Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 118 Ino is attracted by beauty

"Yay! I'll be able to see Sasuke again soon!"

Sakura Haruno clenched her fists, her pink hair swaying with her excitement.

"Sasuke-kun doesn't like you."

Yamanaka Ino rolled her eyes and said, "Wide forehead, I advise you to go and kill Naruto. He's your biggest rival in love."

"Inoboro! What nonsense are you spouting?"

Sakura Haruno, her anger rising, said, "Naruto's a man, how could Sasuke possibly like him?"

Who knows?

Yamanaka Ino lost interest in arguing and turned to look out the window.

I wonder if that handsome guy named Natsume is still around?

I forgot to ask him where he lives.

"Something's not right with you!"

Sakura Haruno realized the problem.

Ino didn't try to take Sasuke's ownership from her today.

This is absolutely unprecedented.

They are best friends who have been together since childhood. Their personalities and interests are quite similar, which is why they both like Sasuke.

But Ino is acting very strangely now, contrary to her usual behavior.

"Hey, Ino-boo, what's wrong with you?"

Sakura Haruno asked with some concern.

"I'm fine."

Yamanaka Ino, on the other hand, looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Actually, her competition with Sakura Haruno for Sasuke Uchiha was just a way of showing affection; it was her way of expressing friendship.

At her age, she doesn't understand anything about love.

Of course, Sasuke Uchiha's outstanding appearance also played a part.

"...?"

Sakura Haruno frowned and asked bluntly, "Then why aren't you excited? Aren't you usually more excited than me at this time?"

Where?

Yamanaka Ino vehemently denied it, saying, "It was because I was about to leave school."

"You're lying!"

Sakura Haruno narrowed her eyes and asked, "Is it because of that handsome guy today?"

"no!"

Yamanaka Ino answered without hesitation.

But Sakura Haruno, who knows her well, understands that she is saying one thing and meaning another, what is commonly known as being stubborn.

But this guy betrayed us way too quickly, didn't he?

After meeting him once, he abandoned Sasuke.

Sakura Haruno suddenly thought of a question: without Ino's competition, wouldn't that mean...?

and many more!

And then there's Naruto.

Damn it!

Why is he able to occupy most of Sasuke's time?

Yamanaka Ino secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Haruno Sakura didn't ask any further questions.

To be honest, she was also a little confused.

But... he's so handsome!

Yamanaka Ino's eyes sparkled.

Just then, the classroom door opened.

The homeroom teacher, Iruka Umino, walked in with a stack of test papers.

Amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, he spoke up, "I received an urgent notice from the school that we're delayed by two hours today. We must finish this exam before we can leave."

The next moment, screams of agony rang out.

Yamanaka Ino felt a sudden panic.

My handsome guy is gone.

What kind of test paper is this? Can't I do it tomorrow?

So annoying!

At this moment, on a cherry blossom tree not far from the teaching building.

Uchiha Itachi stood quietly.

His vision reflected the image of Uchiha Sasuke.

After a long while, he transformed into a crow and disappeared into the sky.

Night falls.

Konoha Village is as lively as ever today.

Uchiha Itachi walked down the street with an extremely calm expression, only his eyes flashing with struggle and pain.

The number of pedestrians on both sides gradually decreased.

He has already entered the sphere of influence of the Uchiha clan.

Behind him, Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru's group appeared.

"Go set up a protective barrier!"

Danzo Shimura could no longer contain his joy; even his tone was unusually excited. "We absolutely cannot let anyone out!"

Orochimaru glanced at him but didn't say anything.

He turned to look at Uchiha Itachi and licked his lips.

The three-tomoe Sharingan alone is not enough for him.

His plan was to take advantage of Itachi Uchiha's fight with Fugaku Uchiha to steal his Mangekyou Sharingan.

As for the so-called promise, that was made by Danzo Shimura, and had nothing to do with him.

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi asks, there will be a reason.

He didn't actually do anything; he just picked up the unwanted Mangekyou Sharingan.

Besides, the old man probably isn't in the mood to concern himself with his affairs.

The members at the root immediately dispersed and prepared to form a barrier at their designated positions.

Once a fight breaks out, a barrier will be erected.

No one can escape this fate.

Itachi Uchiha was aware of their actions, but he did not stop them.

To cut the weeds, you must pull them out by the roots.

He understood perfectly well.

"Itachi, you're back. Everyone's been waiting for you."

The middle-aged man guarding the gate greeted us warmly.

Itachi Uchiha nodded expressionlessly.

With a casual flick of his wrist, the blade flashed, blood spurted out, and he slit the throat of the person in front of him.

"Itachi, you..."

The middle-aged man stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

"I'm sorry, but I have to do this for the sake of Konoha."

Uchiha Itachi spoke coldly as he withdrew his sword.

Then, with a blank expression, he activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and slowly walked into the base.

The killings officially began.

"Uchiha Itachi, have you gone mad?"

"Damn it! Everyone be careful!"

"Aaaaaah!"

The sounds rose and fell.

Uchiha Izumi was suddenly awakened.

Because of her age and status, she was not allowed to participate in the rebellion.

He is currently resting at home.

Itachi Uchiha attacked from the edge inwards.

Uchiha Izumi's house was not far away.

She smelled a strong stench of blood, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly ran out of the room.

The mother, Uchiha Hazuki, also woke up because of the sound.

"Izumi, has something happened?"

"Mother, you stay here, I'll go check on things."

Uchiha Izumi took out a kunai and quickly disappeared into the distance.

There were corpses everywhere along the way.

Finally, she saw a familiar figure from behind, and was instantly struck dumb.

"Itachi?!"

Uchiha Izumi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Itachi Uchiha paused slightly in his sword-wielding motion, turned around, and looked at his confidante.

His face and body were covered in blood.

Everything was proclaiming that he was the murderer.

"Itachi, what are you doing?!"

Due to her emotional agitation, Uchiha Izumi's three-tomoe Sharingan activated on its own, emanating an invisible, chilling aura.

Itachi Uchiha remained silent.

His eyes widened suddenly.

Tsukuyomi!

Sorry, die in your dreams.

Uchiha Itachi ignored her and headed towards the center, which was his house.

Uchiha Izumi stood there, stunned.

With her strength, there is absolutely no way she could escape Tsukuyomi.

Just then, the honeysuckle pattern on her arm began to shimmer with a faint light.

Natsume suddenly appeared.

He activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, grabbed Uchiha Izumi's shoulder, channeled his eye power and chakra, and dispelled her genjutsu.

Pupil techniques are essentially a contest of pupil power.

As long as one has sufficiently powerful eye power, one can gain the upper hand.

Uchiha Itachi had just awakened his Sharingan and was far inferior to him.

"Itachi!"

After waking up, Uchiha Izumi instinctively called out.

But he soon noticed that the person in front of him was not Uchiha Itachi, but Natsume.

"Take your mother to the northeast corner; someone will meet you there."

Natsume raised a finger and pressed it to her lips, saying, "Uchiha Itachi, I'll handle this. If you don't hurry, the Root members will appear."

Upon hearing the words "Root," Uchiha Izumi trembled and, disregarding everything else, immediately turned to find her mother.

Fourth update. PS: Because Karin might be unable to be written, I plan to add more scenes for Ino.
