Hokage: Ryo’s Path

After the Uchiha clan's clan meeting ended, Itachi left Nanga Shrine alone.

Itachi knew very well that the decision made by Uchiha would have irreversible consequences for Konoha, but at this time Itachi was very confused and didn't know what to do.

Uchiha Fugaku sighed looking at Itachi's back, and then began to look for those clansmen who opposed the coup.

It was late at night, and Itachi was wandering alone in the village, thinking about what he was going to do next, but at this moment, Itachi noticed that there seemed to be someone behind him.

But when he turned around, there was nothing.

Itachi can be sure that what he perceives is not an illusion, there must be someone behind him, but this person has used some special method to hide it.

Thinking of this, Itachi opened his kaleidoscope and looked behind him, but unfortunately he still found nothing.

Obito, who was in the space of Kamui, never thought that he would be discovered. The two of them were separated by a space. He only used his mental power to perceive Itachi's actions, and he was actually discovered by him. This made Obito even more interested in Itachi.

After repeatedly confirming that there is no one behind, Itachi muttered to himself: "Is it an illusion?" While talking, he relaxed his vigilance on the surface, but secretly still guarded against the mysterious person behind him.

Itachi pretended to be aimless and walked to the death forest. Itachi planned to ask Suzune for help, but he forgot that Suzune had already returned home so late.

In the death forest, there was no one around, and Obito was not hiding. He came out of Kamui Time and Space and stood behind Itachi Uchiha.

Facing the sudden appearance of Obito, Itachi seemed very calm. Without the slightest hesitation, he formed a mudra with one hand in the dark, and spit out a few small fireballs towards Obito.

Obito looked at these small fireballs in surprise and said, "Is it a one-handed seal? It's really surprising." After speaking, he directly entered the Kamui time and space, and Itachi's fireball passed through him.

Itachi frowned when he saw this, opened the kaleidoscope, and looked at the eyes of the masked man, but what he didn't expect was that the pupil technique [Yuedu] of the kaleidoscope had no effect on the person in front of him.

"It seems that you have opened the kaleidoscope. It is interesting to open the kaleidoscope at the age of 12! It's so interesting!" Obito lamented Itachi's talent.

"Who the hell are you? What is the purpose of coming to Konoha? Why are you following me?" Itachi ignored Obito's words and asked directly.

"The current junior is really not cute. Didn't you guess my identity?"

"Ignore Konoha's enchantment, strange ability, and even ignore the kaleidoscope's [pupil technique], is it really Uchiha Madara?"

Thinking of this Itachi's face turned pale, and subconsciously took a few steps back to distance himself from Obito: "Are you really Uchiha Madara? But didn't you die in the Valley of the End? How come!"

"Haha! Everyone thought I was dead at that time, but now I'm still standing here."

"What is your purpose in coming to Konoha?"

"Purpose? Of course it's for the show! See how the Uchiha clan who betrayed me, and how Konoha was wounded. By the way, let's see if there is any chance, and by the way, do something about this decaying village."

After hearing Obito's words, Itachi's first reaction was that this person was crazy, but then Itachi realized that with the ability shown by this person in front of him, what he said could really be done.

"Madara, do you really have such a great hatred for Uchiha?"

"I won't hate a family that betrayed me, but those who betrayed me must die."

"So, if I help you get rid of the Uchiha clan, can you let the village go? Don't attack the village?"

At the moment when he met "Uchiha Madara", Itachi, who had been confused, made his decision.

"Oh? Are you willing to help me?" Obito looked at Itachi with interest.

"Well! As long as you promise that I won't do anything to the village, I will help you get rid of the Uchiha clan together."

Itachi's voice was very flat, without any emotional fluctuations. Obito stared firmly into Itachi's eyes, and finally said with a smile, "Okay! Since my lovely junior is willing to help, I'll just wait and see." After finishing speaking Obito's figure disappeared in place.

Itachi was taken aback when he saw this, and then broke into a cold sweat: "You can actually know time and space ninjutsu? It seems to be better than Mr. Yuan."

After making the decision, Itachi immediately ran towards the Hatake clan.

Unlike Uchiha, Hatake's clan didn't have many people, and naturally they didn't have such strong defenses. Uchiha Itachi sneaked in easily.

But when Itachi first joined the Hatake clan, he was already discovered by Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi.

Hatake Sakumo was afraid of waking his wife, so he got up cautiously, but Kakashi didn't have so many taboos, he took the short knife by the bed and ran to the courtyard to stop Itachi.

Itachi didn't wear a mask, and didn't hide his identity, so Kakashi recognized it as Uchiha Itachi at a glance.

"Itachi, it's inappropriate to come to "visit" at this late hour!" Although he recognized Itachi, Kakashi didn't intend to let him go directly.

"Captain, I have something to do with Hokage-sama, can you inform me?"

"this late."

Just as Kakashi was about to refuse, Hatake Sakumo's voice sounded next to his ear: "Let him in!"

Kakashi froze for a moment, then brought Itachi to the living room.

"Kakashi, get out!"

Kakashi nodded, turned and left, Hatake Sakumo glanced at Itachi and asked, "What's the matter?"

Itachi hesitated for a moment, and did not tell about the encounter with "Uchiha Madara", but told Hatake Sakumo about the Uchiha clan's coup d'état.

But to Itachi's surprise, Hatake Sakumo wasn't frightened at all, as if he knew it long ago.

"Master Hokage, do you already know?"

Hatake Sakumo nodded, and Itachi continued to ask with a wry smile, "Master Hokage, is the village ready to attack the Uchiha clan?"

"Itachi, you have been in Anbu for so long, you should also know that it is impossible for the village to sit idly by if you betray the village."

"Master Hokage, I know the rules of the village. But if I'm willing to help you get rid of the Uchiha clan, can you go the other way and let Sasuke go?"

Hatake Sakumo shook his head when he heard the words, Itachi thought that Hatake Sakumo objected, his eyes dimmed instantly, but then itachi was overjoyed by Hatake Sakumo's words.

"Itachi, don't worry! Because of you and Shisui, I know that not everyone in the Uchiha clan opposes Konoha, so the village decided to only attack Uchiha clansmen who have coup intentions."

Itachi's eyes lit up: "Master Hokage, are you serious?"

"Of course! Anyone who has no intention of a coup d'état will definitely be fine this time."

Itachi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and then said with firm eyes: "Master Hokage, please leave these clansmen to me!"

Itachi's words made Hatake Sakumo stunned for a moment, then he sighed and thought: 'It seems that everything is really as Toto and Fugaku planned. '

Thinking of this, Hatake Sakumo didn't hesitate to agree to Itachi's request.

After the two discussed the details of the specific actions, Itachi left the Hatake clan.

At the same time, Uchiha Fugaku also summoned those clansmen who opposed the coup in the clan meeting just now, along with children under the age of 12 in the clan.

Looking at the hundreds of Uchiha people in front of him, Uchiha Fugaku sighed, then broke an ice scalpel and called Yamanaka Ryo.

"Far away, there are only these people, please!"

When I came to finance, I found that I only need to help check the data. I don’t need to participate in the specific calculations. I can update it today.
