Chapter 79: Destroying Clans as My Ninja Way!
Chapter 79: Destroying Clans as My Ninja Way!
With the departure of the Senju brothers, the once-vibrant Konoha was left in ruins. Due to the awakened abilities of the Flame-Flame Fruit, the area had turned into an inhospitable wasteland.
The lingering flames, evaporated water, and scorched earth ensured that nothing would grow there for a long time.
This was the long-lasting environmental impact of his awakened powers. Restoring the area would take immense time and effort—unless someone like Hashirama or Yamato came back to plant trees.
But all of that was no longer Uchiha Yi's concern. His goals had essentially been achieved.
Of course, the result wasn't perfect. In the final moments, Sarutobi Hiruzen and some others managed to escape.
However, this was a minor issue. He'd leave it to Black Zetsu to track them down and clean up the remnants.
After all, when Uchiha Yi declared he would destroy their clans, he wasn't making empty threats.

"Black Zetsu, are you there?"
Uchiha Yi called into the air.
The uncanny sound of shifting earth followed, and a figure wrapped in a Venus flytrap emerged. A face split into black and white appeared before him.
As Black Zetsu gazed at Uchiha Yi, his emotions were conflicted.
The sheer power Yi had displayed left him unsure if he could control this wildcard. The worst-case scenario was that Yi might become a major obstacle to the Moon's Eye Plan.
But for now, he decided to keep observing. After all, Yi's hatred for Konoha aligned with his goals for the time being.

"What do you need?" Black Zetsu asked.
"I want to know the whereabouts of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo Shimura, and their remaining allies," Uchiha Yi said bluntly.
"Let White Zetsu take you to them," Black Zetsu replied without hesitation.
Soon, a White Zetsu clone attached itself to Uchiha Yi. Using its Hiding in Ash and Dust Jutsu, it led him to the survivors' location.

The two arrived at a secret underground base outside Konoha—a facility Danzo Shimura had built for conducting human experiments.
"Sigh… Konoha is finished."
Before even entering, Uchiha Yi could hear Sarutobi Hiruzen's weary sigh from inside.
Sensing someone approaching, Sarutobi turned to see Uchiha Yi. Surprisingly, his face showed no fear or shock.
From what Orochimaru had told him, not even the combined might of the First and Second Hokage could defeat Yi. Sarutobi knew that Yi finding him was inevitable.
The aged Hokage had already accepted his fate.
"I've made preparations for the remaining survivors of Konoha. They've been scattered across the ninja world. If they can't be found immediately, they might still have a chance to live," Sarutobi muttered to himself.
Then, he raised his head to look at Yi.
"Before I die, can I at least know your name?"
"What's the point of knowing it now?" Uchiha Yi responded coldly, pausing for a moment to hear what Sarutobi might have to say.
"It's meaningless, I know," Sarutobi admitted with a bitter smile. "I'm just curious."
Yi smirked disdainfully.
"Light the fire."
Without wasting another moment, Yi unleashed his Flame Activation technique.
This undying flame consumed Sarutobi's body, burning at over a thousand degrees.
Even as a former Kage, Sarutobi's mortal body couldn't withstand the flames for more than five seconds. In the end, he was reduced to a pile of charred bones.

As the system logged Sarutobi's soul points, Yi knew the old Hokage was finally, irrevocably dead. Not even the Impure World Reincarnation could bring him back.
Yi continued his hunt under White Zetsu's guidance, locating Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado.
Danzo put up some resistance, but the other two fell easily. Their souls were added to Yi's growing tally.
Finally, Yi tracked down the remaining survivors of the Sarutobi and Shimura clans.
The Uchiha's long-awaited revenge concluded with the complete annihilation of these clans—a fitting end to their decades of enmity.
---
But this victory didn't bring peace of mind.
When Yi thought of the Otsutsuki clan's "family reunion" in the future—along with the so-called Otsutsuki God—he couldn't shake a growing sense of urgency.
While the Otsutsuki clan itself was formidable, Yi believed he had the means to deal with them.
However, the Otsutsuki God, as described in Boruto's lore, was an entirely different threat.
The entity had devoured countless planets to evolve into its ultimate form.
Compared to such a being, even the entire ninja world might only provide the energy of a single planet—a mere fraction of the Otsutsuki God's power.
No matter how Yi strategized, he couldn't see a way to win against such an opponent.
---
Even with the system granting him unparalleled abilities, the ninja world was ultimately too small. Its limited resources would inevitably cap his growth.
Without sufficient resources, even the most potent abilities would become meaningless.
"So, where can I find the resources I need?"
Yi muttered to himself as he contemplated his next move.
