"Hiruzen Sarutobi!!!"
Kushina was furious.
Her blood-red hair rose and fluttered, her murderous intent toward Sarutobi Hiruzen reaching its peak!
Minato wore a look of disbelief.
"No... that's impossible... the Third promised me..."
"Minato Namikaze!!"
Kushina flew into a rage. Compared to Minato's hesitation and disbelief, Kushina was far angrier.
Having lived in Konoha as a Jinchūriki for so many years, how could Kushina not know about its darkness?
She had no doubt that Hiruzen Sarutobi was capable of such a thing.
Back then, she had even had Mito Uzumaki and Tsunade protecting her.
But what about Naruto?
"You're still defending that Hiruzen Sarutobi when our son has already been reduced to his tool!!!"
Faced with Kushina's tirade, Minato did not dare say a word.
But deep down, he had already believed Feng Yao's account.
With Feng Yao's current strength, he would not stoop to deceiving them.
Minato had also dealt with the village's power structure. How could he not know about its darkness?
In truth, Minato was already disappointed in the Third.
He began to regret it. Why had he left everything behind back then, leaving Naruto all alone...?
"Lord Minato, Lady Kushina, I can promise you that I won't hurt Naruto."
Minato thought for a long time before finally compromising.
He knew that even if he and Kushina wanted to stop Feng Yao, they could not defeat him.
"I hope you're telling the truth..."
"Uchiha Fengyao, if I find out you've hurt Naruto, I'll never let you get away with it..."
In the end, the two turned into chakra and dissipated.
Danzo's expression was utterly dark.
Not one of the Root members he had just sent to scout had returned.
Even a fool would know what had happened.
"The inherently evil Uchiha. Not a single one of them can be trusted!"
"What's the situation with the Anbu?"
Danzo looked at the subordinate beside him, his eyes gloomy.
"Lord Danzo, it's the same with the Anbu as with Root. Not one of those who entered the Uchiha Clan Compound has returned."
"Hmph, Hiruzen, I told you long ago that the Uchiha couldn't be trusted."
"Notify everyone and the Anbu. Tonight, we storm the Uchiha!"
"Yes!"
The man turned into thousands upon thousands of flying insects and departed.
Only Danzo remained, constantly stroking his bandage-wrapped arm as he looked coldly toward the Uchiha.
"The Uchiha and the Sharingan can only be controlled by me, Danzo!"
At the Hokage building.
"Lord Hokage, terrible news! Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, is missing!"
"What?!"
"What the hell are you Anbu doing?!"
"You can't even keep watch over a child!"
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura both stood up and angrily berated the newcomer.
Their eyes were filled with terror, the Nine-Tails' Rampage from several years ago seemingly still vivid before them.
Both could not help looking toward the Third Hokage.
"Hiruzen..."
The Third's eyes were grave. At such a critical moment...
"This is bad!"
"Naruto has been controlled by the Uchiha. Hurry and gather all the clans and ninja. Tell them the Uchiha are rebelling!"
"Have them lead their ninja here to provide support!"
The Third immediately changed into his Gray Armor and headed to the Uchiha Clan Compound with all the Anbu.
At the Uchiha Clan Compound.
At that moment, the situation was extremely tense.
Fugaku and Setsuna were leading a large number of Uchiha ninja in a standoff against Danzo's Root and a small contingent of Anbu.
The Uchiha ninja were few, while Danzo's Root and the Anbu were far more numerous.
"Fugaku, Setsuna!"
"What do you Uchiha think you're doing, killing Root and Anbu members without authorization?!"
"Are you trying to betray the village?!"
Danzo's gaze was especially dark, particularly when he looked at Fugaku's eyes.
They were not three-tomoe eyes, but a special form.
The first thought that flashed through Danzo's mind was not fear, but greed and envy.
Counting the already deceased Shisui, three Uchiha of this generation had possessed the Mangekyo!
Why should only the Uchiha possess such power?!
"Shimura Danzō, spare me your hypocrisy!"
"You know better than anyone why we Uchiha have ended up like this!"
"And now you have the nerve to slander us!"
Uchiha Setsuna pointed right at Danzo's nose, so furious that even his three tomoe glowed red.
"Hmph, Setsuna, I never thought an old bastard like you would still be alive!"
"I should have urged our teacher to kill you back then!"
"As for slander, you killed Root and Anbu members, yet you still dare argue!"
"Hand over the people who killed the Root and Anbu members, and I'll spare the Uchiha Clan tonight!"
"Hahahaha!"
A voice rang out.
"Who's there?!"
The Root and Anbu members immediately went on alert.
Beside Fugaku and Uchiha Setsuna, space distorted, and Feng Yao appeared with Naruto, who was under the Mangekyo's control.
The instant he saw Naruto, Danzo's gaze sharpened.
"Clan Head!"
"Clan Head!"
"Clan Head..."
Hearing those Uchiha address the newly arrived man as their Clan Head, Danzo's expression darkened.
Fugaku was no longer the Clan Head!
And this man possessed Space-Time Ninjutsu!
"Lord Danzo, this man is Uchiha Fengyao. Rumor has it that his talent is only slightly below Shisui Uchiha's and Uchiha Itachi's!"
"He's also a genius from the Uchiha's radical faction!"
The subordinate beside Danzo explained.
"Uchiha Fengyao, what are you planning by abducting the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?! Will you unleash another Nine-Tails' Rampage and destroy the village?!"
Hmph, the inherently evil Uchiha, just as expected!
Fine, this will let me wipe out the Uchiha openly!
At the thought of the Mangekyō Sharingan within his grasp, Danzo's eyes burned with desire.
The atmosphere instantly grew tense!
Looking at Danzo's greedy face, Feng Yao could only find it laughable.
To think an arrogant fool so immersed in schemes could drive the Uchiha to this point.
"Heh... hahahahahaha!"
"Danzo, I don't know whether to call you ignorant or stupid!"
Danzo's already dark expression grew even darker.
"It seems you Uchiha refuse to see reason!"
"Root and Anbu, heed my orders! The Uchiha have colluded with another village and abducted the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in an attempt to destroy Konoha. Attack!"
The Uchiha showed no fear either and immediately charged to meet them!
Kunai in hand, Danzo rapidly closed in on Naruto under the cover of several Root members.
Danzo's heart burned with eagerness.
As long as I use Kotoamatsukami to control the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...
With the credit for wiping out the Uchiha as well, the position of Hokage will be within my grasp!
"Roar!"
Naruto instantly underwent Tailed Beast Transformation!
One, two, three... five tails!
Under Feng Yao's control, the transformed Naruto slaughtered Root members like a madman.
Danzo's face changed in shock, and countless Root members desperately protected him.
Taking advantage of the time they bought him, Danzo immediately fled.
Feng Yao sneered. How naive.
"Kill!"
A Root member attacked from behind, his long blade striking the gray-white chakra skeleton.
Then a skeletal hand reached out and instantly crushed him to death like an ant.
Under his subordinates' cover, Danzo escaped the transformed Naruto.
His pupil contracted as he looked at the golden chakra skeleton!
That was Susanoo. He had only ever seen it on Shisui.
That meant this Feng Yao also possessed the Mangekyo!
The greed and envy in his heart overcame his fear.
Fugaku had spent years as a Jonin, and Danzo feared he could not take him down quickly.
But Feng Yao? He was only a teenage brat!
Kunai in hand, Danzo lunged at Feng Yao with lightning speed!
"Clink..."
Upon touching the golden chakra skeleton, the kunai snapped without the slightest chance of holding up!
"How is that possible?!"
Danzo's lone eye contracted. It was actually this hard!
