Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Chapter 4 The Runaway Mother

The residence of the Uchiha clan chief.

bedroom.

"Come in, there are no traps!"

Fugaku Uchiha and his wife Mikoto Uchiha knelt on the ground, their expressions indifferent. Their actions were a response to the pitiful cries of agony echoing through the clan's territory.

The bedroom door was pushed open.

Uchiha Itachi, covered in the blood of his clansmen, walked in. He wore a Konoha headband, gray ANBU armor, and carried a sharp ninja sword.

Sensing his son's hesitation, Fugaku Uchiha lowered his head in understanding and said, "I see... You should side with them."

"Dad, Mom...I..."

Itachi's eyes were red and he dared not look directly at his parents' backs.

"We understand, Itachi."

Mikoto said coldly.

"Itachi, promise me one last thing: I'm entrusting Sasuke to you." Fugaku Uchiha said calmly.

"I know..." Itachi's three-tomoe eyes welled with tears, and his hands gripping the sword trembled uncontrollably.

"Don't be afraid. This is your own decision. Compared to you, our pain is only momentary," Fugaku said firmly. "Even if we have different opinions, we are still proud of you."

Itachi's mirror-like blade rested steadily between Fugaku and his wife, its two sides reflecting their indifferent expressions.

Finally, Fugaku calmly said, "You are such a kind child."

Itachi's heart pounded, he clenched his teeth, and tears streamed down his face, falling onto his hands that gripped the sword.

Peace in Konoha! The ambitions of the clans! A situation with no way out! The oath of friendship!

So that there will be no more war in the ninja world!

Everything.

It transformed into black lines that bound his heart.

Suffocating to the point of near collapse, Itachi Uchiha pointed his sword at the black line closest to his heart, a line called "Clan Member".

It seems that all it takes is to cut it off.

He will then find peace.

I didn't think about it for long.

"I see."

Not long ago, Itachi Uchiha had already resolved to fall into hell. In the next moment, he fiercely slashed down the sharp ninja sword in his hand.

puff-

Blood splattered on the wooden floor, like a brushstroke of crimson on a canvas.

Fugaku collapsed instantly.

At that moment, Mikoto's body trembled slightly, her pupils glowed red, and a kaleidoscope of blade-like lights swirled in her eyes.

Just as Itachi's sword swung down again.

Suddenly, a kunai slid out from Uchiha Mikoto's sleeve. She gripped the handle, turned sharply, and used the kunai to block Itachi's ninja sword head-on.

Clang——

The kunai and the ninja sword clashed, producing a metallic clang and sparks.

Itachi frowned, paused, and looked up in astonishment at his mother with his three-tomoe Sharingan, exclaiming:

"kaleidoscope!"

Mikoto stared blankly, her mouth agape, a bewildered expression on her face, her body completely out of her control.

At this moment, her body seemed to have its own will and was telling her that it did not want to die here.

Without hesitation, Mikoto stepped back to create distance and crashed into the bedroom window.

bang——

The window shattered, and Mikoto ran into the darkness as fast as she could, disappearing without looking back.

"..."

Itachi looked at his father lying dead on the ground, then at his mother's back, his emotions fluctuating wildly and unable to form a coherent narrative.

What on earth happened?

Itachi, who was praised by Hiruzen Sarutobi for having the mindset of a Hokage, thought for a moment and immediately realized what was going on.

Is it because you can't let go of Sasuke?

My father is dead.

Did Mother unlock the kaleidoscope?

but.

Even if she were still alive, it wouldn't affect the current situation at all.

Itachi left the clan leader's mansion and returned to the main street. He looked around but didn't see anyone.

"If both my mother and father possessed kaleidoscopes, I would surely be the one who dies."

Itachi continued deeper into the clan's territory, lost in thought. Along the way, he glanced up in the direction of the Uchiha Police Department, where the sounds of battle had ceased.

He will probably need about fifteen more minutes.

……

……

Outside the Uchiha clan's territory, in the dark and gloomy forest, the sounds of light footsteps and rustling branches mingled together.

Several teams of three people each arrived one after another.

They wore blue and green patterned masks, gray and white suspender armor, had tattoos on their left arms, and carried ninja swords on their backs.

They were Danzo's confidants, and the independent organization they established under the name of the Dark Guard Training Department.

At this moment, these root tissue members, some standing and some crouching, are perched on the tree branches.

