Naruto: I am Ninja World Ghost Story, who are you?

"I remember the third condition said we could leave the tribe's territory, but something terrible would happen if we left... Could that be the condition?"

[Rule 3: Do not leave the clan's territory or the area outside the clan's training grounds, or something terrible will happen.]

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice also made the three elders present think deeply.

“I think Sarutobi is right. The team that was with us just now didn’t rejoin us, which means they’re dead. Now, the only ones left are probably just a few of us.” Koharu Utatane’s eyes swept over everyone present. After a careful count, besides her three old friends and her unconscious teacher, there were only two Jonin and four Chunin from Root left.

Moreover, it seems that Ryoma Aburame is injured.

"Let me take the Roots out; maybe nothing will happen."

"No way! Sarutobi's chakra is almost depleted. How can the three of us possibly handle the masked man and Itachi?" Koharu Utatane immediately objected.

"Then what do you want?" Danzo asked expressionlessly.

"Leave behind one Jonin and two Chunin."

"Alright." Danzo was also decisive. Rather than facing the combined forces of two Uchiha here, it would be better to go outside and look for a glimmer of hope.

Meanwhile, the masked man and Itachi Uchiha were searching the rooms but couldn't find the rest of the 'Uchiha' group. Finally, the masked man couldn't help but say, "They didn't go to your house, did they?"

"What?!" Itachi Uchiha exclaimed in shock. "What are you waiting for! Get to my house right now!"

The two spent about ten minutes searching, and Danzo and the Root team did not dare to move openly. They all withdrew their chakra and slowly made their way towards the gate of the clan's territory on the commercial street.

That is, the entrance they came in through earlier.

"It's finally out."

Danzo took a deep breath and stepped out of the clan's territory with one foot. He encountered no obstacles and moved very smoothly.

"Shikaku! Kakashi!"

Danzo called out to the dark forest outside, but there was no response.

"Strange. Did they go back first, Ryoma?"

Upon hearing the sound, Ryoma Aburame, enduring the pain from the knife wound on his back, manipulated the black parasitic insects on his body to begin searching.

A minute later, the result that Aburame Ryoma received left him somewhat astonished: "Lord Danzo, there is no chakra fluctuation ahead, which means that we may not be in our original world."

"What!" Danzo's tone was shocked. Although he had suspected that the parasitic insects that Aburame Ryoma had placed outside the clan had lost contact, Aburame Ryoma's words now completely confirmed the fact.

"It seems we can only rely on ourselves."

“We’re going to the village… oh no, we’re heading southwest, but not close to the village.”

Danzo suddenly remembered a rule.

Rule Four: Do not trust the village's ninjas. If you encounter them, kill them.

According to the rules, going to the village would be suicide.

They are now the 'Uchiha'.

Chapter 18 Horror Emerges

The world of the surface.

The appearance of Danzo, Ryoma Aburame, and others on the streets of the clan caused the ninjas outside to shout.

"Elder Danzo! Over here!"

"Elder Danzo, how are you doing inside?"

"It doesn't look good! Ryoma Aburame's back looks like it's wrapped in bandages."

Just when everyone thought it was finally over, Shikaku noticed something was wrong, because the invisible wall of air hadn't disappeared.

"wrong!"

"The game isn't over yet."

No sooner had Shikaku finished speaking than Danzo and his group passed through their bodies and appeared behind them, taking a series of actions.

Upon learning that there was no support, Danzo uttered those words.

"It seems we can only rely on ourselves."

“We’re going to the village… oh no, we’re heading southwest, but not close to the village.”

"One of the rules states that all the village ninjas are enemies, and since we are also 'Uchiha,' we should stay as far away from the village as possible."

"Understood!" Aburame Ryoma and the remaining two Chunin surrounded Danzo and began to leave in the southwest direction, getting as far away from the village as possible.

Meanwhile, the village had patrolling ninjas, so they didn't dare to make any big movements. Every time they moved a certain distance, they would check their surroundings for any traps set up by the village.

Shikaku and his group followed. According to Shikaku's guess, the current 'death game' was to let the Third Hokage, the Second Hokage, and others experience the Uchiha clan massacre.

At this time, the incident involving Itachi Uchiha occurred within the clan, but there must have been others assisting him, otherwise Itachi alone would not have been able to defeat so many ninjas.

"Shikaku! Look!" Yamanaka Inoichi pointed in a direction where a Konoha squad was on patrol.

"Sigh~ When will we be able to become powerful ninjas and do those awesome S-rank missions?"

"Keep dreaming, Kazuya. Our job of guarding the village is pretty easy."

"You can't say that. Kazuya does have dreams too."

"I'd like to go back to the village gate and continue guarding it."

"I think, Yoshihiro, that being a goalkeeper is such an easy job. You can be all smiles when it's your turn."

Upon hearing the conversation of the four-person team, Shikaku, Inoichi, and the other ninjas couldn't help but twitch their expressions.

How can it be so real?

"Wait a minute!"

At that moment, a black-furred ninja dog on a Chunin's body let out a soft whimper, causing the Chunin to stop in his tracks, and the team present also began to be on alert of their surroundings.

"Something's wrong."

"I think I can smell a ninja in my black pill."

"It's the Uchiha clan!"

"Come out!"

The Chunin Inuzuka held the oil lamp in his right hand and aimed it at the dark forest, making the forest brighter and the visibility clearer.

"Lord Danzo... is from the Inuzuka family." Ryoma Aburame felt like his world had collapsed when he saw the ninja dog.

