Naruto : My system is weird

In Amegakure, the area occupied by the Uchiha clan suddenly erupted with a massive flock of crows—so numerous they numbered in the tens of thousands.

The commotion was so intense that it drew the attention of shinobi stationed on the outskirts, even alarming the Kage-level figures overseeing the rear.

"What in the world is happening…?"

Ōnoki hovered at a low altitude, watching as trees in the distance collapsed one after another, a sudden unease gripping his heart.

That sinister Chakra from that direction…

He felt as though he had sensed it there before.

"Everyone, stay where you are!"

Frowning deeply, Ōnoki ordered his village's shinobi to hold their positions before forming hand seals mid-air.

BOOM—

Before the shinobi on the ground could react, shattered rocks rose and coalesced into a sixty-meter-tall stone giant. The Tsuchikage then rode atop the construct as it charged toward the heart of the battlefield.

"Hmph, that old fool."

From the opposite side of the battlefield, Rasa immediately recognized the stone giant as Ōnoki's doing. With a cold snort, he too formed seals, manipulating his Magnet Release to conjure an even taller sand construct, which then stomped heavily toward the fray.

Meanwhile, the Raikage, positioned at the Akatsuki Organization's periphery, looked up at the two colossal figures and swiftly halted his forces.

"The Kazekage and Tsuchikage are both making a move…?"

The Fourth Raikage found the situation deeply unsettling. He had initially assumed the wielder of the Sage of Six Paths' eyes had already been defeated, but now his earlier amusement turned to urgency.

"All units—advance on the Tsuchikage and Kazekage's positions!"

"Anyone who stands in our way—"

"Kill them!"

The shinobi of Kumogakure erupted with astonishing speed, surging toward the battlefield.

Back in Konoha's command center, Danzo was far more frantic than anyone else."Damn it! How did Uchiha Itachi cause such a huge commotion!"

Sensing the movement from other villages, Danzo suddenly felt that things had taken a wrong turn. Without hesitation, he immediately led his troops toward Itachi's direction.

Meanwhile, in the empty battlefield of the Uchiha clan's internal conflict, Uchiha Fugaku was shouting in grief to Kaito behind him.

"Kaito! Take that girl and get out of here now!"

"Today, I will stake my life to kill that traitorous son!!"

As Fugaku spoke, his expression turned nostalgic, flashes of countless happy memories from over the years passing before his eyes.

"Kaito, even though you always sneak into my private savings and annoy me from time to time... your father still loves you."

He began reminiscing about warm daily moments with his son, occasionally revealing some of Kaito's little secrets.

In the end, Fugaku expressed deep regret—if given another chance, he would have followed his son's earlier advice to fake his death and leave Konoha.

But now, it was too late.

Had he listened to his son sooner, the clan wouldn't have been wiped out, leaving only the three of them and that girl...

"Itachi! Do you think Susanoo is the Uchiha clan's strongest power!?"

"No! You're wrong! The truly powerful techniques are our clan's forbidden jutsu—Izanami and Izanagi!"

However, his words were met with a cold response from Uchiha Itachi.

"Father, give up... you've already lost this battle."

Then, Itachi turned his gaze to his foolish younger brother, feigning indifference as he spoke.

"Kaito, everything about you has been seen through these eyes. The so-called clan's strongest weapon..."

"Is nothing but futile under my gaze."

"It's all over... Spend the rest of your life drowning in hatred, my foolish little brother~"

As his words faded, Itachi's eyes locked onto the unconscious girl, and suddenly, he felt a sense of liberation.

He knew it was truly over.

"Totsuka Blade—"

Kaito: "..."

Hikari: "..."

Konan & Nagato: "..."

Hidden in the bushes, Uchiha Hikari watched the scene with an expression as if she had eaten something vile, her face twisted in unbearable discomfort.

She had been crouching there for a full ten minutes, her shoes practically digging grooves into the ground.

In her line of sight, Uchiha Itachi stood before a tree, repeatedly stabbing his fingers into the bark.

Nearby lay several trees he had already destroyed...

And if stabbing trees wasn't bad enough, he occasionally muttered some painfully cringeworthy lines.

