Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

However, Yu Yi Xuan Yue said something that was quite in line with her character, so it didn't suspect anything.

Under the Infinite Tsukuyomi, whether the ninja world is at peace or one person awakens alone.

Black Zetsu didn't care and let them do as they pleased.

In any case, once the Infinite Tsukuyomi, or the Eye of the Moon Project, succeeds, all these people's ideals will come to naught, and in the end, they will only benefit their own mothers.

Looking at Yu Yi Xuan Yue standing in front of the Uchiha stone tablet, she hadn't moved for a long time.

Black Zetsu smiled and slowly sank into the ground.

The fish have taken the bait.

It wasn't in a hurry to use this fish, after all, Obito Uchiha was doing quite well.

Perhaps, when the plan comes to a standstill, I'll give Yu Yi Xuan Yue some hints.

Alternatively, Yu Yi Xuan Yue may have discovered the clues herself and taken action directly.

This would very likely lead to conflict with the Akatsuki organization.

But Black Zetsu thought about it and still didn't take it to heart.

It's like raising a Gu gu. Although you might suffer significant losses due to infighting, you eventually cultivate a powerful Gu king.

However powerful the Gu King may be, in the end, the only one who will benefit is the one who raises the Gu.

The Akatsuki organization, Obito Uchiha, Madara Uchiha (the mastermind behind the scenes), and now another new member, Hagoromo Gengetsu.

So many cards in my hand.

Black Zetsu really doesn't know how he lost.

"Mother, please wait a little longer, I will be able to get you out soon."

With anticipation of reuniting with his future mother and child, Black Zetsu took one last look at Yu Yi Xuan Yue before departing completely.

Although Yu Yi Xuan Yue did not find any trace of Hei Zetsu.

However, even when he was conscious, he still sensed a slight change in the overall atmosphere of the basement at a certain moment, different from before.

He didn't make a sound, but continued to stand in front of the Uchiha stone tablet, playing his role, while pondering in his heart:

"The whereabouts of Jinchuriki are top secret in all the major ninja villages, making it very difficult for outsiders to find out, even if they lock down the village. In this light, the Akatsuki organization is quite useful. After all, they specialize in their field, and having investigated the Tailed Beasts for so many years, coupled with the White Zetsu as a powerful intelligence-gathering tool, they were able to accurately identify and group the Jinchuriki one by one, just like in the original story."

The ninja world is vast.

For Yu Yi Xuan Yue, defeating a Jinchūriki is easy, but finding one is a time-consuming and laborious task.

In this regard, I can wait until the Akatsuki have captured all the Tailed Beasts before reaping the rewards.

However, the Rinnegan ultimately belonged to the other party.

In addition, so many tailed beasts will have been collected by then.

If pushed too far, the opponent might just unleash a crippled version of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Therefore, it's safest to keep the Tailed Beasts and the Rinnegan in your own hands.

In the time that followed, Yu Yi Xuan Yue pondered many subsequent matters.

It was unclear when Black Zetsu had left. When he sensed the arrival of the Uchiha ninja above, he came to his senses and went to the Naga Shrine to view the Uchiha stele. One of his main objectives in summoning Black Zetsu had been achieved, and now it was time to accomplish another.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue walked out of the underground secret chamber and returned to the main hall.

All the Uchiha ninjas, including Sasuke, had arrived. When they saw Hagoromo Gengetsu emerge from the basement, they didn't ask any questions, but simply gave a slight bow.

Knowing Sasuke and the others' feelings at that moment, Hagoromo Gengetsu didn't say anything unnecessary. He flashed away, leaving the stage to the parties involved.

At this moment, the dusty hall was very quiet.

Sasuke and the others closed their eyes.

She waited silently for the man.

Uchiha Itachi!

Ding ding ding~~~

The familiar sound of wind chimes rang out outside the gates of Konoha.

Uchiha Itachi arrived as promised.

Along with him came his teammate, Kisame Hoshigaki.

When Kisame first became Itachi's teammate, his role was to keep an eye on him, and their relationship was only so-so.

But having been partners for so long, he actually had great respect for Itachi deep down.

After learning that Itachi would be fighting his brother in a final battle, Kisame did not leave alone. Instead, he handed over the Four-Tails Jinchuriki to White Zetsu and, as always, accompanied him on his journey.

This time, he had no intention of spying.

Yes, it's just a gift from a friend.

Soon, the clear sound of wind chimes reached inside the gate.

Izumo Kamizuki and Tetsuo were diligently guarding the gate.

Itachi Uchiha glanced at them.

