Chapter 380 Collapse

"What do you want to do?!"

An angry shout rang out!

Terai stared intently at the three Cloud Village ninja before him: "You're starting a war!"

Another Root member chimed in, "This is a collaboration we agreed upon with the Fourth Raikage. You cannot bear the responsibility for breaking this agreement!"

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

His response was a deafening roar of lightning; his longsword, imbued with lightning chakra, charged forward and slashed down with tremendous force.

"Bang."

The root of the kunai, which was blocking the way, was being suppressed; the speed was too fast!

The next moment, a bright light flashed past.

"puff!"

Blood spurted from his neck, and the headless body collapsed with a thud.

This scene stunned Terai, who was standing to the side, and cold sweat slid down his mask.

Lord Danzo miscalculated...

According to information gathered by Root, Kumogakure had been collecting bloodline limits and secret techniques, which gave Lord Danzo an opportunity.

That incident nine years ago can also be used to get revenge.

But what Lord Danzo didn't expect was...

After the probing nine years ago, the Hidden Cloud Village no longer takes the Hidden Leaf Village seriously.

They didn't know what was inside Uchiha Izumi's scroll, but whatever it was, the presence of two Sharingan with three tomoe each had already piqued their interest.

"I've taken care of over a dozen enemies, and you haven't even managed to kill three here..."

The burly figure crackling with lightning turned around, and Terai froze on the spot.

The Fourth Raikage... A!

They didn't know what was inside Uchiha Izumi's scroll, but it was just an extra Sharingan, and the Raikage personally took action...

"With Lord Raikage making his move, how could we possibly have a chance..."

"But looking at it this way... the Root, led by the so-called Darkness of the Shinobi World, is nothing special after all."

Yugito looked at Uchiha Izumi, who had remained silent: "The Senju clan has fallen, and the Uchiha clan was almost completely wiped out by Uchiha Itachi four years ago. Konoha doesn't want to let the remaining clan members go either..."

"Under these circumstances, Konoha's decline was entirely predictable. We tested the waters nine years ago, and the result spoke for itself."

The Fourth Raikage ignored Darui's teasing and instead reached out to retrieve the scroll that he had just handed over to Izumi Uchiha.

"Although I didn't have high expectations, I'm still a little curious about the potential benefits that could cause Konoha to fight amongst itself..."

Upon opening the sealed scroll, one can see an eye-shaped character in the center.

After the seal was broken, nine test tubes appeared in the center of the scroll, and in each test tube floated a Sharingan with three tomoe.

For a moment, the members of Yunyin were stunned.

After a long pause, Samoi said in a deep voice, "These are the eyes left behind after the Uchiha clan was wiped out, but they should have been in the hands of Uchiha Itachi."

"No matter how dark it is, Konoha would never openly gouge out the eyes of their own village's ninja. And if it was Danzo of Konoha who did it, then these eyes shouldn't be in your hands."

At this point, Samoi turned to Uchiha Izumi and said, "You have a secret. You handed it over so readily before; you were already prepared to die, weren't you?"

"Such an opponent who won't fight back... According to what I've heard about Danzo, he would never give us a three-tomoe Sharingan for no reason."

Darui yawned, then rubbed his eyes.

"Whatever the secret, we'll find out once we take it back to the interrogation team. It's not very interesting, I'm getting sleepy."

As he spoke, Darui looked at Uchiha Izumi and bowed slightly, saying, "I'm truly sorry, but before you die, it's best to honestly confess everything. This is my advice to you."

Uchiha Izumi, who had remained silent until now, still showed no sign of fear.

Instead, he turned around and looked at Terai, who was making useless preparations for defense, with a mocking expression.

"After suppressing my fear of that person for four years, it finally subsided, only to have it all taken by the Hidden Cloud Village. Heh..."

"How ridiculous... Konoha will only perish in the hands of that pair."

Terai's deep voice rang out: "We only need to obey orders, because we all believe that Konoha will once again shine under Lord Danzo's leadership!"

"laugh!"

A disdainful laugh rang out.

The next moment, blood spurted from Terai's carotid artery.

"Brilliant? I could accept the title of the Fourth Hokage, known as the Golden Flash, but Hiruzen Sarutobi is old, and Danzo is just a worm in the gutter."

