Chapter 546 Fugaku's Invitation, Three Peaks Poisoned!
The evening breeze, carrying the chill of the mountains, made a soft rustling sound.
The Wangyue Pavilion at the summit is the highest point in the back mountain of the Uchiha clan's territory.
Standing in the pavilion, you can take in the entire night view of Konoha Village.
The three peaks of the Uchiha clan arrived as promised. Fugaku Uchiha was sitting at the stone table in the pavilion, gazing at the darkness outside, as if deep in thought, or perhaps trying to escape.
On the stone table, there was a simple set of celadon teaware. A pot of hot tea was steaming, and the rising steam blurred Fugaku's features and diluted the biting cold of the mountains. A faint tea fragrance filled the air, but it also carried a faint, eerie bitterness.
Fugaku Uchiha slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on the three peaks of Uchiha Uchiha, as if he had been suppressing his emotions for a long time: "You've arrived, have a seat."
Uchiha Mitsunori walked straight to the stone table and sat down, the wooden chair making a slight creaking sound.
"The clan chief invited me to this back mountain late at night. You can't just want to offer me a cup of hot tea, can you? If you have something to say, just say it."
Fugaku Uchiha did not answer his question immediately, but slowly raised his hand and picked up the teapot on the table.
The scalding hot tea flowed slowly from the spout into two pristine white celadon teacups, splashing up tiny droplets.
The aroma of tea instantly filled the air, and he slowly pushed one of the cups of hot tea in front of Uchiha Sanfeng.
"Have some tea first. We can talk about it after we finish drinking."
Uchiha Mitsunori's brows furrowed slightly, his vigilance growing stronger.
He looked up at Fugaku's unusual expression... It was all too strange, so calm it was almost unnatural.
Confident in his abilities, he picked up the teacup on the table. A surge of scalding heat made him pause slightly, then he gripped the teacup tightly, tilted his head back, and drank the hot tea in one gulp.
The tea was scalding hot when it entered his mouth, sliding down his throat and into his stomach. At first, he only felt a warm sensation that spread from his throat to his whole body. But the next second, a sharp, intense pain suddenly erupted from his abdomen, like countless poisonous needles piercing his meridians.
A numbness spread through my limbs and bones, and all my strength seemed to be rapidly draining away.
"puff......"
Uchiha Mitsunori suddenly clutched his abdomen, his body trembling violently, and a trickle of bright red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
His pupils contracted slightly as he stared intently at Fugaku: "Is there...poison in the tea?"
Before he could finish speaking, his crimson Mangekyou Sharingan instantly and uncontrollably activated, strange patterns swirling wildly in his eyes, his gaze surging with boundless rage and bewilderment.
"Uchiha Fugaku, you...you actually poisoned me?"
Fugaku Uchiha slowly raised his head, straightened his body slightly, and looked at the three peaks struggling in pain.
"So what if it is?"
His heart was filled with bitterness, but when he thought of Hiruzen Sarutobi's pleas, the throne of the Fourth Hokage, and the future of the Uchiha clan, he forcibly suppressed it... He had no choice, at least, that's what he thought.
Just then, Uchiha Mitsunori's body trembled violently, and a huge and pure life force suddenly burst forth from his body, forcefully suppressing the toxins that were spreading wildly within his body.
He possesses the body of an Asura immortal, with an astonishingly tenacious vitality and an even more heaven-defying recovery ability. Although this insidious poison can harm him and cause him temporary pain, it cannot take his life in a short time, nor can it defeat him.
"Hahaha...hahaha..."
Uchiha Mitsunori suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with mockery, sorrow, and boundless rage.
He kicked over the stone table in front of him, and with a loud crash, the celadon tea set shattered on the ground, splashing water onto Fugaku's trouser legs.
Using this force, he leaped out of Wangyue Pavilion in an instant, preparing to flee into the distance.
Before he could even regain his footing, dozens of black figures suddenly appeared around him, completely surrounding the mountaintop.
They were dressed in ANBU uniforms, with black masks covering most of their faces, staring intently at Uchiha Mitsunori, exuding a chilling killing intent.
Clearly, they had been prepared and were just waiting for him to walk right into their trap.
"There was an ambush after all!"
Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes instantly turned icy cold, the anger and killing intent in them almost bursting out of his chest.
He slowly straightened up, his chakra and eye power surging wildly around him.
"Mangekyou Sharingan... Susanoo!"
The next second, an immense and suffocating surge of chakra erupted from his body, and the orange Susanoo slowly condensed and took shape... firmly protecting the Uchiha Mikado within it.
The aura of Susanoo forced the surrounding Anbu ninjas to retreat.
Uchiha Mitsunori controlled Susanoo, slowly turning its head, which flashed with a scarlet light.
A tremendous roar echoed across the mountaintop, filled with boundless rage: "Uchiha Fugaku, why did you do this?"
