Chapter 503 The Mighty Fugaku Clan Chief
Just as the warmth of the bedroom was building, a series of system notifications suddenly rang in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the main quest and receiving the quest reward: Maximum Eye Power +20%.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired a second Daoist partner! The Points Shop is now open!]
[Ding! The host and Daoist partner, Uchiha Ami, have engaged in dual cultivation. Both of their physical constitutions have been slightly enhanced. Dual cultivation points +5.]
Uchiha Sanfeng's heart skipped a beat, his initial excitement subsiding, and with a thought, he opened the points shop. A virtual screen unfolded in his mind, displaying a dazzling array of eye techniques and secret treasures, making him breathless and his eyes gleam.
"Rinnegan, Tenseigan, Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan... and also Kamui, Amenotejikara, time acceleration, rewind, and pause—these are all eye techniques!"
He exclaimed inwardly, feeling his blood boil. These were legendary powers, now within his grasp, and this surprise made him even more excited.
He turned to look at Ami beside him, whose cheeks were flushed and who was slightly out of breath. His eyes were filled with intense possessiveness and joy. Without thinking, he pounced on her again.
Uchiha Ami was startled by his sudden action, instinctively shrinking back, her voice filled with shyness: "Mitsubone-nii-san... why... are you doing this again... ah... ah!"
[Ding! The host and Daoist partner, Uchiha Ami, have engaged in dual cultivation. Both of their physical constitutions have been slightly enhanced. Dual cultivation points +5.]
"Ding...ding...ding..."
System notifications rang incessantly, and the warmth inside the room lingered throughout the night until the sky began to lighten, at which point it gradually returned to calm.
The first rays of morning sunlight pierced through the paper window, casting dappled light and shadow on the tatami mats.
A sudden, rapid, heavy knocking broke the silence, the door panel thumping loudly.
The Uchiha ninja outside the room, his voice heavy with suppressed anxiety, called out, "Lord Mimine! Urgent intelligence! Onoki has personally led the Iwagakure army to the border of the Land of Grass, and has sent messengers to declare that he wants to settle the score with you and Chief Fugaku in a battle!"
Uchiha Mitsumine instantly abandoned his languid demeanor, his eyes suddenly turning sharp as knives, the tenderness from before vanishing without a trace.
He quickly got up and, with swift and decisive movements, put on his Uchiha clan uniform.
Turning to look at the worried Uchiha Ami, he gently patted her shoulder: "Don't be afraid, I'll be fine."
At that moment, Yui Aoyama also came from the next room upon hearing the noise, her expression calm but unable to hide her worry.
"Sanfeng, be careful in everything you do."
Although he had a thousand words to say, he knew that the war was the priority at the moment, so he dared not say more and just silently watched him turn and leave.
Uchiha Sanfeng rushed out of his residence, the cold mountain wind blowing in his face, dispelling the last trace of weariness.
When he arrived at the camp square, Fugaku Uchiha was already dressed in black armor, the Uchiha fan pattern on his shoulder armor gleaming coldly in the morning light.
He stood with his hands behind his back on the high platform, exuding a powerful and chilling aura.
More than 5,000 Konoha ninjas stood in neat rows, quietly awaiting instructions.
With a command that resounded like thunder across the plaza, Fugaku Uchiha shouted, "Move out! Head to the battlefield in the Land of Grass!"
The massive army sped off towards the Land of Grass, raising clouds of dust.
When they arrived at the battlefield in the Land of Grass, the Iwagakure army was already lined up and waiting on the border grasslands.
On the grassland, the air was filled with a strong smell of earth and blood, clearly indicating that countless battles had taken place here.
Ōnoki hovered in mid-air, looking down at the Konoha army, his chakra spreading throughout the battlefield: "Uchiha Fugaku, today we'll settle this with one battle! Either Konoha concedes defeat and cedes territory, or my Iwagaku army will raze your borders and show Konoha the might of Iwagakure!"
Fugaku Uchiha flashed forward, his chakra exploding beneath his feet, instantly leaping into the air to confront Onoki. His eyes were icy cold: "Onoki, don't be so arrogant! Iwagakure has repeatedly violated our borders and killed my Konoha ninjas. Today, we will settle our score and make you pay for your actions!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Rōshi, burst out of the Iwagakure formation, his body surrounded by scorching Lava Release chakra, the ground beneath his feet scorching and smoking.
His gaze, fierce as a wild beast, was fixed on Uchiha Mitsuo: "Uchiha brat! Today I will make you perish in the molten sea, your bones reduced to ashes!"
Sanfeng stepped forward, blocking the Konoha army, his chakra circulating quietly around him, his expression solemn.
He knew in his heart that he was just a Chunin with a tomoe before. If he did not have the Mangekyou Sharingan, his combat experience and ninjutsu reserves would be far inferior to those of a Jinchuriki who had experienced countless battles, not to mention that the other party could also control the power of the Four-Tails.
But behind him were his comrades from Konoha and those waiting for his return; he could not back down.
