You Know the Flying Thunder God Technique Too?

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

The sudden barrage of kunai interrupted Uchiha Kyu's conversation.

"Clan Head."

Uchiha Okamoto stepped in front of Uchiha Kyu and cleanly knocked away the incoming hidden weapons.

Leveraging the innate advantage granted by their Sharingan, Huo Uchiha and the others easily dodged the attacks with several swift movements.

Uchiha Kyu discreetly examined the kunai on the ground, his gaze lowering slightly as it turned cold.

In this world, anyone who still knew the details of Minato Namikaze's abilities was either dead or among Konoha's upper ranks.

The prerequisite for Minato Namikaze to activate the Flying Thunder God Technique was to use a Flying Thunder God Mark to deliver a fatal strike to his enemy.

He would instantly appear before an enemy and, before they could react, use an explosive ninjutsu like the Rasengan to deal a killing blow.

That was why Minato Namikaze was known as the Yellow Flash.

"Wind Release: Great Wind."

Uchiha Kyu formed seals with one hand and exhaled a violent gust, sweeping the kunai on the ground far away.

Minato Namikaze, who had been preparing to act, immediately frowned. By all logic, the other side should not have known the characteristics of his Flying Thunder God Technique.

"I will never allow anyone to destroy the village's peace."

Three kunai flew out one after another. Accompanied by a yellow flash, Minato Namikaze appeared before Uchiha Kyu in the blink of an eye, a rapidly spinning wind-nature sphere of tremendous destructive power forming in his hand.

"Light Wheel Freezing Initiating Whirlwind Jiraiya Twin Style Rasengan."

"Before these eyes, your attack has already been seen through."

Facing Minato Namikaze's sudden attack, Uchiha Kyu gave him an eerie smile. With a lift of his hand, a kunai engraved with a Flying Thunder God Mark appeared.

"This is?"

Minato Namikaze was more familiar with the Flying Thunder God Technique than anyone. His eyes went blank for an instant before he turned into a yellow flash and teleported to safety.

"What happened?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, unaware of the situation, were startled to see Minato suddenly attack and then abruptly retreat.

"You actually learned the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Minato Namikaze's sunny smile gradually vanished, replaced by an expression of utter solemnity.

He knew full well how greatly he would be weakened if his opponent had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. The combination of Flying Thunder God and Rasengan was his signature attack method.

"Fourth Hokage, that move of yours won't work on me."

Uchiha Kyu looked at Minato with a playful expression, then slowly shifted his gaze toward Hiruzen Sarutobi. His voice was as cold as a deep pool. "Third Hokage, the Uchiha Clan is not something you can manipulate at will."

"What do you mean by that?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face darkened.

Thinking that the other side still had more cards up his sleeve, he could not help becoming wary. The fact that Uchiha Kyu knew the Flying Thunder God Technique had already caught him completely off guard.

"You'll find out soon enough."

"After tonight, the Uchiha Clan will fully exercise every authority of the Hidden Leaf Police Force."

Uchiha Kyu arrogantly spread his arms and closed his eyes, as though all of Konoha were already under his control.

Unfortunately, the Uchiha Clan was not strong enough yet.

Only when they became powerful enough to make the entire Shinobi World—even the whole world—shut their mouths obediently...

...would the Uchiha Clan be truly strong.

The strength of one person alone was nowhere near enough.

There were too many examples. Madara Uchiha was one close at hand, and Hagoromo Otsutsuki one from long ago.

Which of those two had not been individually powerful?

If Uchiha Kyu had not appeared, the Uchiha Clan would have been exterminated.

Even Ninshu, whose influence had once spread across the entire world, had vanished without a trace. Not even a fragment of it had been passed down to the present day.

"Arrogant." Danzo's face flushed red with rage as he clenched his fists.

"What your Uchiha Clan has done tonight is a capital crime. After tonight, there will be no more Uchiha."

Fugaku Uchiha, standing nearby, was terrified. Full of expectation, he looked toward the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage.

Placing his hopes in others was Fugaku Uchiha's greatest failure.

"It seems I have to deal with you first."

Minato Namikaze knew that if the true culprit was not dealt with, he would not be able to save the Uchiha Clan either.

He took out a mysterious scroll and quickly spread it across the ground, his hands forming complex seals.

Do not think Minato Namikaze only knew Flying Thunder God and Rasengan. His wife was from the Uzumaki Clan, and he had personally received Mito Uzumaki's guidance.

"Clan Head, should we kill our way out?"

Uchiha Ying slowly drew his weapon, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan in his eyes already itching for a fight.

"They'll retreat on their own."

Uchiha Kyu gave a mysterious smile. This place was somewhat far from the residential area, and it would take some time to search from there to here.

If he had not left a mark behind, Uchiha Ying could not have arrived so quickly.

Just as Minato Namikaze was about to use the Sealing Jutsu he had prepared, he was interrupted by a group of people who suddenly arrived.

"Clan Head, this is bad! It's all over!"

"Clan Head, something happened at home!"

The elders of every clan, usually so imposing, came running from the distance at the same time.

Their wails of grief made Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others frown tightly, a sense of foreboding curling around their hearts.

"Clan Head, several powerful shinobi appeared from nowhere and secretly infiltrated our clan, slaughtering everyone. By the time we reacted and gathered our forces to fight back, the younger generation in the clan was almost completely dead."

Saruobi Sao knelt before Hiruzen Sarutobi, crying out in grief and fury.

"What did you say?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's body trembled. It felt as though his mind had been struck by a hammer, and he immediately grew dizzy.

It was not only Saruobi Sao. Others had also gone to their respective clan heads, weeping about the tragedies that had occurred at home.

"A ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

Shikaku Nara and the others' expressions changed drastically as they stared at Uchiha Kyu with hatred. They had not expected him to be so ruthless.

"Hahaha..."

"After leading you around in such a huge circle, what did you think I was waiting for?"

The misery and anguish of these people directly delighted Uchiha Kyu, and his laughter was especially grating.

"Damn it! I'll kill you!"

"Damn Uchiha Clan! I will make you pay!"

"Let's attack together! We must make the Uchiha repay blood with blood!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was as cold as winter. Overflowing with killing intent, he formed seals. "This old man will absolutely not let you leave today."

Under his leadership, the Sarutobi Clan had grown stronger by the day. Its younger generation alone outnumbered those of Konoha's other clans several times over. There had been more than a hundred young clan members, and now they were gone just like that.

The pain was like a knife through his heart. The clan's younger generation had been cut off, and for the next ten years, there would be no successors.

"Summoning Jutsu! Bang!"

"What trouble have you run into this time?"

Enma asked as soon as he appeared.

"Transform into the Adamantine Staff."

"Yes."

Hiruzen Sarutobi had no time to explain. Enma saw that the situation was wrong and hurriedly transformed.

"Everyone, attack with me and eliminate Uchiha Kyu."

Gripping the Adamantine Staff, Hiruzen Sarutobi issued the order in a stern voice.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

Kunai engraved with Flying Thunder God Marks were thrown at the feet of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.

"Let's see who dares to make a move."

"Are your ninjutsu faster, or is my Flying Thunder God faster?"
