My clan was exterminated when I was three years old, and you want me to beat Uchiha Itachi? Chapter 008

[Noon]

You and Granny Senna arrived at the Elder’s house.

To your shock, Granny Senna directly pushed open the Elder’s front door, and the surrounding guards didn’t even announce your arrival before you entered the courtyard.

Seeing you, the Elder smiled faintly at Granny Senna, motioning for you both to sit down and eat.

You introduced yourself to the Elder, intending to mention your precognitive dream, but the Elder stopped you, indicating that you could slowly explain after lunch.

It seemed Granny Senna’s status within the Uchiha clan was much higher than you had imagined!

[ 1 PM]

With Granny Senna’s additions, you recounted the events of your precognitive dream to the Elder. In essence, you strung together the events of your Sharingan awakening, dreaming of Itachi Uchiha massacring the clan, and Shisui Uchiha’s death.

After listening to your narration, the Elder frowned deeply, then let out a long sigh.

[ 2 PM]

The Elder brought out a pot of sake from the inner room and sat at the table, silently watching you both. He poured himself a cup after each one he finished, until he was completely drunk.

Granny Senna saw that you were a bit restless, so she told you to go outside and practice your swordsmanship for a while. As soon as you stepped out, a loud slap reached your ears. You didn’t dare to linger, fleeing to the open space outside the house and practicing your swordsmanship against the air.

[ 3 PM]

A guard ran out of the Elder’s house, then returned with two middle-aged men and one young man, and you were also called back inside by Granny Senna.

[ 4 PM]

You learned that the three Uchiha Jonin who were called were all the Elder’s sons, and you recounted your precognitive dream to them again.

For a moment, the three fell into a fierce dispute. Fortunately, the Elder suppressed them, patiently breaking down and clarifying the reasoning bit by bit, which prevented the impending farce.

[ 5 PM]

Granny Senna suggested to the Elder that your talent was exceptional, and that proper cultivation might preserve hope for the Uchiha clan. Seeing this, you proactively activated your Sharingan.

The Elder and his sons were also extremely shocked that you had awakened your Sharingan at the age of three.

But after the shock, the Elder still shook his head and explicitly told you to activate your Sharingan as little as possible before the age of five.

This was because there had been super geniuses in Uchiha history who awakened their eyes at three, but without exception, these geniuses, due to premature awakening, either suffered from a bloodline disease, or became deranged and bloodthirsty. Some lucky ones appeared normal, but their chakra reserves were shockingly low, and the rare few who were normal still died from targeted assassinations!

You agreed with the Elder, stating that you were already diligently practicing taijutsu to prevent future problems.

[ 6 PM]

Granny Senna left the Elder’s house and entrusted you to the Elder’s care.

The Elder led his three sons into the room and assigned them tasks separately.

You continued to practice your swordsmanship under the Elder’s guidance.

[ 7 PM]

The Night of the Massacre seemed not to have arrived.

You continued to practice your swordsmanship, while the Elder, munching on melon seeds, occasionally offered you pointers from the side.

[ 8 PM]

While practicing, you heard shouts of battle from the edge of the clan compound. Subsequently, the Elder’s three sons, followed closely by the Second Elder and Third Elder, arrived at the Elder’s house with a large contingent of Anbu from the Konoha Military Police Force.

Behind this group of Uchiha ninja, lay a pile of masked ninja corpses. Three of them had their masks removed and their tongues pulled out, all bearing the “Tongue Severing Curse Mark” of Root.

The furious Third Elder immediately proposed taking advantage of the situation to storm the Hokage Tower and assassinate Hiruzen Sarutobi, winning strong approval from the surrounding hawkish Uchiha!

But at this moment, a black-clad ninja clutching a severed arm suddenly appeared beside the Elder. The two exchanged glances for a moment, and the Elder sighed helplessly, instructing everyone to dispose of the Konoha Anbu corpses with Fire Release.

[ 9 PM]

Watching the people burning the corpses in the plaza, you suddenly felt an urge to join them, and your Sharingan activated. But remembering what the Elder had said earlier, you promptly suppressed your strange desire.

[ 10 PM]

After finishing your swordsmanship practice, you returned to the room the Elder had arranged for you to rest.

However, as you passed the courtyard, you saw the black-clad ninja talking with the Elder. The black-clad ninja called you over, and only then did you realize that he not only had a severed arm but his right eye was also a blind, grayish-white, clearly having just encountered an extremely powerful opponent. You didn’t know if it was Obito or Itachi.

However, since this person could survive against Obito and Itachi, his strength was clearly immense. Was there a Kage-level expert hidden within the Uchiha clan that you didn’t know about?

The person introduced himself as Uchiha Setsuna. You then remembered that in a previous simulation, when you and Granny Senna were desperate, you had sought refuge with this very person.

Uchiha Setsuna asked you a few questions about Uchiha Fugaku, and you revealed that you had vaguely seen that Uchiha Fugaku’s Sharingan was not a normal three-tomoe in a dream.

Uchiha Setsuna nodded, then raised his teacup and drained it in one gulp. He jumped onto the eaves and disappeared, while the Elder led you back to your bedroom to rest…

[Detected that the holder has successfully survived a death trap.]

[To conserve simulator energy, the simulation precision for this round has been changed to one day.]

Uchiha Kirin rubbed his eyes, then closed his activated Sharingan. According to what the Elder said in the simulation, his eye awakening, though seemingly a sign of genius, actually had significant side effects, even being a kind of illness!

