Chapter 214 - The Uchiha Clan Challenge 02.
[Chapter Size: 2200 Words.]
Third Person POV
Konoha, Year 41.
...
...
The atmosphere instantly grew tense as all those Sharingans—most of them belonging to older ninjas, including both the elders and the most powerful members of the clan—glared at them with anger.
Minato felt Mikoto's hand on his at that moment. She squeezed it tightly, a silent signal that they were in this together, no matter how many ninjas stood against them.
"Arrogant boy! And you, girl, you were once a talented Uchiha. You should be with us, not standing beside someone without a clan, an outsider!" one of the elders growled, clearly disapproving of the situation.
"Remember that this same boy, whom you call 'clanless'..." Mikoto spoke, forcing the elder to meet her gaze as both of her activated Sharingan eyes bore into him. "...made a name for himself in the war and became one of Konoha's most powerful ninjas at such a young age. I bet that at his age, you hadn't accomplished anything relevant, and your strength doesn't even come close to his." She spoke with an arrogant tone.
Even without belonging to a noble clan, Minato had earned respect and admiration for his achievements. Mikoto took a step forward, facing the Uchihas around her and declaring firmly, "After all, was there any Uchiha who stood out in the war as much as he did?"
"How dare you, you...?!" one of the Uchiha jounins immediately shouted, but he couldn't even finish his sentence, ready to curse Mikoto.
Suddenly, an intense light flashed between them. The Uchiha barely had time to react before feeling a powerful kick strike his face, sending him flying. The other ninjas around him instinctively stepped back, their eyes widening in shock as the Uchiha hit the ground, unconscious.
"Insult her in front of me again, and I'll start beating every single one of you." Minato landed on the ground, his sharp gaze scanning the crowd. The Uchihas roared in fury, feeling humiliated by his actions.
"Don't let him get so full of himself!" one of the ninjas shouted, losing his patience. Minato had already attacked, and now there was no avoiding the fight between him and Fugaku. "Attack!!"
In an instant, several jounins lunged at Minato from all directions, not thinking twice.
Minato, seeing this, only smiled. He made a subtle hand signal, and Mikoto immediately understood what he was about to do. She quickly prepared herself, waiting for him to begin the seals.
The ninjas came from every direction, surrounding Minato, but he didn't even look into their eyes. He knew that facing so many Sharingans head-on could trap him in a genjutsu. Instead, he began weaving numerous hand seals at a speed so fast that no one could even see them.
Then, without hesitation, he completed his jutsu. In the next instant, his body shone like a fluorescent lamp.
"Light Release: Flash Explosion!!!" Minato finished his jutsu.
The flash was so intense that, in the very next moment, countless screams echoed across the battlefield. The Uchihas recoiled, hit directly by the blinding light. Their Sharingans, highly sensitive, amplified the impact of the brightness, leaving them momentarily blinded. Minato glanced around at the countless people turning their faces away, even seeing their once-red eyes dilated into a pale white from the overwhelming exposure to his jutsu.
"My eyes!!"
"I can't see!"
"Quickly, get back!"
Taking advantage of the confusion, Minato didn't waste a second. Turning into a streak of light, he dashed forward, striking the ninjas one by one, moving across the battlefield at absurd speeds as he kicked and punched them.
One after another, the Uchihas fell to the ground, unable to comprehend where the attacks were coming from.
Mikoto slowly opened her eyes. She had closed them at the right moment, following Minato's instructions, knowing exactly what he would do.
Before her, the battlefield was filled with Uchihas lying on the ground, still struggling to regain their sight. The chaos had escalated quickly, and Minato wasn't about to give them a chance to recover.
He had already made his decision.
If they refused to talk and only wanted to insult them, then he would deal with it in the most direct way possible.
This was a jutsu Minato had used before at the Earth Village's encampment, when they launched an attack alongside the Sand Village on both sides of the Western Border. He had launched his counterattack alone, beginning with this very jutsu to catch the enemy off guard. And for the second time, it had proven to be highly effective.
On that occasion, Minato had arrived at the entire enemy camp and taken them down one by one. Now, against the Sharingan, it was even more effective. Like any other dōjutsu, light was the fastest thing in existence. The Sharingan could predict physical movements and anticipate them, but it could not see the future.
The light jutsu had put them at a huge disadvantage since the entire clan had been affected by looking directly at Minato in that moment, trying to anticipate his movements.
Mikoto watched as he moved swiftly, continuing to kick and punch all the Uchihas in the area. In the next instant, Minato stopped. All of his opponents collapsed to the ground, dazed.
He had just defeated forty Uchiha clan ninjas. But they weren't just ordinary ninjas. The clan may have had a much larger number of members, but the most powerful ones, including the elders and the leader, had been defeated in this way.
Mikoto remained stunned. Even the ninjas watching from a distance were shocked by what they had just witnessed.
Then, Minato created a multitude of clones, who began gathering the fallen bodies, piling them together before tying them up. The rest of the clan, watching the scene unfold, fell into a panic and quickly began approaching.
At that moment, Mizu Uchiha, Mikoto's father, managed to regain consciousness alongside the elders.
They all awakened, still disoriented, and found themselves surrounded by a crowd of Uchihas who had arrived, encircling Minato along with the "hostages." They were tied up, looking at Minato and Mikoto in shock, both standing in front of them.
"Well, you've finally woken up," Minato spoke calmly, observing the confusion on their faces.
"Everything happened so fast that no one even really knows what just happened, do they?" He gave a slight smile and paused before continuing.
