Outbreak

A Susanoo, fully five meters tall and like a small giant, stood silently on Fugaku, enveloping his entire body.

Where the Two-Tails was concerned, Fugaku outputted his eye power without holding back, extending the Susanoo to the second stage on his first use.

"Roar!"

Yugito had lost her mind under the influence of the Tailed Beast Chakra, roaring like a wild beast, struggling constantly under the control of the Susanoo.

Behind her, two tails swung incessantly, and even in this half-Tailed Beast state, Fugaku found it extremely difficult to control her.

"Is this the Mangekyo of the Uchiha Clan?"

Kakashi muttered to himself as he watched the small giant, wondering if his Sharingan could also grow.

"Kakashi!"

Danzo glanced at Kakashi, who was still stunned by Fugaku's Susanoo, and roared with a frown, "This is hardly the time for admiration! Hurry up and cooperate with me to seal the Tailed Beast!"

As he spoke, Danzo formed hand seals.

At this point, he couldn't afford to worry about exposing his slow hand seal speed, laboriously arranging the memories in his mind with his hands. With the flow of Chakra, Danzo pressed a palm on Yugito's head.

The black Cursed Seal spread out from the center of Danzo's hand, gradually covering Yugito's entire body.

Yugito's violent movements froze in an instant. The Tailed Beast Chakra covering her body surface began to recede towards her abdomen at a visible rate.

Once all the Chakra had receded, Kakashi pressed his hand seals on Yugito's abdomen, completely sealing the Two-Tails Matatabi within Yugito's body.

The limp Yugito fell into a coma.

Unless a ninja specializing in sealing techniques undid the seal, with these two seals in place, Yugito would not be able to borrow any Chakra from the Tailed Beast, and even her own Chakra would disappear.

"Fugaku, pick her up. We're going to strike back at the Cloud Ninja!" Danzo's eyes flashed with a cold light. He had sacrificed so many subordinates for the sake of safely sealing the Two-Tails.

Now that his goal had been achieved, it was time to strike back.

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar echoed through the sky.

A bolt of black lightning descended from the sky, crashing down at the point where the Cloud Ninja and Konoha were fighting.

Immediately following were various roars, cheers, and earth-shattering sounds.

"It seems our people have arrived as well."

With such a commotion, the main force that had withdrawn from Si Ming Mountain must have arrived.

Danzo pulled the long sword from Yugito's body, flicked it lightly to splatter the blood on the ground, and said to the two, "I'll go command first. Catch up quickly."

After speaking, his figure turned into a black shadow, flashing quickly through the trees and heading towards the battlefield.

"Where did Lord Danzo go?"

"Lord Danzo didn't run away again, did he?"

"Impossible!"

On the battlefield between the Cloud Ninja and Konoha, the Konoha ninjas were clearly inferior to the Cloud Ninja in terms of morale, due to the absence of the Two-Tails and Danzo.

But they had the advantage in numbers.

As a steady stream of Konoha ninjas arrived from all directions, the battlefield was clearly dominated by Konoha's numbers.

Darui's eyes flashed with intense killing intent. He had been entangled for quite some time and didn't know how Yugito was doing.

This can't go on!

Darui clenched his fists and began forming hand seals. Black electric sparks flickered all over his body, and dark clouds gathered in the sky, seemingly accumulating lightning due to Darui's influence.

The surrounding Konoha ninjas noticed the changes in him and prepared to retreat, but it was too late.

"Get out of my way!"

With Darui's roar, a thunderclap boomed, and bolts of black lightning as thick as bowls descended from the sky, slamming into the Konoha ninjas surrounding him.

In an instant, only charred corpses remained on the ground.

The entire battlefield fell silent for a moment, everyone staring in stunned silence at Darui in the center of the battlefield, panting heavily.

A ninjutsu that could influence the weather was definitely a forbidden technique of the Cloud Village.

This Lightning Inducement, a forbidden technique that enhanced the power of one's own ninjutsu, was a secret technique of the Yotsuki Clan, but since the Yotsuki Clan had served as Raikage for generations, this Lightning Inducement forbidden technique had been classified as a forbidden technique of the Cloud Ninja.

"Cloud Ninja, follow me and attack!"

Samui coordinated with Darui at the first moment, mobilizing the fighting spirit in the hearts of all Cloud Ninja, roaring and wielding her long sword, slashing through the battlefield and reaping lives.

Accompanied by the shouts rising and falling, the Cloud Ninja were like they had been injected with chicken blood, each one fearlessly wanting to rush to the front of the team.

On the other hand, the morale on the Konoha side was low. Danzo was not here, nor was Uchiha Fugaku. The one in charge of the overall situation here was Yume Ryoma.

But as a Root ninja, he had always acted in the shadows. If he were to carry out assassinations, deliver messages, or act as a spy, he would definitely be a first-class expert.

But now that he had taken off his mask and lived in the sunlight, he simply didn't know how to boost morale in the open.

"Cloud Village scum! Remember this old man's name! I am Mito Hiroichi!"

But at this moment, a hurried voice rang out, Konoha Jonin Mito Hiroichi.

The head of the Mito Clan, and also Mito Homura's nephew.

Although he had behaved extremely poorly in the Konoha camp before, Mito Hiroichi stepped forward at this time, leading his team to charge towards the Cloud Ninja.

With someone taking the lead, the heads of the other clans responded one after another, and the stagnant atmosphere on the Konoha side improved somewhat.

Ryoma glanced at Mito Hiroichi gratefully. Although he had previously been somewhat disdainful of the people brought by Mito Homura, he now had a much better impression of them.

Leading the remaining Root to charge towards the Cloud Ninja, Ryoma had originally been focused on delaying time for Danzo, but the current situation was no longer a matter of delaying time.

If they didn't attack and start the battle, the morale on the Konoha side would plummet to a low point.

The two teams clashed, and every bit of carelessness in the battle between ninjas could lead to death.

Panting heavily, Darui quietly watched the two teams clash and fight. In this kind of melee, large-scale ninjutsu could no longer be used.

What was being tested now was the ninjas' taijutsu and combat experience.

Although the ninjutsu he had just used was powerful and imposing, it also consumed a huge amount of Chakra. But now was not the time to rest.

He glanced at Samui fighting on the battlefield, just in time to meet her gaze.

Their eyes met, and Samui understood, leading her small team to slowly move towards Darui's position.

"Quickly find Yugito; she chased after a Konoha Jonin and hasn't returned yet. I have a bad feeling about this," Darui said quickly.

"Yes," Samui replied without hesitation, leading her team as if to withdraw from the battle.
