Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Chapter 63 Mikoto: Stop, Itachi!

On the other side of the cliff.

Tsunade glanced at Orochimaru as she watched the Hyuga clan ninjas retreating from the opposite cliff.

She asked curiously:

"Aren't you going to chase after them?"

Jiraiya was also curious about this.

He and Tsunade thought similarly: since Orochimaru was cooperating with Yin Yue, he was most likely responsible for dealing with the Konoha ninja outside the main battlefield.

At this moment, Hiashi Hyuga led his team to retreat, but Orochimaru remained unmoved, which puzzled the two of them.

"well……"

A resolute glint appeared in Jiraiya's eyes. He sighed inwardly and made a silent decision: he could ignore the cannon fodder below the cliff.

He couldn't stand idly by when Ke Yinyue attacked the head of the Hyuga clan.

The Hyuga clan is the core strength of Konoha.

Jiraiya couldn't bear to watch Hiashi die in such a meaningless battle.

If Orochimaru were to intervene and stop Hiashi's retreat, Jiraiya would also choose to deal with Orochimaru.

At this moment, even Shizune was looking at Orochimaru with curiosity.

"Hehehe." Orochimaru chuckled softly, then glanced at his old friend beside him and said slowly, "That's Yinyue-kun's business. I have more important things to do."

Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Shizune frowned, wondering what Orochimaru was up to.

"call--"

Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief, as he no longer had to face Orochimaru, but he immediately felt a headache coming on, because that meant he might have to face Yin Yue.

The main battlefield.

With the help of eight thousand spears and by borrowing the chakra of other ninjas, Yin Yue imprinted the eight thousand spears onto the bodies of ten thousand ninjas through visual transmission alone.

After finishing this task, Yin Yue's eyes felt sore and painful, with waves of stinging sensations. His own chakra had already been exhausted in the first wave of manipulation.

Imprinting seals on ten thousand ninjas, even with sufficient chakra, would place a huge burden on their eyes from frequent use of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Fortunately, he had painkillers.

Yin Yue flipped her wrist, took out a bottle of green medicine from her storage space, popped the cork with a soft "pop," and drank it down.

A cool sensation slid down my throat and into my body.

The medicinal effects dissipate.

The soreness and fatigue in my eyes disappeared instantly.

His physical condition.

Mental state.

Returning to peak condition.

Its strength has also been slightly enhanced.

The Eight Thousand Spears are far stronger than Yin Yue had imagined. The more ninjas it faces, the stronger it becomes, provided that its body can withstand the negative feedback from the overuse of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

If he could imprint the eight thousand spears onto everyone in the ninja world and their physical strength could keep up, Yin Yue thought, then he would stand tall in the heavens.

Collect your thoughts.

Yin Yue plans to leave all the ninjas sent by the Hyuga clan in the Valley of Sanctions, and no one can stop him.

Just then.

Yinyue noticed that the Uchiha people connected by the Eight Thousand Spears were extremely mentally unstable at the moment.

Their emotions were angry and agitated, as if ignited instantly by something.

Looking back, Yin Yue's eyes lit up. He had just been wondering who would stop him from attacking the Hyuga clan, and now someone had shown up.

In front of the chaotic tree world created by Wood Release.

With a cold expression, Itachi Uchiha stepped over the vines and appeared behind the weakened Uchiha group.

The cold rain fell on his face and slid down his tear troughs.

He wore a Konoha headband and ANBU grey-white armor, clearly retaining the Konoha ANBU attire from the night of the massacre.

"Uchiha Itachi!!!"

The Uchiha, supporting each other, stared wide-eyed, their faces contorted in rage. They weakly rose from the ground, gripping their katana tightly, and roared in fury.

"Itachi..."

Uchiha Izumi raised her hand to clutch her chest, which was throbbing with intense pain, and stared at the person who had appeared behind the trees.

"..."

Mikoto's pupils trembled violently. She bit her lip, pressed her hands against the muddy ground, and struggled to get up from the ground.

The scene she least wanted to see after she went into hiding ultimately unfolded in this way.

Mikoto's eyes reddened, tears mingling with the rain. The days she spent fleeing with her fellow clansmen made her realize just how absurd Fugaku and Itachi's decisions had been.

The Uchiha clan is not entirely composed of those plotting rebellion; there are kind-hearted individuals and those who simply want to survive.

Those who have no intention of rebelling should not have their life or death decided by one or two people who hold power and force, before they have made any substantial mistakes.

"Uchiha Itachi?"

Kimimaro leaned against a large tree beside him, stood up, and sized up the Konoha ANBU member who had walked to the edge of the forest.

He sensed a crisis.

Kimimaro had seen this person's information in the intelligence gathered by his master.

