Konoha: You're letting me build up my bonds, but you're offending the entire ninja world.

"who are you"

"Pfft!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The cries of agony soon came from the guard unit, and Uchiha Itachi also made a move, leaping down the telephone pole like an eagle and rushing into the Uchiha clan's territory.

When he returned, some acquaintances greeted him with smiles, but instead he was met with a brutal blow.

Shimura Gengetsu smiled and took Uchiha Shisui into the air, gaining a better view.

It's just the art of light and heavy rocks; you can learn it with a little research.

At this moment, Uchiha Shisui looked at this scene in disbelief, his body trembling slightly.

Each scream signifies the loss of a member of the tribe.

Itachi Uchiha and that mysterious person are frantically slaughtering members of the Uchiha clan, regardless of gender or age.

Is this the solution that Itachi Uchiha came up with?

If all the Uchiha are killed, the rebellion will naturally not occur.

Do not!

It shouldn't be like this!

At this moment, Uchiha Shisui's eyes were bloodshot, even redder and blacker than his Sharingan.

“That’s right, this is the method that Itachi Uchiha came up with.” Gengetsu Shimura’s voice drifted over, “It is clearly a path to death, yet it is called life.”

"The lives of all Uchiha clan members will come to an end in the hands of these two."

"Oh right, there's one exception."

Shimura Gengetsu turned to look at Uchiha Shisui, "Uchiha Sasuke, this younger brother whom Uchiha Itachi loved the most will live, at the cost of the blood of all the clan members."

"This was the only condition he made to the village."

"Stop talking...stop talking..."

The seal on Uchiha Shisui's body had been partially broken at some point, and he was able to make sounds again.

He knelt on the stone and wailed loudly.

"Xuan Yue, please, please save some people! Those children, those women and children are innocent! They are just ordinary people, not even ninjas, why does Itachi still want to kill them!"

As his soul plummeted into the abyss, Uchiha Shisui nearly bit off his own tongue. Blood flowed down his mouth, mixing with blood and tears, making it difficult to distinguish.

If he could go back to the night he jumped off the cliff, Uchiha Shisui would not hesitate to use his final Kotoamatsukami on Itachi, and then take him with him as they fell off the cliff.

Forget it!

So what if they really rebel!

Even if the village wins, it will be hesitant to attack the harmless Uchiha civilians due to the opinions of other ninja clans!

"Alright, Shisui-senpai, you're already a dead man."

"Why be sad? Isn't your life ridiculous enough? You should have realized long ago that you were placing your hopes in the hands of a lunatic."

Uchiha Shisui had cried until he was silent, pleading in a hoarse voice, "Xuan Yue, please let me go save them, even if it's just the children and the elderly."

"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, waaaaah!"

To be able to bring a Kage-level powerhouse to the brink of collapse—no, to the point of complete disintegration—Uchiha Itachi was indeed terrifying in this respect.

He, Gengetsu Shimura, would call him the strongest.

"How can we save them?"

Shimura Gengetsu lowered the altitude of the flight, thoughtfully allowing Uchiha Shisui to hear the pleas for mercy and cries for help more clearly.

"Everything today was destined countless years ago, and it cannot be changed by my will alone."

"Hashirama Senju only cared about bringing people into Konoha and didn't care about the aftermath. The Uchiha clan betrayed Madara Uchiha and refused to leave with him. The Second Hokage was always on guard and set up a security department to isolate them. The Third Hokage carried on and made great progress. My old man has spent his whole life following in the footsteps of the Second Hokage."

"Everyone wants the Uchiha to die, everyone is a murderer, what can I do?"

Gengetsu Shimura's voice was soft, but every word was like a dagger, piercing Shisui's heart and causing him unbearable pain.

Uchiha Shisui kowtowed repeatedly, "Lord Xuan Yue, you must have a way. You foresaw that Uchiha Itachi would do such a thing, which is why you saved me and let me witness this scene, right?"

"I can agree to any condition you set, and I will carry out any order you give me."

It must be said that although both of them were mentally ill, Uchiha Shisui was closer to a normal person.

Now, he's a completely normal person, and his intelligence has regained its high ground. He quickly analyzed a lot of things.

"What if I let you kill Uchiha Itachi?"

"I want to tear him to pieces right now!"

"What if I want to become Hokage?"

That position should have been yours!

"What a smart person."

