Liao Wu ruthlessly shattered Itachi's last line of defense. After Shisui committed suicide, the Uchiha clan postponed the date of the coup.

And they suspect that Itachi killed Shisui?

In the end, nothing came of it, and the Uchiha clan didn't dare to do anything to Itachi, who had already joined the Anbu.

The conflict between the two sides remained unresolved, and the Third Hokage and Fugaku could only watch helplessly as things unfolded.

They can neither step forward to ease the conflict, nor can they have a decisive and brutal fight to see who wins.

The third generation has grown old, and Fugaku has retired.

Things in this world are like this: you're neither completely good nor completely bad. You stand in the middle, helplessly watching people who are more thoroughly good than you drive Land Rovers and hug young models.

On the eve of the Uchiha coup, Danzo contacted Itachi and ordered Itachi to massacre the entire Uchiha clan.

Itachi did not refuse; he chose the village over his family.

He feared that the rebellion caused by the Uchiha clan would lead to the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Fearing even greater casualties, Itachi decided to destroy his own clan.

However, Itachi loved his younger brother and made a request to leave only Sasuke behind.

That day, the blood moon hung high in the sky. Itachi stood atop a telephone pole and began slaughtering his own clansmen, his distant relatives...

Even his parents—Fugaku and Mikoto.

"No--"

Itachi can't accept that he has degenerated into an executioner who even slaughters his own clan.

Liao Wu coldly pried open Itachi's eyelids, forcing him to watch helplessly as he killed his parents.

"Senju Itachi, stop pretending. This is the real you. You are willing to sacrifice a few for the greater good, even your own clan will become a sacrifice for your righteous cause."

Overwhelmed by emotion, Itachi's Sharingan tomoe swirled as he glared angrily at Liao Wu.

"No, no, I won't become like this. It's all your doing, it's all your illusion."

"You bastard!"

Liao Wu was even angrier than Itachi: "If my eye technique were Tsukuyomi, I would have been electrocuting you for three days and three nights by now."

"You should be glad I don't have Tsukuyomi, but don't think I can't handle you."

Liao Wu was about to show Itachi an eye-searing scene when the illusionary world shifted, and Itachi and Shisui transformed into round-faced, buzz-cut, bearded figures, embracing each other in a somewhat ambiguous way.

Itachi was so disgusted by what he saw that he squeezed his eyes shut, crying out, "No! Don't let me see this!"

Liao Wu forced his eyes open: "Hmph, you have to look whether you want to or not!"

Itachi knelt on the ground, clinging to Liao Wu's leg and begging for mercy: "Uncle, I was wrong, please don't let me see this!"

Liao Wu sneered, "You brat, now you know how powerful I am, don't you?"

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever Uncle says from now on."

Ultimately, Itachi is still a child whose mind is still developing; he cries out as soon as he's hit.

Liao Wu stroked Itachi's bald head: "Now you know why I defected, right?"

Itachi nodded: "I understand. The Konoha higher-ups are all extremely wicked, especially Danzo. He wants to completely shut down the Uchiha clan."

Liao Wu nodded: "There's still hope! Okay, that's enough. Your strange behavior outside is about to be noticed by the people around you."

Liao Wu cast a rather large amount of illusion on Itachi. The illusion space has been there for so long that the outside world should be discovering it soon.

Just as Liao Wu was about to break free of the illusion, Itachi knelt down and begged Liao Wu.

"Uncle, what you showed me was just speculation. The conflict between the Uchiha clan and the higher-ups has been resolved. They should stop colluding with Madara!"

"Come back! Mom is waiting for you at home."

"Mom is pregnant and needs you very much!"

Liao Wu retorted, "It wasn't me who did it, why should I go back?"

"Uncle, how can you say such a thing? That's your little nephew!"

"..."

Liao Wu paused for a moment, then stroked his chin. At this point, it was time for Sasuke and Naruto to start their campaigns.

