Revenge on Danzo Using the Uchiha's Hands

The attack by the Root ninjas terrified the children.

Although Yamanaka Chujiu had gained quite a bit, today's reclamation plan had to be abandoned.

He comforted the children gently, promising to resolve the issue and guaranteeing there would be no next attack, before sending them home.

Afterward, he returned to the scene and converted every Root ninja who might have overheard his conversation with the children into his own living puppets.

Those four Root ninjas had launched a fierce attack simply upon hearing the three words "Execution Line," which showed just how shocking the impact of those words truly was.

He absolutely could not let Shimura Danzō associate those three words with him.

Even after controlling the four Root ninjas, Yamanaka Chujiu still felt irritated.

He had never intentionally provoked Root; the only times he had encountered them on the battlefield and stolen a few ninjas to act as shields for him, it had been a matter of expediency!

What was this attack by the Root ninjas supposed to be?

It was malicious harm!

Yamanaka Chujiu muttered coldly to himself, "Shimura Danzō, you brought this upon yourself!"

He immediately locked onto Uchiha Shisui via emotional sensing, using a flash of inspiration to warn him to pay attention and look at what he was currently doing from a different perspective.

A large group of villagers, men and women, old and young, were being escorted by Uchiha ninjas, weeping and wailing as they walked through half of Konoha.

Any villager who saw this scene with their own eyes would subconsciously put themselves in the shoes of those villagers and view the Uchiha as enemies.

Uchiha Shisui froze suddenly, shouting in panic, "Stop! Everyone, stop!"

Uchiha Tekka was stunned: "Shisui, what happened?"

Shisui didn't know how to explain it; he could only pull Tekka aside and let him see the horrifying scene for himself.

All the Uchiha ninjas stepped back to look, and they all realized the severity of the problem.

A shift in the perception of friend versus foe was not something that could be compared to rumors like "The Nine-Tails was controlled by the Uchiha."

If this wasn't handled well today, the Uchiha clan would be treated as enemies by the villagers.

Uchiha Inabi shouted: "Damn it, we can't just leave it like this; we must notify the Clan Head immediately!"

Shisui asked: "What about these villagers?"

Tekka said: "Take them back to the clan grounds and let the Clan Head decide!"

"Stop right there!!"

A group of Root ninjas suddenly appeared, surrounding the Uchiha ninjas and the villagers.

The lead Root ninja said: "Hand them over to us; they are no longer under the jurisdiction of the Military Police Force."

Uchiha Shisui's natural instinct was certainly to hand them over, but Yamanaka Chujiu would not allow him to think that way. Leveraging the close connection between them, he poured waves of inspiration into his mind.

Uchiha Shisui's heart pounded wildly, and he jumped up and shouted: "No! These are the witnesses who prove the Uchiha were framed; they cannot be taken away!"

He then shouted to the villagers: "Please trust the Uchiha! If you are taken away, you will definitely meet with misfortune!"

Shisui's warning was very effective, and the Uchiha immediately became vigilant:

"I knew something was wrong. We just stopped, and these Root ninjas popped up; they must have been monitoring us!"

"That's right, don't hand them over, or they'll definitely kill them to frame us!"

The Root ninjas watched the situation indifferently, waiting for the higher-ups to arrive after sending the signal as ordered, intending to steer the situation in a direction unfavorable to the Uchiha.

But this was exactly the moment for Yamanaka Chujiu to exert his influence. He extended a thread of thought to entangle one of the Root ninjas, instantly turning him into a living puppet.

In the eyes of everyone, one Root ninja suddenly went silent and threw a kunai at the villagers surrounded by the Uchiha.

A lit explosive tag was tied to the kunai; it was clearly an attempt to kill.

Killing could only be for the sake of silencing witnesses!

Everyone reached the same conclusion.

Uchiha Tekka roared: "Under the gaze of the Uchiha's eyes, you won't get away with murder!"

The young Uchiha activated his Sharingan and desperately knocked the kunai away, scratching his arm in the process.

The explosion of the tag triggered chaos, and Anbu ninjas from all over rushed toward the scene.

Yamanaka Chujiu retreated during the confusion, leaving behind the spectacle of the Root and Uchiha locked in a massive battle.

Konoha was in turmoil for the entire night, but he slept soundly.

The next day, Yamanaka Chujiu took his tea set and went out, heading straight for the Forest of Death.

He crossed the wall into the forest, stopped in a blind spot where he confirmed he wouldn't be watched, and turned to look behind him.

"Uchiha Shisui, come out."

Uchiha Shisui's figure emerged from behind a tree trunk, but unexpectedly, he was accompanied by a small Uchiha boy.

He had short black hair and black eyes, delicate features, and long eyelashes, but the most striking characteristic was the tear troughs on his youthful face.

The eldest son of the Uchiha Clan Head, Uchiha Itachi.

He was the most monstrous genius in the history of the Uchiha clan, second only to Obito Uchiha—a psychopath capable of wiping out his own family, including all the elders and children!

Yamanaka Chujiu did not fear the mentally ill, yet he could sense Uchiha Shisui from two thousand meters away, only to completely miss Uchiha Itachi when the latter was a mere ten meters from him.

This was a fatal mistake!

What was even more ironic was that Uchiha Shisui actually asked, "Senior Chujiu, I felt that my concealment was flawless when I went all out. How exactly did you discover me?"

Yamanaka Chujiu felt incredibly stifled; he could only shake his head with an expressionless face and say, "I cannot say. That is my secret."

The Heart Severing Realm was his trump card for survival, so he would certainly not tell Uchiha Shisui about it.

This child was absurdly naive; he had even revealed information about his own Mangekyō Sharingan's Kotoamatsukami to his mortal enemy, Shimura Danzō, ultimately inviting his own destruction.

Uchiha Shisui had a very good temper and did not get angry even after being rejected.

He pursed his lips and asked, "Alright, then could Senior tell me what an 'Execution Line' is?"

Yamanaka Chujiu: "..."

After a long silence, he asked, "Where did you hear that term?"

Uchiha Shisui pointed to Uchiha Itachi beside him: "Little Brother Itachi happened to overhear the conversation you had with the child beside you on the street yesterday."

"Neither of us understands the meaning of this term, but we inexplicably felt it was deeply profound."

"My intuition tells me that this term seems to hide the power to save the Uchiha Clan, so I specifically visited you today, hoping you could enlighten us."

Yamanaka Chujiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Uchiha Shisui was not a fellow transmigrator.

That was truly for the best!

If Uchiha Shisui were a transmigrator, all the weaknesses in his original personality would cease to exist, and he would likely possess knowledge of the future.

The difficulty of taking him out would increase exponentially.

One could not blame Yamanaka Chujiu for being ruthless.

A single mountain cannot house two tigers, and a single world cannot contain two transmigrators!

He then turned his gaze toward Uchiha Itachi.
