Uchiha (15)

Uchiha Shouko's eyes lit up! Despite the ruthless words that were true, she didn't feel discouraged! Instead she keenly noticed the word play!

If asked such a question, the normal reply would be 'Sorry, I cant help you, or I don't know how to do it', something like this!

However, having said too weak, Uchiha Ryoko indirectly states that he indeed has a method to fulfil her wish but she's not worthy! Or he can mean that she is not even worthy of talking to him!

She definitely leaned on the former since she had indeed gone on a mission together with him, and as an Uchiha, he won't treat her like an insignificant passerby!

Uchiha Shouko ran past Ryoko and knelt down and kowtowed heavily! "Please! Grant me this chance! I don't want to die, I don't want the Uchiha to perish! I want to do something for the Uchiha clan, at any cost necessary!" Uchiha Shouko pleaded with her head on the ground!

Uchiha Ryoko appeared uninterested as he continued his walk away! Sensing Ryoko's disinterest, Shouko gritted her teeth in frustration before making up her mind!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!.....

Uchiha Shouko knocked her head violently on the floor, as blood flowed like water out of her head! Despite the immense pain and blood loss, Uchiha Shouko did not stop!

Seeing this, Ryoko frowned visibly! If she continued banging her head like this, she will certainly die! Squinting his eyes, Uchiha Ryoko spotted a grey mist covering Uchiha Shouko's soul the first time he gazed at her, this time however, he noticed that the the mist had increaded!

Uchiha Ryoko had a thoughtful look as he had his own conjectures! At first he attributed this mist to Yin-energy inherent in the Uchiha, however know…..he was not so sure anymore…

"Stop it!" Uchiha Ryoko spoke slowly as he walked to the bloodied Uchiha girl!

Uchiha Shouko who was on the verge of fainting, slowly raised her bloodied head and gazed at Uchiha Ryoko in gratitude and anticipation! Looking at this weak girl, Uchiha Ryoko shook his head and sighed!

Despite his now cold personality, this girls will, truly touched his somewhat cold heart.

Conjuring a blood red ball of liquid that wriggled in his palm, Uchiha Ryoko gazed at Uchiha Shoko and threw it at her, before resuming his walk.

"Aaaargh!!" A blood curdling scream echoed shortly after before dieing down after quarter of an hour "Seizing a turning point in your fate depends on this, likewise your death is also on the line if you don't!" Uchiha Ryoko said before vanishing in the darkness!

Uchiha Shouko writhed in agony as the blood red liquid forcibly infiltrated her body and modified anything it wished without a care!

.....

.....

[Boom!]

A violent explosion rocked the floor as Saruto Hiruzen jumped out of the smoke in a sorry state! Due to his momentary distraction after seeing the Blood Red Susanno, the combined Jutsu launched by Kakazu almost severly injured him.

Hiruzen's expression turned grave as things spiralled out of his control! With a Mangyekou Sharingan, the Uchiha could run rampant in Konoha without a sufficient method to counteract it! With him held down, Konoha was almost doomed so far as the other Ninja clans choose to remain uninvolved!

"Hehehe Old-man, don't space out during a battle!" A hearty laughter resounded as Hidan appeared in front of Hiruzen abruptly, catching him off guard!

[Boom!]

Hidan swung his scythe, intending to draw blood as it clashed with Hiruzen's awkwardly placed Adamantium Staff!

Hiruzen was unceremoniously flung away as he crashed on the floor and rolled awkwardly across the ground before standing up with the help of his rod!

"Your in a bad condition Hiruzen! These two Ninja's don't have the capacity to pressure you as so…" Monkey King Enma's voice sounded from the Adamantium Staff as he chided his partner!

"I know, it seems that I have to kill them, before I can reach the Uchiha clan…" Hiruzen took a deep breath before making a decision! He was out for the Kill!

Murderous Killing Intent bubbled unabashedly and clashed against each other as Kakazu and Hidan faced of Hiruzen!

Despite Hiruzen's countless kills since he was a key figure in the Second Ninja War, it could not compare to the likes of Kakazu who had been fighting since the Era of the First Hokage and Hidan who basically bathed in Blood!

Therefore, Hiruzen was pressured by a mountain of Killing intent that seemed to want to sublimate and crush him! Despite the pressure, Hiruzen did not get affected by the Killing Intent!

Summoning two other Shadow clones, Hiruzen was ready to go all out!

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Two clones quickly formed hand seals before performing a combination jutsu that rushed towards Kakazu and his Grudge Masks!

The other two swiftly vanished in a Body Flicker as they flancked Hidan, engaging in close combat!

The main body stood in place and repeated cast seals! Aiding the battlefield against Kakazu

[Boom!]

Hidan was struck to the ground with the Adamantium staff, creating a pit as he spat out a mouthful of blood! Hidan was truly in a predicament! This was because, he's opponents were just Shadow Clones and he could not draw blood from them! This was a disadvantage to his technique!

However….

Hidan quickly threw his Scythe in a deft motion, right before he was struck! The Scythe spun in the air rapidly before impaling the shadow clone who struck him!

Poof.

With a burst of smoke, the Shadow clone directly dispersed!

"Hokage-san, you don't expect to defeat me with Shadow Clones do you?" Hidan cheerfully asked as he dusted off his clothes before calmly picking up his scythe." If so, then your insulting the Great Jashin-sama!" Hidan's tone drastically changed to an unprecedented murderous tone with a seeping chill!

Hiruzen furrowed his brows as he monitored the situation! He had the confidence to quickly dispatch anyone of this Rogue-nin, however with two, defeating them will take more time! And that is currently what he doesn't have!

