Crack!
Snap!
Snap!
With a mere thought from Mirai Uchiha, all the wooden arms wrapped around the Susanoo were easily snapped off.
The massive arena, large enough to hold ten thousand spectators, now seemed cramped in front of the Perfect Susanoo.
Witnessing this familiar scene, Hashirama Senju couldn't help but look astonished.
Having fought against Madara Uchiha—his lifelong rival and friend—he had come to understand the Mangekyo Sharingan quite well.
He never expected that another powerful figure possessing Kamui's power would emerge from the Uchiha Clan.
Moreover…
The opponent looked so young.
Without giving Hashirama Senju much time to think, the Susanoo raised its leg and stomped downward.
Boom!
The wooden shield created by [Giant Fang Shield Jutsu] was instantly shattered.
Unable to use techniques like the Wooden Human Technique, Wood Dragon Technique, or Thousand Hands Manipulation Force — Thrust, Hashirama could only retreat desperately under the overwhelming pressure of the Perfect Susanoo.
His body instinctively began retreating backward.
[Kamui!]
As Mirai Uchiha's ocular power surged, Hashirama's body was suddenly sliced cleanly in two.
Mirai dismissed her Susanoo. Surrounded by golden, transparent chakra, she appeared before Hashirama in an instant.
[Seal!]
The reincarnated body of Hashirama, recently restored through Impure World Reincarnation, became immobilized at once.
Seeing the battle end, Orochimaru knew his mission was complete and promptly vanished using [Shifting Body Technique].
The Impure World Reincarnation was also lifted.
Tobirama Senju snorted coldly, keeping his eyes closed without speaking.
Hashirama Senju looked at Mirai Uchiha with satisfaction: "You're Future, right?"
"The Uchiha Clan has finally produced a member who can be accepted by everyone. Your power is incredible, and you've saved the entire village..."
"Be sure to become Hokage!"
"I see the shadow of an old friend in you. Keep moving forward for both his unfulfilled dream and yours."
Smiling, Mirai Uchiha said, "First Hokage, we shall meet again soon."
"Eh?"
Under the confused gazes of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, the two disappeared.
From a distance, the spectators approached as well.
The Konoha ninja were all filled with excitement.
"Future-sama is truly amazing! She defeated two former Hokages so easily!"
"Even the First Lord, who possesses the Kekkei Genkai of Wood Release, couldn't win. Future-sama's power is terrifying indeed!"
"I finally saw the Perfect Susanoo. Mirai Uchiha, who wields such power, has to be a divine reincarnation!"
Compared to the excited Konoha ninja, Onoki, A, and Master Genjo wore grim expressions.
If Mirai Uchiha possesses such overwhelming strength, won't Konoha become the sole superpower in the ninja world going forward?
Their future was about to get a lot more difficult...
Looking at the surrounding crowd, Mirai Uchiha raised a hand toward the gathered people.
In an instant, absolute silence fell over the area.
Mirai pointed at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who remained bound nearby.
"All of this happened because of him."
"Secret human experiments, persecuting the village's hero, oppressing ninja clans, abusing authority, betraying allies, being harsh to insiders while weak against enemies, driving powerful villagers away, abandoning his Hokage duties for cowardly survival, hypocrisy, fearing death, and chasing false glory through endless lies..."
After listing Hiruzen's crimes, Mirai bellowed at the crowd: "Tell me, does a man like that deserve to be our Hokage?"
The Konoha ninja shouted back, raising their fists: "No! No! No!"
[Whoosh!]
A Mini-Rasenshuriken, the size of an eyeball, formed at his fingertip.
"Go!"
With a flick of his wrist, the Mini-Rasenshuriken shot toward the distant Hokage Rock.
Boom!
A violent explosion rang out, completely erasing Hiruzen's face from the Hokage Rock.
Seeing this, the Konoha ninja erupted into cheers.
A bastard like Hiruzen didn't deserve a place on the Hokage Rock!
Mirai proclaimed loudly: "Today, as captain of the Konoha Military Police Force, I hereby remove Hiruzen Sarutobi from his position as Hokage!"
"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"
"Make him atone for those he harmed!"
Hearing the furious cries from the crowd, Mirai led Hiruzen onto the arena platform.
Hiruzen stood silently, head bowed and hands bound behind his back.
He never thought he'd sink so low one day.
Not only had he lost the dignity of the Hokage, but he had also become public enemy #1.
Most importantly...
His image on the Hokage Rock had been erased.
This meant all he had accomplished during his rule would no longer be recognized.
That kind of pain was ten thousand times worse than simply killing him outright!
Standing behind Hiruzen, Mirai said: "Third, you've always loved showing off the most, haven't you? After your death, I'll make sure your story is written into the Ninja Academy textbooks. No matter how much time passes, people will never forget you."
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly felt dizzy.
"Mirai Uchiha, you've got a truly cold heart!"
Being disgraced wasn't enough punishment for him; he would forever be nailed to the pillar of historical shame...
Hiruzen Sarutobi hated himself for not choosing to end his life when he was captured and imprisoned!
Mirai Uchiha raised the bone blade in his hand high and sneered, "Victors become kings while losers become bandits. If you had won, I suppose my fate wouldn't have been much better."
[Whoosh!]
The bone blade swiftly swung down. Hiruzen Sarutobi's head rolled off the platform and bounced across the dusty ground for several meters.
The headless corpse lay face-down on the platform, blood spilling across the floor.
"The traitor is dead. Our village will surely grow stronger and stronger."
"From now on, I will temporarily take charge of everything in the village."
"This year's Chunin Exams are hereby concluded. You're all dismissed."
As Mirai Uchiha finished speaking, the crowd inside the arena began walking outside.
Excitement and thrill were clearly visible on everyone's faces.
Though this Chunin Exam fell short in the end, no one felt the slightest regret.
After all... A battle between rival Hokage candidates was far more thrilling than fights among low-ranked Chunin shinobi.
Especially when Mirai Uchiha used his Perfect Susanoo...
Those who missed witnessing it with their own eyes would surely regret it for the rest of their lives.
Once the crowd dispersed, only a few people remained behind—Shisui Uchiha, Hiashi Hyūga, and some others.
Staring at Hiruzen Sarutobi's corpse, Hiashi Hyūga's eyes turned red and moist. "Brother, you've avenged me... my beloved elder brother!"
Mirai Uchiha simply gave a few brief instructions before dismissing them all.
Eventually, the entire arena emptied out, leaving only Mirai Uchiha and Fugaku Uchiha, whose head was covered by a hood.
Seeing Fugaku frozen in shock, Mirai stepped forward and scoffed coldly, "Fugaku, can you finally see the truth with your eyes now?"
