Fantasy
To avoid Itachi using Amaterasu on her, Luna chose to hoist Sasuke onto her back to prevent the brother-obsessed idiot from launching a sneak attack. If he dared to use Amaterasu, she'd set his brother on fire too. She darted out incredibly fast, leaping out of the hole and hiding behind a rock amidst the burning gaze, setting Sasuke down and glancing down.
Although, as a thought entity that can materialize, she is naturally not afraid of any physical attacks and has no intention of taking any risks. There are not many remaining members of Root now. Apart from Danzo using Izanagi and the Uchiha brothers using Susanoo, the rest of them... less than one in ten are still alive. Danzo's only remaining confidants have all been killed today.
She mentally dismissed the threat, but didn't forget to keep an eye on the battle between the Third Hokage and Orochimaru. Anyway, if the Third Hokage wasn't dead or crippled, she'd have to finish him off. If Konoha didn't change its Hokage, the Uchiha clan was doomed.
Actually, she had previously thought that with Danzo gone and the Uchiha clan dispersed, there would be no need to expend the effort to kill the Third Hokage. Her contract with Koizumi was only to save the Uchiha clan, not to provide any aftercare. Moreover, someone needed to take the blame for the Hokage's death, and given Konoha's political climate, only Danzo could bear that responsibility.
Unexpectedly, the Third Hokage was so determined in his dealings with Danzo regarding the Uchiha clan, even going so far as to give him some military power. It's unbelievable!
But now things are different. The wicked and rebellious nemesis of three generations has arrived. His death god, his wicked wretch, can send him to his grave.
The seeds of the Uchiha clan's downfall were sown too early, given their unpopularity in Konoha. In the original story, the Uchiha were forced to rebel, but the Third Hokage couldn't tolerate it and reluctantly allowed Danzo to take action. Now, the Uchiha are making money and seeking advancement in other positions, which the Third Hokage also finds intolerable, and he even tacitly approves of Danzo taking action.
So, the Uchiha clan deserves to die no matter what!
Old Deng's need for Danzo has remained unchanged for decades.
Danzo, being tickled by crickets, panted heavily in the rubble below. He glared at Itachi Uchiha with hatred, thinking that Itachi must have taken Shisui's Sharingan, otherwise he wouldn't have been caught in a genjutsu and be so confused about what had happened.
He remembered that at the very last moment, he had ordered Itachi to kill the Uchiha. How could he have come to his senses when he activated Izanagi, killing all the trusted men who hadn't been taken by the Third Hokage?
Danzo launched another attack, his Wind Release: Vacuum Ball tearing through the air and hurtling towards Itachi. Itachi's figure moved like a ghost, easily dodging the attack while his hands flew across the screen.
The fireball, mixed with shuriken, shot out and was blown away and extinguished. He himself appeared behind Danzo, and Susanoo activated at that moment, piercing through Danzo's body.
However, a few seconds later, Danzo completely disappeared. Itachi squinted slightly; his vision was impaired, but he saw that the Sharingan on Danzo's hand had closed.
Izanagi?
That's how I survived just now...
"Just how many Uchiha eyes have you secretly stolen?" Itachi's defenses crumbled again. Could the Third Hokage really be trusted?
Danzo was aware of his malice towards the Uchiha clan. He told himself that as long as the Uchiha clan behaved themselves and changed, everything would be possible.
He was overjoyed by the changes in the Uchiha clan, but the outsiders Koizumi brought in were too greedy, and the Third Hokage could not tolerate an even more powerful Uchiha.
[If Danzo doesn't die, the Uchiha clan won't survive; if the Third Hokage doesn't retire, the Uchiha clan can't be reborn.]
No! Konoha will be in chaos!
The Uchiha clan will not have a good ending either.
Itachi's gaze was resolute as he transformed into a flock of crows under Danzo's attack. Black flames landed on Danzo, who thought of Shisui's eyes. If he couldn't kill her, he would have no choice but to use Kotoamatsukami.
