Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan
chapter-308

Standing in the corridor, Itachi noticed Fugaku’s helpless sigh and asked with a worried tone, “Otou-san, is everything all right?”

Fugaku folded his arms around his chest and said, “Itachi, thankfully you rescued Sasuke from the hands of Akatsuki, otherwise I don’t know what might have happened to him.”

When Fugaku learned that his younger son Sasuke was almost kidnapped by a member of Akatsuki under the chaos of that night, Fugaku was both shocked, panicked, and angry.

He doesn’t know what he might have done or how he would have faced Mikoto should something have happened to Sasuke.

Moreover, Fugaku is also frustrated at the shamelessness of these Akatsuki and Amatsukami members. The glorious, noble, and dignified Uchiha Clan, from who everyone fears have now become a vegetable market, anyone wants an Uchiha, just come and take away an Uchiha Shinobi, you want a pair of Sharingan? Just go to Uchiha Clan and you can find a pair of freshly harvested Sharingan, there is also the rare variety of Mangekyou Sharingan, if you can’t take them away, then just incite those awakeners, they will follow you, and bam you get a pair of freshly cultivated Mangekyou Sharingan.

Firstly, Shinichi & Kurumi, then there is also Ho Musubi, next Ryota, and Hideki, after which Hiiragi was kidnapped by Akatsuki, then an unknown Uchiha Tsukihi appears and sacrifices herself and now Sasuke was almost kidnapped by another member of Akatsuki if this is not a vegetable market than what is?

And Fugaku as the Patriarch is helpless, which is making him extremely annoyed.

Itachi shook his head slightly and said, “It’s my responsibility to protect Sasuke, I would do so at all cost!”

“As expected of my son!” – the stern Fugaku showed a rare smile. ‘At least, my family is safe for now!’ – was Fugaku’s thought.

Fugaku knows of Itachi’s talent, and if nothing too unexpected happens, Itachi will surely grow into another Uchiha whose strength is no inferior to Shisui, and as the next generation of the Uchiha Clan grows into strong individuals one-by-one, the value of Uchiha Clan in the village will again increase. The status of the clan which was lost will also be recovered slowly.

In that case, even if Hokage Faction wants to suppress the Uchiha Clan they will no longer be able to do so. After all, there is only Hatake Kakashi who could be a Hokage Candidate among the younger generation of the Shinobi.

But Fugaku knows this better than anyone than Hatake Kakashi because the Sharingan that he keeps with him will never be able to match Shisui and Itachi in their prime.

So Fugaku has considered many things over the past few months, and he no longer has any desire for the Coup.

The major reason for this is obviously the heavy pressure from the external enemies including Akatsuki and Amatsukami, especially with the new technique that Hiruko has created, which allows him to plunder other’s Kekkei Genkai.

If this technique were to get in the hands of others, the Uchiha Clan will be in extreme danger from all parties. After all, Sharingan is undoubtedly the most superior Kekkei Genkai. So, to ensure the safety of his clan, Fugaku has even regarded Hiruko as the number one enemy.

Of course, Fugaku did not know that his worries in regards to Hiruko’s techniques were almost unnecessary.

It’s because, the ritual ceremony conducted by Hiruko has too many requirements and variables that are difficult to be met by others, secrecy, time, location, manpower, willpower, and many other factors are involved, and even then, there is no guarantee as there is also the factor of luck.

Even Hiruko himself also almost died, and it was only because of the secret technique he got his hands on from Yomi that he actually managed to survive.

But since Fugaku did not know all about this, so it is natural for him to be worried.

Sighing lightly, Fugaku asked Itachi, “Where are you going?”

Itachi replied, “I am going to visit Shisui-san.”

Fugaku nodded and then added, “Shisui is under-recovery so he is not up to his full combat potential, so make sure to keep watch over his safety, I do not want to hear any sudden news about him suddenly going missing.”

Itachi nodded and then left.

…

Shisui’s house.

After listening to the entire story from Shisui, coupled with the information he obtained on his own, Kuroto concluded that Naruto wasn’t Obito’s goal from the beginning to end.

The reason he even bothered to kidnap Naruto was to draw Shisui out of the village along with the rest of the team-11, then had Hiruko pretend to be Uchiha Shisui and attempt to assassinate Sandaime-sama to ignite a civil war between the Hokage faction and Uchiha Clan.

If Obito’s conspiracy had actually succeeded, then I am afraid Konoha would have been finished.

In this chaos, Orochimaru’s motive was very simple, which was to acquire a perfect body, which was Uchiha Tsukihi but unfortunately, he failed, just like he will always do when it comes to Sharingan, so Kuroto didn’t really have anything to say in this regard.

