Just when Itachi Uchiha was in deep thought, in the space behind him, a vortex-like distortion suddenly appeared. A mysterious man whose entire face was covered by a whirlpool mask and wore a black robe appeared behind Itachi Uchiha. Only a Mangekyo Sharingan was exposed in the opening of his mask. This person was Obito Uchiha, or rather, Obito Uchiha who claimed to be Madara Uchiha.
"Itachi, you who awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, have seen the text on the stone tablet, right? Then you should have understood all this by now!" In Obito Uchiha's exposed eye, there was a bit of fanaticism. Looking at Itachi Uchiha, he exclaimed excitedly, "The world we live in now is a completely disappointing world, a world that should be destroyed! Only by launching Infinite Tsukuyomi can we create a world without pain, war, only peace and happiness! Choose to join us! Let's open that new world together!"
Itachi Uchiha turned around. He stared blankly at the man who claimed to be "Madara Uchiha" in front of him. He took a deep breath, and then remembered the current Konoha, the current Uchiha, the agreement between him and Hiruzen Sarutobi, the agreement between him and Shisui Uchiha, and... Sasuke!
"I'll join." Itachi Uchiha's voice did not fluctuate, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"Wise choice!" After listening to Itachi Uchiha's answer, Obito Uchiha's voice also became more excited. One could sense that his face under the mask had become elated. "Itachi Uchiha, you really are a smart person! Everything we are doing now is for true peace, which is the responsibility of our Uchiha family!"
Itachi Uchiha did not speak, nor did he show any abnormality. He was just silent, listening quietly. Just after Obito Uchiha's rhetoric was finished, a pitcher plant emerged from the ground, exposing most of his body, half black and half white. A strange lifeform wearing a black-bottomed red auspicious cloud robe suddenly emerged from the ground. This figure was naturally Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.
"The Konoha side is ready," Black Zetsu respectfully reported to Obito Uchiha.
After listening to Zetsu's report, Itachi Uchiha's eyes couldn't help but flash a bit of emotional fluctuation. Everything has really reached an irreversible level. It seemed that he could only execute according to the previous plan. Shisui, I hope all these plans can be as you wish. I hope that guy named Ren is truly trustworthy...
"Hahahaha! I have convinced Itachi Uchiha here too! It seems that everything is going well!" Obito Uchiha laughed loudly, then turned to Itachi Uchiha and said, "Itachi, then some things tonight will proceed according to plan!"
"I see." Itachi Uchiha nodded. Then, Obito Uchiha no longer stayed there and directly opened the Kamui space and disappeared in front of Itachi. And Zetsu also dived directly into the ground and disappeared.
...Half a month later...
The Ninja Academy was back in session. Ren, TenTen, and Rock Lee all became second-year students. And Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and other Konoha 11 also entered the Ninja Academy very smoothly and became classmates. Of course, Naruto Uzumaki still did not extract chakra during the entrance examination. Because of the interference of Nine-Tails Chakra, even though Ren had given him the scroll for refining chakra, he still did not extract chakra so quickly. Of course, in the end, the judge still used the reason that he "has the talent to become a ninja" and let him enroll.
...Midnight...
A bright moon hung high in the sky. At this time, Ren was very bored at home, playing with the silver mask that was made before.
[Hidden Mask:]
[Rank: ☆☆☆]
[Attribute: Spatial attribute]
[Skills: Completely transform into someone else's appearance for 3 minutes.
Completely hide its own breath and remain invisible for 10 minutes.]
[Contract: No]
This was something that could hide its own presence. Although it could be hidden for a short time, it could only last for 10 minutes at most. However, the effect was very remarkable. Ren had already verified this in the village before. After he put on the Hidden Mask, even a Kage-level powerhouse like the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, would not be able to discover his existence or his aura. However, in order not to expose himself, Ren did not make any suspicious moves. He simply strolled around Hiruzen Sarutobi's office, flipped through the documents on his desk, and left. So, he knew it very easily. Tonight was the day when Itachi Uchiha exterminated the clan. The plot in the original story really happened as scheduled.
"Although the world has changed a bit because of my existence," Ren thought. "But some things seem destined to happen. The Uchiha family probably shouldn't be a part of Konoha in the first place, and those contradictions and conflicts that have accumulated since the Warring States Period cannot be changed because of the passage of time. I don't know if Shisui is still alive. If he is still alive, he will definitely do something now..."
And at this moment, suddenly there was a sound from the system issuing a task prompt in his mind:
[Task release: Collect Sharingan (1 or more)]
[Quest Reward: Forging Blueprint of Eye of Three Tomoe]
Eye of the Three Tomoe? The name was similar to that of the Sharingan. Is there any connection between this? Moreover, the tasks that the system needs to complete are also related to the Sharingan. Ren never thought of it before. In the forging drawings rewarded by the system, there were still such things? Could the effect of using the Eye of the Three Tomoe also be related to the ability of the Sharingan? Ren's heart suddenly became excited.
But when he thought of the conditions that this mission needed to achieve, he hesitated for a moment. The conditions for accomplishing this task were undoubtedly very harsh. Sharingan, what is that? That was something that Orochimaru, Danzo, and many others were staring at. Besides, tonight was the night of extermination. When the sun rose tomorrow, there would be fewer people in this world who had Sharingan than could be counted on one hand. With the exception of Sasuke Uchiha, who had not opened his eyes yet, everyone else was very powerful, and the probability of getting a Sharingan was as difficult as the sky.
It seems that his only chance to do it is tonight! Ren glanced at the Hidden Mask in his hand. In his heart, a bold idea suddenly emerged!