Knowing it was an illusion, he ignored their questions, passed through the gate, and headed towards the Nanga Shrine.

Kisame followed beside Itachi Uchiha.

As he approached a cluster of dilapidated buildings, which was the former territory of the Uchiha clan, he turned to look at Itachi, wondering what the other was thinking.

However, Itachi Uchiha remained expressionless and gave no response throughout.

After passing through a pile of ruins, the two arrived at the collapsed red torii gate.

Looking up at the ascending stairs and at the Naga Shrine's main hall, which still exuded a sense of majesty despite its dilapidated state, Itachi Uchiha said to Kisame beside him:

"Just send it here."

Kisame stopped and looked at Itachi Uchiha: "There are quite a few people up there. Are you sure you don't need me to clear out any irrelevant people for you?"

“Those people are not irrelevant.”

Uchiha Itachi shook his head slightly, then stepped onto the stairs and walked upwards step by step.

Kisame did not follow, but simply watched Itachi Uchiha's figure gradually disappear from his sight.

The main hall of Naka Shrine is very large, having been a frequent meeting place for the Uchiha clan.

When Itachi Uchiha stepped over the long stairs and arrived in front of the main hall, he exerted force on the dusty, decaying door and pushed it open.

Inside the spacious hall, pairs of Sharingan eyes, which had been waiting for a long time, opened instantly, their blood-red light filled with hatred and killing intent shining fiercely at the newcomer.

"Uchiha Itachi!!!"

Chapter 181 Brothers Reunited, Uchiha Civil War

"Itachi Uchiha!"

Upon seeing Itachi Uchiha again, Sasuke realized that he was not as violent as he had imagined.

On the contrary, he was unusually calm at that moment.

Of course, his murderous intent remained undiminished.

At this moment, facing the icy gazes of more than a dozen Sharingan eyes, Itachi Uchiha remained completely unmoved.

Upon entering the hall, he ignored everyone else and immediately looked at Sasuke, scrutinizing him from head to toe before calmly saying:

"Sasuke, you've grown quite a bit taller."

Sasuke replied in a cold tone, "You haven't changed at all; your eyes are still so indifferent."

"is it?"

Looking at Sasuke, who was still motionless, Itachi Uchiha said with slight surprise, "You're not like last time, shouting and rushing over recklessly."

The last time the brothers met was in the corridor of an inn outside Konoha.

A memory flashed through Sasuke's mind.

The moment he saw Itachi Uchiha, he was filled with rage and attacked alone, but Chidori was easily broken.

but now

Sasuke chuckled and looked at Itachi Uchiha, saying, "As expected, you don't understand me at all. Those were the days. Now, I've walked my own path. Itachi Uchiha, prepare to face our wrath!"

"us?"

Upon hearing Sasuke's words, Itachi Uchiha finally looked away and scanned the crowd.

"Uchiha Itachi!!!"

Uchiha Jun, Uchiha Yoko, Uchiha Kaori, and others stared at him with hatred in their eyes.

Before they could say anything more, Itachi Uchiha ignored them and quickly passed by.

Itachi paused for a moment when he saw Izumi Uchiha's face, which was both unfamiliar and familiar.

However, he quickly withdrew his gaze expressionlessly and looked back at Sasuke, saying, "So, your reliance is on these people? A group of Uchiha remnants who have luckily escaped death and lingered on for so many years?"

"Uchiha Itachi! We've waited all these years for this moment! To kill you right here and now!!" Uchiha Jun finally couldn't hold back any longer and roared in anger.

In response, Itachi Uchiha calmly shook his head and said, "You should have found a quiet place and continued to live no matter what, instead of coming here to die and wasting the luck you have."

“My mother is dead, my grandmother is dead, my friends are dead, my clansmen are all dead. If we don’t take revenge, what’s the point of living?” At this moment, Uchiha Izumi looked at Uchiha Itachi with red eyes and said each word clearly.

Uchiha Itachi was silent.

He didn't look at Uchiha Izumi, and after a short while, he said briefly:

"To live is to have meaning."

Having said that, ignoring the other Uchiha, Itachi turned to Sasuke and said again, "I told you that when you have eyes like mine, you can come to me. But right now, you don't seem to be qualified."

"You need to kill your closest friends and family to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan? I'm not you. I have no interest in such a vile method of advancement." Sasuke sneered, gripping the hilt of his sword. "No need for the Mangekyou Sharingan. I, and everyone else, can still kill you with our own hands."

"Sasuke, you keep saying 'everyone' over and over again. You've really changed."
