When the Third Hokage and Danzo were about to attack the Uchiha clan, Sakuya smiled and blew up the Hokage Rock with one punch!

Sakuya: “From today on, I will stand in the sky!”

Namikaze Minato: “Sakuya’s Flying Thunder God is even better than mine, so why am I called Yellow Flash?”

Uchiha Madara: “In this ninja world, only Sakuya is worthy of dancing with me!”

Ohnoki: “His Susano is bigger than a mountain, not as big as Marura!”

Kukona: “Sakuya! I want the second gear vibration mode!”

Chapter 1 God-level gift pack! Intercept Kushina!
In Konoha Village, the setting sun is as red as blood, shining on the quiet yet undercurrent streets.
A disheveled figure suddenly staggered out from the shadow of a training ground. It was the young talent of the Uchiha clan – Uchiha Shisui.
His clothes were disheveled, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth, but his face was full of bitter smiles:
“Sakuya, you are such a pervert. I have never defeated you once.”
Before he finished speaking, a tall figure slowly stepped into the light. It was Uchiha Sakuya.
He had a handsome face, deep eyes, and a gentle smile on his lips, as if the fierce battle just now was just a part of his daily life.
Uchiha Sakuya smiled, his tone gentle but with a hint of teasing:
“Shisui, next time, I’ll give you a chance.”
After saying that, he patted Shisui’s shoulder gently, leaving Shisui standing there with a helpless look on his face.
On the other side, Uchiha Sakuya turned around and returned to his residence, but his heart was already immersed in another world.
In fact, he is not from this world, but a time traveler who has traveled here for several years and has a golden finger that is essential for time travelers.
The system will generate corresponding rewards based on Uchiha Sakuya’s current level, sign-in continuity, system randomness and other factors.
These rewards may include, but are not limited to, skill books, chakra potions, rare materials, special items, and ability bonuses that directly enhance strength.
In addition to daily sign-in rewards, the system also has an achievement system.
Every time you complete a specific task or reach a milestone, you will unlock the corresponding achievement and receive additional generous rewards.
Relying on the help of the system and hard training, Uchiha Sakuya has reached the strength of a jonin in just a few years.
“Host, have you completed today’s sign-in?”
“Sign in.”
Sakuya recited silently in his heart, and a layer of light curtain slowly opened. Then, a cold reminder sounded in Uchiha Sakuya’s ears!
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Navy’s Six-style Razor!”
Navy Six Styles – Shave?
Hearing these words, Uchiha Sakuya couldn’t help but feel happy. Compared to the instant body-flying technique that required the consumption of chakra, he had to say that this physical technique from the world of pirates was more to his liking!
The next moment, the air around him seemed to condense at this moment, countless battle scenes emerged in his mind, the chakra in his body subconsciously surged like a tide, and his whole body seemed to be filled with strength.
My own practice room is not very big. The sunlight coming in through the window shines on the wooden floor, casting mottled light and shadows.
He sat down gently, closed his eyes, and began to mobilize the chakra in his body. Maybe it was because of the stimulation, but Uchiha Sakuya could clearly feel that his chakra had increased a little bit again.
Just as he was about to calm down and continue practicing to improve his chakra control, another system prompt sounded abruptly:
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the ‘Shave’ of the Six Styles of the Navy. You have successfully collected all six styles of the Navy, triggering the extra reward of life return!”
Uchiha Sakuya felt ecstatic, and a warm energy flowed through his body, instantly sweeping away all the fatigue in his body!
Life Return is a truly advanced skill among the Six Styles of the Navy. It can be said that it is no exaggeration to say that it is like having a second life!
This sudden reward undoubtedly gave him another trump card.
You know, Konoha is not peaceful nowadays. Not only is it at a critical juncture of the Second Ninja World War, but there are also many assassinations and sneak attacks. Not to mention that as a member of the Uchiha clan, he has to be on guard against being attacked by the sixth brother Danzo at all times.
Just as he was immersed in the joy of his increased strength, a subtle spatial fluctuation caught his attention.
Uchiha Sakuya quickly collected his thoughts, closed his eyes and sensed. After a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly.
This chakra… doesn’t seem to belong to someone from the village?
[God-level selection system activated][Option 1: Save Kushina, stop the conspiracy of the Hidden Cloud Village, and be rewarded with a god-level gift package containing unknown powerful abilities or treasures + 100% favorability of Kushina][Option 2: Join the Hidden Cloud Village and help them capture Kushina in exchange for the forbidden technique: Impure World Reincarnation, but you will always bear the name of a traitor][Option 3: Turn a blind eye and let the situation develop to gain short-term benefits – Jonin-level chakra, but you will miss the opportunity to change your fate]Someone from the Hidden Cloud Village?
“Choose 1!”
Uchiha Sakuya’s eyes turned slightly cold, and he immediately understood this critical time point!
In the original story, the Hidden Cloud Village launched a raid in order to seize Konoha’s Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Kuyukina and tried to abduct her, but was eventually stopped by the future Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze!
This also became the key bond that eventually brought the two together.
However, according to my memory, the Cloud Hidden Village invasion in the original plot should have happened a few years later. I don’t know why it happened earlier.
“Minato… this time, it seems you’ll have to find a new wife.”
With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Uchiha Sakuya chuckled, and his figure instantly disappeared into the darkness.
Not to mention that he has a good relationship with Kushina, even if it is for the god-level gift package, Sakuya will never give in on this matter.
He has never forgotten what the future of the Uchiha clan will be like.
That’s – genocide!
In order to change such a future, I must seize every opportunity and make myself stronger quickly!

Chapter 2: Kill Kumogakure! Whitebeard Character Card! (Old Version)
As night fell, the Konoha Village was dead silent.
“I never thought that the defense of Konoha Village would be so lax!”
“Without the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Konoha will lose this war! We will be the great heroes of Kumogakure!”
“Hahahaha! This time I must go to Happy Street to have some fun!”
The ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village fled quickly and stealthily like ghosts in the night. They talked to each other with excitement on their faces. One of the ninjas had a thin figure tucked around his waist.
At this moment, Kushina’s heart was filled with fear and despair, and those hideous laughs echoed in her ears, like a sharp blade piercing her heart.
“Why is this happening…” Kushina whispered to herself, tears streaming down her face.
She clenched her fists and felt the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox in her body becoming restless, but she knew that she could not use this power at will.
Just when she was in despair, a light laugh broke the revelry of the Hidden Cloud Ninjas.
“What are you so happy about? Tell me too.”
“who?!”
The leading Kumogakure ninja was startled and couldn’t help but shout angrily.
The next moment, Uchiha Sakuya walked out from behind the tree like a ghost, strolling leisurely in the garden, his black ninja uniform rustling in the wind, his eyes full of amusement.
“A… little devil? You’re looking for death!”
Seeing the person coming, several Kumogakure ninjas couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, then let out a sinister grin and instantly surrounded Uchiha Sakuya!
At this moment, the hope in Kushina’s eyes quickly extinguished and turned into guilt towards Uchiha Sakuya!
If it weren’t for her, Uchiha Sakuya wouldn’t have fallen into such a dangerous situation!
But the scene that happened the next moment made Kushina completely dumbfounded.
clang!
A kunai made a slight sound!
Before several Kumogakure Chunins could even react, Sakuya slit their throats in an instant, as easily as cutting grass.
“Um!?”
Seeing this scene, the pupils of the Cloud Hidden Ninja couldn’t help but shrink, and then he shouted angrily, “No! This kid is weird! Attack him together!”
In an instant!
A fire suddenly appeared in the dark forest!
One ninjutsu after another was instantly directed at Uchiha Sakuya, but he seemed to be turning a blind eye!
“Since you are here, I believe you have already made up your mind!”
Sakuya said lightly, his chakra surged like a tide, and the air around him seemed to tremble.
At this moment, Sakuya’s figure seemed to turn into a stream of light, so fast that it was impossible to catch.
His hands moved as fast as lightning, and the movement of forming hand seals was almost instantaneous in the eyes of the Hidden Cloud Ninjas.
“How can it be so fast?!”
The eyes of the Cloud Hidden Ninja were full of disbelief!
Is this the fighting power that a Genin from Konoha should have? What a joke!
“Finger gun! Storm kick!”
With a low roar, Uchiha Sakuya instantly rushed into the Hidden Cloud Ninja. He seemed to be dancing on the edge of a knife, turning himself into a humanoid weapon, and every part of his body became a deadly weapon!
Those ninjutsu seemed to have eyes as they passed by Uchiha Sakuya’s body.
The battle broke out quickly and ended quickly.
As Uchiha Sakuya stomped on the head of the last Kumogakure Chunin with an expressionless face, the only one left in the arena was the leading Kumogakure Jonin.
“What kind of power is this?”
The Hidden Cloud Ninja jonin coughed up a mouthful of blood, his heart was shocked, and he spoke with his last breath.
“Dead man, there’s no need to know so much.”
Uchiha Sakuya did not answer and instantly cut off the head that was still open-eyed.
When all the enemies were knocked down, Sakuya turned around and his eyes gradually softened.
He looked at the red-haired figure shivering in the corner, and couldn’t help but feel distressed: “Kyuukina, are you okay?”
Jiu Xingna raised her head, tears still hanging on her cheeks. Although she was grateful in her heart, she could not hide the haze of fear in her eyes: “Saku…Sakuya, I…I thought I was going to die, thank you for saving me…”
“It’s all right. It’s all right.”
Sakuya whispered soothing words, reaching out and gently stroking her hair, feeling her trembling.
At this moment, the system’s prompt sounded in his mind: “Congratulations to the host for completing the task and obtaining a god-level gift package.”
A dazzling light condensed in Sakuya’s palm, then exploded and turned into an exquisite card that slowly emerged – it was the [Whitebeard Character Card].
He was slightly surprised, and then looked at the detailed description on the card:
“Whitebeard, a legendary figure in the One Piece era, is extremely powerful and possesses the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which can create vibrations and tear space. The initial fusion degree is 5%, and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit can be awakened when it reaches 50%.”
“This power!”
Sakuya’s heart was shaken, and then he was ecstatic. If he could master the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he would be able to gain an unparalleled advantage in battle. That damn Danzo would have to be beaten by him.
“I must become stronger to protect you.”
Sakuya whispered to himself, a determined light flashing in his eyes.
Just as he was immersed in his own thoughts, hurried footsteps were heard in the distance, followed by a familiar figure running towards him. It was Minato who had just arrived.
Minato’s face was filled with anxiety, and he looked around. When he saw Sakuya and Kushina together, his heart tightened: “Are you okay?!”
However, in Minato’s eyes, the black ninja uniform on Sakuya was very similar to the outfit of the Kumogakure ninja. He suddenly had a misunderstanding in his mind, and he had already formed a seal with his hand, ready to attack:
“How dare you, a Kumogakure ninja, hurt Kushina! Stop it!”
“Minato, wait a minute!” Before Kushina could explain, Minato’s attack had already hit Uchiha Sakuya. The chakra fluctuations suddenly filled the air and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Bang!
But the next moment, with a loud bang, Minato Namikaze flew backwards at an extremely fast speed, and he was completely stunned!

Chapter 3: Diamond Body! Beating Minato! (Old Version)
What’s going on?
I was…knocked away?!
But the next moment, he quickly regained his composure, he quickly formed a seal, and his figure disappeared in a flash, and shurikens attacked Sakuya.
Sakuya chuckled and quickly moved sideways. The soil under his feet flew up due to his speed, like a hurricane torn out.
The combat experience given by Whitebeard emerged like a tide at this moment. He easily avoided Minato’s attacks while strolling in the garden, as if this battle was just an elegant dance.
Now, in Sakuya’s eyes, Minato’s movements seemed like slow motion.
“This guy… can actually avoid my attack so easily?”
Minato was shocked, he had never seen such swift skills before, and he felt more wary of the “Hidden Cloud Ninja” in front of him.
Seeing that Minato was unable to catch up with him, Sakuya did not stop his movements. Like a streak of light, his fist pointed directly at Minato’s face. There seemed to be a sharp sonic boom in the air, forcing Minato to temporarily avoid the attack.
“Where on earth did this guy come from?” Minato thought to himself.
However, Sakuya would not give his opponent too much time to think.
He seized Minato’s momentary weakness and launched a powerful counterattack.
Seeing this, Minato’s eyes flashed and he quickly dodged to the side. However, the punch hit the kunai he used to block with incredible force. But what he didn’t expect was that the next moment, the kunai in his hand was directly shattered into countless pieces!
A strange resonance came from the person in front of him, and he felt so uncomfortable that he almost vomited blood!
“Well!”
Minato groaned as his entire body was knocked back, with surprise and pain intertwined on his face. He didn’t expect that the person in front of him was so powerful that even he couldn’t deal with it easily.
“Minato! Stop! Sakuya is here to save me!” Seeing this, Kushina hurriedly spoke up with anger and dissatisfaction on her face, “What are you doing!”
“Sakuya?!”
Hearing the name, Minato was slightly stunned by surprise, his face showing embarrassment. He rubbed his beaten shoulder and felt heartbroken.
He looked at Kusuna and Sakuya, and opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say.
“I’m sorry, I just wanted to protect you…” Minato’s voice was low and full of helplessness.
“Let’s go, Sakuya.” Kushina did not respond, but turned her head and said softly, turning around to leave, gently holding Sakuya in her hand, as if he was the only support in her heart.
In the Hokage Building not far away, the Third Hokage was using the telescope to spy on the battle.
He was shocked to see Sakuya’s strength.
Just then, Danzo showed up.
“Hmph, Minato is still a step late.” Danzo said.
The Third Hokage frowned slightly, “It’s not a big problem. After all, it allows the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to have a bond with the village.”
Danzo asked again: “What do you think of this Uchiha Sakuya? He was able to force Minato to retreat. It seems that Uchiha has produced a new genius. If we let them continue like this…”
Having said that, a hint of coldness inexplicably appeared in Danzo’s eyes.
The Third Hokage was silent for a moment, then said calmly: “Don’t touch him yet, he is useful. The battle front is tight, and the Hidden Cloud Village is ready to move. Now is the time to use people.”
“you mean?”
Danzo’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something. Then he seemed to react and sneered, “Well, let this Uchiha kid make some more contributions to Konoha. This will be a worthy death for him.”
On the streets of Konoha Village, Uchiha Sakuya and Kushina were walking back together, his eyes deep and complicated.
He thought back on what happened during this attack, and knew in his heart that part of his strength was already known to the Third Hokage.
However, he was not afraid. Relying on the Whitebeard template in his body, he firmly believed that even if he betrayed the village, he could still carve out a place for himself in this vast world.
Just as Shuo Ye was lost in thought, an elegant figure slowly approached on the path in the distance.
The figure gradually became clear, it was Uzumaki Mito.
Mito was wearing traditional clothes with her long hair tied up. Although her face was old, she looked dignified and elegant.
Her face was full of worry, and the wrinkles between her brows seemed to tell of her inner concerns.
The worry was obviously about Kushina’s safety. After all, Kushina was of vital importance to Konoha Village.
Mito came to Sakuya, and when she learned that Sakuya had stepped forward to protect Kushina at the critical moment, her attitude instantly became extremely kind.
The slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and his eyes showed gratitude and admiration. Mito nodded slightly and said softly:
“Sakuya, this time it’s all thanks to you. Kushina’s safety is of great significance to Konoha. I’m really glad that you can help at the critical moment.” Her voice was gentle and sincere, like a spring breeze, warming people’s hearts.
Shuo Ye nodded slightly, but a mysterious voice sounded in his heart at this moment.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the special selection reward!”
“1. Refuse the request for protection. Lone wolves don’t need love. Reward: the Art of Tooth-to-Tooth!”
“2. Agree to the request and be rewarded with A-level Ninjutsu Chidori!”
“3. Protection is not enough. If you flirt with Kuyukina in front of Uzumaki Mito, you will be rewarded with a Diamond Body! Greatly improve your physical fitness!”
Chapter 4: Development in secret! Three years of planning! (Old version)
The first option, reject the request for protection, become a lone wolf, and be rewarded with the Tetragonal Art. Sakuya shook his head secretly, although the Tetragonal Art had some power, it was not what he desired.
The second option is to agree to the request, to protect the classmates as a matter of duty, and to be rewarded with the A-level ninjutsu Chidori.
Sakuya shook his head slightly, looking down on this option as well.
Chidori is certainly a powerful A-rank ninjutsu, but it is not indispensable for him who has the Whitebeard template.
He believed that with his own strength and potential, he would be able to master more powerful ninjutsu sooner or later, so there was no need to make a promise easily for Chidori.
As for the third option, protection is not enough, he flirts with Hisayukina in front of Uzumaki Mito and is rewarded with the Diamond Body!
This option made Sakuya feel conflicted.
There is no doubt that this can greatly improve his survivability, and now that he has the Whitebeard template, he will surely grow to the Super Shadow level in the future!
There is absolutely no need for me to covet other abilities in the short term!
“Choose three!”
Finally, Sakuya made up his mind.
Mito and Kushina looked at the silent Sakuya and couldn’t help but speculate in their hearts.
Doesn’t he want to protect Kushina? Just when they were full of doubts, Sakuya suddenly made a surprising move.
He turned around suddenly and hugged Kusuna.
Hisayuki was so shocked by this sudden action that her mind went blank and her face instantly turned red like a ripe apple.
She opened her eyes wide, unable to believe what was happening before her eyes.
Shuo Ye felt the softness of the delicate body in his arms, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
He knew that this was a very bold move, but for the sake of the Eight Gates, he had to do it. He lowered his head slightly and whispered in Kuyuki’s ear: “Don’t be afraid, I will protect you.”
As Kuyukina listened to Sakuya’s firm words, the shock in her heart was gradually replaced by an inexplicable emotion. She wanted to break free, but found that she had no strength at this moment.
Uzumaki Mito was also speechless with astonishment. She never expected that Sakuya would make such a bold move. But soon, she calmed down and saw determination in Sakuya’s eyes.
Mito understood that Sakuya might want to use this method to show his determination to protect Kushina.
“Mito-sama, I promise you that I will protect Kushina.” Sakuya’s voice was firm and powerful.
Mito was slightly stunned, then smiled with relief.
Time flies like an arrow, and time passes quickly.
As Kushina stuck to Uchiha Sakuya every day, the relationship between the two began to heat up rapidly. At the same time, Uchiha Sakuya’s strength once again skyrocketed.
Although he has not awakened the Sharingan now, the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit alone is enough to defeat the jonin. Even facing a Kage-level strongman, he is able to fight.
“Tsk! Sakuya, it looks like you’ve been having a good time lately?”
Outside the house, Uchiha Shisui’s sour voice suddenly sounded.
Ever since Kushina and Sakuya got together, the time they spent training together had become shorter.
“Shisui, come in, don’t leave in a hurry.”
Uchiha Sakuya’s voice was like a low thunder, breaking the tranquility of the night.
He tilted his head slightly, and his long black hair gleamed faintly in the moonlight, like the stars in the night sky, deep and mysterious.
Shisui nodded slowly. You know, now Uchiha Sakuya is no longer an ordinary ninja, he has even made a name for himself in the entire ninja world.
Who could have thought that during the Third Ninja World War, Konoha would produce three perverted monsters?
Yellow flash—Minato Namikaze!
Instantaneous Shisui——Uchiha Shisui!
Crazy and Devilish Destruction——Uchiha Sakuya!
Among them, Uchiha Sakuya was almost on the blacklist of all ninja villages. It can even be said that in a sense, he directly ended the Third Ninja World War!
Because he… fought against ten thousand alone and buried alive nearly ten thousand Iwagakure ninjas!
Although he was beaten half to death by Ōnoki later, and some people even said that he would not live long, his existence could not be ignored.
So, the Third Ninja World War came to an abrupt end in a strange way!
“The village has recently increased its surveillance of our clan, right?”
Making a cup of tea for Shisui, Sakuya took a sip and said lightly.
Hearing this, Shisui was slightly stunned, but finally nodded, with some helplessness in his eyes.
With the fermentation of Sakuya’s horrific performance in the Third Ninja World War, there is no doubt that the Uchiha has now become a thorn in the eyes of the Third Hokage and Danzo.
Even other ordinary Uchiha clan members were targeted.
I heard that even if they want to buy some daily necessities in the village, they have to pay more than three times the price of ordinary villagers. How ridiculous.
“What do you think of the relationship between the Uchiha and the village?”
Sakuya’s question was like a hammer, hitting Shisui’s heart.
The deep gaze penetrated Shisui’s eyes, as if trying to see through his heart.
Shisui hesitated a little, and after thinking for a moment, he finally spoke: “Although there are conflicts between the two, I always believe that there must be a way for the village and the Uchiha to coexist peacefully. We all contribute to the village, shouldn’t we find a way to coexist?”
As soon as these words came out, Uchiha Sakuya smiled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his laughter. His eyes flashed with wisdom and indifference, like a knife that was polished to be sharper.
“Shisui, do you really think so?”
Sakuya’s eyes slowly became sharp, and he spoke coldly.
Chapter 5: Jiu Xingna is secretly happy! Vibration mode! (Old version)
“Too naive! Dignity is only on the edge of a knife, and peace is only within the kaleidoscope! Do you think that as long as you have a peaceful heart, you can solve all problems?”
Shisui’s heart was shaken, and scenes of fighting on the battlefield emerged in his mind, those moments when blood flowed like a river for dignity.
The bright red blood and the desperate cries seem to still linger in my ears.
He was a little confused, but then he gritted his teeth and said, “But if this is not the case, do we still have to draw our swords against our fellow villagers?”
Uchiha Sakuya raised his eyebrows slightly, the smile on his lips gradually faded, replaced by a deep thought.
His face looked particularly clear in the moonlight.
“Shisui, you always have ideals, but the reality of this world is often much more cruel than ideals.”
He paused, his voice low and magnetic,
“In this ninja world, only the strong can control their own destiny, while the weak can only be eliminated. Can the peace you speak of survive under the sword of the strong?”
Shisui’s mood became more and more complicated. Although Sakuya’s words were like a gust of wind that blew away the ideals in his heart, he was still unwilling to give up his beliefs.
He tried to calm down, his eyes firm: “I believe that the power of the strong can not only be used to conquer others, but also to protect the weak. Peace is not a sign of cowardice, but a higher level of strength.”
Sakuya’s smile finally disappeared, replaced by a serious look.
He stared at Shisui, his eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he was examining his soul.
“I admire your determination.”
Uchiha Sakuya’s voice was particularly clear in the night sky, as if adding a bit of power to the silence.
“But you have to understand that true peace requires a price. Are you ready for this?”
“Do you want to rebel?”
Shisui’s thoughts were instantly pulled back. At that moment, his pupils shrank slightly, and shadows lurking in the dark emerged in his mind. Could it be that Uchiha Sakuya, this unfathomable existence, really had such a bold idea?
“Don’t be so low-class.” Sakuya smiled coldly, his eyes flashing with disdain, “Uchiha was originally one of the founders of Konoha, how can you say he is rebelling?”
Shisui was speechless, but his heart was in turmoil.
He wanted to question, to find out more truth, but when he opened his mouth to speak, Sakuya’s voice pierced the night sky like a sword:
“Shisui, don’t ask too many questions. Rumors are spreading everywhere and the clan is in panic. What you should do is to convene a clan meeting as soon as possible to calm the situation down!”
Before he finished speaking, Uchiha Sakuya’s figure had disappeared into the night like a phantom, as if he had never existed at all.
Shisui stood there in a daze, the order to “calm this matter down” echoing in his mind, and his heart couldn’t help but palpitate.
Sakuya, what are you planning?
Looking at Sakuya’s departing back, Shisui’s heart was filled with confusion and uneasiness.
He wondered to himself, what exactly was Uchiha Sakuya going to do?
That deep and cold gaze seemed to hide an unknown secret.
The conversation just now made him feel a chill, and his doubts became stronger.
Suddenly, his heart sank, and a thought flashed through his mind – Sakuya’s disappearance just now seemed… like an illusion? He had only just discovered it now!
“Is this the true power of Sakuya?”
Shisui gritted his teeth secretly, suppressing the shock in his heart, thinking that he had to stay calm.
“No matter what, holding a clan meeting is the most important thing.”
Under this moonlight, Shisui’s gaze became firm.
He felt a sense of responsibility and mission weighing on his heart, and the future of the Uchiha clan seemed to be gradually taking shape in his hands.
He quickly walked out of the courtyard and headed towards the clan meeting hall.
“Sakuya, aren’t you going with Shisui?”
Gently holding Sakuya’s arms, Kushina looked at Sakuya who was watching Shisui walking away and spoke softly.
She knew better than anyone how much pressure Shuo Ye had been under in the past few years.
“No need.”
Sakuya stroked Kushina’s long red hair and said with a smile, “Shisui will take care of it.”
Then he seemed to have thought of something and said gently:
“Compared to this matter, has the Nine-Tails that Grandma Mito sealed in your body been making trouble these days?”
Kushina shook her head.
Not long ago, Mito came to the end of his life, and designated Kushina as the next generation of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Without Mito’s protection, Sakuya could clearly feel that the malice towards Uchiha in the village began to rapidly increase recently.
As for Kushina, there were many more gazes hidden in the shadows.
“After pretending to be a grandson for so long, it seems that it is about time to move.”
Having made up his mind, Sakuya picked up Kuxingna, and she blushed in shock. He said:
“Sakuya, what are you doing!?”
“It’s not the first time, why are you still so shy? Don’t you like the vibration mode?”
“You you you! Hate you!”
Chapter 6: Uchiha Clan Meeting! Storm is Coming! (Old Version)
On the other side, on the streets of Konoha, the night breeze blew gently along the way, bringing bursts of chilly coolness.
In the Uchiha lobby, the lights were dim and warm, reflecting the ancient Uchiha clan emblem on the wall, which was a testimony to the glory and sorrow of a family.
However, at this moment, this once prominent family was shrouded in a tense atmosphere. Everyone had a solemn look on their faces and each had their own ulterior motives.
In the upper-level meeting hall, the elders of the clan gathered together, and the atmosphere was extremely heated. Several elders accused and argued with each other, and their voices were so loud that they almost broke through the roof of the hall.
“The spread of this rumor has nothing to do with my line!” A young elder argued eagerly, his face flushed, as if he wanted to completely shirk responsibility.
“But you were the first to spread the news!” another elder retorted angrily, with dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes, as if he wanted to tear the other party apart.
“We have always been guarding the beliefs of our tribe. You shouldn’t slander us like this!” The young elder’s voice became more and more excited, and his anger made his words as sharp as a knife.
During the quarrel, Fu Yue sat quietly aside, his eyes as calm as the abyss.
His expression was calm and composed, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
He just lowered his head, holding a cup of warm tea and shaking it gently. Ripples appeared in the tea, as if he was mocking everyone’s pointless quarrel.
The great elder sat in the main seat, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, his face full of disappointment and helplessness.
His eyes glanced at Fu Yue from time to time, and he couldn’t help but feel a little dissatisfied. He thought to himself: As an important member of the clan, how could he be so indifferent? Didn’t he realize the seriousness of this crisis?
“Shut up!” The elder finally couldn’t stand it anymore, and his voice shook the whole hall like thunder. Everyone instantly fell silent, as if they were shocked by this majesty, and the air around them froze.
“The most important thing now is to find a solution, rather than blame each other.”
The Great Elder’s voice was low and firm, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, scanning everyone as if he wanted to see through the secrets in their hearts.
At this time, the elders began to whisper again, discussing their own ideas.
“We must find the source of the rumors and catch those who spread them!” A burly elder said angrily, pounding his fingers on the table, as if trying to express his inner anxiety in this way.
“Catch those who spread rumors!” another elder echoed, his indignation obvious.
The elder’s face became more gloomy as he listened to these remarks. He thought to himself: What nonsense! Can’t these elders think more carefully and come up with more constructive suggestions?
“Fu Yue, what do you think?” The Great Elder finally couldn’t help asking, with a hint of dissatisfaction and expectation in his voice.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Fu Yue, and the air suddenly became stagnant.
Fu Yue slowly raised his head, his eyes flashing with wisdom, as if he was examining the future of the entire Uchiha family.
He said softly: “No matter whether the rumor is true or false, the best way is to ignore it silently. We must be clear that this is probably a test from the village.”
Everyone looked at each other, as if thinking about his words. The Great Elder nodded, with a hint of approval in his tone: “Indeed, this is indeed a test.”
However, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, it was heartbreaking that the Uchiha had reached this point.
In this family full of intrigues and struggles, everyone’s mood is becoming increasingly heavy and they feel helpless.
Every Uchiha member felt a sense of frustration in their hearts, as if the entire family was trapped in an invisible cage.
The Great Elder nodded slightly, but a sense of loss welled up in his heart.
The Uchiha clan, once proud of their strength, now seems to have been forced into such a situation that even a normal discussion is full of temptation and suspicion.
His eyes swept across the people present, his face was a mixture of seriousness and vicissitudes, and he seemed to be thinking about some deep problem.
At this moment, the atmosphere was like solidified air.
Shisui stood quietly aside, with a look of indifference in his eyes, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
He was already used to this situation, but he couldn’t help but feel a little worried. When would his people be able to get rid of this predicament? His eyes involuntarily fell on Uchiha Sakuya, and a little doubt arose in his heart.
Uchiha Sakuya remained silent from beginning to end, but his face was surprisingly calm, like a towering mountain that would not be shaken at all no matter how strong the wind and waves outside were.
Behind Uchiha Sakuya, a group of young Uchiha members followed closely, with different expressions.
They were once Uchiha Sakuya’s subordinates, they had fought together under him, and they were filled with trust and dependence on him.
However, since Sakuya’s return, these young people have been scattered around the village, as if they had lost contact with each other.
Now, seeing Sakuya standing in front of them again, hope was rekindled in their hearts, as if the lost faith had been revived once again.
“Sakuya, what do you think?”
Suddenly, the Uchiha elder looked at Sakuya and actually took the initiative to ask him what he thought.
Feilu novel, Fei will make you look good!
Chapter 7: The position of the clan leader! I have taken it today! (Old version)
Uchiha Sakuya slowly raised his head, his eyes determined, and scanned everyone present. There were no words, but they were full of invisible power.
His eyes were like stars in the night sky, shining brightly, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.
“Great Elder, you want to know what I think?”
Sakuya’s voice was low and firm, breaking the silence in the meeting room. He stood up, and seemed to raise the temperature around him in an instant. His eyes were like knives, staring at everyone present.
“What Patriarch Fugaku said is complete bullshit. I’m not targeting Fugaku, I’m talking about everyone here, all of them!”
In an instant, everyone looked at each other, anger and shock surged like a tide.
The atmosphere was completely ignited at this moment, just like a dry firewood raging hot. Someone stood up, with angry flames flashing in his eyes, and couldn’t help but refute: “Why do you say that about us?”
“You don’t understand the current Uchiha at all!”
Another young man responded angrily, clenching his fist and pointing at Sakuya, “We have been working hard for the family, don’t we deserve your respect?”
Uchiha Sakuya smiled slightly, but there was a deep sadness in that smile.
He knew that these young people in front of him were still fighting for their family’s honor, but they had lost their direction.
“It is precisely because I care about the Uchiha that I say this.”
Sakuya’s voice sounded again, calm and firm.
“You are just standing still and can’t see the future. What we need is unity, not infighting. We can’t go on like this!”
These words were like a sharp sword, piercing everyone’s heart.
Some people fell silent, pondering every word Shuo Ye said; others were still unwilling to give in, and seemed to be planning a more intense counterattack.
And in Shisui’s heart, he felt a familiar power, which was exactly the belief and ideal that he and Sakuya had once pursued together.
Where will the future of Uchiha go?
At this moment, a figure suddenly stood up beside Fu Yue. It was his supporter Uchiha Tiehuo!
“Sakuya! Who allowed you to speak so brazenly here? Insulting the clan leader, do you want to be punished?!”
Tiehuo was burning with rage, he stood up, emitting a strong fighting spirit, his fists clenched, muscles bulging, as if ready to release a powerful force at any time.
“Apologize to the Patriarch!”
He shouted coldly and threw a punch suddenly. The air at this moment was oppressed and hissing, and the wind from his fist was surging.
However, Tiehuo’s confidence came to an abrupt end in the next second.
Just as his fist was about to hit the target, Fugaku’s roar sounded like thunder: “Iron Fire! What are you doing!”
That angry shout instantly woke Tiehuo up.
Tiehuo’s body suddenly shook, and a trace of uneasiness emerged in his heart. Then he was shocked to find that his attack was actually directed at Fugaku! ?
There was a mixture of fear and disbelief in his eyes, as if he was poured with ice-cold water and all the strength in his body was instantly drained away.
“Patriarch?! How could you, me, do that?”
Tiehuo asked stutteringly, the shock on his face could no longer be concealed, and the regret in his heart surged like a tide.
He wanted to retract his fist, but found that everything around him seemed to become blurred and gradually spun, making it difficult to make sense of the situation.
“It’s ridiculous that such a low-level mistake could happen.”
Sakuya’s voice was like the sound of contemptuous wind, revealing a hint of disdain, as if he was looking at a trapped insect.
He smiled slightly, his brows were calm and his eyes flowed like water, carrying a bit of profound wisdom and unparalleled coldness.
“When did you think you could fight me, Ironfire?”
Sakuya’s voice was gentle but harsh, as if it carried a magical power that made people’s hearts palpitate. Everyone around him stared with wide eyes, watching this scene, their hearts filled with shock and confusion.
“He…he can actually use illusion?”
Someone whispered, the sound extremely harsh in the quiet air.
As members of the Uchiha clan, everyone naturally knew that Sakuya had always been famous for his physical skills, but at this moment he displayed such a high level of attainment in illusion, which was incredible.
The tension in the air gradually increased, and the atmosphere around was like rolling waves.
The members of the Uchiha clan looked at each other, their hearts full of questions.
At this time, Uchiha Tiehuo’s fist was still hanging in the air, like a meteor about to fall, but his heart was already turbulent and unable to calm down.
Fugaku’s gaze was focused, as if he could see through Tiehuo’s inner struggle.
His voice was deep and dignified: “As a member of the Uchiha clan, you must not lose your mind because of a momentary impulse. Sakuya is not an opponent you can easily provoke.”
On the surface, he seemed to be hammering iron, but in fact he was satirizing Sakuya for being narrow-minded and blindly arrogant.
At this moment, Sakuya waved his hand lightly, as if sweeping away the tension in the air, revealing a faint smile:
“Please think about this carefully. The Uchiha heritage is not only about martial arts, but also about courage!”
He took a step forward slowly, looking calm, as if he was showing everyone a magnificent feast that was about to begin.
“Next, you will see a brand new Uchiha in my hands.”
Chapter 8 Fugaku! You are the traitor of Uchiha! (Old version)
“You’re talking nonsense! The future of Uchiha doesn’t need you to show it! I’m the clan leader!”
Fugaku was furious, the veins on his forehead bulged and the flame of anger burned in his heart.
Each of his subordinates was a special jonin who had experienced many battles. However, at this moment, they were like paper dolls. They were killed instantly by Uchiha Genkyō in one move and were completely unable to resist.
“You guys are becoming more and more ridiculous!”
Uchiha Tiehuo gritted his teeth, his face gloomy, the anger and unwillingness towards Xuan Jing in his heart were intertwined, almost tearing him apart.
At this moment, Uchiha Sakuya smiled slightly, a smile with a hint of indifference, as if he had already expected all this.
Behind him, Uchiha Xuan Jing stepped forward, his eyes as sharp as torches, revealing an awe-inspiring confidence and determination.
“Fugaku, today is not a fight between you and me, but your betrayal and denial of the Uchiha.”
Xuan Jing’s voice was cold and clear, like a sharp blade piercing Fugaku’s heart.
Those young Uchiha elites are all sharp swords in battle, exuding a firm fighting spirit.
Under Sakuya’s leadership, they had brushed shoulders with death and experienced countless life and death tests, and their destinies had long been tied together.
At this moment, seeing Xuan Jing take action, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of courage rising in their hearts, as if this power could shake the heaven and earth.
“Take him down!”
Driven by fear and anger, several jonin under Fugaku rushed towards Xuan Jing, but their speed seemed to slow down in Xuan Jing’s eyes.
He was like a nimble cheetah, his body disappeared in an instant, followed by several dazzling flashes, like a meteor across the night sky.
There was a dull “pop” sound, and the body of a special jonin flew out like a kite with a broken string. He fell heavily to the ground, blood spurting out, his face full of fear and unwillingness.
Xuan Jing’s figure flashed through the air like a white lightning, and quickly disappeared from their sight. Then the screams of another senior ninja were heard.
“You…you actually dare to kill someone?”
Fugaku’s voice yelled, a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
He couldn’t believe that the young man in front of him could easily kill his men in seconds. Even he himself felt a sense of suffocation.
“You have disregarded the dignity of the Uchiha people,” Sakuya walked forward slowly, his voice low and firm, “Today, I will let you understand the true enlightenment.”
There was a crazy light in Fugaku’s eyes, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
“We are willing to fight for the future of Uchiha!”
The sound of the mysterious mirror sounded like a war drum.
At this moment, the tension in the air reached its peak, and the battle horn seemed to have been blown in the next moment.
In the Uchiha Hall, the air seemed to freeze and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
“That’s enough! Do you really want to kill each other?”
The Great Elder’s eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s and he spoke suddenly.
Seeing this scene, Xuan Jing paused, looked at Shuo Ye calmly, and when he saw him nod slightly, he retreated.
The Great Elder stared at Xuan Jing’s retreat, feeling somewhat helpless in his heart.
He tilted his head slightly and glanced at Uchiha Sakuya, feeling a sense of awe in his heart.
After the end of the Third Ninja World War, no one dared to look down on Uchiha Sakuya anymore.
He just stood there, as if he had an invisible pressure that permeated the entire lobby, making everyone present feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
Sakuya stood up slowly, his slender figure looked particularly elegant in the candlelight, but his aura seemed to drown everything around him in darkness.
Everyone held their breath and stared at him closely, feeling awe and fear in their hearts involuntarily.
“What are you going to do?”
Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Fu Yue said in a deep voice.
“revolution.”
There was a hint of coldness in Shuo Ye’s voice, like the chill of autumn wind, piercing and clear.
In an instant, the hall became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone looked at each other, their expressions becoming more and more horrified – this topic, being brought up here at this sensitive moment, did it mean some kind of irreversible situation?
“How can we talk about this here?” Someone murmured in a low voice, feeling uneasy. “What if there are spies from Konoha here?”
However, at this critical moment, Xuan Jing snorted coldly, his eyes swept across everyone like a knife, and said coldly:
“Don’t worry, we have already cleared out all the spies in Konoha!”
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked, and unbelievable images emerged in their minds – Uchiha Sakuya was so meticulous that he could even see through Konoha’s spies one by one?
Fugaku remained silent at this time, his brows furrowed and his expression complicated.
Uchiha Sakuya looked at him, and his disappointment with the clan leader deepened.
Fugaku, don’t you really understand?
I gave you the opportunity, but you didn’t make any use of it.
Chapter 9: The Eternal Kaleidoscope Opens! Force Fugaku to Abdicate! (Old Version)
“Fugaku, why has the Uchiha fallen to this point? Hated by people and ghosts?” Sakuya’s voice sounded again, striking the heart.
