Hozuki Mangetsu is very confident.
Through Ziyun's explanation, he had come to understand that Hiruzen Sarutobi was an indecisive old man, while the Konoha High Command was a group of geniuses caught in internal strife.
They could wipe out some of Konoha's geniuses, but they wouldn't dare to anger Kumogakure.
"If you don't want to come, you don't have to. I'll just lead the Kumogakure Ninja there."
Seeing the hesitation of the Uchiha Grand Elder, Hozuki Mangetsu spoke, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm.
After all, he was going to rescue Uchiha Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha Clan, but the Uchiha Clan clan members actually chickened out.
It's already a good thing that Hozuki Mangetsu didn't directly mock them.
"Okay, we'll go with you."
"Ninjas, come with us. As for the elderly, children, the sick, the disabled, and ordinary people, go directly to Kumogakure."
The Uchiha Grand Elder made up his mind.
The group then proceeded to Konoha.
"Damn it, the Uchiha Clan clan has moved. In that case, we must at least kill Uchiha Fugaku in Konoha."
When Shimura Danzō led the Root to the Uchiha Clan Compound, he found that the Uchiha Clan clan had all left, leaving only Uchiha Fugaku and a few other Uchiha Clan clan members fighting a bloody battle with Itachi.
At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi also led the Anbu to the scene.
"Kill Uchiha Fugaku."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said coldly, and then the Anbu made their move, followed by the Root.
"Hmph, they've come at the perfect time. Killing one isn't a loss, killing two is a huge bonus."
Uchiha Fugaku, filled with rage, awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan.
He didn't awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan during his battle with Itachi. After all, the other party was his own son; did he really intend to kill him with his own hands?
Similarly, Itachi did not activate the Mangekyō.
But things are different now. Uchiha Fugaku will show no mercy to the Anbu and Root. He directly activated the Mangekyō Sharingan and, incidentally, Susanoo.
His vision blurred slightly, and he felt unwell. Uchiha Fugaku knew these were side effects of the Mangekyō Sharingan, but at the same time, boundless power was surging forth!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Uchiha Fugaku overextended his power, directly activating the Susanoo Fourth Form.
Blood continued to gush from its eyes, but the size of Susanoo also continued to expand. Although the fourth form of Susanoo was not as terrifying as the complete form, its size was still enormous for an ordinary person.
With a single strike, several members of the Anbu were sent flying, their fates unknown.
Other Ninjutsu attacks from the Anbu and Root were also blocked. Even if they broke through Susanoo's defenses, Uchiha Fugaku would quickly repair them.
"Die, Third Hokage!"
Susanoo it, slashed at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a single strike.
Even if I die here, I will do my best to take this bastard with me.
" Uchiha Fugaku has also awakened the Mangekyō. Just how much power has the despicable Uchiha Clan been hiding?"
Chakra, Hiruzen Sarutobi in dust and having expended a great deal of chakra, had finally escaped death.
Upon seeing Susanoo, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face darkened; he hadn't expected Uchiha Fugaku to be so well-hidden.
For so many years, he hadn't revealed his Mangekyō Sharingan. Fortunately, he decided to exterminate the Uchiha Clan.
"Go! He's not Uchiha Mikoto; he doesn't have that kind of powerful eye power. Just wear him down and kill him."
Shimura Danzō to the side, gave the order, secretly lamenting the pity.
If only Uchiha Fugaku had killed Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Even if he didn't die, I must at least accept Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyō Sharingan.
With Shisui's Mangekyō added in, dealing with Sarutobi Hiruzen Sarutobi a piece of cake.
" Danzo, you're asking for death!"
Ignoring the Root and Anbu members attacking him, Uchiha Fugaku charged towards Shimura Danzō.
With a single slash, he nearly took Shimura Danzō away.
However, Danzo received the Hashirama Cells, only coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body mostly stained red with blood, but he did not die.
"Father, please stop."
Before Uchiha Fugaku Susanoo rose up and blocked Danzo.
That was Uchiha Itachi's red Susanoo.
Itachi was genuinely afraid that Danzo would die, which would greatly weaken Konoha's strength and inevitably lead to the Fourth Shinobi World War.
"You unfilial son!"
