Naruto Paradise: An Evil Uchiha's Rise-Chapter 96: Sharingans for Sale: Slightly Used
Chapter 96 - Sharingans for Sale: Slightly Used
"Where is this?"
After entering Uchiha Mikoto's exclusive Instance, Uchiha Kage found himself once again in the Uchiha Clan Grounds of several years past.
Familiar buildings, a familiar atmosphere.
It almost made Uchiha Kage think he was experiencing a continuation of the Nine-Tails Disturbance.
"So, where is Mikoto now?"
Uchiha Kage appeared inside a familiar mansion.
But not only was Mikoto not there, neither were Fugaku Uchiha and the others.
"Should I ask someone, or..."
Activating his Byakugan to survey the surroundings, Uchiha Kage quickly spotted several figures in his field of vision.
Members of the Uchiha clan were approaching him.
"Hey, you're here for the Unnamed Meeting tonight, right? Put on this mask!"
The man glanced at Uchiha Kage's clothes and tossed him an ordinary Oni Mask.
He probably mistook him for someone else.
"Unnamed Meeting?"
Uchiha Kage caught the mask.
"The Anbu have been monitoring us closely lately. Wear a mask, reveal your Sharingan - that's tonight's password."
Only those who could activate the Sharingan were recognized as Uchiha ninjas.
"Got it."
An Unnamed Meeting where they wear masks?
So, not all the Uchiha were willing to stage a coup.
Uchiha Kage took the mask and put it on, then shook his head, took it off, and replaced it with the mask Uchiha Mikoto had given him last time.
Illusionary Technique: Sharingan!
Taking advantage of the approaching Uchiha ninjas' inattention, Uchiha Kage easily controlled them with his Illusionary Technique and extracted recent intelligence about the Uchiha clan from them.
"I see, this Instance is most likely the Night of the Massacre..."
Ignoring the ninjas who had fainted on the ground due to his Illusionary Technique, Uchiha Kage sensed his surroundings and quickly vanished from the spot.
----
"Itachi, don't go to the clan's meeting, understand?"
"Yes."
"And don't listen to Fugaku. Spend more time with Sasuke when you have time. The Konoha Higher-Ups will take care of the village's affairs..."
"Yes, Mama."
Mama still treats me like a child...
But sadly...
Shisui was already dead. Danzo and the Third Hokage, the Konoha Upper Echelon, could no longer sit idly by as the Uchiha clan gathered daily, clamoring for a coup.
To prevent Konoha Village from being destroyed, to protect Sasuke...
Although Uchiha Itachi outwardly nodded and smiled at Uchiha Mikoto, he had already made a certain decision in his heart.
He was the only one in the clan who possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, only he could do it.
Forgive me, Mama.
It's all for the village and Sasuke. I believe you can understand.
"Remember to pick Sasuke up from school today. Mama's going to buy groceries and make you a big dinner when I get back."
"Yes."
Watching his mother wave at him in the bright sunlight, Uchiha Itachi smiled and slowly turned to leave.
I almost forgot...
But now, he would ask the Hokage to have school let out later tonight.
"What a good child. It seems impossible that the kind of...cruel Future Kage and the others spoke of could ever happen."
Watching the grown-up Uchiha Itachi disappear little by little into the shadows around the corner, Uchiha Mikoto revealed a look of relief.
Uchiha Itachi's politeness, obedience, and understanding pleased her greatly.
If my older sister were still alive, she would be proud of this child too.
"But...speaking of Kage, it's been several years since then, and he hasn't appeared again. I wonder how long I'll have to wait to see him again..."
And then there's that Uchiha Fugaku...
At the thought of Uchiha Fugaku, Mikoto couldn't help but furrow her beautiful brow.
The Uchiha clan had become what it was today not only because of the Konoha Higher-Ups, but also because this unreliable Clan Head bore a large part of the responsibility.
He was constantly yielding to the Third Hokage and Danzo, the Konoha Upper Echelon, outside the clan, while inside the clan, he was constantly encouraging and allowing clan members to gather.
Recently, he had been acting fanatically, saying that he would soon possess the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan... Was he really planning to launch a coup in Konoha?
Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but feel anxious.
Thinking about these worries, she lost the mood to even buy groceries and bargain with the shopkeeper.
"It's a pity that even Kushina is gone..."
Uchiha Mikoto couldn't find anyone to confide in about the worries weighing on her heart.
This was also why she had become increasingly melancholy recently.
"Kage, if you don't show up again, I'm going to turn..."
Although her skin was still supple and her face was still beautiful, Uchiha Mikoto was still worried about her age and body.