“Of course it’s because the village is targeting me, and others are wary of my Sharingan…” Fugaku frowned and finally spoke, his voice full of helplessness and resentment, but Sakuya interrupted him mercilessly.
“All wrong!”
Sakuya’s voice exploded like thunder, shaking everyone’s hearts, as if the entire Uchiha Hall was shaking with his roar.
He walked forward slowly, his aura sweeping over like a tide, forcing everyone to take a step back.
“The real reason is that it is because of your decision, Uchiha Fugaku, that the Uchiha is heading for decline!”
These words were like a loud slap in Fugaku’s face.
A huge wave rose in his heart, filled with anger and unwillingness.
Sakuya’s gaze was as sharp as a torch, staring straight at Fugaku, his eyes full of indifference.
Even now, Fugaku still doesn’t understand that in this turbulent era, resistance is the only way for the Uchiha to rise again.
“You are the clan leader, Fugaku.”
Sakuya’s voice was cold, but still firm, “If even you are cowardly and won’t move forward, how can the Uchiha have any way out?”
Everyone sat in the conference room, the air was like a suppressed flame, filled with tension and confrontation.
There was a hint of anger on Fugaku’s face, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he was silently fighting the rage in his heart.
He tried to use reason to convince the people around him: “You can’t look at me so biasedly! I was also thinking about the safety of Konoha at that time!”
Uchiha Sakuya glanced at him with a sarcastic sneer on his face, but his eyes were flashing with elusive emotions.
He spoke slowly, his voice like a gentle breeze, making everyone present hold their breath:
“There are so many doubts about White Fang’s death, why did I, the Uchiha, remain silent?”
His words were like a hammer, hitting Fugaku directly in the heart.
“Because… because Uchiha was also considered a suspect at the time!”
Fugaku gritted his teeth and argued, his voice trembling slightly, “I was surrounded by the Third-Kai’s Anbu, I couldn’t do anything!”
Shuo Ye smiled coldly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes:
“If that’s the case, isn’t this a good opportunity to clear your name? You clearly have the ability, but you chose to remain silent. It is because of your weakness that the Uchiha clan and the villagers of Konoha have once again split!”
Everyone present fell silent, and whispers began to spread.
At this moment, it was as if time had frozen in this instant, and everyone’s mind recollected what Sakuya had said, which pierced into everyone’s heart like a needle.
“But the current Uchiha is powerless to fight against Konoha!”
Fugaku’s voice became more and more urgent, and he tried to gain support with these words, “I do this to preserve my manpower!”
“Save the living force?”
Sakuya slowly stepped back, his eyes as sharp as a knife, with a hint of sarcasm, “You took one step back, two steps back, can you really preserve the dignity and power of the Uchiha in the end? Now anyone dares to shit on the Uchiha’s head, is this the future you want?”
His words were like a sharp knife, piercing everyone’s heart. Cold sweat began to seep out of Fugaku’s forehead, and the people around him whispered, realizing that what Sakuya said was indeed very sharp.
The Uchiha clan’s current situation is more than just powerless. They are completely isolated and helpless, and even their last dignity has been ruthlessly stripped away.
“The management of the Konoha Police Department is a mess. It has only a name but no real power! Now, are there any members of my Uchiha clan in the Konoha high-level officials?”
Sakuya’s voice was like thunder, shaking everyone’s heart.
His questioning silenced everyone present again, and they realized that the Uchiha’s predicament was not only their own disadvantage, but also the failure of the entire Konoha system.
Fugaku finally fell silent, the anger on his face gradually being replaced by powerlessness.
The atmosphere in the conference room seemed to grow heavier, and everyone was waiting for his response.
Finally, Fugaku raised his head, his eyes firm and eager, and asked: “So what are you going to do?”
Shuo Ye was slightly stunned, then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
His eyes were like the abyss, revealing an unfathomable aura, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.
He stepped forward slowly and said firmly: “Everything that is wrong must be cleansed. I will rebuild the dignity and power of the Uchiha. If Konoha still ignores us, then we will make the entire village pay the price!”
At this moment, the air in the conference room seemed to be completely ignited, and a wave of excitement arose in everyone’s hearts.
“What Sakuya said makes sense! We can’t just sit there and wait for death!”
“The honor of the Uchiha cannot be desecrated! We have endured it for too long! I have had enough!”
Some people began to discuss in low voices, while others were infected by the resolute atmosphere.
Just when everyone was in a stalemate, a cold system prompt sounded in Uchiha Sakuya’s ears!
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the special destiny branch selection!”
“1. Kill decisively and force Fugaku to abdicate immediately and take control of the Uchiha clan. Reward: Awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.”
“2. Act prudently and reach a cooperative relationship with Fugaku. Reward: Complete set of lightning ninjutsu below S-rank!”
Chapter 10: A dog’s last gasp! We don’t need it! (Old version)
Triggered the choice again?
Uchiha Sakuya was delighted, then his eyes narrowed slightly, and the pros and cons of the two options quickly flashed through his mind.
There is no doubt about the power of the Eternal Mangekyō. If you want to awaken it on your own, you can only rely on luck. As for lightning-based ninjutsu below level S, it is just icing on the cake for you. After all, the Uchiha family’s own fire-based ninjutsu is powerful enough. In this respect, there is overlap between the two.
Moreover, the option of killing Fugaku decisively and forcing him to abdicate is like a sharp blade pointing directly at the core of power; while cooperating with Fugaku is like boiling a frog in warm water, which seems peaceful on the surface but hides huge risks.
Thinking of this, Shuo Ye no longer hesitated and responded quickly in his heart!
The next moment, Sakuya’s voice was deep and powerful, like a huge bell, shaking the entire room and impossible to ignore.
“Fugaku, you are no longer fit to be the clan leader, abdicate!”
At this moment, the tension in the air seemed to have turned into an invisible rope, tightly binding everyone present. Everyone looked at Sakuya in shock, their eyes full of disbelief and astonishment.
Even the usually gentle Uchiha Shisui couldn’t help but open his eyes wide and looked at Sakuya in astonishment.
“What are you talking about?”
“Shuo Ye, do you think you can become the clan leader in this way?”
Uchiha Fugaku frowned and spoke in a cold voice, as if he couldn’t believe what he heard.
Although he faced a lot of pressure as the clan leader, he never thought that someone would challenge him so directly.
“I made it very clear,”
Sakuya’s voice became increasingly indifferent, as if the ripples on the water surface gradually subsided, replaced by an unshakable force.
“The future of Uchiha requires a stronger leader, and you are no longer able to lead us to glory.”
Fugaku’s expression grew darker, and he could sense the strong determination emanating from Sakuya’s eyes.
“Sakuya wants to challenge Patriarch Fugaku? Is he crazy?!”
The Uchiha clan members around also began to whisper and talk, like a flying leaf swaying in the wind.
“I don’t want to say the same thing twice.”
Sakuya continued, his tone becoming more and more calm. He glanced at Fugaku and said calmly,
“If you continue like this, Fugaku, your hesitation will only lead us all to destruction!”
“You kid, do you think you can challenge the clan leader just because you have some strength?”
A young Uchiha shouted in dissatisfaction, wanting to stand up and defend Fugaku’s authority.
“Um?”
However, just as he was about to say more, a slight glance from Sakuya made him feel a strong sense of oppression, and he was instantly silent.
“Fugaku, your abdication is to save the future of the Uchiha!”
Sakuya’s words were as sharp as a knife, striking directly into Fugaku’s heart.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became like the silence before a storm, and every minute and every second in the air seemed to be frozen.
Fugaku’s expression kept changing, and his inner turmoil was clearly revealed in this tense moment.
As Sakuya persisted, Fugaku couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
He slowly averted his gaze, struggling in his heart, but his fists were clenched tightly, revealing his determination.
“Sakuya, do you think you can replace me? You don’t understand the weight of the word Uchiha!”
Fugaku said coldly, as if testing Sakuya’s bottom line.
“I will prove that the future of the Uchiha requires strength and decisiveness, not the old tradition of indecision.”
Sakuya spoke each word with great determination, as if he was paving the way for the steps he was about to take.
At this moment, all the Uchiha people were silent, and the atmosphere became more solemn.
Finally, Shisui couldn’t help but break it all up. He said, “Sakuya, is it really necessary to do this? I think what we need is unity, not infighting.”
However, Sakuya’s eyes became more determined, as if he was determined to break all this.
His voice was calm and firm:
“Instead of waiting for a passive situation, it is better to take the initiative! This is our only choice!”
“Fugaku, as the leader of the family, you should understand that if you don’t make a decision, you will suffer the consequences!”
Sakuya’s gaze was like a blade, piercing through the crowd and reaching into Uchiha Fugaku’s heart.
Fugaku looked down at the family emblem in his hand that symbolized power, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.
“How do you know if your fight to the death with the village will bring your family to the brink of ruin? At least we can still live in the village now…”
Fu Yue gritted his teeth and spoke, his confidence beginning to waver in the face of Sakuya’s strength.
“You’re right! Live like a dog!”
Sakuya stood up suddenly, and glanced around with sharp eyes.
Chapter 11: A fierce battle with Fuji! Blade your heart with the sword! (Old version)
“You have chosen to sink, or to rise up! Today, there must be a result.”
Sakuya’s voice was calm, yet sweeping like a murderous night wind.
The air around them instantly became tense, as if trembling with the power that was about to explode.
“Are you threatening me?!”
Fugaku’s expression suddenly changed as he realized that Sakuya was more determined than he thought.
All the Uchiha clan members retreated, feeling secretly uneasy.
“This is my choice, and it’s the last chance I give you, Fugaku.”
At this moment, a fire seemed to ignite in Shuo Ye’s eyes, and a powerful, invisible aura instantly burst out. The sense of oppression surged like a tide, causing the surrounding tribesmen to hold their breath in an instant.
“Make your choice, Fugaku!”
Sakuya took a step closer, his voice like a whisper from the abyss, “Do you want to leave on your own, or should I help you?”
Sakuya swept his cold eyes over the crowd; the air around them seemed to freeze in an instant, and a tense atmosphere filled every corner.
Those eyes wandered over him, as if being pulled by an invisible force, but there was no trace of fear on his face.
Following a clear cough, Sakuya spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful:
“Let’s stand in line. Those who support me should go to the left, and those who don’t support me should go to the right.”
Before he finished speaking, the crowd around him fell silent, as if time had stopped at this moment.
At this moment, Uchiha Xuanjing stood behind Sakuya without hesitation with several confidants and firmly declared his position.
The others looked at each other, hesitating. The inner confusion and fear intertwined into an invisible web that almost made them unable to move.
Following Uchiha Genkyō’s demonstration, several people gradually began to move to the left, as if they were being summoned by something. In the end, most people chose to stand on Sakuya’s side.
However, the silence of the elders was like a huge mountain, weighing on everyone’s heart.
The Great Elder frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a complex emotion, while Shisui looked hesitant, as if he wanted to move closer to Sakuya.
At this moment, Fugaku’s eyes were as sharp as a sword, instantly locking onto Shisui’s movements. He was shocked and his expression suddenly changed. He knew that if Shisui expressed support for Sakuya again, he would completely lose the opportunity to become the clan leader.
Fugaku stood up, his tone indifferent but firm: “If you want to be the clan leader, then prove it to me.”
The corners of Sakuya’s mouth slightly raised, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: “Very good, this is the demeanor that an Uchiha should have.”
He had no intention of arguing with Fugaku anymore. The smile on his face faded away, and in an instant he disappeared from everyone’s sight like a gust of wind.
Wherever they looked, there was shock. Everyone was stunned and guessed in their hearts where Sakuya had gone.
His figure gradually blurred in the air, as if it turned into countless shadows, which was dazzling.
Is this… a shadow clone?
The Great Uchiha Elder couldn’t help but be shocked. It turned out that Sakuya had been using his shadow clone to participate in the meeting, and he and others hadn’t even noticed?
Uchiha Tetsuka gritted his teeth and snorted, “To use such a method in such an occasion is really excessive. Fugaku will definitely win.”
Confidence surged among the crowd, and the atmosphere gradually turned towards Fugaku.
Soon after, everyone appeared at the martial arts arena.
“According to the clan rules of our Uchiha clan, Sakuya has been recognized by half of the clan members and is qualified to fight for the position of clan leader!”
Taking a deep breath, the Uchiha Great Elder stood on the platform and said calmly,
“Then this elder declares that the battle for the throne begins now!”
Uchiha Fugaku and Sakuya stood opposite each other, and everyone’s eyes were focused on them.
Everyone knows that this battle will determine the fate of Uchiha!
With the ringing of a crisp bell, the duel officially began.
Fugaku’s expression was stern, without the slightest hesitation, his pupils suddenly shrank, and the three-magatama Sharingan suddenly appeared, releasing a heart-pounding sense of oppression.
He quickly formed seals with both hands, and shouted in a low voice: “Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!”
In an instant, a blazing fire dragon roared towards Shuo Ye, with the flames mixed with the breath of destruction.
When everyone saw Fugaku take the first step and use the Sharingan and Fire Release Ninjutsu, most people were optimistic about Fugaku and began to discuss in a low voice.
“After all, Lord Fugaku is very experienced, and Sakuya is too young. He has lost the initiative.”
“Yes, I’m afraid the winner of this competition will be decided soon.”
However, facing such a fierce attack, Sakuya chuckled and showed no sign of panic.
His eyes also rotated the Three-magatama Sharingan, but unlike Fugaku, his eyes seemed to contain deeper wisdom and calmness.
He began to form seals with his hands and said calmly: “Water Style: Water Falls!”
Suddenly, a huge stream of water fell from the sky, like a torrent from an endless abyss, and rushed straight towards Fugaku’s flames.
Water and fire met in an instant, producing violent steam. The ensuing airflow stirred up gusts of wind, rolling up the surrounding dust and fallen leaves.
“Wow!”
The audience around couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, many people were stunned, unable to believe what they saw. Under Sakuya’s control, the water flow easily dissolved Fugaku’s fire escape, as if nothing could resist it.
Fugaku’s heart trembled, and the power of the flame was instantly dissipated, which made him look at Sakuya with admiration.
“Sure enough, the reputation is well-deserved.” He secretly exclaimed, then his face showed a trace of seriousness, and his eyes became deep and resolute, “It seems that I can’t take it lightly.”
“Come on, Sakuya, be serious!”
Fugaku said coldly, his heart tightening.
He knew that Sakuya’s true strength lay in physical skills, and at this moment, he couldn’t give his opponent any chances.
Chapter 12 Your Kaleidoscope is Too Weak! (Old Version)
Sakuya smiled slightly and shook his head, “That’s not necessary.”
His tone was relaxed, and he didn’t seem to mind Fugaku’s challenge.
“Not necessary?”
Fugaku snorted coldly, and the anger in his heart was instantly ignited.
When…has he been looked down upon like this?
“In that case… then I’ll show you the true power of the Uchiha clan!”
Fugaku took a deep breath, and the next moment, his Sharingan spun into a kaleidoscope form, and a terrifying chakra burst out instantly, shocking everyone.
“Mangekyo Sharingan?!”
“Mr. Fugaku actually opened the Mangekyō?!”
Someone murmured in shock, and even the Great Elder and Shisui were stunned, their eyes sharp with disbelief.
Fugaku’s voice sounded like thunder, with an indomitable majesty, “Sakuya, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance!”
Following his declaration, the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan was released, and the scene instantly became tense and oppressive.
Sakuya’s smile remained, but there was a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes.
That’s right… fighting only becomes more interesting if it’s like this!
“It seems that Sakuya is in danger. This child is an important fighting force for us Uchiha. No matter what, we must protect him when the time comes.”
Upon hearing this, Shisui nodded heavily. Even though he had a very high opinion of Sakuya’s strength, he couldn’t help but feel a little worried when facing Fugaku’s awakened Mangekyō Sharingan.
After all, as a ninja who also possesses the Mangekyō, he is well aware of the terrifying power contained in this eye technique.
Fugaku stood at the other end of the training ground, surrounded by an indescribable majesty.
He stared at Sakuya, a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he slowly closed his eyes, as if the whole world stopped with his movement.
Then, an invisible wave spread out from him, which was the precursor to Tsukuyomi.
“Sakuya, the illusion you showed off earlier is nothing but a worthless toy in front of me.”
Fugaku’s voice rang in Sakuya’s ears, with unquestionable arrogance, “Next, I will let you experience for yourself what a true illusion is.”
Then, he shouted coldly: “Tsukuyomi!”
In an instant, a kaleidoscope of light flashed in Fugaku’s eyes, and an invisible force burst out in an instant!
Tsukuyomi, as a high-level illusion unique to the Mangekyō Sharingan, can pull the enemy into an illusory world created by the caster, where time, space, mass, everything can be controlled at will by the caster.
In this world, the enemy will experience countless tortures and despair, while in the outside world, only a short moment will pass.
However, at this moment in the Tsukuyomi space, Sakuya’s expression was unusually calm, as if he was not frightened by the terror of Tsukuyomi.
Fugaku couldn’t help but feel a little strange. Such a reaction was completely beyond his expectations.
At this moment, Sakuya, who seemed unaffected by the situation, chuckled and spoke in a calm but firm voice: “Fugaku, when did you feel that… you were the only one who opened the Mangekyo?”
In an instant, Fugaku’s pupils shrank suddenly!
These words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly exploding in Fugaku’s heart.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and the kaleidoscope patterns in his pupils flickered violently, as if even he himself could not believe what he heard.
“You…what did you say?” Fugaku’s voice trembled a little, he couldn’t believe his ears.
Shuo Ye smiled slightly, and in that smile there was a hint of sarcasm and a sense of indifference to everything that had happened before.
“Fugaku, the power of the Mangekyo is indeed strong, but it is not invincible. Besides, I never said that I would not use it.”
As Sakuya finished speaking, his eyes slowly changed. The three magatama rotated and merged, and the power of the Sharingan quietly activated. The pattern of the kaleidoscope bloomed in his pupils, like blooming cherry blossoms, changing rapidly.
“break!”
His voice was deep and powerful, like thunder rumbling in the air.
At that moment, the light and shadows around seemed to be torn apart, and the space shattered like a mirror. The colorful fragments flickered in the sunlight, like falling stars.
Fugaku’s figure shook, and everything in front of him became blurred in an instant, making it impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion.
“This… How is it possible!?”
Fugaku’s mind was in a mess, severe pain surged like a tide, blood gushed out of his eyes, soaking his face, his hands unconsciously covered his eyes, and the power of the Sharingan backfired at this time.
He looked at Sakuya in shock, and a low sob came out of his throat, “You…you opened the Mangekyo too?!”
The audience around was instantly in an uproar, with astonishment and disbelief intertwined into a shocking wave.
“Kaleidoscope… There are actually two kaleidoscopes!” someone murmured to himself, his voice full of shock and confusion.
“Sakuya, he…how did he do that?” Some of the younger generation of the Uchiha clan members clenched their fists excitedly, with envy and awe in their eyes.
Beside the Great Elder, several elders looked at each other with serious expressions.
One of them whispered, “This child’s potential is far beyond our imagination. The Uchiha clan… may really be ushering in an unprecedented change.”
“This is impossible! When…when did Sakuya open his eyes?” Shisui’s pupils shrank, and confusion and shock flashed in his deep eyes.
Chapter 13: Half-body Susanoo! The Power of God! (Old Version)
“Sakuya! Kaleidoscope!”
There was a low murmur among the Uchiha people. Many of them covered their mouths, with surprise flashing in their eyes. They couldn’t imagine what Sakuya was carrying that he could open his Mangekyō Sharingan in such a short time!
On the other side, Fugaku’s breathing gradually became rapid, his face was pale, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, as if he was desperately enduring great pain.
“I underestimated you, Sakuya.”
He forced out a bitter smile, but he knew in his heart that the battle had just begun.
However, a question flashed through his mind: Can Sakuya really control the power of the Kaleidoscope?
“This is far from over!”
Fugaku’s eyes gradually regained their firmness, and he began to make seals with his hands, muttering in a low voice, “Let me show you my true strength! The true power of the Mangekyo, the true… power of God!”
His words were like the sound of drums, resounding in the martial arts arena and instantly creating a shocking wave of air.
boom!
As his words fell, a huge half-body Susanoo rose from his body, and brilliant light poured out, covering the entire place, and pressure swept over like a tide.
The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and Fugaku’s figure was looming in the light. He was surrounded by a huge purple skeleton, as if a real god had descended.
Uchiha Tetsuka and others felt an invisible pressure and retreated one after another with fear on their faces, knowing well the horror of this power.
“That’s too much! Fugaku actually used Susanoo in a battle like this!”
The Great Elder’s expression suddenly changed, and he couldn’t help but speak in a deep voice.
He knew the terrifying power of Susanoo better than anyone else. At this moment, Fugaku was using Susanoo in such a battle, and he was clearly using all his strength. This was no longer a sparring match, but… a real fight!
Sakuya smiled slightly, a sneer on his lips, “Fugaku, you are worthy of being like this, you are submissive to others, but you strike hard at your own people.”
“But, that’s fine.”
His voice was like petals floating in the wind, relaxed yet firm, as if he was not afraid of the oppression at all.
Fugaku clenched his teeth, his face showing anger and unwillingness.
“I must win! For the glory of the Uchiha!”
He roared, and the power of Susanoo began to surge around him, like a beast awakening, ready to tear apart anything that stood in his way.
Sakuya sneered, his eyes flashing like lightning, thinking to himself: “What a good thing for Uchiha! Then, I won’t be polite either.”
He knew that although Fugaku was powerful, he still had his own trump card. Although he had not fully mastered the ability of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Sakuya had never been a person who relied solely on the Mangekyō.
At that moment, Sakuya’s fingers lightly stroked the air, and as his thoughts surged, the air around him began to seem to vibrate slightly, as if the entire training ground was under his control.
At this time, Fugaku was analyzing Sakuya’s fighting style.
He knew in his heart that Sakuya was good at illusion and physical skills, but was indeed not good at strength.
However, the limitations of the venue gave him more confidence. In this case, he would use force to overcome cleverness and directly slash at the entire training ground, striving to succeed in one strike.
“cut!”
Fugaku roared, and as he roared, the chakra of his Mangekyō Sharingan surged wildly. He raised his hand high, and then chopped it down fiercely, like lightning tearing through the sky, heading straight towards Sakuya.
“bump!”
There was a loud bang as deafening as thunder, and the entire training ground was instantly enveloped by a shock wave of smoke and dust.
The audience couldn’t help but step back with looks of horror on their faces, as if they were caught in a storm.
Shisui and the other elders’ faces suddenly changed. They were all worried about Sakuya’s safety and thought to themselves:
“Is this kid really scared silly? Why didn’t he react at all?!”
However, in the smoke and dust, Sakuya’s figure still stood as before, his expression calm, as if everything was under his control.
His heart was calm, and the light of the Sharingan was flashing with a mysterious light at this moment, as if time had become slow and delicate in his eyes.
“Is that all?”
Sakuya’s voice was like a low hum from the abyss, clearly audible in the smoke and dust, with a strong sense of confidence and composure.
“boom!”
After the loud noise, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the light and shadow in the center of the venue gradually became clear. Sakuya still stood there with a firm expression, as if he was not affected at all.
Fugaku looked a little embarrassed, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead and fear and disbelief flashing in his expression.
“Do you think that this kind of awareness alone can lead the Uchiha into the future?”
Sakuya’s voice was indifferent, but contained the domineering power of controlling everything.
“Next, let me tell you what true power is!” As his voice fell, Sakuya’s aura became stronger and stronger, and the surrounding space seemed to be slightly distorted in front of him.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the field, their hearts filled with anticipation and anxiety.
At this moment, Shisui suddenly discovered that Uchiha Genkyō and the others were unusually calm, and did not seem to be worried about Sakuya at all.
“Senior Shisui, you don’t have to worry too much.”
Uchiha Genkyō’s voice was steady and powerful, as if he could see through the turmoil in Shisui’s heart.
“The man below is Lord Sakuya! Such a scene is nothing more than a small stumbling block for him.”
There was a fanatical light in his eyes, as if he had remembered something.
Chapter 14: Tremor-Tremor Fruit. Sky Burial! Kill Fugaku instantly! (Old version)
For Uchiha Genkyō and others, following Sakuya on the battlefield, watching him grow, and reversing the deadly situation time and time again.
The current battle is just a small scene in their eyes.
Shisui was shocked, for he then realized that almost all the younger Uchiha who followed Sakuya had an unconditional fanaticism towards Sakuya.
On the other side, Fugaku looked at the battlefield filled with smoke and dust, and he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had a sure win. He didn’t really want to kill Sakuya, but just wanted to establish his position through this battle.
So, he decided to go and see how Sakuya was doing.
At this moment, Sakuya’s voice sounded above the half-body Susanoo’s head.
“Fugaku, when did you have the illusion that you had won?”
Fugaku looked up in horror, only to see Sakuya standing in the air, like a god descending.
His eyes were cold and firm, as if everything was under his control.
“Sky Burial!”
“broken!”
The next moment, Sakuya’s voice suddenly rang out, but his figure disappeared in an instant, and suddenly appeared in front of Fugaku’s huge Susanoo!
Compared with Susanoo, Sakuya was as small as an ant, but the punch he was about to throw made Fugaku’s pupils suddenly dilate, and a strong sense of uneasiness and fear arose in his heart!
In an instant, the air in the entire training ground seemed to disappear into thin air under this punch, and the surrounding space shattered like glass, producing a tearing sonic boom.
In an instant, the thick ground was like a torn canvas, cracks spread in all directions, boulders and dust flew up, and visible cracks appeared on the huge trunk of Susanoo!
“This is impossible!”
Fugaku cried out in horror, his pupils constricted at the sight before him!
His own Susanoo was blasted apart by Sakuya’s bare hands? !
What kind of power is this?
Stop kidding!
At this moment, Sakuya was like thunder, and terrifying power burst out from his body, tearing the air apart.
“You don’t understand the meaning of power at all!”
Sakuya’s voice was like a blade, cutting through the air. Fugaku’s heart tightened under this pressure, but he was not willing to be outdone and tried his best to fight back.
However, the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit surged like a tsunami, and his consciousness was instantly submerged in darkness.
“Has this kid, Sakuya, grown to this point?”
On the other side, the Great Uchiha Elder who saw this scene murmured in a low voice, his eyes full of disbelief, but then, he seemed to have made a decision in his heart, and a gleam of surprise flashed in his eyes.
On the other side, in the Hokage Building, the Third Hokage and Danzo both vaguely sensed movement coming from afar.
The powerful chakra aura continued to impact their perception like a surging wave.
The Sandaime frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: “This kind of chakra aura? Is it from the direction of Uchiha? Send someone to see what’s going on.”
There was no expression on Danzo’s face hidden under the bandages, but a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. However, he didn’t say anything and instead walked away quickly.
As the obscure and deep chakra fluctuations from Danzo gradually dissipated into the night, the battle in the Uchiha clan’s territory had come to an end.
In the smoke and dust, Fugaku looked particularly embarrassed. His Susanoo was badly tattered, with faint traces of charred cracks visible, as if they were the only traces left after the storm, telling of the fierce battle just now.
Fugaku’s face was pale, his eyes were shocked and confused.
“I…I haven’t lost yet!”
Fugaku gritted his teeth, his strong self-esteem making him unwilling to accept the reality of failure.
He secretly adjusted his breath, trying to summon the power of Susanoo again. However, the previous attack had almost exhausted his chakra, and even his final counterattack became powerless.
“Don’t be so ugly, Fugaku.”
Just when he was about to try his best, Sakuya’s figure suddenly became clear in front of him, like a god descending, and a kaleidoscope of light flowed before his eyes.
A feeling of powerless despair suddenly surged in Fugaku’s heart. All his fighting spirit seemed to collapse at this moment, and could no longer support him to move forward.
“How could it be…I actually…”
He felt suffocated, and his eyes began to wander until he was completely engulfed by Sakuya’s brilliance.
He knew it was all over.
“The winner has been decided! The battle for the clan leader’s position! The winner is Uchiha Sakuya!”
At this moment, the voice of the Uchiha Great Elder also rang out in the field.
He looked at the pale Fugaku helplessly, and finally patted his shoulder gently.
“From today on, I will lead the Uchiha to regain their former glory.”
Sakuya’s voice sounded faintly, penetrating the last line of defense in Fugaku’s heart.
Fugaku felt bitter in his heart and looked around helplessly, seeing that those tribesmen who once trusted and followed him were now all turning to Sakuya, their eyes full of admiration and fanaticism.
“First of all, all the spies that other forces have planted in the Uchiha area must be killed.”
Sakuya spoke calmly, his eyes scanning the surroundings, making people shudder.
Are we going to take action so soon?
Fugaku’s heart was shaken as he realized Sakuya’s determination and resolve.
The glory of Uchiha will be reborn in Sakuya’s hands, but he himself has become a victim of history.
“What should I… do?”
Fugaku kept struggling in his heart, his eyes full of confusion, but this time, he could no longer find the answer.
Chapter 15: Armament Haki Training Method! Everyone Improves! (Old Version)
Was I really wrong before?
As the head of the Uchiha clan, he had put his clan first countless times, but now, facing Sakuya’s awakening, he wavered for the first time.
At this moment, Sakuya paused slightly, as if he saw through Fugaku’s inner struggle.
His eyes were calm, and he spoke calmly, “Remember, Fugaku, retreating again and again will only make the blade rust. The future we want can only be achieved by moving forward! Think about it carefully!”
Sakuya had no intention of giving up Fugaku. After all, he was also an important fighter of Uchiha, er, no, one of the members.
At this moment, a system prompt sound suddenly rang in my ears!
“[Congratulations to Sakuya for achieving a special achievement, triggering an extra reward, the Armament Haki Training Method! (Can be taught, and others’ practice can provide feedback on the host’s training speed)]”
Sakuya’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t help but feel excited.
Armament Haki, this is exactly what he needs!
Although he had the Whitebeard template, for some reason, his application of the fruit ability improved by leaps and bounds, but he was unable to make any breakthrough progress in the three-color domineering!
And now with the entire Uchiha family practicing together to give back, it will be a huge help to me!
He took a deep breath and felt the power surging in his body, as if an invisible barrier was broken in an instant, his blood and energy surged, and his strength soared.
A bright smile spread across his face as he looked towards the Uchiha next to him, his plans for the future already well thought out in his mind.
“Let’s get started. Call back the rest of our clansmen. In three days, I will show you the future path for the Uchiha clan!”
Sakuya’s voice rang out again, like the sound of a war drum, stirring the blood in the hearts of all the Uchiha people.
“Yes! Chieftain!”
The young Uchiha clan members present all stood up, their eyes burning.
At this moment, Sakuya’s figure has become a new symbol in their hearts, the hope and future of a new Uchiha family.
The atmosphere in the martial arts arena erupted like a volcano, and deafening cheers resounded through the sky.
Fugaku was standing aside, feeling all of this silently. Although he felt unwilling, he had to admit that all of this was irreversible.
He understood that his era had ended, and that Sakuya might be the one who could lead the Uchiha into a new future.
Under the setting sun in Konoha, the Hokage Building was brightly lit.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen had his back to the window, a scroll in his hand, his brows furrowed, his uneasiness clearly visible on his face.
Danzo next to him seemed even more impatient, his eyes full of ruthlessness and disdain.
“There was unrest within the Uchiha, and Sakuya… took over?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked in a low voice, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.
“Yes, this is all due to your hesitation!”
Danzo replied coldly, his voice full of blame and anger.
“The Uchiha will always be a threat to Konoha, especially with someone like Sakuya in power.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed helplessly. He knew that what Danzo said made sense, but there was nothing he could do at the moment.
“Danzo, please don’t make any moves recently. Your actions will only further intensify the conflict.”
“Hmph! Hiruzen, just stay out of this!”
Danzo snorted and turned away, leaving behind a sentence that confused Sarutobi, “I have my own way to solve this problem.”
As night fell, the atmosphere in the Uchiha Hall became solemn.
The tribe leader Shuo Ye sat on the first seat, his eyes sharp as he swept over the tribesmen present.
Uchiha Xuanjing immediately stepped forward to report, “Sir, all the hidden players have been cleared!”
“well done,”
Sakuya nodded with a satisfied smile on his face.
The Great Elder frowned, showing extreme worry.
“Sakuya, will this intensify the conflict between us and Konoha?”
The Great Elder asked worriedly.
“The chances of our rebellion succeeding are extremely low, but I am willing to take action,”
Fugaku spoke, but his tone was hesitant, as he secretly thought about how to re-establish his prestige.
Sakuya smiled lightly, a hint of disdain in his tone, “Who told you I want to rebel now?”
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
“What’s the meaning?”
Shisui couldn’t help but ask, even though he believed in Sakuya, he was still a little confused.
“If we defect at this time, the Uchiha will suffer heavy losses,”
Sakuya stood up slowly, his tone firm, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.
“After the broken Uchiha defected, they would only serve the greater good of Konoha, and how could the outside villages not be jealous of the Sharingan? Konoha has a share of the Uchiha, so why would the Uchiha flee?”
After Sakuya’s analysis, Shisui, the Great Elder and others gradually showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and felt that what Sakuya said made a lot of sense.
Fugaku felt increasingly uneasy, realizing that his position in the hearts of his clan members was in jeopardy.
“This is our village too!”
A young Uchiha suddenly shouted, his tone full of anger and pride.
“Yeah, why should we run away?”
Another tribesman echoed, and the tribesmen around him also responded, and the whole hall was filled with a little excitement.
What is Sakuya’s purpose in removing the hidden pieces?”
Chapter 16 Terrifying Dominance! A Brand New Path! (Old Version)
Shisui asked after a moment’s contemplation, his eyes filled with confusion.
“Show your attitude!”
Sakuya smiled faintly, his voice revealing unparalleled confidence, “It shows the changes of Uchiha! We must hide our edge, but also show our sword!”
In the interweaving of light and shadow, Shuo Ye’s face appeared particularly determined.
His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the surface and reach everyone’s heart.
The Great Elder nodded, obviously thinking highly of Shuo Ye’s arrangement.
He thought to himself: This young man, Sakuya, is prudent and decisive in his work, and perhaps he can really bring a glimmer of hope to the Uchiha family.
“Shuo Ye, what are you going to do next?” asked the great elder, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.
“You’ll know soon enough!”
Shuo Ye smiled slightly, with a confident arc on his lips: “Xuan Jing, follow me into the training room.”
Everyone present looked at each other, puzzled.
The village may react at any time. If Sakuya cannot come up with the next plan, the Uchiha family will fall into a passive situation.
And now, Sakuya actually brought Xuan Jing into the training room. Could it be that he was going to cram for an exam?
But given the current situation, no one dared to ask and could only wait quietly.
Until three quarters of an hour later.
The door of the training room burst open, and everyone turned their heads and stared at the door nervously.
Uchiha Xuanjing walked out slowly, with a fine layer of sweat on his face. He exuded a sense of oppression, but his eyes were flashing with shock and disbelief.
“What happened?” Everyone asked in unison, wanting to ask him what he experienced in the practice room.
Shuo Ye raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet.
He said calmly: “My next plan is to take care of Uchiha Xuanjing.”
Everyone was still confused and discussed in low voices with each other, feeling vaguely uneasy in their hearts.
Sakuya’s eyes focused, and then he continued: “Shisui, come and fight with Xuan Jing.”
This sentence was like dropping a bombshell, and all shocked eyes were focused on Shisui.
“With me?”
Shisui was also slightly stunned and a little confused.
Shisui is a well-known strong man in the Uchiha family. Although Uchiha Xuanjing’s potential should not be underestimated, fighting with Shisui almost means being killed instantly.
Shisui frowned, and although he was confused, he also understood that Sakuya’s actions must have a deeper meaning.
At this time, Uchiha Xuanjing had already walked forward with a determined look on his face.
“Lord Shisui, we’re in trouble.” Uchiha Genkyō clenched his fists, his fighting spirit high.
“All right.”
Shisui nodded and stepped forward.
Next moment!
“Fire escape! Fire Phoenix Fairy Technique!”
In an instant, the air in the entire training room seemed to be torn apart, and an invisible pressure was condensed in an instant. The two fire-style ninjutsu were almost equally matched!
“Clang!”
But then, the sound of kunai colliding exploded like thunder, and as the two figures crossed, the lightning-like attacks changed rapidly and continuously.
Shisui frowned slightly, he knew Uchiha Genkyō’s strength well, and his attack was actually blocked.
“Master Shisui, be careful!”
Suddenly, Uchiha Xuan Jing shouted coldly, and at that moment, his fist glowed with a deep black luster, as if hiding infinite power.
Shisui’s pupils suddenly shrank, and the kunai in his hand was instantly knocked away!
He leaped forward, appearing in front of Shisui in an instant, and delivered a precise punch straight to Shisui’s face.
Shisui reacted quickly and dodged to the side in an instant, but was still hit on the shoulder by Uchiha Genkyō’s attack, causing a muffled sound.
Everyone was stunned. They didn’t expect that Uchiha Genkyō would be able to force Shisui down without having the advantage, even if Shisui released Hai.
“This…” The Great Elder widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.
Everyone was also stunned. Seeing Uchiha Xuan Jing’s performance, they couldn’t help but start to re-examine him in their hearts.
“This…” The Great Elder’s voice was suppressed by astonishment, and there was a gleam of disbelief in his eyes.
“What kind of power is this?!”
Everyone looked at each other, their hearts overwhelmed by excitement and hope. The atmosphere became warm and tense in an instant.
“What are you looking at?”
Sakuya’s voice was calm, but it was filled with invisible shock. “What the Uchiha Xuanjing showed was a unique method that I practiced, called Armament Haki. It is also the foundation of practice that I am preparing for the Uchiha clan.”
His words were like a stone thrown into a tranquil lake, causing ripples.
Before Shuo Ye finished speaking, the air in the entire training room was instantly filled with a solemn atmosphere.
“But imparting this power is not unconditional!”
He raised his head slightly and continued, “I will establish an organization called ‘Feng’. Only the best, strongest, and most promising Uchiha members can swear allegiance and join it.”
Fugaku frowned, feeling uneasy in his heart. He turned sideways and whispered to the great elder: “By doing this, isn’t Sakuya letting Uchiha have the final say? Once he controls the ‘Feng’, what will be left of our family?”
The Great Elder’s eyes flashed with a complicated expression. He shook his head slightly, signaling Fugaku not to act rashly.
He responded in a low voice: “Since we have chosen Shuo Ye, we should trust him. Besides, do you think we have the ability to stop him? Look at the tribesmen around us.”
Chapter 17: Danzo’s plan! Killing two birds with one stone! (Old version)
Fugaku’s heart sank and he looked around.
Sure enough, many young Uchiha clan members have begun whispering, their eyes revealing admiration and yearning for Sakuya.
They longed for power, and longed to be one of the “forwards” and enjoy the true essence of the Six Styles promised by Sakuya.
“I want to join ‘Feng’!”
A young Uchiha member stepped forward without hesitation, a gleam in his eyes.
“Me too!”
Other tribesmen echoed each other, and the excited atmosphere spread like a flame.
