Feel Pain, Feel Despair, Sweep Away a Thousand Armies with One Sword, Look Down Upon the World

"I dragged your entire Konoha headquarters into hell. Your families who remained in Konoha, those who didn't escape in time, have all gone to hell as well. Experience the same pain as the Uchiha Clan!"

"Feel pain, feel despair, welcome death. This is the special life package I prepared for you. Enjoy it!"

Uchiha Shadian swept his cold gaze over everyone present, his eyes devoid of even a trace of emotion.

His scarlet Sharingan struck terror into people's hearts.

His icy presence sent chills through anyone who came near him, making their backs go cold. It felt as though death itself were watching them, their lives and deaths entirely at the mercy of his whim.

"You demon!"

"Why did you do this to Konoha? Why did you kill everyone? How has Konoha wronged you?"

The Konoha ninja who did not know the truth behind the Uchiha Clan's extermination heard that their relatives left behind in Konoha might have gone to hell, and angrily shouted their questions at Uchiha Shadian.

Uchiha Shadian turned his scarlet gaze toward the voice and saw an ordinary Konoha chunin trembling all over, his eyes fixed on Uchiha Shadian with intense hatred.

"Why?" Uchiha Shadian's lips curled in mockery. "Then you should ask your great Third Naruto and the rest of Konoha's higher-ups why they secretly plotted and ordered the Uchiha Clan's extermination."

"They feared and coveted the Uchiha Clan's power, conspiring to slaughter every Uchiha and claim the Sharingan's power for themselves."

"Unfortunately, after all their calculations, they failed to account for me."

"They never expected that I, who usually seemed so ordinary and only knew how to write books, would possess such strength—terrifying power capable of suppressing everything."

"Today, if you kill those four bastards—Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura—I can mercifully spare your lives."

"Otherwise, every one of you will be buried alongside all the dead members of the Uchiha Clan."

Uchiha Shadian's tone was icy and filled with killing intent as he looked down at everyone without the slightest emotion.

One of Hiruzen Sarutobi's supporters immediately retorted:

"Impossible?"

"The Third Naruto is such a kind man. How could he possibly order the Uchiha Clan exterminated? I think you went insane and slaughtered your entire clan yourself, then tried to pin all this filth and blame on the Third Naruto. You demon, today we will definitely kill you and avenge everyone who died."

"That's right, this demon Uchiha Shadian must have gone mad and slaughtered his entire clan, then falsely accused the four elders."

"That damned evil clan should have been exterminated long ago."

"The evil clan deserves to die."

"Damn evil clan."

"Kill him and wipe out the evil clan for good."

"Kill him."

"Kill him and avenge our families."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

A group of Konoha ninja blinded by hatred charged at Uchiha Shadian without regard for anything else.

Itachi Uchiha frowned deeply. Hearing their words, he could not help clenching his fists.

With people like them around, was this so-called Konoha really worth sacrificing everything to protect?

Hearing their words, Uchiha Shadian did not grow angry. He only sneered. Why get angry at a bunch of dead people?

One only had to think of Naruto Uzumaki's treatment in Konoha to know that these people were nothing but ungrateful ingrates.

"Ants!"

Uchiha Shadian spoke disdainfully and slowly drew a sword from his waist.

A crowd of people, faces twisted with rage, charged toward Uchiha Shadian.

"Meido Zangetsuha." Uchiha Shadian's cold voice rang out slowly. With a swing of his sword, an enormous circular Meido shot toward the charging Konoha ninja.

The Meido was pitch-black and abyssal, nearly as massive as an entire mountain.

Facing the gigantic dark sphere hurtling toward them, those ninja foolishly threw kunai at it, as ridiculous as Shimura Danzō trying to stab Uchiha Sasuke's Susanoo with a kunai in the original story.

Every flying kunai that touched the Meido was swallowed without exception, vanishing without a trace.

"Water Release, Water Pillar Technique."

"Fire Release, Fire Dragon Technique."

"Earth Style, Earth-Style Wall."

"Lightning Release, Lightning Serpent."

Seeing that kunai were useless, several ninja unleashed ninjutsu attacks, but without exception, the moment every attack touched the Meido, it was completely devoured.

In an instant, the Meido collided with the charging Konoha ninja.

The moment they made contact, those Konoha ninja who did not know their own limits all screamed as they were swallowed into the sunless darkness of the Underworld.

The Meido vanished, and every Konoha ninja who had attacked vanished with it, leaving not even bones behind.

"Where did they go? Where did everyone go?" The Konoha ninja who had not attacked stared at the scene in shock.

"They were probably sucked by that black orb into another dimension, perhaps the world of the dead—the Underworld. After all, Uchiha Shadian shouted Meido Zangetsuha just now. That black orb likely connects to the Underworld," Shikaku Nara analyzed. At the same time, he thought, If he can open the Underworld, perhaps this is the secret behind Uchiha Shadian's ability to revive the dead. I just don't know what price must be paid.

"Don't act on your own. If you go up there, you'll only throw your lives away for nothing." With the help of medical ninja, Hiruzen Sarutobi recovered somewhat and slowly forced himself to speak.

"Itachi, I'm counting on you." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Itachi Uchiha. At present, the only one here who could possibly restrain Uchiha Shadian was Itachi Uchiha. As long as Itachi Uchiha could wear Uchiha Shadian down into exhaustion, they could send people in to gang up on him.

Itachi Uchiha glanced at the other Konoha ninja, then silently stepped forward. "Uncle, you've killed enough. Stop."

Uchiha Shadian snorted. "Stop? Are you joking? The masterminds and true culprits behind the Uchiha Clan's destruction haven't all died yet, and you want me to stop? How laughable."

"Traitor who betrayed the clan, I will kill you with my own hands." Uchiha Shadian's scarlet Sharingan looked at Itachi Uchiha without a trace of emotion.

Itachi Uchiha drew a deep breath. "If I die, Uncle, can you stop here?"

"If possible, I am willing to use my death in exchange for you stopping."

Uchiha Shadian sneered. "What the hell are you? Your life is worthless in my eyes."

"Hmph, you treacherous bastard, an ungrateful wretch. Even now, you're still thinking about this so-called Konoha. You truly are an utterly brainwashed idiot."

"Anyone who will not protect the relatives who love them most does not deserve to be human."

"You're nothing but a beast!"
