Chapter 49: The Uchiha Clan of the Empire Erupts in Fury!

Chapter 49: The Uchiha Clan of the Empire Erupts in Fury!

"Although they still identify as members of Konoha, their loyalties also lie with the Empire... If a conflict arises between the two, they will likely hesitate."

"Moreover, according to what they said, the Shinmu Empire is too strong. Even if we were to gather the full might of the ninja world, we wouldn't stand a chance against them."

"For now, all we can do is focus on improving ourselves," Shikaku Nara said gravely. He paused before continuing, "I thought Tsunade-sama would test the might of the imperial trio, but I never expected..."

"I will definitely test the strength of those three, but not now..." Tsunade replied. "Akatsuki... The Shinmu Empire... One troublesome matter after another. I can no longer predict what the future holds for the ninja world. Shikaku, dispatch some ANBU agents to discreetly monitor the imperial trio. Remember, do not interfere with their actions; just report any relevant information promptly."

Shikaku Nara left with a heavy heart.

In an apartment somewhere in the village...

The imperial trio reported everything that had transpired since their arrival in Konoha to their supreme emperor, Senju Tianren.

Listening to their report, Senju Tianren nodded.

"As expected of the Hokage I know," he thought with a smirk. "Now things are about to get interesting."

He slowly raised his hand, and as his fingers curled, the fabric of space tore, compressed, and rippled, bringing a group of people to his side.

"Grand Uncle Hiashi! Father! Hiromu! Tokuma..." exclaimed Imperial Hizashi, recognizing the newcomers.

"Clan Head Fugaku! Sasuke! Itachi! Genma! Elder Setsuna..." Imperial Deidara added, his eyes widening in surprise.

"Your Majesty!" the group exclaimed as they bowed before Senju Tianren. Then, the Uchiha clan members glared at Imperial Deidara with bloodshot eyes, their fury causing him to shrink back, his face a mask of embarrassment and fear.

"It seems that the Hyuga and Uchiha clans in the ninja world have encountered significant problems," Senju Tianren said calmly. "Ningci and Deidara, please repeat the information you've gathered to everyone."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Imperial Deidara replied, and he proceeded to recount what he had said before.

As they listened, the Uchiha clan members were outraged! Among them, Uchiha Setsuna's usually sleek black hair stood on end as if animated by its own will, and he roared in denial, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The Uchiha clan, possessors of the Sharingan, along with the Senju clan, are the noblest of all! How could we have been wiped out?"

"Although the ninja world is different from the Empire, through our previous comparisons, we can see that most individuals with similar identities do not differ greatly in temperament," Clan Head Fugaku said, his voice tight with suppressed anger. "The Itachi we know is mature, level-headed, a genius of the clan, and someone we all trusted. He would never commit such atrocities..."

"No... That's not true," Imperial Deidara shook his head vehemently. "The Itachi Uchiha of the ninja world was undoubtedly involved in the Uchiha clan's annihilation. At most, his role might be reduced from that of a mastermind to a mere accomplice. I'm certain of this! My intelligence is infallible!"

Hearing Deidara's unwavering statement, the last shred of hope in the hearts of the Uchiha clan members was crushed.

Uchiha Setsuna let out a mournful howl, "Despicable! The ninja world is despicable! It must be their backward system, immature educational institutions, and twisted social values that gave rise to that world's Itachi Uchiha, that scum! How could a sane person commit genocide and murder their own parents?"

"Damn it! Damn it all! What about our Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan now? Will we never be able to unlock the complete Susanoo? Aaaaaah!"

Uchiha Sasori howled, his eyes flashing with a crimson light as a blood-red windmill spun within them.

Not a single member of the Uchiha clan didn't yearn to pilot a Gundam!

It was a symbol of power and beauty, the dream of all Uchiha!

"In the ninja world, the only surviving Uchiha are Itachi and Sasuke... The rest of us can only dream of awakening the Eternal Mangekyo," whispered Shisui, his expression complex.

"Big Brother Shisui, Father, and everyone else's Eternal Mangekyo... Are they truly gone?" Sasuke asked, his face darkening.

"The version of me from another world actually did something like this... Regardless of the reasons or justifications, and regardless of the role he played, I can never forgive him! That guy must die!" Itachi's expression was equally grim as his fists clenched tightly, his killing intent boiling.

"Yes! Kill that beast! We must end his life!" Uchiha Sasori roared.

"And don't forget those who acted with him! Everyone involved in this genocide must pay!"

"I will kill them!"

"These bastards! I'll make them regret ever being born!"

The Uchiha clan members shouted in rage.

"Obito... Can you do it? Can you kill Itachi from that world, as well as those who were involved?" Fugaku asked, his eyes fixed on the image of Obito from another timeline.

"I will do my very best!" Obito nodded seriously.

"No! Obito must not be the one to do it!

I want to kill those bastards and beasts with my own hands!"

Uchiha Sasori shouted, disagreeing with Fugaku.

"Father, Elder Sasori is right. If Obito kills them directly, it would be too easy on them!

I'd rather take care of the version of me from that world myself!"

Itachi added, his expression dark.

"That's right! We should do it ourselves!" The other Uchiha members voiced their agreement.

"Very well... Then we'll let them live a little longer.

But... Obito, after this, I still need you to investigate and find out exactly who was involved in the massacre."

Seeing that everyone was in agreement, Fugaku took a deep breath and nodded lightly.

"Don't worry, Clan Head. No one can resist my eyes. They will reveal everything!"

Empire Obito said confidently.

The Hyuga clan members, who were listening nearby, were terrified.

Seeing that the Uchiha clan had calmed down a little, Hyuga Hiashi spoke up:

"Neji... Has our Hyuga clan also been wiped out?"

Hiashi, Hizashi, Homura, and Tokuma were all tense.

"Uncle! The Hyuga clan wasn't exterminated, but... The Hyuga clan in the ninja world is disgusting! It's so revolting that it would have been better if they had been wiped out!" Neji said grimly.

Upon hearing this, the Hyuga members exchanged glances and heaved a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness! At least they weren't exterminated!

"Just what happened to the Hyuga clan in that world? Tell us," Hyuga Hiashi said.

Hearing this, Neji immediately shared all the information he had gathered about the Hyuga clan from the Naruto: Shippuden timeline.

After listening to Neji's report, Hiashi, Hizashi, Homura, and Tokuma fell silent.

The Uchiha members nearby wore strange expressions.
