Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Deterrence
Ice Age!!
Facing the most powerful fusion attack formed by hundreds of Uchiha Ninja releasing Fire Release under Uchiha Fugaku's control.
Witnessing Yu, with his entire body blackened, raising his hand high, Toshogun beside him unleashed the extreme freezing power of Elementalization, as if becoming a weapon completely controlled by Yu. The terrifying Freezing Air, capable of freezing everything, instantly turned into a beam of light, freezing the entire ground beneath everyone's feet as it spreads towards the blazing flames.
Boom!!
The Ice Age of the frozen ground fiercely collided with the burning flames before them.
Two vastly opposing forces clash together, unleashing an astonishing energy.
Everyone felt a suffocating force bursting open before them, and all the Uchiha Ninja present were sent flying.
Ice and fire intertwine, endless water mist evaporates, filling the entire ruins of Naka Shrine where they are. They were horrified to see the world before them seemingly split into two extremes - on one side, a world of ice and snow, and on the other, ashes burning everything.
"Puff!!"
In the mist of water vapor, the Uchiha Ninjas lying on the ground only see their leader, Uchiha Fugaku, suddenly spewing out a mouthful of blood, his whole body being fiercely shaken away by this powerful force!
"Chief!!"
"Fugaku-sama!!"
Seeing this scene, all the Uchiha Ninja present are shocked and horrified.
"Now you should behave for a while..."
Watching Uchiha Fugaku being knocked down by Toshogun's strike, the calm and indifferent voice of Yu comes from above them.
Everyone angrily looked up, only to see the terrifying white-haired youth standing above them at some point, stepping on an invisible thread, overlooking them from a high position.
"Listen to me carefully, today is just a small lesson and warning for you..."
"If you don't want to face the fate of annihilation, I advise you not to act recklessly and make unwise choices."
Looking at the countless Sharingans below him filled with resentment, Yu's face remains calm and indifferent. His purpose in coming here today is not to destroy the entire Uchiha Clan, but to change the plot of the anime, to deter them and suppress this rebellion.
'That's the monument that was altered by Black Zetsu, isn't it...'
'Remarkably intact amidst such battle and destruction...'
As he spoke, Yu's gaze flicked towards the ancient and mysterious monument behind Uchiha Fugaku.
It was the monument passed down through generations of the Uchiha Clan, with inscriptions that reveal more as one's Sharingan mastery advances. Yu hadn't expected that while the entire Naka Shrine lay in ruins, this monument remained untouched.
'Shisui, Itachi...'
'This is as far as I can help you...'
With a sigh, Yu looked down at the Uchiha Ninjas scattered around him in sorrow.
After this display of forceful deterrence, he believed that the Uchiha Clan wouldn't entertain thoughts of rebellion or seizing power in the short term.
"Take care of yourselves!"
Withdrawing his gaze, Yu didn't spare another glance at the Uchiha Ninjas strewn across the ground, quickly disappearing into the air.
"Damn it..."
Seeing Yu depart, all the Uchiha Ninjas lying on the ground clenched their fists tightly.
The prestigious Uchiha, the foremost family in the ninja world, had been defeated and subdued by a teenager single-handedly. For these Uchiha Ninjas, who usually held themselves in high regard, this defeat was undoubtedly more painful than death itself.
"We've failed, utterly failed..."
"We have no more chances. What will become of the future of the Uchiha Clan?"
Only Uchiha Fugaku, lying on the ground nearby, widened his eyes in confusion. The power demonstrated by Yu had completely shattered his confidence.
Their entire Uchiha Clan couldn't even overcome the mountain that was Scarlet Yu. How could they possibly succeed in a coup to seize control of all of Konoha?
"Father!!"
"Fugaku-sama!!"
At that moment, two voices of astonishment. Shisui and Itachi, the two youths, had finally arrived.
"What... has happened to everyone..."
After hurrying to the scene and seeing the entire Naka Shrine reduced to rubble before them, along with the Uchiha Ninjas lying scattered around, Shisui and Itachi both wore expressions of shock.
From the moment Yu left until their arrival, all the ninjas of the Uchiha Clan had been defeated by that young man in such a short span of time.
"We're sorry we're late..."
Meanwhile, Itachi hurriedly went to help his father, Uchiha Fugaku, up from the ground. Seeing his father injured like this, Itachi felt a mix of struggle and guilt in his heart.
From the perspective of being an Uchiha Ninja, he should unconditionally stand with his family. However, considering the life and death of the entire Konoha, this son of the Uchiha Clan leader chose to join the Konoha ANBU directly under the Hokage, responsible for monitoring his own family.
"Why did Yakushi Yu do this?!"
With emotions of struggle and guilt intertwining, Itachi finally couldn't contain his anger anymore, his gaze shifting towards Shisui beside him. "Could it be that Hokage-sama and the Konoha Elders have truly decided to take action against the Uchiha Clan?!"
"No, judging from the injuries on Fugaku-sama and the others, Yu has already shown mercy."
Feeling Itachi's somewhat angry gaze beside him, Shisui shook his head silently, struggling light flashing in his crimson three-tomoe Sharingan. "He should be trying to intimidate the Uchiha Clan, making everyone give up the idea of launching a coup and seizing power."
"But... let me go find him and ask him directly!"
Swoosh!
With these words, amidst Itachi's and all the Uchiha Ninja's attentive gazes, Shisui vanished instantly from the spot.
...
Naka River.
After leaving Naka Shrine, Yu came alone to the cliff above the waterfall upstream of Naka River.
From here, looking down, one could even see the bustling village of Konoha in the distance, which made one's mood particularly comfortable.
Konoha, oh Konoha...
Listening to the roaring water beneath his feet and watching the lights begin to illuminate the distant village of Konoha, the place where he had lived for ten years since crossing over, Yu couldn't help but feel sentimental.
To be honest, his decision to intervene and suppress the Uchiha Clan's uprising and rebellion wasn't for the sake of Konoha, but rather to alter the fate of Shisui, who, in the anime, chose to end his life by the river here.
Following today's events, the Uchiha Clan should recognize the gap in power and abandon the idea of staging a coup, thereby preventing the tragic fate of genocide as depicted in the anime.
"Since you've followed me here... why not come out?"
Lost in thought, Yu sensed the presence behind him with his Observation Haki, then spoke.
"Yu..."
A familiar voice sounded from behind, pulling Yu's scattered thoughts back.
Turning around abruptly, Yu found a young ninja with crimson eyes standing behind him, his gaze revealing a mix of emotions.
