My name is Uchiha Touhuan, and I beat the villagers so badly they cried out in pain.

After Uchiha Touhuan drew his sword to block the attack, he glanced at the kunai in Aburame Ryoma's hand and chuckled, "A specially made glass kunai? Too bad, it's useless."

The next second, the shuriken hovering around Uchiha instantly shot towards Aburame Ryoma, who had just appeared.

Aburame Ryoma hurriedly used his insect substitute to escape, but as soon as he landed, Uchiha Touhuan's next slash arrived immediately. Uchiha Touhuan, whose body was crackling with electricity, was incredibly fast.

The relentless, deadly slashes left Aburame Ryoma overwhelmed. As an insect master, he wasn't particularly skilled in close combat and could only frequently use insect substitutes to escape from Uchiha Touhuan's blades. However, each insect substitute he used meant that a batch of insects he had cultivated would perish under Uchiha Touhuan's lightning.

Within minutes, Aburame Ryoma had been in grave danger several times. Just as Uchiha Touken was about to end Aburame Ryoma's life, everything suddenly went black.

"Using this technique against an Uchiha who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan? That's suicide."

Within the realm of consciousness, Uchiha Touhuan's Mangekyou Sharingan flashed, and Yamanaka Fu, who was hiding in the shadows attempting to launch a sneak attack using the Mind Turn Technique, suddenly groaned, coughed up blood, and collapsed.

"Go and catch that one, alive." Uchiha Touhuan ordered Inahisa and Zaito with ease, while forcing out Aburame Ryoma's insect substitute with another slash.

"Little mouse playing with insects, now that you have a better captive, it's over." Uchiha Touhuan laughed, stabbing Aburame Ryoma in the back. Instantly, lightning crackled, and in no time, only a charred corpse remained on the ground.

On the other side, Uchiha Inahisa and Uchiha Zaito easily captured Yamanaka Fu, who had completely lost his ability to resist due to the backlash of the clan's secret technique.

"Zaidou, take this guy back to the clan's interrogation room and treat him well. Don't let him die. Inaho, go to the Hokage Building and report that we encountered violent resistance from the remaining Root forces during our investigation, forcing us to take emergency measures. All the villains have been killed." Uchiha Touhuan gave the order after dealing with Aburame Ryoma.

"Yes!" The two nodded in agreement, and then went their separate ways in two different directions according to Uchiha Touhuan's instructions.

Uchiha Touhuan, on the other hand, walked alone towards the Root base underground.

After entering the Root base, the remaining Root members began to relentlessly attack Uchiha Tohkan. However, Uchiha Tohkan only needed one strike to resolve the situation each time. In this way, Uchiha Tohkan fought his way from the gate of the Root base to the core area inside the base. In just ten minutes, dozens of ninja corpses lay scattered everywhere.

Upon entering Danzo's office, Uchiha Touhuan's first sight was a floor covered in ashes. It seemed that all of Danzo's secrets had been burned to ashes. Seeing this, Uchiha Touhuan smiled slightly, then unrolled a sealed scroll and took out a document.

"The Root organization is quite efficient. I thought I'd have to help them clean up." Uchiha Touhuan reached out and threw the documents he had taken out into the air, then ignited them with a Great Fireball.

After burning about half of the documents that Uchiha Touhuan had taken out, Uchiha Touhuan slowly formed hand seals.

Water Release: Water Chaos Waves.

A large amount of water mist appeared around Uchiha Touhuan, then condensed into droplets that fell onto the still-burning papers on the ground. Wisps of smoke drifted out as Uchiha Touhuan picked up the documents, which were half-burned.

……

After a long while, Uchiha Inahime, who had gone to report to Hiruzen Sarutobi, arrived late with the ANBU ninja sent by the Third Hokage.

Although the leader was wearing an Anbu mask, his white hair made it easy for Uchiha Touhuan to identify him as the famous Konoha technician, Hatake Kakashi.

When Kakashi entered the Root base and saw the corpses scattered all over the ground, he couldn't help but frown. It wasn't out of pity, but because these Root ninjas were, after all, ninjas from the village. After Danzo's death, there was still a possibility that they might have reformed. But at this moment, they had all been killed by Uchiha Touhuan.

"Kakashi-senpai, it's you here." Uchiha Touhuan greeted Kakashi with a smile. He wasn't surprised that the Third Hokage hadn't come in person. After all, under the intimidation of Kotoamatsukami, this ninja hero probably wouldn't be willing to face Uchiha Touhuan face to face.

Kakashi, hidden behind the mask, did not respond. Uchiha Tohkan, however, was not annoyed and continued speaking to himself.

"When I arrived here, these remnants of Root were destroying the evidence left behind by Shimura Danzo. Fortunately, I arrived in time and preserved some of it." Uchiha Touhuan came to Kakashi's side and lowered his voice. "I found something special in these documents that I think you will be interested in."

After saying that, Uchiha Touhuan took out a document that had been mostly burned and showed it to Kakashi.

The names above made Kakashi's pupils shrink: Hatake Sakumo, Kishida Keisuke, Arima Kiya, and the ninja whose surname was only Higashiyama. But Kakashi immediately filled in the missing name: Higashiyama Ryota.

These were the participants in the mission that changed his father's life.

The words "silenced" following these names sent a chill down Kakashi's spine.

"Alright, now that you're here, help dispose of these corpses." Uchiha Touhuan put away the document, patted Kakashi on the shoulder, and then sighed, "It's such a pity. They were all ninjas from the village, yet they were brainwashed like this by Danzo. I didn't want to kill them either."

After saying that, Uchiha Touhuan walked outside, gesturing for Uchiha Inahisa to follow.

"Wait a minute!" Kakashi suddenly called out to Uchiha Touhuan, who had already reached the door of the office.

"What is it, Kakashi-senpai?" Uchiha Touhuan turned around with a warm smile on his face. "I still need to go back and sort out the remaining evidence and interrogate the captured Root remnants."

"N-nothing...it's nothing." Kakashi Hatake hesitated for a moment behind his mask, suppressing his urge to ask Touhuan Uchiha for clarification.

"Then I'll be going now. Please give my regards to the Hokage for me." Uchiha Touhuan said, turning to leave. After a while, as if remembering something, he turned back and said, "By the way, Kakashi-senpai, if you have time, come visit the clan. Grandma Miori hasn't been feeling well lately, and she's been talking about you."