The Fourth Raikage once again stole his subordinate's head, the lightning still crackling on his outstretched hand, his gaze fixed on Uchiha Izumi.

Seeing this, Darui quickly spoke up to stop him, saying, "This one needs to be taken back and interrogated. If he dies, we won't know the secrets behind it."

Yugito also spoke up, "We need to know the secret that allowed Danzo to give up a Sharingan."

Seeing that both of them said so, the Fourth Raikage snorted coldly and the lightning on his hand gradually subsided.

Uchiha Izumi remained silent once again, offering neither pleading nor making threats.

Because Izumi Uchiha was no longer the little girl she was four years ago. She knew very well about Kumogakure that threats would have no effect on the Fourth Raikage, given his personality.

As for begging for mercy...

Ninjas from other countries, especially those from the Five Great Nations, would not be accepted.

"Let's go."

Samoi's voice rang out, without even bothering to tie her up.

With the Fourth Raikage and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito, traveling together, any talk of escaping was simply wishful thinking.

Even an Uchiha with a three-tomoe Sharingan is no exception.

Uchiha Izumi also cooperated, but after taking two steps, she turned back to look in the direction of Konoha.

Sasuke... you have to escape!

I will pave the way for you from now on.

"What are you looking at? Someone's coming to rescue you?"

Samoi looked at Uchiha Izumi: "Nine years ago, even the Hyuga clan was handed over by Konoha, let alone an Uchiha clan that has already been wiped out..."

Darui, standing to the side, rubbed his temples. "Delaying it won't get us anywhere; it'll only make things worse. Let's go!"

The next moment, Uchiha Izumi, who had just turned around, froze on the spot.

"Well... so you're thinking of sacrificing your brain to make Kumogakure completely trust Sasuke? Defecting from Konoha so Sasuke can join Kumogakure?"

A familiar voice rang out, and Uchiha Izumi hurriedly looked up and around.

"Brother...brother!"

Her Sharingan with its three tomoe turned red, and no one knew the torment she had endured over the past four years.

The process of growing up is inevitably accompanied by pain. In an environment where she was constantly in fear, she was always thinking about how to protect Sasuke and her mother.

Sasuke is the future of the Uchiha clan, and his mother is his own future.

Four years had passed, and the immense pressure had long since overwhelmed her.

She wasn't a very smart person, and couldn't compare to the Nara clan, a fact she herself was well aware of.

So in the end, he had to sacrifice himself, and he couldn't even save his mother. But only in this way could Sasuke find a safe haven.

Only then can the deceased Uchiha clan members rest in peace in the future!

"Brother? Are you possessed?"

Yugito, despite using his Tailed Beast senses, detected nothing. Furthermore, the intelligence indicated that the Uchiha clan now consisted of only Sasuke Uchiha and a woman who had married into the clan.

"Run! Run now!"

The next moment, the voice of the traveler echoed in Yukito's mind.

At the same time, a figure appeared beside Uchiha Izumi.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

A clap of thunder sounded, and a beam of light shot towards them in an instant.

But the next moment...

"boom!!!"

The Fourth Raikage, who was rushing forward, was stomped on the ground. The immense force caused the ground to crack and even the surrounding area to tremble.

One strike!

No one could even see how the other person stepped down; the moment the Fourth Raikage launched his attack, he was stomped to the ground.

How is that possible?!

A sense of absurdity filled everyone's hearts. How could anyone defeat Lord Raikage so easily?

"asshole!!!"

A roar rang out, and even more powerful lightning chakra erupted from the Fourth Raikage's body!

The sound of thunder and lightning was incessant!

But unfortunately... it remained completely still.

"You're making me very upset."

Uchiha Yun looked at the burly man at his feet: "If I'm not careful, I might accidentally stomp you to death. Then we might have to go to Kumogakure to cleanse you up. That would be a real hassle..."

The same catchphrase, but Darui felt no relief at all. The pressure from the other party, which came down to the level of life itself, was suffocating!

Suppressing his inner fear, black lightning surged forth the moment the other person lowered their head.

The idea was to catch the opponent off guard, hoping they would dodge and allow Lord Raikage to escape.

"Snapped!"

