Chapter 200 Hiruzen Sarutobi's Death - The Uchiha Clan's Annihilation

He was proficient in all five elemental ninjutsu and even developed the Five Elements Great Combo, a combined ninjutsu of the five elements.

Wielding the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff), he was comparable to the pinnacle of martial arts.

Not to mention he also learned many family secret techniques.

As he swung his golden cudgel, Hiruzen Sarutobi's arm rapidly expanded, instantly becoming several times thicker!

"Expansion Technique!" The Akimichi clan head on the rooftop turned pale. "Our clan did contribute the secret technique to the Hokage, but it was clearly stated that it was for the Second Hokage to research, not for you, the Third Hokage, to learn!"

With the enhancement of the Multiplying Technique, the speed at which the Golden Cudgel was swung suddenly increased, reaching the heavens and the earth. In that instant, the Golden Cudgel, which was more than ten meters tall, seemed to actually have the strength to threaten Susanoo.

However, Uchiha Shichito was no ordinary person.

He was an old man from the first generation, and he fought alongside Madara Uchiha in his youth, so he has a wealth of combat experience.

Not to mention he's recently learned marksmanship!

With his Sharingan activated, Hiruzen Sarutobi had complete control over all of Hiruzen's movements. Then, with a flick of his spear, Susanoo deflected the golden cudgel.

With the next move, Susanoo retracted its spear and thrust it straight at Hiruzen Sarutobi!

If Hiruzen Sarutobi were also a giant, he could retrieve his golden cudgel and fight again, but he isn't.

Such a heavy object is already difficult to control, and now with the addition of Uchiha Shichito's power, he simply has no way to retract the golden cudgel in a short time.

With a swift kick, Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his golden cudgel to block the oncoming spear tip, then raised his hands to form hand seals: "Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"

The second generation left behind solutions to Susanoo: Water Severing Wave and Mutual Multiplication Explosion Tags.

These two techniques are recorded in the Book of Sealing, how could Hiruzen Sarutobi not know them?

A sharp water blade shot out from its mouth, directly cracking the spear that Susanoo had condensed, and then continued its momentum, heading straight for Susanoo itself.

Uchiha Shichito turned his spear around and thrust it straight at the water blade.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately dodged and adjusted his position, using Water Slash to bypass the spear, still intending to charge at Susanoo.

However, his target was only so small that Uchiha Shichito could easily block it with a simple turn of his spear.

Moreover, Susanoo is currently using only one hand!

"Shield!" A drop of blood flowed from the corner of his eye, and a shield suddenly appeared in Susanoo's other empty hand!

With the shield, Uchiha Shichito no longer needed to use his spear to block the Water Wave; by switching the shield, he could use the spear for offense!

"So the weapon of Susanoo is actually decided by the summoner himself?" Ning Yuan was somewhat surprised; he had thought it was predetermined.

However, the fact that he taught Uchiha Mikoto the spear technique had a significant impact. Uchiha Mikoto passed it on to the entire clan, and it was then used by Uchiha Shichito to deal with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Actually, he didn't allow Mikoto to pass on her marksmanship, but such a ban made little difference to the Uchiha clan; once you used it, someone with the Sharingan could copy it.

The Golden Cudgel had slipped from his grasp, the Water Severing Wave had lost its effect, and there was still a Multiplying Explosive Talisman, but Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't use it. Instead, he switched to using the Five Elements Great Combo.

As for the result, of course, it was impossible to break through Susanoo's defense.

Thus, a highly anticipated battle only had a brief moment of brilliance before quickly turning into a one-sided stomp.

The reason is simple: Hiruzen Sarutobi has no way to break through Susanoo's defenses.

While the Water Severing Wave technique was possible, Hiruzen Sarutobi clearly hadn't mastered it properly, and it was far inferior to the level used by the Second Hokage.

Multiplying the explosive tags should work, but Hiruzen Sarutobi has never used it.

Ning Yuan guessed that he had not prepared any detonating tags.

The explosive tags summoned by the mutual multiplication of explosive tags are not created out of thin air, but are prepared in advance. It is obvious that Hiruzen Sarutobi did not have this preparation.

As for sealing away the corpse demon?

Not to mention that Hiruzen Sarutobi can't control Uchiha Shichito in Susanoo at all, he doesn't even know this technique!

This technique was a secret of the Uzumaki clan, passed down from Kushina Uzumaki to Minato Namikaze. After their deaths, it fell into the hands of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

This has led to the fact that Hiruzen Sarutobi now has no way to deal with the Seven Tokugawa Uchiha!

