"Uchiha Itsuki..."
"Shh!"
A Root ninja had just started to speak when Itsuki interrupted him.
He gently made a silencing gesture and said with a smile, "Dead men shouldn't talk too much. Goodbye."
As soon as he finished speaking, two Root ninjas groaned, clutching their necks and convulsing. Soon, they collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Only blood continued to seep from the masks on their faces.
"Genjutsu!"
The Root ninjas were startled and began to attack.
At the same time, they couldn't hide the shock in their eyes.
When did Uchiha Itsuki use genjutsu?
They had detailed information on Uchiha Itsuki and knew he was a dangerous person, so they kept a close eye on him. They didn't even see him move, let alone make hand seals!
"Are you surprised?" Itsuki still had a smile on his face. "You know what? You've all fallen into a misunderstanding, or rather, everyone has developed a misconception that the Uchiha's eyes are everything to them!"
"Now let me tell you, you're wrong, dead wrong!"
"Every Uchiha can use ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu."
"The requirements to become a genjutsu ninja are very high, and there aren't many in the entire Konoha. But in front of the Uchiha, there's no threshold at all. This is the Uchiha's talent!"
Itsuki clenched his wrists, his voice gradually rising, his expression full of pride.
The Uchiha clan had many madmen.
But!
This didn't prevent the Uchiha from being a great ninja clan.
They were powerful!
They were emotional!
They often produced ninjas who shook the ninja world.
Sometimes, Itsuki wondered, if the Uchiha really had a Hokage, couldn't they make Konoha stronger?
Could it be worse than what Hiruzen Sarutobi had done?
Look at what Hiruzen Sarutobi had done.
The Sannin left.
White Fang was forced to death!
Hiashi Hyuga was also a skilled Jonin and the head of the Hyuga Branch Family, a person of considerable status.
There were also Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. Itsuki suspected that their deaths were related to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
And that wasn't all.
In the original story, Shisui died, and Itachi defected.
The entire Uchiha clan, the largest clan, was wiped out.
Konoha's middle and young generations were almost wiped out.
So many Kage-level ninjas left the world in regrettable ways.
As a result, Hiruzen Sarutobi's throne was secure.
He experienced the joy of having no successor!
The Sarutobi clan gained three thousand Sarutobi troops!
Dare I ask, is there a worse Hokage than him?
Hiruzen Sarutobi once said that Itachi Uchiha had the mind of a Hokage at the age of seven and could consider problems from the Hokage's perspective.
But would he let Itachi Uchiha become Hokage?
Would the Konoha higher-ups?
No!
To put it bluntly, it was just arrogance and prejudice, mixed with countless conflicts of interest.
In the original story, the Uchiha were massacred.
This was the result of a combination of various factors.
The two traitors, Itachi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha, not only personally took action but also exposed the distribution of all Uchiha personnel, including ninjas.
They also destroyed the Uchiha's barrier!
This led to the Uchiha being completely defenseless against the outside world.
The Anbu and Root took action!
And!
The non-resistance of that bastard Fugaku Uchiha!
Perhaps, there was one more point: the Uchiha ninjas didn't expect Itachi Uchiha to do such a crazy thing, and he succeeded in his sneak attack.
So many conditions were indispensable!
Now, Itsuki came to this world and became an Uchiha.
Want to wipe out my clan? Dream on!
The worst outcome would be mutual destruction!
Sacrifice myself for Konoha?
I'll make you eat your own shit before I let that happen.
"The Uchiha's favorite way to use genjutsu is with the Sharingan!"
Itsuki stared at the Root ninjas and said with a grin, "That's just because it's convenient and habitual. It doesn't mean they can't use genjutsu in other ways."
"Like me!"
Itsuki spread his arms and laughed. "I, who have lost my eyes, can use sound to cast genjutsu. How are you going to defend against that?"
"Uchiha Itsuki, you dare to attack us... Ugh!"
A Root ninja was sternly reprimanding him when Itsuki suddenly appeared beside him, his slender fingers gently brushing the ninja's neck.
The ninja's voice abruptly stopped.
His head slid off his neck.
The cut was clean.
After a while, blood spurted out.
Itsuki turned his head again and smiled. "My Shunshin isn't worse than Shisui's, right?"
"To tell you the truth, I'm really strong, really excellent."
"I've reached the Kage level in all aspects."
As he said this, Itsuki kept staring at the attribute panel given to him by the system.
The data on it made him extremely satisfied.
"Kill!"
The Root ninjas roared, throwing shuriken and kunai at Itsuki.
Several other ninjas silently approached Itsuki.
"Fire Style!"
A Root ninja didn't hesitate to use his most proficient Fire Style jutsu, not caring that this was a hospital ward.
"Fire Style!"
Itsuki only made one hand seal and completed the jutsu.
"Great Fireball Technique!"
A giant fireball with a diameter of over twenty meters erupted, colliding with the Root ninja's Fire Style and pushing it back.
"No!"
Facing death, the Root ninja let out a scream and was then devoured by the flames.
The giant fireball rushed out of the ward and crashed into a barrier.
Instantly, the barrier was filled with cracks.
Several muffled groans could be faintly heard in the air.
"Tsk tsk, you're actually afraid? As a Root ninja, you're unqualified!"
Itsuki shook his head with a smile and glanced at the barrier again. "That's right. I was wondering why no one came when we were fighting here."
"Genjutsu plus a barrier, hmm, there must be other reasons blocking others. But it doesn't matter!"
"I feel like you Root guys coming... is pretty good!"
"It feels great to kill you!"
Itsuki grinned.
His smile was bright and full of sunshine.
Without moving his feet, he slightly twisted his body and avoided all the kunai and shuriken.
"Buzz!"
A shadow suddenly stretched out and stuck to Itsuki's shadow.
"Success!"
A Root ninja cried out in delight.
Itsuki was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "Shadow Possession Jutsu, or Shadow Imitation Jutsu. Tsk tsk, the Nara clan, Root truly has a wide range of talents, even including the Ino-Shika-Cho trio."
"Die!"
Itsuki's laughter further enraged the Root ninjas.
He made them feel like he was playing with them!
They roared and attacked again.
The smile on Itsuki's face didn't diminish. His body shook, and the two shadows that were stuck together actually separated.
Just like that, he easily broke the Shadow Possession Jutsu.
"How is that possible?"
The Root ninjas were stunned. They turned to look, and the Nara clan ninja was already kneeling on one knee, gasping for air.
Although he was wearing a mask and his face couldn't be seen, his fear could be felt.
It was as if a small beast had encountered a monster!
A natural enemy!
Unstoppable!
