Chapter 10 Supporting This Family
Qianyao's longsword repeatedly pierced Itachi's cheek.
Itachi was also trapped in this cycle. He only knew about this forbidden technique and had not learned it.
Forbidden techniques are called forbidden techniques because they come at a high price, but their effects are also extremely powerful.
Qianyao kept asking Itachi questions:
"Shisui has been dead for two years. Besides being brainwashed by the Third Hokage every day, what have you done?"
“You are just as arrogant and short-sighted as the rest of your clan. Apart from completing the mission of the Third Hokage, you have not made any effort.”
"Shimura Danzo, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura only need a little intimidation; Sarutobi Hiruzen just needs to say some nice words,"
"You will be easily fooled."
Despite Qianyao's repeated questions, Itachi remained silent.
But after dozens, even hundreds of cycles, Itachi could no longer maintain it.
"At this stage, this is the only way I can save Sasuke's life."
Qian Yao sneered, "You bastard! What right do you have to decide the fate of the other Uchiha clan members!?"
"Everyone else deserves to die because of Sasuke!?"
"You still refuse to admit your failure, to admit that you simply cannot fulfill Shisui's request!"
Itachi's face contorted in pain; having gone through this cycle hundreds of times, his mental state had completely collapsed.
He burst into wild, twisted laughter, his face contorted with rage.
"As long as the Uchiha clan is wiped out, I will have successfully prevented the civil war!"
"If Konoha's strength is not weakened, there will be no war!"
"Haha! I will not fail! I will bear this bloody sin!"
Even Shisui would understand me!
Looking at Itachi's twisted smiling face, Qianyao could naturally sense the madness in Itachi's heart.
But even the most extreme madness is useless.
Because this is within the cycle of Izanami.
After Itachi finished laughing, a new cycle began.
"You have failed. You are trapped here, which means you are incapable of destroying the Uchiha clan."
"Shisui asked you to protect the village, and also the name of the Uchiha!"
"If all the Uchiha were dead, where would the name Uchiha come from?"
"Our clan has you, Fugaku, and me—three powerful Mangekyou Sharingan users!"
"As long as we don't openly rebel, Konoha won't dare to fight us."
Itachi endured over a hundred cycles, from his initial silence as he fell into Izanami to his hysterical, frenzied release.
Under Qianyao's constant forced brainwashing, it took hundreds of cycles for him to gradually calm down from his frenzied state.
After more than two hundred cycles, all the pressure in Itachi's heart was released.
And in Itachi's eyes, fatigue was clearly visible.
No matter what he says or does, the cycle will start again after Sasuke lets out a childish scream and Chiyo slashes his cheek.
Finally, at the start of the 474th cycle, Sasuke let out a scream as Thousand Blaze slashed his cheek once more.
Itachi's legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees.
"Can we and the village really coexist?" Itachi's eyes were lifeless, and he uttered a sound that was almost delirious.
"Can the name of our Uchiha truly be passed down?"
He was constantly fighting in this world. Physical fatigue could be reset, but mental fatigue had already worn him down.
Chiyo sheathed his sword and placed one hand on Itachi's shoulder:
"Don't worry, I won't let Konoha wipe out the Uchiha."
"You shouldn't be the only one to uphold Shisui's legacy."
A glimmer of light seemed to appear in Itachi's eyes:
"Senior Qianyao, you are right. I am a failure. My abilities are limited."
Qian Yao said earnestly, "No matter how strong you become, never try to shoulder everything alone; that will inevitably lead to failure!"
"So let me join you in supporting this family."
As he spoke, Qianyao extended a hand and handed it to Itachi.
Itachi looked at Chiyo and then took his hand.
Kara...
Like the sound of breaking glass.
The entire space shattered, and the next moment, Itachi finally broke free from Izanami's forbidden technique.
Standing before him was Qian Yao.
At this moment, Qian Yao had just put on his new glasses, and his eyes were closed.
Itachi felt a little guilty, because he had lost an eye because of his senior, Senyao.
Noticing Itachi's gaze, Chiyo touched his eyes and then slowly opened them:
"Heh, don't worry, I didn't sacrifice my own eyes."
Itachi noticed that Chiyo's eyes were not grayish-white, and he felt relieved.
However, Itachi quickly got into position: "Senior Senyou, I have another ally, he..."
Qianyao raised a hand, indicating that Itachi didn't need to say anything: "I know, I'll deal with that guy who calls himself Uchiha Madara."
"Go see Danzo right now and tell him that our Uchiha clan is on guard and has started an internal conflict, and then..."
……
At the Fugaku family home.
The elder and Fugaku talked for a long time.
There are plenty of ways to stall for time.
Of course, the Grand Elder used perfectly legitimate reasons to discuss how a coup could minimize casualties among the clansmen.
Although Fugaku dreamed of a bloodless revolution, he did not reveal that Itachi was a double agent.
He hadn't even considered whether the Uchiha clan would be wiped out if Itachi joined Konoha.
Whether it's Fugaku, Itachi, or even Sasuke, it's all the same.
Their personalities are all inherited from the same source: stubborn, self-willed, and arrogant.
Rushing forward on a path of self-righteousness.
But in the end, things completely deviated from my expectations. Instead of trying to fix things, I either continued down the wrong path or simply gave up and abandoned the situation.
From a family perspective, Fugaku's willingness to be executed was to protect Sasuke.
However, as the clan leader, this act of surrendering without even fighting is inappropriate.
It is undoubtedly extremely ugly, shameful, and irresponsible.
The clan leader's mission is naturally to lead the clan to strength.
When faced with danger, one must risk everything to preserve the family line.
Fugaku, on the other hand, faced with the prospect of his clan being wiped out, didn't think about sending more of his clansmen away.
He was only concerned with being with Mikoto and putting on a tragic show with Itachi.
Other Uchiha clan members: Thank you and your whole family.
At the beginning of his conversation with the Grand Elder, Fugaku was quite serious.
After a while, Fugaku became somewhat annoyed.
He firmly believed that Itachi could take control of Konoha's leadership when the time was right.
Finally, a bloodless revolution was successfully carried out.
The Grand Elder's plans are somewhat of an overreaction.
They talked for a while.
Fugaku rubbed his temples and said, "Elder, let's call it a day. I don't think the timing is quite right yet."
The Grand Elder estimated the time and said meaningfully:
"That's true, things can change at any time, we can discuss it later."
As he spoke, he stood up.
The elder was Fugaku's uncle in terms of seniority, so even though Fugaku was the clan head, he still stood up and saw the elder off.
