Uchiha the Madman: He embodies truth and obliterates reality.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately flew into a rage, "Solve what?! The Uchiha clan is a vital fighting force for the village. Losing them is like cutting off an arm of Konoha! Don't you understand?!"

"This is the only way to maintain peace in the village," Danzo sneered. "It's better than the village falling into civil war."

“Hoo…” Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and said, “No matter what, the Uchiha clan were once members of the village. Danzo, I can no longer turn a blind eye to your arbitrary actions.”

"But Hiruzen..." Danzo was about to say something, but was forcefully interrupted by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"From this moment forward, you are relieved of your position as Hokage's assistant. Furthermore, your Root ANBU subordinates are being disbanded. I will soon formally decide your fate; until then, you are to be confined." With that, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, angrily departed.

Watching Hiruzen Sarutobi leave, Danzo said with a displeased expression, "That old bastard Hiruzen, all he does is talk a good game. In the end, I'm the one who has to clean up his mess."

It's alright. Although I lost the position of Hokage's assistant, I destroyed the Uchiha clan, a major threat to Konoha. Although the Root organization was officially disbanded, I can still command its Anbu in private, and I even obtained a batch of Sharingan.

Danzo turned around and revealed a smile.

You are the one who protects Konoha, Hiruzen, you don't understand anything at all.

"Lord Danzo, the number of Uchiha remains is incorrect," an Anbu member reported to Danzo as he ran over.

"What?!" Danzo suddenly stopped and looked at the Anbu.

The secret service officer said, "Several corpses have mysteriously disappeared."

"Hmm?" Danzo fell into thought.

The bodies of the Uchiha clan members have disappeared. Danzo knew Itachi Uchiha, who participated in the massacre, and given his loyalty to the village, it was impossible for him to take away the bodies of his comrades. So... who could it be?

It seems it was done by one of Itachi's accomplices in the massacre of the Uchiha clan. Yes. The Uchiha clan was powerful; Itachi alone couldn't have wiped them out. The only explanation is that he hired an outsider. Who was he? Itachi normally never interacted with people outside the village.

Danzo had a bold guess in his mind: could that person be...?

Even Danzo, who was usually calm and collected, couldn't help but feel a chill at the thought of that name.

Is that man still alive?

Danzo already had doubts about Itachi Uchiha's ability to single-handedly wipe out the Uchiha clan, and the disappearance of the Uchiha's corpses further confirmed Danzo's view.

"Hmph... cowardly cowards, I'll wipe you out sooner or later." Danzo said it lightly, but that's not what he really thought.

If that man is indeed still alive, then his plan to transplant the Sharingan needs to be expedited. Orochimaru's experiments were already perfect; there shouldn't be any problems. With the Sharingan transplanted and combined with the First Hokage's power, he will be invincible.

Even if his opponent were Uchiha Madara, he would still have a fighting chance. What's more, he also had Shisui's eyes as a trump card.

Thinking of this, Danzo couldn't help but smile.

"Danzo..." A member of the Anbu next to Danzo suddenly called out his name.

Danzo's gaze fell upon the ANBU member. "Hmm!?"

The ANBU member who was questioned waited silently.

Danzo gasped when he saw the eyes through the holes in the mask.

Those eyes were unmistakably crimson Sharingan eyes!

"It's you! Itachi Uchiha." Danzo immediately recognized the ANBU member in front of him.

“I’ve been watching, and I will continue to watch.”

Itachi stared at Danzo with his Sharingan and said to him, "If you dare to lay a hand on Sasuke, I will leak all the village's secret information to the enemy country."

"Are you threatening me, Itachi?" Danzo frowned.

"Don't dare."

Itachi's gaze was unfriendly. "I just wanted to remind you of this, Lord Danzo."

"You bastard, Itachi!" Danzo cursed inwardly.

"Remember this," Itachi said, before transforming into countless crows and scattering away.

"asshole!"

Danzo stared venomously in the direction the crow had flown and said, "Follow him."

Before he finished speaking, two figures beside Danzo followed.

"I want to thank You, Itachi. You protected the peace of Konoha, thus preventing a civil war." Inside the Hokage Building, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, turned his back to Itachi Uchiha and expressed his gratitude.

"However, even now, I still regret that I haven't found a better solution to the Uchiha issue."

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed deeply.

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama," Itachi Uchiha said, bowing his head as he knelt before Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Don't do that, I'm the one who should apologize." Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and continued, "From now on, Konoha will regard you as a traitorous ninja who murdered his clan, and will put you on the wanted list for capture, regardless of life or death."

