Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Chapter 33 Sasuke: Itachi!!

A week has passed since the night of the massacre, and the sky over Konoha is overcast with a heavy, oppressive atmosphere.

The neighborhood is no longer as bustling as it once was.

Three days after the night of the massacre, the bodies of the Uchiha clan leader, Fugaku Uchiha, along with those of Uchiha ninjas and civilians, were buried one after another.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, personally attended the ceremony with two Hokage advisors and the heads of other clans, dressed in mourning clothes, to pay their respects.

At the same time, the Hokage and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire simultaneously announced that the Land of Fire had entered a state of war, and the border defenses had been raised to the highest level.

The Konoha leadership issued a worldwide arrest warrant for the Uchiha defector squad.

Ten elite three-person squads of the Anbu were dispatched as pursuit ninja to hunt down the rogue ninja to the death!

With a mix of information, both true and false, the various families were filled with anxiety.

……

Uchiha clan.

The clan chief's residence.

Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha, one big and one small, sat on the wooden steps under the eaves, expressionless, staring at the broken Uchiha fan on the wall outside the door.

Sasuke's eyes were dark, bright, clear, and lively, and his features were handsome, but he looked tired at the moment.

He remembered that it was when the clansmen mistakenly believed that Itachi had killed Shisui, and came to question Itachi. Itachi got angry and destroyed the fan-shaped clan emblem.

The once bustling Uchiha clan territory is now deserted, with empty and desolate streets.

Itachi lowered his eyes, glancing sideways at his younger brother who was neither crying nor making a fuss, and bowed his head in guilt.

After the night of the massacre of his clan, Sasuke awakened his single-tomoe Sharingan, overwhelmed with grief, and spent his days hiding at home, weeping bitterly.

Only a single tomoe Sharingan...

Itachi was not satisfied with this.

But at least.

It can be considered a beginning.

the day before yesterday.

Sasuke finally accepted the fact that his father had died tragically, his clan had been wiped out, and his mother had fled.

But he remained in a daze, silent and withdrawn, though he ate with boundless hatred, which Itachi was quite pleased with.

Only extreme hatred can allow the Uchiha clan to grow; this is both a curse and an opportunity.

Swah——

Suddenly, two elite members dressed as members of the Root organization leaped and landed steadily in front of Itachi.

The two glanced at the taciturn Sasuke.

One person leaned down and whispered in the weasel's ear.

Itachi's expression changed slightly. He slowly stood up, looked down at Sasuke, and a smile curved his lips as he narrowed his eyes and said:

"Sasuke, you'll have to take care of your own breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the next few days. I've received intelligence that I might be going away for a while on a mission."

Sasuke's expression was icy. He stood up, turned around, stopped, and, with his back to Itachi, asked:

"Are you going to find your mother?"

Itachi smiled and nodded, trying his best to make his voice sound as kind as before:

"Yes, I will bring Mom back!"

Sasuke walked straight toward the open training ground in the courtyard without giving any further response.

Itachi stared at his younger brother's retreating figure, the expression on his tear-lined face gradually fading, as if he had never smiled. He coldly addressed his subordinates beside him:

Let's go!

"yes--"

In the inner courtyard training area of ​​the Uchiha clan head's residence, Sasuke, his face contorted in rage, gritted his teeth and unleashed a barrage of taijutsu attacks on the wooden stake before him, his fists flying like the wind.

bang bang bang-

He pounded the wooden stake again and again.

Sasuke's small fist was bleeding, the blood staining the wooden stake red, but his attacks continued.

He smashed it until his anger exploded.

boom! !

Sasuke leaped into the air, delivering a sideways kick that sent the taller wooden stake flying with a thud.

ga-

On the courtyard wall, a jet-black raven seemed to be attracted by the commotion. It flapped its wings, landed steadily, and peered at Sasuke with its head held high.

"drink--"

Sasuke was sweating profusely, his hands on his knees, panting heavily. He suddenly turned his head to stare at the raven on the wall, his pupils turning blood red in an instant.

One magatama is activated.

The raven's pupils contracted sharply, sensing danger, and it was about to flap its wings and fly away.

blow!!

A kunai anticipated its movements and struck its neck precisely. Blood splattered, and it was decapitated, its body falling to the ground.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

Sasuke withdrew his right hand from the kunai, panting heavily. He turned off his Sharingan, lay down on the grass, and pounded the ground hard with his fists.

