I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Sarutobi Clan Shrine.

Six elite Jonin—Kakashi Hatake, Itachi Uchiha, Might Guy, Zabuza Momochi, Kurenai Yuhi, and Baki—arrived and instantly surrounded the mysterious masked ninja.

"Watch out for their Sharingan! This person is the culprit behind the Nine-Tails' rampage!"

Upon seeing the enemy, Kurenai Yuhi snorted coldly and immediately revealed the identity of Masked Obito.

Upon hearing this, Zabuza Momochi grinned, revealing a bloodthirsty smile, and gripped the guillotine on his back.

"Hehe, so it seems we Mist Ninja also have a grudge against you. Perfect."

"Be careful, the opponent is a powerful individual who has mastered Wood Release and the Sharingan."

The group calmly observed their opponent, clearly already possessing a thorough understanding of the mysterious masked man's information, as this intelligence had been widely circulated throughout the ninja world.

Facing six elite Jonin, Masked Obito was filled with anger, deeply resenting Uchiha Yoru for exposing his information to the entire ninja world.

"Uchiha Itachi! Keep a close eye on things with your Mangekyou Sharingan. I'll be the bait. If they dare to use genjutsu, that will be your chance too."

Facing the Mangekyou Sharingan, Zabuza Momochi was filled with bloodthirsty excitement and showed no sign of backing down. Instead, he habitually adopted the tactics of the Mist Ninja.

He acted as bait; as long as the opponent released genjutsu, there would be a momentary exposure, which would be Itachi Uchiha's opportunity.

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha, his eyes gleaming with the Mangekyou Sharingan, calmly stared at the other party. Upon hearing Zabuza Momochi's words, he nodded in agreement.

"Watch out, Zabuza-senpai."

Seeing this formation, and knowing that now was not the right time, Masked Obito revealed an evil smile.

"It seems the game has to end here for today."

His body slowly merged into the earth, while hundreds of Narutos roared angrily and unleashed Rasengan after Rasengan as if they were free, creating huge craters in the ground.

When the dust settled and the figure was revealed, Sarutobi Asuma was nowhere to be seen; the tree stump that had clearly been used in the Substitution Jutsu had been smashed to pieces.

"Asuma-sensei!"

Naruto Uzumaki raised his head and roared angrily. In the distance, on the rooftops, Asuma Sarutobi and Obito with a mask stood side by side.

"Naruto! Don't be impulsive, the enemy in front of us is extremely dangerous."

Kakashi Hatake intercepted Naruto Uzumaki, stopping his impulsive act, and calmly surveyed his surroundings.

"Be extremely careful of your surroundings for traps."

At that moment, Maki immediately detonated a signal flare, which exploded in the sky. Soon after, a large number of Konoha ninjas would arrive to surround and annihilate them.

Looks like there's no fun to be had today.

Masked Obito spoke mockingly, while Sarutobi Asuma lit a cigarette and revealed a twisted, perverted smile.

"Hehe, Shikamaru, look, even if you ultimately choose your own father, we're all the same. We're not that great. Just like you Ino-Shika-Cho chose your own clan, so too does our teacher want to live."

Seeing the tragedy all around him, Kakashi Hatake turned around, looked at the arriving Chunin squad, and immediately began issuing orders.

"Neji, use your Byakugan to be on guard and check for traps. Lee, Shino Aburame, you two, quickly treat the wounded."

Under the methodical command, Sarutobi Asuma, who was on the roof, saw this scene, especially Shikamaru, and he even revealed a perverted smile.

"The teacher is not wrong. The teacher is just an ordinary person like you."

Looking at Sarutobi Asuma's neurotic behavior, Obito, who was standing to the side, muttered to himself, "It seems that the mental pressure this time is too great, which has caused Asuma to become somewhat mentally unstable, or rather, psychologically abnormal. But this is good."

After this incident, Sarutobi Asuma had nowhere to stand in the village anymore.

"Kakashi Hatake, I look forward to seeing you three years from now."

He gave Kakashi Hatake a deep look, his Kaleidoscope Sharingan rippling, and then he and Asuma Sarutobi disappeared from the spot.

"Everyone be careful, in case it's a scam."

It has to be said that Obito Uchiha's eye technique was practically cheating. Even after disappearing, he was still feared by Kakashi Hatake, who still solemnly issued a warning.

……

Konoha, the Kage's office building.

"Kakashi, you mean that of the three current leaders of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, one is dead, one is paralyzed, and the remaining one, Nara Shikaku, has also suffered mental trauma?"

Looking at Kakashi and the others who returned to report, Tsunade had a speechless expression. The report wasn't bad; it was too good.

He practically made a contribution to the peace of the village; the mysterious masked man was a divine helper.

