"Phew... phew..." A disheveled figure hid in a corner of an alley somewhere within the Uchiha Clan compound. He struggled to steady his breathing, trying to reduce his presence.

A bead of sweat slowly slid down his face as the corners of his eyes, lined with faint crow's feet, narrowed slightly.

His scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan carefully observed the movements around him.

"It's been three minutes already. Why hasn't that guy come out to meet me... Didn't we agree on this time?"

Uchiha Onigawara gritted his teeth and muttered words only he could hear.

His tone was filled with dissatisfaction and anxiety.

When he noticed figures flickering in the distance, he immediately shifted deeper into the corner, positioning himself in a blind spot from multiple directions where he could barely conceal himself.

"Damn it, where the hell are you?!"

To escape the holding cells in the Military Police Force Building, he had killed a ninja from the Konoha Military Police Force. Those Military Police Force people had surely mobilized in full force by now.

If that man did not show up soon...

He would definitely be caught!

Fragments of memory flashed through Uchiha Onigawara's mind—after his actions were exposed and he had been suspended by the Anbu pending investigation.

A young man wearing a strange Mask had approached him.

—"Heh heh... Uchiha Onigawara, you tortured two companions to death. Do you think those foolish Konoha ninjas can still tolerate you? The only ending awaiting you is twenty years in Konoha Prison? Thirty years? Or perhaps a lifetime?"

—"I won't hide it from you. It is precisely because your special bloodline has considerable value that my lord wishes for you to join us. My lord promises that your penchant for torture will be fully indulged with us."

—"All you need to do is leave Konoha. Is there anything in Konoha worth your attachment? As long as you dare to defect, I will come meet you at the right time."

—"Oh, right. I forgot to remind you—you certainly won't find my lord's identity unfamiliar."

At first, Uchiha Onigawara had not known who the other party was.

He only knew that anyone capable of silently bypassing those watching him to meet with him had to be quite capable.

It was not until he saw a little white snake emerge from the other man's sleeve.

Then Uchiha Onigawara knew who had extended the olive branch to him.

As a proud member of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Onigawara naturally had no desire to become the subordinate of a Konoha rogue ninja. Once that guy's "spy" planted in Konoha escorted him out of the village, he would kill that "spy" ninja without hesitation and leave Konoha Village behind!

"Tch... my special bloodline..."

Uchiha Onigawara narrowed his eyes. "They covet that brat Chisen's Lava Release Kekkei Genkai, but they don't dare lay a hand on him, so they settled for targeting me instead?"

He did not know why his nephew, whose personality was far too extreme, possessed double Kekkei Genkai either.

Neither he, nor his late sister and brother-in-law, had awakened any Lava Release Kekkei Genkai.

Of course, that did not stop Uchiha Onigawara from trying to use Orochimaru's spy to escape Konoha.

Only...

"Where the hell did he go?!" Just as Uchiha Onigawara gnashed his teeth in fury, his pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan sharply caught sight of a drop of crimson "rain" falling from above.

Drip—

A splash of blood bloomed across the damp ground at his feet, causing Uchiha Onigawara's gaze to freeze.

When he hurriedly looked up.

He saw a black shadow rapidly falling from above.

Uchiha Onigawara reacted swiftly, catching the falling shadow to keep the noise from drawing the Konoha Military Police Force's encirclement.

"This is..."

But Uchiha Onigawara's pupils suddenly constricted, because he discovered that what he had caught was a corpse still warm to the touch!

Blood poured from the corpse's neck, and the Mask on its face slipped off, revealing a face frozen in terror.

Cold sweat streamed down Uchiha Onigawara's body.

He did not recognize that face, but he recognized the fallen Mask—this was the spy ninja Orochimaru had planted in Konoha, the one who had approached him half a month ago and extended an olive branch to him!

"I ran into him while looking for you. The 'evil' he committed was like a light bulb in the night. It was hard for me to overlook."

The sudden voice set alarm bells ringing in Uchiha Onigawara's heart.

No longer caring about concealing himself, he swiftly Body Flickered to a position he believed gave him room to advance or retreat, then looked up again.

Two pairs of Three-Tomoe Sharingan met in midair.

Uchiha Onigawara recognized the other's identity at a glance.

"Chisen?!!" Uchiha Onigawara had a deep impression of this nephew of his. He had seen many extreme Uchiha, and he himself was one of the more extreme kind.

But...

He felt far too immature before Uchiha Chisen.

Even though he was a full twenty years older than him!

Uchiha Onigawara had already assumed a stance ready to form hand seals at any moment. The corpse of the "spy ninja" on the ground had made his face turn dark and ugly, while the killing intent brewing in Uchiha Chisen's eyes sent chills down his spine.

Uchiha Onigawara took a deep breath and warily asked, "Chisen... are you here to deal with me?"

"Yes."

Uchiha Chisen's concise reply made Uchiha Onigawara's heart sink.

He could not help gritting his teeth. "We are blood relatives! Chisen, why not leave Konoha with me? You know what your reputation in Konoha is like, don't you? No one in this village will recognize your Nindo. Neither will those people of the Uchiha Clan. There is no use in you remaining in Konoha Village, is there?"

"Chisen, you are the Uchiha Clan's genius with double Kekkei Genkai. And I am no weakling either. If you and I join forces, there will be nowhere in the Shinobi World we cannot go. We can ensure the Uchiha Clan bloodline continues beyond Konoha!"

As Uchiha Onigawara spoke, his heart gradually sank deeper.

Because he realized his "invitation" had not moved Uchiha Chisen in the slightest.

His heart hardened, and he enunciated every word. "Chisen, think of your deceased mother! I am her biological younger brother! I am your closest relative, the only close relative you, Uchiha Chisen, have!"

"Are you finished?"

Uchiha Chisen, looking down at him from above, asked expressionlessly.

"...I'm finished." Uchiha Onigawara forced down his discomfort.

Uchiha Chisen said, "'Evil' is 'evil.' The Absolute Justice I believe in will not forgive you simply because we share similar blood. Besides, I have no right to forgive you."

Damn it... This brat is so extreme it's beyond words!

Uchiha Onigawara's expression turned incomparably ugly.

He already regretted hiding in this place. If he had chosen somewhere else, perhaps he would not have encountered this brat who recognized no family ties.

Yet Uchiha Chisen said in an indifferent tone, "Uchiha Onigawara, someone who only regrets encountering me is already beyond saving. In my eyes, you are so disgusting that you make me want to vomit."

Uchiha Onigawara's face was full of disbelief.

Could his thoughts really be seen through so easily?

And this damned brat...

"Fire Release...

"Great Fireball Technique!!!"

Without hesitation, he rapidly formed hand seals, sending a massive fireball hurtling toward Uchiha Chisen above.
