Stopping the Uchiha Clan Extermination with a Fire

After sorting through and absorbing the life memories of the five Shazos, Naruto Shazo woke up and was immediately overwhelmed with ecstasy.

The chakra of a Naruto Chunin, the powerful physique of a Pirate Boatswain, the spiritual pressure accumulated over decades by a Soul Society Shinigami, the abilities and scientific knowledge of the future possessed by an Interstellar Era planetary scout, and the cultivation knowledge Demon Xiazhuo had studied for centuries.

These five elements of power came together, creating all-around growth in strength.

Marvel Shazo: "Good, good, good. I'm the only useless one."

The combined power of four bodies and six souls fundamentally elevated the life level of every Shazo.

Their potential became far greater. Whether they cultivated or trained, the resulting growth would increase tremendously.

The 99 Series' cheat was really valuable. It was seriously amazing!

The burden in Naruto Shazo's heart vanished in an instant. Feeling utterly refreshed, he could not help throwing back his head and laughing aloud.

It was not just Naruto Shazo who was ecstatic. All six Shazos were overcome with joy.

Shazo in the Marvel World laughed heartily. "We actually gathered Death Fire Sea all at once. The connections between anime worlds really are tight."

The young Star Trek Shazo let out a sigh of relief and muttered softly, "From today onward, the dangers brought by being a prominent tree in the wind will all become opportunities for me to make a name for myself throughout the Federation."

"I can start considering the plan to take revenge on my family and enter the Federation's central government as a hero."

"I need to properly recall how Napoleon became emperor."

Sailor Shazo of the Pirate World was simple-minded. He grinned, exposing his snow-white teeth. "Hehe, I think it's time I switched places with the captain."

Shazo in the Bleach World was even happier. His century-long obsession finally had hope. A thousand words ultimately became one calm sentence: "I can enter the Central Spirit Arts Academy."

The translucent Demon Xiazhuo stared at Shinigami Xiazhuo, his eyes filled with fervent anticipation. "Do your best. My future depends entirely on you."

As time passed, their ecstatic emotions gradually faded, and the Shazos turned their attention to Naruto Shazo.

They already knew what great trouble Naruto Shazo was facing.

Star Trek Shazo remarked, "You're going to interfere with the Uchiha Clan Extermination Night. Are you confident?"

Naruto Shazo smiled confidently. "I wasn't before. Now I am."

Marvel Shazo looked at his own hand and asked, "Our increase in strength this time is indeed exaggerated, but can it really let you leap from Chunin to a Kage-level Ninja?"

"Besides, even a Kage-level Ninja might not be able to defeat Obito Uchiha and Uchiha Itachi."

"Shazo of the Naruto World, are you really confident?"

Naruto Shazo kept smiling. "I really am."

Demon Xiazhuo chuckled. "You haven't understood Naruto Shazo's true intentions."

"The ones he wants to save are not the Uchiha Clan, but only Uchiha Izumi's family of three."

Star Trek Shazo nodded. "I understand. If he only needs to save Uchiha Izumi's family, then he really does not need to defeat two Mangekyō Sharingan users."

"As long as he can break through the Root Ninja's blockade and escape Obito Uchiha's pursuit, that will be enough."

On the surface, the Uchiha massacre did indeed seem earth-shaking.

Not only did it have the Anbu's tacit approval and Root's active involvement, but Uchiha Itachi wielded the blade with his Mangekyō Sharingan while Obito Uchiha pushed events forward with his own Mangekyō Sharingan.

But in the end, the Uchiha Clan extermination was a conspiracy.

And conspiracies could not stand the light.

Naruto Shazo could ensure that he would not be casually killed. Once the extermination began, all he had to do was set fire to the Uchiha compound, and the atrocity would be exposed early to the eyes of the Konoha Ninja.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the participants inside and outside Konoha would instantly go from fanged slaughterers to rats walking the streets in daylight, able only to burrow into the sewers as quickly as possible.

The Root Ninja might even wipe their faces clean and transform on the spot from Uchiha butchers into Uchiha protectors.

In fact, as long as Fugaku Uchiha had resolutely stepped forward and fought back against the attacks, he could have resolved the extermination crisis after paying a certain price.

Yet he chose to give up and cooperate with his son in destroying the entire clan.

This was Fugaku's old failing.

During Nine-Tails Night in Konoha's forty-eighth year, he believed the forged orders of Shimura Danzō and watched helplessly as the Fourth Hokage died in battle.

Before the Jonin meeting in Konoha's forty-ninth year, he believed the Third Hokage's persuasion and moved the entire clan out of Konoha's central district, creating the conditions for the rumors that followed.

Fugaku Uchiha had no foresight, lacked decisiveness, and was easily swayed. He truly was not suited to be a leader.

The Uchiha Clan chose a clan head like that. They could only be said to deserve extermination.

Star Trek Shazo asked, "But that means the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and Konoha will remain. The threat of extermination has not truly disappeared."

Naruto Shazo's smile gradually turned less kind, carrying an obvious hint of an ancestor's ruthlessness. "I don't want much. I only want to save Uchiha Izumi's family and put my own mind at ease."

"What does it have to do with me whether the Uchihas live or die?"

"I only need to stop Obito Uchiha for a moment and snatch Uchiha Izumi away. I won't care about anything else."

"Whether it's Fugaku Uchiha, Uchiha Itachi, or those Uchiha Jonin with Three-Tomoe Sharingan, it does not matter if they die."

"After all, Konoha will not collapse just because they die."

Demon Xiazhuo chuckled. "Then there is no problem. The reason the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the Third Hokage escalated so intensely that it reached extermination was not mainly because of the Uchihas, but because the Third Hokage felt a fatal threat."

"The Third Hokage gave tacit approval, and the Konoha Ninja lost their organization. That was why it erupted completely."

"As long as the Uchiha upper ranks all die and more than half their ninja are killed, the Third Hokage will no longer feel threatened, and he will not allow Shimura Danzō to keep acting recklessly."

"After all, Konoha's interests are also the Third Hokage's interests."

Star Trek Shazo agreed. "Don't be fooled by Shimura Danzō's usual bluster. He even dared to incite Kakashi to assassinate the Hokage, but he is still the Third Hokage's dog, and his leash is tied tightly enough."

Sailor Shazo said, "Now there's only one final problem left. How do we deal with Obito Uchiha's Kamui?"

Naruto Shazo answered, "Kamui is indeed formidable, but I know its specific intelligence. I also know that Obito only has one Mangekyō that cannot lock onto targets from long range. It is only troublesome."

Marvel Shazo shook his head. "Sigh, there is still risk. Uchiha Izumi and her parents should never have moved into the Uchiha compound."

Pirate Shazo smiled. "They probably didn't know there was danger."

Naruto Shazo said, "That's right. In Konoha, I can feel just how powerful the Uchihas are. Their deterrent power in the village is frighteningly great."

"Of Konoha's three hundred Jonin, the Uchiha Clan accounts for thirty-two, and every one of them is an elite Jonin with a Three-Tomoe Sharingan. They are enough to contend against all the other Jonin combined."

"Without counting Kage-level Ninja, they are fully capable of launching a coup."
