Part Time Employee in Konoha

Chapter 150: Night of Genocide

Naka Shrine.

Uchiha Obito is still waiting here.

Because, unless something unexpected happens, the Uchiha clan is about to launch a rebellion soon.

At that time, the Uchiha clan will certainly not be a match for Konoha. This would be a perfect opportunity to collect more Sharingan as backups for the Izanagi technique, and also to recruit Uchiha Itachi, whom he had long had his eye on.

"Obito."

A figure emerged, revealing a wide grin before reporting: "The young man has completed your mission. He will soon force Uchiha Itachi to defect. However, he has encountered some troubles; he needs to prove the power of Wood Release to the higher-ups of Konoha..."

"Tsk."

Uchiha Obito, with a disdainful turn of his head, coldly asked: "That brat always brings trouble. Does he want to have a big fight with Uchiha Itachi?"

"Indeed."

The figure nodded, smilingly saying: "The young man hopes that after Uchiha Itachi Defects, he can control Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage, who has had his chakra seal released, to create a disturbance with the Three-Tails, and then use Wood Release to defeat both the Three-Tails and Uchiha Itachi..."

"I see..."

Uchiha Obito looked up at the sky, agreeing indifferently: "Alright, but that brat might not be able to defeat Uchiha Itachi And the Three-Tails. The combination of the Mangeky Sharingan and the Tailed Beasts is not just about control..."

It wasn't that Uchiha Obito underestimated Akihara Kagura.

Over the past two years, Obito had been observing Itachi, well aware of his remarkable talent and knowing that Itachi had been secretly practicing Susanoo.

The Susanoo of the Uchiha clan and the Tailed Beasts could create an earth-shattering force, not something that Akihara Kagura's counterfeit Wood Release could deal with; the last person who managed to handle Susanoo and the Tailed Beasts together was Hashirama, the First Hokage.

However

Itachi and Akihara Kagura were well-matched opponents.

One had the incomplete Mangeky Sharingan and the relatively weak Three-Tails; the other had Wood Release through transplanted cells from Hashirama.

Uchiha Obito favored Itachi's Mangeky Sharingan, but Akihara Kagura had defeated the Pain puppet and also possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, barely a powerful enough piece...

It didn't matter who won or lost between these two. Whether Akihara Kagura suppressed Itachi or Itachi suppressed Akihara Kagura, it would be beneficial for Uchiha Obito.

Ideally...

These two disobedient subordinates would both suffer.

"I'll go catch Yagura now."

Uchiha Obito was eager to see this scenario: "After Itachi defects, I'll leave this task to him..."

After Obito finished speaking, he turned to the figure again: "By the way, tell Akihara Kagura, when he goes to suppress the Uchiha clan's rebellion, remember to spare the life of Itachi's brother, don't let that brat Uchiha Sasuke die."

This was important.

Because there might emerge a pair of Eternal Mangeky Sharingan between the brothers Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke, at which point the power of either Itachi or Sasuke would be greatly enhanced, serving their plan even more.

"Alright."

The figure then dove back underground.

Akihara Kagura also received this mission.

[System Prompt]: [New Mission (Uchiha Obito): Spare Uchiha Sasuke's life when suppressing the Uchiha clan's rebellion.]

This mission wasn't just a reward handed over on a silver platter?

Akihara Kagura didn't even need to take action himself.

A scroll appeared in the hands of Akihara Kagura, and with a puff of smoke, Tendo Shisui's figure stood beside Akihara Kagura. Accompanied by the chakra Akihara Kagura channeled into him, this Six Paths puppet was revived.

Under the dim light.

Akihara Kagura did not look at his puppet but instructed to himself, "It's not yet time to use you, but I believe this spectacle is indeed a rare sight..."

"What spectacle?"

Tendo Shisui was curious.

"The Uchiha clan is about to stage a coup."

Akihara Kagura's words immediately tensed Shisui's nerves, who then softly instructed, "Help me monitor Uchiha Itachi, and don't get discovered..."

"Do you want me to kill Itachi?"

Shisui's voice trembled slightly.

If Akihara Kagura controlled him to confront Uchiha Itachi, whom he almost regarded as a younger brother in life, it would be too painful for him.

"How could that be? I'm not some villain."

Akihara Kagura chuckled lightly and earnestly promised, "I won't let you kill Uchiha Itachi, at least not for now..."

"But..."

"Don't beg me."

Akihara Kagura tilted his head, looking at Tendo Shisui with a playful smile: "Don't ever come begging me, don't ask me to allow you to kill Uchiha Itachi..."

...

Shisui immediately relaxed.

As long as he wasn't asked to confront Uchiha Itachi, it didn't matter what Akihara Kagura asked him to do, and how could he possibly beg Akihara Kagura to kill Uchiha Itachi?

What a joke...

