Uchiha Lunatic-Who Would Dare Provoke Him?

When Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were led to the reception room by their attendants, the palace renovations were still ongoing.

The craftsmen bustled about among the ruins, the air thick with the smells of fresh paint and burnt wood.

"Sit." The Daimyo pointed to the only intact table in front of him, while the screen behind him still had three parallel cracks.

Utatane Koharu noticed that the Daimyo's tea set had been changed to ordinary Celadon Porcelain instead of the gold-lacquered vessels that were used in the past.

Just as Mitokado Homura was about to speak, a sudden tremor came from afar.

Daimyo's hand trembled slightly, and tea spilled onto the table.

He casually wiped himself with his sleeve, but Utatane Koharu noticed the unopened Sedative Packet in his sleeve as she turned to her bedroom.

"Regarding the announcement," the Daimyo put down his teacup, "Let's proceed as Uchiha Yu suggested."

Mitokado Homura's fingers tightened on her knees. "But this will affect Konoha's prestige."

"Prestige?" Daimyo chuckled. "Five days ago, when the Nine-Tails was dancing on the palace roof, prestige had already shattered on the ground along with the tiles."

The Daimyo knows better than anyone what level Uchiha Yu is at right now.

The image of a nine-tailed fox demon riding a four -Nine-Tails tailed creature spinning and bombarding the barrier is something that Daimyo can dream about in less than ten minutes if he closes his eyes.

If you don't agree to his request, you never know what you'll be riding next time.

Even if Uchiha Yu didn't save the Daimyo's life, just based on his level of strength, the Daimyo would have to consider his proposal.

What's more, this kid is a Uchiha Lunatic.

What can we do then? Just go with the flow!

What do Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi's reputations have to do with my Daimyo?

"Boom--"

Suddenly, another tremor, like a heavy object falling to the ground, came from the courtyard.

Through the tattered paper door, one could see Uchiha Yu, his body enveloped in red chakra, assuming a strange posture, as if he were practicing some kind of Ninjutsu.

"A public announcement will be issued tomorrow." The Daimyo pushed the document in front of the two men. "This is an order, not a discussion."

When Utatane Koharu, her hand trembled slightly.

After signing the papers, the two got up to say goodbye.

"Let's go," Mitokado Homura said in a low voice. "This place is no longer something we can control."

Utatane Koharu took one last look at the dilapidated palace and sighed.

The descriptions of Yamato and Mitarashi Anko are already quite accurate.

The two Konoha Senior Advisor reached a conclusion.

Uchiha Yu – Kage Level strength, complex abilities, capable of both offense and defense, and no one can stop him from running away if he wants to.

Because he can fly.

The most crucial and fatal point is that this guy is an Uchiha.

If he develops a mental illness and one day he rides Tailed Beast and fires at Konoha's barrier, who can we rely on to use the Reaper Death Seal?

On the morning the announcement was released, the square in the Capital City of the Land of Fire was packed with people.

When the document was posted on the Notice Board, gasps of surprise erupted from the crowd.

"Brainwashed Ninja willingly participate in Human Experimentation?"

"To kill the donkey after it has served its purpose, and to harm the entire clan, men, women, and children?"

"And these, and these too."

"Konoha is too dark!"

The whispers quickly escalated into a heated debate. Some people angrily tore at their clothes, some knelt down and wept, and many more were bewildered and at a loss.

This announcement not only revealed part of the "truth," but also shattered their trust in Konoha over the years.

In a cave outside Amegakure, Itachi Uchiha was wiping Kunai when his hand, which was so white it was almost inhuman, suddenly stopped.

Jūzō Biwa walked in holding a notice, a playful smile on his face, "Interesting news, Itachi."

Itachi took the announcement, his gaze lingering on the words.

When he saw his father's name, his fingers tightened slightly, and the edges of the paper wrinkled slightly.

Those memories he had buried deep within him suddenly resurfaced: his father's last pat on the shoulder, his mother straightening his collar, the expectant gazes of his clansmen.

"Want to go back to Konoha for a visit?" Jūzō Biwa grinned. "Maybe I'll run into your younger brother."

Itachi did not answer, but turned and walked towards the cave entrance, his clothes soaked by the rain.

