A/N:- Sorry for missing yesterday. Destiny 2 released beyond light yesterday, I was hooked up with it. So, I couldn't post the chapter. Will post another chapter in few more hours.

----------------------- ​​

The cloaked figure approaches in front of Izuna's house. He looks towards the house.

"Izuna Uchiha, you made me suffer hellish pain, now I will return the favor.

All your family members and friends will become the sacrifice to soothe my eternal agony."

The cloaked figure walks towards the gates of the house. He takes a step inside the house, a dome shape barrier stops his march.

The cloaked man retreats and stares at the crimson barrier.

"A defensive barrier! You sure are cautious, Izuna Uchiha. Let me see how long will this barrier last. You won't be able to stop me from having my revenge. It's payback time."

The cloaked man clenches his fist and smashes it in the barrier. The barrier shakes violently but is able to hold against the attack.

The cloaked man flips his hand. A kunai appear in his hand, he coats the kunai in wind chakra and stabs it in the barrier. Some cracks appear in the barrier. The cloaked figure continues to stab at the same spot.

The crack widens, and the barrier weakens.

Haaah…

The cloaked figures give a final push, and the barrier disperses.

'It's time to return the agony.'

The cloaked figure enters the house.

-----------------

At Mount Myoboku,

Izuna is sitting on the top of a tall tree while staring at the moon.

'The air is a bit chilly tonight. The Blood Moon!

It signifies death and slaughter. It signifies the beginning of the end.'

Izuna takes support against a branch and stares at the stars.

"I have mastered the Artic Release during this time. My sibling will be born in almost a month. I will return early to take care of Aunt Fumiko.

I want a cute little sister. I was a single child in my previous life and my parents left me early.

Haah… Now I have a family and friends that cherish me. I won't allow any harm to befall on them."

Crack…

A bracelet on Izuna's wrist shatters into pieces. This startles Izuna. He immediately looks at the broken bracelet.

"This bracelet is the sealing formula of the barrier around my house. It shattered, which means the barrier is destroyed.

My parents are in danger. I have to return to the village immediately."

Izuna immediately teleports to his house.

----------------

Kakuzu continues to rob one house after another. He killed the members of the Uchiha clan effortlessly and stole their hearts and eyes.

"These Uchihas are quite rich. I have made a fortune. It was wise of me to accept this mission from the Leader. I can live leisurely for my entire life without worrying about money."

Kakuzu counts a stack of money and tosses them in a scroll in his hand and dashes towards another house.

Swoosh…

'Lightning Release: Cheimei-Teki Senbon'

A concentrated senbon of lightning chakra shoots towards Kakuzu.

"Ah!"

'Earth Release: Earth Spear'

Kakuzu immediately passes chakra through his body. His body turns darker and hardens.

Kakuzu jumps to avoid the Senbon, but it manages to pierce through his hardened body. The senbon pierces Kakazu's heart and strikes the ground.

It creates a deep crater in the ground and lightning flickers inside the crater.

"That's one life down."

Shisui appears a distance away from Kakuzu and warily looks at him.

'This guy is a monster with five lives. Big Brother Izuna warned me to not engage against this guy in close combat.'

"Haah… Aaah… Earth Grudge Fear"

Kakuzu bends down. The various animal masks on his back wreathe alive and their heartbeats furiously.

The four animal mask struggles and escapes from Kakuzu's body.

Many thread-like structures escape together with the mask and form strange creatures from them.

One of the masks took on the shape of a demonic tiger. Another mask takes the form of a deformed bipedal. The third mask shapes into a demonic beaked bipedal. The fourth mask takes the form of a strange four-legged body with thin wings.

The wound near Kakuzu's heart closes. The demonic beaked bipedal mask shatters and crumbles into the dust. The creature turns into a pool of black threads.

Kakuzu stands up and dusts his clothes. He stares at Shisui and remarks,

"Not bad, you killed me once. But will you be able to do it four more times?

I don't know how you got intel on me, but it doesn't matter. I will replace my lost heart with yours. You will be a fine collection to my heart. All your power and vitality will be mine."

