I rely on myself

Chapter 138 Purpose Achieved
Uchiha Itachi had just killed a member of the Uchiha clan when a loud shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Go to hell, Uchiha Itachi, you traitor, Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

As he spoke these words, a giant fireball emitting high temperature came towards him. Because it was too sudden, before Itachi Uchiha could dodge, the fireball swallowed his figure and then there was a violent explosion. The high temperature and the explosion destroyed everything around. It was impossible for a mere human body to survive such an attack.

"Did it?"

Seeing Uchiha Itachi's figure being completely engulfed by the huge fireball and no sign of escaping, the Uchiha ninja who launched the attack couldn't help but speak out.

Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. A figure suddenly appeared behind him. It was Uchiha Itachi. Looking at the tribe member with his back wide open, he stabbed his ninja sword into the opponent's vitals without hesitation.

Looking at the blade stabbing from his chest, the Uchiha ninja couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, he also realized that Uchiha Itachi not only dodged his attack, but also took the opportunity to come behind him and give him a fatal blow.

"Damn it, you damn traitor..."

Although he wanted to drag the other person to hell with him, his body, which was gradually losing strength, was unable to support his actions. In the end, he could only die with hatred for the traitor and worry about his family.

The ninja sword was drawn, and the body fell down without support. Although Uchiha Itachi's face was as calm as ever, there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

This was quite normal. After all, ever since he was discovered, all members of the Uchiha clan had become alert, making it impossible for him to easily eliminate his clan members through assassination. He had to continue his plan to exterminate the clan through direct combat.

Although the strength of each clan member is not stronger than himself, but little by little it adds up and each clan member has to put in more effort, which also greatly increases Uchiha Itachi's consumption.

At the same time, looking at the Uchiha base around him that was caught in the flames of war, and the sounds of sword clashing and various roars coming from everywhere, Uchiha Itachi understood that this genocide had become a big deal and could no longer be covered up, so the best way now was to end this turmoil as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but feel that time was running out. When he wanted to get rid of the remaining tribesmen as soon as possible, several figures appeared in front of him.

Seeing the other party appear, even with Uchiha Itachi's mentality, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Elder Lie!"

The leader was Uchiha Rei, the elder of the Uchiha clan. After Lin Yuan left, he knew that this would be his burial place, but at the end of his life he wanted to see someone.

What kind of person is his descendant Uchiha Itachi, who can make such a cruel decision and slaughter his own people with his own hands?

And now after seeing it, Uchiha Rei realized what kind of person the junior in front of him was.

"I see. You matured too early. Before your own values ​​were fully mature, you were indoctrinated with a certain will. And you regarded it as the truth. How stupid."

When Uchiha Lie said this, his voice was very low, so Uchiha Itachi did not hear it clearly, but he still felt that this was the other party's evaluation of himself, so he couldn't help asking: "What do you mean, Elder Lie."

"Don't worry about it, kid. After all, nothing you say will change our current position, so let's just hurry up and fight."

As Uchiha Rei said this, he also got ready for fighting. The people accompanying him also got ready for fighting without saying a word.

The reason why he did not answer the other party's question was because Uchiha Itachi was a pure ninja. Since he had made up his mind, he would not be shaken by a few words from him. Even if the people standing in front of him were his family members, he would still take action, not to mention the elder of his own clan. So Uchiha Rei gave up the verbal confrontation and took action directly.

Although he was somewhat curious about the other party's words, as an excellent ninja, Uchiha Itachi knew that he had to end this turmoil as soon as possible, so he did not hesitate and attacked directly. The next moment, the two sides began a fierce confrontation.

While the two sides were fighting, the noise in the Uchiha clan's residence gradually subsided. Although each member of the Uchiha clan was very strong, they were no match for the Root members, and even then they had already lost the initiative.

"It seems that although there were some twists and turns, the Uchiha clan was finally wiped out. It doesn't matter to us, it's even better."

The person who said this was an unknown man in a one-eyed mask who accepted Itachi Uchiha's invitation to carry out the genocide operation together. His real identity was Obito Uchiha. At this time, he was secretly acting in the ninja world as the agent of Madara Uchiha's will.

To be honest, he didn't have any special feelings towards the Uchiha clan. After all, he was not Uchiha Madara and had not been betrayed by the Uchiha clan. However, considering that this genocide could weaken Konoha's strength, thereby making the plan of capturing the tailed beasts more successful in the future, he agreed to Uchiha Itachi's request to participate.

But now the plan has changed. Originally, the Uchiha clan was just going to be wiped out quietly, but now things have gotten out of hand and the Root is also involved.

Uchiha Obito had no choice but to stop and hide, observing the situation for the time being.

Because the barrier was destroyed, the genocide was exposed, but the roots did not stop the action, but joined the massacre.

Seeing the Uchiha clan and the Root, who both belonged to Konoha, killing each other, this was undoubtedly a more powerful situation for Uchiha Obito, so he did not intervene too much and just stayed here to watch the situation develop.

At this moment, a white, plant-like human figure suddenly emerged from the ground beside him. Seeing the other party's appearance, Uchiha Obito was not surprised at all, but just asked calmly.

"Jue, is there anything you want to report?"

"Obito..."

"Call me Madara!!"

Before the other party could finish speaking, Uchiha Obito suddenly interrupted. Hearing this, Zetsu was not angry, but accepted it with pleasure.

"Oh, yes, yes, Lord Madara, when I was investigating just now, I found traces of evacuation from a hidden place in the Uchiha base. It can be inferred that some Uchiha people have escaped. Although I continued to investigate, I did not find any trace of them because they were prepared. Do you need me to continue the investigation?"

"I see. No wonder there were unexpected changes in tonight's operation. It seems that someone in the Uchiha clan knew about this operation in advance and took action. The previous counterattacks were just to attract attention and cover the escape of the Uchiha clan members who evacuated in advance. What a good plan."

After getting the clue, Obito quickly thought about the Uchiha clan's plan, and then thought about whether these escaped Uchiha clan members would affect his plan. The final answer was...

"Forget it, there's no need for that. Those Uchiha clan members who escaped don't know that we were involved in this genocide, so they will only retaliate against Konoha. This is a good thing for us, so there's no need to continue tracking them down."

"Yes."

Looking at the quiet Uchiha station, Uchiha Obito just watched quietly, and after a long while he said: "Now that things are over, we should go to the meeting place and wait for the arrival of our new members."

After saying that, Uchiha Obito's body was sucked into his only exposed eye, and Zetsu also dived underground again, and the two of them left.
