Defeating Uchiha Fugaku in One Move

Uchiha Gōka held Tsunade's hand and quickly arrived at the center of the crowd—the training ground, which also served as the election arena.

A fresh wave of commotion rose from the surrounding crowd.

Seeing Uchiha Gōka and Tsunade holding hands so intimately,

everyone was certain that Tsunade had become Uchiha Gōka's woman.

Tsunade followed Uchiha Gōka to the side of the training ground. Knowing that he was about to step onto the stage and challenge Uchiha Fugaku, she finally let go of his hand.

Uchiha Gōka stepped onto the arena and faced Uchiha Fugaku. "Fugaku! I am running for the position of Uchiha Clan head."

"Now, I challenge you!"

Uchiha Fugaku furrowed his brows slightly, puzzled. Could Uchiha Gōka really be a hidden master?

The Great Elder standing on the arena—Uchiha Hōka—was equally bewildered. "Uchiha Gōka... this guy actually dares to challenge Uchiha Fugaku."

Uchiha Setsuna wore a sly expression as he gleefully reminded him, "Great Elder, someone is challenging Uchiha Fugaku."

"Why are you still standing there in a daze?"

Hearing Uchiha Setsuna's words, the Great Elder's face twitched slightly as he came back to his senses. "The Uchiha Clan head election will continue."

"Uchiha Gōka challenges Uchiha Fugaku."

At Great Elder Uchiha Hōka's instruction, Uchiha Setsuna promptly stepped down from the arena.

Uchiha Setsuna's face darkened, but a sinister grin curled across his lips as he stared at the two on the stage.

At that moment, everyone in the venue turned their eyes toward Uchiha Gōka and Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Fugaku's expression toward Uchiha Gōka grew more serious and cautious.

After all, Uchiha Setsuna had just praised him so highly. Uchiha Gōka was very likely a terrifyingly powerful opponent.

With a whoosh!

Uchiha Fugaku charged at Uchiha Gōka, throwing a fierce punch at his cheek.

He wanted to test him first with taijutsu.

After awakening the Nine-Tomoe Mangekyo Sharingan, Uchiha Gōka's abilities in every aspect had undergone a qualitative leap.

Just as the vicious fist was about to touch Uchiha Gōka's cheek,

a flash of delight crossed Uchiha Fugaku's eyes. He can't dodge this!

Uchiha Gōka remained calm. At the very instant the fist was about to strike his cheek, he effortlessly dodged aside.

After evading Uchiha Fugaku's fist, Uchiha Gōka immediately used Black Tiger Steals the Heart.

Smack!

His fist drove into Uchiha Fugaku's abdomen.

It was a heavy blow.

Having taken the powerful hit, Uchiha Fugaku clutched his stomach and dropped to one knee.

The battle between the two had been decided in an instant.

A chaotic uproar immediately broke out among the onlookers.

Uchiha Setsuna, who had been standing beside the training ground with a gloating look on his face, instantly turned solemn. "Karmic Fire... this guy knocked Uchiha Fugaku down with a single move."

"How could he be this strong?!"

Even Uchiha Setsuna was deeply shocked.

In Uchiha Setsuna's eyes, Karmic Fire's strength should have been evenly matched with Fugaku's.

But Uchiha Setsuna had never expected Uchiha Gōka to be this formidable.

At a conspicuous spot beside the training ground,

Danzo Shimura was so shocked that his eyes nearly popped out. "How... how is that possible?"

"According to my intelligence, Uchiha Gōka is merely a chef who runs a snack shop."

Koharu Utatane said, "Uchiha Gōka deceived Konoha's intelligence division. What a terrifying Uchiha brat."

Homura Mitokado said, "Could that punch just now have been a coincidence?"

"Did Uchiha Gōka accidentally happen to hit Uchiha Fugaku?"

The Third Hokage watched the arena with a grave expression. "No!"

"That punch was far from simple."

"His true strength cannot be judged from that punch alone."

"But at the very least, he is stronger than Uchiha Fugaku."

Outside the training ground, noise and shouts rang out everywhere.

Mikoto Uchiha covered her mouth. "Ah! He defeated Fugaku with just one punch!"

"Karmic Fire is really strong."

Uchiha Yashiro said, "This guy called Karmic Fire is ridiculously powerful."

Uchiha Inabi said, "Uchiha Fugaku is the captain of the Konoha Police Force. His strength is beyond doubt—he is absolutely an elite jonin."

"How could this guy called Karmic Fire make Fugaku unable to stand with a single punch?"

Uchiha Tekka said, "It seems that aside from Setsuna, our entire Uchiha Clan underestimated Karmic Fire. All this time, we only regarded him as an ordinary chef."

Uchiha Yakumi said, "It seems Uchiha Setsuna was not boasting. Uchiha Gōka truly is a genius hidden within the Uchiha Clan."

On the other side outside the training ground,

Yūhi Shinku frowned. "We often visit Yehuo Snack Shop. How did we never discover that Uchiha Gōka possessed such formidable strength?"

Hatake Sakumo took a deep breath. "We underestimated Uchiha Gōka too much."

"I think Uchiha Gōka may have surpassed us long ago. That is why he was able to conceal himself so easily from everyone."

A trace of gravity flashed through Orochimaru's eyes. "This guy is truly strong!"

"That move just now was impossible to read."

Jiraiya burst into tears. "What?! It's true that Uchiha Gōka is Tsunade's fiancé?!"

Orochimaru, standing beside Jiraiya, twisted the knife. "Uchiha Gōka is so strong. I'd say you do not stand a chance at all."

Senju Chengshui stared intently at Uchiha Gōka. "So this guy is not an ordinary civilian."

"No wonder Tsunade took a liking to him."

"But it seems the Senju Clan has never intermarried with the Uchiha Clan."

Hyūga Hizashi said, "It seems the outcome of this match has been decided."

"I just never expected that even Uchiha Fugaku could not force out Uchiha Gōka's true strength."

"Just what level has his true strength reached?"

Hyūga Hiashi said, "Uchiha Gōka truly is a terrifying figure."

Outside the arena, Great Elder Uchiha Hōka's eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Great Elder Uchiha Hōka would never have believed that a civilian ninja of the Uchiha Clan could defeat Uchiha Fugaku in a single move.

Seeing Great Elder Uchiha Hōka staring blankly at the arena, foolishly rooted to the spot,

Uchiha Setsuna, wearing a smug and crafty expression, walked over and raised his brows at the Great Elder.

"Hey!"

"Why are you still standing here like an idiot?"

"The winner has been decided."

"It is time for you to get up there and announce the result!"

Only then did Great Elder Uchiha Hōka come to his senses and accept the reality that Uchiha Fugaku had been defeated.

Thus, Great Elder Uchiha Hōka stepped onto the arena and loudly announced to the sea of spectators around him:

"Uchiha Gōka has defeated Uchiha Fugaku!"

"Is there anyone else who wishes to come up and challenge Uchiha Gōka?"

"Is there anyone else who wishes to come up and challenge Uchiha Gōka?"

"Is there anyone else who wishes to come up and challenge Uchiha Gōka?"

The Great Elder shouted the question three times to the surrounding Uchiha clansmen.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him:

"I refuse to accept this!"
