Simultaneously traversing from the beginning of the rampage in Konoha

The Yamata no Orochi mocked the overconfident "dwarf," its serpentine heads hissing in unison.

As Itachi Uchiha listened to Orochi's triumphant, ear-piercing roar, his expression grew increasingly grim.

Having reset his physical state once again, he couldn't help but touch his left eye, which was feeling increasingly sluggish.

He knew that Izanagi's time was running out.

In the instant that he was distracted, the Orochi, whose ninjutsu seemed to have no effect whatsoever, once again unleashed a pillar of lightning.

"Wind Release: Wind Cutter!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

"Wind Release..."

"Wind Release: Vacuum Dayama!"

Suddenly, at that moment, dozens of wind-style ninjutsu burst out from behind and beside the blood-red Susanoo.

A large number of wind-style ninjutsu impacted the lightning.

Although it's far from enough to destroy Thunder, it's enough to detonate Thunder midway through its attack.

The purplish-black lightning exploded in mid-air under the united efforts of everyone, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Hokage-sama!"

Uchiha Itachi coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, his face flushed with a sickly redness. After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he respectfully looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had come to his side and spat out a huge wind bullet.

"You've worked hard, Itachi!"

"What happened here?"

As a supporter of the extermination plan, Hiruzen Sarutobi was naturally aware of the current situation.

But as the Hokage, he cannot show any darkness at this time.

"...Lord Hokage, it was Uchiha Osamu who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and went berserk out of control."

Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment, and then, under the watchful eyes of Hiruzen Sarutobi and a group of Konoha ninjas not far away, he consciously removed a lot of important information and revealed the "woven truth".

"Is it still possible to communicate?"

Although I can't remember who Uchiha Owl is, I only have a vague sense of familiarity from hearing the name.

But watching the lightning explode in the air again, Hiruzen Sarutobi, with a sliver of hope, quietly asked himself, completely unaware of his own hypocrisy.

That hoarse voice was so faint that it was almost ignored by Itachi Uchiha.

"..."

Faced with the Hokage's hopes, silence spoke volumes.

"Konoha ninja, heed my command! We must not allow anyone to harm the village!"

Upon seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted decisively, a stark contrast to his previous cautious questioning.

But Itachi Uchiha showed no confusion or surprise at this contrast.

It's not even about understanding or agreement.

I just thought it was nothing more than the most ordinary and correct thing to do.

That's how it should be...

That's how it should be...

That's how it is...

The Uchiha clan, which is threatening Konoha, must... be eliminated!

"Itachi, help me withstand the frontal attack!"

"The Ino-Shika-Cho trio will hold the enemy back and distract Uchiha Owl. Homura and Koharu, you two lead the sealing team to seal him!"

"Keep the Wind Release ninjutsu going! Don't let the Lightning Release land in the village!"

"The rest of you, disperse and attack freely!"

"Danzo, Danzo?"

"asshole!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to give orders to Danzo Shimura when he suddenly realized that his old friend and the Root organization had not yet appeared!

Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei

"...Summoning technique, emerge, Monkey King, Monkey Demon!"

After a moment of silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi bit his finger, quickly formed hand seals, and pressed them to the ground. In a cloud of dust, a tall and muscular figure gradually emerged.

"Ape Demon, transform into the Ruyi Jingu Bang!"

As Hiruzen Sarutobi watched the Yamata no Orochi slowly approach, seemingly oblivious to any obstruction, he gave Enma no time to voice his questions or exclamations.

"clear!"

In the rising dust once more, Hiruzen Sarutobi firmly gripped his short, thick club, aiming one end at the point where the eight heads of the Yamata no Orochi intersected at the chest.

"Ape Demon, stretch out!"

In this battle to defend their homeland, Shimura Danzo hid in a dark place just a hundred meters away.

Looking at the rapidly extending Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff), he let out a soft hum with a complex tone.

"Hiruzen, you'll regret this..."

……

Driven mad, Uchiha Owl used his eight sets of sixteen visions to stare intently at the powerless, blood-red giant.

He was no longer able to think about why he was fighting, yet he could still enjoy a strange sense of joy.

As for those little insects jumping around, they're just a bunch of monkeys in a monkey show, bringing some comical laughs.

Countless shuriken and kunai fell on my body like dust, yet I felt no numbness or itching.

A gentle breeze blowing in from all directions, a flame small enough to light a candle, earth and stones that crumble at the slightest touch, and water droplets that can be completely ignored.

Even more, there were bolts of lightning that seemed to be replenishing its energy, but unfortunately, the amount was so small that it couldn't even be tasted.

However, a few unruly monkeys made him even more amused.

One of them held a thin stick to its chest and abdomen, trying to push itself away.

Unfortunately, the stick was too thin, and when one of the snake's heads broke off, it was crushed into pieces with a single bite.

One of them can grow bigger, and although it's still a dwarf with its round body, it can still block two lashes from its own tail.

Some insects even managed to withstand the lash of lightning and shatter a few snake scales, but that was all.

The repeated pleasurable sensations caused Uchiha Owl, who had transformed into the Yamata no Orochi, to become increasingly confused in his mind and spirit.

Before his obsession dissipates, he will be unable to recognize himself, forever retaining this malevolent form, until he becomes a giant serpent forever.

The immense amount of chakra and the terrifying speed of recovery prevent any feeling of weakness from arising.

Dark purple lightning bolts shot out from his mouth time and time again.

Finally, after another burst of lightning, the blood-red giant's half-body, after being thrown into the air, could no longer hold on and disintegrated.

Roar~ Hiss! Hiss...

Suddenly, eight snakes that looked like dragon heads let out a joyful hiss for some unknown reason.

Then, the lightning converged in the eight snake mouths at an even faster speed.

Just as Orochi was about to completely annihilate Itachi Uchiha.

A tiny insect actually dragged Itachi Uchiha away and disappeared into a vortex of distorted space.

Eight lightning orbs, already eight or nine meters in diameter, suddenly erupted in a fit of rage, blasting the giant serpent into its own mouth.

This bizarre scene left the Konoha ninja surrounding the giant snake both astonished and secretly delighted.

"He can't hold on much longer!"

"Quickly, the sealing team, go and seal this scourge!"

"Hang in there, just a little longer!"

In contrast to the overly optimistic Konoha ninjas, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had no time to grieve for Enma's passing, sensed a great sense of foreboding.

Who was the masked stranger who knocked out and took Itachi Uchiha away?

Why did they take Itachi Uchiha away?

And most importantly, why is Uchiha Owl becoming increasingly quiet?

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the ruins of the Uchiha clan compound not far away, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him.

"Damn it, it was Itachi's presence that stabilized Uchiha Owl's condition!"

"Once Itachi disappears, what about his hatred...?"

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could finish expressing his unintentional thoughts, Owl Uchiha went berserk.

The already out-of-control eye technique went berserk, and the added madness of reason made it even more violent.

"Slaying the Serpent, Staining the Fat River Crimson!"

The snakes' hissing, with its eerie, melodious twists, somehow transformed into an angry human voice.

Under the witness of the entire Leaf Village, the monstrous eight-headed, eight-tailed serpent, starting from its eight severed heads, transformed into a sky full of crimson liquid.

This giant serpent, with its head raised a hundred meters high and its length winding eight hundred meters, was a manifestation of calamity as it disintegrated into a lake of blood.
