Chapter 33 - Killing Itachi and Triggering Civil War? That’s Just Basic Tactics!

Watching his simulated self dive deeper into ninjutsu training and constantly searching for more techniques, Su Yang was very satisfied.

That was exactly what he wanted from this simulation run, to accumulate a vast arsenal of jutsu and practical combat experience.

After all, relying solely on Kamui and Amaterasu just wasn't enough.

His offensive options were far too limited, and he couldn't keep relying on high-tier jutsu every time.

"I wonder… can I reach the point where I can just clap my hands and summon whatever technique I want?"

As soon as he said it, Su Yang chuckled and shook his head.

He wasn't Hashirama Senju, nor was he Madara Uchiha. Reaching that level would take who-knows-how-long.

Still, it didn't matter.

As long as he kept running simulations, carrying forward experience and awareness from each one, there would come a day when he could clap his hands and summon any jutsu at will.

Hell, he might not even need to clap, just wish, and it would appear.

[Four months later, one day, you are ambushed.]

[The attacker is only a Chūnin, no match for you. You easily subdue him.]

[Using your Sharingan's genjutsu, you extract his identity, he's from the Foundation.]

[You know you haven't been exposed. More likely, Danzo is simply looking for test subjects.]

[With both your parents dead and no one paying close attention to you, you're the perfect target.]

[Still, the fact that Danzo dared to move against a member of the Uchiha clan confirms one thing, he's dead set on wiping them out.]

[An idea begins forming in your mind, you're going to stir things up. Big time.]

Wait a minute. Stir things up?

Su Yang suddenly had a bad feeling.

Don't tell me this version of me is going to do what I think he's going to do, again?

Just like a previous simulation, was he about to kill Itachi Uchiha and spark Konoha's first (and only) internal war?

Then again… if a civil war did break out, it'd be the perfect smokescreen.

[Three days later, another assassin comes, this time a Jōnin.]

[Just like the last one, he's from the Foundation and no match for you.]

[You easily subdue him and begin executing your plan.]

[You use a real clone to disguise yourself as the captured Jōnin and infiltrate the home of Uchiha Fugaku.]

[You wait in silence. Hours later, Itachi returns home. You strike instantly.]

[At just 11 years old, Itachi is already a prodigy, battle-hardened from his time in the ANBU.]

[But he's no match for you. You kill him swiftly.]

[Before anyone can arrive, you pull the real Jōnin from your Kamui space, kill him, and make it look like a mutual death with Itachi.]

Called it.

Su Yang's eye twitching slightly.

At this point, he was sure of one thing, his simulated selves did not carry memories from previous runs.

In fact, they probably didn't even retain his memories, aside from vague influences from his conscious intentions.

Which meant… yes. This was the second time he'd killed Itachi in a simulation.

"Okay, okay. So maybe deep down, I subconsciously want to take Itachi out..."

"No. No! It's not me, it's just that the guy's a walking tragedy flag. Any transmigrator with common sense would've done the same."

Su Yang consoled himself half-heartedly and continued reading.

[You made sure the killing wasn't subtle. The noise draws others quickly.]

[But before they arrive, you vanish using Kamui.]

[What happened after that? You're not entirely sure.]

[But just as you expected, even the calm and collected Fugaku loses it after hearing of his son's death.]

[He doesn't go to the Third Hokage. He directly leads the Uchiha elites to confront Danzo.]

[There are no words exchanged. The long-simmering rage of the Uchiha erupts the moment they lay eyes on him.]

[Danzo is caught off guard, he never expected such a sudden, deadly attack, and is struck down in an instant.]

[But the moment his body hits the ground, it vanishes.]

[A second, unharmed Danzo appears several meters away.]

[Fugaku immediately realizes, this is Izanagi.]

[In that moment, he's convinced that Danzo wanted his son's Sharingan for the express purpose of mastering this forbidden Uchiha technique.]

[The rest of the clan quickly comes to the same conclusion, and they erupt in fury.]

[When Hiruzen Sarutobi arrives and witnesses the chaos, he immediately declares the Uchiha are staging a coup.]

[This only fuels Fugaku's rage. He unleashes his Mangekyō Sharingan, summoning Susanoo on the spot, determined to kill Danzo.]

[That night, Konoha experienced its first civil war.]

[The Uchiha display terrifying destructive power, and Fugaku, finally unchained, inflicts devastating damage on the village.]

[But you don't pay attention to any of that. You move on to your real objective.]

[You infiltrate the Hokage's office. As expected, the civil war has drawn all personnel away, only complex sealing barriers remain.]

[You use Kamui to bypass them all and head straight for your target.]

[You know Hiruzen will sense this disturbance, so you move fast.]

[Success! You find what you came for, ]

[The Scroll of Seals!]

[Alongside it, you discover dozens of other forbidden jutsu scrolls, even a complete archive of Wood-Style techniques.]

[You transfer everything into your Kamui dimension and leave immediately.]

[Just as you vanish, Hiruzen arrives, only to find the office empty.]

[But he'll never find you. Because the moment you left, you swapped with a real clone and escaped the village entirely.]
