"Stop!"

Puchi

A kunai was ruthlessly stabbed into Uchiha Mina's heart. And at almost the same time, two guarding ninja rushed at Uchiha Tonan and placed their kunai on his neck.

"Damn it!"

Yamanaka Hayakawa looked at the iron bed with an ugly expression. He shouted at Yamanaka Ryochi, who just staggered up at the door.

"Immediately inform Takuya-sama."

Yamanaka Ryochi had just awakened from the genjutsu. He was still unaware of what had transpired. As his mind cleared, he dashed out.

Hehe...

At this moment, Tonan let out a miserable laugh, and tears of blood overflowed from his eyes. Ignoring the kunai on his neck, he brought his lips to Mina's forehead and gently kissed it.

"Mina... I love you..."

At this moment, Yamanaka Takuya, who heard the commotion, also walked in. On seeing the chaos in the interrogation room, he was surprised and asked, "What happened here?"

Hayakawa hastily replied, "Takuya-sama, we had begun the memory probe..."

After listening to the sequence of events, Takayu also became silent. He looked at Tonan, whose eyes were filled with inconsolable grief, and said, "Give me the memory record, and all of you withdraw."

"Yes."

Tonan ignored Takuya, and he unlocked the metal rings that bound Mina. Only the blindfold remained. He picked up her body and walked outside with a desolate look.

"Wait..." Takuya wanted to stop him but he retracted his hand before it reached halfway and sighed, "Go."

Tonan glanced at Takuya with a dull face and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."

He turned and left with staggering steps. Looking at Tonan made Takuya feel sad for some reason.

'You can already use Sharingan so skillfully. Even two chunin were unable to stop you... such capability...'

Takuya squinted his eyes and looked at the record in his hands.

"Let Hokage-sama make the decision."

After leaving the Torture and Interrogation Division, Tonan didn't go straight to the graveyard. He also didn't go to the clan. Instead, he chose a detour and walked through the bustling Konoha shopping streets.

How could there be no audience for such a scene?

Along the way, people pointed at him. The guards wanted to step forward and ask questions, but they were stopped by the Anbu, who was dispatched by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Where is he going?" In the Hokage office, Hiruzen pondered while watching the crystal ball in front of him.

Tonan's current state was far from good. In just three months, he lost a clan brother, both his parents, a classmate, and his girlfriend in quick succession. Familial love, friendship, and love, nothing was left behind.

If it was any other child in his place, he would definitely turn dark. Even if that didn't happen, he would become dejected.

"It'll be hard dealing with this, why didn't I think of it before? I should have done something to protect that girl. Tonan, I hope you'll not fail to live up to my expectations."
