Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 83 The Final Mission

Faced with the emotionally charged Fugaku, Menma's companion, who was completely covered up, proceeded according to the pre-arranged plan.

Beneath the mask, the newly acquired three-tomoe Sharingan suddenly swirled, and a powerful genjutsu instantly pulled Fugaku into an illusion.

Fugaku frowned, instinctively trying to break free from the illusion, but the scene that appeared before his eyes froze him in place.

...Still water?!

In the scene, Fugaku immediately recognized the mysterious man's identity: the Uchiha genius who had suddenly disappeared. But at this moment, in the memories constructed by the genjutsu, he clearly saw the entire process of Shisui falling off the cliff and being rescued by Menma.

Even more shockingly, he also witnessed the truth behind the entire "genocide" operation—no, to be precise, it was an elaborate hoax.

Creating life? What kind of ability is that? Is it some kind of bloodline limit?

The illusion clearly shows Itachi inviting the leader of the [Jin] organization to assist in the extermination of his clan, but this mysterious man secretly deceives Itachi.

Fugaku witnessed the dove-like Uchiha clan members being faked into a state of suspended animation by a power capable of creating life, while the true hawk-like members were personally executed by Menma...

The actions of the [Jin] organization? Was Itachi... being used by him?

A complex mix of emotions surged through Fugaku's heart.

The first feeling was one of relief – the Uchiha clan had not truly perished, and most of its members had been saved.

But then, the heavy reality weighed on their hearts: those rescued clansmen would probably never be able to return to Konoha. The [Jin] organization would never let them come back easily.

As the clan leader... he almost personally destroyed his entire clan...

Fugaku's clenched fist trembled slightly. His once fierce fighting spirit had vanished, replaced by deep regret and self-reproach. He lowered his head, looking as if he had suddenly aged ten years.

Itachi noticed her father's unusual behavior. She looked warily at the heavily bundled-up man beside Menma—was it an illusion? What had her father seen in the illusion?

Menma's voice broke the silence at just the right moment. "You probably want your sister to revitalize the Uchiha clan, right..." His tone was somewhat playful.

"Isn't it too heavy a burden to put on a girl's shoulders?"

"Even if the Uchiha clan spares your parents now, it won't affect your plans. Or... are you determined to harm your own parents?"

"...This isn't what we agreed on." Itachi's voice was terrifyingly low, the tomoe in his Sharingan slowly rotating. "You were only responsible for annihilating the other Uchiha clan members."

next moment.

"Hmm!"

Fugaku suddenly arched his back, a searing pain shooting through his abdomen. Unnatural black flames erupted without warning on the clan chief's robes, turning the fabric to ashes the instant it touched the flames.

【Amaterasu】

Blood tears streamed from Itachi's eyes, and the ominous black flames were unleashed from this Mangekyou Sharingan. The flames clung to Fugaku like a malignant tumor, first scorching his abdomen, then beginning to burn his internal organs. Fugaku knelt on one knee, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

"You really are extreme." Menma's voice turned cold upon seeing the sudden sneak attack.

"You crossed the line, [Ember]. The truth must be buried in darkness."

"Stop! Itachi!"

A piercing scream tore through the night. Uchiha Mikoto rushed out from the street corner, the hem of her kimono billowing in the wind as she ran. The mother's face clearly showed she had rushed from home. She never imagined she would witness her daughter brutally murder her husband.

But in the very next second—

"boom!"

The same black flames exploded on Mikoto's body. The woman, who had already retreated from the front lines, froze on the spot as flames began to spread from her chest.

So... he doesn't even spare himself?

Mikoto staggered and fell to her knees, the burning pain making her vision go black. Through her blurring vision, she saw tears streaming down her daughter's face, glistening in the moonlight.

The tear was quickly dried by the night wind.

When Itachi looked up again, his eyes held only a chilling resolve. The shockwave from the Body Flicker Technique stirred up the fallen leaves on the ground, and by the time Menma tried to stop him, only a few withered leaves remained, swirling and falling to the ground.

She was going to complete her final mission—to see her sister.

"How could this be... Itachi... How could she have become like this?!"

Shisui's voice trembled with barely concealed emotion. He stared intently in the direction where Itachi had disappeared, unable to comprehend it at all—the plan was already in progress, the doves had been rescued, and... there was absolutely no need to go this far.

But Itachi chose the most extreme method.

It wasn't a threat, it wasn't control, it was silencing them.

Even with one's own parents.

