You… you're—"
"Uchiha Qianyu?!"
That name was infamous throughout Konoha.
And for ANBU—who frequently dealt with the Police Force—it was impossible not to recognize him.
But the Qianyu standing before them now…
Was far more terrifying than usual.
What stood at the prison gate no longer felt like a man—
But a bloodthirsty beast, crimson eyes glowing with murderous intent.
One of the guards trembled.
"E-even if you're Uchiha Qianyu, you can't break into an ANBU prison!"
"A-and you've already been suspended by the Hokage! You're not even Police Force anymore!"
As he spoke, he subtly gestured to the other guard.
Call headquarters.
Qianyu thought of Yamafū's severed arm.
Of Aoki, still hovering between life and death.
Of Clan Head Fugaku, bearing all the blame alone.
His face remained calm—
But inside, his fury had already reached the breaking point.
"I'll say this once."
"Move."
"Anyone who blocks me—dies."
The two guards' anger flared.
"Uchiha Qianyu! Don't push your luck!"
"Even when you were active, you had no authority to enter ANBU territory without clearance!"
"Are you trying to rebel?!"
Before the last word finished—
Flash.
A blade gleamed.
HUM—!
Chakra surged violently, the air itself distorting.
"Wha—"
They never finished the thought.
A cold sensation brushed their throats.
Then—
Nothing.
Thud.
Thud.
Two lifeless bodies collapsed at the prison gates.
Ding!
You have kindly helped exhausted ANBU guards fall into eternal rest.

Qianyu ignored the notifications.
The moment they fell, he had already surged inside.
ANBU Prison
Dark.
Rotting.
Hopeless.
Like a beast that devoured light itself.
Qianyu did not hesitate.
He charged forward.
Chaos erupted instantly.
"Intruder!"
"Who dares break into ANBU prison?!"
"T-that eye—!"
Qianyu released his chakra.
His Sharingan ignited, crimson and freezing.
Three tomoe spun like blades.
"It's Uchiha Qianyu!"
"Notify the captain!"
"Kill him!"
Seven or eight ANBU converged at once.
Kunai.
Shuriken.
Poison needles.
Fire.
Water.
Lightning.
Wind.
Earth.
A storm of death crashed toward him.
And yet—
To Qianyu's eyes, everything slowed.
Every trajectory.
Every killing intent.
He slipped through the barrage like a white lightning bolt, untouched.
In an instant, his hand clamped around a man's throat.
Crack.
"Guide me."
The ANBU froze.
That man—one of the prison's commanders—was pale with terror.
He knew this wasn't a bluff.
This man would kill him without hesitation.
His shaking hand pointed deeper inside.
"M-move…"
Qianyu ordered coldly.
They descended deeper.
Screams faded.
Only decay remained.
Finally—
"S-she's there…"
In the deepest darkness, a pair of eyes lifted.
Cold.
Predatory.
The Mist Village spy met Qianyu's gaze.
"Those eyes… the Sharingan…"
"Beautiful…"
"And terrifying."
Qianyu pressed his blade to the commander's neck.
Blood welled.
"I ask."
"You answer."
"Who else helped frame my subordinates?"
Hesitation.
Stab.
"I-I'll talk!"
"Seven of us! Acting on orders from above!"
Qianyu sneered.
"Then you were involved."
Slash.
A head rolled across the stone floor.
Ding!
You have helped an ANBU officer start life anew—from the head.

The prison erupted.
ANBU howled and charged.
The Mist woman's composure finally cracked.
This man… is worse than the demons of the Bloody Mist.
For the first time—
She felt fear.
