Chapter 150

A cold glint flashed through Danzo's eyes as he said coldly, "Since you are obstinate and unrepentant, don't blame me for being impolite."

He abruptly raised his hand and shouted sternly, "Move out!"

Voice not yet fallen, a powerful chakra fluctuation instantly swept across the entire clan compound. Dense runes suddenly lit up on the ground, spreading rapidly like living things.

In the blink of an eye, a massive barrier formed, enveloping everyone within it.

Fugaku's pupil shrank, his Sharingan spinning rapidly, instantly seeing through the sealing array's nature. He said coldly, "A concealment barrier? Danzo, you planned this long ago!"

This special barrier could not only completely isolate the interior from the outside world, but also block sound and visuals, making it impossible for the outside to detect anything happening inside.

"Heh heh, not a single one of you traitors thinks of leaving!" Danzo laughed coldly, waving his hand to give the order.

Voice not yet fallen, the surrounding Anbu ninja suddenly erupted into action.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Lightning Release: Lightning Pillar!"

In an instant, fireballs, water dragons, and lightning pillars descended overwhelmingly upon the Uchiha clansmen.

Fugaku's heart sank. At this moment, the majority of the clan's elites had already rushed to the battlefield frontlines to support the fighting; those left behind were mostly the old, weak, women, and children. The current situation was extremely unfavorable for the Uchiha Clan.

"Damn it!" Fugaku let out a low roar, his eyes snapping shut; when they opened again, the three tomoe in his eyes had already transformed into the Mangekyou shape.

"Boom!"

With a deafening boom, black chakra surged out from Fugaku's body like a sky-reaching tsunami. In a flash, a gigantic skeleton appeared out of thin air, rapidly expanding to dozens of meters tall.

Susanoo's muscles covered the skeleton like flowing water, coalescing into form in the blink of an eye. A gigantic black giant stood in the center of the clan compound, gripping a massive Ame-no-Nuboko in its hand.

"Get lost!"

Fugaku roared in rage, swinging the Ame-no-Nuboko. In an instant, fireballs, water arrows, wind blades, and other ninjutsu were smashed to pieces, turning into specks of light that dissipated in the air.

A dozen or so Anbu at the very front were instantly swept away, flying into the air like kites with cut strings.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The Anbu ninja crashed into the barrier one after another with dull thuds, then fell to the ground like tattered sacks, vomiting blood, limp on the ground.

Seeing this, a trace of surprise and annoyance flashed through Danzo's eyes: "Hiding your strength, yet still claiming you have no ulterior motives! Uchiha Fugaku, you are proving your own guilt!"

Danzo looked at Fugaku's Mangekyou, a trace of desire revealing itself in his eyes.

Fugaku sneered: "Danzo, you claim to act for Konoha's sake, yet behind the scenes you engage in these dirty dealings. Secretly raising private soldiers, assassinating dissidents — today I will clean house for the Hokage!"

Hearing this, Danzo's face turned dark as water. He abruptly waved his hand and shouted sternly, "All-out attack, take down Uchiha Fugaku!"

Fugaku sneered, the Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes spinning wildly.

He took a step forward, the massive Susanoo violently swinging the Ame-no-Nuboko forward; the ground cracked open, unable to bear the tremendous weight.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

The voices of several Root ninja rang out almost simultaneously. In an instant, the ground trembled violently, as if some colossal thing were writhing underground.

In the blink of an eye, several towering earth walls rose from the ground, completely surrounding Fugaku's Susanoo.

"Hmph, trifling skill." Fugaku disregarded it entirely, controlling Susanoo to swing the Ame-no-Nuboko.

"Boom!"

A massive shockwave swept out; the nearest earth wall instantly turned to dust. However, more earth walls kept surging forth, seemingly endless.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

Several loud shouts rang out simultaneously; Fugaku looked up to see several gigantic water dragons diving down from the sky. The water dragons let out deafening roars, carrying mountain-crushing momentum as they slammed into Susanoo.

The water dragons coiled and entangled, like a giant python dead-set on binding Susanoo, but Susanoo stood immovable.

Just then, the massive volume of water brought by the water dragon bullets rapidly filled the space enclosed by the earth flow walls.

Fugaku's brow furrowed as he sensed something was wrong. Right at this moment, several voices rang out:

"Lightning Release: Lightning Conduction!"

Dazzling blue-white light suddenly burst forth in Fugaku's field of vision. Several thick lightning pillars shot from afar, precisely striking the water currents encircling Susanoo.

Crackle!

Electric current spread instantly through the water currents, forming an airtight lightning net around Susanoo in the blink of an eye.

