A week passed slowly.
Yusuke made no significant moves. He spent almost every day eating and drinking, which gave Hiruzen and others a slight sigh of relief. However, they remained concerned about when he would actually leave the Leaf Village.
Judging from his current behavior, he showed absolutely no signs of departing.
On a street in Konoha, inside a barbecue restaurant.
Yusuke savored Mikoto's cooking. His arm rested on her shoulders while she fried pieces of meat and fed them to his mouth after blowing on them gently. They truly looked like a married couple now.
It had to be said — this woman was becoming increasingly skilled at pleasing him in the two most important ways.
Across from him sat three people with formal postures. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than the Leaf's Ino-Shika-Chō trio: Inoichi Yamanaka, Shikaku Nara, and Chōza Akimichi!
"Gentlemen, we meet again." Yusuke said with a smile, looking at them.
Cold sweat appeared on the foreheads of the three men. They were acutely aware of how powerful this man before them was!
"Lord Yusuke, may we ask why you've summoned us three here?" Shikaku took a deep breath and asked solemnly.
Rather than enduring this discomfort, it was better to speak frankly and get everything out in the open.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just wanted to ask you all — are you interested in the position of a Leaf Elder?" Yusuke asked with a smile.
Inoichi and Shikaku's brows twitched violently. The statement was overwhelming — nothing short of a bombshell.
"Aren't the positions of Leaf Elders already filled by Lord Danzō, Lady Koharu, and Lord Homura?" Chōza asked directly.
"That's why." Yusuke replied, eyeing him with satisfaction, "I'm asking if you're interested. You just need to answer yes or no. Think carefully before you respond."
It was a life-or-death question!
Cold sweat poured down Inoichi and Shikaku's foreheads. Yusuke's intention was crystal clear: if they uttered even one word of refusal, they likely wouldn't leave this place alive.
After a long, tense silence, Shikaku finally spoke, his voice heavy, "We're interested."
There was no other choice — it was the only possible answer. Refusal meant death.
It wasn't just about their own lives; they had children. Shikaku's newborn son Shikamaru and Inoichi's newborn daughter Ino couldn't lose their fathers. After careful consideration, they chose to compromise.
"A wise choice." Yusuke said with a soft laugh, "Konoha will need your hard work in the future."
As he spoke, he placed Mental Imprints in their minds — a double safeguard to ensure absolute certainty. He had considered erasing Inoichi and Shikaku's primary personalities entirely, but their original selves still had value. The Nara clan's intelligence, for instance — erasing the primary personality might diminish that brilliance in the secondary.
The Mental Imprint would activate immediately if it detected any betrayal. Moreover, it would gradually and imperceptibly alter their consciousness. Before long, they would naturally be completely at his service, just like the remaining ninjas in Kumo.
"I won't visit your clans. I don't think you'd want that either. So, you three need to exert yourselves." Yusuke said, waving his hand dismissively, "I'll give you a week. After that, come to me directly and prepare to assume the positions of Leaf Elders."
This statement was unambiguous. Within one week, he would completely reshuffle the Leaf's upper echelons!
The Ino-Shika-Chō trio dared not voice their anger — they didn't even dare to feel it! In the face of absolute power, there was only one option: compromise.
After the three left, Mikoto's eyes filled with admiration as she gazed at Yusuke.
"Master! You are truly amazing!" She exclaimed, her admiration sincere and heartfelt.
Deep down, Mikoto hoped that Konoha would yield and face reality. She had discovered that as long as one didn't oppose him, life could be very comfortable. In fact, if the Leaf Village were to surrender unconditionally, they might be even happier than before. After all, gaining the protection of someone as powerful as Yusuke was no small matter.
"It's nothing. Just a small trick." He said with a casual smile. Gently hooking her chin, he added, "I won't be able to keep you company tonight. I'm going to have a chat with those old fogies from the Leaf."
"...Mmm." Mikoto blinked, saying somewhat reluctantly, "Then... please be careful, Master."
"Hahaha..." Yusuke burst into laughter, "The only thing that can make me be careful is women!"
Mikoto smiled gently at his response.
"Let's go. We're heading to the hot springs. There's still some time before nightfall." Yusuke said with a smirk.
"Mm!" Mikoto nodded excitedly.
She couldn't explain why, but she was growing increasingly fond of this thrilling sensation — the excitement of intimacy in various places.
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
That night, Yusuke arrived leisurely at the Root headquarters.
Inside Root, panic immediately erupted. Nearly a thousand Root ninjas quickly surrounded him, as if a great battle was about to break out.
