Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

Parallel Ninja World.

After leaving the Nara family's residence.

Five ghostly figures quickly appeared in a secluded alley.

"Everyone, please stop for a moment."

"We've come here on a mission!"

"First, gather information about this parallel ninja world."

"Second, gather all the materials and build a time-space portal on the spot."

"Bringing His Majesty Chiba and the Imperial Army here is of paramount importance."

Nara Shikamaru leaned against the mottled earthen wall.

He rubbed his throbbing temples, his face clearly showing his annoyance.

"Why don't you handle the collecting of materials?"

"I want to go and take a look at the Uchiha headquarters."

Sasuke clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

What I just heard from Shikaku in Nara was utterly absurd!

The Uchiha clan of this world has actually been driven to the brink of despair by the Konoha leadership.

And that Uchiha Itachi!

Not only did he fail to carry the family banner, but he also served as a lackey for the higher-ups every day.

Sasuke simply cannot accept this!

In the empire, the Uchiha clan was an untouchable force.

Shisui is the vice-captain of the Anbu, and Itachi is the pride of the clan.

Why should the Uchiha clan in this world live such a repressed life?

"Sasuke-kun..."

"Don't get so angry."

The pharmacist adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

The lenses reflected a cold, gleaming light under the moonlight.

"Everyone."

"In fact."

"Konoha has the materials to build a teleportation portal."

"That is Danzo's main base—the Root Base."

"I used to work at the Roots."

"The warehouse at the root is piled high with good stuff."

Speaking of it.

Kabuto licked his lips.

He had been eyeing the contraband experimental materials of the Danzo for a long time.

"If you're going to steal, then steal."

"You really deserve praise for saying it so elegantly and refinedly..."

Temari stood to the side with her arms crossed.

She looked at these monsters from Konoha and was speechless.

but.

She actually agreed with taking things from parallel worlds.

"Something's not right."

"A large number of members from the shadows and the root are rapidly assembling."

"Their target is the Uchiha clan's stronghold."

"The entire Uchiha compound has been surrounded by them."

Just then.

Neji Hyuga, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

These words were spoken.

The air in the alley froze instantly.

"These high-ranking officials are trash!"

"They actually dared to make a move?"

Sasuke suddenly raised his head, his eyes turning into crimson three-tomoe jade.

No further explanation is needed.

In the dead of night, their elite forces were dispatched to surround a powerful ninja clan.

What other purpose could there be besides annihilating the entire clan?

"I need to go there."

After leaving those four words.

Sasuke then prepared to activate the Body Flicker Technique.

"etc!"

Shikamaru grabbed Sasuke's shoulder.

"What? You're going to stop me?"

Sasuke turned around abruptly, his three-tomoe Sharingan eyes radiating killing intent.

Neji.

"Can you see the condition of the root base clearly?"

Shikamaru ignored Sasuke and turned to Hyuga Neji to ask.

"The elite troops from the roots have all come out."

"Now, the root base is only left with a few small fry responsible for guarding the perimeter."

Neji nodded and responded seriously.

"Excellent, a golden opportunity."

"Sasuke, go to the Uchiha base and do whatever you want."

"As for the four of us."

"Target: the Roots underground base!"

"Before dawn, ransack Danzo's clothes!"

A faint smile appeared on Shikamaru's face.

Done.

He then released his hand that was holding Sasuke down.

next moment.

Sasuke's figure flickered and instantly disappeared from his original position.

Is this really a good idea?

"Konoha has clearly been planning this for a long time."

"Won't Sasuke encounter any danger going alone?"

See the direction Sasuke disappeared in.

A look of worry appeared on Temari's face.

Don't worry.

"Sasuke is a Kage-level shikigami certified by the Empire, and he has also mastered Sage Mode."

"Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo joined forces, they couldn't easily defeat Sasuke!"

"not to mention."

"Once we're done here, we can go help that guy!"

"..."

……

Uchiha headquarters.

Itachi Uchiha was still standing on a telephone pole.

Those Mangekyou Sharingan eyes emitted a desperate red light in the darkness.

"Everything for Konoha."

"All for peace."

Uchiha Itachi silently repeated these two sentences in his mind.

Only in this way could he suppress the trembling deep within his soul.

To protect Sasuke...

