Konoha: I, Uchiha, Choose to Lie Down! Chapter 62 62: Uchiha Kai Strikes, the Hyuga in Chaos

With Observation Haki and Armant Haki in hand,

Uchiha Kai brimd with confidence.

When it ca to sneaking into the Hyuga estate,

He now felt fully prepared.

Late at night.

Darkness blanketed the land as Kai slipped out of the Uchiha compound in black garb.

On the way,

He counted more than twenty masked Anbu lurking around his clan's territory.

"Heh, who would've thought?"

"The Third War's not even over, and the Hokage faction already guards against the Uchiha this heavily."

But he quickly shook it off.

Expected.

Nothing to be surprised about.

As long as it didn't interfere with his life of lying flat, why care?

His Mangekyo shimred faintly. Even without illusions as his specialty, Anbu wouldn't notice him if he didn't want them to.

Fifteen minutes later, Kai arrived at the Hyuga compound.

At once, he expanded his Observation Haki.

In his perception, over thirty Byakugan signatures lit up—at least ten more than last ti.

He exhaled.

Lucky he hadn't rushed in earlier, or he'd surely have been caught.

But seriously—

Were the Hyuga insane?

This was just the outer periter, and already so many hidden sentries.

What about the inner compound? Utter madness.

Kai could only conclude the clan suffered collective paranoia.

Konoha already had Anbu, sealing squads, and the Uchiha Police. Wasn't that enough security?

And this was just over Byakugan eyes? Worth sothing, sure, but still…

All of it made the original story's "Hinata kidnapping incident" look laughable.

Hyuga surveillance this airtight, and yet one random Cloud ninja waltzes in and kidnaps an heiress?

If Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo's Root weren't complicit, even dogs wouldn't believe it.

Kai rolled his eyes in the dark, then carefully slipped past the sentries one by one.

If cornered, he'd simply kill them.

Originally, he had thought of dumping the bla on the Cloud.

But after chatting with Nara Kazama, he realized—

The more sches, the more mistakes.

Better to just charge in, kill at random, and leave fewer clues behind.

So he decided—

straightforward murder.

Worst case, kill so Hyuga main family mbers and dig out their Byakugan.

Plenty of factions across the ninja world coveted those eyes.

Let them chase phantoms.

Half an hour later, Kai infiltrated the Hyuga's inner estate.

No hesitation.

Silent entry.

Silent kills.

Silent harvesting of eyes.

The routine flowed smooth as water.

After several households, he finally reached the residence of Hyuga Motoichi—the one who had tornted Hyuga Aya.

"Wh–who are you?!"

Motoichi froze, mid-act in a "ga" with several branch family girls, when Kai burst in.

Terror twisted his face.

But Kai gave him no chance to speak further.

Talkative villains died early—he knew that rule.

One clean slash, head rolling.

Eyes gouged out with practiced precision.

Then he dispatched the unfortunate branch girls as well, leaving no witnesses before strolling away.

"Don't bla ."

"Hate follows debt—this is for my own survival."

"Better release than your suffering lives. Take it as rcy."

"If you must curse, curse fate. I don't have the strength to save you."

His voice was low, almost solemn, as he walked out.

Even after all these years in this world, Kai still kept a sliver of softness in his heart.

He had never killed indiscriminately.

Only enemies who threatened him—or those who endangered his safety—ever died by his hand.

Most tis, he simply watched coldly from the side.

But tonight, he broke that rule.

These pitiable branch mbers hadn't needed to die.

Yet after such bloodshed, Konoha would inevitably investigate.

If anyone had seen his face, they would have died. Their mories are destroyed.

Even in black garb, he couldn't risk it.

His strength was still too low.

Yes, Mangekyo awakened, even strong enough to stand against Kage.

But Konoha housed not one Kage-class fighter—at least five.

Plus dozens of elite Jounin, hundreds of Jounin, and countless others.

For now, Uchiha Kai had special freedoms—even the Hokage couldn't easily order him around.

But those privileges only worked within the ga's rules.

He lacked the power to break them, much less rewrite them.

Only soone like Pain could.

Two hours later.

Kai returned ho safe and sound.

He burned his black garb with Fire Style, changed into sleepwear, and yawned.

"Perfect. Flawless execution."

"Even Nara Shikaku couldn't sniff out a trace."

"Aya's problem—gone."

"Free at last. What a relief."

"Ti to celebrate… by sleeping well."

A smile curved his lips as he whistled through his nightly wash-up.

Then, thanks to the system, with no need to train further, he simply collapsed into bed.

Soft. Relaxing. Comfortable.

But while Kai drifted into sweet dreams, the Hyuga estate erupted in chaos.

Yes.

No one had seen him.

But with so many corpses piled up, the coppery stench of blood was overwhelming.

Patrolling clansn quickly discovered the slaughter and raised the alarm.

Hyuga Hiashi, about to retire for the night, rushed to the scene and imdiately mobilized the entire clan for a massive search.

The uproar even reached Sarutobi Hiruzen.