Sakuya smiled slightly, his eyes were sharp. He slowly raised his hand, motioning for everyone to be quiet, and continued:
“I will set up an oath ceremony here. Only those who are truly willing to contribute to the family and be loyal to me will have the opportunity to become a member of the ‘Feng’.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sakuya turned his gaze to Shisui and Fugaku again, his voice becoming more firm:
“Also, I will establish an organization called ‘Uchiha Kagedo’, and only those who can open the Mangekyo can join. This organization will be the center of the Uchiha’s strongest power.”
“This…!” There was a hint of astonishment in Fugaku’s voice, his eyes flashed with complex emotions, and his heart was like a turbulent sea, unable to calm down.
According to Sakuya’s standards, shouldn’t I be able to join this Shadow Hall?
Fugaku gritted his teeth and was about to refuse when he felt Shisui’s hand firmly pressing on his shoulder, his eyes revealing deep understanding and support.
“Shisui…” Fugaku turned slightly to the side, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but Shisui just shook his head and silently turned his gaze to everyone.
The fiery anticipation in the eyes of those young Uchiha clan members.
“I see.”
Fugaku whispered to himself, a look of relief on his face.
Sakuya and the other two have now become the benchmark of the Uchiha family, carrying the beautiful vision of the future for countless clansmen.
He took a slow breath and felt a sense of responsibility that he had never felt before surging in his heart.
“Sakuya, you really hit me hard and then gave me something sweet to show for it.”
Fugaku sighed in his heart. Although he was against Sakuya at the beginning, the depression in his heart disappeared quietly at this moment.
Perhaps, I am really not suitable for the position of clan leader, and supporting Shuo Ye may be the real contribution to the family.
Not to mention anything else, just the things that Sakuya has done since he came to power have completely surpassed himself.
Seeing that Fugaku and Shisui did not raise any objections, Sakuya nodded in satisfaction.
Next, the Uchiha family will usher in a period of rapid development.
I think that when Obito wants to do something like the Nine-Tails Night, I should be able to give the village a surprise.
Three months later at the root, the cold air was filled with a depressing atmosphere, and the flickering fire on the wall reflected Danzo’s gloomy face.
It was so quiet all around that not even the sound of wind could be heard, as if even the air was holding its breath because of his mood at the moment.
“waste!”
He roared, and his voice echoed in the conference room, like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone’s heart. There was a pile of documents on the desk, and those reports on Uchiha seemed empty, as if mocking his incompetence at the moment.
“Danzo-sama,”
A ninja spoke cautiously, his voice as weak as a mosquito’s buzz, “The situation of the Uchiha in the past three months is indeed abnormal. All the geniuses of the branch have been transferred to an unknown location, and it seems that they are undergoing some secret training. We have no idea of ​​their movements.”
“You didn’t even meet Sakuya!? You’re a bunch of rubbish!”
Danzo’s voice was low, mixed with dissatisfaction and anger, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring straight at the ninja.
The man immediately lowered his head, feeling a chill in his heart, fearing that Danzo would vent his anger on him.
At this moment, the Third Hokage appeared silently at the door, with a solemn expression, as if carrying an unspeakable worry.
Danzo’s gaze shifted instantly, and he secretly wondered what the Third Hokage’s intention was.
He knew that no matter what the news was at this time, it must be closely related to the current situation.
“Danzo, the situation in Kumogakure is getting worse. It may be difficult for Minato to control the situation alone.”
The third generation’s voice was low, as if he was carrying the burden of the entire ninja village, with a hint of helplessness.
He raised his hand to adjust his glasses, his expression showing a bit of fatigue, “We must act quickly.”
“I understand Kumogakure’s problems, but the Uchiha’s problems cannot be ignored!”
Danzo was furious, and a sinister gleam flashed in his eyes.
“I’ve got a plan that kills two birds with one stone.”
Danzo’s voice suddenly dropped.
The Third Generation was slightly surprised and frowned slightly, but he quickly realized that although Danzo’s plan was insidious, it might really bring them a turning point.
He took a deep breath, constantly assessing the danger of this road in his mind.
“How do you plan to implement it?” The third generation calmed down, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
“I will contact the Anbu, sneak into Kumogakure, and create some chaos. At the same time, put pressure on the Uchiha and force them to take action. If they refuse…”
A cruel smile appeared on Danzo’s lips, like a wolf lurking in the shadows, waiting to devour its prey.
Chapter 18: Mitarashi Red Bean! Beating up Asuma! (Old version)
The third generation shook his head helplessly, but he knew in his heart that there was no better choice at the moment.
He knew that Danzo was undoubtedly a dangerous player, but if he didn’t take action, the situation would only get worse.
“Well, proceed with caution.”
Sandai’s voice sounded somewhat helpless, but inwardly he was worried about what would happen next.
Danzo smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
To him, both Uchiha and Kumogakure were just chess pieces on the chessboard, and he was the chess player who controlled everything.
Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant.
Kushina’s eyes lingered on the menu, and she excitedly pointed at the various types of ramen and cheered like a child:
“Sakuya, let’s get the spiciest one! I want to try it!”
Shuo Ye smiled slightly, but a sense of helplessness welled up in his heart.
His gaze passed Kushina and fell on the street outside the store.
Several ninjas passing by were discussing something enthusiastically, and the name “Yellow Flash” was frequently mentioned in the topic.
Shuo Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.
It seems that the day when Minato will succeed as the Fourth Hokage will be soon.
In this life, because of his butterfly effect, it seemed that he became the Fourth Hokage much later than in his memory.
Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, someone suddenly called out from behind him: “Sakuya!”
Sakuya turned around abruptly.
What came into view was the figure of Yuhi Kurenai, who was walking towards him with a smile, and beside her was Mitarashi Anko, who looked confused but friendly.
Both Yuhi Kurenai and Mitarashi Anko have been taught by Sakuya, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are both teachers and friends.
“Sakuya, you are here too.”
Xihi Kurenai said softly, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Kushina’s nervousness spread quickly, like a volcano that could erupt at any time, with sparks scattering in the air.
“Ha…ha, Yuhi Kurenai, are you coming to eat ramen too?”
Sakuya tried to break this delicate atmosphere.
“Yeah, I just happened to come and take a look when I had some free time.”
Xihi Kurenai answered easily, with some concern in her words, “How are you doing recently?”
“It’s fine… there are just some things that need to be dealt with.”
Sakuya responded softly, his eyes unconsciously wandering away from Kukona, afraid that if he continued looking, he would set off a powder keg.
At this moment, Kushina’s heart was churning, and she unconsciously twisted the soft flesh on Sakuya’s waist.
Hiss…this one really hurts!
At this moment, Asma suddenly rushed in, exuding anger and with jealousy flashing in his eyes!
“Sakuya, stay away from Xiurihong!” he gritted his teeth.
He has liked Sunset Red since he was a child!
But now this woman is so close to Sakuya! Just eating ramen! Is it necessary to get close to her! ?
How could he bear this?!
Sakuya glanced at the angry Asuma calmly, sneered in his heart, and did not take him seriously at all.
His eyes looked through Asuma and seemed to see the figure of the Hokage who had long since stepped down – the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. As expected, both father and son looked shameless.
The corners of Sakuya’s mouth rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, as if mocking him.
Just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, Mitarashi Anko suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence:
“Asuma, you don’t need to meddle in my affairs!”
Although her voice was not loud, it was full of determination, which almost made Asuma explode with anger.
Asuma was furious, and his angry face showed uncontrollable jealousy and unwillingness: “Yuhi Kurenai is mine! How dare you do this!”
He pointed at Sakuya like an angry lion, his roar filled with unquestionable momentum.
Hearing this, Shuo Ye couldn’t help but chuckle, but secretly teased in his heart: “As expected, father and son are both so self-righteous.”
Asuma seemed to sense Sakuya’s mockery, and the flame of anger instantly burned in his heart, and a flush appeared on his face: “What are you laughing at? What’s so funny?”
He questioned, his eyes full of disdain and provocation, as if he was expecting a conflict to break out.
“nothing.”
Sakuya responded lazily, turned to Kushina and said, “Kushina, are you done eating?”
Jiu Xingna nodded obediently, her clear eyes full of joy: “Well, I’m done eating!”
“Then let’s go.”
Sakuya said this lightly, as if he didn’t take Asuma to heart at all.
Asuma was almost angry to the point of vomiting blood. As the former son of the Hokage, who dared to treat him like this?
The rage in his heart was almost uncontrollable, and in a rage of humiliation, he attacked Sakuya directly. His fist flew towards Sakuya like an arrow, vowing to teach him a lesson.
“Asuma, you dare?!”
Yuhi Kurenai was shocked and angry, and almost instinctively spoke out to stop him, but Sakuya’s reaction was far beyond her imagination.
At the moment Asuma attacked, Sakuya’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then he dodged Asuma’s attack with a precise sidestep, and then did a quick roundhouse kick, hitting Asuma hard in the chest.
Asuma groaned, as if he was hit by a wild beast. He lost his balance in an instant and fell straight backwards, knocking over several tables and chairs with a crisp sound. Scattered wood chips and ramen bowls flew in the air.
Chapter 19 The third generation’s son? What a waste! (Old version)
The entire ramen shop fell silent in an instant, and all the customers widened their eyes in shock, as if time had stopped at that moment.
Sakuya stood proudly, his eyes revealing an awe-inspiring calmness.
“You…you…”
Asma lay on the ground in shock, his face pale and looking extremely embarrassed. He felt that at least two of his ribs were broken by this kick.
The air was filled with the aroma of ramen, but it seemed extremely heavy at this moment.
Sakuya shrugged slightly, a playful smile on his face, and said calmly: “Practice more basic skills when you have time, huh, son of the Hokage…?”
His voice was lighthearted, as if he was making light of a meaningless matter.
Asuma’s face turned red instantly, anger surged in his heart, and he almost vomited blood in anger.
“you…”
Just as he was about to retort, Shuo Ye suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Under the murderous aura that was like a cold blade, Asuma felt an invisible oppression, his heart trembled suddenly, and he almost peed his pants with fright.
He opened his mouth, but could no longer utter a word, as if his throat was strangled and he could not move at all.
At this time, Mitarashi Anko was actually happy for Sakuya.
But Shuo Ye was suddenly stunned and remembered a figure hiding in the shadows.
His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he quickly moved closer to Hongdou, his fingers gently brushing across her neck.
The air around seemed to be still at this moment.
When Hongdou felt Sakuya approaching, her cheeks instantly turned as red as roasted tomatoes. She was so embarrassed that she almost stepped back, her heart filled with panic and confusion.
Asuma stood by, stunned. He was so angry and shocked that he fainted and collapsed to the ground.
“You…what are you doing?”
Hongdou stuttered, trying to steady herself, but her voice sounded unusually weak due to nervousness.
“Orochimaru… haven’t made a move yet?”
Shuo Ye frowned slightly and couldn’t help but think in his heart.
He couldn’t help but slow down his tone, his expression unchanged, staring at Hongdou, and said softly: “It’s okay, I just saw a bug on your neck.”
After saying that, Sakuya turned and left, leaving Anko alone, feeling confused and uneasy.
Her cheeks were still as red as fire, and her mind kept recalling Sakuya’s look just now, as if searching for that indescribable emotion.
Along the way, Kushina was beside Sakuya, holding back her lips and huffing, “Oh, I didn’t realize that Sakuya-sama was so close to Anko!”
Although she didn’t say it directly, the uneasiness and tension were clearly visible in her eyes.
Sakuya noticed Kushina’s emotions and couldn’t help but smile. Then he ruffled Kushina’s red hair and said with a smile: “Don’t think too much, Hongdou is just a friend.”
After saying that, his gaze fell gently on Kushina’s face, making Kushina’s little face turn red.
“Humph! Why explain to me? I don’t care!”
As she said this, Kushina turned her head away.
“Next time, I’ll turn on the vibration mode in gear 2 for you.”
“I don’t care about that…”
After pinching the soft flesh on Sakuya’s waist hard, Kushina’s face turned red as if blood was about to drip out.
Shuo Ye sighed in his heart, it’s so easy to coax her.
However, just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a strange sound in his ears.
Interesting, you can’t help but do it to me?
“Kukouna, wait a moment.” Sakuya suddenly stopped and turned to Kukouna beside him with a chuckle, “You go back first, I have something to take care of.”
Kusina was stunned and looked at Sakuya with a worried look on her face: “Where are you going? I can accompany you!”
“There are things to do. Be obedient.”
Sakuya’s voice was calm, but it revealed an unquestionable determination, which made Jiu Xingna nod involuntarily, her heart full of doubts, but she could do nothing about it.
Under Sakuya’s gaze, Kushina slowly walked in the opposite direction, with reluctance and concern in her eyes.
But Sakuya turned around, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, and whispered:
“Everyone, I’ve been following you all the way, why don’t you show up?”
“Master Madman, Master Danzo has invited you to visit the Root headquarters. I hope you won’t make things difficult for us.”
A cold voice spoke from the shadows. It was polite, but its words were unquestionable.
At this moment, a cold system prompt sounded in Shuo Ye’s ears!
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the god-level choice!”
“1. Go to the Root Headquarters and become a test subject to receive a weapon fruit*1”
“2. Reward for escaping on the spot: Ninjutsu – Super Beast Fake Painting”
“3. Change the target and make a scene at the Hokage building to win the Zanpakutō. Kyoka Suigetsu Shikai”
“Choose 3!”
Without any hesitation, Shuo Ye immediately spoke secretly in his heart!
Neither the weapon fruit nor the super beast fake painting can bring about a qualitative change in his strength, but Kagami Suigetsu is Aizen’s Zanpakuto!
The power of that illusion is simply unsolvable!
“Let’s go!”
Feeling the new power slowly awakening in his body, Sakuya chuckled and said lightly.
The Root Ninja Captain was slightly stunned, as if he didn’t expect things to go so smoothly, but soon, he stopped thinking about it and quickly appeared to lead the way.
But just as they arrived near the Hokage Building, Sakuya suddenly stopped, and then took big strides towards the Hokage Building!
“Master Crazy! What are you going to do? Please understand our difficulties!”
The voice of the Root Captain sounded rapidly behind him, his tone mixed with threats and murderous intent.
Chapter 20: The Beginning! Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water! Let’s Fight! (Old Version)
“Difficulties?”
Sakuya’s voice was low and cold, as if he was talking to the darkness.
“What do your difficulties have to do with me? Or, your so-called ‘difficulties’ are the reason for my trip?”
He suddenly stopped and turned to face the captain. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, piercing through the heavy disguise of the roots.
The captain felt a chill run down his spine, thinking that if this madman got angry, the consequences would be disastrous.
“I’ll give you one chance.”
Sakuya smiled coldly, “Tell me to get Danzo to come out and see me, or…be prepared to bear my wrath.”
“Uchiha Sakuya! Do you want to rebel?!”
The captain swallowed and spoke sternly, “We are the Root! Lord Danzo does not wish to be your enemy.”
“Unfortunately, I don’t intend to listen to your nonsense.”
Sakuya’s hand moved slightly, the wind suddenly picked up, and the air around him became heavy and tense.
At this moment, the captain of the Root Unit felt his heart tighten, and he almost instinctively rushed out with a knife, the knife flashing, and went straight towards Shuo Ye.
But Sakuya seemed to have anticipated all this, and he dodged sideways like a shadow, not giving the opponent a chance to react.
The sound of the knife cutting through the air was like thunder, and the blade pierced into the ground, instantly turning into flying gravel.
“Do you really think you can stop me?”
A mocking smile appeared on Sakuya’s lips, and the air around him became colder, as if even time had stopped at this moment.
Captain Gen’s heart sank suddenly, and then he realized his own powerlessness.
He only felt a strong sense of oppression emanating from Sakuya, forcing him to breathe. He knew that once he really fought with him, despair would be waiting for him.
During this tense confrontation, the airflow behind Sakuya suddenly changed, like a violent storm, and the strong wind rushed towards him with ruthless murderous intent.
Shuo Ye sneered, his face calm.
“Want to launch a sneak attack? Your method is too crude!”
His heart trembled, and he immediately flew into the air, tapping his toes lightly on the wall beside him, and then he quickly retreated like an arrow, avoiding the sudden attack.
“Damn it, I was discovered!”
A figure emerged from the shadows, revealing a grim face, it was another Jonin from the Root.
He clenched the weapon in his hand and stared coldly at Shuo Ye, as if preparing for a more violent attack.
“The Root Jounin… he thinks highly of me.”
Shuo Ye curled his lips slightly, but secretly planned in his heart to make the scene even bigger.
“Come on, then.”
He chuckled, and strong chakra instantly rose up behind him, as if the whole world was enveloped by his aura.
The air around him also fluctuated due to his breath, as if a violent storm was about to come.
“Let the world see this brilliance.”
He whispered to himself, and the next moment, a bright blade was slowly pulled out from the shadows.
“Shikai. Mirror Flower and Water Moon.”
At the same time, in the heart of Konoha Village, a secret room was shrouded in thick shadows, and the atmosphere inside was solemn and tense.
In a dark corner of the Hokage’s office, Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen Sarutobi Hiruzen, advisor Utane Koharu, and Mito Kado En were sitting together, their eyes focused on the Kumogakure battle map on the table, their brows furrowed, as if every moment of silence was carrying a heavy burden.
“This situation is like a stalemate on a chessboard. It’s hard to move.”
Danzo’s voice was low and cold, and his eyes flashed with determination. “In this case, why not let the Uchiha clan go? Their strength is enough to break this deadlock.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn’t help but frown.
Mitomon Yan frowned, with a bit of worry in his tone:
“Danzo, I understand your concerns, but sending the Uchiha clan to the front lines is like pouring fuel on the fire. Although they are powerful, they also come with huge risks. The rift between the Uchiha clan and the village cannot be healed overnight. Such a decision will only increase the tension between the two sides.”
Utane Koharu nodded in agreement, her voice firm and powerful:
“That’s right. We can’t sacrifice long-term peace because of a temporary predicament. Although Uchiha Sakuya is young and promising, who can guarantee that he can fully control the emotions of the clan? Once he loses control, the consequences will be disastrous.”
Danzo’s face darkened when he heard this. He retorted, “You are too conservative! The village is now at a critical juncture of life and death. Any force may be the key to our comeback. The power of the Uchiha clan should not be underestimated. They have the ability to change the situation. As for the risk, we can reduce it through strict monitoring and checks and balances.”
“But the risk always exists!”
Mitomon En raised his voice, his eyes flashing with an unquestionable light.
“We cannot rely on uncertain factors to determine the fate of the village.”
Utatane Koharu took over the conversation and continued to elaborate on her point of view: “Rather than saying that there are uncertainties, it is better to say that sending the Uchiha clan to the front line now may cause panic and dissatisfaction among other clans. They will worry that they will be the next to be sacrificed. Such a chain reaction will deal a fatal blow to the stability of the village.”
The quarrel between the three became more and more intense, with each of them arguing for their own reasons and refusing to give in to the other.
Chapter 21: A farce! Danzo is in a difficult situation! (Old version)
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed softly and tried to mediate in a gentle tone: “Danzo, this move is still too risky. Uchiha is a member of Konoha after all.”
Utane Koharu and Mitokado En also nodded, expressing their agreement with the Sandai’s point of view.
However, Danzo remained unmoved. He sneered and said, “Do you want to see the Uchiha clan continue to grow in secret until one day it becomes a threat that we cannot control? The current clan leader Sakuya is not the Fugaku who was willing to endure in the past!”
Just as the four were arguing, the door was slowly pushed open, and a chakra fluctuation that could not be underestimated emerged, causing the air in the entire room to freeze.
Everyone looked up and saw Uchiha Sakuya walking in. His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see into people’s hearts.
“Sakuya!? Why are you here?!”
Danzo’s pupils suddenly shrank and he spoke in surprise subconsciously.
“Tsk? Why can’t I be here?”
Sakuya chuckled and spoke with unquestionable strength, making everyone present feel the pressure.
“Danzo-sama, what were you talking about just now? Why didn’t the Uchiha clan invite the meeting to such an important meeting?”
Everyone looked at each other, secretly surprised by Sakuya’s appearance.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was the first to react and tried to ease the atmosphere: “Sakuya, we didn’t mean to exclude the Uchiha, it’s just…”
Before he could finish his words, a scream suddenly came from outside, interrupting the conversation in the room.
The voice was shrill and desperate, making people shudder.
Danzo’s face turned pale instantly, he recognized that it was the voice of his Root member.
“What happened?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others got up in a hurry and rushed out. When they got outside, they saw chaos. The captain of the Root Corps was madly hacking and killing his own members. The blood dyed the ground red. The people around were terrified and fled in all directions.
“What’s going on!?”
Seeing this, Danzo was furious. He quickly stepped forward and tried to stop this crazy behavior.
However, the Root captain seemed to have lost his mind, ignoring Danzo’s call and slashing with his sword.
“Are you crazy!?”
Although Danzo reacted quickly, the sudden blow almost cut off his head.
“This…what the hell is going on!?”
Danzo was horrified and couldn’t understand what he saw.
Sakuya stood aside, watching coldly, but with a mocking smile on his lips.
“Danzo-sama, it seems your roots are not as loyal as you thought.”
Sakuya’s voice rang in Danzo’s ears with a hint of sarcasm and coldness. At the same time, he secretly untied the Kyoka Shuiyue.
After all, this play is more interesting if it is sung like this.
“What…are you doing!?”
On the other side, Danzo was holding down the Root captain tightly, wishing he could kill him right there and then.
The captain of the Root Unit seemed to have just woken up at this time, his eyes were full of joy, and he said in surprise:
“Master Danzo! I won! I killed that brat Uchiha! I…”
“You won nothing!”
Hearing what Captain Gen said, Danzo blushed on the spot, and was so angry that he kicked him hard twice and said coldly, “Look at what you have done!”
The next moment, the captain of the root unit turned around, looked at the corpses all over the ground and the blood on his hands, and was completely stunned.
“Is this… an illusion? Sakuya, did you do this?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and looked at Sakuya with complicated eyes.
“Of course not!”
Sakuya’s voice suddenly became a few pitches higher, as if everything that had just happened was just an insignificant farce.
He slowly turned around, his eyes swept across everyone present, finally stopping at Sarutobi Hiruzen Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said with a smile,
“Third-sama, please don’t arbitrarily accuse others. Look, this is not the effect of any illusion. Maybe there is some unknown secret between Captain Root and Danzo-sama?”
When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, his expression instantly turned ugly. He frowned, obviously extremely confused by the scene before him.
He looked at Sakuya, trying to find the answer from the other’s eyes, but Sakuya just smiled indifferently and did not give any further explanation.
Captain Gen was completely dumbfounded at this time. He looked around and found that he had done such a ridiculous thing without realizing it. His companions looked at him with shock and confusion, as if they were looking at a stranger.
He couldn’t accept all this and his heart was filled with fear and despair.
“No! This is impossible! It must have been Sakuya who did it! He controlled me!” Captain Gen suddenly shouted like crazy, pointing at Sakuya, his eyes full of hatred and anger.
Sakuya sneered, and with a flash of his body, he instantly appeared in front of the captain of the Root Corps.
He mercilessly slapped Captain Gen away with a slap. The powerful force made Captain Gen tumble several times in the air before he fell heavily to the ground, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
“I’ve said before, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want.”
Sakuya’s voice was as cold as ice. He stood there like an inviolable god.
“I, Uchiha Sakuya, act uprightly and never resort to such despicable means. If you dare to speak nonsense again, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Chapter 22: Condemning Sakuya? Are you worthy enough? (Old version)
Sakuya’s powerful move shocked everyone present.
They had never seen Sakuya be so decisive and ruthless, which made them re-examine the young Uchiha clan leader.
“Master Danzo! I am innocent! I was following your orders…”
However, Captain Gen had completely collapsed at this moment and he could not explain it at all.
Hearing this, Danzo’s face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it. He shouted angrily: “Enough!”
There was unquestionable authority in his voice, trying to save his face which was about to collapse.
“Although I don’t know what means you used, kid! But it is obvious that all this is related to you.”
Danzo’s eyes shot towards Sakuya like knives, his tone filled with reluctance and anger.
He then turned to the Root Captain, his eyes flashing with determination, “You, as a disgrace to the Root, must accept the due punishment.”
Danzo waved his hand, signaling his men to take the Root captain away, but he was secretly thinking about how to further suppress the Uchiha clan, especially Sakuya, who made him more and more wary.
He believed that only by completely uncovering Sakuya’s secret could the safety and stability of Konoha be ensured.
“Sakuya, you attacked your companions in the village. This matter cannot be tolerated.”
Danzo said coldly, his tone full of threats, “You must accept the investigation to prove your innocence.”
Upon hearing this, Sakuya sneered even more. He looked at Danzo with contempt, as if he was looking at a clown.
“Are you a mere Root, and are you worthy enough to put me, the head of the Uchiha clan, under investigation? Lord Danzo, your lust for power is really growing.”
Danzo was so angry at Sakuya’s words that he was shaking all over. He suppressed his anger and retorted loudly: “The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people! I do this for the justice and order of Konoha!”
He was secretly proud of himself, thinking that misfortune may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. This time, he could dig deeper into the secrets behind Shuo Ye.
Sakuya did not respond directly to Danzo, but instead turned his gaze to Sarutobi Hiruzen Sarutobi Hiruzen, his eyes full of questioning.
“Third-sama, is this what you mean? You want me, the leader of the Uchiha clan, to undergo such a humiliating investigation?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked embarrassed, as he was well aware of the complexity and sensitivity of this crisis.
He sighed softly, trying to make his tone sound gentle and fair.
“Sakuya, for the sake of peace and stability of the village, I hope you can understand that accepting the investigation is the best way to prove your innocence. The village will never wrongly accuse any innocent person.”
Utane Koharu and Mitokado En also chimed in, trying to calm the storm.
However, their voices seemed so pale and powerless in the face of Sakuya’s sneer.
At this moment, a deep and majestic voice suddenly sounded. It was the voice of the Uchiha elder.
“It’s fine to let Sakuya be investigated, but before that, we want to first investigate the matter of the Root personnel trying to spy on the Uchiha clan’s territory!”
As the Great Elder finished speaking, members of the Uchiha clan appeared one after another, and they threw the captured Root members directly in front of everyone.
This scene shocked everyone present. No one expected the situation to develop to this extent.
“This…what is going on?!”
Danzo’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He glared at the Root members angrily and secretly cursed those useless subordinates in his heart.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and others also looked grim. They realized that Sakuya came prepared this time, and was quite well prepared.
If a civil war breaks out at this time, coupled with the external pressure from Kumogakure, Konoha will probably really fall into an irretrievable situation.
Sakuya still sneered, he looked at Danzo, his tone was unquestionable and tough.
“Master Danzo, it seems the tables have turned. Now it’s your turn. Please explain why your Root personnel appeared near the Uchiha clan’s territory? What exactly are they planning?”
“this…”
Danzo’s face was like the sky before a storm, so gloomy that water seemed to drip from it.
He knew very well that at this moment the initiative had completely fallen into Shuo Ye’s hands. Although he was extremely unwilling, he could do nothing about it.
Upon seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly stepped forward to smooth things over and try to ease the tense atmosphere.
“Sakuya, since everyone is here, let’s put aside the village affairs and talk about Kumogakure.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed twice and quickly changed the subject.
Sakuya smiled slightly, as if everything was under control.
“Since the Third Generation Master has spoken, let’s go in and talk.”
His words were concise and clear, yet they revealed his unquestionable decisiveness.
Although Danzo was unwilling in his heart, he could only endure it uncomfortably under the restraining gaze of the Third Hokage.
His fear of Sakuya deepened a little bit. This young Uchiha clan leader always seemed to be able to turn the situation around inadvertently.
When I stepped into the conference room building again, the atmosphere became extremely stagnant.
“As a member of the village, Uchiha! You should contribute to the village! Now is the time when the Uchiha clan’s strength is needed!”
Chapter 23: Full level of enlightenment! Layout of the sealed book! (Old version)
Although Danzo and others were unwilling, they still tried to propose again that the Uchiha clan go to the battlefield.
Upon hearing this, Fugaku and others immediately expressed strong dissatisfaction and anger.
“What a joke! The Uchiha clan who should go to the battlefield have already gone. How many more manpower can be sent now? Do you want all the Uchiha clan to die on the battlefield?”
Fugaku’s voice was full of determination and indomitable spirit.
Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen once again used his conciliatory tactics, hoping that he would make concessions.
“Sakuya, you are the head of the Uchiha clan and a pillar of Konoha. For the future of the village, what do you think?”
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the selection!”
“1. Agree to go to the battlefield reward: full level of understanding
2. Pretend to go to the battlefield, but actually defect to other ninja villages. Reward: Random Devil Fruit
3. Reward for refusing to go to the battlefield: “Observation Haki”
Without any hesitation, Sakuya chose the first option – agreeing to go to the battlefield.
First of all, this is the first time I have encountered a reward for improving my comprehension. Now that I have reached the maximum level of comprehension, I can take the initiative to learn Konoha’s forbidden techniques, which will be a huge boost to my strength.
Secondly, the Uchiha clan’s strength has been improved in the past few months, and they need a battle of blood and fire to test the results.
“It’s not impossible for the Uchiha clan to go to the battlefield, but we must negotiate the terms first.”
Sakuya’s voice was firm and powerful. He looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo and made his request.
Fugaku felt nervous when he heard this, fearing that Sakuya would be fooled by Sarutobi Hiruzen’s big promises.
But what Sakuya said next made him feel much more at ease.
Sakuya’s eyes slowly swept across the conference room, finally stopping on Danzo’s face which was twisted with anger, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He spoke again, his voice clear and firm: “My conditions are clear, I hope you can consider them seriously.”
“First, I will select three forbidden techniques as our Uchiha clan’s reward for going to the battlefield. These forbidden techniques will be used to enhance the strength of our clan members so that we can better defend Konoha.”
Sakuya paused and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who nodded slightly, indicating that he had no objection to this condition.
After all, although forbidden techniques are powerful, not everyone can learn them, so it is harmless to give them to Sakuye.
“Secondly, the affiliation of Uchiha personnel must be decided by us Uchiha ourselves.”
There was an unquestionable determination in Sakuya’s voice, which was his expectation and commitment to the future of the Uchiha clan.
He looked around, and finally stopped his gaze on Danzo, and said slowly: “Finally, Uchiha Soudou must move back to the center of Konoha. This is our root.”
Danzo’s face turned pale when he heard this. He stood up suddenly, pointed at Sakuya and shouted, “No way! You are dreaming!”
We finally managed to drive the Uchiha out of the center of Konoha, how could we possibly let them come back?!
Danzo’s anger was like a volcano erupting, but Sakuya’s eyes remained calm.
He smiled indifferently and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with sharp eyes, as if waiting for his judgment.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a moment, he knew the importance of this decision.
On the one hand, he understood Danzo’s concerns and anger; on the other hand, he also saw Sakuya’s determination to fight for the rights of the Uchiha clan.
This time, if there is no bleeding, I’m afraid it will be over.
Finally, he slowly spoke, his voice revealing deep helplessness and compromise: “Danzo, I understand your feelings. But the conditions proposed by Sakuya are not completely unacceptable. The Uchiha clan is an important pillar of Konoha. Perhaps we can find a compromise…”
However, Danzo was not convinced by Sarutobi Hiruzen’s words. He interrupted angrily:
“Compromise? How can I compromise? I absolutely do not agree!”
When the Uchiha people heard this, their faces instantly turned ugly. They looked at each other, their eyes full of resentment and disappointment.
Fugaku clenched his fists and said indignantly: “We, the Uchiha clan, fought hard for Konoha, but in the end, we can’t even realize our wish to let the clan leader return to his homeland? Does Konoha really regard us as its own people?”
Shuo Ye watched coldly, a sneer on his face.
He stood up, stared at Danzo with a sharp gaze, and said in a cold and decisive voice: “Master Danzo, it seems that you have no right to speak here. My conditions have been put on the table. Whether you accept them or not depends on the decision of the Third Generation Master.”
He paused, turned his gaze to the Third Hokage, and continued: “All three conditions are indispensable. If one is missing, then the issue of Kumogakure will be solved by the Hokage himself. We, the Uchiha clan, also have our bottom line.”
The Third Hokage’s face also became extremely ugly when he heard this.
He knew very well that once he agreed to the third condition, it would be almost equivalent to announcing the return of the Uchiha clan, which would not only touch the sensitive nerves within Konoha, but might also trigger a series of unpredictable consequences.
Some of the grudges and secrets of the past might also be dug up again, plunging the entire Konoha into turmoil.
Chapter 24: Tempering in Blood and Fire! Testing the Results! (Old Version)
However, facing Sakuya’s unquestionable eyes and the firm attitude of the Uchiha people, the Third Hokage finally sighed and nodded slowly.
“Okay, I agree to your terms. Uchiha Soudou can move back to the center of Konoha, but I hope you can use this as an opportunity to live in harmony with the other families of Konoha and protect this village together.”
Danzo’s expression became even uglier. He clenched his teeth, his heart filled with resentment and anger.
But he also understood that it would be futile to say anything more at this moment, and he could only watch the Third Hokage make this decision.
Sakuya chuckled and nodded in satisfaction.
“Isn’t that good? The Uchiha clan is still willing to contribute to the village. As long as Konoha can give us the respect and treatment we deserve, we will naturally do our best.”
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but before leaving, he left a meaningful sentence: “Danzo-sama, sometimes, being too obsessed with the past will only make you lose more.”
Danzo felt mixed emotions when he heard this.
He looked at Utatane Koharu and the others, and saw that they were also worried. The Third Hokage saw this, patted Danzo’s shoulder gently, and said earnestly:
“Danzo, we are all for the future of Konoha. Sometimes, sacrificing the small self is to achieve the greater self. When the Uchiha goes to the battlefield, everything will naturally be clear.”
“snort!”
Danzo snorted coldly, but a sinister look flashed in his eyes.
Sacrifice my own little self? Why not sacrifice you old folks? Must I sacrifice my roots?
Once the Uchiha Sanda is defeated, you will be the next one.
Maybe I can use Sakuya’s knife someday!
After returning to the Uchiha clan’s territory, Shisui and the others gathered around Sakuya, their faces solemn and their eyes full of worry.
“Sakuya, are you really determined to bring the people of ‘Feng’ to the battlefield? Can they…really fight against Kumogakure?”
Shisui was the first to speak, his voice trembling slightly. He knew the cruelty of the battlefield and was worried about the safety of his people.
“Shisui, you still haven’t completely changed your mind.”
Sakuya shook his head slightly, his eyes flashing with determination and confidence, “We are Uchiha! Our name is closely linked to the battlefield. Don’t forget, we gained our fame on the battlefield, and that is a glory forged with blood and sweat.”
He paused, glanced at everyone, and continued:
“If the Uchiha want to return to the top of the ninja world, what do they rely on? Not to escape, not to retreat, but to fight! The battlefield is the best testing ground. Only there can our ‘Feng’ be truly baptized by actual combat, and our strength can be improved by leaps and bounds.”
“and,”
Sakuya emphasized, “Don’t forget, the chances of the Sharingan opening will greatly increase on the battlefield. It is an instinctive reaction to danger and an extreme stimulation of the desire to survive. Similarly, Armament Haki also needs to be constantly honed to become stronger.”
Upon hearing this, Shisui and the Great Elder fell into deep thought.
They recalled the history of the Uchiha clan, those glorious battles, and those ancestors who fought for the honor of the family.
“Great Elder, Shisui, and what do you think…how did the Senju clan disappear?”
Sakuya’s voice rang out again, interrupting their thoughts but also making them feel a chill in their hearts.
Yes, how did the Senju clan disappear?
Inexplicably, the Great Elder couldn’t help but start to recall, only to find that the disappearance of the Thousand Hands Clan was so…silent, even, it was natural.
It seemed as if an invisible giant hand had been fanning the flames and trying to erase all traces of the Thousand Hands Clan!
The Great Elder took a deep breath and his eyes became firm.
“Sakuya, you are right. We cannot repeat the mistakes of the Senju clan. If the Uchiha clan wants to rise, they must have the courage to face all difficulties. I understand, and I will fully support your decision.”
Shisui nodded as well, his eyes gleaming with determination.
“I understand too, Sakuya, let’s prove the power of the Uchiha on the battlefield!”
Sakuya nodded with satisfaction.
Hidden in the clouds?
Who knows, you might even run into a few old acquaintances.
Several days of fierce fighting, like an endless nightmare, shrouded the battlefield in depression and despair.
Although the Konoha ninjas fought desperately, they still seemed powerless in the face of the overwhelming offensive of the Hidden Cloud forces, and their faces looked particularly ugly due to fatigue and anxiety.
Hinata Yuto was currently standing at the forefront of the team, his eyes bloodshot.
“When will the reinforcements arrive?”
Hinata Yuuto’s voice was hoarse and hurried. He asked a ninja beside him, but the answer he got was like a cold blade, cutting the last glimmer of hope in his heart – “No news yet.”
Hinata Yuto clenched his teeth, his face twisted with anger and unwillingness.
He knew very well that the situation was critical at the moment, but they could not give up.
Chapter 25: Eight-Tailed Fox Attacks! Kirabi is paralyzed! (Old version)
He raised his head and looked into the distance, his eyes flashing with determination, and shouted to his companions around him: “Hold on! We are Konoha’s ninjas, and we must not let the conspiracy of Kumogakure succeed!”
However, at this critical moment, an even more desperate news came like a bolt from the blue – the reinforcements of Kumogakure were about to arrive, and they would be led by the legendary Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee himself.
Hinata Yuto’s face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his heart sank to the bottom.
“Is it really over this time?” He murmured to himself, his heart filled with helplessness and despair.
He was well aware of the terrifying power of the Eight-Tails, which even Konoha’s elite ninjas would find difficult to match, not to mention that they were already at the end of their strength at this moment.
“Even if Konoha’s reinforcements come, they can’t stop the Eight-Tails!” Hinata Yuto clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms, but he didn’t feel any pain at all.
His mind flashed through the names of Konoha’s strong men one after another, but in the end he shook his head helplessly, “Unless the three ninjas come in person, otherwise…”
However, before he could finish his words, Hinata Yuuto suddenly shut his mouth.
He knew that such an idea was nothing but a futile wish. At this moment, they could only rely on their own strength to fight for that glimmer of hope. He took a deep breath and looked up at the battlefield again, his eyes rekindled with fighting spirit.
“No matter what the outcome is, we can’t give up! For Konoha, for our families and companions behind us, we must fight to the end!”
On the other side of the battlefield, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee led the elite troops of Kumogakure and swept in like a storm. Wherever they passed, Konoha’s defenses collapsed and no one could stop their edge.
“Konoha, you’d better prepare to bleed heavily!” Killer Bee sneered in his heart, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
However, just as he was about to move forward, an unexpected news broke the tranquility.
“Report! Several teams outside the Hidden Cloud Support Team suddenly lost contact!” A ninja ran over hurriedly and reported nervously.
Kirabi was stunned and frowned slightly.
He knew very well that the Hyuga clan of Konoha had the powerful Byakugan, which could see through everything on the battlefield. But even so, he had never expected that Konoha would deploy so many ambushes on the periphery.
“Bai Yan…it turns out that it’s not so easy to deal with.”
Kirabi muttered to himself, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
It seems that Konoha may have some unknown forces hidden on the outskirts, ready to catch them off guard.
However, just as he was about to adjust his tactics, another even more shocking piece of news came: “Report! We have also lost contact with the outermost squad outside the battlefield!”
