Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 218 The Death of Fugaku (Part 2)

"Clan leader, you must leave quickly, we'll cover your retreat," the two-tomoe Jonin said with a determined look.

"Yes, Chieftain."

"The enemy is too strong, and there are people lurking in the shadows waiting for an opportunity to strike. The chances of winning are really slim."

"We only hope that you will have the opportunity to avenge us in the future."

The three-tomoe Jonin then spoke, his expression equally resolute.

As for their families, neither of them mentioned them, believing that the clan chief they were risking their lives to protect would not mistreat their families.

Fugaku was deeply moved. He wanted to leave but couldn't bear to leave behind the honor and face of the Uchiha clan, so he hesitated.

"Don't waste your energy. Do you think you can escape my space-time ninjutsu?"

"Just obediently prepare to die!"

As he spoke, Obito activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, and the spatial vortex reappeared. Countless shuriken shot out from the spatial vortex at extremely high speed.

"Hurry, chieftain!"

After the two Jonin finished speaking, they stepped forward to block Fugaku. Their Sharingan spun rapidly, maximizing their perception, and their ninja swords moved with impenetrable skill.

Clang, clang, clang... The flying shuriken was deflected, sparks flew out continuously, and tiny nicks appeared on the fine ninja sword.

Seeing this, Fugaku made up his mind and turned to run away.

At this moment, Tobi arrived, but instead of intercepting Fugaku, he attached himself to Obito.

Obito quickly retreated a distance, his body rapidly sucked into the spatial vortex, and the attacks of the two Uchiha Jonin landed in empty space.

The next moment, the spatial vortex reappeared, and Obito Uchiha landed in front of Fugaku.

"I told you, you can't escape no matter what..."

Fugaku's solemn expression suddenly softened, and he smiled with relief, saying, "Since we can't escape, it's a fight to the death."

"You're wrong, it's you who die and me who lives."

Obito spoke, his calm tone carrying an air of superiority.

Clan chief?

Tsk tsk, he used to be such a high and mighty, unattainable figure.

Now they are fleeing in disarray before him, their lives hanging by a thread.

Fearing for Fugaku's safety, two Uchiha Jonin spared no effort, using their chakra to arrive in quick succession, arriving just as Obito finished speaking.

"There's no way to escape; we have no choice but to fight to the death."

"Even if I don't succeed in the end, I won't be alone because you'll be with me on my journey to the Pure Land."

Fugaku Uchiha glanced at the figures on his left and right, his tone calm, indicating that he was mentally prepared.

The two Jonin exchanged a glance and laughed, "We are willing to die with the clan leader, but we would rather fight our way out together with him."

"Tsk tsk, what a touching scene." Obito shook his head, quite interested.

"Shut up, you bastard who has defiled the Uchiha bloodline!"

"What are you yelling about, spouting nonsense about the Uchiha's shame?"

The two Jonin turned around and cursed loudly, but their eyes deliberately avoided Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan in his right eye.

"Hahaha... Well said, well said!"

"A born child, but no one to teach him, an orphan, a bastard, a beast, a scoundrel!" Fugaku laughed loudly.

Obito Uchiha, his defenses broken by the three of them, laughed angrily, "Heh heh... I was planning to play with you guys a little longer, but now I've decided to send you all to the Pure Land right away."

Wood Release: The Tree World is Born!

Trees and vines broke through the soil and snow, rising rapidly and transforming into a lush forest in a short time.

Combined with the existing trees, the density of this forest has reached its limit, with sunlight barely reaching the ground and wind and snow unable to penetrate it.

Countless branches and vines of varying sizes swept towards Fugaku and his companions like a swarm of venomous snakes and giant pythons, densely packed and incredibly powerful, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

Obito's Advent of the Tree World wasn't on the same scale as Hashirama's or Madara's; it was roughly the same as the Advent of the Tree World used by Hashirama after he was resurrected with Edo Tensei in Part 1.

