Chapter 135
Kahara Uchiha is dead.
And the Kahara Uchiha in everyone's eyes was actually Itachi disguised using a Shadow Clone!
"Kakashi! No! It's not like that at all!!!"
Itachi's roar at this moment was on the verge of collapse and madness.
His Mangekyo Sharingan gleamed with an eerie red light due to his extreme emotions.
"However, how could the inarticulate Uchiha Itachipossibly out-talk me, Uzumaki Naruto, with my 'mouth jutsu'?"
Naruto thought, intoxicated.
You're finished, weasel.
"Captain...!"
Just then, three more Ninja from the Uchiha Clanrushed over.
They whispered something into Uchiha Fugaku's ear.
Uchiha Fugaku's expression changed drastically.
"Itachi... you really..."
Under Uchiha Fugaku's explanation, everyone learned the full story.
It turned out that these three Uchiha Ninja had discovered some clues while on patrol today.
They followed the trail and found the corpse of the deceased Kahara Uchiha!
Of course.
The intelligence Uchiha Fugaku received, including the body, was all arranged by Naruto... through Yakushi Nonou.
Even the Kahara Uchiha Shadow Clone who had just been impersonating and acting so well was actually Yakushi Nonou's Shadow Clone.
The strongest 007 female Bond in the Ninja World. Her spy skills were naturally top-notch.
Acting was as easy as drinking water for her.
Naruto watched his plans unfold one by one, feeling immensely pleased.
At this point.
He would ensure Uchiha Itachi's death.
Burdened with multiple murder charges, he would no longer simply be interrogated.
One misstep, and his fate would be to be killed on the spot!
Of course, Uchiha Itachi could choose to surrender.
However, that was no longer possible.
"Uzumaki Naruto... Uzumaki Naruto!!!"
Itachi stared intently at Naruto, who had framed him, and understood everything in an instant.
Intense hatred made him want to tear Naruto into a million pieces and then grind his bones to dust!
"Itachi... surrender!"
Kakashi's expression beneath his mask became even more solemn, even carrying a faint killing intent.
Because who knew what other people Itachi might have harmed.
"No... I can't be caught..."
Itachi immediately thought to himself.
Because once he was caught, everything would be over!
No one would believe his explanation... there would be no chance to defend himself!
So, he had to run... he absolutely had to escape.
Only by escaping would he have a chance to expose Uzumaki Naruto's true face to everyone!
"He's going to run! Everyone!"
Naruto yelled, and everyone immediately became vigilant... Chapter 79. The Plot Gone Awry
"Uzumaki Naruto~~~!!!"
Itachi uttered Naruto's name in the most resentful tone of his life.
A sudden chilling wind swept through the forest.
Everyone was shaken by Itachi's resentment.
What kind of malice must have been behind those words.
Clearly... Naruto, who had exposed the truth, had become the object of Uchiha Itachi's hatred!
"Yamato, move!"
Anticipating further trouble, if Itachi wasn't caught, the Hokage's child would surely be in mortal danger. Kakashi... immediately ordered Yamato to act!
"Wood Release!"
So, Yamato no longer concealed himself, directly forming hand signs and extending trees growing from his body towards Itachi.
At the same time, Kakashi lunged out, rushing towards Itachi's flank at an extremely fast speed.
However... facing the combined efforts of Kakashiand Yamato, the grim-faced Itachi dodged and flew up.
Upon activating his Mangekyo Sharingan, his strength rapidly entered the Kage-level.
The Mangekyo's power fed back into his body, elevating his strength to an unimaginable level.
Itachi, already a genius, now displayed extraordinary talent.
His powerful performance allowed him to easily shake off the combined efforts of two of Anbu's most elite strongmen.
"What?!"
Kakashi and Yamato both missed.
By the time the others reacted, Itachi had already escaped into the forest.
"Chase him!!!"
Members of the Uchiha Military Police Force and Anbu Squad Six sprang into action.
Low shouts and the sounds of movement blended together... "Naruto..."
Uchiha Fugaku looked at Naruto with an unusually complex gaze.
Yūgao Uzuki stood beside Naruto, warning Uchiha Fugaku in a timely manner: "Mr. Fugaku, I hope you won't approach Naruto for now..."
This was to avoid suspicion.
And also to protect Uchiha Fugaku... Swish!
Swish!
In the forest.
Itachi moved at high speed.
His surging strength did not bring him joy; instead, it filled him with endless regret and hatred.
"Uzumaki Naruto... if it weren't for him..."
Bits and pieces of the past flashed through his mind.
Itachi's eyes were bloodshot, and his teeth were almost crushed.
All his efforts had been in vain, not only preventing him from suppressing the Uchiha coup.
But also, because of this, he was framed as a rogue Ninja by Uzumaki Naruto.
His long-held dream of becoming Hokage... Itachi, filled with extreme unwillingness, had not completely given up at this moment.
He decided to escape from here first, and then seize an opportunity to explain everything to Hokage-sama.
He believed Hokage-sama would surely give him justice!
Thinking this, Itachi immediately sped up, escaping from the area... The fallout of the incident rapidly escalated over the following period.
When the Konoha higher-ups learned the full story, they were undoubtedly extremely shocked.
Danzo was also among those who found it unbelievable.
He never expected it.
How could a situation with such a great advantage suddenly turn into a disadvantage?
After a brief thought, he understood everything.
It must have been Uzumaki Naruto's doing!
There was no other possibility!
He hadn't expected this kid to be so cunning! No... he should say, he had underestimated him.
"I never thought... that the underestimation caused by his age would actually cause the plan to eliminate the Uchiha to fail!"
Danzo immediately thought.
Itachi being forced to flee would surely lead to him being branded as brutal later, as kin-slaying was intolerable anywhere.
It was very likely that Itachi would even be forced to become a rogue Ninja afterward.
Once things turned out this way.
The Uchiha Clan's coup plan would be terminated.
Uchiha Fugaku, whose status had plummeted, would lose the trust of the Uchiha clansmen.
Perhaps... a new leader would be chosen.
And the Uchiha Clan itself would inevitably experience a long period of upheaval.
By then, busy dealing with internal relations and judgments, they would have no mind to carry out the coup plan... Danzo, having figured it out, took a deep breath, realizing the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's cunning from this series of nested schemes.
"That brat Uzumaki Naruto is countless times more insidious than his parents..."
Danzo recalled that Naruto should have inherited their naive sweetness and chuunibyo.
Yet... Uzumaki Naruto had grown up like this.
The origin of the problem was his own spreading of rumors that Uzumaki Naruto was the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.
Facing the hostility of the entire Village, wasn't it natural for Uzumaki Naruto to step into darkness?
In other words, he had shot himself in the foot!
His actions to tarnish the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's reputation had, instead, bred a demon.