Lightning wildly assaulted Susanoo's chakra outer shell, emitting deafening cracking sounds.

The black Susanoo's surface flickered continuously; Fugaku's brow furrowed slightly, at this moment feeling waves of stabbing pain spread through his whole body.

However the next moment, a trace of coldness flashed through Fugaku's eyes. Susanoo slowly raised its right hand, gripping the Ame-no-Nuboko tightly.

"Break for me!"

With a low shout, the Ame-no-Nuboko violently swung. Terrifying power instantly erupted; the surrounding water currents and lightning net evaporated and dissipated in a single strike.

Several Root ninja at closer range had no time to dodge, directly swept away by this blow, crashing heavily into distant earth walls, vomiting blood.

However before Fugaku could attack again, several Root ninja figures sprang into the air like falcons.

"Wind Release: Great Wind Pressure!"

Their hands formed hand seals at flying speed; in an instant, a massive airflow visible to the naked eye coalesced into form, rushing straight at Fugaku's Susanoo.

Subsequently, several Root ninja pulled out giant scrolls from behind, flicked their wrists, and the scrolls rapidly unfurled.

Bang! Then, after a burst of white mist, countless kunai wrapped with explosive tags instantly launched forth.

Driven by the violent wind pressure, these weapons' speed and power surged violently, sweeping toward Susanoo like a metal storm.

Fugaku's eyes narrowed slightly, controlling Susanoo to swing the Ame-no-Nuboko.

"Boom!"

The Ame-no-Nuboko traced an arc, instantly cleaving the onrushing wind pressure. However, right at this moment, countless explosive tags detonated in a chain reaction in midair.

"Boom rumble!"

Deafening explosion sounds resounded through the entire battlefield, flames soared to the heavens, smoke and dust permeated the air. Susanoo was submerged in a sea of fire.

"Got it?" A Root ninja's eyes flashed with a hint of joy.

"Not enough!" Danzo said coldly, quickly forming hand seals. "Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere Serial Shot!"

He suddenly stepped forward, spitting out a continuous string of huge wind spheres from his mouth. These wind spheres spun at high speed, howling as they charged toward Susanoo. Boom boom boom! The wind spheres violently collided with Susanoo's chakra shell, emitting deafening explosions.

Black chakra surged violently like boiling water, and Susanoo's form became blurred.

Suddenly, Fugaku's expression changed. Only to see a wind sphere actually break through Susanoo's defense, directly slamming into his body.

"Not good!"

Fugaku reacted instantly, his figure flickering. But he was still a step too slow; his right arm was grazed by the wind sphere, instantly carving a wound deep enough to see bone. Blood gushed out immediately, staining half of his sleeve red.

"Damn it!" Fugaku gritted his teeth and growled, enduring the pain as he controlled Susanoo to retreat several steps.

At the same time, the situation within the clan compound also became dire. The Uchiha clan members fought desperately to resist, but facing the well-trained Root ninjas, casualties began to occur.

Cries and curses rose and fell, the entire clan compound fell into chaos. Blood stained the ground, and the air was filled with a nauseating stench of blood.

At this moment, Fugaku's expression instantly turned grim.

"Enough!"

Fugaku roared, violently pouring chakra into the Ame-no-Mihashira, then fiercely stabbed it into the ground.

"Boom!"

A massive shockwave spread outward from him as the center. The ground shook violently, dust flying. This strike was like an invisible barrier, instantly separating the Uchiha clan members and the Root ninjas.

Fugaku shouted loudly: "Uchiha Clan, immediately retreat to the center of the clan compound!"

The clansmen moved upon hearing the sound, quickly retreating backward.

Fugaku saw the clansmen begin to retreat; he lowered his head to look at his still-bleeding right arm, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Since you've forced me to this point, don't blame me."

Fugaku reached out to dip into the blood on his arm, quickly forming hand seals.

His movements were fast as lightning; the Root ninjas hadn't reacted yet when they heard him shout in a low voice: "Summoning Technique!"

"Bang!"

With a huge bang, a cloud of white smoke instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.

In the smoke, a suffocating oppressive feeling came rushing over, as if something terrifying was about to appear.

"Summoning Technique?"

Danzo narrowed his eyes, warily staring at the smoke.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank violently; only to see a huge claw reach out from the smoke, heavily slapping onto the ground.

"Boom!"

The entire battlefield shook, the ground cracked, dust flying.

The smoke gradually dispersed, and everyone involuntarily looked up.

The next moment, the entire battlefield fell into a strange silence. Everyone's face was filled with shock and fear; some even forgot to breathe.

