Aburame Kenpei stared blankly at the searing bolt of lightning piercing through his chest—and the fountain of blood that followed.
For a moment, his mind couldn't process what had just happened.
"You… cough… you—"
His vision blurred as the man before him closed the distance, wreathed in crackling lightning, his crimson eyes burning like hellfire. In that instant, Kenpei saw death itself.
Then—
BOOM!
The lightning exploded outward, blasting a gaping, charred hole through Kenpei's torso. His body crumpled lifelessly to the ground, collapsing in the very ANBU prison he had sworn to protect.
Aburame Kenpei…
…was dead.
Ding!
[You have slain Aburame Kenpei, freeing him from the torment of his parasitic insects. Good deed! +100 Virtue Points!]
Uchiha Yoru took a deep breath.
Around him, the remaining ANBU prison guards had completely lost their will to fight, scattering in panic like rats. No doubt they were rushing to report to their superiors.
But Yoru didn't pursue them.
In fact…
He didn't even step outside the prison.
Amidst the carnage—bodies strewn across the floor, rivers of blood staining the stone—Yoru simply sat down, indifferent to the gore.
It was time to assess his gains.
This battle…
Fifteen criminals slain.
Five ANBU operatives killed, including Aburame Kenpei.
Total: Twenty lives extinguished.
The Virtue Points he earned ranged from 50 to 100 per kill, culminating in a staggering sum—
"1,480 points…?"
"This is beyond anything I've ever had before."
A faint smirk curled his lips.
Current Stats:
Attributes: Fire, Lightning, Yin, Yang Chakra: 700 Abilities: Mangekyō Sharingan (1,130/10,000) Left Eye: Kuebiko (500/1,000) Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique (MAX) Fire Release: Dragon Flame Technique (MAX) Uchiha-Style Kenjutsu (Advanced – 90/100) Lightning Release: False Darkness (Intermediate – 60/100) Lightning Style Blade: False Darkness (Intermediate – 60/100) Lightning Release Chakra Mode (Beginner – 50/100) Virtue Points: 1,480
…
Yoru exhaled. "Never fought a battle this profitable."
Without hesitation, he dumped 1,000 points into his Mangekyō Sharingan. This was his foundation—his lifeline.
Instantly—
HUM!
His ocular power surged to unprecedented heights, shattering past previous limits.
The remaining 480 points were distributed strategically:
10 points into Uchiha-Style Kenjutsu, finally maxing it out. 40 points each into False Darkness and False Darkness Blade, pushing both to perfection. 50 points into Lightning Release Chakra Mode, instantly elevating it to mastery.
Though "mastery" here only meant the technique's base form—not its pinnacle.
For example, the Third Raikage's legendary "Strongest Spear" (Hell Stab) and "Strongest Shield" (Lightning Armor) were still far beyond Yoru's reach. That man had carved through armies alone, his thunderous might unmatched in the shinobi world.
Yoru wasn't there… yet.
The last 340 points went into chakra reserves and his left eye's Mangekyō ability, Kuebiko.
Updated Stats:

…
Yoru grinned, savoring the explosive growth in his power.
Then, surrounded by corpses and blood, he crossed his legs and began meditating—
Waiting for the storm to come.
◈
Night had fallen.
The new moon left the sky starless, thick clouds smothering any trace of light. The village was swallowed by an abyssal darkness.
Meanwhile…
Uchiha Shisui stood firm, blocking Uchiha Fugaku's path.
The clan leader's fury burned at Shisui's betrayal—but even worse was the realization that Hiruzen Sarutobi had laid a trap for Yoru from the start.
And Shisui, the prodigy Fugaku had once placed all his hopes in, was now siding with the Hokage, stopping him from saving Yoru.
"ROAR!"
Fugaku's Sharingan flared to life, its crimson glow cutting through the night.
But Shisui only sighed, closing his eyes briefly before reopening them—
HUM!
Mangekyō Sharingan.
The pressure alone forced Fugaku back, its oppressive aura freezing even the Uchiha police force in place.
"The Mangekyō…"
"So it's true!"
Shisui's voice was calm but firm. "Don't make me do this, Clan Leader."
Fugaku knew Shisui outmatched him.
But retreating wasn't an option—not when Yoru's life hung in the balance.
"You've betrayed the entire clan!"
"No. I chose the village. You're the one with narrow vision."
"Bullshit!"
"Every word is sincere."
"MOVE!"
Shisui shook his head. "You can't win."
Fugaku knew that.
But he refused to let Yoru die like this.
Just as the two were about to clash—
"AAAAAGH!"
A group of ANBU guards came sprinting from the prison's direction, their faces twisted in terror.
Shisui's expression darkened.
"What happened?!" he demanded, grabbing one by the collar.
The man gasped for breath, his voice trembling.
"C-Captain Shisui! The prison—it's—!"
Fugaku's heart lurched. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO Yoru?!"
The ANBU's pupils shook.
"T-That monster… Uchiha Yoru was never sealed!"
"He slaughtered every criminal… and then—!"
Shisui's blood ran cold. "AND THEN WHAT?!"
"HE KILLED ANBU! DOZENS OF THEM!"
"WHAT?!"
The ANBU behind Shisui paled.
Fugaku and the Uchiha police, however, felt a surge of hope.
"Yoru…"
"Captain Yoru! I knew you wouldn't fall so easily!"
"This… this changes everything!"
Shisui's fists clenched. "What's the prison's status?!"
"C-Captain Aburame Kenpei engaged him, but…"
He didn't need to finish. Shisui understood.
"Alert the Hokage! The rest of you—"
"WITH ME!"
He and the ANBU task force bolted toward the prison.
Fugaku immediately gave chase.
"Move out!"
"YES, SIR!"
Though the night was pitch-black, Fugaku's heart burned with newfound resolve.
"There's no mistake…"
"Yoru…"
"You are the one who will carry the Uchiha's future!"
