Chapter 280
The sight before them left even Uchiha Madara, the masked man Uchiha Obito, and Black Zetsu momentarily stunned.
None of them had expected that the massive screen in mid-air would not only display still images—but actually broadcast live video across space.
And judging from the scene being shown, it was unmistakably Konohagakure.
---
"No way…"
"That's Konoha Village, isn't it?"
"It really is Konoha! Could this be some new jutsu—or perhaps a strange technology—developed by the Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yuta?"
The shinobi from the Allied Shinobi Forces whispered among themselves in shock. Their eyes widened, expressions frozen with disbelief.
Some who dared glance at the figure of the Fifth Hokage displayed on the screen found their bodies trembling uncontrollably. Even through an image, Uchiha Yuta's overwhelming presence made their souls shiver.
---
"Hah! So even video calls across distance are possible now?"
The first to break the silence was Senju Hashirama, the First Hokage resurrected through Edo Tensei. He laughed heartily.
"The Fifth Hokage really is full of surprises. Compared to him, we're completely behind the times."
"There's still no change in Konoha Village."
Beside him, the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama adjusted his gaze. "The Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta—has some impressive tricks. Having tamed the Nine-Tails, he's already prepared to face the entire Shinobi Alliance."
"Mm."
The Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, also nodded. Looking across the battlefield, he noticed figures like Terumi Mei, the Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure, Konan of Amegakure, shinobi from Takigakure, Sunagakure, and even Loulan. It was obvious that Yuta had prepared well.
But then, Minato's eyes froze. His body stiffened, surprise flashing across his face, followed by guilt and sorrow.
For on that same screen, he saw the boy with golden hair. Even in an instant, he recognized his own son—Uzumaki Naruto.
"Son… are you all right?"
Minato murmured quietly, suppressing his emotions. "Your mother and I… we're so sorry."
---
"Minato."
Hashirama turned toward him, his voice deep with meaning. "The Fifth Hokage has completely subdued Kurama. Your son can now wield the Nine-Tails' power freely."
"Yes. The famous scene we just witnessed wasn't only to suppress the Nine-Tails' pride, but also to grant Naruto complete control."
Tobirama folded his arms, thoughtful. "Compared to the monkey—Sarutobi Hiruzen—the Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yuta, is far more decisive."
At this point, Hashirama and Tobirama exchanged a knowing look. Both had already pieced together the reason Hiruzen had done so many questionable things: his strength alone was insufficient. To maintain control of Konoha, he had systematically weakened powerful clans and shinobi—targeting the Senju, the Uchiha, the Hyūga, even Hatake Sakumo and Hyūga Hizashi.
But all those schemes had unraveled the moment Uchiha Yuta appeared—an Uchiha who had silently endured for ten years, only to overturn everything at once.
---
"How could this be…"
At last, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had remained silent until now, could not hold back. His eyes reddened. He had never imagined that even here, in this moment, Yuta would humiliate him further by broadcasting such a scene for the entire world to see.
As the Hokage who had been overthrown, he felt only bitterness. Even in death, seeing Konoha thriving without him left his heart aching as though he had swallowed poison.
Once, everything in Konoha had belonged to me… and now? Now I am nothing but a rat scorned by all.
---
"Hahaha! The Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yuta, even made a live broadcast?"
"The Leaf doesn't look nervous at all—they're laughing at the Nine-Tails!"
"I see shinobi from Sunagakure, Kirigakure, Amegakure, Takigakure, Loulan, even the Land of Demons… Konoha's already gathered its allies."
"It's going to be a real show. Uchiha Yuta is about to reveal his true power."
---
Even the reanimated Kazekage of the past—First, Second, Third, and Fourth—as well as the Mizukage—First through Fourth—couldn't help but voice their awe.
Though bound by Edo Tensei under Uchiha Madara, their loyalties had shifted. From the beginning, they had secretly hoped Uchiha Yuta would prevail. And now, watching the "teleportation broadcast," their first thought was the same:
The Fifth Hokage is about to unleash something overwhelming.
