"Hey! You old guys over there! Who wants to be the first to taste what it's like to be crushed by the future Uchiha?!"
Uchiha Shō's words, filled with extreme arrogance and provocation, were like pouring a bucket of cold water into a boiling oil pan, instantly making the atmosphere on the entire battlefield tense!
"You brat, you're asking for it!"
For the first time, a clear look of anger appeared on Tobirama Senju cold and stern face.
How could he, the Second Hokage, a renowned master of forbidden techniques in the Shinobi World, be so provoked by a brat who looks like he hasn't even been weaned yet?
If he weren't controlled by the Impure World Reincarnation, he would have made this arrogant brat taste the power of " Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags " right now!
However, before he could make a move, a clear and melodious voice, yet carrying an innate sense of detachment, rang out from the Uchiha formation.
"Xiang, step back."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the silent, porcelain-doll-like girl, Uchiha Yōko, slowly walking out from the crowd.
"The lord's order is 'a cannon salute,' not for you to act as a lone hero."
Uchiha Yōko said calmly, her eyes, which also burned with Mitsudomoe, sweeping calmly over the Impure World Reincarnation army opposite her, without the slightest fear, but rather as if she were observing some interesting specimen.
"Besides, he's not your opponent."
Uchiha Yōko's gaze finally settled on Hashirama Senju.
The moment she saw that man, she felt a subtle, wondrous resonance within her blood.
The feeling was like a wanderer who had been away from home for a long time seeing the smoke rising from the chimneys of his hometown.
" Wood Release-- "
Uchiha Yōko subconsciously stretched out her small hand, and a wisp of green Chakra full of life quietly bloomed at her fingertips, condensing into a small, lifelike leaf.
Although it was only in its most basic form, the pure creative power originating from all things in the All Things of Creation caused a slight fluctuation to appear in the empty " Sage Sharingan Hashirama Senju on the other side!
"This little girl can even use Wood Release?!"
"And their bloodline purity seems to be even higher than mine--"
Although Orochimaru erased his consciousness, his body's instincts still made him feel an inexplicable sense of kinship with this Uchiha junior who possessed the same power as him.
"Hey! Yōko! What do you mean?!" Uchiha Shō was immediately annoyed that his thunder had been stolen. "Are you lecturing me?!"
"I'm just stating the facts." Uchiha Yōko withdrew her gaze and looked at him calmly. "Our mission is to eliminate the ringleader and test our skills. Your actions just now were nothing but a waste of time."
After saying that, she ignored the indignant Uchiha Shō and turned to give an order to the thousand Uchiha children behind her in an unquestionable tone.
"Squads one through ten, using a 'three-three' formation, freely search for enemies. Target—elite missing-nin."
"Squads 11 through 30, form the Adamantine Flame Formation ' to suppress the movements of the four Impure World Reincarnation Hokage."
"Squads 31 through 50, join me in the main attack on the center. Target: Shimura Danzō and Orochimaru!"
"As for those two Uchiha 'seniors'—" Yōko's gaze fell on Fugaku and Shisui, a cold glint in her eyes, "I'll leave them to Instructor Itachi to handle personally."
Her commands were clear and concise, filled with a calmness and decisiveness beyond her years.
In an instant, all the Uchiha children subconsciously looked at Uchiha Itachi behind them, as if seeking his approval.
Itachi simply nodded.
Although Yōko's tactical arrangements were immature, they were the safest and most efficient choice in the overall direction.
With the instructor's permission, the entire Uchiha "Hope" Legion moved instantly!
"Yes!"
Nearly a thousand Uchiha children, like the most sophisticated war machines, instantly split into several formations and launched a tidal wave of attacks on the enemy in front of them!
" Genjutsu class! Ready!"
" Taijutsu class! Keep up!"
" Fire Style! Coverage Attack! Unleash!"
In an instant, Kakkō soared into the sky throughout the sinkhole, and the sounds of Ninjutsu and Taijutsu clashing filled the air!
