"Good! Itachi, I believe you are a good child and will make the right judgment." The Third Hokage stood up and said solemnly.
"Then I will take my leave." Itachi nodded and exited.
Danzo only relaxed after he had left.
"Sarutobi, Uchiha Itachi is also a huge problem!"
"Enough, Danzo! Itachi is a person who possesses the Will of Fire," the Third Hokage said, sitting in his chair, his gaze deep as if contemplating something.
Danzo's face was gloomy, clearly disagreeing with the Third Hokage's words.
"Sarutobi, can Uchiha Itachi guarantee eternal loyalty to the Village?" Danzo's voice carried a hint of doubt.
Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe and started smoking, offering no further reply.
Early the next morning, Feng Ye was leisurely eating breakfast. This was the first time he had felt so relaxed since transmigrating.
He spent the entire previous night explaining to his parents, and only then did they grudgingly accept the fact that their son had gained immense power and had run home after finishing his explanation in Takigakure.
As for why he didn't want them to tell outsiders, Feng Ye explained that he was afraid it would cause more trouble.
Elder Uchiha Setsuna hurried to Uchiha Kaede's doorstep, his heart still filled with complexity.
Uchiha Miho went to open the door, her face full of surprise. "Elder! Why are you here?"
"Is Feng Ye home?" Uchiha Setsuna's tone held a hint of urgency.
"Mother, let the Elder come in!" Feng Ye's voice reached both of their ears, sounding as if he were speaking right next to them.
Hearing her son's words, Uchiha Miho quickly ushered him inside.
"Elder." After he entered the room, Uchiha Kaede smiled and bowed to him.
"Feng Ye, was what you said yesterday true?" Uchiha Setsuna asked impatiently.
"Of course."
"But how did you know?"
Uchiha Kaede smiled slightly, a mysterious light flashing in his eyes, which transformed into a strange pattern—the Mangekyo Sharingan!
"This is!?" Uchiha Setsuna stared at his eyes in disbelief. "A Mangekyo?!"
"That's right. These eyes of mine have seen through everything." Feng Ye closed his eyes again, retracting the Mangekyo.
"Feng Ye, you! When did you awaken the Mangekyo?" The Elder was extremely agitated, but his confusion grew even greater. The Feng Ye before him was merely a promising genius just last month.
According to his investigation, he was just an ordinary Uchiha Clan member half a year ago.
In less than a year, he actually awakened the Uchiha Clan's legendary God's Eye! It was a miracle!
"Just recently. Elder, I have no reason to lie to you."
Uchiha Setsuna calmed down. "You said Uchiha Itachi also has the Mangekyo? And that he really betrayed us?"
After receiving confirmation, he looked heartbroken. Feng Ye truly had no need to lie to him now, and Itachi was indeed closely connected to the Konoha higher-ups. This meant that an Uchiha genius possessing the Mangekyo had betrayed them.
If he hadn't betrayed us, we would have two Mangekyo users. Wouldn't the position of Hokage be within easy reach then!
Thinking of this, Uchiha Setsuna felt even more miserable.
"So, Feng Ye, what do you think we should do?" The Elder was now gradually handing over the decision-making authority to Feng Ye.
"It's the same answer: leave Konoha and find a new Clan Compound!"
"But how do we leave?" Uchiha Setsuna asked helplessly. How easy is it for an entire clan to leave?
"Just stop Uchiha Itachi. As long as we stop him and gather all the Uchiha Ninja, the Third Hokage will negotiate with us. Only then can we proceed with the next step of the plan." Feng Ye said expressionlessly. As long as they stopped that traitor, the Third Hokage wouldn't risk heavy casualties in Konoha just to clash head-on with the Uchiha.
In the original work, the reason Itachi had such an easy time was threefold: first, a surprise attack; second, no one expected him to make a move; and third, the assistance of the Hokage (Danzo) and Obito.
To put it bluntly, Itachi is the biggest factor. As long as he is dealt with, half the problem is solved.
As long as the Uchiha Clan reacts, the power they can unleash is still terrifying. They are still Konoha's true number one great clan.
As for Obito, setting aside Kamui, it's debatable whether he even qualifies as Kage-level.
Not to mention he has Amaterasu and Takemikazuchi, two ocular techniques that restrain him.
"There is also the Clan Head, whose indecisiveness is fatal to the current Uchiha." Feng Ye stated.
"Then, I will handle the Clan Head. If he truly leads the Uchiha toward destruction, I believe he won't have the face to remain the Clan Head!" Uchiha Setsuna understood Fugaku quite well.
Feng Ye frowned. He really couldn't be sure if Uchiha Fugaku would help Itachi. In the original work, Fugaku did nothing, and it is rumored he also possessed the Mangekyo.
Although he didn't actively help Itachi, as the Clan Head and a Mangekyo user, failing to stop him was equivalent to helping him.
"Then I leave it to you, Elder." Feng Ye was currently thinking of Sasuke. Itachi's greatest weakness was his younger brother!
Not far from Uchiha Kaede's house in the Uchiha Clan Compound, a white creature with textures resembling plant roots on its surface, grotesque and somewhat distorted in form, looked completely bewildered.
"What's going on? Why has the Elder of the Uchiha household been inside for so long without coming out?" White Zetsu only had his upper body above ground, with the lower half submerged in the earth.
He was here under Obito's command to monitor Uchiha Setsuna. Uchiha Obito had already made contact with Itachi.
To prevent any anomalies within the Uchiha Clan, Obito had sent several White Zetsu to monitor some of the clan's key figures.
"Who is this person? Why are they talking for so long?" White Zetsu pondered.
"Yo, look who we have here!" Suddenly, a voice sounded right next to White Zetsu's ear.
Without the slightest hesitation, White Zetsu immediately tried to drill back underground, but he felt a wave of numbness rising from the earth. Before he could react, he was grabbed and pulled out by a hand.
Uchiha Kaede grabbed White Zetsu by the neck and lifted him up. When Uchiha Setsuna arrived earlier, he had sensed a strange aura nearby.
He waited until he finished talking with the Elder before activating Takemikazuchi and arriving here.
At first, he thought it was the Anbu, but he didn't expect such an unexpected gain.
White Zetsu was created by Uchiha Madara using the Chakra of the Gedo Statue and Hashirama cells.
White Zetsu's initial creation was intended to realize Uchiha Madara's ambition and become part of his plan.
In other words, this White Zetsu contained extremely rich energy.
Thinking of this, Feng Ye's eyes grew fervent. White Zetsu stared at him in terror; the way this person looked at him was too strange.
"Hmph!" Feng Ye tightened his grip and crushed him to death, then immediately began the absorption.
This absorption was different from previous times; this time, he completely absorbed the entire body.
That's right, the kind where not even dust remained. It looked as if his hand had completely devoured the creature.
He quietly observed the changes in his body, as a strange type of Chakra flowed into him.
He felt that his Wood Release had become stronger, and his Chakra had also increased slightly. However, that strange Chakra entering his eyes was like water flowing into the ocean, stirring no waves at all.
Was it the Gedo Statue? No wonder it was somewhat similar to the Seven-Tails'. It seems Uchiha Obito has already met with Itachi.
