Obiko charged recklessly towards the clearly formidable Sasuke like a mindless brawler, the wooden spikes created by her Wood Release: Cutting Technique extending from her hands.

It looked as if she was simply seeking her own death.

However, this was actually part of Obiko's plan.

'Hmph! Foolish guy-'

Just as she expected, the Sasuke in her vision reached out with his claws again, exactly as predicted.

The claws shimring with lightning and flas gave Obiko a very dangerous feeling, as it was this move that had severed her arm earlier.

But no matter how powerful the attack, it was useless if it didn't hit.

She didn't dodge or evade, seemingly completely oblivious to the claw strike.

The next mont, Obiko passed straight through Sasuke's body as if they weren't on the sa plane.

After passing through Obiko, a thin chain appeared before Sasuke.

It was the chain attached to the tail of the Uchiha Clan's treasured Gunbai, renowned for its incredible toughness.

Once the overlap between Obiko and Sasuke completely dissolved, the chain shifted from intangible to solid, wrapping towards Sasuke's waist.

Using the chain's recoil, Obiko spun around quickly, driving two sharp wooden spikes capable of absorbing Chakra towards Sasuke's back.

Crack-

That was the crisp sound of the wooden spikes shattering.

Obiko's eyes widened behind her mask.

"What? You thought sothing like this could hurt ?"

Only then did Obiko see that her chain hadn't entangled Sasuke at all, but was caught within his claw.

And the Wood Release: Cutting Technique couldn't even pierce Sasuke's skin.

Before Obiko could exert more force, the tough chain was rapidly covered in blue flas. Under her gaze, it beca rusted and brittle within just a few breaths.

'Impossible!'

With a casual tug, the chain snapped in two before Obiko's eyes.

"Just like Danzo, you only know how to play petty tricks from the shadows."

"Damn you... Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance!"

Swirling air currents rapidly gathered before Obiko's mask, transforming into a winding fire dragon that coiled towards Sasuke.

The flas, amplified by the wind, expanded dramatically, engulfing Sasuke's upper body.

'Not a Substitution Technique?'

Seeing Sasuke's lower body still standing in place, Obiko felt slightly relieved.

Taking her technique head-on at this range, she believed even this hidden Uchiha expert couldn't withstand-

Before this thought could fully form, the flas were 'sucked' into a giant wolf's maw as if they were solid matter.

"Using Fire Release Ninjutsu on ... you're not the first to make that mistake."

A flash of killing intent crossed Sasuke's face before he transford into a line of fire, charging rapidly towards Obiko.

"Fire Release is ineffective... Wood Release: Hellish Paradise!"

Obiko slamd her hands onto the ground, and countless sharp wooden spikes radiated outwards around her in all directions.

If this technique were used in a crowd, it could cause massive destruction instantly.

Yet these things couldn't even slow Sasuke down for a mont.

He didn't even need to dodge.

The wooden spikes created by the Ninjutsu beca incredibly fragile before the Calamity Flas, offering less resistance than spider webs.

He closed the distance between them in the blink of an eye.

"Haa-"

Obiko directly manipulated the Wood Release to extend nurous vines from her arms.

The suddenly thickened wrists also granted her sufficient arm strength… at least enough to block Sasuke for a mont.

Sasuke's fists were intercepted by Obiko's massive arms. Even if only for a brief mont, it achieved Obiko's purpose.

"Die!"

Crack, crack- sounds of breaking ca from her arms, unclear whether it was the vines or her own muscles and tendons.

But Obiko couldn't care less now, directly activating Kamui on the approaching Sasuke.

The spatial attraction quickly distorted Sasuke's form.

But the next mont, an intense sense of danger ca from Obiko's side.

It was a black tail that had sohow circled around from the side.

"Hasshoken: Sword Tail!"

The massive tail, wrapped in Haki and lightning, swept towards Obiko's upper body.

This attack forced her to interrupt Sasuke's transfer.

Because before Obiko could completely transfer Sasuke to the Kamui Dinsion, the deadly tail would smash her head first.

