Exterminating Rogue Ninja, Uchiha's Fame Rises Again

The fierce battle in the valley took a dramatic turn in an instant because of Uchiha Yao's unexpected Illusion Technique: Descent into Darkness!

What kind of battle-hardened ninja was Uchiha Tekka?

Though shocked that Yao could use a One-Tomoe Sharingan to cast such an effective illusion, his combat instincts left him no room for hesitation!

"Finish them!"

"Splurt!"

Blood sprayed everywhere!

The controlled rogue ninja could not even mount a proper resistance before Tekka beheaded him with a single slash!

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Boom! Boom!

Flames and gale-force winds raged. Having lost the coordination of their iron triangle, the other two rogue ninja were targeted by Uchiha Tekka and the many Police Force members.

They were blasted into scraps before they could even finish screaming!

In the blink of an eye, the situation had been completely reversed!

The battle was over.

The air was thick with the stench of blood and scorched flesh.

Uchiha Yao lightly leaped down from the rock. His face was slightly pale, and fine beads of sweat covered his forehead.

Casting the immensely powerful Dragon Fire Technique, then immediately using his ocular power to release an illusion, had taken quite a toll on the twelve-year-old.

Uchiha Tekka strode up to Yao. His captain's uniform was stained with plenty of blood, yet his face bore an indescribably complicated expression.

"Yao..."

Tekka opened his mouth, wanting to say something, only to realize that he did not know how to phrase it for the moment.

He patted Yao on the shoulder, with a little too much force.

"Good kid! You did great!"

A thousand words ultimately condensed into this simple praise.

Yet the approval and admiration within it were self-evident.

"You flatter me, Captain. I was just lucky."

Uchiha Yao answered calmly, as though that stunning strike just now had been something insignificant.

That unruffled attitude made Tekka and the others think even more highly of him.

Neither arrogant nor impatient—this boy's future achievements would be limitless!

"Lucky? Hahaha!" Tekka laughed loudly. "If that was luck, then wouldn't the rest of us be worse than trash?"

"That Dragon Fire Technique was already no weaker than one I cast with all my strength! And that illusion... with just a One-Tomoe Sharingan, you left the enemy completely unable to resist. Sure, they underestimated you, but achieving that effect already puts you far above most of our clansmen."

The Sharingan bestowed by the system had brought Uchiha Yao's understanding and use of this basic illusion to an extremely high level.

This could no longer be explained by sheer mental strength alone.

"Clean up the battlefield! Count the casualties! Then return to the village!"

Tekka waved a hand and issued the order.

On the way back to Konoha, the atmosphere was clearly different from before.

The squad members frequently looked toward Uchiha Yao, who walked in the middle of the group, their eyes filled with respect—the reverence reserved for the strong.

After this intense battle and the extreme use of his Chakra and ocular power, Uchiha Yao felt that his total Chakra reserves had improved somewhat. His control over the Sharingan had also become more natural.

Ding! Squad mission: Exterminate Wandering Rogue Ninja (mission rank raised to A-rank due to the appearance of three jonin) completed!

The host performed outstandingly during the mission and played a critical role. Clan Honor Points obtained: 200!

Current Clan Honor Points: 735.

The system's cold notification sounded in his mind.

An A-rank mission and 200 Honor Points—not bad.

More importantly, after this mission, his prestige within the Police Force would undoubtedly reach a new height!

This would be crucial to his future control over the Police Force, and even the entire Uchiha Clan.

After returning to Konoha, Uchiha Tekka immediately took Uchiha Yao to Police Force headquarters to report on the mission to Vice Captain Uchiha Inabi.

When Inabi heard Tekka's account of the battle—especially how Uchiha Yao had used a One-Tomoe Sharingan to cast an illusion, instantly reverse the situation, and severely injure the enemy with the Dragon Fire Technique—even his normally stern face revealed an incredulous expression.

"Tekka, are you sure you're not exaggerating?"

"Vice Captain, I guarantee it with my honor—every word is true!" Uchiha Tekka said decisively. "If not for Yao turning the tide, our squad would likely have suffered severe casualties!"

Uchiha Inabi fell silent for a moment, looking at Yao with a complicated gaze.

"Uchiha Yao, you did very well."

He spoke slowly, his tone carrying approval.

"The Police Force will remember your contribution."

"It was my duty," Uchiha Yao replied modestly.

After leaving Police Force headquarters, Uchiha Tekka patted Yao's shoulder and laughed heartily. "Kid, you've really become famous this time! Even Captain Inabi sees you in a new light! From now on, no one in the Police Force will dare underestimate you!"

Uchiha Yao merely smiled faintly.

This was only the beginning.

His goal was not simply to become famous in the Police Force.

Over the following days, news of Uchiha Yao's brilliant performance during the border mission, where he had turned the tide single-handedly, quickly spread throughout the Uchiha Police Force and even the entire Uchiha Clan Compound!

The Uchiha Clan revered martial prowess and strength.

They had never been stingy with their admiration and praise for true geniuses and strong individuals!

Uchiha Yao's prestige within the clan reached a new peak!

At the same time, the Clan Honor Points on his system panel slowly increased over these days as his reputation rose.
