The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

But in that very instant of eye contact, Itachi could sense a terrifying power of eye energy from Madara's pupils that he could not match at all. In that instant, Itachi felt as if he were a small wooden boat swaying in a storm, about to be capsized by the waves at any moment.

A difference in dimensions.

And there's Ban's unique domineering aura.

All of this allowed Itachi to confirm that this person was not someone else in disguise, but the real Uchiha Madara.

Previously, it was only a vague suspicion that the masked man, that is, Obito, was possibly Uchiha Madara, or even more likely someone closely related to Uchiha Madara, which was enough to make Itachi extremely vigilant. Not to mention that now that Uchiha Madara is alive and well in front of him, as the most steadfast defender of Konoha and as the ultimate brother-complex, Itachi had to figure out what Madara's intentions were.

This guy is too dangerous.

It's unbelievable that even the First Hokage couldn't truly kill Madara Uchiha back then, and now he's returning to the ninja world in his complete form.

Who can stop this?!

Putting aside the fact that Itachi is still unaware of Menma's strength, the results of the battle between the Allied Shinobi Forces and Hidden Light Village have not yet been fully reported. Even if they were to find out, Menma is not on Konoha's side; in fact, he is on the opposing side.

It's still possible that he belongs to the kind of evil person who bewitched his own brother.

No matter how you look at it, Itachi would never choose to believe Menma.

As for the former leader, Payne...

Itachi and the other two are not fools; in this situation, it is already the best answer.

"Hmph, your intention? It is to put a true end to the conflicts in this world!"

Madara Uchiha paused, turned to look at his outstanding descendant below, and said in a calm tone.

Madara Uchiha originally had some expectations for Itachi.

He awakened his Sharingan at a young age and possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan at the age of 12. He is also said to be a young man who is very good at self-reflection. Although his appearance is completely different from Itachi's, he does have a bit of Izuna's traits. In fact, Sasuke's face combined with Itachi's mind is almost a carbon copy of Izuna. Oh, of course, Itachi's twisted thinking cannot be counted. In this respect, Izuna still completely surpasses Itachi, only they are somewhat similar.

Unfortunately, judging from the information obtained from Black Zetsu and Obito...

This is a corrupt Uchiha whose will has been twisted. He only came to take a look out of interest. Now that it has further confirmed Itachi's stance and given Itachi's extremely poor physical condition, Madara has lost interest.

It's only because he's a descendant and because of some Izuna bias that Madara is willing to waste more time.

"pause?"

Itachi frowned, vaguely guessing the deeper meaning behind Madara's words, but he still didn't understand how this had anything to do with the Tailed Beasts. Was it still the same plan as the original leader?

No matter how Itachi looked at it, he couldn't believe it would be like that.

That's Madara Uchiha!

"Alright, you'll find out then."

Itachi wanted to ask when.

Madara waved his hand to stop Itachi from speaking and strode away. He had little interest in these descendants, especially those whose strength was no match for his own.

The only one who is even remotely related to the weasel.

Madara also felt that the Uchiha clan lacked any magnanimity whatsoever.

That means there's no point in arguing.

Only Uzumaki Menma, that little guy hailed as the Shura of the modern ninja world, could truly pique Madara's interest.

'Hmph, you whirlpool-faced idiot, I hope you can please this old man and give me my full satisfaction!'

As Madara Uchiha mentally prepared for his upcoming battle with Menma, he gradually moved away, disappearing completely into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Madara is already eager to fight Menma.

To fulfill his long-cherished wish.

He can prove right away that the path he has taken is the right one.

Madara Uchiha departs.

Obito, Itachi, Sasori, and Kisame remained where they were.

With the main character gone, it's natural for attention to shift to Obito, the guy who once impersonated Madara.

This was the first time Sasori had met Obito.

Kisame and Itachi are not.

Especially the latter. The Uchiha massacre eight years ago was a result of the two working together. Otherwise, even with the supervision of Root and Anbu members outside, how could Itachi, who had just awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, have silently slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan?

That's no small ninja clan.

Instead, after the Senju and Uzumaki clans were destroyed one after another, the Hyuga clan was recognized as the largest ninja clan in the ninja world. Not to mention the number of ordinary clan members, the number of ninjas alone was several hundred, and the number of Jonin was as many as forty or fifty. These were all absolute elite Jonin who had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan. Only such a force could make Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura feel troubled and wary.

If the Uchiha clan were truly a small, insignificant group, with no more than a hundred ninjas, a dozen or so, or even just a handful of Jonin, then Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura would have been out of their minds to be wary of the Uchiha clan.

Not to mention that since the Uchiha clan was caught in the trap of the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's schemes, they have been responsible for most of the overt defense and patrol duties of the entire Hidden Leaf Village, which requires a huge number of ninjas.

Such a force.

It's definitely not something Itachi Uchiha could have cleaned up by himself.

Obito was Itachi's best assistant. It was also in that year that Itachi decided to openly betray Konoha and infiltrate the Akatsuki organization in order to find out the true identity of the masked man. Itachi had made countless guesses, but he really did not expect that it would be Obito Uchiha, a person who was once hailed as a hero of Konoha.

