They had long since erupted into furious curses.
In mere moments, Uchiha Shisui's ancestors for eighteen generations had all been thoroughly cursed out.
Yet his expression remained utterly unchanged.
What made Fugaku's heart jolt was that...
At this moment, the coldness and stubbornness on Uchiha Shisui's face actually resembled Qianyu's somewhat!
It was only that the paths the two had chosen were completely different.
Fugaku Uchiha took a deep breath.
Shisui was beyond saving.
The hopes of the entire Uchiha clan could indeed only be placed on that man.
So he forced himself to calm down.
"Shisui, since this is your choice, I have no power to interfere."
"However, I am going to the Anbu prison to visit Qianyu and ask him about the truth of this matter."
"Step aside."
Uchiha Shisui stood unmoving.
"Sorry, Clan Head. I can't do that."
"What did you say?!"
Uchiha Shisui said coldly, "I can't let you pass."
The Police Force exploded even more fiercely, their curses filling the air.
Fugaku Uchiha's gaze darkened as well.
"Uchiha Shisui, do you want to go to war with the Uchiha clan?"
"Believe me, Clan Head, this is the last thing I want to do."
"But... if there is no other choice, I will have no choice but to do it."
Fugaku Uchiha clenched his fists at once.
Chakra began wildly gathering within his body.
Ready to erupt at any moment!
The Police Force behind him was also poised for action!
Naturally, Uchiha Shisui and the Anbu behind him would not simply sit and wait for death.
But everyone knew that one small move could affect the whole situation.
Whoever struck first would throw all of Konoha into upheaval.
Fugaku Uchiha was utterly enraged.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was actually using Uchiha clan members against the Uchiha clan!
This was utterly intolerable!
Just then, Uchiha Shisui glanced at the setting sun on the horizon.
The lingering sunset glow was gradually concealing its last traces of dim yellow...
He let out a soft sigh.
"Clan Head, even if I let you through, I'm afraid it is already too late."
Fugaku Uchiha's expression changed drastically.
"What did you say?!"
Uchiha Shisui shook his head. "Too late..."
"The sky... has already turned dark."
Fugaku Uchiha understood at once, and his patience finally snapped completely!
He roared, "Bastard!"
At that instant, his Sharingan finally bloomed with a blood-red radiance!
At the same time.
The already deep, shadowy Anbu prison.
As the final ray of sunset sank below the horizon, it too was completely swallowed by darkness.
Deep within the prison, those vicious beasts waiting to devour their prey grinned savagely as they stirred.
"Brothers! This bastard is a Konoha Jonin, and he's even a member of the Uchiha clan's Police Force. He's killed who knows how many of our people!"
"Now is our once-in-a-lifetime chance to take revenge, vent our fury, and settle the score!"
"Get him!"
In an instant, violent fury surged forth. One terrifying, vicious figure after another surrounded Qianyu, and then...
Charged in to kill!
And at that moment, Uchiha Qianyu finally opened his eyes.
The brilliant blood-red radiance of the Mangekyo Sharingan...
Burst forth!
The hunt had begun!
A Frenzied Slaughter! Unprecedented Exhilaration!
"Kill!"
Amid roar after roar, the first huge, burly figure took the lead, throwing a fist like a cannonball straight at Qianyu!
This blow carried not only his own strength, but even a portion of Chakra.
Qianyu's heart stirred.
It seemed that, in order to deal with him, the Anbu prison guards had deliberately loosened their seals slightly, allowing them to use some Chakra and strength.
However, it was not much—not enough to break out of the prison.
Of course, in their eyes, Qianyu had already become a complete cripple. This bit of Chakra and strength, combined with their numbers, was more than enough.
Bang—
The savage blow rang out with a thunderous crash.
In the darkness, even these cold-blooded criminals could only barely make out Qianyu's silhouette.
Hearing the sound, they thought the strike had landed. Quite a few of them immediately grinned savagely and clapped in celebration.
But the next moment...
"AAAAARGH!"
A heart-rending scream echoed through the entire Anbu prison!
"W-What happened?!"
They naturally recognized that voice.
Crack!
A crisp sound rang out as bone fractured, followed by sharp pops like firecrackers...
Shattering inch by inch!
That man instantly no longer even had the strength to scream.
Qianyu threw a fierce punch straight into his temple, shattering his skull in an instant. With a bang, the man crashed headfirst into the prison's hard stone floor. Blood sprayed everywhere, and he immediately ceased breathing.
[You successfully helped a criminal turn over a new leaf. Boundless merit, good! Merit Points +80!]
"W-What happened?"
"What the hell happened?!"
"Boss..."
"Is he dead?!"
In the darkness, all fourteen savage and brutal criminals stared dumbfoundedly at the scene before them.
For a moment, none of them understood what had happened.
Qianyu slowly advanced toward them.
The blood-red pupils of his Sharingan glinted with cold cruelty as they fixed upon everyone like a bloodthirsty beast.
"You..."
"Will all die."
"S-Sharingan?!"
"Why... why can this guy still activate his Sharingan?!"
"Oh, no!"
Though they did not understand why, these people had all been thrown into the Anbu death row prison. Naturally, none of them were decent people.
Like that female Kirigakure spy, every one of them was an existence as demonic as a devil!
"Who cares! Fight him to the death!"
