Susanoo

Uchiha Izuna opened the door to see little Hinata Hyuga standing there looking nervous, and he couldn't help but laugh. "Still up this late? Don't you have school tomorrow?"

"No, because I'm not six years old yet," Hinata Hyuga said innocently.

Uchiha Izuna was speechless. Right, how could he have forgotten that! Naruto Uzumaki was twelve when he graduated; counting back six years, that meant school started around age six.

Hinata Hyuga was only a little over five years old now, so what kind of school would she be attending?

Uchiha Izuna felt a bit awkward, so Uchiha Shisui stepped up to smooth things over. "Lady Hinata, are you saying that the In-Shika-Cho trio has arrived?"

Hinata nodded. "Uncle Shikaku, Uncle Choza, and Uncle Inoichi are already at the gate. When I came over, Father was just leading them to the main hall."

Uchiha Izuna nodded. "Alright, I understand the situation. Little Hinata, thank you!" Uchiha Izuna pinched her cheek, then glanced at Uchiha Itachi, who was still in bed, snorted coldly, and headed toward the main hall.

Uchiha Shisui gave Uchiha Itachi a solid slap while he was still dreaming. "Stop sleeping! The main event is here; the moment that will decide the future fate of Konoha has arrived!"

Uchiha Itachi woke up immediately. He sat bolt upright on the bed, but his eyes were unfocused and hazy; clearly, he hadn't fully woken up yet and was still lost in his dreams.

"What? What is it? Shisui?" Uchiha Itachi looked so foolish that Uchiha Shisui gritted his teeth!

"Get up and follow me! Something big is about to happen!" With that, Uchiha Shisui tossed his clothes at him.

Hearing Shisui's loud reprimand, Uchiha Itachi finally snapped to his senses, hurriedly put on his clothes, and followed behind him as they dashed toward the hall.

In the hall, Shikaku Nara sat in the seat of honor on the right, while the seat of honor on the left remained empty. He spoke up, "Brother Hiashi, is that seat taken? If not, I might have to let my people sit there."

Hyuga Hiashi smiled. "Oh, that seat? He got tired from breathing fire and is still resting. When I saw him open his mouth, the entire mountain range was set ablaze in an instant."

Shikaku Nara's pupils constricted. A mouthful of fire? An S-rank Fire Style? Otherwise, how could he have burned the mountain and scared Shimura Danzō and his group into fleeing without looking back? Interesting! This Uchiha ninja is quite interesting.

"Don't worry, I've already sent Hinata to notify him. Please, be patient. Come, drink up!" Hyuga Hiashi raised his cup toward Shikaku Nara.

Shikaku Nara took a long look at Hyuga Hiashi, then downed the wine in his cup.

Just then, someone reported, "Clan Leader, Lord Uchiha Izuna has arrived."

Hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi smiled and said, "Shikaku, the person you've been thinking about is here. Don't set your expectations too high, though."

Shikaku glanced at him. "I know what I'm doing." After saying this, he set down his cup, sat up straight, and looked toward the door.

According to the reports from Hyuga Hiashi and his subordinates, this Uchiha Izuna was the real deal! He was also curious about how capable someone had to be to make Hyuga Hiashi personally take action and send invitations to them.

Choza Akimichi didn't care about any of that and continued eating his delicacies. In his mind, he left the thinking to Shikaku Nara, while he only needed to provide support.

Inoichi Yamanaka was sipping fine wine, though his eyes flickered toward the door from time to time. He remembered that the Uchiha were the only ninja clan that hadn't bowed to Shimura Danzō.

He really wanted to see what kind of skills the current leader of the Uchiha possessed!

Uchiha Izuna stopped at the entrance. He straightened his clothes, pushed open the doors, and took his first step!

Violent blue chakra erupted instantly, and everyone in the hall felt their minds go blank, feeling a sense of suffocation.

Ding, mission issued: Subdue Shikaku Nara, Choza Akimichi, and Inoichi Yamanaka. Reward: Five-element chakra.

This was the mission the system had issued when he left the lounge, and it was this mission that made him abandon the idea of keeping a low profile, choosing instead to make a high-profile entrance to seize the initiative!

"Everyone, apologies for the wait." After saying this, Uchiha Izuna didn't retract his chakra pressure; instead, he doubled it!

Choza Akimichi struggled to lift his head, bit off a piece of chicken leg, and lowered his head to continue chewing. Joking aside, even if disaster is imminent, it can't stop me from eating!

If I'm going to die, I'll die a well-fed ghost!

Inoichi Yamanaka looked at him in horror. He couldn't straighten his back, and his whole body was pressed against the table. [Is this the trump card of the Uchiha clan? So powerful. This pressure is comparable to the Nine-Tails!!]

(Uchiha Madara: "???" Nine-Tails: "!!!")

Shikaku Nara fought hard not to yield, but the more he resisted, the heavier the pressure on him became.

Hyuga Hiashi cursed out loud, "Zhan, we're teammates! Can you stop suppressing me with your chakra!"

Uchiha Izuna's chakra pressure paused, and he scratched his head. "Sorry about that, my fault!" With that, he canceled the chakra pressure on Hyuga Hiashi and continued to focus on intimidating Shikaku Nara, Choza Akimichi, and Inoichi Yamanaka.

Hyuga Hiashi rolled his eyes. He didn't believe for a second that Uchiha Izuna had done it by accident; he was clearly trying to show him just how powerful his strength was and how vast his chakra reserves were.

Shikaku Nara finally sighed. "Uchiha Izuna, call off your power. We already know your strength. Indeed, you have the ability to change the landscape of Konoha, but force alone isn't enough to make us submit."

After hearing this, Uchiha Izuna withdrew his chakra pressure and looked at Shikaku Nara with a smile. "As expected of Konoha's long-standing strategist, your mind certainly works fast."

Immediately after, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui arrived. Uchiha Izuna signaled them, and the two reacted instantly, recalling Uchiha Izuna's previous instructions.

The two closed the main doors, and then both manifested the second form of Susanoo in the hall, with red and green figures appearing.

Although they were only the upper bodies, the chakra and the sense of oppression radiating from them made everyone present skip a heartbeat.

"This... is this Susanoo? The legendary Susanoo with power comparable to the gods!" Shikaku Nara's pupils constricted, his voice trembling.

He still remembered his father saying that back in the day, once Uchiha Madara's Susanoo appeared, a single strike could wipe out a small nation!

It was just that the First Hokage was too idealistic, which led to the five great nations and five ninja villages never being unified.

Now, times had changed, and he never expected to see the Uchiha clan's Susanoo—let alone two of them!

The next moment, Uchiha Izuna activated his blue Susanoo!

From that moment on, everyone fell into a deathly silence.
