I'm retrieving corpses in Konoha.

If it weren't for Uchiha Natsu, the massacre of the clan tonight would have been a success, and his brother and Shisui would have continued the Uchiha name in Konoha.

Uchiha Natsu's existence destroyed all of this!

"Stubborn to the end!" Uchiha Natsu raised his sword again, and with a soft thud, Uchiha Itachi's left forearm was severed.

Unable to stop the bleeding any longer, Itachi Uchiha had lost too much blood and was becoming delirious.

"laugh!"

With another sword strike, Itachi Uchiha's two arms were completely severed from his body.

Itachi Uchiha took a few steps back, but eventually lost his footing and sat down on the ground with a thud.

Uchiha Natsu's voice was cold and indifferent as he said:

"Your left hand was severed by me on behalf of Tetsuka's mother, Izumi's mother, and the entire Uchiha clan."

"It is precisely because of your narrow-mindedness that you are so vulnerable in front of me. Upholding filial piety is the foundation of magnanimity. Your parents gave you life, the right to exist, and everything else. Yet, for the sake of your so-called magnanimity, you are even capable of harming your own mother."

"Regardless of whether the purpose is noble or not, once you have the thought of killing your loved ones, you are no longer worthy of talking about magnanimity!"

Uchiha Natsu's words were like a heavy hammer blow to Uchiha Itachi's heart.

In his dying moments, he seemed to see his mother beckoning to him.

"Itachi, welcome back."

"If you need strength, then come and get it. Mom is willing."

My mother meticulously prepares dinner for me every day, and her busy figure in the kitchen seems to flash before my eyes like a revolving lantern.

In those few seconds, Itachi Uchiha seemed to be looking back on the past eight years, experiencing every moment he spent with his mother.

Yes, most importantly, are his parents, the parents who gave him everything.

His line of thinking was flawed from the very beginning.

He killed all his clansmen and his own parents, but he was able to save his younger brother and the last bloodline of the Uchiha clan.

Danzo kept telling him that the Uchiha only had two paths to take: either launch a coup and be destroyed by Konoha, or he wiped out his entire clan but could spare his younger brother.

But Uchiha Natsu enlightened him.

His parents gave him everything, so what difference would it make if he fought against the whole world for the sake of his father and mother?

Even if he is destined to die, he should die at the very beginning, so that at least in another world he can face his parents with peace of mind.

As the saying goes, a dying man's words are often kind, and at this moment, Itachi Uchiha had come to understand many things.

Uchiha Natsu did not want to let Uchiha Itachi go. Regardless of whether Uchiha Itachi had repented or not, the fact that he killed his mother was unforgivable.

Just then, a group of people suddenly rushed in.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and members of the Anbu.

Originally, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo had a fight. Hiruzen didn't want to fight the Uchiha clan, but Danzo advocated wiping them out beforehand.

Ultimately, the high-level meeting ended in discord, but Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that Danzo would definitely make moves in secret, acting first and informing later.

Hiruzen Sarutobi used his telescope technique to observe the situation in the Uchiha clan's territory. When members of the Anbu discovered the situation and came to report it, he suppressed it.

But to his surprise, Danzo failed to be dealt with.

The other family patriarchs had all discovered and provided support; it would be unreasonable for him, who had intelligence from the secret service, to pretend he hadn't noticed.

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only arrive at the scene with his Anbu at this inconvenient time.

Obito had just run away, and Itachi was still alive; it was truly a perfect moment, neither too early nor too late.

Upon seeing Itachi Uchiha's miserable state, Hiruzen Sarutobi, dressed in military uniform, frowned.

He then turned around, slung the Vajra Staff behind his back, and said in a deep voice, "Uchiha Itachi is a member of the Anbu, so let the Anbu handle him."

He didn't want Itachi Uchiha to die; there's probably still hope.

After all, Itachi Uchiha was the only member of the Uchiha clan who stood on the same side as him.

As for how to explain the successful resuscitation and reattachment of limbs, any excuse will suffice.

Uchiha Natsu remained expressionless, showing neither joy nor sorrow, and simply stared quietly behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi beckoned, preparing to have the Anbu come over and carry Itachi's body away.

"Pfft!"

But the next moment, he heard a voice behind him.

Suddenly turning his head, Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils contracted.

Uchiha Natsu's blade was seen lying horizontally to one side of his body.

Itachi Uchiha's head had already fallen to the ground, and his body had collapsed.

There's no way to save him now.

Itachi Uchiha has passed away.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's brow twitched violently, but he forced himself to remain calm and continued to beckon to the Anbu, saying, "Take Itachi's body away."