Danzō emerged slowly from the shadows onto the plaza, his eyes cold.
"I never thought... Yusuke Kamizuki... that you would dare to appear in this old man's Root!"
With that, he tore off all his bandages, including those on his arm, revealing eleven blood-red Mangekyō Sharingan. These were inferior versions cultivated by Orochimaru using Shin Uchiha.
However, to deal with this enemy, Danzō felt it was more than enough.
"Noisy." Yusuke glanced at Danzō, immediately losing interest.
He had thought the Root ninjas might pique his interest a little. But this was it? He couldn't even be bothered to turn these ordinary ninjas into his mental slaves.
'Too weak.' He shook his head.
The next second, blue electric currents erupted!
Lightning Release: El Vajra — God's Adamantine Pestle!
The blue currents expanded instantly into an electromagnetic field, frying every ninja present and manipulating any piece of metal, cutting through them all!
"Ah!"
"Demon! He's a demon!"
"We are no match for him!"
"Run! Run!"
"Run..."
"..."
Vibration Release: Kuukishin — Airquake!
Still standing on the ground, Yusuke unleashed his vibration powers, causing widespread destruction to Root's buildings and structures. His intent was clear — to maximize casualties. He chose Airquake for its precision, ensuring Konoha wouldn't detect the tremors and impacts.
"You! This old man will kill you!" Danzō roared as he watched his Root ninjas being electrocuted to death.
Fury consumed him — not for the lives lost, but for his tools being so mercilessly destroyed. This enraged him beyond measure!
"Who do you think you are?" Yusuke sneered.
He extended his right hand, clenching it fiercely towards the distant Danzō.
Mienai Sekai — Invisible World!
Juuryoku Hokai — Gravitational Collapse!
Crack!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
In an instant, Danzō's body began to twist grotesquely. Before the horrified eyes of the surviving Root ninjas, he was crushed to pieces.
Dead. The entire scene fell deathly silent.
"I'd tell you to rest in peace, but I want you to burn in hell." Yusuke said, shrugging at Danzō's remains. He then turned to the surviving ninjas, "Now it's your turn."
His powers raged through the compound, and in mere moments, Root was annihilated.
Surveying the corpse-strewn landscape, Yusuke's emotions seemed to drain away, leaving him hollow.

One might question: What about his agreement with Tsunade to spare civilians and ordinary ninjas?
Yusuke would argue that he has upheld this condition. After all, Root — that vile and unethical weapon forged by a deranged psychopath — could hardly be considered "ordinary". They were anything but it!
With a mere wave of his hand, the entire Root base began to crumble violently.
Rumble—
In moments, it lay completely buried beneath the rubble.
Yusuke cracked his neck and vanished without a trace, transforming into lightning.
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
It was still early when Yusuke arrived at the Shimura clan's residence.
In a matter of minutes, it was as if divine and demonic powers had descended. He had slaughtered the Shimura clan.
For the children, innocents, and even small animals, he simply erased their memories and transported them en masse to a remote village in the Land of Lightning. There, they would live ordinary lives.
Yet, in such a corrupt clan, nearly 80% were guilty of heinous crimes and thus accompanied their Elder on a direct passage to hell.
[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for slaughtering the Shimura clan! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1,500,000 Villain Points! ]
Yusuke surveyed the entire Shimura clan compound, then used the power of the Six Paths to erase it completely — as if the clan had never existed.
Only traces of a bloody smell lingered in the air, and even these were destined to vanish, for nothing remained.
Afterwards, he repeated the process.
He found Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado. After eliminating them, he completely erased their two clans as well, truly wiping them from the map of Konohagakure.
As these two clans were mostly composed of innocent civilians and children — their only claim to fame being the two elders they produced — he moved them to a remote village in the Land of Lightning as well. This way, he kept his oath to Tsunade, even though breaking it wouldn't have mattered.
He prided himself on being a man of honor and would keep his word to the end.
[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 3,000,000 Villain Points! ]
His primary motive for erasing and destroying these clans was to prevent any potential dissent during the upcoming exchange of elders in a week's time.
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
The next morning dawned on Konoha.
At first glance, the village seemed unchanged. The Uchiha Police Force continued their patrols, and the streets bustled with the usual cacophony of daily life. Yet, something felt amiss.
An inexplicable chill, like a surging wave, swept across the entire Leaf Village.
Finally, the anomaly was discovered: overnight, several clan residences had vanished without a trace!
