"Advisor Danzō Danzo, the Uchiha Clan has absolutely no intention of rebelling; we are also part of Konoha!"
This is what Fugaku feared most.
Of the previous Konoha F4, it was Danzo the deepest prejudice against the Uchiha clan.
During his time as Hokage Assistant, he didn't even bother to pretend; he openly told everyone that Danzo simply didn't like the Uchiha Danzo.
The surveillance outside the clan's territory never stopped. Sometimes Fugaku even wanted to ask Danzo, "Are your Root idle? Or is your real mission to monitor the Uchiha?"
"Is that so? But Susanoo your Uchiha Clan..." Danzo turned around, looking at Hiruzen who was fighting Susanoo in the distance, and revealed a meaningful expression.
"Danzo, whoever the other party is, by becoming an enemy of Konoha, he is no longer a member of the Uchiha Clan!"
Fugaku did his utmost to extend his goodwill.
Seeing that Danzo was too lazy to even turn around, Fugaku, left with no other choice, could only close his eyes and weigh in his mind whether he should reveal his true trump card.
After a long time without receiving a reply, Fugaku finally made up his mind. A surge of ocular power rushed into his eyes, and when he opened them again, the pattern representing the Mangekyō Sharingan appeared in Fugaku's eyes.
The bright yellow skeleton also appeared at this moment, completely enveloping Fugaku.
"Advisor Danzō, I need to go help the Lord Third, please make way."
Fugaku ignored the worshipful gazes of his clansmen behind him and instead cautiously observed Danzo's reaction.
If it were during the Third Hokage's reign, he would never have dared to reveal his Mangekyō Sharingan.
However, Sakumo's actions after taking office restored Fugaku's confidence in Konoha High Command.
"The Mangekyō Sharingan..." Danzo glanced coldly at Fugaku, avoiding direct eye contact.
"Look!"
Just as Fugaku was quietly awaiting Danzo's reply, an Uchiha clansman pointed his finger at the sky.
A figure was Susanoo in an instant, crashing straight into a building in the distance.
"It's the Third Hokage!"
The Uchiha with better eyesight recognized the figure as Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Hmph, your skills aren't what they used to be, are they?"
Danzo coldly, finally giving up and turning away.
"This is..."
Seeing the Root ninjas make way for Danzo, Fugaku, after a brief moment of surprise, immediately understood what they meant.
"Military Police Force officers, follow me to fight the enemy!"
In the center of the battlefield, Setsuna had finally managed to Hiruzen Sarutobi and was about to look for Nagato when he saw a bright yellow figure rushing straight towards his face.
"Susanoo?"
He staggered back a few steps after being struck, and for a moment looked at the Susanoo in front of him with disbelief.
Fugaku Uchiha? When did this brat awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan?!
Before Setsuna could grasp the key point, Fugaku threw another punch, knocking Setsuna back several steps once more.
The two Susanoo began fighting right under everyone's noses.
Meanwhile, outside the village, the sound of violent explosions continued.
As soon as Kazashiro and the others landed at the epicenter of the explosion, they saw Minato fighting a monster whose entire body was red.
Not far away, Biwako and Jaci were holding a baby and taking shelter from the aftershocks of the explosion.
"Lord Biwako, what's going on?"
Kakashi quickly moved to Biwako Biwa and inquired about the current situation.
Biwako's face was filled with lingering fear. "The Nine-Tails 'Chakra went berserk. Minato, in order to get us out of the explosion, couldn't reinforce the seal in time. As soon as we landed Kushina was devoured by the Nine-Tails 'Chakra."
At this moment, Kushina was completely enveloped in the Nine-Tails Chakra, with six tails swaying behind her, occasionally firing a few Tailed Beast Bomb.
Minato not only needs to find a way to reinforce the seal and protect Biwako and the others, but also needs to constantly monitor the trajectory of the Tailed Beast Bomb to prevent it from flying towards Konoha.
This is a time when things are extremely complicated.
The arrival of Kazashiro and the others gave him hope.
However, at this moment, Kazashiro's mind was filled with Biwako's words.
To avoid the explosion?
Avoiding the explosion—wasn't the explosion itself caused by your own actions?
In other words, he orchestrated the Nine-Tails' rampage himself?!
"Kazashiro!"
Minato, seeing that Kazashiro had been silent, hurriedly spoke up to remind him.
"Hmm? Oh, I'll help you, Brother Minato!"
Taking advantage of Nine-Tails's attention being entirely focused on Minato, Kazashiro moved behind Nine-Tails and began forming hand seals. "Ice Release: Ice Age!"
The sky was filled with ice crystals covering the Nine-Tails, but it didn't last long before it was melted by the Tailed Beast Cloak.
"As expected, it can't be resolved so easily. Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"
Kazashiro immediately changed the order of his hand seals and used the melted water to cast the Water Prison Technique.
The Nine-Tails, completely encased in a water sphere, struggled a few times before tearing open the water prison with its claws right in front of everyone.
"Rasengan!"
The moment Nine-Tails broke free, Minato appeared above Nine-Tails wielding Rasengan and slammed it down.
"Ice Release: Ice Crystal Burial!"
Kazashiro then manipulated the ice crystals to bind the Nine-Tails' limbs, preventing it from escaping Minato's attack.
As the Rasengan touched the surface of the Nine-Tails, a large piece of the Tailed Beast Cloak was torn apart by the Rasengan's powerful attack, but it was repaired in an instant.
"So it really can't be solved so easily after all?"
Seeing that the unharmed Nine-Tails was waving its tail in preparation to attack him, Minato once again Flying Thunder God Technique to create distance between them.
"This is only in its Partial Tailed Beast Transformation form, and it's already this difficult to deal with."
Kazashiro also sensed the trouble. The complete Nine-Tails was indeed powerful; even in its Six-Tails state, it had already given them a lot of headaches.
The only option left is to try Partial Tailed Beast Transformation.
[Isobu: Kazashiro.]
Just as Kazashiro was about to ask Isobu for some more food, Isobu took the initiative to speak and pulled him into the consciousness space.
"Isobu?"
Kazashiro looked at Isobu, who was calling him for the first time, with some surprise.
"That's the Nine-Tails. It's impossible to defeat it with only Partial Tailed Beast Transformation, even if it hasn't revealed its full power."
Isobu propped himself up and walked forward, staring intently at Kazashiro through the seal.
"Ugh, really, it's all that old bastard Sage of Six Paths' fault. What do you mean by 'evenly dividing the Tailed Beast Chakra'? It's clearly divided equally between the One to Eight-Tails Beasts, with the Nine-Tails taking half for itself, okay?!"
Upon hearing Isobu's confirmation, Kazashiro became somewhat frantic, grabbing his hair and cursing the Sage of Six Paths.
"However, it's not entirely without a solution."
Seeing Kazashiro's performance, Isobu spoke slowly.
"Hmm? Why didn't you say so earlier? Why are you keeping me in suspense? Tell me quickly, what method do you use?"
Upon hearing that Isobu truly had a plan, Kazashiro's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly moved closer to the other party.
"Complete Tailed Beast Transformation."
