"Itachi, there won't be another storm, will there?" Fugaku asked meaningfully, his dark, empty eye sockets facing the distance.
Amenotokotachi's reset time had already passed, and Obito had done nothing more outrageous... Had Sasuke succeeded?
"For now, things should stay calm," Itachi answered cryptically.
For now... Fugaku lowered his head, pondering the meaning behind Itachi's words. Suddenly, a black opening slid apart in the space above him!
The Uchiha cried out in alarm!
"Something's coming out!!"
"Damn it, is Itachi launching a surprise attack?!!!"
"Captain Fugaku, watch out!!"
A boy in white floated gracefully out of the black opening and landed beside Fugaku, draping an elegant arm over his shoulder!
"Protect the captain!!!"
Every member of the Konoha Military Police Force present sprang into action!!
"Hmph." A faint smile curved the boy's lips. "Ultimate Chidori Stream."
Crackle...!! Without a single hand seal, guided by thought alone, lightning release chakra poured from every chakra point in his body, forming tens of thousands of Chidori Stream arcs in the air within fifty meters of him!
"Aaaaargh...!!" Every member of the Konoha Military Police Force froze in place. Once the arcs vanished, they either toppled stiffly to the ground or fell out of the air.
"Damn it, my body's paralyzed! I can't move!"
"It's more than that! We can't even use chakra! What kind of fine chakra control is this? He actually used Lightning Release to reproduce the Hyuga's Pressure Point Strike!"
"If he hadn't deliberately spared us and controlled the strength of his Lightning Release, our entire chakra networks would probably have been destroyed! Even if we survived, we'd be crippled!"
"Who are you?!!! Just who the hell are you?!!!!"
"Don't move." Ignoring the cries all around him, the boy in white simply raised his left hand and gently covered Fugaku's eyes.
