Bounty Notice 1

Konoha's ninja gradually received the news as well. Most ordinary ninja were naturally plunged into shock and fear. Such a brutal clan extermination taking place in Konoha, bathed in the Will of Fire, was simply too horrifying. No one could believe that something like this could happen in such a beautiful and harmonious Konoha.

Once they gradually learned that Uchiha Youxing was the culprit, however, they felt little sympathy. What they felt instead was anger and fear.

The inherently evil Uchiha were indeed terrifying beyond measure. They could even slaughter their own clansmen. The thought that such demons had been living among them sent chills down everyone's spines.

Even more ninja from other clans swarmed into the Uchiha Clan compound to loot it, carrying away everything of value.

Of course, the most precious things to them were the essence of the Uchiha Clan's inheritance: all kinds of ninjutsu scrolls, cultivation manuals, secret texts on chakra comprehension and application, and so on.

The accumulated legacy of a clan spanning nearly a thousand years was now entirely divided among Konoha's various clans. Once it fell, all things flourished.

After the corpses of the Uchiha Clan had been buried in Konoha's back mountain, several enormous earthen mounds stood there. Anyone passing by without knowing the truth would think it was merely uneven ground. No one would know it was a mass grave holding a thousand people, showing just how perfunctory and careless Konoha was toward their final resting place.

Everyone responsible for the matter belonged to Root. Once they returned, special secret techniques would erase this memory from their minds. From then on, no one in Konoha would know where the Uchiha Clan members had been buried.

The only two people who knew the whereabouts of the Uchiha Clan's corpses were the Third Hokage and Supreme Danzo. That was why no one could ever find the missing Uchiha.

Though no one in Konoha cared where the Uchiha were buried anyway.

Earth Release: Earth Opening!

Behind one of the massive earthen mounds, the soft soil tore open into a small gap, and a youth crawled out.

Uchiha Feiyun slumped onto the ground and tossed the Konoha ninja's ID tag from his chest back into the crack, then hurriedly covered the opening again.

There shouldn't be anyone nearby anymore, right?

Uchiha Feiyun had sensed everyone leaving earlier. Only then had he crawled out of the grave.

Still, Uchiha Feiyun was not reassured. He carefully scanned the area again, and only after confirming that no one was around did he begin erasing the traces behind him as he moved away.

He did not dare take any chances. If Konoha's people returned and discovered traces of someone leaving, he would be hunted to death.

Only after Uchiha Feiyun had moved several hundred meters away from the hill did he stop clearing his tracks.

He turned to look at the huge graves and said softly, "Sorry. I already tried earlier. I can only repair my own body—I can't save you."

"Though I really wanted to set up a memorial tablet for you, the circumstances don't allow it."

After speaking, Uchiha Feiyun turned toward Konoha.

"You old bastards of Konoha—Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Obito—I will repay this debt a hundredfold someday."

Uchiha Feiyun fled in the direction away from Konoha for two days and two nights. He was slow, but cautious enough.

Before crawling out, Uchiha Feiyun had already reinstalled his Three-Tomoe Sharingan and used his Level 60 Spiritual Power to repair the visual nerves and injuries in his eyes.

The reason he moved so slowly was that he found his body difficult to control. His mind felt full of energy, but his body was sluggish.

As Uchiha Feiyun walked along the mountain path, he pondered his condition. Had his body not fully recovered, or had he lost too much blood earlier?

That made sense. Blood was the driving force behind every function of the human body. After losing so much blood, his body was bound to suffer.

Uchiha Feiyun stopped traveling. Instead, he took out a storage scroll, summoned food and water, and began eating slowly.

It had to be said that although the original owner's talent had been mediocre, he had been a cautious and thoughtful person. He had prepared all kinds of supplies thoroughly.

After eating and drinking his fill, Uchiha Feiyun found a cave and slept for the night.

His mind had remained taut throughout this long escape, and he had not had a good night's sleep in a long time. The moment he finished setting up and lay down, he fell asleep instantly.

After several days of recuperation, Uchiha Feiyun's body had indeed improved considerably. He arrived at a small town and bought several hooded trench coats.

He did not dare take risks now. If anyone recognized him as an Uchiha, he would be dead for sure. He did not believe the people behind Konoha would let him go.

After spending several days sleeping in the wilderness, Uchiha Feiyun wanted to find an inn, take a proper bath, and get some rest.

But after asking about the price, he left the inn.

He was truly out of money.

This won't do. I need to find a way to make some money. Otherwise, forget revenge—even my basic survival will become a problem.

Uchiha Feiyun rubbed his chin as he walked down the street, pondering his next path.

I have the Three-Tomoe Sharingan now. With my eye power and strength, I should barely count as a Sage, right?

Maybe I can try taking on a commissioned mission to earn a reward.

As Uchiha Feiyun considered where to make money, something suddenly came to mind. Bounty Exchange?

That was right. The original owner had completed many missions before and had encountered this most unusual and mysterious organization in the Shinobi World. As long as one had money, anyone could post a bounty—and anyone could become a bounty target.

It was clearly an organization of hired assassins, yet it had branches spread throughout the Shinobi World.
