Uchiha's Victory (2)

"Issei?!"

"It's Uchiha Issei?!"

"He actually..."

The first to arrive with Sarutobi Hiruzen were his direct subordinates in the Anbu.

The forty-meter-tall Susanoo extremely intimidating, and the crowd only dared to stand a hundred meters away. Even so, they did not feel very safe.

Looking at Danzo disheveled Danzo and the corpses of several Root Ninja around him, Sarutobi Hiruzen already had a general idea in his mind.

Unexpectedly, even Uchiha Issei has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

So, the Uchiha Clan actually possesses four pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan. This level of combat power is beyond terrifying!

If a large-scale internal conflict were to break out, the suppression of the Uchiha Clan alone could deal a devastating blow to Konoha.

The wounds inflicted on Konoha by the Third Shinobi World War have not yet healed, and the village and its various Ninja Clan have not yet recovered their strength. Surrounded by external enemies, it is simply unbelievable that the Uchiha Clan has not only recovered its strength but has also reached the peak of its combat power.

Actually, when he saw Shisui reveal that he possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, Sarutobi Hiruzen was already somewhat shaken.

Having three pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan is no joke.

Even though Shisui said he would use his Dōjutsu to change Chiho and Fugaku's minds and dissuade the Uchiha Clan from their coup, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still terrified and dared not relax for a moment.

Now Issei has also awakened his eyes. Such a tall Susanoo is the only Sarutobi Hiruzen has ever seen in his life. Even according to the records of the Warring States Period, Issei's Susanoo is second only to Uchiha Madara.

You should know that Madara was a top-tier powerhouse who was able to severely injure the First Hokage, the God of Shinobi.

In Konoha today, Shiraha and Kushina are independent, Minato is seriously injured and has been in a coma for many years, and Sarutobi Hiruzen is old and frail. Even if they could bring back Jiraiya and Tsunade, it would probably not be an easy task to deal with Issei.

Moreover, Jiraiya and Tsunade are no longer on his side, and unless Konoha faces a life-or-death situation, they may not be willing to come back to help.

Ultimately, the problem of the Uchiha Clan is not without a peaceful solution, so even if Jiraiya and Tsunade return, they may not necessarily take action.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly shouted, "Issei! Don't be impulsive! I don't know what happened, but I hope you can calm down first!"

"Calm down? Of course I'm calm, otherwise I would have already killed Danzo." "Uchiha Issei" smiled. The characters are coming out one by one, and the show can only begin.

As he spoke, "Uchiha Issei" controlled the giant Susanoo on his body. As his Eye Power faded, the Susanoo also shrank rapidly and finally disappeared.

"Uchiha Issei" closed his Mangekyō Sharingan, and a small amount of blood oozed from the corners of his eyes.

He appeared to be abandoning the fight and preparing for peace talks.

'As expected, after acquiring the First Hokage Cells, the side effects of using the Mangekyō Sharingan were not as pronounced as anticipated.'

Shiraha sensed the changes in the body of the Wood Spirit Avatar "Uchiha Issei". Even when he used Susanoo to its Fourth Form, which was close to the limit, he only felt a little soreness in his eyes and a small amount of bleeding at the corner of his eyes afterward, which was completely within an acceptable range.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Shisui, who was also injured beside Uchiha Issei, then looked at Danzo and asked, "Danzo, what exactly happened?!"

The reason he asked Danzo was to give Danzo a chance to admit his mistake.

As a long-time teammate who had worked together for decades, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew Danzo even better than he knew his wife and son.

Shisui revealed that he possessed the ' Kotoamatsukami ', which is considered the strongest Genjutsu. Given Danzo's audacious and reckless nature, it is not impossible that he would ambush Shisui with his men halfway through the journey.

However, once Shisui and "Uchiha Issei" define the situation, even he will be unable to hold onto Danzo.

"Hiruzen!" Danzo reacted instantly, his voice deep and menacing. "I told you long ago that the Uchiha Clan has ulterior motives. Besides Shisui, Issei also concealed the fact that he possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan! I now know the complete steps of the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Come with me to deal with him!"

"Danzo! Do you know what you're saying?!" Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted Danzo sharply. He had given Danzo a chance, but he hadn't expected Danzo to try and drag him down with him. Was he really going to gamble everything? This was a situation he didn't want to see.

Faced with Danzo's attempt to turn the Danzo, Uchiha Issei did not react at all. After all, what Danzo said was true, and he did have ulterior motives. Otherwise, he would not have used this fishing method to lure Danzo.

However, if Danzo such great malice towards the Uchiha, he wouldn't have fallen into this trap; it was all his own fault.

Just then, a large number of ninjas arrived.

Surprisingly, the first to arrive were Uchiha Clan lived quite far away.

