Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

Before the question could be fully uttered, Itachi had already passed them by. The two Uchiha ninjas collapsed to the ground in disbelief, each with a bloody gash on their neck, blood slowly seeping out, before falling limply to the ground.

After doing all this, Itachi Uchiha continued walking into the clan compound with a blank expression, while ripples appeared in the space behind him.

Obito glanced at the three corpses of Uchiha ninjas at his feet, let out a series of cold laughs, bent down and removed their Sharingan eyes, soaking them in the nutrient solution he had prepared beforehand.

After doing all this, Obito continued to follow Itachi's footsteps.

The killing begins!

"Itachi..."

With a short blade piercing his body, Itachi Uchiha ended his life before giving his opponent a chance to utter a second word.

Fugaku's son, the most outstanding genius of the Uchiha clan, and the one on whom the Uchiha clan placed their hopes, Itachi Uchiha, transformed his identity into the sharpest blade in tonight's massacre.

Obito, on the other hand, had it even easier.

Possessing Kamui, he could easily traverse all obstacles. This Uchiha clansman, who liked to help the elderly cross the road, silently entered the homes of his clansmen. Countless Uchiha clansmen were killed, their eyes gouged out, and sucked into the Kamui dimension while they were still asleep.

To facilitate his mowing-down-like slaughter, Obito even took out the chain blade, the same weapon he had used against Minato Namikaze...

The massacre is unfolding.

The end of this most powerful ninja clan in all of Konoha, and even the entire ninja world, quietly descended upon him at the height of his power...

Under the blood-red moonlight, two figures moved like grim reapers, leaving a trail of death in their wake. It wasn't until the thick smell of blood filled the air that the Uchiha's higher-ups realized something was wrong.

When Uchiha Setsuna arrived with the remaining ninjas, Itachi's blade was already slashing at women and children.

"boom!"

When the blade was blocked, Uchiha instantly saw the face of the person who attacked him, as well as the three-tomoe Sharingan in the eye socket. His old face was filled with an incredulous and shocked expression.

"Itachi! What are you doing?! How could it be you?!"

"What? It's Itachi!"

"How could this be?!"

"..."

Uchiha Itachi didn't speak. The moment his short blade was blocked, he leaped backward, his hands rapidly forming hand seals.

Uchiha Setsuna's Sharingan activated, and their hands almost mirrored each other in mid-air, simultaneously spewing out blazing fireballs from their mouths.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"

"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"

The raging fire dragons collided in mid-air, the intense flames illuminating the sky and waking up the remaining members of the Uchiha clan.

The fire dragons collided and both were destroyed. The fact that the young Uchiha Itachi could rival him in ninjutsu shocked Uchiha Setsuna. But this was not the time to admire the young clan leader's genius. He had to find out what had happened and why Itachi had suddenly taken these actions, even slaughtering his clansmen!

In the instant the flames exploded, Uchiha's seemingly aged figure transformed into a black shadow, his hands instantly forming hand seals.

Fire Release: Dust Concealment!

He spat out large plumes of hot dust, which whistled and swept towards the weasel.

The thick smoke and dust obscured all vision; even the Sharingan with three tomoe couldn't penetrate this ninjutsu.

In that instant, Uchiha activated the Setshinjutsu at full power, instantly appearing in front of Itachi. He unleashed an Uchiha-style sword technique with a kunai, aiming for Itachi's neck.

Uchiha Setsuna was an elder of the Uchiha clan, even older than Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura. He had personally witnessed and experienced the fighting techniques of those powerful figures from the Warring States period.

Although he is now old, his fighting skills have long since returned to their original simplicity.

But the moment Uchiha Setsuna's attack landed, Itachi disregarded his own safety, gripped the short blade in his hand, and stabbed it towards Setsuna's throat!

"what?!"

Uchiha Setsuna was terrified. He had originally intended to use this move to force Itachi to change his tactics and subdue him, but the other party was completely disregarding his own life and was going to attack him anyway.

and many more……

In the instant his hand crossed with the short blade, Uchiha Setsuna noticed the confusion in Itachi's eyes and the dense Yin Release chakra emanating from him, and instantly understood something.

puff!

