Fugaku Uchiha: Is the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju Naturally Evil?!

Fugaku Uchiha: Is the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju Naturally Evil?!

Hiashi Hyuga paced back and forth, growing more anxious as time passed.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps reached Hiashi Hyuga's ears. Turning around, he immediately spotted the Shinobi Hero, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had shed his iconic Hokage robes and changed into battle gear.

At his side stood the leader of Root, Shimura Danzō.

There were also Jonin from the Ino–Shika–Chō clans, including Shikaku... as well as Fugaku Uchiha, Hizashi Hyuga... It could be said that over half of Konoha's high-end combat strength had gathered here.

Seeing this, Hiashi Hyuga felt his spirits rise.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi-sama, had finally arrived!

And he had brought so many powerful shinobi, even members of the Uchiha Clan... Though the Uchiha tended to go crazy, their strength was undeniably formidable!

With so many Konoha shinobi here, they would surely be able to rescue his daughter from that mysterious shinobi in the Forest of Death.

No sooner had Hiashi Hyuga thought this than he heard Hiruzen Sarutobi's imposing voice.

"The Anbu Captain, Mitarashi Zixiao, has already explained the situation to me.

"Medical Corps shinobi, immediately send those Kumogakure peace envoys lying on the ground to Konoha Hospital!"

"Yes!"

A group of medical shinobi immediately sprang into action with stretchers.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly, then said to Hiashi Hyuga, "Clan Head Hiashi, according to your Byakugan's observations... are the ones who kidnapped Hinata, as well as Konoha civilian Roman, still in this forest?"

"They are, they're still there!"

Hiashi Hyuga hurriedly nodded. "Please, Hokage-sama, you must save my daughter."

"Your daughter, Hinata Hyuga, is a member of the Hyuga Clan, and she is also a member of Konoha... She is a new leaf growing upon Konoha's great tree. Wherever the leaves of Konoha dance, the fire burns on without end!

"In any case, I will not stand by and watch your daughter be kidnapped by shinobi from outside Konoha!

"Danzō, Fugaku, Hiashi... everyone, enter the Forest of Death with me!"

"Yes!"

Konoha's high-ranking shinobi heeded the words of the spirited middle-aged Shinobi Hero, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, activating the Body Flicker Technique together as they charged into the Forest of Death.

All of this was observed by Hinata Hyuga and Roman, who were deep within the heart of the forest.

"More people have arrived." After observing with his Byakugan, Roman made a serious judgment. "Your father's Chakra is among them, and the incoming people all possess enormous amounts of Chakra... At the very least, each has as much Chakra as an ordinary Jonin!

"Especially the person leading them. The amount of Chakra in his body is on an entirely different level from that of ordinary Jonin."

Hearing this, Hinata Hyuga lowered her head and pondered for a while before analyzing, "If nothing unexpected happened, that would be Konoha's current Third Hokage—the strongest Hokage written about in the academy textbooks—Hiruzen Sarutobi."

Roman froze for a moment, then a smile spread across his lips. "Looks like the commotion we caused while experimenting with ninjutsu in the Forest of Death was pretty big... We actually drew over the Third Hokage and so many of Konoha's Jonin."

Hinata frowned slightly. "What should we do now?"

"Obviously, keep experimenting and test the power of the ninjutsu!" Roman said matter-of-factly. "After all, we've only tested the Vacuum Attack so far.

"And the A-rank Water Release Ninjutsu you rapidly learned in the Hyuga Main Family's secret chamber through the Hydro Archon Furina's Oceanids talent—Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique—as well as the equally A-rank Water Release Ninjutsu, Water Dragon Bullet Technique, haven't had their power tested yet!

"Now we can test the might of those two Water Release Ninjutsu!

"With Hiruzen Sarutobi leading the people who came, they should be able to protect everyone."

"Alright." Hinata Hyuga said, "I'll use the simpler Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique."

Roman said, "Then I'll use Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique."

The instant those words fell, their hands began flying through hand seals.

A few seconds later, Hinata Hyuga finished first. She took a deep breath, gathering Chakra in her throat as her cheeks swelled.

Upon reaching the limit, Hinata parted her lips slightly.

Riiip!

In an instant, a broad torrent like a high-pressure water cannon erupted from Hinata's mouth. With boundless impact and incomparable speed, it sliced through countless trees in the Forest of Death.

It swept out for hundreds of meters, forming a colossal waterfall wave dozens of meters high, as though it connected to the sky itself...

Soon, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sensed the incoming waterfall-wave attack and swiftly made his assessment.

An enemy ninjutsu attack!

An A-rank Water Release Ninjutsu, Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique?

No... It was not as simple as an A-rank Water Release Ninjutsu. The volume and speed of that water were far too abnormal—they had reached the level of S-rank Water Release Ninjutsu.

Could that unknown enemy bring an A-rank Water Release Ninjutsu's power close to that of an S-rank ninjutsu?

Could another Water Release Ninjutsu genius like the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, have appeared in the shinobi world?!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind raced through countless thoughts before he finally prepared to create an Earth-Style Wall to intercept the Water Release Ninjutsu looming before them.

"Hokage-sama, let me handle this."

Fugaku Uchiha, head of the Uchiha Clan, stepped forward of his own accord and rapidly formed hand seals.

Then he took a deep breath, gathered Chakra in his throat, and unleashed the Uchiha Clan's strongest Fire Release Ninjutsu—Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation.

Whoosh.

Fugaku Uchiha exhaled a vast sea of flames... It ignited countless dead leaves and branches throughout the Forest of Death, illuminating everyone's faces in a blazing red!

The scorching flames collided head-on with the equally immense Great Waterfall in the next instant. The cold water and blazing fire reacted at once, sending white-hot steam surging upward with a sharp hissing sound.

The temperature at the scene rose sharply.

But that was not the most crucial part. The crucial part was that the tremendous waterfall waters continued pouring in without end, gradually overwhelming the Great Fire Annihilation of Fugaku Uchiha, the Uchiha Clan head.

!!

Fugaku Uchiha's eyes widened, disbelief flooding his gaze.

He had never expected that, as the Uchiha Clan member most proficient in Fire Release Ninjutsu, he would step forward to display the Uchiha Clan's strength before Konoha's shinobi, only to make a complete fool of himself... Even his most skilled Fire Release Ninjutsu had been suppressed!

Damn it, how could a mere A-rank Water Release Ninjutsu possess such terrifying power?!

Could the enemy in the Forest of Death be the reincarnation of the naturally evil Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju?!
