" Bug brother Obito, it's time, let's go." Outside Obito's house, Itachi and Sasuke stood while waiting for Obito to come. Today, they will finally leave Konoha for the Demon Country for a plot of land and maybe the entire country?
It's been a month since Sarutobi Hiruzen's spine broke with the care of Itachi. The morning after that night, Konoha went into emergency, but even with all their efforts, Konoha still couldn't find the culprit. Because of serious injuries, Hiruzen had to be bedridden for three to five months. Because of this, Nara Shikaku became the interim Hokage.
And working with a smart man is indeed better than Hiruzen. During this month, the Uchiha didn't face any problem, whether it was the lack of rumours spreading throughout Konoha or the complete facilities and excellent care provided to the Uchiha clan.
For a moment, Itachi even thought that if Shikaku was the next Hokage, the Uchiha clan wouldn't have to relocate, but then he hardened his will. Staying in Konoha is like sharing a room with a toxic and controlling roommate, while building their own separate village is like buying a new house. Of course, he wouldn't make himself suffer.
" Sasuke, you brat, shut up. It's only 10 o'clock. Why are you shouting so early in the morning? Let me sleep for a while." Just then an irritated voice came from the house. Itachi, seeing this, sighed helplessly. Since Obito's brainwash, he has become more and more like Tobi or his childish self.
"Big brother Obito, you said you will arrive at our house for breakfast and then we will leave for the Demon Country. It's ten o'clock and you still haven't woken up. Do you have your breakfast at noon?"
1 minute later
"I will count till five. If you do not arrive within the time, I will take serious measures." Seeing Obito not even caring to respond, Sasuke threatened Obito.
"1....2....3...4...5... Uchiha Obito.... You will regret it.
Genjutsu: Sound Dissonance
The next moment, Sasuke took a deep breath and shouted towards Obito's house. Though no sound came out of Sasuke's mouth, Itachi, who had plugged his ears, knew how disgusting this jutsu is.
This sound-based genjutsu was found by Itachi in Danzo's memories. The function is simple. It simply produces the irritating sound of chalk rubbing against a blackboard a hundred times and is mainly used to break the opponent's concentration and is very useful in battles, but its drawback is that it's an AOE attack and simply by plugging your ears you could avoid this attack. Though, Obito is going to suffer.
"Ahhhhh, Sasuke, you bastard!!!!! You are going to suffer!!!!"
BOOMMMM!!!!!!
The next moment, a huge hand made entirely of chakra blasted from within the house and slapped towards Sasuke, who was already running towards Itachi.
"Big brother!!!! SAVE MEEEEE!!!!!"
Unfortunately, before Sasuke could reach Itachi, Obito's Susanoo hand picked Sasuke up and then, with immense force, threw Sasuke into the Death Forest a km ahead.
"Itachi, I am borrowing Sasuke for a while." Then, without waiting for Itachi's response, Obito also disappeared. Itachi, on the other hand, also followed Obito to see the clown show. Although he knew Obito wouldn't really harm Sasuke, but who knows when Obito is on his periods.

Death Forest Open Ground
"Ahhhhhh, you idiot Obitoooo!!!! If you have guts, fight me fair and square." Itachi arrived where the sound came from and saw Obito using two Susanoo hands to play catch-catch with Sasuke as the ball.
Seeing Sasuke enjoying so much, Itachi remembered his childhood. His father also used to throw him into the air and he would like that very much, telling him to throw higher. Now Sasuke was living his childhood dream.
"Idiot Itachiiii!!! SAVE ME!!!!" Just when Itachi was reminiscing about his glorious past, he heard Sasuke's uncute words. My foolish little brother, I can only let you suffer a bit.
"Hey Itachi, how about we play that game you told me before? What is it called???? Badminton???" Obito, seeing Itachi not paying attention, got bored of bullying Sasuke, so he suggested it to Itachi. Itachi, hearing this, also became interested.
Entertainment in the Ninja world wasn't as developed as in Itachi's previous life, especially in the fields Itachi was interested in. So in his free time, Itachi would think of bringing the games of his previous life and modifying the rules suitable for the Ninja world.
"Okay. Let's play a three-point match."
Water Style: Water Bubble Jutsu
Itachi, after forming nine seals, sprayed a colourful water bubble towards Sasuke. Sasuke watched in despair as he was enveloped in the water bubble.
"Yahahaha, Itachi, let's start."
Susanoo Style: Nine Heavens Racket
With a shout of excitement, Obito created a huge chakra racket and smashed the Sasuke ball towards Itachi.
Cement Style: Concrete Jungle
Cement Style: Million Ton Hammer
The next moment, numerous huge buildings emerged from the ground, blocking Sasuke. Although all the buildings were destroyed, the speed of the ball was reduced considerably. Then, without seeing Sasuke's resentment and despair, Itachi formed a huge hand from the ground holding a twenty-meter-tall cement hammer. Without giving much thought, Itachi smashed Sasuke towards the other side of the court.
Obito seeing Itachi easily blocking his attack without even using Susanoo knew he had to get serious.
Wood Style: Multiple Wood Clone Jutsu { I don't know if original Obito knew this but, you can assume that Obito got Danzo's inheritance with the help of Itachi and now knows Yamato level Wood Release }
After smashing Sasuke towards Itachi, Obito formed five wood clones, which then transformed into Sasuke enveloped in the bubble. Then Obito smashed them towards Itachi as well.
After that, Obito used his chakra to take control of Sasuke's bubble, and then within the next few moments, Sasuke was mixed within Obito's shadow clones.
Cement Style: Ten Thousand Hands
Itachi, having lost the real Sasuke, once again formed seals and dozens of huge hands emerged from the ground, hammering all the Sasukes towards Obito.

