The Abrupt Appearance of Wood Release!

The Abrupt Appearance of Wood Release!

Everyone returned to the hospital room.

They had to find out what had happened to Kazuki and Shisui, and where the two pairs of Mangekyo had gone.

"Kazuki, who exactly was it?" Fugaku asked.

"Kazuki is me. My full name is Uchiha Kazuki, male, fifteen years old..."

"Stop, stop it, Kazuki!" Fugaku said weakly. "That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking who exactly the person you saw was. Seriously, stop fooling around. I order you as the clan head!"

Kazuki said unhappily, "Then make yourself clear. You're already so old, yet you're both clan head and captain of the Konoha Military Police Force, and you can't even speak properly. No wonder the Uchiha are declining by the day. Turns out there's a problem with the lead sheep."

"Clan head, why are you leading everyone into a ditch?"

Fugaku: "..."

No one spoke.

Kurenai looked numb.

There really were quite a few people in Konoha with Senju blood.

Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Muneyoshi, you two old fossils, what are you nodding for?!

Why not just say the Sage of Six Paths?!

The God of Shinobi crawled out of the grave just for one pair of your eyes?

Noticing the expressions on everyone's faces, Kazuki panicked and shouted, "You think I'm playing with you?"

Everyone fell silent again.

How could I have been so thoughtless as to pick a fight with him?!

So the Uchiha ending up like this was somehow my fault.

Three Tomoe appeared in Fugaku's eyes, and his expression twisted.

"Koharu! Don't spout nonsense!" the Third Hokage barked, then said to everyone, "Let's discuss this outside!"

"The other side was clearly trying to silence us. When I used Fire Release, they attacked me as well."

Kazuki was about to speak when the Third Hokage hurriedly interrupted him.

Utatane Koharu said coldly, "Uchiha Kazuki, not a single word you've said is worth believing. Everyone, I suggest we search Uchiha Kazuki's mind directly for the answer."

These people wouldn't do!

Only Muneyoshi said one thing.

"Wood Release?"

Hashirama Senju and Wood Release were two entirely different concepts.

Kazuki's Fire Release had been too powerful, wiping away every trace.

Wasn't this burden a little too heavy?!

I can't carry it!

When they dug out Kazuki's eyes, Kazuki counterattacked with Fire Release and drove the enemies back.

Kazuki let out a faint sigh.

That was the God of Shinobi. Would he need to care about Mangekyo?

Besides.

Forget it. This business of digging out eyes was about time to end!

Kazuki's expression turned solemn. "Actually, when I was barely conscious, I didn't see just one person. I saw several people, and the clue lies with one of them."

Such a simple matter, and you dragged it out for so long!

Kazuki curled his lip. "My eyes may be blind, but my ears aren't deaf. I smelled something off in your words long ago."

"But I really saw Wood Release!"

He could hardly wait to let these people experience the rest of the show.

It could be said that the only clue was instead in Kazuki's mind.

Back then, because of Tobirama Senju's policy of integrating civilians, the Senju, once the strongest clan, had been dismantled and absorbed into Konoha.

Among them, quite a few carried killing intent.

Yet Kazuki pressed his thin lips together, his expression conflicted.

"..."

Kazuki, I'm the clan head!

"Kazuki!" Kurenai said faintly, "If it was Lord Hashirama Senju, then with his strength, Mangekyo would have no meaning whatsoever before him."

Everyone silently turned and left.

Fugaku suddenly felt that Danzo was rather pleasant-looking too.

He subconsciously looked around and keenly noticed that the people nearby were watching him, intentionally or otherwise.

After all, to avoid the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall, he had prepared several programs.

"Huh?!"

But!

He really was getting anxious.

Kazuki said in surprise, "From what Lord Hokage is saying, does Konoha have other users of Wood Release?"

And now, two pairs of eyes had simply been lost. I was so anxious I nearly had a stroke, yet you kept fooling around again and again. Do you really think I wouldn't deal with you?

Fugaku said icily, "Aren't you playing with us?"

Damn it!

This was someone even more terrifying than Uchiha Fugaku.

If he were still alive, would a great war still break out in the shinobi world?

"Fine!" Kazuki declared vigorously. "I suspect the one who stole Shisui's and my Sharingan was Hashirama Senju! That's right, the First Hokage!"

Danzo said gloomily, "Then what about the injuries on you and Shisui?"

He was the only one who had seen the attacker.

The entire room was silent enough to hear a pin drop.

Quite a few people looked at Utatane Koharu as though she were an idiot.

The village's hostility?

Heh heh!

"Just speak. Tell us everything you saw. We'll judge for ourselves whether it's true or false."

Many people let out long sighs of relief.

Such poor tolerance. This was only the beginning!

"Cough, cough, how could that be?"

She had grown too used to acting arrogantly and forgot that this time, her target was Uchiha Kazuki.

Finally, he was done talking!

To sum up;

Kazuki had driven Danzo to the brink of madness.

"What clue?"

"Alright, Kazuki, continue. And remember, if you saw Wood Release, then say Wood Release. Don't drag the First Hokage into it."

Fuck me.

He would have rushed to that person's home long ago and kindly asked: peace, or nuclear peace?!

Kazuki protested, "I wasn't lying."

Recently, I've gotten far too carried away!

Big brother, stop messing around and just finish what you have to say, alright?

If you keep this up, you really will get beaten to death.

"Kazuki!"

"You saw Wood Release!"

Utatane Koharu's body stiffened in an instant.

Everyone was startled.

Utatane Koharu snapped coldly, "Uchiha Kazuki, what exactly are you plotting?"

"That concludes the entire course of events!"

...Was it really that obvious?

"Alright, everyone, look over here!" Kazuki clapped his hands. "Stop staring at the Third Hokage all the time. You're making him shy."

Although everyone knew that Wood Release was Hashirama Senju's unique Secret Technique.

Two pairs of Mangekyo!

Those were Mangekyo!

With two pairs of Mangekyo, the Uchiha would have greater confidence when facing the Hokage Faction.

Even Kurenai's gaze turned sharp as she clenched Kazuki's hand.

Others looked thoughtful.

"Although I was playing with you, I was playing with you very seriously. There's a fundamental difference between the two."

But...

Some still refused to believe him and glared furiously at Uchiha Kazuki.

As soon as the words fell.

"First, I must tell everyone that I was set up at the time, and my mind wasn't clear. So everything I saw may not have been real."

"Yes, Wood Release!" Kazuki said. "The instant those people dug out my eyes, the intense pain stimulated me. I used a Fire Release to counterattack. It made quite a commotion, so those people all ran away."

Other than Tsunade, there was not a single pure-blooded Senju left.

This scene made quite a few people clench up.

Could there be some mutated breed?

"I don't believe it. This guy is just talking nonsense!"

Someone had plotted against Shisui and Kazuki, dug out their eyes, and one of them could use Wood Release.

"Then why did you say you saw Hashirama Senju?"

Hashirama Senju?

Everyone present stared without blinking.

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."

Endure it!

"By the way, where was I just now?"

Kazuki suddenly said, "Elder Koharu, your suggestion is excellent. I hereby state that I support it."

Utatane Koharu shakily walked out of the room, constantly pondering what she should do.

She had no desire to experience what Danzo had gone through.

Maybe I should stand with the Uchiha over this Mangekyo incident!
