"Fugaku, don't get worked up! Don't lead the entire clan down the path of rebellion!" Shimura Danzō softened his tone for the first time.
If the Uchiha rebelled now, Konoha simply could not bear the consequences!
The Uchiha Clan, with its strength fully intact and a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, against a Konoha devastated by the Nine-Tails Incident!
Even if Konoha won, it might reignite the Third Ninja World War!
Yu Zhi, watching from the shadows, found the scene amusing. The Pot Kage had completely blown it!
"Shimura Danzō, this is the first time you've been so humble before me!"
Fugaku felt incomparably exhilarated. As his words fell, the Chakra and ocular power within him suddenly surged wildly.
"Susanoo!"
His deep shout echoed through the night sky. An enormous, towering black skeletal body condensed out of thin air, its grim bones standing tall as an overwhelming pressure instantly swept across the entire clan grounds.
The entire scene fell silent. Everyone stared wide-eyed, utterly intimidated by this immense power.
The Sky Screen displayed a detailed explanation of Susanoo, leaving the Douluo people dumbfounded!
[A god-tier Ninjutsu exclusive to the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyō Sharingan. Chakra and ocular power combine to form a giant war god for protective combat.] [Possesses both offense and defense, can awaken exclusive divine artifacts, causes widespread destruction, and at its peak can split mountains and shake Tailed Beasts.]
Discussion erupted everywhere, filled with shock and uproar.
"Susanoo?! The Uchiha actually hid such terrifying power?"
"Hiss—does the Sharingan have no limits? What kind of invincible Martial Soul is this?"
"Hehe, it has both offense and defense, and can even awaken divine artifacts! Are they supposed to let anyone else live?"
"As expected of the Uchiha Clan's patriarch! He's far too powerful!"
"What? With strength like this, why the hell was Fugaku so cowardly?!"
"Is something wrong with Fugaku? With strength like this, he still watched the Uchiha Clan get wiped out?"
"I'm rather curious about the First Hokage who founded Konoha. How did he subdue a clan like this and become Hokage?"
Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City.
Xue Ye rose to his feet, stared at the Susanoo on the Sky Screen, and then sighed.
"It seems the Naruto Continent hides far more secrets than we imagined!"
Qian Renxue's expression was solemn, her brows furrowed in thought. "The Nine-Tails Incident was already about to end, yet such a twist still emerged. This daughter believes there must have been another hidden reason behind the Uchiha Clan's destruction."
Xue Ye nodded slightly, his voice full of emotion. "I originally thought the Uchiha Clan must have been terribly weakened to be destroyed by one person. Now, it seems the truth is entirely different!"
"The younger generation had geniuses like Uchiha Shisui! The upper ranks had experts like Fugaku Uchiha! There were also so many Three-Tomoe clan members in between! The clan was at its peak! How could it possibly have been wiped out by a single person?!"
"Indeed, Your Majesty! Konoha's strongest figures are merely the Third Hokage and Fourth Hokage! The Uchiha are so powerful, with experts throughout the clan—why did they live so miserably?"
Marshal Ge Long was deeply puzzled. In the Heaven Dou Empire, if a family possessed such strength, even the emperor would have to treat them with courtesy!
"Marshal, that is not quite right."
Qian Renxue's gaze swept across the civil and military officials as she slowly voiced her assessment. "Konoha must possess overwhelming strength to keep the Uchiha Clan suppressed and leave their patriarch indecisive! The Uchiha elites shown on the Sky Screen are all proud and arrogant people! Konoha must be even more extraordinary!"
"The Crown Prince is wise!" Xue Ye praised before sweeping his gaze over the crowd.
"Konoha possesses such foundations, yet does not know how to cherish them. It watched the Uchiha Clan and its villagers become estranged from one another, which is no different from cutting off its own arm! In my view, its title as the number one of the Shinobi World may soon be lost! Meanwhile, our Heaven Dou Empire has united ruler and subjects, and treats powerful factions and experts well! Sooner or later, we shall stand at the pinnacle of Douluo!"
Qian Renxue watched it all with amusement. She knew Xue Ye could no longer sit still!
Dugu Bo had joined Spirit Hall, while Yu Zhi was zealously publicizing it through the Sky Screen! Combined with the Sky Screen's display of the Uchiha Clan's tragic destruction, it would inevitably stir unrest throughout the continent!
If this old fox did not speak up to reassure the people now, he would not deserve to be emperor!
She bowed and echoed his words. "Father has great foresight. Heaven Dou will surely prosper forever!"
The civil and military officials all responded in unison, and waves of cheers echoed through the grand hall.
Within Spirit Hall's Worship Hall, several Douluo stared intently at the Sky Screen, each wearing a different expression.
Guang Ling Douluo furrowed his brows tightly and turned toward Qian Daoliu, who sat at the head of the hall. "Big Brother, can you still estimate Fugaku Uchiha's true strength?"
The other Douluo immediately turned to look as well.
At first, they had been able to clearly judge that Fugaku's strength was roughly equivalent to a level ninety-two Titled Douluo. But after he activated Susanoo, the power around him became elusive and unfathomable, impossible to assess precisely.
Qian Daoliu's eyes shifted slightly. Borrowing the Angel God's divine power, he sensed carefully for a moment before slowly speaking. "After activating Susanoo, his ocular power and Chakra fused into a special kind of energy. He is now roughly comparable to level ninety-seven."
This power was entirely different from Soul Power. Even Golden Crocodile Douluo, at level ninety-eight, could not see through it. Only divine power could glimpse a few clues.
"It rose by a full five levels at once?" Falling Devil Douluo looked shocked and could not help swallowing. "Can the Titled Douluo level really soar like this? Are we sure the Sharingan isn't a god-tier Martial Soul?"
"That is very possible! We truly underestimated the Sharingan's limits!"
Guang Ling Douluo narrowed his eyes as he looked at the lingering image on the Sky Screen, his tone full of amazement.
"Not only can it continuously evolve, it can also advance into the Mangekyō and awaken Susanoo! This ability gives an enormous boost to those of the same level!"
He frowned slightly, his heart filled with confusion and curiosity. "I'm becoming increasingly curious now. Just how powerful was that First Hokage back then, to forcibly subdue the Uchiha Clan and establish Konoha?!"
Falling Devil Douluo sighed. "That was probably another legend! After all, Madara Uchiha, the First Hokage's enemy, could make Minato Namikaze treat him like a formidable foe with his name alone! That shows just how terrifying he was!"
"What I'm curious about now is how Danzo intends to block this?" Thousand Jun Douluo said with a disdainful smile.
He had disliked Shimura Danzō from the moment he appeared! The man was far too sinister!
Golden Crocodile Douluo crossed his arms, his gaze profound. "And Fugaku is risking his life! Yu Zhi has driven him to the end! Given the Uchiha Clan's circumstances, he might as well die in battle! That way, his wife and younger son would still be treated well!"
He did not mention Itachi Uchiha, but every Douluo knew that Itachi would absolutely not survive!
Fugaku might even have wanted to trade his own death in battle for Itachi to receive a quicker death!
Mighty Lion Douluo shook his head gently, his tone carrying a trace of regret. "He has been utterly unqualified as a patriarch!"
All the Douluo nodded. Yu Zhi had said it on the Sky Screen: Fugaku had been too indecisive, only making up his mind at the very end!
Strictly speaking, he had even been unqualified as a father!
He had raised his own son into the murderer who destroyed his clan!
This had truly opened their eyes!