Dozens of the Uchiha Clan who had Sharingan arrived, led by Chiho.

Upon seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen realized that this was a scheme by the Uchiha Clan, but it was too late.

The situation has reached this point and is now out of control.

It's all Danzo's fault for having ulterior motives; otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

What happened?

"Shisui, what's wrong?"

"Issei, how are you?"

The Uchiha clan members noticed Shisui's disheveled appearance and the two lines of blood at the corner of "Uchiha Issei's " eye. Looking at the strength of the Root Ninja around them and the mess of battle debris, they quickly realized what was happening.

"The people from the Root have actually attacked you!"

"Danzo, what exactly do you want to do?!"

"Let's fight them!"

"Kill Danzo and the Third Hokage, and the success or failure of the coup hinges on this!"

"Overthrow the rule of the elite and oppose oppression!"

Dozens of Uchiha were filled with fervor, all activating their Sharingan. More than half of the Uchiha shouted and charged directly at Danzo and the Third Hokage.

This clan meeting was originally intended to discuss a coup, but now that the higher-ups have made the first move, they no longer need to hold back.

Especially now that the combined number of ninjas around Danzo and the Third Hokage is less than half of theirs, and with the Uchiha Clan now having four Mangekyō Sharingan users and their elite awakened members gathered together, they have a real chance to win quickly.

"Stop! Everyone, calm down!" Fugaku quickly urged.

However, the Uchiha, blinded by rage, turned a deaf ear to this.

Boom!

A Susanoo, as pink as cherry blossoms Susanoo appeared, and a huge arm blocked the Uchiha group's path.

The person who made the move was Chiho, who had led the group here.

Instead of Fugaku's verbal persuasion, she directly activated her Mangekyō Sharingan and used Susanoo to stop everyone.

"Chief Chiho, what are you doing?"

Why are you stopping us?

"This is the perfect opportunity!"

The Uchiha shouted, but everyone stopped in their tracks.

Susanoo to the power of a god; it represents the absolute suppression of the Mangekyō Sharingan over the ordinary Sharingan.

In particular, Chiho was not as easy to talk to as Fugaku. Although she only served as the clan leader for a year, her prestige in the eyes of the people was higher than that of Fugaku.

Because she dared to speak frankly about the Uchiha's demands at High-Level Meeting, and when faced with the high-level officials' perfunctory attitude, she would simply walk away without a word.

Everyone wanted to see what she had to say.

"Lord Third Hokage, no one wanted things to turn out this way; this is your responsibility! If you don't give a satisfactory answer to what happened today, I'm afraid I won't be able to give the clansmen an explanation. What they might do then, I, as the clan chief, will be beyond my control!"

Chiho stared coldly at Sarutobi Hiruzen. Although she had stopped the Uchiha clansmen, the threat in her words was already quite obvious.

"Chiho, please calm down, I..." Sarutobi Hiruzen sweating profusely. Even with his decades of experience Hokage, he had never encountered a more critical situation than today. If things went wrong, Konoha might be doomed!

Sarutobi Hiruzen's direct Anbu were also tense. More than half of them drew their Anbu Ninja Blade and entered a state of combat readiness when the Uchiha were about to charge, but some of the Anbu did not intend to make a move.

Although they were Sarutobi Hiruzen's direct Anbu, they did not receive Brainwashing Training similar to that of Root. They also had their own families behind them, and although their families were on good terms with the Sarutobi Clan, they were first and foremost members of Konoha.

This conflict is not one between enemies, but rather an internal conflict among our own people.

They don't have to make a move; they simply won't.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shisui with a pleading look in his eyes, hoping that Shisui, the inheritor of the Will of Fire, could step forward and turn the tide.

However, Shisui shook his head at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Lord Third Hokage, Danzo's actions today have made it impossible for me to trust you anymore!"

At this moment, a large number of Konoha ninjas arrived at the scene.

The vast majority of them were Jōnin.

After all, the speed of Jōnin is Genin and Chunin can't match.

Apart from the Jōnin their posts, most of the Jōnin from Konoha had arrived here.

The heads of various families also rushed to this place.

Even after the depletion of resources during the Third Shinobi World War, more than two hundred people, representing half of Konoha's Jōnin, were gathered here.

Shikaku Nara, the head of the Nara Clan, the leader of the Jonin Squad, and known as the strategist of Konoha, stepped forward and asked, "Lord Third Hokage, what's going on?"

"Fugaku, what's going on? What are you trying to do? Have you forgotten the promise you made with Minato? If internal strife breaks out in the village, Konoha is finished!"

At the same time, Chōza Akimichi also stepped forward.

The Yamanaka, Akimichi, and Nara clans are closely related, and although they are on good terms with the Sarutobi Clan, they do not share the same fate.

