"No!"
Third Mizukage reached out and roared towards the place where the huge yellow Susanoo disappeared, but he could no longer move.
The cold gradually spread from the ground, starting with ice on his feet, and finally spread to his legs, body, and finally climbed up to his face.
He was sealed into an ice wither by his own Ice Release Kekkei Genkai.
"Whoosh!"
On the periphery of the battlefield, a blue-white light flashed, and Orochimaru, holding Fugaku Uchiha and Might Duy in his hands, flashed out of thin air next to a special Kunai with the pattern of Ouroboros painted on it.
"It seems I'm not too late, at least I caught up to the last minute."
Orochimaru looked at the bottom of the cliff. There was a huge solid cube of ice. If you look closely, you can see that it is made up of ice mirrors. There are also Sealing Jutsu spells printed on the ice.
"This old guy is really scary! I almost fell into it!"
Fugaku Uchiha covered his eyes that were bleeding with tears and said with a clear heart.
"Youth is indeed endless! Even though he has aged like this, he still burns his youth to the climax at the last moment of his life! He is a real opponent!"
Although they are opponents, Might Duy quite agrees with Third Mizukage.
"In this war, another shadow died. What a pity!"
Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth and looked at the huge ice cube below.
For a strong man of this level, and also Kekkei Genkai, his corpse is really a perfect experimental material! It's just a pity that he sealed it himself.
Fugaku Uchiha and Might Duy didn't reply, what else would they say? The last shadow that died was killed by you. What do you regret?
"However, although the appearance and death of Third Mizukage was unexpected, it was actually just an old man from the old era. It is Sharingan of Fugaku that surprised me the most."
Orochimaru smiled and turned his head to look at Fugaku Uchiha who was covering his eyes.
Fugaku Uchiha's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know whether Orochimaru's attitude toward Uchiha was as hostile as the older generation's Konoha High Command.
"Don't worry. Although Uchiha and I have no contact, I actually have no ill feelings toward you."
Fugaku Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief.
"But..."
Fugaku Uchiha's heart was in her throat again.
"Now that your eyes are exposed, it is likely to arouse the fear of the higher-ups. At least Elder Danzo will definitely have opinions on you."
Fugaku Uchiha is a little silent. Indeed, as Orochimaru said, Danzo has never had a good attitude towards Uchiha, almost to the point of hatred.
Orochimaru smiled faintly. He now needs to form a clique as much as possible, partly to deal with Danzo, and partly to build momentum for himself to ascend to the position of Fourth Hokage.
Fugaku Uchiha stood there and thought quietly.
He understood what Orochimaru meant, and Orochimaru hoped that Uchiha Clan could move closer to him and even surrender.
Orochimaru frowned, as expected of you, you are still hesitating at this time.
In the past, Uchiha could rely on his own strength, and he could even ignore Third Hokage and Hokage. At that time, he was still a little in awe when facing First Hokage.
After all, this is the person who really led Senju to defeat Uchiha. No one is dissatisfied with his power.
Although Second Hokage was targeting Uchiha, at least he would not go too far. Instead, he would have a calm conversation at the table, and even accepted a Uchiha as a disciple.
In terms of balancing, Second Hokage does a pretty good job on the surface. After all, he is the person who has studied Uchiha the most. He just has no idea how many pits he has buried secretly.
It's just that in the early days of Third Hokage's administration, the foundation was unstable, and some Warring States Period old-timers in Uchiha didn't recognize him.
In their view, First Hokage and Second Hokage are leaders of wealthy clans like Senju Clan who are on par with Uchiha. Even though Warring States Period and Uchiha Clan had a hostile relationship in the past, they at least recognized them.
But now Sarutobi Clan, who used to kneel down and lick their Uchiha, stands on top of them and becomes Hokage, and together with Senju, they establish The Uchiha of Konohagakure failed to become Hokage. This is even more uncomfortable for these extremely proud old Uchiha than killing them.
At that time, Uchiha didn't even follow Hiruzen Sarutobi very much. Instead, he held on to the tradition of Warring States Period and only listened to Uchiha Clan Head.
If there wasn't a small group of doves Uchiha headed by Kagami Uchiha in the middle trying to ease relations, I'm afraid there would really be civil strife.
And now Uchiha's old generation of strong men are withering away. Although the new Uchiha sticks to their glory, they who have been working at Military Police Force all year round lack the opportunity to go to the battlefield. Coupled with the covert suppression during the Second Hokage period, and then the blatant suppression starting in the middle and late stages of Third Hokage's administration, Uchiha is now almost in a period of weakness.
The only way for Uchiha to survive is actually to have a good relationship with the future Fourth Hokage, but Fugaku Uchiha has to hesitate for such a long time to even understand this.
Could it be that he thinks that his pair of Mangekyo can change the situation now?
Fugaku Uchiha is a patriarch after all. He is not stupid. He is just struggling with Uchiha's so-called glory.
Does Uchiha, which has a glorious history of thousands of years, really want to be inferior to others?
Senju Clan defeated Uchiha, so Uchiha, who believes in the strong, can accept it.
And now Orochimaru can kill Third Raikage on the frontal battlefield. In terms of record alone, he is indeed the ninja with the strongest record against Shinobi World.
But Uchiha is often inflated by his own Sharingan and cannot see the reality clearly.
Just like now.
"Senior Orochimaru, Uchiha Clan can be loyal to you, but you need to prove that you are worthy of the Uchiha Clan."
Fugaku Uchiha bowed his head politely to Orochimaru.
"You mean..."
Orochimaru's eyes gradually became dangerous. It seemed that Uchiha Clan would not be able to be convinced without fighting.
This is true for Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, as well as for Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki. Obito Uchiha was also successfully escaped after being defeated.
"I'm sorry, but as the leader of the Uchiha clan, I have to do some things, otherwise I won't be able to convince the clan members. At least I hope that the people who can be recognized by Uchiha will be worthy of Uchiha's honor.
Therefore, I hope to challenge Orochimaru-senpai! "
Fugaku Uchiha actually thinks that if Orochimaru is really too powerful, he can at least use his Mangekyo to show him how powerful Uchiha is, so that if he really joins Orochimaru, he will be taken more seriously.
Orochimaru understands why some people hate Uchiha. This group of people have some brain problems, and their brain circuits are different from others.
He is the type who fights very hard, looks cool and likes to show off, but is actually very stupid.