"Water Release: Rising Water Slicer"

Hidan was not idle, as water bullets were spewed at of his mouth! As he ran towards the nearest clone, he continued spitting out water bullets that effectively sealed the path of escape for the clone!

Tge clone had to dodge or block this sharp water waves.

"Lightning Release Bullet: Powerful Breath!" Hidan clenched his fists that condensed a vast amount of lightning chakra! Its not that Hidan could not use Ninjutsu! It was just that he never needed to use some Ninjutsu he knew based on the opponents he faced!

The Vast Lightning Chakra quickly flowed through his Three-Bladed Scythe, vast blue arcs of lightning danced through the weopon as Hidan swung it horizontally at the clone who formed an earth wall to block his attacks!

[Swoosh!]

There was no shocking explosion! Just a clean cut, that severed the earth wall alongside the last clone that stood against him!

The original technique is delivered through a punch that releases a vast amount of lightning in the direction of the fist. It was an A-Rank Technique if used in the right hands and an S-Rank if used by exceptional Kage-level Ninja's!! However, Hidan instead of using his hands, used the Blade that was given to him by Jashin-sama to conduct the lightning chakra!!

Calmly withdrawing his blade, Hidan stood upright and looked at the distant Hiruzen who held the Adamantium Staff on his shoulder!

[Boom!] A sudden explosion caught Hidan of guard as 3 paper bombs simultaneously exploded on his body!

The sorry figure of Hidan was seen as the dust cleared up. Hidan's former calmness was replaced with boundless fury and hatred!

"Aaaargh! Fuck you! Bloody old bitch! I will skin you alive and drink your old blood…" Hidan raged and cursed as he stood up from the explosion with a dangling hand. Clearly it was broken, his back suffered various degrees of burns but Hidan cursed as if he had no care for his injuries!

Hiruzen narrowed his eyes at this tenacious vitality. He previous spotted something unique about this person, now it seems that his vitality is no less inferior to the Uzumaki, maybe even stronger…

Crack…

Hidan forcefully repositioned his broken arm and glared daggers at the Hokage!

Hiruzen's lips twitched as he heard the numerous insults hurled at him, and the brutal or crude way of fixing an arm.

~~Wooosh!

A massive wind blew, disrupting the atmosphere as Kakazu walked out of the debris of a building with 3 monster behind him!

It seems that he had lost a heart in the battle with the two clones sent by Hiruzen! Unlike Hidan who could repeatedly heal at any cost, Kakazu had to replenish his hearts with new ones that had a very good quality that he prefers! Therefore this battle cost him dearly! However comparing the loss of a heart to the money he had with him….

Kakazu couldn't help but reveal a sinister smirk! As both Kakazu and Hidan approached the loan Hiruzen menacingly, Hiruzen gazed at the destroyed Half of Konoha and let out a depressed sigh….

Things had already escalated thus far, he's afraid his life as the Hokage might come to an end….'temporally'. Danzo you win…for now!

Swoosh..

"Hokage-dono…" Hiruzen squinted his eyes at the figure of Itachi Uchiha who knelt beside him.

"Speak!" Hiruzen uttered coldly.

Taking a deep breath, Itachi after a moment of hesitation said:"I'll take care of them! Hokage-sama has more important things to do!" Itachi gritted his teeth and spoke! He knew that this was equivalent to him saying that he couldn't take out his clan even though they caused the war!

This was understandable, because in the original, Itachi was able to 'destroy' the Uchiha due to targeting Izumi and her mother first! Using this, he was able to break all emotional ties with the Uchiha! However due to not being the instigator in the war, and other factors, Itachi was unable to betray his clan in the midst of war!

The original was different, as the other Uchiha's died in silence, however in a war, he was ultimately not able to do this!

The shame that his name would carry would be dozen times greater than the original if he really did kill other Uchiha's and was discovered! Firstly, the other Uchiha's would be so furious and curse at him that it will be very painful! And this is not all, the other 4 Clans wold obviously ridicule such a person that could betray his clan. The impact could be even more pronounced after the war!!

He will be eternally marked as a betrayer and a shameless person! Unworthy of Carrying the Uchiha name! Carrying shame, destroying the Uchiha Pride!

More importantly, his brother will be heavily ostracized, or maybe even targeted!

Hiruzen gazed deeply at Uchiha Itachi before sighing and issuing his command.

"Don't die!" Hiruzen didn't care about Itachi anymore! He could die for all he cared….since he couldn't use him then he might as well die….

Due to time difference and certain changes, Hiruzen was not privy of Itachi's Manhyekou, therefore in Hiruzen's eye, there is no way a Jonin could survive the joint attack of two Kage-level Rogue-nin!

The Hokage was decisive as he swung his staff and flickered off into the night. Vanishing from sight!

Hidan and Kakazu looked at each other and nodded knowingly! The deal stated to keep Hiruzen busy for half an hour and the time was already up! Therefore it doesn't concern them what the Hokage was up to do….

As for this Uchiha traitor.....

"Narrow minded scum like you should die early. To think that you'll betray your clan to side with corrupt individuals seeking the doom of your clan. I truly pity your clan and want to kill scum like you the most!" Kakazu spat with murderous intent!

As a person who was betrayed, he never like the people who betrayed their own. All people Kakazu met who were betrayers ended up dead by his hands!

Itachi's gaze turned cold upon hearing Kakzu's words!

"What? After clearly seeing the blatant erasure of your clan, you still follow the enemy! Don't worry once you don't have any use again, they'll dispose off you like how you did to your own clan! You're a failure…a disgrace to such a wonderful clan!" Kakazu didn't know why, but he wanted to let this useless fool know the consequences of his actions!

Itachi clenched his fists hard, blood seeping through as he frantically denied the Rogue-nin's words in his head!
