Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina-Chapter 43 - : Itachi Uchiha

Kushina placed the palm of her right hand on Mikoto's forehead.

In an instant, Mikoto closed her eyes.

This was the Memory-Sealing Jutsu, a powerful fūinjutsu designed to delve into the depths of one's soul.

Kushina asked softly, "Kurama, is this all right?"

"Yeah. Leave the rest to me," the fox rumbled in response.

This was the deep spiritual and subconscious world of Uchiha Mikoto.

When Mikoto opened her eyes, darkness stretched endlessly around her.

She found herself leaning against a small tree, a familiar but unsettling scene.

Looking around, she saw no trace of Kushina.

"Strange... Where did Kushina go? Is this some sort of genjutsu?"

Thinking this, Mikoto immediately activated her Sharingan.

Whether ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu—her Sharingan could see through them all.

Yet, even with her fully developed Three Tomoe Sharingan, she found no trace of an illusion.

She pinched her cheek. It hurt.

"Damn it, Kushina. Did you seriously ditch me here?"

Mikoto clearly remembered coming to her friend to learn more about the Mangekyō Sharingan.

The full moon shone brilliantly in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the surroundings.

Since Kushina wasn't here, she decided to return to the Uchiha compound.

But as soon as she arrived, something felt... wrong.

The entire compound was unnervingly silent. Not a single window glowed with candlelight, and the streets were deserted.

"That's strange... Did everyone go to sleep early tonight?"

A figure crouched atop a telephone pole caught Mikoto's eye.

Under the moonlight, his silhouette cast an enormous shadow over the clan's homes.

"Who is that?"

Mikoto squinted, her Sharingan whirling slightly.

Just as she was about to call out, the figure vanished in an instant.

She clicked her tongue.

"Tch. That's just weird. Were they trying to look cool or were they just taking a dump up there?"

Suddenly—

A bloodcurdling scream pierced through the silence from deep within the compound.

The air reeked of blood.

A cold dread crept up Mikoto's spine.

Without hesitation, she sprinted toward the sound.

When she arrived, her breath hitched in horror.

A man wielding a katana, his Sharingan glowing crimson, was ruthlessly cutting down their clansmen.

Each strike was precise—

A single slash, and the target crumpled lifelessly to the ground.

His movements were cold, methodical, efficient.

"Stop!"

Mikoto roared, immediately forming the hand seals for a Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu.

The roaring flames engulfed the killer, but when the fire dispersed, he remained untouched.

Instead, the nearby homes burned, flames licking hungrily at the wooden structures.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Mikoto was utterly confused.

This wasn't an illusion.

The stench of blood, the corpses, the anguished cries—

Everything was real.

"Itachi, why are you doing this?!"

An anguished voice rang out from a dying Uchiha.

Mikoto's eyes widened.

"Itachi...?"

The killer turned his head slightly, his expression unreadable.

Uchiha Itachi.

A shinobi prodigy, a name whispered with admiration and respect—

And now, uttered with fear and hatred.

"You bastard! Stop this!"

Mikoto lunged forward, kunai in hand, aiming straight for his chest.

But—

The blade passed right through him.

Her eyes widened in shock. She whirled around, attacking again.

Nothing.

Her fists struck empty air.

She threw kunai after kunai, set off explosive tags—

Nothing worked.

"Why?!"

Mikoto felt a cold wave of frustration and despair wash over her.

Itachi continued his slaughter, paying her no mind.

"You traitor! Didn't I tell you to stop?!"

More cries echoed through the night.

"Uchiha Itachi, have you truly become Konoha's lapdog?!"

"Why are you doing this to your own family?!"

A desperate elder shielded his trembling granddaughter.

"If you must kill, then take me instead! Spare the child!"

Without hesitation, a flurry of shuriken ended them both.

No remorse.

No mercy.

The Uchiha clan fell into despair.

Their once-beloved genius was now a demon wearing human skin.

Pregnant women. Elders. Children even babies who were just born.

[A/N : And thus Bob Uchiha Died ]

None were spared.

"Why... why is this happening? RUN!"

Mikoto screamed, but no one reacted.

The massacre continued, oblivious to her presence.

Then, Mikoto's gaze locked onto an all-too-familiar figure.

An old woman—the kind elder who had always treated her like family.

She collapsed in a pool of blood, her lifeless eyes still filled with kindness.

Something inside Mikoto snapped.

Her Sharingan burned as she grabbed a fallen katana and slashed wildly at Itachi.

Her strikes were relentless—

If this attack worked, there would be nothing left of him but shredded flesh.

But every swing passed right through his body.

Again. And again.

Desperation clawed at her chest.

"Why... Why won't it work?!"

Her breath came in ragged pants, her grip on the katana trembling.

This was a nightmare.

No matter what she did, she couldn't stop him.

And then—

She saw it.

Through the haze of blood and fire, her own home stood before her.

And in front of it—

She saw herself.

A mirror image, standing motionless under the pale moonlight.

Mikoto's blood ran cold.

She staggered back, her heart pounding wildly in her chest.

"What... what is this...?"

A twisted, overwhelming realization gripped her.

Was this real?

Or had she already died, trapped in a nightmare she could never wake from?