Fugaku Uchiha slowly walked out of the Wangyue Pavilion, letting the evening breeze flutter his clan robes, the hem of his robes fluttering slightly.
His gaze fell on the towering orange Susanoo, and a complex mix of emotions flashed in his eyes... guilt, helplessness, pain, and shock.
"Because you plunged the village into internal strife, because of your stubbornness and impulsiveness, too many innocent people have died. Konoha is already on the verge of collapse."
"For the safety of the village, for the future of the Uchiha clan, and to prevent further bloodshed, you are the only option left!"
Uchiha Mitsumine burst into laughter again, as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world: "For the safety of the village? For the future of the Uchiha clan? Sacrifice me? Uchiha Fugaku, stop deceiving yourself!"
He controlled Susanoo, his enormous hand slightly raised, pointing at Fugaku, his eyes filled with disdain, contempt, and anger.
"Haha, well said! Absolutely right!"
Just then, a sinister and maniacal laugh suddenly came from the shadows, breaking the standoff between the two.
Danzo Shimura emerged from the shadows, his single eye filled with malice and killing intent, staring intently at the Susanoo of the Uchiha Mitsurugi.
He walked step by step to Fugaku's side, a deep calculation flashing in his eyes, then looked at Susanoo again: "A barrier has been set up here. Uchiha Sanfeng, today is your death day!"
Uchiha Sanfeng's gaze fell upon Shimura Danzo, the killing intent in his eyes growing ever stronger. But just then, Sarutobi Hiruzen also emerged from the shadows.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's temples were increasingly white, and his eyes were bloodshot, his once gentle and dignified gaze gone.
Upon seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura appear together, the Uchiha Mitsunori showed no fear whatsoever; instead, they laughed even more wildly.
"Interesting! How incredibly interesting! Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura actually joined forces with the Uchiha clan head to deal with a mere Uchiha clansman like me! How ironic, so incredibly ironic!"
"Since that's the case, let's see who emerges victorious today. Let's see if you kill me, or if I overthrow this rotten Konoha and settle all your sins!"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly manipulated the orange Susanoo, raised the huge longsword in his hand high, and slashed it down at Shimura Danzo.
He seemed to have gone mad, completely disregarding the attacks from Uchiha Fugaku beside him and Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He unleashed all his anger and murderous intent upon Shimura Danzo...
Danzo Shimura's face instantly darkened. This mad dog, Uchiha Mitsumine, was so insane, only wanting to kill him.
Without a second thought, he quickly activated the Body Flicker Technique, awkwardly dodging to the side to avoid Susanoo's longsword attack.
"Boom..."
A deafening roar resounded as the longsword slammed into the ground, instantly carving a massive trench in the earth.
"This guy is a complete madman! A total madman!"
Danzo Shimura hid behind a rock in the distance, panting heavily, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
He peeked out and looked at the towering orange Susanoo, his eyes filled with fear and greed. Then he roared at Uchiha Fugaku.
"Fugaku, you have to think of something! If this continues, he'll kill us all! You all need to act quickly and join forces to eliminate him!"
Chakra surged around Uchiha Mitsumine, and his orange Susanoo continued to grow larger.
From its initial height of a dozen meters, it quickly grew to several dozen meters, becoming increasingly massive and imposing, soon exceeding 60 meters.
"Crack...crack..." A crisp cracking sound suddenly rang out.
Under the ever-increasing pressure from Susanoo, the barrier set up by Shimura Danzo gradually developed fine cracks, which spread out like a spider web.
In just a moment, the cracks multiplied, and then the barrier burst open.
The Uchiha clan members in the distance, seeing the anomaly on the back mountain and then the enormous Susanoo, instantly realized something was wrong.
They all dropped what they were doing and rushed frantically toward the top of the back mountain.
Footsteps and shouts rose and fell, like a tide surging towards the back of the mountain.
Fugaku Uchiha stood rooted to the spot, staring at the ever-growing orange Susanoo, his heart filled with shock. He never imagined that the strength of the three peaks of the Uchiha clan would grow to this level.
"Luckily you were poisoned... Sanfeng, couldn't you just die peacefully? Sigh..."
He took a deep breath, and his scarlet Sharingan instantly activated. The black tomoe spun rapidly in his eyes, and then the light of the Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly surged, illuminating the entire mountaintop with a blinding green light.
The green Susanoo slowly condensed and began to fight against the orange Susanoo of the Three Peaks.
Hiruzen Sarutobi no longer hesitated. There was no way out now. If he could not eliminate the three peaks, Konoha would fall into chaos and even face destruction.
He rapidly formed hand seals: "Shadow Clone Technique... Fifth Element: Great Barrage Technique!"
The next second, five different elemental ninjutsu—Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet, Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet, Wind Release: Cyclone, Lightning Release: Thunderclap, and Earth Release: Earth Flow Bullet—were simultaneously unleashed from his hands.
