My name is Uchiha Touhuan, and I beat the villagers so badly they cried out in pain.

Chapter 100 The Death of Uchiha Itachi

Upon hearing Jiraiya's words, Itachi Uchiha froze on the spot.

Meanwhile, Fugaku Uchiha, who was watching the live stream with the Third Hokage, also had some selfish thoughts. Although Itachi Uchiha had committed an unforgivable mistake, he was still his son, and he wanted to try to save him, at least to prevent him from reaching a point of no return.

"Third Hokage, could you do me a small favor?" Fugaku Uchiha asked.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced up at Fugaku Uchiha, only to see Fugaku exchange a wink with Shikai Aburame, after which a communication worm buzzed and flew to Hiruzen Sarutobi's front.

"Please help me persuade that child; he listens to you the most," said Fugaku Uchiha.

"Eh." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and nodded, and the communication worm flew to his ear.

Upon receiving the order, the Aburame clan on the front lines also released their communication bugs. The gathered communication bugs then acted as a megaphone.

Soon, the voice of the Third Hokage echoed across the battlefield.

"Stop, Itachi."

"The Third Hokage?" Itachi Uchiha looked up, staring blankly at the communication tube made of communication bugs.

"Stop, Itachi, this is all over," Hiruzen Sarutobi said.

"Why? Third Hokage?" Itachi Uchiha roared in despair.

The only response he received was a heavy sigh from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After a long while, Itachi Uchiha lowered his hands, and the ninja sword in his hands fell to the ground.

At that moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Itachi Uchiha felt as if he were being pricked by needles.

Everything that happened tonight, except for the battlefield between Uchiha Touhuan and the masked man, has come to a close.

Kakashi, whose left eye was still bleeding, waved away the medical ninjas who came forward to treat him. After simply wrapping a few bandages around his head, he said, "Let's finish things here quickly, and then go support Dohwan."

Several members of the Uchiha clan's security team stepped forward and handcuffed the people Itachi had brought, including the fifteenth Hokage, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio. No one resisted throughout the process.

When it was Itachi's turn, Shisui, who had just fainted from exhausting his eye power, also struggled to his feet. After pushing away the person who was taking care of him, he stumbled to Itachi's side.

"Itachi, that masked man has nothing to do with you, right?" Shisui said weakly.

"I don't know him..." Itachi Uchiha stared blankly at Shisui for a while before finally speaking.

"Okay, I believe you." Uchiha Shisui patted Uchiha Itachi on the shoulder before turning around to look at everyone behind him.

"Everyone, Itachi was probably used in this matter." Uchiha Shisui, forcing himself to remain weak, bowed to everyone. "After everything has been investigated, please give him another chance, okay? This is my only request."

Everyone present looked at each other without saying a word. Only Kakashi gave Shisui a deep look before speaking up, reminding him, "Shisui, don't make things difficult for yourself. No one but Touhuan can make this decision."

"Kakashi-senpai, I will plead guilty to the clan head. Please, for the time being, do not imprison Itachi on charges of colluding with forces outside the village, okay? Please!"

At this moment, several middle-aged members of the Uchiha clan, who had practically watched Itachi grow up, also spoke up: "Itachi may be a bit foolish, but he shouldn't be capable of betraying the village."

"Yeah, we can't just believe whatever that guy pretending to be Madara says."

Seeing this, the others present also chose to give Uchiha face and remained silent.

Uchiha Itachi looked incredulously at the few clansmen who were speaking up for him under pressure.

"What are you looking at?" The middle-aged Jonin's expression changed, and he angrily rebuked Uchiha Itachi, "Whether you betrayed the village or not is another matter, but you definitely can't escape the charge of betraying your clan tonight! After this is all over, you must apologize to everyone at the clan's shrine!"

Although the man's tone was unfriendly, almost everyone present could hear the protective intent he was showing towards Itachi Uchiha.

"Hey, watch your words." At that moment, a member of the Inuzuka clan next to the man nudged the old Uchiha Jonin who was speaking with his shoulder.

"Itachi, let's go. After you've explained everything, slowly apologize to the clan. I'll go with you," said Uchiha Shisui.

"Haha..." Itachi Uchiha slowly lowered his head and suddenly burst into laughter.

Itachi Uchiha was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. The Will of Fire, which he had believed in all his life, was not on his side. The Third Hokage, whom he had always admired and trusted, abandoned him at the last moment. In the end, the only ones willing to stand up for him were his clansmen, whom he had previously despised in his heart.

At that moment, Itachi Uchiha felt like a huge joke.

"Itachi?" Shisui noticed that Itachi seemed a bit off and reached out to ask.

"Hahahahaha!" Uchiha Itachi suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly, mocking everything from his past.

Blood and tears welled up from Itachi Uchiha's eyes, and a huge surge of ocular power rippled out, forcing everyone around him to retreat.

"What is this?" Having had a similar experience before, Uchiha Shisui was forced back by the chaotic eye power and chakra fluctuations. He stared at this scene in disbelief. "Has he awakened his Sharingan?"

