Chapter 71: The God of the Uchiha Clan
The Uchiha Clan District.
When Uchiha Yuta returned to the square with Shimura Danzo's severed head in hand, the entire crowd fell into stunned silence.
Everyone's expressions froze.
Especially when they saw Danzo's face twisted in agony, his lifeless eyes staring into the void—the hearts of the Uchiha ninjas trembled uncontrollably. Their minds echoed with disbelief.
He's dead…
The leader of Konoha's "Root" organization…
One of the village's top leaders…
Shimura Danzo had actually died like this?
To be fair, Root's strength wasn't weak. Danzo himself was a formidable figure. For this Uchiha extermination mission, he had mobilized nearly all his forces.
Under normal circumstances, annihilating the Uchiha clan would have been effortless.
But no one expected…
They would encounter a hidden monster like Uchiha Yuta.
Danzo didn't even have the chance to use the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique before dying.
Just thinking about the desperation of Danzo and the Root operatives in their final moments made their fates all the more terrifying.
Seconds passed.
One second... three seconds... ten seconds…
Until—
A full minute later,
Uchiha Yuta casually tossed Danzo's head onto the ground. The dull thud brought everyone back to reality.
"Ahhh—!! Danzo is dead! Root has been annihilated!"
"Lord Yuta is too terrifying!"
"From now on, Uchiha Yuta-sama is a god among us. I'm going to train my taijutsu harder from now on!"
---
The square erupted in waves of excited cheers and awe-struck shouts.
One by one, every Uchiha ninja present looked at Uchiha Yuta with admiration and feverish reverence.
"He truly is the god of the Uchiha clan…"
Uchiha Fugaku took a deep breath. For the first time in years, a surge of pride and heroism filled his chest. "From now on, the Uchiha will rise again... just like during the Warring States Era."
"Danzo is dead. Root has been destroyed. The plan to wipe out the Uchiha is finished..."
Far away, Uchiha Itachi, who had retreated some distance earlier, could no longer maintain his composure. His normally calm expression was now twisted in disbelief.
What… is going on?
He couldn't comprehend it.
The Uchiha clan had clearly run out of options.
And yet—this hidden old monster named Uchiha Yuta suddenly stepped forward and single-handedly turned the tide, extending the life of the clan.
It made Itachi feel sick.
He had sacrificed so much—taken the burden of murdering his clan upon himself to prevent civil war and uphold the Will of Fire.
And now? Danzo was dead, and Konoha was heading toward internal chaos regardless.
He had become nothing more than a traitor in the eyes of his clan. The stares of hatred and murder directed at him from his fellow Uchiha were unbearable.
---
"This guy… Yuta…"
On the other side, the masked man—Uchiha Obito—stood still, shaken.
The strength Uchiha Yuta had just displayed…
It was completely beyond comprehension.
Elite taijutsu?
That was the biggest joke Obito had ever heard.
---
Yuta's lips curled into a mocking smile.
He swept his gaze between Obito and Itachi and said coldly, "Danzo and Root are finished. All that remains are you two—the true traitors of the Uchiha clan."
His voice was calm, but carried deadly weight.
"A new era for Konoha begins—after you two are eliminated."
Then, turning toward Obito specifically, Yuta narrowed his eyes. "Right, Uchiha Obito?"
---
Boom!
The square fell into stunned silence once again.
"Uchiha Obito?!"
"No way! I thought Obito died during the Third Great Ninja War!"
"That masked guy is really Obito?!"
---
Under the mask, Obito's face stiffened.
Someone had exposed his identity…
His expression remained cold, but inwardly, he was spiraling.
How did Yuta know?
He had hidden everything perfectly.
"I'm Madara Uchiha," Obito said, voice sharp and deep.
Yuta scoffed, shaking his head. "Don't play pretend. You're Obito—your loser aura gave it away. That pathetic energy is unforgettable."
"You—!"
Obito nearly choked in rage.
What the hell was "loser aura" supposed to mean?!
He wasn't the same fool from his youth anymore!
Still—facing Yuta's overwhelming presence, Obito took a deep breath and composed himself.
"The Uchiha Obito you knew is dead."
---
"Oh?"
Yuta grinned and raised Cong Yun Slash casually in one hand.
"No more talking."
---
Sensing the surge of killing intent from Uchiha Yuta, both Obito and Itachi exchanged brief glances and entered combat stances.
The real fight was about to begin.