Watching Hiruzen Sarutobi leap and dodge attacks, Nanato Uchiha burst into laughter.

"So this is our Hokage, the Professor of Ninjutsu. What a powerful title, but is this all the strength you have? No wonder you're afraid to go to the battlefield. With your strength, you'd probably just die on the battlefield!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't speak, but continued to bombard Uchiha Shichito with various ninjutsu.

Naturally, none of them were effective.

Three minutes later, Hiruzen Sarutobi staggered, finally unable to hold on any longer.

He was a fifty-year-old man who released nearly a hundred ninjutsu in three minutes. His chakra reserves were astonishing. The key was that these ninjutsu were not repeated!

He truly deserves the title of "Master of Ninjutsu".

Unfortunately, the opponent was using a move that shouldn't exist in this version.

Madara earned the title of "Shura of the Shinobi World" with this skill. Even if Uchiha Shichito's eyes are not Eternal Eyes, he should still be considered a half-step Shura.

This half-step Asura with his kaleidoscope eyes was extremely agile, accurately seizing the opportunity, turning his spear tip around, and slashing at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi hurriedly dodged, but due to the angle and the nature of his divine position, it was ultimately unavoidable that his eyes met the kaleidoscope.

His entire body froze instantly, and the next second, the spear pierced through him.

The enormous spear and the hunched figure reminded Ning Yuan of the giant claw that pierced through Minato Namikaze and his wife.

"Cough cough cough cough..." A mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spurted out, and the intense pain and disordered chakra also woke Hiruzen Sarutobi from his genjutsu.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you've lost!" Uchiha Shichito said proudly.

"Heh." Hiruzen Sarutobi gave a bitter laugh: "I had heard of the power of Susanoo before, but I never expected it to be this powerful. Not only could it not break through your defense, it couldn't even force you to use the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Uchiha Shichito's lips curled into a proud smile.

"I just wonder, in today's ninja world, who can stop you?"

Qi Dou nodded in satisfaction. Yes, that's exactly it!

"However, Orochimaru is a good Hokage, and Konoha is gradually improving under his leadership. I hope that you Uchiha clan members can obey his leadership and not lose yourselves for the sake of power."

Qi Dou narrowed his eyes: "Old man, you're the one who's lost yourself in power, aren't you? You have no right to say such things!"

"Haha..." Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and stopped talking. His head sank, and then he stopped breathing.

Having been pierced through the chest by a spear nearly 20 centimeters in diameter, the fact that he could still struggle to utter a few last words is a testament to his remarkable resilience.

However, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi's corpse, countless people felt somewhat bewildered.

The once-proud ninja hero ultimately died at the hands of the Uchiha clan, burdened with the crimes of embezzlement and suppressing and framing the village's geniuses.

"Former Uchiha clan head, you have rendered meritorious service in capturing the criminal Hiruzen Sarutobi!" Orochimaru sighed, then looked at Uchiha Shichito: "I don't know."

"Shut up!" Uchiha Shichito shouted sternly, "Orochimaru, Hiruzen Sarutobi committed such a grave crime. As his disciple, don't you bear any responsibility at all?"

"Hmm?" Orochimaru was taken aback and narrowed his eyes.

Anyone with a brain can see that there was something wrong with Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions and words before his death.

He was clearly using his own life to tell everyone that Susanoo is very strong, and also to sow discord.

You, Orochimaru, have become Hokage, haven't you? You have a Susanoo under your command. I'd like to see if you can hold onto that position.

He was trying to provoke Orochimaru, but little did he know that his death would give Uchiha Shichito courage.

He knew that the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan was powerful, but he did not expect it to be this powerful. The mighty ninja hero was completely helpless against him!

Orochimaru is just a disciple of Hiruzen Sarutobi. If the master is like that, how strong can the disciple be?

Since our disciple is not strong enough, shouldn't we Uchiha also try to take the Hokage position?

"What do you want?" Orochimaru said coldly.

"Our investigation has revealed that you were also involved in the embezzlement of funds by the Sarutobi clan!" Uchiha Shichito said coldly. "Therefore, you should resign from your position as Hokage and cooperate with our investigation!"

"Ah..." Before Orochimaru could even speak, the onlookers were already buzzing with discussion!

What is the Uchiha clan trying to do? Are they going to take down two Hokage in three days?

