At that ti, Uchiha Ryun’s only thought was to quell the war in Iwagakure as quickly as possible, while also considering Konoha’s future. So, he decided to completely eliminate Tōshi, that Iwagakure commander.
However, looking back now, Uchiha Ryun couldn’t help but feel he had been too rciful back then. A cold sneer suddenly curled at the corner of his mouth, a smile radiating a chilling, bone-deep coldness.
Just then, a shinobi nearby noticed the change in Ryun’s expression and couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Brother Monkey, what are you smiling about? Sothing good happened? Tell us so we can be happy too."
This shinobi’s words drew the attention of others around. Everyone turned their gazes toward Ryun, awaiting his answer.
Shouhou’s external image might be sleazy and ruthless, but within the organization, he was highly respected.
His operations had never failed, and he acted with extre caution, never leaving any traces behind. Therefore, he often received praise from the leader.
However, these people absolutely could not imagine that the "Brother Monkey" standing before them now was no longer the Shouhou they were familiar with. It was the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, Uchiha Ryun.
Ryun slowly raised his head. His gaze was as cold as icy stars, seemingly able to pierce through a person’s soul. His hands trembled slightly, a powerful surge of chakra swirling between his palms like raging waves.
In that instant, Ryun struck. His movents were as fast as lightning, impossible to react to. His hand shot out like a phantom, instantly piercing through the body of the human trafficker accomplice before him, leaving only a faint blood trail.
This happened so quickly that the people in the hall hadn’t even had ti to react. When they ca to their senses, they saw the accomplice already collapsed on the ground, blood gushing from his body, staining the floor red.
"Monkey. Why did you attack your old brother?" soone shouted in terror.
"Monkey. Have you gone mad? Have you forgotten the leader’s words? Even if you have personal grudges, you cannot attack a brother." another person scread.
However, Ryun paid no heed to these voices. His eyes suddenly turned gold, a heart-stopping color that seed to contain infinite pressure. The golden Rinnegan slowly rotated within his sockets, emitting a terrifying aura.
Every shinobi present felt this pressure. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, their legs went weak, and they fell to their knees one after another. Their faces showed expressions of horror, as if facing a ferocious beast.
"What kind of power is this..." soone muttered to themselves.
"So terrifying..." another person said, trembling.
Under this imnse pressure, so shinobi couldn’t withstand it at all. Their bodies suddenly exploded, flesh and blood flying everywhere. Splat. Blood splattered, landing on others, filling everyone’s hearts with panic.
And precisely because of this panic, more shinobi successively exploded and died. Now, only a re handful of jōnin remained standing.
Ryun watched all this coldly, the corner of his mouth slightly upturned in a contemptuous smile. He didn’t need to lift a finger himself, because he knew these people could not survive under his pressure.
Sure enough, at that mont, Yamanaka Inoichi suddenly acted. He employed his Soul Combat technique. His soul, like a specter, drifted out of his body and shot straight toward the remaining few jōnin.
Inoichi’s soul moved with extre speed, like lightning, instantly piercing through the bodies of those jōnin. Those jōnin didn’t even have ti to scream before they fell dead.
Inoichi’s soul returned to his body. Looking at the corpses littering the ground, a look of disgust appeared on his face.
"Truly a bunch of trash," he said coldly.
After finishing this, his soul returned to his main body. He nodded to Ryun. Ryun withdrew his pressure, as if nothing had happened at all.
This organization that spread revenge across society and captured innocent won was instantly reduced to only its leader. This was the suppression of absolute power.
Ryun spoke up, "Let’s go. Let’s go et the descendant of an old acquaintance."
"Old acquaintance?" Inoichi was taken aback. Could it be that this organization’s leader was the descendant of soone Ryun knew? That would complicate matters. To kill or not to kill?
However, Ryun didn’t give him ti to think. Placing a hand on Inoichi’s shoulder, Inoichi felt the world spin before appearing in the dungeon.
The leader was in the middle of negotiating a price with Yui Hatano when a golden light suddenly flashed, and two figures appeared. He imdiately beca alert. Such a thod was clearly not sothing an ordinary shinobi could control. In his mory, there was only one.
The Yellow Flash.
Could it be that Konoha’s Yellow Flash, Namikaze Minato, had taken action? He looked toward the shimring golden light, straining to open his eyes. The next second, his eyes beca bloodshot, turning crimson.
"Heh heh heh, Uchiha Ryun. It really is you. My father’s killer." Tōshi’s son roared, then pulled out a kunai and stabbed toward Ryun.
Ryun activated the first stage of the Susanoo, its skeletal fra appearing. The next mont, Tōshi’s son’s kunai struck the Susanoo. Instantly, the kunai’s blade shattered. Tōshi’s son’s eyes showed disbelief.
