You concealed your face behind a veil of flame and took out a freshly excavated three-tomoe Sharingan from Uchiha Izumi's corpse, handing it to Mizuki.
Staring at the bloody eyeball in his hand, Mizuki trembled, his eyes darting in panic.
You abruptly yanked up his sleeve, revealing a dark, half-finished Curse Mark already etched into his skin.
You reassured him that you were the one Orochimaru had sent to contact him—and then threatened him. If he wanted Orochimaru's favor, he would have to cooperate with you and help complete the mission. As for the Sharingan, that was his reward. If he succeeded, you'd even give him the other one. With both eyes, he could gain power on par with Kakashi!
Sure enough, Mizuki took the bait. Bowing and scraping, he agreed to assist you.
What you wanted was his identity—as an Academy instructor.
...
[4:00 PM]
Following your orders, Mizuki forged a Hokage directive and entered the Uchiha district with three scrolls you had prepared. There, he linked up with Uchiha Setsuna, who was already in position.
You, meanwhile, once again departed the area enclosed by the Reverse Summoning Disruption Barrier.
After carefully reviewing the intel sent by Boss Black-Cat via your psychic link—detailing the Leaf Village's outer defenses—you gave the signal to initiate the Reversed Summoning Technique.
You were transported out of the village, reappearing in a hidden corner of the Forest of Death. Counting heads, you noticed an extra, older ninja cat among them. It turned out to be an old contract partner of Granny Yukina's from her youth.
You nodded. One more cat meant one more Uchiha to save. But at the same time, you couldn't help feeling a twinge of worry for Granny Yukina's aging body.
Drawing your Black-Blade Tachi, you relied solely on taijutsu, augmented by your Sharingan, to silently eliminate the surrounding sentries with lethal precision.
...
[5:00 PM]
Elsewhere, Uchiha Setsuna and Granny Yukina each carried a baby, posing as relatives visiting the Uchiha clan.
Thanks to your forged directive—crafted with insider knowledge from Root—and Mizuki's solid reputation as a longtime Academy teacher, the five-person team walked right out of the Uchiha compound before the massacre began.
Along the way, Setsuna clearly noticed an increasing number of checkpoints. Mizuki picked up on it too.
But Mizuki's nerves were weak. Even though he had your forged documents and his own status as a teacher to lean on, he panicked near the village gates.
Sensing something was off, Root operatives swiftly surrounded the group!
Their cover was too fragile to withstand scrutiny. Left with no choice, Uchiha Setsuna engaged the Anbu.
"Damn it… this is bad!"
You received the emergency transmission from a ninja cat and instantly knew things were going south.
Thankfully, you had a contingency plan. You ordered several ninja cats to flee toward the Land of Earth.
"Stay linked with me psychically—don't look back, just run!"
You turned back toward the village alone, slicing through two Anbu at a checkpoint on your way, causing a massive commotion.
Finally, you caught up with Setsuna's group. Unsheathing your Black-Blade Tachi, you joined the fray.
...
[6:00 PM]
You and Setsuna fought back-to-back, retreating while Granny Yukina covered the two Uchiha infants, leading them toward the village outskirts.
You knew it in your heart—the night of the massacre had begun. Before long, Itachi and Obito would finish their bloody task and turn their sights on you. Once that happened, escape would be nearly impossible.
Konoha's Anbu forces had already mobilized and surrounded you.
Fortunately, the boundary of the Reverse Summoning Disruption Barrier was within reach.
...
[7:00 PM]
Suddenly, an explosion rocked the Ninja Academy. Three thousand explosive tags detonated, enough to obliterate an entire classroom of students and teachers.
The pressure on your group lightened noticeably—the concentration of Anbu near you thinned.
You seized the opportunity and bolted toward the barrier.
But just then, a figure wearing an orange, swirling spiral mask appeared out of thin air, blocking your path!
Obito had arrived. It seemed Itachi's side was nearly wrapped up, and time was running out.
Out of the corner of your eye, you noticed something strange about Setsuna—his eye socket had a faint white sheen. Apparently, he'd followed your advice and transplanted White Zetsu cells into his left eye.
Good. That meant he could still fight.
Fire Style: Majestic Flame Devastation!
You spewed fire at your feet. But it wasn't just ordinary orange-red flame—streaks of emerald green light shimmered through it.
The moment the flame hit the ground, it spread into a massive inferno, engulfing your group, the pursuing Anbu, and even Obito.
This multicolored fire devoured anything it touched—ninja or not—sapping their physical and spiritual energy in an instant. Combined with the searing heat of the orange flames, even a Jonin wouldn't survive contact. There was no time to react.
Yet under your precise control, the inferno harmed none of your allies—Setsuna's team remained unscathed.
You took the chance to push toward the barrier.
Maintaining such a massive fire sea was draining even for your current chakra reserves. Fortunately, every ninja who fell into your flames provided a chakra boost as they burned.
Still, even with those chakra "recharges," keeping the fire up for five minutes was pushing it.
And Obito wasn't one to sit idle. Though he was temporarily forced into his intangibility state, he wasn't out of the fight.
Then, the moment you feared finally arrived. Obito braved the flames and attacked—using Kamui, he hurled two giant shuriken at Granny Yukina and lunged toward you with a wooden spike.
You raised your blade to intercept. The Black-Blade Tachi, now infused with your Fire Style chakra, roared with dark green toxic flames and billowing smoke.
But Obito wasn't aiming for you.
Phasing straight through the defenses you and Setsuna had formed, he lunged at Granny Yukina, who held the two babies.
She swatted away the shuriken with her blade, but her aging body couldn't dodge in time—Obito's wooden spike pierced her side.
At the same moment, the fire around you twisted, splitting into two massive dragons—one red, one green—rushing toward Obito's back.
Forced to react, Obito went intangible again. Granny Yukina, though stabbed, had avoided a lethal blow.
You used Body Flicker, flashing to her side. Scooping her and the two infants into your arms, you hurled them toward the edge of the barrier.
Then, wielding your smoke-shrouded, poison-flaming tachi, you struck at the hovering Obito again and again—your goal wasn't to injure him, but to keep him intangible.
"We're pulling out!" Setsuna caught Granny Yukina mid-air and immediately activated the Reversed Summoning with a ninja cat. The four of them vanished without a trace.
Now alone, you locked eyes with Obito.
With a fierce roar, you swung your blade—another dragon of green flame surged forth, cruder than the last, joining the red and green dragons already flying toward Obito.
Obito phased again, evading them all.
But you had already crossed the barrier.
You raised your right hand and clenched it into a fist. The three dragons twisted together, spiraling upward toward the sky—then plunged downward in a furious spin, like a falling meteor, slamming straight into the Hokage Tower at the heart of the village.
BOOM!!!
The three-colored dragon erupted in a massive firestorm, releasing overwhelming Fire Style energy. A mushroom cloud billowed up from Konoha's center.
The shockwave flung you into the air. From above, you spotted the scarlet Susanoo being shattered in the Uchiha district.
A smile crept across your face.
Then, just as Obito shot toward your heart, you activated the Reversed Summoning.
And vanished.
