Divine Punishment, the Power of Susanoo

This technique possessed immense lethality, and Uchiha Tamaharu had not intended to use it at first, merely preparing it as a precaution.

However, on the front lines, the Anbu were already treating this as a full-scale war, and Uchiha Metsu could not afford to be soft-hearted at a time like this, allowing them to attack the Uchiha clan without restraint.

"Listen to the roar of ten thousand thunders!"

"Divine Punishment!"

Uchiha Metsu raised his hand, and the electric arcs in his palm surged straight into the sky, drilling directly into the rain clouds.

This arc of electricity was naturally spotted by many, yet most could not comprehend what it meant.

"Boom!"

On the front lines, a massive green figure emerged.

Uchiha Shisui was indeed struggling to hold his ground, as the number of Anbu surrounding him was simply too great.

Upon realizing that he absolutely could not dodge the incoming attacks, he did not hesitate to activate his Susanoo!

This green figure quickly drew the attention of a large number of Anbu, who began to swarm toward him.

"So you really have betrayed Konoha, Shisui!"

"Evil Uchiha!!"

Danzo, through his subordinates from the Hyuga clan, was confirming the situation on the battlefield.

He shared the same concerns as Sarutobi Hiruzen, fearing that Shisui might use Kotoamatsukami on him, so he had remained hidden in a prepared safe house.

Now that he had confirmed Shisui's location, he finally breathed a sigh of relief while cursing the traitor!

Likewise, Sarutobi Hiruzen, hidden in the shadows, also locked onto Shisui's position and felt a weight lift from his shoulders.

He immediately chose to lead his men to attack from the opposite side of Shisui's position, preparing to charge straight in!

"Rumble!"

But at that moment, the sound of thunder suddenly erupted from the sky.

The moonlight was almost entirely obscured by dark clouds, yet within those clouds, thunder cracked, and the light emitted made Konoha as bright as day for an instant.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was just about to lead his men into the fray, stopped dead in his tracks.

He then looked up in disbelief, staring at the rain clouds hanging in the sky.

"This feels ominous!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sensed a massive threat.

This hair-raising sensation was something he had only felt during the several Great Ninja Wars and on the night of the Nine-Tails Incident.

"Uchiha!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen gritted his teeth.

There was no doubt that this was the work of the Uchiha.

He did not know exactly who was responsible, but such a method was undoubtedly Uchiha!

However, there was no time for him to dwell on it.

"Boom!"

The first bolt of lightning struck down, an indiscriminate attack on the interior of Konoha.

It hit the lightning rod atop the Hokage Building directly.

It did not cause significant damage.

But immediately, new bolts of lightning descended; this time, they struck ordinary trees, setting them ablaze instantly.

Then, four more bolts of lightning fell at once.

The Konoha villagers fleeing outside were terrified out of their wits, not knowing what to do.

In less than thirty seconds, more than thirty bolts of lightning had descended simultaneously, and the entire Konoha could be said to be bathed in a sea of thunder.

"Uchiha!!!"

Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen were both livid, their eyes splitting with rage.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Danzo hurriedly used his Wind Release, attempting to blow away the rain clouds in the sky.

However, rain clouds are generally about a thousand meters above the ground, and ordinary Wind Release techniques blown upward have little to no effect.

It only blew a small hole in the clouds, which had no impact on the overall situation.

"Shikaku, have all ninjas capable of Wind Release use it against the sky!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, on his end, also gave up on the offensive, choosing instead to clear the troublesome rain clouds first.

If left unchecked, Konoha might be completely destroyed!

That was a result he could not accept!

"Yes!"

Inoichi Yamanaka, who had been maintaining a mental connection with Sarutobi Hiruzen, relayed this news to Shikaku Nara, and then passed Shikaku Nara's words directly to the Anbu on the front lines and all the ninjas throughout Konoha.

Soon, the Uchiha ninjas who were struggling to defend themselves felt an immediate sense of relief.

This was because many Anbu had abandoned their offensive and chosen to target the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky instead.

Sigh, there really is no need to hold back anymore!

On his side, Fugaku Uchiha saw the dense barrage of lightning bolts falling from the sky and sighed helplessly in his heart.

At the same time, his gaze turned resolute, and he directly activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.

This was what Uchiha Tamaharu had told him beforehand: if this move was used, it proved that Konoha had no intention of letting the Uchiha leave.

In that case, Konoha was the enemy, and there was no need to be timid or hesitant!

Let them experience true pain!!

"BOOM!"

A Susanoo radiating a brownish light rose directly from the ground.

The Susanoo then raised its right hand, and three rotating magatama immediately appeared in its palm.

"Amaterasu!!!"

Fugaku Uchiha then directly imbued the inextinguishable flames of Amaterasu onto the magatama.

The pitch-black flames, under the rapid rotation of the three magatama, hovered in the palm of the Susanoo like a fireball.

The Anbu closing in around them also sensed that Fugaku Uchiha was about to do something major.

However, their ninjutsu could not break through the defense of the Susanoo at all.

Currently in Konoha, only Sarutobi Hiruzen possessed Kage-level strength; Danzo was still far from that level.

Needless to say, the same applied to the Anbu.

The only one capable of reaching this level was Might Guy, provided he opened the seventh gate or higher, but he was still busy evacuating civilians and had not yet joined the battle.

Therefore, there was simply no one who could stop Fugaku Uchiha at this moment.

"Yasaka Magatama!"

Without hesitation, Fugaku Uchiha controlled the Susanoo to throw the rapidly spinning magatama in its hand toward the direction of the Hokage Building.

The power of this move was by no means inferior to an ordinary Tailed Beast Bomb; perhaps it could not compare to one charged by the Nine-Tails, but it was enough to cause massive destruction.

"CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!"

Everything that stood in the path of the Yasaka Magatama was directly destroyed.

Many Anbu used Earth Style: Earth Wall in an attempt to stop it, but it was completely useless.

Five seconds later, the Yasaka Magatama struck the Hokage Building!

"BOOM!"

A blinding light from the impact shot straight into the sky, resembling a mushroom cloud.

Following that, the flames of Amaterasu were scattered by the shockwave, covering the surrounding buildings and environment.

"Those flames are the inextinguishable flames of Amaterasu."

"If you don't deal with them, all of Konoha will soon be engulfed in a sea of fire; just wait for Konoha's destruction!"

Fugaku Uchiha threatened them directly.

Doing this was more about diverting Konoha's energy than actually trying to kill them.

This news was quickly transmitted to Sarutobi Hiruzen through Inoichi Yamanaka's ability.

"Damn it!!"

"Evil Uchiha!!"

"Order men to seal the flames; do not let them spread!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, also through Inoichi Yamanaka's mental connection, saw the black flames at the ruins of the Hokage Building continuing to burn despite the rain falling from the sky, completely unaffected.

To avoid even greater losses, he had no choice but to do this.