But anyway, it was perhaps through Shinno that Orochimaru go to know of Akatsuki’s plan and decided to secretly reap some benefits by taking advantage of fire.

Shinno’s thoughts were probably the same, he also wanted to secretly swallow Shion to increase his strength by taking advantage of the chaos that Konoha was in at that time, but he also failed because of yours truly.

As for Shimura Danzo’s motive behind attacking Shisui? There was no need to even guess that.

Fortunately, things turned out well, and Sandaime figured out everything at the right time otherwise Konoha would have been swallowed in civil strife.

With everything clear, Shisui asked, “Kuroto-san, so, um, what should we do next?”

Kuroto observed Shisui’s physical state using his Byakugan, and after understanding, he said, “Rest for now, we will talk about our future plans after you are in your tip-top condition.”

Shisui quickly interjected, “Kuroto-san, my injury is nothing, Akatsuki is too dangerous to be left behind to their own devices!”

Kuroto flicked Shisui’s forehead and said while shaking his head, “We can’t be hasty when it comes to Akatsuki, their roots are much deeper than we think, for now, you should focus on your recovery, and we will discuss our future plans later.”

Shisui puffed his cheek in annoyance, then finally nodded, “Okay, fine!”

Kuroto nodded and after passing on one of the latest created poison antidotes, he left Shisui’s house, only to encounter Itachi who seemed to be here to visit Shisui.

Seeing Kuroto, Itachi hurriedly greeted, “Kuroto-san.”

Seeing Itachi, Kuroto smiled and nodded, “Ah, Itachi-Kun, how are you?”

Kuroto heard from Shisui that Uchiha Sasuke was abducted by Oto Yumie, who is officially a peripheral member of the Akatsuki Organization and Shinno’s subordinate. It’s just that none of the Uchiha shinobi or the villagers knows that the very same periphery member was the Snake Sannin Orochimaru, therefore they don’t particularly understand just how much danger Itachi was facing at that time, in fact, Itachi himself may not know this.

In the original story also, Itachi easily dealt with Orochimaru twice, but that was at the time when Itachi had awakened Mangekyou Sharingan and was also a few years older than he is now. So, him being able to rescue Sasuke and defeat Orochimaru at his current age is highly surprising, even for Kuroto.

Itachi looked around, then said lightly, “Kuroto-san, I have something to tell you.”

Kuroto nodded, and said, “All right, follow me!”

Not long after, Kuroto and Itachi came to the forest behind Uchiha Clan grounds, and after Kuroto made sure that no one was around, he nodded towards Itachi for him to speak whatever he wants to.

After a bit of silence, Itachi’s eyes showed a determined and after taking a deep breath he directly activated his Sharingan.

And the next instant, Itachi’s Sharingan changed from three tomoe Sharingan to three spiraling curves around the pupil.

Looking at those eyes, Kuroto was stunned, even he was a bit dazed, but quickly recovering he muttered, “You? Itachi-kun, you awakened Mangekyou Sharingan?”

Itachi deactivated his Mangekyou Sharingan and nodded, “Yes, the Kunoichi I fought that night was very powerful, I almost died several times in her hands, and it seems that I awakened these eyes at that time!”

Itachi actually did not know, it was at the moment when Oto Yumie took away his Otouto, he had already awakened Mangekyou Sharingan, this is because Shinno noticed the changed pattern in Itachi’s eyes when Itachi went after Oto Yumie.

But all that aside, Kuroto is really shocked to see those eyes, because Itachi awakened Mangekyou Sharingan almost a year earlier than he did in the original series.

Thinking so, Kuroto asked Itachi, “Did you kill her?”

Itachi nodded.

‘Is it even possible to kill Orochimaru?’ – thought Kuroto, because he can’t think of anyone being capable of killing Orochimaru.

So, after groaning a little, he asked, “Are you really sure that she is dead?”

Itachi hesitated a little, then explained, “I used the ocular power of my right eye, which is called ‘Amaterasu’ to burn her completely. ‘Amaterasu’ is the highest level of Fire Release and is capable of burning everything to ashes, therefore, she must be dead.”

‘So, ‘Amaterasu,’ huh?’ – Kuroto pondered a little and finally concluded that Orochimaru wouldn’t die from mere Amaterasu.

After all, if simply ‘Amaterasu’ was capable of killing Orochimaru then, in the original story, Itachi wouldn’t have used Totsuka Sword to seal Orochimaru into a Genjutsu world.

And Kuroto also thinks that aside from sealing, there is no other method to restrict Orochimaru, no matter what approach you use, he will come back.
