Chapter 78: Slaughter in the Hokage's Office
In the Hokage's office—
"It's okay!!"
With a thought, Uchiha Yuta retracted the overwhelming pressure of his Conqueror's Haki. He used Observation Haki to sense the surroundings, then nodded with great satisfaction.
This was the first time he unleashed the full extent of his Conqueror's Haki.
At first, it got a little out of control, causing cracks in the Hokage building itself.
But soon after, under his precise control, the Haki's pressure was directed solely at Koharu, Homura Mitokado, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the surrounding Anbu. The effect—perfect.
"You... so it was you?!"
Koharu, who had collapsed under the pressure, still trembled as she looked at Yuta in disbelief.
This Uchiha who she had never cared about, this "nobody"... had released such a terrifying aura—like a born emperor. Even she was completely suppressed.
"Uchiha Yuta... you've been hiding this deeply?!"
Homura, paralyzed on the ground, had lost his glasses, his old face full of shock and disbelief.
He had never imagined that Yuta could unleash such an overwhelming force.
"You…"
As for the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, although he was still seated in his chair, his calm was shattered. His heart surged with a violent storm.
At this point, even a fool could see the truth—Uchiha Yuta was the mastermind behind everything involving the Uchiha Clan.
It also explained why Danzo's Root forces, and even the entire Sarutobi Clan, had been annihilated.
Facing the Conqueror's Haki, Hiruzen relied on his own strength and the momentum of the Hokage title to barely resist. But emotionally, he couldn't accept the truth—that Uchiha Yuta had been the one behind everything.
He had monitored Yuta through the crystal ball. He had even ordered Shisui Uchiha to test him.
A pure taijutsu-focused Uchiha, harmless on the surface...
But now, that same "harmless" ninja had single-handedly stopped the Uchiha massacre, slaughtered every member of the Sarutobi Clan, and was now confronting him directly in the Hokage's office.
The slap in the face was loud and painful. Hiruzen bitterly regretted not having killed Yuta earlier.
…
In the midst of all this chaos, the only person maintaining calm was Uchiha Fugaku.
Having witnessed Yuta's terrifying strength and sensing his Haki firsthand, Fugaku felt no fear—only a strange sense of relief.
Fortunately… Uchiha Yuta was born in the Uchiha Clan.
"Now, can we talk?"
Yuta stepped forward, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips. He looked down at Koharu and Homura, and said coldly, "Do you still want to make a move?"
"Uchiha Yuta, are you rebelling?!"
Koharu, despite her fear, shouted with all the dignity she could muster, "You've hidden yourself for so many years… What an ambitious wolf!"
"If you dare, kill us!"
Before she could finish, Homura gathered some courage. His gaze was determined as he took a deep breath and declared, "We are the top council of Konoha. If you kill us—"
Swish!!
He never finished.
What the hell—
Laugh!!
Blood sprayed in the air. Before Homura could even react, he felt his head leave his body.
"How could this happen…?"
That was his final thought.
Seriously? All he did was issue a warning, and this madman just killed him without hesitation?
"You killed Homura too?!"
Koharu's face twisted in horror. She screamed, staring at Yuta as if he were a demon.
"Uchiha Yuta, you… you…"
Seeing Homura beheaded, and remembering that Shimura Danzo's head was still hidden under his desk, Hiruzen Sarutobi could no longer keep his composure. His entire body began to tremble.
"He literally asked me to kill him, didn't he?"
Yuta shrugged and laughed. "That's the most suicidal request I've ever heard."
"Oh, right. You…"
His eyes gleamed with icy light.
Cut the grass and remove the roots. Otherwise, they grow back in the spring breeze.
Since he'd started this... might as well finish it.
Danzo, Homura, and now… Koharu.
You wanted to mess with my peace? Stopped me from silently signing in?
Then I'll take your lives. Screw the original plotline.
"No… please… I surrender! I give up!!"
Sensing Yuta's killing intent, Koharu panicked completely. Despite being a top elder of Konoha, she didn't want to die.
Laugh!!
But it was already too late.
With a strange arc, the blade sliced clean through her neck.
Her head flew off, just like Homura's.
Maybe, even in her final moments, she didn't understand—why was Uchiha Yuta so ruthless?
They were high-ranking elders of Konoha, deserving at least some caution... weren't they?
But in the end?
Yuta killed them like they were dogs.
