Chapter 547 Fugaku, you have already found your way to death!
Chapter 547 Fugaku, you have already found your way to death!
The five ninjutsu intertwined, forming a massive torrent of energy that slammed into the orange Susanoo of the Uchiha Mitsurugi.
"Boom... boom... boom..."
A series of earth-shattering explosions rang out as five ninjutsu simultaneously struck the orange Susanoo's armor, sending dust billowing into the air.
The entire mountaintop was shaking violently, as if an earthquake had occurred, with rocks constantly tumbling down the mountainside with loud "thump-thump" sounds.
But when the smoke cleared, the orange Susanoo's armor was completely intact. Hiruzen Sarutobi's Five Elements Great Barrage, which he had unleashed with all his might, couldn't even break through its defenses!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face instantly darkened, and he staggered slightly: "Impossible... how can it be so hard...?"
"My Five Elements Great Barrage... how come it can't even break through defenses?"
At this moment, a dozen members of the secret service rushed in from all directions amidst the chaos of smoke and dust, attempting to break the stalemate.
But Uchiha Mitsunori merely glanced at them disdainfully, as if looking at a bunch of clowns. He wielded the Susanoo's massive sword with a casual wave.
Those dozen or so members of the secret service were instantly smashed into a pulp, blood splattering everywhere, without even a chance to resist or utter a scream.
Seeing this, the fear in Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura's hearts surged like a tidal wave. They exchanged a glance, both seeing panic and hesitation in each other's eyes.
They knew they had lost control of the Uchiha Three Peaks by now, and staying would only mean certain death.
Escape... I must escape...
Now they just want to escape this place of trouble as soon as possible and save their lives.
But this is the back mountain of the Uchiha clan's territory, the territory of the Uchiha people, and they cannot come and go as they please.
Just as they were preparing to use the Body Flicker Technique to escape from the mountaintop, a large number of Uchiha clan members had already arrived at the mountaintop.
Densely packed, layer upon layer, it once again enveloped the entire mountaintop.
They activated their crimson Sharingan, the crimson light of which was particularly striking.
When they saw Fugaku Uchiha, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Danzo Shimura standing up against the three peaks of the Uchiha clan, everyone was stunned and stopped in their tracks.
"What's going on? How come Clan Chief Fugaku is with Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura?" A young Uchiha clansman looked at Fugaku with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, why would Clan Chief Fugaku join forces with them to fight against Lord Mitsumine?"
Another Uchiha clansman frowned, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction and disappointment.
He simply couldn't understand why the Fugaku clan leader would side with the Konoha leadership and turn against his own clan.
"Has the clan leader been bewitched by them? Or have they threatened him with something? There must be some misunderstanding here!"
The murmurs grew louder, and the Uchiha clan members' gazes toward Fugaku gradually became more complex.
As more and more clansmen arrived, Uchiha Sanfeng knew it was time to settle all scores.
He no longer held back, and the chakra around him surged wildly like a volcano once again.
The orange Susanoo began to grow larger again, soaring all the way up until it reached over 200 meters.
It stands majestically like a towering mountain, blocking out the sky and inspiring awe.
"Fugaku, you brought this on yourself!"
Uchiha Mitsumine let out a long roar and controlled his orange Susanoo, slashing fiercely at Fugaku's green Susanoo.
"not good!"
Fugaku Uchiha's expression changed drastically. Without thinking, he raised the long sword in Susanoo's hand, trying to block the fatal blow.
However, the difference between the two is too great; the green Susanoo is not even half the size of the orange Susanoo.
With a deafening roar, the green Susanoo crashed heavily into a distant cliff.
With a crisp "crack," the cliff collapsed instantly, and the green Susanoo shattered and vanished.
Fugaku Uchiha's eyes bled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then, his body trembled violently, his eyes filled with pain and despair... He knew that he had lost, lost utterly.
After defeating Fugaku Uchiha, Mitsunori Uchiha controlled the orange Susanoo, its enormous hands extending simultaneously like two colossal hands that blot out the sky, one reaching out to grab Danzo Shimura and the other to grab Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"If I get caught, I will be torn to pieces."
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't have time to think; he quickly formed hand seals: "Earth Release: Earth Substitute!"
The next second, his figure vanished from the spot, and what was grabbed by the giant hand of the three peaks was just an earth clone made of soil.
The moment the earth clone was caught, it turned into a clump of soil with a "bang" and slowly dissipated in the palm of the hand.
Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi's true form, under the cover of his earth substitute, had already fled frantically towards the Sarutobi clan's territory.
Upon seeing the enormous hand reaching for him, Danzo Shimura immediately activated the forbidden Uchiha technique... Izanagi.
The next second, his figure vanished into thin air within the giant palm of Susanoo.
