Reborn in Naruto As Madara's Grandson

Outside Konoha,

A cloaked figure stares at the Sensing Barrier around Konoha.

'It's time to get back everything.'

The cloaked figure turns around and stares at a group of cloaked figures.

The group wear long, black cloaks with red clouds, a red interior and a chin-high collar. They wore various shades of nail polish on their finger and toe-nails.

There are a total of four members in the group. Each with a distinctive feature on their robe. All of them wear a wear conical straw hat with small ornamental torques and tassels hanging down their faces.

One member of Akatsuki walks towards the cloaked figure.

"We will help you with your chore but in return we want Nine-tails. That's the order from our leader. Then we will walk separate ways."

The Akatsuki member tilts his hat and stares at the cloaked figure.

"I will keep my end of the bargain, but first you need to fulfil your part." The cloaked figure speaks in a hoarse voice.

"Very well then, keep this in mind. We can easily track you down and obliterate you from existence if you failed on your end of the deal." The Akatsuki member warns the cloaked figure.

"Hmph… you are a band of mercenaries. I will keep my promise. There is no need to banter about it." The cloaked figure snorts.

"Good. Then let's move to our task."

The group walks towards the Konoha. The cloaked figure stops the Akatsuki members from entering the village.

"There is a 'Sensing Barrier' around the village. It will easily detect the presence of the intruder. But don't worry, I know the key formula, it will be a simple task to bypass the barrier."

The cloaked figure approaches the barrier and makes some hand signs. He slams his hand on the barrier. A fuinjutsu formula appears below his hand and covers a small part of the barrier.

A door-sized opening forms in the barrier. The cloaked figure enters inside the village together with the members of Akatsuki.

The cloaked figure points in the direction of the Uchiha clan.

"Our aim is to slaughter the members of the Uchiha clan. Don't destroy their eyes, the eyes are valuable." The cloaked figure reminds them.

"Now then, let the massacre begin." He laughs maniacally and dashes in a certain direction.

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

Itachi and Shisui infiltrate the residence of Eijiro Uchiha. They sneakily enter inside his room and wait for him to appear.

"Do you think this plan will work?" Itachi questions Shisui.

"It should. My Mangekyo Sharingan cast a very powerful genjutsu Kotoamatsukami, which allows me to manipulate the thoughts of a person without his awareness.

Big brother Izuna helped me train my Mangekyo Sharingan and I can even use the Susanoo, the most prized technique of our Uchiha clan."

Itachi nods to Shisui and mutters to himself,

'Sasuke, I won't allow anybody to ruin your childhood.'

Both of them hid inside the room and wait for the elder to appear.

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

Eijiro Uchiha leisurely enters inside the bathhouse of his mansion. He pours a cup of Sake and smells the fragrance of sake before gulping in in one go.

"My useless, idiotic son, I am doing it for his sake. That Fukashi, he snatched the position of clan head from me and got promoted as the Clan Head.

He smashed my dream to become the clan head into a pulp. I could only leave my ambition to my son. But this idiot wastrel, he wasted his life on alcohol and gambling. Fukashi used this opportunity to instate his son Fugaku as the new clan head."

Eijiro smashes the cup into a nearby stone. He fills up another cup and gulps it down.

Haha…

"I have to celebrate on this occasion.

That Fukashi, he would have never thought, his old illness would flare up and claim his life. How could I miss this golden opportunity?

I swayed the opinion of other clan elders in my favour with some profits. Now, Fugaku is a clan head only in name. The actual power lies in my hand.

But what I want the official position of clan head and gain control of the entire clan."

Eijiro laughs hysterically.

"No! soon it will be the entire village. I will become the new Hokage of the village."

Haha….

"If only my wastrel son was a little competent. Thankfully, my grandson is smart like me. He is a genin now and will soon become a genin."

A smile blooms on his face as the picture of a twelve-year-old kid appears in his mind.