Kirabi was shocked when he heard this and his face changed suddenly.
He turned around suddenly and looked at the periphery of the battlefield, with an ominous premonition in his heart.
Just then, a rapid and heavy noise came from outside, as if something was approaching quickly.
A strong energy wave suddenly erupted at the edge of the battlefield, accompanied by a deafening roar, and a figure appeared in front of everyone like a ghost.
With amazing skills and speed, that figure simultaneously killed several members of the Hidden Cloud support teams. His methods were so brutal that they were astonishing.
Kirabi’s pupils shrank.
That’s a member of the Uchiha clan!
That’s…Feng!
“Damn it!”
Killer Bee’s face looked grim, his chakra suddenly surged, and just as he was about to attack, a fierce murderous intent suddenly enveloped him!
A figure slowly walked out from the shadows on the other side. It was Shuo Ye.
He smiled and greeted Kirabi: “Long time no see, Kirabi.”
Killer Bee’s face instantly became extremely gloomy. When he saw the figure leading the Konoha reinforcements to charge forward and killing the Hidden Cloud Ninjas, he couldn’t help but feel an incredible shock in his heart – it was Sakuya, a madman who was known for his madness on the battlefield and might even ignore his own people.
“Konoha…are they crazy?” Killer Bee thought to himself, such a decision was simply unbelievable.
In an instant, the wind rose.
On the battlefield, Sakuya’s figure was like a ghost, swift and ruthless, and he instantly cut into the battlefield.
In his cold eyes, there seemed to be only endless killing and conquest, which made people shudder.
Behind him, the “Front” team composed of Uchiha people were gathering around Sakuya like a sharp blade, with an aggressive momentum that was frightening.
“Since when did Konoha have such an army?”
Kirabi was filled with doubts and vigilance. This sudden power undoubtedly brought a huge threat to Kumogakure.
But what is even more shocking is that these Uchiha people seem to have mastered a never-before-seen fighting skill – Armament Haki.
In the battle, some of them seemed to be wearing invisible armor, invulnerable to swords and guns. No matter how fierce the attacks of the Hidden Cloud Ninjas were, they could not penetrate that layer of mysterious protection; some of them sprinted at a strange speed, shuttling through the battlefield like ghosts, making it impossible to defend against them; some of them could even perform attacks similar to the Unveiled Ninjutsu, changing the situation of the battle in an instant and catching the Hidden Cloud Ninjas off guard.
“This team… must die here!”
A determined murderous intent flashed in Kirabi’s eyes. He knew very well that such skills and strength were born for killing.
Chapter 26: Full-level swordsmanship! Fighting the Eight-tailed Jinchuriki! (Old version)
Whether it was to trap and kill Sakuya and his troops here, or to force out the secret of this technique, now was a perfect opportunity.
“Shuo Ye, you’re just in time!”
Killer Bee spoke coldly, his voice full of cold murderous intent, “Since you’re here, don’t even think about leaving!” Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, the power of the Eight-Tails surging in his body, ready to meet this unprecedented decisive battle.
Just as Sakuya was feeling an unprecedented determination, a cold and mechanical system voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
【
1. Reward for capturing the Eight-Tailed Fox on the spot: Full-level swordsmanship
2. Retreat immediately reward: S-level ninjutsu skills, no seal
3. Reward for immediate surrender: All earth escape ninjutsu below level A + Ninja Turtle title]This sudden choice made Sakuya stunned for a moment. His eyes quickly swept between the three options, with complex emotions surging in his heart.
The temptation of full-level swordsmanship is undoubtedly huge, which will mean that his combat power will leap forward again and become a true battlefield master.
Although the S-level Muji technique is tempting, he knows that as he integrates with various templates, his precise control over chakra has been improving day by day, and this reward is not indispensable to him.
As for the third option, he sneered at it. Surrender? That was impossible!
Without any hesitation, Sakuya decisively chose the first option: “Yaobi… I’m going to decide today!”
There was a flash of determination and expectation in his eyes, as if he had already foreseen the moment when he would hold the highest level of swordsmanship and stand tall among the crowd.
At the same time, Killer Bee also felt the sudden rise of fighting spirit in Sakuya. He frowned, and his chakra burst out instantly. Golden light surrounded him, forming sharp tailed beast chakra tentacles.
Although he had heard of Shuo Ye, he had never actually fought against him. At this moment, he did not dare to be careless at all.
Hinata Yuto stood at the forefront of the team, sweat and dust intertwined on his face, and every breath was accompanied by a heavy gasp.
He looked around and saw the exhausted figures of his companions.
Although they tried their best, the attack of Yunyin was still fierce, as if it wanted to devour them completely.
At this moment, a familiar and palpitating chakra fluctuation suddenly surged into his perception.
That was the Eight-Tails’ chakra, powerful and violent, like a beast-like roar that echoed over the battlefield.
Hinata Yuto’s face turned extremely ugly in an instant. He knew very well what the arrival of this force meant – the reinforcements from Kumogakure had arrived, and the difficulties they faced would become even more difficult.
“It’s over…” Hinata Yuto sighed in his heart, but then quickly suppressed the despair.
As a ninja of Konoha, he couldn’t give up, and he couldn’t let his companions see his weakness.
He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and began to think about his next strategy.
“Retreat?” This thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly rejected it.
Retreat means giving up, giving up this land, giving up their mission and glory.
Moreover, even if they retreated, the pursuit of Yunyin would leave them with nowhere to escape.
“No, we can’t retreat!”
Hinata Yuto’s eyes became firm. He looked at his companions and shouted:
“Everyone, hold on! Our reinforcements must be on the way! We can’t fall here, for Konoha!”
When his companions heard his words, they all looked up and the light of hope rekindled in their eyes.
So they straightened their backs again, gripped their weapons tightly, and prepared for a more intense battle.
On the battlefield, the duel between Sakuya and Killer Bee was like the collision of two stars, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.
At first, Kirabi’s chakra exploded, and the golden light surrounded his body like a raging sea, forming an indestructible chakra coat.
Seeing this, the ninjas of Kumogakure cheered. They believed that in the face of the power of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, any enemy would be easily crushed.
However, Sakuya did not show any fear. He moved and appeared in front of Kirabi like a ghost, with the long knife in his hand flashing with cold light, as if it could cut through everything.
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Sakuya swung his sword with a speed that almost exceeded the limit of what the naked eye could capture.
“clang!”
A crisp metallic clang sounded, and Sakuya’s knife tip actually cut through Killer Bee’s chakra coat, leaving a deep crack. At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and everyone’s breathing stagnated.
Kirabi’s face changed suddenly. He never expected that Sakuya’s swordsmanship was so amazing that he could break his defense with one sword.
A strong sense of fear and shock welled up in his heart. If he had not reacted in time, he would probably have been beheaded by now.
“What kind of swordsmanship is this?!”
Kirabi’s voice trembled a little, and he looked at Sakuya in disbelief, as if he was looking at a monster.
Chapter 27: Tailed Beast Transformation! The Fight Begins Now! (Old Version)
The ninjas of Kumogakure were also shocked. They had never seen such terrifying swordsmanship. For a moment, even the cheers stopped abruptly, and were replaced by dead silence.
Sakuya’s swordsmanship is like a violent storm, and each sword contains amazing power and speed; while Killer Bee relies on the power of the Eight-Tails to continuously perform various powerful ninjutsu to fight back.
The two fought back and forth, and the fight was hard to determine, making the entire battlefield boil with excitement.
However, in this fierce battle, the power displayed by Sakuya’s terrifying swordsmanship was deeply imprinted in everyone’s heart.
They knew that the outcome of this battle would change the situation on the entire battlefield.
Uchiha Genkyō stood at the front of the team, his eyes fixed on Sakuya’s agile figure, his eyes flashing with unprecedented fanaticism and admiration.
Every time Sakuya swung his sword, it seemed to stir up ripples in his heart, causing his desire for power to reach an unprecedented level.
However, at this moment, Uchiha Rin’s calm and firm voice interrupted his thoughts.
“Xuan Jing, now is not the time to be distracted.”
Uchiha Rin’s voice was not loud, but it carried unquestionable majesty, “Our mission is to complete the established strategic deployment. We don’t need to worry about Sakuya’s affairs.”
When Uchiha Xuanjing heard this, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but it was immediately replaced by rationality.
He knew that what Rin said made sense, so he nodded and refocused his attention on the battle at hand.
He waved his hand and led the elites of the Uchiha clan, rushing towards the defense line of Kumogakure like a black tide.
Their movements were swift and coordinated, and every attack was precise and accurate, as if every Uchiha member had become the god of death on the battlefield, ruthlessly reaping the lives of the Hidden Cloud Ninjas.
The Hidden Cloud’s defense line quickly collapsed under the impact of the Uchiha clan, and panic and despair spread among the Hidden Cloud ninjas.
On the other side of the battlefield, Kirabi’s face had become extremely ugly.
He looked around and saw that the situation of Yunyin was becoming increasingly unfavorable, and his subordinates were being eaten away by the enemy bit by bit.
He knew very well that if this continued, Yunyin would be defeated.
“We can’t delay any longer!” Kirabi roared in his heart, and then made a surprising decision.
He took a deep breath, and the chakra in his body instantly boiled. Golden light gushed out of his body and completely enveloped him.
“Tailed Beast Transformation!”
With a deafening roar, Kirabi’s body underwent earth-shaking changes.
His body expanded rapidly, and eight huge tails danced wildly behind him, releasing destructive power.
He was like a god of war or a ferocious monster, and instantly became the focus of the battlefield.
“What?! That is…” The surrounding ninjas were all shocked when they saw this scene.
They had never seen such terrifying power, and had never imagined that the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki could transform into a tailed beast so easily.
Killer Beast transformed into a tailed beast is like an arrogant king. He wields his huge claws, and every attack is accompanied by a thunderous sound, tearing the surrounding enemies into pieces.
Although the Konoha ninjas also felt tremendous pressure, they did not retreat. Instead, they united more closely and prepared for the final decisive battle.
When the ninjas of Kumogakure witnessed the terrifying power displayed by Killer Bee after he transformed into a tailed beast, their confidence was instantly boosted and cheers rang out one after another.
The light in their eyes flickered with a desire for victory, as if they had already foreseen the scene of Sakuya being crushed by the tailed beasts.
“Haha, this is the power of our Kumogakure! No matter how strong Sakuya is, how can he be compared with the tailed beasts?”
The Hidden Cloud Ninjas shouted excitedly, their morale was high, as if victory was just around the corner.
However, Sakuya stood on the battlefield like a rock, without changing his expression.
There was no hesitation or fear in his calm eyes, only a firm belief in victory.
In response to Kirabi’s attempt to surrender, he just smiled, and that smile was full of disdain and ridicule.
“Kirabi, I appreciate your kindness. But have you ever thought that although the Uchiha are ostracized in Konoha, it is only because our strength is too strong and makes some people feel uneasy.”
Sakuya’s voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the battlefield. “At least, in Konoha, we can still find a place that belongs to us. And going to Kumogakure? That’s the real outsider, the real tree without roots.”
Kirabi’s face darkened slightly when he heard this. He didn’t expect Sakuya to reject his invitation so resolutely, and he didn’t expect him to say such a thing. But he quickly regained his composure, with a sneer on his face.
“Hmph, Sakuya, your stubbornness will only lead you to destruction. However, since you are so confident, let us speak with our strength!”
Killer Bee said this, increasing the power of his tailed beast transformation once again.
His eight tails danced wildly in the air, and every swing was accompanied by a deafening roar and earth-shattering power.
Chapter 28: Open your eyes! Now, whose turn is it to escape? (Old version)
“Kill!” Kirabi roared and pounced on Sakuya.
He was extremely fast and rushed to Sakuya’s side in an instant.
He stretched out his arms quickly, and his sharp nails directly cut through the silver-white clothes on Sakuya’s chest, tearing it apart and leaving several bloody marks.
However, Sakuya did not move at all. Instead, he suddenly disappeared from the spot when Kirabi was about to approach him.
Kirabi’s pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked around cautiously. He had just felt that Sakuya was very close to him, how could he disappear out of thin air in the blink of an eye?
“Kirabi, be careful!” Samui, who was observing the changing situation from the side, gave a timely reminder.
Hearing Samui’s words, Kirabi’s expression changed drastically and he quickly moved to the side.
Unfortunately, he was still half a step too late, and felt a sharp pain in his right leg. A kunai pierced through his feet, causing a trail of blood to splatter.
“Asshole!” Kirabi was furious and yelled, “How dare this damn guy to plot against me…”
“Kirabi, don’t be distracted!”
Samui growled. He stared at Sakuya on the battlefield with a stern expression. He had indeed spotted Sakuya’s trail just now, but when he wanted to stop him, it was too late.
Kirabi’s gaze froze in an instant, as if he was suddenly hit by an invisible force. The shock that surged in his heart was like a raging storm, difficult to calm down.
He had never thought that Konoha actually hid such an amazing secret. The strength displayed by Sakuya was far beyond his imagination.
Taking a deep breath, the chakra in his body surged wildly, and the murderous intent burst out like a substance, filling the surrounding air with a layer of icy chill.
“Konoha, how much power have you hidden?! Sakuya, today, you will die here!”
Killer Bee’s roar resounded through the sky, and the eight tails of the Eight-Tails danced wildly in the air, as if to tear the world apart.
He no longer hesitated and directly activated the destructive power of the Tailed Beast Ball. A huge energy ball condensed in his palm, emitting a heart-pounding light.
However, facing the Tailed Beast Ball that was powerful enough to destroy everything, Sakuya seemed unusually calm.
There was no panic in his eyes, but instead there was a gleam of anticipation.
“Interesting! Then I should be more serious too.” Sakuya’s voice was calm and confident.
He slowly raised his right hand, and terrifying chakra burst out instantly. A blue giant suddenly rose from the ground and wrapped him up completely!
Susano…No!
The next moment, he gently swung the long sword in his hand, and in an instant, a dazzling sword light cut through the sky, colliding fiercely with the Tailed Beast Ball like a comet hitting the earth.
boom–!
With a deafening roar, the shock wave generated by the collision of the tailed beast ball and the sword light instantly swept across the entire battlefield, raising dust and smoke that blocked the sun.
When the dust settled, everyone was surprised to find that the seemingly invincible Tailed Beast Ball was actually split in half by Sakuya’s sword. Wherever the residual power reached, the ground cracked into shocking cracks.
Kirabi was stunned, his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief.
He had never seen anyone who could break the Tailed Beast Ball so easily. Sakuya’s strength was far beyond his understanding.
The surrounding ninjas were also in an uproar. They looked at this scene in shock, as if they had witnessed a miracle.
Sakuya chuckled, that smile showing both confidence in victory and amusement at Kirabi’s reaction.
“Now, whose turn is it to escape?”
There was a hint of provocation in his words, as if telling Kirabi that the outcome of this battle was already determined.
Killer Bee’s face was gloomy and uncertain. He knew very well that he was at a disadvantage, but his pride and dignity as the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki did not allow him to admit defeat.
However, just as he was preparing to fight to the death, Sakuya’s figure appeared in front of him like a ghost, with a long sword as fast as lightning, pointing directly at his throat.
“Give up, Kirabi.”
Sakuya’s voice was calm but firm.
The surrounding ninjas held their breath, waiting for this decisive moment to come.
There was a gleam of disbelief in Yabi’s eyes.
Sakuya actually opened the Mangekyō Sharingan and mastered the forbidden power of Susanoo!
An unprecedented sense of crisis surged in its heart, knowing that if Sakuya continued to grow, the consequences would be disastrous.
“He…how old is he?!”
There was a tremor in the Eight-Tails’ voice. It couldn’t believe that such a young body contained such a terrifying power. This power was unprecedented and shocking even for a tailed beast like it.
With the roar of the Eight-Tails, the war escalated again. The entire battlefield seemed to be on fire, with flames shooting into the sky and earth and rocks flying everywhere.
The Eight-Tails’ tail raged in the air like a giant python, and every swing was accompanied by a force that could destroy the world. However, these attacks seemed so pale and powerless in front of Sakuya’s Susanoo.
Sakuya stood inside Susanoo, like a god of war descending to the earth. Every movement he made was full of power and beauty.
As the long sword was swung, the blade light was like a dragon, easily cutting through the attack of the Eight-Tails, and even suppressing the Eight-Tails fiercely in turn.
Susanoo’s armor flashed with dazzling light, and every collision made a deafening roar, which made everyone present look sideways.
The enthusiasm in everyone’s eyes gradually grew. They had never seen such a thrilling battle.
Sakuya’s strength has far exceeded their imagination.
“Is this… is this Sakuya’s strength?!”
Someone murmured, his voice full of awe and wonder.
Chapter 29: Overlord’s Haki! Kill all the Yunyin instantly! (Old version)
“It’s so scary, his chakra is simply endless!”
The other person said tremblingly, his eyes full of fear and shock at Sakuya’s strength.
Under continuous blows, the Eight-Tails gradually lost its former majesty, and its huge body seemed so powerless under the attack of Susanoo.
It couldn’t believe that such a short time had passed and Sakuya had grown to this point.
That terrifying amount of chakra and that precise and deadly attack made it feel unprecedented despair.
“This…how is this possible?!”
The Eight-Tails roared in its heart, but it could not change the reality before it.
The Eight-Tails struggled desperately, trying to break free from the restraints given by Sakuya.
However, this was doomed to be in vain. Under the powerful pressure and offensive of Susanoo, it couldn’t even raise its head, let alone escape.
“Let’s just stop here!”
Sakuya’s indifferent voice resounded throughout the venue, and he turned his wrist, and the Armament Haki on his arm instantly condensed, and then burst outward, forming dozens of sharp Armament Haki blades, shooting towards the Eight-Tails.
The Eight-Tails let out its final roar, and its huge body suddenly exploded, sending blood rain all over the sky.
“We won!!”
The ninjas watching the battle cheered immediately. They never thought that this war would be won so easily.
As the blood rained down from the sky, the smoke of battle seemed to have not yet dissipated, and the surrounding air was filled with the smell of blood and fire.
Sakuya stood in the armor of Susanoo. Although he felt the joy of victory in his heart, he also felt a little tired.
He knew that even though the Eight-Tails had been defeated, the end of the battle did not mean that everything was over.
On the other side of the battlefield, Kirabi’s eyes revealed despair and fear, as if he was shrouded in shadow, and he felt deeply powerless against Sakuya’s strength.
escape!
Must escape!
He, Kirabi, had never realized the gap so much as he did at this moment…If he stayed, he would definitely die.
At this moment, the system’s voice rang in Sakuya’s ears again: “Congratulations on reaching 50% fusion level, and automatically mastering the Conqueror’s Haki!” This invisible reminder was like a bolt of lightning, striking Sakuya deep in his heart.
Conqueror’s Haki, the legendary Haki, symbolizes absolute strength and irresistible pressure.
There was a resolute light in Sakuya’s eyes. He slowly retracted Susanoo, and the air around him seemed to become extremely oppressive.
He looked directly at Kirabi, a cruel smile on his face, as if announcing something.
Kirabi’s heart suddenly sank and he felt a strong sense of crisis, as if an invisible darkness was approaching behind him. He instantly turned into a shadow and tried to stay away from the battlefield.
“What does this kid want to do?”
Kirabi was confused and uncertain, and a trace of uneasiness flashed through his mind.
Sakuya’s gaze was so direct that he couldn’t help but want to step back.
However, Sakuya did not give him any chance to escape.
“Want to escape? Stop kidding.”
Sakuya’s voice rang out like thunder, and then his gathered domineering aura surged like a raging tide, transforming into countless waves shining with cold light, and instantly spread out in all directions.
The invisible air wave swept out like a shock wave, spreading across the entire battlefield.
“Well……”
Kirabi’s body trembled involuntarily, and a deafening roar rang in his ears, as if the whole world was shaking at this moment.
His consciousness seemed to be torn apart, the scene in front of him became blurred in an instant, and even breathing seemed to become difficult.
Sakuya’s domineering aura was like a violent storm, instantly sweeping away all the Kumogakure ninjas present.
Those ninjas who were cheering turned pale as death. They were swallowed up by this invisible pressure without any warning and lost consciousness in an instant, as if their existence was completely wiped out.
Under the impact of this force, Kirabi’s body felt like it was hit by a huge rock. He had almost no power to resist and was directly pressed to the ground, his consciousness gradually becoming blurred.
He only felt an irresistible force dragging him into darkness, and everything around him seemed to be caught in a whirlpool, unable to struggle anymore.
“This is… what’s going on…”
His last thoughts gradually dissipated in the chaos, and with shock and fear of Sakuya’s powerful strength, he completely fell into endless darkness.
On the battlefield, only Sakuya stood alone in the center. The surroundings were so quiet that it was almost terrifying, and only the dreamlike firelight was still flickering slightly.
At this moment, he was like a god descending, looking down proudly at the ruined battlefield.
“It seems… a bit too much?”
Hinata Yuto stood in the makeshift command tent, his brows furrowed, his fingers tapping the table unconsciously, feeling mixed emotions.
The aura of the Eight-Tailed Fox just now was like thunder across the sky, which made him feel deeply uneasy. Once that level of power was involved, their team would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and could be wiped out at any time.
Just as he was hesitating whether to continue fighting or retreat wisely, a ninja rushed in and interrupted his thoughts.
“Report to the captain, our reinforcements have arrived!” This sudden news made Hinata Yuto happy, but was soon replaced by doubt.
“Who is it? How many people have come?” he asked anxiously, hoping to turn the tide of the battle.
However, the reporter’s expression became extremely strange, and he hesitated for a long time before saying: “Yes… it was someone from Uchiha, but only one came.”
Chapter 30: The Hyuga people are in a state of panic! Was the Eight-Tails captured alive? (Old version)
Upon hearing this, Hinata Yuto’s face instantly turned pale and his doubts grew even greater.
“What the hell? It would be fine if the Uchiha came in person, but why is there only one person?”
He muttered in disbelief, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.
At this moment, the curtain of the tent was gently opened, and a young man wearing Uchiha clan uniform and with deep eyes slowly walked in. He was Uchiha Xuanjing, exuding an indescribable calmness and confidence.
“Captain Hyuga, the reinforcements of Kumogakure have been killed by us led by Sakuya. You can rest assured. The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki has also been successfully captured by us. You don’t have to worry anymore.”
Uchiha Xuanjing’s voice was calm and powerful, as if what he had just said was just a trivial matter.
Hinata Yuto’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What the hell?! How is this possible?!”
He almost jumped up. They were well aware of how difficult it was to deal with the Hidden Cloud Village. The combination of Lightning Release and Ninja Taijutsu was simply a killing weapon on the battlefield.
Even if all the Uchiha members opened their Sharingan, it would not be easy to achieve this level, not to mention capturing a tailed beast like the Eight-Tails!
The surrounding ninjas were also in an uproar. They looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and confusion.
Some people were whispering, some were shaking their heads and sighing, as if they were questioning the authenticity of the news.
“Uchiha Xuanjing, are you serious? Just with a few of you, you… defeated the reinforcements of Kumogakure and… captured the Eight-Tails?”
A brave ninja finally couldn’t help but ask, his voice trembling obviously.
Uchiha Xuan Jing smiled slightly and said lightly.
“That’s the truth. Lord Sakuya’s strength is far beyond your imagination.”
His words were brief and powerful, yet enough to shock everyone present.
At this moment, a ninja rushed into the tent with an excited look on his face, almost shouting a report: “Captain! The Cloud Village has really been defeated! We…we won!”
Hinata Yuto stood up suddenly, a gleam of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and then turned into ecstasy.
He realized that the scene in which Sakuya fought fiercely with the Eight-Tails and pushed it back was actually real!
This idea shocked and impressed him, and he thought to himself: “Incredible!”
Seeing this, Uchiha Xuanjing curled up a smile, as if he was already aware of Sakuya’s strength.
He coughed lightly, attracting everyone’s attention, and then slowly said:
“Captain Hyuga, I think you have guessed that the earth-shattering battle just now was caused by Lord Sakuya. However, the Uchiha clan has never been a dictatorial clan. Sakuya specifically asked me to tell you that if the Hyuga clan encounters any trouble in the future, they can come to the Uchiha clan for help.”
After these words were spoken, the tent fell into a brief silence again, followed by a flurry of discussions.
A complex emotion flashed in Hinata Yuto’s eyes. He was well aware of the strength and status of the Uchiha clan. Such a promise was undoubtedly a deep friendship.
However, just as everyone was still immersed in shock and joy, Uchiha Xuanjing’s figure suddenly became blurred, and then turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated into the air.
Hinata Yuto’s face turned dark, and then he realized that the person he had just talked to was actually Uchiha Genkyō’s shadow clone!
“This…” Hinata Yuto couldn’t help but smile bitterly, and he was even more impressed by the Uchiha clan’s methods.
He lowered his head in deep thought, the idea of ​​uniting with the Uchiha clan surging in his heart.
Such an ally will undoubtedly bring great help to the Hyuga clan.
But then, he remembered the last words mentioned by Uchiha Genkyō – “The Eight-Tails Jinchūriki was captured by Sakuya?”
“The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki…was captured by Sakuya?”
Hinata Yuuto muttered to himself, and the surrounding ninjas were also shocked and cast questioning looks at him.
They knew what this meant – Konoha’s strength had been greatly enhanced again, while Kumogakure had suffered an unprecedented blow.
At this moment, Hinata Yuto deeply felt the cruelty and unpredictability of the battlefield.
He realized that he had to pass the news back to the village as soon as possible so that the clan could make a decision.
“The Uchiha clan…it seems like a huge change has really taken place.”
Hinata Yuto took a deep breath and began to think about the future relationship with the Uchiha clan and how Konoha should deal with the upcoming chaos.
As the heavy wooden door slammed open, an atmosphere of urgency that could not be ignored instantly filled the entire conference room.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen had a solemn look in his eyes and exchanged a deep look with Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En. The three of them felt as if a huge rock was pressing on their hearts.
The report just now from the front line was like thunder, making the already tense nerves even more tense – the reinforcements from Kumogakure were actually the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee!
“The power of the Eight-Tails is extraordinary. Even Sakuya would find it difficult to match its Tailed Beast form.”
The Third Hokage’s voice was deep and powerful, but it could not hide the worry in his heart.
Danzo sneered on the side, with an imperceptible curve at the corner of his mouth, as if he had foreseen all this and was looking forward to the good show that was about to take place.
Chapter 31: Shuo Ye deserted the battlefield? He must be punished! (Old version)
“Although Sakuya is quite powerful, he is no match for the tailed beasts.”
Danzo’s words were a bit harsh, but not without reason. Everyone’s faces darkened when they heard it. It seemed that this battle was destined to be difficult from the beginning.
Just as everyone was immersed in worry, a ninja rushed in and broke the silence in the room:
“Reporting to Lord Hokage, Lord Sakuya has returned and is currently in the Uchiha clan’s territory.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the conference room froze instantly.
The Third Hokage, Utatane Koharu, and Mito Kado En looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
Shuo Ye, actually came back at this time? Could it be that… he chose to escape from the battlefield?
“What?! How could he come back so soon? Could it be…”
The Third Hokage’s brows furrowed even tighter, and an ominous premonition quietly rose in his heart.
Danzo looked very proud, as if he had finally gotten the opportunity he had been waiting for:
“Humph, just as I expected, this kid is unreliable at the critical moment, he must have escaped. He must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!”
Having said that, Danzo stood up and signaled the Third Hokage to go to the Uchiha clan’s territory with him. He had already figured out in his mind how to benefit from this turmoil.
The group hurried to the Uchiha clan’s territory. The ninjas along the way cast confused and shocked looks at them, and discussions arose one after another.
They couldn’t understand why at such a critical moment, Sakuya would choose to return to his clan instead of staying at the front line.
In the Uchiha clan’s territory, the deep night sky is as dark as ink, dotted with stars. The starlight shines on the ancient and magnificent buildings of the clan’s territory, exuding a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.
The moonlight fell on the bluestone path, as if adding a layer of mystery to what was about to happen.
Shuo Ye sat on a tall wooden chair, looking solemn. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk’s as he stared at the tribesmen in front of him, listening to their reports about “Feng”.
The names of Uchiha Genkyō and Uchiha Rin kept echoing in his mind. They were two powerful men who had reached the pinnacle of armament Haki. Their strength was almost comparable to that of the Kage.
Imagining them fighting like a tiger descending from a mountain, unstoppable, Sakuya couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile.
“The thirteen people who just opened their double magatama Sharingan are all elite jonin.”
A tribesman continued to report, his voice full of excitement, “Their fire escape technique has reached perfection, and they can quickly suppress the enemy in battle and win by surprise.”
Sakuya nodded, the relief in his heart gradually growing.
He knew that the future of the Uchiha clan was in the hands of these young people, and they would become the pioneers in defending the family’s honor.
His eyes swept across these young faces, feeling their potential and vitality, as if he saw the future of the tribe taking root in their hands.
At this moment, a low sound of footsteps was heard outside. Shuo Ye frowned slightly and had a premonition in his heart.
“Sir, the third generation is here,” a figure walked quickly into the conference room with a nervous look on his face. He seemed to be about to say something, but was interrupted by Sakuya raising his hand.
“I already know that.”
Sakuya chuckled, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly, “It seems that Lord Hokage has misunderstood something, so I will go and explain it to him in person.”
After saying that, Sakuya walked forward.
Outside the Uchiha clan’s territory, the night was as dark as ink and the wind was cold, but it could not conceal the tension and gunpowder in the air.
Under the moonlight, Danzo and his group stood in front with solemn expressions, behind them were the stern Root ninjas, and opposite them were the elites of the Uchiha clan. Clan leader Fugaku stood shoulder to shoulder with several elders, their eyes showing both determination and barely perceptible mockery.
“Humph, that brat Sakuya actually dared to escape at the critical moment. He is simply a disgrace to Konoha!”
Danzo’s voice was deep and powerful, and every word was like a hammer, intended to break the will of the Uchiha clan.
He looked around, thinking he had won, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen stood beside Danzo with a frown on his face. Although he did not agree directly, his complicated eyes seemed to reveal his dissatisfaction with Sakuya’s behavior. For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
However, at this tense moment, a slight sound of footsteps broke the silence. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man slowly walking into the center of the battlefield. The moonlight was shining on his body, and it was Uchiha Sakuya.
There was a faint smile on his face, and his eyes were shining with a light that could not be ignored, like the brightest star in the night sky.
“Oh my, what a brilliant script, Danzo-sama.”
Sakuya’s voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone, with a hint of subtle sarcasm and confidence.
He looked around, and wherever his eyes fell, whether it was Danzo, the Third Hokage or the members of the Uchiha clan, they were all stunned, and then showed surprise on their faces.
“You…you dare to come back!” Danzo’s eyes were wide open with anger. He obviously did not expect Sakuya to show up at this moment, and he did not expect his attitude to be so calm.
Chapter 32: Terrifying Promotion! All members have three magatama! (Old version)
Shuo Ye chuckled, without moving, but it seemed as if an invisible force emanated from his body, causing the surrounding space to tremble.
He slowly raised his right hand, palm facing outward, and a powerful chakra surged out like a tide, instantly sweeping across the entire battlefield, causing dust to fly and leaves to flutter all around.
“It seems that Danzo-sama has misunderstood me. I, Sakuya, never avoid any battle, and I will never let my companions in the village bear the blame for me.”
As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a fierce murderous aura instantly locked onto Danzo, as if it could tear him apart in the next second.
All around, whether it was the Root ninjas or the Uchiha clan members, they were all stunned by this sudden turn of events.
They had never seen such powerful chakra fluctuations, nor had they seen anyone release such amazing momentum in such a short period of time.
Even the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn’t help but nod secretly, and his evaluation of Sakuya increased again.
“Humph, I underestimated you.”
Danzo snorted coldly, then formed seals with his hands, preparing to launch an attack.
However, just as he was about to take action, an even more powerful force descended from the sky and enveloped the entire battlefield. It was… Uchiha Fugaku’s Mangekyō Sharingan.
With Sakuya’s cold laugh, the atmosphere on the battlefield instantly dropped to freezing point.
“Fugaku, are you going to protect this kid too?”
Danzo’s face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip from it.
“All three magatama are fully opened…”
The Third Hokage muttered to himself, his eyes sweeping over the newly appeared Uchiha members. Each of them exuded the aura of a strong man that could not be ignored. The light of the Three-magatama Sharingan flickered in the night, as dazzling as stars.
Such power made even him feel a palpitation.
Danzo was furious. He once again loudly accused Sakuya: “You are blatantly rebelling! Uchiha clan, are you going to betray Konoha?”
Sakuya’s eyes were full of disdain. He smiled contemptuously: “Danzo, you keep saying that you are doing this for Konoha, but everything you do is to consolidate your own power. You don’t understand what the real Konoha is, and what true peace is. The Uchiha and the Senju are the cornerstones of Konoha, and you, the Shimura clan, are nothing but the dust of history.”
These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Danzo’s heart hard.
His face was livid and his hands were clenched into fists, as if they would explode at any moment.
However, just as he was about to lose control, the figure who whispered in the Sandai’s ear spoke again, and this time the words were even more shocking.
“Hokage-sama, the news just came that the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki has been successfully captured by us, and the Hidden Cloud Village has been defeated!”
When the Third Hokage heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank and he turned his head to look at Sakuya, his eyes full of disbelief.
The Eight-Tail was captured, a great victory? This news was so shocking that he was speechless for a moment.
“This…how is this possible?”
The voice of the Third Hokage trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of complexity when he looked at Sakuya. Sakuya did not answer directly, but just smiled slightly, and that smile was full of confidence and calmness.
Danzo’s expression became even uglier as he realized that he might have fallen into a huge misunderstanding.
He looked at the Third Hokage, seeking an explanation, but the Third Hokage was no less shocked and confused than he was.
The surrounding ninjas were also in an uproar. They did not expect that this seemingly one-sided conflict would have such a huge turn because of a sudden piece of news.
“It seems that it’s time to end today’s farce.”
Sakuya’s voice rang out in the night sky. He waved his hand lightly, and the surrounding Uchiha members immediately understood and began to slowly shrink the encirclement.
Danzo and his Root Ninjas were caught in a dilemma.
The Third Hokage took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He looked at Danzo and shouted angrily: “Danzo, your action this time was too hasty! Acting on your own before finding out the facts is extremely irresponsible to Konoha.”
Danzo: ???
You want me to take the blame again?
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen’s heart was in turmoil, as he knew very well how important the tailed beasts were to Konoha Village and the entire ninja world.
The tailed beasts are not only powerful fighters, but also the key to the balance between the major ninja villages.
Now, Sakuya has actually captured the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. This is not only a major blow to the Hidden Cloud Village, but also a huge boost to the strength of the Konoha Village.
He looked at Danzo, his eyes full of blame and helplessness.
Danzo wanted to argue, but was stopped by the Third Hokage, who signaled him to remain silent.
The Third Hokage knew very well that every word he said at this moment could become the fuse that triggers a greater conflict.
Seeing this, Sakuya sneered and said slowly:
“You want to quit now? It’s too late! Danzo, you wanted to charge my Uchiha clan with an army for no reason, and now you want to get away with it? Do you really think my Uchiha clan is made of clay?”
The Third Hokage took a deep breath, trying to calm his shock and anger.
He looked at Sakuya and said in a calm tone, “Sakuya, your capture of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is a great achievement for Konoha. As for Danzo, he did act rashly and caused unnecessary misunderstandings. I apologize to you on behalf of Konoha.”
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding ninjas looked at him in shock.
They didn’t expect that the Third Hokage would so directly admit Danzo’s mistake and apologize to Sakuya.
To them, this was simply incredible.
Chapter 33: Accountability for Danzo! Punishment for the Third Hokage! (Old Version)
“It is indeed a misunderstanding.”
Danzo took a deep breath, and the expression on his face was uglier than if he had eaten shit.
He never expected that his carefully planned action would end up like this.
Sakuya sneered, his eyes piercing Danzo: “Misunderstanding? Lord Danzo, you brought so many people to surround the Uchiha ancestral land, and you still say it’s a misunderstanding? You are really thick-skinned.”
Danzo’s face turned pale, but he was speechless. He knew that he had indeed gone too far this time, but things had come to this point, and he could only bite the bullet and bear it.
The Third Hokage saw this and quickly tried to smooth things over, “Sakuya, I know you are unhappy with Danzo’s behavior, but please believe that Konoha Village is a united whole. We will not let any individual or clan be treated unfairly. Let me tell you, you make a condition, and as long as Konoha can do it, we will do our best to satisfy you.”
Upon hearing this, Sakuya raised a playful smile.
He looked at the Third Hokage, his eyes flashing with a deep light: “Conditions? Well, since Lord Hokage said so, then I will not be polite. What I want is Konoha Village’s formal apology to the Uchiha clan, and Lord Danzo’s resignation as the leader of the Root and never interfering in the affairs of the Uchiha clan again.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire battlefield fell into silence again.
Everyone was shocked by Sakuya’s bold request. They didn’t expect that Sakuya would put forward such harsh conditions.
Danzo’s face was livid and his fists were clenched tightly, as if he would explode at any time.
Hearing this, Sakuya raised a faint smile. He glanced at Danzo, his eyes full of disdain and contempt.
“Danzo-sama’s roots are like trash, they only know how to hide in the dark and do shameful things. It would be a real tragedy if Konoha’s resources continue to be wasted in their hands.”
His words were direct and sharp, piercing Danzo’s pain mercilessly.
Danzo’s face instantly turned livid. He glared at Sakuya, his voice trembling with anger: “You! How dare you insult me ​​like this! I will never give you the resources of the Root!”
The Third Hokage saw this and quickly stepped in to stop it. He knew very well that the tense situation at the moment would not allow for any sparks.
He looked at Sakuya, his eyes showing both compromise and warning: “Sakuya, your request is indeed a bit excessive, but considering your contribution to Konoha, I am willing to negotiate with you on behalf of Konoha. Regarding the resources of the Root, we can give you a part, but definitely not half. This is Konoha’s bottom line.”
Sakuya nodded slightly, seemingly not surprised by Sandai’s answer.
“Well, part is part. It’s better than nothing.”
There was a hint of teasing in his words.
However, at this moment, the Third Hokage changed the subject and made another request: “But, Sakuya, you must hand over the Eight-Tails to Konoha. The Eight-Tails is a tailed beast and a powerful strategic weapon. It should not be left in the hands of any one clan, but should be managed and used by Konoha Village. Only in this way can the safety and stability of Konoha be ensured.”
Everyone looked at the Third Hokage in shock; they didn’t expect the Third Hokage to make such a request.
There was a hint of sarcasm on Sakuya’s face. He naturally knew the importance of the Eight-Tails.
No wonder Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed to the previous conditions so readily and has been waiting for me here for such a long time.
“Hokage-sama, are you kidding me?”
Sakuya’s voice was indifferent. “The Eight-Tails was captured by our Uchiha clan with great effort. Are you asking us to just hand it over to the village? Really?”
The Third Hokage took a deep breath and spoke:
“Sakuya, I know your concerns. But please believe that Konoha Village will properly arrange the Eight-Tails to ensure that it will not become the private property of any clan. Moreover, under the protection of Konoha, the Eight-Tails will be able to better exert its power and contribute to the peace and prosperity of Konoha.”
The atmosphere became stagnant again, with tension and uneasiness filling the air.
