Yuki Seisui hid in the shadows, watching the Uchiha clan descend into chaos, feeling only irritation at the noise.
Uchiha Haru stood beside him, equally surprised by the disarray among the clan members.
She had no idea that her grandfather also possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Seisui had suspected it, but seeing Uchiha Setsuna awaken Susanoo in person made him feel like the entire world was a giant stage play.
At the center of the scene, Setsuna's massive Susanoo unleashed relentless attacks against the surrounding Uchiha ninja.
Every strike, every swing of the sword, targeted the radical faction.
Occasionally, it would strike someone outside the radicals, but who had been investigated as potentially dangerous and extreme.
As the head elder of the radical faction, Setsuna knew exactly who needed to be eliminated.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Fugaku, disguised as Hikae, and Hikae, disguised as Setsuna, patrolled the perimeter.
From time to time, they pulled people out of the battle and instructed them to leave.
The fatalities from this purge were already significant; every unnecessary death was a loss for the clan.
Those who were told to leave obeyed without hesitation.
Those are the legendary eyes!
Who wouldn't fear them?
The few who rushed forward did so out of loyalty to the clan and respect for the clan leader.
With instructions from the clan leader and elder to leave, they naturally felt no burden.
Who would want to die if they could survive?
As Susanoo continued its relentless assault, and with Fugaku and Hikae escorting people out, the battlefield gradually emptied, leaving only those selected for elimination.
"It's your turn."
Seisui looked at the dwindling numbers and nodded to Haru.
"Understood." Haru nodded, leaping forward. With a flick of her Gunbai, a massive fire tornado surged toward the red Susanoo.
Some Uchiha who hadn't yet left watched in excitement.
They believed the fiery tornado was aimed at that damned Uchiha Renka.
In reality, Haru's fire tornado swept behind the radical ninjas, catching them completely off guard.
The already small number of radicals dwindled to three or four.
"Haru-sama! What are you doing?!" one radical shouted.
"Of course… killing you!"
At that moment, Uchiha Haru formally entered the battlefield.
Before the radical could protest further, the enormous Susanoo swung its great sword downwards, pulverizing him into dust.
The remaining radicals, sensing danger, cautiously retreated toward Fugaku and Hikae, eyes darting toward Haru and "Uchiha Renka."
At that moment, Hikae, disguised as Setsuna, silently appeared behind two of them, throwing kunai—both were instantly killed.
The last one froze in terror, just as Fugaku appeared behind him.
"Let's begin!" Hikae removed his disguise and stepped back.
This was the final stage.
Two Susanoo would clash, performing for everyone's eyes.
At the same time, everything in the area would be destroyed.
This way, no one could reconstruct the scene afterward.
Haru nodded at Hikae's words and glanced at her grandfather, feeling a surge of determination.
Blue chakra flowed from her body, coalescing around her.
In an instant, a ten-meter-tall armored blue Susanoo appeared, visible to everyone.
Setsuna's Susanoo was at the third stage, while Haru's Susanoo was at the fourth stage.
The difference was clear: one wore armor, the other did not.
Haru's Susanoo was also more detailed and imposing, towering over Setsuna's by a head.
Haru's eyes glowed red. Her Susanoo drew its Kusanagi sword from its waist, swinging in a massive strike. She imbued the slash with ocular chakra, pulling everything toward it.
Objects around were lifted, shredded into pieces by the blade.
Kunitsukami's power manifests as attraction and repulsion. The force can be applied to objects, pulling everything toward them, or pushing everything away.
Now, Haru had applied attraction to the sword, drawing everything near—but the buildings and structures remained unharmed.
The gravity was strong but controlled; this was a performance, not a real attack.
The strength of Kunitsukami depends on the amount of ocular chakra infused.
Setsuna saw the incoming strike and did not evade, instead blocking with his Susanoo's sword.
The two Susanoo clashed, and the surrounding crowd scattered.
In the heart of Konoha, the battle between the two Susanoo caused a complete uproar.
Countless ninja ran toward the Uchiha clan.
Heads of the Hyuga, Aburame, and Inuzuka clans also hurried over.
Unlike ordinary ninja, they knew two Mangekyo users were fighting within the Uchiha.
"Stop right here."
Just as they prepared to enter, Yuki Seisui appeared suddenly, standing before them with a sword.
"The Hokage commands that no one enters here," he said casually.
His words stopped everyone in their tracks.
He ensured that no one approached from this direction; the ANBU would handle other directions.
"There's nothing to worry about here. Do what you need to do."
Seisui turned and walked toward the Uchiha clan.
Watching him, an Inuzuka jonin frowned.
"Do we go back?"
"No, wait here." The Aburame clan leader shook his head.
"Something serious is happening with the Uchiha."
"Not sure if it's them or…"
He trailed off, but everyone understood.
Since the death of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the Uchiha had been marginalized. If this disaster came from the Uchiha themselves, it was one thing—but if not… it could get interesting.
The crowd continued to swell.
