Konoha F4 Annihilated

Konoha Ninja Academy.

Iruka Umino held the roster and read aloud, "All right, form the Reconciliation Seal. Next match, Sasuke versus—"

Before he could finish, he saw a red signal flare rise from the direction of the Hokage Building. The roster slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a slap, and his expression changed abruptly.

Sasuke had just coolly taken two steps out of the crowd with his hands in his pockets. Noticing the change in Iruka Umino's expression, he looked over in surprise and saw the red signal flare shooting into the sky as well.

"Teacher, who's Sasuke fighting? Is it me? Is it me?"

Naruto had only heard Iruka Umino announce half of it and not the name of Sasuke's opponent. He immediately fidgeted anxiously at the side, asking over and over.

Iruka Umino ignored him and merely said, "Students, the drill is suspended. Return to your classrooms immediately!"

As he spoke, he exchanged glances with the teachers from the other classes, then hurried toward the Hokage Building in tacit understanding.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes at the red smoke spreading through the sky, vaguely sensing that this seemed to be connected to his father, who had previously taken the clan members away.

It was not just the Ninja Academy. Throughout the village, figures were rushing toward the Hokage Building.

That red signal flare was like poking a hornet's nest. Countless Konoha ninja converged from every direction.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had just come downstairs when he saw a sight that made his eyes split with rage: Uchiha Fugaku plunged a blade into Danzo's heart!

"Stop!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen only had time to shout once before he saw Uchiha Fugaku raise his head and give him a contemptuous glance. Then, with another slash, he cut off Danzo's head and kicked it to his feet like a football.

Looking at his old friend's head, eyes still open in death and missing one eye, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt fury rise within him. His trembling hand pointed at Uchiha Fugaku as he demanded, "Y-you... have you lost your mind, Fugaku? Do you understand what you're doing?! Killing Konoha's high-ranking officials—you're dragging the Uchiha Clan into hell!"

Dragging them into hell? If I did nothing, that would be going to hell!

Takuya, who knew the plot well, sneered. According to the original course of events, the Uchiha Clan would be exterminated tonight, leaving Sasuke Uchiha as the sole survivor.

"Shimura Danzo murdered Shisui and stole our clan's Sharingan. The evidence is conclusive. He deserved to die."

Takuya spoke coldly, took out the arm he had severed earlier, sliced open its bandages with his blade, and threw it before Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at it and found that it was indeed Danzo's arm—a deathly pale limb with several activated Three-Tomoe Sharingan embedded in its skin.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression darkened. He immediately recognized the arm as a product of Hashirama Cells. He had long forbidden human experimentation, yet Danzo had been bold enough to not only transplant them into himself, but also implant the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan!

As for murdering Shisui, Danzo might truly have done it!

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that Fugaku had not lied to him.

"You fool! If you felt wronged, you could have talked to me! Why did you have to kill a Hokage advisor on your own?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said earnestly.

"Stop now. There's still time to make things right."

Sarutobi Hiruzen urged him.

Before Takuya could speak, two figures came down the stairs. They were Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, who had come down a step later.

Seeing her old friend's head lying on the ground with his eyes still open, Utatane Koharu collapsed in fright. The next instant, as though trying to conceal her cowardice, she scrambled up, rushed before Uchiha Fugaku, pointed at him, and shrieked, "Uchiha Fugaku, are you rebelling?! You actually dared to kill Danzo! You reb—"

Takuya did not give her the chance to finish. With a single slash, he cut off her head.

Unless the four scourges—Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Danzo—were dead, he could not take control of Konoha.

Only after they died could he secure the position of Hokage.

"Ah!"

Mitokado Homura cried out in horror at the sight.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils contracted.

He stared into Takuya's cold, sharp eyes. Those intricate patterns seemed to transport him back decades, to when Madara was still alive. How similar they were to Madara's eyes!

The moment he noticed those eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen's scalp went numb. His heart pounded like a drum, and the pressure on him multiplied!

So that was it!

In an instant, he understood many things. No wonder Uchiha Fugaku had dared to act. He possessed eyes just like Madara's! Those evil and incomparably powerful eyes!

The Mangekyou Sharingan!

His gaze toward Uchiha Fugaku filled with extreme wariness.

"This is bad!"

Cold sweat beaded on Sarutobi Hiruzen's forehead as a sense of foreboding rose within him.

A great crisis!

Though he did not want to admit it, he was truly afraid!

Sarutobi Hiruzen secretly pinched the flesh of his thigh. His legs had gone weak!

Even during Nine-Tails Night, he had never felt a situation this troublesome.

As Mitokado Homura watched Uchiha Fugaku walk toward them, terror overwhelmed him. He called Hiruzen's name in a low voice, only to discover in horror that Hiruzen showed no reaction at all!

He watched helplessly as Uchiha Fugaku cut off Hiruzen's head with one slash.

"Too weak."

Takuya curled his lips. "Your turn."

He looked at the last remaining member of Konoha F4 and revealed a faint smile.

He truly had not expected it to go so smoothly. Sarutobi Hiruzen possessed the Reaper Death Seal, a technique that could trade lives with anyone below the Sage level, so Takuya had not wasted time with him or given him the opportunity to use it. He had directly used Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto to turn him into a fool, then killed him with ease.

Sarutobi Hiruzen probably had never imagined that he would not even get the chance to use the Reaper Death Seal!

Seeing Uchiha Fugaku's demonic smile, Mitokado Homura rolled his eyes back and fainted from fright.

Takuya paused, then shook his head. How long had this old man Mitokado Homura gone without fighting? He had actually become this cowardly.

Having people like this running Konoha was truly the tragedy of the village.

He then stepped forward and finished him off.

The Uchiha clansmen watched their clan head descend like a god and slaughter the four high-ranking officials, including the Third Hokage, as easily as cutting vegetables. Their hearts were already so exhilarated that they could barely contain themselves. Sarutobi Hiruzen, hailed as the strongest Hokage in history, had been effortlessly killed by their clan head. If not for the pride of being Uchiha, they would have already shouted in celebration.

Clan Head, you're incredible!

One after another, they stared at Takuya with burning eyes. At this moment, even if Takuya ordered them to die, they would probably carry out his command without hesitation.

Uchiha Sihu clicked his tongue inwardly. The Third Hokage had fallen for it after just one exchange, standing motionless as Fugaku cut off his head. Were these truly eyes comparable to Lord Madara's? They were this powerful...

Then he grew excited again. Had the era belonging to the Uchiha Clan finally arrived?!!!

"Clan Head, people are coming from outside!"

An Uchiha clansman who had been keeping watch outside ran into the hall and reported loudly.