To prevent the village from descending into civil war...

He accepted the bloody mission from his superiors—to bury all his kin with his own hands!

A moment later.

Uchiha Itachi took a deep breath, forcing himself not to think about his parents' faces.

He suddenly leaped off the telephone pole and landed in a narrow alleyway.

Ahead lies the home of an ordinary clansman.

A faint light shone through the window, and you could even hear the murmurs of a sleeping child.

"Forgive me..."

soon.

Uchiha Itachi walked to the door and drew the ninja sword from his back.

He closed his eyes, slowly raised his arm, and prepared to split open the wooden door.

"cut!"

"What are you planning to do, carrying a broken knife in the middle of the night?"

Just then.

A voice filled with rage exploded behind Itachi Uchiha.

The sound came without warning.

Uchiha Itachi's hair stood on end. He turned around abruptly and held his ninja sword horizontally in front of his chest.

How is that possible?

How could someone be able to sneak up to within ten steps of him without making a sound?

By the faint moonlight.

Uchiha Itachi recognized the person who had come.

It was a young man wearing a black turtleneck trench coat.

His facial features were distinct, exuding an undisguised arrogance.

Even more deadly was that three scarlet tomoe were also swirling in the boy's eyes!

Clang!

Itachi Uchiha's hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably.

He stared in horror, his eyes wide.

How is that possible?

This face... these features...

This is clearly Sasuke after he grew up!

but.

His younger brother is only eight years old!

"Who are you?"

Uchiha Itachi questioned sharply.

His Mangekyou Sharingan was fixed on the boy in front of him.

Is this an illusion?

Or is it some kind of advanced transformation technique?

Or was it some kind of horrific experiment created by Danzo?

"who I am?"

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly!"

"I am Uchiha Sasuke!"

Looking at that familiar yet unfamiliar face.

Sasuke's feelings were very complicated, and his tone became cold.

In the Empire, he respected the weasel.

Because the Itachi there was a genuine Uchiha genius.

But what about this Itachi in front of us?

For the sake of the so-called greater good, they actually came to slaughter their own people?

This is a complete brainwashed piece of trash!

"court death!"

Hearing Sasuke's words.

Itachi Uchiha's breathing instantly became heavy.

He didn't believe Sasuke at all.

His younger brother, Sasuke, is only 8 years old this year.

No matter how much this person looks like him, he is definitely not the real Sasuke.

the most important is.

Tonight's plan absolutely cannot have any unexpected issues.

With this in mind.

Uchiha Itachi stomped his foot, and the bluestone slabs on the ground shattered inch by inch.

He transformed into a bolt of black lightning and charged straight at Sasuke.

And the ninja sword in his hand was pointed at Sasuke's throat.

"You want to kill me?"

"With your weak and feeble swordsmanship?"

Sasuke scoffed and advanced instead of retreating.

He didn't even grab his ninja tools; he simply reached out with one hand.

next moment.

Sasuke's hand gripped the back of the sword with perfect precision.

A tremendous force traveled along the blade and was transmitted to Itachi Uchiha.

The ninja sword in his hand could no longer advance even an inch!

How is that possible?

Catching a blade with bare hands?

but.

Itachi Uchiha has extensive combat experience.

He immediately loosened his grip on the hilt of his sword, using the momentum to leap into the air, and unleashed a series of kicks that struck Sasuke's head.

"Fancy and overly complicated."

Sasuke casually slapped out with his other hand.

"Slap! Slap!"

Two muffled thuds followed.

Itachi Uchiha's series of kicks were easily neutralized.

The immense recoil caused Itachi Uchiha to flip upside down in the air before landing on an open ground a few meters away.

at the same time.

Sasuke's counterattack has arrived.

He appeared beside Itachi Uchiha as if by teleportation.

A simple, unadorned side kick struck Uchiha Itachi in the waist and abdomen.

fast!

That's incredibly fast!

Even when the Mangekyou Sharingan is almost there, it can only catch a fleeting afterimage!

Uchiha Itachi was shocked and instinctively crossed his arms to protect himself.

"Bang!"

The dull thud sounded like the beating of a drum.

Uchiha Itachi was kicked away like a kite with a broken string.

He crashed through two sections of the wall and finally fell awkwardly into a pile of rubble.