Even if Uchiha Itachi wanted to betray the Uchiha clan, Shisui could understand, because only he knew how heavy the burden of the family and the village was, which is why the living Shisui chose suicide due to being unable to bear it.

Akihara Kagura casually controlled Shisui's body to merge into the shadow below him: "I can let you sneak into the shadow, to monitor him from within."

...

Shisui's body completely vanished into the shadows.

Now, what Shisui was most concerned about was the situation. He wanted to know when the Uchiha clan would start the coup and what the outcome of the inevitable conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha clan would be.

Elsewhere.

Uchiha Itachi returned home, still thinking about the conversation with Shimura Danzo, as their talk was crucial to the fate of the Uchiha clan and Konoha.

"Don't be fooled by what Sarutobi Hiruzen says..."

"When it comes down to it, he will still choose to protect Konoha."

"Itachi, I hope you can make a choice..."

"Whether to stand with the Uchiha clan, participate in their rebellion, and then have all the Uchihas annihilated together..."

"Or choose to stand with Konoha, leave only your brother behind before the Uchiha rebellion, and help kill the rest of the Uchihas..."

"Kill all the Uchihas?"

"Correct."

"To protect the village, we must suppress the situation before the rebellion occurs, and the only ones who can shoulder this task are the double spies from both Uchiha and Konoha..."

"Itachi..."

"No one else but you is fit for this."

"Whether to choose the clan or the village..."

"If you don't act, Sarutobi Hiruzen will definitely have Akihara Kagura do it, and you should know the deep grudge you have..."

"You know how extreme Kagura's personality can be."

"Once the village has no choice but to send Akihara Kagura on the mission to annihilate the Uchiha, it won't be easy to resolve. Given what you once did to him, he definitely won't show mercy to the Uchiha, and your brother, Uchiha Sasuke, will surely not survive..."

""

Uchiha Itachi tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

However, his younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke, was unaware of this. The little guy liked to sleep in his brother's room, and at this moment, he was lying on the tatami mat next to Uchiha Itachi, sleeping soundly.

"Sasuke..."

Uchiha Itachi reached out and gently touched Sasuke's hair.

As if feeling his brother's love in his sleep, Sasuke made a happy noise and then fell back into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Konoha remained peaceful.

Uchiha Itachi didn't go on any missions, but just stood quietly on a high platform in Konoha, watching over the tranquil village.

Children at the Ninja Academy were still playing, and villagers were coming and going in the commercial streets of the village, selecting goods.

Uchiha Itachi's hair fluttered in the wind. He closed his eyes, continuing to ponder the words of Shimura Danzo, thinking about his ultimate decision.

Meanwhile, outside Konoha Village, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, bid farewell to the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, who refused the offer of an escort team from Konoha.

After all, Hiruzen had already helped Yagura remove the seal inside his body, allowing the Mizukage to use his chakra again. Moreover, the ANBU from Mist Village would also be escorting him.

A tall man with a shark-like face, carrying a bandaged ninjato, stood next to the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi.

Kisame Hoshigaki.

Akihara Kagura stood next to Sarutobi Hiruzen, noticing this man. Kisame Hoshigaki felt Kagura's gaze.

Kisame Hoshigaki slowly turned his head to look at Akihara Kagura standing next to the Third Hokage. He knew this person was the Wood Release ninja who had once caused an uproar in the Land of Water. The shark-faced man attempted to smile amiably, but it came across as somewhat cruel and bloody on his face.

"May our two countries be forever at peace."

"I also sincerely hope for eternal peace."

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, shook hands and said goodbye, standing at the gates of Konoha, watching as the Mizukage left with a group of Mist Village ANBU.

Because of the information Uchiha Itachi provided the night before, Hiruzen could not delay any longer, fearing that Yagura might get caught up in the internal turmoil between the Uchiha and Konoha, and hurriedly sent the Mizukage on his way.

However, what Hiruzen never expected was that, less than half a day after the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, and the Mist Village ANBU left Konoha, a figure appeared in front of them while they planned to rest by a river at noon.

"Uchiha Obito!"

Yagura Karatachi's expression changed drastically, ready to mobilize his chakra, fearing that he would be controlled by Uchiha Obito again!

Uchiha Obito, no longer concealing his true face, looked at Yagura Karatachi and the group of Mist Village ANBU, and simply commanded in a cold voice.

"Begin!"

Click!

Kisame Hoshigaki, who had been standing next to Yagura Karatachi, swung the large sword in his hand. The bandage on the sword instantly burst open, and a Samehada burst out, biting into Yagura Karatachi's shoulder!

Yagura Karatachi's chakra was rapidly absorbed by Samehada!

The Samehada is one of the seven most powerful ninja swords of the Mist Village, possessing the ability to absorb a person's chakra. This ability matches perfectly with its current owner, Kisame Hoshigaki!

A group of Mist Anbu were shocked!