"I'm not blind," Danzo said, panting. He usually looked down on these Chunin, but now they were 'Uchiha,' so who knew...

Wait a minute!

"wrong."

"The village's ninjas knew nothing about the Uchiha clan. Only the Anbu and Root received orders. It seems I was almost fooled by the rules."

Therefore, Danzo decided to take a gamble and reveal himself from the jungle.

Upon seeing the Uchiha clan uniforms worn by Danzo and his group, the patrol team breathed a sigh of relief.

"You scared me to death! I thought it was the enemy. What are you Uchiha doing out of the village in the middle of the night?"

"Old man...we have a mission to take care of, and we don't need to report this to you, do we?"

"Tch, the Uchiha are indeed the Uchiha." Inuzuka Chunin didn't care and was about to let them pass when a loud rumble came from behind him, making his body stiffen instantly. He turned his head expressionlessly to look in the direction of the village.

"Roar--"

"Nine-Tails?!"

Danzo and others: ? ? ?

Shikaku and the others: ? ? ?

How could something like this happen on the night of the massacre?!

Within the clan.

Not long after Danzo left, Obito Uchiha and Itachi arrived at the clan head's residence.

"It's them! They really found my house!" Itachi Uchiha gritted his teeth, his heart filled with worry for Sasuke's safety.

"Don't worry, if they catch Sasuke, they'll probably use him to blackmail you instead of standing guard in the courtyard." Obito Uchiha looked at the remaining one normal Jonin, three elderly Jonin, and two Chunin from his clan with a hint of disdain.

"That old bastard Hiruzen seems to have beaten you pretty badly," Obito Uchiha said, pointing to one of the 'elderly Jonin' of the clan.

Uchiha Itachi shook his head, his tone somewhat praising: "Although he is old, he must be quite capable to be my father's right-hand man."

“Stronger than you?” Obito Uchiha provoked.

Itachi Uchiha shook his head again: "No! The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan is the strongest. He only managed to hold his own against me by relying on his extensive combat experience and summoning techniques."

"Looks like he's got some skill." Obito Uchiha also praised him, after all, the fact that someone without Sharingan could contend with a ninja with Mangekyou Sharingan meant that the other party was strong.

"Let's go, it's time to end this battle."

At the same time, Danzo left his clan's territory.

"Your father should still be at home, so there's no need to worry about Sasuke's safety."

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha nodded: "My father is the final enemy of this mission, and also the most troublesome opponent."

The courtyard within the clan.

Since the second-generation teacher remained unconscious, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado happened to find a basement in a certain location in the mansion. After discussing it, they decided to temporarily place the powerless Tobirama Senju inside.

“They’re here,” said the Jonin from Root.

"Damn it! It only delayed us for a dozen minutes? There are still almost fifteen minutes left!" Mitokado Homura was frantic. There were still more than ten minutes left, and he didn't know how to deal with two Kage-level beings.

"I wonder how Danzo is doing." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed softly.

Tread.

Obito Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha landed at the same time and looked at the group of 'Uchiha ninjas'.

"Wait, it seems you're missing one... no, more than one. Are you planning to let your clansmen escape?" Obito Uchiha's tone was somewhat disdainful.

The Uchiha clan is now doomed. Even if they are lucky enough to escape, Danzo's men are on their way. He killed all the Uchiha clan members who were guarding the shrine by himself and left a White Zetsu to guard it. There is no way that the Uchiha clan will have a chance to escape.

"Give up the resistance." Itachi Uchiha drew his short sword, his Mangekyou Sharingan icy cold.

"We've never fought one, so who knows? We haven't exercised these old bones of ours in ages, Xiaochun."

"Menyan..." Koharu sighed softly, forming hand seals as she said, "Then let's fight!"

"Water escape·Water chaos!"

After taking a deep breath, Koharu Utatane shot out a stream of water from her lips, covering an area the size of a small pool, and attacked the courtyard wall where Obito and Itachi Uchiha were standing.

The two of them used the Instantaneous Movement Technique in an instant and left.

boom!

The two were separated; Itachi retreated to the left, and Obito retreated to the right.

But when Itachi landed, a shadow controlled him.

"The shadow imitation technique was a success!"

The Nara Chunin from Root formed hand seals, his shadow merging with the shadow of Uchiha Itachi, who had fallen to the ground.

'It might not be enough to deal with that space-time Uchiha, but it should be fine for you~'

While the Nara Chunin was praising himself for controlling the situation, another Root Chunin gripped his short sword and charged towards Uchiha Itachi.

"Go to hell!"

Uchiha Itachi sighed slightly, then unleashed his chakra to interrupt Nara Chunin's control. The moment he turned his head, he met the gaze of the Root Chunin who was standing in front of him.

"Genjutsu·Sharingan!"

The Root Chunin froze for a moment, and the next second a white light flashed by, his blood shimmering in the red moonlight.

Nara's legs trembled; he knew he had failed again. "I'm doomed..."

Uchiha Itachi accelerated toward the Nara Chunin. Just then, at a crucial moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen used a kunai to clash with Uchiha Itachi's short sword. Uchiha Itachi was stunned for a moment and exerted a little force, but his strength in holding the sword was obviously not as good as Sarutobi Hiruzen's. Sarutobi Hiruzen exerted a sudden force, causing Uchiha Itachi's short sword to be lifted up.

Although Itachi Uchiha still held the short sword in his hand, Hiruzen Sarutobi seized the opportunity and kicked Itachi Uchiha away.
