The Sarutobi clan head.
The Hokage's cousin.
A veteran jōnin of immense prestige.
Dead.
Silence fell.
Even Fugaku trembled.
This man—
He feared nothing.
Uchiha Aoki and Yamafū were stunned.
They admired Qianyu—
But this was absolute decisiveness.
The Sarutobi clan exploded.
"Uchiha Qianyu—you dare kill our clan head?!"
"Kill him!"
"Revenge!"
Qianyu raised his blade.
His crimson Sharingan glared coldly.
The rage faltered.
Then—
Two figures landed between the forces.
Shisui spoke first.
"Qianyu—have you lost your mind?!"
Qianyu glanced back calmly.
"Where am I wrong?"
"He was the Sarutobi clan head!"
"You killed him just like that?!"
"Who attacked first?"
Silence.
Aoki shouted, "Sarutobi Hiyū did!"
Qianyu looked at Shisui.
"You heard him."
Shisui faltered.
Shinnosuke spoke coldly.
"Come with the ANBU."
"Why?"
"You killed Sarutobi Hiyū."
Qianyu sneered.
"I answer to the Police Force."
"Since when did the ANBU get to command us?"
Shinnosuke clenched his fists.
Before battle could erupt—
Fugaku stepped forward.
"I'll take responsibility."
"To the Hokage."
The Uchiha Police Force ignited with chakra.
Standoff.
And the spark of civil war—
Hovered in the air.
