales, and asked Obito.

"You are a senior member of the Uchiha clan and a powerful figure unparalleled in the ninja world. Surely you wouldn't be so indifferent to your reputation as to break a contract so easily?"

Obito looked at Itachi with a grim expression, and his entire aura began to change.

He wasn't Madara Uchiha, so even if he used Madara's name to break the contract, Obito wouldn't feel any guilt.

Even though Madara Uchiha was his "father," he was already dead, so what need was there for a reputation?

As a ninja, you must use every means to achieve your goal.

Itachi had already noticed the change in Obito's aura. He frowned tightly and secretly formed a hand seal, preparing to immediately restore his strength and fight to the death should Obito launch an attack.

However, in the end, Obito gave up on breaking the contract, and his aura dissipated.

"Okay, you win."

Obito let out a sigh of relief. As the pinnacle of the ninja world, he felt he should indeed be more magnanimous. It was just a bet; if he could break it so easily, what credibility would he have?

You must know that your subordinates have organized an organization called "Akatsuki," and you can't let them have any bad thoughts because of breaking your promise.

"According to the terms of the bet, I will spare the lives of the Uchiha clan."

Obito slightly raised his head. "You can choose one person to stay, as a way for the Uchiha clan to survive!"

"...You are exactly as I imagined."

Itachi had noticed the wordplay left by Obito long ago, but he was now at Obito's mercy and could only grit his teeth and "compliment" Obito.

“If you don’t need this way of life, then I naturally don’t care, Uchiha Itachi.”

Obito ground his teeth, regretfully realizing that he couldn't learn Itachi's kunai throwing technique at all. He wasn't using any special methods, but rather relying on his brain to predict the moves.

Unfortunately, Obito was brainless.

"...Sasuke."

Itachi narrowed his eyes. "I can agree to any of your conditions, but you need to leave Sasuke here!"

"If you keep Sasuke, the entire Uchiha clan will be at your disposal!"

Chapter 551 The Traitor

"That's how it is, Sister Chiaki."

Uchiha Itachi sat quietly in front of Chiaki, his body rippled with layers of chakra fluctuations, and his already somewhat overburdened body looked even weaker now.

Although Chiaki had treated his body once, the body still needs time to be maintained. Chiaki didn't know how long Itachi Uchiha could keep going like this, not taking the time to maintain his body and instead recklessly pushing himself.

"I am deeply grateful for your concern, but this matter involves the entire Uchiha clan, so I can only fail to live up to your expectations and risk my life to complete it."

Uchiha Itachi spoke heavily to Chiaki, straightening his collar, then clasping his hands together in front of him, bowing his head and performing a deep dogeza (a form of prostration) before Chiaki.

"The Uchiha clan may face tremendous changes in the future, but if these changes can preserve the Uchiha clan's vitality and keep Sasuke as a seed, then I think it will all be worthwhile."

Itachi Uchiha's tone grew increasingly somber. "Father has fallen into demonic possession, and most of the Uchiha clan members have also been affected by mental suggestion. Even if Sister Chiaki helps to break their genjutsu, I'm afraid the seeds of rebellion will still remain in their hearts."

"This rebellious spirit has become the greatest karmic obstacle for the Uchiha clan. From Konoha's perspective, there is only one way to resolve this obstacle..."

"Strip away, or destroy."

Qianqiu pursed her lips, looking at the thirteen-year-old boy in front of her. She really couldn't imagine that a boy of such a young age could make such a decision.

Compared to thirteen-year-old boys on Earth, they are just beginning to develop a sense of independence, and it is already quite remarkable that they can understand what they want to do in the future.

As for Itachi, he had already taken the perspective of a Kage, and the perspective of the entire village, to view and even solve the problem.

"What do you want to do?"

Chiaki sighed inwardly and asked Itachi, "Don't you need my help?"

"Sister Qianqiu, as I just said, the seeds of rebellion have been sown within them, and no one can help them..."

Itachi said solemnly, "The only thing you can do for me is to take good care of Sasuke."

"I can promise you that, don't worry."

