All Robert clan member lives together in a small village. This village has more than 10,000 people. At the center of the village there was the Mansion of Robert clan Patriarch.
" What do you think about the Purcell clan and Miller clan crisis? Recently one entire clan was annihilated and another clan just lost it's 9th rank expert." A man with long black hair asked. He was the Patriarch of Robert clan.
" I think some foreign force are trying to weaken the Purple Star empire from inside." old man spoke. He was the elder of the Robert clan and a 9th rank expert.
Robert clan was currently holding a clan meeting. All elders and 9th rank experts was present. They were holding the meeting in a underground room. A large table was placed and all the elders was sitting on both sides.
" I heard that Zero of Akatsuki wants to challenge all the 9th rank experts in this continent." One of the elder said.
" Nonsense! He better not mess with our Robert clan otherwise death will be his only destination." One of 9th rank experts said arrogantly.
" Maybe be the Akatsuki was responsible for the annihilation of Miller clan. This is just guess but according to Zero's words he was only a member of Akatsuki." The Patriarch of Robert clan suspected.
" Your guess might be correct. We basically have no clue about the culprit. It's almost as if everything about the Miller's just vanished in thin air." Another elder reported.
" If the Akatsuki really plans on weakening the Purple Star empire then there is high possibility that Akatsuki will come after the Robert clan as well." Everyone felt into silence by these words.
" We don't have a clue about the power level of the Akatsuki. To able to slaughter the whole Miller clan in such small amount of time shows that the Akatsuki is extremely strong. We should prepare for a big fight and inform his majesty as well as the other two great clans." Patriarch ordered.
...
The shadow of Ash already had tracked the main under meeting area of Robert clan. Ash teleported above the given location. Ash than scanned everything with his Tenseigan.
" A meeting.... Hmmmm... A perfect place for a grand entry." Ash again disappeared from his position.
.....
" What should we do about the Miller clan territory?" one of the elder asked.
" I was planning on.... Boom! The patriarch of Robert was interrupted with a wall breaking sound.
" Who dares to attack our Robert clan?" The Patriarch shouted. He and others elders got ready to fight.
" Patriarch, we are surrounded by 9th rank experts." One of the 9th rank elder shouted anxiously.
Robert clan Patriarch face turned ugly.
After dust settled, everyone saw a man wearing black cloak with red clouds. He was wearing a mask that covered his face but a pale blue iris with dark blue pupil. The pupil is outlined by a white floral pattern, most likely resembling a lotus.
Everyone immediately knew who he was. "Zero of the Akatsuki."
Everyone was surrounded by shadows. Six 9th rank shadows was more than enough to crush the entire Robert clan. Many elders shivered when they saw this secne.
" Why target us? We are not your enemy." The patriarch of Robert clan tired to make peace with his sweet words.
He knew that they stood no chance of winning against the Akatsuki. 'Once we survive this, I will return this humiliation.'
" Let's just a say that your clan destruction is necessary for our organization to grow. Also we are here for revenge. Beru kill everyone." Ash words made everyone panic.
" Everyone don't try to fight.....ah!" The patriarch was about to say something when suddenly someone stabbed back.
" Do you still remember me? I am Ash Anderson. Your clan will pay for what you did." Ash whispered in his ear.
The Robert clan Patriarch face was full of fear and regret. In the end Ash mercilessly separated his head from his body.
" Patriarch!" One of the 9th rank expert shouted.
Bang!
Just within few minutes all the elders and three 9th rank experts was killed by the Shadows. Beru and others easily overpowered everyone. Even the 9th rank experts found it very hard to land any attack on the Shadows.
" Arise!" Ash then turned everyone into his shadows. Ash now had nine 9th rank shadows.
" Beru, kill every mage and warrior from Robert clan."
" As you wish." Beru lead other 9th rank experts to slaughter the Robert clan mage and warriors.
Ash made a few clones of himself and made them go to loot everything in treasury. Robert clan was a hundred years old clan. Ash was sure that Robert clan would be very rich.
" Alan! Ah!" The shadows mercilessly slaughtered every Robert clan's mages and warriors. Few of the Robert clan members managed to live longer because they were outside, traveling.
Since, the Miller clan destruction, the Robert clan patriarch had ordered his clan members to return. Expect few, all mages and warriors of Robert clan was killed and turned into shadows.
Ash didn't show any mercy to the Robert clan. When Ash' father died, the Robert clan was responsible for killing more than 100 Anderson clan members. Ash always have been holding the pain of losing his clan members.
Ash then took every valuable resources from Robert clan. Like crops, gold coins, Battle Qi practice techniques, books of spells, swords, daggers, Bow, everything.
Everything happened within a single night. The night darkness prevented outsider from noticing any changes in Robert clan. The shadows took full advantage of the darkness.
Before morning, Ash and his shadows left the Robert clan mansion.
Ash didn't feel any happiness or satisfaction after slaughtering the Robert clan. Instead it pained his heart even more when he remembered how the dead bodies of his clan members was laying.
Ash sent Beru and others to Carrion Swamp to continue hunting. This time Ash had more than 20,000 shadows and nine 9th rank shadows.
Ash then detoxified another 50 acres of land and made trees using his wood release. Now the surrounding area of Iron mountain was covered in greenery.
After killing Robert clan, Ash realized that he needs to go outside of Purple Star empire. Ash always wanted to travel and explore new places. Since he had teleportation jutsu he can always come back anytime, anywhere.
...
"What! The Robert clan....." The king of Purple Star empire was completely shocked. He never expected that Robert clan would also suffer the same fate as Miller clan.
He was even more worried. 'Who could have the power to annihilate an entire clan who has three 9th rank experts. Not to mention the fact they just did this all within a single night. Every valuable resources of the Clan was also taken away.'
Purple Star emperor didn't whether he should feel happy or worried. The four major clan was something that was always pressing the king. The king had no way of gaining absolute authority because of their presence. But now that 2 major clan was completely destroyed he could take both clans territory into his control.
But the worried part is that someone is definitely targeting the major pillers of Purple Star empire. The whole empire was dependent on the four major clans.
' Who could have the power to kill three 9th rank experts in one night? Is it a foreign force? Or is it someone from two remaining old clans.' The king was very worried about this matter.
