Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Chapter 12 Familiar Blame-Shifting Tactics

"Green medicine... There are no instructions for use. It's such a simple and unpretentious name. Since this reward is related to treatment, it's most likely a medicine used for treatment."

Yin Yue composed herself and walked to the back of the group, becoming increasingly curious about the reward item.

This has always been the case with task systems.

The assignment of tasks was very arbitrary.

The rewards are also rather abstract.

Yinyue glanced at the "Task List" and focused on the "Main Quests".

Whether it's a main quest or a side quest, once it's released, it can be stored in his mind in text form.

Main Quest: The Night of the Massacre

[Options]:

1. Kill all the other Uchiha.

2. Successfully escaped Konoha Village.

[Reward]: (Plunder) Stealing another person's kaleidoscope allows you to absorb their eye power and gain that kaleidoscope's ability.

They have fled Konoha.

However, the mission was not completed. Yin Yue guessed correctly; the system determined that they had not yet successfully escaped.

To complete this main storyline.

Drinking the moon is estimated.

It might be necessary to ensure the complete safety of the Uchiha rogue ninja squad, or perhaps to wipe out the pursuing team and leave the Land of Fire.

"Captain... Tamao's many wounds have started bleeding heavily again..."

The young Uchiha looked anxious, sweat beading on his forehead, and he kept looking back.

Tamao lay quietly on his back, his head, chest, and limbs all wrapped in bandages soaked in blood, like a mummy soaked in blood.

Tamao lost consciousness, his eyes were tightly closed, and his breathing was visibly weak.

The Uchiha members stopped in their tracks and looked anxiously at Tamao, still shaken by the memory of Danzo's powerful and sophisticated Wind Release ninjutsu.

Except for his back, there was no intact skin on his front, as if he had been cut into a thousand pieces.

Uchiha Izumi's bright eyes revealed worry for her clansmen and comrades. She hated herself for not learning medical ninjutsu while in Konoha.

The Uchiha clan members knew this in their hearts.

No one will help them right now, and they are unlikely to encounter any medical ninjas along the way.

Tamao will most likely die on the road.

Yin Yue frowned slightly, focused her mind, and reached out into the void.

His actions left the others puzzled.

A moment later, everyone looked on in astonishment as two items appeared out of thin air in Yin Yue's hands, as if she had used a mysterious and unpredictable space-time ninjutsu.

"Yin Yue is really something else!"

Uchiha Nanfeng raised his hand, adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, and muttered to himself.

This scene surprised Mikoto Uchiha, even though she was still being controlled by Yachimoku.

Yin Yue took out a small black porcelain bottle and a yellow paper-wrapped "soldier's ration pill" from her storage space, poured out one pill from each, and stuffed them into Tamao's mouth.

The small black porcelain bottle contains a medical pill that can actively activate the body's chakra.

He handed the two kinds of medicine to the Uchiha youth carrying Tamao on his back and instructed him, "Give him one pill every hour."

The Uchiha man took the medicine bottle, and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but then looked worried.

Drinking the moon was intended to replenish the chakra within Tamao's body, thereby forcibly prolonging his life.

This folk remedy was prevalent during the Fourth Shinobi World War. If medical resources were unavailable during wartime, forcibly feeding dying wounded soldiers ration pills could enhance their chakra and prolong their lives.

Everything has a price.

At most one week.

If a dying wounded soldier does not receive medical ninjutsu treatment, the chakra meridians stimulated to their limit by drugs will be completely damaged.

The wounded can also die suddenly.

"He won't die for now. Let's keep going. The pursuers are probably already on their way. If you don't want to die, run faster!"

With a calm expression, Yin Yue turned around and returned to the front of the group to continue leading the escape.

He did everything he was supposed to do; whether Tamao lives or dies is up to fate.

"You rest, I'll carry him."

Uchiha Nanfeng took the two kinds of medicine from the exhausted Uchiha youth and carried Tamao on his back.

The Uchiha youth's back was already stained with blood, and he quickly expressed his gratitude:

"Thank you, Captain Nanfeng."

Nanfeng reminded, "Change your clothes and put them away; the blood will leave traces."

The young Uchiha nodded, filled with gratitude.

The young man was Tamao's subordinate. He thought that Yinyue would abandon their captain, since they were on the run. However, Yinyue did not do so.

This put his mind at ease.

Captain Nanfeng, who had a rift with Captain Tamao, also put aside his past grievances.

These Uchiha had no idea where they were going to escape to, but the atmosphere within the group was quietly undergoing a subtle change.

……

The outer perimeter of the Uchiha clan's territory.

Flocks of crows circled in the night sky, their hoarse cries adding an eerie, deathly atmosphere to this ominous land.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado walked side by side toward the Uchiha clan's territory.

The secret agents were placed at the entrances and exits of the streets.

The three men had grim expressions as they pondered how to handle the events of the night.

"Hiruzen, I believe that the Uchiha clan was wiped out by that one Uchiha rogue ninja squad."

"Turn to your room," Xiaochun said softly.

As she spoke, her dim, yellowish old eyes held no emotion; she believed that this was how things should be done.

Mitokado Yan's eyes lit up.

I think this plan is feasible.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that this attempt to shift blame was very familiar, but he simply looked at Koharu Utatane and did not offer any opinion.

Koharu, unhurriedly turning over to her new room, continued:

"After the Uchiha clan was wiped out by a defector Uchiha group, Itachi Uchiha tried his best to stop the massacre but failed. He is now a hero ninja of Konoha, Hiruzen. With Danzo dead, Konoha desperately needs manpower!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi questioned, "If Itachi doesn't agree to be this hero, should we use Sasuke to persuade him to stay?"

Turning to her room, Xiaochun smiled with narrowed eyes and slowly nodded.

Hiruzen Sarutobi flicked his sleeve and said coldly:

"Given Itachi's personality, he would never agree to become a hero of Konoha in this way, not even if Sasuke were used to blackmail him."

Koharu Utatane smiled and, in front of Homura Mitokado, leaned close to Hiruzen Sarutobi's ear and whispered a few words.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's brows furrowed as he fell into deep thought, facing a difficult choice and becoming indecisive.

……

As dawn broke, at the Root organization headquarters, a six-person elite Root team quietly left Konoha.

They were Danzo's confidants.

Upon learning that Danzo had been killed by the Uchiha defector squad, he organized his own group to carry out a revenge hunt.

Leading them were the mountain wind and the oil woman who took the root.

……

Uchiha clan.

The bodies of civilians lay scattered across the streets, and blood pooled in the low-lying areas.

Crows, their eyes bloodshot, perched on the wall, silently watching the surroundings, waiting for something to arrive.

Until Itachi slowly walked over.

Whoosh—the flock of crows then spread their wings and scattered in all directions, shedding many jet-black feathers in the process.

Itachi hadn't walked far before he found his target.

He noticed Sasuke sitting against the wall of the wooden house with his head down, so he activated his Mangekyou Sharingan:

"How foolish I was..."

Sasuke remained motionless, his eyes tightly closed.

"Um?"

Itachi frowned, raised his hand to rub his eyes, which were now blurry as if they were covered in mist.

The field of vision is clear.

Itachi was shocked to find that Sasuke was unconscious.
