Chapter 204

He knew the Second Hokage, his teacher, all too well.

Although he had concealed the intelligence, the fact that the Uchiha clan was about to wage war on the Konoha leadership was undeniable.

Under ordinary circumstances, the Second Hokage might have sacrificed him to stabilize the Uchiha clan.

But the current Uchiha were too strong!

Three pairs, or even more, of Mangekyō Sharingan—even if the Second Hokage were alive, he would have been extremely wary.

How could he possibly allow such an Uchiha clan to continue growing stronger!

Moreover, the Second Hokage himself had already labeled the Uchiha as an 'evil clan'!

So Danzō knew clearly that once the Second Hokage was summoned, there would be no need for him to manipulate things further.

His only worry was whether the Second Hokage would discover what he had done and punish him.

"The Uchiha clan thinks this is their most glorious peak, unaware that it is also the beginning of their decline!"

"Let's go and see how the Uchiha clan is defeated!"

Danzō calmly led his people outward.

He was immensely confident in the strength of the First Hokage and the Second Hokage.

Several figures burst out of the Uchiha compound, sprinting at full speed.

This was the Uchiha five-man squad: Fugaku, Itachi, Inaho, Yashiro, and Hatake.

Itachi had also been called by Fugaku to join the operation.

Fugaku was at the front; his activated three-tomoe had transformed into the Mangekyō state. He stared straight ahead at the location of the Root organization base and shouted lowly:

"Do not give Danzō any chance! Strike immediately upon arrival! Prepare..."

"Yes!"

Whoosh, whoosh!

The First Hokage and the Second Hokage appeared on the roof of a house, looking very satisfied with the peaceful Konoha of today.

Especially upon seeing the playing children, the two felt even better.

This was the Konoha they wanted!

But suddenly, the two looked toward the distance.

There, five figures with terrifying auras were approaching rapidly, and as they drew closer, their auras continued to increase.

Senju Tobirama's face changed drastically, filled with utter disbelief.

"This feeling... it is very much like the chakra of an activated Mangekyō! But how is it possible? Five people?!"

"Tobirama, is your perception not mistaken? Five people have activated the Mangekyō?!"

The First Hokage shuddered all over and asked seriously.

He currently possessed none of his life's strength; five pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan, if their ocular jutsu were bizarre, might prove quite troublesome.

Senju Tobirama took a deep breath, his pupils trembling.

"There is no mistake; it is absolutely five pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan!"

Danzō, who had just walked out of the Root organization base, heard these words and nearly stumbled, his face turning pale with horror.

"Damn it, has Fugaku gone mad? He actually activated five pairs of Mangekyō?!"

He was immensely relieved that he had immediately performed the Impure World Reincarnation upon his return.

Otherwise, facing such an Uchiha, he and the people of Root would have had no power to resist.

"They are truly too arrogant!"

Seeing Fugaku and the others release their auras without restraint, Tobirama's face turned cold. "Brother!"

"I understand!"

The First Hokage stepped forward, and then his chakra erupted violently.

Boom!!

The terrifying aura directly tore apart the roof tiles; the shockwave from the exploding chakra flew outward mixed with shattered tiles.

"Stop!"

Fugaku felt this astonishing aura, and his face changed drastically.

His gaze fell upon the First Hokage; Fugaku's pupils shrank sharply, and his expression became incredibly grave.

"This is trouble! That bastard Danzō used the Impure World Reincarnation to resurrect the First Hokage and the Second Hokage!"

The Uchiha, who had once been enemies of the First Hokage, naturally understood the terrifying strength of the First Hokage.

That was a legend!

That was a myth!

It had pressed the entire Uchiha clan until they could barely breathe!

Inaho and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with wariness.

Even their auras weakened slightly.

Seeing this, Fugaku's heart sank. This would not do. He said heavily:

"Do not be afraid. The Impure World Reincarnated First Hokage does not possess his life's strength. And do not forget, we have five pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Inaho and the others immediately felt reassured.

That's right, they had five pairs of Mangekyō!

So what if it was the First Hokage!

Itachi, expressionless, landed before the First Hokage, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"This is the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama. I wonder if he can defeat Ishihara!"

He took a deep breath, daring not to think further.

Fugaku watched his clansmen, who had rallied once more, and felt a weight lift from his heart, yet his expression remained extremely grave.

"Tobirama, why can the Uchiha clan awaken so many Mangekyō Sharingan? Tell me the details carefully!"

Hashirama Senju stared gravely at Fugaku and the others, but his words were directed at Danzō.

Danzō knew he could not conceal it, so he revealed the intelligence regarding Ishihara.

"... The summoning of the Second Hokage via the Impure World Reincarnation was perfected by that Ishihara; he should still be in that courtyard!"

The First Hokage and the Second Hokage wore expressions of extreme gravity.

Danzō would not lie to them about intelligence that could be verified so quickly.

The Second Hokage exhaled a long breath, filled with awe.

(Got Zhao)

"To perfect my Impure World Reincarnation technique at merely six or seven years old!"

"To master space-time ninjutsu before even learning my Flying Thunder God Technique!"

"His genjutsu abilities are more terrifying than the Mangekyō Sharingan!"

"His taijutsu power rivals the Eight Gates Released Formation!"

"He is suspected to have additionally mastered a vast array of secret techniques, forbidden jutsu, and even Kekkei Genkai!"

"From this, one can infer that his nature transformations and shape transformations for all five chakra natures have likely reached an extremely high level!"

"Even Yin-Yang Release is the same!"

"Truly... a monster!"

The Second Hokage's heart could not settle.

He was even unwilling to believe such a person existed in reality.

Such a person should not exist!

The Second Hokage looked toward the direction where Ishihara was located, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

"It is not just that!"

The First Hokage's expression was equally grave. "If my senses do not deceive me, that child has already mastered Wood Release!"
