Naruto: Dual-Pupil Uchiha

"Sorry, Izumi!"

With another apology from Itachi, there was no longer any trace of guilt on his face. The long sword in his hand fell with determination.

He couldn't let Uchiha Izumi wake up from the genjutsu. If she did, he feared he wouldn't be able to bring himself to strike.

This was the best opportunity.

He would let Izumi die in a peaceful dream, where she wouldn't feel any pain.

All he could say was sorry, Izumi.

As the sword fell, a tear appeared in his cold eyes, possibly as he said goodbye to his past.

Ding~~ 

At that moment, a shuriken shot straight toward Itachi's forehead. If Itachi didn't react, it might hit him right between the eyes!

Reacting quickly, he withdrew his sword and blocked the attack!

Then, he took a step back, his eyes searching for the direction the shuriken had come from. "Who!"

His gaze landed on Genya standing on the roof, with Uchiha Kazuya and Uchiha Fūrin behind him.

"How lively. I didn't expect to see Uchiha clan members killing each other!" Genya said in his raspy voice, but his tone was cold.

Itachi was truly a cold and ruthless person.

Having seen this, Genya decided not to hold back. If possible, he even wanted to kill Itachi here and now to prevent future threats.

After all, Itachi wasn't in his peak condition yet. When he obtained those two divine artifacts, he would be even more terrifying!

But by then, Genya would be stronger too, and wouldn't fear Itachi's presence anymore.

"Are you the assassin from outside Konoha?" Uchiha Itachi looked at Genya, his brows furrowing.

He had heard of the Konoha assassin's reputation from Shisui. This assassin could hold his own against Shisui, even though Shisui hadn't used the Mangekyo Sharingan at that time, just by using a shadow clone! 

That made him a tricky opponent.

While speaking, Uchiha Itachi's eyes locked onto Genya, trying to make eye contact! 

But the black flames rising from his mask's pupil blocked Itachi from seeing Genya's eyes.

However, when Itachi saw the black flames, he felt uneasy. 

These black flames seemed similar to his Amaterasu, but from Shisui's description, Amaterasu was a black flame that could burn everything to nothing. 

On the other hand, the black flames in front of him seemed to absorb chakra from the human body! 

Although both were black flames, their natures were different. 

Itachi even suspected that this assassin might be from the Uchiha clan and had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Otherwise, there was no explanation for the assassin's strange abilities.

"Heh... Looks like you've figured it out. I'll give you a chance to leave Konoha. I won't kill you!" Genya's cold words echoed again, offering Itachi a way out.

"Hey, Uchiha Itachi, whether you've joined Konoha or you are doing this for some other reason, leave now!" Uchiha Shin spoke up from behind.

He, too, felt the pressure from Itachi's power, especially when he saw Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan, which made him feel an overwhelming sense of danger.

Although Genya was strong and had awakened the Fourth Tomoe, he still feared Itachi could hurt him. Not to mention, there was someone else with a mask, watching them carefully, making Shin even more anxious.

Uchiha Furin, standing by, clenched his fists tightly. He hadn't seen Genya's full strength, but facing Itachi, he felt pressure. He, too, started to worry for Genya.

"Heh. Looks like the Merchant Association couldn't stay quiet for long and contacted a Konoha assassin right from the start!" Uchiha Itachi muttered under his breath, his gaze turning cold as it fell on Uchiha Shin and Uchiha Furin.

It seemed the Third Hokage's decision was right. None of the Uchiha clan members had good intentions!

"Who is this person? I felt a space fluctuation just now!" Masked Obito walked over and joined the conversation, clearly intrigued by the recent events in Konoha.

It seemed related to the short masked figure across from them.

"This person is strong. A while ago, he was hunting Konoha ninjas outside the village. I don't know why he's with Uchiha Shin and them," Uchiha Itachi explained to Obito. "Also, it's possible that Uchiha Kinya ordered the hunting of Konoha ninjas!"

Itachi Uchiha started to make a guess!

However, he was only half right. It was actually the son of Uchiha Kinya who carried out the plan.

"Oh? There's something interesting like this? This person is quite interesting too!" Obito, behind the mask, laughed, his eyes showing a bit more curiosity toward Genya.

If this person joins the Akatsuki, that wouldn't be bad! 

"He will affect our plan. We need to deal with him quickly!" Itachi Uchiha's gaze turned cold. He spun the long sword in his hand and was ready to act.

"Itachi, stop this killing! Don't make more bloodshed. Come back with me and apologize to the clan. They will forgive you!" At that moment, Uchiha Izumi suddenly woke up from the genjutsu, panting heavily, her voice full of pleading.

She knew she couldn't defeat Itachi, so she tried to use emotion to bring him back. 

"I'm sorry, but I can't turn back anymore!" Itachi Uchiha apologized again, and raised his sword to kill Uchiha Izumi.

"Uncle Shin, Furin, you two stay behind and guard here!" Genya said this and with a flash appeared in front of Itachi. With a kunai in his hand, he blocked the descending sword. "Itachi, you really are a ruthless person!"

Genya's eyes were cold. Just now, he had saved Uchiha Izumi, but Itachi tried to strike again.

When facing others, Itachi was indeed a heartless person.

"You are..." Uchiha Izumi looked at the figure in a black cloak who had saved her. There was curiosity in her eyes.

"A person you don't know!" Genya coldly replied. "You should leave for now and not interfere. Leave the rest to me!"

With that!

Genya slightly exerted force on the kunai in his hand, pushing Itachi back.

The expression under the mask was cold.

"Hehe... What an interesting guy!" Obito said, watching Genya with interest. Laughing, he shot a chain toward Genya.

Genya easily blocked the attack with his kunai.

However, he casually said, "You two are bullying me alone. Seems like I'm at a disadvantage!"

While speaking, Genya made hand seals.

A Shadow Clone appeared beside him. The clone smiled at him, saying, "Main body!"

"With a two-on-two fight, I won't be at a disadvantage!" Genya smiled, but his eyes were sizing up Itachi and the masked man, no, Obito, with a colder gaze.

These two traitors actually want to wipe out his own clan? Damn!

"You might be overconfident. You think a single shadow clone will be enough to defeat both of us? Interesting, very interesting!" Obito giggled, his eyes becoming more amused. "Haha... you might end up losing terribly!"

"Whether it's terrible or not, we'll find out once we try!"

Both Genya spoke at the same time, and black flames simultaneously leaped from their eyes.
