Naruto hodgepodge

As night fell, the moonlight sprinkled thinly on the sacred Nanga Shrine of the Uchiha clan, adding a bit of tranquility and mystery to it. In the depths of the dense forest surrounded by ancient trees, Uchiha Itachi was wearing a black tights unique to the Anbu, his face hidden behind a cold iron mask, and beside him were other Anbu members, who stood quietly on the trees, their eyes as sharp as hawks, penetrating the night, monitoring every move around the shrine.

As the Uchiha clan meeting ended, the Uchiha clan members walked out of the shrine in twos and threes, some talking, some silent, each with different thoughts in mind. Itachi's eyes shuttled through the crowd, looking for every possible movement, until a familiar figure, Izumi, quietly appeared in his sight. Izumi's figure was light, and he talked to an Uchiha next to him while walking. Itachi's heart trembled slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and continued to perform his mission.

Until the last figure of the clan disappeared in the night, Uchiha Mikoto, his mother, walked out of the shrine slowly alone. Her figure seemed particularly lonely under the moonlight, and her eyes were full of unspeakable sadness and confusion. Mikoto's steps were slow and heavy, and every step seemed to step on Itachi's heart, making him think of the warm time he spent with his mother and the problems facing the family now.

When Mikoto's figure completely disappeared into the night, Itachi sighed softly, turned around, and said to the Anbu members who were also fully armed beside him: "Stay where you are, and do not act without my order."

An Anbu member seemed to want to say something after hearing this, but after hesitating for a moment he finally spoke: "But, Captain?"

Itachi shook his head slightly, his eyes deep: "Report the truth to Master Danzo."

After saying that, Itachi moved and disappeared into the dense forest like a ghost, leaving the other Anbu members on standby, their hearts full of speculation and confusion about their captain's intentions.

Uchiha Itachi stepped into the solemn ancestral hall. The flickering torches on both sides illuminated the resolute figure of Uchiha Fugaku, who was standing quietly beside the ancient stone tablet waiting.

Fugaku's voice was steady and powerful: "Itachi, you are here. In the Uchiha clan, only those who have opened the Sharingan can be regarded as true Uchiha by the clan members. And you, my son, are here. I am very pleased. You did not disappoint me."

Itachi looked directly at his father, his eyes revealing a question: "Father, why did you call me here?"

Fugaku turned slowly, his eyes deep: "Only those in the clan with the Sharingan can read this stone tablet, but they can only understand part of it. With the Mangekyō Sharingan, you should be able to understand more."

Itachi raised an eyebrow slightly, "Want me to tell you the contents?"

Fugaku shook his head gently, "That's not necessary." Then, a strange red light flashed in his eyes. It was the unique pattern of the Mangekyō Sharingan, which surprised Itachi: "Mangekyo? Father also has it..."

Fugaku explained in a deep voice: "It was during the Third Shinobi World War. A close friend paid with his life so that I could open the Mangekyō Sharingan in blood and tears. However, the true awakening was on the last night six years ago."

He continued, "This stone tablet records the path to redemption for the Uchiha clan, but even with the Mangekyō Sharingan, we cannot read the text behind it. It seems that we can go further. However, although we can only understand part of it, as long as we read it, we should be able to understand, Itachi. What kind of wrong environment the Uchiha clan is currently in."

Itachi frowned, "That doesn't mean we should try to overturn this hard-earned peace by force. The village has already proposed to change the Uchiha environment, but it was Dad who refused."

Fugaku's tone was filled with helplessness: "Move back to where we were? In fact, the village wants to take away the power of our Uchiha clan. The village leaders are afraid of us, so they persecute us. They are afraid of the power of the Sharingan."

Itachi continued: "Yes, there are even rumors that Uchiha will use the Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails."

Fugaku sighed, "That is the legend of Uchiha Madara. No one has done that since him, and we don't even know if we can do it. But despite this, the top leaders are still full of fear of the former dead, and they isolate us because of fear. Since they are afraid, we have to be the only ones in power."

Itachi pressed, "So, Dad, you plan on becoming Hokage through force?"

Fugaku had a complicated expression: "Because this is the wish of the whole clan, I can't stop you all, but in order to avoid using force, I have been hiding the fact that I have the Mangekyō Sharingan."

Itachi was puzzled: "Why?"

Fugaku's eyes became extremely serious: "The Mangekyō Sharingan can control the Nine-Tails. If anyone knows about this, the clan will do something even more terrible."

"Look." As he said this, Fugaku used the ability of his Mangekyō Sharingan - the Unpredictable Phantom Eyes - on Itachi. This ability contained a kind of speculation about himself and the ability to capture uncertain elements of the picture.

In the picture, Naruto was tightly tied up by three Uchiha clan members - Uchiha Tetsuka, Uchiha Yashiro and Uchiha Inahime, and was thrown roughly in front of Uchiha Fugaku like a lamb to be slaughtered.

"Captain, we have brought the Jinchūriki here, it's time to take action." There was unquestionable determination in Tiehuo's voice.

