Flicking away the half-tongue on his Kunai, Uchiha Fucheng wiped the Kunai repeatedly on Yamanaka Otsuki's clothes with a look of disgust.
His cold and ruthless demeanor thoroughly terrified the other RootNinjas on the wooden rack.
Even the dozen or so UchihaJonin guarding this place were deeply shaken by his sudden act of killing.
In the hearts of these UchihaJonin, although Uchiha Fucheng usually acted quite strict, he was actually very kind to the Uchiha clansmen and ordinary Konoha Ninjas.
They didn't expect that when facing the RootNinjas, Uchiha Fucheng would become a completely different person.
A Jonin from the 'Ino–Shika–Chō' clans, he killed him just like that without hesitation.
Seeing that the other RootNinjas had stopped clamoring, Uchiha Fucheng said calmly, "I know you are all RootNinjas, and Danzo Shimura hasn't been eyeing our Uchiha for just a day or two."
"But this time, when I obtained the Mangekyo Sharingan, you all suddenly went crazy. Why is that?"
"You have the Cursed Seal of the Individual Curse Tag, so you cannot speak of the Root's secrets, but you can honestly share your own subjective judgments."
"Whichever of you is willing to speak, I can grant you a less painful death. You all saw how Yamanaka Otsuki died just now."
"The Cursed Seal of the Individual Curse Tag will use Chakra to scramble your brains. There is no experience more painful than this before death."
Only then did the Jonin of the Uchiha Clan realize why Uchiha Fucheng was so bold in killing without hesitation—he clearly had no intention of letting any member of the Root leave alive!
The more unscrupulously he killed, the greater the deterrent effect it had on these RootNinjas.
A brutal way of dying was right before their eyes.
Not everyone in the Root was a brainwashed, loyalist Ninja. As soon as Uchiha Fucheng finished speaking, two of them immediately cried out for mercy.
The tear-streaked Ninjas begged Uchiha Fucheng to spare them.
"Lord Uchiha Fucheng, I was wrong! I had no choice. Danzo Shimura holds our lives in his hands, I was forced into this!"
The other Ninja begging for mercy also wept bitterly.
"Lord Uchiha Fucheng, it was all Danzo who controlled my family to force me. I didn't want to harm you. It was all Yamanaka Otsuki; he was our captain. He said you possessed the legendary Mangekyo Sharingan."
"He said you posed a threat to Lord Danzo, and ordered us to secretly contact the Root to ambush and kill you on your way back to the Village."
Uchiha Fucheng looked at the two with amusement. "Interesting. I thought you wouldn't be able to share any information at all."
"Seeing how cooperative you are, I might consider undoing your control seals."
"Someone, take them aside! Have them write down everything that doesn't involve the seal's restrictions as a signed confession."
Two UchihaJonin untied the two men.
They bound them with special Chakra shackles before dragging them to the side to write their confessions on their knees.
With these two breakthroughs, the remaining five so-called tough guys' greatest resistance was merely keeping their mouths shut.
Uchiha Fucheng smiled and said, "Anyone else want to confess? If not, don't blame me."
"You've done plenty of evil deeds in the Root, so it's better for you to die early and be reincarnated."
Several RootNinjas showed looks of resentment, and a member of the Shimura Clan cursed furiously.
"The Root is for Konoha's sake! You Uchihas are the truly evil clan! All evil Uchihas should be killed!"
This time, Uchiha Fucheng didn't even lift a finger; he simply raised his chin.
Uchiha Lan, who was guarding them nearby, rushed forward without a word.
He was an elite Jonin from the lineage of the Great Elder Uchiha Setsuna. However, ever since he submitted to Uchiha Fucheng, he had instead become Uchiha Fucheng's most fanatical follower.
It was somewhat like the convert effect.
Uchiha Lan pinched Shimura Tsuchiya's cheeks with one hand and sliced the tongue right out of his mouth.
Shimura Tsuchiya's death was extremely similar to Yamanaka Otsuki's.
At this moment, he also coughed up large mouthfuls of blood first, and then his body shook violently.
A terrifying creaking sound of shattering bones echoed from inside his head. As the sound of bone-crushing intensified, blood poured from his eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and tongue.
The Cursed Seal of the Individual Curse Tag!
It was truly horrifying.
Once again, it demonstrated a spine-chilling way to die.
The two RootNinjas who were writing furiously on the ground began to write their confessions even faster.
Even the remaining four on the wooden rack stopped shouting and screaming.
They were afraid of provoking Uchiha Fucheng.
Even the most loyal RootNinjas would feel fear, tremble, and be at a loss when facing death.
Looking at the two RootNinjas kneeling to the side, they had already written four or five lengthy pages in just a few minutes.
Uchiha Fucheng knew that this was likely all they could get out of them.
Before mastering the method to undo the Cursed Seal of the Individual Curse Tag, he could only gather some intelligence that did not involve the Root's secrets in a roundabout way through their voluntary cooperation.
Even the [Yamanaka Secret Technique: Mind Reading Technique] rewarded from [Fu Yamanaka's fate dice] just now...
...could not obtain the target's brain memories under the control of the Cursed Seal of the Individual Curse Tag.
Having obtained the confessions of the two RootNinjas, Uchiha Fucheng readily gave them a quick death.
As for the stubbornly tight-lipped, loyalist RootNinjas, Uchiha Fucheng's handling of them held a deeper meaning.
In this battle, several young UchihaJonin who had just awakened their Three Tomoe were called over.
Uchiha Fucheng ordered them to personally send the four RootNinjas on their way.
Facing the horrific death caused by the Cursed Seal of the Individual Curse Tag, even the Uchiha Ninjas who had awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan felt a spine-chilling sensation down their backs.
"Remember this, everyone. This is the Root—a Konoha intelligence agency that constantly wants to destroy the Uchiha and every single one of us. Once we return to the Village, stay on high alert."
Uchiha Fucheng said in a chilling tone.
Accompanied by the blood splattered all over the ground, it was exceptionally terrifying.
Regrettably, the deaths of these few people did not trigger any system prompts.
Uchiha Fucheng shook his head with some regret.
Knowing of the existence of "Edo Tensei and Orochimaru's cloning technology," he naturally would not leave behind any of their bodies or organs.
A great fire...
...instantly reduced all usable bioactive components to ashes.
Finally, Uchiha Fucheng also used Earth Release to carefully backfill the underground space.
Only then did he lead the Uchiha Ninjas back to the Konoha camp, feeling completely relieved.
...
This retaliation against the Root also yielded some unexpected gains.
Among the confiscated items of the RootNinjas, they actually found six Three TomoeUchihaSharingan and five Two TomoeSharingan organs.
This made the UchihaJonin particularly furious.
Previously, some Jonin from the moderate faction of the Uchiha were worried that retaliating against the RootNinjas might be too radical.
But with this evidence of the Root targeting the Uchiha for their Sharingan organs, even the most moderate UchihaJonin became radicalized when faced with the gouged-out Sharingan of their clansmen.
This was no different from Kurapika seeing the Scarlet Eyes at the auction.
Sometimes, drawing closer to one another only requires sharing a few secrets.
They had boldly killed the RootNinjas together, risking discovery by the Village.
This shared secret brought these UchihaJonin much closer to one another.
Under Uchiha Fucheng's further integration, the relationships among the major factions in the entire Uchiha camp became very harmonious.
Some conservative and moderate Uchiha Ninjas, after participating in Uchiha Fucheng's retaliation against the RootNinjas, even felt that some of the radical Uchiha's previous actions seemed far too conservative...
