The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 31: Two Dark Division Captains Slain in Succession

Swords clashed in the air, creating dazzling sparks, their clanging echoing through the streets of the city center.

Most ninja clans silently observed how things would develop, while only a small number of clans with deep ties to the Senju clans took action and clashed with the vassal clans of the Uchiha lineage. The battle was fierce, yet a tacit understanding was revealed in the clashes.

Both sides understood that they were never the main protagonists in the battle, and now was not the time to fight to the death.

The battle between the Anbu and the Uchiha Security Forces escalated, with both sides engaging in fierce fighting. One Uchiha member was wounded, while another Anbu member was immediately covered in blood.

Both groups could suffer casualties at any moment, causing the battle to spiral out of control.

Wearing a patterned mask and a black hooded jumpsuit, the ANBU squad leader, codenamed "Tiger," dodged a blade slash from a three-tomoe Uchiha Jonin and was about to draw his sword to strike back when another three-tomoe Uchiha blocked his attack with a diagonal slash.

Seeing the three-tomoe Uchiha stagger as he blocked his attack, Tiger had no intention of being greedy or reckless. He moved sideways to avoid the thrust of the North District Squad Leader, Uchiha Zhili, who was in a blind spot.

(The Uchiha clan is too troublesome!)

Facing three pairs of Sharingan with three tomoe, and numerous Uchiha around him, Tiger, despite being a Kage-level fighter, dared not be careless in the slightest. His eyesight was practically ruined, and he kept his head down while fighting.

Because once you face a Sharingan with three tomoe in a group battle, you will be hit by a genjutsu if you are not careful. Even if you break free instantly, there will be a momentary pause.

With his terrifying insight, the three-tomoe Uchiha would never let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

One wrong move and you could die!

Understanding this, Tiger suddenly heard the sound of a blade slicing through a mask and the dull thud of a body falling to the ground. His expression beneath the mask was ashen, and the thought of using ninjutsu to escape his predicament welled up in his mind.

But this is the central area, where people live either from ninja clans or the families of Jonin. If I use ninjutsu and break the unspoken agreement between us not to use ninjutsu, the Uchiha on the other side will definitely follow up.

The impending disaster and the ensuing chaotic battle that would draw in the surrounding ninja clans gave Tiger a lot to worry about.

"Tiger, we're here!"

The fighting grew louder and louder, and a squad of secret agents monitoring the Uchiha clan's territory rushed over, immediately relieving Tiger's frustrating situation.

"Team Leader!"

At this moment, the large-scale Four Purple Flame Formation dissipated, and the Uchiha ninjas from the Northern District Security Department, now free to fight, arrived with swords and surrounded Uchiha Guri.

(The battle inside is over?!)

[Tiger] gazed at the dissipating sealing barrier and the Uchiha clan members emerging from the Sarutobi clan's territory.

Especially Uchiha Baru and Uchiha Naka, with whom he had dealt countless times, [Tiger] instantly understood that the Sarutobi clan had come to an end.

"Shall we continue fighting, Tiger?"

Wearing a long black robe, bandages around her waist, and a fan-shaped clan emblem tattooed on her back, the purple-haired beauty Uchiha Rinpoche, whose strength and looks are both top-notch, raised the gleaming tip of her sword and pointed it directly at the Anbu.

Seeing that there was a tendency for a ceasefire, the others slowed down and each took away the wounded, resulting in a standoff between the two groups.

The Anbu has three captains: Tiger, Explosion, and Bull. The Uchiha Police Department has four division captains.

Three of the dark squad leaders were filled with murderous intent; some of their dark squad members had already died!

"Continue fighting?"

"It is clearly you Uchiha who attacked your own village's ninja clan without cause. We are entrusted by the Hokage to monitor you and we must bring all of you troublemakers to justice!"

In perfect condition, [Baku], who had come to provide support, stared sharply at the area below the necks of the Uchiha members. Even with dozens of pairs of three-tomoe and two-tomoe Sharingan eyes staring at him, there was no hint of compromise in his tone.

For the sake of their fallen ANBU comrades, for the sake of the Sarutobi clan who suffered unjustly, and for the sake of the village's peace, the Uchiha must pay the price!

"The Hokage's orders? Do you think Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju are still alive?"

"What right do you have to call yourselves members of the Dark Guard?"

"Moreover, the next Hokage will undoubtedly belong to the Uchiha clan, to Young Master Wu'an!"

"When the time comes, you bunch of lost souls without the Hokage to protect you will all be kicked out!"

