Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Chapter 64 The Dead Wife

Dark clouds rolled in.

The rain poured down like pillars.

A fierce wind swept through the Valley of Sanctions, felling trees outside the valley and filling the air with the smell of earth mixed with rain.

"Powdered medicine...aid..."

Yin Yue pondered for a moment, then glanced at the list of side quests that popped up in her mind, and sighed, "The unreliable quests may be late, but they've arrived."

However, since the green medicine's mission is linked to treatment, it's safe to assume that it's most likely a treatment drug.

Powdered medicine...

Neither the name of the drug nor the content of the aid mission could reveal its effects.

However, Yin Yue still had some expectations for it. After all, the items given by the missions always had some special effects, and the ninja tool bag given by the previous side mission also had a unique effect.

Valley of Sanctions Cliffs.

Has the situation changed?

Tsunade gazed towards the direction of the woods on the hillside and vaguely saw that ever since that tiny figure appeared at the edge of the woods, it had caused chaos in the Uchiha group, forcing them to turn back.

"..."

Jiraiya narrowed his eyes, thinking that whoever it was, as long as it could buy time for Hyuga Hiashi, that would be enough.

"The person who came is Uchiha Itachi. You may not know this, but on the night of the Uchiha massacre, he joined forces with a mysterious person to personally and brutally slaughter the Uchiha civilians and ninjas."

Orochimaru spoke casually, his golden vertical pupils, surrounded by purple eyeshadow, glancing sideways at the two with great interest as he observed their expressions.

He would be happy to share the truth about the night of the massacre with his two old friends and see their reaction.

Tsunade and Jiraiya's pupils dilated, their faces showing surprise as they looked at Orochimaru.

The culprit who wiped out the Uchiha clan was actually Itachi Uchiha?

This information does not match the information they obtained through their intelligence network.

Tsunade's phoenix eyes gradually turned cold as she questioned:

"Wasn't it Yin Yue who joined forces with outsiders to wipe out the Uchiha?"

Jiraiya frowned and added, "But after the Uchiha clan was massacred, Yin Yue did indeed control nine Uchiha members and Uchiha Mikoto as hostages to deal with Itachi..."

"No," Orochimaru interrupted Jiraiya with a smile.

A smile played on his lips; he was quite pleased with the two men's reaction and patiently explained:

"You have misunderstood Lord Yinyue."

Upon closer inspection, those Uchiha, including Uchiha Mikoto, showed no signs of being manipulated from the very beginning.

They voluntarily followed Lord Yinyue in his defection.

"Also, Tsunade, Jiraiya, all the information you two gathered about the Uchiha clan massacre was what Konoha wanted you to see. The truth is far more exciting than you imagine."

After saying that, Orochimaru stopped talking and quietly waited for an opportunity.

Jiraiya and Tsunade's expressions gradually turned serious as they fell into deep thought. Clearly, as the Anbu member who was closest to the Hokage and the Konoha leadership, Itachi was more likely to have carried out the massacre of the clan with the tacit approval of the Konoha leadership.

Itachi has now been portrayed by Konoha as a hero who prevented the Uchiha clan from being wiped out.

Tsunade found this extremely disturbing.

Jiraiya stood stiffly, head bowed in thought, not believing Orochimaru's words.

hillside.

The trees in the forest area previously manipulated by Wood Release have been mutated and lost their original appearance.

The tree trunk twisted and turned, its crown bared its claws, and its tendrils transformed into vines, spreading across the ground like a swarm of snakes.

The entire tree world is like a forest tree spirit that has come to life and then quickly died.

Forest boundary.

Itachi stared directly at his mother, who was about to commit suicide, while keeping an eye on Yinyue's location out of the corner of his eye.

"Promise me... Itachi... besides taking care of Sasuke... please spare these clansmen. This is the last thing I want you to promise me."

Mikoto felt utterly hopeless. She closed her eyes and, without any hesitation, thrust the kunai in her hand towards her abdomen.

Swah——

There was no way to escape.

Throughout the journey, Mikoto searched for a suitable opportunity to die for these people as atonement.

