The Chapter get Retranslated
At this time, on the outskirts of Konoha, outside the almost derelict Uchiha Clan Compound, a figure slowly appeared. It was Mizu. "Oh, so this is the gathering place of the Uchiha Clan? It's my first time here," Mizu said calmly, looking at the vast clan compound, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Due to the Uchiha Clan's special status in Konoha, this vast compound was actually the Uchiha Clan's autonomous region.
Back when the Uchiha Clan hadn't been annihilated, even Konoha had no right to interfere in the Uchiha clan's affairs. It could be said to be a state within a state.
The once prosperous clan compound had now become this desolate sight. Weeds grew around the perimeter walls, and the walls and main gate had decayed due to years of disrepair.
"Alright, let's go in and take a look," Mizu smiled and then slowly walked into the Uchiha Clan Compound. At this moment, in the main hall of the Forest of Death Tower, the battle continued.
Deidara easily defeated Choji Akimichi with Earth Release. Afterward was Neji Hyuga against Hinata Hyuga. Although Neji Hyuga was Hinata Hyuga's cousin by name, he showed no mercy towards her.
Although Hinata Hyuga eventually ignited a powerful fighting spirit under Naruto Uzumaki's encouragement, it was still useless. The gap in strength could not be overcome by fighting spirit alone.
Neji Hyuga not only showed no mercy but also acted extremely ruthlessly, almost taking Hinata Hyuga's life, but he was stopped at the last moment.
Naruto Uzumaki also issued a challenge to Neji Hyuga because of Hinata Hyuga. Neji Hyuga looked at Naruto Uzumaki disdainfully, not taking it to heart at all.
Afterward was Tenten against Temari. Although Tenten's weapon skills were quite strong, Temari's abilities completely countered Tenten, and she was quickly defeated by Temari.
Then, Kankuro also defeated a ninja from Otogakure (Hidden Sound Village). At this point, the battles were almost halfway through, leaving only Gaara, Rock Lee, Dosu, and Jasmine.
The electronic screen continued to scroll and then stopped shortly after. Gekko Hayate glanced at the electronic screen and then announced: "Next match, Gaara versus Rock Lee. Will both contestants please come to the arena."
"Oh oh oh oh!!!!! It's finally my turn!" Rock Lee's eyes immediately burned with a fervent flame, and he clenched his fists tightly. Might Guy, standing behind Rock Lee, showed a relieved smile and clapped Rock Lee hard on the shoulder, laughing loudly: "Alright!!! Lee!! Go and unleash your youth!!"
"Yes!!! Guy-sensei!!!" Rock Lee shouted, then flipped and jumped into the arena below. Gaara's body transformed into countless grains of sand, gathering in the arena. The two immediately stood facing each other.
"Come on!!! It's time to unleash my youth! I won't hold back!!!" Rock Lee shouted. "Heh heh, same to you. I need more blood, so don't disappoint me," Gaara said with a twisted smile, looking at Rock Lee, letting out an eerie chuckle, while his body trembled uncontrollably.
Watching Gaara's appearance, Temari, from above, frowned. "I have a bad feeling." "Is it because he saw the previous battle that the monster inside him is stirring?" Baki also looked at Gaara's current state with a grave expression, quickly pondering in his mind.
"Although I don't know much about that 'melon head's' skills, he definitely can't win against Gaara," Kankuro said confidently with a smile.
"That's right. Although that guy is indeed fast, his skills are only average." Temari also said with a smile, then put down her worries. She was afraid that Gaara would lose control due to his opponent being too strong.
At this moment, the match officially began. "Please instruct me!!!!" Rock Lee shouted loudly, then his body charged fiercely towards Gaara. "Heh heh," Gaara's lips immediately curled into a bloodthirsty smile.
In the desolate, uninhabited Uchiha Clan Compound, Yan slowly walked, observing the surrounding buildings and houses, feeling a slight sigh in his heart. However, at this point, he was already deep within the Uchiha Clan Compound, where houses became increasingly sparse, and Yan's footsteps halted.
This place was completely different from before; there were no buildings around. Two enormous red (aebe) pillars stood on either side, with a staircase leading upwards between them.
On the flat ground above, there was a grand shrine. The plaque above the shrine bore the large characters 'Naka Shrine'. The entire building exuded a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
This place was precisely the Naka Shrine of the Uchiha Clan, used for festivals and worshipping Uchiha deities. A powerful ancient aura permeated the air.
Yan paused for a moment, then ascended the steps and slowly entered the shrine. The floor was traditional tatami mats, and the interior of the shrine was arranged with great solemnity.
On the wooden high platform were countless spirit tablets of Uchiha Clan ancestors. Incense and candles burned on either side of the spirit tablets, with offerings placed in front. The overall environment was very clean, indicating that someone regularly cleaned it—most likely Sasuke Uchiha.
"What a strong sense of family honor," Yan chuckled, then went to the western side of the shrine, to the seventh tatami mat from right to left. Yan pondered for a moment, then lifted the tatami mat.
Beneath it, on the floor, were three tomoe-shaped patterns, identical to the Three-Tomoe Sharingan. Yan no longer hesitated, forming a hand seal with both hands, while his eyes simultaneously turned into a crimson Sharingan. A surge of Dōjutsu power immediately spread out.
"Boom!!!!" A slight tremor suddenly occurred. The floor inscribed with the three tomoe magically floated upwards, revealing a pitch-black opening leading underground. The dark corridor appeared incredibly eerie. "This is it," Yan's face immediately broke into a smile, and he walked down.
The torches on both sides lit up, and Yan soon reached the end of the tunnel. It was a vast hall, but Yan was not surprised, as his father had told him that this was where the Uchiha Clan held their meetings, so it naturally needed enough space to accommodate so many people.
In the very front center of the hall, there was a very conspicuous sunken area. Ancient patterns were carved into the walls on both sides. An ancient stone tablet immediately came into view,
quietly illuminated by torches on either side. Above the stone tablet, a wooden plaque with the characters 'Uchiha' hung on the wall. The entire hall was filled with a solemn yet eerie atmosphere.
The stone tablet was inscribed with many winding and bizarre characters that clearly weren't from this era. At least, Yan couldn't understand what was written without using his Sharingan.
Yan slowly walked to the front of the stone tablet, his eyes suddenly gleaming with intense light. "This must be the stone tablet Father spoke of.
I want to see what exactly is recorded on it." Yan said calmly. As soon as his words fell, his crimson Sharingan opened wide, and a powerful Dōjutsu power surged towards the stone tablet.
