"Don't be afraid!!"
The expression on Uchiha Yuta's face did not change at all, and he said, "This place has been enchanted by you, and as a member of the Konoha garrison, I have the responsibility and obligation to come in and take a look."
"You did it on purpose?"
Shimura Danzo's pupils shrank slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "You knew there was an enchantment here, and you came in on purpose?"
"That's right...."
Uchiha Yuta nodded and chuckled. "The Root ninjas have been watching me for years, and I've long wanted to meet their leader, Shimura Danzo."
When he said the last sentence, Uchiha Yuta's eyes turned cold, deliberately accentuating his tone.
That's right. In the year or two after his system awakened, Uchiha Yuta's strength wasn't too high. Every day, he lived cautiously, afraid that Root or ANBU would act outside of expectations.
But now?
He was not afraid at all.
Staying low-key was a choice, but that didn't mean he was scared. If Shimura Danzo dared to send people after him, then he dared to kill them.
If worse came to worst, he'd just go to war.
"You..."
Faced with Uchiha Yuta's unrelenting attitude, it was now Danzo's turn to be taken aback. He never expected their first meeting to be filled with so much hostility.
This time, he had personally ordered Root to set up the barrier.
It was just to force Uchiha Yuta to fall in line and join the Root organization.
Even though Uchiha Yuta was a taijutsu specialist who did not rely on chakra or ninjutsu, he was still an elite-level combatant. If he joined Root, he would be a valuable asset, offering deep insight into the Uchiha clan.
That alone made him useful.
But the result?
Uchiha Yuta didn't seem willing to give Danzo any face at all.
Just like Uchiha Shisui—only loyal to the Hokage's ideals, impossible to control.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
The next moment, Uchiha Yuta glanced at Shimura Danzo and said, "I know what you're trying to do, but... don't let me catch you in the act, or I'll end all of you at once."
Since their conflict was inevitable, he saw no need to be polite.
Buzz!!
Before the words fully landed, an overwhelming aura burst forth from Uchiha Yuta, pressing down directly onto Shimura Danzo.
"This..."
Under this pressure, Danzo's expression twisted.
Because somehow, in the face of Uchiha Yuta's overwhelming presence, he felt like nothing more than a mere clown.
"Heh..."
Seeing this, Uchiha Yuta smirked, withdrew his aura, and without sparing Danzo another glance, turned and left.
Now was not the time.
When Konoha's leadership finally decided to exterminate the Uchiha clan, that would be the moment the real battle began.
"Uchiha Yuta, you will regret this!!" Danzo suddenly shouted, his frustration boiling over as he glared at the retreating figure.
"Oh? Do you want to go to war with the Uchiha clan?"
Hearing this, Uchiha Yuta turned his head slightly, amusement flashing in his eyes as he asked teasingly.
"I..."
"I... I..."
Danzo's mouth opened and closed, but no words came out.
He wanted to declare war on the Uchiha clan, but he didn't dare.
If he said it out loud, he wouldn't even need to wait for the Uchiha to retaliate—Hiruzen Sarutobi would personally remove him. After all, despite their tensions, the Uchiha clan was still a cornerstone of Konoha's power.
"Pathetic..."
Uchiha Yuta shook his head. "Danzo, remember this—no matter how much the Uchiha clan declines, you are not qualified to lay hands on us. You are unworthy."
Boom!
After speaking, Uchiha Yuta clenched his right fist.
Wisps of black-armored haki wrapped tightly around it, and with a fierce punch, he struck forward.
Crack—crack—!
In an instant, the rectangular, translucent purple barrier shattered.
Pfft! Pfft!
At the moment the simplified Four Purple Flame Formation was destroyed, the four Root ninjas who had been maintaining it coughed up blood and staggered back, their eyes filled with disbelief.
The barrier had been shattered with a single punch?!
How was that even possible?
Even though it was a simplified version, it was still enough to contain an elite-level ninja for a decent amount of time.
"Damn it, he's gotten even stronger...?!"
Danzo's expression twisted further, rage bubbling up inside him.
He had been humiliated.
Publicly humiliated by Uchiha Yuta.
And worse still, he couldn't do anything about it.
He had to swallow his pride and endure it. Uchiha Yuta had openly declared that the Uchiha clan was beyond his reach, and he had no retort.
"The Uchiha clan... I will destroy them. No one can stop me. Even if you're strong, I'll use the Sharingan to make your life a living hell."
Hehehehehe....
Danzo let out a sinister chuckle, his eyes flashing with malice.
He didn't know how long he stood there, but as he contemplated his plans, a swirling distortion in space appeared nearby.
A masked figure in an orange, spiral-patterned mask emerged from the void—Uchiha Obito.
"Perhaps... we can cooperate..."