With a single slap, a casual wave of the hand, the black-clad constable was shattered!

Immediately afterwards, a blue flame erupted beside him.

They are two wooden figures.

Yun turned his head and looked over, a smile on his face: "You Lu, you should be able to sense the difference in strength, yet you still dared to make a move?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yugito, whose body was engulfed in blue flames, was slapped away by Daihito.

The direction it flew out of was exactly the direction Samoi was rushing from, and the two collided, breaking more than ten large trees before finally coming to a stop.

At this moment, Yun felt the brute beneath her feet still struggling.

He then turned to Uchiha Izumi and asked, "Why don't we just stomp him to death? The Fourth Raikage is a brute; there's no way to reason with him."

"Stomp them to death and then go to Kumogakure. Luckily, it's not too far from here. Go there and slaughter Killer Bee and the higher-ups. Then no one will come after you for revenge."

The tone was relaxed and casual, no more serious than talking about what to eat for lunch; it was as if he were casually swatting an insect.

Uchiha Izumi was stunned, and the three seriously injured people not far away also felt a surge of fear upon hearing these words.

"cough!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out. Yugi glanced at Samoi, who had just escaped, and saw that he was still alive.

"Run! You can't win! You have no chance! Run!"

The voice of the traveler echoed in her heart once more, but Yugito replied, "No ninja in Kumogakure would abandon their Kage and run away! What happened to the Third Hokage will never happen again!"

……

"asshole!"

"Let me out if you dare! I'm going to kill you!"

"boom!!!"

Lightning Release chakra erupted repeatedly, and the Fourth Raikage cursed angrily but could not shake off the foot above his head.

This is an overwhelming force, and also a humiliation for a brute.

"Die!!"

"Click!"

His arms bent backward, and his hands, covered in lightning, slashed horizontally.

However, before it could even get close, a tremendous force suddenly erupted...

"boom!"

The Fourth Raikage's head was stomped directly into the ground. The immense force even caused his limbs to float in the air, forming an upside-down shape.

"It's quiet now."

The casual voice rang out, and Yukito and Darui were instantly stunned.

Even Uchiha Izumi, standing nearby, asked in a trembling voice, "Dead...dead?"

The idea that the Fourth Raikage could be killed by a single stomp would only be considered a joke if it got out.

But for Yugito at this moment, it was a fear that originated from the depths of his heart!

"You bastard!!"

Once again, two blue tails coalesced behind him, and chakra began to gather in the air.

Tailed Beast Ball!

This was the only solution the wooden man could think of.

But clearly... it was all in vain.

"It's useless. Even a Tailed Beast Ball won't be able to effectively attack him. The Fourth Raikage isn't dead. Calm down, Yugito!"

The Two-Tails' voice rang out again, and the gathered chakra, along with its two tails, slowly dissipated.

"Not dead?"

"I was just knocked unconscious by a kick; the other party... showed mercy."

The voice of the other traveler was equally solemn. At this moment, it did not allow Yugito to escape. Since the other party had not killed Raikage, there should still be room for negotiation.

And now that I think about it... was it even possible to escape?

That feeling is that of an Otsutsuki, an old man!

Who exactly is this human? How could there possibly be someone in this world like the old man?

Even Hashirama Senju from Konoha back then never reached this level!

Uchiha Yun glanced at the dissipated Two-Tails chakra and chuckled, "Oh? Not bad, you're quite clever."

He then looked at Uchiha Izumi and replied, "He's not dead. It's just that this guy has a really loud voice, so I'm letting him sleep for a bit. I've been controlling my power pretty well lately, otherwise I probably would have accidentally stepped on him and killed him."

Quan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his eyes reddened the next moment.

What followed was a string of tears falling, and as if she needed to vent, she squatted down and began to wail loudly.

Four years ago, Sasuke was only eight years old.

All the pressure was on her shoulders; she lived cautiously every day, fearing each new dawn.

Because she didn't know how long such peaceful days could last, or how long the Third Hokage and Danzo could allow the Uchiha clan to continue existing.

All of this terrified her, but she couldn't show these emotions, because if even she was afraid, Sasuke would only break down!

The cries echoed through the woods. Yun didn't stop them, but felt a pang of heartache and a touch of regret...