Gengetsu Shimura calmly raised his sword finger. "Don't reveal your identity. I only want children and the elderly, and they must be families unrelated to the rebellion."

"If someone finds out you're still alive... then I'll have no choice but to kill you and them all, and put all the blame on the Uchiha clan."

Rescuing some Uchiha was a decision that Shimura Gengetsu had made long ago. These people could usually help out, but they would also be useful in critical moments.

However, this is only a preliminary selection. If they harbor resentment, he will decisively send them away so that they can reunite with their other clansmen.

As the seal was triggered, Uchiha Shisui felt as if his heart had been gripped by an invisible hand, causing his body to convulse in pain and his face to turn deathly pale.

But Uchiha Shisui did not hesitate at all. The moment the seal was broken, he staggered out.

For every second he wastes, someone will die by Itachi Uchiha's sword.

Watching Uchiha Shisui disappear into the darkness, Shimura Gengetsu also began his own actions.

He made no attempt to disguise himself and swaggered in front of Itachi Uchiha.

At this moment, Itachi was slaughtering an elder's family. Because the elder had three tomoe, Itachi had crippled some of Itachi's abilities.

“Uchiha Itachi, my companion was worried that you wouldn’t be able to bring yourself to harm women and children, so he kindly helped you out.”

Itachi's hand paused for a moment, but then immediately became firm again.

"...Shimura Gengetsu! Uchiha Itachi! You will both die a horrible death!"

The elder had his heart pierced, and with his last strength, he uttered a venomous curse. Although he wasn't the one who did it, Shimura Gengetsu still received the bond reward he wanted.

Next, he followed Itachi Uchiha around like a shadow, watching him kill people and taking some Sharingan to give to Danzo.

However, some of these were personally handled by Gengetsu Shimura.

For example, the elder family that forced Izumi to return to the family last time, and several others who were recorded by the Root and spoke ill of him.

Meanwhile, with the help of Shimura Gengetsu's cover, Uchiha Shisui also rescued many women and children who met the requirements.

But Itachi Uchiha soon noticed something was wrong.

The number of people doesn't match.

He knew exactly how many clans there were in the Uchiha clan, how many people were in each clan, and what their strength and identity were during his years as a spy.

With his help, the higher-ups in Konoha also had a clear understanding of the situation.

Itachi Uchiha knew that some of the able-bodied men served in the Uchiha Guard, but the few who were mostly women and children were a different story.

His face turned ugly.

If there are any who slip through the net, how can he highlight Sasuke's uniqueness and get the Konoha higher-ups to protect him?

"Shimura Gengetsu, were they taken away by your men?"

"I don't know." Shimura Gengetsu shook his head. "There are so many talented and extraordinary people in Root, perhaps they are just experts at destroying evidence?"

Uchiha Itachi clenched his fists coldly, his movements becoming increasingly rapid. With each death, he would intentionally or unintentionally leave the body near Shimura Gengetsu to prove his loyalty.

Along the way, Shimura Gengetsu had made a lot of progress, collecting a considerable amount of Uchiha bloodstains of various levels, which he would save to start fusing later when he got back.

The moon in the sky shone even brighter, and the blood-red color became even more pronounced, creating an incredibly eerie scene when combined with the screams.

A large number of Root members on the outer perimeter of the Uchiha clan have set up a barrier, preventing any movement inside from getting out.

The villagers had no idea that on such an ordinary night, a momentous event was unfolding that would shake the entire ninja world.

The survivors of the Uchiha clan were fleeing frantically, instinctively rushing towards the clan leader's residence, hoping to get help from Fugaku Uchiha.

As he approached his home, Itachi Uchiha's heart began to waver, but only for a moment.

Things have progressed to this point, and there's absolutely no turning back.

Meanwhile, Obito Uchiha had also finished dealing with all the Uchiha clan members inside the security headquarters.

In terms of numbers, this place is certainly not as large as the tribe's territory, but in terms of combat strength, it is definitely the strongest in the garrison.

Most of the young and middle-aged elites joined the guard unit, and many of them, after being tempered, awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan.

This is also the source of the Uchiha clan's confidence in launching a rebellion. Each pair of three-tomoe Sharingan represents the combat power of a Jonin. If they can catch someone off guard, they have a chance to defeat a group of high-ranking members.

However, due to Obito's sudden attack and the inability to understand his abilities, they were unable to inflict any damage on Obito and were all killed.
