Chapter 10: The Murderer Is In Our Clan
"Although the task of killing the two elders was challenging, Uchiha Eren and Uchiha Shanks accepted it without hesitation.
"Don't worry, I'll instruct some people to cooperate with you. Remember, don't expose anything," Yuu said, emphasizing secrecy as he sent someone to assassinate the two elders.
"Understood, please rest assured, Lord Yuu," replied Uchiha Eren.
In fact, simply killing the two elders wasn't difficult. While the second and third elders of the Uchiha family might have been strong in their youth, they were now older and their strength had declined. They may not be as powerful as Jōnin anymore.
With Uchiha Shanks and Uchiha Eren's strength, it wasn't hard to eliminate them, but the challenge lay in doing so discreetly.
"Let's hope they don't disappoint me," Yuu remarked, confident that they would succeed without detection.
If Yuu made a move, he would certainly be able to handle those two old guys without them even realizing it, and he definitely wouldn't expose himself.
But if the boss doing everything, what should the younger brother do?
[Ding, order to assassinate two elders, get: 50 detonating charms, evil points+2000]
After waiting for two hours, Yuu received a system prompt indicating his reward for the successful assassination of the elders.
However, Yuu wasn't satisfied with the reward. It seemed that he had to find Uchiha Mikoto when he had time
A few minutes later, Uchiha Eren and Uchiha Shanks returned.
"Lord Yuu, the mission is complete, we made sure not to expose anything."
"Well done, I'm impressed. Here's a B-level ninjutsu scroll for Fire Style Majestic Destroyer Flame. After you read it, burn the scroll," Yuu said, handing them the scroll.
"This is the lost ninjutsu being Majestic Destroyer Flame," Yuu explained.
The two were thrilled. This Fire Style ninjutsu was once lost in the Uchiha family, known for its powerful attack capabilities.
As a B-rank ninjutsu, its power rivaled that of A-rank ninjutsu and could even match S-rank ninjutsu in the hands of a skilled user.
In fact, the level of ninjutsu generally refers to the difficulty of learning, but the higher the learning difficulty, the more powerful and effective the ninjutsu, so it is true that the higher the level of ninjutsu, the more powerful it is.
"Leave first, and leave the murder weapon you used in the assassination."
After letting them go, Yuu continued refining his Chakra. The daily practice of Yuu has never stopped. Before the awakening of the system, the ability to have a quasi-Kage-level strength is inseparable from Yuu's efforts, and with the system's assistance, his strength had grown significantly.
Having reached Kage-level, Yuu's Chakra had increased tenfold, both in quantity and quality. The ninjutsu he now wielded was far more potent than before.
Unleashing the same ninjutsu, consuming the same Chakra, the ninjutsu he unleashes now is much more powerful than before.
"Perhaps I'll try Ryūjin Jakka's Shikai another day," Yuu thought, wiping down the blade.
After attaining Kage-level strength, Yuu had ascended to a level akin to a Shikai. With the power akin to Shikai Ryūjin Jakka, he felt confident that even when facing powerhouses at the pinnacle of Kage-level, he could reduce them to ashes.
The next day, Yuupracticed Lightning Style Chidori and Fire Style Majestic Destroyer Flame in a secluded training ground. Thanks to the system, he could use purchased ninjutsu without learning at all effortlessly.
As for Ryūjin Jakka, Yuu held off on testing it. Even in its Shikai state, it remained his ultimate trump card.
If he could sustain his Shikai state for an extended duration, Yuu wouldn't even fear super Kage-level powerhouses.
However, revealing such a trump card was not a decision to be taken lightly, particularly for ninjas. Exposing it could signify impending doom.
Following this, Yuu dedicated himself to training in physical skills and swordsmanship. But before his training concluded, a visitor arrived.
The bodies of the second and third elders were finally discovered.
Inside the elders' residence, Uchiha Fugaku wore a somber expression, his demeanor enough to frighten even the most stoic.
"Who did this, and who dared to kill the two elders of our Uchiha family, so bold, this captain will never let the murderer go," Yuu's righteous voice came, and anger could be heard faintly.
Uchiha Eren, who knew the truth, couldn't help but exclaimed. As expected of Lord Yuu, his acting skills were simply superb
"Captain Yuu, you really don't know who did it?" Uchiha Lin looked at Uchiha Yuu coldly
Although there is no evidence, he suspects that this is what Uchiha Yuu did
"If I knew who did it, I would have caught the murderer long ago," Yuu retorted impassively.
"The two elders worked hard and made great achievements, but they were assassinated unexpectedly. This murderer, our Uchiha family will never let go" proclaimed Yuu with resolve.
"Yes, the murderer must not be spared," chorused the others.
Uchiha Fugaku glared at Yuu, his eyes ablaze with resentment. If looks could kill, Yuu would have been vanquished a thousand times over.
"As the captain of the Konoha Guard, the death of the elder is my dereliction of duty" Yuu confessed with a heavy heart, ignoring Uchiha Fugaku's knife-like gaze with a guilty expression on his face..
"Captain, don't say that. The murderers who assassinated the two elders are too cunning. It's not the captain's fault," Uchiha Eren interjected swiftly, echoing Yuu's sentiments with practiced sincerity.
"Everyone, the death of the two elders, I suspect the murderer, is hidden in our Uchiha clan, that is, someone in our clan," proclaimed Uchiha Fugaku as he strode to the center of the gathering.
In Uchiha Fugaku's mind, there was no doubt that Uchiha Yuu was the culprit behind the elders' demise. He was convinced of this without a shadow of doubt.
"Lord Fugaku, don't talk nonsense," retorted one clan member. "I don't believe it. The two elders must have been killed by outsiders, not our own."
"Where is your evidence, Fugaku-san?" another demanded.
"..."
Uchiha Fugaku's assertion stirred a mixture of excitement and indignation among the assembled clan members. Suspecting one of their own as the murderer was a bitter pill to swallow.
Uchiha Lin's expression shifted upon hearing Uchiha Fugaku's accusation. Silently, he shook his head, recognizing the recklessness of Fugaku's words. "Fugaku is too radical," he thought to himself.
The murderer is definitely related to Uchiha Yuu, there is absolutely no doubt about it, but since the other party dares to do it, he will definitely not leave evidence.
While Uchiha Fugaku was adamant in his belief, Uchiha Yuu remained composed, meeting his accuser's gaze evenly.
"Search the clan. Even if we must scour every corner of Konoha, I have to find the murderer. I don't believe the other party can leave no clues," declared Uchiha Fugaku, his gaze fixed firmly on Uchiha Yuu.
The ninja's investigation ability is very strong, and he can even obtain some information from the corpse.
He does not believe that Uchiha Yuu can do it flawlessly. Even if Uchiha Yuu didn't do this by himself, it was also done by the people Uchiha Yuu instructed him to do. Even if Uchiha Yuu can't do anything this time, he will cut off one of his arms.