Thunder rumbled in the distance, as if mocking his persistence.

He gazed towards the Konoha in the rain, his voice so soft it was almost inaudible, "Where the Konoha dance, the fire will never die."

Meanwhile, an eerie silence fell over Konoha.

The moment the notice was posted beneath the Hokage Rock, a middle-aged ninja from the Sarutobi Clan suddenly sprang to his feet, slamming his fist into the Notice Board: "What a joke! How could the Lord Third possibly..."

The crowd began to stir. Some rushed toward the Hokage Building, some gathered at the former site of the Uchiha Clan Compound compound, and many more stood there blankly, unsure of what to believe.

Asuma Sarutobi looked at the chaotic crowd and sighed silently.

Although he was dissatisfied, he knew that at this point, as an ordinary Jonin, he couldn't change such a notice.

The reactions of ordinary people are more complex; they are extremely easily swayed by ideas delivered from above.

"It turns out we've been misunderstanding the Uchiha. It turns out that many of our conflicts were caused by that guy Danzo, and he did it all to obtain the Sharingan and complete his research plan? What a scoundrel!"

"The Uchiha wanted to rebel, but what did those children do wrong? Was it necessary to kill them all?"

"The Konoha High Command... they're terrifying."

"Who can we trust in the future?"

Teahouses, taverns, and markets—everywhere was abuzz with talk of this.

Some were angry, some were sad, but many more felt a deep sense of fear and unease.

The impact of this event overshadowed even Tsunade, causing many in the Shinobi World to be unaware that Konoha's new Hokage was one of the legendary Three Sannin.

Tsunade stood by the window of the Hokage Office, looking down at the commotion below. She raised her bottle and took a big gulp, then said with a wry smile, "He's really left me with a mess, Jiraiya to make matters worse, Jiraiya still hasn't come back."

Shizune stood to the side, holding Tonton, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Tsunade put down the sake bottle, her eyes hardening. "Let's prepare to convene a Jonin meeting."

Kakashi stood on the rooftop, looking down at the chaotic scene below. He touched the Sharingan beneath his Headband and sighed softly, "Obito, if you were still alive..."

Obito stood in the Kamui Dimension, the announcement in his hand slowly drifting down.

He touched the mask on his face and suddenly let out a low laugh. "Rin, did you see that? This is the hypocrisy of Konoha!" The laughter echoed in the empty space, gradually turning into a sob.

Jiraiya stood atop Mount Myōboku, gazing towards Konoha in the distance, and sighed, "Old man, you really made a mistake this time."

Sage Fukasaku onto his shoulder. "Little Jiraiya, do you want to go back?"

Jiraiya stroked his chin. "Let's wait a bit longer."

Inside the Hyuga Clan's territory, Hyuga Hiashi raised his hand to stop his clansmen from speaking.

He gazed in the direction of the Uchiha Clan Compound, a complex look flashing in his eyes. "Prepare to hold Clan Meeting."

"Yes."

In a quiet corner of Otogakure, the fifty-five Uchiha clansmen rescued by Uchiha Yu were living a relatively peaceful life, yet often overshadowed by the pain of the past.

They are rebuilding their homes here, trying to forget the suffering they endured in Konoha.

A young Uchiha clansman rushed back to the village, clutching a notice that had come from outside, his face filled with shock and anger.

"Come and see, everyone!" His shout broke the tranquility of the village, and the villagers gathered around.

When their eyes fell on the shocking words on the notice, the entire village seemed to be instantly shrouded in a gloom.

In the crowd, some people let out painful whimpers, while others clenched their fists so tightly that their knuckles turned white, their eyes burning with a fierce fire of hatred.

The pain and humiliation of the past surged back like a tide.

An old man, after reading the announcement, burst into tears of joy. "Now everyone knows what Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo have been doing behind the scenes! That's wonderful! That's wonderful!"

Izumi Uchiha, who was once Itachi's lover, grabbed the notice and ran towards the lake without regard for anything else.

The images of that night, when her people were brutally slaughtered, kept flashing through her mind. Every fallen figure, every painful scream, was like a sharp blade piercing her heart.

She ran to the lakeside and plunged into the icy water without hesitation.