Although the missing-nin were all experienced elites, they were almost instantly defeated when they faced this group of fearless, well-coordinated Uchiha "monsters" who all possessed the Three-Tomoe Sharingan!
Their Genjutsu was child's play against the Sharingan.
Their Taijutsu are no match for the Sharingan's perception.
Their Ninjutsu was completely countered by that overwhelming Fire Style!
In less than a minute, dozens of missing-nin were slaughtered by the Uchiha children as easily as cutting melons and vegetables!
Meanwhile, the army responsible for restraining the four Hokage also displayed astonishing combat power.
Hundreds of them formed a massive array, their Chakra interconnected, creating a colossal "Diamond Flame Cage" made entirely of Fire Style Chakra, trapping the four legendary Hokage within!
Although they couldn't inflict any real damage, the relentless Fire Style attacks made it difficult for them to escape for the time being!
Under Uchiha Yōko's command, the situation on the entire battlefield instantly turned into a one-sided and overwhelming victory!
"Damn it! Those brats!"
In the center of the sinkhole, Danzo watched as his men were swiftly wiped out, his face contorted in extreme rage.
He whirled around and roared at Orochimaru beside him, " Orochimaru! What are you waiting for?! Use that! Use your last resort!"
"Heh, don't be in such a hurry, Danzo." Orochimaru licked his lips, a calculating glint in his eyes. "The show has only just begun."
But he had already quietly completed the Hand Seals.
He knew that conventional fighting was no longer meaningful.
To turn the tide, he can only rely on that last "fortress" he prepared for himself!
Just then, Uchiha Yōko led nearly five hundred Uchiha children through all the defenses, like a black tide besieging the city, and arrived less than a hundred meters in front of them!
Five hundred pairs of Three-Tomoe Sharingan stared coldly at them, and the immense pressure made Danzo feel his soul trembling uncontrollably!
"It's over."
Uchiha Yōko looked at the two "ringleaders" who were already trapped, and calmly pronounced her verdict.
" Shimura Danzō and Orochimaru, I have been sent by my lord to arrest you."
"Will you kneel down yourselves, or do you want us to break your limbs?"
"Hahahaha!" Danzo seemed to have heard the funniest joke and let out a maniacal laugh!
"You bunch of greenhorns?!"
He slammed his cane down, his eyes flashing with a final burst of madness and resentment!
" Orochimaru! Now! Raise that! Raise Konoha's last guardian!!"
Orochimaru's lips curled into a sinister smile.
"As you wish."
He slammed his hands on the ground!
Forbidden Technique: Six Red Yang Formation!
boom--!!
As soon as he finished speaking, the four Impure World Reincarnation Hokage trapped in the fiery cage suddenly stopped attacking!
Their bodies transformed into four streaks of light in an instant, appearing in the east, south, west, and north of the sinkhole!
A huge and complex red spell symbol simultaneously appeared beneath their feet!
"Oh no! They're going to use that!" Uchiha Itachi's expression changed slightly for the first time!
Six Red Yang Formation!
That's an ultimate Barrier Ninjutsu, known as "absolute defense," that only four Kage Level ninjas can activate together! Its strength is even enough to trap the Ten-Tails!
"Quick! Stop them!" Itachi shouted to the children below!
But it was too late!
Under the horrified gaze of billions of viewers worldwide!
A massive, ominous, blood-red, semi-transparent cubic barrier, resembling red crystal, suddenly rose from the ground, completely enveloping the central area of the sinkhole, along with Danzo, Orochimaru, and the four Hokage!
Boom!
The enormous barrier stood firmly on the earth, exuding an aura of despair and indestructibility!
Within the barrier, Danzo, mocking laughter amplified and reverberated throughout the entire battlefield!
"Hahahaha! Did you see that?! Uchiha brats!"
"This is the power of Konoha! This is the power of the Hokage!"
"Come on! If you're so capable, try and break through this strongest absolute defense in the Shinobi World, set up by the four Hokage working together!"
"I'd like to see whether your little bastards have tougher teeth, or whether our Konoha's last bulwark is stronger!"
