Saving the Uchiha clan starts with becoming the clan leader.

"Let's do it this way!"

Ai immediately said.

Tsuchida was not surprised by the Raikage's decision; indecisiveness was not a problem for the Raikage.

Have you made up your mind?

“That’s right, Tsuchitai, immediately mobilize the manpower. This time I want to see for myself what kind of ability the Uchiha clan is capable of. Darui... I will avenge him.”

"I'll take care of it right away."

The earthen platform moved extremely quickly.

Within three minutes, a total of 234 people, including hope, were selected. They were all Jonin, almost wiping out the elite of the 6,000 Cloud Ninja, leaving only about 30 to assist Tsuchikage in leading the army.

"Our opponents are the Uchiha. Everyone, pair up and be careful of the Uchiha's genjutsu."

"Yes, Lord Raikage."

"Set off."

"Yes."

Tsuchikage watched the Raikage's figure disappear from sight, sighed silently, and focused on directing his army to retreat and dodge the aftershocks of the battle between Susanoo and the Eight-Tails. The two giants were truly locked in a stalemate. Shisui found that his attacks were unlikely to cause fatal damage to the Eight-Tails and wanted to use Kotoamatsukami, but the Eight-Tails was extremely vigilant and did not make eye contact with him from beginning to end.

The Sharingan genjutsu is a branch of ocular genjutsu belonging to the visual genjutsu category, and it needs to be activated through the eyes, the windows to the soul.

Just as auditory illusions require sound to reach the enemy's ears, visual illusions require the opponent to see their illusion. If the opponent cannot hear or see the illusion, then the illusion will not work.

Of course, neither Shisui nor Killer Bee wanted to be stuck in this frustrating stalemate. They exhausted all means to try to defeat their opponent. Tailed Beast Ball, Yasakani no Magatama, Tailed Beast Eight Scrolls, Susanoo Tsukumo... attacks with the destructive power to cause landslides and earthquakes constantly changed the surrounding terrain.

but,

However, they were never able to completely defeat their opponent.

"This opponent is on a completely different level from the Two-Tails!"

His breathing became somewhat labored after stopping.

Samehada could replenish his depleted eye power and chakra, but it could not eliminate the pain and exhaustion he felt. Wave after wave, like an endless tide, surged up and crashed against his body, trying to drag him into the dark seabed where no light could be seen.

so tired!

I sighed inwardly!

But no matter how exhausted he was, he had to persevere. Behind him were his clansmen and his companions in the village. If he fell here, then it would be up to his companions to face the monster that was the Eight-Tails... No matter what, he had to hold on until Zongxian arrived!

"Sealing techniques... I really need to learn some sealing techniques specifically for tailed beasts!"

Susanoo moved at will, and the armor on its chest suddenly sprang open.

Susanoo, Chapter 99

Emerald green chakra arrows shot out from the Susanoo's wide-open chest, raining down on the Eight-Tails like a storm. Each arrow contained extreme destructive power, enough to completely crush an entire three-story house. In that instant, more than a hundred arrows were shot out.

This is a unique technique possessed by Shisui's Susanoo; at least it seems that Sogen doesn't know this move.

just,

Such a powerful attack was still not enough to defeat the Eight-Tails.

[Tailed Beasts, Volume 8]

This is a 'power technique' that the Eight-Tails can only use in its complete form. It uses its tentacles to wrap around itself and spin at high speed, creating a huge storm with enough power to change the terrain over a large area. Since it can even change the terrain, it can naturally deflect and tear apart those flying chakra arrows.

It was another battle that ended in a draw. Apart from depleting some of their opponent's strength and making them a little tired, their biggest achievement was to once again ravage the land beneath their feet. Perhaps, after a few more battles like this, the Kusatsu Mountains will have to be renamed!

The mountains are being eroded into plains inch by inch!

"By the way, can you still hold on, right?"

"No problem, this is a piece of cake for me!"

In the space of consciousness, Killer Bee made a boastful statement in front of the Eight-Tails. Like Shisui, this was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a high-intensity battle. He still had chakra to spare, but he was actually quite mentally exhausted.

The Eight-Tails could clearly sense Killer Bee's mental decline.

only,

There was nothing it could do at this point. The power of Uchiha Shisui was something that even the tailed beasts could not easily destroy. After all, his eyes were inherited from the bloodline of the Six Paths Elder, so his inhuman strength was to be expected.

Having lived for a thousand years,

These tailed beasts knew very well that their power was not invincible. There would always be some 'monsters' among humans, most of whom were descendants of the Six Paths Elder, but there were also a small number of 'freaks' without any bloodline who could also leave them helpless.

After all,

Humans are the masters of this world!

[Chapter 189. The Third Pair of Mangekyou Sharingan (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)]

The wind and snow gradually intensified. The falling snowflakes, which were initially so small that they were easily torn into snow flakes by a slightly stronger wind, are now falling as hexagonal snowflakes the size of a fingernail. With the cold wind hitting their faces, they can feel the biting chill of winter.

"This damn weather."

Fugaku Uchiha breathed on his palm, feeling the faint warmth.

When they set off, they had no idea that it would snow so early in the Land of Hot Springs this year. Based on past experience, the warm climate of the Land of Hot Springs would not bring snow for another month or two. The fact that it snowed so early today meant that they hadn't made any preparations for the cold.

"To be honest, Fugaku, this environment is very favorable for us."