Kakuzu takes out a kunai from his holster and dashes towards Shisui. Shisui draws his blade and engages in combat with Kakuzu.

He continues to monitor the remaining three animal masks with his Sharingan. The deformed bipedal mask appears behind him and opens its mouth.

"Lightning Release: False Darkness"

The animal mask emits the lightning chakra in the shape of a spear. Multiple lightning bolts join together and form many lightning spears.

The jutsu travels at an astonishing speed, making it hard to evade.

'Shadow Flicker'

Shisui's body turns blurry and disappears from the spot. The lightning pierces the blurry shadow and strikes a wall and shatters it into dust.

'Afterimage Clone'

Multiple copies of Shisui appear around Kakuzu. All of them attack Kakuzu at simultaneously. Kakuzu struggles against the various images of Shisui.

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage"

"Earth Release: Earth Spear"

The strange four-legged animal mask creature appears beside Kakuzu. The mask opens its mouth wide and releases a powerful gust of wind compressed into a tornado-like mass.

This jutsu covers a large area and the blast inflict extensive damage to the surroundings. Kakuzu hardens his body and comes out unscathed from the blast.

The multiple afterimages and clones of Shisui disperse. Shisui jumps back to avoid contact with the blast radius.

"Fire Style: Intelligent Hard Work"

The demonic tiger mask appears behind Shisui and opens its mouth wide. It fires a small fireball that erupts into a giant firestorm and covers a large area.

Shisui immediately makes a few hand signs and faces the firestorm.

"Water Release: Searing Torrent"

Shisui release a massive vortex of water. The vortex collides with the firestorm and both of them cancel each other out. The evaporation of water releases lots of mist and forms a mist barrier.

Bang…

Kakuzu's leg burrows out from the ground and kicks Shisui. It hurls Shisui back, and he rams into a nearby wall.

Inside the Clan Leader's Residence,

Fugaku opens his eyes and stands up from the bed. The commotion from the earlier fight has reached his ears. Mikoto opens her eyes and grabs the sleeve of Fugaku.

Fugaku strokes Mikoto's face and speaks,

"The clan is under attack. I have to face the intruder. Stay back and take care of Sasuke. Don't let him get hurt in the commotion."

Mikoto nods and warily replies,

"Take care."

Hum…

Fugaku nods his head and flickers out from the room. Mikoto stares at his departing back and murmurs to herself,

"Itachi, take care of yourself." She stands up and walks towards Sasuke's room.

Mikoto gently opens the door of Sasuke's room and enters inside. Sasuke is sleeping soundly on the bed.

"Big brother! Teach me a new jutsu."

Sasuke murmurs in his sleep.

Haha… huhu…

Mikoto chuckles softly and covers Sasuke in the blanket.

"This naughty boy, he always thinks about training." Mikoto lies beside Sasuke and gently caresses his face.

Awah… wah…

Sasuke turns in his sleep and hugs the blanket.

--------------

Fugaku appears outside his house. He jumps on the rooftop of a nearby house and climbs on top of a long pole. He activates his Sharingan and inspects the surroundings.

Soon…

He notices a hunchbacked man draped in a black cloak with a red cloud pattern on his robe. A giant metallic tail dangles behind the man.

The metallic tail is soaked in the blood, and the hunchbacked man crawls out of the house.

A frown appears on Fugaku's face.

Boom…

Fugaku hears a large explosion in another corner of the clan district.

'Looks like an intense fight is happening there. It seems that someone is engaged with another intruder.

Let me quickly finish this one and I will help the other person.'

Fugaku jumps down from the pole and flickers towards the hunchbacked man.

He quickly makes some hand signs,

'Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu'

Fugaku fires a giant fireball at the hunchbacked man.

Humph…

The hunchbacked man turns around and faces the fireball. He opens his mouth wide and a small pipe-like structure juts out from it.

The pipe fires a pressured stream of water and cancels the fireball.

"A puppet user."

Fugaku approaches the puppet and warily stares at the intruder.
