Chapter 225: Fugaku, Uchiha Yashiro! (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Votes)
The theft of Uchiha Kōta's Sharingan sent shockwaves through the Uchiha Clan.
Although Uchiha Fugaku knew the truth, he put on an act, immediately dispatching many clan members to pursue the culprits.
Namikaze Minato also sent elite Anbu to cooperate in tracking the enemy.
At this point, the impact throughout Konoha wasn't significant.
However.
Two days later, when Shimura Dan returned with a severed arm.
And two days after that, Sarutobi Shinya was brought back heavily injured, the entire Konoha was shaken.
After all, this was no longer just about the Uchiha's Sharingan, but a Kekkei Genkai.
Namikaze Minato immediately ordered Konoha's intelligence agencies to go all out.
Simultaneously, Minato sent messengers to allies, including Sunagakure, hoping for intelligence sharing.
With such a large-scale operation, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and even the reclusive Kirigakure all received news.
An organization called the Tenshin Group, specializing in targeting ninjas with Kekkei Genkai, had appeared.
First, they stole the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan, followed by the severe injuries of Sarutobi Shinya and Shimura Dan, both ninjas with Kekkei Genkai.
These two were the brother of a Ninja Demigod and the disciple of a Ninja Demigod, respectively.
Except for Kirigakure, Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure paid significant attention.
On January 24th, Year 56 of Konoha.
After glancing at the intelligence handed to him by Kushina, Namikaze Minato immediately ordered, "Please have Clan Head Fugaku come over!"
Half an hour later.
Uchiha Fugaku led two squads and left Konoha, heading straight for the Land of Earth.
According to the intelligence, the Tenshin Group had appeared in the Land of Falls.
The two squads led by Uchiha Fugaku this time were: one reconnaissance squad composed of members from the Hyuga Clan, Aburame Clan, and Yamanaka Clan.
The other squad was led by Uchiha Yashiro, who also possessed the Mangekyo, accompanied by Jonin Sarutobi Amayo and Jonin Taneshiga Sagara.
Including Uchiha Fugaku, there were a total of seven people, all Jonin level.
The group tracked their way, entering the Land of Earth from the Land of Falls.
Beneath the Sage Tree.
Sarutobi Asuma held a crystal ball, preparing to watch the show. However, receiving information from a clone in his mind, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "The Akatsuki Organization is quite quick to react!"
The Akatsuki Organization, or rather, Zetsu, had set its sights on the Tenshin Group.
"Let them take the bait!"
Sarutobi Asuma chuckled softly.
A grand drama was about to unfold.
Near the border of the Land of Earth.
On towering stone pillars, Clone Bianming and Clone Tsuchigami watched Uchiha Fugaku and his group approach.
The battlefield was chosen well here.
Once the fight started and the commotion grew, it would alert the border patrol units of Iwagakure.
"You shall stop here!"
Upon seeing the enemy from a distance, Uchiha Fugaku ordered.
"Clan Head Fugaku, isn't this too dangerous?"
Sarutobi Amayo asked.
Uchiha Fugaku's expression was solemn and grave, "This will be a fierce battle, and it's unlikely you'll be able to help much if you go."
"Most importantly, we need you to intercept any potential third party or alert us before more enemies appear."
"According to the current intelligence, this Tenshin Group consists of six people in total."
Taneshiga Sagara nodded upon hearing this, "Clan Head Fugaku is right. Although we've only confirmed two people in this vicinity, we can't let our guard down."
Sarutobi Amayo nodded and said no more.
Thus, the others remained behind, while Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Yashiro pressed forward, approaching the towering stone pillars.
When they were less than 100 meters from the stone pillars, Uchiha Fugaku reminded them, "The real battle is about to begin!"
"Show them your full strength, display the power of our Uchiha Clan!"
He knew this was a performance, but also a stage to showcase abilities.
Uchiha Yashiro, unaware of the inner workings, nodded solemnly, his fighting spirit surging.
He understood his clan head's intentions.
To showcase the Uchiha's formidable power, to tell those outside who covet the Uchiha's Sharingan that the Uchiha are not to be trifled with!
Quietly, the Mangekyo awakened.
On the stone pillar, Clone Bianming chuckled, "You've got quite the fighting spirit!"
"We can't let Clan Head Fugaku down!"
"Then let's begin!"
Clone Tsuchigami said, crouching down and placing his hands on the stone pillar.
"Here it comes!"
Uchiha Fugaku grunted.
From a distance, Sarutobi Amayo and the others watching also focused, "It's starting!"
Rumble!
As far as the eye could see, stone pillars shot up from the ground.
Uchiha Fugaku, as if he had foreseen it, easily dodged the stone pillar rising beneath his feet.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Yashiro was carried skyward with a rising pillar, as Clone Bianming on another pillar opened his mouth.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Highly concentrated wind spheres, like bullets, broke the sound barrier and shot towards Uchiha Yashiro.
Uchiha Yashiro leaped, soaring across the stone pillars, dodging the high-speed air bullets.
The air bullets grazed past him, then bang bang bang, they impacted the stone pillars behind him, completely piercing through the thick, three-to-four-meter pillars.
Some even pierced through two thick stone pillars in succession.
On the ground, Uchiha Fugaku also faced attacks – sharp, incredibly hard earth spikes that continuously emerged from underground.
His body swayed, time and again perfectly avoiding the earth spikes that appeared without any pattern, as he steadily approached the stone pillar where the clones were.
Scratch!
Suddenly, the robe on Uchiha Yashiro's shoulder was grazed and torn by a wind sphere bullet.
"These two cooperate too seamlessly. If not for the Sharingan, I would have been pierced by his Wind Style already!"
