"Your friend Uchiha Shisui will die, your girlfriend Uchiha Izumi will also die, and your entire clan will die one by one according to the family register. The most pathetic part is that the ones who slaughter the Uchiha will be two geniuses from the Uchiha clan themselves!"
Seeing that Uchiha Itachi was highly vigilant and unwilling to easily sign a summoning contract with him, Fuyuki did not continue to push his Elemental Spirit. He controlled the High-ranking Dark Elf to reveal a strange smile and said, "It will happen within this month!"
After finishing, the body slowly turned illusory and merged into the shadows of the tree branches: "I have always been here. Whenever you understand my utility, you are welcome to find me. The summoning contract for 'Elemental Dawn' is always prepared for you!"
The tomoe in Uchiha Itachi's pupils, which had been spinning rapidly, gradually came to a halt. He whispered, "Is genjutsu ineffective?"
Itachi stood in place, silent for a moment, as the words of the malicious summoned beast surfaced in his mind.
Uchiha Shisui would die, and the ones to slaughter the Uchiha clan would be two Uchiha genius ninjas. This statement contained a very serious contradiction. Currently, in the Uchiha clan, the only ones who could be called geniuses were Shisui and himself.
If Shisui died, where would two Uchiha geniuses come from to slaughter the Uchiha clan?
Therefore, Itachi did not believe the words of the High-ranking Dark Elf.
Casting aside the mad ravings of the malicious summoned beast, Uchiha Itachi headed toward Naka Shrine.
Today was another day for the clan meeting. If he could, Itachi actually did not want to go at all. Every time, he would argue endlessly with the Radical Faction, and every time, he and Shisui tried to stop the Radical Faction's stupidity. It was pathetic that he was actually treated like a plague god by the Uchiha!
He had also begun to lean away from the Neutral Faction; the Uchiha Radical Faction had already begun to chill his heart.
"Lord Fugaku, the weak and incompetent Konoha high-ups actually want to cut our Police Force budget. They are simply going too far!" Uchiha Yashiro said, unable to contain his rage.
The Uchiha Police Force did not need to go out, nor did they need to execute missions; they only needed to maintain the village's public order.
Konoha gave the Uchiha a salary every month—nominally a budget, not a salary.
When Konoha learned that the Uchiha were preparing to do something big, they first cut off their source of funding, drastically reducing the monthly Police Force budget to prevent the Uchiha from crazily buying millions of Explosive Tags to blow the Konoha high-ups into the clouds, sending them on a journey to the west to seek scriptures!
"Itachi!"
"Itachi!"
"Uchiha Itachi!"
Three consecutive anxious calls made Itachi, who was sitting by the wall with Shisui, rise reluctantly: "I am here."
"As a member of the Anbu, you should know what the Konoha high-ups are plotting, right?"
Uchiha Fugaku's confidant, Yashiro, did not reprimand Uchiha Itachi's attitude, but looked at Itachi standing in the corner with cold eyes: "Answer me!"
Itachi: "..."
He really wanted to laugh. Don't you know what the situation of the Uchiha clan is right now?
Could the Konoha high-ups possibly tell me these things?
"You joined the Anbu, shouldn't it be to get close to the center of the village, obtain all kinds of intelligence, and then tell us?"
"Yashiro!"
To help the silent Itachi, Uchiha Fugaku spoke up to stop his confidant, but Yashiro did not respond to Uchiha Fugaku, instead continuing to look coldly at Itachi: "Ever since you entered the Anbu, you have never brought any intelligence to our Uchiha clan, not even once!"
"Because I don't know either, so I don't say it!"
Uchiha Itachi looked at Yashiro indifferently, and his gaze also swept coldly over the nearly one hundred members of the Radical Faction.
He was not afraid of anyone present. Even someone like Yashiro, a confidant of the clan leader, could be defeated by him in an instant. The Uchiha clan was truly too weak!
The clan meeting ended unhappily as always, and Itachi did not reveal any information.
Because he really didn't know; he belonged to the Anbu directly under the Hokage, and the one targeting the Uchiha was the 'Root Division'!
Arriving at the edge of the cliff at Naka Shrine with Shisui, looking at the beautiful sunset and evening glow, Shisui suddenly said: "Itachi, I received a family mission. Uncle Fugaku asked me to monitor you."
