This Blow Was Because You Broke the Table Leg

Lu Yu released the Shadow Possession Jutsu, seeing that Uchiha Obito had reached his limit.

At this point, Uchiha Obito couldn't even run. It was doubtful he could get back on his feet.

Lu Yu gently kicked aside the rubble, bent down, and picked up a long watermelon knife.

Then Lu Yu dragged the long knife behind him and walked toward Uchiha Obito, step by step. The dull thuds of his shoes against the ground made each footfall sound unbearably heavy.

On this storm-lashed night, each heavy step seemed to fall right on Uchiha Obito's heart. The suffocating pressure made him feel awful, and even breathing became difficult.

At that moment, Uchiha Obito could clearly hear his own heartbeat and ragged breathing...

As Lu Yu approached one step at a time, Uchiha Obito's heart sank to the bottom.

Ten meters, eight meters... one meter!

Heh. So I really am going to die here?

Uchiha Obito laughed bitterly at himself. In the end, this was all he amounted to. Rin, I'm coming to see you.

Lu Yu dragged the knife up to Uchiha Obito and studied his expression, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

You want to die? Not a chance...

"I can't be bothered to expose who you are. I just want to tell you that this blow is because you invaded Konoha and harmed the Fourth Hokage and Uzumaki Kushina!"

Bang!

Lu Yu swung the watermelon knife and slammed its flat side squarely into Uchiha Obito's face.

The blow sent Uchiha Obito flying. He crashed heavily into a wall ten meters away, then slowly slid down.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Uchiha Obito opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was clearly badly injured.

"This blow is because you made Naruto grow up without his parents!"

Bang!

Lu Yu gave him no chance to recover. As Uchiha Obito stared in despair, the flat side of the knife slammed into his face again.

"This blow is because you recklessly unleashed the Nine-Tails, causing countless people to die!"

Bang!

"This blow is because you slaughtered Sasuke's clansmen!"

Bang!

"This blow..."

Bang!

Three minutes later, Lu Yu looked at Obito, who was barely clinging to life, and furrowed his brow, apparently trying to think of another excuse to beat him.

Suddenly, Lu Yu noticed half a broken table leg beneath Uchiha Obito. He glared at Obito and said:

"This blow is because you broke the table leg!"

Uchiha Obito instinctively glanced at the table leg beneath him, looking utterly bewildered. He couldn't help but protest:

"Th-this table leg... if you think about it, you're the one who broke it, aren't you?"

"Quit whining. Take this!"

BANG!!!

This time, Obito was sent soaring into the air. He spun more than ten times, losing several teeth before crashing heavily to the ground seconds later. His eyes rolled back, and he passed out.

Lu Yu casually tossed the watermelon knife aside and muttered:

"You killed my little brother Naruto's parents and slaughtered my little brother Sasuke's clansmen. If I didn't still have some use for you, would I have let you live this long?"

Then Lu Yu walked over to Obito, grabbed him by one leg, and dragged him toward Sasuke's house like a dead dog...

Meanwhile, Sasuke looked around in terror. It was awful—outside was truly terrifying. Corpses of his clansmen were everywhere.

Sasuke's legs trembled as he returned home. The moment he stepped inside, the strong stench of blood reached his nose.

No, impossible!

Dad was the clan head. It couldn't be true. It couldn't!

Sasuke tried to convince himself as he gathered his courage and walked toward the room.

The distance from the courtyard entrance to the room was only three meters, yet it took Sasuke a full minute to cross it.

Staring at the familiar door, Sasuke swallowed with difficulty. His hands trembling, he slowly pulled it open.

Whoosh...

The moment the door opened, Sasuke was so horrified by what he saw that he dropped to the floor. All his hopes shattered in an instant.

Before him lay his parents' bodies, sprawled across each other. The dark-purple blood on the floor showed that they had been dead for some time.

"No, impossible! Dad, Mom... what happened to you? Please, don't scare me!"

Sasuke rushed to the bodies of Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto and burst into tears. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Sasuke clung to their bodies and wept for a full ten minutes. Then he suddenly froze, wiped the tears from his eyes, and looked around in uncertainty.

Where was his brother?

He couldn't see his brother's body. Did that mean his brother was still alive?

Just then, a tall shadow appeared in the doorway. Sasuke instinctively stepped back. When he saw that it was his brother, he could no longer hold back his feelings.

Tears streamed uncontrollably down Sasuke's face as he wailed at Itachi:

"Brother, Dad, Mom, and so many of our clansmen... they're all dead! They were all killed!"

Uchiha Itachi looked at Sasuke with cold indifference and said calmly:

"I know."

"You know?"

Sasuke froze. He looked at Uchiha Itachi's calm expression, and for some reason, a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

"Because... I killed them all!"