Moreover, if Orochimaru is brought down under this pretext, then Tsunade and Jiraiya will also be unable to take over, since they are also master and disciple with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Even for any ninja clan, it's the same. The five criminals from the Sarutobi clan were in the hands of the Uchiha clan. What they confessed to, what they wrote in their statements, wasn't it all just made up by the Uchiha clan?

This door must not be opened, otherwise the Uchiha clan will be able to arrest or frame whomever they want.

But now that the Seven Uchiha have just defeated Hiruzen Sarutobi, who would dare to be the first to step forward?

"You say I'm connected to Hiruzen Sarutobi, but do you have any witnesses or physical evidence?" Orochimaru asked with a smile.

"Heh, you'll see!" Uchiha Shichito beckoned, "Guards, take him away!"

"Arresting people without witnesses or physical evidence doesn't follow proper procedures!" Ning Yuan said.

"And what are you?" Uchiha Shichito said irritably.

He was at least somewhat cautious towards Orochimaru, but the Hyuga clan was nothing more than enemies with the Uchiha clan.

When I become Hokage, the first thing I'll do is take down the Hyuga clan!

Ning Yuan was taken aback, then said, "I was the one who proposed the police reform regulations for your Uchiha clan. I know the case-handling procedures better than anyone. You were able to arrest those five Sarutobi clan members because you had files and the testimonies of the merchants. You arrested Sarutobi Hiruzen because you had the testimonies of the five Sarutobi clan members, as well as my testimony, Tsunade's testimony, and even Danzo's testimony. Now you're arresting Orochimaru, but you can't provide anything!"

"This is not the attitude a law enforcement agency should have!"

"Enforcement? Hah, what law!" Uchiha Shichito grinned. "What I say is law!"

"Arrest them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the Uchiha moved in unison.

The Uchiha clan has always been unruly and believes in the principle of respecting the strong. The fact that the Uchiha Seven Touken Ranbu awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan is enough for them to worship, not to mention that he also killed Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The prestige of the Seven Tokugawa Uchiha has now reached an unprecedented peak. Even if Madara Uchiha were to be resurrected, his words would probably not carry as much weight as Madara's!

Ning Yuan looked down and saw that Uchiha Mikoto had also taken flight and joined the encirclement.

"Teacher?" Ning Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "You too?"

"Sorry!" Mikoto shook her head. On one side was her disciple whom she had only known for two days, and on the other side was her own family. Did she even need to think about which side to choose?

"Ning Yuan, this has nothing to do with you. We're only after Orochimaru!"

Ning Yuan was speechless.

The clan leaders present all looked at Orochimaru, the Fourth Hokage, and asked him to think of a solution.

It's clear to everyone that the Uchiha clan has a significant advantage right now, so logically, we should join them and try to gain merit by helping them rise to power.

But Uchiha Shichito's actions were too unruly.

If you take it easy and wait three to five years until Orochimaru steps down, people might still choose you. After all, judging from Shichibukai's physical condition, he can live for another ten years or so without any problem. People will definitely give him face because of his Mangekyou Sharingan.

But how can you just take the Hokage position by relying on your strength?

If you do this, won't the Hokage position forever belong to the Uchiha clan?

After all, the Senju clan, which could fight against the Uchiha clan, is no longer around!

Wait, there's also Tsunade here.

Everyone turned to look at Tsunade, only to find that she was also vaguely surrounded by members of the Uchiha clan.

It's obvious that Tsunade is going to die today too.

However, given the situation, how come these two are so calm and not flustered at all?

Could the Sannin be capable of fighting Susanoo?

Orochimaru sighed, then turned to Ningyuan and asked, "Ningyuan-kun, what should we do with the Uchiha clan?"

Everyone was shocked. "Wait, what's going on now? You want to ask him?"

You are the Hokage!

Ning Yuan also frowned. He didn't want to wipe out the Uchiha clan. After all, it was a matter of biodiversity, and their genes were unique and had research value.

However, this characteristic of the Uchiha clan is indeed a problem.

After thinking for a moment, Ning Yuan asked, "Seven Dou, is this your personal decision, or the will of the entire Uchiha clan?"

"Of course, it's the will of all of us!" Nanato replied without hesitation.

Ning Yuan shook his head: "This is a very important question, you need to answer it seriously."

"You brat, why am I wasting my breath talking to you!" Qi Dou's original target was Orochimaru, but now he was being questioned by a 9-year-old child. He was so angry that his hatred shifted, and he raised his hand to stab Ning Yuan with his spear.

Just as Ning Yuan raised his hand, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of him and shouted, "Return to Heaven!"

