"Mom! Dad! Look!"
"House!"
"The houses... they just grew out of the ground themselves!"
The innocent voice of a child broke the silence before dawn, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a tidal wave in the hearts of all the Uchiha clan members!
All eyes were fixed on that once-empty space!
No!
That place can no longer be called an open space!
Rumble! Rumble!
Accompanied by a uniform, mechanically beautiful roar, one after another exquisite and elegant two-story buildings, bearing the Uchiha Gunbai clan crest, are rising from the ground at a speed that completely defies the laws of physics!
Those three-meter-tall, grotesque architectural puppets are like the most efficient worker ants.
They have a clear division of labor and work together seamlessly, making them even more disciplined than the most elite ninja squads!
Some puppets' arms transformed into giant rams; with each strike, the ground trembled, and an indestructible foundation was formed!
Some of the puppets have dozens of flexible mechanical arms extending from their backs, like the most skillful weaver, piecing together standard building materials that are manufactured and compressed on-site using Earth Release Ninjutsu with millimeter-level precision!
They even pre-installed the pipes and wiring inside the house!
That's not building a house at all!
That's printing!
It's creating something out of thin air!
"Heaven... Amaterasu Omikami above..."
An elderly Uchiha with white hair was so excited that his whole body was trembling.
The veins on his hands, which were gripping the cane, bulged from the effort, and tears welled up in his cloudy old eyes.
"In my eighty years of life, I have never seen such a... such a miracle!"
"Our Uchiha home... our new home... it really... it really was built overnight!"
His voice was hoarse, filled with endless emotion and joy.
The surrounding tribespeople all felt the same way!
Some of them collapsed to their knees, bowing in worship to the rapidly forming city!
Some people hugged their wives and children tightly, too excited to speak, only able to express their ecstatic joy with trembling shoulders!
Uchiha Fugaku stood at the front of the crowd, his usually serious and cold face now filled with shock and emotion.
He looked at the white figure hovering in mid-air, standing with its hands behind its back, calmly directing everything.
Besides awe, I felt a deep sense of gratitude and pride.
This is the new head of the Uchiha!
A man who can turn myths into reality!
"Father."
The young Uchiha Itachi somehow ended up beside Fugaku.
He looked up at the magnificent city, his usually calm black eyes sparkling with an unprecedented brilliance.
" Lord Gen'yō's power has transcended the realm of 'ninja'."
He is creating a whole new world for us.
Upon hearing this, Fugaku lowered his head and took a deep look at his exceptionally gifted son.
He reached out his large hand and pressed it heavily on Itachi's shoulder.
"That's right, Itachi."
"So remember everything you've seen today."
"Remember who gave the Uchiha on life."
Remember what kind of path we will be taking in the future!
"Yes, Father!"
Itachi nodded heavily, his eyes becoming incredibly determined.
Time has lost its meaning in the face of this miraculous construction speed.
As the first rays of morning sunlight fully bathed the newly grown forest, the thousands of construction puppets seemed to receive some kind of command and simultaneously stopped what they were doing.
They transformed into streaks of light, reconverging behind Uchiha Gen'yō before silently turning into scrolls and disappearing.
What unfolded before all the Uchiha clan members was the prototype of a brand-new city with neat planning, wide streets, and rows of houses!
More than a thousand standardized residential buildings have been completed!
Although the interior decoration is not yet complete, the main structure is already as stable as a mountain!
In the heart of the city, the most magnificent castle tower, standing a hundred meters tall, is already more than half-built!
Its majestic form resembles a towering giant, silently guarding this land!
One night!
Just one night!
A city large enough to house thousands of people miraculously rose from nothing before everyone's eyes!
"Roar--!!!"
After a brief silence, a thunderous, fervent cheer erupted from the depths of their souls!
"Long live Lord Gen'yō!"
"Long live the Uchiha!"
The tribespeople could no longer contain their excitement. They surged towards the new city like a tidal wave, towards the man who had given them all!
They chanted his name, their eyes filled with the purest, most fervent adoration!
Meanwhile, thirty miles away, the Iwagakure Ninja who witnessed everything through telescopic Ninjutsu had already been petrified.
The binoculars in their hands fell to the ground with a clatter, and everyone looked like a puppet whose soul had been ripped out, their faces filled with endless blankness and fear.
"Reporting... reporting to Lord Tsuchikage..."
The ninja in charge of the report was so trembling that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
" The Uchiha city... it... it really is..."
"I saw it."
Ōnoki floated in mid-air, his aged body trembling slightly in the morning breeze.
It wasn't because of the cold, but because of an uncontrollable fear stemming from a life-or-death instinct!
Looking at the magnificent city that had sprung up overnight, he felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart tightly!
In a single thought, a forest can be created.
A magnificent city was built overnight.
This power... this method...
"Father..."
Kitsuchi swallowed hard, feeling as if his throat was on fire.
"What kind of being have we provoked?"
Ōnoki did not answer.
He just stared intently at the white figure in the distance, surrounded by thousands of clansmen, looking like a god descending to earth.
A chilling thought kept replaying in his mind.
"Defeat him?"
"No, the question now is no longer whether we can defeat him..."
"But when he truly begins to use this power to wage war, who in the Shinobi World can stop him?"
"Who else is worthy to be his enemy?!"
