I Will Never Let Anyone Hurt My Son

Uchiha Kyu strode toward them with the wind at his back, his arrogant, disdainful presence tormenting the people opposite him with every step.

Shikaku Nara and the others were tense, cold sweat beading on their foreheads. They did not even dare to move, afraid that Uchiha Kyu would suddenly attack them.

This was the Flying Thunder God Technique. Shikaku Nara and the others knew all too well how terrifying this technique was.

Once their opponent attacked, Minato Namikaze would not be able to protect all of them.

Minato Namikaze recognized at a glance that this was the technique he usually relied on, but having it used against him made him feel utterly sickened.

"Damn it."

Minato Namikaze gritted his teeth. Even he did not dare to act rashly at this moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was grim to the extreme as he gripped the Adamantine Staff and stood rooted in place.

The Flying Thunder God Technique was a forbidden technique, one he had always guarded strictly. There was no way Uchiha Kyu could have secretly learned it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi never would have imagined that it was Orochimaru, the disciple he trusted most, who had stabbed him in the back.

Fugaku Uchiha stared wide-eyed as Kyu forced the Third Hokage and the others into not daring to act carelessly with each step. Since he had become aware of the world, such a thing had never happened to the Uchiha.

Could it really have been because of him?

Cracks began to form in Fugaku Uchiha's stubborn worldview.

"But I'm waiting for my cooldown. What are you waiting for?"

When Uchiha Kyu saw that they truly did not dare act rashly, a triumphant smile appeared on his face.

Whoosh!!!

Flying Thunder God activated!!!

The speed of spatial teleportation was simply beyond what the naked eye could catch.

"Scatter!"

The instant Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Uchiha Kyu vanish, veins bulged on his forehead in panic.

Minato Namikaze was sweating profusely, two fingers pressed tightly to his brow as he tried to locate traces of Uchiha Kyu in space.

In an instant, Uchiha Kyu, moving through space while continuously consuming chakra, made his move.

A simple kunai silently appeared at Saruobi Sao's neck and flashed past.

"Urgh!!!"

Saruobi Sao had no time to react. He clutched his neck as blood gushed out, his windpipe filling with the surging blood. He could neither breathe nor cry for help.

"One."

Uchiha Kyu's voice echoed beside everyone's ears like an evil whisper, frightening them into hurriedly clearing away the kunai scattered across the ground.

"Don't panic. He can only kill one person each time he attacks. Let's take out the remaining Uchiha ninja first."

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi was usually hesitant and indecisive, the way he gave orders now carried a faint trace of his younger self.

"Sarutobi, this is who you truly are."

Danzo looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a complicated expression, as though he had seen the scene from back then, when Hiruzen Sarutobi had been the first to step forward and cover their retreat.

Thud!

A Nara Clan elder died right in front of his clan head, without so much as a chance to react. A kunai tore open his throat.

"Two."

"Kill!!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi roared in fury.

He swung the Adamantine Staff alone, smashing it heavily toward Huo Uchiha and the others. The staff, which had extended to more than ten meters long, moved effortlessly in his hands.

"Secret Technique: Insect Swarm."

"Secret Technique: Fang Over Fang."

"Ninja Art: Multi-Size Technique."

"Ninja Art: Shadow Binding Technique."

"Secret Technique: Mind-Body Transmission."

The heads of these clans released their chakra without reservation, ensuring they could eliminate Uchiha Kyu's subordinates at the first opportunity and even restrain Uchiha Kyu from continuing to use the Flying Thunder God Technique against them.

Thud!!!

"Fifth."

Within a few breaths, Uchiha Kyu had already taken out the fifth person. Killing these people was easier than slaughtering chickens.

"Run!"

Uchiha Kage shoved Huo Uchiha and the others away, intending to cover their retreat alone. His Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun madly to its limit.

Boom!!!

A skeletal giant forcibly blocked their ninjutsu, even pinning down the enormous Human Boulder Tank with both hands.

"What!"

The sight before them made Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others hastily stop in their tracks and even retreat to a safer distance.

"I will never let you hurt my son."

The Mangekyō Sharingan in Fugaku Uchiha's eyes was filled with obsession and madness.

He was not a good clan head.

Nor was he a good husband.

But...

He was absolutely a good father.

He knew Uchiha Kyu had deliberately refrained from coming to their rescue solely to force him into taking action.

"Father..."

Uchiha Itachi looked in surprise at the towering figure before him.

"I never expected you to have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan as well, Clan Head Fugaku."

Huo Uchiha looked complicatedly at the former clan head who had blocked the attacks for them.

Uchiha Okamoto, Uchiha Kage, and Uchiha Haruto exchanged looks, each seeing the shock in the others' eyes.

They truly had not expected Fugaku Uchiha to have hidden himself so deeply.

"Fugaku Uchiha, do you know what you are doing?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart sank. The situation seemed to have slipped out of control.

Yet the answer Hiruzen Sarutobi received was the Adamantine Staff being caught directly by Susanoo, which flung both him and the staff far away.

"Rasengan."

The Flying Thunder God Mark kunai that had somehow landed by Fugaku Uchiha's feet gave Minato Namikaze an opening.

The Rasengan's terrifying destructive power forcibly tore a spiderweb-like crack into Susanoo.

As Fugaku Uchiha felt the immense power brought by the Mangekyō Sharingan, he was inevitably influenced by that power and became somewhat arrogant.

"This is the ultimate secret art of our Uchiha Clan—Susanoo."

"It is our Uchiha Clan's strongest fusion of offense and defense."

"Fourth Hokage, how about we end this here?"

Fugaku Uchiha did not want to completely offend Konoha. Now that his Mangekyō Sharingan had been exposed, Konoha would certainly become even more wary of the Uchiha.

"Fugaku Uchiha, don't think that just because you saved us, you get to call the shots."

"The current Uchiha is not yours to command."

Uchiha Kage's cold, forceful voice came from behind him.

"Sealing: Imprisonment Lockdown."

Minato Namikaze knew he could not hold back any longer. The sealing scroll that had already been unsealed opened instantly.

The sealing scroll floated in front of Minato Namikaze, and powerful sealing force surged out at once, rushing toward Fugaku Uchiha.

It was already too late for Fugaku Uchiha to evade. Although Sealing Jutsu was not an explosive ninjutsu, at this distance, it was more than enough.

Strands of black sealing power continuously struck Susanoo.

Fugaku Uchiha's expression changed drastically. Susanoo was teetering on the verge of collapse as the Mangekyō Sharingan's ocular power suddenly erupted.

"Amaterasu."

The moment Amaterasu was unleashed, Minato Namikaze did not dare be careless and hurriedly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to flee the spot.

The sealing jutsu scroll left behind was instantly ignited and consumed by Amaterasu's black flames. After several breaths, the black flames gradually died out.

The sealing scroll had been burned so thoroughly that not even ashes remained.

The sealing power restraining Susanoo immediately vanished, and the previously crumbling Susanoo finally stopped collapsing.

Fugaku Uchiha finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Just then, an incomparably massive Adamantine Staff descended from the sky.

Boom!!!

The heavily falling Adamantine Staff was blocked by the armored giant's two hands.
