Finding My Weak Spot

When Qingcheng spoke, Sarutobi Asuma's face flushed with excitement. He roared, "What did you do to Kurenai? No, that's impossible! How could Kurenai like you?"

Qingcheng looked pleased and laughed, "You should take a good look at yourself. If your dad wasn't the Third Hokage, you'd be nothing."

Sarutobi Asuma becoming the Ino-Shika-Cho's sensei was definitely paved by Hiruzen Sarutobi. It was meant to create a bond between Asuma and Shikamaru, so that when he rose in power, he would have the support of the new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho.

And the three members of Ino-Shika-Cho all use family Ninjutsu. In other words, even a dog could be their sensei, since they don't need to learn any Ninjutsu.

It's just a shame this spoiled brat went running off to the Land of Fire to be a Guardian Ninja, looking like he's going to die young.

Qingcheng wouldn't give the Sarutobi Clan any face. The Third Hokage had to bear the primary responsibility for the Uchiha Clan's extermination.

The fuse for the extermination was Uchiha Shisui telling the Third Hokage that he had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and that one of his eyes possessed the Ninjutsu Kotoamatsukami. He planned to use Kotoamatsukami to control Uchiha Fugaku, the clan head, to stop the hawk-faction's coup.

The Third Hokage solemnly declared, "Shisui, go do it. I trust you. The village will be your backup."

Then, with a flick of his wrist, he signaled Danzo, "Uchiha Shisui has awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. Both of his eyes possess the Ninjutsu Kotoamatsukami. Go steal it. This Ninjutsu is too terrifying; it must be in the village's hands."

Then Uchiha Shisui was ambushed, and Danzo gouged out one of his eyes. Uchiha Itachi, who was Shisui's close companion, not only didn't try to get Shisui's eye back but was also threatened by Danzo, leading directly to the complete annihilation of the Uchiha Clan.

Qingcheng would always remember this dirty debt. "Let everyone experience the bitterness of clan extermination."

Sarutobi Asuma saw Qingcheng's condescending expression and furiously shouted, "I want to see Kurenai now! Get out of my way, you dead last!"

Qingcheng looked at the agitated Asuma and chuckled, "This isn't your house. You can't just waltz in. Do you really think you're the Hokage? Lord Danzo isn't dead yet, you know."

Qingcheng mocked him again, "Or wait until you become Hokage, then try stepping over someone else's doorstep."

Konoha wouldn't truly see light until Tsunade became the Fifth Hokage, because Danzo was completely suppressed by Tsunade.

Those Root members were like rotten apples, forced to hide in the shadows. Danzo Shimura even took advantage of Pain's invasion and Tsunade's unconsciousness to become the 'Fifth-and-a-half Hokage'.

But when Kakashi took office, Konoha truly saw the light. Like Minato Namikaze, Kakashi improved the treatment of civilian ninja and disbanded the Root ninja. Because the village didn't need darkness, everyone could embrace the sun.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi had retired the first time, he would have been a qualified Hokage. But his second time in office, he was a useless Hokage. He was indecisive, wishy-washy, and lacked any courage or responsibility. He just had to maintain his public image in the hearts of the people.

As for Uchiha Qingcheng, he was just a family man. If his clan flourished, he might help Konoha a little, but since his clan was exterminated, anyone with Uchiha blood on their hands, not a single one of you will escape.

So Qingcheng looked at Asuma before him like a clown who couldn't find love. He didn't plan to kill him, but to let him go to the Land of Fire to be a Guardian Ninja, which would also tarnish Hiruzen Sarutobi's reputation.

Sarutobi Asuma saw that Qingcheng was unmoved and still staring intently at him. He spoke with great annoyance, "If you don't let me in, I'll force my way through."

Qingcheng took out sunglasses from his clothes, put them on, and said mockingly, "I will protect the Uchiha Clan's territory with my life."

Beneath the sunglasses, Qingcheng's Sharingan activated. Three interlocking black tomoe spun in his eyes, and with those blood-red Sharingan, concealed by the sunglasses, there was no trace. Qingcheng stared intently at Asuma again.

But when Sarutobi Asuma saw Qingcheng put on sunglasses, his face filled with mockery. "Do you think you have the Sharingan? Wearing sunglasses, do you think that makes you mysterious?"

Qingcheng laughed, "You're trash. Compared to Kakashi and the others, you have no power. It's all because your dad is Hiruzen Sarutobi. If you weren't the Hokage's son, you wouldn't even be a Special Jonin."

When Qingcheng awakened his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he felt his Chakra reserves had already reached Jonin level. If he progressed further, he would be an Elite Jonin.

But this level of power isn't enough to kill old dogs like Danzo, but there's definitely no problem with blowing up their clan territory.

Qingcheng had always acted like an ordinary person. Firstly, he was afraid of persecution from Konoha's higher-ups, as he wasn't strong enough and didn't want to wander outside the village. The second reason was to deliver a fatal blow to these poisonous snakes from the shadows.

Asuma heard this, and his face filled with anger. He shouted excitedly, "I want to see Kurenai, or I won't leave!"

Qingcheng looked at the agitated Asuma, delighted, and softly said, "Sharingan. Genjutsu Control."

The Three-Tomoe Sharingan beneath his sunglasses rotated. In an instant, an invisible mental force was released, surging towards Sarutobi Asuma like a tide.

Sarutobi Asuma suddenly realized something was wrong. A scene flashed in his mind: he was being stared at by a pair of giant Three-Tomoe Sharingan. Asuma was greatly alarmed.

Before he could speak, his eyes closed, and he almost fell to the ground. Then, his whole body began to feel hazy.

Qingcheng said solemnly, "Get out. Don't come to our Uchiha Clan again. Kurenai and I don't want to see you."

Sarutobi Asuma's eyes looked droopy, and he said forlornly, "I understand. I won't bother Kurenai again. I just want to tell you that I don't want to stay in Konoha. My father is a hypocrite."

With that, Asuma slowly got up, still looking dejected, and walked towards the Sarutobi Clan's compound.

Qingcheng closed his Sharingan and chuckled, "How could our great Third Hokage be a hypocrite? This spoiled brat is slandering Lord Hokage again."

The ninja on the rooftops had already begun to record, sending information about Sarutobi Asuma and Asuma's words separately to their superiors.

The Anbu ninja sent their reports to Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the Root ninja sent theirs to Danzo Shimura.

Qingcheng looked at the surveillance ninja on the rooftops; there were still six of them. Three were Root ninja, and three were Anbu members.

Qingcheng thought to himself, "I knew you scumbags were still up to your tricks, trying to find fault with me. Just try it!"

The Genjutsu Qingcheng cast on Asuma amplified Asuma's rebellious personality, sending him home to argue with his father.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were just too idle. They were still desperately monitoring the two surviving Uchiha.

Qingcheng thought to himself, "I must give them something to do, make them as busy as they were last time."