Especially without Uchiha Kage's nourishment, not only her heart, but even her skin had become somewhat dry.
"Turn into what?"
Sensing the Flying Thunder God Technique mark, Uchiha Kage quickly arrived near Uchiha Mikoto.
Then, he finally saw her figure on the Street of Konoha Village.
Compared to last time, Mikoto had become even more mature.
Her figure had become more voluptuous, and her face had a thick, unresolved melancholy.
Coupled with her plain black and white dress... She was practically the perfect embodiment of 'wanting to be pretty in mourning clothes.'
"Turn old..."
She was already in her late twenties, almost thirty. In a few more years, Kage might think she was old.
Mikoto replied subconsciously.
Then, she froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
This familiar voice, and this...
She had personally put this mask on him, she had longed for this figure day and night, had once explored...
Before she could even completely turn around, Uchiha Mikoto's eyes had already begun to fill with tears.
"How could you get old? My Mikoto will always be young and beautiful."
Taking off his mask, Uchiha Kage skillfully embraced the beautiful woman before him.
"Sorry, I made you wait so long again."
"No...it's okay..."
Shaking her head, Mikoto, her face covered in tears, gently put the mask back on Uchiha Kage's face.
"This is the street. People will see your face."
Being able to see him again, she wouldn't think it was long even if she waited ten thousand years.
"I'll take you away now."
The exclusive Instance had no mission prompts, but Uchiha Kage already knew what he had to do.
"Yes!"
Holding back the surging tears, Uchiha Mikoto embraced Uchiha Kage's arm with a sweet expression, then gently leaned her head on her lover's shoulder.
"Take me away... Are we leaving Konoha?"
"I don't know, but we'll definitely never be separated again in the Future."
Although it had only been a day for him, it had been several years for Mikoto before she saw him again.
Thinking about the suffering she had endured, Uchiha Kage couldn't help but feel even more pity for Mikoto.
"What about Sasuke, and Itachi..."
"Don't worry about Sasuke. As for Itachi, he's going to do some bad things today."
If he remembered correctly, it was today that Uchiha Itachi would massacre the clan tonight.
It was also today that the younger 'him' would travel from Senju Tobirama's era to this place.
According to the rule that the same person cannot appear in the same space-time twice, Uchiha Kage suddenly felt that time was running short.
"No, I've been teaching Itachi well all these years. He won't be like the Future you spoke of, going to..."
Unconsciously, Uchiha Kage and Uchiha Mikoto had walked into a deserted alley.
"I'll take you to see the truth later, but now..."
Pinning the pretty Married woman against the wall of the alley, Uchiha Kage and the equally emotional Mikoto gazed tenderly at each other, then simultaneously moved their lips closer.
"Mmm..."
Like dry firewood meeting a raging fire.
Uchiha Mikoto didn't have time, nor did she have the energy to think about Uchiha Itachi's affairs. She could only rely on her instinct and habit to wrap her arms around Uchiha Kage's neck, and then, as if wanting to merge herself into his body, she forcefully catered to him.
"Now, I just want to bully you properly, Mikoto."
"Mmm..."
After taking a short breath, the two kissed each other again.
----
"Itachi, don't listen to the Third Hokage's sweet talk. At this critical moment, he will still choose to protect Konoha."
Inside a secret room used exclusively by the Konoha Upper Echelon.
Danzo, his entire face shrouded in shadow, looked at Uchiha Itachi, who was kneeling in front of him.
"The Village now wants you to make a decision. Are you going to die with the Uchiha clan in the coup, or..."
"My brother, Sasuke... I only have this one request."
Uchiha Itachi raised his face. The three-tomoe Sharingan in his eyes was slowly unsheathing.
"Yes, as long as you assist in killing all the Uchiha clan members..."
Seeing that Uchiha Itachi had no intention of choosing to be an enemy of the Village, Danzo's heart also relaxed slightly.
The Root Member hidden in the darkness also relaxed its tense posture.
"The Village and the clan..."
Hearing that he needed to kill all the Uchiha clan members, Uchiha Itachi's heart was slightly startled.
But he quickly calmed down again.
For the sake of the Village, he shouldn't leave any unstable factors behind.
"The only ninja who can take on this important task is you, Uchiha Itachi, who is a double agent for both Konoha and the Uchiha!"
Danzo decided to push the seemingly hesitant Uchiha Itachi a little more.
"If you hesitate, I will personally... Then your brother..."
"I'm not hesitating. I just hope you can keep your promise."
Standing up.
Uchiha Itachi put on his Anbu Mask, revealing only a pair of Scarlet Sharingan.
That's right, now that things had come to this, the only person who could prevent a conflict between the Uchiha and the Village was him, Uchiha Itachi.