Itachi nodded: "Father has already chosen a name for the child, Sasuke. Whether it's a boy or a girl, they will all be called Sasuke, as a tribute to the father of the Hokage—Sarutobi Sasuke."

"Is this the kind of respect you'd receive?"

Liao Wu was speechless: "If I have a son in the future, I'll name him Uchiha Madara. Is that a tribute to Madara?"

The ninjas didn't shy away from the topic, knowing that the famous Guanyin Bodhisattva was named after the same person as Nihou.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was directly renamed Guanyin Bodhisattva.

There's a saying that soldiers don't talk about politics. That's ridiculous. Even gods have to make way for politics, so how can soldiers not talk about it?

If you don't take sides, you might be sold out and used to fill trenches without even knowing it.

"this--"

Itachi was a little confused. Liao Wu's statement was that his father was taking advantage of the Third Hokage.

Liao Wu shook his head: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. As for Mikoto—"

"Hmph... I defected back then to avoid seeing him and getting annoyed. I hate Fugaku, I hate the clan's decision, and I hate God for giving me a body with kidney deficiency."

"Otherwise, I should take care of Misaka!"

Itachi listened attentively. He had heard from his mother that Ryougo and Mikoto were not biological siblings.

Liao Wu's parents were comrades-in-arms of Mikoto's father. After Liao Wu's parents died in battle, Mikoto's father, who was also Itachi's maternal grandfather, took Liao Wu into his home and adopted him.

Later, Mikoto's parents died in the war, and Ryogo, despite his frail health, took on missions to support his family.

When Mikoto grew up, the police department's higher-ups refused to give Ryogo a wife because of his health condition, and instead assigned Fugaku to marry Mikoto.

Liao Wu was warned by high-ranking police officials that he was only allowed to treat Mikoto as a younger sister.

Liao Wu was the product of consanguineous marriage and had some blood relation with Mikoto. He himself did not want to have a mentally challenged child with Mikoto.

At that time, he had given up on himself.

After Mikoto left, Ryogo was completely desperate about the future and began to conduct forbidden experiments, attempting to use forbidden techniques to repair the defects in his body.

Liao Wu looked at his claws: "Now that I've broken free from all the shackles of the past, I'll take back everything that belongs to me!"

Itachi looked at Liao Wu with some fear: "Uncle, what do you want to do?"

Liao Wu sneered: "What for? Of course, it's to capture Mikoto and suppress her under the mountains, destroying your happy family."

Itachi asked疑惑地, "Uncle, why did you keep my mother under this mountain for no reason?"

Liao Wu patted his head: "Why do you ask so many questions? Can't I cosplay Erlang Shen for a bit? Okay, that's enough."

"Itachi, I just told you so many of the Uchiha's disadvantages, do you still believe that Konoha is the Uchiha's final destination?"

Itachi nodded without hesitation: "I believe that the Hokage will not harm us Uchiha. Now that Shisui has become Jiraiya's disciple."

"Even though we Uchiha clan are under surveillance, we still stand with the Allied Shinobi Forces. One day everyone will see that the Uchiha clan is not the source of trouble."

"Senju Itachi—"

Liao Wu roared in anger. It turned out that all his talk and all the PowerPoint presentations he had given were for nothing. Itachi still believed that Konoha would accept the Uchiha.

Itachi comforted him, "Uncle, don't be angry. I think—"

"Don't speak—"

Liao Wu roared at Itachi, "I'm asking you, if Madara and I were both wiped out by the Allied Shinobi Forces, would the Uchiha clan be able to completely accept Konoha afterward?"

Itachi nodded: "Of course!"

"Bullshit! As long as the Senju clan exists, and Tobirama Senju's dutiful sons and grandsons are still around, the Uchiha clan will always be a thorn in their side."

"It would be even worse if Shisui became Jiraiya's disciple, because Jiraiya would unconditionally side with Konoha, and Shisui would be trained by Jiraiya to be a ninja who puts the village first."
