The slaughter continued. Sarutobi Yongdu and the others watched as the Third Hokage, who was enlarging his power recklessly and showing no intention of conserving Chakra, could only hide to the side and defend themselves with Earth Release.
By this point, most of the Sarutobi Clan members had been awakened. Those who were ninjas began to rush over, while some ordinary clan members began to spontaneously migrate to the refuge.
"Hmph, trying to run away? That won't do. If Gen finds out, won't he come after me? The whole clan must stay together." Watching the ordinary Sarutobi clan members preparing to take refuge, Orochimaru, hiding in the shadows, began to control Hiruzen Sarutobi to unleash his full power.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh...
"Ah~ Help!"
" Hiruzen Sarutobi, you'll die a horrible death!"
" Third Hokage, it's me, Yongdai! You even held me when I was little!"
"No~ No, please! Hiruzen, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
" Hiruzen, wake up! These are all your clansmen!"
" Hiruzen, how will you face Sasuke after acting like this?"
"Everyone run! Hiruzen Sarutobi has gone mad..."
"Where are the guards? Why haven't they arrived yet? Do they have to wipe out the Sarutobi Clan before they come?"
Without the weakness of Chakra, the Impure World Reincarnation Tensei Third Hokage unleashed his Multi-Shadow Clone Technique Jutsu, cutting down people everywhere, causing the death toll of the Sarutobi Clan to multiply in an instant.
If no one stops them, the entire Sarutobi Clan will probably be slaughtered in less than ten minutes.
" Yongdu, we can't wait any longer! Our clansmen are dying! Let's go! With such a commotion, reinforcements should be arriving soon!" Sarutobi had been on the defensive, roared at Yongdu beside him, his eyes wide with fury as he watched his clansmen die Yongci.
Seeing his cousin's frantic expression, Sarutobi Yongdu had no doubt that if he possessed the bloodline of the Uchiha Clan, he could probably awaken the Three-Tomoe Sharingan on the spot.
"Alright, let's be careful. This old guy is no ordinary person." We can't keep defending ourselves. The Third Hokage with his Shadow Clone Technique activated is simply beyond our ability to defend against.
"Understood~"
"Everyone, attack together! Even the strongest Third Hokage cannot slaughter our people at will!"
Nine Jonin, along with the surviving clan ninjas, confidently launched a suicidal charge against the Third Hokage who was slaughtering them.
"Everyone, run! Take your people and get out of here! You have no idea what you're facing!"
As the Third Impure World Reincarnation watched his clansmen face death without flinching, he roared inwardly. With his immortality, no matter how many more of his clansmen came, they would only be sent to their deaths.
Unfortunately, no matter how heartbroken he was, the Impure World Reincarnation's actions did not falter because of his grief.
With a swift stroke, the knife falls... With a swift stroke, the knife falls... With a swift stroke, the knife falls...

Boom boom boom~~~
The deafening roar startled the entire Konoha, and some children were so frightened by the series of loud noises that they wet the bed.
" Xiao Jinyuan, you wet the bed again?" Pakura felt the dampness of the sheets and immediately grabbed Xiao Jinyuan and slapped his bottom a few times.
"It's not my fault, it's all because of the thunder outside~"
Uchiha Fugaku, who had just arrived home, stared in disbelief at his eldest son, Itachi, furtively carrying a wet pair of underwear. "How old is Itachi? He still wets the bed? If word gets out, he'll be a laughingstock!"
"Father, let me explain, this belongs to Sasuke..." Seeing his father suddenly appear, Uchiha Itachi was startled. Why was his father still wandering around outside so late?
"Yes, yes, yes! This is Little Sasuke's doing." As expected of Uchiha Fugaku's son, his ability to adapt to changing circumstances is truly remarkable.
"I mean it, Father." Looking at Uchiha Fugaku's expression, Uchiha Itachi, with his years of sales experience, knew exactly what he was thinking. It was all Sasuke's fault—no, it was his Little Sasuke brother's fault, it was all that loud noise.
Kumogakure Delegation's Base~
"Lady Kuroi, something seems to have happened to the Sarutobi Clan." Such a commotion... could someone be invading the Sarutobi Clan?
"Hmph, my ears aren't deaf yet. With such a commotion, the whole of Konoha probably knows about it." At this critical juncture, such a big thing has happened in Konoha. I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I hope it won't affect my plans.
"Should we move up our plans? With Konoha's attention focused on the Sarutobi Clan, now is the perfect time for us to strike, sir." Sarui was also very curious about what was happening with the Sarutobi Clan, but with a mission at hand, any curiosity could lead to failure, so it was best to play it safe.
"Heh, what a naive idea. With such a big commotion in Konoha, do you think they won't increase their vigilance? Right now is the peak of Konoha's martial law, and as outsiders, we are their primary targets of surveillance and suspicion. Rushing out at this time is simply suicide, and you might even become the scapegoat for the real culprit who invaded the Sarutobi Clan." No wonder he's still a Special Jōnin at such an advanced age, with this kind of mindset? It seems there's a reason why Lord Raikage put me in charge.
"Ah? This... I was short-sighted." This is troublesome. Lord Sarui's actions are nothing like those of Kumogakure. But thankfully he's here, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
The slaughter of the Sarutobi Clan continues...
" Yongdu, what exactly happened here? What happened to Hiruzen?" Looking at the devastated Central Clan territory, Sarutobi Rize, who had come to provide support, wondered if he was dreaming.
"Senior Hizawa, the Third Hokage has gone mad! He did all Third Hokage! So many brothers and sisters have died at the hands of this demon! You must avenge them!" Swaying precariously from his wounds, Sarutobi Yongdu breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the hundreds of clan ninjas who had arrived. Of the companions who had followed him, only he and Yongchuan remained alive.
If reinforcements don't arrive soon, he and Yongchuan will probably die at Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands in a few minutes. The reason they've been able to hold out until now isn't because they're particularly strong, but mainly because Hiruzen Sarutobi is focused on slaughtering and exterminating his clan and has no time to pay attention to them.
"Impossible, Hiruzen would never do such a thing..."

Before Sarutobi Rize could finish speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi, in the distance, began his relentless bombardment.
"This... Hiruzen, you scoundrel! You're trying to wipe out the entire Sarutobi Clan! Everyone, attack!" Faced with the facts, Sarutobi Rize had no choice but to believe the scene he was witnessing. Looking at his clansmen with their limbs flying everywhere, Sarutobi Rize wished he could Hiruzen Sarutobi to pieces.
