Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 522: Ghost Feeding Training
Snap! Snap! Snap!

The sound of several footsteps landing could be heard.
A team of six people landed in the courtyard. They were all wearing the combat uniforms of the Uchiha clan, with long swords on their waists.
The team was led by two Uchiha with thin cheeks, deep eye sockets, heavy dark circles under their eyes, and a long scarf with the Uchiha clan emblem tied under their shoulders. Behind them were Uchiha Yusuke, Yuto, and two other Uchiha members whom they had met in front of the dungeon before.

Ignoring the call, the team changed course and headed towards Uchiha Yusuke who came here. Uchiha Ci set his sights on the two people leading the team.
To be precise, it fell on the long scarf with the clan emblem printed on it tied around the other person's arm.

This long scarf is also tied on Uchiha Naga's shoulders, which seems to be a symbol of identity.

Combined with the cold aura emanating from these two people, which was very different from that of ordinary Uchiha clan members,
perhaps,

Are these two the 'captains' that Uchiha Ci has always heard of but never seen since he came here?
According to Uchiha Hikaru, "Captain" does not refer to a person, but a level, a group -

It’s all the Uchiha who have opened the Mangekyō Sharingan!

Looking at the two people with sunken eye sockets in front of him, Uchiha Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, "You, are the captains?"

"You traitor! How dare you speak to the captain in such a tone!"

Seeing that Uchiha Ci not only appeared at Uchiha Naga's residence, but also looked like he didn't care at all, Uchiha Yusuke behind the two captains was furious and was about to yell at him.

"You bastard!"

"Yusuke!" The leading captain coldly stopped Uchiha Yusuke from cursing.
He turned and looked coldly at Uchiha Ci, paused, frowned, and asked,
"Uchiha Ci, don't you have anything to say?"

"Confess?" Uchiha Ci was stunned by the other party's words. Then, he remembered the scene when they tortured Uchiha Guang, imprisoned him, and tried to kill him. He sneered.

"You should be the ones to give me the explanation!"

Hearing this, the captain's face suddenly darkened, as if he had heard a joke, and he laughed angrily.

"Uchiha Ci,"

"You were able to survive in Qianyi Mountain because we exchanged more than a dozen lives for it!"

"It was our people who risked their lives to help you hold back the Thousand Hands Sect members!"

"According to the agreement before the war, you should stay at the place we arranged for you. Finally, impeach Uchiha Talon at the clan meeting held at night and let that beast step down!"

"But tell me, what are you doing now!?"

"He seriously injured the dungeon guard, escaped from the dungeon, and took away the secret weapon we prepared to defeat the Senju clan!"

"You even turned to Uchiha Naga, the beast who killed his father!"

"As expected, you are worthy of being called a traitor to Uchiha Talon? You didn't even hesitate for a second when it came to betraying us!"

The captain was extremely angry, revealing a pair of scarlet Sharingan with strange patterns, and the skin on his face twitched slightly hideously, staring coldly at Uchiha Ci.

"Your reckless decision has caused the order we have worked so hard to maintain to collapse in an instant!"

He suddenly pointed at the chaotic battle that broke out in the center of Kikyo City. It was like a scene of demons dancing wildly, and shouted coldly with gnashing teeth,
"Why, what else do you want us to explain to you!?"

"Say!"

This loud shout and the devil-like face immediately triggered some fearful memories in the heart of Uchiha Guang behind Uchiha Ci. She trembled all over and could not help but take a few steps back.

however,
Uchiha Ci was not frightened by the other party's momentum. He just frowned slightly and looked back at the other party, a little confused.
"You said, it was me who caused this civil war to break out?"

The captain didn't say anything, just closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Uchiha Yusuke behind him immediately showed a look of resentment, glared at Uchiha Ci, and shouted angrily,
"Is not it?!"

"It's all your fault for taking the weapons away!"

"Without weapons, facing the next battle and facing the [Demon Raising Training] formulated by the previous clan leader Uchiha Lei, we must send out clan members with Mangekyō Sharingan to become the sacrifice to win the war!"

"You have been a victim once, so you know it all too well, don't you? The feeling of being abandoned, the feeling of being isolated by everyone in the clan! Who would be willing to be a victim, who would want to end up like that? Will the person who becomes a victim be the next Uchiha Talon? When will this chaos end?!"

At the end, Uchiha Yusuke seemed to have all the strength drained out of him, and could only mutter in a depressed tone,
“We are connected by loneliness,”

"In order to stop losing loved ones,"

"I had to formulate this plan to delay the outbreak of the clan conflict, but your actions ruined it."

“Now, it’s all over.”

Facing the other party's accusation, Uchiha Ci couldn't help but let out a deep breath.

The captains' demands are simple. They just want to stay alive and protect their loved ones and companions.