Without time to think further, Old Purple launched the first attack, his hands rapidly forming hand seals as he roared, "Lava Release: Scorching River Rock!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground shook violently, and scalding magma, like a rushing red river, gushed out from the ground with the power to burn everything in its path and carried the pungent smell of sulfur. It swept towards the three peaks, and wherever it passed, the rocks were instantly melted into ashes.
"Kaleidoscope Sharingan! Activate!"
Uchiha Mitsunori let out a low shout, his eyes instantly turning a deep crimson red. Intricate and eerie Mangekyou Sharingan patterns rapidly formed, and his ocular power surged forth like a tidal wave. He dared not hold back in the slightest, directly unleashing all his ocular power to summon Susanoo.
A towering orange Susanoo, over sixty meters tall, rose from the ground, wielding a massive chakra blade and radiating immense pressure.
The magma slammed into Susanoo's armor, producing a piercing "sizzle" sound and billowing white smoke, but it only left shallow scorch marks on the armor, causing no real damage whatsoever.
"Does this have the defensive power of Susanoo? It's definitely quite powerful!"
Old Purple's eyes widened. He never expected that this young Uchiha brat could not only awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, but also summon such a huge and sturdy Susanoo. This was completely beyond his expectations.
With sharp eyes, Mikado controlled Susanoo, wielding a giant blade that slashed wildly towards Rōshi with a fierce wind.
The giant blade sliced through the air with a "whoosh" sound, forcing Lao Zi to retreat repeatedly, the wind whipping deep ravines into the ground beneath his feet.
In desperation, Old Purple roared and his chakra surged. The massive tailed beast chakra instantly enveloped him, and he entered complete tailed beast transformation.
"roar......!"
A deafening sound reverberated across the battlefield as a 52-meter-tall, four-tailed Sun Wukong appeared on the grassland.
Its body was covered in crimson fur, its eyes were fierce and violent, and its body was surrounded by scorching hot Lava Release chakra. The ground sizzled and crackled, and even the air became scorching hot.
On one side is the orange Susanoo, which is over sixty meters long, and on the other side is the four-tailed beast Son Goku, who has fully transformed into a tailed beast.
The two enormous creatures stood facing each other on the grassland, instantly attracting the attention of everyone on the battlefield.
The ninjas from both Konoha and Iwagakure instinctively stopped what they were doing, their eyes fixed on the duel between these two deadly weapons.
"Tailed Beast Ball!"
The Four-Tails opened its mouth and spat out a huge Tailed Beast Ball. The Tailed Beast Ball was entirely red and black, carrying destructive power, and blasted towards Susanoo.
Uchiha Mitsumine's eyes narrowed, and he immediately manipulated Susanoo to block with a horizontal blade, the giant blade colliding fiercely with the Tailed Beast Ball.
The violent shockwave spread out instantly, blasting the surrounding ground into craters, sending debris and lava flying everywhere, and a blinding red light shone in the sky and earth.
On the other side, seeing this, Onoki quickly formed hand seals: "Earth Release: Steel Legacy Technique!"
The ground shook violently, even more violently than when the lava had erupted earlier. A giant rock figure, formed from solidified rock, burst forth from the ground. Standing over 60 meters tall with a robust body, it charged towards Uchiha Fugaku. Each step caused the ground to tremble violently, and rocks to tumble down.
Fugaku Uchiha moved nimbly, dodging and weaving quickly between Iwato's feet.
Although he was proficient in various ninjutsu, his attack power was ultimately lacking when facing such a giant creature. He gradually fell into a passive position and was chased back by the rock man.
On the battlefield, most people's attention was focused on the duel between the three peaks and the four tails. Cheers and exclamations rose and fell, all revolving around the three peaks.
Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha frowned, a strong sense of displeasure rising in his heart.
He was the head of the Uchiha clan and the commander-in-chief of the Konoha army, but now a junior had stolen his thunder and made him lose face.
"snort!"
Fugaku Uchiha let out a low snort, his chakra suddenly surged, and intricate Mangekyou Sharingan patterns appeared in his eyes, his crimson pupils filled with majesty and resentment.
"Susanoo!" he shouted, and chakra surged forth.
A Susanoo, entirely emerald green, quickly took shape. Although its size was slightly inferior to the orange Susanoo of the Three Peaks, it appeared more refined and sharp. The patterns on its armor gleamed with a cold light, and it held a slender green scythe.
Fugaku Uchiha controlled the green Susanoo, exerted force with his feet, and leaped towards the rock giant.
The green scythe of death swung, instantly severing the rockman's thick arm, sending rock fragments flying everywhere.
Before anyone could react, the green Susanoo descended like a tiger from the mountain, nimbly weaving around the rock giant. With a series of slashes of its scythe, it shattered the massive rock giant into pieces, scattering rock fragments all over the ground.
Then, Fugaku Uchiha controlled Susanoo and chased straight towards Onoki in mid-air, slashing at Onoki's body.
"Good... Chief Fugaku is mighty..."
Upon seeing this, the Konoha army erupted in thunderous cheers, their morale instantly soaring to its peak.
With fighting spirit ignited in their eyes, the ninjas charged toward the Iwagakure ninjas.
The situation on the battlefield gradually tilted in favor of Konoha due to Fugaku's outburst, with shouts of battle and the sounds of ninjutsu clashing intertwined.
