Intense hatred stirred powerful emotions in Mikoto's mind.
As Chakra continued to stimulate the nerves in her retinas, the two Tomoe in her crimson eyes transformed into three!
"Mitsudomoe! Mikoto, your Sharingan has become Mitsudomoe!"
Noticing the change in Mikoto, Ziyun spoke in delighted surprise.
In fact, Ziyun already regarded Mikoto as a member of the Hidden Cloud Village.
Her becoming stronger was the same as the Hidden Cloud Village becoming stronger.
The Mitsudomoe was also essentially the pinnacle for members of the Uchiha Clan who had not awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
In fact, Uchiha Mikoto's talent in the original story had simply gone undiscovered.
A woman who could give birth to the reincarnation of Indra's Chakra had no talent? Who would believe that?
But in this life, Ziyun's transmigration had changed the story, and Mikoto's talent had been fully awakened.
"Mm..." Mikoto was a little delighted too.
Meanwhile, after Mikoto revealed her Sharingan, the Konoha Village residents present understood.
Uchiha Mikoto definitely wasn't dead!
Even if a ninja could use the Transformation Technique to take her appearance, they could never display the Sharingan unique to the Uchiha Clan.
The Uchiha Mikoto before them was undoubtedly the real one.
"Uchiha Mikoto awakened the Mitsudomoe? She's a genius too."
After seeing Mikoto's Mitsudomoe, the Uchiha Clan Head's expression turned grim as well.
He had never imagined that a clan member he had so neglected would awaken the Mitsudomoe at such a young age!
Even now, not many members of the Uchiha Clan had managed to awaken the Mitsudomoe.
The Uchiha Clan had suffered the painful loss of another genius!
Beside him, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face alternated between green and purple.
Things had gone far beyond his expectations and were rapidly spiraling out of control.
Public opinion in particular had turned against them. Quite a few villagers present had already begun to question the Konoha High Command.
"Hmph, Third Hokage, the truth is clear now, isn't it? Your Konoha High Command ordered Uchiha Mikoto's assassination and tried to pin it on the Hidden Cloud Village. Konoha owes us an explanation for this!"
At the same time, the Third Raikage applied pressure at just the right moment, his aura growing a little more imposing.
"Third Raikage, this matter is too suspicious. There must be a traitor in Konoha Village. Someone falsely conveyed orders from the High Command to frame our ninja. I will absolutely get to the bottom of this!"
At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi also felt he could no longer follow the original plan.
That was right, he had gotten a little scared.
After all, so many villagers were watching. He couldn't allow his title as the "strongest Hokage" to be tarnished.
So he came up with an excuse to clear himself.
Hearing this, the Third Raikage snorted coldly but said nothing.
After all, there was no way to make the Third Hokage admit to the dirty business they had done.
Getting Hiruzen Sarutobi to admit with his own mouth that there was a traitor in the Konoha High Command was enough to make Konoha lose face.
"Sealing Squad, Barrier Team, what are you standing around for? Arrest the traitor Uchiha Mikoto and Yeyue Ziyun!"
Before Hiruzen Sarutobi had finished speaking, a cold shout suddenly rang out.
Everyone looked toward the voice. At some point, Danzo, the king of taking the blame, had appeared.
In fact, Danzo had been keeping an eye on developments all along. When he saw that things had gone beyond everyone's expectations, he stepped forward.
As Hiruzen Sarutobi's old partner of decades, he knew Hiruzen Sarutobi's character all too well.
Danzo knew that if he didn't step forward now, that old coward Hiruzen Sarutobi would back down.
The result would be that they failed to kill Yeyue Ziyun and the Konoha High Command lost face.
"Danzo..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't expected Danzo to appear so suddenly and give such an order. He gave Danzo a look, signaling him not to pursue the matter any further.
After all, he cared a great deal about his reputation.
But Danzo pretended not to see it.
"Hmph, Hiruzen, haven't you figured it out yet? That brat Yeyue Ziyun and the Konoha missing-nin Uchiha Mikoto worked together from inside and outside to put on a fine show!"
"Look at the whole story they told. Are there any witnesses? Any evidence? They think they can make up a few lies and dump the blame on Konoha? This is outrageous!"
