Authors note: hey guys, I'm really sorry if the chapter seems Abit off, I'm really having a hard time editing and writing on a phone. This whole chapter took me two days to complete and I'm still not satisfied with it, I hope you understand.
Fugaku, Kakashi, and Tagama nodded. "Understood, Lady Hokage," they said before body flickering away.
Tsunade bit her thumb, drawing blood, and made a few hand signs. "Summoning Jutsu!" she called out, slamming her palm on the ground.
A large puff of smoke appeared and then dissipated, revealing a massive slug. "Lady Tsunade," it said.
"No time to catch up, Katsuyu," Tsunade quickly ordered. "I need you to divide up and help heal the injured civilians and Uchiha clan members."
"Understood," Katsuyu replied before splitting into thousands of little slugs, slithering away to help heal people.
Tsunade sat down cross-legged on the building just as Shikaku arrived with a large squad of ANBU and Hyuga clan members.
Tsunade ordered, "Four of you stand guard over me while I supply Katsuyu with my chakra. The rest of you, spread out and help." They all nodded and body flickered away, while four formed a protective circle around Tsunade as seal markings spread around her.
.....
In a dimly lit cave, a man with long black hair stood beside a rough wooden table. He carefully placed a scroll upon it. An orange mask with black markings concealed his face, and a katana was strapped to his side. He reached over to unfasten the katana, intending to lay it on the table. Just then, something emerged behind him from the ground, but he paid it no mind and continued with his task.
The masked man paused when he sensed a presence. Turning around, he saw a massive green plant rising from the ground. It opened up to reveal a human-like head. One side was black with a white eye, and the other was pale white with a yellow pupil.
The white side of the plant-like being spoke in a cheerful tone, "Obito, there's some interesting news from the Hidden Leaf Village."
Obito turned his full attention to the creature and asked, "Oh? And what might that be?"
With the same lighthearted tone, the white side said, "The Third Hokage is being overthrown as we speak."
Obito raised an eyebrow behind his mask. "Did the Uchiha clan finally launch their coup d'état? Is Fugaku now the Fifth Hokage?"
The black side of the being spoke in a serious voice, "That's just it. It wasn't the Uchiha clan. It was Lady Tsunade, and the Uchiha have given their support to her."
"That's interesting," Obito mused. "So the Uchiha clan has given up on their plans for a coup. Who would have thought they'd back Tsunade of all people to become Hokage? I didn't think she'd return after her history with the village, let alone take up the mantle of Hokage."
White Zetsu chimed in, "That would be Kaito Uzumaki's doing. He somehow convinced her to come back and become Hokage. Not only that, but there are rumors he managed to outpace the Raikage."
Black Zetsu added, "He's turning out to be as troublesome as his father."
Obito paused. "Kaito Uzumaki, huh? I wouldn't expect any less from Sensei's son."
The black half continued, "That's not all. Lady Tsunade also exposed all of the Third's wrongdoings. She's placed the former Third Hokage under house arrest, and the elder council has been disbanded and arrested for further questioning."
White Zetsu said excitedly, "And here's the best part: Danzo found out about it and has planned an attack on the Uchiha clan as a distraction so he can flee the village."
Black Zetsu agreed, "Yes, this would be a great opportunity for you to gather some Sharingan."
Obito nodded and strapped the katana back onto his side. "It's a shame about the Uchiha."
White Zetsu suddenly announced, "The attack has started!"
Obito's body began to warp and was sucked into his eye as he activated Kamui.