Tsunade's expression made Kakashi awkwardly lower his head and say, "Apart from Akimichi Choza's sacrifice, everyone else is in the operating room being treated. Even Nara Shikamaru, who had the least serious injuries, was injured in his genitals by the aftershocks of the battle and is currently being treated."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's eyes lit up, and she immediately laughed loudly at Yekura, Mei Terumi, and the other two beside her, saying, "Come on, it's my treat tonight, let's drink until we drop!"

It's obvious that Tsunade doesn't want to personally treat the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, since the situation of the three clans is actually beneficial to the stability of Konoha.

She was overjoyed, especially after hearing that the relationship between the three races seemed to be on the verge of cracking in this generation.

She remembered vividly how the Ino-Shika-Cho trio ate when they followed Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The Senju clan's assets were swallowed up by these people. Otherwise, with such a small pie, how could such a large clan have been created?

How did the Sarutobi clan rise to power? They simply devoured the fattest piece of meat from the Senju clan.

The smaller families like the pig, deer, and butterfly naturally got their share of the meat. After greedily devouring and digesting it, they became the powerful families they are today.

However, from now on, everything that happened before is just a thing of the past.

It's truly a case of fortunes changing every thirty years; what was taken in the past now has to be returned with interest.

Watching the three Fifth Hokage leisurely leave work, Kakashi Hatake sighed, rubbed his forehead, and slowly walked out of the movie building.

"Only Yoru's terrifying physique could withstand these three Fifth Hokage, otherwise!"

Thinking of this, Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but shudder, secretly envious.

Even for a ninja, the ultimate goal is still body training.

However, these three fifth-generation leaders were all cunning and shrewd, and he dared not underestimate them in the slightest.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they can still get along peacefully for now; it's all because Uchiha Yoru is still above them, and they have a plan that requires their cooperation.

Medical Department.

The red lights flickered in the emergency room, and the senior ninjas in the medical department were all extremely tense. This was an extremely tough challenge for them.

"The father and son from the Yamanaka family suffered the most severe injuries. Multiple organs, including their respiratory tracts, were severely burned, and large areas of their external bodies were charred..."

"Chōji Akimichi's hands were almost completely torn apart, his bones were shattered, and two of his fingers were blown off..."

"Nara Shikaku suffered a mental breakdown; he will be given stabilizing agents first, and other patients will be treated as a priority."

"Nara Shikamaru was exhausted of chakra, his body was weak, and he was also injured in the leg by the aftershocks of the explosion..."

The head of the medical department, pharmacist Nono U, calmly analyzed the cases of the injured that required emergency treatment and also explained how to treat them.

She is now a famous medical ninja in Konoha, and is even said to be no less than Tsunade.

After Pharmacist Nonou gave the order, Yamanaka Ino, dressed in a nurse's uniform, stepped forward with a nervous expression.

After seeing this, Yakushi Nonou looked curious and asked, "Ino, what's wrong?"

Yamanaka Ino bowed respectfully and gently pointed to Yakushi Nonou's medical record.

"Minister, I believe we should prioritize treating the seriously injured, while treating those with minor injuries would actually reduce medical resources, and besides!"

Yamanaka Ino pointed to Nara Shikamaru's medical record, and Yakushi Nonou suddenly realized that as the strongest spy from Root, how could she not understand this?

She immediately understood and nodded calmly, "Ino, you're right. Go and call Kabuto Yakushi over. Prioritize saving this young ninja, Choji Akimichi."

"yes!"

Inside the hospital room with its flashing red light, Pharmacist Kabuto gazed at the person on the bed with a gentle smile.

"Go to sleep, you'll feel better after a good night's sleep."

Lying on the operating table, Nara Shikamaru slowly closed his eyes in exhaustion. His chakra was completely depleted, which was an extremely dangerous situation, and he was also injured.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the operating table. Kabuto Yakushi's expression remained unchanged, and he slowly withdrew with a gentle smile.

At this moment, Ino, standing outside, looked at Kabuto and said in a deep voice, "The headmaster has instructed Jonin Kabuto to assist in prioritizing the treatment of the seriously injured."

"Then?" Kabuto pushed up his glasses. He seemed to have figured something out, but he pretended not to know.

Yamanaka Ino glanced at the operating room and said calmly, "This injury does not endanger the ability to become a ninja. You must know that any ninja is an extremely valuable fighting force for the village. Preserving the village's fighting force is the priority."

"I see."

Kabuto immediately understood. With a gentle smile, he took Nara Shikamaru's medical records and stepped out of the operating table, giving instructions to the assistants who were already prepared.

"The hospital director's surgical patient is extremely dangerous; this one is now in your hands."

The young ninja in the lead scratched his head awkwardly. When he heard that he was to perform the surgery on his own, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. However, he still said cautiously, "I'm afraid my experience won't be enough."

Facing the boy, Kabuto Yakushi smiled gently, patted his shoulder, and shook his head reassuringly, saying, "Just focus on doing it. Besides, I already checked it."

"Nara Shikamaru's lower leg is necrotic, especially since his two balls were cut by a shard of a shuriken, and the bacteria that caused the infection have long since lost their activity. Perhaps this is a simple surgery, and also an opportunity to train you."

