My clan was exterminated when I was three years old, and you want me to beat Uchiha Itachi? Chapter 030

You curiously observed the dark-red space, finding it remarkably similar to the Tsukuyomi dimension.

As you were lost in thought, the Great Elder and several clan elders also entered the space. They began to explain:

“This place is actually within a genjutsu, named ‘Genjutsu: Time-Space’! It’s an S-rank difficulty jutsu or higher!

Furthermore, one must first master ‘Genjutsu: Time’ and ‘Genjutsu: Space,’ both S-rank ninjutsu. It also requires at least two ninja proficient in these arts to cast.”

You learned that this ninjutsu originated from an ancestor during the Warring States period who had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. They had simplified and split their kekkei genkai to create a version that even three-tomoe clan members could learn.

In other words, this genjutsu was essentially a weakened version of Tsukuyomi.

Within this genjutsu, time could be accelerated up to ten times or slowed down to one-tenth of the real world’s speed. Space could also be distorted to a certain extent!

The clan elders planned to use the genjutsu’s accelerated time to impart the Uchiha clan’s genjutsu techniques to you in a very short period.

[Midnight]

With the help of the clan elders, you started from scratch, steadily building a solid foundation in genjutsu.

Due to the time flow in the genjutsu space being five times faster than the outside world, and your memory and learning abilities having already surpassed normal human levels after awakening the Sharingan, it didn’t take long for you to memorize the genjutsu theories with the Sharingan’s assistance.

Next was the practical genjutsu training. The first genjutsu you were to face was “Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique.” Although this genjutsu had a low learning difficulty, it was the first lesson for all genjutsu ninja. After all, only by overcoming inner fear could one become a strong presence in the spiritual world!

As “Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique” was cast, you consciously relaxed your guard and faced your fear directly. A boundless darkness swiftly enveloped you.

Before long, you found the light again. It was a blood-red moon hanging high in the sky. This was the scene of the Uchiha Clan Downfall Night. Looking at Itachi Uchiha standing before you, you felt a slight helplessness. You had already experienced this scenario firsthand countless times since acquiring the simulator.

However, since the goal was to overcome fear, you adopted a serious attitude. You activated your two-tomoe Sharingan and used all your might to try and pull the Itachi Uchiha in front of you into a genjutsu, but it had no effect.

Seeing the illusory Itachi Uchiha about to attack you, though you knew it was an illusion, you treated it as real combat. You used your newly created ninjutsu, “Soul Sever,” transforming your spiritual energy into a blade and shooting it towards the opponent with your dōjutsu.

The illusion twisted and was easily broken by your attack.

Your performance greatly satisfied the clan elders.

[Detected: Holder successfully passed through a death trap.]

[To conserve simulator energy, this simulation’s precision has been changed to one day.]

In reality, Uchiha Qilin couldn’t help but sigh, observing the vastly different performance in the simulation. In the world of ninja, strength was the most fundamental thing.

It seemed that in future simulations, he would have to act braver to gain more useful ninjutsu and items, and even improve his physical attributes.

[Day 2]

Under the acceleration of the genjutsu space, you continuously sought guidance from the clan elders, practicing genjutsu.

You started with “Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique,” which had the lowest learning difficulty.

From easy to difficult, you successively mastered “Fox-Possession Technique,” used to drain the enemy’s stamina.

Then there was “Genjutsu: Sharingan,” which was equivalent to a hypnotism eye plus version. This jutsu’s advantage lay in that any awakened clan member could learn it, while its potential was also extremely impressive. If the three-tomoe Sharingan was developed to its peak, even Tailed Beasts could be controlled!

Of course, this excluded Tailed Beasts of the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails level. Even at its peak, the three-tomoe’s dōjutsu wasn’t enough to control the strongest Tailed Beasts, unless a large number of Uchiha Jonin cooperated without a jinchuriki!

Additionally, within this genjutsu space, which mimicked Tsukuyomi, you independently comprehended “Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique.” This was a ninjutsu that could instantly bind an enemy’s mind and allow for interrogation, but it lacked Tsukuyomi’s heaven-defying ability to freely adjust the time flow within the genjutsu space.

You wanted to continue learning other genjutsu, especially “Genjutsu: Time-Space” released by the clan elders. After all, this genjutsu was like a low-cost “Tsukuyomi.” Once learned, it would provide ten times more time for learning ninjutsu, and could even train your mind simultaneously!

However, this genjutsu required a three-tomoe Sharingan to master. You tried it, disbelieving, but ultimately failed.

Fortunately, the Great Elder, considering the preservation of the Uchiha clan’s legacy, brought out the Uchiha clan’s genjutsu scrolls. He made copies of all genjutsu, from the introductory D-rank to the highest S-rank, excluding forbidden jutsu like Izanagi, and handed them to you.

Although you greatly coveted Izanagi, you understood the principle of knowing when to stop.

[Day 3]

Since you had intensively studied genjutsu for an entire day, equivalent to completing ten days’ worth of work in one, despite the multiple barriers within the Uchiha ancestral shrine having a spiritual energy recovery effect, you decided to sleep for a day.

Before sleeping, you looked at the barrier before you and suddenly thought of something. You called out to Big Boss Hei Miao, asking him to prepare a large bathtub for you and seal it within a large sealing scroll. Specifically, the sealing scroll had to look identical to the Uchiha clan’s genjutsu scrolls.

Although large scrolls were very expensive, this was insignificant to the wealthy Uchiha clan and the Ninja Cat clan, whose main business was selling ninja tools. Big Boss Hei Miao quickly procured the necessary items for you.

Meanwhile, the Great Elder also received a message from the Ninja Cat clan. The several civilian teams he had arranged to leave the village earlier had safely arrived in several large cities in the Land of Fire. The first team to depart had even entered the capital of the Land of Fire, reaching the Daimyo’s feet.

Nobles, by nature, rarely witnessed bloodshed, and ninja seldom actively targeted nobles. This was the Great Elder’s strategy for continuation.

[Day 4]

After the civilian teams and the several ninja squads sent out as bait to Konoha all sent back news of their safety via the ninja cats, the Great Elder immediately gathered the elite young and middle-aged ninja of the clan. He decided to quietly leave the village while the Hokage was besieging them without attacking.

After all, food reserves within the clan compound were limited. Although the Uchiha could use their advantageous terrain to defeat the invading Konoha ninja, if Konoha simply besieged them without attacking, the Uchiha would lose their last chance to resist within a few days due to lack of food.

Given the current situation, although the Great Elder didn’t understand why Danzo had not yet ordered the Root to forcefully attack the Uchiha clan, only besieging them, this was your best chance to leave the village before the Uchiha clan and Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo completely fell out!
