Uchiha Kaze's formidable strength, his decisive methods.
Everything was deeply shaking Sarutobi Hiruzen's perception...
"Mental attacks can be used like this?!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was appalled in his heart.
Seizing the moment he was distracted, Kaze moved.
Not Body Flicker, but a stranger method.
His body seemed to melt into space, disappearing, and in the next second, he appeared directly behind Hiruzen!
"Hiraishin (Flying Thunder God)?! No, this is..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen gathered his mind and reacted immediately.
"Amenoshinra · Spatial Jump."
Kaze's voice was cold, his long sword stabbing towards Hiruzen's back.
"Don't even think about it!"
Hiruzen roared, and the Adamantine Staff instantly elongated, blocking behind him.
"Clang—!"
Another collision, but this time was different.
The Bijū Chakra on the blade suddenly exploded, turning into countless red tentacles wrapping around the Adamantine Staff, while simultaneously spreading towards Hiruzen's arm!
"This is... Kyūbi's Chakra eroding?!"
Hiruzen was shocked and immediately let go of the Adamantine Staff, retreating rapidly.
But Kaze was waiting for this exact moment.
"Got you."
Amenoshinra operated at full power. The space around Hiruzen began to solidify and compress.
Just like that Root ninja before, he felt his body being gripped by a giant invisible hand, unable to move!
"Damn it... Release!"
Hiruzen bit the tip of his tongue, using pain to stimulate his spirit, while erupting all his Chakra in an attempt to break through the spatial binding.
"It's useless."
"Once Amenoshinra takes form, unless I voluntarily release it, or your Chakra volume is more than ten times mine, it's impossible to break free."
"Farewell, Sandaime Hokage. Your era is over."
Kaze shook his head.
He walked slowly towards the trapped Hiruzen, raising his long sword.
The blade fell.
At the critical moment...
"Hiruzen!!!"
A hoarse roar rang out. The Adamantine Staff transformed from Enma suddenly flew up on its own, slamming fiercely into Kaze!
Kaze frowned and had to retract his sword to block.
"Clang!"
"Brat! Don't you dare hurt Hiruzen!"
At the moment of collision, the Adamantine Staff suddenly transformed. Enma's true form appeared, his hands firmly grasping Kaze's long sword.
"Summoned beast..."
"Truly... loyal."
A trace of impatience flashed in Kaze's eyes. His right eye rotated, and Amenoshinra activated again.
But this time, the target was not Enma, but Hiruzen behind him!
"Pu—!"
The crushing force of the space instantly increased several times. Hiruzen violently spat out a mouthful of blood; his internal organs felt like they were being crushed!
"Hiruzen!"
Enma cried out in grief, wanting to turn back to rescue him.
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already fallen to his knees.
Those turbid eyes had lost their last trace of luster.
No matter how Enma called out, Sarutobi Hiruzen could no longer give any response.
Enma reached out a trembling hand and heavily lifted Sarutobi Hiruzen from the ground.
"Uchiha... you..."
"Pu!"
Before Enma could continue speaking, the long sword in Kaze's hand had already pierced through him.
Trembling and in a state of anger, Enma turned into a puff of white smoke.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, having not even had time to release the Shiki Fūjin (Dead Demon Consuming Seal), had already become a corpse.
[Ding, host beheaded Sarutobi Hiruzen, reward Eternal Eyes.]
"Clap clap clap..."
Just as the system prompt sounded, another round of rhythmic applause came from the shadows.
Shimura Danzō, along with a group of Root ninjas behind him, filed out.
"Uchiha Kaze... very strong."
"But... as a village higher-up, elements like you Uchiha that seriously endanger the safety and stability of the village..."
"Must be uprooted!"
"Also, how much longer can those eyes of yours last?"
Shimura Danzō stared mockingly at Kaze.
His research on the Sharingan was very profound.
Undeniably, the Uchiha's Mangekyō indeed possessed power enough to change everything.
But...
The Mangekyō also had its fatal flaw.
That was... the Mangekyō had a backlash among Kekkei Genkai that was absolutely impossible to erase.
Controlling the Kyūbi, starting the Kyūbi Incident.
Using Mangekyō abilities multiple times, killing Sarutobi Hiruzen.
In Shimura Danzō's eyes, the current Uchiha Kaze was already a spent arrow.
"Really confident!"
"The rat hiding in the gutter finally dares to pop its head out?"
Kaze raised his eyebrows.
Although he knew Shimura Danzō wouldn't help Sarutobi Hiruzen, he didn't expect this guy to dare to be so obvious.
"After tonight, no matter how crazy you are, there will be no more Uchiha."
"Do it!"
After Shimura Danzō gave the order, he began to unwrap the bandages on his arm.
The Root ninjas behind him rushed excitedly towards Kaze one by one.
"No, really? Shimura Danzō tells you to charge, and you actually dare to charge?"
"Did you forget something..."
"The Kyūbi is still under my control..."
Kaze couldn't suppress the corner of his mouth at all.
He clapped his hands together.
"Kyūbi!"
With a soft shout, the Kyūbi, originally in the distance, instantly appeared behind Kaze.
The Kyūbi at this moment no longer had three tails, but all nine tails were out.
"Boom boom boom..."
Frenzied attacks immediately locked onto those raiding Root ninjas.
The change came too fast. Even these well-trained Root ninjas couldn't dodge at all.
All were smashed into the ground.
"Susanoo!"
A half-body Crow Tengu Susanoo suddenly appeared, and a huge orange-red Yata Mirror blocked in front of the Kyūbi.
Uchiha Itachi made his move.
"You lose!"
"Kotoamatsukami!"
Taking advantage of Uchiha Itachi attracting attention, Shimura Danzō used Body Flicker to appear in front of Kaze.
A pinwheel-shaped Sharingan peered directly into Kaze's eyes.
"Even if you have the power to reflect Genjutsu."
"But, the current you... already... has no such opportunity."
A triumphant smile appeared at the corner of Shimura Danzō's mouth.
Those Root ninjas died... so let them die!
His goal was achieved!
Of the existing Mangekyō in the Uchiha, one was with him.
Uchiha Itachi had also been controlled.
Now, after killing Uchiha Kaze, he would obtain another complete pair of Mangekyō.
Next, Konoha would be his!
Raising the kunai in his hand, he slashed at Uchiha Kaze.
Subsequently, under Shimura Danzō's leadership, the suppression of the Uchiha was quickly completed.
All Uchiha, young and old.
All exterminated!
After suppressing the Uchiha, the other ninja clans in the village dared not resist Shimura Danzō in any way.
The position of Godaime Hokage naturally fell into his hands.
"Hehehe... Hahahaha!"
"Konoha, only in my Shimura Danzō's hands, can..."
"Pu!"
Just as Shimura Danzō was laughing on the spot, severe pain pulled him back to reality.
"Masaka (Impossible)?!"
"My hand..."
Shimura Danzō turned his head slightly, looking at his empty right arm.
