3:00 PM.
Yuya pushed open the door to the Konoha Military Police Force duty room for the third time.
As soon as the Duty Officer looked up and saw his face, he put on a mask of pain on the spot, his entire being completely numb.
“Big brother, I’m begging you, why are you here again?!” Yuya didn’t say a word, silently piling the heap of junk in his arms onto the counter.
A damaged dark blue coat, bandages stained with dried blood, a rusted Kunai that couldn’t even cut tofu, and two scorched pieces of wood.
They were neatly arranged in a row, creating an immersive, underworld-style exhibition.
“These are… the relics mentioned in the supplementary materials.” Yuya’s voice trembled.
“The regulations state that relics must be handed over in person by the individual, and they must be registered and cataloged…” The Duty Officer lowered his head to glance at the pile of items, feeling his blood pressure skyrocket.
The cut marks from a sharp weapon on the coat sleeves were clearly visible.
The bloodstains on the bandages had long since turned black and hardened, emitting a pungent, metallic smell.
That Kunai, paired with the scorched wood, looked exactly like “evidence from the crime scene” dragged out of a murder investigation.
“Where on earth… did you get these things from?” “They were left behind after someone came to my house a few nights ago.” Yuya’s reply was light and fragmented, carrying a habitual sense of shrinking away, perfectly nailing the “victim” persona.
“The coat was slashed that day.
The bandages were used to wrap the wound on my neck.
The Kunai was picked up in the courtyard.
The wood pieces are the residue of the door panel that was smashed and burned.” Every single item matched perfectly with the “Assault Report” on file at the Konoha Military Police Force.
The Duty Officer opened his mouth, but couldn’t manage to squeeze out a single word.
The colleague who had co-signed the report had already stood up and walked to the counter to examine the items one by one.
“The cuts on the coat are clean and sharp, definitely caused by Ninja tools.
The degree of oxidation of the bloodstains is also correct.” The colleague’s judgment was decisive.
“These can indeed serve as auxiliary materials for identity confirmation.” The Duty Officer sighed heavily, resignedly pulling a blank registration form from the drawer and beginning to fill it out item by item.
Item name.
Quantity.
Source explanation.
Storage conditions.
When he reached the “Purpose of Sealing” column, his pen paused for two seconds; he felt as though he were writing an epitaph for a living person.
Yuya took the words out of his mouth.
“If the body cannot be identified, the sealed relics may be used to assist in identity confirmation.
Write that.” The Duty Officer copied the line exactly as it was.
The rustling sound of the pen tip across the paper made one’s back feel cold in the quiet duty room.
The last line of the registration form was for additional terms.
Yuya didn’t wait for him to ask.
“Sealed items may not be privately transferred, retrieved, or destroyed by personnel not officially on the Konoha Military Police Force payroll.
Just like it’s written in the supplementary materials.” The colleague nodded and signed his name in the handler column.
The Duty Officer followed up by signing the second one.
The two of them packed the pile of junk into a kraft paper bag, applied a seal, and gave it a number that matched the old file perfectly.
The paper bag was stuffed into the bottom layer of the iron cabinet, and the lock clicked shut with a “click.” From start to finish, it took no more than ten minutes.
After signing, Yuya bowed deeply as usual, tucked his hands into his sleeves, and turned to walk out.
A few onlookers had gathered outside the duty room.
“It’s really sealed?” “Sealed.
A bag of junk, said to be relics.” “Is this kid really planning to die?” “What kind of decent person arranges their own funeral affairs so clearly?
I really can’t understand this move.” “Stop talking, stop talking, it’s bad luck, let’s go quickly!” The crowd dispersed even faster than last time, afraid of getting tainted by this walking source of bad luck.
Yuya hunched his shoulders and turned into an alley, his footsteps dragging.
The moment he completely disappeared into the uninhabited shadows, the system interface popped up in his field of vision!
[Mission Progress: 100%] [Conditions Met: Key Observers Informed ✓ | Official Archiving ✓ | Relics Sealed ✓] [“Wartime Corpse Disposal and Missing Person Liability Exemption Chain” — Completely Closed Loop!] Yuya’s footsteps paused.
It was finally here!