Five Minutes Later
"Uggghh Uggghhhhhhhh" (Sound of vomiting)
While Sasuke was vomiting, Obito was also depressed. Previously he was confused as to why Itachi did not use Susanoo, but now he knew. Susanoo can only form two hands normally, but Itachi can form hundreds of them, though of lower quality. Because two hands can't beat hundreds, he ultimately lost with 3–1 as the final score.
"Itachi, next time I will definitely win!!!" Obito said with conviction.
"Yes, yes
Sasuke, since you have emptied your stomach, let's have our breakfast in the Land of Fire. I know a good restaurant there." Itachi, seeing Sasuke completed cleaning his stomach, suggested with a smile.
"Yes, BIG BROTHER," Sasuke said with a smile, though Itachi could see flames of revenge burning in his eyes. Itachi, seeing this, became satisfied.
A good ninja is someone who doesn't let emotions get control of them. Not everyone is Naruto. Now Sasuke is able to control his anger and plan for future revenge; he, as his mentor, is definitely happy. It's not that he is taking revenge for Sasuke's words, no, how could a person be so petty.

Three Hours Later
Land of Fire — Capital
"Big brother, then how many countries are we going to travel this time?" Sasuke, after a hearty meal, completely forgot about his revenge and asked with curiosity.
"Hmm, first we will go to the Land of Rain, after meeting someone we will head to the Land of Grass to save someone. Then we will head to the Land of Hot Springs; there we will spend a week in a resort and then we will capture a madman as a good deed. After that we will head to the Land of Demons and the Land of Swamp, our final destination for this trip. We have to return to Konoha by the third week of July to celebrate your birthday, so we have around two months total time."
Sasuke, hearing that they were going to visit so many countries, became excited. Previously, Itachi had told Sasuke about various islands and wonders in the One Piece world and other worlds. Since then, Sasuke had been wanting to explore the Ninja world and find whether there were truly so many mysteries in this world.
Although Itachi didn't know whether the Ninja world had the same scenery as the One Piece world, if there wasn't, then he could just go to another world. As for how he could go to another world, it's simple. 'With a system in hand, I am invincible '. { I am thinking of adding Bleach or Tensura as extras in the future . }
"Hey Itachi, do you really want to cure Nagato's illness?" Obito, who was eating hot steamed food, asked with curiosity. Obito knew that completely treating Nagato's illness was too much even for him.
"I can definitely take care of physical illness; as for mental illness, that will take time. But, I will try my best."
Yes, the reason for meeting Nagato was first for an alliance or cooperation and second to treat Nagato's illness. And in this way, he could meet the richest woman in the Naruto verse, Angel Konan.
Itachi believes one thing: if Konan tries her best, there would be no Konoha after ten minutes. So of course he has to please that rich woman. As for dignity, in front of six hundred billion detonating talismans, with each talisman worth 1000 ryō, amounting to a total of six hundred trillion ryō, everything could be bought. With this much money, he could give Konoha hundreds of millions of S-rank missions, and even though he couldn't convert even 1% of the total value, he would still be the richest person in the Ninja world.
So, Itachi . feminist . Uchiha, wants to rely on Konan.

Author's Note
Hello everyone,
As you've read in this chapter, I've expanded the goals for the Demon Country Arc. Initially, after thinking about it for a few days, I felt that this arc didn't have much depth or plot on its own. So I decided to add more elements along the journey to make things more engaging.
You might have noticed this kind of approach in many novels — especially in those Chinese Xianxia novels where the protagonist travels from one place to another, encountering things like secret realms, competitions, or unexpected events along the way. I thought of using a similar structure here to enrich the story.
While planning, a few ideas came to mind. One was saving the young Karin Uzumaki. Another was exploring Hidan's recruitment into Akatsuki, which, if I remember correctly, happened after Itachi joined Akatsuki. I also considered including some interaction with Nagato or the Akatsuki as a whole. Even though Obito can be seen as the one behind Akatsuki, not everyone truly follows him, so there's room for political tension or possible cooperation.
This also led me to think that Itachi, as the head of the Uchiha clan, could have some level of alliance or understanding with Akatsuki. However, unlike my previous novel, I don't want to give Itachi a "savior complex." In this story, the focus of Itachi will remain on Uchiha clan and the Uchiha Nation as a whole, while the larger world can be shaped by forces like Akatsuki or Tengoku, depending on what fits best.
Also, I'm not planning to unify the entire Naruto world like I did in my previous novel or like many other fanfictions usually do. I don't really think the Naruto world can simply be unified and then everything becomes peaceful and good. As many characters in Naruto have said, there is too much hatred in the world, and conflict never truly disappears. Even in the Boruto era, wars and conflicts still happened. I don't remember the exact details, but I recall that the Hidden Earth Village once attacked a smaller country or something similar, which shows that conflict never truly ends.
So in the future, the Uchiha clan will mainly focus on occupying and developing the Land of Demons, and maybe the Land of Swamps as well. But they will not try to conquer the entire ninja world. Instead, it will be more like the Uchiha clan — or the Uchiha Nation — becoming a higher-level power or organization that stands above the traditional ninja villages in influence and power. You could think of it as something like a supreme faction that influences the world from above.
So this is the general direction I'm planning for the arc. If you have any suggestions or interesting ideas, feel free to share them — I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Thank you for reading!