Luna glanced at the crows, then looked at the blood on her palm, her dark eyes brightening. She wiped the blood with her thumb and quickly formed a hand seal to cast a summoning spell.
[Sharingan crow!]
Bang!
A crow with a kaleidoscope eye has appeared!
Luna smiled and grabbed the crow by the neck. She had just remembered that Kabuto had summoned Orochimaru with Orochimaru's blood, while Itachi, a privately kept crow, didn't need a summoning scroll contract.
"You have big ambitions." A voice came from beside him, and a gloved hand went straight for the crow's eyes.
Luna remained rooted to the spot, but smiled at the person who had suddenly appeared. Obito's heart skipped a beat; he sensed something was wrong. Then he saw the girl's eyes flash with ocular power: Illusion!
[They did indeed appear to target Shisui's eyes!]
Obito instinctively averted his gaze, using his intangibility to avoid the attack. He vaguely heard a crow's cry and immediately reached out to grab it, only to be engulfed in a sea of Rin (...).
"Obito!"
"Obito!"
A group of smiling Lins ran over, their eyes crinkling with gentle smiles. But strangely, these Lins were only the size of a fist, like big-headed dolls, and they were standing on silver grass.
grassland?
Obito had a bad feeling, and sure enough, the grass wasn't real grass; it was Kakashi's hair.
Several Kakashis, looking nonchalant, stared with their dead fish eyes, while countless Rin hopped around above their heads. Both of them were shouting: "Obito, Obito, Obito!"
"What the hell?! What is this?!" Obito's forehead twitched, and he immediately broke free of the genjutsu. Just as he was about to confront Luna, he fell into another genjutsu.
This time it was even more mysterious. Kakashi was dressed casually, but he had a huge belly sticking out. Tiny Rin stood on his belly, listening intently to the sounds inside, then looked up and said in a serious tone.
"Congratulations, it's a boy!"
"..."
Obito was completely dumbfounded. He had seen all sorts of terrifying genjutsu and horrific inner demons. But what were these things? They were obviously fake, giving him an endless urge to complain.
Can Kakashi have children?
Besides, Lin isn't that small!
Then, Obito saw the enormous Rin, a truly gigantic figure. Rin, a 50-meter-tall giant, moved with a thunderous thud, more terrifying than a hundred elephants.
"(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻Why can't the illusion be broken?!" Kenji was angry, extremely angry!
Luna's illusion is different from the regular Sharingan genjutsu. It doesn't exist in the instant of eye contact, like Tsukuyomi where one second equals three days. Her genjutsu is a range genjutsu; once you step into the area of your spiritual energy, you're affected, and the time within is also real time.
Such illusions, though seemingly fake at first glance, trigger curiosity and fantasies. They pose no danger, but rather are gently and subtly persuasive, even capable of amusing the person involved, thus prolonging the time. Obito, caught in this series of genjutsu, was itching to overturn the table, yet he didn't exert much effort when attacking those strange Kakashi and Rin-related items.
He himself didn't realize that he would sometimes hold and squeeze them to test their feel. Pillows, figurines, and the like are the dreams of a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) boy.
Those Naraku techniques that recall painful memories can indeed break a person's defenses, but they can also trigger their aggression. Luna didn't want to do that; angering Kenji, who was empowered by Madara Uchiha, was not a wise move (mainly because she was afraid of him retaliating against her family).
Below, the battle entered a death loop; Itachi's wounds grew larger and his vision became increasingly blurred. Danzo used Izanagi to revive repeatedly, launching a relentless barrage of attacks; he needed Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan.
Itachi's attacks were precise and deadly, and Danzo's Sharingan eyes closed one after another forever.
There are three left.
Two remain.
Danzo's breathing became increasingly rapid. Izanagi consumed a tremendous amount of chakra, while Itachi's endurance and composure far exceeded his expectations. Even more terrifying was that Itachi's mastery of genjutsu meant that even without using the Mangekyou Sharingan, he was constantly under immense mental pressure.
