The Ninja God's Defeat! The Nobles' Worldviews Shattered

The nobles who had just been advocating the purge of the Uchiha lowered their heads, not daring to meet Tsunade's eyes again.

Even the aura leaking from the Fifth Hokage was enough to crush them until they could barely breathe. How terrifying, then, must Uchiha Lumen, who was even stronger than Tsunade, be?