"Seems like my fight against Fugaku never happened. Instead, I had to fight all of you. Well... and as you can see, you all lost. Kind of disappointing, don't you think?" Minato mocked, looking at the forty ninjas who were now awake, still struggling to grasp the situation.
"You...!" One of the Uchihas tried to speak, but Minato interrupted him.
"I would be careful with what you say." He smiled coldly. "After all, every single one of your bodies is covered in explosive tags that I placed. At any moment, I could simply decide to detonate them all on my command. Kaboom! The entire elite of the Uchiha clan would vanish."
Silence took over the area at such a threat.
No one could believe what they were hearing. When that boy had walked in, no one had imagined the situation would end like this.
The ninjas surrounding the scene were in shock. They had just watched their clan's leaders, their guards, and even their greatest prodigies fall one by one in an instant, after that blinding flash that might have caught the entire village's attention.
Quickly, they called upon the entire clan, and now more than four hundred Uchiha ninjas surrounded the area. However, Minato remained calm, arms crossed, while keeping all those he had defeated as hostages.
Even Mikoto couldn't believe it. She had seen many incredible abilities from Minato before, but witnessing this was shocking, even for her.
"What do you want?" One of the elders finally broke the silence.
"Now you want to talk?" Minato raised an eyebrow. "Well... but isn't it a little too late for that?"
He looked directly at the elder, who seemed frustrated. Many of the ninjas there didn't even have the courage to look him in the eye, feeling immense shame.
But in the end, he continued. "I came here to establish a fact." He declared, his voice echoing through the silence of the clan. "Mikoto will be part of my Namikaze clan. She will be my wife. And I expect you all to respect that."
"You think we can just let our genetics be spread around like that?" one of the elders spoke, activating his Sharingan again and glaring at Minato.
He attempted to trap him in a genjutsu, but Minato quickly released a pulse of chakra before he could be affected, anticipating it with his Observation Haki.
"Well, I think you really shouldn't have done that." Minato said calmly.
In the next instant, he pointed his finger. It glowed, and in the blink of an eye, a beam of light shot through the elder's head.
The elder fell to the ground, dead, as the beam of light left a small hole in the earth where it had struck—but it did not explode.
Silence took over the area.
Everyone's eyes widened in shock.
"It seems you didn't understand..." Minato spoke, his voice laced with coldness. "I know very well that your intention was to kill Mikoto and me. That's why I won't hesitate to kill every single one of you here and now. After all, if we don't resolve this now, I will simply destroy you."
The impact of Minato's words reverberated through the clan. Everyone was stunned. Who could have imagined that this boy would actually kill an elder in the middle of the Uchiha clan? The body lay there, lifeless, like an animal slaughtered before them.
"You... You killed him..." One of the Uchihas murmured, still unable to believe what had just happened.
"Yes, I'm serious." Minato confirmed, his gaze cold and unwavering. "I knew you wouldn't stop, so I decided to put an end to this. If necessary, I will do the same to anyone else who tries to attack us."
Even with hundreds of Uchihas surrounding him, no one dared to move. And those who could actually retaliate were bound, helpless, unable to act.
Minato then approached his father-in-law, Mizu Uchiha, and crouched before him.
"Well, I'm giving you this choice." He spoke calmly, but his expression was serious. "If your elders want to kill Mikoto, I won't hesitate to protect her. Even if it means killing all of you. Do you understand that?"
Mizu Uchiha remained silent for a moment before finally responding, his voice filled with frustration. "Yes..."
At that instant, he seemed to have lost all his pride. His voice carried the weight of defeat and humiliation. How had a single boy defeated all of them in an instant? How had the Uchiha clan fallen to such a point?
Minato had just committed murder inside the village, but not only that—he had single-handedly dominated the entire elite of the Uchiha clan in just a few seconds, catching them all off guard.
The Uchiha clan could be proud, but they were not fools. They knew they had to respect such power.
"I want your word." Minato continued. "Mikoto will not face any retaliation. Tell me now, or I will weaken the Uchiha clan to such an extent that it will take decades for you to recover your strength. Is that what you want?"
The elders remained silent. Their pride made it difficult to submit, but fear and self-preservation were stronger. They finally understood that they were facing a monster.
"Do I have your word?" Minato asked again.
Silence remained.
He sighed, already preparing to act again when he finally heard the response.
"Alright... You have our word." Mizu Uchiha spoke, defeated. "We will not seek retaliation against my daughter."
In the end, the clan patriarch had no other choice. What else could they do? They were completely at the mercy of the boy.
Minato smiled slightly and then looked at Mikoto. "Did you hear that, Mikoto? It looks like everything has been settled."
He then turned to Fugaku, who had been watching everything with a gaze filled with conflicting emotions.
"I suppose I don't even need to fight you anymore, do I, Fugaku?"
Fugaku remained silent. There was no pride left in his eyes, only the bitter acceptance of reality.
Minato then paused, staring at all the Uchihas present.
"I have no intention of getting involved in clan matters any further." He declared. However, his voice grew more serious as he added,
"But if there is any attack against Mikoto or anyone I care about, and there is an Uchiha involved or even remotely connected to it... I will know it was you."
The warning was clear.
No one responded, but everyone understood the message.
Minato then flashed a small smile and looked at Mikoto.
"Well, I think we're done here. Let's go."
The girl, still stunned by everything that had happened, only nodded.
She couldn't believe it had all ended in an instant.
Minato had actually killed an elder without hesitation, and this moment would forever mark the history of the Uchiha clan.