The moon hung high in the sky, casting a soft glow over the streets of the Uchiha clan's district. Obito stood on a rooftop, observing the chaos unfolding below. White Zetsu emerged beside him. "So it begins," he said, watching as the attack on the Uchiha clan commenced.
The space around Obito's eye hole warped, and his body vanished into it.
Inside the Uchiha Police Force headquarters, things were busy as usual. But unlike the norm of the past few years, there was an air of hope among them that things were going to change for the clan.
An Uchiha man was talking animatedly with another man as they walked out of the police station. He threw his arm around his friend and said, "Oh, come on, cheer up, Takuma! I didn't do it on purpose," he grinned.
Takuma shrugged off his friend's arm. "Get your hands off me, Kazuma! That's the third time this week, and you expect me to believe you?" He pushed him away, shouting, "You made me look bad in front of Izumi-chan!"
Kazuma laughed. "Ah, come on, man! I didn't do that on purpose!"
Just then, they heard an explosion. Both turned in the direction of the Uchiha clan's main district to see smoke rising into the sky.
Takuma's eyes widened. "What's happening? We have to alert the lieutenant!"
Suddenly, the space in front of them warped, and a portal formed in the air. A masked man materialized from it, holding a katana in his hand.
Kazuma pulled out a kunai. "State your name and intentions!" he demanded, holding the kunai defensively.
Takuma also drew a kunai and activated his Sharingan, preparing for a fight.
Before either of them could react, the masked man lunged forward. He slashed down on Kazuma, killing him instantly.
Takuma screamed, "Kazuma!" But before he could do anything, he too was cut down. Both their bodies fell to the ground.
Obito flicked the blood off his katana as he walked toward the entrance of the police station.
Entering the building, Obito began to cut down all the Uchiha police officers, one after another. Before they could react, they were all slaughtered without mercy.
An officer slammed against the window of the station, his body sliding down and staining the glass with blood. The lights flickered ominously.
After killing every police member, Obito flicked the blood off his katana once more and sheathed it.
White Zetsu emerged from the ground. The white half whistled as he looked around. "You did quite a number on them, huh?"
Obito said, "Start collecting the eyes," before walking out of the building.
As he stepped outside, two shuriken were thrown at him. They passed through him harmlessly and embedded themselves into the pillar beside him.
Obito slowly turned in the direction the shuriken had come from. He saw a girl with brown hair, wearing a purple sleeveless top and brown pants.
Seeing her shuriken pass through the masked man, Izumi was shocked. Knowing she couldn't fight someone that powerful, she turned to flee.
But a metal chain suddenly wrapped around her body, binding her arms to her sides and pulling her back.
She was yanked onto the ground as the masked man walked toward her, drawing his katana and lifting it to strike her down.
Izumi closed her eyes and prayed softly, "Itachi, please save me."
The masked man brought down the sword, only for it to pass through her as someone intervened. Itachi appeared, attacking the masked man with his tanto, but his blade went through the masked man's intangible form.
The masked man leaped back as Itachi stood protectively over Izumi, his Sharingan spinning wildly.
Izumi, realizing she wasn't hurt, looked up to see Itachi standing with his back to her. "Itachi!" she exclaimed.
"Are you okay, Izumi?" Itachi asked without turning his gaze away from the enemy.
Izumi nodded shakily. "Yes, thanks to you."
"Good. Now, get to safety and help the others," Itachi instructed firmly.
Izumi hesitated for a moment but then nodded. "Be careful, Itachi-kun." She turned and ran off to assist others.
"I will," he assured her.
As Izumi ran off into the night, the masked man tilted his head slightly. "How noble of you," he said in a cold, mocking tone.

Elsewhere, Kaito slashed at a Root operative, decapitating him. Behind him, another enemy lunged, driving a blade toward Kaito's back. The blade passed through him without resistance, and the Kaito they attacked flickered and disappeared—a shadow clone.
The real Kaito appeared above the attacker, holding a swirling ball of chakra in his hand. "Rasengan!" he shouted, slamming it into the operative's back. The ground cratered beneath them, and the enemy was defeated.
Kaito jumped back onto a rooftop, his face covered in sweat. He was slightly winded from taking down around a hundred Root operatives by himself.
He looked around and muttered, "This area is clear." He saw Uchiha genin and some regular chunin helping civilians to safety.
Looking toward where fighting still continued, Kaito stood up, ready to move again. Just then, he froze, his eyes widening. His face contorted into rage, and he disappeared, teleporting away.

Back in the Uchiha district, Itachi and the masked man were locked in fierce fight. No matter what Itachi tried, he couldn't land a hit. The masked man's ability to become intangible made it impossible.
After while itachi began to struggle as the masked man was about to strike him down, Itachi In his desperation, activated his mangekyou Sharingan Unconsciously, he unleashed black flames—Amaterasu—onto the masked man, catching him off guard.
Itachi clutched his bleeding eye after using Amaterasu. He watched as the masked man struggled against the relentless flames, staggering back into the alleyway and disappearing into the shadows.
After a moment, the sounds of struggle ceased. Panting heavily, Itachi held his right eye and sighed in relief.
But his respite was brief. He heard the masked man's voice behind him. "I underestimated you. My mistake. I'll fix that now, and your eyes will be a fine addition to my collection."
Itachi's eyes widened. Spinning around, he saw the masked man swinging his blade down, aiming to kill.
Just then, there was a crackling sound and a shout of "Lightning Blade!" Kakashi appeared behind the masked man, his hand enveloped in lightning. He thrust it toward the masked man's body.
But the masked man became intangible at the last second. Kakashi's lightning-covered hand passed through him harmlessly. The masked man jumped back, putting distance between them.
As Kakashi moved past where the masked man had been, their eyes met—Sharingan to Sharingan.
The masked man landed a few feet away. "Seems you're lucky today, Itachi Uchiha. Next time, you won't be so fortunate." His body began to be sucked into a portal that spiraled open from the eye hole of his mask.
Kakashi stood protectively in front of Itachi, thoughts racing. "I wasn't sure when Kaito mentioned it, but now, seeing him up close, I'm certain... it's Obito..." he thought.
Turning to Itachi, Kakashi asked, "Are you okay?"
Itachi nodded, gratitude in his eyes. "Yes. You arrived just in time, senpai."
Kakashi nodded. "Can you still fight?"
"I'll manage," Itachi replied, though he was clearly exhausted.
Kakashi surveyed their surroundings. "Alright, we still have work to do."