"...She really went to extremes when it came to the trolley problem."

Menma didn't respond to Shisui's shock, but instead walked towards Uchiha Fugaku, who lay in a pool of blood. Amaterasu's black flames were still burning, but Fugaku had already fainted from the excruciating pain. The flames were consuming his body, making a faint "sizzling" sound.

"Drag the chieftain's wife over here," Mianma's voice was calm. "Be careful not to touch the flames."

Shisui snapped back to reality and immediately understood Menma's intention—he wanted to save people!

Without asking any further questions, Shisui instantly appeared at the street corner, carefully avoiding the lingering flames of Amaterasu, and dragged Mikoto, who was also being scorched by the black flames, to Menma's side. The woman had already fallen into a coma, and traces of undried tears remained on her pale face.

Now, two Uchiha clansmen who were burned by Amaterasu lie side by side in front of Menma.

Next, and this is the crucial moment, two illusory figures, visible only to Menma, slowly emerged behind him…

"The scene might be a bit bloody. It's best not to watch, but it's up to you whether you do."

Before he finished speaking, the Golden Experience behind him had already swung his fists, and brilliant life energy poured out like a galaxy, crashing into Fugaku and Mikoto's broken bodies.

"Be born, new life."

In an instant, the internal organs that had been burned to ashes by Amaterasu began to sprout strange flower vines. The emerald green vines twined around the blooming pure white flowers, stubbornly spreading under the scorching black flames. Menma's kunai flashed with cold light, precisely severing the stem connected to the flames—finally, Amaterasu was completely separated from the two bodies.

However, the crisis was not over.

Fugaku, having lost most of his internal organs, quickly turned ashen-faced, and Mikoto's breathing became barely perceptible. The Gold Experience immediately began to continuously infuse them with life energy, enveloping them in a halo of light, barely sustaining their dying embers.

The severed vines were completely reduced to ashes in the black flames. As the last bit of combustible material disappeared, the Amaterasu Fire, which was said to "never be extinguished until the target is burned to ashes," finally and unwillingly dissipated into the night sky.

It's now!

"Crazy Diamonds!"

A striking blue Stand suddenly appeared, its fists unleashing astonishing regenerative power.

Zhi Shui had never seen such a bizarre sight before. The plant remains that had long since turned to ashes were actually reassembling in the air, with the vines twisting and writhing, gradually recovering into fresh internal organs.

Even more shockingly, these organs seemed to be drawn back into the two people's bodies by an invisible force, precisely filling the voids left by the burning, and even the burn wounds began to heal slowly.

This power...

Shisui's Sharingan spun wildly, trying to analyze the illogical scene before him. But just as the repair was about to be completed, Menma suddenly stopped.

It's not time to reveal my abilities yet... He gazed at the two unconscious people, silently thinking, "I'm sorry, I can't completely heal you yet. Once this is all over, I will definitely restore you to your former state."

In the end, although Fugaku and Mikoto's breathing was weak, they survived. A faint color returned to their pale faces, proving that this astonishing miracle of life had indeed occurred.

"You...you really saved them."

Shisui's voice trembled slightly. He gazed at the Fugaku couple on the ground, their breathing gradually stabilizing, and thought how hopeful and gentle their abilities were—healing wounds, giving life.

Through the holes in the mask, Shisui vaguely caught a glimpse of the emotion flashing in Menma's eyes. Was it guilt? Why? He was the one who had snatched these two lives from the clutches of death, so why did he show such a look in his eyes?

"Alright, Shisui." Menma suddenly turned around. "It's time to go. Our mission isn't finished yet."

"A mission?" Shisui paused, "Is there anything else needed..."

The conversation abruptly ended.

This time, he saw it clearly—beneath the mask, in that barely visible eye, surged an undisguised, chilling killing intent. This caused Shisui to involuntarily tense up.

"The rats at the roots...have eked out a living in the shadows for far too long."

A crow's caw echoed in the distance, and moonlight shone on the fox mask, casting a chilling gleam. "This time, for the Sharingan, that old dog will definitely crawl out of his rat hole himself."

"【The Darkness of Ninja】Shimura Danzo—"

As the last syllable faded, Shisui seemed to see countless wronged souls wailing behind Menma. Those Sharingan that had been gouged out, those innocent victims who had been sacrificed, and... Shisui's own right eye that had been taken from him.

"It's time to let his rotten ambitions and his pathetic era end—"

"They were buried together."
