My clan was exterminated when I was three years old, and you want me to beat Uchiha Itachi? Chapter 029

Looking at the three fallen figures, you, who had killed for the first time, felt no disgust. Instead, you became even more excited. Your eyes involuntarily opened, and a faint warmth flowed within them. However, it only flowed for a short while before calming down, showing no signs of further awakening to the Three-Tomoe Sharingan. The entire process was very brief.

Though excited, you didn’t lose your mind. After the Sharingan’s changes stabilized, you quickly returned to the other side of the river to meet with the arriving Anbu ninjas.

With the help of Boss Kuro Neko and the ninja cat whose Mangekyo residual eye power you had previously removed, you began to recount the information you knew.

[ 5:00 PM]

Due to the corroboration from the ninja cat clan, the situation you described was quickly verified by the Uchiha elder council. While the Anbu blocked the Root ninjas, the Uchiha clan dispatched negotiators to the Hokage Building, temporarily easing the tension.

In the midst of the crisis, no one noticed that your body, after the Transformation Jutsu was dispelled, was nearly half a meter taller than before. After all, your activated Sharingan was far more attention-grabbing. Without a doubt, another young genius had emerged from the Uchiha clan!

You and Boss Kuro Neko were brought before the Great Elder. Together, you supplemented each other’s accounts, revealing the truth about traveling through time to save the Uchiha clan. You directly pointed the finger of blame at the clan head’s family, especially Uchiha Itachi, with the numerous wild cats and the residual eye power remaining in some ninja cats serving as evidence.

[ 6:00 PM]

The Great Elder didn’t believe in the ability to travel through time, but he still followed most of your suggestions otherwise.

You understood that while the help of the ninja cat clan and the residual eye power as material evidence played a part, more importantly, it was the talent and strength you displayed!

The Uchiha clan revered the strong above all else; the words of the weak were never taken to heart.

Beyond that, they trusted the judgment of geniuses!

And you, at the age of three, had awakened the Sharingan, gained the recognition of the proud ninja cat clan’s Mind Contract, and had a record of single-handedly killing three Root members. Although it was a sneak attack, it was certainly an exploit worthy of being written into the Uchiha family annals.

Therefore, at this moment, your right to speak was deliberately amplified by the Great Elder. All matters within the clan yielded to genius; this was tradition, and also a tenet by which the Uchiha survived!

[ 7:00 PM]

Because the barrier surrounding the Uchiha was broken prematurely, the Night of the Massacre did not arrive as scheduled.

The Anbu patrolled the clan grounds fully armed. The entire clan, both ninjas and civilians, had their populations tallied. The high-ranking elders, heads of various branch families, and retired elder ninjas led promising young ninjas into the ancestral shrine.

Compared to the Uchiha clan’s protective great barrier, the ancestral shrine’s barrier had been reinforced by generations of powerful individuals. Some parts were even established during the time of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. Coupled with the massive amount of Sharingan stored within, it absolutely had the power to contend with Kage-level opponents!

If it were purely a defensive battle, the Uchiha were confident in turning this place into a graveyard, exhausting all of Konoha’s elites, and even using Izanagi to perish alongside Konoha’s core members, with the Hokage, Danzo, and even the traitorous clan members!

[ 8:00 PM]

After verifying the population, only Uchiha Fugaku’s family (Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi) were absent; all other clan members were surprisingly within the clan grounds. This was extremely unusual for ninjas who frequently undertook missions outside!

It must be that Konoha’s higher-ups subtly manipulated mission timings to gradually adjust the Uchiha ninjas’ mission schedules, thereby creating a clever scenario where everyone was present. As for their purpose, it was to capture them all in one fell swoop!

And this operation had not leaked a single bit of information before its completion, indicating that there must be an internal informant within the clan!

Why would the clan head rebel?

Listening to Uchiha Fugaku’s “This is all for the sake of preserving hope for the Uchiha clan” nonsense, you directly rushed out and slapped him twice.

Amidst the curses of the clan members, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto had their chakra sealed and were confined deep within the ancestral shrine, guarded by the Third and Fourth Elders.

[ 9:00 PM]

You found the Great Elder and directly stated your demands: you needed to quickly learn how to use the Sharingan, learn its basic genjutsu, and even learn its forbidden jutsu!

In extraordinary times, and you being the genius who saved the Uchiha from the crisis of extermination, the Great Elder had no reason to refuse you, both rationally and emotionally. He simply introduced you to the basic abilities of the Sharingan and asked for your understanding of it.

You also spoke of your use of the Sharingan to control mice, earning the Great Elder’s praise. He immediately demonstrated the Uchiha’s most boasted genjutsu abilities on several captured Root members.

Seeing the Great Elder directly cast genjutsu on living people for mental torture, you initially thought you might feel some discomfort. But just like when you killed the three Root members earlier, you felt no discomfort at all. Instead, you were eager to try it yourself.

So, after the Great Elder tormented one of them to mental exhaustion, he handed him over to you. You then used the most basic Hypnotic Eye to invade his mind. You quickly discovered that with the Sharingan’s boost, you could not only hypnotize opponents but also possessed extremely powerful spiritual energy.

Recalling your previous experience of removing Mangekyo eye power from ninja cats, you attempted to transform your spiritual energy into a sharp blade and pierce it into the opponent’s core consciousness.

The Root member immediately screamed, spat blood, and lost his life. You, too, collapsed into a chair from excessive mental exhaustion.

[ 10:00 PM]

You named this self-created attack method “Soul Sever.”

The Great Elder praised your self-created “Soul Sever” profusely. The Uchiha clan had used genjutsu for many years, primarily influencing the opponent’s actions through eye power to determine the outcome of a battle.

However, you, on the other hand, used eye power to enhance your spirit and projected your spirit into the opponent’s consciousness through genjutsu, launching an attack directly on the spiritual plane.

This method of attack was closer to the Yamanaka clan than the Uchiha, but it was even more formidable!

Compared to genjutsu, “Soul Sever” had greater destructive power, but its casting speed was too slow, and insufficient spiritual power could lead to self-harm. The Great Elder pointed out the pros and cons of the jutsu for you and encouraged you to continue researching in this direction on your own.

At the same time, to enrich your knowledge, train your Sharingan, not bury this talent, and also to leave a seed for the Uchiha in their time of crisis, the Great Elder and several respected clan elders would conduct rapid teaching in a genjutsu space.

[ 11:00 PM]

Led by the Great Elder, you met several legendary clan elders. Although their bodies were not as good as before due to age, just sitting in their chairs, the elders exuded an invisible pressure that you felt. This was the power brought by spiritual energy and eye power!

The several individuals jointly cast genjutsu. You only felt a flash of red before your eyes, then you were pulled into a spiritual world by an incredibly powerful force.