Each of them exuded a dark aura, like ferocious beasts that had long dwelled in the shadows.

despair--

The dull thud of the cane striking the ground came from behind. The root members under the tree turned around, then lowered their heads and stepped aside to make way.

An aged yet steady figure emerged step by step from the shadows.

He walked past his subordinates on the left and right and came to the front.

The dappled moonlight illuminated the old face covered with wrinkles and crisscrossing scars.

Danzo Shimura was leaning on a cane with his left hand, his right eye was covered by a white bandage wrapped around his head, and his right hand was wrapped in a black robe and placed in front of his chest.

He looked up and gazed into the depths of the forest.

His cloudy left eye narrowed slightly.

His shadow swallowed the moonlight behind him, as if the place where he was was a perpetual darkness.

"Shimura Danzo!!"

On the tree branch, Uchiha Nanfeng and others mingled among the Root organization members. When they saw the newcomers, their pupils constricted and their breathing faltered.

Did Yin Yue bring them here to cause trouble for Danzo?

Is this a suicide attempt?

This action was like a heavy blow to their hearts, immediately snapping the Uchiha clan out of their grief.

This is absolutely impossible.

The opponent is the Hokage's assistant!!

Even with the addition of Yin Yue, who possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, the few remaining Uchiha members could not possibly defeat their opponent while protected by over a hundred Root members.

Yin Yue has controlled nine of them, but there are hundreds of Root organization members nearby. Can he really control them all?

This is the sentiment of everyone in the Uchiha clan at this moment.

This is an operation that is absolutely impossible to complete!

Swah——

Two figures of Root members, who had instantly returned from the depths of the forest, knelt before Danzo, heads bowed, and respectfully said:

"Lord Danzo, the battle at the Uchiha clan's territory will be over soon."

Danzo raised his head, his left eye lowered, and sized up his two close subordinates, uttering in a deep voice, "Go, hurry up and collect the eyes."

"Yes... Lord Danzo!"

The Root member on the right suddenly looked up, his eye sockets beneath the mask glowing red, and three kaleidoscope-like beams of light subtly swirled in his right eye as he provocatively said:

"Excuse me, are you collecting these kinds of eyes?"

He slowly stood up and removed his mask.

Yin Yue's face appeared.

The red light emanating from his Mangekyou Sharingan contained Yin Release chakra energy. Through eye contact, it instantly pierced Danzo's wide-open left eye, only to encounter resistance from the familiar three-tomoe Sharingan.

In just a moment.

The power of the kaleidoscope's pupils crushed the weak stream of the three-tomoe jade pendant like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down.

On the tree, countless members heard the commotion and lowered their heads. Their eyes met the red light, and everyone froze on the spot, as if they had turned into stone statues.

The Uchiha were stunned.

Yin Yue truly succeeded, controlling everyone present in an instant.

This shows just how powerful Yin Yue's Kaleidoscope truly is!

"What happened?"

"Lord Danzo!"

"Enemy attack!!"

The members of the Root organization were unable to speak, standing still, inwardly shocked, but unable to move their bodies.

"How did an Uchiha end up here?" Danzo stood frozen in place, trying to escape, but his thoughts suddenly stalled. "I can't move my body."

Drinking the moon appeared unexpectedly.

How could Danzo possibly have guessed that while he was treating the entire Uchiha clan as prey, there was also a Uchiha clan that was treating him as prey?

In an instant.

The Root member on the left lunged at Danzo, his mask falling off in mid-air to reveal Tamao's baby face.

"You old bastard, take this!!"

puff--

He pressed himself against Danzo, and with a clean and swift motion, pierced Danzo's heart with the ninja sword in his hand.

Tamao was being controlled by Yinyue, but he was very happy because he had finally cut down the old thing he had always wanted to cut down!

At the same time.

Yin Yue reached out and gouged at Danzo's right eye, which was wrapped up with bandages. Her fingers were like eagle claws, precisely breaking through the bandages. With blood spurting out, she extracted a Sharingan.

That was none other than—Kotoamatsukami Kaleidoscope!

Hidden in the nearby trees, the Uchiha clan members stared at the red and white eyeball, their thoughts racing, and their anger was instantly ignited.

They figured out a lot of things.

Shisui's death was related to Danzo!

Fresh blood bloomed like flowers in Danzo's right eye socket and left chest at the same time, staining his bandages and clothes red.
