I defected before Genocide Night

When night fell, Uchiha Itachi came to the edge of the village.

The surrounding area is very empty.

very quiet.

Even if a war breaks out here, no unnecessary people will be injured.

Itachi paused and stopped.

Turning around, he glanced coldly at the woods behind him.

He said expressionlessly: "Come out!"

Ever since the plan to capture the masked man failed last night, he has been feeling a strange feeling.

Like a thorn in the back.

Now, this feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

“Ho ho…”

In the woods.

Orochimaru's usual cold laughter came from inside.

"It won't be long, Uchiha Itachi!"

He suddenly appeared behind Itachi.

Licking his tongue, his golden vertical pupils were filled with a playful look.

Itachi was a little confused.

After the ANBU was disbanded last night, he went home and fell asleep in order to regain his energy as soon as possible.

He had not heard from Fugaku that Orochimaru coveted the Sharingan.

Turning around, he looked at Orochimaru and said expressionlessly: "You are a defected Sannin, why do you follow me?"

Hearing his question, Orochimaru smiled, his gloomy face showing greed that could not be concealed.

"Itachi, it is said that you, like Taki, have also awakened those powerful eyes!"

His face was full of covetousness, and he unabashedly expressed his coveting for the Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Those eyes..."

Itachi was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Taki has awakened the Mangekyo too?"

He knew what it cost to get those eyes.

Seeing the surprise on his face, Orochimaru sneered "ho ho".

Then, he told what Taki had done to awaken his eyes.

After speaking, he looked into Itachi's eyes and licked his tongue in fascination: "Since you walked to such a remote place by yourself, I won't be polite."

Uchiha Itachi frowned slightly, he already understood.

Orochimaru became very interested in Sharingan and Uchiha because he witnessed Taki's rapid improvement in strength.

"A member of the Uchiha clan died a few days ago. He should have been killed by you."

He took out his kunai, trying to scare away Orochimaru, who was eyeing him.

But Orochimaru had already taken action, using his snake hands to easily restrain him and lift him high.

"Your eyes don't seem as strong as Taki's!"

Looking at Itachi being lifted into the air by snake hands, Orochimaru said jokingly.

He wanted to see the fear in Itachi's eyes.

But Uchiha Itachi just shook his head.

There wasn't much movement on his face, he still looked calm: "You'd better take a clear look at your situation first."

The scene that happened in the original time and space was repeated in this secluded forest at this moment.

This time, without Yakushi Kabuto's cover, and with Uchiha Itachi's murderous intention, Orochimaru suddenly fell into the world of genjutsu and couldn't extricate himself.

Previously, in order to deal with Taki's illusion, he had burned a curse mark on his body.

But in the face of Tsukuyomi's pupil technique, his curse seal has little effect.

In the end, Orochimaru had to release all his power and transformed into Yamata no Orochi.

The huge snake form immediately attracted the ninjas of Konoha.

Itachi wanted to fight quickly, so he immediately summoned Susana and sealed him with the Ten Fist Sword.

When Jiraiya arrived, the battle was already over.

Around the battlefield, many ninjas gathered to watch the battle.

"Is this the ultimate power of the Sharingan?"

People were amazed when they witnessed the red giant sealing the white phosphorus snake.

The Uchiha tribesmen present were a little proud, and they said in a show of popular science: "This is just the pupil technique that comes with the sharingan after it has developed to the kaleidoscope level."

Except for Susanoo, each pair of Mangekyō Sharingan has its own unique ability.

The Uchiha clan had long heard of these things from Itachi.

It was noisy around.

The ninjas who watched this fierce battle were all excited and began to discuss the power of Uchiha.

Itachi, who originally planned to resolve the matter quietly, frowned again.

Although this place is far away from the center of Konoha, the huge forms of Yamata no Orochi and Susanoo still inevitably attract the attention of many people.

"Itachi, did you kill Orochimaru?"

The third generation also arrived, which made Itachi feel a little embarrassed.

Orochimaru is the disciple of the third generation.

When the Third Generation discovered that Orochimaru was using fellow village ninjas to conduct human experiments, he finally relented and let it go.

Now Orochimaru is sealed by himself...

Will Hokage-sama resent me for this?

The thought flashed across my mind.

Itachi shook his head.

impossible.

According to Hokage-sama, it is impossible for Mr. Hokage to be angry with himself and the Uchiha clan because of these things.

Quietly clenching his fists, Itachi thought decisively:

"Since Lord Hokage can't do anything, then let me take his place and completely erase the stain of Orochimaru."

