Uchiha Itachi's body froze.
In those newly awakened Mangekyō Sharingan, uncertainty—even wavering—appeared for the first time.
That was Sasuke, that was his mother.
Even though Uchiha Itachi had been brainwashed by the Will of Fire, he found it difficult to make a decision in that instant.
"It seems you don't care about your younger brother and mother."
Kaze sneered, his wrist moving slightly.
The short sword pressed deeper into Sasuke's neck.
Bright red blood slid down the blade, looking shocking against Sasuke's fair skin.
"Kaze, whatever your demands are, we can talk."
"But do not hurt my family."
Fugaku took a step forward. His voice was low and restrained, but Kaze could see the veins bulging on his neck.
"Demands?"
"No, no, no, I only have one requirement. Uchiha Itachi... die!"
"You Uchiha trash, give up the position of Clan Head."
"Itachi."
"I give you ten seconds to consider. Ten, nine, eight..."
Kaze stared playfully at the two sanctimonious pieces of trash before him, the sharp blade in his hand pressing tighter.
"I refuse."
When Kaze counted to seven, Uchiha Itachi finally spoke.
Uchiha Itachi's voice regained its calm, and those Mangekyō Sharingan slowly rotated.
Did Uchiha Itachi not care about Sasuke and his mother?
No, it was that Uchiha Itachi was certain that Uchiha Kaze was only threatening them and would absolutely not dare to actually kill the two.
"Oh?"
"Refuse?"
Kaze murmured, killing intent beginning to surge in his eyes.
"I understand the Uchiha."
"No Uchiha would truly harm their own clansmen, especially a child."
Seeing that Uchiha Kaze made no further moves, Uchiha Itachi seemed to have regained some initiative and began to speak with assurance.
The atmosphere in the meeting room changed subtly.
Several radical members exchanged glances—Itachi was right. No matter how crazy, Uchiha Kaze was, after all, a member of the Uchiha.
He couldn't possibly really...
"Pu!"
"Pu!"
Responding to Uchiha Itachi were two clean movements.
The blade held in the right hand slit Uchiha Sasuke's throat, while the kunai in the left hand stabbed into Uchiha Mikoto's heart.
"Thud..."
As the two bodies fell, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyō constricted.
"Uchiha Kaze, you deserve to die!"
Fugaku roared. Behind him, the Dōryoku (Pupil Power) of the Sharingan erupted frantically!
Powerful Dōryoku swept through the entire meeting room, causing many weaker Uchiha members to collapse directly to the ground.
"Amaterasu!"
Uchiha Itachi also directly released Amaterasu, and black flames swept toward Kaze.
"Can't hold back anymore? Amenoshinra!"
Kaze didn't care in the slightest. His right eye—Amenoshinra—began to rotate.
The space around Kaze's body began to distort, directly swallowing the black flames.
"How is that possible?"
"This guy... Damn it... Tsukuyomi!"
Seeing Amaterasu being swallowed, Uchiha Itachi ignored the backlash on his body from using eye techniques consecutively.
He released the eye technique again: Tsukuyomi.
But the moment Tsukuyomi touched the two, Kaze's left eye suddenly lit up.
"Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto—Reflect!"
"Pu!"
Uchiha Itachi felt like he had taken a heavy blow, blood flowing continuously from his eyes.
Itachi staggered back, his pair of Mangekyō filled with astonishment.
Eye techniques were ineffective, Ninjutsu was swallowed.
At this moment, a trace of regret appeared in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes.
"Kaze! What exactly do you want?!"
Fugaku gave up attacking; he knew he couldn't break through Amenoshinra's defense, at least not now.
"Uchiha Itachi, die!"
"The current you also needs to die."
"Your existence is the Uchiha clan's greatest hidden danger."
"Clearly possessing the Mangekyō, the strongest power of the Uchiha, one chooses to constantly retreat, and the other, even after knowing Uchiha Shisui was attacked and killed by Shimura Danzō, still chooses to join the Konoha higher-ups' camp."
"So, I want you both to die!"
Kaze's voice was very calm, as if discussing what to eat for dinner tonight.
But as his voice fell, the sound of people sucking in cold air rang out in the meeting room.
"Lord Shisui he..."
"Was killed by the Konoha higher-ups?!"
The members of the radical faction looked at Itachi angrily, waiting for his answer.
Itachi's face was as pale as paper. He did not deny it... nor could he deny it.
Because what Kaze said was the truth.
"More than that."
"After Uchiha Itachi chose to attach himself to the Konoha higher-ups, he even accepted their 'proposal'—to wipe out the entire Uchiha clan when necessary!"
Kaze continued, his voice echoing in the meeting room.
"What?!"
"Clan extermination plan?!"
"Uchiha Itachi, is this true?!"
The meeting room completely exploded.
All Uchiha, whether radical or conservative, looked at Itachi with disbelief at this moment.
That's it!
This is the effect Kaze wanted!
How could being crazy alone be as fun as being crazy with the entire Uchiha?
Since he had already made a move, he would take these Uchiha along with him into madness.
Let Konoha truly feel what kind of terror they will face for plotting against his Uchiha!
Because of Uchiha Itachi's silence, Uchiha Fugaku began to believe what Kaze said at this moment.
The son he was most proud of, the son he entrusted with the heaviest responsibilities, actually participated in plotting when to exterminate the Uchiha clan...
In his pair of Mangekyō, the previous anger was gone... and it even began to gradually dim.
But, even at this time, Uchiha Fugaku still couldn't make the decision to kill Uchiha Itachi.
This is him, the Uchiha trash!
The only thing he knows is how to use the secret technique he comprehended—Fugaku's Silence.
"Uchiha Nagasawa, your younger brother, Uchiha Naganami, was also attacked and killed by Root. Even now, both his eyes are still in Shimura Danzō's hands."
"Uchiha Natsume, your uncle Uchiha Morishita was also plotted against by Shimura Danzō and died on the battlefield; his Sharingan was also seized by him."
...
Kaze continued to speak.
Whether these were true or not was no longer important.
Anyway, no matter what black pot it is, as long as you think it, then Shimura Danzō definitely did it.
"Uchiha Itachi, you deserve to die!"
"Kaze, tell us what to do next, we will listen to you!"
"Damn it, we gave everything for the village, and now we are treated like this!"
...
The Uchiha crowd was already a volcano about to erupt; Kaze just gave it a slight stimulation.
They completely exploded!
Hatred, anger, excitement, madness...
Various emotions, all directed straight at Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi.
"Uchiha Kaze, what exactly do you want..."
"Pu!"
Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but want to speak, but Kaze had already used the Body Flicker to appear behind him.
Using the same kunai that had just killed Uchiha Mikoto, he stabbed into Uchiha Fugaku's heart.
"I said, I only have one requirement."
"You, die!"
As Kaze spoke, a burst of Raiton Chakra erupted.
Uchiha Fugaku was beheaded.
[Ding, Host crazily beheaded Uchiha Fugaku, reward Dōryoku increased by 100%, Physique increased by 100%.]
