With Itachi Uchiha's strength, these ordinary clansmen had no power to resist and were quickly slaughtered by him.
Some powerful individuals attempted to escape, but instead ran right into Obito Uchiha's clutches.
"Continue," Obito Uchiha said calmly. "I'll take care of the ones who slipped through the net."
Itachi Uchiha gave him a deep look, then turned and walked to another place.
Sharingan!
After Itachi Uchiha left, Obito was about to dig out the Sharingan from these people.
Just then, a Bijūdama shot out from behind, forcing Obito Uchiha to abandon the person and flee the scene.
Boom!
He had just left using the Shunshin no Jutsu when the corpses of those Uchiha clansmen were blasted to smithereens by the Bijūdama.
Seeing the mess before him, Obito Uchiha clenched his fists and roared, "Black Zetsu, did you do this on purpose? Naruto Uzumaki has already turned evil—why do you still want to destroy the Sharingan?"
Wasn't he just trying to get a few Sharingan eyes as a precaution during the Uchiha clan massacre?
Why was it so difficult?
"This was because I accidentally knocked the Bijūdama here while trying to break through the Shishōenjin," the part of Black Zetsu that was attached to Obito Uchiha explained to him. "Don't overthink it. We have the same goal. Why would I target you?"
Obito Uchiha: "..."
A slip-up?
You're kidding!
Why didn't it hit somewhere else when you missed?
Moreover, was that mere Shishōenjin worth using the Bijūdama to break through?
To confirm his thoughts, Obito Uchiha continued to follow Itachi Uchiha, helping him fill in the gaps and attempting to collect Sharingan eyes.
But every time he tried to gouge out the Sharingan, a Bijūdama would hit him, forcing him to give up.
On one occasion, he even considered using Kamui to transfer the corpse to the Kamui dimension before slowly extracting the Sharingan.
As a result, just as Kamui was inhaling the corpse, a Bijūdama was aimed directly at him.
This forced him to abandon absorbing the corpses and instead use intangibility to avoid the impact of the Bijūdama explosion.
"Black Zetsu, you still say you didn't do it on purpose?" Obito Uchiha's face behind his mask was extremely gloomy.
"It's really not my fault," Black Zetsu continued. "You know, I'm not the only one who can control Naruto Uzumaki; Kurama is too."
"That guy has been trying to take control of Naruto's body from me, and I can't control Naruto at all right now."
"Obito, we're on the same side—you shouldn't doubt me!"
Black Zetsu continued to argue, unfazed by the fact that Kurama was there to take the blame.
Heh!
Obito Uchiha sneered inwardly.
If he believed Black Zetsu, he would be a complete fool.
One or two times might be a coincidence, but every time it was so precise and the timing was so perfect—he would never believe that the Nine-Tails could do such a thing.
...
On the other side,
Uchiha Sasuke finally made it back to his clan's territory.
At first, the ANBU members wanted to stop him, but at Hiruzen Sarutobi's instruction, they simply watched silently and did not interfere.
"What on earth happened?" Sasuke Uchiha wondered as he ran. "Why are there so many explosions coming from the clan's territory?"
"What are all these ninjas doing in my Uchiha clan?"
With this thought in mind, Sasuke Uchiha quickened his pace again; he needed to hurry back and ask his father, mother, and brother.
Roar!
Just as he was running forward, the Nine-Tails' roar suddenly rang out.
Immediately, he felt a blur before his eyes, and Naruto Uzumaki in his Six-Tails form appeared in front of him.
Black Zetsu had considered many ways to deal with Sasuke Uchiha.
First of all, it definitely could not kill him, otherwise, Indra's chakra would be reincarnated again.
The new Indra reincarnation would be even more uncontrollable, so the only way to deal with him was like dealing with Naruto Uzumaki.
Rewrite his life script, giving him a life completely different from his previous one.
Black Zetsu thought this to itself as it brushed past Sasuke Uchiha.
Without anyone noticing, it separated a small part of its body and climbed onto Uchiha Sasuke.
Ultimately, it merged with his black pupils.
There was no outward sign of anything unusual, but in reality, Black Zetsu had already entered his body.
Of course, in this state, Black Zetsu could not control Uchiha Sasuke; it could only use words to guide him and thus change his life.
Bang!
Black Zetsu controlled Naruto Uzumaki to rush out of the Uchiha clan's territory, while Sasuke Uchiha's figure also flew far away.
"It hurts!"
Although they only brushed past each other, the power of the Six-Tails state was something that Uchiha Sasuke could not resist.
If Black Zetsu hadn't held back some of its power, he would have been killed instantly.
"Quick, capture the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki! We can't let him run rampant in the village!"
"Damn it, I didn't expect this fox demon to be so powerful. Even the Shishōenjin couldn't seal it off."
"Six tails, and that's only six tails! How terrifying would it be if all nine tails appeared?"
As the Konoha ninja chased after them, they kept talking.
As for Uchiha Sasuke, nobody paid any attention to him.
Compared to the Nine-Tails, the mere Uchiha clan seemed insignificant.
After glancing in the direction where Naruto Uzumaki had disappeared, Sasuke Uchiha gritted his teeth, got up, and ran forward again.
On the way, he even saw Danzō Shimura, who seemed to be jumping up and down angrily, cursing.
Sasuke Uchiha didn't hear the specifics of what was said, nor did he care to. He needed to find his father quickly and ask him what had happened.
Finally, he ran to his house, only to find his parents' bodies lying on the ground.
The murderer was none other than his beloved older brother, Uchiha Itachi.
At that moment, he was slowly pulling the knife out of his father's heart.
"It's a lie... it's a lie. How could my brother kill Father? It's all fake, it's all fake."
Uchiha Sasuke shook his head in disbelief outside the door. How could his usually gentle older brother do such a thing?
"Is that Sasuke?" Itachi Uchiha heard the noise outside the door and turned around to say. "You're finally back."
As he spoke, Itachi's eyes flashed with a scarlet light, revealing the Mangekyō Sharingan pattern, which made Sasuke Uchiha dare not meet his gaze.
"Why?" Sasuke Uchiha lowered his head, tears streaming down his face. "Why did you kill Father and Mother? Why did you do such a thing?"
"I just wanted to test my own limits," Itachi Uchiha said, looking at Sasuke Uchiha with an indifferent gaze.
"Testing your own limits?" Sasuke Uchiha looked up in disbelief. "You killed your father and mother for something so absurd?"
"It's not just my parents; all the members of the Uchiha clan have died at my hands. I'll show you."
As Itachi spoke, he walked up to Sasuke, a flash of bloodlust in his eyes, and began to pull Sasuke into Tsukuyomi.
