Chapter 134
He was completely outmaneuvered by that brat, Uzumaki Naruto.
And this scene, happening right as Uchiha Itachikilled Uchiha Shisui, would successfully shift the blame.
Afterward, the news of Uchiha Itachi's murder would surely spread throughout the Village.
The Uchiha Clan, which had been flourishing, would see its status plummet.
After all, Uchiha Itachi was Uchiha Fugaku's son. With such a major incident occurring in his own family, how could he, as the leader, continue to hold his position? From ancient times, harming one's own clan has always been a great taboo.
Precisely because of this, Uchiha Fugaku would be unable to continue leading the Uchiha Clan.
Would he resign in disgrace?
In any case, whether he resigned or not, the Uchiha Clan would no longer be as united as before.
Losing the trusted Uchiha Fugaku would cause the Uchiha Clan's plans to fail.
And by that time… the Uchiha Clan would have no mind for a coup, and Danzo would be unable to make Itachi exterminate the Uchiha.
After all, Itachi was already a criminal for killing Shunshin Shisui.
If he wasn't executed, he would at least be exiled to "Grass Country's Hozuki Castle."
Without this slaughtering blade, how else could Danzo harm the Uchiha?
At least for a while, the Uchiha would not be annihilated.
"Hehehe~."
Naruto chuckled inwardly, expressionless.
Years of arrangements, countless days and nights, and numerous events, finally converged today.
Sako, Mikoto~ Auntie~, Izumi... Everyone in the Uchiha, I've saved you all, it's wonderful, hehe... Naruto thought, intoxicated.
"Itachi, Itachi!!!"
Uchiha Fugaku, as a father, was so enraged that he couldn't speak.
He could only roar the name of his son, who had been entrusted with great responsibility.
Uchiha Fugaku... his heart was bleeding at this moment.
His most favored eldest son had killed the most outstanding young talent in the clan... Shunshin Shisui.
Originally, according to the plan, the Uchiha Clanwas supposed to seize power during next month's festival.
But Itachi had personally destroyed everything.
This unfilial son! He killed not only Shisui, but also the future of the Uchiha Clan!
Did he not even care about his own relatives, his clan... or even his sister Sako's future?!
Unfilial son!
The extremely furious Uchiha Fugaku immediately roared, "Yashiro, Inaho, I order you, as the captain of the Uchiha Police Force... arrest Uchiha Itachi!"
"Yes!"
Shisui's death not only enraged Uchiha Fugaku, but also infuriated the radical faction like Yashiro, Inaho, and Tekka.
The Uchiha were about to rise, yet this bastard Uchiha Itachi had done such a thing!
"Wait... that's not right."
Just then, Kakashi's deep, serious voice interrupted the two of them.
"I believe... Itachi should be apprehended by the Anbu!"
And even... judged!
Because who knew if Uchiha Fugaku was also a murderer?
After all, he and Itachi were so closely related; they were father and son.
What if Uchiha Fugaku had secretly colluded with his son?
"Mr. Fugaku, doing this is also to avoid suspicion for you. I hope you can understand..."
Kakashi's fanboy, Tenzo, immediately echoed him.
"So, let us, the Anbu, apprehend Itachi."
"Heh..."
Watching the situation he had personally arranged begin to unfold, Naruto once again showed a devilish smile.
Chapter 78. Naruto: Foolish Itachi, Die
"!"
Uchiha Fugaku was suddenly startled, realizing the impropriety of his command given in a fit of rage.
As the Anbu personnel had pointed out, his arresting Itachi would indeed be unfair.
At this point, he had no choice but to let the Anbuapprehend Itachi.
Yashiro and the others could only hand the matter over to the Anbu.
"Itachi, come with us..."
Kakashi stepped forward, and the Ninjas of Anbu Squad Six moved in unison, surrounding Itachi at the edge of the cliff.
Arrest Itachi?
