Blood Tears, Madness, and Promises! The Uchiha's Fury!

Above the devastated ruins.

Uchiha Setsuna clenched his fists tightly, two bone-chilling glares shooting from his eyes as he turned to face Moroi, Ramii, and Dodai, the three Kumogakure ninja.

Never before had he felt such a profound, soul-crushing pain!

He was the Great Elder of the Uchiha, an eagle soaring through the heavens, free and unburdened!

And the handsome adult the fledglings of the clan looked up to!

But now, Here, He could only watch as that fledgling eagle, destined to soar beyond the clouds, to pierce the heavens, to ascend ninety thousand miles past the ram's horns, Carved out a path for his own desperate escape with its flesh and blood.

The three tomoe in Uchiha Setsuna's Sharingan spun rapidly, almost merging into a single, pitch-black line, transforming into a new pattern.

But, That was all.

Uchiha Setsuna clearly and painfully understood that he was not someone with the extraordinary talent of Kagami Uchiha.

He lacked the aptitude to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.

So, he could only stare with eyes like bulging bells, countless bloodshot veins gathering in the whites of his eyes.

His eyes were blood-red, like a demon's!

A trail of bloody tears silently traced paths down his cheeks.

Uchiha Setsuna painfully closed his eyes, but in the darkness, countless figures of the departed appeared.

Tajima Uchiha, Madara, Izuna, Kagami.

Figures upon figures, a human wall formed by the Uchihas, stood before Uchiha Setsuna.

They were silent, numb, their scarlet eyes wide open in disbelief.

Their lips, teeth, even their facial skin trembled.

They watched him like this, filled with resentment, anger, and condemnation.

Why, from the Warring States period until now, was it a mediocre failure like him who had survived?!

Uchiha Setsuna suddenly snapped his eyes open, his gaze devoid of any hesitation.

His eyes blazed like lightning, sweeping over the three Kumogakure ninja with his Sharingan, from which blood and tears still flowed.

Uchiha Setsuna suddenly threw his head back, "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

He was laughing, yet his laughter was filled with a pain that pierced the soul like a broken fingernail.

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Uchiha Ci! As the Great Elder of the Uchiha Clan, the leader of the hawk faction, and your adoptive grandfather!"

"I acknowledge your will!"

Uchiha Setsuna roared with grief and indignation:

"Go die!"

"Die here without any regrets, die freely!"

Within the barrier, Uchiha Ci's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but look at Uchiha Setsuna.

He feared the old man might get overly emotional and refuse to run, wanting to play out a scene of dying together right here.

He had already done so much, he hoped the old man wouldn't act foolishly!

Damn it, if you can't win, just run! Is that embarrassing?

However, Uchiha Setsuna raised his long sword, pointing it at the three Kumogakure ninja, his gaze as cold as an eternal glacier.

He solemnly promised:

"Don't worry, I will flee like a stray dog running for its life!"

"But these three people!"

"Will bear the eternal wrath of the Uchiha Clan!"

"From this day forward, I will mobilize the entire clan to hunt down and kill these three!"

"The Daimyo's offices and ninja villages of the five great nations—Wind, Fire, Earth, Water, and Lightning—will simultaneously receive a permanent bounty mission!"

"In addition, the Underground Bounty Exchange will forever post a bounty for their heads!"

"All major organizations in the ninja world, Star Ninja, Waterfall Ninja, Grass Ninja, Rain Ninja, Hot Water Ninja, Female Ninja, Land of Iron, Ryudoin, Akatsuki, Xuanyuan Clan, Forest, Woods, Hannya Clan, Kagerō."

"All forces, all organizations!"

"Everyone will know--"

Uchiha Setsuna's eyes were crazed, his pupils splitting, his tone as harsh as chewing nails:

"Your heads, one for one hundred million Ryo!"

Every word, etched into the bone!

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Ramii couldn't help but tremble all over, a look of panic on his face.

"Uchiha Setsuna, are you insane?!"

"Are you going to break the ninja world's unwritten rules?!"

"This is simply a path to death!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Setsuna's words, Dodai and Moroi felt as if their heads had been struck by hammers, ringing loudly.

Insane!

They've all gone mad!

The little guy has gone mad!

The old guy is going mad along with him!

In the ninja world's chain of hatred, every clan, every village had endured bone-chilling hatred and pain, but openly, no one, and no one would dare, would go as far as Uchiha Setsuna.

At most, they'd quietly post a bounty anonymously on the Underground Bounty Exchange.

The logic was simple: you killed my son, I put a bounty on your head. No problem.

But such actions would undoubtedly escalate conflicts, leading to endless wars, and if villages were destroyed and nations annihilated, the various ninja villages would naturally restrict such behavior.

However, the Uchiha were different.

As one of the two strongest clans in the Warring States period, the Uchiha had the capability to deliver this bounty, bypassing the ninja village mission system, directly to various organizations.

Although no one had ever done it before, the Uchiha indeed had the connections, forged with the might of their power.

Still, openly posting a bounty of three hundred million would likely incur costs exceeding ten billion in secret, a price that left the various organizations in the ninja world sighing in helplessness and raging in futility.

To hunt down just three people, they'd have to sell off the clan's assets and make everyone tighten their belts.

Did they still want their ninja clan to develop?

But the Uchiha were different!

The Uchiha had money, a lot of money!

Such an expenditure wouldn't damage their foundation.

Moreover, the Uchiha's hawk faction was a bunch of lunatics, likely very willing to donate their own money to pay these bounties.

Hearing Ramii's words, Uchiha Setsuna grinned, his gaze arrogant and full of disdain:

"Rules? You think I care about rules?!"

"Are you sure you've got the right person? I am--"

"Uchiha Setsuna!"

As the words fell, Ramii, Dodai, and Moroi's expressions changed simultaneously.

That's right, this old guy was Uchiha Setsuna!

At this moment, Uchiha Setsuna's name was known to all high-ranking ninjas in various countries.

Daring to stage a coup while the Second Hokage was out negotiating, plotting to assassinate the Second Hokage.

That was practically the same kind of scoundrel as their Kumogakure's Kinkaku and Ginkaku!

And during this time, the current clan head, Kagami Uchiha, was still alive!

He was a complete lunatic!

Such a person, acting on impulse, doing anything was entirely unsurvivable.

The only difference between this old guy and their Kumogakure's Kinkaku and Ginkaku was that one succeeded in assassination, while the other failed, and the coup didn't get a chance to launch.

A bona fide terrorist!

"You are a madman, a madman, a madman!" Dodai cursed in utter panic.

Ramii extended an arm, pointing at Uchiha Setsuna, trembling with anger, his arm shaking, unable to utter a single word.

Moroi looked utterly defeated, as if he had no will to live.

Could anyone understand his feelings?

Standing before him was a little madman who wore Explosive Tags like clothing.

Behind him stood an old madman who threatened to shave off his head and use it as a chamber pot.

He was on the verge of a mental breakdown!

Even Uchiha Ci felt a bit choked up at this moment.

Looking at Uchiha Setsuna made his scalp tingle.

He suddenly had the urge to not die here.

He felt that if he died here, and Uchiha Setsuna, this Great Elder, went back in his place.

Uchiha would probably perish even faster than in the original history!

Uchiha Ci couldn't help but wail internally:

Help me!

Why are all these Uchiha people a bunch of lunatics!?

After finally getting rid of one Uchiha Shisui, how did he run into another Uchiha Setsuna whose condition was even worse?

Please follow up, collect, and recommend within 12 hours!

Gentlemen, this is really important to this rookie author!

Bang bang bang!
