Naruto: The Fall of the Uchiha - Chapter 70
Konoha Cemetery!
Numerous small tombstones were neatly arranged before a massive stone monument engraved with countless names.
Whether familiar or not, the names on these tombstones added a solemn atmosphere to this long-deserted area.
But the thick scent of blood broke the silence on this unusual morning. Uchiha Jin, holding a blood-soaked bundle, slowly walked to a small tombstone bearing the Uchiha clan emblem.
“Sougen, I kept my promise!”
As Jin’s calm voice echoed, he disdainfully tossed the bundle in front of the tombstone where offerings were placed.
In midair, the bundle slowly unraveled, scattering a mass of unidentifiable bloody remains, creating an eerie scene.
Tsk!
Jin pulled out a handkerchief, wiping the blood from his right hand, and then began to form hand seals.
With Jin’s control, scorching flames erupted, instantly purifying everything in front of the tombstone.
Killing Danzo!
Using Danzo’s head to honor Sougen and his deceased son was the promise Jin made to the “Flame Demon.”
If possible!
Jin believed Sougen would have preferred to handle it himself, but the accumulated injuries over the years made it impossible for him to endure prolonged, intense battles, diminishing his ninja skills day by day.
Faced with Danzo, who was always guarded by Root members, Sougen had no chance of successfully assassinating him.
This was why Sougen secretly joined the “Jade Fragmentation Faction” and became a death warrior when Jin proposed the “Rebirth Plan.”
Although Danzo’s life was just a bonus for Jin, it should at least comfort Sougen’s spirit.
Looking at the small tombstone that seemed to smile at him, Jin’s slightly irritated mood began to calm down.
So…
“Can’t you dead people just stay quiet?”
As Jin’s angry roar echoed in his mind, a thunderous roar erupted in another dimension, the Underworld.
Under the overwhelming pressure of this world’s will, four black-haired ninjas, who had been chattering, finally shut their mouths, though their lively eyes continued to communicate.
Ordering the Uchiha clan to engage in a bloody duel with Root remnants was to showcase the Uchiha clan’s prowess and gather resources for this nascent underworld.
Even with Danzo as a solid foundation, maintaining the underworld still required a significant amount of Jin’s Mangeky? Sharingan power.
Those Root ninjas, especially from the Yamanaka and Aburame clans…
Although brainwashed by Danzo, their strong souls were valuable resources for the nascent underworld.
Danzo, you truly deserved to die, you wasteful scoundrel!
With a hint of resentment rising in Jin’s heart beneath the mirrored surface of the underworld, Danzo’s agonizing screams echoed once again.
Hiss…
Even the four experienced Uchiha ninjas felt a shiver down their spines at these horrific cries.
Too tragic!
As the only ones who could move freely in this world, they were painfully aware of the torment those beneath the ground faced.
Soul communication was transparent!
Just by observing each other, they could see Danzo and his followers endlessly suffering in painful memories.
They’d get a brief rest every three to four hours, which wasn’t a mercy but the worst kind of punishment.
Doing nothing, waiting for the next cycle of suffering…
Because of this, the four new Uchiha souls behaved extremely well, fearing they might suffer the same fate.
But fortunately…
According to the two recently deceased Uchiha, this space was likely linked to their “Jade Fragmentation Faction” elder.
So…
“Who would have thought Uchiha souls would be so compatible with the underworld!”
A surprised voice sounded as a transparent figure appeared before them, curiously observing.
“Elder Jin!”
The four stepped forward, cheering in surprise.
Luckily, it was as they suspected. Otherwise, they couldn’t imagine a more dreadful future.
Unable to rest even in death, souls being manipulated…
Too terrifying!
Thinking of this, Uchiha Nanci stepped forward, cautiously asking.
“Did you create this with your jutsu?”
With Nanci’s question, the other three looked on eagerly, waiting for Jin’s answer.
“Yes!”
Jin didn’t need to hide and explained simply.
“This world is created by my Mangeky? Sharingan ability. But maintaining it consumes soul power, like theirs…”
Jin casually pointed to Danzo and the Root ninjas beneath the ground.
Hiss…
Nanci hesitated but continued.
“Then what about us…”
“Don’t worry!”
Understanding their concerns, Jin calmly explained.
“The Uchiha souls are very compatible with this world. If they’re just kindling, you are the flames, part of this world, growing stronger with it.”
Growing stronger!
Nanci’s eyes lit up at the word, as no Uchiha could resist the temptation of power, especially power linked to Uchiha’s divine abilities.
Growing stronger with the world ignited their passion, which was hard to refuse.
Nanci and the others were excited, while Jin smiled.
This underworld was shaping up into a true hell!