Whoosh-

The sword tail passed through Obiko's figure. She had entered her intangible state again, her captured hands breaking free in the process.

But judging by her arms hanging limply, her situation clearly wasn't good.

"Obiko, we need to leave! The commotion here is too loud. People from the Uchiha Clan's compound will arrive soon!"

White Zetsu's voice sounded in Obiko's ear, but it couldn't sway the woman.

"I have to kill him! He knows my identity!"

Obiko stared fixedly at Sasuke before her, showing no intention of retreating.

Her arms were restored again with White Zetsu's supplentation, looking as if they had never been injured.

But in reality, Sasuke had completely figured out her combat rhythm.

"Consider this collecting so interest."

He spoke softly.

The next mont, the Mangekyo Sharingan activated- Michikaeshi descends!

In that instant, Obiko, locked by the Mangekyo Sharingan's gaze, fell into montary stupor.

For so reason, her mind uncontrollably recalled all the beautiful mories with Nohara Jin.

Distraction is a major mistake in combat.

Although she only lingered in the Genjutsu for a mont before regaining clarity, even this brief interval of a single breath was enough for Sasuke to deliver the killing blow.

"Lightning Fire Sword!"

A flash of lightning, and the masked head flew into the air.

Under the terrifying effects of Michikaeshi, Obiko didn't even have ti to form hand signs for Izanagi before being decapitated instantly.

Without the advantage of information, Obiko at this stage was simply no match for Sasuke.

Zap, zap-

The lightning transford into a spear, killing the White Zetsu attempting to burrow into the ground.

Afterwards, Sasuke's form slowly returned to human shape.

He walked to Obiko's headless corpse and removed the mask from the head not far away.

"Really ugly, but this death suits you better."

"But this thing might still be useful..."

Sasuke removed the remaining Sharingan possessing the [Kamui] Dojutsu from Obiko and stored it in a storage scroll.

Then, without delay, he used Fire Release to thoroughly burn the mastermind's corpse, leaving no chance for resurrection.

The roaring flas turned the sinner's remains to ashes, symbolizing that the Uchiha in this world had finally avoided their unfortunate fate.

Perhaps the true mastermind, Black Zetsu, would have other sches, but Sasuke believed the prepared Uchiha wouldn't easily fall into his traps again.

The next day.

A minor uproar occurred among Konoha's higher-ups.

Those familiar with Danzo wore expressions of disbelief.

"Shimura Danzo conspired with external forces to annihilate the Uchiha Clan. He was discovered and executed within the Uchiha compound. The Root is disbanded and rged into the Anbu."

While shocking, this news was also within everyone's acceptance range.

Although Danzo rarely appeared, those who knew him understood he was indeed soone who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Coupled with the fact that this news was confird by the Hokage and the two advisors, everyone quickly accepted this reality.

For the rest of the village, it was hardly noteworthy.

Because very few people even knew soone nad Shimura Danzo existed.

Today, their attention was completely captured by the Uchiha Clan.

Relocating their compound, taking over businesses… Fugaku showed no intention of keeping a low profile.

They were practically lighting up fireworks.

This was also Sasuke's idea. Only by making the villagers accept that 'the Uchiha Clan is part of Konoha' could the divisions carefully cultivated over the years be erased.

Similarly, the ordinary Uchiha clansn needed this large-scale exposure to adapt to interacting with other villagers.

"Leaving today?"

Fugaku wasn't present at the relocation site. Instead, he ca to the village's entrance with his two daughters and wife to bid farewell to this Uchiha from another world.

"Yes, my companions are waiting for ."

Sasuke nodded slightly, then looked deeply at the people before him, as if carving their images into his mind.

Mikoto couldn't help but step forward and gently stroke Sasuke's head.

"If there's a chance, you're always welco here."

"..."

Sasuke didn't respond to this, silently accepting this 'mother's' affection before turning around to head for the Land of Wind.

But at that mont, a familiar voice rang out.

"Ah! Red Eyes, I finally found you!"
