Chapter 110: Regret
"What is Kakuzu doing now?" asked the Takikage in his office.
"He escaped after going on a rampage," replied one of the elders. "Fortunately, there were no casualties."
"Good. From now on, put a bounty on him and label him as a missing-nin," ordered the Takikage.
Suddenly, a man appeared, swirling into the Takikage's office.
"What the..." Before the Takikage could finish, he felt the world spin.
Slap!
The sound of the slap echoed through the room, leaving everyone inside stunned. Before they could react, they were even more shocked to see Uchiha Madara standing before them.
"Ma... Ma... Madara-dono," they greeted him with the utmost respect.
Every ninja in the office trembled at the sight of him, keeping their gaze lowered. After all, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were known as the strongest shinobi in the world.
"So that man was Kakuzu?" asked Setsuna, currently disguised as Uchiha Madara.
"Kakuzu?" Takikage muttered, snapping out of his shock.
"Yes. He attacked Konoha a few days ago, so we branded him a missing-nin," Takikage said, trying to appear innocent.
Slap! The second slap rang even louder.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" asked Setsuna, his voice cold.
"No, Madara-dono is definitely not stupid," the Takikage stammered, sweating. Yet, gathering his courage, he decided to fight back.
Forming hand seals—Tiger → Ram → Horse → Snake → Ox—he unleashed a powerful Steaming Water Jutsu from his mouth.
"Hahaha, I've defeated Uchiha Madara!" Takikage raised both hands triumphantly to the sky.
"It looks like you really did send the assassin," said Setsuna, still disguised as Madara.
"Genjutsu!" the Takikage realized. "Those cursed eyes!"
Before he could react, Setsuna's fist connected with his gut. The Takikage doubled over, vomiting an unknown liquid. Within a second, Setsuna placed a Fuinjutsu seal, locking his chakra and rendering him immobile.
"What?" The ninjas, still stunned by Madara's presence, finally noticed the Takikage collapsed on the floor.
"Protect the Takikage!" they shouted, rushing to attack Setsuna.
However, their blades passed through him as if slicing air.
"Impossible! Is this genjutsu?" one of them exclaimed.
"Kai! Kai!" several of them yelled, trying to break free.
"No, this isn't genjutsu," another ninja observed. "It seems Uchiha Madara has an ability that makes attacks pass right through him."
With ease, Setsuna subdued every ninja, knocking them out. Once they were unconscious, he approached the Takikage and delved into his memories, searching for evidence of the assassination plot.
---After 15 minutes---
"The Fire Daimyo hired us to kill Madara, but we knew Uchiha Madara is an extremely powerful shinobi, almost impossible to defeat," said the Takikage under the influence of the Sharingan.
"Madara is indeed a strong ninja, so why did you accept the Daimyo's request?" asked Setsuna.
"The reward was too large to ignore. With just one mission, we could potentially help those in our village who are struggling," replied the Takikage.
"How many people knew about this and approved the mission?" Setsuna questioned again.
"Every ninja in the village knows because we discussed it in a meeting, but the decision to approve the mission was made by me and seven others," the Takikage answered.
Setsuna then located the individuals the Takikage mentioned and sealed them inside Kamui.
He didn't want to kill them himself, this is not his revenge but Uchiha Izuna revenge.
---Izuna Rampage---
"Daimyo-dono, an Uchiha has been spotted entering the gate," said the guard.
"What?" The Daimyo, who had been entertaining his concubine, was shocked. "Who is the attacker?"
"It... it was Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna from Konoha village," the guard reported.
This time, the Daimyo was truly terrified, knowing exactly what he had done to both of them.
"How... how do they know? Call Hashirama immediately!" ordered the Daimyo, realizing only Hashirama could stop Madara's rampage.
"Daimyo, a team has already been dispatched to seek Konoha's support, but it may take half a day before Hashirama-sama can arrive," the guard informed him.
Suddenly, the door was violently punched open.
Boom!
Two figures appeared, stepping through the shattered door. The first was Uchiha Izuna, and the second, Uchiha Madara.
"You..." the Daimyo pointed at the two Uchihas. "Why have you come here and destroyed my mansion? This is an act of defiance against the king!"
"King?" Izuna smirked. "You dare call yourself a king after what you've done to my family?"
"What family? I didn't do anything to you," lied the Daimyo.
"Hahaha, we have all the proof that you're the one who ordered the assassination," Izuna revealed.
"Impossible! Why would I kill my own excellent ninja? It would weaken this land and invite invaders to attack the Land of Fire," the Daimyo excused, though it was all a lie.
"Enough!" Izuna shouted. "Today, I'll make sure you regret ever being born into this world."
"What are you doing? Attack them!" ordered the Daimyo to his guards.
The twelve guardian ninjas, who had been watching the conversation, suddenly charged at Uchiha Izuna.
Izuna noticed the chakra-infused kunai being thrown at him, evading the attack swiftly and dashing towards the guardians.
As he closed the distance, Izuna used Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu (Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu).
In the movies, fire-style jutsu may often seem like they never kill anyone, but in reality, it's different.
Two guardian ninjas were charred by the fire-style jutsu. Two down, and eleven more to go.
Madara, who was watching, decided not to intervene in the fight because this was Uchiha Izuna's revenge.
Five minutes later, all the guardian ninjas had been defeated—six were killed on the spot, and the remaining six were severely injured.
Izuna stepped closer and grabbed the Daimyo by his clothes, his eyes shifting from the three-tomoe Sharingan to the Mangekyou Sharingan.
"We ninjas never rebelled or fought against the Daimyo. Even after forming Konoha, we maintained your authority. But you never appreciated us. Instead, you sent assassins to kill my daughter. Your sins must be punished."
Izuna closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he muttered, "Tsukuyomi."
Now, the Daimyo truly regretted sending assassins against the Uchiha clan. He should have been content with simply being the Daimyo.