Thinking of this, Itachi's thoughts became firm.

Seeing the third generation who was hesitant to speak, he fell silent for a moment and said: "Orochimaru has already taken action against the Uchiha clan. He is a traitor and has malicious intentions towards Konoha. I can't judge whether he can stop here.

,so……"

"Sorry, Hokage-sama!"

He bowed deeply and left the scene.

Sandai's lips moved, and he was somewhat speechless.

Could he blame Itachi?

Like Kakashi, Itachi is the best member of ANBU.

When performing missions, other ANBU members may waver when faced with some targets, but Kakashi and Itachi, nicknamed cold-blooded, have always been the most decisive.

Danzo once praised Itachi's ninja qualities for this reason.

Thinking of Danzo's previous evaluation of Itachi - a qualified ninja walking in the dark.

The third generation shook his head.

He couldn't blame Itachi. Orochimaru's arrival to this point was inextricably related to him.

He caught a glimpse of Jiraiya who was also shocked and lost next to him.

The third generation walked over, patted Jiraiya on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice:

"Jiraiya, don't blame Itachi, everything he did was for Konoha.

Very early on, Itachi possessed the Hokage's thinking and knew what was best for Konoha."

Jiraiya was silent for a long time, and finally looked up at the darkening sky.

"Yes, he is a ninja who understands the will of fire better than Tsunade Orochimaru and I!"

After sighing with emotion, Jiraiya smiled bitterly.

He was finally able to understand the teacher's inner feelings when Danzo "died".

On the way back to Konoha, he was a little worried that the Uchiha clan and Uchiha Itachi would be killed by Orochimaru, but he didn't expect it to be the other way around now.

He didn't even have extra time to feel sad for this old friend who had defected.

Naruto is still waiting for him to rescue.

Ignoring the emotion in his heart, Jiraiya picked up his spirits and said: "Itachi Uchiha is so strong. With him here, I can finally leave Konoha with peace of mind and go to find Naruto."

Speaking of Naruto, the worry in Sandai's heart deepened.

He couldn't ignore the changes that had occurred in Naruto during this time.

After hesitating for a moment, he reminded Jiraiya: "Naruto's situation is very wrong. If you see him, you must be careful!"

Jiraiya nodded.

He wanted to stop by and ask about Danzo's current situation.

At this time, someone from the ANBU came over to report:

"Hokage-sama, a missing ninja has returned."

When did Konoha have a missing ninja...

The third generation was a little dazed.

Suddenly, he remembered what happened when Naruto was locked in the cave.

At that time, many ninjas sent to guard Naruto did disappear.

If you guessed correctly, the person who did it should be the mysterious masked man.

After ruling out the suspicion that the other party was Obito, Konoha became full of exploration and curiosity about the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.

"I'll be there right away!"

Thinking of the precious information that the other party might bring back, Sandai didn't care about anything else.

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment and followed.

In the conference room.

The Hyuga ninja, who had not eaten properly for many days while being stared at by the two advisors, burped.

After a while, he finally waited for the third generation.

The moment they saw the third generation coming in, Koharu and Mito Kadenen, who were sleeping, said at the same time: "Hiruzen, you came just in time."

Glancing at the Hyuga ninja, the two advisors talked about the information the other party brought back.

"He said the masked man is Uchiha Obito."

The expression on Mito Kadobu's face was a little solemn, "I'm wondering, could this be Taki's conspiracy again?"

Sandai and Jiraiya sat down and listened to their words carefully.

"I was sucked into a mysterious space and stayed there for a long time. Later I overheard the conversation between the masked man and Uchiha Taki, and he personally admitted that he was Uchiha Obito."

The Hyuga ninja reiterated what he had just said to the two advisors.

In response, Sandai looked at him with gentle eyes: "Is there food in that mysterious space you mentioned? How did you survive and escape? Where are the others?"

Hearing this question, the Hyuga ninja was speechless.

"me……"

Thinking of the unpleasant events that happened in the space, he struggled a lot, but in the end he still couldn't speak out calmly.

Seeing this, Sandai shook his head and sighed.

He stood up from his position and walked to the side of the Hyuga ninja.

Patted the poor guy on the shoulder.

He sighed: "It's already rare that you can come back alive. Just take a good rest in the next few days."

When the Hyuga ninja left, there were only four of them left in the conference room.

Glancing at the quiet conference room, the third generation said: "Now we can basically conclude that the masked man is definitely not Obito."