Uchiha Natsu interrupted, saying, "The corpses of the Uchiha clan are always returned to the clan for disposal; there is no need to hand them over to the Anbu."

“But Itachi Uchiha is a member of the Anbu, and he even attempted to kill his clansmen. The Anbu has a responsibility to give the Uchiha an explanation,” Hiruzen Sarutobi said, frowning.

“The Uchiha don’t need it. They can handle their own family matters.” With that, Uchiha Natsu squatted down and placed Uchiha Itachi’s body directly into the sealing scroll.

Upon seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression froze, but he couldn't find any other suitable reason.

The corpses of the Uchiha clan have always been disposed of by the Uchiha themselves, as has the case of the Hyuga clan.

Both of these families with ocular bloodline limits have had this privilege from the very beginning, in order to protect their own ocular techniques.

However, if the bodies are left outside, these two families will find their own way to deal with them and rarely bother the village.

Uchiha Natsu collected Uchiha Itachi's corpse, including his fingers, into the sealing scroll, and then stood up.

Honestly, I've been using Wildfruit Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and works on both Android and Apple devices.

Uchiha Natsumi knew perfectly well who was behind this massacre of his clan.

Hiruzen Sarutobi would never have planned this himself; Danzo was always the one at the forefront of such matters.

But if we're talking about the real culprits, both the silent and indulgent Third Hokage and Danzo, who instigated it, are inextricably linked.

The fact that the Third Hokage, who possessed intelligence on the Anbu, was the slowest to arrive at the scene speaks volumes.

Uchiha Natsu took a deep breath, not showing any anger, and appeared as normal as ever.

"Third Hokage, the culprit has been executed. We are grateful for your assistance and the efforts of the various clans," Uchiha Natsu said, bowing slightly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Natsumi Uchiha's face for a few seconds.

The fact that Uchiha Natsu's team was able to return safely was another unexpected thing for him.

Because he had already revealed the whereabouts and route of Uchiha Natsu and the other three to Danzo.

There are two Uchiha in the team, and given Danzo's personality, he would definitely sabotage things.

But Uchiha Natsu was still standing there unharmed. These two incidents made Hiruzen Sarutobi realize that he had overestimated Danzo's abilities.

With a sigh, Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice:

“I am also heartbroken that the Uchiha clan suffered such an accident. But even so, the previous incidents will not be forgotten, and the Uchiha clan will still be confined to the clan’s territory.”

After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and led the Anbu away from the Uchiha clan territory.

Uchiha Itachi was already dead, and a corpse was no longer of any use to him.

Uchiha Natsu was somewhat puzzled, unsure of what Hiruzen Sarutobi meant.

At that moment, the other three members of Uchiha Natsu's team, along with the priestess and her guard Inaha, also arrived at the scene.

They had just delivered the priestess to the Hokage Building when Uchiha Natsu's shadow clone was dispelled.

The Third Hokage also left the Hokage Building before they arrived.

At that time, Shisui asserted that something must have happened in the Uchiha clan's territory.

During the week-long journey, the shrine maiden and Uchiha Natsu and the others got along fairly well.

Initially, it was because of Uchiha Natsu's strength that he took the initiative to approach and talk to her.

But later, I got to know Uchiha Natsu quite well.

In fact, the group had already become friends, even if their relationship wasn't very close.

Therefore, when she heard that something had happened to Uchiha Natsu's family, the shrine maiden came to take a look, hoping to be of some help.

However, as things stand, the incident is over and the shrine maiden's help is no longer needed.

Although the heads of the various clans came to help the Uchiha, the masked man was clearly not from Konoha.

If the masked man finishes slaughtering the Uchiha clan, there's no guarantee he won't turn his attention to other clans.

Therefore, even if it's just a hypothesis, they were fighting to protect their families and Konoha.

In this battle, they were all in danger, and Uchiha Natsu saved them once again.

Including the last time, that's already two favors, at least that's what these family patriarchs think.

But no one would express this sentiment immediately; they all kept it in their hearts.

After the clan leaders offered a few words of comfort, they all left, and the incident in which Uchiha Itachi and the masked man attempted to exterminate their clans came to an end.

Fortunately, Izumi's mother did not die, but was seriously injured and needs to be treated and recuperated at Konoha Hospital.

Tiehuo's mother did not die; it was Tiehuo's mistake in the heat of the moment.

After all, in that environment, Tiehuo was already in a state of confusion, so it was understandable that he made a wrong judgment.

At that time, Hyuga Hiashi arrived shortly after Tetsuka left home, and thus promptly sent Tetsuka's mother to receive treatment.

However, although Tiehuo's mother did not die, she could no longer wake up.

Simply put, he became a vegetable.
