Leaving Konoha

Everyone in the audience had their eyes on Gaara and Uchiha Sasuke.

When Yakushi Kabuto, disguised as an Anbu member, appeared,

not a single person noticed him.

As feathers drifted down from the sky,

most of the spectators fell under the genjutsu and sank into a deep sleep.

The Konoha Ninja at the scene froze.

Before they could react, the hidden shinobi from Otogakure and Sunagakure launched their attack.

The stands erupted into battle.

Seeing this, the Kumogakure Ninja headed toward Hinata Hyuga.

Su Yu had been keeping an eye on them. As they approached Hinata,

he flickered and disappeared.

The next second,

one of the Kumogakure Ninja fell to the ground.

Another Kumogakure Ninja stared at Su Yu, who had suddenly appeared, and stiffened.

The Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun.

The S-rank Hell Viewing Technique activated!

The Special Jonin from Kumogakure wore an expression of terror.

The kunai in Su Yu's hand swept lightly across.

The man fell to the ground.

The Three-Tomoe Sharingan combined with the Hell Viewing Technique was probably second only to Tsukuyomi.

The surrounding shinobi from Otogakure and Sunagakure saw what Su Yu had done and rushed at him.

Su Yu calmly formed a hand seal.

In an instant, mist billowed around them.

It was the Hidden Mist Technique.

Taking advantage of the cover, Su Yu whisked Hinata Hyuga and Hanabi Hyuga away toward the Infirmary.

A few minutes later,

outside the Infirmary,

Hyuga Hiashi saw Hinata and Hanabi and breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yu set the two girls down, then vanished with the Body Flicker Technique.

The stands were already in chaos.

Konoha's shinobi were vastly outnumbered by the alliance of Otogakure and Sunagakure. On top of that, the village itself had also come under attack, leaving many Konoha Ninja unable to reach the arena in time.

Su Yu found Uzuki Yugao at the medical ninja department.

He didn't say much, only pressing a scroll into her hand.

"C-could you stay?" Uzuki Yugao caught Su Yu by the hand.

Su Yu shook his head, pulled free, and left with the Body Flicker Technique.

He didn't go to the Third Hokage. Instead, he chose to pursue the One-Tail Jinchuriki, Gaara!

He had already completed the advanced mission, and it had been practically handed to him.

He'd unlocked the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and completed the mission in an instant.

The new achievement list, however, was undoubtedly more difficult.

1. Collect Tailed Beast chakra (repeatable)

2. Learn an S-rank ninjutsu (repeatable)

3. Reach jonin rank

(Cap: ten ability draws.)

Fortunately, it didn't matter how much Tailed Beast chakra he collected. Even a small amount counted.

Su Yu tracked Naruto Uzumaki with his Byakugan and soon found Gaara.

He didn't rush in. Instead, he watched the protagonist's team fight with all their might.

When Shukaku, the One-Tail, appeared,

Su Yu used the Body Flicker Technique to charge in.

Naruto Uzumaki had summoned Gamabunta and hadn't even had time to speak

when another Summoning Beast appeared.

Gamabunta blinked in surprise at the sight of Katsuyu.

Naruto was just as startled.

Su Yu was dressed in Anbu gear, so Naruto didn't recognize him at all.

"I want one of its arms," Su Yu said.

"Of course, Lord Su Yu," Katsuyu replied.

Only then did Naruto react. He hurriedly told Gamabunta to work with Su Yu.

Against two opponents, Shukaku couldn't hold his ground.

Before long, Gamabunta seized an opening and hacked off one of Shukaku's arms.

Su Yu used the Body Flicker Technique to move beside the severed arm, pulled out the scroll he'd prepared, and sealed the arm inside.

Seeing this, Shukaku tried to crush Su Yu underfoot.

Unfortunately, its foot came down on empty air.

Su Yu appeared above Shukaku's head and punched Gaara awake from his doze.

Naruto cheered as Gamabunta vanished beneath his feet.

He was running low on chakra, too.

"I'll leave the rest to you." Having achieved his goal, Su Yu said this to Naruto and left without a backward glance.

Katsuyu also returned to Shikkotsu Forest.

By the time Su Yu returned to Konoha,

the Konoha Ninja had gained the upper hand.

He glanced toward the Hokage Office, an idea forming in his mind.

Su Yu went to the Hokage Office Building and used his Byakugan to locate the Anbu guarding the entrance.

Then he used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of him.

The Anbu guard jumped in surprise.

He was about to ask what was going on when Su Yu struck.

The Three-Tomoe Sharingan and the Hell Viewing Technique easily trapped him in a genjutsu.

Then Su Yu's kunai flashed.

After the Anbu guard stopped breathing, Su Yu didn't leave the body behind.

He put it in a Storage Scroll.

Then Su Yu looked at the room beside the Hokage Office.

Inside were all the ninjutsu and secret techniques collected since Konoha's founding, along with the notes of some exceptional shinobi.

Tsunade's notes, for example.

Su Yu went to the room and pushed open the door.

He ignored the scrolls of ninjutsu and secret techniques and headed straight for the shelves of notes. He found Tsunade's notes and tucked them into his robe.

Once he was done, Su Yu turned and left.

He didn't touch the ninjutsu and secret technique scrolls because they were all sealed. If he touched one, it would be difficult to escape.

The notes weren't as important. At most, they offered some useful reference.

What Su Yu wanted was the Strength Enhancement Fist, as well as Tsunade's research notes on Medical Ninjutsu.

He already had enough material to study the Flying Thunder God Technique and Impure World Reincarnation.

Konoha Prison.

Using his Byakugan and the Body Flicker Technique, Su Yu made his way inside the prison and found Mizuki.

Mizuki was a threat to him.

Mizuki sat up at the sound and met Su Yu's Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

The Hell Viewing Technique activated!

Terror filled Mizuki's face.

Then he stopped breathing.

Su Yu hadn't expected that.

It seemed Mizuki wasn't in good mental shape.

Of course, his strength was a factor, too.

He was only a Chunin.

Su Yu used his Byakugan to confirm Mizuki was dead before leaving with peace of mind.

Konoha's cemetery.

Su Yu put away the Storage Scroll.

Now, everything he wanted to do was done.

The last thing was especially important.

Su Yu looked at the tombstone in front of him.

Then he glanced toward the arena.

The fighting there should be nearly over.

As for avenging Uzuki Yugao, Su Yu would do that later.

Now it was time to leave Konoha.

Without a backward glance, Su Yu turned and walked out of Konoha.

The Konoha Crush came to an end.

The Third Hokage had died.

The shinobi from Otogakure and Sunagakure were captured.

As Uzuki Yugao tended to the wounded, she searched for Su Yu.

But she looked all over the arena and never saw him.

At last, she realized Su Yu had already left.

After her work was done,

Uzuki Yugao returned home.

The first thing she did was open the scroll Su Yu had given her.

"I possess the Kekkei Genkai of the Uzumaki Clan, the Uchiha Clan, and the Hyuga Clan. Please tell Fifth Hokage Tsunade about this.

There is no place for me in Konoha. Danzo was responsible for my parents' deaths."
