Naruto: Dual-Pupil Uchiha-Chapter 566 - 565 : Died With One Word!!

The monkey mask?

A small figure with black flames covering his eyes!

Powerful, skilled in genjutsu, and terrifying in strength.

The Root commander’s mind began racing as he recalled the appearance of the "Konoha assassin" that Danzo once described to him. He quickly reached a conclusion.

A monkey mask—wasn’t Genya wearing one right now? A short figure... back then, Genya had simply been young, so of course he was small. He wasn’t a "dwarf" like Danzo had called him. He had just been a child.

As for the black flames covering the eyes— Genya’s eyes were far too recognizable.

Anyone who saw them would instantly know who he was. If he didn’t hide his eyes with black flames, he would have to kill everyone who saw him.

This also explained why the Konoha assassin only targeted the Sarutobi, Shimura, and the other clans of the so‑called "Konoha Council." The Sarutobi clan had always been at odds with the Uchiha. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Killing Sarutobi clansmen was perfectly reasonable!

Everything pointed to one truth—Genya was the former Konoha assassin.

Even the Root shinobi trapped under genjutsu suddenly understood. When they looked at Genya, there was now fear and respect in their eyes.

A few years ago, Genya had still been a child, yet he had single‑handedly blocked Konoha’s forces and massacred the Sarutobi and Shimura shinobi.

Even Danzo had been tormented to the point of losing his temper.

Who would have imagined that the Konoha assassin back then was just a kid?

"Heh... I didn’t expect you to be so dull at first, but now you’ve gotten smarter." Genya listened to the Root commander’s explanation and couldn’t help but look at him differently.

"How should I reward you? Maybe I should let you die first. At least you won’t have to watch your comrades die."

This guy’s sharpness and quick reactions truly exceeded Genya’s expectations.

Maybe people really do get smarter when they’re about to die.

Kill him? Kill him first?

Genya’s words echoed endlessly in the Root commander’s mind. The spark of triumph he had felt after exposing Genya’s identity instantly vanished, replaced by despair. "No—you can’t kill me."

"And why not?" Uchiha Genya asked, watching him struggle, his tone playful.

The Root commander quickly blurted out, "I’ve followed Danzo for a long time. I know his secrets. I can tell you—"

"No, I can take you to see them!"

He had planned to resist, but in the end, he begged for his life.

Compared to dying, he wanted to live.

"Heh... do you really think I’d believe the words of someone whose tongue has been sealed by a forbidden curse seal?" Genya looked at the desperate figure before him, a faint smirk curling at the corner of his lips.

Not to mention,

That Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal completely stopped him from revealing any secrets. As for taking him to see for himself—didn’t he already know he could?

"You..." the Root commander felt helpless. Genya was right—there were things they simply could not speak aloud.

"Go kill him!"

Under the Root commander’s shocked and horrified gaze, Genya’s eyes shifted to the Root ninja he controlled, and he spoke slowly.

All eyes followed, and the controlled ninja turned in unison to face their former captain.

Each drew their blade, stepping toward the Root commander. He tried to resist, to struggle, knowing that if he died, their turn would come next.

But no matter how he struggled, he was powerless.

"Sorry, boss!"

"Sorry!"

"Sorry..."

The words barely left their lips, but their hands did not stop—they slowly raised their weapons.

Puk puk puk puk...

Under the Root commander’s terrified gaze, all of them drove their blades into his body.

He went limp, slowly lowering his head. The genjutsu left him unable to scream. Blood poured from his wounds, and his expression turned vacant. With effort, he lifted his head to Genya.

"Uchiha Genya... you will be punished. It won’t be long before your clan is destroyed!"

"I’ll be waiting to meet you again in the Pure Land!"

"I’ll be waiting for you!"

Even in his final moments, his face twisted with rage and madness. He thought of Danzo Shimura’s plan: once it succeeded, the Uchiha were doomed. No one could withstand the resurrected First Hokage and the others.

"Heh. Even if we meet again, it will be between you, Danzo, and Hiruzen Sarutobi. I won’t see you!" Genya watched the Root ninja speak his final desperate words, his lips curling in a calm, cold smile. "Besides... the place you’re going isn’t the Pure Land. It’s Hell."

Watching the Root commander fall, Genya turned to the others.

"Commit suicide yourselves."

At Genya’s words, fear finally flashed across the faces of the controlled ninja. They begged for mercy, but Genya ignored them, stepping past and heading toward the Root headquarters.

As Genya finished speaking, they raised the blades in their hands with terrified eyes.

Without any hesitation, their hands moved, stabbing directly into their own hearts.

Pfft, pfft, pfft.

Blood splattered as they all fell to the ground at the same time, still flowing out. Even in their final moments, they did not free themselves from the control.

"What a terrifying ability... just by speaking, these people kill themselves?" Kakashi looked at the fallen bodies, his eyes still reflecting light and shadow.

This power was too frightening.

Though his mind was filled with awe, he didn’t dwell on it for long. He hurried after Genya, following his back.

Leaving behind a floor covered in corpses and an endless flow of blood.

The main building of the Root branch, though more like a small two-story building than a real tower, revealed through the Sharingan that beneath it was a large laboratory.

However, this was only a Root sub-branch. The true Root base was elsewhere.

As Genya entered, he found a bright, open space with no guards. Perhaps Danzo had assumed someone was protecting it outside; no one could enter freely.

After all, it was close to the Sarutobi Police Force. Any disturbance would be sensed, and reinforcements would arrive.

At the same time, Danzo had been overconfident, believing no one in Konoha would dare trespass into the Root base.

Scanning the area, Genya found the entrance and kicked open the door to the basement, stepping inside.

Inside was a dim space. Going further down revealed people trapped in nutrient tanks under dim light. Some seemed alive, while those already experimented on had become vegetative.

As Genya entered, the white-coated figures were initially shocked by the violent doorbreaking, but quickly recovered.

Genya wore a monkey mask, his eyes hidden in the dim light.

They instinctively assumed he was a Root member.

One of the white-coated people looked at him and asked, "What was all that noise outside just now?"
