I defected before Genocide Night

"What's the situation now?!"

"Weren't we already killed by that old guy Danzo Shimura?"

"I also remember that it was him who rushed into our clan with the detonating talisman."

After the resurrection, the Uchiha clan gathered together and turned their heads to look in confusion.

When they saw Konoha, which was now in ruins, they were stunned.

"Itachi, what happened?"

Fugaku looked at his son in confusion.

After hearing the inquiry, Itachi, who was concerned about Shisui's current situation, came back to his senses and absentmindedly told Asuka about controlling Danzo's misdeeds.

"So, it is not the high-level officials of Konoha who intend to destroy the Uchiha clan, but Taki's out-of-control clone Asuka?"

After listening to Itachi's story, Fugaku was shocked and secretly relieved.

At least, Konoha has no intention of exterminating the Uchiha clan yet.

Regarding the coup, he himself actually did not have much intention.

It's just that there is always an invisible barrier between Konoha and Uchiha.

The tribesmen couldn't stand other people's sarcastic remarks, and Fugaku had no intention of suppressing their venting of emotions.

"By the way, how did we resurrect?"

After a pause, Fugaku asked about it.

Seeing that his father was still worried that Konoha would destroy Uchiha, Itachi sighed and said truthfully: "It's Taki's credit."

He ignored other tribesmen, looked at Fugaku, and said calmly: "It's Taki! He built the altar, killed the birds, and activated the unknown forbidden technique of the Samsara Eye."

"Taki! It's actually him!" Fugaku was stunned for a moment.

At the same time, other tribesmen who heard the news were also filled with disbelief.

"That guy, hasn't he already defected?"

"And he covets our eyes!"

Several tribesmen murmured quietly.

They couldn't believe this was true.

No one will forget that Taki once teamed up with Orochimaru to attack the Uchiha clan.

That night, an outstanding young member of Uchiha died in the hands of Orochimaru. If the clan leader had not arrived in time, the casualties might have increased.

This is something that all Uchiha people know.

Itachi had no intention of defending Taki, and he didn't think Taki would care about this.

He nodded and said in a cold tone: "Whether you believe it or not, many people witnessed the scene where Taki activated the forbidden technique. If you don't believe me, you can ask other people."

Itachi's too cold attitude aroused dissatisfaction among the tribesmen.

"What is your attitude? We don't even know who was alive at that time, how can we ask!" An Uchiha clan member immediately stared at him.

"Stop looking so impatient!"

Other clan members also looked at him angrily, and some even reported to Fugaku: "Clan leader, look at Itachi like this..."

"Itachi!" Fugaku frowned and looked at him helplessly.

Itachi remained silent.

Sasuke looked at Itachi's stalemate with his clansmen with blank eyes.

"Brother!" He reached out and pulled Itachi's clothes.

Itachi sighed secretly in his heart, his face softened a little, and he said: "I still have important things to do, so I'll take my leave now!"

His businesslike demeanor gave Fugaku a huge headache.

Although this son was good enough and often made him proud, he was far from what he expected in terms of uniting the clan.

Lowering his head, Fugaku looked at Sasuke, who looked confused and worried, and couldn't help but sigh.

After Itachi handed his younger brother to his parents, he immediately turned around and walked towards the place where Shisui had just disappeared.

He walked to where Zhisui was sitting just now and looked around.

Maybe it was because the ambient light was too dim, or maybe there were too many people nearby. Itachi turned his head and looked several times, but couldn't find Shisui. He could only see ninjas hugging each other in excitement around him.

"Is Shisui really resurrected? Or was the scene I just saw just an illusion?" Itachi couldn't help but ponder.

Immediately, he shook his head.

"Shisui must have been resurrected!" Itachi saw this with his own eyes, and there was no doubt about it.

"Where will he go?"

Dismissing his previous thoughts, Itachi continued to meditate, recalling the places Shisui visited most during his lifetime.

…

In the land of the Uchiha clan.

Shisui, who had just returned from resurrection, quietly came to this place.

Although he is blind, this does not prevent him from walking through the very familiar streets of his clan.

"Hey, what are you looking for?"

Taki leaned against the collapsed wall, looking at Shisui who was groping forward.

Shisui used to be a very famous figure in the Uchiha clan, and Taki recognized him immediately.

However, Taki was a little surprised when he saw that two eyeballs were missing from Shisui's eye sockets.