Nonou squinted, stretching her neck forward as much as possible. In her field of vision, at the edge of the forest, a dark shadow, like a wooden stake, was approaching.

She doesn't understand.

After all, none of the Uchiha comrades around him had ever been this angry, not even when faced with ten thousand ninjas.

pat-

Itachi's cold eyes swept over the Uchiha group, lingering on Izumi and Mikoto for a moment before passing through the forest and looking at Yinyue, who was carrying a black sword and slowly making her way back up the hillside.

The two are far apart.

Their eyes met calmly.

Clang—

Itachi's dark eyes suddenly flashed with the kaleidoscope pattern of three intersecting blades. Then, he drew his katana from behind his back, its cold gleam flashing in the downpour.

This was a contingency plan Itachi devised after discovering that Yin Yue had defected with his men on the night of the massacre of his clan.

He is not the original body.

It is a shadow clone.

Unfortunately, he couldn't catch up with Yin Yue and the others before arriving here. Fortunately, his appearance now can buy some time for the Hyuga clan to retreat.

"Stop... Itachi!!!"

Mikoto Uchiha staggered to the front of the enraged Uchiha group and pleaded.

Her eyes were filled with sorrow, and she held a kunai in her hand as she stood in front of the group of Uchiha.

"Give up, Madam Chief. If he had stopped, this tragedy wouldn't have happened."

Uchiha Nanfeng sighed.

Izumi stared at Itachi, wondering whether he would take action against her, his mother, and their clansmen who had escaped Konoha.

This time, she dared not choose the answer that her heart leaned towards, and chose to observe quietly.

In the group, Tamao huddled behind the others, his baby face pale and weak, silent, but clutching a kunai tightly in his hand, his black eyes fixed on Itachi's lower body.

Within the Uchiha group, some felt this was out of character for Tamao, since he should have started cursing at Itachi the first thing he did upon seeing him.

"Captain Tamao..."

"Shhh."

Tamao gestured for his people to be quiet, and he said cautiously:

"You're all going to be killed by this beast in a bit."

My older brother can't get back right now.

rest assured.

"While Itachi is attacking you, I'll stab him in the groin with a kunai from the front, as revenge for everyone!"

"?"

The Uchiha clansman's anger suddenly stalled.

In such a serious setting, how could you so earnestly come up with such an unreliable plan?

The edge of the woods.

Itachi glanced at Mikoto, a complex expression flashing in his eyes, then sighed and spoke in a deep voice:

"Mother, you shouldn't be alive."

As he spoke, Itachi drew his sword and walked step by step toward the clansmen that Mikoto and Sumtsuki had rescued.

Right now, these clansmen are all getting weaker and weaker.

Itachi chose this moment to strike because Yinyue had left their side, and their clansmen were powerless.

"Itachi!!"

Mikoto paled, pointed the sharp end of the kunai at her abdomen, gazed sadly at her eldest son, and pleaded:

"Itachi, we were all wrong! Stop! I'm willing to die, but please spare them!"

The Uchiha clan looked at the clan leader's wife, who had been cold and indifferent to them all along, with strange eyes, and felt a pang of sadness.

Itachi stopped and stared coldly at Mikoto, as if she were a stranger, waiting for her to make a decision.

Regardless of whether Mikoto commits suicide or not.

He never intended to spare his fellow clansmen, whether it was Izumi or the other Uchiha.

According to the original plan.

They shouldn't be alive.

Uchiha Yinyue thought that by capturing Izumi and controlling his mother, he could force him to release the Uchiha rogue squad...

Itachi felt that Yin Yue had underestimated his magnanimity.

On the hillside.

As Yin Yue walked towards the wild forest area created by Wood Release, a prompt suddenly popped up in her mind.

[Side Quest]: Assistance.

[Options]:

1. Prevent Uchiha Mikoto from committing suicide.

[Reward]: Powdered medicine.

PS:

I have read all the opinions about Jiraiya, and I thank you all for your guidance.

The plot will deal with him.

As for Uchiha Hikaru, he will dig it up later when he returns to Konoha to cause trouble.

Regarding Itachi, I'm sure you readers have read more Naruto fanfiction than I have, so I humbly request your help in brainstorming ideas for his ending.

My main problem right now is that Itachi handled things too quickly, which might make the plot less satisfying.

If the process is slow, some readers might find it tedious and annoying. I initially planned to deal with him when I was taking revenge on Konoha, but the most important thing is that everyone is satisfied. I hope you can give me some suggestions.

Let's take their advice!

We still need to listen to the right opinions, synthesize them, and then sort out the subsequent plot development.

As for the female characters, let's keep them for now and release them gradually once they're available. The most important thing is that our readers are happy with this fanfiction!

Finally, I'm begging for your votes!

Thank you for reading!
