Chapter 60: As Xia Yan, I am obedient and compliant, but as Itachi, I strike with a heavy blow! (Please support and subscribe!) The Third Hokage was dumbfounded. It couldn't possibly be Itachi! How could Itachi, who loved Konoha and the Land of Fire so much, do such a thing? "It must be someone impersonating him!" The Third Hokage said without hesitation. "But who could be impersonating Itachi?" "That unknown Uchiha?" When Xia Yan attacked, he made no effort to conceal his Sharingan. The Three Tomoe, such a distinctive feature, was naturally seen by many guards who were not killed. This is also the main reason why many people doubted that Itachi Uchiha was being impersonated - the Three Tomoe on the surface could only belong to Itachi Uchiha and Xia Yan! And Xia Yan, who had already given up the glory of the Uchiha and had weaker strength, obviously couldn't have accomplished the feat of infiltrating the palace of the Land of Fire alone - there were three Jōnin guards!
Although in the eyes of true strong warriors, those guards were all trash, Xia Yan couldn't even crush them. He might not even be a match for that group of trash! So the only possibility left was Itachi Uchiha! "It's not impossible." Danzo pondered for a moment and said, "I remember that recently the daimyo seemed to have made a move on the Uchiha's assets. Wasn't it Itachi who retaliated when someone attacked the Uchiha's assets before?" "It might be him this time." The Third Hokage frowned. That seems to make sense? But in the end, he shook his head. "No, I don't believe Itachi would go after the daimyo. Such behavior is too outrageous, and Sasuke might be implicated... I think someone is impersonating him." The Third Hokage paused and said, "I will contact Itachi later and ask about the situation." Danzo remained silent. He didn't trust the Uchiha, not even Itachi, who helped Konoha exterminate his own clan! But at this moment, he was thinking about another question - could the person who broke into the Root Research Lab and left inscriptions be Itachi Uchiha? Among the stolen materials, were there Fugaku and Mikoto's eyes? Could it be that he learned something and then targeted the Root? Danzo fell into contemplation. Meanwhile, in Akatsuki... "It wasn't me." Itachi's face turned dark. "I've been with Kisame these past few days... Who is slandering me?" His face darkened, and his brows furrowed.
Attack the daimyo? He would be insane to do that. "But according to the intelligence, that person does indeed possess the Sharingan..." Obito also found it strange, his brows slightly furrowed. "It's not you, and it's not me. Could there be another Sharingan that I don't know about?" Could it be that person who always thinks about having children, Xia Yan? "Hey, is there a possibility that it's not from the Uchiha clan?" Zetsu suddenly proposed a possibility. Obito's brows furrowed. "Didn't White Zetsu investigate and find traces of Sharingan genjutsu on the bodies of the deceased?" "No, what I mean is that the person does indeed possess the Sharingan, but they are not a member of the Uchiha clan." Black Zetsu said, "What if it's a ninja with a transplanted Sharingan?" Like Hatake Kakashi! As soon as these words were spoken, Obito and Itachi fell silent. Of course, Kakashi would never do such a thing, but there was one person who might not hesitate - Danzo! He had the most Sharingan in the world today. With the power of the Root, it wouldn't be difficult to secretly cultivate a skilled individual with Sharingan.
Kage-level may not be achievable, but with Elite Jōnin-level ninjas cooperating with the Three Tomoe Sharingan, and some well-placed setups, it may not be impossible to achieve all of this. But why is he causing trouble at this time? A war could break out at any moment, and he wants to start an internal conflict? XX..... "Could Danzo be trying to provoke the nobles against the Uchiha and then plan to exterminate the Uchiha clan?" When Itachi thought of this possibility, he couldn't sit still. He stood up and said, "I'm going out... you should know what I want to do." He doesn't care about the other Uchiha, but Sasuke must not be harmed! Obito and Black Zetsu nodded. They knew that Itachi was probably going to go out and show his strength to deter Danzo's ambitions. But before Itachi could take a step. Suddenly. A White Zetsu appeared out of nowhere. "Something's not right. Uchiha Itachi has started killing again. Several high-ranking officials and nobles who have previously targeted the Uchiha clan have all been wiped out!" "And this guy doesn't even bother to hide. He shows his face in broad daylight, wearing our uniform, without any intention of concealing..." "We need to stop him. This will easily create more enemies for Akatsuki. Wait, why are you here, Itachi? Weren't you supposed to exterminate the clan?" Looking at Uchiha Itachi, White Zetsu was confused. Obito looked at Itachi in a daze, also confused.
Uchiha Itachi was the most confused. "Who the hell is using my name to do such things?" Who? Of course, it's Shi Yan! Since he's already out, he might as well do more things while he's at it. Anyone who dares to insult my Uchiha clan must die! So he didn't hesitate to find several nobles and high-ranking officials who had targeted the Uchiha clan and directly slaughtered them. Shi Yan: As Shi Yan, I am submissive and obedient. As Itachi, I strike with full force! And when he returned to Konoha. The reward from the daimyo had already been issued. Shi Yan immediately said, "As a member of the Uchiha clan, it is our duty to serve the country. As the head of the Uchiha clan, I cannot accept such a generous reward!" Please, Lord Daimyo, take back this order! tz: "..." Take back the order? Can I dare to do that? So the reward was issued again. Shi Yan once again declined, saying, "Please, Lord Daimyo, think twice." The daimyo replied, "I have thought five times already. You must accept this reward!" Shi Yan said, "What have my Uchiha clan done to deserve such a generous gift? How can I accept it?" They went back and forth, refusing and declining three times each, making the envoys travel back and forth between Konoha and the capital like dogs. In the end, unable to resist the insistence of the daimyo, Shi Yan could only reluctantly accept the reward... In the world of Hokage, there is no such custom of modesty as in Shi Yan's previous life. Except for Namikaze Minato, who has a gentle personality, all the other experts have strong personalities and invasive tendencies. Shi Yan's continuous refusal was seen by observant people like Danzo, who secretly nodded in their hearts. "It's obvious that he is very concerned about the current Uchiha and Uchiha Itachi's involvement in the killings... The person who attacked the daimyo is definitely not him." Everyone thought to themselves, and the already small suspicion completely disappeared. As Shi Yan finished dealing with the daimyo's envoy, he was approached by someone else. "Shi Yan, have you heard any news about Itachi?" Sasuke's face was cold, his teeth clenched.
