Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 309 The Intervening Itachi

"Come out."

Uchiha Itachi arrived at a deserted forest and suddenly spoke.

Itachi, who was following behind, was startled and almost turned around and left.

"No, even Shisui couldn't detect the Illusionary Raven Mist. Father said that only those who can use their mental powers can detect it."

Itachi suddenly remembered that his counterpart in this timeline couldn't possibly have deciphered the illusion of the raven.

Suddenly, the space in front of Itachi Uchiha distorted, and then a masked, long-haired man appeared from the distorted space.

Upon seeing this familiar spatial distortion, Itachi immediately realized that this was the ability of his father's Kamui clone, and that the person in front of him must be Uchiha Obito!

"The operation will take place tonight. I hope you'll keep your promise."

"Of course, I'll lend you a hand then."

Uchiha Itachi glanced around, and after agreeing on the time, he prepared to leave; however, as soon as he turned around, he continued, "Just do what we agreed on, the security team is in your hands."

"No problem. I'll help you eliminate the Uchiha clan. Besides revenge, I have other purposes. You can use your Sharingan to watch closely when the time comes."

Obito Uchiha said, "However, according to the agreement, after the Uchiha clan is wiped out, you will also join my organization and contribute to it."

"I see."

After saying a few more words, Obito Uchiha left using a space-time ninjutsu.

Itachi, who was eavesdropping nearby, was shocked when he heard their conversation. He never imagined that he, in this world, would collude with outsiders to destroy the Uchiha clan.

After Obito Uchiha left, Itachi followed him and, just as they were about to leave the forest, he dispelled the Phantom Crow Mist.

"Who?"

Itachi Uchiha sensed someone using chakra behind him and instinctively threw a kunai. He then glanced back and saw that the kunai he had thrown had been caught by someone else.

"So it was you. It seems you're no ordinary person after all. First you inquired about the Uchiha clan, and now you're following me. What are you planning to do?"

Uchiha Itachi spoke coldly, his eyes revealing the three-tomoe Sharingan, his gaze locked onto the other Itachi in front of him.

"That day, you were the one who tricked Sasuke with the shadow clone technique, weren't you? You extracted so much information from Sasuke; it's safe to say you're a threat to Konoha!"

Itachi spoke up, "If I'm doing Konoha a disservice, then why did you join forces with outsiders to attack the Uchiha clan? I heard your entire conversation just now. You told him to deal with the security force, and why did you target your own clan members when you were dealing with ordinary Uchiha members?!"

As he spoke, Itachi's tone became serious. He could even slaughter his own clansmen and planned to kill all the old, weak, women, and children. Was this really him?

"Explain to an outsider like you?!?"

Just as Itachi Uchiha was about to subdue the person in front of him, he suddenly saw that the person's appearance changed and quickly became exactly the same as his own.

If it were just appearance, that would be one thing, but the person in front of me also has eyes that have turned into three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Sharingan? Who exactly are you?"

Itachi said, "I am Uchiha Itachi. Whether you believe it or not, my father said it's all up to me to make my own choice. Originally, I only intended to learn about the history of this world, but when something like this happens, even if the clansmen here are wicked, I can't just ignore it!"

After saying that, Itachi stretched out his hand, and a thick black mist appeared in his palm, which he then crushed.

The black mist spread instantly, so fast that Itachi Uchiha couldn't react in time, and soon it engulfed his body.

When Itachi Uchiha removed his arm from in front of him, he was shocked to find that he had arrived in another world. It was so dark that he could hardly see anything more than a few dozen meters away. There was a red sun and a blood moon in the sky, and the dense forest had suddenly turned into a desolate barren hill.

quack!

In the distance, the cawing of two crows could be heard, but to Itachi Uchiha, it sounded like a death knell.

"Space-time ninjutsu? No, this is genjutsu."

After calming himself down and analyzing the situation, Itachi Uchiha realized that after confirming it was a genjutsu, he transformed his eyes into the Mangekyou Sharingan, wanting to use his stronger eye power to see through the genjutsu.

However, just as he activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, preparing to see through the surrounding illusions, everything suddenly went black and he fainted.

In the woods, the weasel looked at its unconscious self and shook its head.