Now that she finally had this opportunity, Mikoto thought about how she could be freed from this hell on earth, and a slight smile appeared on her lips as she bravely faced death.

Itachi slowly closed his eyes.

"lady……"

The Uchiha's pupils widened as they stared at Mikoto, who was willing to sacrifice her own life to make Itachi stop.

Nanfeng thought of how much Yinyue valued Meiqin.

He wanted to stop it, but he was too weak to move.

Tamao, who was standing to the side, also became anxious.

They didn't expect that.

Mikoto is so fierce!

Uchiha Izumi gasped, staggered to her feet, and dragged her weary body toward Mikoto.

Even Nono admired Mikoto's actions.

The ninjas nearby, who were being controlled, saw this scene. Although they didn't know what was happening, they were just happy that this suddenly appearing man could delay Yin Yue from attacking them.

Seeing that there was no movement around.

Itachi slowly opened his eyes, ignoring his mother kneeling in the mud, and walked toward the Uchiha with his sword in hand.

Clearly, even if Mikoto were to die, Itachi had no intention of letting the weakened Uchiha go.

"Damn it!!" A Uchiha man gripped his katana tightly, glaring angrily at Itachi, who was still walking towards them.

Uchiha Izumi came to Mikoto's side, knelt down beside her, closed her eyes, and she had already received her answer.

Even if the Uchiha clan is wiped out and the defector group has fled Konoha, this man still wants to slaughter every last Uchiha in the ninja world for the sake of Konoha.

No… listen to what Mikoto said, he wants to kill the entire clan, leaving only him and his brother.

Is this the man's sense of righteousness?

And Mikoto's death.

This allowed the Uchiha clan to see Itachi's true colors.

"Feel sorry……"

Itachi was only five meters away from the Uchiha clan. When he reached Izumi and Mikoto, he suddenly froze on the spot.

Previously, in full view of everyone, Mikoto raised her kunai and stabbed it into her abdomen.

Half a minute has passed, but she shows no signs of pain, no blood is flowing, and she shows no signs of collapsing.

"..."

Mikoto Uchiha's brows slowly relaxed, and she felt no pain in her abdomen, gradually regaining her composure from her tragic emotions.

She looked surprised, clenching her hands tightly around the kunai, but felt nothing in them.

Mikoto slowly opened her eyes and looked down at her abdomen, only to be shocked to find that the kunai that Yinyue had given her earlier... was gone?

How could it just disappear without a trace?!

Izumi also noticed Mikoto's unusual behavior and looked over. Seeing that Mikoto's hands were empty, she was also at a loss.

"this……"

Mikoto was completely stunned and at a loss, kneeling in the mud.

Letting the rain wash over her knees and thighs, she couldn't understand how the kunai had disappeared.

"?"

The ninjas around her, who were being manipulated, were all puzzled when they saw the woman act as if nothing had happened after committing suicide.

This is death after all.

Still not dead?

The Uchiha were stunned.

"Could it be that the clan chief's wife... didn't want the atmosphere to be too heavy, so she deliberately staged a fake suicide to lighten the mood?"

Tamao's eyes darted around, and he raised his hand to touch his chin, pretending to be deep in thought.

The Uchiha clan members: "..."

Mikoto panicked and looked around frantically. Finally, she turned back, her cold and beautiful face showing a hint of anger, and looked at Yinyue, who had just reached the edge of the forest.

"How embarrassing!"

Nonoyu scratched the sole of her shoe with her toes.

Looking at Mikoto, who had been building up her emotions for so long and then chose to commit suicide in front of everyone, but failed to die, she felt that this scene was familiar.

"..."

Itachi's eyes flashed with killing intent, intending to quickly eliminate these Uchiha in front of him.

He was also surprised and puzzled by Mikoto's comical behavior.

A moment later, Itachi recalled the shock his mother felt when she was struck by Yin Yue's Mangekyou Sharingan and fled to the clan's territory.

Regardless of what just happened.

It must have been Yin Yue who used tricks.

On the hillside, at the edge of the forest, Yin Yue put the kunai back into his ninja tool bag, preventing Mikoto from committing suicide. However, what puzzled him was that this did not complete the mission.
