"You bastard!"
Aburame Jianping roared, fury exploding beyond restraint.
Earlier, when Uchiha Qianyu had stormed the prison and slaughtered many guards, Jianping hadn't been present.
That could still be excused.
But now—
Right before his very eyes—
Not only were every criminal he had arranged dead to the last man,
four of his own subordinates had just been wiped out in an instant!
Unforgivable.
How Qianyu had escaped the seals no longer mattered.
There was only one thing that mattered now—
Kill him.
If Uchiha Qianyu lived, Jianping's fate would be worse than death.
He had personally assured the Hokage that this man would never see another sunrise.
Failure meant disgrace.
Disgrace meant annihilation.
Jianping erupted with chakra.
"Secret Technique — Insect Sphere!"
BZZZZ—
A low, piercing hum tore through the darkness, like an approaching storm that filled the air with instinctive dread.
"Captain's technique—!"
"Aburame clan… parasitic insects!"
"Retreat! That jutsu doesn't distinguish friend from foe!"
The ANBU guards scattered instantly.
Only one criminal remained alive.
Qianyu did not kill him immediately.
Instead, he turned his gaze toward Jianping.
"Aburame clan techniques?"
"These aren't ordinary parasitic insects…"
"Invisible to the naked eye."
"But—"
His three-tomoe Sharingan flared scarlet.
To his eyes, every chakra-feeding insect glowed like fireflies in the dark.
Still, Qianyu didn't underestimate his opponent.
An ANBU prison commander was no ordinary shinobi.
He formed seals.
"Fire Release — Dragon Flame Jutsu!"
A roaring dragon of fire surged forward, scorching the air itself.
Most of the insects were instantly incinerated.
But many more poured in from every direction.
Qianyu chuckled.
"Impressive. The Aburame live up to their name."
Then—
To everyone's disbelief—
He did not retreat.
He allowed the remaining insects to swarm his body.
Jianping froze—then laughed coldly.
"So you choose death?"
"Secret Technique — Devouring Swarm!"
The insects erupted, gnawing at flesh and chakra alike.
They didn't spare the final criminal either.
"AAAAAAAH—!"
The man screamed in agony.
Jianping sneered.
"Perfect. Cleans up the mess for me."
Then—
The darkness exploded.
⚡⚡⚡
A humanoid figure of lightning erupted inside the prison, illuminating everything in blinding brilliance.
"What—?!"
Every ANBU present stared in disbelief.
Wrapped in crackling lightning—
Uchiha Qianyu stood reborn.
Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
By stimulating every cell with lightning chakra, his speed, defense, and power surpassed natural limits.
For now, he used only its most basic form.
The lightning surged outward—
BOOM!
Every insect touching him was annihilated into ash.
As easily as melting snow.
Jianping's face drained of color.
"That power… don't tell me—"
Qianyu ignored him and looked at the final criminal.
A mocking smile appeared.
"You don't get to die by someone else's hand."
Slash.
Lightning surged along the rusted kunai.
The man's chest was pierced—then detonated.
Half his body vanished.
All criminals—
Exterminated.
Ding!
You have redeemed a wicked soul.
Virtue Points +60.
"Only sixty?"
Qianyu noted calmly.
Not all sins weighed the same.
Jianping finally understood—
This situation was beyond saving.
His voice trembled.
"Report to the Hokage—now!
And inform the new ANBU commander!"
Qianyu's interest was piqued.
A new commander?
With Sarutobi Shinnosuke dead, the future had diverged.
He didn't stop them.
Instead, he smiled at Jianping.
"Not running?"
Jianping steadied himself.
"I am the prison commander."
"I will not abandon my post."
Qianyu nodded.
"Loyal, then."
"But loyal to evil."
"Aburame Jianping—abuse of power, collusion with spies, murder of fellow Leaf shinobi."
"Sentence—death."
⚡⚡⚡
Lightning Release Chakra Mode activated fully.
Qianyu vanished.
Before Jianping could react—
The Pseudo-Dark Blade pierced his heart with absolute precision.
Sharingan.
Lightning Chakra Mode.
Pseudo-Dark Blade.
Together—
Qianyu reaped lives like grass.
