[10:00 AM]
Still feeling unsatisfied, you asked Boss Black Cat to buy another batch of senbon needles and continued practicing the Fire Release nature transformation on them.
Once infused with Fire Release, the senbon's heat may only rival that of steel wire, but their piercing power becomes terrifyingly effective—they can easily stab through human flesh, and if they hit vital organs like the heart, they can kill on the spot.
More importantly, senbon are incredibly stealthy weapons—especially deadly to those without dōjutsu. Their usual lack of power is now perfectly compensated by your Fire Release nature transformation.
...
[11:00 AM]
You finished practicing chakra nature transformation and sat cross-legged to begin the Bloodline Meditation Technique.
Under the interplay of Spirit and dōjutsu power, something strange began to stir within your bloodline. You felt a pull—a force causing your bloodline to undergo mysterious changes. With it, your Spirit and ocular power steadily increased, and even your chakra reserves and physical attributes experienced subtle improvements.
...
[12:00 PM]
Bathed in sunlight, you gradually lost yourself in the sensation of your bloodline being further awakened.
The power drawn from your bloodline made you realize how easy—and enjoyable—it was to grow stronger.
...
[1:00 PM]
Boss Black Cat's voice pulled you out of your trance, and you suddenly realized how ravenous you were. It seemed the Bloodline Meditation Technique, while capable of awakening the Uchiha clan's power, was also a ravenous energy devourer.
You both headed straight to the snack street at the clan's center and had a hearty meal, then made your way to the riverbank for fishing.
...
[2:00 PM]
Since your target this time was to eliminate all Root barrier ninjas within an hour, you knew the battle would consume a lot of energy.
You caught a good number of fish in advance—those the rod couldn't handle were taken down with shuriken. Three baskets were stuffed to the brim, and five or six fish sizzled on the grill. To store your food supply, Boss Black Cat even brought a sealing scroll to store the grilled fish.
...
[3:00 PM]
The three Root ninjas arrived right on time. As expected, they used scouting techniques to confirm that your chakra was completely suppressed.
Before they could spread out, you hurled three senbon infused with Fire Release chakra. The Lightning Release user in front reacted fast, using the Body Flicker Technique to dodge.
But the two behind him weren't so lucky. One had his throat and chest pierced—he caught fire from within and collapsed in a sea of his own flames. The other narrowly avoided a fatal hit but still took a senbon to the shoulder—half his body ignited as he screamed and fled.
You drew a kunai and used the Body Flicker Technique to leap across the river, directly intercepting the charging Lightning Release user. With your Sharingan, you disrupted his hand seals. One strike—that glowing white kunai sliced clean through his neck, leaving behind a pair of burning, severed corpses.
The ninja you'd pierced earlier had already used the Body Flicker to escape some distance. Though your Speed outmatched his, closing the gap was still troublesome.
So, you opened your Sealing Scroll and released the black flames of Amaterasu.
In less than thirty seconds, the fleeing Root ninja who tried to block it with chakra was completely incinerated.
You reopened the scroll and absorbed the dying Amaterasu flames back inside.
Meanwhile, Boss Black Cat had already cleaned up the battlefield and brought the three briefcases to you.
As you asked if he had a more convenient way to store items, you opened the cases and pocketed useful battle tools like kunai and explosive tags.
The large scroll, part of the [Barrier Technique: Sixty-Four Seal Layers], was handed off to Boss Black Cat. He said he could temporarily reverse his Summoning Technique and store the item at his home in the ninja cat clan's realm. You nodded and agreed.
...
Soon after, you rushed to the next battlefield. With your previous experience, you only needed to use the Manipulated Shuriken Technique imbued with Fire Release to swiftly wipe out the next batch of Root ninja.
Then came the dull part—looting. You summoned Boss Black Cat to collect the spoils, then moved on to the next target.
Across different battlefields, you kept to a strategy of quick, decisive kills. At the same time, you steadily refined your Uchiha-style swordsmanship and Manipulated Shuriken Technique. With the Sharingan allowing you to copy enemy taijutsu and movement, you absorbed combat experience from each fight.
As time went on, your efficiency in dealing with Root ninjas only improved.
Eventually, fighting itself became the least time-consuming part—what really slowed you down was traveling, looting, and restoring your chakra with soldier pills.
Though Root ninjas often relied on repetitive tactics and had long since become little more than training dummies for you, occasionally you'd run into someone tougher.
But you had no intention of engaging in fair fights. After trading a few blows, you'd widen the distance with shuriken, then pull out a scroll and unleash Amaterasu to end the fight swiftly.
Efficiency had become your top priority in battle.
After all, your time was limited...
...
[4:00 PM]
You wiped your forehead—finally done eliminating the last group of Root ninjas. You'd gathered a mountain of loot and a complete set of Barrier Technique: Sixty-Four Seal Layers release scrolls.
At the same time, some Uchiha clansmen on the outskirts of the territory discovered the bodies. On another side, a few idle shinobi near the battlefield had also been killed by you. You knew it wouldn't be long before the truth came to light.
But you had come here for one reason only—to kill. The rest had nothing to do with you.
You burned your blood-soaked clothes and broken gear in a fire, then jumped into the river to bathe. After drying off, you changed into the clothes Boss Black Cat had prepared in advance and returned to a remote training ground to rest.
...
[5:00 PM]
The Uchiha compound was in an uproar. Konoha's ANBU had already been dispatched to negotiate with the Uchiha leadership.
Jonin from the Police Force tried to maintain order among the furious clansmen, preventing them from recklessly storming the Hokage Tower.
Uchiha Fugaku knelt in the center of the crowd, repeatedly pleading in a low voice for his people to give him—and Uchiha Itachi—another chance. He promised that once Itachi returned from Root, he would give everyone a satisfactory explanation...
It was hard to imagine: in a clan where strength was everything, the clan head didn't wield his power but instead lowered himself in such a manner—completely handing the initiative to outsiders.
But none of this concerned you.
Even though soldier pills had helped you recover chakra and stamina, wiping out so many ninjas in one go still took a heavy toll.
So you found a secluded corner of the training grounds and went to sleep.
...
[6:00 PM]
Because of your interference, the Night of the Massacre never arrived as planned.
Even so, the Uchiha clan was still under lockdown within their compound.
Uchiha Itachi had yet to return.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Sasuke, for the first time ever, was invited to the Akimichi family restaurant after school to hang out with Naruto, Shikamaru, and the others.
Boss Black Cat brought you a bedroll.
And so, you slept under the open sky once again.