"Awakened? Wasn't this kid already at the three-tomoe Sharingan? Could it be... the Mangekyou Sharingan?" A Jonin from the Uchiha clan who stepped forward to support Shisui hurriedly asked.

Kakashi also became serious, ready for battle, and touched his left eye, which was wrapped in gauze. After the intense pain, his left eye had undergone some unexpected changes.

If any unforeseen circumstances arise, this is the only option we can try.

"Prepare for battle!" Everyone present became serious, having just witnessed the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Some people tried to rush over and interrupt the process, but at this moment, a special chakra storm mixed with a huge amount of ocular power erupted from the center of Uchiha Itachi, which blocked them all.

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha laughed wildly, the three tomoe in his eyes spinning rapidly, quickly transforming into the pattern of a three-bladed shuriken.

Everyone present was on high alert. However, after Itachi Uchiha completed his awakening, the terrifying chakra storm did not stop. Instead, it intensified along with Itachi's maniacal laughter.

"No, stop it! Itachi!" Shisui shouted desperately. Through the terrifying chakra storm, Shisui could clearly see that Itachi's hair was turning white little by little. At this moment, Itachi's life force was being drained away with the chakra storm!

Soon, the chakra storm subsided, and Uchiha Itachi, with his full head of white hair and withered face, collapsed to the ground.

"Heh...heh heh." Even after Itachi Uchiha collapsed, his laughter did not stop, but it was tinged with a sob.

"Itachi!" Shisui exclaimed as he rushed forward.

"Shisui..." Itachi Uchiha struggled to lift his head, the Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes slowly fading away. "I'm sorry."

At this moment, a medical ninja stepped forward, briefly checked Itachi Uchiha's condition, and shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha had lost all his life force and all his meridians were severed. Even Tsunade couldn't save him if she were here.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Why?" Shisui gritted her teeth and asked through tears.

At that moment, another disturbance was heard not far away.

"Second Young Master! You can't go that way! Stop immediately!"

Tonight, Uchiha Sasuke was unusually uneasy. First, his good friend, who had been staying at his house yesterday, was taken away by a strange white-haired man named Zhongdeng, and he didn't even come to school today.

Then, after school in the afternoon, my mother locked me at home, and the atmosphere within the clan was also very strange.

Furthermore, Sasuke Uchiha's unease intensified as night fell.

Finally, he couldn't resist sneaking out of the house. Although he was discovered by the security personnel maintaining order in the clan's territory not long after, Sasuke had already mastered the Lightning Step Body Flicker Technique he learned from Uchiha Touhuan. The few genin-level civilian team members didn't dare to go too far after recognizing Sasuke's identity, so they let Sasuke run over here.

"Sasuke?" The people on the battlefield turned around sharply after hearing the commotion and immediately saw Sasuke running towards them.

Upon seeing this, a Jonin from the Uchiha clan quickly seized the boy.

"What are you doing here, brat!" The Uchiha clan Jonin turned to the approaching security personnel and yelled, "Hurry up and take the Second Young Master back!"

However, at that moment, Sasuke Uchiha saw the person in the center through the gaps in the crowd. Although Itachi Uchiha's appearance had changed drastically, Sasuke still easily recognized his brother.

"Brother?" Uchiha Sasuke stared at the scene in disbelief.

"Sasuke?" Itachi Uchiha also heard the commotion and looked up at Shisui. "Is Sasuke here?"

Shisui glanced at Sasuke with tears in his eyes before nodding to Itachi Uchiha.

"Can we let him come over?" Itachi Uchiha said reluctantly.

Shisui nodded and gave a wink to the person holding Sasuke, who then released his grip.

"Brother?" Uchiha Sasuke ran quickly towards the center of the crowd. Seeing his brother's appearance, tears welled up in Sasuke's eyes.

"Brother! What happened? Why is this happening?" Sasuke asked, his voice trembling with tears. He couldn't understand why his brother had turned out this way so soon after moving out.

"Sasuke, your brother did something wrong, and he deserves what he got." Itachi Uchiha looked at his beloved younger brother and said with all his might.

"Shisui." Itachi Uchiha turned to look at Shisui. "Could you please leave my eyes for Sasuke?"

"Okay." Uchiha Shisui nodded.

"I don't want my brother's eyes! I just want my brother!" Sasuke cried out.

"Don't cry, Sasuke. What you told me before was all right. You have a good teacher. You should listen to your teacher from now on and not end up like me." Itachi Uchiha raised two fingers and pointed them at Sasuke's forehead.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke, this is the last time." After saying this, Itachi gently touched Sasuke's forehead and then his hand fell limply to his side.

"elder brother!"

Sasuke's heart-wrenching cries echoed above the Uchiha clan's territory.

A flash of red light passed through Sasuke's eyes, and when he came to his senses, the two tomoe were already quietly and slowly rotating in his eyes.
