Chapter 99 Spring in Konoha (Part 2)

Inside the Hokage's office, Uchiha Touhuan gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a deep look before turning and walking out.

"Douhuan, where are you going?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked hurriedly.

"Of course, we're going to deal with the enemies invading the village," Uchiha Touhuan said, glancing back at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"I'll go with you." Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up, intending to follow Touken Uchiha.

"The Third Hokage is getting on in years; it would be better if he didn't have to travel so much," Uchiha Touhuan said coldly.

Just then, Fugaku Uchiha blocked Hiruzen Sarutobi's path.

Fugaku Uchiha, who had stopped Hiruzen Sarutobi, couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity as he looked at the scene before him.

Six years ago, during the Nine-Tails' rampage, Fugaku Uchiha intended to lead his clansmen to support the Fourth Hokage, but as soon as they left the clan's territory, Danzo Shimura and the Root members blocked their way at the gate.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and sat back in his office chair. The timing of the masked man's appearance was too coincidental, and coupled with what he said, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't explain it clearly even if he wanted to.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi watched Touhou Uchiha walk out of the Hokage's office, the image of Minato Namikaze involuntarily surfaced in his mind. Six years ago, that equally young man had also gone to meet the enemy without hesitation, just like that.

"Uchiha Itachi! Who is he? And what is his relationship with you?" Kakashi put down the unconscious Shisui and looked at Uchiha Itachi, questioning him.

However, as soon as Kakashi finished speaking, a scythe shot towards him. After dodging the attack, Kakashi gathered lightning in his right hand and attacked the opponent. In an instant, the roaring lightning sounded like a thousand birds singing.

Upon seeing this ninjutsu, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Obito's eyes beneath the mask.

The instant Kakashi's Lightning Blade made contact with Obito's body, Obito's body became intangible, passing right through Kakashi. Kakashi whirled around, only to find a scythe slashing down at him from behind. Due to the immense momentum of the Lightning Blade, Kakashi only had time to twist his waist and use his Lightning Blade to meet the incoming scythe.

Even if this attack lands, Kakashi will definitely be severely injured.

At this critical moment, a dark shadow wrapped around Kakashi's waist and dragged him out of the range of the scythe's slash.

Kakashi fell to the ground somewhat awkwardly, rolling a few times to dissipate the impact.

The dark figure that had been wrapped around Kakashi's waist then withdrew and returned to Shikaku Nara's feet.

Kakashi glanced back gratefully at Nara Shikaku, then turned to look at Uchiha Obito. At that moment, Kakashi keenly noticed that although his ninjutsu hadn't hit, the scythe in Obito's hand had been slightly marked by the lightning.

Will the entity be exposed during an attack?

Kakashi's eyes flashed, and he once again rallied his forces to charge at the enemy. Having learned from his previous experience, Kakashi was much more vigilant this time. As he charged toward Obito Uchiha, he released many feinting ninjutsu to cover his movements.

"Captain Uchiha Itachi!" After rescuing Kakashi, Nara Shikaku turned to Itachi and demanded sharply, "What's going on here? Don't you know that involving forces from outside the village completely changes the nature of this matter?!"

"I...I don't know either, I didn't call this guy!" Itachi Uchiha quickly explained.

"Heh, junior, your words make me quite sad." Obito Uchiha, who used intangibility to dodge Kakashi's feint ninjutsu and shuriken, turned to look at everyone. "Besides, strictly speaking, I'm not exactly an outside force. I was the one who founded this village back then."

As he spoke, Obito Uchiha raised his head, showing everyone his exposed Mangekyou Sharingan.

The Uchiha clan members present were all shocked upon seeing those Sharingan eyes and immediately shouted angrily, "Who are you? Where did you get your Sharingan?"

"Don't you understand yet?" Obito Uchiha said mysteriously. "My name is Madara Uchiha."

"What?" Upon hearing this name, all the Uchiha clan members present were stunned.

Just then, Kakashi's real attack arrived, the lightning bolt in his hand whistling as it pierced towards the opponent's back. At this moment, the windmill-like kaleidoscope pattern in the masked man's Sharingan spun rapidly, and his body became intangible again. Only after Kakashi passed through his body did his physical form reappear.

However, this time, Kakashi, who was prepared, suddenly stopped and twisted his waist, turning around to stop his body abruptly. At the same time, he kicked the ground hard, disregarding the damage such a forceful action would cause to his muscles. Lightning flashed in his hand as he thrust it towards his opponent.

Kakashi's sudden move completely caught Obito Uchiha off guard. As he withdrew his attack, he entered a state of intangibility.

Just as I expected.

Although this attack was unsuccessful, Kakashi did gain information about his opponent. Using the momentum of the Lightning Blade's acceleration, he attempted to create distance between himself and Obito Uchiha.

However, at that moment, Kakashi's left Sharingan suddenly experienced excruciating pain.

