Chapter 82

Kaito looked somewhat gloomily at the arm that had fallen to the ground. His mood at this moment was certainly not splendid.

He was very certain that his sword had hit Uchiha Itachi, but the key question was whether this guy was dead or alive.

As an enemy, Kaito would not concern himself with him. However, what Kaito cared about were this guy's eyes.

Although Kaito had obtained one now, the other was still on this man.

It was apparent that Kaito had underestimated Obito, underestimated this man's ability to save his own life.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, chakra rapidly fluctuated around Kaito. His own black flame dragon, which was about to pounce on him from behind, suddenly swayed at this moment.

Immediately after, the flame dragon turned into sparks just as it was about to collide with Kaito, dispersing behind him without causing any harm.

Taking a deep breath, Kaito quickly adjusted his mindset, followed by a hint of a smile.

"Whether you are dead or alive, you no longer hold the surname of Uchiha.

If you are alive, then hide in the gutters like a rat and watch closely.

Watch the collapse of what you believe in, watch the rise of the Uchiha that you are determined to destroy, watch your most trusted Hokage and your most beloved little brother despise you to their bones!

If you are dead, then I will just retrieve your eye from Obito in the future."

Kaito couldn't be sure whether Uchiha Itachi was still alive, but he didn't care because this man was as good as discarded.

He didn't know whether his Void Walking could directly teleport into Obito's space.

Otherwise, he could indeed go to confirm, or even snatch the eye.

But even if he followed Obito's use of Kamui to open space for that moment, allowing the two spaces to connect, he wouldn't dare to venture in.

Who knows if he could get out after going in if Obito were to close the space? He certainly didn't have the spirit to sacrifice himself to negate Obito's Kamui ability.

Furthermore, Kaito was genuinely wondering if it was too easy on this guy if he really was dead?

The things he did in the original were truly detestable to both humans and gods. Even if he showed regret after being reincarnated with the Impure World Reincarnation, could his regret bring innocent people back to life?

Let him live, let him experience the collapse of his beliefs, let the people who once loved him hate him.

Even let the whole of Konoha view him as an enemy, making everything he did and everything he believed in utterly meaningless. This would probably be the best punishment!

Moreover, Kaito never intended to let him off so easily. If he's dead, his eyes must be recovered, if he's alive, his life must also be taken.

"Clan leader..."

Just then, Shisui and Uchiha Fugaku also ran over. They both looked slightly embarrassed and guilty at this moment.

They had clearly seen the scene where the mysterious person saved Uchiha Itachi, and that mysterious person was their adversary.

It can be said that the problem was indeed theirs. Even though the mysterious person could use space ninjutsu which rendered them both powerless, and he had been constantly avoiding genjutsu.

However, being a shinobi is a profession that values outcomes. No one cares about how difficult or tortuous your process was, all they want is a result.

"We have failed our mission, please punish us, clan leader." They looked at each other and simultaneously bowed their heads.

"All right, now is not the time to discuss this, and you two didn't make any mistakes."

Kaito lightly shook his head. Clearly, he had no intention of dwelling on these matters.

"I noticed that guy actually knows space ninjutsu. It's indeed not easy to deal with him. It's not your fault."

Space ninjutsu is an extremely buggy ability, there's no doubt about that. It's normal that they can't handle Obito.

However, Kaito also noticed that Obito seemed to be unwilling to directly look into the eyes of these two. Was it because he knew some information or a single Mangekyō Sharingan had trouble handling the genjutsu of two people?

Regardless of the reason, there was nothing Kaito could do about this guy's escape.

"Clan leader, I think I have gathered some crucial information about him," Uchiha Fugaku was the first to speak, "I believe the next time we face him, we should be more composed."

"Is that so?" Kaito raised an eyebrow, appearing somewhat surprised. Then, he nodded seriously.

He acknowledged Uchiha Fugaku's fighting power. The fight between him and Uchiha Fugaku was somewhat biased because this guy was bent on dying.

Unfortunately for him, his eye power was genjutsu, which was completely counteracted by Kaito.

If this guy didn't use genjutsu, Kaito might not have won so easily.

"Clan leader, this guy is a bit tricky."

At this moment, Shisui also spoke up. His expression seemed somewhat solemn.

"I tried to use the Kotoamatsukami of my right eye to control him, but he seemed utterly unafraid of my control.

And when I attempted to use the Kotoamatsukami of my left eye to control him all at once, he immediately counteracted it.

He seems to have used our clan's secret technique, Izanagi, and after that, he stopped looking at Fugaku and my eyes."

So, that's what happened!

Kaito finally understood at this moment why Obito was so guarded. It turned out that Shisui had quietly made a move but had been discovered.

Kaito wasn't sure why Uchiha Itachi didn't reveal Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan's ability. Perhaps Uchiha Itachi didn't know about it either?

Under these circumstances, Obito was forced to use Izanagi because he had fallen into a trap.

Adding to this, he was already short of one Mangekyō Sharingan, so naturally, his field of vision had blind spots.

Therefore, noticing that Uchiha Itachi was in trouble, he swiftly rescued him and escaped at the same time.

Shaking his head lightly, Kaito didn't plan to dwell on this matter. However, as he was about to turn around, he suddenly noticed the arm lying on the ground out of the corner of his eye.

Initially, he hadn't paid attention to it, but now he noticed something off about this arm.

The arm's color was entirely different from that of a normal person, it had a creepy pallor!

Kaito observed this scene, and it suddenly sparked a thought. He hadn't confirmed whose arm he had cut off, whether it was Obito's or Itachi's.

He wasn't even sure who he had struck.

But now, he could confirm that the arm he hit belonged to Obito.

Taking a deep breath, Kaito calmed himself quickly. He was well aware that now was not the time to think about these things; he had more important tasks at hand.

He quickly retrieved a scroll from his ninja tool pouch. He was fully armed for the battle, and swiftly sealed the arm within the scroll.

Only after doing all this, did he stand up, and when all the clansmen had gathered around, he finally spoke.

"What happened tonight, I think you all have witnessed. Although the traitor of our clan has escaped, as he said, he didn't come alone!

According to surveillance, there's a group of people outside our clan territory, not sure whether they're from the Root or ANBU, on standby.

Obviously, tonight's events were premeditated, with those hidden in the darkness participating."

Speaking up to this point, Kaito paused slightly, then his gaze shifted towards Uchiha So and Uchiha Takechi who were standing among the crowd, their faces unusually grim.

"Both of you elders, please prepare the surveillance materials from tonight. I need the complete data for everything that happened here and those guys outside."

"Yes, Clan Leader!" The two elders immediately nodded and then turned to quickly run towards the surveillance room.

"Shisui, you consolidate all the clan's combat power."

Once the two left, Kaito's gaze fell on Shisui and Uchiha Fugaku.

"Fugaku, you are in charge of taking the elderly and young to the shelters. You two coordinate how many people to leave behind to protect the clan.

After everything is handled, Shisui, you bring people to rendezvous with me. Fugaku, I need you to make a trip, I want you to find the Nine-Tails."

After saying all this, Kaito disregarded the slightly changing expressions of Shisui and Uchiha Fugaku, and holding his ninja blade, he walked towards the clan's outskirts.

As he walked, he spoke softly, and his voice accurately fell into Shisui's and Fugaku's ears.

"Whoever attacks me is the enemy, whoever colludes with the clan's traitor is the enemy.

I've never intended to oppose the Konoha, but someone must pay the price for tonight's events!"

Upon hearing these words, Shisui and Uchiha Fugaku exchanged glances and then both of them spoke resolutely.

"Yes, Clan Leader!"
