After tossing the two pieces of trash from the Uchiha Clan outside the village, Lu Yu's eyes flickered with uncertainty. After a moment of thought, he decided to walk back into the village.
Inside Root, Danzo felt that terrifying aura vanish. In a great mood, he couldn't help but open a bottle of wine to have a drink.
The usually gloomy Danzo, with his sinister and conflicted face, wore a rare smile of relief.
Finally, that terrifying Uchiha Clan had been wiped out.
In recent years, the Uchiha Clan's strength had grown increasingly formidable, especially with Uchiha Shisui, who possessed the strongest genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami; the infinitely talented Uchiha Itachi; and Uchiha Fugaku, who wielded the Mangekyo Sharingan.
The existence of these three individuals had elevated the Uchiha Clan's power by more than just a single tier.
If these three were to join forces in a rebellion, even if the entire village pooled its strength, the odds of victory would be, at best, a toss-up.
Yet, in such a dire situation, Danzo had managed to resolve the threat of all three without shedding a drop of his own blood, relying solely on his step-by-step schemes.
At this moment, Danzo felt immensely proud.
What did the Mangekyo matter? What did Kotoamatsukami matter? In the end, hadn't it all worked out in his favor?
Danzo thought smugly that even the First Hokage and the Second Hokage would not have handled this situation as well as he had.
After all, he had dealt with three super-powered combatants and eliminated Konoha's greatest source of instability without wasting a single soldier.
From here on out, Konoha would have no more worries, and Danzo was ninety percent certain he would seize the position of Hokage. Thinking of this, Danzo couldn't help but laugh:
"Haha, Hiruzen, the position of Hokage will be mine sooner or later. Your inaction and foolish kindness will be your greatest weaknesses."
Just then, a cold voice drifted from the darkness:
"That's still ten thousand times better than being cold-blooded, heartless, and scheming all day long!"
Danzo's expression changed instantly upon hearing this, and he looked toward the shadow like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Who was this? This was his own headquarters! The intruder had managed to reach him without making a sound—what had happened to his subordinates?
"Guards! Kill this bastard! Guards? Guards!"
Danzo roared several times, yet not a single person responded.
The next moment, a spherical object suddenly appeared in front of Danzo.
Danzo looked at it instinctively, and then a blinding light erupted—a light so dazzling that it left him completely blind for a short time.
In an instant, Danzo realized he was in trouble!
However, it was already too late!
Lu Yu flashed in front of Danzo the next moment, his right fist sweeping across to strike him squarely on the temple.
The force of the blow sent Danzo flying backward, where he slammed heavily into a nearby wall.
At that moment, it felt as if someone were banging on drums inside Danzo's head. He rolled his eyes back and fainted without uttering a single word.
Lu Yu pried Danzo out of the wall with one hand and casually stripped off Danzo's clothes to wrap them around his head.
Then, Lu Yu grabbed Danzo by the ankle and dragged him outside like a dead dog.
Half an hour later, Lu Yu stripped Danzo completely bare and kicked him into the women's restroom.
After finishing this, Lu Yu finally let out a long breath. Having beaten the culprits to a pulp, he felt much better.
If it weren't for the fact that these people were being kept for Naruto and Sasuke to practice on later, they would have died dozens of times over, given Lu Yu's temper.
As a seasoned slacker, he preferred not to act, but when he did, he had to cut the weeds and dig up the roots.
However, for the sake of his little brothers, Lu Yu felt that occasionally breaking his principles was acceptable.
Taking a step back, even if these people became truly intolerable in the future, it wouldn't be a big deal to deal with them then.
Lu Yu looked toward Sasuke's direction with some concern, sighed helplessly, and walked home.
Upon returning home, Lu Yu looked at his parents and Shikamaru, whom he had knocked unconscious, and tiptoed over to place them gently on their beds, tucking them in.
After doing all this, Lu Yu stretched, then drifted off into a hazy sleep.
A long night passed. The next morning, when Danzo woke up to find himself lying naked in the women's restroom, he was so angry he nearly shattered his teeth.
Glancing at the rising sun, Danzo scratched his head in frustration.
If he had woken up an hour earlier, everyone would still have been asleep, and he could have just run back; at this hour, it was a bit troublesome.
Just as Danzo was feeling conflicted, a delicate woman's voice drifted in from outside.
Danzo's face changed immediately. Countless plans raced through his mind, and finally, gritting his teeth, he bolted out of the women's restroom and scrambled onto the roof amidst the shrieks of several women.
The villagers watched as Danzo scurried across the rooftops, stark naked, and couldn't help but shake their heads.
"His bird is so small, yet he's a peeping tom. He's probably got some kind of hidden ailment. Poor guy..."
"Brother, wait! I have some Vajra Strength Pill here, specifically for men's health..."
"Tsk tsk, he runs fast enough. A ninja sneaking into a women's restroom in the middle of the night—you really see all sorts of people these days."
Half an hour later, the news of a middle-aged perverted ninja visiting the women's restroom spread rapidly throughout Konoha Village.
While people lamented the decline of morals and the loss of traditional values, they soon received another chilling piece of news.
The Uchiha Clan, which had been as famous as the Senju Clan and known for its countless geniuses, had become history overnight.
And the culprit behind all of this was none other than Uchiha Itachi!
From that moment on, the upper echelons of Konoha immediately classified Uchiha Itachi as an S-rank missing-nin, marking his threat level as the highest possible.
The news that Uchiha Itachi had single-handedly annihilated the Uchiha Clan spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the ninja world in an incredibly short amount of time.
Inside the Uchiha Clan compound, countless ninjas were busy clearing the scene. When the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, arrived and beheld the horrific sight before him, he could not help but gasp in shock...
