Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

"Boom!"

A giant pillar of iron nails that appeared out of nowhere.

With extreme ferocity, he forcibly pinned the two to the ground, the excruciating pain they felt, their bodies completely unable to move.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

As it let out a series of piercing screams.

In the real world.

"Whoosh!"

In the blink of an eye.

"Pfft!"

The katana that Tsukasa drew, with its sharp and direct blade, easily killed two Jonin from Kumogakure the moment it pierced through the air. The vast expanse of time in the genjutsu world was placed into a mere few seconds in the real world.

As the earthen wall collapsed, raising dust and scattering it.

What came into Troy's view was the horrific sight of Shoji's face stained with blood, and the corpses of his two Jonin companions lying in pools of blood on either side.

With just that one glance, Troy felt a chill run down his spine, his body going cold. Although Troy had always considered himself second only to his own Raikage and the two Jinchuriki in Kumogakure, he knew very well that he was still a long way from becoming a Kage. The two Jonin companions who were traveling with him were slightly weaker than him, but it would still take him a lot of effort to defeat them, let alone kill them.

And now, his two companions have died tragically right before his eyes.

It still takes only two or three seconds.

That moment when my vision was obscured.

You can't see what's happening inside at all.

To say something that even Troy himself found laughable, at this moment, a rare sense of fear surfaced deep within him: his Jonin comrade had died in battle, and his Chunin subordinates had gone after the retreating and fleeing Konoha ninja.

Only two people remained at the scene.

One-on-one.

There was absolutely no chance of winning.

But even so.

"I will absolutely not back down here!"

A fierce glint appeared in Troy's eyes.

"boom!"

In the next moment.

A tremendous aura erupted from Troy.

There is no way to go back.

There was no way to retreat.

This is my place of 'death'!

Looking at the final look of madness on Troy's face.

"Your courage is commendable, then let me send you on your way with my strongest attack, Magnet Release Ninja - Troy!"

Jiang Si smiled coldly.

44. Susanoo! (Please add to your favorites)

The moment the three jet-black tomoe that spun rapidly in those pupils connected perfectly.

The shape of the four corner windmills is fully displayed.

Then, in Troy's suddenly wide-eyed gaze...

A colossal and terrifying purple-gold skeletal giant appeared before him.

"What is this thing!?"

The Mangekyou Sharingan is the supreme secret technique passed down through generations of the Uchiha clan. Ever since the rumor of Madara Uchiha's death at the Valley of the End, these 'evil and terrifying' eyes have never appeared in the ninja world again. Apart from the Third Hokage and the Third Tsuchikage, who are truly elderly and powerful, no one in this era has ever witnessed the real Mangekyou Sharingan, nor do they know what these eyes represent!

What appeared before Troy at that moment was the supreme technique represented by the Mangekyou Sharingan—Susanoo, a technique that only members of the Uchiha clan who have awakened these eyes are qualified and capable of using.

Previously, I couldn't find a suitable opportunity, let alone a suitable opponent.

Now, with only two people present, Troy was barely qualified to use this technique. Without any hesitation, he directly used Susanoo, even though it was only the first form of the Skull Mode. The oppressive and intimidating power it brought was something that ordinary ninjas could not withstand.

Troy was completely stunned at that moment.

This is something beyond his comprehension.

This terrifying purple-gold skeletal giant, comparable to a tailed beast, left Troy speechless. His wide-open pupils and uncontrollably trembling body revealed the overwhelming turmoil in Troy's heart at that moment.

"It is your honor to witness the supreme technique of our Uchiha clan—Susanoo! Farewell!"

The deepest part of Jiang Si's pupils turned an even more intense crimson.

At the moment of Echizen.

A terrifying aura emanated from it.

As a surging wave rolled in.

"Slash!"

It covers almost the entire area in front of you.

"Boom!"

A figure to the side.

A gigantic golden blade appeared out of thin air on Susanoo's right palm, and with a precise angle, it swung down with a powerful strike.

"The soul is pale!"

The terrifying pressure that rushed towards us.

