Chapter 10: Slaying Konohamaru! Uchiha's Revenge!
---
"Haha, do you think you can let your guard down now that the Uchiha threat is gone?!"
Appearing in the Sarutobi clan grounds using his Fire Release teleportation technique, Uchiha Yi finally spotted Konohamaru Sarutobi and Asuma Sarutobi. However, he didn't reveal himself immediately.
After carefully observing for a long time, Yi confirmed that only one Special Jonin was guarding Konohamaru. This was an ideal opportunity.
Compared to the Jonin-level Asuma, Konohamaru was clearly the easier target.
"Out of the fire!"
Waiting until Konohamaru approached a lit candle, Uchiha Yi decisively emerged from the flames. The next second, his short blade slashed toward Konohamaru's neck.
The three- to four-year-old Konohamaru and the unsuspecting Special Jonin guardian never anticipated such a sudden attack.
Slash!
In a flash of steel, Konohamaru's head separated cleanly from his body, death coming instantly and painlessly.
The moment Konohamaru was slain, an overwhelming emotion surged through Yi, focusing entirely on his eyes. His pupils began spinning like pinwheels, transforming into the iconic three-tomoe Sharingan!
The evolution from two tomoe to three was surprisingly simple.
Yi understood that this result stemmed from the intense resentment left behind by the original consciousness of his body. If it were just his own emotions—detached from this world—he wouldn't even have awakened a single tomoe.
"It seems I'm not done yet."
His heart hardened by life's trials, Yi was now entirely indifferent. Killing for the first time didn't stir even a flicker of guilt or discomfort within him.
He was only slightly disappointed that this act hadn't pushed his Sharingan into the Mangekyo stage. A missed opportunity.
"Argh!"
"You bastard!"
The Special Jonin assigned to guard Konohamaru was horrified to see the boy's lifeless body. His scalp tingled, a cold sweat forming instantly.
Konohamaru was his responsibility—Sarutobi Hiruzen's cherished grandson! The implications of this failure were unthinkable. His career, his life—it was all over.
Fury overtook him, his veins bulging with rage as he charged at Uchiha Yi, seeking to avenge Konohamaru. But Yi only sneered coldly, the crimson glow of his three-tomoe Sharingan shining ominously.
"Now's not the time to play with you."
Snatching Konohamaru's lifeless body, Yi invoked Fire Escape, disappearing before the Special Jonin could land a blow. He had no interest in wasting time on this minor figure.
The mission was far from over.
A Fractured Leaf Village
Back at the Sarutobi residence, chaos erupted.
The Special Jonin, knowing his failure would lead to execution or worse, decided to flee the village before the truth came to light. "No way I'm reporting this," he thought grimly as he sped toward the gates, praying for survival.
Meanwhile, Yi arrived in the heart of Konoha, the bustling central district.
The village had seemingly moved on from the panic caused by the Uchiha massacre. The streets were alive with chatter, stalls, and a veneer of peace.
Yi, however, wasn't fooled by this facade. He knew the darkness that lingered beneath the surface, and he was about to bring it into the light.
Not far away, Sasuke Uchiha, the sole survivor of his clan, trudged listlessly out of the Uchiha compound. Days of grief and hunger had pushed him to the brink, but he refused to succumb. His heart, filled with icy resolve, burned with a singular purpose: revenge.
"Hey, Sasuke! Are you okay? Iruka-sensei told us you haven't been feeling well!"
Naruto Uzumaki, alongside other classmates, called out to him, faces filled with genuine concern. Yet Sasuke couldn't bear to show any vulnerability. His icy tone cut through the air.
"Leave me alone."
Brushing past them, Sasuke ignored their protests. Behind him, Sakura Haruno and others watched helplessly, unsure how to respond.
"Troublesome," muttered Shikamaru Nara, shaking his head at the situation.
"Look over there!" Kiba Inuzuka's voice suddenly broke the tension, tinged with fear. Everyone turned their heads, following his gaze.
The Spectacle of Blood
A cloaked and masked figure walked calmly through the heart of Konoha, carrying a severed head in one hand and a headless corpse in the other.
The grisly sight froze the village in its tracks. Civilians gasped, some screaming, while others scattered in terror. Children stared wide-eyed, paralyzed with fear.
Even Sasuke, still within earshot, turned to look. The horrifying scene brought back the memories of his clan's slaughter, further igniting his deep-seated hatred.
A crowd quickly gathered, curiosity mingling with dread. Dark whispers spread like wildfire.
Yi smirked under his mask. This was the spectacle he had planned. The entire village needed to witness this act of vengeance.
Konoha's ANBU finally arrived, their faces pale as they recognized the corpse.
"That's… the Hokage's grandson, Konohamaru?"
"This can't be happening. Who did this?"
"Who is this guy?"
They surrounded the masked figure, their weapons drawn, trying to contain the panic. Some were dispatched to alert Sarutobi Hiruzen, while others scrambled to clear the area of civilians.
It wasn't long before Hiruzen himself, accompanied by Danzo Shimura and other high-ranking officials, arrived on the scene.
The Third Hokage froze at the sight of Konohamaru's lifeless body. His weathered face twisted with grief and fury. He was no longer the composed leader the villagers revered.
The Message of Revenge
"Who are you? What is the meaning of this?" Hiruzen's voice trembled with suppressed rage as he addressed the masked figure.
Yi chuckled coldly, activating his Sharingan for all to see. The scarlet glow sent waves of shock through the crowd.
"I'm surprised, Hokage-sama. Have you already forgotten the Uchiha? Did you think you could exterminate my clan and escape unscathed?"
"What?! An Uchiha survivor? But that's impossible!" The murmurs of disbelief swept through the crowd, though a few exchanged knowing glances, their suspicions about the massacre bubbling to the surface.
"Enough talk. What do you want?" Hiruzen demanded, his voice firm despite the turmoil in his heart.
Yi's voice dropped to a venomous whisper. "Revenge. On the Sarutobi clan. On the Shimura clan. On every coward who participated in the Uchiha massacre. Your precious grandson, Konohamaru, is just the beginning."
The villagers recoiled in shock. Even Hiruzen's closest allies felt a chill as they looked into Yi's spinning Sharingan.
"Repent. Fear. Suffer. Then die. I'll send every last one of you to hell."
With that, Yi hurled Konohamaru's body at the Hokage's feet.
