Chapter 96 » Fugaku, There's Something About Mikoto I've Been Dying to Tell You!

Konohagakure. In an underground laboratory bathed in eerily white lighting.

This newly established facility is Orochimaru's latest underground experimental hub. Here, he prepares to begin the daring process of transplanting Hashirama's cells into Fugaku Uchiha.

"Isn't it ready for transplant yet?" The emaciated Fugaku asked in a low, impatient voice.

Orochimaru shook his head slightly.

"Clan Head Fugaku, I understand your desperation for power. But this isn't a simple matter of desire — it requires extensive experimentation." He glanced at the nearby containers, where corpses floated in formaldehyde solution.

These were undeniably Uchiha clan corpses. Yet their surfaces had turned an unnatural green, some even burst open by emerald trees that spread throughout the containers!

Each subject had successfully received both the Mangekyō Sharingan evolved by Shin Uchiha and Hashirama's cells. The conflict between these two potent forces had led to their gruesome demise.

To date, Orochimaru had conducted over a dozen experiments. The results were uniformly grim — not a single Uchiha could withstand this power.

Hearing this, Fugaku's expression darkened further. A heavy silence fell over the room.

Then, in a hoarse whisper, he suggested: "What if... we use clan members who've naturally awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan? Not the transplanted kind."

Orochimaru's snake-like pupils constricted sharply.

As expected. Fugaku had finally resorted to any means necessary to obtain power.

"This approach might increase the success rate slightly — perhaps two to three times higher. However, if a clan member who has naturally awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan dies, it would be a devastating loss for the Uchiha. Your clan currently has only six members with awakened Mangekyō." Orochimaru said in a low voice.

"Just the Mangekyō Sharingan... is far from enough!" A hint of violence flashed in Fugaku's eyes.

BOOM——!!

Suddenly, the entire underground facility shook! Both men's expressions immediately changed.

"What's going on?" Fugaku asked, his brows furrowed.

"I don't know." Orochimaru's pupils flickered.

At that moment, someone kicked open the laboratory door! The 30-centimeter thick steel door bent and deformed — forcibly broken by raw strength!

"Tsk tsk tsk... Orochimaru, long time no see! And, the one beside you..."

Two figures slowly appeared in the doorway.

Orochimaru's pupils trembled violently! In the next second, he prepared to use the Snake Style Substitution Technique to escape. He had already clearly seen who had arrived.

Yūsuke Kamizuki!!

"Orochimaru. If I want to kill you, you won't have a chance to escape." Yūsuke smiled faintly.

His light words fell on the snake man's ears like thunder. And he knew that Yūsuke always followed through on his words!

"Yūsuke… Kamizuki!!!"

At this moment, Fugaku was already furious beyond measure! He had activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, using those crimson eyes to lock onto Yūsuke!

"This person is..." Yūsuke looked at the skinny Fugaku next to Orochimaru. After seeing the other's Mangekyō Sharingan, its unique shape immediately made him recognize, "You... Fugaku Uchiha?"

This person as thin as a beanpole is actually that cucko — ahem — I mean, the Uchiha clan leader?!

However, looking closely, one could indeed see that this was Fugaku. His build was even more emaciated, and his face was filled with intense hatred. It was him without a doubt.

"Yūsuke Kamizuki!! I'm going to kill you!!"

[ Ding! After seeing you, Fugaku Uchiha's anger immediately skyrocketed! Congratulations, host has gained 100,000 Villain Points! ]

Such great hostility just from meeting? Yūsuke's face was full of smiles.

Tsunade, standing behind him, also looked at Fugaku with disbelief. He had changed dramatically during this period.

"Clan Head Fugaku! Endure! Hold it in!!" Orochimaru immediately stepped in front of him and said emphatically, "Right now, you are no match for him!"

Fugaku's heart was filled with intense anger! His fists were clenched tightly! However, Orochimaru was telling the truth. Currently, he was absolutely no match for Yūsuke!!

"Yūsuke Kamizuki... What did you come to find me for?" Orochimaru asked in a low voice.

