A flock of crows flew overhead, and one of them had eyes that were different—blood-red with several tomoe-like markings…

Just as those ANBU were watching Sasuke, a pitcher plant quietly peeked out from the corner of the house, then retreated back underground after a while.

That night, the Uchiha clan compound was bustling with activity, including the main body, shadow clones, and ninjas who thought they were well hidden.

There was also an old man dressed strangely who appeared on the roof after Sasuke fell asleep, and sat quietly watching all night.

Everything seemed calm, but only Zuo Zhu knew that his every move was being watched by a group of people, and even by non-human beings.

Until dawn...

A new day dawned. After waking up, Sasuke took a shower, went to Ichiraku Ramen to fill his stomach, and then quickly ran to school.

He seemed to have completely adapted to sleeping in the corner overnight, without even feeling aggrieved.

It's a new day, and the learning continues.

For Zuo Zhu, the interactions between classmates are meaningless at the moment.

Aside from occasionally exchanging a few words with Naruto, he completely ignored everyone else.

Especially with the noise from Sakura and Ino, even a glance from Sasuke wouldn't attract their attention.

Sasuke couldn't even hear what they were saying.

This continued, with Iruka providing him with his monthly living expenses. Although the meals were simple, he was at least not hungry.

Time flies by.

Zuo Zhu is ten years old.

Although he had already met the graduation requirements, it seemed that the Konoha leadership intended for him to remain at the school.

On his tenth birthday, Sasuke finally managed to bring his body to its optimal state.

Although he could complete it in just a few months using the power of the Hogyoku in his possession, unfortunately...

The Sage of Six Paths, perhaps sensing something, had been watching closely.

Therefore, if you lack strength, you have to keep pretending to be weak.

Only in the last six months, when the Sage of Six Paths has hardly appeared, has he been able to safely make the final adjustments.

Furthermore, because he discovered traces of the Sage of Six Paths that time, he hasn't attacked Naruto Uzumaki in recent years.

Fortunately, Naruto Uzumaki wasn't completely stupid. Under Naruto's influence, who set a high standard for learning, Naruto also developed some interest in studying.

Although it wasn't very useful, at least it didn't go out and cause trouble.

'It's time to act!'

Today is his birthday, but no one will celebrate it with him.

After completing his daily training, Sasuke returned to his room and left behind a shadow clone, while also having Genin follow the shadow clone to prevent being recognized when the Sage of Six Paths reappeared.

His true form was spatially concealed the moment his shadow clone appeared.

Sasuke greeted his shadow clone, then raised his hand to his face, and a bone-like Hollow mask appeared.

His physical body disappears, and he transforms from a human into a spirit in an instant.

In his intangible form, Sasuke carried the black cat out the door.

In their spirit form, they swaggered out of the Uchiha clan's territory, under surveillance by the ANBU in the courtyard.

"Master, should we go find Naruto now?"

Ashura knew that Sasuke had been waiting for so many years and was getting a little impatient.

Now that I'm finally free, it's time to go and reform Naruto Uzumaki.

"No rush. We'll save Naruto's training for after graduation. Right now, we need to find a high-ranking official in Konoha. They've had a rather frustrating few years; we were originally planning to deal with them. They're lucky they've been spared..."

Sasuke's target this time is Koharu Utatane. He had already thought about dealing with these two advisors first when he returned.

But with the sudden appearance of the Sage of Six Paths, there was such an inconvenient presence, so he could only wait a few more years.

Now that the transformation is complete, even if he faces the Sage of Six Paths head-on, he won't be completely defeated.

So let's start the revenge that's been delayed for years!

Chapter 261 Koharu's Blood-Pleaded Guilt

Konoha, a new day begins, dawn breaks.

However, today is a little different.

Many people have seen that on the Hokage Rock in Konoha, a large patch of red is slowly flowing downwards from the forehead of the Second Hokage statue.

"What's going on!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't even have time to put on his Hokage robes before he was startled by the news from the Anbu and rushed to the scene.

Besides him, there was Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and the heads of several clans in Konoha.

"Lord Hokage, we just checked, and the only traces here are of Koharu Utatane; she came up here on her own..."

The commander of the dark forces crouched beside the body, reported the situation, and continued to examine the scene and the body, hoping to find useful clues.

