Night of the Clan Massacre: Leading the Uchiha to Defect from Konoha!

"What happened?"

"This aura… has the enemy arrived?"

"Damn it, it's from Lady Mei Terumi's side!"

"Hurry and support her!"

…

The Mist ninja scattered in the dense forest, who had been resting, were instantly alerted.

They all dropped what they were doing and rushed toward Mei Terumi's location.

"The enemy is… only one person?!"

Seeing Kaede standing before Mei Terumi, the Mist ninja were full of surprise.

But as they drew closer, the pressure radiating from Kaede multiplied several times over, instantly making them highly alert.

This guy clearly wasn't easy to deal with!

Seeing all the Mist ninja arrive, Mei Terumi's expression changed dramatically.

She turned back angrily and waved her hand. "Run! He's Kaede Uchiha!"

In an instant, all the Mist ninja's pupils shrank.

Kaede Uchiha… this name was one they'd been hearing almost every day lately!

And his battle record had been spreading rapidly among the Mist ninja.

With just their two hundred people here, even with Mei Terumi leading, they probably couldn't even warm him up!

Kaede glanced at Mei Terumi and sneered. "You really are responsible."

"Unfortunately, you're all going to die today!"

Spreading his hand, massive chakra instantly gathered in his palm.

In the blink of an eye, a massive chakra compression sphere, similar to a Tailed Beast Bomb, appeared before everyone's eyes.

Facing this overwhelming attack, the Mist ninja instinctively stepped back in fear.

Mei Terumi bit her lip hard, terror filling her eyes.

As the attack was about to fall, she couldn't help but shout:

"Stop! I'll agree to all the compensation you mentioned!"

"Oh?" Kaede shook his head with a smile.

"Too bad. Now that you're agreeing, the compensation is no longer just the two tailed beasts!"

Then, as if something came to mind, he added:

"And I've been thinking—since you're part of the Mist rebel faction, taking the Three-Tails off your hands is actually helping you with your problem."

"Helping you deal with that useless Mizukage who's being controlled—that's a price you can't afford."

Hearing that, Mei Terumi's eyes widened. "You lied to me?!"

"The Fourth Mizukage… is being controlled?!"

Kaede curled his lip. "You can't afford the value of that information either."

"What the—?!" Mei Terumi's mouth twitched violently.

In just a few seconds, Kaede had raised the compensation twice?

She glared at Kaede with hatred. What exactly did he want?!

Kaede smiled playfully. "At this rate, you'll probably have to hand over the entire Hidden Mist Village as compensation."

Mei Terumi froze. Staring at Kaede, who was toying with them in the palm of his hand, she finally understood.

Kaede had never intended to let them go!

The talk about compensation was just nonsense—he wanted the entire Hidden Mist Village!

At that moment, Kaede unleashed his attack.

"Farewell."

The energy sphere, even more powerful than a Tailed Beast Bomb, shot toward the Mist ninja at incredible speed.

The terrified Mist ninja tried to fight back, but before their hand seals were even complete, the attack had already reached them!

Boom!

The massive explosion instantly engulfed the entire area!

"No!"

Mei Terumi screamed in horror—these were the last Mist ninja who hadn't been brainwashed!

Moments later, the smoke from the explosion cleared.

The area where the Mist ninja had stood was now a living hell.

Corpses littered the ground. Blood flowed like a river.

Seeing this, Mei Terumi was consumed by rage.

"Die!"

With a roar, she turned and threw a punch at Kaede's head.

But with her strength, she clearly couldn't threaten Kaede.

Not to mention, she wasn't even a taijutsu specialist.

Smack!

Kaede casually raised his arm, easily blocking the punch.

He smiled lightly. "Looks like you've completely lost your head."

Mei Terumi didn't answer. Filled with resentment, she attacked again.

With her other hand, she threw several kunai at Kaede, while keeping a few to stab at the arm holding her fist.

Clearly, she intended to trade injury for injury.

"You're being troublesome."

Releasing her hand, Kaede leapt back, dodging the kunai.

Taking the chance, Mei Terumi quickly formed hand seals.

"Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique!"

In an instant, orange-yellow acid surged toward Kaede.

"Heh, finally remembered you're a shinobi."

Kaede opened his mouth and spat out a sea of fire that collided with the acid.

Sizzle!

The acid burned by the flames sizzled loudly, while thick smoke spread instantly.

Kaede frowned, covering his nose. "Forget it, I'm done playing with you."

Just then, Mei Terumi, undeterred, unleashed another kekkei genkai.

"Lava Release: Quicklime Congealing Technique!"

She exhaled a dense acidic mist that shrouded her body.

It blocked Kaede's vision and corroded everything it touched.

But Kaede simply blew out a breath.

The gust, filled with natural energy, instantly swept the mist away, carrying it far off.

Before Mei Terumi could even react, Kaede appeared beside her.

"You'd better calm down."

In an instant, Kaede's hands flashed through seals around her.

A sealing technique quickly spread over Mei Terumi's body, cutting off her access to chakra.

"Damn it!"

Mei Terumi glared at Kaede in fury, actually trying to throw another punch.

Smack!

In a repeat of earlier, Kaede caught both her hands.

With a twist of his wrist, he locked her arms behind her head.

The immense pressure forced her down to the ground.

Only then did Kaede chuckle.

"Come on, you're going to take me to the Hidden Mist to collect my compensation."

At those words, Mei Terumi's face turned pale.

She looked at him pleadingly, finally softening her tone.

"No! Don't drag the Hidden Mist into this!"

"You've killed so many already—that should be enough to vent your anger!"

"Our mission was only known to one person—it has nothing to do with the village!"

Kaede shook his head, disdain in his eyes. "Haven't you figured it out?"

He leaned close to her ear. "In this ninja world, the weak have no right to explain."

"I've set my sights on your Hidden Mist Village—and it's not escaping my grasp."

Seeing the fear in her eyes, Kaede smiled.

"You should be thinking about how to convince your Mist ninja to submit to me."

"Otherwise, any force that doesn't obey will be destroyed."

With that, the sealing technique changed.

From that moment on, if Mei Terumi had any hostile thoughts toward him or strayed more than ten meters away,

She would be instantly immobilized by the seal!

Grabbing her arm firmly, Kaede said, "Let's go. You've got plenty of time on the way to think about what I said."

Mei Terumi thought about resisting, maybe even stabbing him when he wasn't paying attention.

But the moment the thought formed, she found herself completely unable to move!

Only when the thought faded did she regain control of her body.

"Damn it!"

She cursed inwardly, but could only follow Kaede unwillingly.

"Hidden Mist… what should I do?"