[Calculating Rewards…] [Task Difficulty Coefficient Detected: S-Rank (Within the countdown to the clan extermination, utilizing the administrative system to complete the full closed loop of a paper death, the ultimate “sly maneuver”!)] [Reward Quality: Epic!] On the interface, three dazzling golden beams of light lit up one after another.
[Reward 1: Three-Tomoe Sharingan — Activated!] [Description: Directly evolved based on the original single-tomoe!
Dynamic vision significantly enhanced, capable of capturing Jonin-level speed; basic genjutsu resistance improved, automatic recognition of conventional genjutsu; visualization precision of Chakra flow increased threefold.
Note: Still unable to resist Tsukuyomi and Kamui-level ocular jutsu.] [Reward 2: Perfect Sage Body (Incomplete Version) — Issued!] [Current Modification Progress: 10%.
Recovery ability and Chakra limit significantly increased.
Subsequent progress must be accelerated by completing tasks.] [Reward 3: Taijutsu Enhancement — Edge of the Jonin Threshold!] [Description: Muscle memory and explosive power comprehensively upgraded, but the newly acquired strength requires practical combat adaptation; there will be errors in fine control in the short term.] The three golden lights merged into his body simultaneously, and Yuya felt a tingling sensation in his scalp from the pleasure.
He leaned against the wall, suppressing the urge to let out a long howl.
His total Chakra volume was rapidly expanding, his meridians were stretched open and then instantly repaired by some gentle force, and his muscle fibers were frantically reorganizing at a microscopic level.
Although the Sage Body modification was only ten percent, the recovery ability it brought was simply outrageous — the scabbed knife wound on his neck was healing and peeling off at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming as smooth as before!
His Chakra volume had directly leaped from Chunin level to Jonin level!
This leap, for a normal Ninja, would take at least five to eight years of risking their life.
Yuya only spent three days.
Each day focused on staging accidents and social suicide.
What do you call this?
This is called opening up the bigger picture, winning big!
But he didn’t have the slightest intention of getting carried away.
The system prompt was written clearly.
Three Tomoe cannot block Tsukuyomi, cannot block Kamui.
Even with Taijutsu at the edge of Jonin level, in front of Itachi, he was still fated to not even see him draw his sword.
In other words, with his current strength, he could absolutely kill it against ordinary Root operatives.
But facing the two real living Yama of tonight — Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito.
He was still a little brother.
But it was enough; this wave was absolutely a huge profit!
His plan was never to fight head-on; if the King of Hell wants me to die at the third watch, I will exploit a bug to live until the fifth watch!
He only had one thing to do: under the eyes of two Mangekyo, complete a seamless “Schrödinger’s Death.” Yuya suppressed the terrifying Chakra fluctuations surging within his body.
Mental resilience worked wonders at this moment; he actively restrained his aura, tightly compressing the surging Chakra back to his original trash-tier frequency.
From the perspective of external perception, he was still that battle-power-of-five weakling with pitifully little Chakra.
Advanced perception was activated at full power, scanning the area.
The patrol two streets away showed no abnormal reactions.
At the Anbu observation point on the roof, the Chakra rhythm was steady.
No suspicion whatsoever.
Yuya breathed a sigh of relief and continued dragging his feet toward home.
The sky had begun to darken.
The clouds in the west hung extremely low, cutting the sunset’s afterglow into a narrow slit.
The flow of people in the clan compound was significantly less than during the day.
The training ground was more than half empty, and no one stopped in front of the bulletin board.
A suffocating sense of oppression was frantically gathering over the entire Uchiha Clan Compound.
Yuya’s advanced perception captured a deadly detail — around the clan compound, those Chakra sources scattered in various directions were slowly contracting.
The encirclement was tightening.
The butcher’s knife was already held against the necks of the entire clan.
Just waiting for the sky to go completely dark.
Yuya quickened his pace, slipped into his dilapidated courtyard, and backhanded the door bolt shut.
In the corner of his vision, the system interface refreshed with a glaring blood-red prompt.
[Host detected to be entering a high-risk event area.] [Final mission branch unlocked —] [Objective: Complete “Paper Death” + “On-site Misdirection” + “Physical Escape” on the night of the clan extermination.] [Rewards will be calculated based on completion.
If all three are achieved, it will directly trigger the Legendary-grade reward pool!]