Only to see a black monster unbelievably huge suddenly appear in the center of the battlefield. Its whole body was pitch black like ink, its skin covered with hard scales, shining with a cold luster under the sunlight. It had huge horns on its head and spikes all over its tail, looking ferocious and terrifying.

Moreover, this giant beast stood over two hundred meters tall, like a moving small mountain. It looked down at the humans below, as if looking at ants.

"What... what kind of monster is this?" a Root ninja said trembling.

Fugaku stood on the Poisonous Woman's head, looking down at the stunned Danzo, coldly saying: "Danzo, didn't you want to see the Uchiha Clan's trump card? Now, I'll let you see it well!"

His voice hadn't fallen when the Poisonous Woman howled at the sky. That sound was like a roar from hell, shaking everyone on the battlefield to involuntarily cover their ears.

The next second, this colossus suddenly charged forward, the huge horns on its head pointing straight at the barrier.

"Boom!"

A deafening huge bang, the solid barrier shattered like glass. Fragments scattered, flashing with dazzling light under the sunlight. The moment the barrier shattered, a powerful shockwave swept out, overturning the surrounding trees and buildings.

The entire Konohagakure was startled by this huge bang. Villagers walked out of their doors one after another, looking up at the sky, only to see a huge monster standing in the center of the village, fear instantly enveloping everyone.

At the same time, a commotion came from the direction of Konoha Hospital.

Inside the ward, Minato Namikaze painfully propped himself up, his face pale as paper. Through the window, he saw that unbelievably huge black giant beast.

"What... what is going on?" Minato muttered, a flash of shock in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth, enduring the pain in his body, struggling to stand up, intending to go to the battlefield.

On the battlefield

Danzo's face was dark as iron; he glared at Fugaku, sternly shouting: "Uchiha Fugaku! Are you crazy? Are you trying to destroy the entire Konohagakure?"

"I destroy Konoha? Danzo, it's you who wants to destroy Konoha!" Fugaku's gaze looked directly at Danzo, "And I am saving Konoha, saving it from being poisoned by an ambitious person like you."

Danzo, hearing this, the muscles on his face twitched once. He gritted his teeth and said: "Do you think you can do as you please with a monster that has no chakra? Don't forget, this is Konoha!"

Just at this moment, more than ten figures appeared around the battlefield like ghosts; they were ANBU ninjas, holding weapons, looking at everything before them with serious expressions.

The ANBU Commander stood at the very front, his voice steady and firm: "Uchiha Fugaku, Shimura Danzo! Your actions are endangering the entire Konohagakure; stop fighting immediately, otherwise we will take compulsory measures!"

"ANBU?" Fugaku, hearing this, hooked a cold smile at the corner of his mouth: "Hehe, you've long seen through Danzo's actions, right? How many shameful deeds has he done with Root? Hiruzen Sarutobi only turned a blind eye to his teammate! Are you maintaining Konoha's order, or maintaining power?"

The expression under the ANBU Commander's mask was hard to fathom; his voice remained calm: "Konoha's order is decided by the Hokage. We have not been given the power to judge Danzo, nor is there room to question his actions. Our mission is only to protect the safety of the village."

A flash of anger crossed Fugaku's eyes; his voice suddenly rose: "Safety? Whose safety are you protecting?" He pointed at the destroyed Uchiha Clan Compound.

"The Uchiha Clan Compound was attacked; where is your so-called safety? Your Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, is just a coward who never stopped Danzo's actions! Where are you so-called 'guardians'?"

Just at this moment, a golden flash streaked by, and then Minato Namikaze appeared out of thin air in the center of the battlefield; his face was pale, obviously not yet fully recovered from his previous serious injuries.

Minato looked around, his gaze finally landing on Fugaku: "Clan Leader Fugaku, please calm down. I guarantee the village will definitely give the Uchiha Clan justice."

Fugaku turned his head to look at Minato; a complex emotion flashed in his eyes: "Minato, I've always appreciated you; without a bloodline, you've actually made it this far. But the Uchiha Clan is discriminated against everywhere; this village can no longer accommodate us."

He paused, his voice turning cold: "I give you a choice: let our Uchiha Clan leave Konoha immediately; otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

However, Danzo suddenly roared angrily: "Absolutely not! Once the Uchiha Clan leaves Konoha, they will become an uncontrollable force. Who knows if you'll turn around and attack the village?"

Danzo turned to the Root ninja around him and barked, "Attack with full force! The Uchiha Clan must not be allowed to leave!"

The Root ninja, hearing the order, immediately began forming Hand Seals. The air instantly filled with turbulent Chakra Fluctuation.

Minato's face turned ashen in an instant: "Danzo! What are you doing? Stop the attack immediately!"