Naruto watched the scene unfold, and naturally, he wouldn't allow Itachi to be safely captured.
Danzo's goal was to kill with a borrowed knife, to have Itachi eliminate the Uchiha.
Once Itachi was imprisoned in the Anbu prison, Danzo might pull a stunt like "Uchiha Itachi breaks out of his cell in the middle of the night, then returns to the clan compound to slaughter and exterminate the clan."
After all... the death penalty becoming a suspended sentence, a suspended sentence becoming life imprisonment, life imprisonment becoming a fixed term, a fixed term becoming a reduced sentence... people who should have died, after being imprisoned for a few years or months, are actually released! Such things have happened.
—And they happen frequently.
You tell me, how could a perfectly good death row inmate suddenly be released immediately?
Naruto, familiar with these tricks, pondered these matters, and decided... to deliver the final blow to Danzo's plan.
Of course, it was also to deliver another blow to Itachi.
Danzo, with his deep cunning, couldn't be forced for now.
The one who could be forced was Itachi.
As long as Itachi... wasn't arrested by the Anbu and didn't go to the Anbu prison, his plan would succeed.
What did he mean?
Itachi, the place you should go is not prison, but to leave Konoha!
So, Naruto immediately shouted, "When Big Brother Shisui came to me before, he told me... a fellow member of the Uchiha Clan, a man named Kahara Uchiha, was killed by Itachi..."
Everyone: "!!!"
Itachi: "?!"
Faced with Naruto's sudden new revelation, everyone naturally believed it subconsciously.
After all, it was Naruto who had brought them here.
Kahara Uchiha.
A Genin of the Uchiha Clan, who guarded the warehouse gate for the Police Force.
He was killed by two of Danzo's subordinates, and Yakushi Nonou took his place, using the Face-Stealing Jutsu to infiltrate the Uchiha Clan and personally participate in their secret meetings.
Naruto throwing out this information now was to increase Itachi's guilt and to pressure him further.
"At that time, I didn't believe it, but now it seems... sure enough, you killed Kahara Uchiha too, didn't you!"
Naruto accused him with all his might.
"Because Kahara Uchiha discovered the secret of your evil nature, you wanted to silence him... Big Brother Shisui found out that the current Kahara Uchiha was a fake, so he pretended to talk to you, wanting to stall until Uncle Fugaku and the others arrived, but... but... he still fell victim to your poisonous hand!"
We couldn't make it in time!
Naruto beat his chest and stomped his feet, a look of pain and regret on his face.
His expression and acting were directly at their peak.
"..."
Itachi, falsely accused by Naruto, felt as if struck by lightning.
Uchiha Fugaku said something to his subordinates.
Then, everyone simultaneously looked at the team.
And at this moment, in the team... Kahara Uchiha, who was just a Genin but had come to join the commotion, instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.
"..."
Kahara Uchiha, with a pale face, trembled like a sieve under the gaze of so many powerful figures.
"Kahara... are you truly Kahara Uchiha?!"
Faced with Uchiha Fugaku's interrogation, Kahara Uchiha was so scared he almost peed his pants.
"I, I..."
Just then, Kahara Uchiha's mouth suddenly curved into a strange smile.
"Whether it is or not... you should ask my original body!"
Bang!
Suddenly, Kahara Uchiha disappeared, turning into a puff of smoke... right before everyone's eyes... Shadow Clone... Jutsu!
However, the Shadow Clone Jutsu is B-rank, and the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu is A-rank.
Kahara Uchiha was just a Uchiha dead last Geninwho hadn't even awakened his Sharingan!
How could he possibly know such an advanced Ninjutsu!
So, in an instant, everyone turned their gaze to Itachi.
Because when Itachi was six years old, in the second half of his Ninja Academy year, he had already mastered the B-rank Shadow Clone!
The Shadow Clone Jutsu, invented by the Second Hokage, makes it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, and is completely indistinguishable from the original body.
Which is to say.