"Very good. I hope you don't disappoint the Village!"
Seeing that Uchiha Itachi had made a decision, Danzo also revealed a gratified expression.
The Uchiha clan, the people of the clan, what a huge collection of Sharingan that would be...
Moreover, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who prided himself on being upright and just, wouldn't compete with him for this batch of Sharingan.
In fact, he wouldn't even need to do it himself...
"Tonight will definitely be a wonderful night."
After Uchiha Itachi's figure disappeared, Danzo turned around and issued subsequent orders to his Root.
And all of this was seen by Uchiha Kage and Uchiha Mikoto, who were hidden in the shadows.
Using Transparency Release and the Kamui Sharingan ability he obtained from Obito's ninja fragments, Uchiha Kage brought Mikoto all the way here with Uchiha Itachi.
Then, from beginning to end, they witnessed the entire process of Danzo and Uchiha Itachi finalizing the Uchiha extermination incident.
"Itachi... How could he..."
Mikoto's eyes were full of disbelief.
She had clearly been working hard to guide Uchiha Itachi to the right path, but the result was still...
"There's nothing to be troubled about. Some people's personalities are determined from birth. This isn't your fault."
Uchiha Kage comforted her.
"But..."
Mikoto wanted to immediately go and stop Uchiha Itachi.
"Then let's give him one more chance."
Seeing the thought in Mikoto's eyes, Uchiha Kage didn't say much. He once again used the Kamui transfer ability to appear in front of Uchiha Itachi, who was rushing to the Uchiha Clan Grounds.
With him around, Itachi couldn't possibly touch a single hair on Mikoto's head.
However, just to be safe, Uchiha Kage still had Mikoto use a Shadow Clone to contact Uchiha Itachi.
----
"Mama?"
Tonight was another full moon night.
Looking up at the sky, Uchiha Itachi took a deep breath.
This chapt𝒆r is updated by frёewebηovel.cѳm.
The gate of the Uchiha Clan Grounds was already in front of him.
But what he didn't expect was that his mother, who usually stayed at home, would be the first to appear in front of him.
"Itachi, you're only a teenager. Don't get involved in the Village's affairs. The Hokage and Fugaku, as the Clan Head, will take care of everything. Don't listen to that Danzo's nonsense."
Mikoto walked step by step to Uchiha Itachi.
Looking at this child, who was once a baby in swaddling clothes, grow into the slender teenager he was now, she was feeling disappointment for the first time in this child.
"It's not too late to turn back now. Mama will go with you to find the Third Hokage. As long as the Hokage doesn't want the Village to rebel, he definitely won't allow such an extreme method to... handle the Uchiha."
As long as the Hokage had the intention to negotiate with the Uchiha, Mikoto felt that with Fugaku's personality, he definitely wouldn't go so far as to lead the entire clan in rebellion.
Even if Fugaku had become paranoid because he seemed to have obtained the Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Mama, it's you who doesn't understand politics and the affairs between adults. The Village and the Uchiha are already irreconcilable. This is the only way to protect Sasuke."
Uchiha Itachi knew that his mother would come out to dissuade him. This might be the biggest test he would face tonight.
But, it was only a test.
He had already made a decision and wouldn't change it.
"Sorry, please let me... kill you, Mama."
Before the words could fade.
Uchiha Itachi drew his Ninja Sword at an imperceptible speed and pierced through the body of his mother, who had raised him for more than a dozen years.
Poof!
Mikoto, who was pierced by the Ninja Sword, shed tears, then disappeared in a cloud of white smoke.
"A Shadow Clone? It's useless, Mama. If I leave you behind, Sasuke will die."
After leaving these words, Uchiha Itachi also shed crocodile tears, then rushed into the unsuspecting Uchiha Clan Grounds, which was still holding the meeting.
And there, Uchiha Obito, who had already agreed with him and also wanted to get a share of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, was carrying out the same massacre as him.
Unlike the red moon of the Nine-Tails Disturbance, tonight's moon was bright white, but the ground was full of Scarlet liquid.
----
"Mikoto, my time is running out."
Although Uchiha Kage had also thought about whether stopping Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito here would change everything.
But after thinking about Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, those two old schemers, he gave up.
With his current strength, the probability of completely killing these people in a short period of time was not high...
What's more, now - probably because the younger 'him' was about to travel from Senju Tobirama's era to this place, he was beginning to feel that his body was on the verge of shattering.
"Then we..."
Looking at Uchiha Kage, whose body was becoming somewhat illusory, Mikoto, who had just suffered Itachi's betrayal and fallen into despair, became even more flustered.