The lake water instantly submerged her, and she tried to use the biting cold and suffocating feeling to forget those terrible memories, to forget the grief and hatred in her heart.

Inside that mysterious Experiment Base, Orochimaru was leisurely fiddling with various experimental instruments, his figure appearing particularly eerie in the dim light.

When his subordinate presented him with the announcement, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face, his forked tongue flicking gently at the corner of his mouth.

"Interesting, really interesting."

At that moment, a short-haired researcher wearing glasses walked in.

"Lord Orochimaru, Sasori of the Red Sands wants me to reveal the location of his base. Should we just cut off this line?"

Orochimaru glanced at Kabuto, whom he had recently recruited, and said, "It's alright. The base in the Land of Wind can be abandoned now. Just leave it there. But before that, we need to put on a show."

The Kabuto Yakushi adjusted his glasses. "Understood."

"Oh, right," Orochimaru suddenly called out to Kabuto, "Keep track of Itachi's movements."

"Yes!"

The afterglow of the setting sun filtered through layers of maple leaves, casting dappled light and shadow on the forest path.

Uchiha Yu and Sasuke walked side by side, the fallen leaves beneath their feet making a soft rustling sound.

"Power isn't just for revenge, Sasuke."

Uchiha Yu raised his hand and caught a falling maple leaf. The leaf trembled gently in his palm. "Just like this leaf, it seems fragile, but it can bear the weight of the entire autumn."

These words were originally spoken by Jiraiya to Uchiha U, and now he relayed them verbatim to Sasuke.

Although he himself didn't understand what it meant.

Sasuke frowned, a hint of impatience flashing in his dark eyes. "But without power, we can't even uncover the truth about those who have died."

"If you study history, you'll understand that history is actually the most illusory thing; all the truths may not be what you know."

Before Uchiha Yu could finish speaking, he suddenly turned around and quickly Hand Seal in front of his chest.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A blazing fireball roared through the forest, the scorching heat instantly scorching the surrounding maple leaves!

A young ninja wearing Konoha Headband leaped out from behind a tree. Beneath the Headband were a pair of bloodshot eyes, and the Kunai in his hand gleamed coldly.

"Die! You evil Uchiha!" The young ninja's voice was hoarse, filled with hysterical madness.

Uchiha Yu's right palm was facing down, while his other hand was in the Buddhism single-handed standing posture, with golden chakra flowing around his body.

A golden Kannon Statue, about half a person's height, appeared behind him. Guanyin's face was compassionate, yet it carried an inviolable majesty.

The Kannon Statue gently swung its fist, and a Golden Fist Shadow sliced through the air, blasting the young ninja several meters away, where he crashed heavily into a tree trunk.

The bark cracked, and leaves flew everywhere.

Uchiha Yu stepped forward slowly, each step carrying a suffocating sense of oppression. "Knowing you're no match, why are you still throwing your life away?"

The young ninja struggled to his feet, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth staining his clothes.

His Headband was askew, revealing the bulging veins on his forehead. "You... you've taken control of the Daimyo... The Lord Third is the greatest Hokage! He would never..."

Sasuke's eyes flashed with killing intent. Holding Kunai, he roared, "You're asking for death!"

"Wait." Uchiha Yu raised his hand to stop Sasuke, his gaze deep. "Look at the way he looks at you."

The young ninja staggered to his feet, trembling all over, yet still staring intently at the two men.

His eyes burned with a fanatical obsession, as if he wanted to incinerate the enemy before him. "Kill me! For the sake of the village, I have no regrets in dying!"

"This is the horror of political brainwashing." Uchiha Yu sighed softly, his voice tinged with pity. "In his mind, he is righteous, and he is willing to give his life for this 'justice'."

Sasuke clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white. "But..."

"Hatred only breeds new hatred." Uchiha Yu turned around. "Let him live and see the truth with his own eyes. That's the best way to fight back against brainwashing."

The young ninja was stunned, and the madness in his eyes was gradually replaced by confusion.

The Sky Manipulation over Konoha was gloomy, and the heavy clouds made people inexplicably irritable.

In front of the Hokage Building, a group of people dressed in Anbu uniforms, bearing the insignia of the Sarutobi Clan and the mark of the Root stood quietly, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay. As villagers passed by, they unconsciously quickened their pace and hurried away.

