I defected before Genocide Night

Konoha.

Taking advantage of the break, Itachi Uchiha approached Kakashi.

"Kakashi-senpai, can we talk if you have time?"

Ever since he learned that the originator of the Nine-Tails Rebellion was Obito, the senior member of the clan, Itachi was in a tangled state.

He heard a lot of things from Taki, mainly about the Immortal Eyes and Obito's information.

Itachi had already reported the information about Sage Eyes to the Third Generation, but regarding Uchiha Obito, Itachi thought that he should ask Kakashi first.

Fortunately, he and Kakashi no longer have to monitor Uchiha, so they have free time.

Kakashi saw Itachi coming to him on his own initiative, and couldn't help but wonder: "Itachi, what's the matter with you?"

Not long ago, in order to mourn his best friend, Kakashi made a special trip to Nanga Shrine.

When passing through the Uchiha clan's territory, Kakashi discovered that most members of the Uchiha clan were extremely repulsive to other ninjas.

However, it seems that Uchiha Itachi, a fellow ANBU, is different from other Uchiha.

After considering his tone and words, Itachi said: "Kakashi-senpai, I am a little curious about Uchiha Obito. Can you... tell me his past."

Although he didn't understand Itachi's intention, Kakashi paused and recalled: "Obito, he is a real hero..."

He explained to Itachi in detail that Obito had given up his life to save himself, and by the way, he repeated Obito's famous saying:

"Those who don't follow the rules are trash, but those who don't cherish their companions are worse than trash."

Itachi was a little confused.

Why did Uchiha Obito, who could speak such words, release the Nine-Tails to harm Konoha?

"Maybe Taki deceived me."

But as soon as this thought emerged, Itachi shook his head.

There's no need at all. After all, what's the point of putting the blame on a dead man?

Thinking of this, Itachi looked at Kakashi and said, "When I was chasing Taki, I heard him say that Obito was still alive."

"This is absolutely impossible!" Kakashi excitedly rejected Itachi's words. In order to prove that he was right, he even revealed Obito's Sharingan:

"This eye was entrusted to me by Obito before he died. If Obito is still alive, why didn't he return to the village?"

Kakashi said earnestly: "Taki said something similar to me before he defected. His purpose must be to divide the village and Uchiha. Itachi, you can't be fooled."

Seeing that Kakashi was a little excited, Itachi said: "Although Taki is a rebel, what he said does have reference value."

After a pause, he informed Kakashi of his next steps in advance: "I will report this news to the Third Generation. After that, it depends on the Third Generation and his friends how to verify the accuracy of the news."

Itachi used the teleportation technique and left.

Looking at the empty room, Kakashi squatted down with some dejection and sighed melancholy: "Obito..."

On the other hand, when Sandai heard the news reported by Itachi, he took a deep puff of his pipe.

He was not very impressed with Obito, but why Kakashi fell into darkness was an issue that the Fourth Generation had mentioned before, so the Third Generation had some understanding of the past between Kakashi and Obito.

"Could this be a trap set by Taki?"

Since Itachi Uchiha did not bring it back to Taki himself, the third generation was skeptical about the information Itachi told.

What's more, Obito is the hero on the commemorative monument. Even if he is still alive, he should not harm the village he once loved.

So this news is most likely false.

The third generation's slightly perfunctory attitude made Itachi fall silent.

The fundamental reason why he didn't doubt Taki's motives too much was that he saw through Taki's illusions and thoughts.

Taki is different from ordinary Uchihas who are obsessed with fame and fortune, and he is also different from Shisui who is obsessed with peace in the village and family.

He applied to leave the village many times, perhaps because he was tired of the disputes between his family and the village.

In fact, if it weren't for Shisui's dying entrustment, and if it weren't for Kakashi's words that his best friend's entrustment must be upheld, Itachi felt that he would have been unable to support the previous situation.

Although Taki was a rebellious ninja, he unearthed a huge hidden danger for Konoha in advance.

Otherwise, the detonating symbols planted by the old man Xuan Neng would be enough to destroy most of Konoha at the critical moment.

But the Sandaime and others did not agree with Taki, just like the Uchiha clan members did not agree with themselves who opposed the rebellion.

"Who is right?" Itachi felt more confused than before.

At this time, a ninja came to the Hokage Building to report.

"Hokage-sama, something has happened again with the nine-tailed brat."

