NIP Chapter 29 Revealed: Konoha's High Command Orders Itachi Uchiha to Massacre His Clan!
Chapter 29 Revealed: Konoha's High Command Orders Itachi Uchiha to Massacre His Clan!
"Third Generation! Is this for real?"
"The Third Hokage!!"
"Was the order to massacre the Uchiha clan given to Itachi by the Konoha higher-ups?!"
On the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War, the ninjas of Konoha also felt a sense of collapse of faith. Any ninja who was nearby rushed to the Third Hokage's side, wanting to find out the truth.
Minato Namikaze intended to help the Third Hokage out of his predicament, but maintaining the Four Red Yang Formation meant he could only create two shadow clones at most, leaving him no time to ensure that the entire Allied Shinobi Forces received the message he wanted to convey equally.
Obito Uchiha, standing atop the Ten-Tails, never expected that even these things would be exposed. "Things are finally starting to get a little more interesting."
"Don't let this interfere with our business," Ban reminded him from beside him.
But Obito ignored him, left the Ten-Tails, jumped to the newest mirror wall, and told Sasuke in all the worlds: "In your world, Itachi is not dead yet, but here Uchiha Itachi is already dead."
Samurai Bridge Timeline —
"That voice is!!"
The masked man's expression changed drastically!
Then he discovered the mirror hidden near the plaque of Shizhi Bridge!
Even though he was using Madara's voice the whole time, he couldn't have misheard! The voice that just came from the mirror...
—That was Obito Uchiha's original voice!
The Land of Waves 1.0 Timeline —
"Obito!!"
Kakashi from the Land of Waves looked at the man in the mirror and called out his name.
Zabuza, upon learning that the person was Obito Uchiha, the man who controlled the Mizukage, slashed down with his sword while looking in the mirror!
Unsurprisingly, neither the mirror nor Obito Uchiha inside it was harmed.
Obito, in his fourth World War, stood at the center of all the mirror walls, ignoring the voices of the Uchiha clan, Kakashi, and Konoha ninjas within each mirror wall.
"Listen up, Uchiha Sasuke."
Obito, in his fourth war, spoke to Sasuke Uchiha in each world.
"Your older brother, Uchiha Itachi—"
"Itachi wants you to believe that the Uchiha clan is a glorious family in Konoha!"
"Therefore, he asked the Hokage to make sure you never know the truth."
"And when he left the village, he had already planned his own fate as a double agent for me in the Akatsuki organization."
When Sasuke in all worlds naturally manifested his Sharingan due to the chakra generated by negative emotions in his brain, Obito Uchiha revealed a malicious smile.
"That's right! Itachi intended to die by your hand from the very beginning!!"
“!!!!!!”
"He paid the price by tarnishing his own reputation! He paid the price by hatred! He died happily for you! He entrusted the name of the Uchiha clan to this brother who knows nothing!"
In the Land of Waves, which exists in two different timelines, Sasuke Uchiha cannot believe what he is hearing.
"You mean...?"
They asked aloud, seeking confirmation from their future selves.
But even if it were the truth, Sasuke in the Fourth Shinobi World War would have already stopped listening to Obito's words!
The black flame blade of Susanoo slashed towards Obito Uchiha. Although Obito could not use Kamui, he did not know why he could use the ability of intangibility.
"Sasuke, you should understand now, right?" The flame blade pierced through Obito's body, and the unharmed Obito continued speaking to the Sasukes from other timelines: "Itachi Uchiha has been deceiving you all along, he..."
"—I love you all more than myself! Even more than my clan and Konoha!"
“!!!!!!”
This shocking news left everyone who heard it speechless.
"Is what he said... true?"
Sasuke from different timelines simultaneously recalls that full moon night...
The relentless slaughter, the horrifying face of the weasel.

These memories are fragmented like a mirror.
Instead, it was Itachi's smile, a memory of hunting with his brother, the comfort of being carried on his brother's back...
"You don't understand your brother at all..." Sasuke, in the Fourth Shinobi World War, attacked Obito Uchiha again, "Just shut up!!"
Even though he's not one to argue, Sasuke had to speak up when Itachi was involved.
"In that case, I'll speak..."
The eyes he opened were Mangekyou Sharingan with a unique pattern!
That was the eye technique that Itachi gave him with his death.
"Itachi did this not only for me, but also for all of you insignificant guys!!"
"When Itachi sacrificed his life, you knew nothing! You even laughed and slandered Itachi!! You enjoyed the peace Itachi brought! Yet you keep saying you only hate that the one who killed him wasn't one of you!!"
An insignificant guy...?
On the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War, and in other timelines on the other side of the mirror, people felt Sasuke's rage from the Fourth Shinobi World War...
It's not targeting any specific individuals...
Not just the higher-ups in Konoha...
The rage Sasuke suppressed during the Fourth Shinobi World War! The anger towards those who caused him so much pain! The people who killed Itachi!! The people who cursed and slandered Itachi!
Sasuke at this moment...
He hates everyone equally!! Even himself!!!
……
Fourth Shinobi World War timeline—
Naruto clenched his fist tightly. He felt Sasuke's pain, Sasuke's hatred, Sasuke's confusion...
While Obito and Sasuke were talking during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Sasuke at Samurai Bridge was fighting against Danzo Shimura.
The masked man had already said the same thing to Obito Uchiha once, so hearing it again would only fuel his anger.
Danzo was killed once, twice, three times...
Each time he is resurrected, a Sharingan on his arm closes.
In the first world that was connected, Fugaku Uchiha knew that it was the Uchiha's secret technique, Izanagi.
At the same time, looking at the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War, he also recognized that Sasuke's eyes were Mangekyou Sharingan.
In the mirror, he could see Sasuke and Danzo fighting on the opposite side of the mirror wall, and he could also see Sasuke in a fit of rage on the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Sasuke did not reveal what Itachi wanted to hide—the Uchiha clan's plan to launch a coup—but most people could already guess the general outline from some political connections.
But without a doubt, after truly learning the whole truth, Sasuke Uchiha during the Fourth Shinobi World War hated Konoha, hated the Uchiha clan, and even hated the entire world!
Danzo Shimura: "Sacrificing oneself, never seeing the light of day, working in the shadows—this has always been the nature of ninjas! Not just Itachi, but countless other ninjas were born and died because of this."
The Allied Shinobi Forces fell silent. This was the kind of world they had been born into. As they calmed down and reflected, the deaths of their comrades and loved ones were always a constant companion.
"But...but even so..." the younger generation of ninjas protested, "To order a teenager to slaughter their own clan is far too cruel!"
"Your generation has had too little exposure to war, which is why you're so naive."
Beside him were ninjas who had miraculously survived the Third Shinobi World War. The suffering of their generation was far greater than that of these young people who were always complaining!
"For the village and our clan, for the people we want to protect, whether it's a suicide attack or killing someone important to us as spies to gain the enemy's trust... this is how we ninjas live..."
"yes."
"We are ninjas, so this is our destiny."
Thinking of all this, many members of the Allied Shinobi Forces lost their previous morale. They relaxed and gave up resistance, looking at the corpses of their comrades scattered all over the ground, and bitterly smiled, "Maybe entering the genjutsu together wasn't so bad after all?"
"At least the people I miss can still appear before me."
"Although it's a cowardly act of escapism, I've had enough of the pain of being the only one who survived."