Sarutobi Hayabusa stood at the front, his brow furrowed, as if a Taiseki was pressing on his heart.

His loyalty to the Former Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Danzo was deeply ingrained.

These days, the various rumors about Konoha, especially the so-called "truths" revealed by Uchiha Yu, have filled him with anger and resentment.

He kept telling himself that the Third and Danzo had devoted their lives to Konoha, so how could they have done such despicable things?

This must be a conspiracy by Uchiha Yu, a slander against their predecessors.

Thinking of this, Falcon gritted his teeth, his fists clenched involuntarily, and his knuckles turned white from the force.

He took a deep breath, raised his hand and pushed open the door to the Hokage Office, thinking to himself: I must get an explanation from Lady Tsunade today, and I absolutely cannot let those rumors continue to spread.

The person behind him remained silent and followed him into the house.

"Lady Tsunade!" Hayabusa's voice broke the silence, trembling slightly with emotion. "Konoha is in complete chaos because of Uchiha Yu. As the Hokage, are you just going to do nothing? Let him spout nonsense? He threatened the Daimyo with force to say those lies! Don't you feel even the slightest bit uncomfortable about those insults directed at your teacher?"

His gaze was fixed on Tsunade, his eyes filled with expectation and questioning, hoping that Tsunade would step forward and clarify everything.

Tsunade was working on some documents when she heard the noise. She put down her pen, looked up at everyone, and remained calm.

She knew in her heart that these people were indeed loyal to the Former Hokage, but they were also swayed by their emotions and lost their rational judgment.

"The Daimyo announcement has already been made. I just took over the position, and I wasn't involved in the previous events, so I'm not aware of them."

Tsunade, as a former Konoha High Command, knew a great deal about the affairs of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo, Uchiha.

If you really want to say who's right and who's wrong, Tsunade doesn't know.

However, the information that has been released may not be entirely objective. But the ordinary members of the Uchiha Clan did not deserve to die. To say that the Uchiha Clan is an evil race and then Carnage the entire Uchiha is an act of genocide that even Tsunade could not stand by and watch.

Besides, the Daimyo has already said so, so why should the Daimyo take it back?

So, she decided not to get involved.

"Don't understand?" Subaru, a Root ninja, couldn't help but step forward, his heart filled with anger and confusion.

He was taught from a young age to respect the Third and Danzo. In his heart, the two predecessors were the guardians of Konoha.

Hearing those accusations now, he simply cannot believe it and feels that someone is deliberately framing him.

His face was full of skepticism, and his tone was filled with anger as he said, "That's just Uchiha Yu's version of events! The Third and Danzo dedicated their lives to Konoha, how could they do such things? There must be something going on behind the scenes, and the culprits are him and Itachi Uchiha! And that mysterious Madara Uchiha!!!"

Tsunade frowned and patiently said again, "I understand your loyalty to the Former Hokage, but impulsiveness won't solve anything. The most important thing now is to restore peace to Konoha, not to argue about whose fault it is. That will only make the village more chaotic."

These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

"Argument? We're upholding justice!"

"We cannot allow Uchiha Yu to smear the Third; he must pay the price!"

Everyone was talking at once, and they were all very emotional.

Everyone held fast to their faith in the Former Hokage, convinced that they were upholding justice, and refused to listen to Tsunade's words.

Hayabusa and Tsunade arguing, and no one could get a word in edgewise.

At this moment, Subaru quietly said to the person next to him, "Tsunade doesn't care. Let's take matters into our own hands and deal with Uchiha Yu and Sasuke. Then no one will cause any more trouble, and we can fulfill the wish of the Former Hokage."

The others hesitated upon hearing this, weighing the pros and cons in their minds.

On the one hand, they understand that acting on their own could have serious consequences.

On the other hand, their loyalty and anger towards the Former Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi Danzo also drove them to take action.

But in the end, loyalty and anger prevailed, and they all nodded in agreement.

They said no more to Tsunade and turned to leave the Hokage Building.

A Pitcher Plant poked its head out from the ground, watched the departing crowd, and commented, "Someone's trying to get themselves killed."