"Whatever happens today, we can't let them leave Konoha Village! Kill these two here and now! Otherwise, Konoha's reputation will be ruined."
Danzo roared, his eyes burning with anger.
Some of that anger was directed at Ziyun, and some at Hiruzen Sarutobi. After all, Hiruzen had nearly backed down.
If he had, wouldn't everything have been for nothing?
"All right, I understand. You said exactly what I was about to say."
After hearing Danzo's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly understood what he should do.
They had to kill Yeyue Ziyun today, or all their earlier efforts would be wasted.
"Barrier Team, Sealing Squad, get them! Kill Yeyue Ziyun and the traitor Uchiha Mikoto!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi turned and gave the order.
"Hmph, Konoha Village really is shameless. Are you treating me as if I don't exist?"
The Third Raikage snorted coldly. He had never imagined that the Konoha High Command would go so far as to lie through their teeth.
It seemed the worst had happened. They had to fight.
"Hell Stab: Four-Finger Nukite!"
The Third Raikage wasted no words and immediately unleashed one of his finishing moves.
With his powerful muscles and Lightning Release Chakra Mode driving his cellular activity to its limit, the Third Raikage punched a huge hole straight through the Four Violet Flames Formation set up by four Jonin.
"What powerful Nintaijutsu..."
Seeing this, the Konoha ninja were stunned.
The Four Violet Flames Formation was a barrier capable of trapping a Kage Level powerhouse, yet it had been broken so easily.
"Dodai, take Ziyun and the others and leave first. Leave these Konoha people to me."
The Third Raikage gave the order in a low voice.
"Yes, Lord Raikage!"
Dodai acknowledged the order and hurried to Ziyun's side. "Let's go, Ziyun. If we stay here, we'll only be a burden to Lord Raikage."
"All right, I understand. Uncle Raikage, hold on a little longer. I'll be back to support you soon."
At a critical moment, Ziyun wasn't the kind of person to dawdle.
Since the Third Raikage had made up his mind, what Ziyun had to do now was hurry and escort Mikoto, Dodai and the others to safety, then return as quickly as possible to support Uncle Raikage.
Glancing at his system panel, Ziyun saw that after these battles, his mastery of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit had reached 80%.
That meant he could use Enel's finishing move from the original story, the island-destroying 200 Million Volts: Amaru.
Konoha would be just the place to test its power, but first he had to escort Mikoto and the others somewhere safe.
"Don't even think about leaving!"
At that moment, Hatake Sakumo immediately flickered to Ziyun's side and thrust a Chakra short blade at him, only for the Third Raikage to flicker over and slap it aside.
"Get out of my way!"
The Third Raikage stood in front of Ziyun, Dodai, Mikoto and the others, glaring at the Konoha Ninja ahead.
If anyone tried to launch a sneak attack, the Third Raikage would instantly slap them to death.
After all, given the Third Raikage's current speed, if he claimed to be second in the Shinobi World, no one would dare claim to be first.
Perhaps only after Ziyun became lightning could he surpass the Third Raikage.
Although Dodai was supposedly escorting Ziyun, the truth was that Dodai barely had to fight along the way. Whenever Konoha pursuers appeared, Ziyun dealt with them all by himself.
After fleeing for roughly a day and a night, Ziyun and the others finally entered the Land of Lightning.
Dodai, Mikoto and Kushina were all exhausted, but Ziyun was still full of energy.
After all, the Uzumaki Sage Body had given Ziyun an enormous boost.
"Teacher Dodai, take Mikoto back to the village first. I'm going to support Uncle Raikage."
Leaving Mikoto and the still-bewildered Kushina with Dodai, Ziyun turned and headed back to Konoha.
The system had just given him another new mission:
[S-rank mission: Rescue the Third Raikage] Mission description: Rescue the Third Raikage; time limit: 2 days; mission rewards: 50,000 points, Armament Haki, Water Release: Whirling Water Blade, Rasengan, physique +10; mission failure: no penalty.
In the original story, the Third Raikage had fought ten thousand Stone Ninja for three days and nights before finally dying of exhaustion.
The Third Raikage had already held out against Konoha for a day, which meant that in another two days, he would very likely die.
Perhaps even sooner than two days, since Konoha was much stronger than the Stone Ninja.
Ziyun had to hurry to Konoha.
