Ryōsuke naturally felt the gazes of everyone present; it seemed they were all waiting for him to speak.
Since these three clans had refused the proposal to join the Konoha Military Police Force, the Uchiha Clan's gains from this operation would not be significant enough. After all, these three clans were famous for their loyalty and righteousness. However, he naturally had a way to make them obediently join.
Some things were even more important than loyalty.
Rather than following the Third Hokage, it would be better for these loyal individuals to follow behind his Uchiha Clan.
He slowly activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, and then revealed his Mangekyō Sharingan. The bright red Mangekyō Sharingan starred directly at Nara Shikaku.
The three Clan Heads were astonished. How could they not be afraid of such eyes? Those were eyes capable of wielding the terrifying power of Susanoo. Even if the three of them combined their strength, they might not necessarily be a match for him.
Or rather, they definitely wouldn't be.
Nara Shikaku's expression was extremely serious.
"The Uchiha Clan wouldn't attack us just because we refused, right?"
He was extremely worried in his heart. The other party had dared to take action against Consultant Elder Shimura Danzō, and even had Uchiha Fugaku kill him directly. It was clear that Ryōsuke was a lawless person.
There was a huge possibility that he would attack their three clans.
However, Ryōsuke smiled and said, "How is that possible? I just want Clan Head Nara to look at something."
Immediately, his eyes turned crimson, his pupil power surged, and he directly activated a genjutsu, forcing the other party to watch scenes of the future that he knew.
This would be enough to change the other party's mind. Having read the original work, he naturally knew that two of these three men would die in the future Fourth Great Ninja War.
As the genjutsu activated, Shikaku's mind spun, and in an instant, he arrived in a new world.
Before him stood a monster larger than a mountain, possessing ten tails and a gigantic single eye. It opened its massive mouth, rapidly condensed an energy ball, and fired it. The blast destroyed mountain after mountain, leaving a massive trench in the ground that stretched to the end of the horizon.
From this alone, one could see just how powerful this energy blast was.
Shikaku was shocked to his core. 'What on earth is this monster?'
The power of that energy bomb was likely even greater than that of the Nine-Tails, and the condensing time was far shorter than the Nine-Tails'. It was simply too terrifying.
During the Nine-Tails Rampage years ago, he had been fortunate enough to see the Nine-Tails condense a Tailed Beast Bomb like that. Fortunately, the Fourth Hokage used Space-Time Ninjutsu to transfer the bomb away; otherwise, the Leaf Village might have been mostly destroyed by that single move from the Nine-Tails.
He was extremely puzzled. 'Does such a monster actually exist?'
'If such a monster exists, why have I never heard of such power? Even the Ninja God, the First Hokage, would find it difficult to deal with such a monster, right?'
'Uchiha Ryōsuke... how exactly does he know these scenes?'
The scene shifted. A large group of ninja arrived not far from the giant beast. Looking at their clothes and forehead protectors, it was clear—they were ninja from various villages.
These people were divided into several large units, coordinating and launching attacks against this monster with a united heart.
They actually managed to control this colossal monster.
Shikaku felt excited, but also confused.
'Naturally, a monster like this requires the concentrated power of the ninja world to subjugate. With the Allied Shinobi Forces coordinating various ninjutsu, the power increases exponentially.'
He even saw someone among them who looked like his son, seemingly grown into an adult. Regarding his appearance, as his father, he knew it well; worthy of being father and son, they looked very similar.
At the same time, he was puzzled. 'Why would the five great ninja villages, which are full of contradictions, actually unite? This is truly unimaginable.'
It could be said that the relationship between these major villages was poor; after all, they had all been at war. Both sides had the blood of the other's ninja on their hands. Not to mention fighting to the death, it should be absolutely impossible for them to unite.
But on second thought, perhaps when facing such a monster... if the five great ninja villages did not unite, how could they destroy the enemy? This was a solution born of necessity.
Immediately, the scene shifted again. The monster controlled by the Allied Shinobi Forces actually broke free from control and drilled out.
It began firing red light bombs everywhere into the distance.
Each one was at a level that could destroy heaven and earth. The sky was filled with fire, flames raged, explosions were deafening, and mushroom clouds rose up.
His expression was extremely ugly. 'How is this possible?'
'Even the great ninja army cannot attack and control this monster?'
Moreover, every single shell from the monster was catastrophic. What was even more terrifying was that the enemy could fire such a shell every ten seconds. What kind of monster was this?
'Is this the future doomsday of the ninja world?'
At this moment, the scene shifted to the inside of a building. In the image, Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi were communicating. Inoichi seemed to be wearing a machine used to contact the alliance.
So, this building was likely the command center.
He hadn't expected that he would also join this war.
But right then, a red light bomb fired by the giant monster directly hit this location. Destruction of heaven and earth, soaring flames, a huge mushroom cloud, and a sea of fire.
His heart was shaken violently. Immediately following this was the image of his son crying, as well as a girl who looked like she might be a grown-up Ino, because they looked so alike.
'Will I die in the future?'
'Died at the hands of such a monster.'
At this moment, the images came to an abrupt halt.
The genjutsu ended, and he returned to reality.
His eyes were glazed over, and sweat was even dripping from his forehead. No one could remain calm after witnessing their own death.
And to die inside such a massive monster's attack.
With such a terrifying strike, he feared that neither he nor Yamanaka Inoichi would even have fragments of their corpses left behind. Wasn't that dying too miserably?
At this time, Akimichi Chōza and Yamanaka Inoichi left their positions and stood directly in front of Shikaku, looking at Uchiha Ryōsuke with anger in their hearts.
"What exactly did you do to Shikaku?"
They thought this young man had attacked Shikaku.
The Uchiha Clan's genjutsu was very terrifying, especially the Mangekyō Sharingan, which was even more dreadful, so Shikaku must not have been able to resist it.
He was controlled in an instant.
Facing these two men who were angry to the extreme, Ryōsuke merely said plainly, "I didn't do anything to him. I just invited him to watch some interesting scenes."
"Look, isn't he awake now?"