"It's okay. I'll take you away in the same way I took Kushina."
The Nine-Tails Disturbance Instance reminded Uchiha Kage of the way to take Mikoto away from this Night of the Massacre Instance.
The exclusive Instance had no mission prompts, but Uchiha Kage felt in his heart that this exclusive Instance only had this one solution.
"Mmm..."
Wiping away her tears, Mikoto leaned into Uchiha Kage's arms with a sense of relief and worry.
"Sasuke, he..."
But soon, Mikoto thought of Sasuke, who she didn't know was at school or in the Clan Grounds.
"I'll appear in the Clan Grounds soon, but as the young me, but 'he' will also find a way to protect Sasuke well. Don't worry."
Remembering the days when he and Sasuke supported each other in the dilapidated Uchiha Clan Grounds in his early years, Uchiha Kage transmitted his Chakra to Mikoto while using Illusionary Technique to play the scene of himself and Sasuke growing up together, so that Mikoto could also feel at ease.
"So that's how you and Sasuke were together..."
Watching Uchiha Kage and Uchiha Sasuke, who were clearly father and son, but grew up together like brothers, Mikoto finally smiled through her tears.
The Uchiha Clan Grounds in the distance were still being massacred by Uchiha Itachi. This was the only place where she could find comfort.
"And...even those clan members who died might be resurrected in the Future."
Although he no longer had the ability to intervene in the direction of the Night of the Massacre, Uchiha Kage had left his Shadow Clone in the clan beforehand.
It was originally for insurance, but now it could be used to collect Souls.
At the same time, he could also see the upcoming emotionally distant father-son scene.
Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi...
Would they decide life and death without any dispute, just like in the original story?
---- ----
"How weak. Is this the current Uchiha clan?"
Obito, wearing a mask, was emotionlessly exterminating the Uchiha clan members who were still running away while collecting the Sharingan from the dead.
"That's because you're killing old people and children."
Uchiha Itachi watched Obito's actions coldly.
The clan members were all dead. Leaving these Sharingan to the Konoha Higher-Ups would only strengthen that Danzo, so giving them to this Masked Man... was no different.
They were all birds of a feather.
"Leave the people in front to me. You don't need to take action anymore."
Looking at the lit-up residence in front, Uchiha Itachi knew that someone was waiting for him there.
"Family members? I understand."
Obito smiled coldly and went to other places.
Everything in this cruel Ninja World was false; there was no hope and no Future.
And Uchiha Itachi couldn't see through this point. How laughable.
And Minato from several years ago was also...
Laughable.
----
"Father, I have already awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. You have no chance of winning."
As usual, he pushed open the door.
Uchiha Itachi dragged his bloody longsword and walked step by step to Uchiha Fugaku's room.
Mama isn't home? Did she escape?
No, maybe she was already killed by that Masked Man.
"You..."
Looking at the Mangekyo Sharingan in Uchiha Itachi's eyes, Uchiha Fugaku's face was first shocked, then revealed a happy expression, but in the end, he sighed.
"My eyes can't even defeat that guy's Shadow Clone. You... Itachi, if it's you, you can definitely deal with that guy!"
Even though he knew that the son he had raised with his own hands had chosen to stand on Konoha's side and chose to massacre the entire clan.
But Uchiha Fugaku was now more concerned about the Mangekyo Sharingan in his son's eyes.
"That guy... who is he?"
Looking at his father, who he had been with for more than a dozen years, Uchiha Itachi didn't kill him instantly like he had done with the others. Instead, he had a lot more patience.
"He's a guy wearing a mask. He awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan at a very young age, and he made me..."
Just now, Uchiha Fugaku had discovered Uchiha Kage's figure in the clan. He wanted to rush up to take revenge, even thinking that after defeating the other party, he could gather the other party's strength, and then let the other party complete the coup with him.
Then, not only Konoha, but Mikoto would also return to his side.
But unexpectedly, with just one glance, his Mangekyo Sharingan, which had only recently awakened, fell into a disadvantage.
Just like several years ago, he still couldn't muster any thoughts of resistance and had already been defeated.
In fact, it wasn't until he discovered that the other party's figure had turned into white smoke and disappeared that he realized that it was actually just the other person's Shadow Clone that had defeated him.
"Itachi, if it's you, you can definitely defeat him! Just treat it as your father's last wish."
After saying these words, Uchiha Fugaku took the initiative to walk under Uchiha Itachi's sword.
"Okay..."
Is Father talking about that Masked Man?
Uchiha Itachi also felt that he would face the Masked Man who helped him massacre the clan sooner or later.
When that time came, he would find a way to repay his father for his upbringing over the past dozen years.
