Chapter 79 Accomplices
In the woods surrounding the Uchiha clan's territory, two figures stood silently in the shadows where the moonlight could not reach.
One of them wore a distinctive fox mask, his robes fluttering slightly in the wind—it was Menma, the leader of the [Ember] organization.
Standing beside him was a man completely wrapped in a black cloak, also wearing a fox mask, but his right eye was noticeably sunken behind the mask, making him look particularly out of place.
Beneath the mask, Shisui's left eye darted nervously, glancing occasionally at Menma beside him, his gaze a mixture of awe and wariness.
What methods did this man use...?
His left eye—the eye that should have lost its sight forever—could now clearly see every leaf under the moonlight. But Shisui knew perfectly well that this was not his original Mangekyou Sharingan, but just an ordinary eye with no special abilities.
This is Menma's newly acquired ability, the ability of the Gold Experience, which allows him to create life. However, Menma has only restored Shisui's left eye; his right eye remains empty. But tonight, this empty eye will be of great use.
Recalling the scene of the "treatment," Shisui still felt a chill. At that time, having lost his sight, he only felt a strange energy flowing through his body, followed by...
pain.
No, it couldn't even be described as "pain." In that instant, he felt as if he were experiencing "death" itself—his body was utterly shattered.
But just as the pain was about to erupt, everything returned to normal. When his vision returned, he saw Menma putting a glass jar into his sleeve. Inside the jar were wriggling black worms, the very poisonous insects that the Aburame clan had implanted in his body.
That kind of medical treatment...
Shisui's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. Even the legendary Sannin, Tsunade, probably couldn't pulverize and reassemble a human body in an instant, could she?
After a while, a figure appeared silently in the forest.
The ANBU uniform, the long black hair, and those deep, unfathomable eyes—Uchiha Itachi. Her gaze instantly locked onto the two people standing in the forest.
"...The [Jin] organization?" Itachi's voice was low and cold. "What is your purpose here?"
Menma tilted his head slightly, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth beneath the fox mask. "If I were to appear in a village..."
"If there's nothing inside that interests me, then there's only one objective. Can I interpret this as a war?"
Before he finished speaking, Itachi's eyes changed—his crimson Sharingan instantly spun, the tomoe twisted and rearranged, and finally turned into a complex pattern, slowly rotating like a shuriken.
Kaleidoscope Sharingan.
"Itachi...you've awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan?!" Shisui's emotions were a mixture of shock and joy. He had been worried about whether Itachi's strength was enough to bear the darkness alone, but now, that worry could finally be put aside.
However, the next second, a complex emotion welled up in his heart—he knew what the price of the Mangekyou Sharingan was.
"I advise you not to act rashly." Menma's tone remained calm, but in that instant—
"Swish! Swish! Swish—!"
Nine dark figures suddenly appeared all around, swirling around like ghosts. They were in various postures, some crouching on tree branches, some standing on the ground, and some hovering in mid-air.
Nine-faced beast.
This is a warning. If Itachi dares to make a move rashly, these guys will definitely not stand idly by.
Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan flickered slightly before slowly fading back to its normal three-tomoe form. She knew these guys' strength very well—they had once held back the entire Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu, including even the Third Hokage.
"No, you've misunderstood," Itachi said again. "What I need to do now is to completely stop this civil war."
Her gaze was fixed on Menma. "—【Jin】, since your goal is to end the war, then I need you to do something for me."
How to completely stop the civil war?
Shisui was completely baffled. Now? At a time like this? What method had Itachi come up with?
Menma was silent for a moment. He knew Itachi's intentions perfectly well—Obito had already been driven away by him, and now Itachi's gaze had turned to him.
"To end the civil war completely, and... all the signs of it."
"I will annihilate the entire Uchiha clan."
Her tone remained unwavering. "There are some troublesome guys who need your help. As payment, you can take the dead man's eyes as you please."
...What? Shisui's thoughts froze for a moment. Itachi...what did she just say?
Annihilate the Uchiha clan? Wipe out the entire clan?
His body reacted before he could think—his muscles tensed, his legs buckled, and he almost lunged forward to confront him. However, the next second—
"Smack."
Menma's hand steadily blocked his way, and only then did Shisui suddenly realize that he had unconsciously wanted to rush forward.
"I'm sorry, but my subordinate is a bit sentimental." Menma's tone carried a subtle hint of coldness.
"However... your choice is quite surprising. Extermination of the clan? Just eliminating the hawks of the Uchiha clan should be enough to stop the civil war, right?"
Itachi's gaze remained unwavering. "...No. The Uchiha clan is beyond saving now. I've completely lost faith in this clan's capacity for change."
"This is the only way to completely sever the chains of hatred."
To completely sever ties?
Mianma suppressed the surging displeasure within him.
This kind of logic, so extreme as to be almost distorted, makes one's values feel shaken just by listening to it.
"So... you're going to completely ruin the Uchiha clan's future?"
Itachi shook his head.
"No. When our clan is wiped out, I will leave one person behind—my sister, Zuoyue."
Her gaze softened slightly for a moment, but it vanished in an instant, returning to its icy coldness. "Therefore, apart from Satsuki... you can freely take anyone's Sharingan."
But then Itachi's voice rang out again, this time filled with undeniable killing intent— "However, if you dare to attack Satsuki… even if your summoned beasts attack Konoha—"
"I will never let you go."
Menma's fingertips trembled slightly, and chakra flowed quietly within his body. He wanted to subdue Itachi directly, but a more troublesome problem surfaced in his mind—how could Sasuke awaken his Sharingan?
Must we completely overturn her fate and forever protect her in a greenhouse, turning her into a canary that can never spread her wings?
Satsuki is one of only two geniuses in the world whose talent can reach the Six Paths level... Oh well! I can always atone to her later!
"I promise you." Menma's voice finally broke the silence. "Leave the entire Uchiha clan to me; I'll handle it cleanly."
Of course, this was a lie to Da Xiao Nu; Menma would never do such a thing.
Itachi's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Everyone? Her original plan was just to have Menma deal with those Uchiha Jonin...
"Don't misunderstand." Menma seemed to see through her thoughts, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth beneath the mask. "It seems you don't know, I don't want to be facing a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan right now."
"While I'm cleaning up... I'm asking you to block the Uchiha clan leader's Mangekyou Sharingan."
