The crowd was shaken to their core, gazing up at the war god of overwhelming pressure before them.

It was a colossal giant clad in armor, wielding twin blades, its eyes cold and devoid of emotion. Terrifying flames of chakra swirled around it, as if scorching the very air into distortion.

Tall buildings looked like children's blocks before it, and as it took a slow step, the earth beneath its feet cracked inch by inch, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

Back at the Uchiha compound, the giant purple figure had already been oppressive, but standing before them now, the sense of dread reached its absolute peak.

Shimura Danzō stared fixedly at those scarlet pupils, his fists trembling slightly.

On the surface, he remained as calm as ever, seemingly full of hostility toward the Uchiha, yet his heart had long been consumed by burning greed.

This power... it far exceeded his expectations!

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, his expression grave. Looking at the massive Susanoo, he could not hide his shock.

Stronger... even than Madara?

The pressure of that chakra made his heart feel as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand.

"It seems... Itachi truly failed..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was low, laced with a trace of anger and regret: "Who exactly are you? And what is it you want to do?"

"Has the Will of Fire of the Uchiha clan completely vanished?"

"Do you truly intend to attack the village?"

Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen's interrogation, Uchiha Yoru curled his lips into a cold sneer, his eyes filled with mockery.

"You don't need to know my name."

"And also..."

"Spare me that moral high ground."

His voice grew increasingly icy, filled with pervasive killing intent.

"The Second Hokage established the Military Police Force and trusted the Uchiha? In reality, you just penned the Uchiha up at the village gates like dogs."

"On the night of the Nine-Tails Incident, all Uchiha were forbidden from participating—you had long since viewed the Sharingan as the source of disaster, hadn't you?"

"When you needed power to suppress the Cloud Village, the Uchiha were heroes; once you discovered Shisui could alter the will of others, they became a threat that 'must be eliminated'."

Uchiha Yoru's Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly, the scarlet light in his eyes burning like two raging fires in the dark night.

"Shimura Danzō, you stole Shisui's eyes and plotted to plunder even more from the Uchiha!"

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you tacitly allowed Root to monitor the Uchiha for twenty years, and now you even record the chakra fluctuations of three-year-old children..."

"And later, out of fear of the Uchiha's power, you colluded with Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito to slaughter the entire clan!"

His voice rose sharply, his anger and killing intent nearly manifesting into physical form, sweeping across the surroundings—

"You old bastards are the ones who are truly evil by nature!"

The next second, the eyes of the Susanoo suddenly erupted with a scarlet radiance!

BOOM—!!!

The giant blades swept across, slashing fiercely toward the four major clan compounds of Konoha!

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others turned pale with shock!

"No!"

Those directions—they were their own clan compounds!

Because the speed was too great, they could only watch helplessly as their homes were torn to shreds by the massive blade of chakra.

In the dark night, flames soared into the sky, and Konoha village trembled incessantly.

Having learned from Uchiha Yoru that the Uchiha clan had been exterminated, logically, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzō, and the others should have been pleased.

But right now, they couldn't feel happy at all.

The members of the Jonin Squad were shocked upon hearing Uchiha Yoru's words, and most of them thought to themselves that the Konoha leadership truly lacked humanity.

At this moment, the twin blades of the Susanoo swept past, the terrifying chakra shockwave sweeping in all directions, turning the buildings along its path into ruins instantly!

Konoha ninjas cried out in alarm, hurriedly retreating. Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzō, Hyuga Hiashi, and others quickly formed hand seals, attempting to resist this sudden catastrophe.

"Earth Style: Earth Wall!"

"Water Style: Water Wall!"

"Eight Trigrams: Rotation!"

Stone walls rose from the ground, water curtains churned and surged, and white chakra cyclones scattered outward. But these defenses were fragile before the might of the Susanoo

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The twin blades of the Susanoo tore through the earth walls and shattered the water curtains; even Hyuga Hiashi's "Rotation" was sent flying, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Cough..."

Hyuga Hiashi slammed heavily into the ground. Looking up, he saw Uchiha Yoru standing at the heart of the Susanoo, looking down from above, his scarlet Sharingan cold and piercing.

A trace of fear rose in his heart: if what Uchiha Yoru said was true, could the tragic end of the Uchiha clan be the future fate of the Hyuga?

"Still struggling in your final moments?"

Uchiha Yoru sneered, lifting one hand slightly as the chakra blade of his Susanoo coalesced once more. "Tonight, Konoha shall have its history rewritten entirely."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned livid; he formed hand seals, summoning a monkey—

"Enma, transform into the Adamantine Staff!"

"Roar!"

A deafening simian cry shook the air. Enma appeared, his body shifting rapidly until he instantly transformed into a heavy, black staff.

Sarutobi Hiruzen gripped the staff tightly and leaped, swinging it horizontally with immense force, slamming it hard against the Susanoo!

BOOM—!!!

With a thunderous crash, the Susanoo was struck by the staff, its massive frame faltering for a split second. Yet, a moment later, Sarutobi Hiruzen's brow furrowed; he leaped again, striking the Susanoo once more, but it remained completely ineffective.

A cold smirk tugged at the corners of Uchiha Yoru's mouth.

"With this meager strength... you think you can shake my Susanoo?"

Faint ripples appeared on the armor of the Susanoo before it returned to its original state.

With a casual wave of the giant chakra blade, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression shifted drastically, and he immediately leaped back to retreat.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's leg still bore the injury from where Uchiha Yoru had stepped on him earlier, and the pain now left him gasping for breath.

Seeing this, Shimura Danzō, standing to the side, felt as if his severed arm had instantly healed.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he rejoiced inwardly—

Hiruzen is already old... I fear he won't be able to hold out through this battle.

However, the next second, Uchiha Yoru snapped his head up, his gaze locking onto Shimura Danzō as a cold sneer curled his lips.

"Did you think I would let you go?"

Before the words had even faded, the Susanoo took a sudden step, its figure vanishing in a flash!

Shimura Danzō was struck with terror. Ignoring everything else, the bandages on his arm burst open, revealing several Sharingan, and he instantly activated his ocular technique—

"Izanagi!"

BANG!!!

The giant chakra blade of the Susanoo came crashing down!

Danzō's figure shattered instantly, dissolving into nothingness. Yet, from another patch of shadow, his form reappeared, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"Hmph... as expected..."

Before he could even steady himself, he saw the crimson gaze of the Susanoo lock onto him once more, and Uchiha Yoru's voice rang out slowly—

"I'd like to see just how many times... your Izanagi can be used."

With that, the blade of the giant Susanoo locked onto the area where Danzō had resurrected, the chakra blade raining down upon the spot where Shimura Danzō appeared with the density of a stir-fry.

Soon, Shimura Danzō realized with despair that he had only one resurrection left—the most important one of all!
