"Stop pretending. Konoha doesn't have medical ninjas who are covered in killing intent."
Seeing the hostility on their faces, Yun Xi couldn't be bothered to play along.
He exposed their identities in one blunt sentence, then struck first!
"Heaven Curse Mark: State One!"
"Fire Style: Black Flame Technique!"
Yun Xi wasn't one to fuss over formalities. If he had the chance to strike first, he certainly wouldn't pass it up.
Taking advantage of the instant the Root Jonin across from him let his guard down, Yun Xi gave him no chance to react.
He entered the Heaven Curse Mark state and used the Black Flame Technique with lightning-fast Hand Seals.
"Damn it! Attack..."
Although the Anbu Jonin standing across from Yun Xi was an elite who had seen battle,
he had plenty of combat experience, but his reaction was still a beat too slow.
By the time he realized what was happening, Yun Xi's Black Flame Technique was already right in front of him.
"Earth Style:..."
The Root Jonin instinctively tried to defend himself, but it was too late.
The black flames, like dark ghosts, surged straight toward the enemy.
In just a few seconds, the murderous Root Jonin was reduced to a pile of ash...
"Too weak..."
Seeing that the other man couldn't even dodge his casual attack, Yun Xi couldn't help but sigh.
The gap in strength in this world was far greater than he had imagined.
Although they were both Jonin, Zabuza had at least been able to fight him.
But this no-name Jonin in front of him had been killed in an instant!
"Lord C!"
The other Root ninjas standing behind the Jonin saw what had happened.
Their faces were full of disbelief. They couldn't believe their enemy was this powerful.
He could even kill a Jonin in an instant...
"One and Two, split up and escape! Tell Lord Danzo what happened here. The rest of you, help me hold him off!"
But the Root ninjas who had taken part in this operation were no ordinary shinobi.
After seeing Yun Xi's formidable strength, one of the Chunin quickly reacted.
He immediately sent two Chunin to report what had happened to Lord Danzo.
Meanwhile, he and the rest only needed to give their lives to hold Yun Xi back.
"How naive..."
Yun Xi shook his head helplessly. With his strength, dealing with them would be child's play.
"Multi-Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
To avoid any mishaps, Yun Xi stopped holding back and used the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique.
At the same time, he attacked them head-on with the Great Fireball Technique.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"
Faced with the oncoming Fire Style attack, the Root Chunin tried to defend themselves with Water Release Ninjutsu.
But they had clearly underestimated Yun Xi's strength. Their Water Release couldn't stop his attack at all.
It only left a layer of mist in the area. It was otherwise completely useless.
Once the Great Fireball Technique dissipated, the ground was strewn with corpses...
The two Root Chunin who had fled ahead of the others were also caught and brought back by Yun Xi's clones.
"Can I ask who sent you to carry out this mission?"
Although Yun Xi already had an answer in mind, he still wanted to ask.
"Hmph!"
But the two surviving men were tough. Even after being captured by Yun Xi, they didn't reveal any vital information.
They only snorted and glared at Yun Xi with eyes that seemed to welcome death.
"You don't have to tell me. I already know. It was Danzo, right?"
Looking at the two Root Chunin, Yun Xi stopped beating around the bush.
He said Danzo's name outright.
The two Root Chunin's expressions changed dramatically.
At first, they'd been fearless after being captured. But when Yun Xi said Danzo's name, their faces filled with terror.
"Your expressions tell me I guessed right."
The only reason Yun Xi had asked the two Root Chunin was to confirm what he already suspected.
Even if they didn't say a word, Yun Xi knew Danzo had to be involved in this incident.
After all, he'd read the original story!
"You!"
Seeing Yun Xi's smile, the two Chunin realized something.
This terrifyingly powerful man had known their plan from the very beginning.
That was why he had attacked first...
"Shadow One, kill yourself..."
"Okay!"
As Yun Xi and the two Root Chunin stood in silence, the older of the two suddenly spoke.
Then they both bit down on the poison hidden inside their mouths.
By the time Yun Xi realized what was happening, it was already too late to stop them.
"Danzo's brainwashing really is terrifying..."
Looking at the two bodies at his feet, Yun Xi felt helpless.
He'd planned to spare their lives and hand them over to the Third Hokage once the Uchiha Clan Downfall Incident was over.
But he hadn't expected them to kill themselves without a second thought. They didn't care about their own lives at all...
Yun Xi had also planned to search them for anything that could prove they were Root shinobi.
But after searching their bodies, he found nothing but their Konoha medical-ninja uniforms and a few Shuriken.
There was nothing else, let alone anything that could prove their identities as Root shinobi.
"Damn, they're broke!"
Most importantly, Yun Xi discovered they didn't even have a single coin on them.
When he saw the result, Yun Xi felt helpless and a little irritated.
He'd gotten nothing out of this fight!
"I'd planned to surprise the Third Hokage, but I guess I'll forget it..."
Realizing that these men had nothing to offer him,
Yun Xi stopped paying attention to their bodies and walked over to the Uchiha clan member who had died earlier.
After all, Anbu would come to collect the bodies once the fighting was over.
There was no need for Yun Xi to meddle.
"May Buddha have mercy. I'll borrow your eyes..."
When he reached the Uchiha clan member's body, Yun Xi first offered a silent prayer.
Then he used a Shuriken to remove both Sharingan and tucked them into his clothes.
At the same time, the system's notification sounded again.
"Congratulations, host. You have obtained two Sharingan. Submit them?"
"No!"
After hearing the system's prompt, Yun Xi chose "No" without hesitation.
The task the system had issued only required him to collect Sharingan.
It didn't specify a particular quantity. Even one Sharingan would be enough to complete the task.
But Yun Xi wanted more than just the guaranteed reward from the task.
What he valued more was the reward for the Amaterasu enhancement task!
Each Sharingan would increase Amaterasu's power by one percent.
At least a hundred Uchiha clan members had died in this Uchiha Clan Massacre.
Even if some of them hadn't awakened their Sharingan,
Yun Xi estimated he could collect at least a hundred Sharingan!
