Chapter 291: 284: Uchiha Night (2)
As dusk settled over the forest, a man donning an orange mask confronted Itachi, his laughter cutting through the air.
"See.. this is fate bringing us together, Itachi. Regardless of the outcome, you will stand by my side,"
Itachi raised his gaze to the self-proclaimed 'Madara.' While suspecting the man's true identity, the oppressive aura of superiority was unmistakable. The man wielded overwhelming power, particularly his Mangekyou Sharingan's power which seemed related to space-time.
"Did you anticipate this situation?" Itachi asked.
"After the Uchiha lost me, isn't it inevitable they would fall into such a state? Even Tobirama feared my power. Though I left, wariness towards the Uchiha clan persisted. His disciples who inherited his legacy would naturally aim to destroy the Uchiha," Madara stated calmly.
Itachi detected hatred in Madara's tone. Not just resentment toward the Second Hokage Tobirama but also directed at the Uchiha Clan for following the Senju Clan's will.
Itachi knew this man's purpose aligned with his own. Sneaking into Konoha was a risky gambit to find an opportunity to strike against the Uchiha.
"Very well. I'll act on the night of June 19th, but I request you promise me one condition.".Itachi declared with a flat tone carrying veiled threats.
"Conditions? Let's hear it"
