I rely on myself

Chapter 139 The End of the Night of Genocide

Uchiha Rei watched another clan member fall at the hands of Uchiha Itachi, but he was powerless to do anything. Although he felt helpless, he also felt it was natural. The reason was very simple, that was the other party's eyes.

Different from the ordinary Sharingan with magatama surrounding the pupil, the complex pattern like a windmill is slowly rotating in the blood-red pupil. This unique appearance is the advanced form of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, the 'Mangled Sharingan'.

Seeing these eyes, Uchiha Rei realized that the younger generation in front of him had far surpassed their fellow tribesmen and reached a realm that they could not understand. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I see. No wonder you are confident that you can deal with the entire clan on your own. You do have the ability to do so after opening the Mangekyō Sharingan."

Uchiha Itachi's expression remained unchanged as usual in response to the elder's praise. He just walked calmly towards Uchiha Rei. His purpose was self-evident, which was to kill the elder in front of him like he had done with the other members of the tribe.

Uchiha Rei, who saw this scene, also realized this fact. Although he knew that he was overestimating his own abilities, he still wanted to continue resisting.

But Uchiha Rei, who was already old, had seen his strength decline severely. If he had not had the support of others, he would have been easily killed by the opponent. And now that he had no external help, the result was self-evident.

With just a feint, Uchiha Itachi easily fooled the opponent's movements and stabbed the opponent's heart with his kunai very easily.

Feeling his body gradually losing strength, Uchiha Rei knew that he was about to die, but looking at the junior in front of him, he still wanted to say something. Unfortunately, Uchiha Itachi seemed to see through this and didn't want to listen to his words. He twisted the wrist holding the kunai, instantly crushing its heart and directly ending Uchiha Rei's life.

Uchiha Itachi loosened his arms and let the lifeless body of Uchiha Rei fall to the ground.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly broke into this place, led by the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and behind him were the members of the Anbu who were directly under the Hokage.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen rushed over as quickly as he could when he noticed the fighting in the Hokage Building, he was still a step too late. As soon as he entered the Uchiha base, he found fighting everywhere. Even when he shouted to both sides to stop, no one paid attention.

This is also normal. After all, the situations of the two warring parties are very special. One side is the members of the Root of Konoha, and they will only obey the orders of their only leader, Danzo Shimura.

On the other side were the Uchiha clan members who were filled with anger by the sudden massacre. Since few people knew about the Root, they mistook it for the Anbu of Konoha. Naturally, they would think that this massacre was an order given by the Hokage, and of course they would not pay attention to Sarutobi Hiruzen's orders, but would attack him instead.

Seeing this scene, Sarutobi Hiruzen realized very clearly that he was too late. From this moment on, no matter what the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village was before, it had completely broken off with Konoha.

Then, as the Hokage of Konoha Village, there is only one thing I can do now, and that is -

"Everyone, go ahead and kill the remaining Uchiha clan members. Don't leave any alive!"

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen give this order in an extremely firm tone, the Anbu members who followed him understood the determination of the Hokage. At the same time, they also realized that in the current situation, leaving the Uchiha clan behind would only cause chaos, so everyone understood what to do next.

"Yes!"xN
After responding, except for the Anbu who stayed beside the Hokage as a guard, the rest of the Anbu also joined in the massacre of the Uchiha clan. Back to the present, looking at Uchiha Itachi, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh.

As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt very sorry for Uchiha Itachi. If he was able to handle the relationship between the village and the Uchiha, he would not have forced the other party to slaughter his own people personally. He was very optimistic about Uchiha Itachi, the younger generation who perfectly inherited the will of fire.

After what happened now, Uchiha Itachi is destined to no longer be able to stay in the village, which is a great loss for Konoha today.

Although he lamented Uchiha Itachi's situation, Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the Hokage of Konoha, still stepped forward and asked: "Itachi, what do you want to do in this situation?"

Hearing the Hokage's question, Uchiha Itachi understood the other party's meaning, which was how the current situation would end, and Uchiha Itachi had already anticipated this.

"The Uchiha clan should have been completely wiped out by now. Although it has become a bigger fuss than originally planned, as long as all the blame is put on me, this matter should be stopped, so you don't have to worry about it, Hokage."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Are you going to take all the blame on your own? Is this really okay, Itachi?"

"It's nothing good or bad. This is all for the stability of Konoha. But I still want to ask you for a favor, Hokage."

Although Itachi didn't say what it was, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already guessed it, so he responded: "No problem, I will take good care of Sasuke, don't worry!"

After getting the assurance from Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Itachi no longer hesitated and ran towards his home, where someone was waiting for him.

After seeing Uchiha Itachi disappear, Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered the Anbu to temporarily leave the Uchiha clan's base, and the Root was no exception.

The subsequent development was just like the original work. Uchiha Itachi returned to his home to see his parents for the last time, and then after obtaining his parents' forgiveness and instructions, he killed his parents with his own hands.

At the same time, Sasuke, his younger brother, 'happened' to come over and saw his parents falling on his brother's sword and could not accept the fact.

After being tortured by Uchiha Itachi with illusion, Uchiha Sasuke fell into a coma with an astonishing hatred for Uchiha Itachi.

The situation was different afterwards. Konoha's Anbu immediately entered the scene. After all, the matter had been exposed this time, so the Anbu could only enter the Uchiha's base in advance. Uchiha Itachi also pretended to escape from Konoha because of the arrival of the Anbu and became a rebel ninja.

The night of genocide ended with this ending.

But later, the Third Hokage Hiruzen realized that although the Uchiha clan annihilation operation had ended, its subsequent impact was far from over.
