Uchiha Izuna Unleashes Chakra!

Uchiha Fugaku sighed. He hadn't expected Sarutobi Hiruzen to still be thinking of framing others even at this stage. He rubbed his fingers against the Hokage Rock in the distance.

Uchiha Izuna received the signal and immediately broke into a smile, then vanished from the Hokage Rock and charged toward the Hokage Building.

"Uchiha Fugaku, could it be that I am wrong? You developed a newspaper and recorded baseless things in it, intending to incite the villagers to hate me, all to lay the foundation for your upcoming Coup d'état, right!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said coldly.

Uchiha Fugaku did not reply, instead keeping a straight face as he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen. His eyes were filled with contempt and disdain, and he inwardly cursed that this old thing was truly skilled at being disgusting.

The villagers had also calmed down. They looked between Uchiha Fugaku and Sarutobi Hiruzen, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, a voice rang out: "Yo, the Hokage has such an imposing official air. Could it be that when villagers have doubts about matters and want to consult you, the Third Hokage, you intend to engage in formalism—acting one way to their faces and another behind their backs?"

As he spoke, everyone cleared a path. Uchiha Izuna walked in from outside with his hands behind his back, his slacker demeanor looking exactly like a street thug in Konoha.

Uchiha Fugaku had just wanted to rebuke Uchiha Izuna for his attire, but remembering that the clan was now under Uchiha Izuna's control, he closed his mouth with peace of mind and watched his son's upcoming performance.

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes. He had an intuition that everything today had been arranged by this kid, forcing him into a corner and making his once-flawless image appear riddled with holes.

"You are just a child, what right do you have to speak on an occasion like this?" Anbu ninja immediately scolded, then looked at Uchiha Fugaku, who was hiding in the back.

Uchiha Fugaku merely gave him a look, and the Anbu ninja was dragged into an endless genjutsu.

This scene fell perfectly into the eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen. His pupils constricted; he hadn't expected Uchiha Fugaku to be so bold this time, daring to strike at the Hokage's Anbu.

At the same time, a sense of fear radiated from his heart. Yes, he was afraid. With his physical functions already deteriorating, he could only think of that one move to deal with the young and vigorous Uchiha Fugaku.

But after using that move, he would also die. He didn't want to die; he had his own selfishness, and he craved the taste of life and power. He took a deep breath, intending to speak.

As a result, Uchiha Izuna laughed: "I'm not qualified to speak on this occasion? Sarutobi Hiruzen, you are very brave to speak to me like that!"

Having said that, Uchiha Izuna took his first step, no longer concealing his chakra, and released it!

A deep, sea-blue, heavy chakra instantly filled the entire Hokage office! It made the hearts of all the ninja clans present tighten. This chakra...

The contempt and disdain Sarutobi Hiruzen had just felt vanished, replaced by solemnity and pressure. He had seen this density and volume of chakra before: it belonged to the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

Although the First Hokage was usually smiling and gentle with others, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, would occasionally have his older brother, Hashirama Senju, teach the children in his stead.

One of those lessons was called "Experiencing the Chakra Suppression of the Strong" to avoid being helpless and waiting for death when truly encountering them.

The young Sarutobi Hiruzen had been the one who progressed the most in this course, but he probably hadn't experienced such chakra suppression in forty years.

Having not been on the battlefield for thirty years, his physical functions and chakra reserves were constantly declining. Now, seeing the ten-year-old Uchiha Izuna erupt with such chakra, he could only resist with a solemn expression.

"Ding, detected that Sarutobi Hiruzen once underwent training by Hashirama Senju and has a certain resistance to Super Kage-level chakra. Relying solely on Uchiha Madara's chakra can only cause him shock and pressure, not enough to crush him."

"Ding, scanning Sarutobi Hiruzen's abilities."

"Ding, scan complete."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, Third Hokage of Konoha. He once held a Will of Fire comparable to the First Hokage, but his long-term life of luxury has caused his Will of Fire to begin to deviate."

"Strength has regressed significantly. His original strength could touch the Super Kage level, but after 30 years of stagnation, his current strength is in the upper-middle tier of Kage-level experts."

"Chakra volume rating: A. Ninjutsu power rating: A+-S. Forbidden jutsu rating: S-S and above."

"Hidden skill: Dead Demon Consuming Seal. Can only be used once. At the cost of his life, he signs a contract with the Reaper, and the Reaper will take away his enemy's soul!"

The system introduced Sarutobi Hiruzen's life, current state, and threatening skills from beginning to end, reminding Uchiha Izuna to be careful.

In fact, from start to finish, Sarutobi Hiruzen's ordinary ninjutsu could not cause damage to Uchiha Izuna, but his Dead Demon Consuming Seal was somewhat troublesome.

He really didn't know which dog had created this "limit-one-for-one" ninjutsu.

(Tobirama Senju:...)

"A hero is born in youth! I didn't expect the Uchiha Clan to have such a young boy. No wonder, no wonder Fugaku dared to take direct action today." Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was flat, his eyes fixed on Uchiha Izuna, and he even silently moved toward Uchiha Izuna's direction.

Uchiha Izuna's pupils constricted. Could this old bastard be planning a sneak attack? So, he reached out a large hand and grasped at the air toward the Anbu ninja.

A deep blue Susanoo hand grabbed the man and pulled him close. Uchiha Izuna stared intently at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped in his tracks, looking at Uchiha Izuna with astonishment. Was this guy really this cautious?

"Third Hokage, back off, or I won't mind taking a stroll through the Sarutobi Compound with Susanoo activated." Uchiha Izuna looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with cold eyes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was suddenly moved. He had shown no expression when facing the accusations of a thousand people, and no expression when facing Uchiha Izuna's violent, Super Kage-level chakra. But when Uchiha Izuna threatened him using the name "Sarutobi," he wavered.

Thus, Sarutobi Hiruzen stepped back, his eyes looking at Uchiha Izuna, revealing a mix of fawning and pleading.

He knew of the existence of Susanoo because history books recorded it as an existence that could rival the True Several Thousand Hands of Lord Hashirama Senju.

Although he had never seen it, he had sparred with Hashirama Senju and had been unable to fight back; the mere clash of taijutsu and ninjutsu had made him feel as if he were standing on the edge of an abyss.

Not to mention the true secret technique, True Several Thousand Hands! If Uchiha Izuna activated Susanoo, he might really be able to erase the Sarutobi Clan from existence!