The surrounding ninjas cast complicated looks at him.
“Hahaha!”
Sakuya’s laughter sounded particularly harsh in the silent night sky; it was a mixture of sarcasm and disdain.
He looked around, his eyes moving between Danzo and the Third Hokage, as if everything was under his control.
“Third generation, you really made a good deal.”
When Danzo heard this, a cunning light flashed in his eyes.
He was secretly delighted, thinking this was a great opportunity.
Even if the Root lost half of its supplies, if it could take advantage of this opportunity to gain control of the Eight-Tails, it would undoubtedly be a huge fortune.
He looked towards the Third Hokage, seemingly waiting for a clear instruction.
However, the Third Hokage’s expression was extremely solemn.
If the Uchiha clan truly mastered the power of the tailed beasts, it would pose a huge threat to the stability of Konoha.
But he also knew that he could not openly force Uchiha to hand over the Eight-Tails, as that would only lead to greater conflict.
Fugaku and other Uchiha members frowned, they felt unprecedented pressure.
They understood that the situation had reached a dead end, and it seemed that there was no other way except to hand over the Eight-Tails.
However, their hearts were filled with resentment and anger.
Just when the atmosphere was about to reach a boiling point, Sakuya spoke again. Although his voice was soft, it exploded in everyone’s heart like thunder.
“Third Hokage, are you serious when you say that I, the Uchiha, cannot protect the Eight-Tails? And about this strategic weapon matter, the Nine-Tails matter, are you really clueless?”
As soon as these words came out, the Third Hokage’s face turned pale instantly and his pupils shrank sharply.
Chapter 34: The Furious Cloud Village! Sending Envoys to Konoha! (Old Version)
Sakuya chuckled, as if he could see through the Third Hokage’s thoughts.
“Third Hokage, don’t worry. The Uchiha clan is not ignorant of the importance of the matter. The power of the Eight-Tails is naturally the power of the village. However, when to hand it over depends on the mood of the Uchiha clan.”
There was a hint of playfulness in his words, as if he was challenging the authority of the Third Generation.
But he immediately changed the subject and his tone became softer.
“I believe that the Third Hokage will not make things difficult for a hero who has just returned from the battlefield, right? After all, our Uchiha clan is also an indispensable part of Konoha Village.”
The Third Hokage’s expression became even uglier when he heard this.
He knew very well that Sakuya was using the secret of the Nine-Tails as a bargaining chip to force him to make concessions.
However, he had no choice but to agree to it.
“Sakuya, don’t worry, Konoha Village will respect every hero who has contributed to the village. We will discuss the matter of the Eight-Tails later.”
The Third Hokage’s expression was extremely gloomy.
Sakuya’s words gave Konoha a seemingly hopeful step, but also cleverly put it in an awkward position – because everyone knew that the Uchiha clan’s mood was probably never very good.
“Humph, what a great Uchiha Sakuya, what a clever trick.”
The Third Hokage cursed in his heart, but on the surface he could only force a smile and had a polite but empty conversation with Sakuya.
He understood that any radical action at this moment might cause unnecessary conflict and even plunge the village into a deeper crisis.
Seeing this, the surrounding ninjas cast complicated looks at him. Some were shocked at Sakuya’s wisdom, while others were puzzled and disappointed with the Third Hokage’s compromise.
“Sarutobi!”
Danzo stood aside, his expression even uglier than the Third Hokage’s.
His heart was filled with regret and anger. He felt like a clown being played around by Sakuya. He had given away half of the Root’s supplies in vain, but gained nothing in return.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms.
At the same time, the Fourth Raikage Ai of the Hidden Cloud Village was fiddling with the scroll on the table angrily. The news about the Eight-Tails ignited the anger in his heart like a flame.
He slammed his fist on the table, and the wooden table made a “crackling” sound, as if even the table was disturbed by his anger.
The surrounding ninjas looked at each other, and the air was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.
“This is a provocation to us!”
Ai roared, his voice deafening, as if he wanted to vent his anger on the entire Konoha Village.
“We can’t stand this any longer! We must immediately send a letter to Konoha, demanding they hand over the Eight-Tails, or we will break with them at all costs!”
“But Lord Raikage, we suffered heavy losses this time. Perhaps we can try to negotiate first—”
A ninja spoke cautiously, but the Raikage’s anger instantly suppressed his voice.
“negotiation?”
Ai smiled coldly, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
“They don’t take us seriously at all! Sakuya’s actions have clearly told us that the Uchiha are uncontrollable, and we can’t let them continue to act recklessly!”
Inside the Hokage Building, the atmosphere was heavy and depressing. The Third Hokage sat at the head of the group, his brows furrowed as if he could squeeze water out of them. He looked around at the high-level officials below and said in a heavy voice:
“The behavior of the Uchiha clan is becoming more and more intolerable. Not only did they act on their own, they also captured the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure but refused to hand it over to the village. This is simply a provocation to the entire Konoha!”
Upon hearing this, Danzo sneered. He deliberately raised his voice and pointed the finger at the Third Hokage:
“Hokage, you have to take responsibility! The Uchiha’s actions this time have put the entire village in a passive position. Our efforts to isolate the Uchiha are about to fail. You are to blame for this!”
His words were full of provocation, and he was obviously still upset about the Third Hokage’s compromise in front of Sakuya and the loss of his own Root supplies.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding ninjas exchanged shocked and complicated looks, and the entire conference room fell into a brief silence.
The Third Hokage rubbed his temple and seemed to have a headache.
He knew very well that Danzo’s accusations were not groundless, but at the moment he was more concerned about how to calm the anger of Kumogakure and how to deal with the thorny issue of Uchiha.
“Danzo, I understand your concerns, but even though the Eight-Tails is in Sakuya’s hands, we cannot directly control it. The most important thing now is the attitude of Kumogakure. We must respond with caution.”
When everyone heard this, they began to discuss the matter, with different opinions.
Some people advocated handing over the Uchiha as a sign of sincerity and avoiding war; others believed that doing so would only make the Uchiha more arrogant and they must be severely punished.
The atmosphere in the conference room became increasingly tense, as if a heated debate would break out at any moment.
At this moment, a voice broke the deadlock: “We can’t be passive like this anymore. The Uchiha have begun to get out of our control, and we must take action. However, it is not wise to confront the Uchiha directly. We can consider seeking help from outside forces.”
The one who spoke was Utane Koharu. Although her words were calm, they revealed an unquestionable firmness.
Chapter 35: The Battle of Hyuga! The Meeting of Two Powerful Families! (Old Version)
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him, curiosity and expectation flashing in their eyes.
The Third Hokage pondered for a moment and nodded: “Your suggestion makes sense, but we must carefully choose external forces, which should be able to check and balance the Uchiha, while not putting Konoha in a more dangerous situation.”
The atmosphere in the conference room became tense and subtle again, and everyone began to discuss in low voices.
The Third Hokage and Danzo exchanged meaningful looks, as if they had guessed each other’s plans.
“Bait…Eye-white?”
He tapped the table lightly, a hint of gloom flashing in Danzo’s eyes.
In the Uchiha clan’s secret training ground, the figures of Sakuya and Itachi stretched out in the setting sun. Their movements were swift and coordinated, and every clash of fists and feet contained superb fighting skills.
“good!”
Sakuya’s eyes were full of approval for Itachi.
“Itachi, your progress is beyond my imagination. With your current strength, you are already comparable to a Chunin.”
Sakuya’s voice was deep and powerful, with a hint of barely perceptible satisfaction, “Give you another year or two, and you will definitely become a member of the ‘Feng’ and contribute your strength to the Uchiha clan.”
“yes!”
When Itachi heard this, a look of determination and expectation flashed in his eyes.
He knew that all these achievements were inseparable from Sakuya’s guidance.
More importantly, Sakuya made him see another possibility, a path that transcends the traditional will of fire and pursues self-and family glory.
Just as the two were immersed in the joy of practice, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted the tranquility.
Uchiha Xuanjing came hurriedly and reported a shocking news with a solemn look:
“Lord Sakuya, the Third Hokage has reached a reconciliation agreement with the Hidden Cloud Village, and the Hidden Cloud Village’s envoys are on their way to Konoha.”
Upon hearing this, Shuo Ye curled up his lips in a sneer, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
“Third generation, third generation, it really has come to this. But this time, I’m afraid your plan will fail.”
He pondered in his heart, and then instructed Xuan Jing: “Tell Shisui that his mission is over. Let him return quickly. I need to go to the Hyuga family.”
The Hyuga family, as another powerful family in Konoha, has always been feared by major families for its Byakugan ability.
Among them, the one who covets his abilities the most is the Hidden Cloud Village.
The news soon reached the Hokage Building. When the Third Hokage and others learned that Sakuya was going to the Hyuga family, their faces changed.
“What is Sakuya doing at the Hyuga household… We have to speed up!”
The Third Hokage said in a deep voice, with a flash of determination in his eyes, “We can’t let Sakuya and the Hyuga family join forces.”
In the Hyuga family’s meeting hall, the atmosphere was particularly solemn due to the battle reports coming from the front line.
Hinata Hiashi sat side by side with his younger brother Hinata Hizashi, brows furrowed, obviously worried about the amazing performance that Sakuya had recently demonstrated.
“The storm is coming,”
Hinata Hiashi said in a deep voice, “The power of the Uchiha seems to be stronger than we expected. I’m afraid the village can no longer accommodate them.”
Hizashi nodded in agreement, then changed the subject and mentioned the upcoming visit of the Kumogakure delegation.
“The envoys from Kumogakure are about to arrive. As their mortal enemy, we, the Hyuga clan, must act more cautiously and not give Kumogakure any excuse to attack.”
Just as the two were discussing countermeasures, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, followed by the guard’s report:
“Clan leader, Uchiha Sakuya is here to visit!”
When these words were spoken, Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi were both shocked. They looked at each other, their hearts full of confusion.
Sakuya? What is he doing here?
“Let him in,”
Hinata Hiashi made a quick decision, but then changed his mind, “No, we will go and greet the new Uchiha clan leader ourselves.”
The two men straightened their clothes and walked out of the meeting room, feeling both wary and curious.
At the same time, in a corner of the meeting room, Hinata was hiding quietly behind the screen, with a pair of curious eyes looking through the gap, shyly and nervously at the upcoming meeting.
She had never seen Sakuya, but she was already familiar with the name.
Especially today, when she accidentally met Sakuya’s eyes, the unprecedented feeling made her heart beat faster and her cheeks flushed.
Sakuya, the legendary ruthless new Uchiha clan leader, was standing in the courtyard at this moment, exuding an indescribable majesty and momentum.
He seemed to sense something, and suddenly looked sideways in the direction of Hinata, with a barely perceptible smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
“Little guy, peeking is not a good habit.”
Sakuya’s voice was gentle yet powerful, but it was enough to make Hinata’s heart tremble.
She hurriedly lowered her head, clasping her clothes with both hands, the blush on her cheeks almost seeming to bleed.
At this moment, Shuo Ye seemed to have noticed something and suddenly chuckled:
“Chief Rizu, Deputy Chief Rishi, you two are in such a good mood that you are spying on me from behind. This is not the way to treat guests.”
Sakuya’s voice echoed in the courtyard, clear and firm, directly pointing out the hiding locations of Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi.
The two men’s faces suddenly changed. Besides being shocked, they were more in awe of Sakuya’s amazing perception.
Chapter 36: Yunyin’s plan! Secret attack! (Old version)
They knew very well that the Byakugan was the bloodline limit of the Hyuga clan and its insight was rarely matched in the ninja world. But now it was so easily seen through by Sakuya, which forced them to re-examine the strength of the new Uchiha clan leader.
“Sakuya, your perception is truly amazing.”
Hinata Hiashi spoke first, his tone full of admiration and caution, “I wonder what brings you here?”
Sakuya smiled slightly, his attitude was calm and sincere, which was very different from the cold image in the rumors.
“I just came to visit the Hyuga clan, I have no other intentions.”
He said slowly, “Hyuga and Uchiha are two major families in Konoha with precious bloodlines. They should respect each other and help each other. I came here today to show some goodwill and remind the Hyuga clan that the situation is complicated and they need to be careful.”
After saying that, Shuo Ye changed the subject, his tone becoming more sincere and inviting:
“I still say the same thing. If the Hyuga clan encounters any difficulties in the future, you may come to the Uchiha clan. We will do our best to help you.”
After saying this, he nodded slightly, as if he had accomplished the purpose of this trip, and then turned around and was about to leave.
These words made the Hyuga members present look at each other in surprise, feeling both surprised and warm in their hearts.
They never thought that there would be such a harmonious scene between Uchiha and Hyuga.
However, Sakuya’s seemingly casual reminder made them more alert to the coming storm.
Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi exchanged complicated glances, secretly guessing Sakuya’s true intentions.
They knew that the young Uchiha clan leader would never come here for a visit without a reason, and would not easily show goodwill.
Every move he made seemed to imply a deeper intention.
However, Sakuya had already left, leaving behind only his meaningful smile and a simple but meaningful sentence.
He was secretly satisfied in his heart. Although he had not taken any substantial action on this trip, it was enough to sow the seeds of suspicion in the hearts of Konoha’s high-ranking officials, especially the Third Hokage. He was looking forward to seeing what choice the shrewd Third Hokage would make in the end.
On the other side, the Hidden Cloud Ninja has already started negotiations with the Third Generation and others.
“Konoha provoked the war this time and captured the Eight-Tails for no reason. They must make compensation! Otherwise, wait for a full-scale war with our Hidden Cloud Village!”
As the words of the Cloud Hidden Village delegation representative became more and more aggressive, the atmosphere in the conference room instantly dropped to freezing point.
They unceremoniously put forward a series of harsh conditions, requiring Konoha to not only pay high compensation, but also to unconditionally release the captured Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.
These demands were simply an insult to Konoha and extremely ridiculous, but Konoha didn’t dare to turn the table.
The Third Hokage sat in the main seat with a frown on his face and a serious expression.
He knew very well that Yunyin’s visit was not well-intentioned, but he did not expect the other party to be so direct and tough.
Not only did he put forward a series of harsh conditions, he also demanded that Konoha pay high financial compensation and even unconditionally release the captured Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.
These demands were like huge rocks thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Faced with these unreasonable requests, he could only suppress his anger and responded in a calm tone: “We Konoha need time to consider your proposals. Please allow us to discuss it next time.”
Danzo and other Konoha high-ranking officials looked livid as they listened to this, and secretly cursed the arrogance of Kumogakure in their hearts.
Danzo was even more furious. If the current priority was not to weaken the power of the Uchiha clan, he would have immediately ordered the expulsion of this group of arrogant people, even at the cost of a fight.
After the members of the Kumogakure delegation left, the Konoha ninjas in the conference room began to whisper and discuss among themselves.
Some young ninjas were angry at the arrogant attitude of Kumogakure, while some experienced ninjas analyzed the situation worriedly, fearing that Kumogakure’s toughness would lead to an unnecessary war.
The subordinates cautiously asked the leader of Kumogakure: “Sir, are we too strong? After all, Konoha is the leader of the five great nations, and its strength should not be underestimated.”
Upon hearing this, the team leader wiped the sweat from his forehead and seemed a little nervous, but he quickly calmed down and whispered:
“Whether Konoha agrees to these conditions is actually not important. Our goal is not these things.”
“Then what is our real purpose?” asked the subordinate puzzledly.
The leader’s eyes were stern, and he lowered his voice and said, “Our main task is to find opportunities to capture the Byakugan heirs of the Hyuga clan and the elite descendants of the Uchiha clan. These are what Lord Ai values ​​most.”
“If Konoha doesn’t give it to us, we have to take it ourselves!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the subordinates around were all startled and cast shocked looks at him.
They didn’t expect that Kumogakure’s trip actually had such a far-reaching plot. Someone couldn’t help but ask worriedly: “Sir, why are you targeting the Uchiha clan? They have no direct conflict with Kumogakure.”
The leader glanced at him coldly and warned: “Don’t ask questions that you shouldn’t ask. You just need to know that this is Lord Ai’s order and we must execute it unconditionally.”
The words of the Cloud Village leader were like an icy blade that cut through the tranquility in the air and made the Cloud Village ninjas present feel a chill in their hearts.
They looked at each other, complex emotions flashing in their eyes – nervousness about the upcoming secret mission and awe of the unknown opponent.
“When do we start?” After a moment’s silence, someone mustered up the courage and asked cautiously.
The leader pondered for a moment, then looked through the window in a certain direction of Konoha, where the Uchiha clan was stationed.
“Another team has arrived.”
He answered briefly, his tone revealing an unquestionable determination.
“Immediately, the sooner the better. We will hold the Third Hokage and his men here until the other team succeeds, and then we will evacuate immediately.”
As the leader’s order was given, the Cloud Ninjas acted quickly, their figures moving through the night as silently as ghosts.
Chapter 37: Sharingan and Byakugan, I want both! (Old version)
At the same time, Itachi was directing Sasuke and his companions in high-intensity training in the forest with mottled shadows of trees.
The sun shone through the dense leaves onto them, and a gentle breeze blew through them.
There was a flaming fighting spirit in Sasuke’s eyes as he kept trying to use his fire escape technique.
However, this peace did not last long.
“This is…”
Itachi suddenly stopped and frowned slightly, as if he sensed something was wrong.
He caught the chakra fluctuation in the distance that did not belong to Konoha.
The chakra contained strong hostility and threats, which made his heart tighten and he felt that something bad was about to happen.
“Everyone stop!” Itachi’s voice was like thunder, instantly breaking the calm of the training. His expression became serious, and his eyes revealed a sense of crisis that could not be ignored.
Sasuke was stunned, the flame in his hand instantly extinguished, and he looked at Itachi with confusion, “What’s wrong?”
“The enemy is approaching, we must evacuate immediately.”
Itachi’s eyes were slightly cold, and he spoke calmly.
Just as they were about to move, a strong chakra fluctuation filled the air, and several figures flashed from the woods like ghosts, turning into blurry shadows, and surrounded them in an instant.
Those senior ninjas dressed in the uniforms of the Kumogakure Ninja had grim faces and ruthless murderous intent in their eyes, like a pack of hungry wolves eyeing their prey.
“It’s you guys indeed.”
The leading Kumogakure special jonin had a sinister smile on his face and his eyes wandered over Itachi and Sasuke, as if he had already seen their ending.
“Little boy, just follow us.”
Hearing this, Itachi adjusted his state instantly, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
He knew that this battle was inevitable. He took a deep breath, as if he could feel the tension in the air. The trees around him seemed to feel the uneasiness as well, trembling slightly.
“retreat!”
Itachi’s voice was deep and powerful as he commanded his companions.
He moved quickly, his figure like a black shadow, rushing towards the enemy.
“Fire Style! Phoenix Flower Technique!”
Chakra instantly condensed between his fingers, and along with his nimble figure, vortexes of fire emerged and swept towards the enemy.
“You dare to resist!” The special jonin of Yunyin was slightly stunned, then roared angrily, and a bolt of lightning condensed in his hand, heading straight for Itachi.
Lightning exploded in the air, making a sharp roar, but Itachi had already predicted all of this. He dodged to the side and accurately avoided the attack. At the same time, he used the force to leap and instantly killed the enemy.
“Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!” Itachi roared, and flames gushed out, devouring his enemy.
The air was instantly burned by the heat, and as the flames danced, it seemed that even the surrounding air was burning.
The smile on the face of the Cloud Village Special Jonin suddenly disappeared, replaced by shock and horror.
He didn’t expect that this young Genin would possess such terrifying strength. This one move alone was enough to threaten his life!
He hurriedly used all his chakra to protect his body, then quickly retreated.
But as soon as he raised his foot, he noticed something unusual.
Itachi had a cruel smile on his face. He swung his left arm suddenly, and a long, sharp black blade whizzed out, drawing an arc and shooting straight towards the chest of the special Jonin of Kumogakure!
“Ah… Damn it!” The Hidden Cloud Ninja Special Ninja roared in anger, quickly put his hands together, and a dazzling golden lightning suddenly appeared.
He used all his strength to push forward fiercely. The powerful lightning was like a blade, striking the sharp blade and colliding with it.
“Bang–!”
The two huge forces collided with each other, making a violent explosion. The golden and red lights intertwined, illuminating the forest at night. The violent air waves spread in all directions, breaking trees and shattering rocks.
In the smoke and dust, Sasuke took advantage of the situation to chase after the enemy, throwing the kunai in his hand at him fiercely.
Although the enemy blocked Itachi’s sneak attack, he could no longer care about anything else because Sasuke had quietly sneaked up behind him.
The enemy turned around and blocked with his backhand. Sasuke jumped onto the enemy’s shoulder, locked the enemy’s neck tightly with his legs, clenched his fists, and smashed down on the enemy’s head without hesitation.
“Snap! Snap!”
The sound of bones breaking rang out in the silent forest. The enemy let out a shrill scream, his body shaking and almost falling down.
Sasuke kicked his enemy away and stood there breathing heavily.
The enemy’s head was completely twisted and deformed, blood mixed with brain matter flowed out of his wound. He opened his eyes wide, filled with pain and despair, and fell to the ground without a sound.
“Good job, Sasuke.”
Itachi smiled with relief.
Itachi tilted his head slightly, his eyes scanning the surroundings like a hawk, quickly analyzing the current situation in his mind.
Those Hidden Cloud Ninjas were as ferocious as wolves and tigers, intent on catching them all in one fell swoop.
He knew that he could not deal with such a large number of enemies by his own strength alone and had to adopt a more clever strategy.
A hint of fighting spirit ignited in his heart. Since they were at a disadvantage in numbers, he should take this as an opportunity to take advantage of their arrogance and underestimation of the enemy and launch a counterattack.
Chapter 38 Itachi’s Kaleidoscope! Is Hiashi going to die? (Old version)
“If we can create chaos within the enemy ranks, we may find a chance to win.”
Itachi thought to himself, and then he began to use the techniques of the Marine Six Styles to move nimbly on the battlefield.
His figure was like a gust of wind, shuttling between the enemies in an instant, making the Hidden Cloud Ninjas dazzled.
“How is it possible…” The leading Cloud Village special jonin was shocked. The young man in front of him actually displayed his fighting skills to the fullest.
A hint of disbelief appeared on his cold face, but it was immediately replaced by anger and murderous intent.
“Kill him! Our corpse can be used as well!” the special jonin roared, commanding his men to surround Itachi and try to suppress him.
However, Itachi’s figure flashed like smoke and he easily avoided the attack, as if he did not belong to this space at all.
At the same time, Sasuke was not idle either. He held the kunai tightly, ready to support Itachi at any time.
However, the situation is changing rapidly.
The moment he turned around, several figures pounced on him like ghosts, blocking his retreat.
The enemy’s target obviously turned to Sasuke, and there was a fierce light in his eyes, as if he saw the despair of his prey.
“Sasuke, be careful!”
Itachi’s heart tightened and he shouted urgently, but it was too late. The Hidden Cloud Ninjas came like a tide, and Sasuke was forced to face more and more powerful pressure.
His heart was filled with anxiety, as if time had stopped at this moment. The sounds around him became distant, and only the sound of his heartbeat echoed in his ears.
“I can’t let Sasuke get hurt!”
The anxiety in Itachi’s heart burned like a flame. In an instant, his blood-red pupils flashed with a strange light. The air around him seemed to solidify at this moment. The flow of time became slow and clear in Itachi’s eyes.
A hint of scarlet suddenly bloomed in his eyes!
Mangekyō Sharingan…open!
“Die!” Itachi muttered in a low voice, his eyes locked on the leading Cloud Village special jonin. In an instant, the flashing red light seemed to turn into a sharp blade, piercing the enemy’s mental defenses.
The eyes of the special jonin were dull for a moment, his consciousness was deeply devoured, and he collapsed to the ground powerlessly, his forehead covered with cold sweat.
“You…what are you doing…”
He struggled in pain and realized that he had fallen into Itachi’s illusion and couldn’t extricate himself.
His companions were also affected at this moment, and fell into chaos, like chess pieces that had lost their backbone, allowing Itachi to lead them.
The massacre…begins!
A moment later, as the dust of the battle settled, the air was filled with a thick smell of blood and tension.
Someone gasped, breaking the brief silence, with a hint of uneasiness and confusion in his voice: “These… these dead Kumogakure ninjas, what should we do with them?”
Itachi’s eyes swept over the enemies lying on the ground. Their faces were distorted, and their eyes were full of unwillingness and despair. He was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: “Let’s go find the clan leader, he will find a way to deal with it.”
Although his voice was calm, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Sakuya, as a special operations member of Konoha Village, is not only highly powerful, but also has rich experience in handling such matters.
They believed that in Sakuya’s hands, the bodies of these Kumogakure ninjas would be properly dealt with.
At the same time, in another corner of Konoha Village, Hyuga Hiashi was clenching his fists, staring at the scene in front of him with sharp eyes.
The bodies of several Kumogakure ninjas were scattered on the ground. One of them even tried to reach out and grab Hyuga Hinata who was not far away. Although he was dead, his ferocious expression and outstretched hand still made people feel creepy.
Hinata Hiashi’s face was extremely ugly. He knew very well that the raid on the Hidden Cloud Village was no accident and there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it. Recalling Sakuya’s reminder before, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of regret in his heart.
Sakuya had repeatedly stressed the need to strengthen the village’s defenses and raise vigilance, but he thought it was just groundless worry and never expected that danger would come so quickly.
“Things…are really difficult to handle.”
Looking at several Kumogakure ninjas approaching rapidly from a distance, Hinata Hiashi muttered to himself, his voice full of helplessness and worry.
Not long after, in the dim conference room of the Hokage Building, the air seemed to be compressed to the point where it could hardly flow.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen sat behind a high conference table, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with anxiety and heaviness.
He looked at the raging figure of the Kumogakure representative opposite him. The latter’s anger and determination were like a burning flame, reflecting the embarrassment and disappointment in the heart of the Third Generation.
“Our ninjas were seriously injured in Konoha and several are missing. We must get an explanation!”
The Hidden Cloud Village representative’s roar echoed throughout the office, and his spittle even splashed onto Danzo’s face.
“Yunyin, we gave you a chance to cooperate, not to let you blame us here!”
The third generation finally couldn’t bear it anymore, and his tone was mixed with anger and helplessness.
However, the representative of the Hidden Cloud Village smiled coldly, with disdain flashing in his eyes: “Third Hokage, you’d better think it through first. If this matter cannot satisfy us, then let’s continue the war!”
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. The atmosphere instantly froze, as if even the air had become thinner with his departure.
Koharu Utane and others on the side looked at each other, constantly weighing the situation in their minds.
His eyes flickered slightly, breaking the silence: “We can’t tear our faces with Kumogakure anymore, at least we can point the finger at Uchiha and make that brat Sakuya pay the price.”
Chapter 39: Flying Thunder God Technique! Multiple Shadow Clones! (Old Version)
“But is it really worth doing this?” another ninja asked in a low voice, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
“It’s worth it.” Utane Koharu nodded firmly, her eyes as sharp as torches, instantly dispelling the uneasiness in everyone’s hearts.
Not long after, in the Hyuga clan’s courtyard, the atmosphere was equally suffocatingly depressing.
Hinata Hizashi and the Third Hokage, Danzo, sat face to face. The latter’s eyes were full of oppression, as if an invisible boulder was pressing heavily on his heart.
“Hyuga family, for the sake of the village’s overall interests, we must hand over the murderer. You should know this.”
Danzo’s voice was like a knife, piercing people’s hearts.
“But it was obviously… the people from the Hidden Cloud Village who attacked us first. If they didn’t want to capture Hinata, we wouldn’t have…”
Hinata Hiashi’s expression looked grim. He couldn’t help but speak as he looked at the old face of the Third Generation.
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the third generation:
“Hiashi, you should know that for the current Konoha, no matter what the people of Kumogakure do, you should not escalate the conflict and let others catch you.”
As soon as the words fell, the whole courtyard fell silent.
There is no doubt that the Sandaike has made his own decision, otherwise, he would not have come to the Hyuga family in person.
“I am willing to die in place of Hiashi!”
Hinata Hizashi suddenly stood up, his tone firm and his face full of determination.
His voice echoed in the empty courtyard, as if carrying this heavy responsibility.
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Hyuga mansion fell into deathly silence.
Neji’s eyes widened, he couldn’t believe his ears.
Neji’s heart was shocked, and unwillingness and anger intertwined in his heart.
He clenched his fists, and a trace of conflicting pain flashed in his eyes: “Father, you can’t do this!”
“Ningji, listen to me, this is not just for me, but for the future of the Hyuga clan.”
Hizashi took a deep breath, his eyes revealing helplessness and sadness, “If we don’t compromise, it may lead to a greater disaster.”
A satisfied smile appeared on the face of the Third Hokage, as if he saw that a move in his plan had been successfully implemented.
“The blood of the Hyuga clan will never be shed in vain!”
He Yun tried to calm the Hyuga clan.
However, everyone present knew that these promises were nothing but castles in the air and could not conceal the coldness and ruthlessness behind them.
Amid the Third Hokage’s praise, the atmosphere within the Hyuga clan grew increasingly heavy.
Danzo smiled slightly, as if he had expected this scene to happen. With a hint of indifference on the corner of his mouth, he sneered:
“In that case, let’s go to the Uchiha next. I believe they will not be unwilling to make even this little sacrifice for the sake of the village.”
The decision has been made, and the group will soon head to the Uchiha clan.
Hinata Hiashi’s face was still ugly. He knew that the road ahead would be more difficult, but soon, he seemed to have made up his mind.
After the group walked out, he calmly called over a Hyuga member and stuffed a note into his hand. The member froze for a moment, but soon disappeared into the shadows.
Realizing that the breath behind him was quickly fading away, Hinata Hiashi took a deep breath and looked deep.
Sakuya…I hope you won’t let me down.
Sakuya stood on a flat rock, surrounded by the training ground he had built.
The land here is compacted, and there are targets made of wood erected around it, with various targets marked on them, waiting for his challenge.
He took a deep breath and felt the surging chakra in his body constantly gathering.
Today, he planned to combine the Flying Thunder God, Multiple Shadow Clones and Haki that he had previously obtained from the Book of Seals to carry out a unique training.
“First, Flying Thunder God.” Sakuya silently chanted in his heart, stepped on the ground, and instantly turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared on the spot, leaving only a trace of afterimage swaying in the air.
The next moment, his figure appeared on a tree trunk not far away, with his fists clenched and his eyes fixed on the target in front of him.
At this moment, he felt a sense of crisis and a gust of wind suddenly blew from behind him.
He subconsciously dodged to the side and turned into another afterimage, just avoiding the attack.
“You are becoming more and more proficient in the use of your observation Haki.”
A smile appeared on Sakuya’s lips, and he was full of confidence.
He concentrated again, formed seals with his hands, and several figures appeared almost at the same time. This was the technique of multiple shadow clones.
At this moment, his clones were scattered around, like a huge net, covering the surrounding space.
“Next, it’s time to attack.”
Sakuya shouted, and his clones quickly rushed towards the target, waving their fists and creating gusts of wind.
Every punch was accompanied by an explosion of chakra, and the target was shattered in an instant, with wood chips flying everywhere, like petals flying down.
But he was not satisfied with this, and thought to himself: “How can I combine the application of domineering power with the shadow clone to make my attack more powerful?”
He once again concentrated his chakra in his hand, feeling the power flowing in his body, and slowly poured his domineering aura into his fist, forming a black light.
“Armament Haki Entanglement!”
He punched out with all his might, and it was like a bolt of lightning striking down in an instant. The air around him seemed to vibrate at this moment, and all the targets around him turned into pieces under this blow, without any resistance.
“In this way, I should be considered to have stepped into the threshold of the upper Kage level.”
Chapter 40: For the sake of the village? Don’t be kidding! (Old version)
“We must improve our strength as quickly as possible to be invincible.”
Sakuye secretly evaluated in his heart. Although he had many methods, he understood that the ultimate trump card was still the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. Other abilities were only auxiliary, and the skills that could truly kill the enemy were his most important pursuit.
Now the relocation of the clan’s land needs to be pushed forward urgently. The wartime situation is becoming more and more complicated, involving many aspects, especially the issue of family confidentiality, which is of paramount importance.
The front-line ninjas who were watching this scene were all stunned with shock.
Some of them had witnessed Sakuya’s past battles, but the scene before them was far beyond their imagination.
“This… is this Lord Sakuya’s true strength?” A front-line ninja muttered to himself, his eyes full of disbelief.
At this moment, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly appeared and bowed to report.
“Lord Sakuya, everyone has already started training in Armament Haki and Six Styles! And the combined ninjutsu you mentioned is also on track!”
Sakuya raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
“That’s good. I hope they can adapt to this new power as soon as possible.”
Before he finished speaking, Sakuya turned and walked towards the training ground. The sunlight cast a long shadow behind him, just like the storm he was about to bring about.
On the training ground, the young Uchiha ninjas were practicing hard, each showing their hidden talents. Sakuya glanced at the Armament Haki and Rokushiki beside him, feeling secretly pleased.
At this moment, his thoughts involuntarily drifted towards his understanding of domineering.
He discovered that domineering aura is actually a transformation of energy.
Through continuous practice, he has developed a simplified version of Observation Haki, which, although not perfect, is enough to allow the younger generation of Uchiha to feel the changes in power.
The “Hidden” and “Front” teams had clear division of labor under Sakuya’s command.
Shisui, the leader of the Hidden Team, excels at intelligence gathering and lurking, becoming a silent observer of the enemy’s movements.
As for Fugaku of the vanguard, with his outstanding fighting ability, he led his team members to carry out assassinations and became a nightmare to the enemies.
Just as Sakuya was thinking about the next plan, Uchiha Xuanjing suddenly appeared at the entrance of the valley. He brought a piece of news that instantly made the atmosphere tense: “The Third Hokage and the elders of the Hyuga clan have arrived outside the village and request to meet with you.”
The corner of Shuo Ye’s mouth curled up into a cold smile, as if he had expected all this: “Are you finally here? Then go and meet him.”
When Sakuya slowly walked out of the valley and appeared in front of everyone, the Third Hokage and the representatives of the Hyuga clan couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.
After just a few months of not seeing each other, Sakuya’s aura became even deeper and stronger, as if he was standing at a height that they could hardly reach.
The Third Hokage’s eyes were complicated, with both expectation and hesitation. In the end, he mustered up the courage and raised the sensitive topic:
“Sakuya, I know you are devoted to Konoha, but regarding Itachi…for the sake of the overall situation, I hope you can hand him over.”
Upon hearing this, instead of getting angry, Sakuya burst into laughter, with both disdain and helplessness in his laughter:
“Third-sama, you are still so naive. How can you estimate the value of Itachi? Moreover, why should I, Uchiha Sakuya, explain my actions to anyone?”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar all around.
While everyone was shocked, they had to admit Sakuya’s unquestionable momentum and strength.
The Third Hokage’s expression was even more uncertain. He knew very well that he could no longer convince Sakuya with words alone, and the power behind Sakuya also forced him to re-evaluate the current situation.
During this tense confrontation, Sakuya changed the subject, his tone becoming more serious:
“However, my Uchiha clan has never been a selfish family. We also care about the safety of Konoha. It’s just that our way may be different from yours.”
Faced with the double pressure from Danzo and the Third Hokage, Sakuya seemed exceptionally calm.
He shook his head slightly, ignoring Danzo’s accusations, and turned his gaze to the silent Itachi.
“Itachi, now that you think back on your decision to kill Kumogakure, do you regret it?”
Sakuya’s voice was calm and deep, as if it could penetrate people’s hearts.
Itachi’s body trembled slightly when he heard this, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, and finally raised his head firmly and looked directly into Sakuya’s eyes:
“I… don’t regret it, but I was perhaps too impulsive at the time and didn’t consider the more far-reaching consequences. If necessary, I am willing to sacrifice for my family.”
“So, do you think that kind of sacrifice is right?”
Sakuya continued to question, his tone revealing an unquestionable power.
Itachi’s brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be having a fierce inner struggle.
After a moment, Sakuya suddenly interrupted his thoughts and said coldly:
“Itachi, that’s not sacrifice, that’s cowardice, it’s compromise! A truly strong man will never bow to someone who has no reason to believe him!”
Hearing this, Itachi’s pupils shrank suddenly!
Chapter 41 You wait here! I’m going to kill someone! (Old version)
He exhaled deeply, nodded heavily to Shuo Ye, and said:
“I understand, Patriarch.”
Upon hearing this, Sakuya raised a satisfied smile.
He knew that his words had touched Itachi’s heart and made him regain his faith and persistence.
“Good, Itachi, you’re finally back on track,” he said softly, his tone full of relief.
However, Danzo scoffed at this. He sneered and shot a dagger-like look at Sakuya: “Humph, Uchiha, are you going to openly challenge Konoha’s authority and start a war?”
The Third Hokage also looked embarrassed. He knew Danzo’s temper very well and was even more unwilling to see a split within Konoha.
He tried to ease the atmosphere, but there was still some helplessness in his words:
“Sakuya, it is really hard to understand why you do this. We just want to protect the peace and stability of Konoha.”
Sakuya sneered, his eyes like torches, scanning everyone present: “If not compromising is provoking a war, then I am willing to bear the blame, but please remember that true peace is never achieved through sacrifice and compromise.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible pressure emanated from Shuo Ye, making everyone present feel a little nervous.
They looked at Sakuya in shock, as if at this moment they truly realized the strength and determination of the Uchiha clan leader.
“Huh! Ridiculous!”
There was a flash of determination in Danzo’s eyes, as if he had made some kind of decision. He suddenly moved, turned into a black shadow and pounced on Itachi at a speed that was astonishing.
However, at this critical moment, a blue figure appeared out of nowhere like a ghost and accurately blocked Itachi’s way. It was Shisui!
“Master Danzo, you passed!”
Shisui’s voice was calm and firm, but his eyes could hardly hide the disappointment.
His appearance surprised everyone present, including the Third Hokage, who couldn’t help but exclaimed: “Shisui? Why are you here?!”
It turns out that Shisui never actually left Konoha to carry out the mission, but chose to observe from the shadows and listen in on it all.
He witnessed the conflicts and selfishness among Konoha’s high-ranking officials, and was deeply disappointed with the Third Hokage and Danzo.
Is this really the Will of Fire that he once longed for?
At this moment, he stood in front of Itachi, like an insurmountable barrier, isolating Danzo’s malice from him.
“Shisui…”
Danzo’s face was gloomy. He didn’t expect that his surprise attack would be resolved so easily.
Seeing this, the Third Hokage stepped forward and tried to ease the tense atmosphere:
“Sakuya, what do you want to do? The peace of Konoha cannot be taken lightly!”
Sakuya smiled slightly and turned his gaze to the Hyuga family members who remained silent.
He nodded slightly, as if confirming something.
“I’ve already said that we Uchiha and Hyuga are firm allies. In the face of difficulties, allies will naturally lend a helping hand.”
His words were concise and powerful, warming the hearts of the Hyuga family representatives and making them more curious about Sakuya’s true intentions.
“Shisui, you stay here and keep an eye on them.”
There was an unquestionable command in Sakuya’s words, and then he flashed and disappeared outside the door in an instant, leaving only a faint aftereffect echoing in the place.
“Wait for me… to kill someone.”
In an instant, the pupils of the Third Hokage and his men suddenly contracted!