The fact that this version of myself in this world has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, coupled with Shisui's death, suggests that it's probably related to this event.

Itachi recalled Uchiha Yoichi's teachings: awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan requires intense emotional changes to generate a special kind of chakra in the brain, which is necessary for the Sharingan to evolve.

He rarely experiences strong emotional changes anymore, and his Mangekyou Sharingan isn't very strong compared to his Hell Raven ability.

"Let's calm down first."

Itachi removed Uchiha Itachi's Konoha headband, put it on his own head, and then bound his counterpart in this world with ropes.

Just now, the version of himself in this world was trapped in his hellish mist. Not only was he hypnotized, but Itachi also managed to read the memories of this version of himself and learn some things.

However, after doing all this, Itachi felt troubled again; stopping Obito Uchiha and this idiot on the ground from annihilating the clan was easy, but what should be done after that?

Judging from their conversation and memories, it seems that an indelible rift has formed between the Uchiha clan and the village. It's really a headache.

"What's wrong, Itachi? Why are you attacking yourself?"

Suddenly hearing that familiar voice behind him, Itachi turned around with a happy expression and greeted, "Father, you're finally back."

Uchiha Yang glanced at the unconscious Uchiha Itachi, then said, "Hmm, I went out to take care of some business. Looks like you couldn't resist making a move either. What are your plans now?"

Itachi said, "I don't know. Although I haven't interacted much with this stupid version of myself in this world, I feel that he is a stubborn person. If only Shisui-senpai were here."

"You want to use Kotoamatsukami to change his mind?"

"Besides that reason, Shisui-senpai was his protector and source of comfort. Now that he's lost that support, he doesn't know how to protect the village and the Uchiha clan's reputation, so he chose such an extreme method."

Itachi paused for a moment, then said with disgust, "Even the higher-ups in Konoha can't believe that this idiot knew Danzo had taken Shisui-senpai's eyes, yet he didn't do anything about it, like using a summoning jutsu!"

After saying that, Itachi used a summoning jutsu, and a crow transplanted with Kotoamatsukami appeared in his hand. Somewhat surprised, he said, "Father, I can actually summon this crow! I thought I was going to fail."

"This will definitely succeed. Although there are many other things in your body, the chakra is still very similar, and it is also Uchiha Itachi."

Uchiha Yoichi continued, "If you want to resolve this matter, you should go and wait at the entrance of Konoha Village. When you see someone unexpectedly return, you'll know what to do."

"Someone who returned unexpectedly? Father, who is that?"

"You'll understand when you see it. If she doesn't help you, just say Yang Yi asked her to."

"Okay, I understand!"

Itachi nodded and said that he originally wanted to go to Danzo first to retrieve Shisui's Sharingan, but now it seemed that he should wait at the village entrance first.

The massacre took place at night, and what Father meant was that the person who would help the Uchiha clan should be back soon.

"Then I'll go wait for someone, Father."

After saying goodbye, Itachi carried the unconscious Uchiha Itachi on his back and turned to leave.

------------

"Phew, I finally made it back before dark. It's been so long since I've been back to the village; I almost got lost!"

Upon seeing the gates of Konoha Village, Tsunade couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. She had originally planned never to return to this place that had caused her so much pain.

But the resurrection of Rope Tree changed her mind; Rope Tree could not wander outside with her, and Rope Tree wanted to fulfill his unfinished dream.

Nawaki, who looked young but was actually almost fifty, couldn't help but say, "Sister, you've worked so hard all these years."

"Rope Tree."

Tsunade felt a warmth in her heart, then patted Nawaki's shoulder with a fist and said with a smile, "Stop talking about sentimentality. You still have to undergo my training, and I won't be lenient or lenient with you in the slightest!"

"Oh! I'll train twice as hard as my sister!"

After saying that, the three people and the pig walked towards the village.

"Lady Tsunade?"

The two Konoha ninjas guarding the door were excited to see Tsunade and quickly said, "Lady Tsunade, it's good to see you back. I'll go and inform her right away."

Tsunade quickly stopped her, saying, "No need, I'll go back first and find the Third Hokage myself!"

Shortly after entering the village, a person suddenly appeared in front of Tsunade and the other two.