Asuka's reincarnation innate ability to shape the body of the deceased did not restore Shisui's eyes.

If it were restored, would there be two pairs of different gods?

Putting back his distant thoughts, Taki looked at Shisui and said, "You came back secretly, couldn't you just have a sneak peek?"

Hearing his voice, Shisui was stunned.

"You are Taki!"

Uchiha Taki was also a member of the Uchiha Police Department, and he was still very active.

Zhisui remembered that this was a tribesman with a relatively radical personality.

With a wry smile, Zhishui said: "Please, please don't tell anyone that I am still alive."

His empty eyes scanned everything around him.

It seemed that he could really see every plant and tree in the Uchiha land, as well as the ruin-like buildings.

"Huh? What are you going to do?" Taki looked at him curiously.

Zhishui's expression was silent, and then he shook his head: "I don't know. In short, please don't tell others what happened to me tonight."

He had already learned about the current situation of Konoha from other villagers.

Because Asuka rebelled and collaborated with Pain to destroy Konoha, other villagers were extremely disgusted with the Uchiha clan.

The relationship between Konoha and Uchiha has become quite bad.

In addition, Danzo went to bomb Uchiha two days ago with a detonating talisman.

If the clan members knew that his eyes were taken away by Danzo, the relationship between Konoha and Uchiha would probably become even worse.

Thinking of this and worrying that other tribesmen would rush back suddenly like Taki, Shisui quickly turned around and walked in another direction.

"You don't need to leave!"

Looking at his back, Taki laughed: "Duanzo is dead. He is one of the few people absent from the resurrection list this time."

"Except for Itachi and me, there are absolutely not many people left in Konoha who know that Danzo once attacked you."

Taki's words made Shisui pause.

After hesitating for a moment, Shisui shook his head and said: "Even if you don't tell me, I am missing the Sharingan, and it is the most precious Mangekyo Sharingan. The clansmen will not give up, and they will definitely launch an investigation."

"You think too much! Those people won't have time to worry about these things in the future."

Thinking of the number of people who had been resurrected this time, Taki couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly there are so many people in the ninja world.

In some villages, there will be a shortage of resources. Some people may not even have enough food to eat.

In the past, when this situation occurred, the ninja world would naturally start a war.

But this time, the representatives of each ninja village had already signed the IOU, and the cost of their war was far higher than the gain.

And if they try to break the contract, Taki will go there in person and let these people see the power of the Samsara Eye.

Although the Land of Fire is a big country, and Konoha is the number one village in the ninja world, it will probably have to worry about the shortage of resources for a while.

Maybe many ninjas will have their ninja certificates revoked and be turned into production activities.

Shisui didn't get much information.

He only knows that his existence will lead to further division between the village and the family.

"Is there anything more important than the Mangekyō Sharingan?" Shisui asked.

Taki twitched his lips, "If you are really worried, you can put the blame on me. Just say that I coveted your Sharingan and stole your eyes in a sneak attack."

With so many debts weighing him down, Taki no longer cares about this kind of crime.

Zhisui shook his head: "I can't let you bear these things!"

He didn't know that Taki had defected and had done various things to provoke hatred.

After waking up just now, he immediately inquired about the current situation of Uchiha and Konoha.

The man told him: The hateful traitor Asuka appeared in the Uchiha clan. Asuka turned Konoha into ruins. The residents of Konoha now hate the Uchiha clan.

"Didn't they tell you? I tried to detonate the detonating talisman in Konoha, and then destroyed the Hokage Rock, and attacked Konoha together with the rebel ninja Orochimaru and Uchiha Obito?" Taki looked at Shisui jokingly.

His casual tone made Shisui frown: "Is this true?"

Shisui was in a complicated mood at the moment.

He was worried that this was a lie told by Taki to retain him, and he was also worried that Taki, who had become a rebellious nin, would be detrimental to Konoha.

Seeing his hesitation, Taki smiled and said: "I probably shouldn't talk too much about your matter, but if you think that your sacrifice can bring about reconciliation between the family and the village, you are totally wrong. Itachi is here too

, you should discuss it with him!"

Taki pointed behind Shisui.

Shisui had no eyes, so he couldn't see Taki's instructions, but he subconsciously looked behind him.

"Itachi?" Shisui called tentatively.

"Shisui!" Itachi responded.