"What about this one? Did she write that herself too?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed to the blood-red writing on the head of his statue, utterly disbelieving that Koharu Utatane could have written something like that.

This is a confession, detailing the numerous crimes committed by Koharu Tsurugi over the years, totaling over a hundred.

The small things are written in small characters, and the big things are written in big characters.

The largest characters on his forehead read: "Participated in the conspiracy to kill the Second Hokage..."

This is fake!

However, regarding other truths, such as the plot to murder the descendants of the First and Second Lords, at least there is some truth to the deliberate arrangement of missions with uncertain levels of danger.

But in a sea of ​​fabricated confessions, this kind of thing is utterly trivial...

Of the hundreds of charges in this confession, only a third are true; the rest are fabricated!

However, this thing has already been seen by most of the ninjas and countless villagers.

No matter how many explanations are given, it is hard not to raise suspicions, because according to current intelligence, many people saw Koharu Utatane come up to confess her guilt and face death on her own.

"A conspiracy! This is definitely a conspiracy by the other villages!"

Danzo looked at the confession and was so angry that he wanted to smash the statue to pieces.

But he couldn't.

This is the Hokage Rock; even he cannot arbitrarily damage the Hokage statue.

"Yes, it's a deliberate frame-up by other villages. Check carefully for puppet strings, or whether they were under illusionary hypnosis before their death..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Danzo, pleased that his mind worked so quickly.

Directly targeting other villages is the best course of action for them.

However, he remembered the Uchiha's genjutsu.

The Uchiha clan's genjutsu is truly terrifying. Could it be that Itachi Uchiha came back and did this?

It doesn't seem likely. If that guy had that ability, he wouldn't have chosen to exterminate his entire clan in the first place.

Who did this, and what was their purpose? It couldn't have been just to annoy the higher-ups in Konoha, could it?

'Master, will this really work?'

Ashura the kitten perched on Sasuke's shoulder, watching the people on the Hokage Rock from the air.

"No one will believe you the first time, no one will believe you the second time, but if enough people say it, eventually someone will believe you, and then..."

When most people believe something, the opinions of a minority become irrelevant. Wasn't that how the Uchiha clan was destroyed?

What did Tobirama Senju and his students do to the Uchiha clan? Now it's time for all of them to pay the price.

pity...

The Senju clan is now reduced to just one irresponsible person. We'll deal with that person when we meet them again...

The ethereal Zuo Zhu raised his hand, and after injecting spiritual power, the densely packed blood-red confession glowed, and the words became clearer and clearer as they were displayed once again under the gaze of these people.

"What's going on? That person is still nearby. Find him!"

Danzo, seeing the changes in the blood-red characters, roared and began searching for any hidden people nearby.

But right after he shouted, those words flew up one by one from the statue's head.

In the air, the blood-written words, arranged in order, enlarged one by one every second before disappearing, allowing those who couldn't see the content before to clearly understand its contents.

"The person who orchestrated all of this is still in the vicinity. Search thoroughly and don't let any suspicious person slip by!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face darkened.

He didn't expect this enemy to be so audacious, even letting the characters fly out so that people could see them in their entirety when they came to inspect.

"Lord Hokage, regarding what's written in the confession..."

Hiashi Hyuga watched as those words disappeared.

He doesn't care about the actual aspects; things like the Second, Third, and Fourth Hokage are none of his business.

However, the fact that his Hinata was almost kidnapped, and that it only ended with Hizashi Hyuga's life being sacrificed, is also somehow related to the advisor...

This is a major event concerning the succession of a family patriarch; he cannot ignore such information and remain indifferent.

"Hyuga Hiashi, you actually believe the enemy's trickery?"

Danzo Shimura gave a cold shout, shutting down Hiashi Hyuga's words.

Some questions are better left unasked. Just pretend nothing happened and wait for the outcome!

Now, anything you say will cause trouble. Do these guys from the Hyuga clan think they're not in enough trouble already?

"Danzo, don't say that. Rumors are easy to spread, but if we want to dispel them, we need to work hard to find the enemy and gather evidence to convince people..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and continued to play the good guy.

But his words this time also clearly told Hiashi Hyuga that, no matter what, all the contents of today's confession were rumors.
