Assassinating Shisui

Fusing Water Release and Earth Release chakra would only cost a hundred Pay-to-Win Points.

That way, he'd still have a hundred Pay-to-Win Points left.

He could fuse another Kekkei Genkai!

Or just do a hundred pulls in one go!

Wouldn't that be great?

"Exchange for 100 Pay-to-Win Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host! You've successfully exchanged for 100 Pay-to-Win Points! A fee of 1 Pay-to-Win Point has been charged!"

As expected, it had charged him another fee. Uchiha Yu felt a pang of pain in his heart.

But he'd figured out how the fee was calculated.

It seemed to cost 1 Pay-to-Win Point every time.

It still hurt, but at least it wasn't much.

"Fuse Water Release and Earth Release!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host! You've successfully fused the Kekkei Genkai: Wood Release!"

Uchiha Yu pressed his hands together.

As he poured chakra into the technique, a huge hole opened in the ground, and a towering tree slowly rose from it.

"With the amount of chakra I have, using Wood Release isn't difficult. I'm just nowhere near Senju Hashirama's level yet!"

宇智波羽深吸了一口气. Uchiha Yu took a deep breath.

He was still a long way from Senju Hashirama, but he was already stronger than Yamato.

The most important thing was that he was only seven years old. What more could he ask for?

If he kept growing, he was sure he'd soon be able to look down on a mini Senju Hashirama!

Beautiful!

... ...

Inside the Root Organization's base.

Shimura Danzō regarded the masked Root Organization member beside him with a knowing look.

"You mean the Uchiha Clan's compound was attacked?"

"That's right. I heard Uchiha Fugaku's second son, Uchiha Yu, was kidnapped, and the kidnappers eventually extorted two hundred thousand ryō!"

"The amount wasn't much, but the insult was clearly enormous." Shimura Danzō sneered. "If one nobody could throw the Uchiha Clan into such chaos, then they're nowhere near as formidable as we thought."

"What about Shisui..." The Root shinobi beside him narrowed his eyes.

"Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan could be called the most powerful genjutsu. Something like that can't be allowed to fall into the Uchiha Clan's hands! It must be under Root's control!"

Shimura Danzō clenched his fist, cruelty gleaming in his eyes.

"Pass on my orders. Get ready to move against Shisui!"

Shimura Danzō's motto was: Better to kill ten thousand by mistake than let a single one escape.

Since the Uchiha were clearly up to something, they couldn't be allowed to remain.

Even if Senju Hashirama climbed out of his grave right now, it wouldn't make a difference! That was that!

"Yes!"

The next day.

At the Ninja Academy.

Uchiha Yu was sleeping with his head on his desk, as usual.

Uchiha Sasuke and Hinata sat beside him, listening attentively to Iruka-sensei's lesson.

Two or three hours later, Uchiha Yu finally lifted his head from the desk, still groggy.

"What are we up to?" Uchiha Yu mumbled, rubbing his eyes.

"The basics of chakra extraction and control." Uchiha Sasuke glanced at Uchiha Yu.

"What? This is all child's play."

Uchiha Yu said with a yawn.

For ordinary shinobi, extracting chakra required a certain amount of skill.

Extracting too much at once would waste the excess chakra, but extracting too little would make it impossible to perform a jutsu.

So for new shinobi, this wasn't an easy lesson.

But Uchiha Yu had more chakra than a grown Chunin—by more than ten times.

He didn't need to worry about that at all.

"Yeah. Big brother Itachi and big brother Shisui have known all this for ages." Uchiha Sasuke sighed. "I heard this morning that Shisui left the village on a new mission. I wonder when he'll be back."

Sasuke had said it without a second thought, but Yu took notice.

"What? Uchiha Shisui left the village?"

Uchiha Yu's heart lurched.

Uchiha Shisui had left the village at a critical moment like this?

Shit! Had Shimura Danzō made his move early?

It was about a week earlier than in the original story.

It seemed his presence had caused a few butterfly effects after all.

It had made Danzō act sooner.

"Iruka-sensei! I need to use the bathroom!"

Uchiha Yu hurriedly made an excuse and ran out.

He went straight back to the Uchiha compound, changed into black clothes, stuffed two height-increasing insoles into his shoes, and immediately ran out of Konoha.

If something happened to Uchiha Shisui, the Uchiha Clan would be as good as half buried.

Without such a powerful shinobi, the Uchiha would surely postpone their coup.

And if they postponed it, Itachi would massacre the clan!

Now that he was nearly strong enough, he had to turn the tide!

... ...

Outside Konoha.

Uchiha Shisui looked at the unfamiliar Anbu around him, sensing that something was wrong.

Danzō stepped in front of Uchiha Shisui.

"Shisui, this mission is extremely important. The fate of the entire village depends on it!"

Shimura Danzō gave a chuckle and spoke with feigned kindness.

"Danzō-sama, what exactly is the mission?" Uchiha Shisui asked with a frown.

Uchiha Shisui knew that Shimura Danzō had designs on the Uchiha Clan.

"Uchiha Itachi has more important matters to attend to. You'll follow my orders now."

Shimura Danzō slowly reached behind his back.

Uchiha Shisui narrowed his eyes, his Sharingan fixed on Shimura Danzō.

The Uchiha compound had been attacked the day before, and the clan had been abuzz with speculation.

Could Shimura Danzō really have been behind it?

Shimura Danzō approached Shisui with a sneer. "I'm going to make sure I arrange this mission properly for you..."

Before he could finish, Shimura Danzō's expression changed abruptly. He thrust a hand toward Uchiha Shisui's eyes.

"Hand over your eyes! You Uchiha traitor!"

Uchiha Shisui's heart lurched, but luckily, he'd seen this coming.

He whipped out his Ninja Blade and slashed a deep gash into Shimura Danzō's arm.

"Damn you, Danzō! You betrayed me first!"

Uchiha Shisui immediately leaped back, trying to evade the shinobi around him.

Danzō formed Hand Seals with one hand.

"Izanagi!"

He'd long been planning to wipe out the Uchiha.

That was why he'd had a Sharingan transplanted long ago.

In an instant, everything around Uchiha Shisui began to change.

He found himself standing in front of Danzō once more.

This time, Danzō drew his Ninja Blade and plunged it into Uchiha Shisui's chest.

"Gah!"

宇智波止水口中一道鲜血喷溅. Blood sprayed from Uchiha Shisui's mouth.

"You had a Sharingan all along?"

Uchiha Shisui truly hadn't seen this coming.

Shimura Danzō reached for Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan, his expression blank.

"This power belongs to Konoha, not the Uchiha!" Shimura Danzō sneered.

This is bad... Uchiha Shisui looked at the Ninja Blade embedded in his chest, helplessness flickering in his eyes.

At that critical moment,

the ground beneath Shimura Danzō split open!

A pair of hands shot out from underground, grabbed Shimura Danzō's legs, and dragged him into the earth, leaving only his head exposed.

"Earth Release: Headhunter Jutsu!"

The next moment, Uchiha Yu leaped out.

He was dressed in black, and his Sharingan stood out clearly.

"You?"

Shisui froze.

Wasn't this the brat who'd kidnapped Uchiha Yu?