The air…seems to be stagnant!
“Sakuya!”
The Third Hokage’s face turned pale, and the surrounding ninjas were also stunned. They all wanted to chase after him, but were stopped by the Uchiha people who were prepared.
Shisui stood at the front, his eyes cold, as if warning everyone: Anyone who dares to act rashly will pay the price.
The members of the Hyuga clan seemed unusually silent. They neither participated in the obstruction nor showed any intention of pursuing.
This delicate stance made everyone present feel an indescribable oppression.
In the Hidden Cloud Village, the leader of the Hidden Cloud Village was immersed in the joy of compromising with the Hyuga Clan. He thought that Konoha had already surrendered and the Uchiha Clan was just a piece of cake.
He imagined the Sharingan that was about to be obtained, and his heart was filled with greed and arrogance.
“Humph, Konoha is nothing more than this.”
He sneered at his subordinates and said, “Uchiha? What can they do? Sharingan? It’s nothing more than ours.”
However, this pride did not last long.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the conference room, and a ninja rushed in in panic and reported loudly:
“Sir! Something bad has happened! Uchiha Sakuya is at the door… at the door!”
The face of the Yunyin leader suddenly changed. He stood up abruptly and walked quickly to the door.
When he saw the scene before him, he was struck by lightning – the corpses of the Hidden Cloud Ninja were lying in a mess at the door, the ground was stained red with blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
“Sakuya! You…you’re crazy!”
The leader of Kumogakure roared, he couldn’t believe what he saw, “How dare you attack us?!”
Shuo Ye stood among the corpses, his robes fluttering in the wind, his eyes as cold as a knife, as if he could see into people’s hearts.
“crazy?”
He chuckled, “Maybe, but all I know is that I will never show mercy to those who threaten Konoha and the Uchiha.”
Chapter 42: The Collapsing Jade has not yet awakened! Declare war on the Hidden Cloud Village! (Old version)
When the leader of the Yunyin team saw this, he felt fear in his heart, but more of it was anger and unwillingness.
He took a deep breath and tried to threaten Sakuya with words: “Sakuya, are you trying to start a war between the two villages by doing this? Do you think you can get away with it?”
Sakuya did not answer, but just raised his hand slightly, and a powerful chakra gathered around him, as if it would burst out with devastating power at any time.
There was no fear in his eyes, only a firm belief in victory.
Seeing this, the surrounding Kumogakure ninjas retreated one after another. They had never seen such a powerful opponent before, and they dared not imagine what would happen next. The entire Kumogakure Village fell into a dead silence, with only Sakuya’s cold and firm voice echoing:
“War? If you want, then come on. But I, Uchiha Sakuya, am never afraid of any challenge.”
At this moment, a cold system prompt sounded beside Shuoye’s ears:
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the critical choice!”
[1. Reward for directly killing the Kumogakure Ninja: Collapse Jade (not awakened)
2. Release the Kumogakure ninja and release the goodwill reward: all lightning ninjutsu below S level
3. Surrender to the Hidden Cloud Village and hand over Itachi. Reward: Immune to Illusions]Sakuya stood in front of the leader of Kumogakure, the light of his Mangekyō Sharingan flickering in his eyes, and the system prompt sounded in his mind.
He quickly analyzed the pros and cons of each option and made a decision in his mind.
“Hengyu (unawakened)… This will be another leap in my power.”
Sakuya muttered to himself and chose the first option without hesitation – to kill directly.
To him, Lightning Release Ninjutsu is powerful but not indispensable; and surrender is nonsense.
As the choice was made, an unprecedented force surged out of his body, interweaving with the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, forming a destructive aura.
“Tremor-Tremor Fruit—Iron Grip!”
Sakuye didn’t hesitate at all. He gently clenched his hands, and the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was instantly activated. There seemed to be invisible ripples vibrating in the air, which was the resonance of space and power.
“Lightning Style: Chidori Style!”
Seeing this, the leader of the Kumogakure team knew that something was wrong and immediately used his strongest lightning-style ninjutsu, trying to counter Sakuya with his speed and strength.
However, when his attack came into contact with the invisible shock wave surrounding Sakuya, it was like a drop in the ocean and was instantly swallowed up without a trace.
“it’s over.”
Sakuya whispered softly, and in a flash, he appeared behind the leader of the Kumogakure.
With a slight wave of his right hand, a shock wave that was difficult to capture with the naked eye instantly penetrated the leader’s body, shattering him to pieces, leaving him no chance to resist.
The battle ended so suddenly that everyone present was stunned. The ninjas of Kumogakure stared at this scene in amazement. Their leader, the one who was as unshakable as a mountain in their hearts, was killed so easily?
“Go away and tell the Raikage.”
Sakuya’s voice was cold and resolute. His eyes swept across everyone present with an unquestionable majesty.
“The war begins now.”
The adjutant’s body was shaking, unable to utter a complete sentence. He could only nod desperately, then turned and fled, not daring to even look at Sakuya again. His heart was filled with fear and despair.
On the top of the high tower of the Hidden Cloud Village, Ai was immersed in the fantasy of gaining huge benefits from Konoha. Suddenly, a pale-faced ninja stumbled into the hall and brought the news that was like a bolt from the blue.
Ai’s face instantly changed from joy to anger, his eyes widened as if they could spit fire, and he slammed the table so hard that the entire hall trembled.
“What?! The old fox of the Third Hokage actually dared to plot against me?! And Sakuya, he actually dared to declare war on Kumogakure on behalf of Uchiha?! Does he really dare to do it?!”
Ai’s roar echoed in the hall, his anger was like a violent storm, sweeping over every Kumogakure ninja present.
“Mobilize the army! Now! Immediately! I want to let Konoha know the consequences of provoking Kumogakure!”
Ai’s voice was full of unquestionable determination, and he seemed to have seen the scene of Konoha trembling under his feet.
At the same time, the atmosphere in Konoha Village was also extremely tense.
The Third Hokage and other high-ranking officials gathered together, their faces solemn, as if a dark cloud was pressing down on their heads.
They knew very well that Sakuya’s actions had pushed Konoha to the brink of war, and it seemed that no one could take this responsibility.
“Sakuya must be held responsible for this huge trouble that the village has brought!”
A senior executive slammed the table in anger, his voice full of dissatisfaction and accusations towards Sakuya.
However, Sakuya himself seemed to be out of the picture. He sat aside, nonchalant, with a faint smile on his face, as if all this had nothing to do with him. He listened quietly to the noise of the crowd, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
“You all seem to have got one thing wrong.”
Finally, Sakuya spoke. His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.
“It was the Uchiha who declared war on Kumogakure, not the Kumogakure who invaded Konoha. The Uchiha have their own pride and position, and we will not sit idly by and watch our interests being violated.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sakuya’s figure suddenly turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared in front of everyone. Everyone was stunned, and then their faces became even uglier – Sakuya actually used the shadow clone again!
Seeing this, Uchiha Xuanjing and others bowed their heads slightly to apologize to the Third Generation and others, then turned around and left without hesitation. Their backs revealed a kind of resolution and determination.
“Humph! Let the Uchiha solve the trouble themselves! Then, they will beg us for mercy!”
Danzo spoke coldly and turned away.
Chapter 43: Formal Alliance! Controlling the Eight-Tails! (Old Version)
The Third Hokage and others looked at the Uchiha group’s departing backs with mixed feelings.
Hinata Hiashi was observing all this thoughtfully from the side. His eyes showed both admiration for Sakuya’s courage and worry about the future of Konoha.
Finally, he slowly stood up and left the meeting room, secretly thinking about how to protect the Hyuga clan from the coming storm.
The moonlight shone through the towering trees and fell on the corner of Konoha Village. Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi stood on a high platform, looking into the distance in the direction of the Uchiha clan’s territory, feeling uneasy.
The night breeze blew gently, bringing a bit of coolness, but it could not dispel the heaviness in their hearts.
“We owe Sakuya a favor.” Hizashi whispered, with a hint of fear in his expression.
“The Uchiha just moved here not too long ago, and they are in the limelight right now, but we failed to celebrate for them, and instead made people feel that the Hyuuga were out of place.”
Rizu’s eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he seemed to want to see through everything through the night.
He turned around and looked down at Hizashi, frowning, “We have completely lost face in this incident! We must do something to remedy this!”
Hizashi nodded slightly, thinking to himself that since this was the prelude to war, the Hyuga clan could no longer stand idly by and must take action.
“Let’s send a gift to Uchiha to show our support to him.”
“Gift?”
Rizu was slightly stunned, and a thoughtful look flashed across his face. “It’s not only a gift, but also a display of our sincerity.”
He spoke slowly, his tone gradually becoming firmer, “If the Uchiha have the courage to declare war, how can the Hyuga be absent? If we remain silent, won’t it make us look even more weak and incompetent?”
A look of relief appeared on Hizashi’s face, and he no longer hesitated.
He nodded in agreement, “That’s right!”
The two smiled at each other, and the burden in their hearts seemed to be lightened a lot.
At the same time, in the Uchiha clan territory, Sakuya finally returned to the center of the clan. Everything before him was brand new and full of vitality.
The clan’s buildings tower into the sky, as if symbolizing the revival and hope of the Uchiha clan.
Fugaku beside him was feeling emotional. Not long ago, this place was in a mess, but now it is full of vitality because of Sakuya’s efforts.
“Thanks to you, Sakuya.”
Fugaku’s face was filled with satisfaction, and his eyes showed respect and gratitude for Sakuya. He knew in his heart that without Sakuya’s persistence and hard work, the Uchiha would never have such a change.
At this moment, several elders came over, with hesitation and uneasiness flashing on their faces.
An elder frowned slightly and asked in a heavy tone: “Sakuya, you declared war on behalf of the Uchiha. Aren’t you being impulsive? Kumogakure is not an enemy we can easily fight.”
Sakuya’s eyes were as hot as flames, and he looked back at the elders without hesitation.
“What kind of person is Kumogakure? When Madara was still around, they didn’t even dare to fart. If the Third Hokage wasn’t such a coward, they wouldn’t be so arrogant.”
Shuo Ye sneered and spoke lightly.
The elders looked at each other, feeling helpless in their hearts. After all, Madara’s era was finally over. However, Sakuya’s aura made them feel a confidence that was almost the same as Madara’s, or rather, arrogance.
“Shuo Ye, what are your preparations?” an elder finally asked, his eyes revealing concern and expectation.
“You will know that I have prepared a great gift for Yunyin.”
Sakuya’s eyes sparkled, then he turned to Shisui and said, “Take me to see the Eight-Tails.”
Meet the Eight-Tails?
Everyone was in doubt and exchanged puzzled looks. Sakuya was going to see the Eight-Tails. Did he change his mind and wanted to hand over the Eight-Tails? At this moment, no one seemed to understand his true intentions.
“Don’t worry, the Uchiha will never rely on handing over their clansmen in exchange for peace.”
The corners of Sakuya’s mouth rose slightly, and his tone revealed a fearless determination.
In the dark and damp prison room, Kirabi curled up in the corner. He was extremely weak, and several sealing chains pierced through him.
At this moment, a suffocating feeling of oppression suddenly filled the air, as if the entire space was bound by some invisible force.
“What are you doing here?”
Kirabi asked in a trembling voice, with a hint of despair in his eyes. He knew that Sakuya’s strength was something he could not resist.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm the fear in his heart, “If you let me go now, maybe there will be a chance for us to turn things around! There may still be room for negotiation between the two villages!”
Sakuya walked slowly into the light, with a slender figure and a stern face. His robe as dark as the night fluttered behind him, bringing up a gust of cold air.
His eyes were as dark as the abyss. He looked at Kirabi with contempt, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. “You don’t have to worry about these things.”
Before he finished speaking, his hand had already stretched out, and his fingertips trembled slightly!
Kirabi’s heart tightened, realizing that danger was approaching, but he had nowhere to escape.
Just when he was about to struggle, a kaleidoscope suddenly spun in Sakuya’s eyes.
Kirabi’s eyes gradually became blurred, and his consciousness was instantly swallowed up by an invisible force.
Chapter 44: Shadows in the Dark! White Zetsu and Obito! (Old Version)
Time seemed to have stopped in the entire prison room.
Meanwhile, outside the prison room, Fugaku and the elders were nervously waiting for news from Sakuya.
Suddenly, they felt a strange chakra fluctuation.
Fugaku’s heart was shocked, his brows furrowed, and he broke the silence, “This pupil power… could it be Sakuya?!”
The elders looked at each other in shock.
They have always known that Sakuya’s strength is extraordinary, but at this moment, it is obviously a horror that they have never seen before.
They could feel that everything in the prison room seemed to be under Sakuya’s control.
At this moment, Kirabi’s expression was completely immersed in endless darkness under the powerful force of hypnosis.
His consciousness gradually dissipated under Sakuya’s control, like a helpless baby bird captured by a wild beast and at its mercy.
Sakuya’s eyes sparkled with satisfaction, a sinister smile formed on his lips, and he whispered to himself, “Yaobi, I’ll give Kumogakure a surprise later.”
Although Sakuya’s ability has not yet reached the point where he can completely control the tailed beasts through the Eternal Mangekyō, thanks to the ancient Hogyoku, he can use this power to completely crush Killer Bee’s spiritual world.
The corners of Sakuya’s mouth slightly raised, and he was secretly proud in his heart, “This time, I will make Kumogakure pay the price for my arrogance.”
Just then, an Uchiha ninja hurried into the hall, interrupting Sakuya’s deep thoughts.
He frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows, as if he had sensed that some important change was about to happen.
“Someone from the Hyuga clan is visiting, Lord Sakuya.”
Sakuya nodded slightly, feeling an inexplicable expectation in his heart.
He stepped out of the hall and the figures of Hyuga Hizashi and Hinata came into view.
Hizashi looked serious and solemn, while Hinata had a hint of shyness and gratitude, with a determined light in her eyes.
“Lord Sakuya, I’m here on behalf of the Hyuga clan. Hinata…” Hiashi was interrupted by Hinata’s actions before he could finish his words.
He plucked up his courage, stood on tiptoe, and under Sakuya’s surprised gaze, gently left an innocent kiss on his cheek.
This action instantly stunned everyone present, including Sakuya himself.
“Lord Sakuya, thank you for everything you have done for the Uchiha. This is the Hyuga clan’s thanks to you, and also our kiss of friendship.”
Hinata’s voice was small but clearly heard by everyone, and her eyes were full of sincerity and gratitude.
Sakuya laughed in silence, then stopped smiling and his eyes became deep and firm.
He looked at Hizashi, who was expressing the Hyuga clan’s determination in an unprecedented humble manner:
“In this battle, the Hyuuga will no longer stand by and watch. We will fight alongside the Uchiha to resist the foreign enemy together.”
When these words were spoken, not only were the Uchiha clan members shocked, but even other family members who were watching from afar cast incredulous looks at them.
They never thought that the Hyuga clan would stand up so decisively to support the Uchiha. This change was like a bolt from the blue, shaking everyone’s heart.
“Hinata…are you really going to join forces with the Uchiha?”
Someone murmured, his voice full of shock and confusion.
More people began to re-examine this once isolated family, with curiosity and awe in their eyes.
Shuo Ye was extremely satisfied. He knew that this move had completely broken the originally rigid situation.
Deep in the Hidden Rain Village, in an area shrouded in haze, Obito stood alone on the top of a hill made up of countless white corpses, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood and despair.
His eyes flashed a cold and crazy light through the gaps in the mask, as if he could see through every corner of the world.
“Bai Zetsu, the news you brought did surprise me.”
Obito’s voice was deep and magnetic, echoing in the empty underground space. “The Uchiha clan is now led by Sakuya, and has done several great things? Interesting, really interesting.”
Obito had heard about Sakuya a few times before, but at that time Sakuya was still active on the battlefield and the two had little interaction.
White Zetsu’s figure slowly condensed beside him, its shape twisted and changeable, like a ghost in the fog.
“Moreover, the Hidden Cloud Village seems to be eyeing Konoha covetously. A war is inevitable.”
Obito’s lips curled up in a sneer, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
“Kumogakure starts a war? This is exactly what I want. The decline of Konoha and the power of Uchiha are both indispensable parts of my plan. Let Kirigakure join this game as well. If there is more chaos, I will have a chance to take action against the Nine-Tails.”
At the same time, in Konoha Village, a meeting concerning life and death was taking place in full swing.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was solemn, and everyone’s face was filled with worry and determination.
Sakuya stood at one end of the conference table, his eyes firm and his voice steady and powerful: “In this battle, our goal is not just to defend, but to take the initiative and completely destroy the threat of Kumogakure.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire conference room fell into silence.
Everyone looked at each other, their shock evident in words. Someone murmured, “Lord Sakuya, are you saying… to completely destroy Kumogakure?”
“Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.”
Sakuya’s voice was firm and unwavering. “The ambitions of Kumogakure are obvious. They will not be satisfied with a temporary victory. Only by completely eliminating this threat can Konoha usher in true peace.”
Chapter 45: The power of observation is revealed! The Hyuga family is stunned! (Old version)
Facing everyone’s worries and doubts, Shuo Ye’s gaze became more determined.
He looked around, his voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word was like a hammer, hitting everyone’s heart.
“Kumogakure does have a formidable force – the power of the Fourth Raikage and the Tailed Beasts, as well as the fighting power of their entire people, all demonstrate the strength of this country. However, strength is never absolute, and it will always be surpassed one day.”
Sakuya’s words revealed unquestionable confidence, and his eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
“The original Eight-Tails and Ai were indeed the two pillars of Kumogakure, but now the Eight-Tails has been captured, leaving only the Two-Tails. We Uchiha are fully capable of fighting.”
Sakuya paused and continued, “The decaying Will of Fire may have caused some parts of Konoha to lose their former sharpness, but the Uchiha have never truly succumbed to anyone or anything. We have been enduring in Konoha for too long, but today is the moment for us to stand at the top of the ninja world again!”
At this point, a hint of fanaticism flashed in the eyes of many Uchiha clan members, which was the desire for victory.
“In this battle, we will use our absolute speed and advantage, like a sharp blade, to pierce the heart of Kumogakure. Raikage, I will handle it myself. You just need to do your part and let the name of Uchiha resound throughout the ninja world!”
Sakuya’s words were like a raging fire, instantly igniting the blood of the Uchiha people.
There was a fanatical light flashing in the eyes of Xuan Jing and others. They seemed to see the glorious future of Uchiha coming towards them step by step.
“Lord Sakuya, we are willing to follow in your footsteps. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will fight to the death!”
Xuan Jing’s voice was firm and powerful, and his words represented the voice of all Uchiha clan members.
In the conference room, shock and admiration intertwined. Everyone nodded, with unprecedented determination and resolve in their eyes.
They knew that this battle would be a test for the Uchiha and also a chance to prove themselves.
As the plan became more detailed, the Uchiha people began to make intensive preparations.
They trained harder and practiced tactical drills more frequently. Everyone understood that this battle was about the future of Uchiha and their status in the ninja world.
In the Hidden Cloud Village, in Ai’s office, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.
Ai stood tall, his eyes as sharp as torches, as if he could penetrate the clouds and look directly at Konoha in the distance.
He waved his hand fiercely, and the ninja below quickly stepped forward and reported respectfully:
“Sir, all the troops have been assembled and are ready to go.”
Ai’s lips curled up into a satisfied smile, and his voice was as loud as thunder: “Okay! Let’s let the Hidden Cloud Village announce to the world that our time has come! Let’s go!”
Following Ai’s order, the elite ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village poured out of the village like a tide and marched towards Konoha in a mighty manner.
Their eyes sparkled with a desire for victory and infinite longing for the future of Yunyin.
At this time in Konoha, the Third Hokage was sitting on the Hokage Rock with a frown and a deep look in his eyes.
He received information that the Uchiha clan had already set out and that the Hidden Mist Village was taking action, and he felt mixed emotions.
He was fully aware of the complexity of this war and his responsibilities as Hokage.
“Should we take action?”
The Third Hokage pondered over it in his mind, and finally he shook his head slowly, with a trace of determination in his eyes, “Both sides may suffer losses, which may be the best choice for the village. Let the Uchiha and Kumogakure solve the fight between them.”
On the other side, in the base of the Root organization, Danzo sat in a dark corner with a sneer on his lips.
The intelligence in his hands recorded in detail the movements of the Uchiha clan and the preparations for war in the Hidden Cloud Village.
In his opinion, this war was undoubtedly a disaster for the Uchiha.
“Uchiha, oh Uchiha, I’m afraid you’re going to suffer a big setback this time.”
Danzo was secretly proud in his heart, as he seemed to have seen the scene of the Uchiha clan being defeated and suffering heavy losses on the battlefield.
In the temporary command post where Sakuya was, the atmosphere was tense and full of fighting spirit. Shisui, the captain of the Hidden Team, walked in swiftly with a barely perceptible smile on his face.
He quickly came in front of Sakuya and reported the latest location of the Kumogakure troops in a low and accurate voice, with every detail seeming so precise and accurate.
“Sakuya, the Kumogakure troops are advancing rapidly along this route and are expected to encounter our main force in three hours.”
Shisui’s voice revealed a special perception ability, which was the observation Haki that he was now proud of, an ability that could surpass the perception range of ordinary people and capture subtle changes on the battlefield.
On the side, the ninjas of the Hyuga family looked at each other in surprise when they heard this. Some of them tried to open their Byakugan to verify Shisui’s information, but the result surprised them.
Although the movements of the Kumogakure troops could be captured under the Byakugan, the accuracy and immediacy were far inferior to those reported by Shisui.
The Hyuga ninjas could not hide their shock. Their hearts were filled with doubts and puzzlement, and they did not understand how the people from the Hidden Team could do this.
Chapter 46: Combination Ninjutsu! Give Kumogakure some appetizers! (Old version)
Seeing this, Sakuya raised a faint smile. He did not answer the Hyuga ninja’s question, but turned his gaze to the distance, where the Kumogakure troops were about to set foot on the battlefield.
“Since they are so eager to see the power of the Uchiha, let’s give them a good beating!”
Sakuya’s voice was deep and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone’s heart.
Then, he gave the order: “Prepare the combined ninjutsu – [Meteorite Fire Rain]! Let the people of Kumogakure know what true despair is.”
Following Sakuya’s order, the surrounding Uchiha ninjas quickly took action.
They each gathered the chakra in their bodies and transformed the properties of the chakra through a special method – using domineering aura as a medium.
This technique is now a secret technique unique to the Uchiha clan. It allows ninjas to transform chakra into the attributes most suitable for the current combat environment in a short period of time.
However, this transformation is not without limitations.
Just as Sakuya said, the Uchiha clan is best at fire jutsu, so they are particularly adept at transforming into fire attribute chakra.
As the ninjas moved, bursts of blazing flames began to condense in the air, as if even the air was on fire.
Then, these flames began to gather into a huge energy. They circled and intertwined in the air, and finally formed huge fireballs, which were large enough to cover the sky and the sun.
At the same time, another group of ninjas from the Uchiha clan were responsible for guiding the natural forces in the sky to pull meteorites from afar onto the battlefield.
“Meteorite fire rain!”
Following Sakuya’s roar, the huge fireball and meteorite fell at the same time, turning into a devastating disaster.
The fireball exploded in the air, turning into countless burning fragments, which smashed towards the Kumogakure troops together with the meteorites.
This scene shocked everyone present.
The Hyuga ninjas widened their eyes and looked at everything in front of them in disbelief.
They had never seen such spectacular ninjutsu, and never imagined that the Uchiha clan could create such horrific destructive power.
“Is this…is this the power of the Uchiha?”
The Hyuuga ninjas murmured to themselves, their eyes filled with awe and shock.
As for Sakuya, he just stood quietly by the side, looking at the disaster that he had caused with his own hands, his eyes full of calmness.
This..is just the beginning!
Above the battlefield, the wind was howling and thick dark clouds were rolling in the sky, as if setting the stage for the impending disaster.
Ai stood in the front, his eyes as sharp as a knife. The team members around him were very nervous and felt vaguely uneasy.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning cut through the thick clouds in the sky, and then the thick black clouds slowly gathered like a huge net, pressing down on the entire battlefield.
“What on earth is going on?!”
Ma Buyi was stunned, holding the ninja sword tightly in his hand. They had been hiding well, how could someone discover their base? Moreover, it was the Uchiha family, which they had always believed would not be able to regain its glory in the battle with the Hidden Cloud Village.
“Quick! Get everyone ready for defense!”
Ai’s voice was as loud as thunder, with a strong sense of command. Although he was full of doubts, as a shadow, he had to be decisive.
His chakra surged instantly, forming a shield that glowed with blue light around his body, as if to block the impending rain of fire.
However, it was too late. As the sky split, the rain of fire poured down like a flood, bringing with it a breath of destruction.
The color of the flame no longer seemed to be pure red, but a strange dark purple, as if it had been integrated with some unknown power, burning the heaven and earth.
“Run! Dodge!”
Someone was shouting loudly, but the rain of fire was like a ruthless judge, and there was nowhere to escape.
Several Kumogakure ninjas were hit by the rain of fire and immediately turned into ashes, leaving only shocked eyes and silent screams.
Ai saw the rain of fire in the sky in despair, and anger ignited in his heart. He couldn’t help but grit his teeth and said, “Uchiha! What a good trick!”
“Lord Raikage, you can’t be impulsive!”
Ma Buyi’s voice was drowned out by the roar of the rain of fire, but he still tried his best to hold Ai.
But Darui was already standing aside, his brows furrowed and his eyes serious.
He was the second in command in the battle, but now he had to remain calm in the face of this catastrophe.
“Sackcloth, Darui! I must find out the source of that chakra myself!”
Ai struggled to rush forward, his chakra surging like a raging wave. He understood that this was not just a surprise attack, but also a mockery to all of them.
“Sir, you will only make us lose command by doing this! The most important thing now is to protect the safety of the base camp and the team members!”
Ma Buyi decisively stopped Ai’s impulse. Although he was also full of uneasiness, the confrontation between reason and emotion was particularly important in this situation.
The rain of fire raged in the sky, as if it was the wrath of nature. The Hidden Cloud Ninjas had to do their best to build layer upon layer of defense.
Countless lightning ninjutsu exploded in the sky, but there were still heavy casualties.
“Damn it!” Ai couldn’t help it anymore and slammed his fist on the ground. The vibrating soil stirred up a cloud of dust. Countless questions lingered in his mind – why was the Uchiha so powerful?
Chapter 47: The Phoenix Travels in the Sky! An Unexpected Path! (Old Version)
Could it be that they have been lurking in the dark for so long?
“We must find the source of the chakra and stop this disaster!”
Ai quickly calmed down. While commanding his troops to defend, he released his perception ability and tried to lock onto the source of the chakra.
“Lord Raikage, you can’t go!” Seeing this, Ma Buyi hurriedly tried to stop Ai.
But his voice was interrupted by Darui beside him.
“Ma Buyi, don’t worry, Master Ai, it’s the Raikage!”
Darui’s eyes were full of trust and respect for Ai.
He knew very well that at this time, no one’s dissuasion could change Ai’s determination.
As the news swept across the battlefield like a gust of wind, everyone’s heart involuntarily tensed up.
Sakuya raised a faint smile and said softly to Fugaku beside him:
“It seems that our old friend is eager to meet in person. Then, let’s give him an unforgettable meeting gift.”
When Fugaku heard this, a look of determination flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that the next action would determine the direction of the battle.
Without any hesitation, he stretched out his body and leaped into the center of the battlefield like a cheetah. The aura around him instantly became solemn and hot.
The Mangekyō Sharingan slowly opened, and the unique pattern seemed to contain terrifying power, foreshadowing the coming storm.
“It’s about to begin!”
He whispered softly, and although his voice was light, it echoed in everyone’s heart like thunder.
In an instant, the sky seemed to respond to his call, and the originally calm blue sky was replaced by a gorgeous fiery cloud.
These fiery clouds are not a natural sight, but are condensed from powerful chakra. They surge wildly in the air, constantly changing their shapes as if they have life, releasing suffocating heat and oppression.
“Combined Ninjutsu – Fire Style: Divine Phoenix Wandering in the Sky!”
Fugaku took a deep breath and spoke almost in a roar.
At this moment, the sky seemed to be torn apart, and a huge phoenix appeared out of thin air. It was covered in flames, with its wings spread out, almost covering half of the sky. Its eyes burning with blazing flames seemed to be able to see through all the vanity in the world.
The phoenix flapped its wings and flew high, bringing up waves of heat that enveloped everything around it in a sea of ​​fire.
This is a combination of ninjutsu that can only be accurately guided by the Mangekyō Sharingan. Its power is far greater than that of meteorite fire rain!
“What…what is this!?”
The Hyuga clan ninjas were stunned. They had never seen such a shocking ninjutsu. The majesty and power of the phoenix made them feel unprecedented fear and awe.
Ma Buyi and other elite ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village also changed their expressions. They knew Ai was powerful, but facing this fire phoenix that seemed to be able to burn everything, even they couldn’t help but have doubts:
Can the Fourth Raikage really withstand such an attack?
Ai’s figure was looming in the distance, and he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, but as a top ninja, he did not retreat. Instead, he roared, lightning swirling all over his body, and his momentum soared!
“We can’t just sit there and wait for death! The Hidden Cloud Village’s mastery of Lightning Release is unmatched. We can try to imitate their combination ninjutsu!”
Darui’s eyes flashed with determination and wisdom. He knew very well that in this contest, passive defense would only make the situation more unfavorable.
So, he resolutely stood up and announced loudly: “I have seen some tricks from their combined ninjutsu. Although we cannot fully grasp its essence, with our profound attainments in lightning escape from the Cloud Village, we can try to imitate a simplified version of ninjutsu to interfere with or even break their offensive! Everyone, listen to my command!”
Hearing this, Ma Buyi’s eyes flashed with determination and resoluteness. He knew that although Darui’s decision was risky, it was the only way out at the moment, so he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement:
“That’s right, we can’t just sit there and wait for death! Darui, I fully support your plan, let’s give it a try!”
Under Darui’s command, the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village acted quickly. They arranged themselves in a specific formation, and each of them had a surge of lightning chakra surging in their bodies.
Under their control, these chakras gathered into powerful electric currents, interweaving into an intricate electric grid in the air.
Ai stood at the edge of the battlefield, staring at the fire phoenix in the sky that was spreading its wings and ready to fly, with an indescribable shock in his heart.
He was well aware of the power of the Uchiha clan, but he had never expected that their combined ninjutsu could reach such a devastating level.
Just as he was racking his brains for a countermeasure, the sudden surge of lightning chakra behind him attracted his attention.
Looking up at the sky, I saw that the originally calm thunderclouds began to churn violently, as if some powerful force was brewing.
As thunderclouds gathered, the illusion of a gigantic Qilin gradually emerged. Although its shape was illusory, the tremendous power of thunder made people awe-inspiring.
Ai’s eyes lit up, and he secretly praised in his heart: “Darui, well done!”
However, Sakuya simply chuckled, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
“It’s interesting, but unfortunately, it’s not enough.”
His words were understated, but they revealed his contempt for the Hidden Cloud Village’s ninjutsu.
Fugaku was observing silently from the side. Seeing Sakuya so confident, he felt relieved and nodded, indicating that they should continue with the original plan.
“The Divine Phoenix is ​​flying in the sky, descending!”
Chapter 48: The Eight-Tails Appears! Lightning Release. Thunder Destroys! (Old Version)
Following Shuo Ye’s order, the huge fire phoenix seemed to have received some kind of instruction and swooped down suddenly, its speed was as fast as a meteor across the sky.
Wherever the flames passed, the air seemed to be ignited, the earth was burned black, and the surrounding trees were instantly reduced to ashes. The entire battlefield seemed to be engulfed by a sea of ​​fire, a doomsday scene.
Darui and the others were extremely anxious when they saw this. They knew Ai’s strength very well, but facing such a terrifying fire escape attack, even he would find it difficult to escape unscathed.
However, Ai did not back down. He roared and laughed:
“Don’t mind me. I have inherited the title of ‘Raikage’. A mere Fire Style is a joke!”
After saying that, Ai suddenly stood up, with lightning surrounding his body, as if he had turned into a thunder god, and rushed into the sea of ​​fire resolutely.
However, Sakuya just chuckled, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
“He is an opponent, but when dealing with an opponent, you have to give your all to show your true respect.”
His words revealed an unquestionable confidence and determination.
“Are you ready? Lightning Release: Great Thunder Destruction!”
Darui’s voice sounded like thunder, and his hands quickly formed seals, guiding everyone’s chakra to its peak.
Sackboy roared, chakra surging in his body, he knew that this was their last chance.
Darui’s eyes suddenly became resolute. He took a deep breath, quickly formed seals with his hands, and guided everyone’s chakra to gather into an unprecedented force of thunder.
“Bite the Uchiha!”
Following Darui’s roar, the Qilin illusion in the sky seemed to have received some kind of summons, and suddenly turned into a flash of lightning, with the momentum of destroying the world, and rushed straight towards Shuo Ye.
In an instant, the sky over the entire battlefield seemed to be torn apart, with dark clouds and flashes of lightning, as if a divine punishment was approaching.
Following Darui’s order, several thick lightning pillars fell from the sky. Carrying the power to destroy the world, they slammed into the “Fire Style: Divine Phoenix Wandering in the Sky” performed by the Uchiha clan.
The collision of thunder and fire instantly engulfed the entire battlefield in a dazzling light.
The roar was deafening, as if the heaven and earth were shaking at this moment.
On the battlefield, the dust had not yet settled and in the dead silence, a discordant sound quietly rang out. It was the sound of Bai Zetsu walking out of the shadows.
There was a strange light flashing in its empty eyes, as if it was both interested in and somewhat disdainful of the battle in front of it.
“It was a truly amazing performance, but the ending seems to be predetermined. Tsk tsk, the Uchiha clan is likely to suffer heavy casualties.”
There was a hint of gloating in White Zetsu’s words, as if he had foreseen the defeat of the Uchiha clan.
However, at this moment, a thunderous applause broke the silence, and Ai’s figure walked out from the firelight. Although he looked a little embarrassed, there was a gleam of light in his eyes.
His appearance made Darui and others feel relieved, and cheers rang out one after another. They believed that with Ai here, victory in this battle was already in their pocket.
Ai looked around, a confident smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
“Uchiha clan, your era has long ended. This battle will be a testimony to the victory of our Hidden Cloud Village!”
His voice was loud and powerful, full of desire for victory.
However, just as the dawn of victory was about to shine on the Hidden Cloud Village, an even stronger vibration came from the center of the battlefield.
Smoke and dust rose up, obscuring everyone’s vision. When everything became clear again, a huge figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone – it was the Eight-Tails transformed into a tailed beast!
The appearance of the Eight-Tails was like a bolt from the blue, stunning everyone present.
Ai’s face turned ugly in an instant. He widened his eyes in disbelief, his heart filled with shock and confusion.
“How is it possible?! Sakuya can actually control the Eight-Tails?! Has he awakened the Eternal Mangekyō?!”
The thought flashed through his mind like lightning, giving him a chill.
He originally thought that the Uchiha had already been defeated in this battle, but he did not expect that Sakuya could successfully control the Eight-Tails, which meant that the strength of the Uchiha side skyrocketed in an instant and the situation had completely reversed.
“Sakuya, you monster!”
Sakuya’s figure then appeared beside Yaoi, and he walked towards Ai step by step with steady steps.
Fugaku, Shisui, and Uchiha Genkyō followed closely behind. There was no trace of fatigue or fear on their faces. Instead, they were filled with enthusiasm and fighting spirit.
“The battle has just begun.”
Sakuya’s voice was calm and firm, as if he had everything under control.
“kill!”
Sakuya’s voice resounded across the battlefield like thunder.
At this moment, the roar of the Eight-Tails was like a deafening thunder, with a terrifying deterrent power that shook the entire battlefield.
The power of the tailed beasts made everyone feel fearful. Many ninjas who were originally full of confidence turned pale in an instant and stepped back.
But the Uchiha people did not retreat. There was a raging fire in their eyes and they were full of fighting spirit.
“Darui, prepare to meet the enemy!”
He shouted loudly, forcing himself to calm down. Although his heart was turbulent, he still tried to keep his footing. Chakra suddenly burst out in Ai’s hands, and the air around him instantly became hot, like roaring thunder.
“That’s right, we must not lose!”
Darui gritted his teeth and roared, as if breaking free from the shackles of fear. He led a group of ninjas and quickly adjusted their formation to prepare for the impending attack.
Chapter 49: Two-tailed Jinchūriki! Perfect Tailed Beast Transformation! (Old Version)
The battle broke out like an earth-shaking event, strong murderous intent was intertwined in the air, and the atmosphere around suddenly became extremely tense.
The air seemed to be torn apart, and the warriors of the Uchiha clan were like sharp blades in the dark night, silently shuttling among the elites of the Hidden Cloud Village.
Their movements were swift and coordinated, and the six types of physical techniques were used to the fullest extent. Every collision of fists and feet was accompanied by a roar in the air, demonstrating strength and speed beyond ordinary people.
Uchiha’s unique Sharingan flashed a mysterious light on the battlefield, as if it could see through all illusions and predict every move of the opponent.
Their eyes revealed calmness and determination, and every gaze was accompanied by a slowdown in the enemy’s movements, as if time was controlled by them at this moment.
With the help of the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan’s warriors not only attacked with incredible precision, but their defense was also impeccable, allowing them to resolve the offensive of the Hidden Cloud Village one by one.
What is even more shocking is the exquisite coordination between the Uchiha.
They seemed to be in telepathic communication, understanding each other’s intentions without words, and could form a perfect linkage whether attacking or defending.
This tacit understanding made the warriors of the Hidden Cloud Village feel unprecedented pressure, and even the advantage in numbers seemed insignificant at this moment.
Darui and others were stunned and shocked.
They simply couldn’t believe that the Uchiha would choose to engage in a head-on confrontation at such a disadvantage.
The elite ninjas of Kumogakure are numerous, and even after suffering heavy losses, they still have more than three times the number of Uchiha. Such blind courage is simply puzzling.
“This guy is crazy!”
Darui roared, trying to calm himself down. However, the rapid changes on the battlefield caused his sanity to gradually collapse in the frenzy of the battle.
At this moment, the ninja sword in the hand of an Uchiha ninja was as fast as the wind, like a meteor cutting through the sky in the darkness.
With one slash of his sword, several elite ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village were instantly split in half. Blood spurted out like a fountain, dyeing every inch of the battlefield red.
Darui was stunned and extremely shocked.
He understood that the fighting power of these Uchiha was probably far beyond their imagination.
“Form a formation! Form a formation!”
Darui roared, his voice filled with unprecedented anxiety and desperation.
He knew that if this continued, Yunyin’s defense would not be able to hold out for much longer.
He wondered in his heart, where did the Uchiha become so powerful?
The initial encounter with the Eight-Tails was probably just the tip of the Uchiha iceberg. Today’s performance was as powerful as if they were reborn.
During the battle, Sakuya smiled slightly, secretly satisfied.
However, his eyes suddenly focused, as if he noticed something, and signaled to Shisui.
Shisui understood and instantly used the body-flash technique, turning into a puff of smoke and disappearing on the spot. Aidarui felt uneasy. What on earth was Shisui doing?
