After Uchiha Yuzuru finished speaking, he looked coldly at Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, shouting, "One crime after another, they are too numerous to record. Do you have anything else to say?"
Koharu Utatane and Mitokado Homura had already wet their pants in fear, and a pungent, foul odor began to spread.
They wept bitterly, repeatedly kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Spare us, we know we were wrong..."
"Don't kill us, we were only forced by Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo."
"Lord Yuzuru, we know we were wrong, please don't lower yourself to our level."
"As long as you spare us, we are willing to hand over all our property, and the Ninjas of our two clans will follow your lead!"
"Don't kill us, don't kill us..."
Seeing their behavior, a flash of disgust crossed Uchiha Yuzuru's eyes.
In a great Ninja village like Konoha, with countless excellent Ninjas, the power was held firmly by two such individuals.
If he remembered correctly, even when the boruto: naruto next generations manga reached the youth era, these two old things were still alive and well.
It was truly a tragedy.
But now that he was here, today would be the end of their lives.
Uchiha Yuzuru did not hesitate, raising his long blade and slashing down.
Puchi!
Puchi!
The pleas for mercy from Mitokado Homura and Koharu Utatane came to an abrupt halt.
Two pillars of blood soared into the sky, and their heads rolled down from the high platform, their faces filled with expressions of terror and regret.
Uchiha Yuzuru kicked the two headless corpses off the platform, flicked the blood off his long blade, and walked toward Shimura Danzo.
"Danzo, it's your turn."
Feeling that icy killing intent, Shimura Danzo felt his mouth go dry, and the fear in his heart began to magnify.
The last time he was this close to death was when he was a guard by Senju Tobirama's side... "Uchiha Yuzuru, if it weren't for Hiruzen's indecisiveness back then, your Uchiha Clan would have been exterminated by me long ago."
"Dying at your hands today is not my fault!"
Hearing Shimura Danzo's words, Uchiha Yuzuru sneered: "Do you really think that with the power in the hands of you few, you could truly be a match for the Uchiha Clan?"
"If it weren't for the fact that I didn't want the clan to suffer too many casualties, how could you have lived until now?"
In the original story, the Uchiha Clan was exterminated because Uchiha Shisui died, Uchiha Itachi joined the Hokage faction, Uchiha Fugaku gave up resistance, and Uchiha Obito assisted in secret... That's why they were slaughtered cleanly in a single night without any preparation.
Under normal circumstances, once the Hokage faction went to war with the Uchiha Clan, the battle would inevitably last for a long time.
During that time, seeing their friends and family die one by one, who knows how many Mangekyo Sharingan would have emerged within the Uchiha Clan.
After all, in ancient times, because of the forbidden technique Izanagi, a long period of infighting began within the Uchiha Clan.
According to records, there were countless Mangekyo Sharingan in the Uchiha Clan at that time.
Finally, it was Uchiha Naori who developed Izanami to quell this internal strife.
If Shimura Danzo had really launched the night of extermination early, the Uchiha Clan would definitely not have been so easily slaughtered as in the original story.
Looking into Uchiha Yuzuru's half-smiling eyes, Shimura Danzo knew he could not escape death.
In front of his clansmen and teacher, he didn't want to show his cowardly side again, so he did not open his mouth to beg for mercy.
"Uchiha Yuzuru, do it."
Seeing Shimura Danzo ready to face death, how could Uchiha Yuzuru possibly grant him his wish?
He reached out and tore off the bandage over Shimura Danzo's eye, suddenly plucking one of his eyes out.
"As expected, there's another Sharingan."
Uchiha Yuzuru snorted coldly and incinerated the Three-Tomoe Sharingan in his hand.
Now that the Uchiha Clan had many members and cloning technology was gradually being perfected, he no longer needed to collect Sharingan as a life-saving trump card.
Seeing Shimura Danzo's face twitch in pain, Uchiha Yuzuru said coldly: "Shimura Danzo, I now strip you of everything in my capacity as the master of Konoha."
"You will be completely forgotten by people, as if you never existed in this world."
Hearing this, Shimura Danzo suddenly looked up, a look of resentment in his remaining eye.
"No, you can't do this to me!"
"I am the Disciple of the Second Hokage, the Darkness of the Shinobi of Konoha, the Fourth Hokage!!!"
He could endure humiliation, but he could not endure being forgotten.
He had done so many things just for the title of "Hokage."
After decades of plotting, he finally got everything he dreamed of.
Although his time in office was short, at least he had fulfilled his wish.
In the future, when Konoha's Hokage are mentioned, everyone would think of him, Shimura Danzo.
But now, Uchiha Yuzuru was actually going to strip him of his Hokage title and make people forget him completely... Absolutely not!!!
Seeing Shimura Danzo become hysterical, Uchiha Yuzuru finally showed a satisfied smile.
Hadn't he done all this just to see this scene?
Letting these few fellows die in unwillingness and regret was the punishment they deserved.
Thinking of this, a tiny Rasenshuriken condensed at Uchiha Yuzuru's fingertips.
With a gentle toss, he directly shattered the Hokage Rock that Shimura Danzo had recently carved.
"Uchiha Yuzuru, I'm going to kill you!!!"
Shimura Danzo roared and tried to stand up, but suddenly lost control of his body.
When he came back to his senses, he only saw a headless corpse falling from the platform.
Shimura Danzo opened his eyes wide with all his might, making "he-he-he" sounds in his throat, as his consciousness gradually sank into darkness.
"Only one left..."
Uchiha Yuzuru came behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, his voice like a demon's whisper.
"Sandaime, I won't let you be like Danzo."
"Although I will also strip you of your Hokage status, I will compile your story into textbooks so that everyone can take it as a warning."
"You will be used as a typical example, forever nailed to Konoha's pillar of shame."
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's body trembled. Two lines of muddy tears flowed down his face, and he kept muttering: "I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled..."
What he cherished most in his life was his reputation, which was why he prioritized his image in everything.
But he didn't expect that the image he had spent his whole life building would be overturned by Uchiha Yuzuru in one fell swoop.
Not only that, but he would be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.
This kind of punishment was ten thousand times more painful than killing him!
Sarutobi Hiruzen was filled with regret.
Why, why did I have to oppose the Uchiha Clan back then?
Clearly, as long as I gave them a little bit of benefit, they would be grateful. Why did I have to drive them to extinction?
Looking at the hostile gazes of the crowd below the stage, Sarutobi Hiruzen was filled with remorse.
If I could start all over again... Puchi!
Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's rolling head, Uchiha Yuzuru held the long blade in his hand high.
"The four traitors are dead. Today, I, Uchiha Yuzuru, will purify the source for Konoha."
"From today on, Konoha shall return to the Uchiha Clan!"