Chiaki nodded seriously, "You don't need to worry about Sasuke. I will take good care of him."

"The key point is, what are you planning to do?"

"...The Uchiha clan is a clan of honor. It has always been a powerful clan in Konoha, and it must remain a powerful clan in Konoha!"

Itachi was silent for a moment, then said with a fierce expression, "It never did, and could never, betray us!"

"The only thing that exists is that a ninja betrayed the Uchiha clan and destroyed them!"

The ninja who betrayed the Uchiha clan... wiped out and destroyed their clan.

Is this the only way to preserve the honor of the Uchiha clan...?

Chiaki was momentarily dazed, then sighed again, "Itachi, I understand your resolve."

"But how can you achieve your enlightenment alone?"

"You don't think the Uchiha clan are all fools, and you don't think that Obito would let you attack the Uchiha ninjas, do you?"

"...I would appreciate your guidance on this point, Sister Qianqiu..."

Itachi understood this as well, and helplessly bowed to Chiaki and asked. He was naturally not so arrogant as to provoke the entire Uchiha clan with the strength of an elite Jonin.

Even Qianqiu back then failed, and even paid for his future life, let alone himself.

"I'll go with you."

Chiaki lowered her eyes and said to Itachi, "As a witness to the annihilation of the Uchiha clan, I'll go and take a look too."

"Absolutely not, Sister Qianqiu!"

Itachi was so frightened by Chiaki's words that he waved his hands repeatedly, "You are the little princess of Konoha, a person of noble birth, and you absolutely cannot commit such an outrageous act!"

"What? The Senju clan does indeed have a grudge against the Uchiha clan, but we are all ninjas of Konoha now. When we sensed that a traitor was attacking the Uchiha clan, I went to stop it. Who would say a bad word about me?!"

Chiaki suddenly raised her head, exuding the air of a princess. The aura inherited from the thousand-year-old princess of the Land of Whirlpools surged out, and the pressure of royalty made Itachi's face turn pale, and he immediately lowered his head.

"Itachi wouldn't dare..."

"Humph."

Chiaki snorted softly, withdrew her aura, and pointed her slender finger at her chin. "Speaking of which, let's also tell Danzo about this. He's been causing trouble for quite a while now, so let's take care of him as well."

"Danzo-sama?"

Itachi was slightly taken aback, then nodded and bowed. "I understand. The future hopes of the Uchiha clan are all entrusted to Sister Chiaki!"

As for Itachi, he no longer cared what Chiaki wanted to do with this.

His goal was singular, simple, and obvious.

To leave glory for the Uchiha clan, and to leave life for the Uchiha clan.

As long as Sasuke is alive, as long as he is still around, the Uchiha clan will eventually be able to recover its strength.

He didn't want to care about anything else.

"So... I'll continue my activities within the Uchiha clan as Obito instructed?"

After bowing to Chiaki, Itachi sat up straight and asked Chiaki a question.

Qianqiu shook his head at this moment, "Wait a moment, reach out your hand."

"Ok?"

Itachi looked at Chiaki with confusion, but he did not refuse and still reached out his hand to Chiaki.

Itachi was quite certain that if Chiaki wanted to harm him, he wouldn't need many methods.

Chiaki also reached out and gently touched Itachi's wrist.

A pink chakra wave appeared, and a cherry blossom mark immediately appeared on Itachi's wrist. He could clearly feel the chakra belonging to Chiaki contained within the cherry blossom mark.

"This is a portion of my chakra. You can use it to summon a clone of me in an emergency."

Chiaki said calmly, "My clone possesses some of my abilities, but you must be careful about its chakra consumption."

"Also, let me treat your body a bit more."

"Don't use your chakra unless absolutely necessary. Also, if you've awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, try to minimize its use."

As he spoke, strands of pink chakra wrapped around Itachi's body, and streams of nourishing chakra flowed into Itachi's body.

Although Itachi didn't understand why Chiaki wanted him to reduce the frequency of using the Mangekyou Sharingan and chakra, following the doctor's orders was necessary.

"I understand, thank you, Sister Qianqiu!"
