Poisoning Fugaku Uchiha!

"According to Xiao Zhi, the Scroll of Sealing records every Ninjutsu in Konoha! Doesn't that mean we can learn those Ninjutsu too? Wouldn't everyone gain at least one more 100,000-Year Soul Skill?!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo was instantly thrilled, his voice rising several notches despite himself.

Previously, everyone had assumed that Ninjutsu merely had many forms and strange variations. They instinctively believed its power was far inferior to the Soul Skills of the continent. Although they valued the Scroll of Sealing, they felt it offered little improvement to a Title Douluo, so they had looked down on it somewhat.

But after witnessing the Third Hokage effortlessly crush a level-ninety-five Title Douluo with all sorts of Ninjutsu, they finally came to their senses. They had ultimately underestimated the value of Ninjutsu!

Everyone stared eagerly at Dugu Bo on the Sky Screen!

The Sky Screen shifted, and the view switched to Yu Zhi's battlefield—the Uchiha Police Force.

Fugaku Uchiha's brows were tightly furrowed, his face full of worry.

The Uchiha clansmen around him all believed their clan head was angered by Root blocking them from heading to the front lines to support the Nine-Tails Incident. Only Yu Zhi, hidden in the shadows, knew that what truly worried him was the Uchiha Clan's future situation.

The scene of the Nine-Tails being controlled by the Sharingan had just spread throughout Konoha. Once the chaos subsided, the existing rift between the Uchiha Clan and the village would inevitably deepen, and their circumstances would only grow more difficult.

Dugu Bo, who had been lying in wait beside him for a long time, could no longer hold back. He urged in a low voice, "Little Monster, are we just going to keep watching?"

"What is there to see about this wide-chinned man?"

"The time has come, Old Poisoner. Make your move." Yu Zhi's mouth twitched before he spoke.

"Release your poison. Make sure it is completely silent, and knock everyone here unconscious."

Most of the Uchiha's elite had gathered here. This was the best possible opportunity to strike.

"Just leave it to me!" Dugu Bo immediately became brimming with confidence.

He was already one of the continent's foremost poison experts. Now that the Snowy Swan Kiss had amplified his toxins, no one in the world could withstand his deadly poison except perhaps the gods of legend.

As soon as he finished speaking, he first took out a specially made antidote pill and handed it to Yu Zhi, ensuring he would not be affected by the poison. Then he quietly circulated his Soul Power. Colorless, odorless, invisible poison slowly spread out, silently enveloping the entire police force headquarters.

No one in the area noticed anything at all. Even Fugaku Uchiha, the powerful head of the clan, showed no reaction.

After all, he was not a medical Ninja. Furthermore, the deadly poisons of Douluo Continent had appeared in this world for the first time, and no one had ever encountered them before. Naturally, there was no way to guard against them. Only after being poisoned firsthand could one gain experience dealing with them.

"Who's there?"

Fugaku Uchiha, whose heart was full of worries, caught sight of the clansmen around him swaying one after another. His heart jolted, and he immediately snapped back to attention.

He hurriedly sensed his own condition. The Chakra in his body had suddenly become sluggish and blocked, meeting resistance everywhere as it circulated. A limp, powerless feeling rapidly spread through his entire body.

Someone had poisoned them!

Dugu Bo watched the entire scene from the shadows, a cold smile curling across his lips. "So what if you noticed? I specially gave you an extra-heavy dose. The poison has already seeped into every limb and organ. There's no saving you now!"

"Little Monster, should we show ourselves now?"

"No rush. Wait until he can no longer endure it." Yu Zhi answered calmly.

Fugaku Uchiha knew something was wrong and wanted to rise and leave, but an intense numbness had already spread through his body. His limbs felt as heavy as if they had been filled with lead. No matter how hard he exerted himself, he could not move.

Before long, just like the other clansmen, even remaining on his feet became incomparably difficult.

After a brief moment of panic, he quickly calmed down and came to a conclusion: this was not a lethal poison. Its purpose was only to leave us numb and powerless.

Someone must be watching from the shadows!

But when were we poisoned?

"Friend, it is time for you to come out, isn't it?"

