In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 43 Finding a Stepfather for Erzhuzi

Fugaku looked at Mikoto and said sternly, "Mikoto, you should know that the Uchiha clan is finished. As the head of the Uchiha clan, I have an unshirkable responsibility to die in the line of duty. But you are different. You are not only a member of the Uchiha clan, but also Sasuke's mother. I don't want that child to live the rest of his life in darkness."

In reality, Fugaku never intended to be cuckolded.

However, if Mikoto dies, and given how things develop, if Itachi, acting on orders from the Konoha higher-ups, were to take action against Chiya, then given Chiya's vengeful nature, he would show absolutely no mercy.

If Chiya was able to silently slaughter the Shimura and Sarutobi clans, it's highly likely that Itachi would die at the hands of the former.

With the eldest son dead, the younger son's life was in grave danger.

For the sake of his two sons and the revival of the Uchiha clan, he had no choice but to entrust Mikoto to Chiya.

Hearing "Sasuke," Mikoto's heart softened again. She lowered her head and said nothing more.

"Please, Chiya." Fugaku Uchiha bowed to Chiya again.

Mikoto hesitated for a moment, then knelt down with tears in her eyes.

"I understand. Taking her out isn't difficult, but ensuring her safety once she's out there is a big problem."

"You should know that she's different from Izumi; she's someone who knows the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre. If people find out she's still alive, it will cause a lot of trouble."

"In other words, Aunt Mikoto, for a long time to come, you will need to announce that you have faked your death and will never be able to see Sasuke again. As for the filial son, that will be even more impossible."

Chiya looked at Mikoto with admiration, but in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of pure gold that could grant immortality to a beautiful woman, wife—oops, I mean, and make people live forever—and chose to agree to Fugaku's conditions.

"I am deeply grateful." Uchiha Mikoto closed her eyes in anguish, tears streaming uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.

"Time is running out. Next, I will use a special sealing technique to send you and Izumi into another dimension. Then I will create an illusion that can fool the Mangekyou Sharingan, and let it die at Itachi's hands in your place. Once we reach a safe enough place, I will release you."

As she spoke, Chiya summoned a crow, drew her Zanpakuto from her waist, and whispered, "Shatter! Kyoka Suigetsu."

In an instant, Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha felt their souls dazed for a moment. When they looked at Chiya again, they saw that the crow beside him had somehow turned into Mikoto.

"That's truly an amazing skill. Not only the appearance, but even the chakra is almost identical." Fugaku Uchiha exclaimed, his Mangekyou Sharingan wide open.

"Alright, let's begin." Chiya walked up to Uchiha Mikoto. "Are you ready?"

Mikoto Uchiha glanced at Fugaku one last time, and Fugaku returned her a relieved smile, saying, "Don't worry, Mikoto. Sasuke will need you in the future."

Upon hearing this, Mikoto nodded sadly, knowing that after this, the two would be separated forever.

Qianye didn't waste any more words with them. Suddenly, he pressed Meiqin's pressure point, causing her to lose consciousness.

Then, symbolically and quickly forming hand seals, he placed both palms on Mikoto's chest and, to Fugaku's horrified gaze, took her into the system space.

Meanwhile, Itachi Uchiha had arrived at Izumi Uchiha's residence.

He knew that Qianye was a formidable opponent.

For safety reasons, he deliberately left Uchiha Izumi for second to last.

Parents come first.

Carefully pushing open the door, I found that there were no hidden mechanisms in the room, and 'Uchiha Izumi' was sleeping peacefully on the bed again.

Itachi Uchiha couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Could it be that something has happened to Qianye?

He originally thought that the reason why Chiya did not come to the appointment was because she had discovered something and planned to leave Konoha with Uchiha Izumi.

Now that Uchiha Izumi is here, but Chiya hasn't come, there's only one explanation.

It's likely that Chiya discovered something and went to the higher-ups in Konoha.

He was either held up or killed by Danzo.

After all, Zhishui serves as a cautionary tale.

With this thought in mind, Itachi Uchiha had no doubts and swung his sword to kill Izumi Uchiha.

However, in the next instant, he suddenly felt an extremely unreal feeling.

He stepped forward, pinched the side of 'Uchiha Izumi' and examined it carefully before calming down and instantly leaving the room.

"Looks like I was overthinking it. What follows is a battle between kaleidoscopes."

Uchiha Itachi muttered to himself, quickening his pace as he hurried home.

"Your precious son is almost here. Is there anything left for him to do?" Chiya sensed the chakra of the filial son and, seeing that the system had not yet announced the reward, asked Fugaku in a seemingly casual manner.

Fugaku nodded and took out a scroll of ninjutsu from the Uchiha clan's collection from a secret compartment in the room, handing it to Chiya. "The illusions you created were able to deceive my perception, which means your genjutsu has surpassed the Mangekyou Sharingan. If Itachi were to attack you, I'm afraid you would not escape your fate."

"I hope you can spare Itachi for Mikoto's sake. I believe that after this, Itachi will never dare to lay a hand on you again."

"As payment, I can give you this."

As he spoke, Fugaku pulled a letter from his pocket, on which were clearly marked with the words "Letter of Divorce".

"What do you mean by that?" Qianye frowned.

"Do you remember what I said before, that you are the hope for the revival of the Uchiha clan?" Fugaku smiled bitterly and knelt down beside the illusion of Mikoto. "At first, I thought it was you who saved some of the clan members. Until just now, when I activated my Mangekyou Sharingan, I saw both you and Mikoto at the same time."

"What will you do in the future?"

"What will happen?" Qianye asked somewhat guiltily. Could it be that he had found out about her lust for his wife?

Fugaku Uchiha shook his head with a wry smile. "No, it's nothing. In short, from this moment on, Mikoto is no longer my wife. I hope you can treat her well, and at the same time, spare her eldest son. As for Sasuke, I'll trouble you to look after him when you have time."

After saying that, Fugaku Uchiha closed his eyes and quietly awaited death.

Hearing Fugaku's obvious words, Chiya could easily guess what he meant.

Moreover, he never intended to kill the filial son now.

To some extent, living with everything on one's shoulders, just like in the original story, would be the greatest punishment for Itachi.

"Okay, I promise you." Qianye nodded.

As soon as the words were spoken, a system notification sounded in my mind:

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 1kg of pure gold from the One Piece world. It has been automatically stored in the system warehouse.]

Chiya took out the pure gold and examined it. He immediately cut off a small piece and used lightning and fire nature transformation chakra to fuse it into a round ring. Holding it in his hand, he murmured to himself, "Izumi is only thirteen years old, and Hinata is even younger. I'll give this first pure gold ring to Kurenai."
