The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

“Hui, I have no knowledge of Danzo’s actions. Please stop. I think there might be some misunderstanding.”

What else can we do in this situation? Naturally, we need to stabilize Hui first. We can't really start a fight, can we? We need to stabilize Hui first, and then investigate.

Danzo wouldn't do something like that and leave obvious evidence against him, would he?

No way?

We learned our lesson the hard way last time!

The third generation said that if this left any evidence against him, he would really have no choice but to give up.

Of course, I'm just saying that; how could a good buddy give up?

"No misunderstanding. Do you think I, a Kage-level sage, lack even this basic discernment? Not only Team 7, but Elder Danzo has also devised numerous methods to target me and Minato."

Knowing what the third generation is thinking, Hui will definitely not give in to his wishes.

The Third Hokage was too lazy to pay attention to Hui's ungratefulness; his thoughts were still preoccupied with what Hui had said about Danzo's attack on Hui and Minato.

After pondering the words several times to make sure he hadn't misheard or misunderstood, the Third Hokage looked at Danzo with disbelief and a hint of anger, "Danzo, what exactly are you trying to do!"

For some reason, the Third Hokage thought of White Fang.

It can be said that white teeth are a perpetual source of pain for him.

He may have tacitly approved of the suppression of White Fang back then, but he would never have thought of eliminating White Fang.

White Fang's sudden suicide caught the Third Hokage off guard, and he even felt guilty about it for a long time afterward.

Not wanting White Fang to compete for Hokage doesn't mean you hate White Fang.

You have to understand, White Fang came from the Anbu, and was the former head of the Anbu. He was trained by three generations of people, so how could he not have any feelings for him?

That's why he felt quite guilty towards Kakashi.

Now that the same thing has happened again, the Third Hokage is even a little frightened, fearing that Akira and Minato will suffer the same fate.

Moreover, unlike White Fang, one of them is a candidate for the next Hokage whom he truly favors!

"Hiruzen, everything I did was for Konoha!"

Danzo neither confirmed nor denied it, only saying that everything he did was for Konoha.

At this point, the three generations have been basically determined, and Hui's statement is correct.

“Hui, the matter still needs to be investigated. There is no concrete evidence in this case. Danzo is an elder of Konoha, and Root is also part of the Anbu. Putting aside your attack on Root and assassination of Danzo for now, stop.”

Danzo's actions were so unacceptable to him that the Third Hokage seemed to age instantly and was too weak to speak.

Everyone else would have agreed upon seeing this, after all, look how much the Hokage aged in an instant, how pitiful. But Hui was different; he saw through it all, the Third Hokage was just acting.

Double standards! This is so damn double standards! So Danzo is fine as long as he attacks a top-tier expert who helped my village, and you don't even question him, but when I attack Root, it's a problem, and you're still "magnanimous" about it?

I beg you, please have some decency.

Hmph, if this isn't acting, I... well, I'd say he's acting anyway...

"Impossible! Today, either Danzo dies, or I die!"

Hui's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.

If the researchers have truly developed a technique to utilize interstitial cells, Hui certainly wouldn't leave Danzo behind; otherwise, the consequences would be too great.

It's important to understand that Hashirama Senju was a peak Kage-level shinobi, someone even the strongest in his current form couldn't defeat. If Root were to continue their research and allow Danzo to gain control of Hashirama Senju's power, things would become incredibly difficult.

Danzo himself is not scary, but Danzo who has mastered great power is different. Ambitious people without strength often die because their strength is not commensurate with their desires, but if they have strength, then it is not necessarily the case.

Hui Ke didn't underestimate Danzo at all; after all, Danzo was the one who had developed Root into such a powerful organization. The entire management and mechanisms of Root were handled by Danzo; the top intelligence agency in the ninja world was not something to be taken lightly.

"Hui!" The third generation's tone was already somewhat stern, mixed with a hint of dissatisfaction.

However, Hui wouldn't take the third generation's dissatisfaction to heart.

This time, he not only wants to kill Danzo, but he also wants to take revenge on the Third Hokage!

"Hui, what are you doing!"

The Third Hokage was shocked to see Hikaru begin to form hand seals, and even Fugaku Uchiha was taken aback and fell into a daze.

"Water Escape·Water Rush Wave"

The surrounding water began to gather, forming a huge waterspout around Hikaru, which rushed towards the Third Generation.

The Third Hokage immediately mobilized his chakra to protect himself.

Things happened too suddenly, and there wasn't enough time to form powerful ninjutsu hand seals. I could only use a few weaker ninjutsu techniques, which would at least increase my defense.

A wall of earth rose up in front of the third generation, and then his entire body hardened.

As expected, even with restraint, the hastily created earth wall failed to withstand the impact of the water tornado and was shattered.

However, this greatly reduced the power of the waterspout. The Third Hokage, who had used Hardening Technique, did not suffer any obvious injuries from the impact of the remaining waterspout; he was simply thrown a considerable distance away.

"Water Escape: Water-Severing Waves"

Suddenly, he spat out a jet of water, which shot rapidly toward Danzo, who was standing on the Baku.

Hui's target was never the Third Hokage, but Danzo.

"Wind Escape·Vacuum Jade"

Danzo unleashed a powerful air bomb, which collided with the water-breaking wave unleashed by Hikaru.

Unsurprisingly, the air bomb failed to withstand the cutting force of the water wave.

