Hiashi knew what was happening, but he hadn't expected anyone to attack the Hyuga.
"Immediately fire a signal flare, notify the Anbu, and also take Hinata and Hanabi away."
Hiashi was extremely anxious. He quickly spoke to the guards beside him, then accelerated towards where the battle had erupted.
At this moment, he knew what he should do, but as soon as he started, a figure suddenly lunged at him.
"You are..."
And when he saw this figure, his face changed drastically.
"Hizashi? A member of the Akatsuki?"
"Big brother?"
The attacker's eyes seemed a bit dazed, and he couldn't help but murmur a name.
But his body had already launched an attack, and in an instant, the two of them were locked in combat.
Such battles constantly appeared within the Hyuga clan, and flames quietly rose in the night.
"They've fired the signal flare, Takemi and the others will probably be here soon."
On a small mountain, Obito, Black Zetsu, and Orochimaru were watching everything below.
Obito's gaze turned to Orochimaru, and he said, "You really prepared some surprises for Konoha."
"Danzo's corpse was already in our hands, and Hizashi was in Kumogakure's hands." Orochimaru smiled indifferently, licking his lips as he spoke slowly.
"They are all familiar with Konoha, and even the Hyuga clan. It would be a waste not to make good use of them."
"Hmph, you're not worried about Kumogakure's involvement being exposed." Obito snorted coldly.
Fortunately, Black Zetsu spoke at this moment, "Kumogakure is so heavily restricted, there's no need to worry. Also, White Zetsu has found their location, and Takemi and the others have moved."
"Oh?"
Obito paused upon hearing this, no longer dwelling on Orochimaru's matter.
"Since they've been drawn out, then I should move too."
"Be careful, don't forget the Edo Tensei of the First Hokage and Second Hokage are in their hands."
Black Zetsu reminded him, but Obito had already entered Kamui, quietly disappearing from his spot.
"He's really impatient, but I'm also very curious about what the Senju's relic is like, and the Uchiha's things..."
Orochimaru licked his lips, and his gaze looked into the distance.
"And coming to Konoha this time is also an opportunity. I don't want to return empty-handed."
"Are you planning..."
Black Zetsu followed Orochimaru's gaze and immediately understood what he meant.
"Those Uchiha people?"
"Of course, these are all fighting clans, and since Madara exists, how can his subordinates not?"
Orochimaru's smile remained, but when his gaze swept across the battlefield again, his expression suddenly stiffened.
Black Zetsu also sensed something and looked towards the battlefield, and both of them fell silent.
After a long while, they both sighed inwardly.
"Truly worthy of Senju Tobirama, making Konoha's bottom line so low!"
On the Hyuga battlefield, Itachi was charging recklessly.
Although he didn't want to participate in such things, he couldn't control himself now.
"Could it be that I shouldn't have chosen to die back then?"
Itachi frowned tightly, his body constantly fighting, but just then, he suddenly sensed something.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
He leaped, instantly dodging the incoming fireball, and at the same time, he quickly turned to look.
But when he clearly saw the person who had attacked him, his eyes instantly widened.
"Sasuke..."
"And..."
"Father and mother?"
"Itachi?"
Itachi's expression wasn't good. Fugaku and Mikoto were currently filled with confusion.
Having just been resurrected by Edo Tensei, they instinctively launched an attack, but they had no idea what was going on.
It wasn't until they clearly saw the person they were attacking that they realized something was very wrong, and they also noticed someone else.
"You are... Sasuke?!"
"Long time no see, father, mother."
Sasuke's expression was also somewhat complicated. Takemi had said he would summon them, but he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.
Although he knew Takemi's intentions were somewhat questionable, seeing his parents again filled his heart with a complex mix of emotions and happiness.
Especially...
He looked towards Itachi. Facing the murderer who had killed them, this situation would be even better.
"Sasuke? You've grown so big?"
Mikoto was somewhat surprised. She looked at Sasuke, then at Itachi opposite them, feeling a momentary daze.
"But, aren't we dead? Why..."
"This is a Konoha jutsu that can awaken those in the Pure Land, though it requires some sacrifice." Just then, a voice rang out.
And with that voice, Fugaku and Mikoto visibly noticed that Itachi seemed a bit nervous.
Sasuke, standing beside them, pursed his lips, but his expression immediately became incredibly respectful.
"You are..."
Looking up, they saw a white-haired figure standing on a nearby rooftop, looking at them with an amused expression.
This person made Fugaku frown, but instinctively, he felt danger from this person, as well as a strange sense of 'obedience'.
"Father, mother, he is my Jonin instructor."
Sasuke noticed their confusion and explained.
"It was he who taught me to become a qualified Ninja, and it was under his guidance that I was able to kill Itachi. He is also the future Fifth Hokage, Takemi."
"Itachi is dead?"
Mikoto was utterly incredulous, while Fugaku looked bewildered.
"The future Fifth Hokage-sama?"
"Let's not talk about the Hokage matter for now. Although it's been decided, it hasn't been officially announced yet."
Takemi shook his head. He looked at this 'perfectly aligned family' with a smile and slowly said, "As for killing Itachi, that's your own skill. You really needed to tell your family this good news."
Good news...
Fugaku and Mikoto were both somewhat dazed.
Their eldest son was killed by their youngest son. Was this considered good news?
Itachi's expression was somewhat pained. Being resurrected by Edo Tensei was already painful enough. But he hadn't expected Konoha to resurrect his parents.
And, it was to be used against him?!
"That's right, father, mother!"
Sasuke's face was filled with excitement and joy.
He whispered, "I killed him! I avenged the entire clan! I finally did it!"
"Killed Itachi, avenged the entire clan..."
Fugaku muttered, some words he didn't know if he should say.
However, his attention was quickly diverted.
"Jonin instructor... Sasuke is the Fifth Hokage's disciple?!"
Takemi looked incredibly young, perhaps even younger than his eldest son. But thinking of Minato, he felt it wasn't so strange after all.
And thinking of this, his eyes immediately cleared up considerably.
This situation was something he hadn't expected, and in fact, it was something he had once yearned for.
"Then, what's going on with Itachi now? Could it be..."
Mikoto cared most about her children. She suddenly had a bad premonition, and Sasuke confirmed her suspicion.
"He was resurrected by Orochimaru's Edo Tensei. Now he is an enemy of Konoha, and even more so, an enemy of our Uchiha clan."
"..."
Itachi's lips twitched, but he couldn't speak. Sasuke also had no intention of letting him off.
"Originally, I regretted killing him so quickly, it was too easy for him. Now that he's been resurrected by Edo Tensei, it's actually better."
As he spoke, Sasuke's eyes transformed into the Mangekyo Sharingan, and Chakra surged throughout his body.
"He cruelly murdered the entire clan, and even killed father and mother. Your sins can never be cleansed!"
"Although the entire clan cannot seek revenge on him, at least father and mother can."
Drawing his short sword, a purple Chakra phantom emerged from Sasuke, then condensed into a rib-cage-like protective layer.
"This time, we absolutely cannot let this beast go!"
