"Quick, chase him!"
Qianyu had just killed seven or eight people in succession. His blood was boiling and his fighting spirit surged, so he had not paid any attention to how many Merit Points he had gained.
Now that he had left the prison and returned outside, the cold wind swept over him, instantly clearing his head.
Only then did he check his gains: 80 points from the two guards, 80 from a leader, 60 from the Mist spy, and 280 from the remaining seven Anbu. Altogether, he had gained a full 500 Merit Points!
This was an unprecedented haul!
Without hesitation, Qianyu added all the Merit Points directly to his Sharingan's Eye Power.
At once...
Buzz!!!
An unprecedentedly violent power erupted from within his body in an instant, surging forth like a tidal wave!
It was equivalent to directly doubling his original Eye Power!
Even Qianyu felt a stabbing pain in his eyes from such immense power.
Even the Chakra throughout his body seemed to boil, his blood and energy churning violently.
He began gasping for breath.
After going through a fierce battle, then raising his Eye Power so drastically and abruptly, Qianyu gained a tremendous increase in strength but also felt extreme exhaustion in his body.
However...
When he opened his eyes again, the blood-red, icy gleam of his Three Tomoe Sharingan burst forth at its absolute peak, perfectly refined!
Current Sharingan Eye Power (980/1000)!
He was only one step away from awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan!
It could be said that Qianyu's Eye Power at this moment was nearly second only to Uchiha Shisui's in the entire Uchiha clan!
Other than that, not even Clan Head Fugaku's own Eye Power was necessarily above his!
As for strength, though it had only taken an instant...
Qianyu was now countless times stronger than when he had just wreaked havoc in the Anbu prison!
However, his Chakra had indeed been excessively depleted, and his entire body was covered in wounds...
His strength had surged, but his condition had fallen to its lowest point.
Yet Qianyu did not hesitate in the slightest.
His next destination was...
The Anbu's headquarters!
Of course, Qianyu knew that the one who had ordered the scheme against Aoki Yamikaze was undoubtedly Shinnosuke Sarutobi.
And the one pulling the strings behind him was naturally Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He would never be satisfied with merely killing those scapegoats who carried out the orders.
The cold wind was like blades, stinging Qianyu's face.
He temporarily deactivated his Sharingan, endured the exhaustion and agonizing pain throughout his body, and walked toward the Anbu step by unwavering step.
At this moment, Yakumi Uchiha had gathered the two small groups under his and Qianyu's command together and followed closely behind.
But when he saw Qianyu charge into the Anbu prison, Yakumi Uchiha knew something was terribly wrong, yet he did not dare charge in after him...
This had become a huge incident!
Still, if it was only Qianyu, it could be treated as his personal action.
Besides, Qianyu had already been suspended and was no longer a member of the Police Force.
However, if Yakumi led his people in support and charged into the Anbu prison...
Then the nature of the matter would be entirely different!
That would be an outright declaration of war!
Though Yakumi Uchiha was not particularly old either, he was steady and mature—the complete opposite of Qianyu.
He stopped the others and merely watched the situation from the perimeter, refusing to act rashly.
He had previously sent someone to notify Elder Yashiro, hoping they would take action as well...
Not much time had passed, but to Yakumi Uchiha, every moment felt like a year.
At last, he saw Qianyu rush out of the prison, drenched in blood like a demon that had slaughtered its way out of the depths of hell!
Yakumi Uchiha's heart skipped a beat...
He understood that this time, things had truly been turned upside down!
And judging from the direction Qianyu was running, he was undoubtedly heading for the Anbu headquarters!
There was no way they could refrain from stopping him now...
Yakumi Uchiha gritted his teeth and could only make a decision.
"You few, hurry and report the latest developments to Elder Yashiro. This is extremely urgent!"
"The rest of you, come with me to stop Qianyu!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Elsewhere.
When Yashiro Uchiha heard about Qianyu, his vision nearly went black...
He shut his eyes tightly, practically unwilling to believe it was real.
"Yakumi has always been prudent. How could he, this time..."
"Elder Yashiro, Lord Qianyu looked terrifying at the time. Even if Captain Yakumi had not said anything, he would have found a way to uncover the truth. And his methods..."
Yashiro Uchiha understood what Yakumi meant and could only sigh.
"If this continues, there really will be no turning back..."
"And the clan head isn't here..."
"Where is Shisui?"
Behind him, Tekka Uchiha hesitated for a moment before answering in a low voice, "He..."
"He went to see Lord Hokage."
Yashiro Uchiha felt another violent headache.
"Hmph, at a time like this, he actually still..."
But it was not over yet.
One of Yakumi's subordinates rushed in frantically at that moment.
"Elder Yashiro, b-bad news..."
"What other bad news could there be?!"
Yashiro Uchiha was so overwhelmed that he felt as though his head were about to explode.
"Lord Qianyu, he charged into the Anbu prison. We didn't dare go in. Not long afterward, he came slaughtering his way out, covered in blood. We don't know what happened, and..."
"And what?!"
"He seems to be heading to the Anbu headquarters to kill!"
Yashiro Uchiha's last shred of hope died completely...
Clan Head Fugaku was absent. Shisui, their strongest fighter, was a traitor. Qianyu, whom the clan head had placed such high hopes upon, was practically a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment!
And now, he alone was left to preside over the situation...
What the hell was he supposed to do?!
"Elder Yashiro, please make a decision quickly!"
Yashiro Uchiha took a deep breath.
Then he said in a grave voice, "I will go stop Qianyu!"
"Elder Yashiro, we'll go with you!"
"No!"
"No matter how much Qianyu turns things upside down, it is still the action of one person. There is still room to salvage things. But if all of you go with him, then in Konoha's higher-ups' eyes, it will be a full-blown rebellion!"
"With the clan head absent, starting a war would mean certain death. I will never allow it!"
"All of you will remain at the Police Force. Tekka, Inabi..."
"Here!"
"I am temporarily entrusting the Police Force to the two of you. Although... I do not wish for war, you two must prepare for the worst!"
Tekka Uchiha and Inabi Uchiha exchanged a glance, each seeing the urgency of the situation in the other's eyes.
"Yes, Elder Yashiro!"
"We will make every preparation..."
"And stand by at all times!"
Shinnosuke Sarutobi—His Crimes Deserve Death!
Messages and intelligence spread rapidly like a spiderweb.
Qianyu had learned the truth...
Qianyu had stormed into the Anbu prison...
Qianyu had slaughtered his way out of the prison, drenched in blood...
