...
Just then, Hiromi became somewhat excited.
"It's finally starting!"
A trace of orange flame emerged from his body.
The next second.
Boom!
Like a volcanic eruption, everything in the house was destroyed.
"What's wrong!"
"What happened!"
"This is Hiromi's house!"
"Where is Hiromi! He wouldn't..."
Countless clan members ran out, looking at the huge pillar of fire shooting into the sky, feeling the high temperature and scorching heat in the air, unable to help but gulp, shocked by the scene before them.
"What... is this..."
"Chakra... there's someone inside!"
"Someone inside?!"
Countless Sharingan opened, emitting a creepy red light in the dark night. Hundreds of pairs of Sharingan stared tightly at the orange fire pillar, their expressions tense, cold sweat dripping down their cheeks, only to be quickly evaporated.
"What on earth is going on..."
All the clan members were very uneasy.
—
Center of the Uchiha Clan Compound.
"Clan head! Bad news! Hiromi's house has been destroyed!" A clan member ran over hurriedly.
Shisui's expression was very calm, he had already seen it. The orange fire pillar shooting into the sky lit up the surroundings, bright and blinding, like a huge torch, intending to illuminate the entire Uchiha Clan Compound.
That was... Hiromi's Chakra.
He suddenly remembered two sentences from Hiromi.
"I hope that when the time comes, you can stand behind me."
"It's just a Sharingan. Without eyes, I will still be a strong person."
"Still be a strong person, huh..." Shisui looked at the orange fire pillar and revealed a smile.
"Let's go." Shisui smiled and walked out of his house.
This time, it wasn't just one or two steps. This shocked the surrounding Anbu immensely.
Shisui, who had been like a prisoner for nearly a year, had actually stepped outside and it wasn't just one or two steps. This was a monumental event.
Coupled with the terrifying orange pillar of fire behind him...
They hurriedly sprang into action.
"Report to Hokage-sama immediately!"
The Uchiha... No! Konoha is about to change!
—
The village was summoning its ninjas.
In the dead of night, many ninjas were hurriedly dressing, equipping their weapons, and preparing to leave to respond to the summons.
But the orange pillar of fire in the Uchiha Clan Compound that seemed to support the sky—every one of them noticed it without exception.
Even from half a village away, they could faintly feel the air becoming scorching hot from that terrifying heat.
"This is..."
They felt somewhat uneasy, this unease was the same as when facing that red skeleton giant in the center of the village. For some reason, it felt as if they had seen that orange fire before.
It was as if a fear deeply engraved in their hearts was spreading, making them panic and lose their composure.
They clearly wanted to grab their weapons, but picked up their shoes instead. They clearly wanted to grab their masks, but picked up a mirror instead. These blunders happened one after another, making them even more uneasy.
They hurriedly left their homes and gathered at the Hokage Building. Their unease seemed to find a home. Gathered together, it transformed into even greater fear and anxiety.
Hiruzen, dressed in a black tight-fitting combat suit and wearing a hat with green tiered armored flaps on the sides, looked sharp, his gaze fixed on the terrifying pillar of fire reaching into the sky.
He had made up his mind, but failed to notice the unease of his subordinates behind him.
...
Uchiha Clan Compound.
On top of a house, a man in a long black coat wearing an orange one-eyed mask looked at the scorching flames, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"They've actually started descending into chaos on their own? Interesting."
"Hiromi is dead, so Shisui should go mad, and then... hehe."
At that moment, he saw the figure within the orange pillar of fire, and his eyes widened.
"How is this possible!"
He saw that Hiromi, who should have been dead, was actually still alive. Instead, it was Hiromi who had caused this scene.
At this moment, the man in the orange, one-eyed mask had only one thing to say: "Why the hell are you destroying your own house for no reason!"
If Hiromi knew, he would probably answer like this: "The atmosphere was right, so I burned down my house to liven things up for everyone?"
The sky-high orange pillar of fire gradually retracted, condensing onto a young boy, burning quietly as if it were a fire that wouldn't hurt anyone. But the high temperature radiating into the air kept reminding everyone of the terror of those flames.
Facing the master of these flames, everyone couldn't help but feel fearful.
However, the surrounding Uchiha Clan Members, seeing that it was this young boy, all breathed a sigh of relief first.
It was good that Hiromi was okay.
But the next second, they realized something.
"Hiromi... you... you..."
"What are you..."
The clan members stared at Hiromi with dry throats.
They didn't know why Hiromi had suddenly done this, burning down his own house. But they could tell that Hiromi was a bit irritable right now, so it was best not to approach him.