Pfft!
Blood splattered, and Danzo looked down in disbelief. This man, who had exhausted his chakra, could still pierce through him with Susanoo.
"Impossible, I want to become Hokage..." He gasped for breath, his vision beginning to blur.
Itachi's Susanoo collapsed, and he struggled to climb outwards. He was exhausted, the patterns on his eyes faded, and the whites of his eyes were stained with blood, making everything red.
He had multiple fatal wounds, his consciousness was hanging by a thread, and he was covered in dust and blood. His ANBU uniform was tattered. Finally, he climbed to a high place. He saw Luna and his brother there, and a surge of power welled up in his body. He squeezed out the last of his chakra, gripped his knife, and stabbed them directly.
Pfft!
The sound of his body being pierced calmed Itachi somewhat, but when he opened his eyes again, he found that the person in front of him was a man.
"Ban?" When did I fall under a genjutsu?
Luna, who used Obito as a substitute, smiled. She couldn't let Itachi live; this man wanted to kill her. She was about to launch a sneak attack but couldn't grip her sword; it seemed the original owner's residual consciousness was influencing her.
Obito didn't care about the minor injury, so he was glad to have broken free from the genjutsu. He punched Itachi in the chest, making him slam into a large rock and cough up blood. The rapidly disappearing life force meant that Itachi was about to die.
Obito took off his gloves, his two fingers forming claws as he attacked the pair of kaleidoscopes. He was determined to take at least one pair back; he couldn't have come all this way for nothing.
"Let go of Itachi-kun!"
The girl's voice was urgent and sweet, like a bel canto, with a powerful, penetrating quality. The dying Itachi looked over in confusion. Was this person putting on an act again? Sure enough, the next second came a large number of footsteps.
"Tsk!" Obito didn't want to confront Konoha for the time being, so he chose to retreat. He was still in sight when he saw a white-haired creature continuing to run towards him. He'd seen far too many white-haired creatures today—damn Kakashi!
Itachi glanced at the person holding his younger brother, and could only manage a wry smile: "Don't hurt Sasuke."
Luna's eyes were filled with tears, but the curve of her lips was so sarcastic: "I'm not like you, I won't harm innocent people."
Thump!
Having exhausted his chakra and lost too much blood, Itachi collapsed, his life slowly slipping away.
"Itachi-kun!" Luna cried out in anguish. Itachi was still only a Kage-level ninja, and he was worn down and killed by Danzo.
Hearing the shout, Fugaku quickened his pace in fright. Looking at Itachi, soaked in blood, he held his breath. If it weren't for Sasuke, with his whiskers and tail intact, he wouldn't have been able to hold on.
Luna felt no sympathy whatsoever for him. In the original story, he didn't struggle, letting Itachi use his entire clan to buy Sasuke's life; now only he has died—he's won too easily!
Luna had multiple wounds on her body, including burns from the explosion and knife wounds on her back, looking incredibly realistic. She didn't give Fugaku time to grieve, blurting out, "Clan leader, it's Danzo! He has so many Sharingan eyes! He and Orochimaru are going to kill the Third Hokage! Quickly, protect the Hokage!"
The ninjas who followed were deeply moved by the girl's reckless disregard for her own safety as she jotted down information. The group in the recessed area below was quite conspicuous; they usually used a cane and bandages, but they never expected such modifications to that hand—Wood Release and Sharingan—their ambitions were far greater!
Everyone suddenly remembered that Danzo's various suppressions of the Uchiha clan were actually for this purpose!
"Watch out!" a Hyuga suddenly shouted. Before anyone could react, the ground began to shake. A large, brownish-gray spicy strip opened its massive mouth and bit into the rock where Luna and Sasuke were.
Luna reacted swiftly, kicking Sasuke aside and plunging into darkness. She inwardly sighed at Orochimaru's cunning; he had been secretly monitoring Danzo and had seen right through her schemes.
[Alright, let's see if we can leave Konoha now?]
