It was already late at night when Obito and others returned to Uchiha Izumi's house. The sleepy Uchiha Izumi took off Kirito's Anbu clothes and heated up food for him.
"Izumi, how is the preparation of the Military Ration Pills I asked you to make going?" Kirito picked up the bowl and chopsticks and took a mouthful of rice.
"They're ready. It's enough for several months." Uchiha Izumi stood up and took out the Military Ration Pills that had been prepared earlier from the cabinet.
Kirito casually placed the Military Ration Pills into the system warehouse, closed his eyes, and released his perception. After confirming that there was no Anbu surveillance around, he said seriously, "Izumi, I guess you've also sensed something strange within the Uchiha clan recently."
Uchiha Izumi nodded. Even though she did not participate in the Uchiha clan's coup, the strange atmosphere within the clan was hard to miss.
Kirito continued, "The day after tomorrow's celebration, the Uchiha clan will launch a coup. The Konoha higher-ups have already noticed this. Danzo has given me a mission to kill all the Uchiha clan members tomorrow night. The Third Hokage has also acquiesced."
"How could this happen?" Uchiha Izumi's eyes suddenly went blank. She covered her mouth in horror, disbelief etched on her face.
"Don't worry, I won't do that." Kirito gently stroked Uchiha Izumi's forehead. "I'll take you away from Konoha tomorrow."
"But if you do that, you'll become a traitor. And you'll take my name down with you." Uchiha Izumi's eyes filled with tears, unable to stop them from falling.
"Don't worry, I'm strong enough. Go to bed early tonight, and when you wake up, everything will be settled." Kirito comforted her.
The next day, just after dawn, Kirito pressed the acupoints on Uchiha Izumi, who had yet to awaken, causing her to fall into a deeper sleep. Then, he placed her into the system warehouse.
[Ding, the system warehouse has detected a special bloodline and Sharingan. Would the host like to extract it?]
"Extract your sister."
Kirito cursed angrily, set up Kyoka Suigetsu, summoned a crow, and transformed it into the appearance of Izumi before leaving the courtyard.
He wasn't in a hurry to find Obito. Instead, he wandered through the streets. He casually bought some daily necessities and then took a look at Kurenai Yuhi, who was guiding Airi, Ponji, and others in their training. He noticed little Hinata working hard to practice her Gentle Fist, and Naruto, who was chasing after and competing with Kiba.
Finally, on a high building platform near the Ninja Academy, he met Uchiha Itachi, who was also observing Sasuke.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to Sasuke? After tonight, you two will become enemies." Kirito appeared on the roof behind Itachi, standing at the highest point of the building.
Itachi glanced at Kirito, his eyes showing no emotion at all.
Then, thinking about how both Kirito and Uchiha Izumi were also his targets, and realizing that Kirito knew Sasuke was his weakness, Itachi's expression turned cold.
The look he gave Kirito was as if he were looking at a dead man.
"Meet me at the entrance of the Uchiha clan territory at 7 o'clock tonight. Don't be late." After leaving these words, Uchiha Itachi disappeared from Kirito's sight.
Even though Itachi knew it was Danzo's conspiracy—either to use him to get rid of Kirito or use Kirito to get rid of him—he still had to act.
If he didn't kill Kirito, and Kirito learned that Uchiha Izumi had died by his hand, Kirito would undoubtedly target Sasuke. He couldn't allow that.
Kirito had to die.
Kirito smirked, released his Kyoka Suigetsu and followed. He knew that after leaving Danzo's residence last night, Itachi had met with Obito.
Now, he was going to join them to confirm the extermination of the clan tonight.
Kirito tracked Uchiha Itachi's chakra, following him to the forest behind the Uchiha clan's territory.
"We will act tonight. Kirito and I will wipe out all the residents in the Uchiha residential area. The Konoha Security Department is in your hands." Uchiha Itachi said to Obito.
"Okay, as agreed, I will lend you a hand." Obito crossed his arms and said calmly, "But Kirito is not a simple guy. Like you, he's noticed my presence but hasn't reported it to the Konoha higher-ups. Be careful."
"I see. Let's proceed as planned." Uchiha Itachi frowned, but replied. He turned to leave when Obito added, "Remember, I'm helping you with the Uchiha extermination not just for revenge but for other reasons. Just pretend you didn't see them."
"You don't want me to use the Sharingan to record your actions?" Uchiha Itachi turned back.
"That's right. This is also proof to give your brother a chance to live. I have no need for a child without the Sharingan." Obito said lightly.
"Don't worry about that." Uchiha Itachi replied, turning around to face Obito. "Now that it's come to this, I have no choice but to trust you."
"If you find yourself with no other option, consider joining my organization," Obito invited.
"Your organization?" A hint of surprise flashed across Itachi's eyes.
"It's called 'Akatsuki'," Obito responded.
"I understand." Itachi nodded slightly before disappearing into the jungle.
As Itachi disappeared, Kirito, who had been hiding in the shadows, intentionally revealed himself by stepping on a branch, causing it to snap.
Obito turned at the sound, glaring toward the tree. "Who's there, rat? Come out!"
Kirito slowly emerged from behind the tree, speaking in an exaggerated tone, "Ah, ah, have I been found out? You truly are the legendary Uchiha Madara."
"You're quite capable to have detected me and evaded Itachi's Mangekyō to follow us this far." Obito crossed his arms, still not in a hurry to act. "Tell me, what do you want?"
"It's simple. I'm very interested in this Akatsuki organization you mentioned." Kirito said calmly.
"Why?" Obito narrowed his eyes, full of disdain.
Even without the Mangekyō, anyone qualified to join Akatsuki was an S-rank missing-nin, famous throughout the ninja world. Each member possessed a bloodline limit, special abilities, or years of notoriety and power, almost on par with the Kage.
What did Kirito have? Just a few mediocre genjutsu from the Kurenai Yuhi clan?
"You'll see if you try." Kirito smirked, drawing his sword **Kyoka Suigetsu** from his waist, and whispered, "Shatter it! .
"If you're seeking death, I'll grant your wish. You'll die soon anyway, so why not now?" Obito sneered. "Let me show you the true power of the Uchiha's eyes."
Obito's right eye, hidden beneath his mask, opened, revealing a blood-red Sharingan with three tomoe. A powerful chakra flow burst forth, engulfing Kirito.