Phrases like 'Hate me,' 'Loathe me,' 'My foolish little brother,' 'Revenge,' and the like made her want to flee the scene immediately.

Meanwhile, Kaito's father, the clan leader, clutched his chest, kneeling on one knee while spitting out saliva and rambling about life and death.

He even claimed that only the clan leader could master the Uchiha's two forbidden jutsu...

In short.

This relic from the Warring States era was now certain...

The madness in this world wasn't exclusive to Uchiha Kaito—the entire Uchiha clan was genuinely problematic.

After a long silence, Hikari finally turned and asked with a strange expression.

"Your brother... and your father—have they always been like this?"Kaito fell silent for two seconds upon hearing this, then slightly shifted his stance and kicked the crow beside him that carried Shisui's eye.

"Ask this guy, he knows more about it."

With a poof sound as the crow was kicked, Shisui appeared before the group, the same crow now perched on his shoulder.

Shisui gently stroked the startled crow and let out a deep sigh as his gaze landed on Itachi's figure.

Watching the whole scene had raised his blood pressure—every minute and second spent crouching here felt like pure torture.

Right now, he didn't even know what to say to evaluate his old friend's actions.

He just felt that Itachi had become somewhat unfamiliar after awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Hadn't he explicitly told him not to trust Danzo?!

Never trust Danzo!

What the hell was this guy even doing?

Receiving no response, Hikari continued voicing her opinions about the two abstract individuals before her.

"Trying to use Tsukuyomi in front of me."

"Pathetic."

Hikari took a deep breath, closed her eyes to avoid looking at the incomprehensible behavior of the father-son duo, and disdainfully shared her thoughts.

And then there were those Izanagi and Izanami techniques...

Weren't these jutsu something every Uchiha with the Sharingan was supposed to learn from the start?

How had they become forbidden techniques now?

"You're saying that?" Kaito spread his hands, looking somewhat indignant, then proudly pointed at the Faraday cage on his body and the sunflower on his shoulder.

The moment Uchiha Itachi suddenly appeared and called him "foolish little brother," Kaito had suspected the guy was trying to treat him like Sasuke.

After all, Uchiha Itachi had never called him that before.

Seizing the moment of Itachi's stunned hesitation, he quickly shot Hikari a look and rewarded his dear older brother with a Tsukuyomi.

But there was one silver lining...

The crow on Itachi's shoulder, which carried Shisui's Kotoamatsukami eye, had also cast a Genjutsu affecting all the Uchiha clansmen present.

"If it weren't for my strongman getup and Shisui's Genjutsu..."

"You'd have already fallen victim to Tsukuyomi and spiraled into darkness."

After saying this, Kaito covered one side of his face with a hand, peeking out with one Sharingan eye, and teasingly said to Hikari:

"Amaterasu."

Hikari: "..."

His bizarre antics not only made Uchiha Hikari flush with embarrassment, but she also lightly bumped him with her shoulder, nearly causing Kaito to lose his balance and fall flat on the ground.

"I should've just killed them all from the start!"

As she spoke, Hikari's voice grew quieter, until only she could hear it.

"If... if I hadn't promised you..."

Her gaze drifted toward the rows of unconscious Uchiha clansmen as she spoke.

A wave of lingering fear washed over her, followed by immense relief.

Honestly...

When she heard those people shouting about turning her into a weapon, even though they were under Genjutsu, she had felt nothing but pure hatred.

If Kaito hadn't immediately smashed the elders' heads to pieces without hesitation, she might have been haunted by that resentment for a long time.

Pain and Konan had remained silent the entire time. They had followed these two from the start, mainly out of concern that Uchiha Kaito might lead his clan to betray the Akatsuki Organization.

But in the end...

They ended up crouching in the bushes for a full ten minutes.

Watching as Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi—one father and son pair—acted out their melodramatic theatrics, one wailing like his life was over while the other kept poking a tree with his finger.It's... really hard to describe.

Nagato suddenly realized he'd wasted another precious ten minutes of his life following someone around.

"Uchiha Kaito, you'd better hurry up and relocate your clan members."

"Otherwise, when the others arrive... everything you've done will be meaningless."
