The four Root ninjas were watching Uchiha You with sweaty palms, but the surrounded Uchiha You just stood there, seeming to appreciate the infighting among the Root ninjas.

But in fact, he has already started.

In a violent mental shock, the 13 Root Ninjas saw a pair of three-magatama Sharingan at the same time, and then forgot about it in the next moment. The momentary forgetfulness caused their vigilance to be suppressed.

What follows is a series of identical operations.

In just three seconds, Uchiha You repeated 16 rounds of Sharingan staring and forgetting. The repeated "wolf" made the Root ninjas' vigilance instinctively numbed.

In just three seconds, two living weapons of the extraordinary jonin level were chopped down by random swords. In order to prevent the weapons from self-destructing, the Root Ninjas first chopped off their hands and feet.

With only one life and one arm sacrificed, the nine Root ninjas eliminated the hidden danger. They couldn't help but feel that the mission was not too difficult, and the tension and vigilance in their hearts dropped from their peak.

Humans are not machines. Even ninjas who have undergone brutal training have ups and downs in their mental state. Especially after a round of intense fighting, relaxation is inevitable.

This was the opportunity Uchiha You was waiting for. Taking advantage of their involuntarily relaxation, Uchiha You launched his illusion attack, a real illusion attack.

Uchiha You opened his three-magatama Sharingan, and poured the surging pupil power into his eyes without reservation. He also used the natural energy of wind to twist the light and directed his gaze to 12 pairs of eyes at the same time.

Sharingan, Illusion, Binding Technique

The suggestion seeds in the minds of the 12 surviving Root ninjas were detonated. When their brains were in chaos, their central nervous system was invaded by Uchiha Yu, sending out wrong nerve signals.

As a result, the muscles of the Root Ninjas were tensed to the limit, and then never relaxed again, fixing each ninja's movements at the moment the illusion was activated.

The battle is over.

Apart from opening and closing his eyes, Uchiha You didn't make any movements at all and won the battle.

Miwa Masayo was lying on Uchiha Yu's shoulder from beginning to end, watching the Root ninjas killing each other lazily, and watching them all being knocked down by an illusion.

She opened her mouth and yawned loudly, then said, "You, you seem to be getting more and more fond of using illusions, meow."

Uchiha You smiled and replied: "Well, illusions are very powerful. When dealing with a dozen enemies, they are more suitable than large-scale ninjutsu."

"Besides, using illusion to kill people is very stylish..."

He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

The hearts of the 12 immobile Root ninjas skipped a beat. Their myocardium received the signal to exert force and at the same time blocked the life limiter signal for safety.

The myocardium, which had broken through the life limiter, with the help of the high concentration of adrenaline secreted in advance, burst out with a force thirty times stronger than that of a heartbeat, crushing the heart alive.

Because their nerves were taken over, the Root Ninjas could not feel the pain in their hearts, but as a living being they could still feel the coming of death.

Death is the greatest pain.

Although the expressions of the Root ninjas were just like their bodies, with no possibility of changing at all, their despair and pain were still conveyed to Uchiha Yu.

This made him realize that one of the Root ninjas was in a wrong mood, and he was different in that he didn't feel desperate.

Are there still people in the world who don’t despair when facing death?

Uchiha You was extremely curious. He walked up to this unique ninja and waved his hand to release some of his nerve control, allowing him to control the muscles above his neck and some of his intercostal muscles.

Uchiha Yuu: "Why don't you feel desperate?"

Root Ninja: "How dare you kill the Anbu ninja of Konoha Village?"

Uchiha You: "..."

Uchiha Yuu: "Won't you die from a broken heart?"

Root Ninja: "Aren't you afraid of being investigated by Shimura Danzo-sama?"

Uchiha You: "..."

"Bah! Dog %###, I'm beep-beep-beep-beep--"

Uchiha You, who was furious, swore rarely and even spat at the Root ninja who was frozen in place.

"It's out in the middle of nowhere, I'm not afraid of anyone chasing me!"

