As the sky gradually darkened, Uchiha Mina felt that she had been off all day.
While receiving Uchiha Tunan's guidance, she kept getting distracted.
"Mina, if you're not feeling well, you should go home and rest early."
Uchiha Tunan patted Uchiha Mina on the shoulder, pulling her back from her daze.
"Sorry, Tunan-kun. Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night." Uchiha Mina looked apologetic.
"Then go back first. I still have something to do." Uchiha Tunan fondly ruffled Uchiha Mina's hair.
Uchiha Mina nodded and listlessly made her way home.
However, when Uchiha Mina arrived home, she found that her cat had been brutally killed in the courtyard.
There was also a note on the ground, recording the location of a waterfall.
Overcome by emotion, Uchiha Mina activated her one-tomoe Sharingan, threw the note to the ground, and ran outside like a madwoman.
Late at night, all was quiet.
Uchiha Mina moved through the forest and soon arrived near the waterfall.
Suddenly, Uchiha Mina stopped and concealed herself in the shadows behind the dense bushes.
She saw Hyuga Senrin emerge naked from the water, walk behind Uchiha Tunan, and wrap her arms around him.
"Tunan-kun, I like you."
Hidden in the darkness, Uchiha Mina burned with rage and gritted her teeth. "That bitch."
"Sorry, Senrin. I know you like me.
But I've always regarded you as a younger sister.
The truth is, there's someone in my heart."
Uchiha Tunan's firm voice came from the darkness.
"Who? Who do you like?"
"I've always liked Mina very much. My heart has been completely occupied by her, and there is no room for anyone else."
Hearing Uchiha Tunan decisively reject Hyuga Senrin, Uchiha Mina's anger instantly dissipated, replaced by a hint of sweetness in her heart.
"What's so good about her? How am I inferior to her?
Tunan-kun, don't go. I'll do anything you want."
Hyuga Senrin howled hysterically.
"Senrin, please have some self-respect."
Uchiha Tunan forcefully pulled Hyuga Senrin's hands away, then left without looking back.
Hyuga Senrin was left alone, collapsed on the ground and crying loudly.
After about ten full minutes, Uchiha Mina quietly emerged from the woods and approached Hyuga Senrin from behind.
That bitch had not only killed Koyuki, but she had also tried to seduce Tunan-kun with her beauty.
Kill her!
Kill her!
It was as though a devil's urging voice rang out in Uchiha Mina's heart.
She subconsciously raised the kunai in her hand.
Hyuga Senrin seemed too heartbroken to notice the movement behind her at all.
Swish!
The kunai swept across Hyuga Senrin's neck, severing her head.
Only then did Uchiha Mina come to her senses, staring in horror at the blood-dripping kunai in her hand.
I killed someone!
What should I do...
If anyone finds out, I'll be executed.
Uchiha Mina staggered back several steps, overwhelmed by regret.
Then she turned and ran toward Konoha.
After taking only two steps, Uchiha Mina suddenly stopped, and a vicious expression flashed across her face.
A voice suddenly echoed in her mind.
The Yamanaka Clan could inspect the memories of the dead.
Uchiha Mina turned around. Her scarlet Sharingan fixed on the head that had rolled aside as her hands began forming seals.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."
Uchiha Mina, who had never used the Great Fireball before, successfully released the fireball.
The enormous fireball struck the head, instantly charring Hyuga Senrin's head black.
After finishing all this, Uchiha Mina no longer wished to remain there for even a second and ran toward Konoha.
However, at the road leading into the village, Uchiha Mina ran into Uchiha Tunan, who was walking back to the village alone.
"Mina, why are you here?" Uchiha Tunan asked with a puzzled look.
Uchiha Mina forced a calm smile.
"I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."
Uchiha Tunan nodded without the slightest suspicion.
"It's so late. It's not safe for a girl to be alone. I'll take you home."
With that, he directly took Uchiha Mina's hand and headed toward Konoha.
The two passed through several silent streets without exchanging a word.
Suddenly, Uchiha Tunan spoke. "Mina, actually, I... like you. Would you be willing to date me?"
"Tunan-kun... I..." Uchiha Mina wanted to agree.
But she had just taken a life, and her mind was in chaos. She truly had no mood for romance.
Who would have thought that Uchiha Tunan would suddenly turn around, pull Uchiha Mina into his arms, lower his head, and forcefully kiss her.
After kissing for about a full minute, the two finally parted reluctantly.
"Tunan-kun, I have something to tell you." Uchiha Mina gazed at Uchiha Tunan before her with infatuated eyes.
"Go ahead."
"Just now... in a moment of impulse, I killed Hyuga Senrin.
I really acted on impulse. Do you think the village will execute me?"
The more Uchiha Mina spoke, the more agitated she became, and tears began to glimmer in her eyes.
Huff...
Uchiha Tunan looked shocked, and it took him a long time to catch his breath.
Then he said solemnly, "As your boyfriend, I will definitely protect you.
They'll definitely find out if they investigate. Tomorrow, I'll confess everything to Lord Hokage and beg him to punish you lightly."
"But..."
"Calm down!"
Uchiha Tunan barked sharply, then took a deep breath and softened his tone.
"Listen to me. You don't need to worry about this.
Mina, I love you."
With that, Uchiha Tunan kissed Uchiha Mina on the forehead, then knocked her unconscious with a chop to the neck.
Inside Uchiha Mina's room.
Uchiha Tunan's forehead was soaked in sweat, and a trace of exhaustion flashed through his eyes.
He closed and reopened his eyes, deactivating his Sharingan.
He reached out, removed the note clutched tightly in Uchiha Mina's hand, and left the room.
Arriving beside the cat's corpse in the courtyard, Uchiha Tunan placed the note next to it, then collected the original note from the ground.
Everything was ready, and the scapegoat had been arranged as well.
With a leap, Uchiha Tunan left the place and raced home like a ghost in the darkness.
When Uchiha Tunan discovered Uchiha Mina in the forest, he had already devised his plan.
First, he had Uchiha Mina eat a mushroom containing neurotoxin.
This kind of mushroom could make people lose their recent memories.
Although Uchiha Tunan had eaten one too, he had first eaten that Green Mushroom with detoxifying properties.
To ensure that the neurotoxin could successfully erase Uchiha Mina's memories, Uchiha Tunan had also continuously used genjutsu to destroy her mental strength.
This allowed the neurotoxin to have its greatest effect.
Next, he constructed an Illusionary World for her, allowing everything Uchiha Mina experienced within it to overwrite her original memories.
The final step was to replace the evidence.
Presumably, for such a minor case with conclusive evidence, Konoha's higher-ups would not send overly professional investigators.
If there really were any oversights or flaws,
then he could only hope that Hiruzen Sarutobi would defy all opposition and protect him.
Constructing the Illusionary World for Uchiha Mina had consumed too much of Uchiha Tunan's Chakra and mental strength.
After returning home, Uchiha Tunan fell straight into bed and slept.
Tomorrow, a good show would be staged.
