Uchiha Itachi leaped onto a power pole, and with a few silent movements, he jumped into his house, cautiously checking if his father had left any traps.
However…
There were no traps at home.
Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto had changed into ordinary clothes, kneeling in the room with eyes seemingly devoid of any desire for life, sitting there like dying ashes, quietly awaiting the blade of their elder son.
"..."
Uchiha Itachi's body froze.
"I do not wish to fight my own son."
Uchiha Fugaku had no intention to resist, his voice even sounded a bit gentler than before: "Since you have already chosen their side, so be it…"
"Dad, Mom…"
"We understand, Itachi."
Uchiha Mikoto's voice was a bit stiff as she spoke, as if trying hard to suppress her emotions, not letting her voice betray anything unusual: "Take care of Sasuke…"
"..."
Uchiha Itachi painfully raised his ninja sword.
"Don't be afraid."
Uchiha Fugaku seemed to understand his son's intentions, gently urging his son to wield the blade: "Our suffering will end in just a moment."
"This is the path you've chosen."
"Even if our thoughts differ, I am still proud of you."
"Such a kind child..."
"Since it has come to this, do not hesitate."
"Sorry, I have more important matters…"
Uchiha Itachi painfully swung the ninja sword, spraying blood, as the kneeling Uchiha Fugaku and Mikoto fell over!
Tonight…
There are still ends to meet.
Many are still hidden in places like underground rooms, but I haven't found them yet. It's necessary to meet up with Uchiha Obito, use the power of the Three-tails and turn this clan land into wasteland!
In the sky.
The moon returned to normal, still so bright.
Yet, the sky seemed to turn red, as if stained with someone's blood.
Uchiha Sasuke stayed a while longer at school after classes, and on his way home, he saw blood and found his parents dead at home.
Then…
He also saw the brother who killed their parents.
Uchiha Itachi reached out, clamping his beloved younger brother by the neck, staring hard into Uchiha Sasuke's eyes!
"Tsukuyomi…"
Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan slowly turned into the Mangekyo Sharingan, plunging Uchiha Sasuke into the Tsukuyomi Genjutsu, displaying everything that happened tonight within the Tsukuyomi!
"This is…"
"My foolish little brother…"
Uchiha Itachi's gaze turned a shade of red as he looked into Uchiha Sasuke's eyes, his voice becoming sinister and ruthless: "Hate me… detest me… continue living in disgrace! When you possess the same eyes as I do, come find me for revenge!"
"Aaaah… Nii-san!"
Uchiha Sasuke held his head in disbelief!
This young boy only managed a few cries within the Tsukuyomi, completely overwhelmed by pain, instantly falling into unconsciousness.
"I need to use the power of the Three-tails."
Uchiha Itachi, with an unconscious Uchiha Sasuke, appeared on a high platform, looking at Uchiha Obito, who had long since finished the slaughter on the other side with the Konoha Police Force.
Tonight.
Actions took place at two locations simultaneously.
Uchiha Itachi was in charge of clearing the Uchiha clan land, while Uchiha Obito managed the clearing of the Konoha Police Force building, to ensure no one slipped through the cracks.
"The Three-tails, huh? Here you go."
Uchiha Obito stood on a high platform, observing Uchiha Itachi's appearance in front of him, a space-time vortex appearing in his Mangekyo Sharingan.
The silhouette of the Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura appeared before them.
"Why do you have Sasuke with you?"
Uchiha Obito seemed curious, pondering a possibility: "Oh? Is it to take him away from Konoha with you?"
"No."
"Just to avoid collateral damage."
Uchiha Itachi shook his head, placing Uchiha Sasuke down and squatting in front of the Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura: "We need to use the power of the Three-tails to clear the remaining people…"
Uchiha Itachi looked into Karatachi Yagura's eyes.
An enormous Tailed Beast suddenly appeared within the Uchiha clan land!
The moment the Tailed Beast emerged, it began gathering a Tailed Beast Ball, and the explosive light quickly turned the Uchiha clan land into ruins!
The explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball shook the heavens and the earth!
This scene immediately shocked everyone in Konoha!
Akihara Kagura sluggishly changed into his clothes, gently pushing the door open, grabbing a flustered ninja: "Hey, what's happening outside?"
"Lord Kagura!"
This ninja recognized Akihara Kagura's status and quickly reported: "The Three-tails suddenly appeared in the village, rampaging in the direction of the Uchiha clan land!"
Without waiting for him to finish reporting, members of the Dark Department immediately arrived to notify Akihara Kagura that the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered him to head to the Uchiha clan land to deal with the Three-tails immediately!
"I'll head there right away."
Akihara Kagura put on his ninja headband, leaping multiple times toward the direction of the Uchiha clan, the wind lightly stirring the band of the headband.
Within the Uchiha clan land.
Uchiha Itachi stood atop the Three-tails, controlling the gigantic turtle beast, intending to have the Three-tails gather another Tailed Beast Ball to continue the clearing of the Uchiha clan land!
A vine suddenly shot out!
This sturdy vine directly wrapped around the Three-tails' neck!
The Three-tails struggled desperately but couldn't break free!
"Akihara Kagura…"
Uchiha Itachi didn't need to think much to know who was coming, only Akihara Kagura in all of Konoha could use such powerful Wood Release!
"Amaterasu!"
Blood trickled from one eye socket of Uchiha Itachi!
With Uchiha Itachi's soft cry, a black flame suddenly appeared on the vine, quickly burning through it, freeing the Three-tails!
This was his Mangekyo Sharingan Dojutsu, Amaterasu!
Wherever his gaze fell, it would be released quickly, far beyond the reach of ordinary Jutsu, and unless controlled by the user, the Flame of Amaterasu would never extinguish!
"Wood Release: Woodman Jutsu!"
The vine didn't die, instead, it grew into a giant wooden figure, appearing before Uchiha Itachi!
"I need to ask…"
Akihara Kagura stood atop the wooden figure, gazing at the Uchiha clan land filled with ruins and corpses: "What on earth happened tonight?"