Miwa Masayo was amused. She patted Uchiha Yu's shoulder, making a pleasant and crisp "meow meow meow".

Uchiha You looked up at the sky speechlessly. He cut off all the nerves of the Root Ninja again and started to examine his body directly to see what exactly caused him to face death without despair.

The raccoon cat, who was laughing so hard that his whole body went limp, climbed onto Uchiha Yu's head, avoiding the splattered blood, and asked, "After killing so many Root ninjas, do you really not have to worry about Shimura Danzo's pursuit, meow?"

Uchiha You's hands were busy, his eyes were fixed on the Root Ninja, he carefully checked his body, and answered casually: "Don't worry, I will rush directly into the commander's tent after returning, spread out the order and the body in front of everyone, report the mission abnormality and the team members' rebellion, and request an investigation of the mission process."

"As long as the matter is made public and becomes a big deal, it will be Shimura Danzo's turn to be in a mess."

"But you said, meow, that the Third Hokage stands behind Shimura Danzo, so if you do this he won't be able to cover it up, meow?"

"Well, at least there is no way now."

"In Konoha Village in the 43rd year of Konoha, the Third Hokage is still far from being able to cover the sky with one hand and control the various ninja clans at will."

Shimura Danzo's plot has a flaw that even the power of the Hokage cannot eliminate.

That is, if Uchiha You's power is strong enough, the Root Ninjas will try their best to surround and kill him but fail, and instead be killed by the besieged. This conspiracy will be directly exposed to the sun.

The initiative of the entire incident will automatically shift to Uchiha You, and the task book in his hand is the most fatal evidence.

As long as he publicly displays this mission letter, which is complete with marks, badges, and numbers, it will be enough to prove that those unidentified ninjas in the Root forged the real mission letter and were able to blend into the team of Konoha ninjas.

This is a violation of the Hokage's authority and responsibility. If the Third Hokage does not want to come forward and confess his guilt, Danzo Shimura must step forward, take the blame with his head, and receive a certain degree of punishment.

Of course, apart from his reputation, Danzo Shimura will not suffer any serious losses, or even no substantial losses at all.

But Uchiha You will be able to take this opportunity to gain great fame, and will not be harassed by Shimura Danzo for at least the next year.

In addition to a period of security, you can get more.

As long as he does it well, he can describe all the Root Ninjas here as "unknown enemies", and not only get A-level mission records and corresponding bonuses, but he may even get a long vacation.

With these as compensation, it wasn't so painful for him to be disgusted by the Root ninja.

During the war, Uchiha Yu was able to live a leisurely life with Miwa Masayo. How happy they were.

He had even thought about leaving the freezing cold country of Hot Springs and going to the south to find a place facing the sea where spring was warm and flowers were blooming, preferably an uninhabited island, and building a thatched hut to live in.

I go swimming in the sea every day, enjoy fresh seafood, and carefully reflect on what I have gained from teaching in recent months, trying to break through the fourth stage of the foundation-building period.

Uchiha You felt happy just thinking about it.

Miwa Masayo thought about it and nodded in agreement with the shit shoveler's statement: "Fortunately, the Third Hokage does not have that much power, meow. As long as this matter is made public, this crude conspiracy will be useless, meow."

Uchiha You paused for a moment. He looked at the raccoon cat and said in a leisurely tone, "It's actually a good thing that he can't cover the sky with one hand. If the third generation really did it, he would be close to death."

In the original history, a few years later, when Sarutobi Hiruzen killed Minato Namikaze and his wife, unjustly killed Hyuga Hizashi, and wiped out the Uchiha clan without receiving any substantial punishment, his power reached its peak and he had absolute power in Konoha Village.

During that period of time, Uchiha You could not kill 15 Root Ninjas, let alone fight back when he was besieged by Root Ninjas, otherwise he would be considered a traitor to the village and the country, and a traitor to the Ninja!

