Chapter 10: Suppress the Rebel Ninjas and Become Famous Again
The fierce battle in the valley took a dramatic turn in an instant due to Akira's unexpected use of Genjutsu: Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique!
What kind of seasoned combat ninja was Uchiha Tekka? Although he was shocked that Akira could use a One-Tomoe Sharingan to cast such an effective Genjutsu, his combat instincts left him no room for hesitation.
"Deal with them!"
Pfft!
Blood splattered. The controlled rogue ninja couldn't even put up a decent resistance before Tekka decapitated him with a single stroke.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Boom! Boom!
Flames and strong winds raged, and the other two rogue ninjas, having lost the coordination of their iron triangle, were focused down by Uchiha Tekka and many Guard members. They were blasted to smithereens before they could even let out a complete scream.
In an instant, the situation was completely reversed. The battle ended. The air was filled with the strong smell of blood and char.
Akira lightly leaped down from the rock, his face slightly pale, and fine beads of sweat trickling down his forehead. Simultaneously casting the immensely powerful Great Dragon Fire Technique, and then immediately activating his ocular power to release Genjutsu, was truly a significant consumption for him at only twelve years old.
Uchiha Tekka strode over to Akira, his captain's uniform stained with a lot of blood, but his face held an indescribably complex expression.
"Akira..."
Tekka opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found himself at a loss for words. He patted Akira's shoulder, a little heavily.
"Good kid! Well done!"
Thousands of words ultimately condensed into this simple compliment. But the recognition and admiration contained within were self-evident.
"Captain, you flatter me; it was just luck."
Akira responded calmly, as if that stunning strike just now was an insignificant trifle. This understated attitude, on the contrary, made Tekka and the others look at him with even greater esteem.
"Neither arrogant nor impetuous, this child's future achievements are limitless!"
"Luck? Haha!" Tekka laughed loudly. "If that counts as luck for you, then aren't we all worse than useless? That Great Dragon Fire Technique, its power was already no less than my full strength! And that Genjutsu... a One-Tomoe Sharingan could render the opponent completely helpless. Although the other side did underestimate you, achieving such an effect is far beyond most of the clan members."
The Sharingan granted by the system allowed Akira's understanding and application of this basic Genjutsu to reach an extremely high level. This could no longer be explained by simply having strong mental power.
"Clean up the battlefield! Count the casualties! Then, return to the village!" Tekka waved his hand, issuing the command.
On the way back to Konoha Village, the atmosphere was distinctly different from when they came. The squad members occasionally cast their gazes toward Akira, who was walking in the middle of the group, their eyes filled with respect—a reverence for the strong.
After this high-intensity battle and the extreme use of Chakra and ocular power, Akira felt that his total Chakra seemed to have improved again, and his control over the Sharingan became even more adept.
[Ding! Squad Mission: Annihilate Rogue Ninja (Mission level increased to A-rank due to the appearance of three Jonin) has been completed!]
[The host performed excellently in the mission, playing a crucial role, and received Family Honor Points: 200 points!]
[Current Family Honor Points: 735 points.]
In his mind, the system's cold notification sounded. An A-rank mission, 200 honor points, not bad. More importantly, through this mission, his prestige within the Guard would undoubtedly reach a new height. This would play a crucial role in his subsequent control of the Guard, and even the entire Uchiha Clan.
Upon returning to Konoha, Uchiha Tekka immediately took Akira to the Guard headquarters to report the mission status to the vice-captain, Uchiha Inaho. When Inaho finished listening to Tekka's description of the battle, especially when he heard that Akira used his One-Tomoe Sharingan to cast Genjutsu, instantly turning the tide of the battle, and severely wounding the enemy with the Great Dragon Fire Technique, his usually serious face revealed an expression of disbelief.
"Tekka, are you sure you're not exaggerating?"
"Vice-captain, I guarantee on my honor that every word is true!" Uchiha Tekka said unequivocally. "Under the circumstances at the time, if Akira hadn't turned the tide, our squad would probably have suffered heavy casualties!"
Uchiha Inaho was silent for a moment, looking at Akira with complex eyes.
"Uchiha Akira, you did very well," he spoke slowly, his tone filled with praise. "The Guard will remember your contribution."
"This is what I should do," Akira replied humbly.
Coming out of the Guard headquarters, Uchiha Tekka clapped Akira's shoulder and laughed heartily: "Kid, you've completely made a name for yourself this time! Even Captain Inaho looks at you with new eyes! No one in the Guard will dare to underestimate you anymore!"
Akira merely smiled faintly. This was just the beginning. His goal was not just to become famous in the Guard.
Over the next few days, the news of Akira's brilliant performance in the border mission, single-handedly turning the tide of battle, quickly spread within the Konoha Police Force and throughout the entire Uchiha Clan Territory.
The Uchiha Clan is martial and competitive. They never stint on their admiration and praise for true geniuses and powerhouses. Akira's prestige within the clan reached a new peak. At the same time, his Family Honor Points on the system panel also slowly increased over these days due to the rise in his prestige.
