"Bah! He's not fit to be the clan leader!"

"Even choosing a dog as the clan leader would be better than him!"

“How can someone who raised such a beast be anything good?”

When Itachi was branded, the video on the screen was already playing the part where Itachi slaughtered his clan and Fugaku gave up resistance, allowing his clan to be slaughtered.

A series of vicious curses suddenly rang out in the training room.

Seeing Itachi's miserable state, the Uchiha clan members in the training room looked on with glee, still attacking and cursing him incessantly.

"Good, this kind of beast deserves to be treated this way!"

"Why didn't you just kill him?!"

"It's better to keep him alive. I'll slowly kill him, one cut at a time!"

...

The venomous voices rose and fell, echoing in Mikoto's ears. Mikoto knelt on the ground, utterly helpless, weeping silently.

She was very worried about Itachi and Sasuke, but she couldn't go out and didn't have the face to defend Itachi. Perhaps it would be better for Itachi to just die, but Sasuke was still young and couldn't be harmed.

Mikoto suddenly straightened up, knelt down gracefully, and then assumed the posture of Shigeza, repeatedly kowtowing and pleading, "Respected strongman, please at least spare Sasuke. He is innocent. If you must punish someone, punish me instead. It is my fault for not raising my child properly."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Uchiha clan members cast complex glances at Mikoto, a mixture of disdain, hatred, and glee.

Seeing the once dignified, beautiful, gentle, and charming clan chief's wife in this state, they felt both a sense of revenge and a feeling of unease.

But Sasuke is innocent, but aren't those clansmen who died tragically innocent too?

As the clan leader's family, they sold out the clan completely. The clan leader disregarded the lives of the clan members, and the eldest son even became the executioner who personally slaughtered the clan members for the safety of his younger son!

Not to mention those easily agitated clansmen, even Izumi, who was always mild-mannered and admired Itachi, harbored great resentment towards their family.

Mikoto felt a chill run down her spine from those venomous eyes.

She knelt even more upright and humbly, pressing her head firmly against the extremely hard ground to avoid the sight of her tribesmen, constantly murmuring and pleading, "Please, please..."

Within the Uchiha clan

Members of the surrounding major families exchanged horrified glances. Itachi, who had single-handedly slaughtered most of the family members, was being dragged around like a dead dog and subjected to wanton humiliation. This mysterious person was simply too powerful.

They had absolutely no intention of saving anyone. As members of the clan, they had no liking for Itachi, who turned against his own clan, and even secretly cheered while watching.

The others in the arena didn't seem inclined to offer any assistance. Firstly, this mysterious figure was too powerful, and secondly, Itachi's actions were considered inhumane by ninjas accustomed to bloodshed. Consequently, everyone's gaze towards Hiruzen Sarutobi became even more suspicious.

Nobody's stupid. With so many Root and Anbu members guarding the perimeter of the Uchiha clan and setting up a barrier, did it really not know that Itachi would massacre the clan?

Hyuga Kaze conjured a ball of water and poured it on the dazed Itachi's head, clicking his tongue as he said, "Looking at your miserable state, I don't even feel like bullying you anymore. Let's make a deal."

Itachi was completely disoriented and unresponsive. His mind was filled with thoughts of his beloved younger brother, and the pain on his forehead was nothing compared to the heartache he felt.

He couldn't stop this mysterious person from releasing those images. Now everyone knows that he colluded with the Konoha leadership to kill the Uchiha clan. Sasuke must have seen them already. Poor Sasuke, what will become of you...?

What kind of deal do you want to make?

Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed more anxious than Itachi, and seeing that Itachi didn't react, he quickly asked the question himself.

"A deal you absolutely cannot refuse," Hyuga Kaze said in a light and cheerful tone. "Shisui's other eye is in Itachi's hands. As long as he obediently hands it over to me and you don't continue to cause me trouble, I will let Sasuke go today and will not harm anyone here."

Upon hearing this, most of the ninjas breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Itachi with expectant eyes. Even if this person got Shisui's eyes and became even stronger in the future, at least he wouldn't be in so much danger right now.

"After fighting for so long, your chakra must be almost depleted. You think you can intimidate me and trick Shisui into opening his eyes? Impossible!"

Itachi harbored deep hatred for the person who had ruined his relationship with his younger brother and was completely unwilling to hand over Shisui's eyes.

Hyuga Kaze sensed the chakra within his body and realized it was indeed in a dangerous state; he only had about eighty chakra left. He needed to speed things up.

Old Silver Coin Obito and Danzo have disappeared without a trace. Besides, Konoha is not without skilled ninjas. Even if Might Guy is away, there are still many elite Jonin.

In terms of sheer numbers, Konoha could easily muster over ten thousand ninjas if they mobilized the entire village. While he wasn't afraid, there was no need for him to continue fighting to the death.

However, Itachi's attitude was a bit arrogant; he needs to be taught a lesson. He should teach his mother a lesson when he has time.

"You can try and see if my chakra is enough to kill everyone here, or if I should kill half of them first and then use the Flying Thunder God Technique to find Sasuke?"

Hyuga Kaze spoke terrifying words in the calmest tone, making the surrounding ninjas tense up and put pressure on Itachi with their eyes.

"Itachi, Konoha can't afford any more losses," Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a hoarse voice after struggling with the situation for a long time.

Itachi paused for a moment before finally speaking: "I can give you Shisui's eyes, but you must let Sasuke go, never hurt him again, and hand over the Uchiha clan members you took away!"
