Becomes a Rebel Ninja After Annihilating the Hyuga Clan

Chapter 38

Among everyone present earlier, Yamanaka Fu was purely a sensory ninja.

If Neiki had replaced Torune Aburame, even with his exceptional disguise skills and thorough knowledge of Root habits, he still would have been detected by Fu, an elite of the Yamanaka clan who could sense mental abnormalities.

Therefore, unless he killed Fu during his time at the Uchiha compound, Neiki had no plans to ambush Danzo.

It was a spur-of-the-moment decision.

His original target was Fugaku's eyes, with killing Danzo being an unexpected bonus.

Fugaku's Mangekyou Sharingan, which hadn’t revealed its power in the original series, showcased an astonishing effect in this battle, even impressing Neiki.

Sure, Fugaku's Susanoo was powerful, but no ninjutsu could be so formidable that it left Konoha’s forces helpless.

What made Fugaku's Susanoo invincible was that any method to counter it failed before the future-seeing eyes, or for various reasons, such methods wouldn’t even appear before Fugaku.

This was a scenario even Neiki hadn’t foreseen.

Although Neiki wouldn’t transplant these eyes into himself, he certainly wouldn’t leave them for Konoha.

And with Hashirama cells in hand, these eyes wouldn’t go to waste.

“A sealing sword technique akin to acupressure…”

The wound felt numb and tingly. Danzo looked down at the sword piercing his chest, feeling his chakra sealed and unable to move.

“So this is your trump card for daring to challenge me?” Danzo asked softly.

He twitched his fingers.

The next moment—

Slash!

“Ahhh—” Danzo screamed.

Blood splattered.

Neiki severed the bandaged right arm.

“Planning to use the binding seal or Izanagi?” Neiki shook his head.

With a flick of the blade, Danzo's head flew off.

The body fell, kicking up dust.

The binding seal was a curse Danzo placed on all Root members to counter potential rebellion. When activated, it immobilized the target.

Neiki didn’t tell Danzo that while he couldn’t break the Caged Bird Seal, he could easily break the binding seal.

As for Izanagi, it’s a divine technique that could alter reality, making unfavorable events that happened to the user never occur, only retaining beneficial events.

Even the reality of the user’s death could be completely reversed.

Regardless of what technique Danzo intended to use, Neiki gave him no chance.

Whether it was the binding seal or Izanagi, both required hand seals.

And Neiki never gave Danzo a chance to form seals.

From using the sealing sword to ambush to severing the arm filled with Sharingan to decapitating Danzo, Neiki’s actions were fluid, as if he had practiced thousands of times.

“I help you, and this is how you repay me?”

As Neiki extracted Shisui's Sharingan from Danzo's eye, he suddenly spoke, tossing a kunai behind him without looking.

The kunai embedded itself in the ground before Fugaku, who was about to run.

“You’ve killed many Uchiha too,” Fugaku said softly, turning around.

No choice. Since the man sought death after securing Shisui’s eye, Neiki lost interest in the other spoils on Danzo’s arm.

“You can see the future. Did you foresee your own death?” Neiki approached Fugaku with his sword.

“I can see one possible future, but now… I can’t see anything,” Fugaku shook his head.

Having used his future-seeing ability and Susanoo many times today, Fugaku’s Mangekyou Sharingan was now an ordinary black pupil. In this state, how could he be Neiki's match?

“That note earlier, you sent it, right?” Fugaku suddenly asked.

A casual conversation wouldn’t delay his death.

Neiki’s sword slashed down, blocked by Fugaku’s kunai.

“Die quietly, and I’ll tell you.” Neiki said.

“So it was you,” Fugaku sighed, resisting desperately despite Neiki’s superior swordsmanship.

With wounds accumulating, Fugaku seemed to want to die, knowing and asking, “Since you dare act, must the Hyuga main house be gone?”

“Can’t you foresee it?”

Fugaku shook his head. “I can only foresee my future. For past events, that’s not foresight.”

The note was a past event.

The Hyuga clan’s fate was irrelevant to him.

He couldn’t gain this information from foresight.

“What’s the point of knowing so much?” Neiki sneered, his sword blazing with fire, cutting through Fugaku’s kunai and hand.

Enduring the pain, Fugaku formed seals with one hand, spewing a massive fireball to push Neiki back.

Sweating and panting, Fugaku’s lips curled upward:

“The Hyuga clan’s fate… at least makes me feel I made a good decision.”

“When I reach the Pure Land, I can tell Hiashi… that the Uchiha is truly Konoha’s greatest clan!!”

Neiki raised an eyebrow, sensing a resemblance between Fugaku and his clan leader.

Approaching Fugaku with his sword, Neiki commented:

“Whether the Uchiha is Konoha’s greatest clan, I don’t know, but your one-handed seal technique is beyond Hiashi.”

“Stop struggling. I have more Konoha people to deal with. Don’t you hate Konoha? You called my name earlier, so you saw it, right, what I plan to do…”

Fugaku nodded slowly, helplessly:

“We don’t hate Konoha; otherwise, why revolt?”

“But I did foresee your plans. That’s why the Uchiha must escape…”

Fugaku paused, noticing something interesting. He looked at Neiki with a subtle expression:

“Do you know?”

“Izanagi is a forbidden Uchiha technique with only three seals.”

“It alters reality for only one minute, starting from the first seal.”

“And those who can form seals one-handed… are not just me…”

Before he finished, a hand with the Konoha headband clasped around Fugaku’s neck, ending his words and his life.