The enormous chakra ball deflected the spear to the side!

Ning Yuan was taken aback: "Clan leader?"

That's right, the one who suddenly appeared and saved Ning Yuan was none other than Hyuga Hiashi!

"This isn't just about you anymore!" Hiashi Hyuga said coldly. "If we don't get through this today, our entire clan might perish!"

Ning Yuan understood.

"Everyone!" Hiashi Hyuga said in a deep voice, "Susanoo is powerful, but it is by no means invincible. Its duration is limited, and the number of times it can be used is also limited. Overuse will result in blindness!"

"Besides, he's only just awakened, and the Third Hokage has already held him back for so long; he might not even have the strength to fight anymore!"

"Hokage-sama, Tsunade-sama, and all the clan heads, if we join forces, we can definitely defeat this rebellious Uchiha!"

It seems that not only the Uchiha Seven Tokus saw an opportunity, but also the Hyuga Hiashi.

They're all smart people!

"You!" Uchiha Shichito's eyes widened in fury. He had been right, completely right.

Having fought each other for so many years during the Warring States period, the Hyuga clan knew the Uchiha clan's secrets perfectly well. They hadn't said anything before because they were from the same village and saw each other all the time.

Now that you're about to kill my people, it'll be too late if you don't speak up!

"Hyuga clan leader!" Seeing that Shichito was speechless, Fugaku quickly interjected, "We have no intention of opposing the Hyuga clan this time; our target is only Orochimaru!"

Hiashi Hyuga remained silent.

"Once I, the Uchiha, ascend to the position of Hokage, I will hand over Root to you!" Fugaku continued.

Fugaku shouldn't have had such a mindset. Perhaps it was because Ningyuan had written too many books. Even just reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" would have greatly improved his understanding of political struggle and the big picture.

Hiashi Hyuga's eyes flickered slightly; he was somewhat tempted.

After Orochimaru took over, the Hyuga clan didn't gain any benefits.

As for that medical department, it originally belonged to our Hyuga clan! And it wasn't given to us by Orochimaru, but by Sarutobi Biwako!

"Sigh," Ning Yuan shook his head as he saw Hyuga Hiashi lost in thought.

These ninja clans are truly beyond saving.

The outside world is undergoing dramatic changes, changes that Ning Yuan kept secret from Hiruzen Sarutobi, but not from the major ninja clans.

Unfortunately, their vision is so short-sighted; they spend all their time fighting amongst themselves in one village!

"Ning Yuan, what right do you have to speak at a time like this!" Hiashi Hyuga said irritably. I'm negotiating with the Uchiha, why are you sighing?

Ning Yuan ignored him and announced loudly, "The entire Uchiha clan participated in the rebellion. Their eyes are sealed, their chakra is destroyed, and a new security force will be formed!"

"The mastermind, Uchiha Shichito, is executed. Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Misaka are imprisoned for ten years and stripped of their political rights for life. Their direct relatives for three generations are barred from taking the civil service exam!"

"Uchiha Mikoto knowingly broke the law; her crime is compounded, and she will be sentenced to 15 years in prison!"

"Hyuga Hiashi participated in the treason. Given that his crime is relatively minor, his eyes are sealed, his chakra is destroyed, and he is confined for ten years!"

"What?" Hiashi Hyuga and Shichito Uchiha stared wide-eyed. What nonsense was this child spouting in broad daylight?

"Execute immediately!"

As soon as they finished speaking, Orochimaru and Tsunade clasped their hands together in prayer.

"This seal is!" The experienced Uchiha Shichito's eyes widened instantly.

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"

"How is this possible!" Uchiha Shichito exclaimed in shock, "How could you possibly know Wood Release?!"

However, no matter how shocked they were, it couldn't change the fact that countless vines and trees had broken through the soil and covered the entire street and the houses on both sides of it.

None of the Uchiha on it escaped, even when the Seven Tokugawa Uchiha activated Susanoo, it was useless, as Wood Release is specifically designed to counter Susanoo.

"You, me," Hiashi Hyuga stared blankly at the Wood Release that was binding him, forgetting even to resist.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that something extraordinary might have happened.

Turning his head again, Hyuga Hiashi was shocked to find that Hyuga Neiyuan, who was standing next to him, had taken off his headband at some point.

Beneath the headband, everything was smooth and clean.

Hiashi Hyuga instinctively wanted to question him, but then he suddenly thought of the former Hokage who had been plotted against and killed.

He shut his mouth from the bottom of his heart.
