Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 949: Civil strife, the Hyuga clan picks peaches
Faced with this fatal blow, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not choose to escape.

If I retreat, then Konoha will be really finished.

So he took a deep breath, mobilized all the chakra in his body, and prepared to face this life-and-death battle.

The Black Light Ninjas didn't expect such a big scene to happen.

They originally wanted Uzumaki Naruto to die so that there would be no evidence against him.

As a result, the Nine-Tailed Fox was released.

"That seems like a good idea, right?"

One of the Black Light Ninja said.

The Nine-Tails wreaked havoc in Konoha, and the damage it caused was far beyond the reach of the Hyuga clan alone.

Moreover, they could take advantage of the chaos to kill the head elders of the Hyuga clan.

Then, he could replace them. When the time comes, he could use the caged bird secret technique to control the remaining branch family members. Wouldn't he be worried that the Hyuga clan wouldn't rebel against Konoha?
At this moment, when Hinata Hiashi saw that the Nine-Tailed Fox had actually broken the seal and came out, his brain buzzed and he almost crashed.

No, how did this Nine-Tailed Fox come out?
That is the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan. Among the five major ninja villages, the Jinchūriki of Konohagakure is the best at sealing. He has never even been on the battlefield or lost control.

Many years ago, it was just an accident that the seal loosened when the enemy took advantage of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's childbirth.

As a result, now, when seeing the Nine-Tailed Fox appear again, probably no one can remain calm.

The nightmare from that night many years ago happened again.

And this time, it is obviously even more terrifying!
The Nine-Tails, which has its own consciousness, exerted its power to the maximum extent. Only then did Sarutobi Hiruzen realize how powerful the Nine-Tails truly was.

In the leaf village shrouded in despair and flames, the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning and lingering dust. Every explosion was like the low mockery of the god of death, echoing in this ancient and tough land.

At this moment, the Nine-Tailed Fox was trampling on this place that had brought it countless humiliations with its arrogant attitude.

Its eyes, dark as the abyss, flickered with emotions both brutal and complex - hatred for Konoha, a desire for freedom, and a twisted pleasure in the revenge that was about to be unleashed.

The Nine-Tailed Fox did not hesitate at all. It suddenly opened its huge mouth that was big enough to swallow a mountain and swallowed the Tailed Beast Ball that contained terrifying energy in one gulp.

At this moment, the surrounding space seemed to tremble, and even the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

On the surface of the Nine-Tails' body, chakra surged like boiling magma, wrapping every inch of skin tightly.

As the power in the Nine-Tailed Fox madly compressed and gathered, an unprecedented energy storm brewed within its body.

Finally, when this power reached its peak, it suddenly erupted from the open mouth, turning into an extremely hot torrent of flames, carrying high temperature enough to melt steel and a destructive shock wave, rushing straight towards the center of Konoha Village.

The torrent of flames was like an angry fire dragon. Wherever it passed, whether it was a sturdy city wall or a bustling street, it was swallowed up in an instant.

Buildings collapsed in the flames, turning into piles of charred ruins; trees were set on fire and turned into blazing torches; and those who did not have time to escape were instantly evaporated by the high temperature, leaving only pieces of scarlet blood mist that slowly drifted away in the air.

Konoha Village, the once peaceful and harmonious ninja village, now seems to have turned into a hell on earth.

The roar of explosions, the sound of collapsed buildings, and the wailing of people intertwined to form a tragic symphony. However, in this despair and chaos, the ninjas of Konoha showed amazing perseverance and courage.

"Everyone, listen to my orders!" Although Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice sounded tired, it was extremely firm. "Stop the Nine-Tails at all costs! Protect the shelter, protect our families!" Following his orders, the ninjas of Konoha rushed towards the Nine-Tails like a tide. Among them were experienced veterans as well as fledgling rookies, but at this moment, they only had one common goal - to protect.

The Nara clan's shadow mimicry technique moved across the battlefield, subtly restraining the Kyuubi's movements;
The Akimichi clan's multiplication technique made their bodies as big as a mountain. They bravely stood in front of the Nine-Tails and built a defense line with their flesh and blood.
The Yamanaka clan's secret mind-transfer technique attempts to find a flaw in the Nine-Tailed Fox's consciousness, hoping to undermine its will from within.

"roar--!!!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox's deafening roar tore through the air once again. Its sound waves carried endless anger and flames of revenge, as if it was going to swallow up the entire world.

The nine tails behind it swept across the entire venue and rushed into the crowd. Even without using the Tailed Beast Ball, it was still an invincible and terrifying existence.

The complete Nine-Tails is at the super-kage level. Even though there is only half of the Nine-Tails now, it is still not something Konoha can contend with, especially now that Konoha has lost the Uchiha clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen used all his strength and coordinated with a group of ninjas to attack fearlessly.

Finally, after the Nine-Tails had ravaged two-thirds of Konoha's area, it was sealed again.

The only problem is who to choose as the Jinchūriki this time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was as gloomy as water. He felt that he didn't have much time left, and he used up his last bit of strength to deal with the Nine-Tails.

But such a big thing happened now.

"Next, Konoha is not at peace anymore. We need to find Jiraiya as soon as possible."

Sarutobi Hiruzen realized that he could not hold on for much longer, and the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Iwa Village were eyeing him covetously.

Not to mention that Konoha was now in the midst of a massive rout by the Nine-Tails, with many casualties.

Konoha might really be doomed.

Hyuga Hiashi hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Many people from the Hyuga clan died in this incident, and even the main family suffered a lot of casualties.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen still had some doubts in his heart, now was not the time to doubt. The most important thing now was to unite the family's strength.

After all, Konoha is facing war next.

"Hyuga clan leader, please rest assured, this must be a conspiracy of the enemy..."

As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, the Hyuga clan rushed out.

"Hyuga Hiashi, as an elder of the Hyuga clan, I will deprive you of your status as clan leader!"

The head of the main family of the Hyuga clan has been replaced by the Black Light Ninja, who appears at this moment with all the people from the branch families and the main family.

Hinata Hiashi's hands and feet were cold, and his heart was even colder, but he didn't know that Sarutobi Hiruzen was even more heartbroken than him.

"The Hyuga clan..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes widened. At this moment, Shimura Danzo appeared. When the fight just started, he hid and did not fight in order to preserve his roots. Now that he saw that the Hyuga clan actually wanted to take advantage of them, he would definitely be the first one to disagree!