Ryun sneered coldly, "Stabbing Susanoo with a kunai. You think you are Dan..." Suddenly, Ryun cut off his words. Forgive , forgive . Now, Danzo was his subordinate, even his friend. How could he compare Tōshi’s son to his own friend?
Inoichi was stunned. He looked at Ryun, sowhat puzzled. ’Dan’ what? Danzo? Ryun glanced at him. Inoichi imdiately shuddered, then began looking around as if he saw and heard nothing.
Seeing his reaction, Ryun laughed. But right now, he had important matters to handle. He looked at Tōshi’s son and said, "You are Tōshi’s son, right? You look alike. Really alike."
Tōshi’s son gritted his teeth, then charged at Ryun again. The murder of his father was an unforgivable enmity. Now the killer was right before his eyes. If he did not avenge his father now, he would be unworthy of being a son.
"What? So eager to co and die?" Ryun waved his hand grandly. Simultaneously, a large golden hand extended from the Susanoo skeleton, slapping toward Tōshi’s son’s face.
Tōshi’s son drew a katana, slashing at the Susanoo hand. The result was the sa as with the kunai: the weapon shattered, and his body was sent flying.
Tōshi’s son’s body traced a graceful parabolic arc through the air before crashing heavily to the ground, stirring up clouds of dust.
"Overestimating your capabilities," Ryun said indifferently. Looking at Tōshi’s son, he regretted his past rcy more and more, letting Tōshi’s entire family go. Now, Tōshi’s descendant was actually kidnapping won from Konoha to traffic for profit.
This was no different from slapping Ryun in the face.
Tōshi’s son struggled to get up. Then Ryun flashed before him. He opened the Eight Gates, activated the Mangekyō Sharingan, and punched Tōshi’s son right in the chakra sea.
This punch was intentional. Destroying the chakra sea ant Tōshi’s son would only be able to extract a tiny amount of chakra in the future, and it was incurable. Without the chakra sea to store chakra energy, it ant no matter how hard he trained for the rest of his life, at most he could only perform a C-rank jutsu.
Tōshi’s son’s face turned purple with suppressed rage. He could feel the chakra power within his body continuously draining and dissipating. He knew all too well what this ant.
From now on, he was a cripple. On a lucky day, he might be able to fire off one C-rank jutsu. If his underlings learned of his true condition, probably within a day, the organization’s leadership would change hands.
Ryun saw through his little calculations, "Don’t think about it. I’ve killed everyone else. You are also not far from death." Hearing Ryun’s words, Tōshi’s son was first stunned, then let out a sigh. Perhaps this was how it should be. He should have died back then.
Ryun didn’t care whose son he was, or what background he had. Offending Konoha ant death.
The next second, Ryun declared, "All of you are citizens under Konoha’s governance, or citizens of lands governed by Konoha. You were abducted by villains. Now, I, Hokage Uchiha Ryun, act on behalf of heaven’s will. I have crippled the villain’s chakra sea. From now on, he is a cripple. If you wish to take revenge on him, go ahead."
As soon as his words fell, the girls who had lost all hope for the future suddenly had a glint in their eyes. They all looked toward Tōshi’s son in unison. Now, Tōshi’s son no longer had his previous arrogance. His eyes were filled with fear.
He said viciously, "Uchiha Ryun, letting these lowly commoners humiliate , what kind of ability is that? If you have the skill, kill . I will not yield."
Ryun didn’t even have the desire to look at him. Because from the eyes of the kidnapped girls, he saw hatred. Now Tōshi’s son’s chakra sea was destroyed, his path as a shinobi severed. He would be a loser for the rest of his life.
Ryun walked to a corner, found a quiet spot, and sat down. The next mont, those won rushed forward, tearing at Tōshi’s son’s limbs and flesh with their teeth.
Tōshi’s son imdiately began screaming. He cursed Ryun for not following the rules of combat, for not giving them a proper resolution. He also cursed the lowly commoners. ’Without us, you would surely die. If it weren’t for pitying you, I wouldn’t sell so few won each ti.’
Ryun watched Tōshi’s son struggle, his heart completely unmoved. He really couldn’t feel happy. Even though Tōshi’s son died a miserable death, even though he suffered extre tornt, it still could not eliminate the hatred in Ryun’s heart.
Because of this one person, who knows how many families, how many children’s lives were ruined.
And the mastermind himself only suffered physical pain. Ryun felt it was still too light.
Finally, Tōshi’s son lost the strength to curse. His flesh was bitten off piece by piece, his skin stripped off. He died a wretched death. His soul was about to return to the Pure Land. At that mont, Ryun acted, capturing Tōshi’s son’s soul.
The next mont, the Shinigami appeared before Ryun. Its expression was unpleasant. If it weren’t for seeing Ryun’s eyes were the Rinnegan, it would have made Ryun experience the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.