Blood splattered, a severed arm flew off, and Uchiha Shatsu clutched his blood-soaked right arm, quickly retreating backward.

"Elder Shaka!"

"Lord Setsuna!"

"Damn it, Itachi, how could you do this? This is Elder Setsuna!"

The surrounding clansmen were furious and roared at Itachi, but Itachi seemed not to hear them, looking at them expressionlessly and assuming a fighting stance.

What arrogance! What rudeness!

Even if you are the son of the clan chief, you cannot commit such a rebellious and treacherous act!

The three Uchiha Jonin instantly assumed fighting stances, but Uchiha Setsuna growled, "Don't harm him! Something's wrong with Itachi; it's a genjutsu!"

"What!?"

The three were greatly alarmed.

The power of the three-tomoe Sharingan lies in its ability to allow an ordinary ninja to easily reach the level of a 'Jonin' in terms of combat strength. Among its outstanding and comprehensive abilities, genjutsu and resistance to genjutsu are the most remarkable powers of the Sharingan.

Itachi awakened his three-tomoe Sharingan very early on, and his ocular power was extremely strong. Controlling Itachi with genjutsu was something that ordinary people could not do.

Currently in Konoha, only Itachi's father, Fugaku Uchiha, who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and members of the Kurama clan who specialize in genjutsu and have awakened their bloodline limit can do it.

However, Fugaku was not in Konoha, and the only genius of the Kurama clan who had awakened his bloodline limit was only a few years old, which was not enough to control Itachi.

So who was the one who did it?

The group was shocked, but now was not the time to think about such things. As long as they could control Itachi, they could follow the clues and find the answer eventually!

The three Jonin of the Uchiha clan exchanged a glance and attacked simultaneously, while Uchiha Setsuna took out a signal flare from his pocket, preparing to ignite it.

After Fugaku came to power, the situation of the Uchiha clan changed drastically. The clan's elites had already taken up positions in various institutions in Konoha. With just a signal, they could come to the rescue and stabilize the situation.

But the instant the signal flare was ignited, Uchiha was shocked to find a ripple appearing in the sky. The signal flare didn't even have time to explode before it was swallowed up by the ripple.

Seeing this, Uchiha Setsuna immediately understood what had happened.

"It's you, you bastard who dares to impersonate Ancestor Ban!"

The words, almost uttered through gritted teeth, came from Uchiha Setsuna's mouth. The space in front of him distorted again, and Uchiha Obito emerged from it with a cold smile.

"Although your body is old, your sense of smell is still as sharp as ever, Uchiha Setsuna."

"You bastard, do you think you can destroy the Uchiha clan? When Clan Chief Fugaku returns, the Uchiha will still be the Uchiha!" Uchiha Setsuna roared, forming a hand seal and suddenly spitting out a ball of blazing flame.

But this attack was meaningless to Obito, who walked out of the flames as if he were strolling leisurely.

Uchiha Setsuna unleashed the full power of his eye, his eyes blazing with fury, as he unleashed a genjutsu at Obito. But in an instant, the fully activated genjutsu was deflected by Obito.

"Three tomoe want to shake the kaleidoscope?"

With a flick of his chain blade, Obito Uchiha easily severed Setsuna's head, gouging out the three-tomoe gems from his eye sockets.

"Out of control."

Chapter 251 Eye-Catching!

With Uchiha Setsuna's fall, the bloody slaughter was no longer hindered.

Although the three elite Uchiha were able to defeat Itachi, they were pitifully weak when facing Obito Uchiha.

The chain blade sliced ​​through the moonlight, and the three corpses fell limply to the ground. As Obito dug out the three pairs of Sharingan from their eye sockets, the two split up and began their plan to exterminate the Uchiha clan.

Outside the Uchiha compound.

There was a commotion in the dark woods. A member of the Uchiha clan's guards was getting restless, his eyes constantly darting back to the clan's territory.

The previous companion went to report half an hour ago. Under normal circumstances, Uchiha Setsuna should have arrived within minutes at most. Even if Setsuna didn't come, the companion should have brought back the order.

Half an hour passed, but not only did Uchiha Setsuna not appear, but his companion who went to report also disappeared without a trace.

"What on earth is this..."

"No, it's not good!"

