In the Hokage's office, seeing the conspicuous cloud of energy in the air, Hiruzen Sarutobi could no longer hold back.
He suddenly stood up, took off his civilian clothes, revealing the tight-fitting combat suit he had already put on. It seemed that Danzo was beyond his control and he had to take matters into his own hands.
"Yan, Koharu, you two stay here and be ready to call upon the various clans to fight at any time. Send a group of Anbu to the Ninja Academy to monitor Sasuke and Naruto. I will personally lead the Anbu to support Danzo."
After giving instructions to his two old buddies who had arrived not long ago, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes flashed with a cold light as he led the Anbu members toward the Uchiha clan's territory with great momentum.
Within the Uchiha clan
The Root ninjas were killed by Hyuga Kaze's earth-shattering attack, with more than 20 others missing limbs and lying on the ground groaning in pain. The Root members led by Shimura Danzo were reduced by nearly one-fifth in an instant.
Seeing the heavy casualties among the Root members, Itachi Uchiha was even angrier than Danzo. In his eyes, these were valuable fighting forces for Konoha.
In a fit of rage, Itachi activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, using the eye technique that best expressed his fury.
The dark, blazing Amaterasu flames suddenly appeared three inches away from Hyuga Kaze's body, trying to spread and extend inward, but were firmly blocked by an invisible force.
When Hyuga Kaze saw Amaterasu's flames, he chuckled and unleashed several sword energies to block the enemy. He then took out a scroll and sealed all the flames away.
Hyuga Kaze was completely unafraid of Amaterasu's flames; in fact, he was somewhat pleased. With the double protection of Yin-Yang Two Elements Heavenly Shield, Amaterasu was nothing more than a loud blast, unable to do anything to him.
It's good to seal it away and study it slowly later. The characteristics of this flame will be quite beneficial for him to comprehend and cultivate the Fire Chakra.
Seeing that Amaterasu's flames had failed, Itachi became even more vigilant.
Hyuga Kaze originally planned to clear out the grunts first, but he didn't expect Itachi to be so ungrateful. Since you want to protect Root so much, then I'll kill a few more.
"Uchiha Style: Thunder Flash"
Lightning flashed at Hyuga Kaze's fingertips, condensing into dazzling electricity. He then soared into the air, merging with the black vortex. The vortex expanded by another hundred meters, filled with dense arcs of lightning and booming thunder, its power astonishing.
"Earth Escape. Earth Flow Tower"
The Root ninjas worked together and used Earth Release to summon a sturdy building with a radius of 100 meters in an attempt to defend against the attack.
Boom! A deafening clap of thunder. The thunder was earth-shattering; the preceding sound waves alone caused everyone in the area to feel as if their eardrums were about to burst.
The next moment, more than a dozen blazing lightning bolts, as thick as buckets, tore through the night sky and pierced directly through the Root's defenses. After striking the ground, the lightning exploded, forming a dense net of lightning. The Earth Flow Castle was shattered, leaving behind countless charred trenches on the ground, as well as a large number of charred Root ninjas, who were all overcooked.
"asshole!"
Seeing this tragic scene, Itachi and Danzo were so enraged that their eyes widened in fury and they screamed uncontrollably.
Hearing the rolling thunder and witnessing the lightning strikes that seemed like divine punishment, the residents of Konoha Village grew increasingly terrified. Only eight years had passed since the Nine-Tails' rampage, and many still vividly remembered that tragic scene.
Immediately, the entire Hidden Leaf Village erupted in commotion.
The various clans of Konoha were very sensitive to the continuous changes. Although they were not fully aware of the Konoha leadership's plan to eliminate the Uchiha clan, they all sensed the unusual atmosphere and made some preparations in secret.
The Hyuga clan, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Aburame clan, and other major families all quietly began to gather their forces and prepare to relocate and seek refuge for their clan members.
At the Ninja Academy, Sasuke Uchiha and the other students also saw the striking lightning and began to make a ruckus.
Within the Uchiha clan
Hinata Kaze listened to Itachi and Danzo's angry shouts, but instead of taking them seriously, he felt intoxicated as if he were drinking fine wine. Being hated so much by these evil guys, he was indeed the one representing justice.
Staring at Itachi Uchiha, whose eyes were bleeding, Hyuga Kaze sneered, "As someone who slaughtered the Uchiha clan's newborn babies, young children, pregnant women, and ordinary old people making pancakes without any remorse, yet shows such pity and sympathy for these Root ninjas who killed their clansmen and gouged out the eyes of the Uchiha clan, you really are a hopeless bastard!"
Itachi resumed his rigid expression, with only a flash of anger occasionally appearing in his eyes. He coldly said, "What do you understand about the relationship between a village and a clan, the honor of the Uchiha clan!"
Obito and Danzo stood cautiously on the sidelines. The enemy in front of them was too strong, and it would be best to buy as much time as possible until more reinforcements arrived.
Hyuga Kaze understood their delaying tactics, but he didn't care. The cameras in the training room were constantly filming the scene. He would chat with them, uncover more dark secrets, and then compile and edit all the footage to give Konoha a big surprise.
"You, who personally annihilated the Uchiha clan, what right do you have to talk about glory? You are nothing but a selfish, cowardly, and incompetent bastard. You made a deal with the Konoha leadership, exchanging the lives of the entire Uchiha clan for your brother's survival. Compared to the Konoha leadership who have been deliberately smearing and weakening the Uchiha clan for years, you are far more sinister and twisted."
Itachi, who had been keeping a relatively calm demeanor, broke down completely upon hearing Sasuke's name!
"Shut up, you are not worthy to mention Sasuke's name, he is innocent."
Hyuga Kaze ignored the defeated dog's wailing and looked at Itachi with eyes that seemed to regard him as something filthy. "In your heart, only Sasuke is innocent. The rest of the Uchiha clan deserved to die, right? You're really filial to Hiruzen Sarutobi. Sometimes I really wonder if your surname is Uchiha or Sarutobi."
Ignoring the shuriken Itachi threw at him, Hyuga Kaze continued his attack, "Or perhaps, it's because your parents didn't raise you properly, turning you into this kind of guy who spouts righteousness but is actually just chasing his own twisted brother complex!"
Hyuga Kaze said this intentionally, to completely expose Itachi's perverted evil. This would be a greater blow to Mikoto, and she would be targeted even more by the remaining Uchiha clan members. Under these circumstances, if he showed her more care, wouldn't he be able to become Sasuke's stepfather?
Sensing a large group approaching the Uchiha clan's territory, Hyuga Kaze no longer hesitated. He pointed his finger to the sky and shouted, "Uchiha Style: Vast Ocean Waves!"
Everyone present was startled by the sound and instinctively looked up at the sky.
Unexpectedly, the next second, a change occurred from the fallen corpses at the base. Countless streams of blood gushed out from the corpses scattered on the ground, suddenly expanding and amplifying into a towering blood wave tens of meters high, spreading in all directions.
Normally, a blood wave or flood that is more than ten meters high would be easy for a Chunin or higher to dodge, but this blood wave carries a power that cuts straight to the mind. This attack actually attacks both the body and the spirit at the same time!
All the ninjas who couldn't recover from the mental attack in time were instantly engulfed by the blood wave and dissolved into nothingness, along with the corpses that were originally on the ground.
After the blood wave subsided, the ground within a radius of several hundred meters was spotless, as if it had been washed clean. Only thirty-odd elite Root members remained, along with Danzo, Obito, and Itachi!