However, Fugaku and his two companions were already mentally prepared for death. If they were not afraid of death, they would naturally not be afraid of deadly attacks.

The three of them formed hand seals, stood back to back, and unleashed their most powerful Fire Release ninjutsu.

The surging orange-red flames transformed into a 360-degree, all-encompassing wave of fire, completely burning the first wave of branches and vines that attacked.

However, due to the existence of the Eight Gates within the body, there is a limit to the time a ninja can maintain a technique.

Even when the three were unable to stop, a continuous stream of branches and vines continued to sweep in.

After that, the three of them had no more opportunities to form hand seals and cast spells; they could only dodge and slash with their weapons.

However, if one cannot escape or destroy most of the forest immediately when faced with a ninjutsu like the Descent of the Tree World, all subsequent struggles will be in vain.

Even with the Sharingan's perception, it could only struggle a little longer. The attacks from those branches and vines were dense and would come from all directions and blind spots, making it impossible to defend against.

The two-tomoe Jonin was caught first, followed closely by the three-tomoe Jonin. Fugaku struggled for a moment before being caught as well.

The branches and vines wrapped around the three people's bodies again and again, and a thick, pale green vine wrapped around their necks and pulled them backward.

A sharp crack echoed as the necks of all three were forcibly snapped simultaneously.

Fortunately, his head wasn't violently ripped off, so he was left with a complete body.

The branches and vines moved, and the three corpses were relayed to Obito Uchiha.

Because of the pressure from the branches and vines, his internal organs were severely damaged, blood flowed from his mouth, nose, ears and eyes, his whites of his eyes were blood red, his pupils were blood-tinged with black, his head was tilted back at an abnormal angle, and his body was covered in wounds. His death was very tragic.

Obito was completely unafraid. He used both hands to gouge out the eyeballs of Fugaku and the three-tomoe Jonin, smashing the eyeballs into the bottle, his hands stained with blood.

Obito actually wanted the two-tomoe Sharingan quite a bit. Although it wasn't as powerful as the three-tomoe Sharingan and couldn't be used for Izanagi, it was still a good material.

However, Obito had to give up because of the plan; if he was going to deduct, he had to deduct all the two-tomoe gems, and he couldn't leave just one person without deducting any.

After gouging out his eyes, Obito used vines to casually toss away the corpses of Fugaku and the other two, and then headed to where Uchiha Tatsumi was.

Upon arrival, Tobi dismounted from Obito and transformed into a normal White Zetsu.

Obito grabbed Uchiha Taru, pried open his eyelids, aimed his right Mangekyou Sharingan at the pupil, and began to cast a genjutsu.

The purpose of genjutsu is to make Uchiha Tatsu overlook some possible flaws, making him more likely to believe what he sees and hears.

With a thud, Obito casually tossed Uchiha Tadashi onto the ground and said in a deep voice, "Let's begin."

Afei nodded slightly, then used the Disguise Technique to transform into the appearance of Uchiha Gen, with the same looks, build, temperament, and chakra.

Obito and Tobi disappeared, and the lurking White Zetsu also left.

Not long after, Uchiha Tadashi, covered in a thin layer of snow, slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was unfocused, and he was clearly not in a daze.

"I'm not dead?"

Soon, his eyes focused, and Uchiha Tadashi, supporting his weak and numb body, crawled up from the snow. He felt a pain in his back and touched his hands, which were covered in blood.

Taking out medicine and bandages from his ninja tool pouch, Uchiha Tadashi felt the limited chakra within him and hesitated for a moment before bandaging himself.

After treating his wounds, Uchiha Tatsu went to find Fugaku and the others, using his sensory ninjutsu to carefully and slowly sneak up.

After walking about seven or eight hundred meters, two powerful chakra auras appeared in his senses. Uchiha Tadashi hesitated for a moment, then cautiously crept forward...
