9 Sending Someone to Kill the Elders

"What did you say? Uchiha Yuu visited the elder's house and stayed for more than two hours before leaving?"

Listening to his cronies' report, Uchiha Fugaku's expression grew increasingly gloomy and uncertain. Upon closer inspection, Uchiha Fugaku's face became greener and greener.

The first elder had been in Uchiha Fugaku's company previously, leaving Uchiha Mikoto as the sole occupant of the elder's residence. The fact that both individuals were alone together for over two hours naturally raised suspicions. Unless they were remarkably magnanimous, it's impossible to overlook such a circumstance.

"Do you have any idea what Uchiha Yuu Did?"

Uchiha Fugaku's eyes gleamed with an ominous light as his gaze fixated on his subordinate. His eyes turned bloodshot, and his breath quickened.

Despite the gravity of the situation, the subordinate relayed the truth without hesitation.

"My men only dared to observe from a distance. I witnessed Uchiha Yuu embracing Uchiha Mikoto at the door. Later, as Uchiha Yuu prepared to depart, Uchiha Mikoto took the initiative to draw him back inside."

"As for what happened afterward, my subordinates couldn't ascertain. The door was closed."

They had only observed from afar, rendering them incapable of overhearing the conversation between Yuu and Uchiha Mikoto. Even their visual assessment could only provide a rough understanding of the situation.

Their distance was intentional, fearing detection by Uchiha Yuu if they drew closer. However, it seemed that Yuu had already detected their presence, and what they reported to Uchiha Fugaku was precisely what Yuu intended Fugaku to know.

"Bang~!"

With a resounding crash, Uchiha Fugaku overturned the table in a fit of rage, the sound of destruction echoing throughout the room. His Sharingan spun rapidly, almost merging into the Mangekyō Sharingan, but alas, it fell short of evolving.

It still doesn't seem painful enough.

"Uchiha Yuu"

Uchiha Fugaku's voice resonated with extreme hatred.

"Pfft~!"

A knife plunged into the heart of his trusted friend.

"This matter mustn't be leaked; you must die."

If word gets out, what right does he have to lead as a green head figure? This revelation would undoubtedly impede his ascent to patriarch.

Even if he guessed in his heart that he might be green (cheated on), he must restrain himself. Only by assuming the role of patriarch can he confront Uchiha Yuu.

And that bitch Uchiha Mikoto, Uchiha Fugaku's fists clenched.

Once, he had been content with Uchiha Mikoto, his betrothed, even proud. After all, she was the Uchiha clan's foremost beauty.

In all of Konoha Village, Uchiha Mikoto's allure ranked among the top three.

But now, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't bear the sight of her.

An unfaithful woman wasn't fit to be the patriarch's wife.

"Elder, do you truly stand by me?"

Upon learning of Uchiha Mikoto's affair with Uchiha Yuu, Uchiha Fugaku harbored no more trust in the elder.

...

[Ding, by alienating the relationship between Uchiha Fugaku, the Great Elder and Uchiha Mikoto, you have gained: Evil Point +8000]

"I truly don't understand how this reward is calculated."

Yuu shook his head. Nonetheless, this time, he had indeed reaped a hefty profit.

Not only did he sow discord, but he also reaped rewards from the system. Yuu was raking in the gains.

"So much evil points, it's time to make a purchase."

If he hadn't acquired the Mangekyō Sharingan, Yuu would have been reluctant to part with it, hoarding the Mangekyō Sharingan instead.

But now that he possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, it was time to utilize it.

"System, are there only items from the Naruto world available in the mall?"

[The mall only displays items from the world where the Host is located. Items from other worlds are not for sale and can only be obtained through rewards.]

"Truly exorbitant."

The cheapest S-rank ninjutsu demanded 100,000 evil points, while the pricier ones were beyond his reach.

This particular item likely surpassed even the cost of Ninjutsu.

There were also esoteric ninjutsu, such as the Nara clan's shadow imitation technique, which commanded a hefty price.

"Hatake family's swordsmanship is valued at over 100,000 evil points."

It was understandable why Hatake Sakumo had earned the moniker of Konoha's White Fang with his swordsmanship. The price tag reflected its worth.

"Can pupil techniques be purchased? Obito's Kamui Hollow demands 250,000 evil points. Isn't the combined price for both eye techniques 500,000 evil points, surpassing the cost of a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan? Outrageous."

Yet, Obito's Sharingan abilities were undeniably potent. In the original works, Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan abilities were among the most formidable.

However, regardless of its power, Yuu's time-stop ability prevailed.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique requires 300,000 evil points, which is excessively steep. I thought I was a rich man, but I didn't expect to be poor."

Yuu realized that his desired items were beyond his financial reach.

The Flying Thunder God Technique, Obito's Kamui—these were luxuries he couldn't afford.

While the 120,000 evil points for Hatake's swordsmanship were attainable, Yuu hesitated to expend his evil points on it.

"Hatake Sakumo is still alive; perhaps there are other means to acquire it. I won't make the purchase for now. The Uchiha clan's sword skills are nothing to scoff at."

Recently, Yuu had started to practice swordsmanship of the uchiha clan, which proved to be formidable, not far behind Hatake's renowned skills. After all, the Uchiha were a wealthy and influential family during the Sengoku period.

While the most renowned abilities of the Uchiha are the Sharingan and Fire Style, there are a few lesser-known talents as well.

One of the Sharingan's abilities is copying. Although it cannot replicate secret techniques and bloodline-based techniques, it can mimic most Taijutsu, ninjutsu, and swordsmanship.

"Purchase a Chidori and conserve the remaining evil points."

The famous Rasengan had already been mastered by Yuu himself. After all, the cultivation method is widely known among those who have seen Naruto. Practice makes perfect.

Obtaining the A-rank ninjutsu Lightning Style Chidori cost Yuu 50,000 evil points. Among A-rank ninjutsu, Lightning Style Chidori is relatively costly. Nonetheless, with Chidori in hand, Yuu could potentially develop Raikiri, or even Chidori-related ninjutsu styles.

Regardless, the price of Chidori was quite high.

"Captain, do you have any tasks for us since you called us here?"

Uchiha Eren and Uchiha shanks arrived at Yuu's residence.

"I have an assignment for you."

"Captain, we're at your service."

They were staunchly loyal to Yuu. No matter how perilous the mission, they would complete it.

"Let's head out. The second and third elders should pose no issue since they're allied with Uchiha Fugaku, right?"

Considering Uchiha Fugaku had visited them during the day, it was reasonable to assume they would support him.

Just as Uchiha Fugaku had sent individuals to monitor Yuu, Yuu had also dispatched his own to keep an eye on Uchiha Fugaku. Moreover, Uchiha Fugaku had presented them with lavish gifts.

Given these factors, it was likely that the two elders would align with Uchiha Fugaku for his benefit.

However, as they posed a hindrance to Yuu's plans, they needed to be eliminated.