"I'm here to inquire about someone — Jūgo. I suspect you have information on him." Yūsuke said with a smile, stating his purpose.

"Jūgo..." Orochimaru's pupils contracted slightly.

Seeing this, Yūsuke immediately knew: Pedomaru had already taken notice of another ki — ahem again — Jūgo's existence by now!

Indeed, this was the case. Three months ago, Orochimaru had discovered Jūgo, a youth with a special constitution, in a small country bordering the Land of Fire. However, he hadn't yet had the opportunity to recruit him, so the matter had been shelved until now.

"I only need his information. Once I have it, I'll leave," Yūsuke said.

"Alright!" Orochimaru nodded quickly, then glanced at Fugaku. In a low voice, he said, "Clan Head Fugaku, consider the bigger picture!"

He then said loudly, "Please follow me."

"I'll go with you to get it." Yūsuke said, slowly walking towards Orochimaru.

Behind him, Tsunade bit her lip, silently following.

At this moment, Yūsuke had reached Fugaku's side.

He stopped. In an instant, the atmosphere in the room became tense.

Fugaku's fists were clenched tightly, hatred surging in his heart like a tide. Yūsuke was only one step away from him! Yet he couldn't guarantee he could kill him. This feeling was even worse than being killed!

"Ah, Fugaku. Perfect timing." Yūsuke tilted his head and said with a smile, "There's something I've been wanting to tell you for ages. Never had the chance until now."

He raised his left hand and lightly patted Fugaku's shoulder.

"Fugaku, my friend. Mikoto is... extraordinary. Such a passionate and tight woman."

[ Ding! Fugaku Uchiha is now consumed by a furious aura! He yearns to tear you apart! Congratulations, host has gained 1,000,000 Villain Points! ]

A million-point feedback! Even Yūsuke was taken aback. Yet, the smile on his face only grew more radiant.

After all, the more Villain Points, the merrier!

"And let me tell you... Her oral skills are... beyond words. But I suppose a virgin like yourself couldn't fathom the delights of an experienced woman."

Rage! Unbridled, all-consuming rage!!

Yūsuke's words were like a hellish demon's whisper, mercilessly piercing Fugaku's heart!

"Yūsuke Kamizuki!! I swear! I'll kill you!!!"

[ Ding! Fugaku Uchiha's hatred towards you has reached new heights! Congratulations, host has gained 500,000 Villain Points! ]

Just like that, another easy half-million points in the bag!

The next second, a powerful aura of hostility burst forth from Fugaku. In his eyes, the Mangekyō Sharingan appeared once again and the atmosphere became unprecedentedly tense!

Yūsuke continued smiling, looking at the mediocre man before him with equal murderous intent.

"Oh, you will? Show me how, little bitch."

With his anger reaching its peak, Fugaku lost control and threw a punch with all his bubbling fury.

"Die!"

At the same time, Yūsuke's left hand suddenly exerted force.

Crack—

Fugaku's shoulder was crushed instantly. His entire arm was ripped off!!

Muscle tissue and stark white bones were exposed to the air. Blood dripped onto the ground from the torn area. In an instant, the smell of blood permeated the air.

"AAAHHH! YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!" Fugaku screamed in agony.

In his crimson eyes, the light of the Mangekyō Sharingan began to shine.

At this moment, Yūsuke's eyes erupted with extraordinarily violent heat ray energy.

This terrifying energy alone immediately brought the enraged Uchiha clan leader back to his senses.

He would die! He absolutely could not defend against this energy! The fluctuation of this energy didn't seem like chakra... nor did it seem like genjutsu. Instead, it was a kind of energy he had never seen before!

Yūsuke tossed Fugaku aside like trash.

At this moment, like a stray dog enduring excruciating pain, the Uchiha frantically fled through the secret passage.

Staying here any longer would mean death!

[ Ding! Fugaku Uchiha's hatred towards you has once again increased exponentially! Congratulations, host has gained 500,000 Villain Points! ]

After hearing the system's prompt, Yūsuke slowly retracted his fierce gaze. The heat ray energy in his eyes gradually dissipated.