Uchiha Rai was also hot-tempered. The three tomoe in his eyes swirled, and his dense ocular power and Yin Release energy almost overflowed. His figure flashed, and he charged forward with his sword.

The two groups collided like a torrent in the blink of an eye.

The fighting between the two sides intensified.

At this point, no one cared about the unwritten rule of generals facing generals and soldiers facing soldiers. They would seize any opportunity to stab the enemy, and the splattered blood would stain the streets and houses.

Uchiha Takeoshi, standing at the door, his crimson Mangekyou Sharingan wide open, held the orange-skin seat in one hand and slowly walked towards the battlefield, coldly watching the fighting among the crowd.

The Uchiha who came out with him continued to participate in the battle, but Sarutobi Sasuke, who appeared later, immediately attracted the attention of all the Anbu.

(Not dead?)

(Did the Uchiha merely capture them?)

The three squad leaders gasped in shock.

Since the Sarutobi clan was not wiped out and the current clan leader is still alive, the matter cannot be classified as a rebellion by the Uchiha Police Department.

Instead, they were the ones who provoked the conflict between the Senju Forest, no, the Anbu who had failed to obey the Hokage's orders and violated their duties, and the Uchiha Police Department!

But since they were already locked in a fierce battle, it was no longer realistic to expect a complete retreat.

The ANBU squad leader, [Ushi], instantly dodged the blade of the South Squad leader, Uchiha Baru, took out a signal flare, and fired it directly into the sky.

A dazzling light bloomed in the sky above the leaf-covered trees.

Even faster was Uzumaki Mito, who had already spotted Uchiha Takehiro with Kagura's Mind's Eye. Her body was enveloped in ominous, dark red Nine-Tails chakra, and she was heading straight for the battlefield at supersonic speed, creating a whirlwind of turbulence.

"People who call for backup when they can't win a fight are the most rude people."

"So, you want to die once... want to try?"

Upon hearing the whisper that had just drifted into his ears, [Niu] felt a sharp pain in his chest, and collapsed limply to the ground. The last thing he saw was a pair of evil, cold kaleidoscopes.

"ox!"

The disappearance of the Kage-level chakra instantly escalated the carnage to another level. Uchiha Baru stared fanatically at Uchiha Takeo, and with the boy's nod, he drew his sword and slashed at the ANBU squad leader, Tiger.

With the further liberation of high-level combat power, the pressure on the Dark Division [Tiger, Explosion] has increased dramatically, almost suffocatingly.

Even ninjutsu began to clash.

A sudden gust of wind arose, flames filled the sky, and surrounding buildings collapsed one after another. The ninja passersby who were caught in the blast were forced to begin their own defense and fight back.

Hyuga's Byakugan scanned the battlefield, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio's sensory ninjutsu covered the entire area, the Aburame clan's insects secretly lurked, and Minamoto no Kazuhiko nervously began the evacuation of the Konoha embassy...

This sudden battle has touched the hearts of everyone.

Uchiha Takeo casually dealt with a few clueless ANBU Chunin and Jonin, his gaze shifting slightly as he watched Uchiha Rinpoche, who was flitting among the swords like a purple butterfly.

Then, sensing the boundless Nine-Tails chakra behind him, he flashed away like the most elite and unbeatable assassin in the ninja world.

Silently arriving behind [Explosion], who was fighting against Uchiha, Uchiha Takeo, under the uninterested gaze of Tachibana Juza in his arms, extinguished his life force with a single strike.

"Thank you, Minister."

Uchiha had just expressed his gratitude when he felt an immense, unstoppable chakra crash down on him like a mountain. All the ninjas involved in the battle felt a sense of dread, as if a herbivore had encountered a predator at the top of the food chain.

The ordinary members of the Sarutobi clan fared even worse, all collapsing to the ground, but their illusions were shattered by the oppressive force.

"Uchiha Takehiko!"

An angry shout echoed around her. Mito Uzumaki, her body filled with rage and murderous intent, looked at the streets littered with corpses and devastation. Her dignified and beautiful face was covered with an unyielding layer of frost.

The members of the Anbu began to retreat, and the nearby ninja clans began to flee. The Uchiha clan stood behind Uchiha Muan. At this moment, Uzumaki Mito stared directly at the Mangekyou Sharingan with her phoenix eyes, her tone icy.

"Making such a big commotion."

"They killed so many people."

"Are you prepared to die, Uchiha Takeoshi?"
