Orochimaru Appears in Konoha

.

"No, I just wanted to take back his body and give him a proper burial!"

As soon as Xuan Yu finished speaking, Uzuki Yugao felt his gaze fall upon her, and her body instantly stiffened.

Xuan Yu seemed deeply dissatisfied with her answer.

So, she hurriedly explained:

"He chose Sarutobi Hiruzen's side. That was his choice. I chose neutrality. I tried to stop him just now, but he wouldn't listen to me!"

Uzuki Yugao was truly frightened. She was certain that if she said even one wrong word, she might end up like Gekko Hayate.

For her to die, all it would take was a single thought from Xuan Yu.

When had Xuan Yu become so terrifying? Or had he been hiding his strength all along?

Either way, Xuan Yu's strength had already surpassed everyone in Konoha's expectations.

"You'd better mean that, rather than choosing the Sarutobi Clan's side!" Xuan Yu left those words behind and turned to leave.

No one else

dared to stop him again. They could only watch him leave in terror.

Uzuki Yugao finally let out a sigh of relief, her body collapsing to the ground. Facing Xuan Yu just now had been utterly terrifying. It felt as though she could die at any moment.

That brief exchange of glances had felt like an entire day.

"Yugao!"

"Are you alright?!"

Two Anbu ninja walked over and helped Uzuki Yugao up. Watching Xuan Yu leave, they said furiously, "Uchiha Xuan Yu is far too arrogant! He actually dared to kill two Konoha ninja in a row! We need to report this to Hokage-sama and have him severely punish Xuan Yu!"

"I advise you not to get involved in this. This is between the Uchiha Clan and Sarutobi Hiruzen. We only need to quietly watch!" Uzuki Yugao