But the ninja world is ultimately a supernatural world where everything is decided by fists. As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen's strength has not reached the level of the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, and as long as he is unable to suppress Konoha Village alone, he has no right to act recklessly in Konoha Village.

In fact, the genocide of the Uchiha clan was the final weight that triggered the backlash of Konoha Village against the Third Hokage. A few years later, the Konoha ninjas tacitly relied on Orochimaru to give Sarutobi Hiruzen a decent funeral.

Suddenly, Uchiha You pointed at the Root Ninja's chest and exclaimed in surprise: "It turns out to be like this, there are actually two hearts!!"

Miwa Masayo poked his head over to look.

Sure enough, inside the chest cavity of the Root Ninja, there was a soft heart with several cracks on the left side, and a complete heart on the right side that was obviously smaller and was beating weakly.

Uchiha You kept shaking his head, expressing admiration and praise:

“The choice of location...perfect!”

"The suturing of the blood vessels...exquisite!"

"The nerves are connected like this... what a genius idea!"

Uchiha You immediately thought of a person: "Orochimaru, this must be the work of Orochimaru!"

"Oh my, if you think about it, Wood Release Yamato should be seven years old this year. The Wood Release Awakening Plan should be over, and Orochimaru should be able to free up his hands to do other things."

"It looks like the kind of Root ninja I'm most familiar with is about to make an appearance."

Miwa Masayo circled around the Root Ninja for a few circles, and after hearing what Uchiha You said, he couldn't help but ask, "You, will Orochimaru have any impact on your plan?"

"Of course it has no impact."

Uchiha You said confidently: "I just want to control the Uchiha family. As long as we follow the development of the situation and implement the plan, we can steadily move towards the final victory. There is no need to compete with Danzo over such trivial matters."

The tabby cat remembered that when Uchiha You evaluated Uchiha Fugaku, he criticized him for not caring about the study session, so he asked: "Why is the new Root Ninja just a detail? Isn't this a big deal that changes the balance of power from the basics?"

Uchiha You replied: "It's different. The goals are different. If it's a fight for the highest power of an independent organization, the basic power is the foundation of everything. But the Root is not an independent organization. It is part of the power system of the Hokage of Konoha Village and does not have any independence."

"The danger of the Root is not how strong the Root ninjas are, but that Shimura Danzo can arbitrarily borrow the authority of the Hokage without having to bear the responsibility of the Hokage."

"No matter how strong the Root Ninjas are, they are only at the level of Jonin. Occasionally, a few elite Jonin will appear."

"The Uchiha family has always been able to maintain more than thirty three-magatama Sharingan, which is the level of elite jonin."

"The power of the Root is nothing compared to the power of the Uchiha Clan."

Uchiha You quickly packed up the bodies, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, everything is packed up, let's go."

Miwa Masayo knocked on the head of the shit shoveler and asked, "Don't you care about the corpse, meow?"

"Just leave it here and wait for the follow-up investigation by Konoha Ninja. They are the enemy, and my empty words alone cannot prove anything. There must be some evidence for them to investigate."

Miwa Masayo gathered his strength and hit the shit shoveler's head hard again, loudly questioning: "You! Are you crazy? Won't such a clean battlefield expose your illusion?"

After being hit hard, Uchiha You seemed to be awakened. He looked around without saying a word.

The tabby cat couldn't help but worry that he had used too much strength, and asked with concern: "What's wrong, meow?"

"Thank you for your reminder. I don't know what went wrong. I totally forgot that I needed to hide my information."

Uchiha You slapped his forehead repeatedly to keep himself awake.

Then he began to bombard the entire valley with ninjutsu. He used fire techniques to cover half of the valley bottom, covering up all traces of his battle and destroying several corpses.

The destroyed bodies included the Root ninja with two hearts, as well as the two Root living weapons, covering up the traces of Uchiha You dissecting corpses and absorbing mind monsters.

After several inspections by Miwa Masayo and Uchiha Yu, they confirmed that there were no loopholes left on the battlefield, and then they left with peace of mind.