The price of activating Izanagi is the loss of sight in one of the three-tomoe Sharingan.
But at this moment, he couldn't care less about any of that; preserving his own life was the most important thing.
Uchiha Mitsunori stared at the empty hand, showing no surprise whatsoever. He had known all along that Shimura Danzo possessed the forbidden technique Izanagi, and he had anticipated that Danzo would use it to escape, so he remained completely calm.
He controlled the orange Susanoo, and the light of his Mangekyou Sharingan surged once more as he vigilantly observed everything around him, not missing a single subtle movement.
"Shimura Danzo, stop hiding! I know you're still here. Izanagi's effects are limited; let's see how long you can hide!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a slight rustling sound came from a dense patch of grass in the distance, as the withered leaves were moved.
Seeing that his sneak attack had failed, Shimura Danzo did not linger at all. He used the Body Flicker Technique and fled madly towards the distant mountains and forests.
"Shimura Danzo, you rat from the gutter, you're going to die today!"
Uchiha Sanfeng's eyes were filled with disdain and killing intent as he casually slapped someone.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
The next second, hundreds of shadow clones of the three Uchiha peaks appeared densely all around, and then surged toward every corner of the mountaintop.
These shadow clones were all wielding the Mangekyou Sharingan, their eyes cold and icy.
They quickly split into three groups. One group chased after Hiruzen Sarutobi in the direction he had fled; another group sped towards the forest where Danzo Shimura had disappeared; and the third group slowly surrounded Fugaku Uchiha, who had been knocked to the ground and was unable to move.
The shadow clone that chased after Danzo Shimura was incredibly fast and quickly caught up with him.
Danzo Shimura's face turned deathly pale instantly, overwhelmed by despair.
He tried to activate Izanagi again, but the three-tomoe Sharingan in his right eye had already closed. As for the seal on his right hand, he couldn't use it because there wasn't time to unseal it.
He could only dodge awkwardly and run unsteadily, but the number of shadow clones was too large, blocking all his escape routes.
"Pfft..."
With a soft, crisp yet piercing sound, a shadow clone suddenly slashed out with a sword, precisely severing Shimura Danzo's right arm.
Fresh blood gushed from the wound, staining the leaves of the nearby trees red.
Danzo Shimura suddenly stopped, staggered and fell to the ground, his severed right arm lying to the side.
He covered the wound with his left hand, but blood continued to seep out from between his fingers and he couldn't stop it.
His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his body trembled violently. Yet he still didn't give up, struggling to keep going and trying to escape. But more shadow clones had already surrounded him, trapping him firmly. If he moved even slightly, he would be hacked to death.
Although the shadow clone chasing after Hiruzen Sarutobi was very fast, it was still a step too late.
Using his Earth Release technique and his familiarity with the terrain of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi successfully escaped back to the Sarutobi clan's territory.
As soon as he returned to the clan's territory, he immediately ordered the activation of the strongest barrier, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving. The shadow clones chased to the entrance of the Sarutobi clan's territory, but seeing the impenetrable barrier, they found it impossible to break through.
They could only stand in neat rows outside the clan's territory, keeping a close watch on what was happening inside.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi dares to step out of the clan's territory, he will be killed immediately.
Meanwhile, the shadow clones surrounding Fugaku Uchiha successfully captured him.
Two shadow clones stepped forward, pressed down on his body, and dragged him up from the ground, forcing him to stand up straight.
Fugaku Uchiha's body felt like it was falling apart, and he could only let the shadow clones do as they pleased.
His eyes were filled with pain, his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Footsteps echoed through the mountains and forests. One shadow clone carried the disheveled Shimura Danzo, while another dragged his severed arm, quickly flashing to the center of the mountaintop.
Uchiha Mitsuhide released Susanoo and casually slapped the severed arm.
The seal on the severed arm broke instantly, revealing its eerie and ferocious true form.
"Shimura Danzo stole our Uchiha's forbidden technique: Izanagi. This technique causes blindness in the Sharingan, so he secretly captured and killed more than a dozen Uchiha Jonin, using them as test subjects. In the end, he gouged out their eyes and transplanted them onto this severed arm!"
The surrounding Uchiha clan members all turned their gazes toward the severed arm.
On the severed arm, twelve scarlet Sharingan eyes with three tomoe were densely embedded. Those Sharingan eyes were still slightly turning, as if filled with resentment and unwillingness.
The pupils of the surrounding Uchiha clan members shrank suddenly, instantly replaced by overwhelming rage.
Some of them had veins bulging on their foreheads, some had bloodshot tears welling up in their eyes, and some Uchiha clan members were even stimulated to awaken their Sharingan with a one-tomoe.
The next second, a series of angry roars rang out: "Kill him... Kill him... Kill him..."
