Chapter 100 Death is Coming

Uchiha Fugaku's shadow clone slowly dissipated. He silently took off the jonin vest issued by Konoha Village and stared at it quietly, his eyes full of complicated emotions. This vest was once his pride as a ninja, but now it has become a heavy burden in his heart. Fugaku has always regarded himself as a Konoha ninja, and he has never taken it off even at clan gatherings. Fugaku has always regarded himself as a Konoha ninja, and he has never taken off this vest that symbolizes his identity even at Uchiha clan gatherings. Even at this moment of planning a coup, he still naively fantasized about a bloodless revolution, and self-hypnotized that this was a coup launched by the Uchiha clan for Konoha Village.

However, when his most promising son betrayed him at this critical moment and showed him another future for Sasuke and the Uchiha clan, Fugaku felt a complex emotion in his heart, with disappointment, anger, and relief intertwined. He sighed, which was a deep helplessness, but also a kind of calmness that was about to be relieved.

Uchiha Mikoto stood quietly beside him, silently observing her husband's sigh and relief. She was a smart woman and quickly understood Itachi's choice from Fugaku's simple narration. Recalling the night when her husband officially announced the coup plan at the clan meeting, she was distraught at the time, because she had already foreseen this outcome. Konoha Village is a huge collective, and the Uchiha clan has no ability to fight against the other hundreds of clans with the power of one clan. She has not upgraded her Sharingan since she opened her eyes, and she has not been affected by too many negative emotions. Naturally, she has deep doubts about her husband's naive plan. This coup with no chance of success was impossible to succeed from the beginning.

Fugaku passed the image that Itachi showed him to Mikoto: "Perhaps, this is the best ending. No matter what path he chooses, he is our son."

Mikoto gently held Fugaku's hand and leaned her head on his arms, experiencing the last tenderness and conveying her silent support to her husband.

Fugaku and Mikoto put on the traditional clothes of the Uchiha clan, which was their deep-seated insistence on the family's honor and the last dignity of the Uchiha clan. They knelt at home, waiting for the judgment of fate, even if that judgment came from their dearest son.

The night was as dark as ink. Itachi's figure stretched out in the dim moonlight. His steps were cautious and heavy, and every step seemed to be on his heart. Home, a place that was once full of warmth and laughter, was now shrouded in depression and ominousness. Itachi knew that tonight, he would face the most cruel task - to end the life of his loved ones with his own hands.

The lights in the living room were dim, as if even the light was afraid of the impending tragedy. Itachi's eyes penetrated the weak light and slowly swept towards his parents' room. There was the battlefield where he was about to face his fate.

"This way..." The voice of his father, Uchiha Fugaku, was low and helpless, penetrating the silent air and reaching Itachi's ears. "There is no trap, come in."

Itachi's heart suddenly tightened, but he did not let down his guard. His Mangekyō Sharingan quietly opened, and his scarlet eyes flashed with complex emotions and determination. He gently, almost silently, pushed the door open with his left hand, as if he was not only pushing open the door, but also the shackles of fate.

In the room, his father Fugaku and mother Mikoto knelt with their backs to him. They looked particularly lonely and helpless, as if they were waiting for some inevitable verdict. Itachi's throat was dry, and he squeezed out a word with difficulty: "Dad..."

Fugaku lowered his head, his silence revealing endless sorrow; Mikoto looked up at the wall, as if she was trying to escape, not wanting to face her beloved son whom she had to give up.

"I don't want to kill each other with my own son." Fugaku's voice was low and sad, and every word was like a sharp knife, cutting Itachi's heart.

With a flash of sword light, Itachi's sword was already tightly grasped in his hand, the cold light reflected his complex expression. "Really? You are standing on the village side." Fugaku's words were filled with a hint of understanding and helplessness.

Itachi opened his mouth, but found that he could not speak at all. He only let out a low whimper in his throat: "Dad, Mom, I..."

Mikoto's voice was gentle but firm: "We understand, Itachi." There was no blame in her eyes, only deep understanding and tolerance.

"Itachi, promise me one last time, I'll leave Sasuke to you." Fugaku's words were filled with final instructions and hope.

At this moment Itachi finally confirmed that his parents did not want to be his enemy. They chose to end everything with their own hands. This heavy realization made him cry like rain, and the hand holding the knife trembled with pain.

"Don't be afraid, this is the path you have decided. Compared to you, our pain only lasted for a moment. Even though I think differently, I am still proud of you. You are such a kind child." Fugaku's words were like a warm current, trying to warm Itachi's cold heart.

Itachi remembered Danzo's order that only the guards must be eliminated, and his mother was not one of them. "Mother, you don't have to die." There was a hint of pleading in his voice.

Mikoto shook her head gently, her eyes gleaming with determination, "I am your father's partner, so naturally I will be with him through life and death. Since fate has determined this, I am willing to face it with your father. Itachi, do it."

At this moment, a noisy sound of footsteps suddenly came, and Itachi's heart instantly rose to his throat. He was afraid that Sasuke had returned early, and he was even more afraid that something else would happen. Driven by this fear and sense of urgency, Itachi closed his eyes, tears mixed with despair, and stabbed the knife into his parents' bodies.