A ninja wearing a dog-head mask quickly approached Danzo. Although he was wearing a mask, anyone could hear the panic in his voice.

"Lord Danzo, a strong aura of blood is emanating from the southern part of the Uchiha clan's territory. Because of your orders, we did not venture in to explore, but... but..."

"calm!"

Danzo's cane slammed heavily on the ground, his face stern yet dignified: "As a Root ninja, can't you even maintain the most basic ninja etiquette?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Danzo!" The Root ninja swallowed hard. Although he was a Root ninja, what had happened was so terrifying that he couldn't accept it for a moment.

The Uchiha Jonin standing nearby paid no attention to Danzo reprimanding his subordinates; what he cared about was what this Root ninja was saying.

There was an extremely strong smell of blood to the south of the clan's territory?

But how could that be? The southern area is a residential area, and just a little further on is a shrine. How could there be a strong smell of blood there?

As he considered the fact that he was waiting for his long-lost companions to return, and that Danzo's reason for coming here was to chase after the thieves, a somewhat absurd, even ridiculous, idea popped into his mind.

Uchiha...

problem occurs!

"Jonin Iron Flame, are you planning to continue blocking this old man here?" Danzo gripped his cane, his expression somber. "I don't know what's happening to the Uchiha right now, but since the thieves from before infiltrated the Uchiha clan, there must be some connection between them."

"The Uchiha are the Fifth Hokage's ninja clan, an indispensable part of Konoha. If something really happens..."

"Do not make jokes!"

Uchiha Tetsuyan took a deep breath, his three-tomoe sword fixed on Danzo, and growled, "The Uchiha can't possibly be in trouble! Stop spouting nonsense here!"

After saying that, Uchiha Tetsuyan took out a special signal flare from the hidden compartment of his vest and ignited it.

The unique fire-fan fireworks bloomed under the blood moon, causing the Uchiha elites in various important positions in Konoha to look up, frown, put down what they were doing, and rush towards the clan's territory.

"Click."

Once again, Obito snapped the neck of a three-tomoe Uchiha. He looked up at the bursting signal flare, calmly gouged out the opponent's eyes, glanced at Itachi outside who stood numbly among the corpses like a puppet, his hands covered in blood, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth under the vortex mask.

"Ready to experience despair, one against seven..."

The crimson Mangekyou Sharingan spun, and Obito Uchiha slowly activated his eye power. Itachi's body trembled suddenly, and the confusion in his eyes gradually dissipated.

"me……"

Uchiha Itachi looked at his blood-stained hands and trembled violently: "What have I done? I..."

The pungent smell of blood filled his nostrils at that moment, and the fatigue and numbness in his limbs made his body somewhat stiff. However, the memories that surged like a tide were like heavy punches, hitting his body and mind hard.

The incredulous looks from his companions, the pained and shocked gazes from his relatives and friends.

Warm blood kept flowing from the short blade in his hand, while his kind and gentle friends and relatives, who were usually so kind and gentle, were slowly turning into cold bodies.

Images flashed before Itachi's eyes, and his Sharingan swirled incessantly. But what filled him with despair was the figure standing before him.

She was a lovely young girl.

She wore a purple coat, had beautiful long black hair, a beauty mark under her right eye, and a delicate face that clearly indicated she was a beauty.

However, her face was contorted with pain and disbelief, her hands gripping the short blade embedded in her chest, the hilt still bearing the blood-stained marks left by Itachi…

"Quan, no, how could this happen, no!"

Uchiha Itachi collapsed to the ground, seemingly shocked by the scene before him. He then scrambled to Uchiha Izumi's side and tightly embraced the already cold body of the girl.

An unspeakable pain surged into his heart in that instant; he simply could not describe what he was feeling at that moment.

He...killed Izumi...

"No, this is not true, this is not true..."

Uchiha Itachi muttered painfully to himself, tears dripping from his blood-red eyes, the grief in his heart almost bursting forth.

He slumped to the ground, seemingly lost in thought, and began to weep, though no sound came out, but the tears just wouldn't stop.

What on earth did he do?!

He killed his own people, his relatives and friends, and even his childhood sweetheart...

For the first time, Itachi Uchiha felt excruciating pain. Even with his composure, his mind went blank, and he was unable to think of anything.