When he saw Shisui, he was actually very relieved.

However, before chatting with Shisui, he glanced at Taki who was watching from the side.

"The tribesmen have a deep misunderstanding of you. If you want to redeem yourself, go and explain to them as soon as possible!"

Itachi still believed that everything Taki did was out of good intentions, and he still cared about Konoha and Uchiha.

Now is a good opportunity. If Taki, who saved the ninja world and Konoha, can return, it will be of great benefit to Konoha and Uchiha.

"Forget it! I'm used to the life of a rebel ninja!" Taki spread his hands.

He is not the original person, nor can he completely take over all the other person's interpersonal relationships.

He didn't even want to be like Itachi and Shisui, who obviously had great strength but had to be someone else's dog.

"Shisui wants to die again. You should have a good talk with him. Things will always turn around!" After saying that, Taki disappeared from the place.

Next, he will go to another place.

After Taki left, Itachi looked at Shisui, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Shisui, you don't have to choose that path this time."

"What?" Shisui was stunned.

After all, he has just been resurrected and may not know many things.

Itachi told him everything he knew.

It starts with Taki's defection.

"So he is really a traitor?!" Zhisui frowned.

Itachi said patiently: "The timing of Taki's defection is very delicate. I suspect that he used such an alternative method to save the Uchiha clan on the verge of destruction."

Shisui suddenly asked: "Itachi, if Taki had not defected, would you have followed Danzo-sama's instructions and eradicated the Uchiha clan?"

Itachi was silent for a while and answered him: "I can!"

Shisui couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"We should really thank Taki!" he said with emotion.

…

When dawn broke, Nagato sat in front of the temporary wooden house and looked up at the sky.

"Jiraiya-sensei, how is the situation?"

Nagato, who lost his samsara eye, has become a blind man.

But he still pays attention to the major events happening in the ninja world.

Jiraiya just found Nagato.

He sighed and said with a complicated expression: "Taki built an altar and used forbidden techniques to revive all the people Asuka killed."

"A forbidden technique that can resurrect the dead?" Nagato couldn't help but be curious.

Jiraiya answered him: "I heard that it seems to be the forbidden technique of the Samsara Eye. You should know something about it, right?"

Jiraiya looked at Nagato.

Nagato looked stunned.

"Is it the art of reincarnation? That art doesn't require building an altar at all!"

His words made Jiraiya stare blankly.

"Maybe, that's a forbidden technique that Taki improved!"

Jiraiya forced a smile.

He had some doubts that Taki's intentions were not that simple.

However, those who died were indeed resurrected. Even if Taki had any conspiracy, it probably had nothing to do with Konoha.

The Third Hokage was also resurrected, and Jiraiya was too lazy to think about these troublesome things.

"Tsunade is looking for suitable eyes. Soon you will be able to see again."

Jiraiya mentioned this matter.

Nagato was stunned, turned his face to the other side, and said coldly: "Jiraiya-sensei, you don't need to be so nice to me. I once attacked Konoha, you should kill me!"

"Your purpose should also be for peace, right?" Jiraiya laughed and said with emotion: "Taki said that the purpose of the Akatsuki organization is to collect nine tailed beasts, and you plan to launch an illusion called Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Let everyone maintain peace in the illusion world, right?"

"Taki!"

Mentioning the person who defeated him, Nagato's expression was a little tangled, "He knows so many things!"

He still remembered that the first time Taki appeared in the Akatsuki organization was because Obito secretly told him to recruit this person into the organization.

No one could have imagined that this guy would later betray the organization, defeat himself, and steal the Samsara Eye.

"You still hate him, don't you?" Jiraiya looked at him.

Nagato didn't answer.

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Whether you hate it or not, it doesn't mean much anymore. I failed!"

Seeing the disappointment on his face, Jiraiya couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm actually glad about this."

"With the reincarnation eye, you look too cold."

"Jiraiya-sensei, you won't understand. Yahiko's death made me understand that it is impossible for people in the ninja world to understand and forgive each other, because interests breed hatred, and old hatreds give birth to new hatreds, and the cycle continues forever.

Not finished.”

Having said this, Nagato suddenly asked: "When you heard that I destroyed Konoha, did you regret that you should not have stopped Orochimaru from killing the three of us?"

Jiraiya couldn't help but be speechless.

He had no regrets, and he even blamed himself a little for not taking good care of his three disciples.
