Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

At that moment, Obito Uchiha also stabbed Itachi Uchiha in the chest with a kunai.

But just as he was about to regain his physical form, his expression suddenly changed.

"Amaterasu!"

In an instant, a ball of pitch-black flame suddenly rose up from the thick tree trunk behind Obito Uchiha without warning!

The scorching heat distorted the air, and rainwater evaporated instantly upon contact with the flames, having no effect whatsoever on them.

Itachi Uchiha's Amaterasu passed through Obito Uchiha's body.

Uchiha Itachi quickly jumped back a few steps, creating distance between himself and the other party, and stopped attacking.

He had originally intended to take advantage of the situation to trade blows and launch a sneak attack, but unexpectedly, the other party reacted to his attack.

From this perspective, the opponent's pupil technique is not only able to blur for a moment, but can maintain this blurry state for a period of time.

Obito Uchiha was now drenched in sweat.

The sweat was mixed with the rain, so it was not noticeable.

He didn't expect that Itachi Uchiha would discover Kamui's weakness so quickly.

If he hadn't noticed the change in Itachi's eyes the instant he attacked, he wouldn't have been able to dispel the Hollowfication state.

Otherwise, he would be burned, and Amaterasu's flames would be quite troublesome for him.

I never imagined that one of Itachi Uchiha's eye techniques would be such a troublesome ability; I wonder what the other one is...

I almost got tricked instead of showing off.

Obito Uchiha is now somewhat hesitant to revert to his intangible state.

"Uchiha Itachi, your abilities are even better than I imagined, but you still haven't satisfied me."

Obito Uchiha maintained his arrogance.

Itachi Uchiha wiped away the blood mixed with rainwater from the corner of his eye, but made no further move, as the rainwater continued to flow through Obito Uchiha's body.

He was wondering if he should wait until the other party was freed from the intangible state before giving them another month to read.

He already knew that the other party was definitely not an old monster like Madara Uchiha.

But then he remembered the plan Bai Yunqingye had mentioned, and he stopped thinking about it.

The other party possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan and contacted him at this particular time, so they must have some kind of plan.

Perhaps, this is an opportunity.

"Tell me, what brings you here today?"

Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief, but his tone remained calm.

"Uchiha Itachi, in your eyes, which is more important: Konoha, the Uchiha clan, or your younger brother?"

"What do you mean?" Itachi Uchiha looked indifferently at Obito Uchiha, who seemed ready to speak eloquently.

"I can already see your future."

……

Chapter 84 The First Day of School

……

"This is impossible!"

Uchiha Itachi clenched his fists, his expression furious.

"Heh, this is reality, Uchiha Itachi, this is the reality of the ninja world."

Obito Uchiha's voice was full of mockery and ridicule: "Ninjas will kill their friends for missions, high-ranking officials will frame heroes for their own benefit, and you will kill your clansmen for the sake of the village."

"I won't let the village and my clan come to this!" Itachi Uchiha clenched his fists.

"It's not up to you, Itachi Uchiha. You must choose between the village and your clan."

Seeing this, Obito Uchiha did not show any anger; he simply came over to guide the other party.

The remaining tasks will be completed by someone else.

He doesn't plan to stay any longer.

A black vortex suddenly appeared, making Itachi Uchiha alert once again.

But Obito Uchiha's body had already begun to slowly disappear before his eyes.

"Uchiha Itachi, you are not desperate enough yet. When you are truly at your wit's end, I will reappear and lend you a hand."

Obito Uchiha disappeared completely, while Itachi Uchiha's gaze became even more profound.

"Two minutes and forty-eight seconds!"

He silently counted the time in his mind; it was the duration of Obito Uchiha's intangible state.

However, this was done by the other party, so the actual shutdown time will probably be longer.

However, it probably won't be too long, maybe around twice as long.

He, who also possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, understands the limitations of these eyes.

The opportunity to become a hero is now before him, but he is still unsure of the village's attitude.

Especially with that guy Danzo Shimura, that guy will definitely not let his plan go smoothly...

But this is the only way!

On the path of the Uchiha clan to becoming heroes, someone must also bear the burden of darkness.

……

night.

The rain that had been falling for a day and a night finally stopped.

The Hokage Building was still brightly lit.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was working on various mission files at his desk.

Outside the window, a flock of crows flew by, but one of them managed to avoid everyone's sight and flew into the Hokage Building through the window.

"Itachi, what brings you here in this manner?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi put down the documents in his hand, his expression somewhat solemn.

There is a barrier around the Hokage Building, just like the barrier around Konoha. Anyone who crosses the barrier will be sensed by him.

Itachi Uchiha had already spotted the crow that Itachi had transformed into outside.

He couldn't understand why Itachi Uchiha hadn't come through the main entrance, and moreover, it seemed like it was a clone that had come...

The crow landed in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi and transformed into Itachi Uchiha kneeling on one knee.

"Lord Third Generation, a masked man came to see me today."

"The masked man?"

"He calls himself Uchiha Madara!"

When Hiruzen Sarutobi heard the name, he paused for a moment, his brows furrowing. "Is it him?"

"It's highly likely. He possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan and seems to have some means of monitoring Konoha, so this is the only way I can come here as quickly as possible to report."

Itachi Uchiha tried to exaggerate the severity of the situation in order to better persuade the other party to carry out his planned scheme.

"kaleidoscope……"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was more solemn than ever before; Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan had already startled him.

Now another one has arrived, and this time it's an enemy.

"Then what does he want with you?"

Itachi Uchiha's expression turned somewhat sad. "He seems to value me a lot. Yesterday, after what happened with Shisui, he wanted to see if I had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, but my eyes are still only at the three-tomoe stage..."

"Still water..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi also felt guilty because he had betrayed a child who trusted him.

But he wasn't in the mood to delve into that matter now; he suddenly thought of something else.

Kaleidoscope + mask, the keywords have been triggered.

"What kind of mask did Madara Uchiha wear?"

"It's an orange mask with black tiger stripes, but only one right eye is visible," Itachi Uchiha answered truthfully.

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi trembled violently, clenched his fists, and his expression uncontrollably turned ferocious.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's unusual behavior naturally caught Itachi Uchiha's attention. It was the first time Itachi had ever seen the usually kind and amiable Hiruzen Sarutobi display such an expression.

"Sandaime-sama?"

With a grim face, Hiruzen Sarutobi revealed the truth.

"On the night of the Nine-Tails, Minato told me before he died that the person behind the Nine-Tails was a man wearing a tiger-striped mask."

"what?!"

Uchiha Itachi hadn't expected this either, but after the initial shock came a pleasant surprise!

-

Time flies.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two months, no other unusual events have occurred in the village.

Or perhaps it has appeared, but most people are unaware of it.

Everything seemed to have returned to how it was before.

Today is also the first day of the Ninja Academy.
