Chapter 262: Leaving Konoha
"Yu... What are you..."
Third caught the two things dropped from the sky by Yu dumbly, his eyes filled with immense desolation and loneliness as he gazed at Yu.
"It doesn't matter whether you consider me as leaving the village to travel or as a rogue ninja... I don't care..."
While saying this, Yu turned around, facing away from everyone, and slowly opened a circular portal to another dimension in front of him. "But I advise you not to follow me, or else I will truly kill all of you..."
Yu's voice was not loud, but all the Konoha ninjas below felt as if they were in an icy cave, as if a cold wind was blowing over them, involuntarily feeling a chill rising in their hearts.
"Oh, I almost forgot..."
As Yu was about to leave, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at the two elders, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, among the crowd below, a hint of mockery curling up at the corner of his mouth. "Danzo carries the Wood Release cells of the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama. If he manages to survive by some miracle this time, I believe it will be more painful than death..."
"So I hope you two will advise him to transplant more Sharingan on his arms next time, because that way he can use Izanagi a few more times and fight for a few more minutes in his miserable life... Hahaha!!"
Damn it...
This guy...
Seeing Yu not forgetting to threaten and mock them before leaving, feeling the strange glances from the people around Konoha, the two Konoha Elders almost gritted their teeth.
"Yu!!"
"Where are you going?!"
After saying this, Yu was about to step into the portal to another dimension in front of him.
But at this moment, two crisp and familiar voices suddenly came, making his body tremble involuntarily.
"Kurenai, Yugao."
Feeling the two melancholic and plaintive gazes, Yu couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Turning back silently, he happened to see Kurenai and Yugao following a group of Konoha ninjas rushing over, looking at him with disbelief on their faces.
"You damn bastard!!"
"Are you planning to leave Konoha like this?!"
"What about Yugao? Are you planning to just leave her like this?!"
Yugao, wearing an ANBU uniform and a mask hid her expression whether it was joy or sorrow, but Kurenai beside her was already questioning Yu indignantly, who stood above them in the sky. Yet, a trace of imperceptible sadness and loss flashed through her deep red and bright eyes.
'And me...
Are you really going to leave without saying goodbye...'
Repeating these questions in her mind, Kurenai refrained from speaking out in front of Yugao and so many others.
"Don't worry, Kurenai, Yugao."
"As long as I want to, I can return to Konoha anytime."
"Remember to keep an eye on the children in the orphanage for me. If anything happens, notify me in advance."
Hearing Kurenai's indignant questioning, Yu turned his head and looked deeply into her and Yugao's eyes, but he said nothing, conveying all his thoughts to them through telepathy.
After saying this, feeling the almost depleted stamina and chakra in his body, Yu lightly stepped forward, and his figure disappeared directly into the mysterious dark green dimensional space...
...
Everything returned to calmness, as if nothing had happened, except for the scattered Konoha ninjas around, lying on the ground. The remaining Konoha people stood somewhat bewildered in their original positions, looking at each other, unsure of what to do, only able to wait for Third and the two Elders to speak.
"Hiruzen! You wasted your efforts trying to support him to become the Hokage..."
"Hmph! Now you see, just how dangerous this guy really is?!"
Seeing the ominous star Yu finally leaving, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, the two Konoha Elders, finally breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, beginning to mock Third and trying to pin the blame on him.
The last words Yu said to them before leaving had directly put them in a very awkward and embarrassing situation, with all the Konoha ninjas around looking at them with suspicion in their eyes.
"Enough! Both of you, shut up!!"
Third gave them a cold glance. He was already feeling fed up with these two advisors who only knew how to play politics.
If it weren't for the interference of these two Elders, Konoha's relationship with Yu wouldn't have escalated to this point. But in the end, his personality is also still as weak as ever...
"Everyone, disperse..."
"Let's call it a day. Take Jiraiya and the injured ninja to the ninja hospital!"
After saying this, Third seemed to age a few more years, his departing figure appearing even more hunched.
Following Orochimaru, he had once again lost a disciple he had placed high hopes on. This elderly man in his sixties seemed unable to bear such blows anymore.
"And... what about Yakushi Yu? How should we handle it?!"
Watching Third's departing figure, Mitokado Homura asked loudly.
"Do whatever you want to do with it..."
At the sound of this, Third's departing figure paused for a moment, then continued forward without looking back. "Since you like to take matters into your own hands so much, don't come to me for these things anymore. I'm tired..."
Watching Third leave indifferently, leaving behind a ground littered with injured Konoha ninjas, the two Elders looked at each other helplessly. Unable to make a decision, they could only give up reluctantly and disperse with different thoughts in mind.
After all, anyone with eyes could see that if Yu hadn't shown mercy to Third and the villagers before, wanting to kill them all and destroy the entire Konoha would have just been a matter of expending a bit more effort.
And if they were to issue a wanted announcement declaring Yakushi Yu as a rogue ninja, even if they managed to track him down, who could be sure they could deal with him? It would only lead to more casualties without any real dissent.
"Yu, I will wait for you to come back..."
As all the ninjas dispersed, Yugao stood silently in place, seeming to have lost her soul. Tears streaked down her cold and beautiful face after removing her mask, with only Kurenai beside her continuously comforting her in a soft voice.
"The situation has evolved into such a result... sigh."
"The balance between Konoha and the Uchiha Clan still needs your strength to uphold this peace."
However, nobody noticed that at this moment, within the nearby forest, a black-haired young ninja, carrying a long sword on his back, was silently observing everything here.
A pair of crimson Three Tomoe Sharingan emitted a firm and eerie light, forming a hand seal gently. Then, the whole person disappeared from the spot, leaving no trace.
"No matter what, I will definitely bring you back, Yu..."
In the 53rd year of Konoha, Yakushi Yu left Konoha.
