"Kill you..."
Itachi Uchiha looked at the second elder of the Uchiha clan, holding his long blade as he stepped forward: "For Konoha, please die, second elder."
Step, step, step.
Each step Itachi took echoed softly, shaking the second elder's heart.
"For Konoha?" The second elder stared at Itachi in shock, his eyes wide: "You've sided with Konoha? You want to kill me?"
The second elder of the Uchiha clan was truly stunned. He was the second elder, how could Itachi, his own clan member, really want to kill him?
Since you know the truth now, then you would die here.
"The clansmen will accompany you," Itachi thought as his steps grew heavier.
Itachi's feet dragging felt like a curse that tightened around the Second ELder's heart.
Thud.
The sound of Itachi's footsteps pressed down on him like a heavy burden, making his heart tighten even more.
Gulp.
The second elder couldn't hold back his fear as he looked at Itachi's murderous eyes and the long blade gleaming red. "Itachi, you can't kill me. You know that I've always supported the village. You can't kill me!"
The second elder wanted to explain. He had always supported the village. Even when the Uchiha clan was forced to give up the Police Force, he played a part, or else they wouldn't have given up half of it.
Even this coup had been pushed by Fugaku Uchiha.
He had always longed for peace, despite the village's oppression, he still sided with the village.
He didn't want to die.
But he knew he couldn't beat Itachi, so he tried to explain, hoping that Itachi would understand.
"My mission is to wipe out the Uchiha clan. So... for Konoha, please die, second elder!" Itachi said coldly. With a flicker, he appeared in front of the second elder and stabbed his blade into his chest!
Splat~
Blood sprayed everywhere!
The second elder's eyes were filled with disbelief. He glanced down at the blade piercing his chest, then at Itachi, and finally, in his last moments, he struggled to speak:
"Spare my son and my grandson... it's our stubborn old ways that should die, but the children are innocent. Please, you..."
Even so, he still wanted to fight for a glimmer of hope for his family.
"In the Pure Land, you will meet again..." Itachi's voice was cold as he slowly withdrew his long blade.
His gaze was calm.
The Second Elder wanted to say something, but Itachi had already passed him and was walking towards the yard.
"Dad."
A middle-aged man inside the house heard the commotion outside, stepped out, and immediately saw the scene.
He also saw Itachi!
"Itachi, why did you kill my father?" The middle-aged Uchiha's eyes instantly turned blood red. "Even if you're the clan leader's son, you will have to pay for this!"
With that, the middle-aged man produced a kunai from his hand, and his chakra surged wildly.
"Run, quickly, take your children and leave Konoha!" The Second Elder, who was on the ground, barely holding onto Itachi's foot, tried to make his son escape with his grandchildren.
As he spoke, he also pleaded with Itachi. "Itachi, you're also a member of the Uchiha clan. Leave a spark for our clan!"
The Second Elder's voice was full of desperation!
But Itachi remained unmoved, continuing to walk forward.
"Dad!" The middle-aged man began to regain some clarity, especially after seeing Itachi's Sharingan, realizing he was no match for Itachi!
Coming to his senses, he planned to take his children and flee.
However, just as he moved, a long blade pierced through his chest!
"You..." The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with disbelief. As he neared death, the Sharingan in his eyes began to evolve, taking the shape of the Mangekyō Sharingan!
But it was too late!
The moment Itachi saw the man's Sharingan, his blade swung down, severing his head.
"Dad, Grandpa..." At that moment, two children, a boy of about eight or nine years old and a girl of about five or six, ran out of the house upon seeing the scene.
"Dad, Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Don't you want Nannan anymore? What's going on? Wuuu~~ Let's go eat, let's go eat." The little girl looked at her grandpa and dad, constantly murmuring with her small mouth.
"Nannan." The second elder looked at his son's severed head, tears of regret filling his eyes. Itachi is a heartless wolf! If I had known, I would never have sided with Konoha!
Why should we suffer? In the end, Konoha never spared him, nor did they spare the Uchiha clan!
It's a shame... my granddaughter, my son…
"Nannan... I'm sorry, Grandpa caused this to you!" The second elder looked at his granddaughter, regret in his eyes.
"You killed my father, Grandpa, I will avenge them!" A young boy threw himself in front of Itachi, determined to fight him.
At this moment,
The boy's eyes also revealed two tomoe!
{I just want to mention here, Sasuke's talent isn't particularly outstanding in the Uchiha clan.}
His eyes were bloodshot!
Puff~
But Itachi, extremely cold, slashed the boy with a single sword.
Though the boy had some skill and dodged slightly, he was still sent flying by the strike.
Half of his arm dangled, clearly severely wounded!
However,
He still looked at Itachi with those blood-red eyes, filled with fury.
Step, step, step.
"Big brother, please don't kill Nannan's brother, okay?" The little girl murmured, seeing her brother injured. She blinked her innocent eyes at Itachi, full of pleading: "Nannan no longer has a father or grandpa, please don't kill my brother anymore!"
Nannan blinked her eyes, looking at Itachi.
A woman quickly ran over and held her two children close, looking at Uchiha Itachi and pleading, "Please, don't hurt my children. They're just kids. They won't pose any threat to you!"
The woman begged, but she was just a civilian from the Uchiha clan. She had no power to stop Itachi or allow her children to escape.
"I'm sorry. My mission is to eradicate the Uchiha clan!" But at that moment, Itachi was like a cold, emotionless killing machine. From the moment he killed his parents, there was no turning back. Now, there was only one path forward—destroy the Uchiha clan.
Thinking this, he stepped forward once again.
Blood splattered everywhere.
"Mother, what happened? Nannan is scared..."
"Mother..."
The voices of two children echoed, adding an air of tragedy to the silent courtyard.
But,
That moment passed quickly, and the entire courtyard fell silent again.
Only the heavy scent of blood lingered.
Itachi, with a cold expression, walked out of the courtyard and continued forward.
The tragic scene had not shaken him in the slightest.
"Zzz... He's really a cold-blooded guy," said Masked Obito, who had appeared beside him at some point, slowly asking, "Where do we go next?"