Even though we know that they persecuted Uchiha Hikaru in order to save more of their people, and that their actions were to achieve another greater and more glorious goal,

Uchiha Ci still couldn't accept this method in his heart.

He keenly grasped the words in the other party's words that seemed to connect the two together, which seemed to be the root cause of Uchiha Ji's evasiveness.
Uchiha Ci immediately turned to look at Uchiha Zhizhi, frowned and asked,

"What is the [Demon Feeding Training] formulated by Uchiha Kaminari?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Jiji finally lowered his head and closed his eyes as if accepting his fate, and replied helplessly,

"That is the only way for the Uchiha clan to win."

"It was found by my father. It is the only way to replace the [Immortal Peach], raise evil spirits, and keep the Uchiha strong."

"That's right. It's the root cause of the current chaos that our clan is in!"

Without waiting for Uchiha Ci to ask in detail, Uchiha Zhizhi sighed and explained in a somewhat lost tone,
"A month ago, the former clan leader Uchiha Lei's left eye was on the verge of blindness. He could no longer easily revive a large number of clan members on the battlefield."

"But the war at that time could not be stopped, and it even intensified. With one clan against the entire ninja world, even our clan members with many Mangekyō Sharingan could not gain an overwhelming advantage. The ninja coalition also designed various ways to counter father's eye techniques and forbidden techniques, and the battle situation was very tense."

"That day, countless enthusiastic clan members gathered around the bed of the seriously ill former clan leader Uchiha Kaname, 'asking' for a way to bring the clan victory."

"Uchiha Rai had no choice but to lift the restrictions on the forbidden technique, Izanagi, within the clan and tell everyone the secret of Izanagi."

"On the same day, a method was developed to continue the Uchiha's victory, the [Demon Feeding Training]."

"In order to continue the victory, I will select a member of the clan who possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan as a backup to replace [Xiantao], and perform the forbidden technique Izanagi together with the clan leader Uchiha Rai."

"The plan was very successful, and a large number of our people were resurrected during that tragic war."

"After the war, the Uchiha clan achieved an unprecedented victory!"

"But on the other hand, as a caster of Izanagi, you will definitely lose the sight of one eye. For the clan, this price is acceptable, but as an individual, the price is too heavy to bear."

"Although they say it's for the sake of the clan, in fact, no matter who is assigned to be the caster of the forbidden technique, deep down in their hearts, they must be somewhat unwilling. In the Uchiha clan, losing an eye is equivalent to losing half of the combat power and the status that comes with combat ability. In its heyday, the Uchiha clan had thirty-seven pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan, but when this plan that allowed the clan to win continuously was implemented on a third person——"

"The accident finally happened."

Uchiha Ji's tone dropped, as if he was smiling bitterly.

"Everyone would think this: There are thirty-seven pairs of kaleidoscopes in the clan, but why is it me?"

"But the Uchiha clan, who were used to exchanging lives for lives, and used to constantly resurrecting and fighting under the leadership of Uchiha Kaminari, were extremely arrogant. They did not show due respect, awe and gratitude for the sacrifice of the second generation Izanagi caster. On the contrary, the Uchiha who was the caster could only look up to Uchiha Kaminari, the clan leader and cousin, in the quagmire."

"While looking up to him, he was promoted to an unprecedented high position by many clansmen and called himself the ruler of the ninja world. At the same time, he became his shadow and fell to the bottom."

"And that Uchiha was the father of the current clan leader, Uchiha Talisman. After seeing what happened to his father, Uchiha Talisman, who was chosen as the third generation of the forbidden jutsu Izanagi, secretly contacted the other Uchiha candidates and rebelled against clan leader Uchiha Rai during the last battle of Seni Mountain."

"When the forbidden technique Izanagi is not used on the battlefield, but in the fight between the same clan,"

"This civil strife caused the deaths of seventeen Mangekyō Sharingan owners. Uchiha Talisman defeated the blind Uchiha Rai with Izanagi. Uchiha Rai's son, Uchiha Naga, who conspired with him and was also selected as the fourth generation Izanagi user, killed his own father, Uchiha Rai."

"finally,"

"Uchiha Tale successfully ascended to the throne and became the new head of the Uchiha clan."

As Uchiha Jiji slowly recounted the history that everyone present had personally experienced,

The dusk on the horizon gradually disappears,

Accompanied by endless sparks, smoke and storms raging in various parts of the city,
"Until they experienced the pain firsthand, the various parties in the clan finally realized the danger of the forbidden technique, Izanagi, and the cruelty of the civil war caused by Izanagi. So, in order to curb this situation, they began to seek ways to save the clan."

"However."

"When the fairy peach disappears, the evil ghosts that have eaten the fairy peach will have no way out."

In the roar that quietly enters the night,
Uchiha Jiji sadly told the end of the story.

"then,"

"The Uchiha stepped into the night."