"The Radical Faction has completely lost hope in you. At next week's clan meeting, they will start planning a riot."
"..." Itachi did not speak, staring blankly at the evening glow, not knowing what he was thinking.
"You idiot! I told you to go steal ninjutsu books, not to go steal people. Why are you following Uchiha Itachi?"
The two-meter-tall giant muttered helpless rebukes while flipping through the scrolls on the bookshelf. The High-ranking Dark Elf was currently in the Uchiha clan's library, and it was Fuyuki controlling its body.
"He is very special. I felt a pure Yin Release Chakra on him. I want to investigate the pure Yin Release Chakra energy on him," the High-ranking Dark Elf said, aggrieved.
"Don't worry about him. Investigating the Uchiha's ninjutsu scrolls is your task."
Fuyuki did not care about Uchiha Itachi. The pure Yin Release Chakra on him was likely due to some recent stimulation that caused his brain to secrete special substances, amplifying the pupil power of his Sharingan.
When people of the Uchiha clan were stimulated, their brains would secrete special substances to enhance the Sharingan. If their talent was sufficient, and they were stimulated to the point of near mental collapse, they might even awaken the 'Mangekyo Sharingan' in one go.
"How can I steal them? The Uchiha clan leader can see through my disguise. Important ninjutsu scrolls are basically kept in Naka Shrine and Uchiha Fugaku's house. I can't get close to him at all, and there's also that Kazilan Big-Eyed Egg Roll Hairstyle one too," the High-ranking Dark Elf said with dissatisfaction.
"It's an investigation, not a theft. How can a ninja's business be called stealing?" Fuyuki put down a scroll and said: "The Fire Release levels here are all too low; the strongest is only a B-rank. I'll have to rely on you for high-level Fire Release."
"Come to my house tonight. I will prepare a Summoning Scroll for you later. You go find some people with relatively large amounts of chakra, have them sign the contract, and help me accumulate pure chakra. I have a use for it!"
When Fuyuki summoned the High-ranking Spirit, he only knew that it required a large amount of chakra, but he had no concept of how much. However, with the summoning of the High-ranking Dark, Fuyuki finally knew roughly how much chakra was needed to summon a High-ranking Elemental Spirit.
According to the chakra seen by the Byakugan, creating one High-ranking Elemental Spirit required the chakra volume of a Jonin!
The strength of an Elemental Spirit was also at the Jonin level, but it did not have corresponding ninjutsu and would only fight by instinctively wielding elements of the same attribute.
Summoning a Low-ranking Elemental Spirit only required one-fifth of a Genin's chakra, while summoning a High-ranking Spirit required Jonin-level chakra. Then what about the Spirit King? What kind of terrifying amount of chakra would it actually need?
Summoning the Spirit King requires summoning seven pure High-ranking Elemental Spirits and then fusing them together!
Fuyuki dared not calculate the cost, nor did he dare to dwell on it, for he feared he would be so infuriated that he would end up biting his bedsheets at night and rolling around in frustration!
Therefore, during these six years before graduating from the Ninja Academy, he would rent out his Summoned Beasts to help other ninjas in battle. In exchange, the contractors would not only have to bear the Chakra cost for the summoning and the Chakra consumed during combat, but they would also be required to provide a weekly tribute of Chakra!
Fuyuki planned to summon the seven High-ranking Elemental Spirits immediately after the Uchiha Clan Massacre, letting them make a name for themselves in the Ninja World and become as sought-after as the Three Sage Regions!
He had already thought of a name for the Summoned Beast organization: Elemental Dawn, with their dwelling place called the Dawn Rift. He even had a backstory ready: they were spirits from another dimension who had arrived in the Ninja World by accident and hoped to gain strength through the Chakra offerings of their contractors.
Thanks to Chou Yiyun for the 100-coin tip, thank you!
PS: Regarding the description of Itachi, it comes from the official lore. Uchiha Itachi was a member of the Neutral Faction from the start. It was only after witnessing the madness of the Radical Faction during repeated clan meetings that he became disillusioned. However, he did not give up and continued to try to persuade his clansmen, all to prevent those lunatics from dragging the rest of the Uchiha down with them.
Well, in the end, the whole clan went GG, with only two left alive.