“Of course,” Itachi Uchiha replied, head bowed.

"I will take good care of your brother from now on."

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned to Itachi and asked, "What do you plan to do next?"

“I’ve asked someone claiming to be from the Akatsuki for help. I will join the Akatsuki under this person’s guidance to prevent them from breaking their oath and harming Konoha,” Itachi replied, looking up.

Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed, "No matter where you are, you always have the village in your heart."

"Well then... take care." Hiruzen Sarutobi said to Itachi as a final word.

"Yes."

After a brief conversation, Itachi left the Hokage Building and headed towards Mount Wangfeng.

Chapter 6 Verifying the Truth

As soon as Obito returned to the Akatsuki base, he ran into Zetsu, who was both black and white.

"Ah Fei, how did things go?"

Black Zetsu, one of the few who knew Obito's whereabouts, had been waiting for news of Obito, as it concerned their subsequent plans.

"It must not have gone smoothly, A-Fei," Bai Jue said with a smile.

"Say less," Black Jue absolutely reprimanded White Jue. "Absolutely..."

“Everything was going smoothly, but some unexpected things happened,” Obito said after a pause.

"Variables?" Black Zetsu asked in a hoarse voice.

"Ah..." Obito nodded, and then he told Black Zetsu everything.

...

"What? You're saying that Uchiha has the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Black Zetsu was greatly surprised upon hearing this.

“That’s right.” Obito nodded and said, “Not only that, this person’s Mangekyou Sharingan seems to have awakened an extraordinary ability.”

"What is it?" Black Zetsu asked hastily.

“Called Truth, it obliterates reality.” Obito said solemnly, “I remember him saying that, and in the vision he showed me, a meteorite would fall into this world, bringing endless destruction.”

"Meteorite!?" Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu was even more surprised.

Obito added, "Yes, but we haven't verified whether the meteorite will actually fall."

"So, I hope you can help me verify this, please." Obito looked at Black Zetsu with a serious expression. He knew that Black Zetsu, as the incarnation of Uchiha Madara, knew far more than he did.

As Bai Jue listened, he offered his opinion, "This is getting more and more troublesome."

"Shut up, you're too noisy!" Black Zetsu scolded White Zetsu harshly.

Then, Black Zetsu looked at Obito and said, "I understand. I will verify its authenticity immediately."

"Let's go!"

Black and White Zetsu vanished underground. Emerging from the building, Black Zetsu, using his unique abilities, finally noticed the twinkling starlight emanating from the highest heavens. It was a massive meteorite, hurtling towards Earth at an astonishing speed. Black Zetsu estimated that within two months, the meteorite would crash to Earth, bringing devastating destruction. Its power would be enough to annihilate the entire world.

The fact that such a feat could only come from one Uchiha clan member greatly puzzled Black Zetsu.

Even in the vast history of ninjas, Black Zetsu had never seen such a figure. Not even Indra, Ashura, or their successors such as Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju could compare. Despite their terrifying abilities, they could not destroy the world.

In Black Zetsu's heart, only his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, could do all of this. Even though her children sealed away his mother, Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura, they still couldn't do it.

How could this Uchiha clan member do that? How could a mere descendant of Indra possess such terrifying power?

Soon... a terrifying thought popped into Black Zetsu's mind.

That means... Uchiha. He's not just any ordinary Uchiha; there's absolutely no way an ordinary Uchiha could achieve this. He might not even be a being from this world, just like his mother Kaguya—an outsider. That's the only explanation; otherwise, it just doesn't make sense.

If Obito hadn't said that person was already dead, Black Zetsu would never have known just how powerful this guy really was.

Could it be a pupil technique activated at the cost of sacrificing one's life? Black Zetsu thought: Although the price is so high, the power of this pupil technique is truly terrifying.

Okay, let's put aside all that for now and get back to the main topic.

"The meteorite crash is real." Black Zetsu's heart tightened.

It was foreseeable that the world would be destroyed once the meteorite struck. Black Zetsu, as the offspring of Kaguya Otsutsuki, was confident he wouldn't die easily. Obito, with his Kamui, should also survive, or at the very least, he could hide in the Kamui dimension. The tailed beasts, as aggregates of chakra, could revive, so that wasn't a concern. But what about the world?

Black Doji doesn't care about the lives of the people on this planet, but what it worries about is whether Obito, who has always been committed to the Eye of the Moon plan, will break free of control and betray Madara Uchiha if the world faces a crisis of destruction. Without the goal of creating a new world through Infinite Tsukuyomi, Obito would definitely become an unstable factor.