The ninja who came to report knelt half in front of the Hokage's desk and informed the third generation of the Jinchuuriki's rampage in detail.

Ever since he witnessed the death, Konoha's Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto has fallen into an unstable state.

Fortunately, when Naruto went berserk, the amount of Nine-Tails chakra leaked from his body was not large.

And with Itachi who has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan in the ANBU, he can easily subdue the Jinchūriki who have not yet grown up.

Sandai pressed his forehead tiredly, smiled bitterly at Itachi and said, "Itachi, please."

It's not that he can't subdue Naruto, but if he takes action, he might hurt Naruto. In this aspect, Itachi is more suitable than him.

Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi nodded.

The third generation has already explained to him Naruto's life experience. Naruto is the child of the deceased hero. If conditions permit, Itachi will try not to hurt Naruto.

Ninja school.

Naruto, wearing a tailed beast coat and a ferocious face, was running wildly on campus.

In a violent state, he still managed to maintain a trace of sanity.

In order not to hurt his classmates, Naruto vented his violent energy on the playground.

When Itachi rushed over, he saw the students from the ninja school gathered around the playground, watching Naruto running like crazy.

"Naruto, this guy actually has such strong chakra."

Many of the students in Naruto's class showed surprised expressions, even though this was not the first time they had seen Naruto in this state.

But a small number of students also complained: "Really, what's going on in the school? How can such a dangerous guy be allowed to continue to stay in the Ninja School?"

Sasuke curled his lips and said, "There is nothing to worry about. With me, a genius of the Uchiha clan, here, even such a dangerous guy will not pose any threat to you."

When he saw Naruto's rampant chakra increasing, Sasuke began to feel a little uncertain.

maybe……

At this moment, Weasel suddenly appeared.

"Don't be careless, the Nine-Tails Chakra is not something you can handle." Itachi suddenly appeared and poked his brother's forehead with his finger.

"Brother!" Although Itachi wore a mask on his face, his familiar actions made Sasuke recognize his brother.

As for Naruto, his young body was beginning to be unable to withstand the damage caused by the tailed beast's coat.

Even blood vessels burst on his body surface.

Without too much hesitation, Itachi immediately rushed over using the teleportation technique, opened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and hypnotized the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body.

Subsequently, Naruto also fell into a coma.

Seeing that the situation was stable, the principal of the ninja school rushed over to thank Itachi.

Itachi nodded indifferently and watched as the teacher from the ninja school carefully sent Naruto to the hospital. He had no reason to stay here.

After bidding farewell to his younger brother, Itachi quickly left the Ninja School and returned to the Hokage Building to report to the Third Generation.

Before leaving, he heard the Ninja School teacher muttering: "Really, this is the fifth time this month. If this continues, how can the Ninja School maintain operations?"

"The safety of students cannot be guaranteed."

…

In the darkness, a pair of evil eyes are secretly watching Konoha.

"The Uchiha clan stopped preparing for ninja tools. It was really stupid."

Obito, who was originally waiting to see the war between Konoha and Uchiha, sneered when he heard Bai Zetsu's report.

Bai Zetsu said: "However, Konoha's top brass don't seem to be so wary of Uchiha anymore."

"Hmph, this is their usual practice. It is used to confuse the Uchiha clan." Obito had a mocking look in his eyes.

"But..." Bai Zetsu is still a little concerned about the recent changes in Konoha.

At this time, Black Zetsu emerged from the ground and interrupted them: "Orochimaru has started."

During this time, Orochimaru seemed to be secretly preparing some plan.

"It seems to be used to target Pain." While speaking, Black Zetsu stared at Obito, wanting to see what he would do next.

Sensing his joking look, Obito frowned, and a chill emanated from his face under the mask: "It's impossible for Orochimaru to defeat Pain, but it's better for us to go over and see it with our own eyes."

He said sarcastically: "This is a battle between the Sannin level and the Rinnegan. Maybe the result is different from what we thought?"

As one of the three ninjas, Orochimaru is very powerful. If the Eye of the Sage falls into his hands again, it may be difficult to get it back.

And it will be difficult for Eye of the Moon's plan to proceed.

Therefore, even though he knew that Pain was powerful enough to crush him, Obito still felt uneasy.

Black Zetsu, who knew the power of the Rinnegan Eye, said: "Orochimaru should not be Pain's opponent!"
