This Pain Needs to End Quickly

Uchiha Daiki was deeply surprised by the results of his first attempt at using the power of the Three Tomoe Sharingan.

"So this is the power of three tomoe? I didn't expect it to work this well..."

Special Chakra continued to surge endlessly from within his body.

This Chakra could directly control his Three Tomoe Sharingan, allowing him to cast genjutsu or hypnotize his opponents.

At that moment, the Kirigakure Jonin controlled by Uchiha Daiki turned around after slaughtering his own companions and attacked several more of them.

Only after killing five or six comrades in succession did he finally break free from the hypnotic state.

Seeing his hands stained with his companions' blood, the Kirigakure Jonin looked both furious and shocked.

He abruptly turned around and looked at Uchiha Daiki.

Before he could demand an explanation, a sharp Kunai had already pierced his heart.

"Drop dead!"

After disposing of the Kirigakure Jonin who had broken free of his control, Uchiha Daiki immediately set his sights on the next target.

He only targeted jonin.

His figure flashed, leaving behind two Kunai embedded in the ground.

The enemy's attack missed, while Uchiha Daiki had already appeared behind another opponent.

"Oh no..."

The Kirigakure Jonin sensed that something was wrong and was just about to counterattack when he suddenly felt a chill at his neck.

Terrified, he instinctively looked toward Uchiha Daiki's hand.

The latter was grinning as he held a bloodstained Kunai, then viciously stabbed it toward him again.

"Ah—"

The Kirigakure Jonin let out a painful scream.

His expression was filled with utter terror.

It was the fear of death.

Yet in reality, he did not know that he had merely fallen under the genjutsu of the Uchiha man before him.

In reality, his body was frozen in place, his face dripping with cold sweat.

Everything he had just seen and felt was an effect created by the genjutsu.

However, Uchiha Daiki's use of genjutsu to control his opponents was naturally not just to make them experience the terror of being killed.

"I'm doing this to reduce my clansmen's casualties too. You can understand that, right? You won't blame me, will you?"

As he spoke, Uchiha Daiki viciously plunged the Kunai in his hand into his opponent's heart.

This time, he truly killed his opponent. It was not genjutsu.

After killing another Kirigakure jonin, Uchiha Daiki began looking for other targets.

With his newly awakened Three Tomoe Sharingan, its sharp powers of perception and insight, and an Advanced Body Flicker Technique that surpassed Uchiha Shisui's—

He moved rapidly across the battlefield, which spanned more than ten thousand square meters, weaving through it alone with nothing but a Kunai.

In just a short while, more than twenty Kirigakure ninjas died at his hands.

The pressure on the Uchiha Clan was greatly reduced, and they began organizing a counterattack.

The enemy finally noticed that something was wrong. Panic and fear began to spread among them, dealing a severe blow to their morale. They no longer dared to continue fighting.

"What's with that kid? Is he Body Flicker Shisui?"

"No, he isn't Uchiha Shisui! He's another Uchiha ninja skilled in the Body Flicker Technique!!"

"I heard him say that his name was Uchiha Daiki..."

"That guy is far too strong. Abort the mission! Retreat now! Otherwise, we'll all die here!"

"..."

Amid the chaos, the remaining several dozen Kirigakure ninjas began fleeing in every direction.

The Uchiha Clan members, who had suffered heavy casualties and a crushing blow to their morale, naturally would not let such an opportunity slip away.

The moment they saw the enemy fleeing, they immediately gave chase, settling old scores.

Uchiha Tekka and Uchiha Inabi were no exception.

When Uchiha Yashiro saw that Uchiha Daiki was not pursuing the enemy, he stopped curiously and asked, "Why aren't you chasing them down?"

"I've already taken care of most of the slightly stronger ones. The rest aren't worth my time."

Uchiha Yashiro: "..."

After giving Uchiha Daiki a speechless look, he hurriedly followed the others.

Only after most of the Uchiha clansmen had chased the enemy far away did Uchiha Daiki casually look around.

The three tomoe in his calm eyes receded, returning to normal.

But deep in his eyes, a trace of compassion flickered.

This was the feeling any normal person would naturally have after witnessing the hellish battlefield before them.

"War really is brutal..."

"The Uchiha clansmen who sacrificed themselves probably never knew they had actually been used."

Uchiha Daiki thought silently to himself.

He had long noticed the traces of Water Release and Fire Release clashing that remained at the scene.

There were not many scorched trees or patches of land, and the affected area was not large. This meant Water Release had held the upper hand.

The lingering dense mist in the forest further proved it. Otherwise, it should have long since dissipated under the evaporation of Fire Release.

The ninjas of Kirigakure were all skilled at using the Hidden Mist Technique.

Moving through the mist was greatly advantageous to them, but the opposite was true for their enemies.

This was also an important reason why, in the brutal battle just now, the Uchiha Clan had suffered successive defeats and so many casualties.

"Thank you."

Just as Uchiha Daiki was lost in thought, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

He turned around and saw a boy of about eleven or twelve looking up at him.

The boy's head was wrapped in bandages.

There was also a horrifying slash wound across his cheek.

"Thank you for saving all of us."

The boy met Uchiha Daiki's gaze and spoke again.

"What's your name?"

Uchiha Daiki asked.

"Uchiha Twelve."

The boy replied.

"Twelve..."

Uchiha Daiki repeated softly. That meant there had been at least twelve children in the boy's family, and this boy was the twelfth.

But when Uchiha Daiki looked around, he did not see any of the boy's relatives.

"An eleven- or twelve-year-old child went to war and survived alone..."

Uchiha Daiki's heart tightened slightly, and his expression became much more solemn.

"Does the wound hurt?"

He looked at the boy before him, his voice becoming gentler.

But the boy shook his head. "My face has already gone numb."

"My hand is the same..."

He looked at his right hand.

Only then did Uchiha Daiki notice that the boy's right hand hung limply at his side, seemingly unable to move.

He reached out to examine him, then revealed a helpless, regretful expression. "The slash wound damaged your facial nerves. Not only has it affected the feeling in your face, but it has also affected the nerves in your arm..."

"Oh, then... will it get better later? Once I recover from my injuries?"

The boy asked innocently.

The question made Uchiha Daiki's heart clench painfully again.

He did not know how to explain it further to the boy.

Nerve damage was irreversible for ordinary people. Even Tsunade would probably have no solution.

At that moment, Uchiha Daiki silently swore that he would end this cruel war and completely rewrite the fate of the Uchiha Clan.
