Konoha Hypocrite

Chapter 27: Real Dreamland, Overwriting Memory

The sky had darkened. Uchiha Mina felt out of form today. She would space out during the training session with Uchiha Tonan, often missing out on his pointers.

“Mina, if you feel unwell, you should go back and rest,” Tonan patted her shoulder, pulling her back to reality.

“I’m sorry, Tonan-kun. Perhaps, it’s because I didn’t sleep very well last night,” Mina apologized.

Tonan soothingly stroked Mina’s hair and said, “Let’s end for today, then. You go back home. I’ve something to do today, so I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Mina nodded and listlessly walked towards her house. However, as soon as she stepped home, she saw her kitten had died tragically in the courtyard. And there was a note on the ground that had the location of the waterfall written on it.

That emotional outburst triggered Mina’s one tomoe Sharingan. She threw the note on the ground and bolted out as if she had gone crazy.

In the dead of the night, Mina ran through the forest and soon arrived not far from the waterfall. Suddenly, she stopped and hid in the cover of the dense forest.

She saw Hyuga Chiryo come out of the water, stark naked, walk up to Tonan, and tightly hug his back.

“Tonan-kun, I like you.”

Mina, who was hiding in the darkness, burned with anger. She gritted her teeth and muttered, “This bitch.”

“I’m sorry, Chiryo, I know you like me but I’ve always thought of you as a younger sister. Moreover, I’ve someone in my heart already.”

Tonan’s firm voice resounded in the night.

“Who!? Who do you like?”

“I’ve always liked Mina. My heart is completely taken by her and cannot hold anyone else.”

Seeing Tonan resolutely reject Chiryo, Mina’s anger instantly dissipated, and she felt sweet in her heart.

“Why? What’s there to like about her? Where don’t I measure up? Tonan-kun, don’t leave, you can do whatever you like with me,” Chiryo roared hysterically.

“Chiryo, please conduct yourself with some dignity,” Tonan pried open her hand and left without looking back.

Chiryo fell to the ground and cried as he walked away. Mina watched her for about ten minutes before she quietly walked out from the forest and came behind her.

“This bitch not only killed Yuki-chan but also wanted to seduce Tonan-kun with her beauty. Kill her!”

“Kill her!”

The devil’s voice rang in Mina’s head and she subconsciously raised a kunai. Chiryo seemed too deep in her sorrow to notice the movement behind her.

Swish

The kunai sliced through Chiryo’s neck, and her head was cut off. Only then did Mina come to her senses and looked at the blood-bathed kunai in horror.

“I killed someone! What should I do now… If anyone finds out, I’ll be sentenced to death.”

Mina staggered a few steps and regret filled her heart. She turned around and ran towards Konoha. But just after two steps, she stopped, her face distorted with a hint of ferociousness.

A voice whispered in her mind.

The Yamanaka clan can examine the deceased’s memories.

Mina turned around. Staring at the severed head with her bright red Sharingan, she began to form hand seals.

“Fire Style – Great Fireball Technique.”

Mina, who had never released a Great Fireball before, successfully did so. The huge fireball hit its target, burning Chiryo’s head in an instant. After doing this, Mina was unwilling to stay for another second and ran towards Konoha.

At the intersection before entering the village though, she bumped into Tonan. He was walking towards the village by himself. Surprised to see her here, he asked, “Mina, how come you’re here?”

Mina forced herself to calm down and replied with a smile, “I couldn’t sleep, so I came out for a walk.”

Taking her word for it, Tonan nodded and said, “It’s too late. It’s not safe for a girl to walk alone. Let me walk you home.”

He took her hand in his and they walked together towards Konoha. They silently passed through several quiet streets, not saying anything through the way.

Suddenly, Tonan opened his mouth and said, “Mina, actually, I… I like you. Will you go out with me?”

“Tonan-kun… I…” Mina was hesitant. Had it been earlier today, she would have accepted it eagerly. But at this moment, her heart was in chaos, and she had no interest in dating. When all was said and done, her hands were stained with a person’s life.

“Tonan-kun, I want to tell you something.” Mina stared at Tonan in front of her.

“Tell me.”

“I…, I killed Chiryo right now. It was on the spur of the moment. You’ve to believe me! Do you think the village will sentence me to death?”

Mina became increasingly agitated as she spoke, and tears filled her eyes.

Tonan was shocked. It took him a long time to collect himself. He then solemnly said, “As your boyfriend, I will definitely protect you. I’m sure this matter would be found out. Tomorrow, I’ll go and confess to Hokage-sama, and beg him to be lenient.”

“But…”

“Calm down!” Tonan’s voice was deep. He then took a deep breath and softly said, “Listen to me Mina, you don’t need to worry about this. I love you.”

He kissed Mina’s forehead and then knocked her unconscious.

………

In Mina’s room, Tonan’s forehead was full of sweat, and he was exhausted. Closing his eyes and opening again, he deactivated his Sharingan. He took the note, that Mina was firmly holding on to, and left the room.

Coming to the dead kitten in the courtyard, he placed the note next to it. As for the original note that was on the ground, he took it away.

With the scapegoat arranged, everything was set. Taking a final look, like a ghost in the darkness, he leaped away from the courtyard and rushed home.

When he saw Mina in the forest, he had already hatched this plan.

First, he made Mina eat mushrooms containing neurotoxins that impacted the nervous system making people lose recent memories. Although Tonan also ate them, he had eaten the green mushroom, which had detoxifying properties, before that.

To ensure the neurotoxin had the greatest effect and would smoothly erase her memories, he also destroyed her spiritual power using genjutsu continuously.

Immediately afterward, he created an illusion domain, making everything she experienced in the illusion overwrite her real memories.

The final step was to replace the evidence. He guessed that for such a minor matter with irrefutable proof, Konoha’s higher-ups wouldn’t send very professional personnel to investigate.

If there was truly some oversight, then flaws would appear. At that time, he could only hope that Sarutobi Hiruzen would override all objections and protect him.

He had used too much chakra and spiritual power to construct an illusion domain for Mina earlier. Therefore, he went straight to sleep after he returned home.

Tomorrow, he had to put on a good show.
