Revenge Will Be Taken!

The night is dark and the wind is high; it is the perfect time for killing!

Root headquarters.

"Who goes there!" the two masked ninjas at the entrance of the base barked with extreme vigilance.

When they saw it was only a child, they were slightly puzzled but did not lower their guard; in the world of ninjas, danger lurks everywhere. However, the moment their gazes met those scarlet eyes, their own eyes lost focus.

The Mangekyo Sharingan in Obito's eyes bloomed with a bewitching red. He grabbed one of them by the neck, lifted him up, and asked coldly, "Where is Danzo?"

"Lord Danzo is inside," the Root operative replied dully.

Obito struck the necks of both men, and their bodies went limp, hitting the ground with two dull thuds.

There were not many guards inside the Root base. As the most mysterious and darkest organization in Konoha, even Konoha's own ninjas trembled at the mere mention of it. Who would have the guts to storm the Root headquarters?

After controlling several guards along the way with his Sharingan, Obito found the room where Danzo was resting—a room with a distinct, ancient Japanese aesthetic.

Inside, Danzo was reviewing documents. As the leader of Root, he had to process intelligence sent back by spies stationed in various countries; the administrative burden was heavy.

Suddenly, the candlelight on the desk began to flicker. Danzo set down his documents, narrowed his eyes, and looked toward the door.

With a thud, the guards at the door collapsed powerlessly under the influence of Obito's Sharingan genjutsu.

"Are you not coming out?" Obito stood outside the door and said.

"A child?" Danzo squinted, the image of Uchiha Obito instantly flashing through his mind. Years of ninja experience told him never to underestimate anyone, especially a child who had managed to storm his way into the Root headquarters!

"Wind Style! Vacuum Blast!"

Judging Obito's position based on the sound of his voice, Danzo immediately unleashed his most proficient Wind Style technique! The old man truly had no sense of martial honor!

Danzo's mouth acted like a machine gun, firing a continuous stream of air bullets.

Pop-pop-pop-pop! The wooden doors and windows were instantly shredded. The two of them saw each other face-to-face for the first time through the ruined frame.

Outside the door, a monster burning with deep blue chakra flames stood tall in the courtyard.

It was a third-form, half-body Susanoo, over thirty meters tall, wearing a crow-tengu helmet. The massive chakra flames had coalesced into a majestic suit of armor, and it held a giant katana in its hand.

The Vacuum Blast struck the Susanoo, emitting the sound of clashing metal before dissipating. The Susanoo remained completely unscathed!

Obito was wrapped securely inside the Susanoo. He had chosen not to use Kamui's intangibility after careful deliberation; as his greatest trump card, it was necessary to keep Kamui a secret. If too many people knew about it, they would naturally find ways to counter it. In the world of Naruto, intelligence had a massive impact on the outcome of battles.

He did not intend to kill Danzo this time; direct murder was the worst possible choice! Especially given Obito's identity as an Uchiha, killing a high-ranking Konoha official would put him in a very passive position. Showing off his power and letting the enemy make the mistakes was the superior strategy! The Susanoo was the best way to demonstrate his strength, and more importantly, it was big! It was imposing!

This was also the first time Obito had seen the man with the darkest heart in the Naruto world. At this time, Danzo was only in his forties, had not yet transplanted the Sharingan or the First Hokage's cells, and the star-shaped scar on his chin made him look even more sinister.

"Uchiha... Obito, is this the Susanoo? It is truly astonishing!" Danzo said in a low voice.

"All things in the universe, turn to ashes, Ryujin Jakka!"

The Susanoo slowly drew its katana, and this massive blade of flame finally appeared before the world.

This was the first time Obito had used Ryujin Jakka. Its terrifying high temperature transformed into a pillar of fire that shot straight into the sky! It pierced the heavens and the earth, burning everything that could be burned, illuminating the dark night sky of Konoha!

The entire village of Konoha saw this pillar of fire! Shock! Confusion! Fear! All sorts of emotions flooded the hearts of everyone in Konoha!

Danzo's small courtyard had been reduced to nothingness. The base that had been located underground was now exposed to the sky; from the outside, it looked as if they were standing in a deep crater!

"What kind of power is this! A Susanoo cannot be this strong!" Danzo burrowed into the ground to escape the scorching heat, but he could clearly feel the moisture in his own body slowly evaporating! The enemy hadn't even attacked yet, and in a little while, he would be roasted into a dried husk!

The Third Hokage urgently summoned the Anbu and all the Jonin still in the village! When they rushed to the vicinity of the Root base, they felt the heat was already intense. Could there be a volcano beneath Root?

"Danzo! Do you want to play the coward? Is this the leader of the Root organization? You, of all people, want to be Hokage? You want to kill me? What a massive joke!" Obito shouted loudly.

"Damn it!" Hiding deep underground, Danzo burrowed another dozen meters down, gnashing his teeth at Obito's mocking words. However, he dared not go out to fight; he would definitely die!

"I cannot die yet! Konoha still needs me. I am not afraid of death; everything I do is for Konoha! I must possess the power of the First Hokage and Madara!" Danzo frantically made excuses to himself in his heart.

Meanwhile, Fugaku had arrived at the scene with the core members of his clan and several elders, just in time to stand at a distance from the Konoha Jonin led by the Third Hokage.

Seeing that the audience was all present, Obito began to channel all the chakra in his body and the ocular power of his Mangekyo Sharingan!

The thirty-meter-tall half-body Susanoo slowly stood up! It grew to nearly a hundred meters in height and sprouted a pair of wings! A Complete Body Susanoo!

"This is! This is the Complete Body Susanoo! Does our Uchiha clan still possess such an existence?" The Uchiha clansmen discussed excitedly in loud voices, while the powerful elders cast deep, meaningful glances at Fugaku, who stood in the center with a calm expression.

"This is... oh no! It must be the child Danzo tried to assassinate. Has he grown to such a level already?" The Third Hokage felt extremely anxious.

"Go find Tsunade immediately. Tell her Uchiha Obito has attacked the Root headquarters and Danzo's fate is unknown," the Third Hokage ordered an Anbu operative.

Obito controlled the Susanoo to spread its wings and fly upward, hovering in mid-air as he shouted, "Third Hokage! I wonder what crime I have committed to deserve being assassinated by your men? Is it simply because my surname is Uchiha?"

Obito's words resonated strongly with the Uchiha clan. For so many years, they had lived under the surveillance of the Anbu, and the resentment in their hearts had long since reached the brink of eruption.

Obito had specifically wanted Fugaku to bring the Uchiha clansmen here so that he could become their new pillar of support, gradually becoming their faith—their new god!

The power and resources of the Uchiha clan were the easiest for him to obtain; this was the unique advantage of the surname he held in this life!
