Chapter 70: The End of Shimura Danzo
Quiet!!
The entire square fell into utter silence.
In that moment—
Time and space themselves seemed frozen.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the more than 300 Root ninjas who had just been annihilated by a single punch from Uchiha Yuta. Onlookers like the masked man Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Itachi, and Uchiha Fugaku were completely stunned.
Judging from the sheer power he unleashed, everyone already knew that Uchiha Yuta was incredibly strong.
But… to think that he hadn't even made a move before this…
And once he did—it was a massacre.
More than 300 elite ninjas, all destroyed in a single strike.
The terrifying destructive power wasn't just overwhelming—
It was inhuman.
"So this is Root?"
Even the Uchiha clan members were left speechless. They opened their mouths as if to speak, but no words came.
After all—
These were Root ninjas.
The elite forces personally trained and selected by Shimura Danzo.
And yet?
Against Uchiha Yuta...
They were nothing.
Utterly defenseless.
"This... This doesn't even seem like the limit of a Kekkei Genkai..."
From the shadows, White Zetsu and Black Zetsu felt an overwhelming wave of fear and disbelief.
Yuta's abilities didn't match any existing record they knew of.
"Damn, I'm glad I ran..."
Meanwhile, far from the battlefield, Shimura Danzo continued using Body Flicker after Body Flicker in a desperate attempt to flee from the Uchiha clan district.
As he escaped, he heard the earth-shattering blast behind him. He couldn't help but glance back...
And what he saw made his blood run cold.
The bodies of more than 300 Root ninjas had been utterly disintegrated by a single wave of glowing white energy.
"He's a monster… Run!!"
Swish!!
Channeling his chakra, Danzo fled like a beaten dog.
Finally, as he reached the edge of the Uchiha clan territory, a brief glint of relief flashed in his eyes.
But the moment he glanced back again—
His soul nearly escaped from his body.
Because at some unknown moment…
Uchiha Yuta had already appeared behind him, staring at him with a calm smile.
Like a god of death.
"Trying to run?"
Yuta tilted his head slightly. "Since you're already here, why not stay forever?"
To be honest—
Shimura Danzo was never more than bottom-tier among Kage-level powerhouses.
He obsessed over acquiring Sharingan and Senju DNA, hoping to bridge that gap.
But unfortunately for him…
He ran into Uchiha Yuta, who had been quietly signing in for ten years and had now fully revealed his terrifying strength.
"You..."
Danzo's expression twisted in panic as he hastily began forming hand seals.
"Ahhh—!!"
Before he could finish, a sharp screech echoed across the night.
In an instant, Yuta's Cong Yun Sword slashed down, severing Danzo's right arm—the arm wrapped in bandages and filled with secrets.
Blood gushed everywhere.
"You grafted Hashirama's cells to yourself, but never got the chance to transplant the Sharingan, huh..."
Yuta looked down at the severed arm and shook his head. "From the moment you stepped into Uchiha territory, your fate was sealed."
"No... Uchiha Yuta, you can't kill me!"
Danzo clutched his bleeding shoulder, his face distorted with fear.
"I did everything... for Konoha's peace! Do you understand what the Will of Fire means?!"
"Of course I do."
Yuta smirked coldly.
"But from now on, Konoha will bear the Uchiha name—and peace will be maintained by the Uchiha clan."
"Y-You... You what?!"
Danzo's eyes bulged in horror.
Konoha… bearing the Uchiha name?
That meant Sarutobi Hiruzen would be overthrown—perhaps even killed—
And the Uchiha would control everything?
At that thought, Danzo's heart filled with dread.
"No… I have to report to the Hokage's Office..."
Clutching his severed arm, Danzo muttered to himself like a madman,
"I can't die… not yet. I must still become Hokage… I still…"
"You want to live. But did you ever consider those you wanted to kill?"
Yuta let out a sigh and stopped talking.
The Cong Yun Sword swung once more—
Poof!!
A clean slash.
Blood arced through the air.
A deep gash opened across Danzo's neck.
"I… I don't want to die..."
As his life faded, Danzo's body stiffened.
His bulging eyes remained wide open with unwillingness.
He never imagined he would die like this—
Carrying out the Uchiha extermination plan…
Only to be executed by a member of that very clan.
Poetic justice.

Meanwhile, back in the Hokage's Office…
It was late at night.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane were wide awake. They were sipping tea and chatting calmly, as if waiting for good news.
"Cough..."
Suddenly, Sarutobi choked on his pipe.
"What's wrong, Hiruzen? Getting old?"
Homura chuckled.
"I'm fine," Sarutobi replied, putting the pipe down. He took a sip of hot tea, but his brows furrowed.
Just now…
He had felt a bad omen.
"Don't tell me… Something went wrong with the Uchiha clan operation?"
He immediately shook his head.
"Impossible…"
Sarutobi forced a smile.
Everything was planned perfectly.
There was no way the extermination plan could fail.
Of course…
If it weren't for the barrier around the Uchiha district, he would've used the crystal ball to watch the whole operation like a live broadcast.