"But that son of Fugaku, I never expected him to be this talented. To be able to join Anbu at the age of eleven, that kid is a genius among genius. Sigh…

There is also the matter of Izuna Uchiha, the most talented genius of the Uchiha clan."

Eijiro smirks.

"He is nothing but a dog of the Uchiha clan. He has no political backing or background. He only has a distant relation with Fugaku's family.

I will use him to fight against the village, and the other clans will dispose of him. This way, I will kill two birds with one stone.

The position of Hokage will soon be in my grasp."

Eijiro fantasizes his future days as Hokage.

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

At the Uchiha clan square, the members of Akatsuki discuss among themselves.

"Who shall we start with?"

A hunchbacked man questions his group members.

"Kakuzu, you are the leader of this mission. You shall decide on this matter." Another member comments.

"There is no money involved in this mission. I hate such kind of missions. But it is the order from our leader, so we have to fulfil it." Kakuzu removes his hat and the Akatsuki cloak.

He removes his cloak to reveal a rag-doll body. There are multiple stitches everywhere in his body. Hundreds of thick, grey-tendrils hold his body together. There are four masks sewed on his back.

"Let's start with the older fellows. They are more troublesome to deal with. The youngster these days are incompetent and can't hold a candle against the old fellows."

Kakuzu jumps towards the biggest house and vanishes.

"This old bastard Kakuzu. There is always money on his mind. He is even attacking the biggest house to rob the money." Sasori snorts at Kakuzu.

"Sasori, who do you will start with?" His partner licks his blade as he curiously looks at Sasori.

"I will also start with the old fellows. I don't want additional trouble during the mission." Sasori crawls towards another house.

"Hehe… I will start with young children. I like their cute little screams." The Akatsuki member licks his blade and rushes towards another house.

The remaining Akatsuki members shake his head and barge in a nearby house.

"This bunch of maniacs. Looks like I am the only sane person in this band."

Thus, the slaughter starts.

----------

Inside Eijiro's mansion,

Itachi and Shisui patiently wait for the elder to appear.

Kyaah…

They hear a scream from the bathhouse. Itachi and Shisui immediately dash in the scream's direction. They enter inside the bathhouse and notice the dead body of Eijiro and a servant girl.

Shisui and Itachi activate their Sharingan and inspect the body.

"Both of them are killed in a single blow."

Itachi approaches the dead body.

"Their hearts… their hearts and eyes are missing." He flips their body and inspects them.

"Someone has attacked and killed the clan elder. The killer hasn't gone far enough.

Itachi, go and investigate the mansion. I will chase after the killer. The killer is quite vicious, I will stop him."

Shisui follows the traces of the killer and dashes out of the bathhouse. Itachi lays the body of the dead and investigates the house.

He comes across a broken safe in one of the room. Itachi inspects the safe.

"All the money and valuables are gone. What is the motive of the killer? Was he after the money, then did the killer steal their eyes and hearts?"

Shisui follows the trail and enters inside another mansion. He notices a similar scene in this mansion, too.

The eyes and hearts of all the inhabitants of the house are ripped apart from their body and the safe of the house is looted.

"Damn! I am slower by a step. This killer is quite skilled. He must be an S-ranked shinobi. But this brutal way of killing, there is a record of such case in Anbu records."

Shisui continues to chase after the killer as he recalls the records of the Anbu. He enters another house to see a similar carnage.

"I remembered it now. This method of inhumane killing, it is Kakuzu of Hidden Waterfall Village. The rogue shinobi who fought and survived against the First Hokage."

Shisui recalls detailed information regarding Kakuzu.

"What is he doing here in the Hidden leaf? Slaughtering the Uchiha clan nonetheless. I must stop him."

Shisui jumps on top of a house and activates his Mangekyo Sharingan. He makes some hand signs,

'Lightning Style: Flicker Flash'

Shisui coats his legs in lightning chakra and dashes towards a house.
