I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

The strongest illusion technique, Kotoamatsukami.

Uchiha Shisui's Body Flicker.

Several renowned crowned figures reappeared simultaneously when the dark green Susanoo manifested between heaven and earth.

However, despite Itachi's challenge to a duel, he did not respond immediately, even though he was holding a kunai and on the opposing side.

Two or three breaths felt like an eternity to him. He looked at his old acquaintance on the opposing side and finally discarded his ninja tools, choosing not to continue the fight.

Konoha is running out of time.

With the surprise attack failing, this man, known in the ninja world as Shisui of the Body Flicker, was definitely not someone he could easily capture.

And Uchiha Ara, who possesses a sword capable of breaking seals, goes without saying!

Threats have proven ineffective, so it seems there is only one way left to save Konoha.

"sorry,"

"I'm sorry, Shisui."

He suddenly knelt down on the lake surface.

The heavy knees splashed water.

"I am willing to bear all the sins and accept all the punishments, but please save Konoha and the residents living in this village."

"They are all innocent, and they are all happy families!"

"Konoha cannot lose like this, otherwise the entire Land of Fire will become a land of conflict, more innocent residents will be displaced, and more soldiers will die because they are caught up in the war."

"Please, please,"

"You must not want to see your homeland destroyed, or to see countless innocent residents die as a result, right?"

The weasel's voice seemed to come from the depths of its heart.

Every word and every sentence was sincere and earnest.

All their wishes were to plead for an end to the impending destruction of Konoha.

This reaction surprised Uchiha Shisui, who was already prepared for battle, but it seemed reasonable in the overall situation.

Standing in Susanoo, he looked at his old acquaintance who had suddenly knelt before him, and complex emotions welled up in his eyes.

The reasoning behind this is so clear that it doesn't need Weasel to explain it; Weasel himself understands it perfectly.

After all, he had given everything he could, along with his people and fellow villagers, to protect the integrity of this land!

If Konoha is destroyed, it will inevitably become the direct trigger that plunges the entire Land of Fire into an abyss of destruction!

But he has already protected Konoha once.

He didn't hesitate to reveal that he used the Mangekyou Sharingan to change the will of the pro-war faction within his clan.

But the final result was that it plunged his own family into a dead end.

"I think I've already told you, my name is Uchiha Shisui."

He spoke, not answering directly but reiterating his name.

When Itachi heard this response, it had a premonition in its mind. However, it still lowered its head very low, so low that it pressed its head against the lake surface!

It seems they hope to gain the other party's sympathy, or even their concessions or promises, through their attitude!

However, his attitude ultimately failed to elicit any positive feedback.

"I have already protected Konoha once,"

"The once tranquil water is now dead."

"This time, my life belongs to the Uchiha."

"What happens to Konoha or the Land of Fire is none of my business."

"However, anyone or any force that stands in the way of Ara, the Uchiha, or the Demon Village is my enemy, Uchiha Shisui's enemy!!"

Zhi Shui's voice was firm and gradually rose in pitch, and a blazing light suddenly surged in his dim eyes, which were filled with complex emotions.

It's like someone who has been living in a daze for years suddenly finding meaning in their life.

"If you really want to do something,"

"Then you shouldn't be begging me."

"Instead,"

"Seeking barrenness."

At the same time, whether out of sympathy for old acquaintances, compassion for ordinary residents of Konoha, or a surge of revenge within him, he added at the end.

Such a supplement is undoubtedly the only solution to the current situation.

But it is undoubtedly the answer that Itachi Uchiha least wanted to address.

If he really wanted to go down this path, then he had already made a compromise at the very beginning of the confrontation.

Ultimately, the Uchiha clan inherits an indescribable and indelible arrogance.

Asking him to bow down to that guy, apologize, or even beg for mercy would mean overturning everything he had done before.

He carried everything on his shoulders.

He didn't hesitate to cooperate with Shimura Danzo, who stole his best friend's eyes; he didn't hesitate to drive his father and mother to their deaths; he didn't hesitate to betray his entire family!

In the end, did I realize that what I wanted to gain was that I was wrong?

Its special eyes shouldn't only see this much!

The Uchiha crisis has been averted.

With no risk of internal strife, Konoha is thriving.

The rising Akatsuki organization was under its own surveillance.

Despite being consumed by hatred, Sasuke ultimately thrived, eventually killing himself to obtain his own eyes, achieving the ever-burning Mangekyou Sharingan, and becoming a hero of the Uchiha clan and Konoha!

That's how he envisioned the future back then!

why?

Why, after bearing all the burdens, is this still the ending?!

Itachi wanted to roar, to shout, to use his special eyes to burn away everything that troubled him and put him in a difficult situation.

but,

At this moment, those eyes are no longer special.

Uchiha Shisui, who distanced himself from himself, had...

Uchiha Ara, who is clearly on the opposite side of himself, also possesses this.

What kind of scene did they see?

During this time, Ara did not get involved in Itachi and Shisui's conversation.

Because time has no meaning for us now, every second is a peaceful wait.

Just like the executioners that night, they sat back and waited for the Uchiha clan to be wiped out in order to fulfill their own desires.

"You don't have time."

Looking at his old acquaintance, whose body was trembling slightly and whose head was pressed tightly against the lake surface, Uchiha Shisui spoke again.

His voice was calm and indifferent.

Since his recovery, he has been reflecting on the harm his past actions had caused to his people.

If I hadn't blindly trusted the Third Hokage's faction, or if I had used Kotoamatsukami to control Shimura Danzo, who was most adept at stirring up trouble and unwilling to believe me, and thus fundamentally changed the attitude of Konoha's upper echelons towards the Uchiha clan, wouldn't things have been resolved more satisfactorily?

People all have a sense of attachment to their hometown.

Moreover, this land was originally conquered by the Uchiha and Senju clans!

What were the feelings of the proud tribesmen when they left their homeland with Huang?

The original owner was ousted from the house by the newer, more popular guests?

During those two days, the calm retelling from his clansmen made Uchiha Shisui increasingly unable to accept his past actions.

With his special eyes, he almost sided with Konoha. If it weren't for Ara's appearance and reminder, he would have changed his final intention to entrust the task to her.

So now,

It's likely that this family no longer exists.

"Of course, you can also stay out of it,"

"Anyway, that guy is just doing the same thing as you."

These words completely shattered all of Itachi Uchiha's expectations of the former.

He thought that given the other party's kind nature, even if they harbored hostility, they would still say something in support of Konoha after his pleading.

But that one sentence, "the same thing," made his whole soul tremble.

Yes,

How is his past act of eliminating all his clansmen, including his father and mother, for Sasuke and Konoha any different from Pain's actions now?

After all, the other side could also say that they wanted to prevent small countries like the Land of Rain from becoming battlefields arbitrarily opened up by powerful nations, and to allow the Akatsuki members who were persecuted by Shimura Danzo to finally find peace!

Not qualified,

People like him,

As an executioner,

They have absolutely no right to judge the right or wrong of others!

But, I can't do it.

He ultimately couldn't bear to watch Konoha be destroyed, nor could he foresee the chaos and fear that would engulf the entire Land of Fire after losing Konoha's protection!

The water ripples spread out,

Uchiha Itachi, who was kneeling on the lake, did not get up. Instead, he moved his body with his knees to face the direction of Uchiha Ara's aura.