Most importantly, Obito was a direct subordinate of the Fourth Hokage.

In the world of ninjas, it is a relationship second only to master and apprentice. You should know that not just anyone can call Minato "teacher".

That's the kind of relationship we're talking about.

Obito remained undeterred and launched the Nine-Tails' rampage.

This directly led to the deaths of the Fourth Hokage and his wife.

"You should have heard the orders clearly. The organization will remain the same as before. Just carry out the original plan. The organization will also satisfy your desires. I hope you can understand your position. Stay here for the next few days. We will probably take action in two or three days."

Although his identity was exposed, Obito still showed no intention of removing his mask. More importantly, Obito could not reveal his side's intentions. Unlike in the original story, where the Akatsuki already possessed all seven tailed beasts and the Rinnegan was in Obito's own hands, he was almost 100% certain that his plan would succeed. So, at the Five Kage Summit, Obito recklessly revealed his Eye of the Moon plan.

Now, facing Itachi, a traitor, and Sasori, a member whose attitude was initially ambiguous, how could Obito possibly reveal his side's intentions?

Don't forget, there is still a true enemy, Menma, in the ninja world right now.

Even though Obito himself ultimately acknowledged the ultimate dream world in the Eye of the Moon plan, he could still understand the fear and resistance that mortals felt towards such a plan. They still needed the power of Itachi and the others, and their true intention was naturally to keep it a secret.

"Obito, what exactly is your goal?"

Seeing Obito about to leave after saying those words, Itachi's expression hardened. He stepped forward, his scarlet Sharingan radiating an extremely chilling aura as he stared directly at Obito and said in a deep voice.

"When the time comes, you will know. Of course, you can also refuse to carry out the mission. It's all up to you, and the same goes for the two of you."

Obito paused, turned his head, and looked back at Itachi with his Sharingan, uttering these words in a detached tone.

"Buzz!"

A peculiar spatial vortex appeared all around.

next second.

Obito's figure disappeared into it.

Watching Obito leave.

Itachi's expression also darkened.

Tailed Beast Capture.

This was an extremely dangerous thing to begin with. It wasn't about capturing the Tailed Beasts themselves, but rather about the fact that after all the Tailed Beasts were collected, Itachi in the original story was so obedient to the Akatsuki's arrangements to capture one Tailed Beast after another because he felt that Pain could never create any super weapons.

The sealing and use of the tailed beasts.

However, the five great nations have spent decades researching and accumulating knowledge to gradually master it. What merit do the Akatsuki and Amegakure have?

Ultimately, the Rinnegan has never truly proven how special or powerful it is.

Itachi's way of thinking wasn't unique to him; it was the same view held by all the major powers in the original work. Wasn't Onoki's words at the Five Kage Summit the best proof of that?

If Obito hadn't been so overconfident as to foolishly reveal his side's intentions and declare war on the Five Great Nations, given the nature of the Five Great Nations, especially Onoki and the Fourth Raikage A, what would have happened? A Shinobi Alliance!

It would take a hundred years to build it up.

The five major powers appear wary of each other.

Aside from Gaara, that silly kid who's already won over by Naruto and will definitely lead Sunagakure to stand firmly on Konoha's side, the other three ninja villages would be considered to have a great conscience if they didn't stab each other in the back.

Judging from the horrific deeds of the three previous Shinobi World Wars, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and even Kirigakure under Mei Terumi's leadership would all be capable of such actions. The interests of the ninja village come first; what about everything else?

Is it edible or drinkable?

Therefore, before Obito revealed Akatsuki's intentions, no one would be truly wary of Akatsuki.

This is also the biggest reason why Itachi, who was a staunch supporter of Konoha and a brother-complex in the original work, was still willing to capture tailed beasts for the Akatsuki organization.

In any case, as long as his own plan goes smoothly, Konoha can completely control the Akatsuki's actions, incite the hostility of the major powers towards the Akatsuki, and allow his younger brother to obtain the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, which is comparable to that of the ancestor of the ninja world. Then, he can return to the village as a hero. All enemies will be paper tigers, and everything will be perfect.

At least that's what Itachi himself thinks.

But things are different now.

Itachi could be less wary of Pain and do his best to suspect Obito, who was impersonating Madara.

But when the living, breathing freckles appeared in front of him...

Itachi's heart would tighten.

A person's name, a tree's shadow, the only ninja world demon who can rival the First Hokage. As a descendant of the Uchiha clan, Itachi knew very well how terrifying his ancestor was.

It's perfectly acceptable to speculate with the utmost malice.

"Itachi-san, what do you plan to do?"

Kisame Hoshigaki, standing to one side, carried his large sword and looked at Itachi with a strange expression, asking a question.

In the original work, Kisame ultimately sacrificed his life for Obito's (disguised as Madara) orders, and the information he provided was completely useless.

But that's based on the premise that Itachi is already dead.

Chapter 493 The Differences Between Different Worlds

In fact, purely in terms of the degree of admiration.

Itachi holds an extremely high place in Kisame's heart, which can be seen from the way Kisame addresses Itachi. Kisame is older than Itachi. The reason Kisame does this is because Kisame feels that he can find his own 'true essence' in Itachi.
