Chapter 5 : Chapter 5 The Clash of Fates

A few minutes before Madara and the unknown person's collusion...

Kaito happily used his Mangekyo Sharingan to convince his clansmen. As he was speaking, he saw a familiar face enter the patriarch's residence. The sky above was darkening, the first stars beginning to appear, casting a serene glow over the village that contrasted sharply with the tension in the air.

"Itachi…"

Kaito sighed at the foolishness of his favourite character but thought, Alas! When one is faced with death, relatives, family, and celebrities all become unimportant. The wind rustled through the trees, carrying the scent of blooming flowers mixed with the faint metallic tang of impending conflict.

Kaito took a deep breath, his eyes glinting with determination as he addressed his clansmen.

"The time for survival is now. As a bearer of the Mangekyo Sharingan, I, Kaito Uchiha, vow that our clan, the proud Uchiha, will endure this treachery. I will stand by you all and lead us to safety beyond Konoha."

"Woah...."

All Uchiha elite clansmen started cheering for Kaito. Their voices echoed through the compound, filling the air with a sense of unity and determination.

Suddenly, Kaito saw a hundred Anbu ninjas enter the Uchiha pavilion. He used the Body Flicker technique, disappearing and reappearing in front of the Anbu, disabling them one by one.

The courtyard, now illuminated by the moonlight, became a chaotic battleground as shadows danced across the walls.

As Kaito was fighting the last Anbu, his eyes detected a very strange presence. Swoosh~~~ Kaito disappeared from his place and went to the presence he felt.

Coming to the present...

"Damn you, Uchiha Kaito.", Said the masked Madara, "Who are you, and why are you collaborating with traitor Itachi?" (Though he knew it was Obito impersonating Madara).

"Ha-Ha-Ha, I am Madara Uchiha, and I have come to fully erase the Uchiha clan once and for all. Although your strength has improved very quickly, you cannot stop me,"

Obito started laughing maniacally. The laughter echoed through the empty streets, a haunting sound that seemed to reverberate off the very walls of the village.

"…"

"Hah~~~~!!!!" Kaito sighed as he asked the system for Obito's stats.

Name: Obito Uchiha

Blood limit: Intermediate Sage body (transplanted Hashirama cells), Mangekyo Kekkei Genkai :(one eyeball)

Chakra quality: Tokubetsu Jonin

The moonlight bathed Obito's figure in an eerie glow, highlighting the malicious glint in his eye. Obito looked at Kaito impressively. He had observed Kaito and Itachi for a long time, but in the end, Itachi was the most interesting.

Itachi lived up to his expectations, and three months later, Itachi awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. After that, Obito lost interest in Kaito. But Kaito's unexpected strength surprised him. The night air grew colder, a shiver running down Kaito's spine as he faced his adversary.

Kaito grinned and responded sarcastically, "Do you think I am an idiot who doesn't understand anything and would believe your lies?!"

"Hehe... it doesn't matter if you don't believe it, but it is the truth!"

Obito suppressed the anger in his heart, and his eyes squinted at Kaito. Then, he opened his eyes suddenly, and Mangekyo composed of three sickles appeared!

"With this Mangekyo Sharingan, you should believe it?!"

"Haaaaaaa!" Kaito curled his lips in disdain. The courtyard, filled with the scent of night-blooming flowers, felt like a battlefield of ideologies and wills.

"You, hiding your face, where the hell did you get that Sharingan?"

"And just because you have our clan's Kekkei Genkai, you think you can dress up as Uchiha Madara? Screw you!"

"You-u-u!... "

Obito's eyes glared red at Kaito; he was pissed at Kaito! Kaito didn't want to continue this useless conversation. He took out a few shurikens from his kunai pouch.

The metallic gleam of the shurikens caught the moonlight, making them look like deadly stars.

Then, between the sparks, the shurikens flew towards Obito at various tricky angles. Obito looked at these shurikens with a plain face and didn't mean to evade in the slightest.

In the next instant, all the shurikens that had hit Obito passed through his body!

"The gap between us is huge, and your attack will have no effect on me!"

Obito looked at Kaito proudly. His voice was calm, almost mocking, as if the outcome was already decided. Then, he immediately threw Kaito's shurikens on the ground.

"I'm very interested in your strength. How about you come and work under my hand?"

The moon hung high in the sky, casting a cold, silvery light over the scene. The night was still, the air heavy with the anticipation of the battle that was about to unfold.

Kaito, standing firm amidst the silent trees and the shadowed courtyard, felt the weight of his decision pressing heavily on his shoulders. The future of the Uchiha clan and Konoha rested on the outcome of this night.
