I, Uchiha Yu, am solely focused on cultivating immortality

Chapter 9 Fireworks in Full Bloom

Apart from the Root ninja who left, the three Root ninjas who were originally on surveillance missions changed their focus from monitoring the Uchiha clan without any specific objectives to monitoring Uchiha Yu.

The captain in charge of command also sent someone to Uchiha Yu's house to make arrangements.

The Root ninjas decided to ambush at Uchiha Yu's house because there were other Uchiha members nearby, and they needed to set up some seals to block sound and light beforehand.

At a ramen stall in the night market, Uchiha Yu, having eaten and drunk his fill, patted his stomach contentedly, said goodbye to everyone, and went straight home.

The Root ninjas followed behind him.

The further away from the market, the closer the Root ninjas got, and they no longer bothered to conceal their presence.

When they arrived in front of Uchiha Yu's house, the captain of the Root ninja spoke up.

"Remember, don't hold back later, use your full strength when you test them."

"Should we kill him?"

"Kill him! If it's proven that he's awakened the Sharingan, then he's a dangerous individual and should be killed."

"If it's proven that he hasn't awakened the Sharingan, then this Uchiha is of no value to the village. His life is a waste of resources, and he should be killed."

"yes!"

The Root ninja's voice was very soft, and Miwa Masayo, who was under the illusion, did not hear it, but Uchiha Yu, who was sneaking in from the direction of his own house, did hear it.

Hearing the Root ninja's words, he couldn't help but surface from underground and sigh, "The way you're doing this is basically saying the Uchiha deserve to die."

As soon as the sound was made, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became filled with murderous intent. Both Root ninjas took out their weapons, and one of them even took out an explosive tag.

The captain who issued the order was even more alert; he actually pulled out an alarm flare and a detonator.

Both Root ninjas understood that the mission they were currently carrying out was undocumented, and if they were killed by Uchiha Yu, Danzo would have no idea who did it.

Moreover, the situation is even worse than the worst-case scenario previously anticipated. Uchiha Yu is a ninja who is extremely well hidden. He not only has the strength of a Jonin, but is also proficient in Earth Release.

Too dangerous!

It's impossible to pass the information to Lord Danzo now, but even if it means death, he will drag Uchiha Yu into the list of suspects!

Such a person who tries to hide himself cannot remain hidden forever once Danzo becomes suspicious.

A ninja who hides their strength cannot withstand a thorough investigation!

The Root ninja captain yanked the cord off the flare, but the flare didn't fly out. Just as he looked down in horror to see what was wrong, his vision suddenly disappeared.

His mind went blank, and he died.

Before Uchiha Yu could speak, he activated his Sharingan and used Sharingan genjutsu to attack the five senses of the two Root ninjas.

The first sense to be controlled is touch, because humans are not very sensitive to changes in touch, but are very sensitive to hearing and sight. Targeting these two senses can easily alert the target.

Then, his sense of smell and taste were controlled. The moment he succeeded in controlling them, Uchiha Yu released the poison gas.

This poison gas is extremely potent; it can not only paralyze muscles but also create hallucinations. A ninja who inhales it will die within a dozen seconds.

This wonderful product has a fatal flaw: it has a very pungent smell.

A vigilant ninja can detect the danger in advance and hold their breath, so they won't inhale enough and therefore won't be able to cause enough damage.

But things change once the illusion controls the enemy's sense of smell and taste.

The two Root ninjas did not take out any weapons, explosive tags, or signal flares; it was an illusion effect aided by the hallucinations caused by the poison gas.

In fact, when they heard Uchiha Yu speak, they were already paralyzed and immediately pulled underground by Uchiha Yu, where they quickly died from the poison.

Uchiha Yu killed people swiftly and decisively here, while Miwa Masayo, with his phantom image, calmly returned home.

When she pushed open the courtyard gate, Uchiha Yuya emerged from underground with two corpses.

The man and the cat worked together to perform preliminary treatment on the four corpses, wrapping them all in oilcloth and then applying a thick layer of wax to prevent the smell of the corpses from escaping.

Among the ninjas of Konoha Village, there are quite a few who are sensitive to smells, and only a complete seal can cut off the clues for tracking.

After doing all this, the tabby cat collapsed to the ground, exhausted, and said weakly, "There are no problems for now. I've also suppressed the seals on them, but they won't last until dawn."

Uchiha Yu held Miwa Masayo in his arms, gently stroking her soft fur, and praised, "Your craftsmanship is amazing. When will Rinka-chan become a catgirl?"

"I'm not Rinka-chan, meow! I don't want to become a catgirl! It's so ugly!"

"That's just because I'm not good at drawing. Rinka-chan would be really pretty as a catgirl."

"Ugh, so annoying! If you don't get to the point, I'm going back!"

"Alright, can Grandma Cat help with this?"

"No, meow. These corpses have several kinds of root seals, so they can't be taken away by summoning jutsu. Besides, they'll be discovered when you get close to the barrier of Konoha Village."

"Then we'll have to burn it."

"Burn it? Wouldn't that immediately give us away?"

"Hehe, as long as I burn it fast enough, I won't be exposed."

"What are you planning to do?"

"Like this, like this, and then like that..."

"...Never mind if you don't want to talk about it, I'm going home, meow."

"Just a moment, it'll be quick."

"Fifteen minutes, meow."

Uchiha Yu channeled his earth-attribute natural energy, causing the ground to rise like water, forming a smooth, downward-sloping passage. He threw down four large wax seals and then jumped into the passage, rapidly approaching the Death Forest within the village.

Exhausted, Miwa Masayo quickly climbed onto the roof, sat down, and looked at the tallest tree in the Death Forest, quietly waiting for his human's performance.

A dozen minutes later, four circular craters suddenly appeared on the land of the Death Forest, dark and bottomless. Immediately afterwards, flames erupted from the craters, accompanied by four muffled explosions, and the wax seal, its surface charred black by the flames, was launched into the sky from the craters.

The ANBU ninjas on night duty and the security ninjas heard the explosion. They watched in astonishment as four faint lines of fire rose into the sky, completely unaware of what had happened.

The Uchiha members of the security forces quickly mobilized and rushed to various residential areas of the village to prepare for any potential chaos.

The Anbu ninjas, in small teams, rushed towards the Forest of Death. Their duty was to arrive at the scene as quickly as possible, find out what happened, and provide accurate intelligence for the Hokage's decision-making.

Just as the wax seal was about to touch the village's barrier, the fire-attribute natural energy hidden inside the corpse erupted.

The burst of natural energy transformed into intense heat, instantly heating the corpse to over a thousand degrees Celsius. Water evaporated, fat melted, muscles carbonized, and bones charred.

Thump, thump, thump, thump

The expanding gas tore the corpse apart, and four dazzling fireworks exploded in the air. The fragments, reaching thousands of degrees Celsius, burned violently upon contact with the air, releasing bright light of different colors.

In that instant, the entire Hidden Leaf Village was illuminated by fireworks, tens of thousands of ninjas were awakened, and astonished ninjas stood on the rooftops of every house.

Masayo Miwa stared at the sky, completely stunned.

Uchiha Yu sat down next to her at some point, and while the tabby cat was in a daze, he played with her cute triangular ears.

Now the ashes of the corpse have spread throughout Konoha Village, and no one can find me anymore.
