With most of your Spirit recovered, you activate your Sharingan within your mental world and begin analyzing the fighting styles of the Root shinobi you've killed. You reconstruct a group of imagined enemies and continue to fight against them in your mental simulation.
Uchiha Itachi's arrival temporarily quelled the uproar within the Uchiha clan. The agitated clansmen were persuaded to return to their rooms and sleep, and the Konoha ANBU withdrew from the Uchiha compound.
Thanks to the combined persuasion of Uchiha Fugaku and his son, nearly everyone believed that the Hokage would give them a proper explanation come morning. After all, it was just one night—nothing the proud Uchiha clan, Konoha's most powerful noble house, couldn't endure.
You're jolted awake from your sleep by a mosquito bite. A surge of chakra through your body instantly clears the fog in your mind.
You summon Boss Black Cat and ask about the price of a chakra-conductive blade of suitable length made from chakra metal. After receiving a satisfactory answer, you instruct him to sell off all the excess loot seized from the Root—extra explosive tags, kunai, and the like—to trade for a reliable chakra alloy blade.
Climbing over the training field's wall, you use a sealing technique to minimize your chakra leakage, then gaze toward the heart of the Uchiha compound in the distance.
Before long, Boss Black Cat completes the transaction and delivers the chakra alloy blade you wanted. You also collect a large number of blood vials—each infused with the chakra of sealed shinobi.
There are nearly two hundred bottles, each inscribed with sealing and barrier techniques of varying strength. Some even bear Fire Seal Marks—not strong enough to permanently seal Amaterasu like a scroll might, but enough to delay it for a time.
These are your trump cards for dealing with Itachi.
Though it may seem like a moth flying into the flame, you've made up your mind: you'll risk your life to gauge just how powerful Uchiha Itachi really is!
Not long after, the first scream pierces through the night.
You undo the Transformation Jutsu keeping you in child form, revealing your tall, lean teenage figure. You drape a cloak covered with blood vials over your shoulders, wrap your face in a thick scarf—leaving only your Sharingan exposed—and place a wide straw hat on your head. With a leap from the tall wall of the training field, you descend into the shadows.
At the very moment Itachi begins slaughtering clansmen in their sleep, a cloaked and straw-hatted figure with a longsword at their waist silently crosses the blood-stained street and enters a house with its door flung wide open. Content originally comes from NoveI(F)ire.net
Inside, several Uchiha shinobi are engaged in fierce combat with Itachi, but within a few brief exchanges, they fall under his Sharingan and are killed in a single stroke.
Just as the last one is about to be executed, a vial hurtles through the air. Itachi's ear twitches—he spins and slices at the incoming bottle. It shatters into a mist of blood, and a sealing technique activates in midair, attempting to bind him in place.
But a single seal is nowhere near enough to threaten him. With a light step and a Body Flicker, Itachi easily evades the technique.
You suddenly spring up from behind the roof, using your ninja cat's hearing to track Itachi's landing point. You scatter a flurry of shuriken and leap from the opposite side of the roof to avoid his gaze.
At the same time, you shout, "The Uchiha are under attack! Someone go get the Elder!" While you run, you toss explosive tags into the air. The deafening blasts wake the entire compound.
Itachi swats aside your thrown shuriken with his sword and prepares to pursue you, but is momentarily knocked back by one of the explosive tags. Glancing behind him, he realizes the shinobi he was about to kill has vanished, and a ripple of emotion flickers across his face. Then, confident of victory, he locks eyes with you and activates his Sharingan—Amaterasu!
A blaze of black fire erupts from your back out of nowhere!
But you remain calm, stopping in your tracks and smashing several blood vials on the ground. The sealing techniques activate instantly, suppressing the black flames of Amaterasu.
You suddenly speak cryptically, "If you want to know who Uchiha Madara really is, follow me."
Unexpectedly, Itachi doesn't fall for the bait. His hands form seals at lightning speed—
Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
A massive torrent of water in the shape of a dragon barrels toward you, demolishing the tightly packed homes at the compound's center. Cries of women and children ring out from the collapsing houses.
Though some awakened shinobi rush to help, most of the Uchiha excel at Fire Style and are no match for Water Style techniques. Even those with Earth Style can't keep up—their chakra reserves pale in comparison to a Mangekyō Sharingan wielder like Itachi. One by one, they fall.
You hadn't expected Itachi to open with Water Style instead of Fire Style. Startled, you quickly use the Body Flicker to evade the Water Dragon and heat your blade to white-hot, slashing through the stream and turning it to vapor.
But just then, the black flames of Amaterasu ignite on your body again.
You can't help but admire Itachi's tactical brilliance. In just two moves, he's neutralized all the preparations you made in advance. You grit your teeth, tear off your burning cloak, and hurl it—along with the blood vials—straight at Itachi.
Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!
The massive fireball engulfs the airborne cloak, triggering the explosion of all the vials. The overlapping sealing symbols clash chaotically, forming an unstable barrier midair that manages to block the fire dragon Itachi breathes.
As the barrier shatters, you draw a Fire Sealing Scroll from your back. Pouring all your strength into your Sharingan, you link your hearing to Boss Black Cat's to locate Itachi.
Bang! Suddenly, you're sent flying, as if you'd tripped forward.
It turns out Itachi had used his incredible speed and masterful Body Flicker to get behind you while you were trying to lock onto his position. He drives a heavy kick into the back of your neck.
But in that instant, you react—tossing a fire-infused shuriken downward to ignite a corner of the Fire Sealing Scroll. This destroys the seal containing Amaterasu, unleashing the black flames at Itachi's feet!
Just as you're about to celebrate—
The burning Itachi vanishes in a puff of smoke.
Clutching your injured neck, you scan the area in pain. Around you, the Uchiha shinobi lie in pools of blood.
"You're impressive," comes Itachi's calm voice on the wind.
You can't pinpoint his location. The gap between you and a Kage-level shinobi is too vast.
Suddenly, those blood-red Mangekyō Sharingan eyes appear before you. In the next moment, your mind is dragged into a Genjutsu realm.
You immediately realize—it's Tsukuyomi.
Looks like Itachi is curious about what you know of him. But you have no intention of being interrogated!
You don't strike at Itachi—you stab straight into your own mental world!
Agonizing pain tears through you as you sever the part of your mind caught in Tsukuyomi.
Back in the real world, barely clinging to consciousness through the soul-wrenching pain, you draw your blade and heat it to white-hot. With all your strength, you slash at the still-entranced Uchiha Itachi.