At this moment, on the other side of the battlefield, with a loud bang, a figure streaked across the sky like a meteor, rushing straight to the battlefield, raising endless smoke and dust!
Darui’s eyes fixed, and he was instantly attracted by the figure, with a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
That’s… the Two-Tails Jinchuriki – Yubokuto!
In the center of the battlefield, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the surrounding trees were swaying due to the fierce fighting, as if they were all uneasy about this life-and-death struggle.
“Damn it, has the situation gotten this bad?”
The solemn expression of the wooden man was like a huge rock pressing on her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Her figure flashed on the battlefield, and she instantly rescued several Kumogakure ninjas who were surrounded by the Uchiha. However, she knew in her heart that the Uchiha in front of her was much more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.
Several Uchiha hid in the shadows and surrounded them in an instant, preparing to launch a fierce attack on other targets. They knew that it would be difficult for Yumu Ren to take care of them all, so they chose the target farthest from her, calculating it very cleverly.
Yu Muren was furious, but she couldn’t think of anything else. She knew that a head-on confrontation would only lead her into a deeper quagmire.
“Damn it!” Yumujin cursed inwardly and rushed towards one of the Uchiha without hesitation, ready to fight it out.
Her figure was like lightning, breaking through the air, and the ninja sword in her hand flashed with cold light, like lightning cutting through the night sky.
However, just as she was about to chop down, a figure appeared in front of her. It was Fugaku.
Fugaku smiled slightly, with a relaxed look on his face, “Two-tailed Jinchuriki? Your opponent is me.”
His tone was gentle, yet it revealed an invisible pressure.
The wooden man felt a tightness in his heart, and was filled with resentment and a myriad of thoughts.
She didn’t want to waste any more time getting entangled with an old fox like Fugaku, but at this moment Fugaku seemed like a high wall blocking her, making it impossible for her to cross.
“I’ll play with you.”
Fugaku said lightly, then jumped up, condensed thick chakra in his hands, and instantly transformed into an invisible air wave, which seemed to tear apart the atmosphere of the battlefield.
“For fun?”
Yu Mu Ren smiled coldly, the anger in her heart became more and more intense, she could no longer tolerate this passive situation. “Then let me show you my true strength!”
“Perfect Tailed Beast Transformation!”
Along with a roar, the power of the tailed beast exploded in her body. The strong chakra rolled like a raging wave, instantly enveloping her and forming a huge tailed beast. The surrounding space also shook at this moment.
Chapter 50 Let’s exchange the son! Fugaku’s battle to prove himself! (Old version)
Ai watched from afar, a sneer on his face.
He knew that even though Fugaku was the former clan leader, the situation was still not good when facing Yugito who had initially mastered the perfect tailed beast transformation.
“Perfect tailed beast transformation? You really have it covered.”
A trace of contempt flashed through his mind, but at the same time, his eyes involuntarily turned to Sakuya, and he was thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.
“interesting.”
Sakuya smiled faintly, with a deep light in his eyes, as if he was thinking about a more complicated situation.
At this moment, he tilted his head slightly, signaling Fugaku to take action. Fugaku understood and immediately took action.
“Come on then!”
Fugaku shouted, formed seals with his hands, and the chakra around his body gathered instantly. His power surged out like a tide in an instant, heading straight for the wooden man.
Facing this sudden attack, the wooden man knew that time waits for no one.
Her tailed beast form has taken shape, with her twin tails standing high, as if roaring in the sky.
Every movement she makes contains the anger and power of nature, like an enraged beast, ready to destroy all obstacles.
“Come on, Uchiha Fugaku, I want to show you my true power!”
She roared, her voice like thunder, making the surrounding trees groan, dust flew, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and anxiety.
In the center of the battlefield, the wooden figure exploded, the two-tailed Nekomata’s chakra completely merged with hers, and she transformed into a bolt of lightning, shuttling across the battlefield, and every swing of her claws was accompanied by a deafening roar.
The sky seemed to be torn apart, thunder and lightning were raging, and the noise was so loud that the entire battlefield trembled.
“Kumogakure! This is the power of our Kumogakure!”
The surrounding Hidden Cloud Ninjas shouted loudly, with fanatical light flashing in their eyes, as if at this moment, they were closely connected with the power of the tailed beasts and were indestructible.
However, the Uchiha clan on the opposite side seemed unusually calm.
Fugaku stood in the front, his eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything. Behind him, Uchiha Xuanjing, Rin and others were ready to deal with the fierce attack of the wooden man at any time.
“You ridiculous Uchiha brat, see? The power of a complete tailed beast cannot be compensated by words or cleverness alone.”
Ai’s voice echoed on the battlefield. There was a hint of disdain in his words, but more of it was confidence in his own strength.
“Sakuya, if you surrender now, hand over the Uchiha secret jutsu and the Eight-Tails, and give appropriate compensation, this meaningless war may end.”
Upon hearing this, Shuo Ye raised a faint smile.
“Lord Raikage, you don’t seem to understand the situation clearly. We are not the ones who should surrender.”
Upon hearing this, Raikage Ai’s face darkened. He snorted coldly and said no more. Instead, he concentrated all the lightning chakra in his body to the extreme, ready to take action himself.
The battle escalated once again, and the Two-Tailed Nekomata engaged in a fierce battle with the elites of the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Genkyō shuttled through the battlefield like a ghost, his Sharingan constantly capturing Yukito’s every move, and then counterattacking in the most precise and deadly way.
Every confrontation was accompanied by the collision and explosion of the ninjutsu of both sides, and the entire battlefield seemed to be engulfed by endless flames and lightning.
The onlookers who witnessed this scene were all stunned with shock.
They had never seen such a fierce battle, let alone such a powerful ninja.
Some even began to doubt whether this was really the limit of power humans could achieve.
“Is that… is that Uchiha Genkyō? How… how can he be so strong?!”
A young Kumogakure ninja said in a trembling voice, his eyes full of fear and awe of the unknown.
“Something’s wrong! Something’s wrong with these Uchiha ninjas!”
Another Kumogakure ninja echoed, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but soon he gritted his teeth, as if he remembered something, and roared,
“Don’t retreat! We have the tailed beasts here! These Uchiha ninjas are no match for us!”
On the battlefield, the tailed beast transformed by the wooden man was like a god descending from heaven. Every roar of hers was accompanied by the power to destroy the world, making the entire battlefield tremble.
The Hidden Cloud Ninjas shouted enthusiastically. Their faith and fanaticism reached its peak at this moment, as if as long as they followed the power of the Two-Tails, they would be invincible.
However, faced with the god-like power of the tailed beast, the Uchiha clan did not show the slightest fear.
Fugaku stood at the front of the team, his eyes calm and deep, as if he could see through all the vanity.
He stroked his hair gently, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, but soon his expression changed and he frowned.
“Are all the tailed beasts so arrogant?”
Fugaku’s voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the battlefield.
When these words were spoken, not only did the Hidden Cloud Ninjas look at each other in bewilderment, but even Yukito was slightly stunned. Obviously, he did not expect the other party to say such words at this time.
“Then, let’s finish it early!”
Just as everyone was stunned, Fugaku’s eyes suddenly opened, and his Mangekyō Sharingan burst into dazzling light.
“Susanoo!”
Chapter 51: The power of the tailed beast is only this much? (Old version)
As his voice fell, a huge half-body blue giant appeared out of thin air and stood in front of the Uchiha clan.
The giant held a long sword in his hand and was wearing armor. He was surrounded by lightning and fire, like the reincarnation of the god of war. His power was so strong that even the dark clouds in the sky retreated.
“In front of the Uchiha, the tailed beasts are nothing!”
Fugaku’s voice echoed across the battlefield, his tone full of confidence and pride.
At this moment, he was no longer the Uchiha clan leader who had once been bound, but a strong man who truly mastered the power.
Raikage Ai’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he stared at the huge blue giant – Susanoo – in disbelief, with turbulent waves surging in his heart.
“How is this possible! Fugaku…how could he have the Mangekyō Sharingan and awaken the power of Susanoo?!”
Ai’s eyes were full of shock. He had never thought that Uchiha Fugaku would hide such profound strength.
The Hidden Cloud Ninjas were also in an uproar. They looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
This battle had exceeded their expectations from the very beginning, and was now becoming even more confusing.
Some people even began to doubt their own eyes. They couldn’t believe that this was really a power that humans could achieve.
“Is that… Is that Susanoo? Uchiha Fugaku can actually summon such a huge Susanoo!”
An old ninja said in a trembling voice, his eyes full of awe of the unknown.
“Yes, and it looks even more powerful than the legend says! The Uchiha clan…how many secrets do they still hide?”
Another young ninja echoed, his eyes closely following every change on the battlefield.
In the Uchiha camp, Uchiha Xuanjing and Uchiha Rin looked at Fugaku’s back with fanaticism in their eyes. They knew that this was the power their people had always dreamed of.
They secretly vowed that one day, they would also have their own Mangekyō Sharingan and Susanoo like Fugaku.
“With Lord Sakuya here… that day won’t be too far away.”
Uchiha Genkyō and Rin were silently grateful to Sakuya in their hearts. They knew that without Sakuya’s strict training and careful guidance, they would not have achieved what they have today.
On the other side, the wooden man stared at the “armament color” on Susanoo’s body that was shining with a strange luster, his brows furrowed and his expression solemn.
“What is this? I have never seen such a strange defensive force field.”
She pondered in her heart, but could not find the answer.
But she knew that this layer of “armament color” was not easy to deal with, and she had to go all out to deal with it.
At this time, Uchiha Fugaku controlled Susanoo and started moving.
Boom!
The sound of footsteps hitting the ground resounded through the earth like thunder, causing everyone who heard the heavy footsteps to look sideways.
Susanoo moved forward slowly, its palms slightly open, with dark flames burning on them, emitting a terrifyingly hot temperature.
Fugaku raised his right arm to his shoulder and clenched his left fist to swing at the enemy in front of him.
“Boom boom boom”, three consecutive attacks were easily resolved by Susanoo, and the strong wind pressure caused the ground to crack inch by inch.
“Bang”, Susanoo suddenly accelerated, and a fierce iron block hit the rock on the opposite side, and the entire rock shattered and exploded.
“What an amazing guy!”
Yu Muren sighed inwardly, and then a determined look appeared on his face: “I want to see how much endurance a monster like you has!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a huge amount of chakra burst out from her body, and the Two-Tails pounced out directly!
Accompanied by a low muffled sound, the impact force of the two-tail was transmitted to Susanoo’s body through the protection of “armament color”.
“uh-huh–!”
A muffled groan escaped from Susanoo’s throat.
“Hahahaha! There’s a chance!”
Seeing this, the wooden man laughed excitedly. He felt that his whole body was filled with endless power and he wanted to tear the monster in front of him into pieces immediately.
She stared at Susanoo with her eyes fixed, and formed seals with her hands. A strong aura instantly enveloped the surrounding area of ​​100 meters, “Two-tail, Tailed Beast Ball!”
As she spoke, a large white ball shot out of her mouth and headed straight for Susanoo.
“Boom——” With a loud roar, the whole area shook violently as if the ground had collapsed, the soil rolled, and smoke and dust filled the air, blocking everyone’s view.
When everything calmed down, everyone looked up and found that a small hill had completely disappeared.
Instead, there is a circular pit with a diameter of more than ten meters. The bottom of the pit is covered with dense, criss-crossing cracks, which is shocking to the eye.
“What kind of move is this?!” Cold sweat broke out on Darui’s forehead. This move was even more terrifying than the previous ninjutsu. If someone was caught in it, he would be crippled even if he didn’t die!
Susanoo was kneeling on one knee at the bottom of the pit, with a charred spot on his chest, obviously seriously injured.
But Fugaku’s face was full of calmness.
“Is this the extent of the attack power of the tailed beasts? Then it’s my turn.”
Fugaku murmured a few words in a low voice, and his eyes suddenly became sharp!
Chapter 52: Want to fight me? Find your true self first! (Old version)
He roared towards the sky, and the black flames on his body suddenly surged. “Boom!” The scorching temperature caused the air to distort, and the scorching heat spread out, creating a circle of ripples visible to the naked eye.
“Boom!” Susanoo rose from the ground, its body expanded nearly half a foot, and rushed towards the wooden man like a steel giant, giving the opponent a great sense of crisis.
“Two-tail——!”
The wooden man gritted his teeth and shouted, and his two arms quickly expanded, becoming more than twice as thick, and swung towards Susanoo with a “boom”.
The two fists collided, and a visible shock wave raged, destroying everything in its path!
At the edge of the battlefield, in a hidden corner, White Zetsu was hiding in the shadows, a rare look of shock revealed in its lifeless eyes.
“Tsk tsk, the power of the Uchiha is really beyond everyone’s imagination…” It muttered to itself, already having the idea of ​​retreating, and wanted to take this information back to tell Obito as soon as possible.
However, just as this thought came to mind, a bone-chilling chill suddenly hit me from behind.
Bai Jue turned around suddenly, but only had time to see a flash of silver light, and then its head flew high and blood gushed out.
At the last moment when consciousness faded away, it only saw Shisui’s indifferent face and those eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.
“Shisui…how did he discover me…” White Zetsu’s residual thoughts echoed in the void. Until his death, he never understood how he was killed without any awareness.
This is the terrifying thing about Shunshin Shisui. His speed and perception have long surpassed the limits of ordinary people.
Shisui looked at the fallen figure of White Zetsu, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
“Fortunately, I have the ability to see…”
He whispered to himself. Previously, Sakuya asked him to wander around the edge of the battlefield, but he didn’t understand what it meant. Unexpectedly, he actually gained something.
If not for this, he would probably have found it difficult to discover the White Zetsu who was hiding so deeply.
“There is actually something like this in the Ninja World…”
Shisui was secretly alert in his heart, he decided to report the matter and let Sakuya strengthen the monitoring and investigation of this mysterious creature.
On the other side of the battlefield, the atmosphere between Raikage Ai and Sakuya had become extremely tense.
The Raikage looked at the stalemate on the battlefield and felt extremely anxious. He knew very well that if it dragged on like this, it would only be disadvantageous to the Hidden Cloud Village.
So, he couldn’t bear it any longer, strode forward, and shouted in a deep voice:
“Stop wasting time! In the end, it’s up to you and me to fight! Little brat, you could only run for your life in front of Ohnoki, and now in front of me, the ending will be the same!”
Upon hearing this, Sakuya curled up the corner of his mouth into a faint smile, which contained both contempt for the Raikage and confidence in his own strength.
“At the beginning, I just didn’t want to get entangled with that old man.”
He slowly stood up, his aura instantly rising to its peak, “Since you are so impatient, let’s give it a try.”
As Sakuya finished his words, two powerful chakras rushed into the sky like a mountain torrent.
Raikage Ai roared, and all the lightning chakra in his body condensed into the form of a thunder dragon, which wrapped around his body and pounced on Sakuya; while Sakuya flashed and instantly appeared on the side of the Raikage, waving the long sword in his hand, sending out silver sword beams, and instantly slashed back.
On the battlefield, the fight between the two quickly became the focus.
Raikage Ai suddenly jumped up like a black lightning, instantly crossing a distance of dozens of meters and heading straight for Sakuya.
His speed was so fast that even the air was torn apart, creating sonic booms, demonstrating the terrifying power of the Raikage’s taijutsu.
He had only one goal – to take advantage of the slightest moment of carelessness that Sakuya might have and kill him instantly.
“Thunder Bomb!”
Ai roared, and his lightning chakra surged violently, as if he was going to tear the world apart. He threw a punch, and the lightning condensed on his fist hit Sakuya like a substance. Wherever he passed, the space seemed to be distorted.
However, Sakuya did not panic as the Raikage had expected. A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, and then his body shook, and he disappeared without a trace at the moment when the Raikage’s fist was about to touch him.
“Mirror Flower and Water Moon!”
Sakuya’s voice sounded beside the Raikage’s ears, but he was nowhere to be seen.
It turned out that he had already used his illusion ability to create a perfect illusion, making the Raikage mistakenly believe that he had been tricked.
Under the cover of this illusion, Sakuya had quietly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and instantly moved behind the Raikage.
“What!?” The Raikage was horrified. He never expected that Sakuya would have such a cunning method.
But as the Raikage, his reaction was also extremely fast. He turned around in an instant, ready to attack again.
However, Sakuya did not give him this opportunity. He sneered, and his other hidden Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly opened, releasing an unprecedented strange light.
Under the cover of this light, the Raikage’s perception suddenly became blurred, as if everything around him became illusory and uncertain.
“This is… the art of clones?! How could this be possible?!”
The Raikage was horrified, and he suddenly realized that what he had just caught might just be a clone of Sakuya.
But the real Shuo Ye has disappeared at this moment.
Chapter 53: Sneak attack on Sakuya? Crush the Tailed Beast Ball! (Old version)
“How…how is this possible!?”
On the edge of the battlefield, everyone witnessed this scene and was stunned with shock.
They had never seen such exquisite tactical coordination and application of ninjutsu. Sakuya’s fighting skills were far beyond their imagination.
“Is this Sakuya? He can actually master this level of illusion and Flying Thunder God Technique at the same time, and also has the unknown ability of Mangekyo…”
A senior ninja muttered to himself, his eyes full of awe for Sakuya.
“Moreover, his clone technique is so realistic that even the Raikage was almost fooled…” another ninja added, his tone full of disbelief.
On the battlefield, Raikage Ai also had a solemn expression on his face. He knew very well that he had underestimated Sakuya’s strength.
“Little ghost, next time, your luck won’t be so good.”
He took a deep breath, and the lightning chakra in his body began to boil again, preparing for the next battle.
As for Shuo Ye, he was standing not far away, with a faint smile on his face, as if everything was under his control.
The figure of Raikage Ai was like a ray of thunder on the battlefield, and every step he took was accompanied by the shaking of the ground and the flash of lightning.
He knew very well that he had no time to waste and had to give his all to have a chance of killing Shuo Ye instantly.
So, he roared, and the lightning chakra in his body boiled. The lightning ninjutsu “Lightning Armor” instantly covered his whole body, increasing his speed and strength to the extreme.
“Explosive Bomb, Extreme!”
The Raikage roared, and rushed towards Sakuya like a thunder cannonball. Wherever he passed, the air was torn apart, making a sharp roar.
He poured all his strength and will into this attack, vowing to completely defeat Sakuya.
At the same time, Yukito, who was fighting with Fugaku, suddenly turned around and roared in the direction of Sakuya:
“Two-tail! Tailed Beast Ball!”
In an instant, a huge energy bomb tore through everything, struck instantly, and caused countless air explosions!
“Yumujin! You’re looking for death!”
Upon seeing this scene, Fugaku’s face changed, and he rushed towards the tailed beast-transformed Yuzuki-jin like a madman!
Yukito should have been his opponent, but now he suddenly attacked Sakuya, which was almost a slap in the face to him!
However, facing this shocking blow, Sakuya simply turned his head slightly, and a hint of seriousness finally flashed in his eyes.
“To have come this far… I think we really need to be more serious—”
“Susano, no!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he gently raised his hand, and a huge blue giant instantly rose from the ground – that was his Susanoo, so huge that it was more than three times the size of Fugaku Susanoo, like a god of war from ancient times, standing between heaven and earth.
“Humph, you dare to be so presumptuous with just a Tailed Beast Ball.”
Sakuya’s voice was cold and majestic. He controlled Susanoo, stretched out a giant hand, and easily caught the Tailed Beast Ball of the Two-Tails.
In that horrific explosion, Susanoo not only did not waver at all, but instead it slowly crushed the Tailed Beast Ball with incredible strength, as if it was just an insignificant toy.
This scene stunned everyone present for a moment, and even their breathing seemed to stop.
They couldn’t believe their eyes. What kind of power could destroy the Tailed Beast Ball so easily?
“This… How is this possible…”
Darui and the others were horrified. They had thought that it would be a perfect opportunity to launch a surprise attack while Sakuya was being restrained by the Raikage, but they had not expected that Sakuya’s strength was so terrifying that even the Tailed Beast Ball could not hurt him at all.
And after Sakuya crushed the Tailed Beast Ball, he glanced at the people around him with a lightning-like gaze.
There seemed to be some mysterious power in his eyes, that was the domineering aura, a terrifying ability that could shock people and weaken the opponent’s will.
Under the influence of this power, Darui and the others felt their minds shaken, as if they were restrained by an invisible force, and even moving became extremely difficult.
“Is this the real strong one…”
Someone murmured, his voice full of awe and despair.
They had never seen such a powerful existence. The power and momentum displayed by Shuo Ye were far beyond their imagination.
At this moment, the entire battlefield fell into a dead silence, with only Sakuya’s cold and majestic voice echoing: “In the face of absolute power, any conspiracy and trickery seems so pale and powerless.”
Although his voice was soft, it was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone’s heart and forcing them to face the reality before them.
As the situation on the battlefield gradually became clear, Fugaku slowly walked to Sakuya’s side, with a look of guilt and self-blame on his face.
“Sakuya, it was my negligence that gave the Two-Tailed Fox an opportunity to take advantage of me.”
He apologized in a low voice, his eyes full of resentment.
Sakuya shook his head gently, his eyes deep and calm.
“No problem, Fugaku, you have done well enough. Leave the rest of the battle to me. I will take Xuan Jing and the others to quickly clear the battlefield.”
There was an unquestionable firmness in his words, as if everything was under his control.
Fugaku was stunned when he heard this, then he realized that Sakuya was a well-known fighting maniac in the ninja world. For him, such a challenge might be exactly what he desired.
Chapter 54: One versus Two! Cutting down both tails with one sword! (Old version)
He nodded, stepped aside, and secretly cheered for Sakuya in his heart.
At this time, the Raikage Ai was standing proudly on top of the Two-Tails, looking down at Sakuya with a challenging gleam in his eyes.
“Shuo Ye, aren’t you looking down on us by doing this?”
His voice resounded through the sky like thunder, full of fighting spirit.
Sakuya smiled slightly, with a faint arc on the corner of his mouth. He waved his hand lightly, and the huge Susanoo disappeared instantly, replaced by a tight black robe with a faint lightning flowing on it, like the attire of the god of death, revealing an indescribable majesty and power.
Armament Haki—Entanglement State!
This is Sakuya’s strongest fighting form at the moment, and it also reflects his absolute confidence in his own strength.
“Oh? Taking back Susano means I look down on you?”
Shuo Ye’s voice was calm but powerful. He slowly pulled out a long sword from nothingness. The blade was slender and sharp, and it flashed coldly under the moonlight.
“Then, let me show you my true power.”
The Two-Tailed roared at the sight, clearly angry at Sakuya’s slight.
It desperately condensed the Tailed Beast Ball again, ready to deal a fatal blow to Sakuya.
However, Sakuya just smiled faintly, without moving, and just gently waved the long sword in his hand.
“Ichidao Style: Cutting the Sky!”
Following Sakuya’s low shout, a huge knife-shaped shadow suddenly slashed out, cutting through the night sky, and heading straight for the Tailed Beast Ball of the Two-Tails with the momentum of destroying the world.
The sword shadow contained all of Sakuya’s power and will, as if even the space was split in two.
The two collided, causing a deafening roar. However, shockingly, the seemingly powerful Tailed Beast Ball was cut off by the sword shadow, turning into tiny dots of light and dissipating into nothingness.
And Sakuya’s figure was still as steady as a rock, with his long sword pointing to the sky, and his demeanor was outstanding.
At this moment, everyone present widened their eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.
“This… How is this possible… His swordsmanship has reached this level?” Darui and others murmured to themselves, their hearts filled with shock and awe.
They knew that the man before them had surpassed their imagination and had become someone they could never reach.
Sakuya stood on the edge of a towering cliff, the wind howling around him, as if even nature was cheering for him.
The setting sun in the distance was swallowed by dark clouds, and the sky was gradually dyed blood red, as if it was an ominous sign for the upcoming battle.
Ai and Erwei looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy.
“He won’t let us go!” The sweat on Ai’s forehead evaporated quickly in the wind, but it couldn’t hide the tension in his heart.
If at this point he still can’t see the gap between himself and Sakuya, then he doesn’t deserve to be called the Raikage.
Niwei stood beside him. Although her eyes were burning with fighting spirit, the slight tremor at the corners of her mouth revealed her panic.
The air around them became unusually heavy, as if waiting for a storm to break out.
“Come on, join forces! Perhaps, our chances are running out.”
Erwei shouted, and the tail on his body pointed straight ahead like a sharp sword, flashing a faint light.
Ai nodded, and the two stared at each other, knowing tacitly that only by going all out could they contend with this seemingly invincible being.
“Lightning Release: Thunder Plow Hot Blade: Double Enhanced Version!”
Ai growled, and his body instantly merged with the second tail. The power of the two gathered into one, transforming into a bright lightning blade that cut through the sky and headed straight for Shuo Ye.
This attack was the strongest combined skill they could perform, containing enough power to shake mountains.
However, a cold smile appeared on Sakuya’s lips, as if he had seen through their every move. He raised his palm slightly, and a deep voice echoed in the air like a dull thunder:
“Too slow.”
In an instant, Sakuya’s figure disappeared from the spot, replaced by a loud noise.
The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit surged in his body, as if countless thunders were gathering in the palm of his hand.
His figure instantly appeared in front of Ai and Erwei, and the air around him seemed to be torn apart by him.
“Now, feel the despair!”
A heavy punch was thrown, and the shock wave spread in all directions like an ocean wave, and the air instantly became distorted.
“Sky Burial! Big Explosion!”
Shuo Ye shouted and threw a punch. It seemed simple and ordinary, but wherever the fist passed, the space seemed to be torn apart, and an indescribable vibration force erupted instantly.
The moment the lightning blade came into contact with the vibrating force, it shattered like fragile glass and turned into specks of lightning that dissipated in the air.
“What!?”
Ai and Niwei exclaimed at the same time. They looked at the scene in disbelief, their hearts filled with shock and fear.
They never expected that Sakuya could break their strongest joint skills so easily.
Ai and the Two-Tail’s attacks seemed so insignificant in front of this force, like a grain of sand blown away by the wind, powerless to resist.
The two-tailed attack was smashed to pieces, and Ai was knocked back repeatedly.
“Don’t underestimate me!”
Ai roared, and instead of retreating, he advanced, stomping on the ground hard, creating countless cracks, and rushed forward in an instant!
Chapter 55: End! Big Explosion! Raikage Defeats! (Old Version)
At this moment, Sakuya concentrated the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to the extreme, and the entire space trembled.
As he roared, the surrounding world seemed to tremble, and the huge shock waves swept towards Ai and Erwei like surging waves.
“Big explosion! Split the sea!”
Shuo Ye roared and punched out with both fists. Wherever the fists passed, the space seemed to be torn apart, and a devastating force erupted instantly.
Ai and Erwei were unable to resist the impact of this force and could only watch themselves being swallowed by it.
“Boom!” With a deafening sound, the entire battlefield seemed to tremble at this moment.
When the dust settled, everyone saw that Ai and Erwei had disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only a huge deep pit, and smoke and scorched earth filling the air.
“This… is this Sakuya’s true strength…” Darui and others stared blankly at the scene in front of them, their eyes full of shock and despair.
They had never seen such a horrific attack, nor had they ever thought that someone could defeat such powerful beings as Ai and Nibi so easily.
As for Shuo Ye, he stood quietly on the battlefield. The lightning and vibration force around him gradually dissipated, and he returned to his calm and composed appearance.
His eyes swept across the crowd, as if announcing the end of the battle.
“The battle is over.”
Sakuya’s voice was calm and powerful, but it was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone’s heart.
In Konoha Village, inside the Hokage Building, the atmosphere was solemn and tense.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen sat together with a group of senior officials, discussing the latest battle report with serious expressions.
“According to news from the front, Sakuya and Ai had a head-on encounter.”
A ninja hurried in, his voice a little hurried, “I’m afraid the Uchiha is in danger this time.”
“Humph, the Uchiha have been too arrogant these years. It’s time to teach them a lesson.” Danzo snorted coldly, with a sinister look in his eyes. “We must seize this opportunity to root out the trouble.”
“That’s right! We can’t just sit back and watch the Uchiha get bigger!”
“Just in time to teach the Uchiha a lesson!”
However, just as everyone was discussing and planning how to deal with the Uchiha, another ninja rushed in and interrupted their conversation.
“Report to Lord Hokage, the situation on the front line has suddenly changed!”
The ninja’s voice was filled with shock that could not be concealed, “Sakuya and the Uchiha people actually used an unprecedented combination of ninjutsu, the power is amazing, conservatively estimated to be at the level of Kage!”
“What?!”
There was an uproar in the room. The Third Hokage stood up suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief, “Combination ninjutsu? This… How is this possible!”
Everyone looked at each other, shocked beyond words.
Combined ninjutsu, a tactic that perfectly combines the power of multiple ninjas with ninjutsu, not only doubles the power, but also has extremely high strategic value and can turn the tide of battle in an instant.
“If this ninjutsu can be used by Konoha…”
The Third Hokage muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with greed and desire.
But soon, he regained his composure, frowning, “But Kumogakure has the Two-Tails and Ai. Can the Uchiha really defeat such a force?”
“What Danzo-sama said is absolutely true.”
Danzo spoke at the right time, seemingly pouring cold water on them, but in fact he was secretly calculating in his heart, “Although the combined ninjutsu is powerful, it is also cumbersome and difficult to deal with flexibly. What’s more, the Kumogakure has a deep foundation, and the Two-Tails and Ai are even more difficult opponents.”
Just as everyone was talking about it and full of doubts about the future of Uchiha, another shocking news came.
“The Raikage and the Two-Tails were defeated!” This time the news was brief and shocking, like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone in the Hokage building stunned.
The Third Hokage slammed the table and stood up, unable to conceal the shock on his face, “The Uchiha actually did it, they… they actually defeated the Raikage and the Two-Tails!”
There was dead silence in the room, and everyone was speechless at the sudden news.
It was hard for them to imagine that the Uchiha family, which had always been regarded as a hidden danger to Konoha, could burst out with such amazing power and accomplish such an incredible feat.
“Sakuya…he really is a genius.”
The Third Hokage murmured to himself, with both amazement and worry in his eyes, “If such power cannot be used by the village, in the future…”
Danzo fell into deep thought, secretly thinking about how to use this opportunity to both weaken the Uchiha’s power and bring strategic resources such as combined ninjutsu under Konoha’s control.
On the battlefield, the smoke had not yet dissipated. Ai fell to the ground, breathing heavily and with difficulty. Beside him was the equally embarrassed Two-Tails Jinchuriki, and several elite Kumogakure ninjas. Without exception, all of them had lost their combat effectiveness.
Sakuya stood in the center of the battlefield. Although his clothes were torn, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he exuded an indescribable majesty.
“We…really did it…”
Fugaku looked at this scene with a slightly trembling voice. The Uchiha clan members beside him also had a look of disbelief on their faces, but more of it was excitement and pride.
This battle not only proved the strength of Uchiha, but also made the name of Uchiha famous throughout the ninja world.
Chapter 56 My name is Uchiha Madara! Why don’t you surrender? (Old version)
“Sakuya, what should we do next?” Fugaku stepped forward, stood side by side with Sakuya, and asked about the next plan.
Shuo Ye was about to speak, but suddenly, his brows furrowed, as if he had noticed something. His figure flashed, and the long sword in his hand turned into a silver lightning, heading straight for Ai who had lost the power to resist.
This sudden change caught everyone off guard and there were exclamations everywhere.
“Lord Sakuya, this is…” Fugaku shouted in astonishment, but he only saw an unprecedented solemnity flashing in Sakuya’s eyes.
Just as the long sword was about to touch Ai, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of Ai, easily avoided the attack, and took Ai away from the spot.
The black shadow was illusive and ghostly. It was Obito. He used the virtualization ability of his Mangekyō Sharingan and appeared in front of everyone’s shocked gaze.
“Who?!” The Uchiha clan members shouted angrily. They couldn’t believe that someone dared to intervene at this time and try to snatch the fruits of victory.
“The power of the Uchiha should not be underestimated.”
Obito’s voice was low and cold. He slowly turned around and looked at Sakuya. Their eyes met in the air and sparks flew.
Obito’s face was hidden under the mask, but his Mangekyō Sharingan were like two bright stars, emitting a captivating light.
“The rat in the shadows actually dares to show up at this time?”
Sakuya gripped the long sword tightly and spoke calmly.
“Humph, it’s just a game.”
Obito chuckled, his tone full of amusement, “But your performance as Uchiha really impressed me. However, I will not give up the Two-Tails.”
Before he finished his words, Obito transformed into a black shadow again and attacked Sakuya.
The battle between the two men broke out in an instant, with such speed and strength that everyone present felt suffocated.
“This…what is going on?!”
At the edge of the battlefield, the ninjas of Konoha and the remaining forces of Kumogakure all widened their eyes, too shocked to speak.
They had never seen such a fierce battle, nor had they seen anyone so calm in front of Sakuya.
“That guy…he actually has the Mangekyō Sharingan!”
Some members of the Uchiha clan cried out in surprise, they felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Obito stood in a corner of the battlefield, a playful smile on his face, his eyes full of admiration: “As expected of the Uchiha’s strongest genius, Sakuya, your strength is truly amazing.”
His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone, as if it was an acknowledgement of Sakuya, but also a provocation to the Uchiha clan.
Upon hearing this, Sakuya curled up his lips into a cold smile, which showed both recognition of Obito’s strength and suspicion of his identity. He slowly stepped forward, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring directly into Obito’s eyes hidden under the mask:
“Your tricks won’t work on me.”
Obito was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter, his voice revealing an inexplicable confidence and arrogance:
“Oh? It seems that you have recognized me, but this is not important. What is important is that I now, in the name of Uchiha Madara, demand that your Uchiha clan hand over the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire battlefield instantly became boiling.
Fugaku and the others stepped forward, their expressions solemn. They stared at Obito in disbelief, as if he were looking at a madman: “You…you are Madara? How is this possible! Madara has already…”
“Long gone, isn’t it?”
Obito interrupted Fugaku, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, “But in this ninja world, some secrets will never be revealed. Now, I, Uchiha Madara, am back.”
“Nonsense!”
Fugaku shouted angrily and clenched his weapons tightly. The Uchiha clan members around him also took up fighting stances and were ready for battle.
Although they were shocked by Obito’s identity claim, they were more aware that the person in front of them, whether it was Madara or not, must not be allowed to take away the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails easily.
“Humph, stupid.”
Obito snorted coldly, as if he had foreseen their reaction, “Do you think that you can stop me with your strength? I, Uchiha Madara, have never failed to get what I want.”
As he spoke, black chakra began to flow around Obito, and the light of his Mangekyō Sharingan flickered beneath his mask.
“stop!”
Sakuya suddenly shouted, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Obito, with the long sword in his hand pointing directly at his throat, “You want to use the name of Madara? Today, I will let you know that the name of Uchiha cannot be tarnished!”
Obito was wearing a black and red cloud robe with a confident smile on his face, but that smile was shattered by Sakuya’s contemptuous sneer.
Sakuya’s gaze was like ice, piercing straight into Obito’s heart, as if seeing through all his vanity and pride.
“It seems that I haven’t appeared for too long, and you have forgotten my power, Uchiha Madara.”
Obito’s voice was low and contained a hint of disdain.
He stood there, as if announcing his existence to the whole world, but Sakuya’s gaze was like a sharp blade, tearing his disguise to pieces.
“You are just a loser, but you feel very accomplished pretending to be a genius, right? Obito?”
Chapter 57: Just the last one! Don’t be ridiculous! (Old version)
Sakuya ruthlessly revealed Obito’s identity, his words full of contempt, as if he was mocking a child who overestimated his own abilities.
“you!?”
Obito’s pupils shrank suddenly, but he quickly calmed down and said coldly, “Who is Obito? Ridiculous!”
The Uchiha people around were also shocked and looked at Obito in disbelief, their hearts full of confusion and anxiety.
Seeing this scene, Obito’s face instantly darkened, and the murderous intent in his eyes was like a violent storm. Black Zetsu whispered in his ear: “Sakuya must be dealt with, otherwise the Moon Eye plan will be out of the question.”
Obito clenched his teeth, feeling anxious in his heart. He absolutely could not admit his identity at this moment, otherwise his plan would completely fail.
“I will let you understand how big the gap is between you and me.”
Obito’s voice was cold, as if to dispel all doubts and uneasiness.
At this moment, a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of Ai and others, and they knew in their hearts that this might be a good opportunity for them to escape from the battlefield and take advantage of this black-robed man who appeared out of nowhere.
“Let’s do it!”
At the command, the atmosphere on the battlefield instantly became tense, and the air was filled with condensed chakra waves.
The corners of Shuo Ye’s mouth curled up into a cold smile, his eyes were determined, and he thought to himself: “It’s a good opportunity to try the fully evolved state of Broken Jade.”
As his mind focused, chakra surged out of his body like a tide, instantly surging and filling his entire body with immense power, causing every nerve in his body to revel.
“This power…”
Obito’s heart trembled, and he could not hold back his sneer. He suddenly felt uneasy, as if a hurricane was coming towards him. Sakuya’s breath was like a wild flame, suffocating.
“bluff!”
Taking a deep breath, Obito was full of confidence, thinking that Sakuya was just exhausted after the battle with Ai and posed no threat.
Just when he was feeling proud, a sudden shock made his hair stand on end and he felt a strong sense of crisis approaching.
“This… this is…”
When Ai and the others saw this, their eyes lit up. They felt an unprecedented powerful chakra force.
“Something’s wrong!”
When Obito saw this, alarm bells rang in his heart.
He reacted quickly, his body instantly becoming ethereal in an attempt to avoid the impending fatal blow.
But Sakuya was faster than him. His figure flashed, and a dazzling sword light cut through the night sky. Obito felt a chill on his shoulder, followed by severe pain. If he had not turned into a hollow in time, he would have died on the spot.
“What a pity.”
Sakuya’s voice sounded softly in Obito’s ears, and that casual tone contained murderous intent and sarcasm that could not be ignored.
Obito’s body trembled violently, he had never been so close to death, fear and anger intertwined, making his eyes even crazier.
“Shenwei, what a useful ability. So, what about the next strike?”
Sakuya’s voice was like a low rumble of thunder, with an unstoppable momentum that seemed to tear the night sky apart.
At this moment, he was like a god walking out of the darkness, looking down at the self-righteous fool, waiting for the moment to push him into the abyss.
Obito’s heart was beating violently in his chest, and every beat seemed to be ringing an alarm bell. He stared at Sakuya in disbelief, with a raging storm in his heart.
“What’s going on! What did he do?!”
He muttered to himself, trying to make sense of this sudden change. The Mangekyō Sharingan, the bloodline limit that the Uchiha clan was so proud of, had lost its effect just now, as if it was suppressed by some more powerful force.
“Illusion!?”
This thought flashed through Obito’s mind, but then he shook his head. That speed and power were definitely not something that ordinary illusions could achieve.
“It’s so fast that even my Mangekyō Sharingan can’t react… Flying Thunder God!?”
His thoughts involuntarily drifted to the legendary golden flash – Minato Namikaze, the man also known for his speed.
But even so, he could not completely equate Sakuya with the Flying Thunder God Technique, because what he displayed seemed even more mysterious.
Fugaku, Shisui and other Uchiha clan members were equally shocked. They looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
“Sakuya’s illusions…are getting more and more powerful!” Fugaku whispered, with both amazement and pride in his voice.
