Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

Chapter 31 Heaven truly favors the Uchiha!

"Mito-sama?"

"you!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's flushed face turned ashen; he never expected Mito Uzumaki to betray him at this crucial moment.

You said you were here to deal with the Uchiha clan.

Even if I defeat Uchiha Nan, I'm afraid Uzumaki Mito won't stand on my side; she'll only stand on the Senju clan's side!

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked around, his eyes bloodshot. Among all these officials, not a single one was a loyal subject of Konoha, and not a single one obeyed the Hokage's dying wish!

Uchiha Nan grinned. Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have been rendered helpless and was just waiting to be slaughtered.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, if you're not brave enough, then get down here already and stop wasting everyone's time!"

Uchiha Nan looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with icy eyes, urging him to make a decision. Uchiha Nan really didn't want Hiruzen Sarutobi to give up.

Hiruzen Sarutobi still has to bear some of the blood debts owed to the Uchiha clan in another world.

"Alright, let's have a competition then!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi would never back down at this moment. Even if he had to die, he would die on the path to becoming Hokage. Otherwise, how could he face his teacher Tobirama Senju after his death?

"very good!"

"Let me make it clear beforehand: in a ninja duel, swords have no eyes. If you die, it's because you were outmatched. Everyone here can be a witness!"

Uchiha Nan activated his three-tomoe Sharingan and stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi as if he were looking at prey, waiting for Hiruzen Sarutobi's response.

Everyone present gasped. Uchiha Nan was determined to kill, but no one spoke up to stop him, spouting nonsense about stopping short of a fight.

What's the difference between vying for the Hokage position and the princes of the Land of Fire vying for the Daimyo position?

Brothers fighting and fratricide are commonplace; this is a life-or-death struggle, not a dinner party.

Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally agreed; having come this far, there was no reason to back down.

The scene shifts to the dueling arena, where Uchiha Nan and Sarutobi Hiruzen stand facing each other.

Hiruzen Sarutobi propelled himself forward with incredible speed, his body shooting out like an arrow. As if by magic, several shuriken appeared in his hands and shot towards Uchiha Nan.

"Trying to teach a fish to swim!"

Uchiha Nan scoffed, moving nimbly and completely ignoring the rapidly approaching shuriken.

Under the dynamic vision of the Uchiha Sharingan with its three tomoe, Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand movements appeared as if in slow motion.

"A great opportunity!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled smugly. As Kagami Uchiha's teammate, the two of them had sparred dozens of times and were extremely familiar with the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Nan's casual dodge gave Sarutobi Hiruzen an opportunity!

"Sword Shadow Clone Technique!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Uchiha Nan no chance to dodge, and a shuriken that had been magnified dozens of times instantly turned into more than a dozen.

Uchiha Nan's space to move in all directions had been completely blocked by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"it's over!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi wore a smug smile, enjoying the joy of impending victory, which suddenly reminded him of his teacher Tobirama Senju's teachings.

Arrogance is a common flaw of the Uchiha clan!

Tobirama Senju mentioned more than once how he single-handedly killed Madara Uchiha's younger brother, Izuna Uchiha.

By feigning weakness, the Uchiha clan, possessing the Sharingan, have become extremely arrogant in their attacks with kunai and shuriken. By simply exploiting their arrogance, one can catch them off guard and deliver a fatal blow.

Tobirama Senju spoke with pride, saying that his solo kill of Izuna Uchiha was his masterpiece, the kind he could brag about for a lifetime!

"Lava Release: Scorching River Rock Technique!"

Uchiha Nan spat out a magma ball from his mouth, melting all of the dozen or so giant shuriken that flew towards him.

Lava Release possesses high temperatures and corrosive properties that Fire Release lacks, easily corroding iron completely!

What?

Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile vanished abruptly. Was the ninjutsu Uchiha Nan that he had just used Lava Release?

He traveled all over the country with Tobirama Senju and witnessed most of the bloodline limits in the ninja world. Naturally, he had experienced the power of Lava Release. The high temperature, accompanied by the strong corrosiveness of magma, made it impossible to get involved. If you touched it, your flesh would melt.

Without the help of a medical ninja, the wound would only become inflamed, fester, and rot, ultimately leading to a painful death.

How could Uchiha Nan know Lava Release?

Isn't the Uchiha's bloodline limit the Sharingan?

The onlookers also stared wide-eyed. What kind of luck did the Uchiha have? They had already inherited the top bloodline limit in the ninja world, and now they had awakened Lava Release.

Wouldn't that mean the Uchiha clan in the future would have the opportunity to possess two powerful bloodline limits?

Are the Uchiha clan the biological sons of the Sage of Six Paths?

Is it necessary to show such favoritism towards the Uchiha?

The Sage of Six Paths is unfair!

"How do you know how to use Lava Release?!"

"This isn't fair!!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi roared at Uchiha Nan, whose two bloodline limits made Hiruzen Sarutobi green with envy.

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew all too well how difficult it was for a ninja without a bloodline limit to become a strong one, while Uchiha Nan had two bloodline limits. He could soar to great heights with either one!

"Molten Release: Lava Condensation Technique"

Uchiha Nan didn't have time to answer Hiruzen Sarutobi's question; he just wanted to cut Hiruzen Sarutobi in half right now.

Uchiha Nan spewed out yellowish-brown liquefied magma from his mouth, which solidified instantly upon contact with the ground. Any enemy who touched it would be pinned to the ground.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was being chased by Uchiha Nan's Lava Release ninjutsu, and dared not relax for a moment. If he slowed down even slightly, the battle would be over.

"What kind of skill is using Bloodline Limits? If you're so capable, let's fight in hand-to-hand combat!"

As Hiruzen Sarutobi ran, he became increasingly furious. This was practically cheating!

He had never heard of a person having two bloodline boundaries.

Idiot!

The same question popped into the minds of the onlookers: If not bloodstains to define the boundary, then what?

That was a gift from heaven to the ninjas!

Want to test your physical skills?

Why would someone who can be dealt with using ninjutsu need to foolishly engage in a taijutsu battle with you? Are they crazy?

Was the mental fortitude of the Third Hokage candidate chosen by Tobirama Senju really that poor?

Although they admired Uchiha Nan, that didn't stop them from looking down on Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was panting heavily, his pace slowing down, but he was still persevering.

Uchiha Nan revealed a cruel smile, feeling that the time was almost right. What would be the point of using ninjutsu to freeze Hiruzen Sarutobi in place and kill him?

He prefers the feeling of waiting until his prey is almost exhausted, but still has the strength to escape.

Just like how Manji teases a mouse, enjoying the fear of its prey fleeing from the brink of death, it will always play with the mouse until it is exhausted before eating it piece by piece.

As Uchiha Nan spent more time with Banji, she would occasionally learn from Banji's methods and use them to relieve her inner unhappiness.

But not now!

This is all a show, a performance for the entire village of ninjas!
