Chapter 76: The Confrontation in the Hokage's Office
A few minutes later…
Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Yuta walked into the Hokage's office under the guidance of a Shadow Ninja.
As soon as they stepped through the door, three faint but chilling killing intents flickered in the air.
"Tsk, how restrained..."
Sensing the hostile intent from the three elders, Uchiha Yuta suppressed the smirk in his heart, maintaining a calm, expressionless face as he followed Fugaku inside.
Just last night…
After annihilating all the members of the Sarutobi clan, the entire Uchiha clan had moved out of their district and hidden in a massive underground shelter beneath the Naka Shrine.
As for how they avoided detection by the Anbu? The answer was simple—Sharingan Genjutsu. From start to finish, the Anbu had no idea what was going on.
---
"Fugaku, you're here."
Upon seeing them, the Third Hokage—Hiruzen Sarutobi—narrowed his eyes slightly. Still, he forced a smile that he must have thought looked kind.
As for Uchiha Yuta?
Hiruzen completely ignored him.
---
"Hmm."
Fugaku's face remained unreadable, though internally, he could barely hold back a laugh.
After all, the moment he walked through the door, Sarutobi, Koharu, and Mito Menma's eyes had locked onto him like predators—intense, furious, and full of murderous intent.
---
"Was everything alright with the Uchiha clan last night?" Sarutobi asked slowly as he lifted his pipe, pretending to be casual.
"There was an incident!"
Fugaku responded immediately, his expression alarmed.
---
"What incident?"
Sarutobi's hand stiffened on the pipe, his brows furrowed.
Koharu and Menma, who had been holding back their emotions, glanced at each other and quietly reached for the kunai hidden in their sleeves.
---
"Hahaha..."
Fugaku suddenly laughed and said, "Just joking. Everything was fine. The Uchiha clan enjoyed a peaceful night."
---
"Uh..."
Sarutobi was briefly stunned before nodding stiffly, forcing a smile. "That's good... that's good."
Koharu and Mito Menma's faces twitched with restrained rage, their hands shaking slightly around their weapons.
If not for Sarutobi's earlier warning, they would've already given the order to detain Fugaku for interrogation.
---
"So restrained. Born politicians, all of them."
Yuta silently sighed in his heart.
They all knew each other was lying. The anger was already boiling under the surface, and yet… no one dared to tear off the mask.
Maybe this was why Sarutobi Hiruzen had reigned so long and lived so long—the Shinobi among Shinobi.
As for being the strongest Hokage?
That was debatable.
---
As the political farce continued, Yuta triggered the familiar mental command:
"System, check-in at the Hokage's office."
1 second… 10 seconds… 30 seconds…
Finally, after a full minute, the crisp notification arrived:
> Ding! Congratulations, host! Hokage's Office check-in successful.
Reward Acquired:
Five Elements Unsealing
Three-Part Barrier Sealing
Reaper Death Seal
Five-Style Giant Bullet Technique
Combined Earth-Style: Earth Dragon Flow
> All rewards have been transferred to system space. Fusion available. Useable instantly with hand signs upon acceptance.
"As expected of the Hokage's office. Jackpot."
Yuta nodded silently to himself.
Over the years, despite constant check-ins, the system had never once refreshed the Hokage's office as a valid location.
Now, ten years later, the moment it appeared, he got two S-rank sealing jutsu, one A-rank, and two combined-element ninjutsu in a single sweep.
The Three-Part Barrier Seal was especially noteworthy. According to ancient sealing lore, it involved the user and two shadow clones creating a triangular, translucent green barrier from three points, forming a nearly impenetrable wall to trap the enemy.
---
Just as Yuta finished mentally reviewing the rewards...
SLAM!!!
Sarutobi suddenly stood up, slamming the table with fury.
"Uchiha Fugaku, what did your clan do last night!?"
---
"Hmph. You dare play innocent?"
Koharu and Menma snapped as they moved to flank Fugaku from both sides, ready to pounce.
---
WOOOSH!!!
From outside the Hokage Building, the sound of rushing wind echoed. Dark-cloaked Anbu, already on standby, rushed to surround the building in full combat readiness.
---
"Hiruzen, you're asking me what happened last night?"
Fugaku's tone dropped several degrees, his gaze sharp.
"Don't act like you don't know. Danzo came with Root to destroy the Uchiha clan. You mean to say the high council of Konoha wasn't aware of this?"
---
"I was aware," Sarutobi admitted, his face grim.
---
"Then there's nothing else to say."
Fugaku coldly glanced at the trio. "Danzo and the Root were wiped out by the Uchiha clan last night."
---
"What!?"
"Your Uchiha clan did that!?"
"Ridiculous!"
Sarutobi, Koharu, and Menma froze in disbelief, then scoffed as if it were the most absurd joke they'd ever heard.
They knew exactly how strong—or rather, how weak—the Uchiha clan was in recent years.
How could they possibly eliminate Danzo and Root?
---
"Of course, the Uchiha couldn't do it alone..."
Fugaku trailed off, then glanced at Yuta meaningfully.
The message was clear.
"Yuta, it's your turn."