Troy, who had fully regained consciousness at that moment, revealed a ferocious look on his face. The last burst of chakra he released, a surge of black stone, condensed and formed a black wall in front of him.

However, this seemingly impregnable defense...

At the moment his purple-gold slash arrived.

"Boom!"

In the blink of an eye.

That was the 'Black Jade Wall' that vanished into thin air.

"Do not!!!!"

An attack that is completely overwhelming and forceful.

A frozen figure.

Troy, who had no time to react, could only watch helplessly as the giant blade swung toward him.

After being covered by that purple-gold slash.

As that piercing scream faded away.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar followed, accompanied by a terrifying, towering purple-gold wave.

At the moment of explosion.

"boom!"

After a huge wave rose and roared, it slowly subsided, and when everything returned to calm.

"Da da da da!"

Jiang Si walked lightly to the spot where Troy had been standing. The purple-gold skeletal giant that had vanished returned to its black and white pupils, and looking at the Troy corpse that had been cut in two, its pupils still held a cold look.

'To die beneath Susanoo, you already have something to be proud of, Troy!'

Although he could kill the Magnet Release ninja in front of him without Susanoo, the guy's personal strength was still very high, and his use of Magnet Release was at a very high level. It would take a lot of effort to deal with him using ordinary methods. It just so happened that he hadn't found a suitable opportunity to test his Mangekyou Sharingan's exclusive eye technique and Susanoo for a while. Without any other 'spectators', Troy was the most suitable test subject for him.

It turns out that even the first form of Susanoo is not something that ordinary ninjas can resist. At least a Kage-level ninja is needed to confront it head-on. The first time he activated Susanoo, he gained a very profound understanding. At present, he can probably only activate the first form of Susanoo. The second and third forms require the accumulation of experience and adaptation.

However, these are all just a matter of time.

'On the contrary, the issue of pupil energy depletion needs to be paid more attention to.'

Jiang Si gently touched the corner of his eye, thinking to himself.

If all else fails, I'll go and make a deal with Orochimaru. From this mad scientist, there's a chance I can get the First Hokage's cells and genes. Of course, this is only a last resort, and who knows if my plan will even work? Besides, Orochimaru is no pushover.

Unless there is really no other choice, Shoji is not very willing to deal with 'Snake Uncle'.

"team leader!"

Then, just as Shoji was about to turn around and support his comrades after quickly clearing the battlefield, seven or eight figures suddenly appeared not far away. Familiar voices followed. The leader was Hirahiro, a Chunin in charge of intelligence gathering in his squad. The others who came with him were all Konoha squads like Shoji, responsible for reconnaissance and counter-attacks in this area.

There are the Aburame clan, the Akimichi clan, and the Yamashiro clan.

These people had received the distress signal from the Squad earlier and rushed to the battlefield, only to run into Hirahiro and the others who were being chased, instantly turning the Cloud Ninja, who originally had the advantage in numbers, into a disadvantageous situation.

A counter-encirclement and confrontation.

In the end, just as Tsukasa was dealing with Troy and the other two Jonin from Kumogakure, Hirahiro and his team also completely wiped out the pursuing Kumogakure squad. Only one of them managed to escape with serious injuries using Lightning Release techniques, while the rest were all killed.

Konoha only suffered one death and three serious injuries.

Then a few people stayed behind to clean up the battlefield and take care of the wounded.

The remaining people, led by Hirahiro, rushed toward the commander's location. In Hirahiro's view, his captain was facing an attack from three Jonin from Kumogakure, one of whom was the famous Magnet Release ninja, Troy. The situation must be very critical.

The time we've spent together, and my earlier action of proactively covering their retreat to allow them to withdraw first.

Pingkuan kept all of this in mind.

45. Unbelievable

He was born a commoner ninja.

He didn't care much about the infighting in the village; he only cared about things that were closely related to him. Jiang Si was his comrade, his captain, and had been kind to them, so he had to do his best to help him. Staying there before would only have been a hindrance to Jiang Si, but now it was time to turn back and support his captain immediately.

This is how the plot was originally supposed to unfold.
