Chapter 119: New System

"Clan Leader, the meeting is ready."

"Yeah."

Hisaku Uchiha scanned the hall. Everyone was present, except for Fugaku and Mikoto.

He frowned slightly. Usually, they should have been seated.

"I'll go check."

Hisaku Uchiha pushed open the half - ajar door. In the fading night, he saw Mikoto bathed in the moonlight, and those eyes.

Eerie and evil.

As if they were going to suck his soul in.

How quiet it is.

Hisaku Uchiha suddenly sighed.

His mind grew more and more hazy.

"Father."

Fugaku, whom he had ignored, shouted at him.

He came to his senses.

"Fugaku, you two..."

Hisaku Uchiha sized them up, especially Mikoto's eyes.

He could feel it was the same Force as the Sharingan, yet more powerful and shocking.

"Father, don't say a word. Just watch."

Fugaku shook his head and stood side by side with Hisaku Uchiha.

And Mikoto walked into the shrine.

The coldness, like a low - pressure system, instantly filled the hall.

Everyone felt as if a huge rock was pressing on them.

"What's going on?!"

The people sitting there looked up in surprise.

Those who had seats were basically at the Jonin level, but at this moment, they felt completely insecure, like sheep.

Mikoto was like a lion breaking into a flock of sheep.

"Mikoto!"

The Elder in the middle stood up, surprised and gloomy. "What are you doing?"

"I'm here to see you off, Elder."

Mikoto looked at him calmly.

"You..."

The Elder's body suddenly trembled. These eyes made him feel as if he was in an ice cave.

How is it possible?

Under the strong pressure, Three-Tomoe automatically appeared in his eyes.

But the next second, the Elder showed a pained expression.

He felt an iron hand formed by Chakra mercilessly grab his neck.

And what terrified him the most was that he couldn't resist at all.

His proud Sharingan shrank back as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

Suffocation.

The Elder couldn't breathe.

His blood - shot eyes stared at Mikoto standing there.

She didn't do anything.

That pretty face, which usually always wore a warm smile, was now cold and expressionless.

This feeling was like a rabbit with blood - shot eyes turning into a monster.

"What are you doing?!"

"Let go of the Elder quickly!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

As the representative of the radical faction, the Elder had many followers on weekdays. After being stunned for a short while, they started shouting.

Some even formed Hand Seal and unleashed Ninjutsu right inside the shrine.

A huge fireball suddenly appeared in front of Mikoto like a flash of lightning.

Mikoto didn't move at all, and the fireball passed through her body.

Several people around immediately stared wide - eyed, unable to believe it.

"Genjutsu?"

The Ninja who spoke formed Hand Seal again, and a dozen or so fireballs came barreling towards Mikoto all at once, but just like before, they passed straight through.

It was as if Mikoto was a non - existent ghost.

Mikoto snapped her fingers.

The Elder, who had been tortured for a long time, had his cervical vertebra completely broken.

The moment the excruciating pain hit, he lost consciousness and his life.

Blood sprayed onto the conference table.

Everyone was in a daze, as the scene before them exceeded their comprehension.

Why did Mikoto kill the Elder?

Why was she so powerful?

"Kill her!"

Suddenly, a roar echoed through the shrine.

The Uchiha Clan has always been unafraid of death.

All the ninjas from the radical faction rushed towards Mikoto.

Countless flames merged into a sea. It was as if a divine punishment was descending from the sky, exuding a terrifying killing intent that enveloped Mikoto.

But her figure in the wind remained unshaken.

A shocking glint burst forth in Mikoto's eyes.

Shurikens appeared out of thin air one after another, piercing through the layers of flames and flooding the hall in front of her.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Fugaku, standing at the door, supported the wall with his trembling hands.

It was a one - sided massacre.

His face turned pale. For the first time, he experienced the terrifying power of the Mangekyo Sharingan when used for killing.

"What is this? What is this?"

Hisaku Uchiha stood there, stunned. He had experienced all kinds of battles in his life, but he had never felt such strangeness and powerlessness as he did today, which filled him with a sense of panic from the bottom of his heart.

He looked at his daughter - in - law, feeling completely unfamiliar with her.

Was this really Mikoto?

She was emanating a terrifying aura all over.

With just a casual move, she wiped out the radical faction.

But then he was startled, as the dead ninjas revived again.

Genjutsu?

...

Haruki looked at Kushina, who was covering her eyes.

There was a curious look in the gap between her fingers.

It reminded Haruki of his experience of watching horror movies in his previous life: scared but still wanting to watch.

But both he and Kushina were outside the Genjutsu.

In fact, they couldn't see the bloodshed that was happening inside at all.

In Haruki's perception, except for a few people who had stopped breathing, the rest were all standing still, motionless.

He wondered what would happen to them. Could it be another class?

But learning wasn't useful for everyone.

Especially for the Uchiha Clan.

Many of them were extremely extreme.

"Kushina, if you want to look, just look."

Haruki couldn't stand Kushina's cute in a shy and timid way appearance any longer.

"But Mikoto doesn't let me look."

Kushina said that, but she actually removed her hands.

Oh!

Her eyes were darting around, observing everything.

But then she found nothing.

Kushina was silent for two seconds, wondering what she had been doing just now.

How stupid!

Seeing this, Haruki smiled and said, "You can enter the shrine."

Kushina hesitated for a moment. Unable to hold back her curiosity, she stepped onto the stone steps.

Haruki followed behind her.

Soon they saw Hisaku Uchiha and Fugaku Uchiha.

They seemed to have just woken up from a dream, looking dazed and extremely dejected.

Haruki's eyes quickly passed over them and landed on the hall of the shrine.

Surprisingly clean.

Only nine people had lost their lives forever.

The rest were gasping for air, and in the dim light, their eyes still showed fear.

In the meeting of glances, Mikoto stood silently.

"Mikoto?"

Kushina's voice broke the silence.

"I'm fine."

Mikoto came to her senses, turned to look at Kushina and Haruki, and a gentle smile appeared on her face again.

It seemed as if what had happened earlier was just an illusion.

But none of the Uchiha Clan members present dared to regard it as an illusion.

No, it would be better if it really were an illusion.

But unfortunately, it was reality.

"Mikoto, what are you going to do?"

Haruki looked around at the Uchiha Clan members with a smile. Their expressions were changeable, but most of them were shrouded in fear.

"I want to implement the system you mentioned, Teacher, in the Uchiha Clan."

Mikoto pondered slightly and then spoke.

She didn't pay attention to Hisaku Uchiha and Fugaku Uchiha who were walking over.

"The clan leader selection system of the Hyuga clan?"

"The other ninja system you mentioned."

Haruki was a bit surprised when he heard that.

He had once told Mikoto about two selection systems.

The system implemented in the Hyuga clan at that time was more like an upgraded and improved version of the Hokage selection system, but it also had its drawbacks.

The other one was basically quite perfect.

But the only thing to worry about was attracting the attention of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After all, if the proud Uchiha Clan suddenly did a 180 - degree turn in attitude, he wouldn't be Hiruzen Sarutobi if he didn't suspect something.

Moreover, there was also his Root organization led by Tanzo Shimura.
