Chapter 15: Super Hurricane Barrage, Uchiha Clan Annihilation

The second-year curriculum wasn’t much different from the first year’s. Academic classes remained the same core subjects, just more challenging. Afternoons no longer included physical education, and no students had been expelled yet—all had successfully extracted chakra. Most would now endure six years of training, either emerging as genin recognized by jonin for elite village cultivation or joining other departments as fresh recruits. The odds of wasting six years only to revert to ordinary life were extremely low.

The next five years would focus on teaching espionage and assassination skills. These classes held no challenge for Izayoi, who found them bordering on tedious. After mere days, he abandoned his initial plan to attend in person, delegating a Shadow Clone to handle lectures while he stayed home training.

Though he couldn’t practice elemental release at home, he could experiment with jutsu development. While most techniques required mastery of chakra nature transformation or shape manipulation, Izayoi knew one exception: the Fourth Hokage’s Rasengan. Inspired by the Tailed Beast Ball, this A-rank, attributeless, hand-seal-free technique took years to develop. As the signature jutsu of Naruto Uzumaki, its three-stage training method was legendary. Anyone who loved Naruto remembered the water balloon, rubber ball, and final no-handed stage vividly.

But Izayoi’s goal wasn’t to replicate the Rasengan—itself a Konoha treasure tied to the Fourth Hokage, his teacher, and students. If he suddenly used it, the village’s higher-ups would take notice. Without explanation, suspicions would arise. Instead, he aimed to build upon it, creating a new seal-less technique: the Super Hurricane Barrage.

This technique, known in the TV anime as the Multi-Size Big Ball of Great Wind, was Ashura Otsutsuki’s trump card against Indra Otsutsuki—akin to Naruto’s Planetary Rasengan. It involved forming a massive energy sphere, then embedding five smaller rotating spheres inside. Like the Windmill Chakra Palm, it could be launched for devastating sixfold explosions. If shattered mid-air, the smaller spheres would scatter, striking enemies from multiple angles. By channeling elemental chakra into it—akin to Naruto’s attribute-infused Rasengans or the Third Hokage’s Five Elements Great Combo Technique—its power could surpass even cataclysmic limits.

Without his Otsutsuki Bloodline (Crimson) granting seal-less proficiency, or his All Chakra Natures Affinity (Violet) paired with his upgraded violet-tier chakra control, Izayoi wouldn’t dare attempt such a feat. With these advantages, however, he mastered the Rasengan in a week. Next, he needed to channel chakra to expand the sphere to basketball size without detonating it—an unstable but necessary step toward forming miniature spheres within.

This phase required leaving home. One misstep could destroy his house. Patiently, he waited for May 15th—the day the Uchiha Clan would fall.

By afternoon, students typically attended two or three classes before a survival exercise weeks later. Even with special lessons, school ended around 5 PM. But on this day, second-year class 1 unusually held four afternoon sessions. The final survival exercise dragged until sunset.

The Uchiha Clan Compound, nestled near the Naha River, felt as remote as the countryside. Without Body Flicker Technique, Uchiha Sasuke wouldn’t return home until nightfall. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky blood-red, Izayoi’s Shadow Clone watched Sasuke’s retreating back—a carefree boy unaware of the coming storm.

After tonight, this Sasuke—the one who shrugged off academics and aloofness—would vanish. In his place would rise a cold, vengeance-driven youth, obsessed with clan honor and grades, his emotions volatile, his defenses fragile. Though pitiable, Izayoi welcomed this transformation. He’d waited a year for it.

The next morning, Konoha erupted with news that spread across the shinobi world: the Uchiha, Konoha’s first family and heirs of the Kekkei Genkai famed for one-on-one invincibility, eye replication, and genjutsu, had been wiped out. Their executioner? Thirteen-year-old Uchiha Itachi—the clan head’s eldest son.

His name became infamous overnight, the youngest S-class missing ninja in history. Izayoi left his house to hear villagers murmuring. This eclipse of the Uchiha rivaled the Fourth Hokage’s death during the Nine-Tails’ Rampage in scale. Konoha, already weakened by losses of leaders and elites, now teetered at its weakest point in history. Gone were the days of multiple Kage-level warriors and the “Strongest Village” title—only the elderly Third Hokage remained.

After the Nine-Tails’ attack, Cloud Village had schemed against Konoha. Now, with its premier clan fallen, enemies should’ve swarmed. Yet for years, Konoha remained eerily calm. The other villages had clearly sensed something amiss.
