Uchiha Fugaku deactivated the third form of Susanoo, Susanoo into the first stage.
Just make sure you don't get crushed.
Because he had only been in the third stage for a short while, he could already feel that his vision was becoming less clear.
If he were to activate the third stage of Susanoo and break through the Gold Dust Layer Great Burial, he would probably be close to going blind.
Even if he manages to break through, half an hour would be enough for Rasa and the others to finish them off.
Uchiha Fugaku had no choice but to deactivate the third stage.
In this way, while waiting for the Rasa to dissipate naturally, he can at least retain his pupil power.
Uchiha Fugaku dared not gamble, fearing that the Uchiha Clan would be immediately purged once he lost his power.
The Third wasn't incapable of doing such a thing; at least, that's how Uchiha Fugaku saw it.
Outside, once the four joined the battle, the battlefield instantly became one-sided!
The four of them went on a killing spree in Konoha, and in no time more than half of the Konoha Ninja had been killed or wounded!
"We're fucked..."
The Konoha Ninja had only one thought in their minds right now.
They couldn't figure out how they would survive.
Their strongest member had been sealed away, while the four on the other side were killing their own men as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
Although many people awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan during the killing, it was of little use.
Unless it's Mangekyō, even Mitsudomoe is just a slightly tougher dish in front of these four.
On the other side
While wandering aimlessly, Hatake Sakumo Hatake Sakumo sensed an evil yet powerful aura, and curiosity drove him to investigate.
He planned to go and see if Konoha and Sunagakure were at war.
However, Hatake Sakumo was afraid that his appearance would force Konoha to deal with him, so he only planned to observe from a distance.
But when he arrived at the battlefield, he was shocked to find that Sunagakure was massacring Konoha!
On the Konoha side, cries of agony filled the air as blood splattered everywhere, while on the Sunagakure, led by Rasa, a frenzied massacre of Konoha Ninja was taking place!
"Hateful!"
Hatake Sakumo clenched his fists tightly.
" Heavenly Weeping!"
Hatake Sakumo leaped out, unleashing an endless barrage of sword light towards Rasa!
" Chikamatsu's Collection of Ten Puppets!"
Upon seeing the attack, Chiyo immediately used the Chikamatsu's Collection of Ten Puppets to Rasa!
The flash of the blade damaged three of Chikamatsu's Collection of Ten Puppets Chiyo.
"Hatake! Saku! Shigeru!"
Rasa looked at Hatake Sakumo and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"This is our Konoha's S-rank missing-nin Hatake Sakumo..."
The Konoha Ninja, who was about to be executed, also looked towards Hatake Sakumo.
This man, once Konoha's strongest fighter, has now become missing-nin. Why would he help them now?
Wasn't Hatake Sakumo leaving because he hated the village?
That's right, the announcement issued by Hiruzen Sarutobi stated that Hatake Sakumo left because of rumors, and he harbored resentment towards everyone in the village.
This was intended to dispel the villagers' nostalgia for Hatake Sakumo.
Despite the criticism, there were still many people in Konoha who genuinely admired Hatake Sakumo.
It's just that many people are criticizing them, so these people don't dare to speak out.
As for those who criticize Hatake Sakumo, they are even more reluctant to let Hatake Sakumo leave.
It's precisely because Hatake Sakumo is considered invincible in their eyes that they make a big deal out of a single defeat.
If it were just a regular ninja mission failure, even if it became widely known throughout the village, very few people would voice their condemnation.
" Hatake Sakumo, as an S-rank missing-nin of Konoha, how dare you come here!"
Looking at the three completely damaged and seven slightly damaged Chikamatsu's Collection of Ten Puppets, Rasa swallowed hard and then spoke righteously!
"Snort..."
Hatake Sakumo completely ignored him.
" Heavenly Abyss!"
Hatake Sakumo gathered his strength and then slashed at the Gold Dust Layer Great Burial that sealed Uchiha Fugaku!
"So hard."
After slashing down, Hatake Sakumo realized that his strike seemed to have failed to penetrate the Gold Dust Layer Great Burial.
" Hatake Sakumo, even you can't break through my Gold Dust Layer Great Burial!"
Rasa had been somewhat worried, immediately felt relieved when he saw that even Hatake Sakumo was unable to break through his Gold Dust Layer Great Burial.
If it were just Hatake Sakumo, it would be easier to handle.
Rasa did not have an accurate understanding of Hatake Sakumo, as he had never fought Hatake Sakumo at the time.
All he knew was that the Third Kazekage could fight Hatake Sakumo to a draw, and both were seriously injured in almost every battle. Hatake Sakumo was only able to get to the battlefield faster than the Third Kazekage thanks to Tsunade's medical skills!
Third Kazekage could do it, then as a fellow Kazekage, Rasa could certainly do it too!
However, his Chakra is currently insufficient, so he does not intend to linger in battle.
" Sunagakure, withdraw your troops!"
Rasa glanced warily at Hatake Sakumo, then immediately ordered the Sunagakure ninja to retreat.
After the Sunagakure ninjas had completely disappeared, Hatake Sakumo glanced indifferently at the Konoha Ninja and vanished into the desert once again.
The Gold Dust Layer Great Burial, now freed from Rasa's control, quickly dissipated on its own, allowing Uchiha Fugaku to escape from it.
Susanoo: Third Stage!
Uchiha Fugaku, immediately activated the third stage of Susanoo.
He felt he should have been ganged up on inside Sunagakure.
He was about to fight to the death when he discovered that he was surrounded by Konoha Ninja!
" Fugaku, the Sunagakure has withdrawn its troops!"
The Uchiha ninja below quickly addressed Uchiha Fugaku.
"The troops have withdrawn? Why?"
Uchiha Fugaku also released his Susanoo and asked with some confusion.
" Hatake Sakumo just arrived; he scared the people from Sunagakure away."
"Uchiha Clan said."
His eyes still gleamed with admiration for Hatake Sakumo.
He didn't feel anything about Hatake Sakumo's defection, because he felt it was good that Hatake Sakumo dared to defect; if given the chance, he wouldn't want to stay in Konoha either.
" Hatake Sakumo..."
Uchiha Fugaku muttered to himself.
"Pass on my orders: find Hatake Sakumo. Once you find him, tell him I want to see him!"
Uchiha Fugaku issued his orders to the remaining thousand-plus Konoha Ninja and members of the Uchiha Clan.
After this battle, he even considered leading his entire clan to defect.
Konoha treated him like a disposable commodity, and was even unwilling to assign him a high-level combatant.
Previously, there was no one outside to provide support, but now that Hatake Sakumo has appeared, he feels that things are turning around.
If he gets the chance this time, he will definitely lead the Uchiha clan in a defection!
He felt that if Hiruzen Sarutobi playing like this, the Uchiha Clan might not last until Hokage Tsunade.
"Yes, Fugaku!"
Although the ninjas didn't know what Uchiha Fugaku was planning, they still agreed.
Konoha Ninja began to scatter throughout the Land of Rivers in search of Hatake Sakumo's whereabouts.
Hatake Sakumo observed these people coldly. He didn't know what they wanted to do, so he wasn't in a hurry to step forward.
