Chapter 74 Uchiha Itachi, you've been expelled from the Uchiha clan!
In stark contrast to the warm atmosphere inside the school, a shocking tragedy erupted within the Uchiha clan compound.
Yes, in the morning, a member of the Uchiha clan noticed that his neighbor had not returned home.
Although my former neighbors used to go out at night to hang out with a group of older people, they would always come back late at night and would still turn on the lights in the morning.
This caught the attention of the concerned neighbor. What could be the reason that his neighbor was not coming home at night?
Is it the wolf's allure? Or the snake's sexiness?
So, following the usual route of his neighbor, he headed towards the Nanga Shrine.
As he walked, he discovered that he wasn't the only one with the problem of older neighbors not returning home at night; many of his fellow clansmen were heading to the Nanga Shrine with curiosity.
However, a tragedy occurred ahead.
"Blood! It's blood!!!"
Uchiha Isamu's body trembled slightly; the scene before him dealt a severe blow to his soul.
The Naka Shrine was filled with blood, and there were severe burn marks all around, but there were no corpses of clansmen.
Upon entering the shrine, a man dressed in a black robe sat on a chair.
Hearing Ye's shouts, the tribesmen behind him hurriedly followed and were equally stunned by the tragic scene before them.
"What exactly happened?"
"Where is the Grand Elder?"
"How could such a thing happen within the clan?"
As the controversy unfolded, the clansmen activated their Sharingan in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
"That person! It's Itachi!"
A member of the clan spotted the Itachi Uchiha sitting on the stone chair at the shrine, a look of confusion and surprise flashing in his eyes.
What puzzled them was why their clan leader's eldest son, Uchiha Itachi, was here; what delighted them was that Itachi was here, and he must know what had happened.
"You're here."
Itachi opened his eyes and raised his head, which had been hanging down for a long time.
Last night, I went to see my father one last time.
At the time, his father did not blame him. When he learned that he had become the leader of the new Root, he was even... somewhat happy?
However, his actions were indeed unforgivable.
To make up for his guilt, Itachi decided to punish himself.
That is it!!!
I, Itachi Uchiha, will never be an Uchiha again!!!
"Last night, the elder led a group of extremists from the clan to hold a meeting here to rebel against the village."
"And I, along with my men, will annihilate every Uchiha clan member present!"
Itachi's voice wasn't quiet, but it had a deep quality.
However, when these words reached the ears of the tribespeople, it was as if the neighbor's cow had climbed a tree—absolutely impossible.
"Itachi, how could you do such a thing? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Uchiha forced a smile onto his stiff face, while trying to reach out and tug at Itachi's shoulder.
That is indeed the case.
The kaleidoscope in Itachi's eyes spun once, and the next second he found himself in a completely crimson world.
In this world, he witnessed everything that happened last night, from the Grand Elder losing his head to the outcome.
Everything is true.
"Are you kidding me!"
Ye's body trembled, and the three tomoe in his eyes spun wildly, forcefully breaking through Itachi's Tsukuyomi.
This is also related to the fact that Itachi did not deliberately make things difficult for him.
"Hey, Ye, are you alright?"
The clansmen behind him caught Uchiha Ye, who was about to fall. At that moment, his eyes were filled with rage.
"Itachi, he, he really did such a thing."
He pointed his finger at the man sitting on the stone chair.
"How could you do this to your own people?"
Is that really the case?
Itachi didn't feel much emotional fluctuation.
Perhaps the moment he made up his mind to become the leader of the Root, there was no turning back.
"That's the truth. What are your plans now?"
"Leave here, or do you want to kill me?"
Itachi spoke calmly, as a fiery red skeleton appeared around his body, and an aura of pressure emanated from Itachi and spread outwards.
"Is nobody here? Then I'll be going."
"From now on, there will be no more Uchiha Itachi."
Itachi's long hair fluttered in the wind as he stood up from the stone chair and walked towards the crowd.
As he approached, Susanoo gradually grew larger, eventually piercing through the top of the entire shrine.
"That's a Mangekyou Sharingan!"
The discerning Uchiha immediately recognized Itachi's eyes, from which blood tears flowed.
These are the eyes recorded in the history of the Uchiha clan, the Mangekyou Sharingan, possessing unparalleled power.
"How is that possible? How could he have eyes like that!"
One of the clansmen shouted angrily after the weasel left.
"But we don't have the power to stop him, do we?"
A silence spread among this group of Uchiha.
Yes, apart from Fugaku, no one in the Uchiha clan now has the power to rival Itachi.
Moreover, they didn't have the courage.
Yes, the courageous Uchiha were the first to confront the weasel.
"So what should we do?"
"The Grand Elder and the others just died like that?"
"Go find the clan chief!"
"Yes, go find the clan chief!"
Fugaku: Hmm, let me think.
There are probably a dozen or so ways to explain, a dozen or so ways to apologize, and a dozen or so ways to make the straightforward guy disappear unexpectedly.
After all, it was his son's choice, and as a father, he had to offer his support.
He had entrusted all his troubles to his father, but now it seemed he had no reason to call him father anymore.
The wind blew through his loose hair, and the rising sun cast its light on his face.
The light shone through the area, creating a contrast of light and dark against his black robe.
"Sasuke."
Sasuke should be out of bed by now and going to school obediently, right?
They might even run into Naruto.
A slight smile played on his lips, and his eyes flashed with affection and regret.
I wonder what Sasuke will think when he comes back tonight and finds out I'm gone.
"Hey, Chief, we're heading back to our roots!"
Tenzo, who had been busy with woodworking all night, came over.
Sigh, I didn't expect the Third Hokage to still transfer me here, with the excuse that: Itachi has just become the leader and doesn't have enough people under him, so you can help Itachi over there for a while.
Although Tenzo was speechless about this, he never expected to return to the Root after leaving for two years.
However, this leader is surprisingly quite good.
"Okay, let's go."
Itachi nodded as he watched Tenzo approach, then walked toward the dark Root.
As footsteps sounded, another soul awoke from the Pure Land and slowly flew into Itachi's stomach.
Unbeknownst to them, seal marks gradually formed on Itachi's stomach.
