That had already been many years ago.
Even in today's Konoha, where powerful figures were as common as clouds, Itachi Uchiha's strength was undoubtedly among the very best, second only to Yuu. Yuu frowned, and his terrifying aura locked onto Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and the others. Those bastards had all bet on Itachi Uchiha.
They had all bet on Itachi Uchiha? Then who was he supposed to bet on? Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya's expressions stiffened. Did Yuu have to be so ruthless?!
Wasn't this just a simple wager? Did he really need to lock onto them with such a terrifying aura?!
Wasn't this forcing them to lose?!
Was there even such a thing as forcing bets like this?!
What kind of wager was this? This was outright robbery!
Yet under the lock of Yuu's terrifying aura, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others stiffly placed their wagers on the name Uchiha Shisui. Tsunade and the other women, meanwhile, chuckled softly as they placed their betting tokens on Itachi Uchiha's name.
"Very good. The betting is complete. You all have excellent judgment, choosing the Shisui I think most highly of." Yuu burst into laughter.
At those words, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others' faces turned green.
He thought highly of him?!
Then why the hell hadn't he bet on him himself?!
After taking several deep breaths, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others adjusted their mindsets and returned to normal. Losing a little in a wager to make Yuu happy was fine.
This was only a small matter. Compared to the upcoming public execution, that was what truly mattered. The news of the public execution was already known throughout the Shinobi World. Moreover, Yuu had ordered them to broadcast it and make a huge profit. If anything went wrong, Konoha would lose face before
