Wild chakra raged constantly outward, centered on Uchiha Kazama.
The already dilapidated Hokage Building completely vanished beneath this bombardment.
Uchiha Fugaku hung his mouth open, unable to utter a single word.
The other Uchiha ninjas looked at the scene before them with a certain fervor, feeling the chakra within their bodies boil even more intensely.
They launched fierce attacks once again against the surrounding ANBU and Root members.
Uchiha Itachi furrowed his brow tightly.
He knew that even he could not withstand such an attack.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Itachi knew that if Uchiha Kazama could not be slain, this coup would not end.
Moreover, a madman like Uchiha Kazama would never let anything become a shackle upon him.
With that thought, Uchiha Itachi instantly rushed toward Uchiha Kazama's direction.
Rushing into the dust and mist, a Semi-Complete Body Susanoo rose up, and the Totsuka Blade in its hand directly struck toward Uchiha Kazama.
"Hundred Revolutions: Wheel Explosion!"
At this moment, Fugaku made his move as well.
Before the Totsuka Blade in Itachi's hand, a flame appeared out of thin air.
Immediately after, a power that carried the might to devour everything manifested upon the flame.
It directly distorted the surrounding space, and directly sucked Itachi's attack into it.
The next moment, the space where the flame leaped landed upon Itachi's Susanoo.
"Boom!"
The violent explosion directly overwhelmed Itachi's Susanoo.
The next moment, the armor on the Susanoo was blasted to pieces.
Itachi and Fugaku both had fresh blood streaming from their eyes.
Itachi looked toward Fugaku's direction in some puzzlement.
Why did this father, who had always regarded him as his pride, choose this exact moment to block him at all costs?
That dōjutsu just now was a Mangekyō Sharingan dōjutsu.
Just like how his Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi consumed a massive amount of pupillary power when activated.
The reason Fugaku had always hidden his Mangekyō Sharingan was not only to alleviate the high-ranking officials' wariness toward the Uchiha.
It was also because during the battle with Kirigakure, Fugaku had used his Mangekyō dōjutsu to slaughter dozens of Kirigakure elite jōnin.
The strain on both eyes was enormous.
Hiding the Mangekyō was also meant to nurse his own eyes.
Yet now, he had used the maximum degree of pupillary power upon him.
Such a scene made it very hard for Itachi to accept.
"Itachi, if you still acknowledge that you are a member of the Uchiha Clan, seal your chakra immediately and await the clan's judgment."
"If you are going to continue!"
"Then either I kill you, or you kill me, your father, first, and then go follow your so-called Will of Fire!"
After Fugaku finished speaking, his Susanoo changed rapidly.
It directly transformed into a Complete Body, wielded a bow blade, and charged straight at Itachi.
What Uchiha Kazama was about to do next was something he had to let him do.
The Uchiha of the present already had no path of return.
Even those in the Conservative Faction knew that if their operation failed tonight, what awaited them was death!
Was Itachi truly so foolish?!
Could he still hold expectations for such a thing?!
"Father, the path you have all stepped onto now is a wrong one!"
"If you are willing to join me now in subduing this madman Uchiha Kazama, we still have a chance!"
"Did you not see?"
"Because of a coup like this, how many clansmen have already sacrificed their lives?!"
"Do you truly wish for our Uchiha to eventually become an existence spurned by the village?!"
Itachi grew somewhat angry.
If his Totsuka Blade had landed on Uchiha Kazama just now, he was confident he could seal Uchiha Kazama.
By then, all matters would still have room for easing.
Fugaku no longer replied to Itachi, but instead engaged him in direct combat.
Because at this time, Uchiha Fugaku had already become completely disappointed.
Meanwhile, all the ninja clans were paying attention to the situation here.
"Shikaku, do we really not need to go help?"
"If Uchiha Kazama fails in the end, the Hokage will definitely give us trouble."
Inoichi Yamanaka spoke with some unease.
Such a change was simply too catch-off-guard.
In just a single night, Konoha, which had still seemed relatively peaceful on the surface, suddenly turned into such a dire and fiery situation.
Even a clan patriarch like him was extremely worried.
Let alone other ordinary ninjas.
Indeed, there were quite a few ninjas who rushed into the battlefield harboring the Will of Fire, but they were basically wiped out by the Uchiha ninjas in a very short time.
Right now throughout the entire Uchiha, it was not just Uchiha Kazama who was in a state of madness; even those clan members had grown crazy along with him.
It simply could not be reined in anymore.
If their ninja clans still did not make a move at this time, and the Uchiha failed when the time came... the outcome would not be very good.
"Don't worry, no matter which side wins, we won't be overly implicated."
Shikaku Nara slowly spoke.
If the Uchiha won, they would need the ninja clans to help them firmly establish a foothold in Konoha.
If the forces on the Hokage's side won, then Hiruzen Sarutobi would need them even more.
After all, the ANBU suffered heavy losses, and the high-ranking families basically had no one left.
Without the help of the ninja clans, Hiruzen Sarutobi would not be able to suppress Danzo.
He sorted all of this out and told it to Inoichi Yamanaka.
However, Inoichi Yamanaka was still somewhat worried.
"Alright, eat something."
"Since we've already withdrawn from the battle, there's no need to worry about those things."
Choza Akimichi was, on the contrary, the most steady one.
In fact, Choza Akimichi had long been dissatisfied with Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Just as the Aburame Clan and the Inuzuka Clan left without hesitation, they felt dissatisfaction toward Hiruzen Sarutobi-the man who hid behind the scenes and let the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, die in the previous Nine-Tails' Kyūbi Incident.
They had been dissatisfied for a long time.
Now, how could they possibly go and truly help?
Inside the Hyuga Clan.
"Patriarch, are we still not going to make a move?!"
"What if the Uchiha win, will they suppress us then?!"
"After all, we are Konoha's premier clan!"
A Main Family elder spoke with some worry.
"Go help?"
"No, we only need to preserve our strength, and then no matter who wins, they will need to win us over."
Hyuga Hiashi wore a calm and steady expression.
Hiruzen Sarutobi originally thought he had marginalized the Hyuga Clan, but he probably never expected such a situation to arise, right?
If they hadn't backed the Uchiha Clan into a corner, how could such a situation have possibly occurred.
This was entirely bringing it upon oneself!
He certainly wasn't foolish enough to use his clansmen's lives to help Hiruzen Sarutobi...