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Ino smiled with satisfaction. Perhaps this was retribution. She had ended up like this before, but you were lucky; at least you still had your parents.

Upon hearing this, the young medical ninja immediately looked enlightened, let out a long sigh of relief, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It turns out it's a surgical excision and suturing procedure. I thought it was an emergency surgery. Don't worry, Kabuto Shinobu, I will definitely complete this surgery."

The young medical ninja was full of confidence and patted his chest to guarantee that if he couldn't even complete this small surgery, what was the point of all this?

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

……

On the operating table, Nara Shikamaru felt the blinding light and saw figures in white coats. In his dazed state, he vaguely heard something.

"The patient's vital signs are stable, and no signs of poisoning have been found."

"The patient has sufficient blood volume; surgery can proceed..."

"The necrotic leg has been completely removed, disinfected... the testicles have been removed, and the wound has been sutured..."

"Perform catheterization..."

"Too small. This is a male ninja, and he will be carrying out ninja missions in the future. It is common for him to lie in wait for several days. Turn it up. During missions, you should deal with your own problems as quickly as possible."

"Understood! I've activated the ultimate skill."

In a daze, Nara Shikamaru fell unconscious again, unaware of what he had lost this time.

……

Inside the Kage's office building, Uchiha Yoru looked at the administrative affairs around him and couldn't help but rub his temples. Recently, there had been a lot of administrative affairs due to the addition of the Land of Wind, but it was fine and would be fine once things stabilized.

"Lord Ye, a message has arrived from the medical department."

Looking up at Uchiha Itachi, who was kneeling respectfully on one knee, Uchiha Yoru shook his head and said, "Itachi, I've told you many times, just call me teacher."

"Yes, Lord Ye!"

Well, Itachi Uchiha is clearly a person with his own opinions. After taking a sip, Yoru Uchiha smiled and shook his head, saying nothing more.

"Lord Yoru, the medical department has sent back surgical information. Nara Shikamaru, whose injuries were the least severe, underwent a genital amputation. Nara Shikaku is in a coma due to his injuries, which are psychological traumas—a blind spot in the medical field. Based on the current situation, this psychological trauma is likely permanent."

"In the future, Nara Shikaku will probably be unable to use his brain, otherwise he will easily suffer from headaches and lethargy."

After reading this page of the report, Itachi Uchiha had a strange expression on his face, and then began to read other information.

"Akimichi Choji's hands were severely injured. He has undergone reconstructive surgery and, based on observation, will require six months of recovery. However, it will likely be difficult for him to use the family's secret techniques again. At the same time, Akimichi Choji is declared dead!"

"Yanaka!" As he read the last page, Itachi Uchiha said solemnly, "Yanaka Hi died from her injuries, and although the clan head of the Yamanaka clan survived thanks to her strong physique as a Jonin, the extent of her burns means that even if she recovers, she will probably never be able to remain a ninja again."

After hearing this information, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but show a strange expression. What was this? Had Obito completely solved a thorny problem for him?

Of the three clans—Ino, Shika, and Cho—the Yamanaka clan lost its son and became crippled. The Akimichi clan lost its clan leader, and its surviving son was also partially crippled.

Although both the Nara father and son survived, one's mind became unable to function at high intensity, rendering the man known as Konoha's most powerful brain useless. The other became an androgynous person.

More importantly, based on the course of this battle and the current situation, the three races, which have been so close for so many years, are probably in trouble.

Don't tell me the Ino-Shika-Cho clans are like family. Even members of the same clan can betray each other. Didn't that happen with the Uchiha clan? Or the Hyuga clan?

What right do you, a mere pig, deer, and butterfly, have to compete?

"Teacher Ye, I think this is an excellent opportunity."

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha expressed his opinion, but not as the head of the Anbu, but as a disciple.

"Oh?" Looking at Uchiha Yoru's expression, Uchiha Itachi lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "The Ino-Shika-Cho clans are no longer as glorious as they once were. After this incident, the seeds of division have been sown and sprouted."

"Win over Akimichi, suppress Nara, and let Yamanaka run rampant!"

Win over one clan, suppress another, and the remaining clan will ignore you! Looking at Itachi, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but clap his hands, "Not bad, Itachi, you're very prepared."

"In that case, let's go and make preparations for this matter. However, we should take advantage of the fact that the Akimichi clan patriarch has died and the Akimichi clan is in a state of panic."

Uchiha Yoru revealed a meaningful smile.

"Yes! I understand!"

Itachi Uchiha immediately understood that even if he were to win over the Akimichi clan, he would only be winning over a portion of them, or rather, splitting the Akimichi clan.

Itachi Uchiha felt no pity for the fate of the Uchiha clan's former enemy; in fact, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing all about Root's plan to exterminate the clan.

If his teacher hadn't won, would the Uchiha clan still exist today?

He who kills will be killed by men forever! (End of Chapter)
