Hearing Mirai Uchiha's remarks, Sarutobi Shinnosuke's expression turned extremely grim.
Those words—repeated constantly by his father and Danzo—echoed in his mind.
Yet now, they were being used to judge the Sarutobi Clan?
How utterly infuriating!
"Mirai Uchiha, don't think I don't see through your intentions," Shinnosuke gritted his teeth. "Sending Sarutobi ninja to the frontline is just your way of eliminating us!"
Mirai Uchiha scoffed. "Don't flatter yourself. If I wanted to kill you all, I wouldn't bother with such schemes."
Arrogant!
Shinnosuke clenched his fists furiously. "Then what's the purpose of sending our entire clan's ninja to the frontline?"
Mirai calmly observed the enraged Sarutobi, replying indifferently, "I simply wanted to see what choices you would make when your own interests are threatened."
"Back under Hiruzen Sarutobi's rule, the Uchiha Clan faced such situations countless times, yet still obeyed the Hokage's orders without question."
"The Senju Clan was even more extreme; despite facing near annihilation, they never retreated a single step on the battlefield."
"Compared to them, the Sarutobi Clan's performance is truly disappointing..."
Shinnosuke's face darkened further. "Are you saying… that if we don't defect, you'll spare us?"
Mirai chuckled and shook his head. "No, no, no. No matter what you choose, the Sarutobi Clan will only ever face one fate—extinction."
"Why must it go this far?" Shinnosuke couldn't help but ask angrily. "Our weakness poses absolutely no threat to you!"
Mirai shrugged. "Precisely because your weakness holds no danger for me, killing you brings me greater joy."
"You should be kneeling and thanking me for allowing your clan to have survived until now after Hiruzen's death."
Hearing the mockery in Mirai's tone, Shinnosuke could no longer contain his fury. He shouted directly, "Attack together! Now, our only chance lies in fighting desperately!"
At his command, the Sarutobi ninja behind him surged forward toward Mirai Uchiha.
[Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!]
[Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!]
[Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!]
[...]
Apart from the Uchiha Clan, the Sarutobi were known as the most skilled in Fire Release techniques among ninja clans.
Now, hundreds of elite Sarutobi ninja simultaneously unleashed their fire-based jutsu, creating a terrifyingly intense display of power.
Facing the roaring sea of flames, Mirai Uchiha formed a transparent protective barrier around his body.
"Sealing Technique: Absorption Seal!"
In the blink of an eye, the firestorm vanished completely.
Seeing this, the Sarutobi clan ninja stood agape in shock.
He actually absorbed the Ninjutsu directly...
How could they fight now?!
Before giving the enemy time to think, Mirai Uchiha formed the "Ushi" seal with both hands: [Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction!]
Boom!
Everything within a hundred meters was instantly swallowed by raging flames. The Sarutobi clan ninja suffered heavy casualties immediately.
Mirai Uchiha rushed into the crowd, his Rinnegan eyes radiating terrifying ocular power.
[Universal Pull!]
Powerful gravity pulled everything surrounding Mirai toward him.
The next second, Mirai lifted his arm: [Shinra Tensei!]
Crunch!
Crunch!
Crunch!
...
Under the simultaneous pull and explosive push, everything was crushed to dust.
The Sarutobi clan ninja were also crushed into dust.
[Ding! Congratulations, Master! Obtained: +1 Chakra!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Master! Obtained: +1 Physique!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Master! Obtained: Fire Release: Roaring Flame Technique!]
[...]
As a series of System notifications echoed, the Sarutobi Clan ninjas lay strewn about in chaos on the ground.
The originally lush forest had completely lost its former appearance.
Trees were reduced to ash, the earth scorched and cracked, and the grass torn away for hundreds of meters, revealing the charred yellow ground.
Mirai Uchiha couldn't help shaking his head.
With his current strength, just casually exerting himself caused such tremendous changes to the landscape.
The entire ninja world had become too small for him to move freely anymore.
After a brief sigh, Mirai Uchiha's figure disappeared from the spot.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke wasn't dead yet — the moment he gave the attack order, he bolted.
He had to go finish that guy off.
----
"Cursed! Faster! Faster!"
"Faster already!!!"
Hearing the screams of agony behind him, Sarutobi Shinnosuke sprinted forward frantically.
Only by gaining enough distance during the time his clansmen held up Mirai Uchiha would he have any chance of escaping that person's claws.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as wished.
A golden-yellow figure flashed past — Mirai Uchiha, cloaked in Nine-Tails chakra, already blocked his path.
"Damn it… He actually got here this fast..."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke hadn't anticipated Mirai Uchiha would arrive this soon.
Could it really be that not even hundreds of well-trained elite ninja from the Sarutobi Clan could slow him down for a moment?
"First, you stirred up chaos using your own clan members to escape from Konoha."
"Then you ordered your people to attack me while fleeing yourself."
"And if I'm not mistaken... You were the ninja who repaid Sakumo Hatake's kindness with betrayal all those years ago, right?"
"With such a ruthless nature, you make even Hiruzen Sarutobi look gentle in contrast."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke snorted coldly. "If my father had been as decisive as I am, it would have been your Uchiha Clan rotting in their graves by now!"
At this point, Sarutobi Shinnosuke no longer saw any reason to play the coward.
His hands flew through a sequence of Hand Seals.
[Earth Release: Earth Dragon Flame Bullet!]
[Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!]
...
Sarutobi Shinnosuke was quite skilled—roughly on par with an elite Jonin.
Now fully committed, he unleashed one Ninjutsu after another, launching wave after wave of fire and earth techniques at Mirai Uchiha.
But Mirai didn't dodge or block. He simply stood there, letting the attacks hit him without flinching.
"Is this truly the best final performance you can give before death?"
Mirai appeared directly in front of Sarutobi Shinnosuke and kicked him fiercely.
Shinnosuke's body tumbled across the ground several times. His impact struck the earth, plowing a deep furrow into it like a plow dragging through soil.
He lay there face-first in the dirt—a humiliating end.
"Now, I just need to eliminate the remaining Sarutobi in the village, and our feud will finally be settled."
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado were all dead.
Their clans had also suffered annihilation.
More importantly, these men were now eternally labeled as traitors in Konoha's history.
Thinking about all this filled Mirai with an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.
After so much planning, he had finally achieved his original goal!
Next, he would turn his attention toward unifying the entire ninja world…
