Arrogant!
Truly arrogant beyond measure!
Since the founding of Konoha, no one had ever seen such a rampant individual.
Even Uchiha Madara, in terms of arrogance, probably couldn't compare.
Everyone who heard Uchiha Shin's words was left dumbfounded.
However.
The Uchiha clansmen didn't think Uchiha Shin had gone mad.
After all, Uchiha Shin was powerful.
Both Itachi and Fugaku, who had also activated Susanoo, couldn't last a few rounds against him.
A mere Sarutobi Hiruzen would probably be the same.
Thinking of this.
Uchiha Setsuna and the others immediately responded: "Understood!"
Then, Uchiha Setsuna led two hundred clansmen away.
To this.
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not stop them.
He even wished for the Uchiha clan to disperse their forces.
This way, they could be defeated one by one.
Anyway, the entire Uchiha clan ground was surrounded by him.
Even if Uchiha Setsuna and his men left his sight, they couldn't escape his encirclement.
After annihilating Uchiha Shin, he would then go and eliminate Uchiha Setsuna and the others.
It would be much easier.
Thus.
By defeating them one by one, the number of casualties would also be greatly reduced.
So, both sides tacitly watched as Uchiha Setsuna led the two hundred-plus people away.
After Uchiha Setsuna and his group were completely gone.
Uchiha Shin covered his forehead and suddenly burst into laughter.
"In that case, let's begin!!!"
With that, he brought his hands together!
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Poof! Poof! Poof!!!
In an instant.
Besides Uchiha Shin's original body.
Nine more Uchiha Shadow Clones appeared.
Lined up in a row.
The Shadow Clone Technique evenly distributed all his chakra among each shadow clone.
He previously had over seventy Kakashis worth of chakra.
Now, with this chakra evenly distributed, each clone had at least seven Kakashis worth.
This amount of chakra was Kage-level.
It was more than enough to use Susanoo.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, don't say I'm bullying the few with numbers; your numbers far exceed mine!"
Uchiha Shin laughed wildly.
The nine shadow clones.
Also unleashed their Susanoos!
In an instant, ten twenty-meter-tall Susanoos stood upon the Uchiha clan grounds.
The scene was magnificent!
Everyone who saw this was unsettled.
The Uchiha clansmen were ecstatic.
"How can this be???"
"This is amazing!"
"Long live Clan Head Shin!!!"
"The glory of the Uchiha clan will be restored today!!!"
The Uchiha clansmen roared with excitement.
God knows how much pressure they were under before.
Now, all that pressure was gone in an instant.
All that remained was excitement, ecstasy, and thrill.
Ten Susanoos, couldn't they sweep through all of Konoha?
They could sweep through the entire ninja world!
"Ten chakra giants?"
"How are we supposed to fight this?"
"We're finished!"
"It's fake, it's fake!!"
"One person can't possibly sustain ten Susanoos in battle!"
"It's just an illusion."
"Mere shadow clones can be popped with a single poke."
"Everyone, don't panic. As long as we are all united under the leadership of Lord Third, the enemy is just a group of paper tigers."
"There's nothing to be afraid of."
"Victory will ultimately be ours!!"
"We must believe in Lord Third!!"
"That's right."
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's army, under the comfort of the various officers, quickly calmed down.
They even believed that they could achieve final victory under the leadership of the Third Hokage.
However, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was not so calm in his heart.
Looking at the ten Susanoos.
He felt a sense of suffocation.
Others might not know how strong Susanoo was, but as an old man from the Warring States period, how could he not know?
Since Uchiha Shin could have his shadow clones activate it, it meant he could sustain them in battle.
For a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen faintly regretted pushing the Uchiha clan too hard.
"It's all that bastard Danzo's fault. If he hadn't repeatedly caused trouble, things wouldn't have developed to this point."
Sarutobi Hiruzen directly threw the blame onto Danzo.
He couldn't even help but complain about Danzo.
However, at this point, he was in a position where he couldn't back down.
Show weakness to Uchiha Shin?
That was absolutely impossible.
If he really did that, not only would it damage his side's morale, but it would also make Uchiha Shin see him as weak.
At this point, he could only press forward.
"No, I must prepare a way out for my family!"
Before victory, consider defeat.
He had tied his life and death to Konoha.
If this battle was won, he would continue to be the Hokage and enjoy his power.
If this battle was lost, then he would burn for Konoha one last time.
But his family must be able to escape after the defeat.
Because he knew that with Uchiha Shin's tough and rampant personality, if he won this war, he would definitely purge the Sarutobi clan.
Therefore.
While appearing calm on the surface to reassure the ninjas under his command, he discreetly made several hand signs behind his back.
Only the core members of the Sarutobi clan knew the meaning of these hand signs.
If an ordinary ninja saw them, they would at most think that Sarutobi Hiruzen was just casually stretching.
At this moment, a core member of the Sarutobi clan standing behind Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the hand signs he made.
His expression changed slightly, and he quietly disappeared from the ninja army.
Uchiha Shin's gaze swept across the Konoha army opposite him, but he did not notice that one person was missing from their ranks.
After all.
There were too many people on the other side.
And that person was not conspicuous.
His attention was mostly focused on those familiar faces.
After Uchiha Shin's inspection, he finally fixed his gaze on Sarutobi Hiruzen.
After staring for a few seconds, he suddenly grinned, "Sarutobi Hiruzen, let's fight!"
"Kill!!"
With Uchiha Shin's order.
The ten Susanoos attacked simultaneously.
Uchiha Shin's main body naturally targeted Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo.
The other nine Susanoos fanned out and charged towards the Konoha army.
Uchiha Tekka and Uchiha Yashiro led a group of Uchiha, following closely behind the Susanoos.
They also dispersed.
Because they only needed to be responsible for finishing off stragglers.
They didn't need to charge into the fray.
If things went wrong, they could just retreat.
"Kill!!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand fiercely, and an officer beside him immediately shouted the order.
In an instant, countless ninjas charged towards the ten Susanoos.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also summoned Enma at the first opportunity.
"Sarutobi, who is the enemy this time?"
An old monkey asked as soon as it appeared.
"The Uchiha have rebelled! He's the opponent!" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha Shin and said.
Enma followed Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze.
When he saw the ten Susanoos, the entire monkey was stunned.
"The opponent is that thing?"
