Chapter 369: Suzaku Returns, the Unexpected Kaleidoscope Opener

In Konoha Village, in the deserted courtyard of Uchiha Obito's house.

"Help me kill a group of people. After that, I will join Akatsuki and work for you..." Uchiha Itachi stated his request with a serious face.

When he heard Uchiha Itachi's decision with his own ears, Obito couldn't help but laugh in his heart: "Haha... have you finally figured it out?"

With the addition of another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, his chances of defeating Uchiha Ryuun would be greatly increased, and it would be worth the effort he put into Uchiha Itachi.

"Well, I figured it out!" Uchiha Itachi nodded seriously.

"Tell me, who do you want to kill..." Uchiha Obito asked casually.

"Kill my father and the tribesmen behind him..."

"Kill your father? Did I hear it right?" Uchiha Obito looked extremely surprised for a moment.

"You heard it right, it's my father - Uchiha Fugaku. I want to use his life... to test my own tolerance." Uchiha Itachi used this reason.

His face was full of seriousness at this moment, and Uchiha Obito couldn't even treat this sentence as a joke.

"Mana..."

Uchiha Obito's eyes showed a pensive look, and he felt a little confused about Uchiha Itachi's beastly behavior of killing his father.

He became a beast in order to create a perfect infinite Tsukuyomi world. But what was Itachi Uchiha's purpose in becoming a beast? To prove his own magnanimity? Obito couldn't quite figure out the key to this.

Seeing that the masked Madara hadn't spoken yet, nor had he expressed his intention to help, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but feel anxious, so he said something that surprised Uchiha Obito even more:

"You said that if the Uchiha clan loses a loved one, there is a high chance that they will be able to open the Mangekyō Sharingan. I want to obtain a more powerful power..."

"Um???"

Uchiha Obito actually already knew that Uchiha Itachi had opened his eyes, and even the ability for Uchiha Itachi to open the Mangekyō Sharingan was designed by him personally... It's just that Uchiha Itachi didn't realize that he was being monitored by White Zetsu, so he thought that Masked Madara didn't know about this, so he dared to say this.

As soon as these words were spoken, Uchiha Itachi's impure motives were exposed. Uchiha Obito instantly became wary of this person. At this moment, he actually didn't know that Uchiha Itachi and the Fourth Hokage were secretly colluding in order to let Itachi infiltrate the Akatsuki organization.

The rebellious ninjas in the Hidden Rain Village were extremely powerful, which made Hatake Sakumo very wary. Their ambition to collect the tailed beasts also made the Hokage uneasy, so Uchiha Itachi volunteered to take on the task of acting as a spy.

'It seems that this guy has other purposes for killing people and wanting to join Akatsuki...' Uchiha Obito decided to let Zetsu come and investigate the specific reasons.

But no matter what, he planned to follow Uchiha Itachi's wishes and help him fulfill his request. After the other party joined Akatsuki, there would be plenty of time to discuss other things.

In Uchiha Obito's eyes, no matter what Uchiha Itachi wanted to do, he was confident that he could control the other party.

"Okay... Since you want to prove your generosity, I'll help you..."

At this point, the plan to purge the Uchiha clan was officially finalized.

Three days later, late at night.

"I have marked the home addresses of each target. It would be best if we could do this without alerting other clan members..." Uchiha Itachi said as he handed a family map in his hand to Obito.

Masked Madara, Black Zetsu, and Uchiha Itachi acted separately and launched assassination operations against the Uchiha clan members on the list one by one.

"Zetu, after you finish your work later, you stay in Konoha and help me find out the specific reasons why Uchiha Itachi killed his father..." At a fork in the road, Uchiha Obito gave an order to Black Zetsu.

"I see……"

The killing lasted from midnight to four in the morning. Masked Madara and Black Zetsu successfully completed the tasks assigned by Uchiha Itachi, and Uchiha Itachi also completed the most difficult task... He killed his own father with his own hands!

Originally, Uchiha Itachi should have killed Uchiha Mikoto as well, but considering that his younger brother was young and needed care... he ultimately did not kill his mother.

He didn't do this mission perfectly, but it was acceptable in Konoha's eyes.

"Itachi...has your eyes opened?" Uchiha Obito asked jokingly.

Uchiha Itachi nodded expressionlessly, and his pair of three-magatama Sharingan suddenly transformed into Mangekyō Sharingan!

"Haha... As expected of you, now that things here are settled, come back to the Akatsuki organization with me!"

There was a hint of mockery in Uchiha Obito's voice. After saying this, he turned around and left.

Uchiha Itachi stood there, looked up at the sky in silence for a long time. Finally, he exhaled heavily with a trembling throat, and then quickly caught up with the figure in the distance.

When dawn broke, the screams and cries of the Uchiha clan instantly awakened the entire Hidden Leaf Village!

On that day, Uchiha Itachi was officially listed as an 'S'-level traitor by the Fourth Hokage for his heinous crimes of killing his father, murdering his own clan, and defecting.

The Uchiha clan members blamed all the hatred for the death of their loved ones on Uchiha Itachi, and even Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Sasuke were hated by these people.

The clan members who have lost their loved ones will not care whether you are the clan leader's wife or not. Even if Uchiha Fugaku himself dies, it is difficult to eliminate those people's hatred... Uchiha Mikoto hugged little Sasuke and cried bitterly. If it were not for Sasuke's young age, she really wanted to die.

The pain of having one's own child kill one's own husband is something that ordinary people cannot bear, so Uchiha Mikoto, who possesses the three-magatama Sharingan, awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan in despair and crying!

Sasuke, crying bitterly in his mother's arms, felt a sticky warmth coming from above his head. When he looked up, he saw tears and blood flowing in Uchiha Mikoto's eyes, and there was some very strange curved pattern around her pupils.

“Mom…Mom, your eyes!!!”

When Uchiha Sasuke's exclamation was rang out, Uchiha Mikoto fainted due to excessive grief and the awakening of her Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Mother!!!"

The moment he saw his mother faint, Uchiha Sasuke, who had just turned eight, awakened his Magatama Sharingan.

After the Uchiha clan was severely damaged, Hatake Sakumo sent Anbu ninjas to invade the Uchiha clan in order to protect Itachi Uchiha's parents from persecution by his clan members.

He did this with the intention of protecting the mother and son and also to continue monitoring the family.

As long as he can be sure that the subsequent Uchiha clan cannot affect Konoha, then he will lift all control and surveillance on the Uchiha clan.