"Tsunade, Lady Tsunade."

Itachi almost called her by the wrong name; they'd lived together for so long that he'd gotten used to calling her that, but thankfully he corrected himself in time.

Tsunade frowned slightly, then noticed the fan-shaped symbol on Itachi's body and asked, "Which branch of the Uchiha clan are you from? What do you need me for?"

Itachi spoke first, "There's something very important I need to tell Lady Tsunade, concerning the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village."

"It sounds like a troublesome matter. Let's talk about it tomorrow. I rushed back today, and the house hasn't been cleaned yet."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade was about to decline, but then realized that she would definitely become a ninja again after her return, so she changed her mind and said that she could just let this Uchiha brat go to the old man tomorrow.

"No, Lady Tsunade, this matter must be discussed now. Only you can handle it."

"Hey kid, didn't you see we just came back from outside?"

Yang said I could contact you.

"Who?"

Tsunade was initially furious and wanted to refuse, but upon hearing the name Yoichi, her expression changed instantly, and she quickly asked Itachi Uchiha.

"Are those person's characteristics xxxxxxx?"

"Yes, that's him."

Itachi nodded, secretly hoping that his father hadn't done anything too outrageous to Tsunade.

Tsunade quickly asked, "Can you still find him?"

Itachi took a step back and said, "This... we probably can't find him. He appeared suddenly, said a few words, and then left. I don't know where he went."

"Tsk, this guy is really mysterious."

Tsunade bit her lip and said, then turned to Itachi Uchiha and said, "Alright, for that guy's sake, kid, tell me what you want."

Itachi said, "It's not convenient to talk here. Please, Lady Tsunade, come with me to another place."

Tsunade nodded and said, "Alright, Shizune, you take Nawaki to the Senju clan's territory first and tidy up the place."

Afterwards, she followed Itachi Uchiha to a secluded spot and asked, "Is this a good place, kid? Tell me what's up?"

"This story begins eight years ago with the Nine-Tails' rampage."

Itachi Uchiha said slowly, but he changed the part about himself and added that it was with the help of Yoichi Uchiha that he discovered so many things.

Later, Danzo steals Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, threatening to annihilate the Uchiha clan, and the Uchiha clan plans a revolution, etc.

"This is so troublesome. I run into this kind of thing as soon as I get back."

Tsunade rubbed her temples. If she were to take a firmer stance, she could control the Third Hokage, but what about the Uchiha clan?

Itachi spoke up, "I'll take care of the Uchiha clan, but there are two more people I can't let go, Lady Tsunade."

Tsunade's brows furrowed slightly, then she asked, "Are you talking about the masked Uchiha who controlled the Nine-Tails, and Danzo?"

Itachi nodded and said, "He ambushed Shisui-senpai, stole his Mangekyou Sharingan, and even threatened 'me' to exterminate the Uchiha clan. For that alone, I cannot let him go!"

"He's a high-ranking official in Konoha."

Tsunade rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on, and secretly grumbled about Uchiha Yoichi for giving her such a big problem.

"Leave that masked Uchiha to me. As for the others, I'll talk to the Third Hokage tomorrow. But if you do something like this, even if the Uchiha clan is safe in the end, you'll be in big trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Itachi thought for a moment. He would simply return with his father, and as for his current self in this world, he would need to work on reforming his obsessive personality. So Itachi said, "Lady Tsunade, after this matter, I am willing to become your ANBU member permanently."

"What do you mean, 'my Anbu'? You brat, I have no intention of becoming Hokage."

However, after saying this, Tsunade suddenly realized that Konoha was currently facing a talent shortage, and once she returned, there would probably be no one more suitable than her to be the Fifth Hokage; if there really was a suitable candidate, the village wouldn't have gone eight years without electing a Fifth Hokage.

Tsunade scratched her golden hair, looking troubled, and said, "We'll see. Do you have any information about that masked Uchiha?"

"Yes, his most relied-upon ability is space-time ninjutsu. This ninjutsu is very troublesome, but there are ways to break it."

Itachi then told Tsunade about Obito's information. He had been teleported by the Kamui eye technique several times, so he was naturally familiar with the characteristics of this eye technique.
