After arriving home and grabbing a quick bite, Itachi proceeded to freshen up and retire for the night. However, despite his best efforts, his mind remained preoccupied with the image of the foreboding black vehicles and their mysterious occupants. Who were these men, and what could they have possibly done to the creatures? Itachi couldn't shake the nagging feeling that something sinister was afoot.

Initially, he feared that the creatures had been taken captive for experimentation. However, as he ruminated on the situation, he realized that it was more probable that they were being held as prisoners in a heavily guarded, remote location. It seemed unlikely that they would be housed at a local police station with such minimal security.

Determined to unravel the truth behind the events of the day, Itachi devised a plan to gather intelligence on these enigmatic individuals. However, he decided to wait until the following day to set his plan into motion. Exhausted from the day's tumultuous events, he eventually drifted off to sleep at precisely midnight.

(THE NEXT DAY)

Itachi rose before dawn, determined to achieve his goal for the day: gathering information on the individuals he had spotted the day before. He knew that his best chance to gather intel would be to lure Supergirl to the scene, as she had been the catalyst for the group's appearance during yesterday's events.

Itachi recognized Supergirl as a virtuous hero who would readily assist anyone in need, and thus he concocted a scheme that would necessitate her intervention. He aimed to lure her by enlisting the help of the group he had been monitoring, with the ultimate goal of following them to their hideout and obtaining the information he was seeking.To achieve his objective, Itachi devised a plan to create a faux attack on the city that would not actually harm anyone. He intended to cast a powerful genjutsu on the populace that would deceive them into believing that they were under siege from monsters similar to the previous day's incident. He anticipated that Supergirl would respond to the crisis and come to their aid, thereby offering him the opportunity to track her to the men in the dark uniforms base.Itachi's strategy entailed making the attack on a grand scale, as he harbored doubts that the group from the previous day would show up for a minor incident like a mugging or robbery. Thus, he orchestrated a large-scale assault that would demand Supergirl's attention and compel her to intervene, thereby paving the way for his plan to unfold.

In order to effectively sell the illusion of a monster attack, Itachi realized that he would need to incorporate explosions. Without any actual damage being done by the monsters, people would surely become suspicious of the situation. To execute this, he stopped at a nearby store and purchased ink and a brush, which he used to paint explosion tags that he placed on several buildings. The tags would cause a bit of damage and instill fear in the people, but not so much that any buildings would collapse and cause actual harm.

Over the next half hour, Itachi discreetly placed the tags on numerous buildings, scaling walls and rooftops with agility and precision. He also created a perimeter for the attack, ensuring that it would take place in a specific area.

Standing atop a tall building in the midst of the designated area, Itachi performed a series of hand signs, channeling his chakra and activating his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. He then unleashed his genjutsu, effectively ensnaring anyone within a 20km radius. To further sell the illusion, Itachi emanated an intense aura of killer intent.

As the genjutsu took effect, a massive nine-tailed fox materialized out of nowhere and began to rampage through the city. The people below screamed in terror, desperately hoping that Supergirl would arrive soon and save them from certain doom.

(At CatCo)

Kara, also known as Supergirl, was fully engaged in her responsibilities as the head of a massive corporation when her keen superhuman hearing detected a series of terrified screams emanating from the city. Suddenly, her attention was drawn to the television in her office, which was broadcasting a breaking news report about a colossal nine-tailed fox that was wreaking havoc on the city.
