Chapter 197 Night

Aoi glanced at Itachi deeply for a while, confirming that Itachi didn't notice anything,

"Next I will take you to the organization, meet me near the Hashirama statue in the valley, I fought him." He replied, then disappeared into a spiral, leaving bewildered Itachi behind.

'It seems he doesn't trust me completely,' Itachi thought to himself, then glanced at the burning courtyards houses in the clan with deep expression. 'I should warn that guy to stay away from Sasuke.' Thinking of Danzo and Shisui's final encounter, he doesn't believe a treacherous person like Danzo,

Itachi figure flickered toward the village direction one last time.

...

On the other hand,

Spiral appeared above the Madara head in the valley of the end. Aoi walked outside and landed. 'Finally, the plan I came up with in the final moment went well.' He thought to himself.

Instantly, the land beside him squirmed, and a cactus-like branch protruded out. Then it was divided into two, revealing a half-black and half-white weird humanoid face.

"You have killed the Obito and replaced him; I should give you my praise for that, but do you really think you can hide your disguise from us?" Zetsu spoke calmly while being alert in his heart.

"Oh, I thought I would hide it from you for a while; I didn't expect you to bust me out so soon, but you are wrong I didn't replace Obito, I am still Uchiha Obito; I just replaced my body using an interesting ninjutsu I learned." Aoi calmly gave a sideways glance at Zetsu.

"Are you mocking my intelligence?" White Zetsu spoke angrily, while Black was silent from the beginning, looking at Aoi alertly.

"Well, in order you to confirm my identity, I will speak about a few important points only you and I know: Madara Will, Infinite Tsukuyomi, Pain Rinnegen, Yin and Yang Art, and you like poop; you never stopped asking about it since I was saved by Madara. I have already explained once; don't ask me again; soon Itachi will arrive; I have to introduce him to the Akatsuki and stay behind the scenes myself as we planned." Aoi then the point then said calmly,

"You are really Obito; I didn't expect there would be an art capable of exchanging bodies." Black Zetsu affirmed, then became thoughtful: 'Information is indeed correct, but I have to assess his habits; I can't take risks.'

Aoi smiled in his heart. 'As expected of a thousand-year-old fox, he really didn't believe me. Anyway, soon I will send him to hell. Before that, I hope he just relaxes his vigilance once.'

…

Sitting on the Madara statue head, Aoi Akatsuki's robe rustled with the wind. Soon he sensed some movements, and Itachi appeared on the Hashirama statue head.

Looking at Itachi in front of him, he said, "Itachi, you have finally arrived."

Itachi's expression became solemn, and he then asked coldly, "Where is the corpse of Izumi? I want you to return it to me. Also, you aren't the previous guy; I can feel it."

Aoi was startled, then smiled realizing he had made a mistake; he shouldn't take Izumi's corpse like that.

Aoi turned and glanced in a direction, looking at a black and white Zetsu merging with the land below, as if running away. 'Oops, as expected he found out, now this guy will never come into my hand's. Well, it doesn't matter. I knew it wouldn't be easy to fool these high-IQ monsters.' 

Aoi thought, then shook his head glanced at Itachi and replied, "It seems you have found out my identity; well, it doesn't matter; half an hour hasn't passed yet."

Itachi was startled, then his expression became solemn, and he thoughtfully asked, "What do you mean by half an hour?"

Aoi smiled wickedly behind his mask, activated his own Mangekyō ability,

Recall!!! 30 minutes ago

Instantly, everything around him froze in a frame, then all thing's blurred into darkness.

Aoi also felt a glimpse of darkness, then the next moment, 

He opened his pupil with both his own Mangekyō, lying on his bed before his death, feeling a movement in his room, and closed his eyes again. 'It seems, just on time, or I would have to use recall twice.' He thought,

While a figure landed in his room, a mask figure with one shuriken like Mangekyō obviously it's Obito,

he appeared again, acting same as before.

Looking at Aoi sleeping peacefully, Obito becomes thoughtful and thought again, 'Final Uchiha is that child, well anyway.'

He walked toward Aoi expressionlessly, raised a sword in his hand, and pierced Aoi's heart; blood splattered around. 

After a while,

Obito glanced at the bloody sword and dead Aoi, shook his head, and said again, "What a pity? You survived that attack upon birth, but eventually died today. How unfair this world is; don't worry, I will create a fair world for everyone." He then turned around and walked away calmly.

Resurrection!!!

Aoi opened his eyes, revealing his own Mangekyō lying on the bed calmly; this time he didn't replace Obito.

'It seems I have to initiate Plan B; if that also didn't work, then Plan C,' Aoi thought to himself, turned around, and stepped down from the bed. 

Then he changed his clothes and burned the previous one as they were damaged, then walked outside the courtyard, appeared in a specific area of his lawn, and signed and patted the ground with both hands.

Mud Limit!!! Underground Dive!!! 

Instantly, his figure merged with the underground, then he dove deep underground and left the Uchiha Clan premises. 

After traveling some distance, he resurfaced inside the burly tree trunk, outside the Uchiha Clan territory. 

looking at the narrow area inside the trunk, where his small body can barely lay down straight. "Well, this will be a safe place for now," he muttered, then closed his eyes and slept peacefully.

…

Next morning,

The whole Konoha fell into deep quietness and silence upon hearing the unexpected news of Uchiha annihilation.