"Uchiha Itachi!!!"

Sasuke gritted his teeth, his eyes wide with rage, and slammed the grass in front of him down as if it were Itachi's face.

After smashing it, he pulled out a kunai from his ninja tool bag and stabbed it hard into the grass.

The grass rolled and dirt flew everywhere.

I'm exhausted from all this fuss.

Young Sasuke lay panting on the grass, staring at the gray sky, releasing the kunai from his hand, his face blank as he drifted into memories.

The night the clan was wiped out.

He was knocked unconscious by his mother. After that, a familiar figure appeared, woke him up, and helped him sit down against the wall.

Sasuke had met that person a few times at the police department.

His name is Uchiha Yinyue!

Long ago, when Sasuke met him, under the guidance of his mother Mikoto, he respectfully addressed the police chief, Yinyue, as Uncle Yinyue.

That night, Yin Yue appeared and, through illusion, allowed him to witness firsthand how Uchiha Itachi turned his sword against his clansmen and even against his parents.

That was around that time.

Sasuke awakens his Sharingan.

He also knew that it was Yin Yue who had intervened, controlling his mother's body to save her.

otherwise……

Sasuke's face contorted again, his jaw clenched so tightly that his gums bled, and his fists clenched.

Otherwise, his mother would have died at the hands of that devil Itachi that very night!

Thinking of this.

Sasuke punched the grass hard again.

after that.

Sasuke begged Yinyue to take him and his mother away with him, but Yinyue only left him with one sentence:

"Don't worry about your mother. What you need to do now is survive. When the time is right, I will come back for you."

After saying that, Yin Yue left the clan's territory and headed to the outskirts. Before leaving, he used an illusion technique to make Sasuke faint again.

In the past few days, Sasuke has also figured out the changing sentiment within the ninja village regarding the "Uchiha clan massacre".

Sasuke now felt that the so-called Konoha Village was filthy, foul-smelling, and utterly dark!

Itachi, the true culprit who harmed his own clan, became a high-ranking member of Konoha's leadership, and was revered by the Third Hokage as a hero who attempted to save the Uchiha clan!

As a victim, Yin Yue, who preserved the Uchiha clan's lineage, was instead accused of annihilating civilians of her own clan and labeled an S-rank rogue ninja by Konoha!

How absurd, laughable, and tragic!

This was the magnanimity that Itachi used to talk about. He didn't even have the heart to sit down and talk with his clansmen. He just arbitrarily judged his clansmen and sentenced the commoners in the clansmen to death!

Disheartened, Sasuke dragged his weary body away from the grass and put away his kunai.

He needs to go back to have his wound bandaged.

Before Yinyue returns to reunite him with his mother, he must live a good life in Konoha, even if it means temporarily staying with Itachi!

Uchiha clan territory.

Itachi noticed that his surveillance crow had been killed by Sasuke. He raised an eyebrow, sighed, and left with his subordinates.

Arrived at the Hokage Building.

Walk through the corridor.

Itachi walked to the Hokage's office door, and before he could knock, he heard exclamations and commotion coming from inside.

He thought for a moment, then reached out and pushed open the door.

Itachi's pupils dilated as he witnessed the most astonishing scene of his life.

"Hiruzen, Hiruzen, open your eyes wide!"

"Monkey, hang in there!!"

The two Hokage advisors were flustered and looked panicked, lying on the ground.

And that old man who held power in Konoha for half his life, stood at the pinnacle of power in this world, and was known as the hero of ninja, was Hiruzen Sarutobi!

He lay flat on the cold ground, his eyes vacant and his face aged, as Xiaochun from the tsunami room performed emergency treatment on him.

Itachi's eyes trembled slightly as he approached the Hokage's desk and looked at the unfolded intelligence scroll.

Two waist cloths with the character "fire" were placed next to it.

The intelligence scroll recorded the news of Asuma's death in battle and the destruction of the Fire Temple.

……

……

PS: Let me explain.

The fact that Sasuke was awakened by the protagonist's shadow clone was foreshadowed. After being knocked unconscious by Mikoto, he was lying on the ground. When Itachi found Sasuke, Sasuke was leaning against the wall, and he was helped up by the shadow clone of the Moon Drinking.

However, after writing about the shadow clone saving Mikoto, it was deliberately omitted from the text that the shadow clone did this incident incidentally.

As for those who deserve to be eliminated, they will all be eliminated later; none of them will escape.

Read on with confidence!
