Beneath the shelters.
At that moment, the civilians of Konoha, their eardrums ringing from the massive blast, curled up against the walls in terror, shivering with fear.
At the edge of the shelter.
Uchiha Yu's gaze was cold as he looked down at the scene unfolding on the street.
Behind him stood the entire Uchiha clan.
At the very moment the Sarutobi clan and the Third Hokage vanished completely from the shinobi world—
The pent-up emotions of the fleeing Uchiha, carried through years of exile, were finally released in full.
At that instant, under the intense stimulation of their emotions, nine Uchiha produced an even greater surge of Yin Release chakra in their minds, causing their ocular power to surge once more.
"Is this… finally over?"
Izumi covered her face and wept.
It was as if a great vengeance had been avenged—a cathartic relief.
"No… this is only the beginning."
Just as everyone was immersed in their own emotions, Uchiha Yu suddenly spoke.
He raised his head and looked toward the top of the inner wall.
There stood the reanimated Danzō Shimura, flanked by his clan's shinobi.
"Don't look directly into that man's eyes! Hurry and save the people!"
Danzō's old face twisted with gloom.
Recalling the humiliation of being ambushed and toyed with by Uchiha Yu, his anger surged, burning away his composure.
The Shimura clan shinobi sprinted into the inner wall's passageways, but Danzō soon noticed that Uchiha Yu remained rooted in place, making no move to stop them.
Tamao cried out in alarm.
The entire Uchiha clan lifted their heads.
Their expressions hardened.
They hadn't expected that even this troublesome man had been resurrected through Edo Tensei.
They instantly realized—
Konoha too had mastered Edo Tensei. No wonder their captain had said this was only the beginning!
"Damn that old bastard!" Nono's face darkened with fury. Activating her Byakugan, she swept the field ahead.
Forcing down her emotions, Nono relayed in full what she saw around Danzō.
In a darkened chamber, Tobirama's expression was as cold as stone. His full attention was locked on a scroll laid out before him.
It was the very report that the intelligence division had sent back, describing the details of Uchiha Yu's battle with the Zero-Tails.
Before long, he had already deduced a wealth of information from the brief stalemate between Uchiha Yu and the Zero-Tails, and from the details of how Susanoo ultimately absorbed the creature in its entirety.
Within the shinobi world, perhaps the one who understood the Uchiha clan best was not their own patriarch—but Senju Tobirama.
Moreover, as a master of forbidden arts, Tobirama was well aware of what the Zero-Tails truly was.
"So then… Uchiha Yu's method of manipulating others' minds can be disrupted by the powerful emotions those minds produce. I see."
Tobirama's eyes darkened, his face betraying no change as he muttered to himself.
He immediately began contemplating ways to counter this ocular technique, showing no satisfaction at having discovered the secret of Uchiha Yu's "Yasakani." To him, such discoveries were only natural.
"Sensei… Hiruzen has fallen."
Koharu Utatane hurriedly walked in from outside the door.
Her eyes shimmered with tears.
"Understood. The things I asked you to prepare—are they ready?"
Tobirama asked coldly.
As if Hiruzen Sarutobi's death was only natural, his words carried no emotion whatsoever.
Koharu replied sorrowfully.
With that, she watched Tobirama stride past her and head into the deeper levels of the dungeon.
There, countless prisoners were being held—more than 3,000 in total.
Some were condemned criminals.
Some had only committed minor offenses.
Some were already captives within Root's base, while others had been quietly transferred from Konoha's main prison nearby.
But none of that mattered anymore. At this moment, every single one of them was essentially sentenced to death.
Beneath the Hokage Rock.
At the shelter, Danzō Shimura held his breath, locked in a standoff with the Uchiha.
Soon, two members of the Shimura clan came running back in terror.
One of them spoke in grief:
"Lord Danzō, the Sarutobi clan, the Hyūga clan, the Shimura clan members… and the ordinary clansfolk of the others—are all dead."
Hearing this, Danzō's pupils shrank, his scalp tingled. Even for someone like him—an old fox who had long abandoned emotion—the terror of it all sank deep.
He had never imagined that before Konoha's ninja forces were annihilated on the frontlines, the rear itself would be wiped out.
All dead… How would Konoha explain this to the clans now?
"Brother, let me cut this bastard down. This time, I'll start with his head!"
Tamao glared angrily at Danzō. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel※fire.net
He activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, swung down the beheading blade, and prepared to strike.
Uchiha Yu spoke in a low voice: "Go."
Back then, during their first ambush on Danzō—even if they hadn't chosen to toy with him, but instead aimed straight for his head—they might not have been able to kill him.
Before his words faded—
At Yu's command, Uchiha Izumi, Minami, and Tamao all sneered, gripped their ninja blades, activated their Sharingan, and leapt at Danzō.
The rest of the Uchiha immediately followed.
In just the blink of an eye, Izumi and the other two were already before Danzō, their three blades slicing down at his head with unstoppable force.
Danzō's eyes widened.
He looked up at the ninja blades flashing down like lightning. The black dots reflected in his eyes grew larger and larger—he didn't even have time to react.
The speed of these Uchiha compared to the last time had utterly surpassed it—nearly two or three times faster.
The three blades struck almost simultaneously. Danzō's head, along with his entire body, was chopped into pieces.
