Uchiha Tetsuka and Uchiha Izumi immediately knelt on one knee and listened respectfully with their heads bowed.

They were absolutely obedient to Di Yan's orders.

Di Yan gazed into the distance, as if he could already see the future battlefield, and coldly commanded:

"Once the troops set off and reach the border battlefield..."

"Find an opportunity to eliminate all the Hyuga main family members who are mixed in with the ninja army."

"Remember, leave nothing behind, do it cleanly and efficiently."

"It should look like an accident or death at the hands of the enemy."

He paused, then added, "And then there are those other stubborn members of the ninja clans who have ulterior motives and may be trying to contact their old comrades or do something underhanded."

"Find an opportunity...to assassinate them. Izumi will give you the list later."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Uchiha Tetsuka and Uchiha Izumi accepted the order without any hesitation.

For them, who had experienced the night of their clan's annihilation and had already dedicated their bodies and souls to Emperor Yan,

There is no psychological burden in carrying out such a dark mission.

The two figures flashed by.

It disappeared like 01 blending into the shadows.

Go forth to prepare for this bloody secret mission.

……

at the same time.

The shocking news that Di Yan had established his authority by tearing out a heart in the meeting hall of the Hyuga clan spread like wildfire.

It quickly spread secretly among the major clans of Konoha.

At first, some people remained skeptical.

But when the exact news and details are available.

Even after the bloody scene was confirmed.

All the patriarchs and high-ranking members of the families felt a chill run from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads!

This new emperor was by no means a monarch who advocated a policy of appeasement.

He was a complete tyrant who believed that those who obeyed him would prosper and those who defied him would perish.

He possesses absolute power.

And they don't hesitate to use the cruelest methods to achieve their goals!

The Hyuga clan is incredibly prestigious, with a history spanning a thousand years, and possesses one of the strongest eye techniques.

They killed the clan elders without hesitation, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Other families ask themselves if they can compare to the Hyuga.

How tough can they really be?

In an instant, all the families that were still observing and secretly making their own plans all fell silent.

They would never dare to do anything underhanded again.

All the previous excuses for procrastination and delay vanished instantly.

All the families became incredibly "cooperative".

They followed Di Yan's orders obediently.

They sent eligible ninjas from the clan to military camps and front-line battlefields near the Forest of Death.

We dare not offer any further discounts.

The situation is better than people.

Despite the fact that countless people were filled with anger, resentment, and humiliation.

But for the sake of the lives of all the family members, and for the continuation of the clan.

They could only swallow their anger for the time being.

Survive first, then plan for the future.

However, beneath the surface of compliance...

The undercurrents are still surging.

Some families planted their true confidants and assassins in the armies sent to the border.

They were on a secret mission.

They attempted to establish contact with the border garrison forces that were originally loyal to the old Konoha system.

They secretly made connections and accumulated strength.

Waiting for the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Of course, all of this is still in its very early, very secretive stages.

Di Yan used the fastest speed and the most ruthless methods?

He forcibly steered Konoha's massive war machine onto the track he had set.

As for how much rust and hidden damage is inside the machine, and when it will manifest.

That would require more time and resources to gradually clean up and work things out.

Konoha, in a bloody silence.

Waiting for the unknown tomorrow.

As for Di Yan, he went straight to the Hokage Building.

Stepping into the Hokage's office.

However, they found the room empty and Tsunade was nowhere to be seen.

There was only a slender figure dressed in a black, form-fitting long dress.

The other person was facing away from the door.

He was hunched over his desk, meticulously organizing the mountain of documents and materials.

That's silent mode.

She seemed completely absorbed in her work and was oblivious to Di Yan's quiet arrival.

Her slender fingers quickly and skillfully sorted and archived the scrolls and documents.

His movements were meticulous.

This fully demonstrates her professional competence as the Hokage's chief secretary.

Di Yan's gaze lingered for a moment on her back, which appeared even more curvaceous as she bent over.

The corners of his mouth curled up in an imperceptible arc.

He remembered this loyal female secretary.

He was knocked unconscious by Tsunade after being hit by Danzo's Kotoamatsukami.

However, by a twist of fate, they managed to avoid many subsequent troubles.

When I woke up, I found everything had changed.

Yet he still diligently helped Tsunade with her official duties.

Rare indeed.

"She's a really...good secretary."

Di Yan pondered to himself.

He then silently turned his hand and gently closed the office door.

It made a very slight "click" sound as the lock clicked shut.

But Jingyin was clearly distracted and didn't notice anything amiss.

The indoor lighting seemed to become somewhat ambiguous as a result.

Shizune is compiling the latest list of registered ninjas in Konoha.

This list is now of paramount importance.

This is related to the subsequent reorganization and control of Di Yan.

Tsunade specifically instructed her to compile and submit it as soon as possible.

The thought of handing over this roster, which embodies the hard work and dedication of Konoha, to that ruthless and unfathomable emperor was terrifying.

My heart couldn't help but clench when I was silent.

She shuddered subconsciously.

Even Lady Tsunade...

How could she possibly resist?

I can only do my best in my job and hope that...

Hopefully, fewer people will die.

She was lost in thought when suddenly...

A pair of warm hands suddenly covered her eyes from behind, blocking out all the light.

At the same time, a deep male voice, tinged with obvious mockery, sounded behind her ear:

Guess... who I am?

Shizune froze instantly!

That voice... what is that voice?

A wave of immense fear washed over me like a bucket of ice water.

It made her limbs feel cold.

My blood felt like it had frozen!

The documents in her hands scattered to the ground with a "clatter".

His body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

How could she not recognize the voice?

The voice of the man who now holds the power of life and death in Konoha, a voice that makes both her and Lady Tsunade feel utterly powerless!

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

The silent voice trembled violently, barely able to form words.

She tried to break free, but found her body stiff and unresponsive.

Di Yan felt the intense trembling of her eyelashes and the shivering of her body beneath his palm.

Instead of letting go, he mischievously brought his lips even closer to her sensitive earlobe.

Warm breath was sprayed on it.

This caused her to flinch violently once again.

"You guessed right, mute now~"

His laughter was deep and magnetic, yet like the whisper of a devil, "Working so diligently, you didn't even notice me coming in... Are you organizing something important?"
