Itachi Uchiha: Massacre Night

Soon, the Root Ninjas entered the underground hall where they saw a ninja standing beside 2 burned-up dead bodies.

That ninja was wearing his classical ANBU uniform and had blood-red eyes, which were a unique trait of the Uchiha Clan.

"Uchiha...Itachi?" They all muttered at the same time. They easily recognized him since he is a famous figure among Konoha's ninjas due to him being the youngest ANBU captain in history.

After that, they all looked at the dead bodies closely and realized that they belonged to their master and fellow Root ninjas.

"Kill him!!! He killed Lord Danzo!!! Don't let him leave in one piece," Someone among the ninjas shouted as they all attacked Itachi, which surprised him.

"Wait, I gave you all freedom. Shouldn't you thank me?" Itachi asked in confusion. He was sure that they would ask him questions and he would be able to convince them to join him, but he didn't expect them to straight up attack him without even hearing him out.

"You will pay for killing Lord Danzo" A ninja yelled as he attacked Itachi mindlessly. He didn't care about the fact that he didn't have Danzo's seal on him anymore. He just wanted to take revenge and kill Itachi just like the other root ninjas.

'Sigh, they are really mindless and emotionless. They are beyond saving,' Itachi thought as he dodged the upcoming attack and used his stealth to hide himself immediately.

"He has disappeared!" The ninja who was at the front yelled as they all immediately got alerted.

"He should be in his henge or using a jutsu to hide himself. Keep your guard up and surround this area. Give cover to sensory ninjas." One of them, who seemed to be a captain of some sort, started giving orders.

Unfortunately, despite being elite ninjas, they were still a little slower than Itachi, who started attacking them instantly because he didn't want to give them time to counterattack. He knew that he was short on time and massively outmatched so he started taking them out one by one by abusing his stealth.

"Arghhh" Root ninjas that were at the front started losing their balls and fell on their knees one by one. After falling, they would instantly get beheaded.

It all happened so fast that they couldn't see what was hitting them except the silhouette of a person who would immediately disappear after attacking them.

"Be Careful. He goes out of stealth whenever he attacks. Make shorter teams and give cover to each other and watch every angle." One of the ninjas who figured out how Itachi's stealth worked shouted and warned other ninjas who responded in time and started covering each other.

By now, The Root were down by 10 members, but they still had an advantage. They still had 69 ninjas on their side while the enemy was a single individual.

'The same strat won't work again. I need to distract them,' Itachi thought as he realized that they didn't have an opening for him to exploit since they were watching every angle in a four-man team, so he decided to distract them.

'Where is he? He hasn't shown himself since then. Did he run away? And what is this heat?' the root ninja who was leading everyone thought as he felt some heat.

"Look up!" Someone shouted, which made everyone look up, and they saw 5 giant fireball jutsu coming downwards from the ceiling.

Root ninjas weren't kids who needed instructions so they all instinctively tried their best to stop the fireball.

"Water Release: Wild Water Wave"

"Water Release: Gunshot"

"Wind Release: Violent Whirlwind"

Water Release experts immediately took action to extinguish the giant fireballs while some Wind Release users prevented the fireballs from hitting them.

After some seconds of struggle, they managed to disintegrate the fireball.

'How did our number go down so fast?' The leader Root Ninja thought as he realized that dozens of Root Ninjas were bleeding from their crotch, which made them unable to fight. This time, none of the ninjas were beheaded, they were just simply castrated by the barrage of Shurikens and Kunais.

"He is on the ceiling!!!" Root ninjas shouted as they saw Itachi running on the ceiling.

"Use your jutsus to attack him," someone said, but they were a bit late to counterattack.

"How about 5 more?" Itachi said as he raised his right hand and started throwing more great fireballs while running. Once he threw 5 of them, he disappeared yet again.

"Shit, just how much chakra this guy has?" A random root ninja cursed after seeing another 5 fireballs coming towards the ground.

"This should be a Genjutsu. There is no way he can cast this many fireballs so fast" Another random said. He thought that he was in some sort of Genjutsu because it wasn't possible for anyone to do this.

"Don't worry, he should be out of Chakra. Handle this, and then we can win," The guy who was acting as a leader said as he prepared everyone to face the fireballs again, but this time, he made sure that some people were there to deflect the kunais and Shurikens from hitting their allies.

"Water Release: Wild Water Wave"

"Water Release: Gunshot"

"Wind Release: Violent Whirlwind"

The 5 great fireballs were stopped yet again, but this time, even more people lost their balls since there weren't enough people to cover every angle.

*Cough*Cough*

'Shit, the oxygen level is going down. I should end it now and save my strength for later.' Itachi coughed. He wanted to retreat while sabotaging the remaining Root members, which would put them out of commission for some time, but he also wanted to farm more points so he could get better rewards.

'Let's do that,' Itachi thought as a genius idea came to his mind which would save his strength and defeat every Root ninja at the same time. If he was lucky, he would be able to farm even more points by doing so.