Given this, Uchiha Kirin decided to minimize activating his Sharingan in reality from now on.

[Day 2]

You woke up as usual and continued your swordsmanship training, only to learn from the Elder that Uchiha Fugaku was severely injured.

And Uchiha Setsuna quietly appeared beside you just as the Elder spoke. This time, he had a thick bandage wrapped around his abdomen, but the seeping blood still stained the outermost layer of gauze. Even you could feel Uchiha Setsuna’s weakness, but his happiness was clearly written on his exceptionally aged face.

The Elder asked you to draw Uchiha Fugaku’s Sharingan from your precognitive dream on paper, and you complied.

Upon seeing the pattern you drew, Uchiha Setsuna laughed heartily, then reached into his sleeve and pulled out a box containing a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan identical to the ones you remembered Uchiha Fugaku possessing!

The two discussed for a while, then Uchiha Setsuna, in front of you, gouged out his blind eye and replaced it with Uchiha Fugaku’s eyes.

It was a truly gruesome scene, yet you found yourself without a hint of repulsion. Uchiha Setsuna and the Elder also noticed this point, and they both agreed that you were a natural-born ninja.

Uchiha Setsuna placed his blind eye into a small bottle and tossed it to you, saying it was a souvenir, then quickly departed.

It was afternoon. You put Uchiha Setsuna’s eyes into your ninja pouch and continued practicing your swordsmanship under the Elder’s guidance. At the same time, the Elder would occasionally throw shuriken at you, and you had to block and counter them using swordsmanship or shurikenjutsu. During the practice, you felt your combat ability rapidly improving.

Suddenly, a loud bang erupted from the side of the Hokage Rock. The massive tremor reached the Uchiha clan compound, making you feel as if it were an earthquake.

Suddenly, the Elder’s movements paused. Two lines of tears dripped from his eyes. After sealing your chakra, he hid you in a secret room filled with food and water, then quickly departed.

That night, shouts of battle shook the Uchiha clan compound.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, regardless of the negative impact, directly led the Anbu to storm the Uchiha clan compound!

Initially, only a portion of the Anbu and Root’s main forces participated, but later, the Uchiha clan, lacking Kage-level experts, was steadily pushed back by Hiruzen Sarutobi’s offensive even with the combined efforts of several elders.

With the Elder’s demise, the Uchiha clan’s decline was evident. Some smaller ninja clans, seeing the situation, also joined in to get a piece of the pie. In just one night, the Uchiha clan’s protective barrier was completely breached.

[Day 3]

Almost all Uchiha clan ninja were killed. At this point, Itachi Uchiha suddenly appeared. After injuring Hiruzen Sarutobi, he feigned defeat by Danzo and then defected.

Root and the Anbu withdrew from the Uchiha clan compound, but the surrounding small ninja clans were deliberately allowed into the Uchiha clan compound to burn, kill, and plunder.

Blood flowed into the secret room where you were.

Your eyes were tearing, but you found that you could no longer activate your Sharingan. It seemed the Elder’s words before his death were indeed true; awakening your eyes too early was not entirely beneficial.

You forced yourself to endure the nausea and eat the food and water in the secret room while submerged in blood. At the same time, you rummaged through the items in the secret room and finally found a box of explosive tags and a box of ninjutsu scrolls.

You opened your Sharingan and forcibly memorized the Great Fireball Jutsu.

You forcibly memorized Wind Release: Violent Wind Palm.

Your eye power was overused, and you fainted…

[Day 4]

As soon as you woke up, you heard people moving and carrying things outside. You held your breath, not daring to move.

But the door to the secret room was still pried open, and an Anbu ninja walked in.

You immediately attacked him. He dodged your shuriken. You opened your Sharingan, attempting to keep up with his speed, but found that seeing clearly ≠ keeping up. He slashed your throat with a sword and then kicked you against the wall.

Looking at the box full of explosive tags beside you, you quickly formed hand signs to release the Great Fireball, but due to your severe injuries, you failed to release it successfully, and the Great Fireball exploded inside your body.

However, the explosion ignited the explosive tags. Before you died, you took a Root ninja with you in your self-destruction!

You died…

[Simulation End]

[Calculating rewards…]

[System evaluated the strength of both parties.]

[In this simulation, the holder attempted to change the course of fate with foreknowledge, however, the Uchiha clan’s uprising failed, and ultimately, they could not escape the fate of death…]

[Overall result judged as “Best Effort!”]

Looking at the text before him, Uchiha Kirin took a deep breath to calm himself. He hadn’t expected that directly informing the Elder about the clan’s demise would lead to a much worse outcome than his previous simulation, which was caused by accidental misdirection.

Fortunately, this was just a simulation. There was still hope for everything.

Uchiha Kirin turned his attention to the recently settled rewards.

[Rewards settled!]

[Holder may choose two of the following three rewards:]

[ 1] Simulation count + 1

[ 2] Uchiha Swordsmanship Basics (includes insights and muscle memory)

[ 3] 500 Explosive Tags

“Five hundred explosive tags, those must be the ones from the Elder’s basement. What a pity this simulation was.”

Failing to achieve a “Life-or-Death” evaluation meant that the ninjutsu and Uchiha Setsuna’s eyeball obtained in the simulation were not carried over.

He had no choice but to select rewards 1 and 2.

Feeling the hot current of muscle modification surging through his body, and the constant flash of swordsmanship techniques in his mind, Uchiha Kirin suddenly thought:

“Where’s my spoils of war system? Is Uchiha Gangban dead or alive?!”
