This Uchiha is really evil!

"Even from the perspective of the family's interests, the Uchiha clan will be completely reduced to war criminals and sinners for launching a rebellion, and will be forever nailed to the pillar of shame in history!"

"I can't allow this to happen..."

"Only by completely exterminating the entire Uchiha clan can we protect its glory..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

"Itachi, is this your final realization?"

"Yes."

"I didn't expect you to think so deeply. As I said, at such a young age, you already possess the thinking of a Hokage. And now, your vision, mind, and capacity may even surpass me, the Hokage..."

"However, once you make this decision, your own reputation..."

There was no emotion in Uchiha Itachi's eyes.

"that's not important."

"I am willing to live on bearing the most inhumane and universally condemned crime."

“Perhaps that is my mission…”

Sarutobi Hiruzen had nothing to say.

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En looked at each other.

"Itachi, you can consider the village and even the entire ninja world from the perspective of abandoning the narrow family concept. We are indeed very pleased and admire you very much..."

"But the final question is..."

"Can you really do this?"

"You're going to exterminate the entire Uchiha clan with your own strength?!"

"The power of the Uchiha clan should never be underestimated..."

Uchiha Itachi shook his head.

"No, the powerful one is only Uchiha Chiba."

"The Uchiha clan is nothing in my eyes."

"Even my father hasn't opened his Mangekyō Sharingan, let alone the other members of the clan..."

Mitomon Yan said in a deep voice: "But it's really difficult to deal with just one Uchiha Chiba. You should have heard that even Danzo..."

Uchiha Itachi nodded and said, "I know."

"However, I do have a candidate who can rival Uchiha Chiba."

"Oh? Who?"

"Uchiha...Madara."

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two suddenly changed color!

"Uchiha Madara?!"

"Hasn't he already..."

Uchiha Itachi said: "Maybe he is not the real Uchiha Madara, but the strength he possesses is unfathomable, and..."

"The Nine-Tails Rebellion was started by him. The Fourth Hokage and the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki all died at his hands!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked: "Is it that masked man?!"

"Yes, Lord Hokage..."

"During the Nine-Tailed Fox Rebellion, I once saw it from afar..."

Uchiha Itachi wanted to say something but stopped himself. He realized that the Hokage in front of him was lying.

But none of that matters anymore.

He told all about his conversation with "Uchiha Madara".

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two looked at each other.

"If it's him, he can indeed defeat Uchiha Chiba, even..."

"kill him!"

Uchiha Itachi was not so optimistic, but...

"There's no need to kill him, as long as he can compete with Uchiha Chiba..."

"The rest will be easy."

"The Uchiha clan is not as powerful as imagined."

"Without Uchiha Chiba, with my strength, combined with the Anbu under Hokage-sama, and the power of the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan, it will be easy to wipe out the Uchiha clan."

"Do not……"

"I am enough."

"Unless it is absolutely necessary, Lord Hokage, please do not take action, otherwise it will damage the reputation of the Konoha high-level officials..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and sighed.

"You've really thought of everything..."

"It's just that you're the only one suffering..."

A trace of sadness flashed in Uchiha Itachi's eyes.

"I am willing to bear this painful fate."

After saying this, he stood up from his kneeling position, as if he had made up his mind.

"Father... I mean, when the clan leader returns, he will definitely go to Nanga Shrine to summon the clan's senior elders to discuss matters. At that time, as long as 'Uchiha Madara' entangles Uchiha Chiba, I will deal with all the rest."

"However, I have one last condition."

"You say it."

"No matter what the final outcome is, I ask Hokage-sama for one thing..."

"Take good care of my brother, Uchiha Sasuke."

"Let him grow up well, live with a deep hatred for me, and become stronger step by step..."

"My best destination is to die at his hands in the future..."

"In this way, the honor of the Uchiha clan can be preserved, and Sasuke can survive in this ninja world as a hero."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart moved.

Is this his biggest weakness?

Uchiha...Sasuke.

"Don't worry, I will do my best to protect Sasuke."

Uchiha Itachi nodded.

He wanted to say something more, but finally closed his mouth, turned around and left the Hokage's office.

Looking at his back, Utane Koharu and Mitomon En couldn't help but have complicated expressions.

"What a scary guy..."

"He should be only about ten years old this year, right?"

"To think there is such a deep and cunning mind, and such a cruel and ruthless mind..."

Mitomon En also sighed: "Compared to him, Shisui is just a blank slate..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sneered.

"This is the best. I don't need to brainwash him too much. He has already made the best decision on his own."

"Indeed, Uchiha Shisui is nothing compared to him."

"Uchiha Itachi...he is the best dog!"

Utane Koharu nodded and said, "But, Hiruzen, do you really think Uchiha Itachi can wipe out the entire Uchiha clan?"

"His strength..."

"No problem. The power of the Mangekyō Sharingan is simply not comparable to that of an ordinary Sharingan, and..."

"Uchiha Itachi has the deepest bond of love and hate, and his eye power is also unimaginable."

"Fugaku had previously sent three jonin, Yashiro, Inahime, and Tetsuka, to keep an eye on Uchiha Itachi. As a result, the three were instantly killed by his eye power, and he even used illusion to erase their memories."

"Humph, you have to know that those three people are already the absolute elites of the Uchiha clan, yet they were still killed in seconds, not to mention other ninjas, or even... ordinary people!"

"As for Fugaku, as long as he doesn't open his Mangekyō Sharingan, his fate will be the same!"

Mitomon Yan said: "Another most critical question..."

"Can that so-called Uchiha Madara really kill Uchiha Chiba?"

Utatane Koharu also said, "Huruzen, if he really started the Nine-Tails Rebellion, then he is also the murderer of Lake Biwa..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said coldly: "Humph, they are just using each other. Even if he has ulterior motives, at least he stands on the same side as us on this matter..."

"that's enough."

"So, what about Jiraiya?"

"He might not be able to accept that we are cooperating with the murderer who killed Minato..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a moment.

"He just needs to know what he needs to know."

"Besides, I didn't expect him to be involved in the Uchiha clan extermination in the first place."

"What if, I mean what if, the masked man and Uchiha Itachi are unable to compete with Uchiha Chiba, Jiraiya will be our last trump card..."

"Of course, the Anbu, the Sarutobi clan, and the Shimura clan can't just sit there and watch. When the time comes, you and I will all be on standby at all times!"

"Well, we get it, Hiruzen."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes.