Chōza Akimichi, Nara Shikaku, and Shikaku Nara Inoichi Yamanaka all had close relationships with Minato Namikaze. Minato Namikaze's rise to the position of the Fourth Hokage was not only due to the strong support of the Third Hokage, but also inseparable from the strong support of the Yamanaka, Akimichi, and Nara clans.

Fugaku and Minato also had a good relationship. Although Chōza Akimichi, Shikaku Nara Inoichi Yamanaka did not have much interaction with Fugaku, they fought side by side many times during the Ninja World War, and they also had some understanding of Fugaku's personality.

Therefore, Chōza Akimichi did not question Chiho, the current clan head, but instead confronted Fugaku, hoping that he would prioritize the overall situation.

Many Ninja Clan were also panicked. They had seen the higher-ups targeting the Uchiha Clan, but they remained silent because they were not the ones being targeted. Moreover, the pie of Konoha was only so big, and the Uchiha were the strongest, so in principle they should indeed get the biggest slice. But if the higher-ups didn't give it to them, it was none of their business. It would be best if the Uchiha could just endure it.

But no one expected that the Uchiha Clan would resort to such extreme violence to resist.

More than getting a smaller share of the pie, they are worried that the Uchiha Clan will overturn the table, so they have no choice but to speak out now.

Whether you help the higher-ups or the Uchiha, it will turn Konoha upside down.

Being able to sit down and have a proper talk is naturally the best option.

"What we Uchiha Clan do depends on the Third Hokage's decision," Chiho said in a deep voice. "Lord Third Hokage, now it's time to choose Danzo or the Uchiha."

"Chiho, I..." Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless for a moment in the face of Chiho's aggressive attitude.

"Uchiha Issei" said loudly, "Everyone, we are all comrades living in Konoha. Even if our Uchiha Clan doesn't do well in many aspects, we are still a part of Konoha."

The Uchiha Clan has always been at the forefront in every battle, large or small, and has never retreated even once!

All we want now is a right commensurate with our efforts, but not only do the higher-ups disagree, Danzo even sent ninjas to ambush Shisui, attempting to seize our Uchiha Clan's Mangekyō Sharingan.

If those who attack their own fellow villagers are not severely punished, the Uchiha today will be yours tomorrow!

The dignity of the Will of Fire must be defended!

When everyone learned the truth, they were shocked that Danzo dared to do such a heinous thing.

Moreover, Issei's words struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.

The Will of Fire undoubtedly played a crucial role in enabling the Konoha Ninja Clan alliance to exist for decades. Even though many high-ranking members of the Ninja Clan did not believe in the Will of Fire Will of Fire, most of the Konoha ninjas regarded it as their spiritual anchor.

If Konoha can let go of anyone who attacks its own comrades, it's only a matter of time before it falls apart.

Upon hearing Issei escalate the incident to the level of the Will of Fire, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart skipped a beat. Danzo was finished, and even he himself would be implicated.

"The Uchiha Clan is attempting a coup to overthrow Konoha. I am taking action for the sake of the village!"

Danzo's face was ashen, and he made a last-ditch effort.

"So you admit to attacking Shisui?" Uchiha Issei sneered, "Shisui's reputation throughout Konoha is well-known. Even if the Uchiha were forced by the higher-ups to attempt a coup, Shisui would never have participated!"

He even attempted to use the Genjutsu of the Mangekyō Sharingan to alter Chiho and Fugaku's memories in order to prevent the coup from happening.

You can't lay a hand on Shisui, no matter who you're dealing with. Your actions are just to satisfy your own selfish desires!

The Sharingan on your right arm is the best evidence!

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood what had happened. Based on Shisui's performance over the years, even if he was Uchiha, he had absolutely no flaws. He was a Konoha Ninja with top-notch strength and character. In particular, he often received public praise from the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, and was an idol and role model for many rising Konoha.

Once "Uchiha Issei" said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't refute it. Danzo could be excused for attacking anyone, but he couldn't excuse the sneak Shisui.

"Using our Uchiha Clan's Sharingan to steal the Uchiha Clan's Forbidden Technique to fight against the Uchiha, Danzo, you have some nerve!" Uchiha Issei continued.

Danzo sleeve. He regretted not saving Izanagi this time. If the Three-Tomoe Sharingan on his arm were also blinded, he would have a way to make excuses.

"This old man"

"Danzo! You wouldn't be spouting Sharingan like these Sharingan were entrusted to you by our deceased Uchiha senior, Kagami Uchiha, would you? Kagami-senpai died unexpectedly, and his body was never found. You didn't know that, did you?! Or did you orchestrate Kagami-senpai's death?!"

"Uchiha Issei" interrupted Danzo, sealing off his last escape route.

"..." Danzo stared intently at Issei; this was exactly the kind of excuse he was going to make.

Why?

He almost succeeded!