Uchiha Fugaku was so angry he almost vomited blood. If Itachi hadn't blocked that sword, Danzo definitely be dead.
"Take advantage of this opportunity and attack!"
Taking advantage of the stalemate between Uchiha Itachi and his son Uchiha Fugaku, Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the order.
Subsequently, the Anbu, the Root, and even Hiruzen Sarutobi himself began to bombard Uchiha Fugaku with Ninjutsu.
Under the onslaught of hundreds of elite ninjas, Uchiha Fugaku could no longer hold out, Susanoo Fourth Form was finally broken.
After all, he wasn't in his complete form, and Uchiha Fugaku's eye power wasn't particularly strong, so it was normal that he couldn't hold out for long under siege.
"Huff... huff."
Uchiha Fugaku was panting heavily, blood streaming from his eyes once more.
He glared at Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, and others, including Uchiha Itachi, with hatred in his eyes.
If it weren't for this rebellious son, I could have taken that old dog Danzo with me today.
"Father..."
Seeing Uchiha Fugaku's disheveled state, Uchiha Itachi shed tears.
He knew that Uchiha Fugaku would definitely die here, but it was all for Konoha, and there was no other way.
"Kill him, gouge out his eyes."
Danzo gave the order first, and the Root immediately sprang into action.
" Fire Style: Fire Dragon Technique!"
Fire Style: Searing Migraine!
" Wind Release: Wind Cutter!"
The combined Wind Release and Fire Style Ninjutsu, doubling its power, hurtled towards Uchiha Fugaku.
If the attack had hit, Uchiha Fugaku would almost certainly have died.
" Water Release · Water Formation Wall!"
At the critical moment, Hozuki Mangetsu arrived with his men, blocking the Root's attack and saving Uchiha Fugaku.
"You are Hozuki Mangetsu of Kumogakure!"
Upon recognizing the newcomer, both Shimura Danzō and Hiruzen Sarutobi were taken aback.
Why would one of the Kumogakure Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist appear in Konoha?
Not only that, but soon dozens of Kumogakure ninjas, plus Uchiha Clan Hozuki Mangetsu.
There are several hundred people Jiraiya total.
In fact, no one dared to stop them from entering Konoha, since most of Konoha's fighting force had been mobilized to the Uchiha Clan Compound, and the remaining major clans would not choose to oppose Kumogakure.
Therefore, Hozuki Mangetsu and his group easily entered Konoha without encountering any obstacles.
" Konoha is really disregarding Kumogakure. Uchiha Fugaku has already agreed to join Kumogakure. If he dies, Lord Raikage comes to punish him, I wonder if Konoha can withstand the Lord Raikage's wrath?"
Hozuki Mangetsu looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō with undiminished force.
In terms of actual strength, he was no match for Hiruzen Sarutobi, but with the Fourth Raikage Yeyue Ziyun and the Kumogakure behind him, Hozuki Mangetsu had no reason to fear Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He believed that Hiruzen Sarutobi would not fight him.
" Uchiha Fugaku actually agreed to join Kumogakure?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback again. The secret execution of the Uchiha Clan was something no outsider could possibly know.
There's only one possibility: Uchiha Fugaku had been contacting Kumogakure for a long time.
That despicable Uchiha Clan, they actually had this trick up their sleeve.
"Hmph, what does the Kumogakure mean by this? Bringing people to my Konoha Village to rescue people, you really don't take Konoha seriously at all."
Shimura Danzō coldly, his eyes practically spitting fire.
The Kumogakure is far too arrogant. They entered the Konoha without warning, and with so many people, clearly showing they don't take the Hidden Konoha seriously at all.
Danzo felt insulted.
Now that the Impure World Reincarnation is complete, Konoha has its biggest trump card and no longer needs to fear Kumogakure, so Danzo directly retorted.
Danzo! How dare you be rude!
Just then, Hiruzen Sarutobi glared at Danzo.
Although the Impure World Reincarnation research was successful, according to Jiraiya, it would still take considerable effort to restore Impure World Reincarnation Hashirama Senju to his former strength upon resurrection.
effort.
There's still some time left; there's no need to provoke the Kumogakure.
After all, with the Fourth Raikage's strength, destroying Konoha would be a piece of cake. If we anger him now, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?