The two consultants nodded, they had the same idea.

"We have seen this kind of trick a lot. It must be that Taki and the masked man deliberately said such things in front of Hinata and Kazuto in order to confuse us."

"Now, let's find a way to revive Danzo first!"

Speaking of Danzo, there was dead silence in the conference room again.

"The clan leader in the mountain told us that after using the Heart Turning Technique, the body will fall into sleep before the soul returns."

"It can be preliminarily judged that there is something wrong with the souls of Danzo and the Gennin who used the Heart Turn Technique on Taki."

The voices of two consultants sounded in the quiet conference room.

The third generation pondered: "Problems about the soul..."

Although he is called a doctor of ninjutsu, his attainments in soul ninjutsu are not high.

Helpless, he looked at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya happened to have something to say.

"Does the Yamanaka clan have any way to perform targeted treatment on souls?" Jiraiya asked curiously.

The two consultants shook their heads.

"In this case, I can only suggest opening the sealed book and looking for a method from above."

With that said, Jiraiya stood up.

"I still have things to be busy with. Let's leave the affairs of Konoha to you seniors."

Compared to Danzo, he was more worried about Naruto.

Although protected by the seal, Naruto is the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki after all.

The Akatsuki organization might have the ability to forcibly break through the seal.

This is what Jiraiya is most worried about.

If he goes too late, Naruto will definitely die once the tailed beast is taken away.

Jiraiya left quickly.

After he left, the conference room became even more deserted.

The third generation and two consultants looked at the conference room in the dark night and suddenly felt that it was full of lifelessness.

These two old men and an old woman are indeed old.

…

…

dawn.

Looking at Naruto beside Obito, Pain said thoughtfully: "You caught the Nine-Tails!"

His tone made Naruto extremely disgusted.

"You are the boss of the Akatsuki organization, right?"

Naruto raised his head and looked Pain up and down.

"There doesn't seem to be anything special about the leader of the Akatsuki organization!"

After hearing his words, Payne frowned slightly.

He looked at Obito.

Now there is no one else, Obito is "Madara".

"Madara" did not show any weakness at all, and said in a low voice: "In order to ensure that the heretic demon can be resurrected in the most perfect posture, I think you should collect the tailed beasts in order."

"Let's put the matter of sealing the Nine Tails last!"

Even when facing the Rinnegan, Obito still showed no fear at all.

The fact that Pain and Nagato have reached this point is the result of his manipulation step by step.

In other words, he is the real leader behind the Akatsuki organization.

After hearing his words, Pain glanced at Naruto calmly.

Then he turned his head and looked at Obito: "Whatever you want!"

"However, I must remind you that Akatsuki's existence is no longer a secret, and the ninja world is targeting us."

His voice was cold.

But when he heard him mention the ninja world, Obito couldn't help but sneer: "They're just a bunch of fish, what's there to care about?"

He always remembered that Taki, who could see the future, said: shrouded in infinite Tsukuyomi, this is the future of the ninja world.

Seeing how arrogant he was, Payne paused and said no more.

Naruto then spoke.

"How is your collection of tailed beasts going?"

Concerned about the Eye of the Moon plan, Naruto said: "Let's act quickly and collect the tailed beasts quickly."

He said this to Obito.

Payne frowned.

He didn't understand how Obito convinced the jinchūriki.

You know, once the tailed beast is separated, the jinchūriki will definitely die.

But the kid in front of him looked completely indifferent.

Although I was extremely puzzled by this in my heart, I glanced at Madara who was indifferent next to him.

Pain patiently replied to Naruto: "If we want to seal the tailed beasts in order, the first thing we need to capture now is Sunagakure's one-tail jinchūriki."

Capture a jinchūriki.

Naruto looked intently and raised his head, "Can I join?"

Now, Payne was really surprised.

After being surprised, he returned to his indifferent expression: "I have no objection. You are with Madara, and he should arrange your actions!"

"Madara?" Naruto turned his head and looked at Obito beside him. He knew that this was Obito's kana.

Obito was also looking down at him: "We need to prepare for a few days before setting off to Sunagakure Village."

It is different from constantly fishing in the original time and space.

This time, after the control of the three-tailed Jinchuuriki was exposed, Obito could no longer use Mizukage to hurt Kirigakure and avenge Lin.

In addition, the seal that Minato had left in Naruto's body was released.

With no hidden dangers, under Naruto's urging, he planned to collect the tailed beasts as soon as possible.