They knew about Sakuya’s talent in illusion, but they never thought that he would develop to such an extent that he could inadvertently trick everyone, including Obito, without them realizing it.
Sakuya stood there, feeling satisfied as he felt the chakra flowing through his body and the subtle pleasure brought by the knife.
In order to practice his art of illusion, he often put himself in a state of losing his five senses, so as to hone his ultimate control over illusion and reality.
The attack just now was made in this state, using the speed and power that the Hogyoku instantly burst out, almost killing Obito.
Although he failed in the end, he was satisfied enough.
“Next time, I will kill you!”
Obito’s voice echoed in the night sky, with unquestionable determination.
Chapter 58: The Ninja World is Shocked! The Hidden Cloud Sect is Completely Destroyed? (Old Version)
He stared at Sakuya’s back, his hands clenched into fists, as if he would attack again at any time.
However, reason told him that it was not appropriate to act rashly at this moment.
How could Sakuya, who was able to display such strength in that instant just now, leave such an obvious flaw?
“Trap…” Obito thought to himself, then snorted coldly and turned away.
Shuo Ye shook his head helplessly, feeling secretly regretful in his heart.
If Obito had been more impulsive, perhaps he would have really had a chance to kill him.
Shenwei, that terrifying ability to travel through space, is so unstoppable that it is almost invincible.
In the distant Kumogakure Village, the country of lightning, the chief elder of the Kumogakure Village was sitting on his throne with a frown on his face. His lightning chakra was almost overflowing from his body, and the whole hall was filled with a depressing and tense atmosphere.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence, and a ninja stumbled into the hall, with a voice that was difficult to conceal panic:
“My lord! Something terrible has happened! We have encountered an unprecedentedly powerful enemy. The Raikage-sama…he has been captured!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly exploded, and all the ninjas present widened their eyes in disbelief, as if they had heard a fairy tale.
The chief elder of the Hidden Cloud Village stood up suddenly, his huge body trembling with anger, his eyes flashing with lightning: “What did you say?! Ai was captured? How is this possible!”
The news quickly spread throughout the five major countries, causing a strong shock in other ninja villages.
Tsuchikage Ōnoki pondered in silence in the secret room of the Iwagakure Village, tapping his fingers lightly on the table as he pondered secretly in his mind.
“I didn’t expect that even Ai would fall.” Oonoki murmured.
Suddenly, two black-robed ninjas walked in again. One of them whispered, “Lord Tsuchikage, according to the report from the spies, Konoha has led his troops to retreat back to the village.”
“It seems that Ai has really lost. In that case…” The Tsuchikage thought for a moment, then said: “Notify the others to hold a meeting at 8 o’clock tonight to discuss the issue of fighting against Kirigakure.”
“Yes.” The black-clad ninja took the order and left quickly.
The other black-clad ninja stayed behind, waiting for the Tsuchikage to give further instructions. The Tsuchikage looked up and glanced, then said in a deep voice, “Send a special attack team to secretly lurk at the border of the Land of Lightning and wait for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack.”
If you don’t take advantage of an opportunity, you’re a bastard. The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Iwagakure Village have a blood feud for generations. If they don’t add insult to injury now, when will they?
“clear.”
The black-clad ninja nodded, turned and left.
Tsuchikage looked at the portraits of Kazekage and Ai on the wall with a complicated expression, and murmured, “This situation looks like it’s going to get messy.”
Meanwhile, Kazekage Sakin was standing on top of a sand dune in the Sand Village, staring into the distance. A solemn look flashed across his eyes, and he whispered, “The Uchiha clan now has such power that they can even capture Ai alive?”
Then, Fengying took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his eyes became firm: “We must control this force in our own hands, otherwise it will be too dangerous for us now.”
Of course, Sagami knew that if the Uchiha clan was allowed to grow stronger, there would be only two possible outcomes: surrender or destruction. He absolutely did not want to see the second ending. After all, neither outcome was in the interests of the Sand Village.
Just as Sha Jin was lost in thought, a sudden noise came from behind him.
Fengying listened with his ears tilted in confusion, and seemed to vaguely hear someone mention some words.
Fengying raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the source of the sound. Soon, Shajin found the cause of the noise on a high ground.
On this high ground, an elderly monk was half lying, his back against the rocks, his face full of wrinkles, but his cloudy eyes showed that he was not an ordinary old man, but rather revealed a hint of vicissitudes of life.
Moreover, the clothes he wore were also unique, and there was a jade pendant hanging around his waist, which was finely carved and lifelike, as if it were a living thing.
After seeing the old monk, Sakin’s pupils shrank suddenly, and he whispered, “Shukaku, are you almost unable to hold back?”
The border of the Hidden Mist Village.
Minato Namikaze was currently leading a team on a mission at the border far away from Konoha.
When he heard the news that the Raikage had been captured, his face showed an unprecedented seriousness.
“Sakuya…”
Minato whispered the name, feeling a mixture of emotions welling up in him.
He was well aware of Sakuya’s talent and strength, but he never thought he would grow to such a level that he could capture the Kage of a village single-handedly.
“We must return to the village immediately to learn the details.”
Minato made a decision, and his figure turned into a golden lightning again and disappeared from the spot, leaving only the residual chakra fluctuations in the air, proving his existence.
Deep inside Konoha’s Hokage Building, the atmosphere in the conference room was so solemn that it almost froze.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the main seat, his brows furrowed, his hands folded, his knuckles slightly white from the force.
Beside him, the two advisors, Mitomon En and Utane Koharu, had equally gloomy expressions, with complex emotions flashing in their eyes.
“Sakuya’s contribution has indeed exceeded our expectations.”
Mitomon En spoke first, his voice deep and powerful, “But his existence has already posed a threat to the balance of Konoha. Especially the Uchiha clan, they seem to have risen quietly with the help of Sakuya’s power.”
Utatane Koharu nodded in agreement, her eyes scanning the conference room, finally landing on the Third Hokage: “Sarutobi, we must take measures. Now is not the time to be soft-hearted.”
Chapter 59: The Third Generation is Stunned! The Raikage was captured alive? (Old Version)
In the conference room, many senior executives were discussing the issue and had different opinions.
However, with Mitomon En’s words, the atmosphere suddenly became tense: “I propose to use the power of public opinion to confuse right and wrong, and attribute the conflict between Sakuya and the Hidden Cloud Village to the secret cooperation between the Uchiha clan and the Hidden Cloud Village, and use this as a reason to refuse him from returning to Konoha.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the quarrel in the conference room reached its climax.
Some people think that this move is too despicable and damages Konoha’s reputation; while others think it is a necessary measure to maintain Konoha’s stability.
Just as everyone was arguing, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly stood up, his eyes deep, as if he could penetrate the barriers of time and space.
He paused, as if making a final struggle, but finally spoke slowly: “I did not participate in a sufficiently in-depth discussion at this meeting, so I cannot make a decision at this moment.”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the conference room.
Some were disappointed, some were surprised, and some were angry.
But the words of the Third Hokage were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Danzo sat in the corner with a sneer on his face. He thought to himself, “Sarutobi, oh Sarutobi, you chose this path after all. It’s ridiculous that you want to be a saint after being a whore.”
Danzo already had a plan in mind, and he began to secretly plan his next move.
At the same time, the villagers of Konoha were also talking about the news about Sakuya.
On the one hand, they were proud that Sakuya was able to defeat Ai and defend the honor of Konoha; on the other hand, rumors about the Uchiha clan’s cooperation with Kumogakure began to spread on the streets.
On the training ground, the young ninjas were talking about it. Some defended Sakuya, believing him to be a hero of Konoha; others were influenced by the rumors and looked at the Uchiha clan with suspicion.
On the winding path leading to Konoha, Sakuya and his group were moving slowly, their shadows lengthened in the afterglow of the setting sun, making them look particularly resolute.
Suddenly, a ninja on horseback interrupted the silence. He breathlessly reported the latest situation in the village to Sakuya:
“Lord Sakuya, public opinion in the village is extremely unfavorable to the Uchiha clan. It seems that someone deliberately spread rumors that the Uchiha clan has reached a secret agreement with Kumogakure and that even the capture of the Raikage was to lure the wolf into the house. There have been unusual movements within the village and the atmosphere is tense.”
When Shisui heard this, his expression suddenly changed, his eyes flashing with disbelief: “This…how is this possible? How could the Third Hokage and the others make such a decision? Are they crazy?”
He turned to look at Sakuya, his tone filled with anxiety and worry: “Sakuya, what should we do?”
Ai sneered at the side, his eyes wandering between Sakuya and Shisui, as if he was watching a good show.
He took the opportunity to speak, with a hint of temptation in his voice: “See, this is how Konoha treats its meritorious officials. Sakuya, why should the Uchiha clan linger in such a Konoha? Come to Kumogakure! Here, you will directly enter the upper echelons and get the respect and status you deserve.”
Ai’s plan is obvious. He is well aware of the strength of Sakuya and the Uchiha clan. As long as there is a possibility, he will spare no effort to win them over.
In his heart, he despised Konoha’s stupidity and short-sightedness. It was a waste of such a sharp blade that they didn’t know how to use.
However, Sakuya only glanced at Ai calmly, his tone calm but unquestionable: “I appreciate the kindness of Lord Raikage. But we will solve the Uchiha clan’s affairs ourselves. Don’t worry about it.”
Then, he turned around, his eyes sharp as torches, and looked towards the distant Konoha Village: “We Uchiha want to take back our own territory. Anyone who stands in our way will face our wrath. Anyone who stands in our way will be our enemy.”
When Shisui heard this, he was shocked. He knew Sakuya’s determination and strength, and understood the meaning behind this sentence.
It seems that this return to Konoha is destined not to be peaceful.
But even so, he was not afraid at all, because he knew that Sakuya’s choice was correct, and the glory and dignity of the Uchiha clan could not be trampled upon by anyone.
In the dark and damp basement, Orochimaru’s eyes flashed with a strange light, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He didn’t seem surprised by the changes in the situation within Konoha.
“A familiar method,” he said to himself, “White Fang did the same thing back then. It seems that the Uchiha clan has also encountered the same dilemma. Perhaps, there will be something interesting to watch.”
At the same time, Sakuya and his companions had arrived at the entrance of Konoha Village, but the scene before them made them feel depressed.
The entrance to the village was heavily guarded and the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed as if a war would break out at any time.
Sakuya sneered, feeling mixed emotions: “Is this how a hero is treated? This is ridiculous.”
Danzo led a team of elite ninjas and walked out slowly. His eyes were cold and he looked directly at Sakuya: “Sakuya, you are suspected of colluding with the Hidden Cloud Village. You must accept our full investigation and hand over Ai’s Two-Tails and Eight-Tails.”
Upon hearing this, Sakuya raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth: “Oh? Are you going to attack my Uchiha clan? What a big event.”
He looked around, the number of Uchiha was indeed insignificant compared to Konoha’s elite, but there was no fear in his eyes.
At this time, the Hyuga clan ninja stood up and tried to speak for the Uchiha clan, but Danzo interrupted him mercilessly:
“Hyuga clan, you are also suspected of collaborating with the enemy. You can’t even protect yourselves, so please stop interfering.”
Chapter 60: Uchiha is not allowed to enter the village? Suspected of treason? (Old version)
The Hyuga clan ninja had an unpleasant expression on his face, and was about to express his opinion further, but was gently interrupted by Sakuya: “I appreciate your kindness, Lord Hyuga, but the Uchiha clan will handle today’s matter.”
Sakuya’s words were filled with unquestionable determination. He turned to look at Danzo, his eyes full of contempt:
“Shimura clan, you dogs, when did you ever have the courage to speak like that in front of the Uchiha? Let the Third Hokage come out to see me!”
Danzo was furious when he heard this. He had never expected Sakuya to insult his family so directly: “Sakuya, you have one more crime to add to your list. How dare you be so rude!”
“Stop talking!”
However, Sakuya’s actions were faster than his words. He flashed and the long sword in his hand swept across like lightning. One of Danzo’s arms fell off and blood gushed out.
Danzo stepped back in horror and tried to resist, but his struggle seemed so powerless in the face of Sakuya’s overwhelming strength.
“I don’t want to repeat myself a second time.”
Sakuya’s voice was as cold as ice, and there was no hesitation or pity in his eyes.
The ninjas of Konoha stared at this scene with wide eyes in disbelief. They had never seen Sakuya so determined and ruthless.
Even Abby couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat, thinking to herself: “Shuo Ye, you are really cruel!”
Reactions from onlookers varied, from fear to anger to deep shock.
Danzo’s face was twisted with anger and unwillingness. He roared, his voice full of despair and madness: “Kill Sakuya!”
The incident just now happened suddenly. If I hadn’t reacted in time, I would have died on the spot and wouldn’t even have had the chance to activate Izanagi!
Before he finished speaking, the atmosphere between the Uchiha and Root ninjas had become extremely tense, and the momentum of both sides collided violently in the air like a strong wind and huge waves.
Although the Root Ninjas were well-trained, they were obviously suppressed by the sharp eyes and powerful chakra that the Uchiha clan seemed to be born with. Many people secretly exclaimed in their hearts:
The Uchiha people are not human beings at all, they are real fighting machines!
Although the Root Ninjas fought hard, the gap in strength was like a chasm that was difficult to cross.
Their attacks seemed so weak in front of the Uchiha people. Every confrontation was like an egg hitting a stone. The result was self-evident.
The Root ninjas were horrified. They had never thought that the Uchiha clan was so powerful. It was almost beyond their imagination.
Just as the confrontation between the two sides reached a fever pitch, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen finally showed up and shouted in a deep voice:
“Enough! Everyone, stop fighting now!”
His voice revealed an authority that brooked no disobedience, shocking everyone present.
The Third Hokage turned his gaze to Danzo, with a look of confusion and dissatisfaction on his face, as if he had just learned all this.
“Danzo, what do you mean by this? Why are you so rude to Sakuya?”
There was a reproach in his words, but there was a shrewd gleam in his eyes, and he was obviously pretending that he knew nothing about the matter.
Danzo became even angrier upon seeing this, but he also knew that this was not the time to argue with the Third Hokage.
He barely suppressed his anger and tried to explain: “I was just following the rules and asked Sakuya to cooperate with the investigation. I didn’t expect him to…”
His words stopped here, because he knew that no matter how he argued, he could not change the facts that had already happened.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen’s face turned pale. He glared at Sakuya and spoke with unquestionable authority:
“Sakuya, you acted too impulsively! No matter what the contradiction is, you shouldn’t act like this! You must give me a reasonable explanation and accept the punishment you deserve!”
However, before he could finish his words, a sharp sound of metal tearing suddenly rang out in the air, and then a long sword with a cold glow pierced through Danzo’s body like a ghost, leaving a shocking blood mark.
This scene happened so suddenly that everyone present was stunned, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.
“What’s going on!?” Everyone exclaimed, their faces full of disbelief.
Danzo widened his eyes and looked in disbelief at the long sword on his chest that was still trembling slightly, with an unprecedented fear and despair surging in his heart.
Why…I’m the one who’s injured again?
The Third Hokage saw this and roared, “Sakuya!”
He instantly burst out with powerful chakra and rushed towards where Sakuya was like a ghost.
However, when he approached, he found that Sakuya’s figure had dissipated like smoke, leaving only afterimages on the ground and residual illusion fluctuations in the air.
“Multiple shadow clones plus illusion? Sakuya, how dare you attack Konoha’s top brass in person! Are you planning to betray the village?”
The Third Hokage felt a surge of fear in his heart, as he knew very well that if the knife had hit him, the consequences would have been disastrous.
At this moment, Sakuya’s voice came from all directions, with a hint of sneer and provocation:
“Sama Sandaime, I have already given you the answer you requested. Look at Danzo-sama’s body, isn’t it worth it for me to swing this sword?”
Chapter 61: Danzo! Explain your arm! (Old version)
As Sakuya finished speaking, the injuries on Danzo’s body began to slowly disappear. It was Izanagi’s power that was taking effect.
However, this scene not only failed to calm the public anger, but made everyone present even more shocked.
“Izanagi!? Danzo! You better give me a reasonable explanation!”
The pupils of Shisui and other Uchiha clan members suddenly shrank, and they looked at Danzo in disbelief.
Izanagi is a forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan, a technique to change destiny that requires a Sharingan as the price!
And where did Danzo get the Sharingan?
Seeing this, Sakuya sneered and continued, “Danzo-sama not only mastered Izanagi, but also secretly collected countless Sharingans, and was willing to sacrifice his own people to achieve his goals. Every Sharingan on his arm is the blood, tears and pain of the Uchiha people!”
The next second, Sakuya’s fingertips shook lightly, and an invisible force instantly tore the white bandage on Danzo’s arm into pieces.
With Sakuya’s revelation, Danzo’s arm covered with Sharingan was exposed to everyone. The shocking scene made everyone feel disgusted and angry.
“Danzo, you old dog! How dare you desecrate the Sharingan of my Uchiha members like this!”
“You bastard! We will never let you go!”
The Uchiha clan members were furious and wished they could tear this despicable man into pieces.
“Danzo!”
Uchiha Shisui shouted angrily, and he rushed towards Danzo, as if he was ready to kill him himself.
No one was more angry than him. He had never imagined that this man who had always talked about the Will of Fire to him could be so dirty behind his back!
He didn’t consider the Uchiha clan members as partners, or even as human beings!
If I die one day, will my eyes appear on his arm?
When he thought of this, Shisui almost vomited on the spot.
“Stop!” Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked Shisui back with a punch and then stopped him.
Danzo snorted coldly: “Sakuya, I admit that I did have some problems in this matter, but!”
He looked at the people around him and said loudly, “Everyone, please believe me, I have never betrayed Konoha. All of this is to better protect the village!”
“How ridiculous! You even took away the bloodline limit of the people in the village in this way! And you still say you didn’t betray me?! What else do you want to do?!”
The Hyuga clan were equally furious. They knew very well how vile and shameful this behavior was, not to mention that it happened in their own village!
Hinata Hiashi took a step forward, stared at the Third Hokage, and said coldly: “Third Hokage, this matter must be explained!”
“Indeed! Danzo! You’ve gone too far!”
“Third generation, it seems that the roots also need to be thoroughly investigated!”
“Uchiha, you shouldn’t be treated like this!”
Even the Nara clan, Ino-Shika-Chou and other elite families of Konoha could not stand it anymore and came out to support the Uchiha and Hyuga clan’s position.
No one wants to be treated like this after dying for the village!
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen’s face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip from it. He sternly swept his eyes over Danzo and finally fixed on Sakuya, and said in a deep voice:
“Sakuya, I heard your request. Severe punishment is necessary! But the rules of Konoha cannot be violated. Although Danzo has made mistakes, he must abide by the law.”
After saying this, he looked at Danzo with pity. There seemed to be thousands of words in his eyes, but they turned into a silent sigh.
Dry!
Danzo cursed in his heart, but he could only helplessly accept the fate of taking the blame once again.
He knew very well that he had become the target of public criticism and any resistance would only sink him deeper into the quagmire.
The Third Hokage thought for a moment and decided to temporarily protect Danzo in the name of punishment, and then slowly plan his comeback after the storm has passed. However, his plan obviously did not take into account Sakuya’s determination and means.
Sakuya sneered, and appeared in front of Danzo in a flash, with a sharp short blade in his hand. He looked at Danzo coldly and said:
“Danzo, do you think you can escape? It would be too easy for you to die like this.”
After saying that, he swung his sword down without hesitation, and Danzo’s other arm fell off, with blood gushing out.
Danzo was horrified and wanted to use Izanagi, but Sakuya’s voice pierced his soul like ice: “Try using it again? Even the Third Hokage can’t save you, I said.”
Danzo’s face turned pale as paper in an instant, and he felt an unprecedented despair and powerlessness.
He knew that what Shuo Ye said was not false, and he was now like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Seeing this, the Third Hokage, although dissatisfied with Sakuya’s unauthorized actions, could only signal Danzo to endure it.
He knew very well that at this moment Danzo had lost all his trump cards and supports, and insisting any further would only make his end even more miserable.
Sakuya didn’t give Danzo any chance to breathe. He directly ignited the fire and turned the sin-stained arm into ashes.
He didn’t even absorb the power of his pupils, which showed that he hated it very much.
Danzo was heartbroken, but he could only watch his arm disappear into thin air.
Chapter 62: The Third Generation’s Position! Can’t Stay There For Long! (Old Version)
“Let’s go! Danzo!”
Seeing this, the Third Hokage no longer hesitated and stepped forward to take Danzo away.
During the entire process, Danzo didn’t even dare to utter a word of resistance, and completely lost his former dignity and dominance.
Sakuya sneered, looking at the back of the Third Hokage leaving, and thought to himself:
“The third generation can’t stay in this position for long.”
He knew very well that what happened today had completely changed the situation in Konoha, and the rift between him and the Third Generation would be irreparable.
At this moment, a cold chakra approached quietly, but Sakuya did not attack immediately.
He took a deep breath, calmed the waves in his heart, then turned around and led the Uchiha clan back.
After returning to the clan, Sakuya finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the war was won, even he felt a little tired.
However, when he saw Kushina run straight over to him and kiss him, that exhaustion instantly vanished.
He laughed silently, looking at the Uchiha people around him who admired him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
“Let’s celebrate tonight!” Sakuya announced with a smile, his voice full of determination and confidence.
Uchiha, also needs to take a breath.
The streets of Konoha were bustling with people and public opinion was surging like a tide. Everyone was discussing the shocking battle – the contest between Uchiha and Kumogakure.
In teahouses and markets, all topics revolved around “Uchiha is awesome” and “Sakuya is a hero”, and even the air was filled with the subversion and reshaping of old ideas.
“Have you heard? Uchiha Sakuya’s battle was like a god descending from heaven. He defeated the masters of Kumogakure without a single drop of blood!”
A young man with an excited face spoke loudly, attracting the approval of the people around him.
“Yes, although the Third Hokage is highly respected, time is unforgiving after all. It is the younger generation like Lord Sakuya who can carry the banner.” Another middle-aged man sighed.
“The most incredible thing is that it turns out that the Uchiha have been treated unfairly for so many years. That old fox Danzo is truly a beast in human form!” A woman interrupted indignantly, causing everyone to sigh.
“Shh – keep your voice down and don’t talk nonsense, or the Anbu will come to your door!”
Someone nearby reminded him nervously, but the civilian who spoke just curled his lips in disdain, obviously not afraid.
In Konoha’s high-level meeting room, the atmosphere was more solemn and hopeful.
Sakuya sat in the main seat, surrounded by the elites of the Uchiha clan and other high-ranking officials of Konoha. Everyone’s face was filled with unprecedented pride and expectation.
“According to the latest assessment report, the Uchiha clan’s strength has been significantly improved.”
As a representative, Shisui spoke first, his words full of pride for the tribe, “We have not only made a qualitative leap in combat capability, but also made great progress in intelligence gathering and tactical layout.”
Shuo Ye nodded slightly and swept his eyes deeply over everyone present. He knew that this improvement was not only an increase in strength, but also a rekindling of faith in the hearts of the tribesmen.
“Public opinion in the village is gradually improving, especially after Danzo’s secret was revealed. More and more villagers are beginning to understand and sympathize with the Uchiha clan’s past experiences.” An intelligence officer added, with a hint of relief in his voice.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, their eyes showing relief for past sufferings and determination for the future path.
“All this is because of Master Sakuya.”
Some people murmured in admiration, recalling the scene where Sakuya revealed Danzo’s true identity in public, which still made people feel frightened.
“If it weren’t for Lord Sakuya’s prompt decision, we would have been in big trouble returning to the village this time, and we don’t know how long it would take for Danzo to be punished.”
Shisui spoke again at this time, his tone became serious: “However, we can’t take it lightly. The attitudes of the other villages towards us are not friendly. They can’t stand Konoha mastering such terrifying power at the same time. Now, they are all putting pressure on us to hand over Ai, the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense.
Everyone knew that this was not just simple diplomatic pressure, but also a test and provocation of Konoha’s strength.
Shuo Ye seemed unusually calm. He smiled and said, “We should remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing situations. As long as we are strong enough, all external threats will be nothing but illusions.”
His voice was not loud, but it was full of unquestionable power, making everyone present feel at ease.
Sakuya sat on a towering rock, gazing at the hazy starry sky in the distance, various scenes from the war with Kumogakure constantly flashing through his mind.
His mind was filled with reflections on this war – the Uchiha clan’s endurance and explosive power, although they showed unparalleled strength in a short period of time, revealed their shortcomings in real combat.
The lack of individual combat power makes it difficult for them to achieve a decisive victory in the ever-changing battlefield.
“Strength requires stronger strength.”
Sakuya whispered to himself, his eyes determined.
Chapter 63: Zanpakuto System! Orochimaru in Action! (Old Version)
Just as he was thinking, he heard light footsteps behind him. Sakuya came to his senses and saw several young members of the Uchiha family walking towards him, with anxiety and expectation on their faces.
“Lord Sakuya, how…how should we face the upcoming battle?” One of the young Uchiha ninjas asked with a trembling voice. His eyes flashed with fear and expectation for the future.
At this moment, the system prompt sound suddenly sounded in Sakuya’s mind:
“Ding! The system is triggered, and other members begin to practice the Zanpakuto system. The host can get feedback rewards and randomly unlock 1 of the strongest Zanpakuto!”
He suddenly felt a warmth flowing through his body, and a potential deep in his body was being awakened.
A hint of joy flashed in Sakuya’s eyes. He immediately stood up and turned to face them, his eyes sharp:
“We need to set up another soul hall and gather more people. We want you to learn about a new power called Zanpakuto, so that every Uchiha member can master this powerful fighting system.”
“Zanpakutō?”
There was a hint of confusion in Shisui’s eyes.
“That’s right.”
Sakuya nodded slightly and explained, “You can think of it as a new ninjutsu. By awakening the power of the heart flow, you can find your own sword from the depths of your soul.”
“Just a knife?”
There was some confusion in Fugaku’s eyes. To be honest, it was hard for him to imagine how a sword could change the current predicament of the Uchiha.
“Don’t worry, you will know later.”
Sakuya smiled mysteriously and didn’t explain any more.
But the image of the Uchiha clan’s every member’s Zanpakuto and the horror of their domineering aura has already emerged in my mind!
At the same time, deep in the forest on the other side, Orochimaru was lurking quietly in the shadows.
His eyes were as sharp as a cheetah’s, his gaze fixed in the direction of the Uchiha clan’s territory.
The changes in Konoha aroused his strong interest, especially the strength of the Uchiha clan, which made him unable to control himself.
He thought to himself: “What on earth are these Uchiha practicing to emit such a powerful aura?”
At this moment, his sight inadvertently caught a familiar figure – Kushina.
The figure shocked his heart, and flames of greed instantly burst out in his eyes.
“This is a godsend opportunity… the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?” He thought to himself, eager to try.
As Kushina walked, she lowered her head in deep thought, unaware that danger was quietly approaching.
Orochimaru moved quietly among the trees, his movements as light as a ghost. The darkness blended him with the surrounding environment. Only his eyes, flashing with wild light, revealed his inner urgency.
“Kukina, what a great bait.” Orochimaru whispered to himself, his plan gradually taking shape in his mind.
“Brother, do you think I can join the Soul Hall?”
“Sasuke is so amazing, he will definitely be able to do it in the future.”
Just then, two childish voices were heard from the distant path, attracting Orochimaru’s attention again.
Uchiha’s little devil?
It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!
Turning his gaze away from Kushina, Orochimaru showed a hint of fanaticism in his eyes. Compared to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the current Uchiha interested him more!
Itachi, who was walking on the path with Sasuke, had deep eyes and was secretly thinking about how to pave the way for their future, especially the plan of joining the “Soul” Hall.
Just as my thoughts were in a state of confusion, a cold breath approached quietly, as chilling as a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
Itachi’s senses instantly sharpened, and he slightly turned his body, easily avoiding the sudden attack.
The attack missed, and a figure slowly appeared. It was Orochimaru, also known as one of the “Three Ninjas”, but the one that appeared at this moment was only one of his many clones.
“That Uchiha brat has a good reaction.”
Orochimaru’s voice was cold and a little amusement-filled. He was obviously surprised by Itachi’s sharpness, and he was secretly thinking in his heart that if he could recruit such a talented young man under his command, what a great help it would be to his research on the art of reincarnation.
Sasuke’s face was solemn. Although he was afraid, he was more worried about Itachi’s safety.
Itachi remained calm, slowly opened his Sharingan, and two red lights flowed in his eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky, observing every subtle change on the battlefield.
“Lord Orochimaru…what are you going to do?”
He had already recognized Orochimaru’s identity, and was now fully focused.
Orochimaru noticed Itachi’s vigilance and preparedness, and did not continue to attack impatiently.
After all, the strength Itachi just showed was not enough to make him afraid.
If you want to recruit such a powerful kid, you must use the right method.
He smiled and said calmly, “Is your name Itachi? Your eyes…are very strange!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru took a step forward, emitting strong chakra fluctuations with every step, as if he was gathering strength, or perhaps testing someone.
Itachi looked straight ahead, quickly forming seals with his hands, and the scarlet bloodshot under his eyes became more and more obvious.
“Hmm~~”
Orochimaru’s face suddenly moved closer, with his nose only a finger’s width away from Itachi’s, and their nose tips touching.
“As expected of the Uchiha clan, at such a young age, you can actually see through my stealth technique.”
After saying that, he stood up and stepped back a few meters.
Itachi also retracted his Sharingan, and the scarlet bloodshot in his eyes gradually disappeared.
Observation Haki, unfold!
Chapter 64: Want to cooperate! Then come and talk in person! (Old version)
“This is… interesting!”
Orochimaru’s lips curled up evilly: “Haha, what an amazing kid, I can’t help myself. I want you to be my experimental subject… What do you think?”
“No matter what, Lord Orochimaru, if there is nothing else, my brother and I will go home.”
Itachi took a deep breath and said coldly.
“Rejected? What a pity, answer, wrong.”
As soon as he finished speaking, countless giant snakes poured out from Orochimaru’s sleeves and rushed directly towards Uchiha Itachi!
Itachi roared in a low voice, his right eye spun rapidly, the power of the Sharingan burst out instantly, and a layer of blood-red halo expanded with him as the center.
“Fire Style! Great Fire Dragon Technique!”
“Crack~Boom~”
Accompanied by a loud roar, the remains of countless giant snakes fell from the sky, stirring up a cloud of dust.
“That was a close call!”
Itachi was breathing heavily, sweat on his forehead.
The side effect of this fire escape is that it consumes too much chakra, and because of his age, it is more difficult to use than before.
Orochimaru’s face looked very ugly. He had originally planned to capture Uchiha Itachi with this trick, but he had no idea that the other party at such a young age could make such a big noise.
This would be troublesome, as this place was too close to the Uchiha clan’s territory. Although the defenses were a little lax due to tonight’s celebration, this kind of noise would soon attract people here.
However, there is always a way to solve the problem.
Orochimaru smiled coldly: “Since we can’t get it, just destroy it. The corpse can also be used.”
In an instant, a surge of murderous intent surged out!
Just as Orochimaru was about to use his killing move to take down Itachi in one fell swoop, a breeze blew by, and a gentle and calm voice suddenly sounded behind him: “Orochimaru, do you want to die?”
Orochimaru turned around suddenly and saw a man in black holding a wooden sword standing quietly not far away.
“Lord Sakuya!”
When he saw the person coming, Itachi’s eyes couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise, and he couldn’t help but relax.
With Sakuya around, they were safe.
“Oh? You are the new Uchiha clan leader? Fugaku… he let a little brat like you be the clan leader, interesting.”
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and couldn’t help but speak coldly.
Sakuya’s appearance was like a ghost, catching Orochimaru off guard. What shocked him even more was that he couldn’t even catch a glimpse of the other party’s movements.
He opened his mouth and was about to say something else.
But the next moment,
Sakuya’s figure flashed, and the wooden sword turned into a green light, instantly piercing through Orochimaru’s clone, nailing it firmly to the ground, unable to move.
The whole process was clean and neat, without any drag, and everyone present was stunned.
“This…how is this possible!?”
Orochimaru’s clone’s pupils shrank and he couldn’t help but struggle to speak.
A glimmer of admiration flashed in Itachi’s eyes, he was well aware of how difficult it was for him to fight Orochimaru just now, but Sakuya was able to subdue him so easily, which showed how strong he was.
“Lord Sakuya… is so amazing!” Sasuke muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with infinite longing for the future.
In the thin moonlight in the forest, although Orochimaru’s clone was nailed to the ground by Sakuya’s wooden sword and could not move, the sinister smile never disappeared from his twisted face.
“Heh, Uchiha, I didn’t expect someone like you to appear. How about cooperating with me?”
The voice of Orochimaru’s clone was somewhat unwilling.
Upon hearing this, Shuo Ye raised a faint smile, but there was no fluctuation in his eyes.
“Orochimaru, I am more impressed by your skill in speaking than by your strength. However, if you are truly interested in cooperating, then please come to me in your true form. Your little tricks are nothing but a waste of time for me.”
When Orochimaru’s clone heard this, anger flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by cunning.
“Shuo Ye, it’s interesting, but cooperation is no joke. If I come in person, how can you guarantee my safety? What if I get chopped by you?”
Sakuye shook his head slightly, and the wooden sword in his hand shook slightly, making a low humming sound, as if it contained endless power.
“Safe? Haha, do you think I can’t kill you if you don’t show up in person? As for your activities, I am not completely ignorant of them… Immortality is not as difficult as you think.”
Before he finished his words, Sakuya flashed and the wooden sword turned into a sharp green light, heading straight for Orochimaru’s clone.
“this..”
Feeling the chill cutting into his skin, Orochimaru’s pupils shrank suddenly!
This is a sense of crisis coming from the depths of my soul. There is something wrong with this knife!
This time, Sakuya did not hold back at all. Wherever the wooden sword passed, the air seemed to be split in two, demonstrating astonishing destructive power.
However, Orochimaru automatically disbanded his clone before the sword could hit it.
“This… is this Lord Sakuya’s true strength?” Sasuke murmured to himself, his eyes full of desire and yearning for the strong.
“I still need to become stronger!”
Itachi stared at Sakuya’s figure, thinking secretly in his mind.
“Oh, so sharp?” Sakuya retracted the wooden sword, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.
Just now, I used my Zanpakutō to chop Orochimaru’s clone. If it had been hit directly, although it would not have killed Orochimaru outright, it would have been enough to hurt him.
After all, the wound of the soul is not so easy to heal.
Chapter 65: The Ninja Villages Put Pressure on Him! Are They Trying to Kill Sakuya? (Old Version)
After Sakuya said a brief farewell to Itachi, Shisui and other younger generations, his figure gradually disappeared into the night.
Shisui rushed over and looked in the direction where Sakuya left. Although he had thousands of doubts in his heart, they eventually turned into unwavering trust in Sakuya.
“Sakuya, are we really going to cooperate with Orochimaru? According to my intelligence sources, Danzo’s actions may also be his handiwork…”
Shisui confirmed again, a barely perceptible hint of worry in his voice.
Sakuya turned around, and his smile under the moonlight looked mysterious and confident. “Shisui, remember, strength is the key to controlling everything. As long as I always stand at the peak of strength, Orochimaru can only be my chess piece, a very useful chess piece.”
After saying that, he patted Shisui’s shoulder gently.
Time passed slowly and everything was developing in an orderly manner. However, Konoha’s peace did not last long.
As news of the joint pressure from several major ninja villages spread, the entire village was instantly shrouded in a tense atmosphere.
“What? They asked us to hand over Sakuya-sama unconditionally? And they also asked us to release the Raikage and return the tailed beasts? Why?”
“Don’t be ridiculous! We are the victorious nation!”
“It’s too bullying!”
The villagers were talking about it and were angry and confused about the unreasonable demands from the outside world.
“The power of Konoha has made other ninja villages wary. No one can tolerate the emergence of a second Senju Hashirama or even Uchiha Madara… The situation is not good.”
In the dark, some experienced ninjas were silently observing all this, secretly assessing the direction of the situation in their hearts.
In the center of Konoha Village, the sunlight was blocked by dense clouds, casting mottled shadows, which complemented the solemn atmosphere of the scene.
The villagers gathered closely together, looking with complicated eyes at the two parties confronting each other in the center of the square – Sakuya and the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sakuya’s eyes are deep and sharp, as if he can see through every corner of people’s hearts.
He spoke softly, his voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the square: “Third Hokage, are you going to hand me over?”
A trace of bitterness flashed across the face of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. He sighed and answered in his experienced voice:
“Sakuya, I am also thinking about the village. Sometimes, sacrifice is necessary. Other villages are already holding a meeting, and we have no choice.”
These words, like an ice blade in the cold wind, pierced everyone’s heart.
Danzo sneered at the side, and in that smile there was both disdain for Sakuya and resentment for almost losing his life last time.
“Sakuya, ah, Sakuya, do you really think you can escape from this?”
Danzo thought to himself, enjoying the pain and struggle that everyone showed over Sakuya’s possible sacrifice.
The surrounding villagers were in an uproar. They looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion and pain.
“Is this Konoha? The hero is going to be sacrificed?”
Such thoughts quietly spread among the crowd, and everyone’s face was filled with disappointment and anger.
However, Shuo Ye suddenly smiled, and there was a hint of teasing and determination in that smile.
“Oh? Sacrifice is inevitable?”
Sakuya chuckled, and a light flickered in his palm. That was his unique technique of solidification and transformation.
“I have the ability to turn you into my appearance. The Sandai’s chakra is close to mine, enough to be mistaken for the real thing. And I am still young, with infinite possibilities. The village will remember the Sandai, so how about you sacrifice yourself in my place?”
His words were full of provocation and he deliberately emphasized the words “The village will remember the Third Hokage”, drawing everyone’s attention to the Third Hokage again.
The Third Hokage’s face instantly turned pale. He never expected that Sakuya would have such a plan.
“No! If we are found out, the consequences will be disastrous!” He retorted hastily, with a hint of panic in his voice.
At this moment, everyone present was stunned.
They looked at Sakuya in disbelief, with mixed emotions surging in their hearts.
Sakuya actually dared to be so presumptuous in front of the Third Hokage and even made such a request. This was simply a challenge to the authority of the Hokage and a subversion of Konoha’s traditions!
The reaction of the third generation also disappointed them!
It’s okay to sacrifice Sakuya, but not myself?
“Sakuya, you should know that we can’t take any risks in this matter. Besides, I am the Hokage. If I die like this, it would be a blasphemy to the Hokage!”
The Third Hokage’s voice trembled a little. He had never seen such a bold and crazy young man.
“Hahaha! Interesting! Really interesting! The third generation… is so ugly!”
However, Sakuya seemed not to notice the shock of the crowd and the anger of the Third Hokage. He continued to laugh, his voice full of unruliness and arrogance.
“You keep talking about the will of fire! Now that the time has come for you to burn, you’re backing down, Third Generation?!”
“Stop joking!”
“Third Hokage, you are corrupt! What Konoha needs is not sacrifice, but change! It’s time for you to abdicate!”
After saying that, a huge amount of chakra rushed up from Sakuya’s body into the sky, and the majestic domineering aura ravaged the entire place.
When he stood there, it was as if he was standing in heaven!