…

Just as Uchiha You thought, after the incident became a big deal, word spread quickly and no ninja could accept that the mission they accepted was a trap set to kill them.

What is even more unacceptable is that the Anbu, the Hokage's direct subordinate force, actually mobilized 15 ninjas to surround and kill a Konoha ninja who was performing a normal mission.

Did the Third Hokage betray the Will of Fire that he preached, or was he incompetent and lost all the confidential information, allowing the enemy to successfully issue an impeccable official order?

No matter what, this is all the fault of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, unless...

Unless, Danzo Shimura, the head of the Root, steps forward.

He announced that it was his own work error that caused him to lose a complete set of confidential documents including task book passwords, seals, etc., which led to this terrible accident.

The Third Hokage was furious and revoked Danzo Shimura's position as Hokage advisor and asked him to... go home and reflect.

As a victim of the accident and a hero who single-handedly killed 15 unknown enemies, Uchiha You was publicly commended by the Third Hokage, and for this achievement, he was included in the next round of promotion list for Jonin.

Uchiha You looked at the Uchiha clan ninja who came to inform him excitedly, spread his hands helplessly, and asked: "Then what?"

Uchiha Jin was confused and asked, "What then?"

"Besides making sure I get promoted to jonin in the next round of promotions, there's no other reward?"

Uchiha You counted on his fingers, "When I was ambushed, I killed 15 enemies. A full 15 enemies. Shouldn't I be given an A-level mission record? What about the mission bonus? What about vacation time?"

“No, no…”

"Tsk, the Third Hokage is so stingy."

"You can't say that. The Third Hokage publicly commended you. All the ninjas and villagers in Konoha Village know about your achievements. You are famous all over the world! Brother!!"

Uchiha You looked at Uchiha Jin. He knew that this guy who was recruited with him was a dove, but he didn't expect that he was actually a Hokage.

He shook his head and stopped talking to this guy with unequal values.

After Uchiha Jin left, Miwa Masayo came out from her hiding place, looked at Uchiha You with her beautiful big eyes, and asked with a smile: "My contractor, where is the vacation you expected?"

"Ahahaha, I guessed wrong."

"I caused such a huge loss to him, how could he possibly give me a real reward?"

"The Hokage's public commendation and promotion to jonin don't count as rewards, nya?"

"Hehe, I killed 15 enemies in one battle, which is the best record among Konoha ninjas this year. The incident has become a big deal and my reputation has spread. The public commendation from the Hokage can only be regarded as a formal certification, not even the icing on the cake."

"As for the promotion of Jonin, it has already been confirmed. The Hokage just announced the news in advance."

"Patriarch Fugaku told the Third Hokage himself that I have awakened the Three-Magnet Sharingan. Rika-chan, among the ninjas of the Uchiha Clan in Konoha Village who have awakened the Three-Magnet Sharingan, how many are not Jonins?"

Uchiha You pointed his thumb at his nose and said with his mouth open, "I'm the only one."

"Now that I think about it, I didn't even consider that the 15 Root ninjas I killed could be considered the ANBU strength of the Third Hokage if rounded off."

"It's rare, meow. You, Uchiha You, can make mistakes in your predictions. Is there something wrong with your brain or your predictive ability, meow?"

Uchiha You pointed to his heart, smiled bitterly and said, "There's something wrong with my heart."

"Those who play with time will eventually be played with by time. And it is only natural that a guy like me who plays with people's hearts will fall because of human greed."

After Uchiha You obtained Xiao Ke from the living weapon of the Root, he could not find a suitable way to store it. Seeing that this strange life form was about to dissipate, he stuffed Xiao Ke into his own spiritual world in desperation.

At that time, something went wrong with Uchiha Yu.

After the battle, he was so focused on the spoils that he forgot to clean up the battlefield.

When considering subsequent issues, he also focused on the possible rewards and forgot to take the interests of the Hokage into consideration.

These are not minor issues, and at the right time, such mistakes can even be fatal.