On the other side, Izumi had just completed the upgrade of the three-magatama Sharingan, and an unprecedented power suddenly surged into her body, as if opening the door to a new world for her. With the power filling her body, she wanted to kill Itachi immediately to avenge her mother. However, Itachi had already left, leaving behind only emptiness and loneliness, and at this moment, Obito wearing a tiger skin mask blocked her way like a ghost.

Izumi didn't hesitate, quickly grabbed a few shurikens from his ninja backpack, and shot them at Obito without hesitation. However, Obito's figure was like a phantom, and when the shuriken passed through his body, he suddenly used the chakra chain, tripped Izumi and threw her heavily to the ground. The chain not only bound her body, but also locked her chakra, making her unable to move for a while.

Obito pointed his hand at her, and a chakra knife shot out from his hand. A feeling of despair and powerlessness came over her instantly, as if it was going to swallow her up. However, at this moment, the necklace she was wearing suddenly flashed a dazzling light, sending a large amount of chakra to her. She took the opportunity to break free from the chain and avoided Obito's fatal blow.

Obito uttered a "huh" and his eyes fell on her necklace. He had never seen such a ninja tool that could perform ninjutsu by itself. Naruto's words came to Quan's mind. He once told her to run away when she encountered danger. However, her hatred for Itachi and the influence of the chakra brought by the Sharingan made her judgement. She only wanted revenge and didn't want to leave. Looking at her mother's body, she struggled in her heart.

Seeing this, Obito once again used wooden spikes to shoot at her, so fast that she had no time to dodge. Fortunately, the earth chakra that suddenly surged out of the necklace formed an earth flow wall, blocking this fatal blow.

"A necklace that can perform ninjutsu by itself, how interesting." Obito's lips curled up into a playful smile, and then he continued to try to attack. This time he added a few more wooden spikes, obviously wanting to take down Izumi in one fell swoop.

However, Izumi stood there like a fool, as if she was frozen by some force. Naruto, who was far away in the Hokage's office, looked at Izumi's reaction and felt anxious. "This silly woman, damn it, it would be great if we could communicate." He was secretly anxious and suddenly remembered the secret technique of the Yamanaka family. His classmate Ino was from the Yamanaka family. He planned to find a way to exchange this secret technique in the future so that he could better communicate with people through a medium or mind.

Naruto once again frantically transferred chakra into Izumi's body through the necklace, and the water-style water array wall sealed in the necklace once again blocked the attack of the wooden thorns. Feeling the chakra sent by Naruto, Izumi finally stopped standing there stupidly, and she began to run away desperately.

However, how could Obito let go of this pair of three-magatama Sharingan so easily? He once again used the chakra chain to chase Izumi, and the necklace also used the fire style fireball technique to shoot at Obito. Izumi also took the opportunity to use the great fireball technique to attack Obito, trying to stop his pursuit.

However, Obito easily canceled the chakra chain, his body became hollow again, and he rushed to Izumi's side through the fireball technique without any injury. After a simple physical battle, Izumi was defeated and caught by Obito. However, the lightning release in the necklace was activated, and the lightning strike technique came, which numbed Obito's hand for a moment, and he let go of Izumi.

Obito felt the electric therapy just now, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes: "It's really interesting. I am now more interested in your necklace than you."

Quan also realized the extraordinary nature of the necklace Naruto gave her. It not only replenished her chakra but also sealed a variety of ninjutsu. If she could survive, she should really thank Naruto as her boss. Now she has calmed down and realized that she has no chance of winning against this enemy. The only best strategy is to escape.

Obito looked at the fleeing Izumi, with a sneer on his face, and directly used the Fire Style - Fire Formation. The Fire Style's barrier ninjutsu formed a three-dimensional flame block, blocking Izumi's escape route. However, Obito now did not have the powerful chakra support of the Samsara Eye, so this formation was not strong.

Naruto looked at Izumi's desperate eyes and activated the last ninjutsu in the necklace again - the strongest one among his current five elements ninjutsu: Wind Style - Whirlwind Blade. Through highly concentrated chakra, he controlled the power of wind to form an extremely sharp wind blade with strong cutting ability. He rushed the whirlwind blade to the center of the large square of the barrier, which was the thinnest part. As the whirlwind blade disappeared, a crack appeared in the fire formation. Izumi seized the opportunity and ran out towards the gap.

After another failure, Obito finally took the power of Izumi and the necklace seriously. He stopped playing around, canceled the fire formation, and quickly chased after Izumi. He used space ninjutsu to catch up with Izumi, and then knocked her to the ground with a few physical attacks. He also snatched the necklace, but the five elements ninjutsu sealed in the necklace had been used up, so it didn't glow this time. Obito took the magical necklace in his hand and played with it. With his IQ of 250, he naturally saw that this necklace could conduct chakra, just like Nagato's black stick that controlled the Six Paths.

After playing with it, he looked at the desperate girl lying on the ground, unable to struggle, with a joking look, intending to end her life and take down her Sharingan. "Die", at Izumi's last moment, Obito used the ninja's universal killing weapon, the Kunai.
