Greed

All the remaining energy in Uchiha Itachi's body was completely absorbed by Uchiha Yue, leaving the remnants of his corpse shriveled and dry.

"How could this guy...?"

In the distance, Uchiha Obito, who had already lost an arm, stared grimly at that enormous figure. He had never imagined that the Uchiha Clan extermination plan, which should have been foolproof, would suffer such a terrifying turn of events. Not only had the pawn he favored died, but he himself had lost an arm as well.

If he had not fled quickly just now, he would have ended up like Uchiha Itachi.

"Who the hell are you?"

Uchiha Obito stared at Uchiha Yue, who looked like a demon god beneath the moonlight, clenching his remaining fist tightly.

This guy was definitely not an ordinary member of the Uchiha Clan. In this world, aside from Madara and Zetsu, no one else should have known his identity. Yet this guy knew it. Such an unbelievable thing...

"Hehe, Uchiha Obito, you're next!"

The enormous dark-blue giant slowly turned around. Moonlight streamed into it like silver threads, while a pair of scarlet eyes stared indifferently at Uchiha Obito. The next moment, carrying an incomparably violent aura, it charged toward him.

"Hehe... whoever you are..."

Seeing this, Uchiha Obito sneered. The next moment, he activated Kamui. The surrounding space began to twist, swallowing Obito like water spiraling down a toilet.

"Kill him!"

Obito's voice vanished as a giant palm descended, leaving an enormous handprint in the ruins.

"Did he run?"

Uchiha Yue looked at the handprint before him, raised his hand, then twisted around and slapped beside him.

A faint scream rang out, as if he had swatted a mosquito. Opening his hand, he saw a blood-red lure in his palm. Amid the mangled flesh, traces of clothing could vaguely be seen.

"Xi, so weak. And you people want to be my enemies?"

Black flames ignited in his hand, reducing the bloody pulp to ashes that drifted down. His scarlet eyes lowered, gazing coldly around him. At some point, a group of expressionless ninja had appeared.

The battle just now had seemed lengthy, but in reality, it had lasted only a few dozen seconds.

"The Uchiha Clan has already been destroyed..."

An elderly man with a hunched back, a sinister appearance, and bandages wrapped around his face slowly stepped forward. His face was filled with greed as he stared at Uchiha Yue with great interest.

"I never expected someone else from the Uchiha Clan to awaken these eyes... and Susanoo as well... Itachi died by your hand, didn't he? What a pity!"

Shimura Danzō stared fixedly at Uchiha Yue's eyes, his face filled with astonishment. He had not expected Uchiha Itachi to be such trash. What should have been a certain clan extermination had actually been turned around and failed. Utter trash.

Uchiha Yue looked at Shimura Danzō, then at the Root ninja, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Hahaha, come on. Fight me, insects. Your time of death has come!"

Uchiha Yue grinned. The next moment, that enormous, demon-god-like figure turned into an afterimage.

"Kill him! Dig out those eyes for me!"

Shimura Danzō gave the order, then retreated. Upon hearing the command, the Root ninja immediately charged at Uchiha Yue. All manner of ninjutsu struck the Susanoo, which was growing ever larger and more terrifying.

Sparks and flashes of lightning exploded, but they did not harm the giant god in the slightest. Instead, those ninjutsu turned into energy and were absorbed by Uchiha Yue, making him continuously stronger.

Boom! Bang!

Thunderous blasts like exploding bombs rang out. Uchiha Yue used no special methods. He merely raised his hands, pressed his palms together, and clapped repeatedly as though swatting mosquitoes. In the blink of an eye, countless Root members were smashed into pulp and died completely.

Something was wrong!

Very quickly, several Root members noticed the problem. They discovered that the Chakra in their bodies was slowly draining away and flowing into the giant's body. The moonlight around them grew dimmer, and the surrounding air became colder and colder, as though the giant were absorbing their Chakra and the heat around them.

Moreover, as the battle continued, the giant showed no sign of weakening. Instead, it kept growing larger, and its strength became increasingly terrifying.

It could not be killed! Wearing it down was useless!

This was a monster!

However, it was already too late!

In only a short while, a large number of Root members died at Uchiha Yue's hands. Seeing this, Shimura Danzō's expression changed. He had never expected this monster to be so powerful and terrifying. His elite subordinates had been slaughtered before they could even hold out for a moment.

"Then let this old man test your strength!"

Shimura Danzō turned into an afterimage and charged at Uchiha Yue.

"Oh? After seeing my strength, you didn't choose to run away, but instead came closer to me? Danzo, you really do have admirable courage. In that case, I'll send you on your way!"

Uchiha Yue shifted his gaze and instantly caught Shimura Danzō's figure. He threw a punch, and a terrifying sonic boom erupted, sending waves of air surging outward.

Seeing this, Shimura Danzō leaped up. A kunai appeared in his hand, and with a savage expression, he stabbed it into the incomparably hard Susanoo.

Clang!

With a light sound, the kunai snapped on the spot.

"?"

Shimura Danzō's pupils shrank. He jumped back at once and hurriedly tried to evade, but it was too late!

A huge hand descended. Though he did his utmost to dodge, his legs were still lightly grazed.

Crack!

With a faint sound, Shimura Danzō's legs broke on the spot. His body was flung away and crashed heavily onto the ground.

"Cough, cough... So this is Susanoo? But how can it be this powerful?"

Shimura Danzō, now turned into Hawking, raised his head in disbelief and stared fixedly at Uchiha Yue, who was walking toward him.

He subconsciously raised a hand to wipe the blood from his face. At that moment, Uchiha Yue lowered his head, and their eyes met for an instant.

Now!

"At this very moment, yes, this is the opportunity I need!"

Shimura Danzō's face lit up with joy. He abruptly tore away the bandages around his face, revealing the eye hidden beneath.

Kotoamatsukami! Activate!

The figure that looked like a demon god beneath the moonlight suddenly stopped. Within Susanoo's chest, Uchiha Yue lowered his head like a machine that had lost its power source.

"Hahahaha!!!!"

Shimura Danzō...
