Chapter 107: 107: Cruel Torture in the Tsukuyomi World, Uchiha Wipe Out Sarutobi
Hearing these words from Night Star, Sarutobi Hiruzen's first reaction was to form a hand seal, disrupting the flow of chakra within his body.
After a few seconds, seeing that the surroundings remained unchanged, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
The feeling of being caught in a genjutsu and being led by the nose was truly unpleasant.
Sarutobi Hiruzen slightly lowered his head, avoiding direct eye contact with Night Star, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Launching an armed coup do you know what consequences this will bring to the Uchiha clan?"
"Coup?"
Hearing the term used by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Night Star revealed a hint of a disdainful smile.
"You are no longer the Third Hokage, and while I speak, records of your crimes over the years have already been distributed to every villager."
"You, Sarutobi Hiruzen, are a criminal of Konoha."
"We, the Uchiha, are cleansing the village of its filth."
Hearing these words, Sarutobi Hiruzen clenched his teeth, his face twisting in anger.
He had never expected the situation to escalate to this point.
How had his actions over the years been exposed?
Not only to Senju Tobirama, but did the entire village know as well?
Even if he managed to survive today, his position as Hokage was undoubtedly lost.
"From where did you learn all this?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't understand. After all these years without a single slip-up, how had Night Star, an Uchiha, managed to grasp such crucial evidence?
Mere words from Yuuhi Kurenai couldn't possibly have convinced the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, to revoke his appointment and even side with the Uchiha, whom he had always despised as inherently evil.
Night Star must have held some key evidence.
"Curious?"
Night Star smiled, pulling out a scroll from his robe and tossing it at Sarutobi Hiruzen's feet.
"Pick it up and take a look."
Sarutobi Hiruzen bent down, picked up the scroll, and opened it. Inside were detailed records of all the things he had done in secret with Danzo since becoming Hokage.
From the times and locations to the specific methods, everything was clearly described.
It was as if the person who wrote this scroll had been present at every event.
"This is!?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's hands trembled as he realized who must have written this scroll.
He forced a bitter smile and let out a heavy sigh.
"I never expected that the one who destroyed the Root's underground base was you."
Night Star replied indifferently.
"And the one who will destroy you is Shimura Danzo. Of course, he will soon join you."
"Hmph."
Now that things had come to this, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to drop all pretense. Shedding his usual kind and amiable demeanor, he spoke coldly.
"You evil brat, daring to face me alone this is the worst decision you've ever made!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly formed several hand seals and shouted.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!"
True to his reputation as the "Professor of Ninjutsu," Sarutobi Hiruzen unleashed three high-level techniques of different elements in one go.
But in the next second, he watched as the combined ninjutsu, which had consumed a massive amount of his chakra, passed right through Night Star is body.
It was as if there was no one there at all.
"Genjutsu?"
The thought crossed Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, and he quickly formed seals to disrupt his chakra flow, but the scene before him remained unchanged.
"Not genjutsu... Then what is this..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen instinctively looked up, and what met his eyes was a pair of crimson Mangekyou Sharingan.
"No!"
The moment his eyes met Night Star is, he realized he had made a grave mistake, but it was already too late.
"Tsukuyomi."
As Night Star uttered these words, Sarutobi Hiruzen was pulled into the illusory world of Tsukuyomi by the power of the Mangekyou.
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a searing pain shoot through his limbs.
Turning his head, he saw that his arms and legs were nailed to a cross with black spikes.
A strange red moon hung in the sky, casting a desolate sense of despair over the world.
This world was undoubtedly an illusion.
But the pain and despair Sarutobi Hiruzen felt were all too real.
Night Star, holding a short blade, appeared before him with a kind smile, accompanied by a distortion of space. He asked softly,
"How resilient is your spirit? How long can you endure in this enhanced Tsukuyomi world? I'm truly curious."
As he spoke, a notification sound came from the diary.
[Ding! Mission triggered.]
[Objective: Make Sarutobi Hiruzen endure as much pain and torment as possible before his death, and record the entire process.]
[Reward: Enhanced Five Elements Affinity (determined by mission completion).]
Even without the diary issuing the mission, Night Star had already planned to return all the suffering the Uchiha clan had endured over the years onto Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen clenched his teeth, his expression one of defiance, and spoke coldly.
"Do you think I fear death!? What a joke!"
"Death, of course, is not scary for you."
Night Star smiled nonchalantly and spoke slowly.
"But here, death does not mean liberation."
"How you die each time, the pain you feel all of it is determined by me."
"In this Tsukuyomi world, life and death are under my control."
At this point, Night Star paused, raised the short blade in his hand, and looked directly into Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes as he slowly drove the blade into the other's abdomen.
"So, your pain has only just begun."
Meanwhile, outside the Sarutobi clan's compound.
Dozens of Sarutobi clan ninja were shouting in anger.
"Why are you stopping us!?"
"That's right! Are our movements restricted now!?"
"Police force, you have some nerve! Aren't you afraid the Hokage will hold you accountable!?"
At that moment, an elderly man in black robes slowly walked over from a distance.
The members of the police force immediately saluted him upon seeing him.
"Patriarch Setsuna."
"Hm."
Uchiha Setsuna nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the complaining Sarutobi ninja and spoke coldly.
"I've already said that no one from the Sarutobi clan is allowed to leave the compound today."
Hearing this, one of the Sarutobi ninja stepped forward, his expression hostile.
"Why? Do you really think the police force has the authority to control us?"
Uchiha Setsuna smiled faintly and looked at the man.
"So, you're determined to leave here today, no matter what?"
Seeing his reaction, the Sarutobi ninja thought Uchiha Setsuna was afraid of him. He reached out to push Uchiha Setsuna's shoulder, muttering as he did so.
"Get out of the way if you know what's good for you!"
"Swish!"
A blinding flash of blade light cut through the air.
The Sarutobi ninja clutched his throat, blood seeping through his fingers. He fell to the ground, his face filled with disbelief, as if he couldn't believe he had been killed in front of everyone.
Uchiha Setsuna flicked the blood off his short blade, the droplets hitting the ground with a soft sound.
He looked at the dozens of Sarutobi ninja before him, his aged face revealing a chilling killing intent, and spoke coldly.
"Anyone who tries to leave today will end up like him dead under my blade."
