Chapter 69: A Crisis of Extinction? Just a Little Entertainment After Dinner
Konoha Police Force Department. Uchiha Akira signed his name on the scroll, and everything was in order. Suddenly, the system's alarm sounded in his mind.
[Warning! A clan-annihilation level threat targeting the Uchiha Clan has been detected! Mission triggered: Reverse Destiny - Prevent the Night of Clan Annihilation!]
"It's here," Akira thought. He put down his pen, and a curve of excitement, not tension, formed on his lips. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. From being afraid of the Night of Clan Annihilation when he first transmigrated, to now looking forward to it, this was a change brought about by his increased strength.
Now, Akira was fully confident he could prevent the so-called Night of Clan Annihilation and grind all those scoundrels coveting the Uchiha into the dirt.
The system's screen then unfolded before him, with lines of text clearly listing the names of the incoming enemies.
[Threat Source Locked: Uchiha Itachi (Mangekyō Sharingan)]
[Threat Source Locked: Snake - Orochimaru (S-rank Missing-nin)]
[Threat Source Locked: Immortal - Kakuzu (S-rank Missing-nin)]
[Potential Highest Threat Source Locked: Masked Man - Uchiha Obito (Mangekyō Sharingan, Space-Time Ninjutsu)]
Akira's eyebrow twitched slightly. He hadn't expected that, because of him, Danzō would actually invite Orochimaru and Kakuzu. Both were veteran Kage-level powerhouses, and now characters who shouldn't have appeared here in the original story were drawn in.
"A bunch of weaklings, daring to assassinate a god?" Akira stood up and walked to the window. "Transmit my command. Assemble the 12 Guard Team, and Uchiha Tekka, the Vice Captain of the Konoha Police Force Department, for an emergency assembly at Training Ground 1. Within 5 minutes."
Training Ground 1. Yellow sand covered the ground, and the scorching sun hung overhead. The 12 Guard Team, led by Uchiha Kenji and Uchiha Shunichi, were already kneeling on one knee like 12 silent statues. Beside them, Uchiha Tekka, the Vice Captain of the Konoha Police Force Department, also knelt, his expression solemn. There was an unusually heavy atmosphere in the air. For the Clan Head to summon them in such an emergency manner, it must be a major event.
Akira's figure appeared before everyone. "You may all rise." The 13 men stood up in unison.
"In 3 days, there will be a clan-annihilation battle targeting our Uchiha." Akira's words instantly stirred up monstrous waves in the hearts of his 13 trusted subordinates. Clan annihilation. These two words made them instantly turn cold. Who dared to come and annihilate the Uchiha Clan? How audacious!
An uncontrollable killing intent rose from their bodies. "Who!?" Uchiha Tekka, as the Vice Captain, was the first to ask sharply, his voice filled with extreme anger. "Is it the Konoha higher-ups? Is it that old dog Danzō!?"
"The participants include Danzō's Root, 3 S-rank Missing-nin, and the genius of our Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Itachi." Each name intensified the killing intent of those present. Especially the name "Uchiha Itachi," which made them feel deep-seated shame and anger. As an Uchiha, to betray the clan was a disgrace.
"That traitor! How dare he betray the clan!"
Akira raised his hand and gently pressed it down. All the commotion and anger instantly vanished. "I summoned you here not to send you to your deaths. You have only one task: in 3 days, when night falls, coordinate the entire Guard Team to send the elders, women, and children of the clan to the underground shelter. No one is to leave until the signal for the end of the battle is given. This is the highest order."
Uchiha Kenji, the head of the Guard Team, instantly understood the Clan Head's intention. Clear the battlefield. This was… to face all the enemies alone?
"Clan Head! This is absolutely not permissible!" Kenji could no longer remain calm, stepping forward and saying urgently. "The purpose of the 12 Guard Team's existence is to be your sword and shield! Facing such powerful enemies, even if we risk our lives, we must fight alongside you!"
"Fight alongside me?" Akira smiled. "Kenji, you've misunderstood something. This is not a war of equal strength. For me, this is just a little entertainment after dinner." The moment his words fell, an indescribable, terrifying pressure erupted from his body.
The 13 Elite Jōnin, the elite of the Uchiha Clan, actually began to tremble uncontrollably. Their Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun wildly, and their legs went weak.
"Thud!" "Thud!" Including Uchiha Kenji and Shunichi, the 13 top experts, without exception, fell awkwardly to their knees once again.
"Now, do you understand?" Akira slowly retracted the pressure. The 13 trusted subordinates gasped for breath, their bodies already drenched in cold sweat, as if they had just been pulled back from the brink of drowning.
"We... understand." Uchiha Kenji's voice trembled uncontrollably. He finally understood the meaning of the Clan Head's words. Yes, in the face of such power, the so-called S-rank Missing-nin were merely lambs to the slaughter.
"Go execute the order. Remember, protect our clan members well. After I clean up the trash, I will personally go and bring them back to a new Uchiha—an Uchiha that no one will ever dare to challenge again."
"Yes!" 13 figures transformed into 13 afterimages, disappearing from the training ground. Only Akira remained in the entire training ground.
Well then, next, he should go and discuss the specific details with the former Clan Head. As the only other top Uchiha combatant besides himself, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't be left idle. On the Night of Clan Annihilation, perhaps he could still see Fugaku and Itachi perform their famous scene of filial piety.