He called out in a deep voice, but the surroundings remained deathly silent. There was no response whatsoever.

Fugaku Uchiha was both furious and anxious.

Damn it! Why are they being so cautious?

Several breaths later, the poison completely drained the strength from his body. His breathing gradually grew heavy, and he could no longer hold on.

"Worthy of being the clan head! You lasted so long!"

Yu Zhi slowly emerged from the shadows, his tone carrying a hint of praise.

Fugaku Uchiha stared fixedly at the boy before him. His gaze finally settled on those eyes, where scarlet patterns swirled, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

"The Sharingan... You are also a member of the Uchiha Clan?"

Yu Zhi swept his gaze over the Uchiha clansmen throughout the area. All of them had been poisoned, their bodies numb and powerless, able only to glare at him with their eyes. He spoke calmly.

"That's right. You may call me by my former name, Yao Uchiha."

Of course, that name had been made up!

The story he had prepared was that he was a survivor from the night Itachi Uchiha exterminated the clan!

It was perfectly normal for him to have an Uchiha name!

Of course, changing his name afterward was normal too!

"Yao, is it? You had been hiding there the entire time? What an impressive concealment Ninjutsu!"

Fugaku Uchiha did not hurry to ask about his intentions. Instead, he probed for information, trying to stall for time.

"Clan Head, stop trying to delay things!"

Yu Zhi exposed his thoughts in a single sentence and did not answer his question.

As for how he had managed to poison Fugaku Uchiha, a Ninja in his nineties, it was naturally thanks to the support of the First Worship and Second Worship!

The two Soul Skills of the 100,000-Year Golden Crocodile King's Right Arm Bone.

The first was Silent Shadow Breath Concealment. When activated, it completely concealed one's Soul Power, bloodline, and even all signs of life, perfectly blending into darkness and the environment. All spiritual detection and aura sensing became ineffective. Even experts far above one's own level could not notice it. It could even conceal Dugu Bo's presence as well.

The second was Crocodile King Death Strike. While in a concealed state, it could launch an instant, lightning-fast assault. The right arm transformed into the savage, enormous jaws of the Golden Crocodile King, snapping down with primordial ferocity. Its armor-piercing power was tremendous, enough to crush hard Spirit Bones and tear through layer upon layer of energy defenses.

He guessed that this set of Spirit Bone skills probably originated from how crocodiles hunted prey—sudden attacks!

Although it did not have the percentage-based enhancement he had been longing for, this Soul Skill suited a scheming bastard like him even better!

Seeing that his intentions had been seen through, Fugaku Uchiha stopped beating around the bush and questioned him sharply.

"The Nine-Tails Incident—were you the mastermind behind it?"

Yu Zhi naturally would not take the blame. He replied directly.

"Of course not. I do not have that kind of strength! He did it to take revenge on Konoha, while I am doing this to save the Uchiha Clan!"

Fugaku Uchiha sneered. "By poisoning all the Uchiha elite? Is that how you plan to save us?"

"And you keep calling me Clan Head. You are one of my clansmen, yet I have never seen you before! You are so young, and you have already awakened your eyes. There is no way I would have no impression of you!"

"Clan Head, I understand the Uchiha Clan, especially the Hawk Faction. You are all a bunch of lunatics! If I did not poison every one of you, why would you listen to a brat like me?"

Yu Zhi said with a faint smile.

As soon as those words were spoken, aside from Fugaku Uchiha secretly agreeing, the other Uchiha members of the Hawk Faction could not speak, but the anger in their eyes grew several degrees stronger!

"State your purpose." After a moment of silence, Fugaku Uchiha said in a deep voice.

"Wait a moment."

Yu Zhi suddenly raised his hand to stop the conversation and turned toward a secluded direction.

Not long afterward, a familiar figure slowly approached. Dugu Bo made his unhurried entrance, casually dragging along two Ninjas with feeble auras.

"Those are Root Ninjas! You have no idea what you are doing!"

Fugaku Uchiha immediately berated him. He had not expected Yu Zhi to directly attack the people Root had sent to monitor them!

This was no different from declaring war directly on Danzo!
