He explained that the formation and Lightning Release: Ten Thousand Lightning gave the Uchiha a strategic weapon capable of razing Konoha, leaving its leaders terrified.

The chapter ended with Fugaku Uchiha and Uchiha Shisui awakening their Mangekyō Sharingan and manifesting Susanoo before Konoha’s leaders and clan heads.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi demanded that Ren place the Temple Formation under village control, but Ren awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan and overwhelmed the hall with Conqueror’s Haki.
