Second Bloom, Susanoo in the Village Center!

Hokage Building.

Last night, Uchiha Itachi did not inform Sarutobi Hiruzen that Jinghuo Uchiha had arranged for the Sarutobi Clan to serve as the Police Force.

He came early this morning to explain it to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"The Sarutobi Clan will serve as the Police Force?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned pale.

Images of the villagers' dissatisfaction, the Uchiha Clan's near coup, and the Shimura Clan's annihilation flashed through his mind.

Was the Sarutobi Clan going to embark on this path of no return?

He quickly shook his head.

"No! Absolutely not!"

He would rather die and jump from here than let the Sarutobi Clan serve as the Police Force!

"Okay." Uchiha Itachi left.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was utterly bewildered.

He had prepared to haggle with Uchiha Itachi for three hours.

And he just gave up so decisively?

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen also breathed a sigh of relief that it was over.

In fact, Uchiha Itachi, who had been rejected, was quite relaxed.

After all, he had clearly seen how the Shimura Clan was annihilated.

Although this tactic couldn't be used on the Sarutobi Clan, there was no doubt that Jinghuo Uchiha had malicious intentions towards them.

To preserve Konoha's fighting strength, this was for the best.

He just needed to tell Jinghuo Uchiha that he was rejected, and Jinghuo Uchiha wouldn't be able to do anything.

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen was the Hokage, the highest-ranking person in the village.

No matter how powerful Jinghuo Uchiha was, could he force the highest-ranking Hokage to agree to something he didn't want to do?

Both Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Itachi were quite happy with this arrangement.

But an hour later, they both regretted it.

Outside the Hokage Building, in the village center.

Many ninjas were working around the Hokage Building.

At this moment, they saw a familiar figure—Jinghuo Uchiha.

They all gave a slight bow-like nod, showing respectful greetings.

When Jinghuo Uchiha first came here, everyone was flustered, thinking he was going to cause trouble again.

Only after he left and they realized he was just there to handle some matters did they relax and give a self-deprecating smile.

He had visited seven times this year.

Now, on his eighth visit, everyone was used to it.

However, the usual Jinghuo Uchiha would nod in response to them, but not today.

"Is he in a bad mood?" The ninjas didn't think much of it and went about their business.

Only Nara Shikaku on the second floor felt as if thunder had struck him, leaving him numb and dazed.

He regretted his own foolishness.

Earlier this morning, the Uchiha Clan should have "accidentally" passed by to act as the Police Force and gain the villagers' favor, but the Uchiha Clan didn't show up!

Why?

The cunning frog always touches your belly!

Because the Uchiha's rage... no, Jinghuo Uchiha's rage, had not subsided!

He rushed downstairs.

His teammate asked strangely, "Captain, why are you running so fast... Holy crap!"

Everyone stared in shock at the rage-like giant outside the window.

Susanoo is divided into six stages: initial form, first form, second form, third form, fourth form, and perfect form.

Initial form: Only partial arms and ribs are formed.

First form: A semi-skeletal form over twenty meters tall.

Second form: Flesh and blood are added to the first form, wrapped in cloak-like chakra, possessing its own exclusive weapon and ninjutsu.

Third form: Crow Tengu Armor is added to the second form.

Fourth form: The lower body and legs are added to the second form, and it can use the Armor of Might.

Perfect Form: Known as the "True Susanoo," it is a Susanoo that can only be activated by those who have pushed the Mangekyo Sharingan's ocular power to its absolute limit and possess vast chakra. It possesses the ability to fly and can perform hand seals to unleash the jutsu the user excels at.

At this moment, the giant, compared to the first time it was seen, had gained flesh and a chakra cloak, resembling a wandering swordsman. It looked much fiercer, exuding a terrifying aura.

Susanoo · Second Form.

"How is this possible..." Nara Shikaku couldn't believe it.

Jinghuo Uchiha is blind!

Why is he still...

Suddenly, his eyes met Jinghuo Uchiha's opened eyes.

They were very mottled eyes. In the blood-red pupils, dark patterns formed cracks resembling fingers. They were irregular but could fit together through triangular folding, giving off a bizarre, chilling sensation, like a viper lurking in the shadows, ready to strike with cold indifference.

Villagers screamed and fled.

Nearby ninjas broke out in cold sweat, instinctively gripping their weapons.

Nara Shikaku, however, stopped them. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Jinghuo Uchiha staring at the Hokage Building.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi! Come out!"

An astonishing wave of sound erupted, as if the surroundings had hit pause, freezing the villagers and ninjas in place.

In their minds, only one question surfaced—"He's... not smashing the building?"

Instantly, the villagers and ninjas breathed a sigh of relief.

Uchiha Clan Land.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi! Come out!"

Many Uchiha clan members immediately jumped to higher ground and saw the rage-flame-like Susanoo appearing in the village center. Without a second thought, they grabbed their weapons and rushed out.

Although Jinghuo Uchiha refused to be the Clan Head, in their hearts, he was the Clan Head.

If their Clan Head was being bullied, what else was there to say?

Just fight!

Pairs of blood-red Sharingan flashed rapidly, filled with bloodthirsty determination—to protect their Clan Head with their lives.

Uchiha Itachi was anxious.

Many Uchiha clan members were Root members.

But he didn't dare to speak, because he knew that if he spoke, it would mean betraying the Uchiha once again.

His younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke...

He could only pray in his heart.

Praying that Hiruzen Sarutobi could handle this peacefully.

But...

"Why is Shizuka causing trouble in the village center again?" More than how Jinghuo Uchiha could activate Susanoo with his eyes seemingly gone, Uchiha Itachi was more confused about this.

But the next second, they heard Jinghuo Uchiha's questioning words from the village center.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi! Why did you refuse the Sarutobi clan's position in the Police Force!"

The Uchiha clan members slammed on the brakes and stopped, looking at each other, and finally their gazes fell on Uchiha Itachi, who was a hundred meters behind.

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

He sighed and said, "Come back."

For the first time, the clan members listened to Uchiha Itachi and obediently walked back, putting away their weapons and ninja tool bags.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

They had just rushed over in a fury, thinking their Clan Head had been wronged.

Turns out, their Clan Head had gone to threaten someone else.

"..." For a moment, they didn't know what to say.

Uchiha Itachi had a headache.

He hadn't expected Jinghuo Uchiha to cause such a scene in the village center over this matter.

This is troublesome.