The sudden, sharp pain made Kakashi pause, and Obito, of course, wouldn't let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip by, and took the initiative to appear and attack Kakashi.

Just as Kakashi was about to die, a bolt of lightning as thick as a thigh descended from the sky.

Obito Uchiha quickly went intangible, but after the lightning subsided, a figure crackling with lightning appeared. With a kick, he sent Kakashi out of the battle, and at the same time, his right fist, wrapped in lightning, slammed heavily toward Obito's face.

Maintaining his intangible state, Obito endured the punch, passing right through his opponent. He then turned and swung his sword, but a Susanoo arm appeared out of thin air, blocking Obito's scythe. A violent current instantly wrapped around Obito along the chain connecting the scythe.

Seeing this, Obito had no choice but to enter the Hollowfication state again, disappearing into the air before reappearing not far away.

After forcing Obito back, the newcomer stopped in place, and a black Susanoo war god rose from the ground.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the newcomer.

"Touhuan!" Kakashi stood up, covering his left eye and panting heavily. Blood was seeping from between his fingers, but he didn't care about that. He quickly told Uchiha Touhuan the information he had obtained, "Be careful. His body can become intangible, but he will reveal his true form when he attacks."

"Junior, who are you?" Obito Uchiha didn't care at all about the information Kakashi had revealed, and just stared at Touhuan Uchiha and asked.

"Where did this scoundrel come from? Stealing my clan's bloodline is one thing, but daring to impersonate my clan's ancestor's name is another." Uchiha Touhuan said coldly, his pale purple eyeshadow paired with the Mangekyou Sharingan that had turned into a vertical pupil in the center, giving him an eerie aura.

The latest novel is first published here!

After Uchiha Touhuan's Susanoo took shape, a series of blue runes carrying natural energy fluctuations appeared on the surface of his armor, and two long swords formed from raging lightning were also born in his hands.

"Is this how the descendants of the Uchiha treat their ancestors?" After being scolded by Uchiha Touhuan, Obito, whose lips twitched under the mask, spoke up.

"Hmph." Uchiha Touhuan snorted coldly, then his Susanoo swung its sword at his opponent, the surging lightning streaking through the air and making a series of explosions.

Obito Uchiha disappeared into the air again, and the next instant, he appeared behind Touhuan Uchiha, his weapon aimed at Touhuan's back.

However, Obito's usually invincible sneak attack methods seemed to have no effect on Uchiha Touhuan. Wherever Uchiha Obito appeared, a fierce lightning dragon burst out of the ground, once again forcing Uchiha Obito to become intangible.

"Speak, who exactly are you?" After forcing Obito back again, Uchiha Touhuan used the Eight-Headed Serpent Form to manipulate natural energy and lifted himself into the air, looking down at Uchiha Obito. "Lord Madara has had achievements and made mistakes in his life, but he could never be a cowardly coward hiding his head in the sand."

"Junior! You are so rude!" Uchiha Touhuan's repeated use of the term "coward" quickly ignited Uchiha Obito's anger. After regrouping, Obito attacked Uchiha Touhuan again.

Seeing this, Uchiha Touhuan transformed into lightning and rushed forward. The lightning collided with the distorted void, producing a series of eerie muffled sounds.

Under Uchiha Touhuan's intentional or unintentional guidance, the two quickly fought their way from the village all the way to the Forest of Death.

The series of thunderclaps woke up many villagers who were forced to stay at home due to the martial law. When they came to the window, they witnessed a scene they would never forget.

The enormous Susanoo brandished its twin lightning blades in the air, and the crackling lightning around it illuminated the night sky as if it were daytime, as if the god of thunder had descended to earth.

……

After Uchiha Touhuan took Uchiha Obito away, an eerie silence fell over the scene.

Everyone, regardless of which side they were on before, looked at Uchiha Itachi with strange eyes.

"Uchiha Itachi, you've colluded with outside ninjas to attack your own comrades. Are you trying to rebel?" Kakashi covered his left eye and questioned Uchiha Itachi.

"I told you, that guy has nothing to do with me!" Itachi Uchiha argued. "Besides, shouldn't you be the ones rebelling?"

Uchiha Itachi looked around and knew that the situation was beyond saving, but for the sake of his beliefs, he decided to fight to the last moment.

Uchiha Itachi drew his ninja sword, preparing for a desperate fight.

However, at that moment, Jiraiya, who was being escorted by Uchiha Inahisa and Uchiha Zaito, suddenly arrived at the scene. After glancing at Uchiha Itachi with some reluctance, he said, "Stop, Itachi."

"Lord Jiraiya?" Itachi Uchiha looked up and noticed Jiraiya, then immediately called out, "Lord Jiraiya, don't worry, I'm coming to save you!"

"That's enough, Itachi, stop," Jiraiya said with a sigh.
