This Strike Is Because You Broke The Table Leg

Lu Yu looked at Obito, who had reached his limit, and directly released the Shadow Possession Jutsu.

At this point, let alone running, it was questionable whether Obito could even manage to crawl away.

Lu Yu kicked aside some nearby debris and bent down to pick up a long watermelon knife.

He then dragged the long blade, walking step by step toward Obito; the rhythmic thud of his soles against the ground sounded incredibly heavy.

In this night ravaged by howling winds, those heavy footsteps felt like they were trampling directly on a heart, creating a suffocating sense of oppression that made Obito feel agonizingly uncomfortable, to the point where even breathing became difficult.

At this moment, Obito could clearly hear his own heartbeat and his ragged, heavy breathing.

Watching Lu Yu approach him step by step, Obito's heart sank to the bottom of a valley.

Ten meters, eight meters... one meter!

Heh, am I destined to die here after all?

Obito smiled self-deprecatingly. In the end, this is all I amount to. Rin, I'm coming to see you.

Lu Yu dragged the watermelon knife to a stop in front of Obito, a flash of disdain crossing his eyes as he looked at the man's expression.

Want to die? Keep dreaming...

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

BANG!

Lu Yu swung the watermelon knife, slamming the flat of the blade solidly against Obito's face.

The impact sent Obito flying, crashing heavily into a wall ten meters away before he slowly slid to the ground.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Obito spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly having sustained serious injuries.

"This strike is because you made Naruto lose his parents from the moment he was born!"

BANG!

Lu Yu gave him no chance to recover, and under Obito's desperate gaze, the flat of the blade slammed into his face once more.

"This strike is because you wantonly released the Nine-Tails and caused countless people to die miserable deaths!"

BANG!

"This strike is because you wantonly slaughtered Sasuke's kin!"

BANG!

"This strike..."

BANG!

Three minutes later, Lu Yu looked at the dying Obito, his brows furrowed as if he were trying to think of an excuse to keep beating him.

Suddenly, Lu Yu spotted a broken table leg beneath Obito and said viciously:

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

Obito subconsciously glanced at the table leg beneath him, his face full of confusion, and he couldn't help but retort:

"Th-this table leg... if you count it up, you were the one who broke it, right?"

"Less talk, take this!"

BANG!!!

This time, Obito was sent flying high into the air, spinning a dozen times before crashing heavily to the ground several seconds later, his teeth knocked out and his eyes rolling back as he passed out.

Lu Yu tossed the watermelon knife aside and muttered:

"Killing the parents of my little brother Naruto, slaughtering the kin of my little brother Sasuke—if it weren't for the fact that you're still somewhat useful, would I have let you live this long?"

With that, Lu Yu walked over to Obito, grabbed him by one leg, and began dragging him toward Sasuke's house like a dead dog...

On the other side, Sasuke looked around with a face full of terror. It was too frightening; the outside world was simply too terrifying, with the corpses of his clansmen everywhere.

Sasuke's legs trembled as he returned home. The moment he stepped through the door, a thick, pungent scent of blood hit his nose.

No, that's impossible!

Father is the clan head; it's impossible, it simply cannot be!

Sasuke tried to convince himself while gathering the courage to walk toward the rooms.

It took him a full minute to cover the short three-meter distance from the courtyard gate to the room.

Staring at the familiar door, Sasuke swallowed hard, his hands trembling as he slowly slid the door open.

Whoosh...

The moment the door opened, Sasuke was so terrified by the scene before him that he collapsed onto his backside. In that instant, all his fantasies were shattered.

Before him lay the intertwined corpses of his parents, and the dark purple blood on the floor indicated that they had been dead for quite some time.

"No, it's impossible! Father, Mother... what, what happened to you? Please, don't scare me like this!"

Sasuke rushed toward the corpses of Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto like a madman, sobbing uncontrollably, completely unable to believe what was before his eyes.

Sasuke held their bodies and wept for a full ten minutes before he suddenly froze, wiped the tears from his eyes, and looked around with suspicion and dread.

Where was his brother?

He didn't see his brother's body; did that mean his brother was still alive?

Just then, a tall, dark shadow appeared in the doorway. Sasuke instinctively took a step back, but when he realized the person was his brother, the emotions in his heart could no longer be contained.

Tears fell uncontrollably as Sasuke looked at Uchiha Itachi and wailed:

"Brother, Father, Mother, and so many of our clansmen—they're all dead! Someone killed them all!"

Uchiha Itachi looked at Sasuke with an indifferent expression and said calmly:

"I know."

"You know?"

Sasuke was stunned. Looking at Uchiha Itachi's calm face, for some reason, a sudden, ominous premonition gripped his heart.

"Because... I was the one who killed them all!"