It's a technique from the Second Hokage, and it's even been improved from the Spirit Slash, greatly increasing its cutting power. How could it possibly be blocked by Danzo's ninjutsu, a guy whose Nature Transformation only reached the level of an elite Jonin and whose Kage-level strength was entirely built up with chakra?

Seeing that his ninjutsu had failed, Danzo used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge the cutting of the Water Severing Wave.

At this point, everything was clear: Hikaru was determined to kill Danzo, and no one could stop him.

The Third Hokage reacted and formed hand seals.

"Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall"

Unlike the hastily executed Earth Flow Wall before, this time, the Earth Flow Wall, empowered by the Third Hokage with nature transformation and complete hand seals, possessed extremely strong defensive power. Combined with its advantage against Water Release techniques, it blocked Hikaru's Water Severing Wave.

Even so, it was still a bit of a stretch.

The earth wall has been cut down to just the last thin layer of soil, and it has been almost completely cut through!

"How is that possible!"

The Third Hokage was in turmoil.

Earth Release counters Water Release, and even his full-force Earth Flow Wall could only barely block Hikaru's Water Severing Wave!

Once ninjas become powerful, the level of the ninjutsu itself is no longer the standard by which they judge its power; the level of the ninjutsu truly becomes merely a matter of difficulty in learning it. What truly affects the power of a ninjutsu is its nature transformation and the mastery of that elemental ninjutsu.

The Third Hokage was proficient in the Five Elements Release techniques and was known as the "Professor of Ninjutsu." This was no joke; his mastery of the Five Elements ninjutsu was practically unparalleled. Otherwise, the rumor of the Third Hokage being the strongest Hokage wouldn't have spread.

Even so, thanks to the elemental advantage, the Third Hokage could only barely withstand Hikaru's attack.

Moreover, it was the water wave that had been consumed by Danzo's Vacuum Great Jewel.

If Teru knew the shock the Third Generation felt, he would definitely dismiss it with disdain.

Ha, how can we be the same? I have a "water elemental root". Although it's not as complete as my original body, I cultivate wood release, so I have both an earth elemental root and a water elemental root. Moreover, after raising my wood release to the bloodline elimination level, I underwent a second nature transformation adaptation. Now, this body's affinity for water and earth release is arguably the strongest in the ninja world.

That's right, the most approachable ninja in the ninja world. The most suitable ninja for using Earth Release and Water Release!

Uh, not counting the main body.

"Earth Release: Thousand Raindrops"

Thousands of Earth Release techniques appeared and shot down towards the Third Hokage.

Fugaku Uchiha had already moved to the side, showing no intention of intervening. Of course, everyone present was a Kage-level ninja. Even Danzo possessed Kage-level attack and defense thanks to his massive chakra reserves. What could an elite Jonin like him possibly do?

"So fast!"

Although Hui's Thousand Needles Rain was not nearly as dense as rain, the number of needles was still extremely large. Such a powerful area-of-effect ninjutsu was completed in just one breath!

I hadn't realized this before, but I only realized how fast it was when we actually engaged in battle.

The affinity of Earth Release is no joke. Its power is immense, and its speed of execution is equally impressive. A higher affinity for Earth Release means that Earth Release chakra circulates much faster within the body.

The Third Hokage used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge the attacks of Senbon Shigure.

"The Art of Shadow Clone"

Hui used his shadow clone technique.

Under the control of the shadow clones, Earth Release: Senbon needles continuously condensed in the air and shot towards the Third Hokage, each strike accurately hitting within a ten-meter radius around him.

It's important to understand that this wasn't just one or two senbon needles, but hundreds, all of which were fired within a ten-meter radius around the Third Hokage, making it extremely difficult for him to deal with.

While using his shadow clones to hold off the Third Hokage, Hikaru continued to focus his attention on Danzo.

"Earth Escape - Great River of Earth"

"Earth Escape·Yellow Quan Marsh"

A large amount of soil turned into liquid, forming a great river that flowed towards Danzo. At the same time, the soil under Baku's feet also turned into liquid, becoming a swamp.

Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique

Hui wasn't finished, unleashing the Great Waterfall Technique once more. After all, this isn't a turn-based video game; is it wrong to use ninjutsu quickly?

A waterfall tens of meters high cascades down from the sky, mingling with the Tuliu River, and surges even more powerfully towards Danzang.

"Wind Release: Wind Tornado"

Seeing this, Danzo frantically channeled his chakra, and a fierce storm arose around him, forming a giant tornado that protected the two people—no, the person and the beast—in the eye of the storm.

The Baku was also cooperating with Danzo, opening its mouth wide and letting the airflow in. Instead of being swallowed, the airflow joined the storm, causing it to spin.

The turbulent river, merging with the massive waterfall, crashed against the enormous tornado, the colliding parts being flung in all directions by the storm.

Danzo was also suffering, struggling to maintain the rotation of the storm.

The mudslide continued to impact the tornado, and the scattered mud mixed with seawater flowed into the Yellow Springs Swamp, constantly expanding the swamp's area.

"Earth Escape Technique: Earth Prison"

"Water Escape Technique: Water Prison"

Hui successfully fused Wood Release, Earth Release, and Water Release ninjutsu, which can be used simultaneously. This means that he can circulate two types of chakra within his body at the same time, which is also an advantage of bloodline limit.