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha walked over, sword in hand.

"Yashiro, what you said... is true!"

There is no way to deny the correctness of what the Eighth Hokage said. The gradually increasing snowstorm is advantageous to the Uchiha. While the vision of ordinary people would be greatly affected by the snowstorm, the Sharingan of the Uchiha would be only slightly affected at this time.

In fact, in weather conditions like heavy snow, heavy rain, and dense fog, the Hyuga clan's Byakugan is almost unaffected, making the Hyuga clan the best choice for dealing with the Kirigakure ninja. The Kirigakure technique is practically useless in front of the Byakugan. Unfortunately, due to internal village conflicts, it is the Uchiha clan that frequently interacts with the Kirigakure ninja.

"They're here! As expected, the Cloud Ninja wouldn't give up so easily."

"The number of people... is not large!"

The Eighth Hokage gazed into the distance and added a sentence.

In the direction he was looking, streaks of lightning bypassed the Susanoo and the Eight-Tails that were fighting and rushed towards them.

"A smaller number of people doesn't necessarily mean they're easier to deal with. The Cloud Ninja who came this time are definitely all elites. Pass down the order: all those below the Jonin level, retreat."

"That would be very difficult for us!"

"Don't worry, we... won't lose. Besides, Chunin and Special Jonin can only delay things for a few minutes at most in a battle like this. There's no need to waste manpower like this. Many of them have bright futures ahead of them. It would be too much of a pity for them to fall here like this."

Fugaku Uchiha took a breath and said decisively.

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha was silent for two seconds, then glanced thoughtfully at the clan leader before turning to find someone to pass on the order. As a result, the formation of more than two hundred people thinned out again, leaving more than sixty people, of whom more than forty were Jonin of the Uchiha clan, who could be considered the elite of the Uchiha clan.

"Prepare for battle!"

Fugaku Uchiha stood atop a protruding rock, watching the approaching Cloud Ninja, and at the opportune moment shouted:

"put!"

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique

[Wind Release: Great Breakthrough]

Twenty Jonin from the Uchiha clan were arranged in two staggered rows. The front row unleashed the Great Fireball Technique, while the back row unleashed the Great Breakthrough Technique. The wind fueled the fire, and in an instant, a raging flame seven or eight meters high swept towards the Cloud Ninja charging forward like a crimson tsunami.

The Uchiha clan's Jonin all possess at least two chakra natures.

Fire Release techniques are the foundation of the Uchiha clan.

As the best partner of Fire Release, Wind Release has always been the first choice for Jonin of the Uchiha clan to learn. Not to mention that many of the Uchiha-style sword techniques also require the use of Wind Release chakra. Therefore, there is no shortage of ninjas in the Uchiha clan who can use Wind Release.

then,

The Uchiha clan greeted the Cloud Ninja who had come from afar with an extremely warm greeting!

"Tsk! They're all pretty strong!"

"Four people is quite a lot."

"Don't be too greedy. If the Cloud Ninja were so easy to deal with, they wouldn't have suffered so many defeats before."

The Jonin of the Uchiha clan were buzzing with discussion.

The blazing flames couldn't obscure the Sharingan's vision; the Cloud Ninja's reactions were clearly visible. They witnessed the Cloud Ninja's astonishingly fast reaction speed. Except for four who were slightly slower and couldn't dodge the tsunami-like onslaught of flames, the rest instantly changed direction and scattered to the sides, flanking and advancing from both flanks…

Do not,

Not all.

However, one person increased their charging speed once again, their entire body wreathed in dazzling lightning, and forcefully broke through the sea of ​​fire.

"They're all Jonin, taking down four at once is already quite an achievement... Retreat! Retreat!!!" The Uchiha Jonin who was speaking cried out in alarm. The combined wind and fire ninjutsu attack created by twenty people working together could even shatter rocks, yet someone still managed to withstand it and charge forward.

Is this even human?

The answer is, of course, a person, and a Raikage at that!

Emerging from the sea of ​​fire, A's speed was already at its peak. His entire body was wrapped in lightning that writhed like a python, and his hair stood on end. This was his strongest form, the [Lightning Release Chakra Mode], where both speed and defense reached their limits.

then,

【Thunder Plow Hot Knife】

Before most of the Uchiha could even see clearly, A's arm hooked around Uchiha Juichi's neck, and with overwhelming force, he easily severed that fragile neck. The next second, the world in Uchiha Juichi's eyes seemed to churn like a jar, and then everything was plunged into boundless darkness.

"Shouhe!!!"

Fugaku Uchiha let out a hoarse roar.

However, no matter how angry he was, he could not change the fact that Uchiha Toshiwa had died in battle. This outstanding young man, who was once a staunch confidant of Uchiha Fugaku, ended his short life in this way. He did not even get married.

How could he possibly face his birthday celebration and his deceased father?

Gazing at Uchiha Toshikazu's headless corpse, still gushing blood, Fugaku Uchiha felt an immeasurable rage surge within him. Toshikazu's father, a senior a few years his senior, had sacrificed himself on the battlefield to save him. At his senior's grave, he had vowed to take care of Toshikazu…

But now his vow has been broken.

"Get out of my way, all of you!!!"

In Fugaku Uchiha's crimson eyes, the jet-black tomoe swirled rapidly, merging together in an instant to form a strange shape: three thin, curved, jet-black blades, with three jet-black dots between them...

On him,
