Chapter 5: Live Broadcast of the Entire Village, Scene of the Danzo Society's Death
Flames soared into the sky; this was the territory of the Uchiha clan, and also hell.
Sasuke stood in the middle of the street, holding the specially made kunai in his hand. His palms were sweaty.
The system notification sound rang in my ears.
[Mission Objective: Survive for ten minutes.]
[Current Status: Attribute Modification (Peak Genin).]
If we can hold out for these ten minutes, we can transmit the footage from here.
"Where am I?"
Naruto looked around at the burning houses and the corpses lying on the ground, still not understanding what was going on.
"You idiot, stop spacing out at a time like this!"
Sasuke roared.
A kunai flew past Naruto's cheek, severing a few strands of his blond hair.
Three figures leaped out of the darkness; the ninja wearing animal masks were from Root.
"kill."
The leading Root ninja gave the order.
Without any further words, the three short swords were drawn simultaneously.
Sasuke's body reacts faster than his brain.
The system-enhanced physical abilities allowed him to keep up with his opponent's speed.
Forming the seal: Si, Wei, Shen, Hai, Wu, Yin.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
The enormous fireball rolled forward, and the intense heat drove back the enemies in front of it.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Naruto exclaimed, his eyes wide.
He had never seen such a large fireball before.
Sasuke never uses his full strength at school.
Stop looking! Look at what's behind!
Sasuke landed, panting heavily.
The Great Fireball consumed a significant amount of chakra.
When Naruto turned around, he found that a Root ninja had already circled around behind him.
The short sword was raised high, aimed at Naruto's neck.
"That's not enough. If the actor dies, the play can't be performed."
"Give this kid a little something extra. Temporary skill card, load!"
[Ding! Host is detected to be facing a death threat.]
[Temporary skill issued: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique (Trial Version)]
[Chakra circuits are being taken over...]
Suddenly, a strange memory appeared in Naruto's mind, and his body began to move uncontrollably.
His fingers moved so fast that they left afterimages—a hand seal he had never formed before: Ren!
"What is this... Never mind!"
Naruto shouted out instinctively:
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
In a panic, Naruto formed hand seals, and as the smoke exploded, more than a dozen Narutos appeared on the street.
"Charge! How dare you bully me!"
A dozen or so Narutos rushed forward, attempting to overwhelm the enemy with sheer numbers.
The Root ninja's eyes remained unmoved as he swiftly swung his sword, causing his shadow clones to burst open one after another like balloons.
The gap in strength is too large.
Even though the system boosted their physical abilities to the peak of Genin level, they were still as vulnerable as infants when facing these battle-hardened killing machines.
"The main body is on the left."
The Root ninja instantly recognized the true identity.
Kick out.
Naruto felt as if he had been hit in the stomach by a hammer, and he was sent flying backward.
"Cough cough..."
Naruto clutched his stomach, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Isn't this a game? Why does it hurt so much?
"Naruto!"
Sasuke wanted to come to the rescue.
Two other Root ninjas blocked their way.
Sasuke could only dodge awkwardly, and his body was covered in several bloody cuts.
Is this the truth behind the night of the massacre? Was this the enemy Itachi faced that night?
How did Itachi manage to kill his entire clan while protecting himself?
No! Itachi didn't protect himself; Itachi was in league with them.
Sasuke gritted his teeth, anger overpowering fear.
"Lightning Release..."
He wanted to use the one that was still under development, but it was too late.
A Root ninja teleported behind him and pierced his shoulder with a kunai.
"Ugh!"
Sasuke screamed and the kunai in his hand fell to the ground.
"it's over."
The Root ninja raised his sword.
"stop."
An aged voice came from above, and the Root ninja froze in mid-air.
Sasuke clutched his bleeding shoulder and struggled to lift his head.
A person was standing on top of the utility pole next to them.
Half of his face was wrapped in bandages, and he was leaning on a cane.
Danzo Shimura.
When Sasuke met his enemy, his eyes instantly turned red.
This is the person who gouged out Shisui's eyes and forced Itachi to kill his father and mother.
"Danzo!!!"
Sasuke roared, trying to rush forward.
The wound on his shoulder ripped open, and the excruciating pain forced him to kneel down again.
Danzo looked down at the two children below as if they were two ants.
"The remnants of the Uchiha clan," Danzo's voice was completely flat. "And..."
My gaze shifted and landed on Naruto in the corner.
"Nine-Tails Jinchuriki".
Naruto wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up, leaning against the wall.
Is this the bad guy Sasuke was talking about?
"Why are you killing us?" Naruto shouted. "What did we do wrong?"
Danzo did not answer.
He pulled a glass bottle from his pocket; inside was an eye.
"Give these eyes back!" Sasuke threw all the shuriken in his hand like a madman.
The Root ninjas around Danzo easily blocked it.
"madness."
Danzo put the bottle away.
"Since we're all here, this saves us the trouble."
He made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Get rid of them all."
The Root ninja hesitated, "Lord Danzo, that's the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. What about the Third Hokage's side..."
"I'll explain things to Hiruzen."
Danzo said coldly.
"Just say it was done by Uchiha rebels. They had to sacrifice themselves to quell the threat of the Nine-Tails' attack."
"The dead can't talk."
Naruto was stunned, a chill running from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
Sacrifice? Get rid of?
He always thought that only the villagers disliked him, and only those ignorant children bullied him.
His grandfather, who had been with him for three generations, always told him that as long as he worked hard, people would recognize his talent.
It's all fake.
In this old man's words, his life was like the weeds by the roadside.
