Side Story: The Travels of Fugaku and His Wife 5

Kaguya really didn't want to talk about those vexing things with this world's Zetsu. After all, what was the point of reviving the Ten-Tails?

It couldn't even beat a crow!

When someone came looking for trouble, a pile of her descendants would show up to help beat the person to death. When she saw something she liked, someone would buy it and give it to her without her even having to open her mouth…

Ever since settling in Konoha, she had been earnestly cared for by the Hyuga clan. Even Hiashi Hyuga would, in accordance with ancient etiquette, specially take time out every day to dine with her.

Sometimes, when Fugaku Uchiha came to visit Hiashi, he would also have to present Kaguya with a gift as a junior. Even the strongest in Konoha, the Fifth Hokage Itachi Uchiha, was very respectful of her status.

Her days were comfortable, her status was high, and she had people protecting her well… After the God Tree was stripped from her body, Kaguya didn't really want to get involved in those troublesome things from the past.

Never mind this world's Zetsu, even the Black Zetsu of the other world, she would only summon it to tell her stories when she had no other choice.

If it weren't for her seniority, she was truly a Buddha-like girl.

Kaguya glanced at the Zetsu who was looking at her pitifully, and couldn't help but frown. "Neji, Fugaku, Mikoto, let's leave this world quickly!"

"Ancestor, we might have to wait a little…"

Neji Hyuga had inquired about the situation and quickly stood by her side to explain in a low voice, "It seems there is some problem with this world's Lord Itachi…"

After listening to Neji's brief explanation of the Uchiha's love-hate entanglements in this world, Kaguya tilted her head. "Hm? A branch of my descendants in this world was annihilated?"

To be honest, it was a little cute.

Beside her, Suigetsu looked at Karin, his face flushed red. "Hey, Karin, I think I'm in love!"

Bang!

A wooden stake pierced through Suigetsu's head!

Water splashed everywhere!

The Zetsu looked at Suigetsu's head reforming and said in a raspy, sinister voice, "How dare you use language to offend Mother! I will kill you!"

"Huh? She actually gave birth to a monster like you?"

The moment Suigetsu's words fell, many eyes immediately looked over!

Every Uchiha clan member activated their Sharingan, their scarlet eyes staring at the disrespectful Suigetsu. For a moment, it seemed everyone's attention had shifted here!

Fugaku didn't even care about the hatred between the two 'sons', and waved his hand angrily!

Uchiha Enkei flew down and landed by Suigetsu's side, pinching his neck. "How dare you blaspheme the Ancestor! Kid, I'll send you to the Pure Land right now!"

"Wait…"

Sasuke Uchiha quickly spoke up to interrupt his action, saying awkwardly, "He is my friend, he has helped me a lot…"

"So what!"

Uchiha Enkei's face was cold as he introduced Kaguya, "This is the great Ancestor of our Uchiha clan! She is someone who can enter the Naka Shrine and preside over our clan meetings!"

Sasuke Uchiha: "…"

Forgive his poor eyesight, he really couldn't see it.

A woman with such an outstanding temperament and so young and beautiful, how could she be the Uchiha's ancestor? If you said she looked like the ancestor of the Byakugan clan, Sasuke felt he could勉强 believe it!

"Enkei-kun, let him go for now!"

Mikoto gave a soft order and said in a low voice, "We are talking about Itachi and Sasuke. We have to get to the bottom of things…"

"Speak!"

Kaguya moved lightly and stood beside Mikoto. "I am also very interested in the affairs of this world. At the very least, I must find out why a branch of my descendants in this world was wiped out."

A tragic story of a clan's annihilation.

After the two women joined the topic, the style of painting changed abruptly, faintly showing a trend of turning into an ethical drama.

Mikoto Uchiha stroked Itachi's hair and comforted him softly, "Just tell us here. Whatever grievances you have, everyone can help you resolve them…"

Itachi glanced at Sasuke, then at the parents and clansmen from another world, lowered his head, and said softly, "This matter should probably start from the Nine-Tails' Rampage…"

A certain Uchiha suddenly looked at his captain and interjected, "Hey, I remember that on the night of the Nine-Tails' Rampage, many of our Uchiha who had married into the clan died in battle…"

"Nonsense!"

Fugaku interrupted them and said in a low voice, "On the night of the Nine-Tails' Rampage, the village did not allow us Uchiha to participate in the defense. I could only send out those clansmen with other surnames. We still had to contribute to Konoha."

Mikoto and Kaguya glanced around, silencing the surrounding Uchiha. Only then did they continue, "What happened on the night of the Nine-Tails' Rampage?"

"That night, the Fourth Hokage died in battle…"

"Mother, let me tell the story!"

The Zetsu suddenly drilled out from the ground, interrupting Itachi. It then looked at the displeased Kaguya and shrunk back. "The instigator of the Nine-Tails' Rampage was Obito Uchiha. Because Konoha was gradually reviving, and the ninja world was heading towards peace…"

"Obito, for the sake of his future plans, used the Nine-Tails to assassinate the Fourth Hokage and his wife, causing Konoha to suffer heavy losses… He had originally thought that the other ninja villages would continue to wage war on Konoha, but he hadn't expected the Third Great Ninja War to be completely quelled."

"Later, Obito mentioned that the worst outcome of the Nine-Tails' Rampage would be that the Uchiha and Konoha would turn against each other, and he could also pick out some Uchiha ninjas who would obey 'Madara'… He just didn't expect that Itachi would kill all the Uchiha!"

"…"

"That's right."

Itachi's head hung lower and lower. He let out a long sigh and continued, "From that time on, the relationship between the clan and the village was very tense, until the later clan meeting, when the clansmen wanted to use force to overthrow Konoha…"

"Later, left with no choice, I chose to accept Danzo's proposal. At the cost of killing all my clansmen, I had them allow Sasuke to live on in Konoha."

As he said the last part, Itachi raised his head, looked at his little brother whose face was gradually filling with pain, and continued in a deep voice, "In order to monitor Konoha to fulfill its promise and to protect Sasuke, I did not commit suicide, but chose to defect…"

"…"

All the Uchiha clansmen were silent for a moment, then once again began to chatter noisily. "We should really let the Fifth come over and see the ugly face of Danzo!"

"That's right, we'll file a report when we get back, applying to assassinate Danzo!"

"That's hard to say. If we go back, we should attack the Third, and then the Sarutobi clan, in order to protect themselves, will definitely sell out Danzo!"

"Makes sense. This way, we'll force them to kill Danzo! Not even the Fifth or the Great Sage Kitahara could object, right?"

"That dog-thief Danzo has worked his ass off for that old geezer Hiruzen all his life, only to be sold out by the Sarutobi clan in the end. He must not be in a very good mood!"

"Shut up!"

Fugaku's face was not good. He glanced at Sasuke, then at the remorseful Itachi. "Why were you so foolish…"

"This is impossible! He must have done it for the power of the Mangekyo!"

Sasuke roared from the side. "His Sharingan was about to go blind, so he set his sights on my eyes… I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"

The Zetsu, cowering at the side, said, "When the two of them were fighting just now, I heard it clearly. What Sasuke said is all true…"

Itachi Uchiha: "…"
