Uchiha Tajima burst into wild laughter, his voice echoing through the chamber.
"Hahahahahahahaha! I want to thank his eight generations of ancestors!!! Hahahahahahahahahaha!"
The sheer joy in his voice made it seem as if he had just received the greatest gift of his life. His body shook from laughing too hard, and he struggled to breathe between fits of hysteria.
Uchiha Madara, who had been standing silently beside him, couldn't take it anymore. He stepped forward and grabbed his father by the shoulder, shaking him slightly.
"Father, stop laughing!"
Uchiha Tajima blinked at his son in confusion, his Sharingan eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Huh? What's the matter, my dear son?! How can you not laugh happily at such a good thing?! Son, you didn't do this, did you?!" His eyes widened with pride. "You are truly my excellent son!!! Hehehehehehehe!"
Uchiha Madara felt utterly helpless.
"Father! I didn't do this! And… and…"
Tajima frowned, sensing the hesitation in his son's voice.
"And what do you mean?!"
Madara exhaled deeply, his expression grim.
"Alas… Not only was the Senju clan exterminated, but so was our Uchiha clan!"
A heavy silence fell over the room.
Uchiha Izuna, who had just been resurrected, stiffened in shock. He had no idea about the fate of the Uchiha, and now, the truth hit him like a kunai to the heart.
Uchiha Tajima's pupils shrank.
"What… What did you say?!"
His entire body trembled with rage, his Sharingan flaring to life.
"You rebellious son!!! Is this how you became the clan leader?! What happened?! How did our Uchiha clan get exterminated?! Who did this?! I swear, I'm going to curse his eight generations of ancestors!!!"
On the other side, Senju Butsuma, who had been wallowing in despair over the loss of the Senju clan, suddenly felt a strange sense of balance in his heart.
So, the Uchiha were wiped out too?
He immediately turned to Tajima, his lips curling into a smirk.
"Hahahahahaha! I am dying of laughter! I never thought the Uchiha clan would be gone too! I don't know who was laughing so happily just now?! Why don't you laugh now, Uchiha Tajima?! Are you born not to laugh?! Hahahahahahaha!"
Tajima's face twisted in fury.
"Ahhhhh!!!!!! Senju Butsuma!!! I am going to kill you!!!"
"Heh! Who is afraid of whom?! Uchiha Tajima!!!"
"Senju Butsuma!!!"
"Uchiha Tajima!!!"
Souta Kazuki sighed deeply, feeling a massive headache forming. These two were worse than children. They had just learned that their clans were wiped out, yet they still found the energy to fight each other.
It was ridiculous.
Deciding that he couldn't deal with this nonsense any longer, Souta activated his system interface and exchanged for another golden summoning.
"Summoning Technique!"
As the summoning formation glowed brightly, the spiritual energy swirled in the air, slowly forming into a human figure.
Souta's eyes widened as he recognized the figure taking shape before him.
A green jumpsuit. A bowl-cut hairstyle. Eyebrows as thick as caterpillars.
Might Dai.
Souta was stunned.
This was the man who single-handedly kicked the Seven Ninja Swordsmen back into the Hidden Mist!
He had suspected it before, but now it was confirmed—the system wouldn't let him exploit a loophole. In its classification, Might Dai counted as Kage-level combat power, but only because of the Eight Inner Gates. That meant he could only be summoned using a golden summoning.
Might Dai slowly opened his eyes, looking around in confusion. The last thing he remembered was opening the Gate of Death to protect his son and his friends. But now…
Where was he?
Before he could fully grasp the situation, the passionate shouting in the distance caught his attention.
"Senju Butsuma!!!"
"Uchiha Tajima!!!"
"Senju Butsuma!!!"
"Uchiha Tajima!!!"
Might Dai's body trembled with excitement.
This… This is youth!!!
Without hesitation, he dashed forward at full speed, inserting himself between the two enraged ancestors. His eyes were burning with passion.
"This is youth!!!!"
Senju Butsuma and Uchiha Tajima both froze mid-shout, completely caught off guard by this sudden intrusion.
Who was this green-skinned lunatic?
Might Dai noticed the silence and felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head sheepishly.
"Hehe… Don't stop! Keep shouting! This is a battle of passionate youth! Youth must never be extinguished!"
Butsuma and Tajima ignored him completely, returning to their shouting match.
"Senju Butsuma!!!"
"Uchiha Tajima!!!"
"Senju Butsuma!!!"
"Uchiha Tajima!!!"
Might Dai's face glowed with admiration.
"This is youth!!!!"
Souta palmed his face.
The system was definitely doing this on purpose.
First, two ancient war maniacs. Now, a green-skinned youth fanatic. It was chaos, absolute chaos!
Still, Souta quickly noticed something new.
The system notification flashed in front of him.
[Congratulations! The host has successfully summoned Might Dai and obtained him as a summoned creature!][Drawing a random ability from the summoned individual…][Congratulations! The host has obtained the Eight Inner Gates!][The host has automatically learned the Eight Inner Gates!]
Souta felt a rush of power surge through his body. In an instant, he understood all the principles behind the Eight Gates. More importantly, thanks to his absurdly strong physique, he could likely open all eight gates without dying.
The thought alone sent shivers of excitement down his spine.
A complete-body Susano'o combined with the Eight Inner Gates…
That would be terrifying.
While Souta was lost in his thoughts, Uchiha Fugaku was drowning in despair.
He had spent six summoning attempts already.
That was 600 million ryo gone.
And yet… Mikoto Uchiha was still nowhere to be seen.
He clenched his fists as he watched Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina whisper sweet nothings to each other in the corner.
It was unbearable.
His heart ached.
"Mikoto!!!"
"Why haven't you come out yet?!!!"
"Come back soon—I can't bear this alone!!!"
"Wife!!!"
"I miss you!!!"
