Chapter 214: The True Body Descends

A great shower of paper scraps burst out, scattering in all directions.

Fugaku, who had been standing beside the Second Hokage, was splattered all over and froze on the spot.

The Second Hokage is dead?!

And he died right before his eyes!

He had seen it clearly: the instant Ishihara revealed himself, he had already locked the Second Hokage's body with the Shadow Imitation Technique.

Only then did he swing his fist and blast the Second Hokage apart.

The entire process had no pause whatsoever; the secret technique was deployed as smoothly as flowing clouds and water.

It was simply art!

The art of killing!

Enough to chill the blood!

What horrified him even more was that he realized his own shadow had also been seized by Ishihara.

He jerked his head up, met Ishihara's icy gaze head-on, and a chill instantly seized his heart.

Then a fist rapidly swelled in his field of vision.

"Not good!"

"Susano'o!"

A massive purple skeleton instantly materialized and enveloped him.

Boom!

The terrifying monstrous strength sent Fugaku, wrapped within Susano'o, flying out in an instant; he smashed through a tree trunk and landed on the broken trunk.

Ishihara was about to continue his attack.

Swish, swish, swish!

From beneath the towering ancient tree at his feet, one after another vigorous, powerful vines shot up into the sky, charging toward him from every direction.

Ishihara dodged swiftly, his expression icy as he stared at the several members of the Uchiha clan opposite him.

"You ungrateful traitors — you actually dare to ambush me?! Are you ready to bear the brunt of my wrath?!"

Fugaku returned to Inaho and the others, his face an ugly sight to behold.

They were the proud Uchiha — and moreover, Mangekyo-awakened ones at that.

Yet now they were being publicly berated!

It was nothing less than trampling the Uchiha's pride and glory into the dirt over and over!

Rage blazed in Fugaku and the others' hearts; they clenched their fists and roared:

"It's you who went too far — actually treating our Uchiha clan like puppets to be ordered about!"

"We won't endure it any longer!"

Heh.

Hearing this, Ishihara laughed in spite of his fury and looked toward Inaho and the others.

"If not for me, do you think these wastes could have awakened the Mangekyo?!"

"You were originally the products of my experiments — isn't being my test subjects only natural?!"

Recalling all his past experiences, Fugaku ground his teeth in agony and said:

"Was that treating us as test subjects? You simply treated the Uchiha clan as expendable materials for your experiments — disposed of at will, with no regard for our dignity or our lives!"

Hearing this, Ishihara bared his teeth in a grin, his expression utterly cold.

"So between dignity and the Mangekyo, you've chosen dignity!"

"Since the Mangekyo was a gift I bestowed upon you, next I will personally strip it away — and then slaughter you ungrateful wretches!"

Uchiha Yahiro instantly flew into a rage and bellowed:

"Bastard — the Mangekyo Sharingan was originally ours to begin with! Do you have any idea what price we paid?!"

"We now have four pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan!"

"Not only can you not take our Mangekyo from us, you'll die beneath the very Mangekyo you yourself awakened!"

Ishihara looked at him with a half-smile.

The next instant!

Swish!

A figure abruptly appeared at his side — it was Ishihara's true body.

Boom!!!

A terrifying pressure was unleashed without the slightest restraint.

Uchiha Fugaku and the others instantly felt a crushing weight, as if a Mount Tai bore down on their hearts.

"What's going on?!"

The four of them, Fugaku included, stared in horror at the figure beside Ishihara; their pupils abruptly contracted.

"It's Ishihara's true body — he's appeared!!!"

On the other side.

The Second Hokage, who had just been resurrected from the Impure World Reincarnation, also stared at Ishihara in shock, a storm of astonishment surging in his heart.

He immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear beside the First Hokage and asked in a low voice:

"Big brother, why do I feel like the natural energy inside him is far, far more than yours?!"

"What on earth is going on?!"

Senju Hashirama drew a deep breath, his expression growing solemn.

"You're right — the natural energy inside this guy is even more than when I enter Sage Mode!"

Senju Tobirama's face changed drastically, and his gaze toward Ishihara filled with wariness.

Ishihara's Wood Release clone unraveled and dissipated, and everything that had just happened instantly flooded into Ishihara's mind.

His expression instantly turned ice-cold, and he looked toward Uchiha Yashiro with an emotionless face.

Hiss!!!

Uchiha Yashiro felt as though he was being stared down by a higher lifeform.

A terrifying pressure, a horrifying killing intent, as if to freeze his very soul, making his soul tremble with fear!

"It's over! I'm going to die! Going to die! Going to die!!!!"

Yashiro's mind went completely blank!

His body trembled madly!

Under that gaze like a higher being looking down, he despairingly discovered that even moving his body a single bit was a luxury.

He even seemed to have already seen his own death!
