I Betrayed You Like an Executioner

Sasuke is completely clueless about Konoha now. The village where Sasuke grew up is now extremely unfamiliar to Sasuke.

After all, Sasuke was just a Genin when he left Konoha, and he had no access to the village's secrets.

Even the names Shimura Danzō, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura were only heard by Sasuke a few times from Future Sasuke and Orochimaru, and he didn't even know what they looked like.

Sasuke's revenge was nothing more than a decision made on a whim. His plan was simply to infiltrate the village and use the Sharingan's Genjutsu to gather some information.

"Hey!"

Hinata tossed a photo to Sasuke, pursed her lips, and said, "This person is Shimura Danzō. He was injured in his right eye and right hand when he was young, but he has since recovered."

Sasuke memorized the image in the photo and then burned it with fire-style Chakra.

Upon hearing Hinata's words, Sasuke countered, "Then why did he...?"

Hinata, with a straight face, lied, "After you left, I worked as the Fifth Hokage's secretary for a while and had access to the village's secrets."

"After learning that Danzo was involved in the Uchiha Clan Extermination, I investigated his information."

"Danzo's right eye is Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan, while Shisui's left eye should be in Itachi Uchiha's possession."

"As for Danzo's right arm... that must have been made by Orochimaru. Danzo's right arm was transplanted with cells from the First Hokage, and the Sharingan was suppressed using the power of Hashirama Cells."

Hinata paused, then continued, "Danzo had ten Three Tomoe Sharingan transplanted into his right arm..."

"I was curious why Danzo transplanted so many Sharingan. After investigation, I found a forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan... Izanagi."

"Izanagi is the ultimate Dōjutsu of the Uchiha clan. For a certain period of time, it can transform the caster's injuries and all adverse factors, including death, into a dream. Izanagi is the ultimate Genjutsu cast on oneself, which can control the transition between dreams and reality."

"However, after using this procedure, the user will lose their sight and will be unable to open their eyes again."

"The effect of this technique is roughly the same as Orochimaru-Style Body Replacement Technique, but Izanagi is more effective, but also comes at a higher cost."

After hearing this information, Sasuke's face contorted with rage, his fists clenched, as if he wanted to kill Danzo immediately.

"Damn it! How many people did he kill?!"

That's a really stupid question.

Hinata rolled her eyes at Sasuke and retorted, "Isn't it obvious!"

"Danzo proficient in Wind Release Ninjutsu, Sealing Jutsu, Juinjutsu, as well as the Sharingan and Wood Release Kekkei Genkai. If you fight him, you must be careful of Shisui's eyes. You should know how powerful the Mangekyō Sharingan is."

"Besides that, you also need to be careful of Sealing Jutsu..."

"If Danzo uses Izanagi to fight you, you will have to kill him ten times."

Hinata is not yet clear on the extent of Sasuke's current power, but Sasuke's ability to escape from Orochimaru and even fight Orochimaru suggests that he has grown considerably.

However, when it comes to fighting Danzo... to be honest, Hinata isn't particularly optimistic about it.

"If you ask me, you should wait until you awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan before seeking revenge on Danzo!"

Sasuke said coldly, "I can't wait any longer! I wish I could kill him right now!"

Hinata shrugged and said casually, "Whatever."

"The Root's base is not in Konoha. I have drawn up a map showing its exact location, including the internal layout of the Root Base. I have prepared everything for you, including Konoha's sensory barrier and defensive deployments."

After saying that, Hinata took out a folded piece of paper from her ninja tool bag and handed it to Sasuke.

Sasuke took it, glanced at it quickly, and then burned it with Fire Release.

"It looks like you're very well prepared."

Sasuke looked at Hinata and asked, "When did you find out about me?"

Hinata turned to look at Sasuke and said slowly, "Don't think that just because you have the Sharingan, you can underestimate my eyes."

Sasuke stared at Hinata for a moment, then turned away without asking any more questions.

"What about the other two?"

Although Sasuke did not intend to take his anger out on the entire Konoha, he had no intention of letting Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura off the hook.

"Hello!"

Hinata said irritably, "Those two guys have nothing to do with your Uchiha. You need to find the right target for your revenge!"

Hinata actually thinks the two Hokage Advisors are quite adorable. Although they have some selfish motives, they are genuinely devoted to Konoha.

After the Konoha Crush Plan, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu immediately recommended Jiraiya as the Fifth Hokage, and then Jiraiya recommended Tsunade.

During Tsunade's initial tenure as Hokage, the two advisors would participate in some matters, but later on, except for major events, the two advisors did not interfere much with Tsunade's governance.

Moreover, the two Hokage Advisors didn't have much power. In the matter of the Uchiha Clan Extermination, the two advisors were merely wavering between the Third and Danzo.

Whether it has anything to do with them or not will only be known after investigation.

Sasuke said coldly, "Tell me their information."

"..."

Hinata paused for a moment, then said, "The two advisors are no longer very strong, but they have lived in the village for many years. If you were to make a move in the village... not only the Hokage, but even I would take action against you."

"Sasuke... you'd better think it through before you make a decision!"

Hinata secretly returned to the Hyuga Clan after meeting with Sasuke late into the night, and collapsed onto her bed to fall into a deep sleep.

The next day, Hinata slept until almost noon as usual... mainly because someone kept knocking on Hinata's door, making it impossible for Hinata to sleep.

'Bang!'

Hinata flung open the door and said with a dark expression, "What's going on so early in the morning? If you don't explain yourself, I'll definitely kill you!"

"Hinata, Sasuke is back!"

Shikamaru, covered in sweat, hurriedly said, "The village's Jonin and Anbu have already gone after Sasuke."

Hinata: "..."

Damn it! Sasuke, couldn't you have waited until night to make your move?

I've been conserving my energy and sleeping until now so I'll have the strength to keep watch for you in the dark tonight... Your reckless actions have not only ruined all my plans, but also made the whole village aware of it.

Hinata quickly pressed for an answer, "What exactly happened?"

Shikamaru explained, "This morning, Sasuke secretly infiltrated the village, seemingly trying to gather some information. After being discovered by the Anbu, Sasuke defeated Anbu and escaped the village. His whereabouts are currently unknown... However, the village has already dispatched ninjas to pursue Sasuke."

Hinata's eyes flickered upon hearing this. Sasuke might not be very calm right now, but he is not a person without a plan.

Is this a diversionary tactic?

Or is it a feint attack?