They can cut it off with any excuse.
"I'm from Konoha too..."
Naruto's tears welled up in his eyes; at this moment, he was truly just a child in both mind and age.
"Why did you kill me? I tried so hard to fit into this village."
"I'm going to kill you. Do it."
Danzo lost his patience.
Several explosive tags floated down lightly, landing right at Naruto's feet.
"Run! You idiot!"
Even though Sasuke said he hated it, his body was more honest than his mind when he saw his comrade about to die.
He shoved Naruto aside, flames engulfed everything, and the shockwave overturned the street.
Naruto rolled several times before getting up, covered in dust and dirt.
"Sasuke?"
As the smoke cleared, Sasuke lay in a pool of blood.
His back was charred black, and blood stained the ground.
"cough……"
Sasuke coughed up blood.
He struggled to open his eyes and looked at Naruto, who was completely unharmed.
"You... you're such a loser..."
Sasuke's voice was very weak.
"Stop spacing out...run!"
Naruto crawled over.
Sasuke, who always called him an idiot and looked down on him, was about to die trying to save him.
Why?
The higher-ups want to kill us, and the village wants to kill us.
Why do you still need to protect me?
"Sasuke..." Naruto's tears fell on Sasuke's face.
Sasuke could no longer hear; excessive blood loss had caused him to fall into a coma.
Only Danzo remained standing on high, coldly watching this scene.
"Still alive? The Uchiha clan has a tenacious will to live."
Danzo's Wind Release chakra was gathering.
It's vacuum jade; he's going to finish the job.
At this moment, Naruto's brain almost shut down.
What Naruto? I acknowledge it, and there's also Konoha.
Screw it!
They all want to kill me! They all want to kill Sasuke!
Then I'll kill you all!
Deep within the sealed space, behind a massive iron gate, a pair of scarlet vertical pupils opened.
His eyes were filled with hatred and endless mockery, clearly indicating that Kurama had no intention of reconciling with Naruto at this point.
"Little brat."
Are you angry?
"Despair?"
"Do you want power?"
The Nine-Tailed Fox's voice echoed in Naruto's ears.
"Then let's tear the seal open a little."
Outside, Naruto lowered his head, his body trembling.
Red chakra gushed out from his navel.
The ground began to crack, and rubble floated in mid-air.
Naruto's azure pupils had now transformed into the vertical pupils of a wild beast.
"I'll...kill...you..."
Naruto let out a beast-like growl.
Crimson chakra surged into the sky, transforming into a giant phantom fox head that roared at the heavens.
A terrifying pressure instantly swept across the entire instance space, and the Root ninjas retreated in terror.
"The Nine-Tails has gone berserk?!"
"If we keep fighting, we're all doomed. Let's retreat!"
Danzo's expression also changed; this level of chakra was beyond his control.
At the control panel of the Illusionary Dojo, Roy was still staring at the numbers on the screen.
[WARNING: Dungeon energy overload.]
[The Nine-Tails' chakra overflows.]
[Emotional threshold has reached record highs.]
"The timing is perfect, right now."
Roy had been waiting for this moment: Sasuke's near death and Naruto's rampage.
Extreme emotions are enough to tear apart the boundary between reality and illusion.
His hand slammed on the button.
"If you're going to do something, do it to the extreme. Give us something big. Let the whole village see this—this is the Konoha you've been protecting!"
[System Announcement: Special mechanism triggered, live broadcast under the sky!]
[Coverage Area: The entire Hidden Leaf Village!]
[Signal source locked: Core screen of the instance.]
[Forced push notifications to the entire village.]
In Konoha Village, at dinnertime, the streets are brightly lit.
Inside Ichiraku Ramen, the hand-pulled noodle maker is tossing the dough.
In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi was picking up a dumpling.
In the Hyuga clan compound, Hyuga Hiashi is teaching Hinata Gentle Fist.
Suddenly, everyone stopped what they were doing.
The night sky overhead lit up with a huge curtain of light.
It spans the entire Hokage Rock, almost obscuring half the sky.
The clarity is astonishing; even the drifting sparks in the image are clearly visible.
"What is that? A mirage? You can't be kidding me."
"Uchiha clan territory?!"
The villagers pointed and whispered.
Hiruzen Sarutobi dropped the dumpling in his hand onto the table.
An ominous premonition welled up in my heart.
The scene depicts a burning street, a child lying in a pool of blood, and a rampaging Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
There was also a very familiar figure standing on a high place.
The camera zoomed in, giving a close-up of that old face.
Danzo Shimura.
It was magnified countless times and presented to tens of thousands of villagers.
The sound was amplified by the system and exploded in the air above Konoha.
That's what Danzo said in the dungeon just now.
Word for word.
"Hiruzen has already acquiesced. For the sake of Konoha's peace, the Uchiha clan must be wiped out tonight! Not even the infants!"
The whole village was in an uproar.
Did Hiruzen tacitly approve? He spared no one, not even infants?
Is this something that a high-ranking official who spends all day promoting the Will of Fire would say?
Before the villagers could even process this enormous amount of information...
The next, even more explosive statement came out.
In the scene, Danzo is pointing at Naruto.
"Even the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, if they're in the way, we'll deal with them too!"
"Just say it was done by Uchiha rebels."
The entire Hidden Leaf Village seemed to have been put on pause.
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, turned deathly pale instantly. His pipe slipped from his mouth and crashed to the ground, breaking in two.
This fig leaf has been forcibly torn off.
The entire Hidden Leaf Village was in an uproar!