It seemed that whenever he had free time, he could come to Konoha to chat with Fugaku about Mikoto.

And why let him live? Fugaku was nothing more than a tool for harvesting Villain Points! A tool to be used until death!

"What a pity. I didn't get the chance to let him ask you. After all, regarding Mikoto and me, you have deep experience to share, don't you?" Yūsuke turned his head and smiled at Tsunade.

Though it was a seemingly sunny smile... it sent a shiver down her spine!

This man was still so terrifying after all!

Meanwhile, Orochimaru, standing at the door of the document room, his already pale face became even paler. After not seeing each other for a few months, Yūsuke's strength had grown even stronger! Moreover, he now possessed an even more terrifying and mysterious ability!

"Orochimaru. Have you found it?" Yūsuke walked up to him, smiling as he asked.

"I've found it." Orochimaru quickly began searching through the document room.

Two minutes later, he handed over a document.

Yūsuke opened it and saw that it indeed contained information about Jūgo. However, it seemed that the Pedosnake hadn't yet formally made contact with him. He still didn't understand the concept of the "Cursed Seal".

Yūsuke put away the document. Up until now, including this time, he had intercepted Orochimaru twice — once for Kimimaro and once for Jūgo.

He wasn't worried about the document's authenticity. The guy didn't have the guts to deceive him.

"Tsunade, come here and hold me tight. We're leaving." Yūsuke commanded.

"Mm..."

She bit her lip, then under Orochimaru's shocked gaze, obediently walked up to him and opened her arms. She tightly embraced Yūsuke.

This scene shocked Orochimaru to his core. He stared, dumbfounded.

Tsunade?! Was this still the Tsunade he knew? Was this still the hot-tempered Tsunade-hime who always went around punching people?! She was actually so obedient?!

It seemed Yūsuke certainly had a way with disciplining women! Even Orochimaru couldn't help but admire his methods.

Seeing his somewhat mocking gaze, Tsunade immediately knew what he had misunderstood.

"Hey... Orochimaru! It's not what you think—"

Before she could finish, Yūsuke flew off immediately, leaving the underground experimental facility.

"Phew..." Orochimaru's pupils contracted once again.

Had Yūsuke just flown away? This man's abilities were becoming increasingly diverse, and his strength was growing more terrifying by the day.

Surveying his damaged facility, Orochimaru sighed. Thanks to the destruction, it would take at least ten days to two weeks to repair the place.

Taking a deep breath, he glanced at the pool of blood and shattered muscle tissue on the ground a few meters away. He walked over, picked up Fugaku's half-severed arm, his pupils contracting slightly, and swiftly made his way to the cultivation room.

❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆

In the sky above Konohagakure.

Yūsuke had obtained the information he sought about Jūgo.

"Hey, Yūsuke. You've got what you wanted... You promised not to harm the village's ninja and civilians!" Tsunade noticed he hadn't flown away, but instead hovered above Konoha.

They were directly in front of the Hokage Rock. Her heart began to race. Was this man about to break his word and attack Konoha?

"Relax. I'm not so petty as to go back on my word." Yūsuke said calmly, looking at her in his arms, "It's just that this Hokage Rock is an eyesore. Especially that old fart Sarutobi Hiruzen's statue. It sickens me. So..."

Hearing this, she instantly realized his intentions.

In the next moment, dark red energy began to gather in Yūsuke's eyes. Tsunade, still in his arms, started to struggle.

Feeling this terrifying beam energy at such close range, even she couldn't help but feel afraid.

The energy in his eyes gathered to a certain intensity, its color shifting from dark red to bright red. Then, in an instant —

Scorch Release: Heat Vision!

The terrifying heat vision energy shot towards the Hokage Rock before them.

Wherever the crimson beam passed, rocks instantly melted. The statue of the Third Hokage began to shatter piece by piece.

Crack! Crack!

Rumble—

The continuous rumbling caught the attention of every villager and ninja in Konoha.

In the sky above, Yūsuke's figure stood like a deity, the radiance of his heat vision illuminating the entire sky!

Crimson and fierce!