Because, no matter what, they could not imagine that Kisame Hoshigaki would betray the Mist Village and choose to side with Uchiha Obito!

"Kisame"

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, couldn't believe it and tried to turn around.

"Ha, I'm really sorry, Lord Mizukage"

Holding the Samehada in one hand, Kisame grinned and said, "I've had enough of this fake world; I want to see the new world"

"Kisame, how dare you!"

A group of Mist Anbu was about to charge at him!

"Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance!"

Uchiha Obito looked disdainfully at these Anbu, raised his finger, and a hurricane flew out of his eye socket, with a flame instantly falling into the hurricane. The fire, aided by the wind, expanded and burned this group of Mist Anbu to death!

Just like many years ago, Uchiha Obito was merciless against the Mist Anbu, only his mood seemed a bit more relaxed and pleasant this time.

Just right.

On the other side, Yagura also lost his ability to fight.

Uchiha Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan in his eye sockets quickly pulled Yagura's body into his own space, softly saying, "Kisame, I thought you knew my true identity and would choose to betray me"

Kisame, carrying his Samehada great sword, grinned lightly and said, "Although you initially deceived me in the village using the name of Uchiha Madara, it doesn't matter to me at all. I'm just fed up with this fake world"

"Good."

"Stand by."

Uchiha Obito looked at Kisame with satisfaction and continued, "When the time is right, I'll arrange for you to join the organization, so you can understand the truth of this world."

"Then I'll be taking my leave."

Kisame nodded his head and, out of curiosity before leaving, asked, "I saw that Wood Release brat; his chakra seems to be liked by Samehada If there's a chance, can I kill him?"

"You're not his match yet."

Uchiha Obito felt like this subordinate was also courting death.

After all, since the leader of the Akatsuki, Pain, was defeated by Akihara Kagura, it's unlikely that Kisame, no matter how strong, could defeat Akihara Kagura

After watching Kisame leave, Uchiha Obito's body also entered a space-time vortex, teleporting away from the spot.

Evening.

In the forest next to the Naka Shrine.

Uchiha Obito returned here to continue waiting for Uchiha Itachi.

Today, Uchiha Itachi actually came here, quietly standing under a tree, seemingly waiting for Uchiha Obito to appear.

Just as Uchiha Obito was about to speak, Uchiha Itachi saw Uchiha Obito's figure appear and suddenly made a request.

"I'd like to ask for a favor"

"Oh?"

Uchiha Obito became interested, thinking of the news reported by White Zetzu Awei, and a smug expression appeared on his face: "It seems you've decided to join my organization"

"As long as you do me a favor."

Uchiha Itachi looked at Uchiha Obito, a struggle flashing in his eyes, but ultimately he spoke firmly: "Help me eliminate the Uchiha clan!"

The strength of the Uchiha clan was not weak.

Even with the Mangeky Sharingan, Uchiha Itachi felt somewhat apprehensive, as he needed to reserve some strength to confront his father, Uchiha Fugaku, who also possessed the Mangeky Sharingan.

"Hehe..."

Uchiha Obito chuckled lightly, looking at Uchiha Itachi: "I've heard you're close with the higher-ups of Konoha, and have been ostracized by the Uchiha clan, just like Uchiha Madara was expelled back then. Have you started to hate the clan now?"

"They are planning a coup."

Uchiha Itachi lowered his head, unwilling to claim he was acting for the greater good of Konoha in front of this man, revealing his true intention: "The power of the Uchiha clan can't possibly be a match for Konoha. I want Sasuke to survive."

"Is that so?"

Uchiha Obito spread his hands, grinning: "I also have a task for you..."

"I've taken back the Three-Tails Jinchriki, Yagura Karatachi. You control the Three-Tails in Konoha to create chaos, to test the abilities of that kid, Akihara Kagura."

As Uchiha Obito said this, he even took an interested tone, speaking of their Uchiha clan's tradition: "When Uchiha Madara left Konoha, he controlled the Nine-Tails with his Mangeky Sharingan, and with Susanoo, he enhanced the Nine-Tails' power, battling the First Hokage. Now, it's your turn..."

"Alright."

Uchiha Itachi slowly nodded in agreement.

When Uchiha Madara disregarded his clan's pleas and chose to defect, he controlled the Nine-Tails with the Mangeky Sharingan, fighting a deadly battle with his fated enemy, the First Hokage Senju Hashirama;

Now, he himself had to kill all his clansmen and defect from Konoha, also using the Mangeky Sharingan to control the Three-Tails and fight his fated enemy, Akihara Kagura...

All of this...

Was like a fate that couldn't be escaped.

Just then, in the shadow of a dark corner, the soul of Tendo Shisui was trembling continuously. He heard the exchange between Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi and finally understood why Akihara Kagura would think that he would definitely seek to kill Uchiha Itachi
