Dusk, woods.

The man wearing an orange mask stood in front of Itachi and said with a see-through laugh:

"See, this is the fate between us. No matter how things turn out, you will still be on my side, Itachi."

Itachi looked up at the man in front of him who called himself 'Madara'. Although he had imagined that this man was deceiving him and that his identity was someone else.

But as someone with superior authority is oppressing me, this feeling is unmistakable.

The opponent's strength is very strong.

In particular, the power of the Sharingan seems to be linked to space.

"Have you anticipated this situation?"

"After the Uchiha lost me, isn't it natural for the Uchiha to be like this? Senju Tobirama was originally wary of my power. Even if I left, his wariness of the Uchiha clan would not diminish. I will inherit his legacy.

The disciples will naturally try their best to get rid of the Uchiha clan."

Madara said calmly and forcefully.

Itachi heard the hatred in Madara's tone.

Not only was he resentful towards the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, but he was also angry and murderous towards the Uchiha clan who abandoned him and followed the will of the Senju clan.

Itachi knew that the man in front of him coincided with his purpose.

He took such a risk and sneaked into Konoha just to find an opportunity to take action against the Uchiha clan.

"I know, I will take action on the night of June 19th. But I hope you can agree to one condition."

Itachi spoke calmly, but his calm tone was full of threats.

"Conditions? Tell me."

"I can help you take revenge on the Uchiha clan, but you are not allowed to attack Konoha, nor are you allowed to attack Sasuke."

"What if I say no?"

"Then I will hunt you down to the end of the world. Even if I am not your opponent, you must be recruiting me like this because I am of great use to you."

Itachi said swornly.

Madara laughed.

"You really are a brat who shouldn't be underestimated, Itachi. You're right, I really need you to help me deal with someone."

"who?"

Itachi frowned.

"Uchiha Ruri."

"Why?"

Itachi asked in confusion.

Uchiha Ruri, like Madara, is a traitor to the Uchiha clan and a sinner of Konoha.

He originally thought that after Uchiha Ruri defected, he would meet with Madara, but he didn't expect that Madara would ask him to deal with Uchiha Ruri.

Madara did not answer Itachi's question, but continued: "In fact, dealing with Uchiha Ruri is also a good thing for Konoha. After all, leaving such a dangerous and powerful rebellious ninja outside has always been Konoha's heart.

There is a thorn in the root, and I think you are the best person to remove this thorn."

"Yeah?"

Instead of choosing to do it himself, Itachi let him do it instead. Itachi began to assume that Madara needed the help of his Sharingan because he was unable to deal with Uchiha Ruri.

The best way to deal with the Sharingan is to use the Sharingan to counterattack.

But what Madara said is also true. Among all the wanted criminals in Konoha, Uchiha Ruri is also an important S-class criminal, and is a dangerous existence on the same level as Orochimaru of the Sannin.

Somewhere now, he must be secretly implementing a dangerous plan to take revenge on Konoha and subvert Konoha's rule.

In this way, as a member of Konoha ninja, we must eliminate such dangerous rebellious ninjas in order to ensure the stability of the village.

"I understand. If you can agree to my two conditions, I will help you act together."

Itachi nodded and agreed to Madara's request.

Madara stretched out his hand.

"Then, happy cooperation."

June 19, 7 a.m.

At the entrance, Itachi was already ready to go.

Today is the day he performs a special mission.

This task will have a huge impact on his future life.

However, there is no turning back now.

"Brother, please teach me how to use shuriken after I get out of school this afternoon."

Just when Itachi was about to stand up at the entrance and walk out the door, Sasuke's voice came from behind.

Itachi turned around, looked at Sasuke who looked expectant, and smiled helplessly.

"I'm very busy at work today...let dad accompany you."

"But……"

Sasuke stepped forward, about to refute Itachi's words.

With a sudden pain, Itachi put his finger on Sasuke's forehead, making him swallow his next words.

"Sorry, forgive me, next time, Sasuke."

"Really, brother, you say that every time."

Sasuke looked at Itachi a little aggrievedly.

"There's nothing we can do about it. However, maybe from today on, you won't have any free time..."

"I won't believe your lies, brother. You lie to me every time. Last time too, you lied to me about dating that woman, but inexplicably made dad angry."

Itachi was silent for a moment, then smiled, stood up, and walked out of the house.

"The wind direction has indeed started to change drastically today..."

Li Huo walked into the woods and felt the breath of the woods. In the calm air, he smelled a violence hidden under the calm.

Then, a smile appeared on his face.

In other words, today will be the fall of Konoha Uchiha, an important day worth remembering.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, Li Huo did not feel too much humiliation.

His temperament is that of a non-competitive person. Perhaps from the very beginning, he longed for an ordinary and stable life and did not like to fight or kill.

However, since I followed that old man from Uchiha Shifang, I have been working for him and processing information for him, and then I have been tricked by the old man into doing some shameful things.

If you think about it carefully, it has been a life full of motivation.

Fortunately, his judgment was correct, and the assassination date was June 19, the day before the coup.

This is the best moment to annihilate everyone in the Uchiha clan.

Because for the coup the next day, the tribesmen on the previous day will definitely recharge their batteries and not go out. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

And since the coup was to take place the next day, no one would have expected that the enemy would launch targeting operations the day before the coup.

If it were him, he would also choose to take action at this time.

As long as he knew that there were spies within the Uchiha clan, that the top management would not let anyone go, and the mobilization situation within the Uchiha clan, Li Huo could easily judge this.

Just as the actions of the Uchiha clan are all under the supervision of the top management, the time when the top management takes action will undoubtedly be exposed to his eyes.

Things are always relative.

There are many Uchiha children studying in ninja schools, and it must have been dark when they got home.

It is the correct time to start after 7pm.

After figuring out all the steps, Li Huo left the forest. There was no need to inquire further.

He walked back to the tribe's territory and arrived at the agreed open space, where a large group of Uchiha children were waiting for his arrival.

Li Huo walked over with a smile on his face and smiled at the group of children who were not yet at school age and said:

"Today, let's play hide and seek."

"Itachi's side is ready. You can go there too, Ryoma. Bring Uchiha Shifang here. I have questions to ask him."

In a living room at the root, Danzo opened his sharp eyes and said to the man next to him.
