Whether it is a sheep entering a tiger's den
or a tiger entering a flock of sheep—
Depends entirely on strength.
To the Hokage and ANBU—
Qianyu was a tiger stripped of fangs and claws.
To Qianyu—
This place was paradise.
For someone who loathed evil,
entering Konoha's prison was like a starving man walking into a banquet hall.
Outside, ANBU sneered.
Inside the darkness, the criminals' eyes glowed with bloodlust.
They had been told:
Qianyu was a Leaf ninja.
An Uchiha.
A former police officer.
The perfect target.
Some seals were even partially loosened for them.
An ANBU said coldly:
"Begin."
But Jianping stopped him.
"Not yet. It's daytime.
Someone may come."
"Wait until night."
The prisoners snarled but obeyed.
Jianping nodded.
"Let's go."
"Uchiha Qianyu—
see you tomorrow."
"If you live to see the sun."
They left.
Only Qianyu remained.
He closed his eyes.
A minuscule strand of chakra moved—
Like shifting a grain of sand.
Crack.
The seals collapsed.
The lion broke free.
He waited.
At Konoha Hospital—
Fugaku visited Aoki and Yamafū.
Aoki still hadn't awakened.
Yamafū already knew something terrible had happened.
"Clan Head… the captain—"
Fugaku placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Rest. I'll handle Qianyu."
Yamafū understood.
"Aoki…?"
"It depends on his will to live."
Fugaku looked at the unconscious youth.
"He will wake up."
Then—
Knocking.
Three figures entered.
Hatake Kakashi.
Yamanaka Inoichi.
Morino Ibiki.
Fugaku's eyes narrowed.
ANBU. Intelligence. Interrogation.
The full trio.
Kakashi spoke:
"We must begin the investigation immediately."
Fugaku nodded.
"Take Yamafū. But—
yashiro must be present."
After brief hesitation—
Agreed.
Yamafū stood tall.
"I'll clear our names.
For Aoki. For the captain."
They left.
Yakumi whispered:
"Clan Head… Qianyu—"
Fugaku raised his hand.
"Guard the hospital."
"I'm going to the prison."
The lion had been caged.
But the night was coming.
And when it did—
Blood would flow.
