My clan was exterminated when I was three years old, and you want me to beat Uchiha Itachi? Chapter 068

[Day 29]

It seems you’ve lost interest in everything except the Destructive Flame. After devouring the chakra of ten opponents with it, you went off to the side to try and further master this power.

This day is also your last day of training.

Fortunately, today’s reward finally piqued your interest. Although it was still a Fire Release, its style was clearly not of the Uchiha clan. Perhaps all of the Uchiha’s Fire Release techniques have already been given to you as rewards, leaving nothing else to offer.

Or perhaps, Danzo intentionally groomed you to become a copy of Uchiha Itachi.

In any case, this Fire Release was very interesting.

It was called “Earthenware Jutsu.”

Unlike ordinary Fire Release techniques that are exhaled from the mouth, this one involves forming hand seals to directly make flames appear on the opponent’s body.

This jutsu, with its vastly different release method, gave you new inspiration and understanding for Fire Release nature transformation.

If you could combine it with the “Destructive Flame,” wouldn’t that be a low-tier Amaterasu?!

You believe that Danzo, as the Darkness of the Shinobi World, couldn’t possibly have failed to consider this. However, how to fuse them is something you can only figure out by trying it yourself.

[Day 30]

After a long period of slaughter, you feel as if you are naturally cold-blooded, and have even fallen in love with the pleasure of killing, savoring different flavors of enjoyment from it. The bloody and dark environment of the Root might be more suited to your true nature.

However, the half-month Root special training has ended. You followed Danzo out of the dark underground space and finally saw sunlight once again.

Halfway there, Danzo sighed and decided to tell you the truth about being from the Uchiha clan, saying that he risked his life to snatch your life from Uchiha Itachi during the night of the clan’s massacre!

You nodded and said that this memory was already very blurry for you. You thanked Danzo for telling you the truth and for nurturing you, and promised to assist him in killing Uchiha Itachi in the future…

Rarely, Danzo gave you two days of vacation. During this time, there would be no training or missions, and you were permitted to stroll around the village.

Looking at the new Anbu and Chunin identification cards, which were placed under the Root ninja rules, and a box containing five million ryo in cash.

For the first time, you felt that the Root seemed quite humane…

Perhaps this is why Danzo, despite not being accepted by the general public, could still control such a vast underground organization.

After all, the Tongue-Confining Curse Seal cannot kill people; its restrictive power is far lower than that of a certain clan that likes to carve a swastika on their foreheads, yet the scale of the two organizations is incomparable.

[Second Month]

Following the route in the Root ninja guidelines, you passed through a secret passage to a pre-prepared dormitory. You shed the rags you were wearing, put on a brand new Chunin uniform, and walked out of the Anbu collective dormitory with an air of confidence.

Due to your attire and your unforgeable identification card, the people around you simply assumed you were a new recruit who had just passed the Anbu examination, and they greeted you one after another. You smiled and nodded in response.

Occasionally, someone would ask about your background. You would then reveal the identity information prepared in the Root ninja guidelines, and surprisingly, it didn’t arouse any suspicion. You couldn’t help but marvel at how flawless Danzo’s intelligence work was.

While eating breakfast together, you were praised for joining the Anbu just a few years after becoming a ninja, truly a young genius!

At this moment, you realized that after a month of high-intensity training in the dark Root, you had not only improved in strength, but your body had also almost developed to the level of someone approaching their teens.

Perhaps, the development of your bloodline also contributed to this.

After the meal, you presented your vacation certificate and walked towards the bustling streets of Konoha, under the envious gazes of others.

Looking at the pedestrians and vehicles on the street, you discovered that after experiencing endless slaughter, you were already unable to integrate into this world under the sun; it was a primal resistance!

Perhaps, this was the Will of Root that Danzo kept muttering about when he used Kotoamatsukami on you!

Even though you had already cleared the imprint left by Kotoamatsukami in your spiritual world, you had to admit that too much slaughter would completely change a person.

Since that was the case, you felt that your current cold-blooded self was quite good, unburdened and free to do whatever you wanted…

Reaching the end of the street, your gaze was suddenly drawn to a small shop around the corner. Looking up, the shop’s sign prominently displayed the words “Ichiraku Ramen.” The shop was already full of customers, and several people were even lining up outside.

Is it that good?

For some reason, you suddenly wanted to try it. It was lunchtime anyway, so you might as well give it a shot.

You joined the end of the line. Just then, a hand suddenly rested on your shoulder from behind. Turning your head, you saw Iruka standing behind you.

He smiled and asked which graduating class you were from. As a ninja academy teacher, he might not remember every student’s name, but he was familiar with the appearance of every graduate, especially since you looked young and had already become a Chunin. Such an excellent student should have left a deep impression on him!

Fortunately, you had an identity pre-fabricated by Root. You said you were from a very small ninja clan on the border of the Land of Fire.

Although your family had always wanted to join Konoha, due to their remote geographical location and the lack of strong clan members, their previous applications had been rejected by Konoha. It wasn’t until your generation, being more outstanding, that you were exceptionally given the opportunity to serve in the Anbu. By observing your performance during your time in the Anbu, there might be a chance for your family to join Konoha…

Iruka nodded, patting your shoulder and saying that it was indeed not easy. However, finding this ramen shop as soon as you arrived in Konoha was indeed a very discerning move.

You chatted while finishing two large bowls of tonkotsu ramen.

Although it was a bit greasy for your eating habits, for a ninja who constantly expends a lot of physical energy, such ramen was indeed a rare delicacy.

After the meal, you asked Iruka if he could take you to the Uchiha clan or the Sarutobi clan for a visit. Since your family’s most skilled ninjutsu was also Fire Release, clans like the Sarutobi and Uchiha, these great Fire Release clans of Konoha, were places you greatly admired.

Coincidentally, Iruka also said he was going to the Uchiha clan to visit his student. He regretfully told you that just a month ago, a traitor appeared within the Uchiha clan. He massacred the entire clan overnight and then defected to a seemingly very powerful mercenary group.

And this traitor was the older brother of his student!

You nodded regretfully, saying that fate was truly wonderful. A month ago, you were still outside the village completing your Anbu assessment mission, and you never expected to hear about the Uchiha clan’s destruction as soon as you returned. What a pity~

Since you said you wanted to see Sasuke, to see what the last descendant of the Uchiha clan looked like,

Iruka invited you, and you both set off together for the long-unvisited clan compound…