"Still 20 meters to go…"
After dodging another attack, Uchiha Yashiro's eyes locked onto the two on the stone pillar, activating his ocular jutsu.
Instantly, Clone Bianming and Clone Tsuchigami on the stone pillar stiffened.
Following that, they were controlled like puppets, drawing kunai and simultaneously turning to face each other.
And almost simultaneously, a colossal fist descended from the sky.
Boom!
The stone pillar collapsed, dust billowing.
From afar, Sarutobi Amayo and the others watched with wide eyes at the massive, crimson figure.
"This chakra…"
"As expected of the Uchiha Clan Head!"
"At this level, it's no wonder they say we can't help at all…"
"The enemy should be dealt with by now, right?"
Exclamations followed one after another.
At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku was encased in a crimson Susanoo, which had already formed its two legs into a giant humanoid shape.
"Clan Head, they broke free from my ocular jutsu!"
Uchiha Yashiro was shocked.
Those two had broken free from his genjutsu in an incredibly short amount of time.
That Sealing Technique wasn't an ordinary genjutsu; it was a Mangekyo ocular jutsu!
His left eye possessed the Sealing Technique, and his right eye controlled Puppet Manipulation.
It had taken him years to master these two eyes.
Before awakening his Mangekyo, even the Clan Head would have needed at least 3 seconds to break free.
And at a certain distance, that amount of time was more than enough to kill someone.
But now, these two had broken free in less than a second.
This genjutsu ability was even more powerful than the Clan Head's before awakening his Mangekyo.
"As expected…"
Uchiha Fugaku marveled inwardly, then shouted, "I'll cooperate with you next!"
"Understood!"
Uchiha Yashiro suppressed his emotions, and the next moment, his chakra erupted, and a blue Susanoo stood tall.
Uchiha Fugaku dispersed his Susanoo, leaped onto the shoulder of Uchiha Yashiro's Susanoo.
"They're here!"
Uchiha Fugaku shouted.
As the dust settled, a colossal stone fist whistled through the air, wielded by a massive rock giant.
Earth Style: Rigid Form Technique!
Boom!
Fist met fist, and a terrifying shockwave exploded. Immediately after, both the rock giant and Uchiha Yashiro's Susanoo had their fists and arms completely shattered.
From the top of the rock giant, Clone Tsuchigami clapped his hands together. On either side of the Susanoo, two massive hemispherical boulders rose up, closing in on the Susanoo from both sides.
Rumble!
The Susanoo braced with its arms, blocking the two giant boulders.
Just then, a wind sphere attacked.
On the Susanoo's shoulder, Uchiha Fugaku once again used Susanoo, but he only condensed an arm of the skeleton for defense. It was then struck by the wind sphere and collapsed, but he had managed to block it.
His Mangekyo Sharingan was activated through his own power, so it wasn't an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and he couldn't expend his eye power as freely as Uchiha Yashiro.
At this moment.
The Stone Ninjas, hearing the commotion, arrived and widened their eyes as they witnessed the scene.
"Quick, there's an enemy invasion!"
The leading Stone Ninja Jonin shouted.
That Earth Style was entirely the ninjutsu of their Stone Village!
However, as they got closer, they realized that the attackers were not ninjas from their Stone Village at all.
And on the other side were Konoha ninjas.
"What's going on?"
"Who exactly are those two?"
"Also, those are Konoha ninjas. That chakra giant is just too powerful!"
The Stone Ninjas stopped.
The leading Stone Ninja Jonin suddenly remembered something and said, "Those two are likely ninjas from the Tenshin Group who recently attacked Konoha's Kekkei Genkai users!"
"Yes, it must be them!"
Just then, Uchiha Yashiro's Susanoo transformed again, manifesting a Chakra Blade. Uchiha Yashiro's figure also appeared in the head of the Susanoo.
Rumble!
The Susanoo swung its blade, and the rock giant was immediately cut in half, collapsing with a crash.
As Uchiha Fugaku was about to seize the opportunity to attack, fierce winds began to swirl around the Susanoo, forming a tornado filled with dense wind blades. With high-speed rotation, they continuously crushed inward.
"Clan Head, be careful! This should be the powerful Wind Style ninjutsu that Kōta mentioned!"
Uchiha Yashiro shouted, controlling the Susanoo to swing the Chakra Blade in his hand, cutting towards the crushing storm.
The Chakra Blade collided with the densely packed, crushing wind blades, emitting clear ringing sounds.
Boom!
The storm was cut open and then transformed into rolling gales that swept out in all directions.
But at the same time, the Chakra Blade of Uchiha Yashiro's Susanoo also shattered with a cracking sound.
And Uchiha Fugaku on the Susanoo's shoulder had now completed his hand signs.
Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique!
Six fire dragons spewed forth from Uchiha Fugaku's mouth, merging into the outward-sweeping gales.
For a time, what was initially just a simple gale sweeping outwards had now become a firestorm.
"As expected of the Clan Head!"
Clone Bianming praised.
The timing was perfectly judged.
However, he guessed that Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyo Sharingan's dōjutsu was most likely predictive.
For example, being able to see the scene of the next second.
Uchiha Fugaku's performance before was always precise, hitting the mark perfectly.
Clone Tsuchigami said nothing.
A stone wall rose from the ground in front of him, meeting the firestorm.
And a short distance away, the Stone Ninjas' expressions changed drastically.
"Fall back!"
The Stone Ninja Jonin shouted, ordering his subordinates to retreat.
This kind of battle was too terrifying!
In the midst of the rolling flames, the two clones rapidly sank into the ground.
The Uchiha's power had been revealed, enough to shake the Stone Ninjas.
Next, it was time to strike at the other villages.
That was the main event!