"Go ahead, Captain, you can do it." Yashiro followed closely behind, anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"Captain, please show the true power of the Uchiha clan and lead us to glory." Inahori's words were full of admiration and trust for Fugaku.

Uchiha Fugaku slowly opened his heart-pounding Mangekyō Sharingan. In an instant, Naruto seemed to be bound by invisible chains and could not move. However, at this critical moment, the Nine-Tails roared out from Naruto's body and instantly destroyed the Uchiha family's ancestral hall. Its anger once again swept through Konoha Village. The Nine-Tails opened its huge mouth and a huge Tailed Beast Ball shot out. Both the Uchiha clan and the surrounding villages were destroyed by this destructive force. In this chaos and destruction, a figure stood proudly on the gate railing. It was Fugaku. His eyes were like a burning sea of ​​blood, and his Sharingan flashed a scarlet light.

Itachi witnessed all this and fell to his knees involuntarily, his long hair disheveled, his heart filled with indescribable shock and despair: "This..."

Fugaku's voice echoed in Itachi's ears, with an almost crazy persistence: "Many people in the clan have long been dissatisfied with the village. Once they are forced into a desperate situation, they can do anything. But Itachi, you are different. You have the ability to change all this. As long as you are an Anbu, you can quietly control the top leaders and make this change bloodless. Although small-scale conflicts are inevitable, with the help of you, the captain of the Anbu, a bloodless revolution is not impossible."

Itachi raised his head, his scarlet Sharingan still open, but his eyes were dead silent: "Bloodless Revolution..."

Fugaku stared at Itachi, his voice deep and powerful: "Itachi, you are my son, please. Help the clan."

Itachi stood there, as if he was shrouded by an invisible pressure. His scarlet Sharingan was still open, but his eyes had lost their former calmness and determination, replaced by deep despair and struggle. He knew very well that the "bloodless revolution" proposed by his father was not easy, and it was not what he wanted.

Back in the Anbu's hideout in the woods, Itachi looked particularly lonely. He tried to calm his inner turmoil, but the despair still followed him like a shadow. An Anbu member noticed the captain's strangeness and asked cautiously, "Captain? What instructions do you have?"

Itachi took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound steady: "Retreat for the time being and stay alert. I will personally report the current situation to Lord Hokage and Lord Danzo."

In the Hokage meeting room, the candlelight flickered, reflecting the solemnity on everyone's face. Itachi knelt on one knee, clenched his hands into fists, and said in a low and firm voice: "The Uchiha clan has decided to start a revolution in Konoha."

Upon hearing this, Danzo frowned, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "This situation cannot be delayed any longer. We must nip it in the bud before the storm arrives."

The Third Hokage sighed softly, his eyes full of nostalgia for the past and worries about the future: "Uchiha, we were partners who fought side by side. I always believe that through communication and understanding, we can find a peaceful solution. Please give me some time to try to resolve this crisis."

Danzo was furious when he heard what the Third Hokage said. What can you do? You should go find Naruto. You can't let Naruto get involved in such a dangerous matter as the Uchiha coup. If it gets out of control and is controlled by the Uchiha, it will be troublesome. Danzo had already decided the fate of the Uchiha in his heart, not for personal ambition, but for the Konoha Group.

After the meeting, Danzo met with Itachi alone. The room was dimly lit, with only the occasional lightning outside the window illuminating their faces. Danzo's voice was deep and powerful, with unquestionable authority: "Don't think that the Third Hokage said something nice, but at the critical moment, he would still choose to protect Konoha. I hope you make a choice. Stand on the side of Uchiha and participate in the rebellion, and perish with your family, or stand on the side of our Konoha Village and leave your brother behind before the rebellion. "

There was a trace of struggle in Itachi's eyes, and he opened his mouth slowly, his voice low and heavy: "Kill all the Uchiha..." But then, as if he realized something, he suddenly closed his mouth, his eyes full of pain and struggle.

Seeing this, Danzo continued, "Your father, as the clan leader, his position has already determined his fate. And your mother, as his wife, will also choose to face it together with him. Those clan members who have left the clan and integrated into Konoha's life are no longer pure Uchiha, and Konoha will give them shelter. And those members of the guard who incite rebellion and threaten the safety of the village must die."

"Besides that, if you wish, you can be the one who decides the fate of those ordinary clan members. As long as you are willing to bear the blame, the old men, women, and children in the Uchiha clan can also be forgiven. But as long as they live, your brother will always suffer their hatred. It all depends on your own choice."

Danzo continued, "In order to protect the village, we must suppress this before chaos occurs. The only ninjas who can take on this task are the Uchiha and Konoha double agents. Itachi, no one except you can take on this task. Are you willing to accept this mission?"

Danzo's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Itachi's heart again and again. The weather outside was thundering and lightning, and he seemed to be in an endless dark space, with forked roads all around, and each road led to despair.

Seeing that Itachi was unable to answer for the moment, Danzo did not force him and let Itachi leave first, while he was planning an emergency plan other than Itachi.
