76 Chapter 76
As Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito entered the clan, in the woods outside the Uchiha clan, numerous masked ninjas appeared.
They hid in the dark corners, their eyes sternly looking at the whole Uchiha territory.
Their numbers were great, their masks diverse, and they surrounded the Uchiha territory in various directions.
The leader among them made a gesture, and the next moment, a Root ninja quickly formed a seal. In just a moment, accompanied by a puff of smoke, the formation of the Spiritual Communication Barrier quietly appeared.
Meanwhile, at the Root headquarters, Danzo sat silently waiting in his place when a Root ninja quickly came to report to him.
"Lord Danzo, Uchiha Itachi has entered the Uchiha clan's territory. Please give your instructions."
Danzo gently nodded his head, then looked up towards the sky from his window. The moonlight was bright, but in his eyes, the moon seemed to be bathed in blood, as if foreshadowing the impending slaughter.
"Stay there, let Uchiha Itachi handle everything in the Uchiha clan's territory tonight.
However, if any Uchiha clansman escapes, show no mercy. In addition, do not lay a hand on Uchiha Sasuke.
Try as much as possible to keep him under control, in our hands."
"Yes!" The Root ninja in front of him whispered and then conveyed his orders.
The darkness of the Root headquarters returned to its usual silence, and a cold smile appeared on Danzo's face.
There were many ninjas mobilized tonight, and no matter how well Uchiha Itachi put it, the top brass of the Konoha wouldn't completely trust him.
These ninjas had to be there, and tonight, Danzo's power had reached unimaginable levels. They knew that the Uchiha clan was celebrating tonight.
They didn't know nor care what this celebration was, but to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, the Third Hokage even handed over his direct Anbu to Danzo to command for the night.
Even if Danzo had not mobilized the Anbu, at this moment, he truly controlled the Anbu. Even if it was just for tonight, it let him taste the power of the 'Hokage'.
As for the Third Hokage, he naturally stayed in his office working. Regarding the annihilation of the Uchiha, as the Hokage, he was "completely unaware" from start to finish.
However, he also instructed his close Anbu members to find Sasuke who, due to his adjustments, was still at school...
...
Upon stepping into the clan's territory, Uchiha Itachi glanced lightly to his left. He knew there should be three Uchiha ninjas hidden there. They were the first covert posts at the entrance.
Even if it was a celebration today, the Uchiha clan had a certain level of defense, even if this level of defense was not high.
"Hm?"
However, as Uchiha Itachi walked past, his eyebrows involuntarily furrowed.
Because he found that there was actually no one there!
"What's going on, did they change the covert posts, or did the people on guard tonight also go to the celebration?"
Uchiha Itachi had a somewhat unpleasant premonition. During this period, he had unconsciously not had much contact with the clan.
Besides the fact that the people in the clan ignored him completely, and his inquiries yielded no results, another point was that he unconsciously wanted to distance himself from the clan.
Having made the decision and resolved to go through with it, he didn't want to have too many emotional entanglements with this doomed clan.
He preferred to spend more time on his little brother because he knew his brother would surely survive.
"Forget it, no matter what you think or plan, today will be the end. I will protect the peace of the Konoha, and I will bear the sins of the Uchiha!"
Uchiha Itachi thought silently to himself, and then he sped towards the direction of the shrine. However, as he was going, he suddenly saw a person standing in front of him.
The appearance of this person couldn't help but furrow his brows, because this person was his father, Uchiha Fugaku!
"Itachi, you come back so late and dressed like this, may I ask if you know what you're doing?"
Uchiha Fugaku looked at his son. His expression was somewhat desolate and also a bit low, but at the same time, there seemed to be a hint of expectation in his eyes.
However, Uchiha Itachi's indifferent attitude and the words he spoke all made Uchiha Fugaku feel a chill in his heart.
"I know what I'm doing, of course. I am eradicating calamity, I am bringing peace to the village, I am saving everything, I am preserving the last dignity of the Uchiha!
On the other hand, Father, do you know what you are doing? Do you know what the outcome will be for you?"
Uchiha Fugaku silently looked at Uchiha Itachi. He had already learned from his wife about Itachi's abnormal behavior over the past month.
Unfortunately, he had not been able to see Itachi. But he had heard that Shisui had spoken with Itachi.
Although he didn't say what the clan would do, he did reveal the future direction of the clan.
Integrating into the Konoha, confronting unfair oppression, letting all the people of the Konoha hear their voices.
This is the information that Uchiha Fugaku immediately summarized after hearing Shisui's words. What they are confronting is not the Konoha, but those who oppress them, and that is the current Hokage.
The Hokage and the Konoha are one, but essentially they are separate. He really didn't know why his son had become like this.
"I think you've misunderstood something..."
Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Fugaku stared at Uchiha Itachi, his voice slightly dull as he began to speak, only to be interrupted just as he started.
"I'm not misunderstanding, I know what you're planning to do, you're trying to confront the Hokage, to confront this village!"
Under the silver moonlight, Uchiha Itachi seemed particularly resolute and stern, yet his words thoroughly disappointed Uchiha Fugaku.
"No need to say more, no matter what you're planning, I've already seen the future of our clan, seen your future."
"It seems that tonight's events won't have a good ending."
Uchiha Fugaku closed his eyes and spoke hoarsely, feeling both powerless and sad.
"Why do you think, that you alone can face the Uchiha?"
"I'm not alone," Uchiha Itachi said indifferently: "Even if I were alone, what I'm doing is a matter of justice, I think..."
As he spoke, Uchiha Itachi paused slightly, and the next moment, his crimson eyes had transformed into the state of Mangekyou Sharingan!
"With these eyes of mine, eyes like Shisui's, I can accomplish my mission!"
As his words fell, Uchiha Itachi had already assumed a combat stance, while Uchiha Fugaku deeply sighed.
It had to be said, he had received an utterly disappointing, even desperate response.
The Uchiha were on the verge of change, everything seemed to be on the right track, but his own son was about to destroy it all with his own hands!
Was it because he didn't provide enough care and guidance, or was it the influence of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others on his son that was too deep?
But regardless of which, none of this could absolve Uchiha Itachi of his sins.
Especially since he had now indirectly admitted to what he was about to do, Uchiha Fugaku really didn't believe anyone would let him off the hook!
Slowly opening his eyes, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes had already morphed into the state of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and these three tomoe were rapidly spinning.
But before Uchiha Fugaku could speak, a voice had already arrived from the distance.
This voice made Uchiha Fugaku sigh, and also caused Uchiha Itachi to furrow his brows.
"What did you just say about what you can do with those eyes of yours?"
