The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Not to mention, three years have passed since then. With a deeper understanding of natural energy, the enhancement of various ninjutsu by infusing natural energy has become even greater, including the Spirit Slash. It's stronger than the Spirit Slash of that time, so breaking through the Monkey King's defenses is only natural.

Hmph, this time I'm going to make Hiruzen Sarutobi feel bad!

If you don't stop, I'll chop down the ape demon!

Tsunade is very close now; let's make our move soon.

Hui ignored the Third Generation and activated the Body Flicker Technique and Propulsion Technique, leaping into the air while continuing to use the Propulsion Technique to maintain his speed.

In an instant, he appeared in front of Danzo, and the blade formed from the water chakra on his kunai suddenly extended, transforming into a blade several meters long.

cut!

With his body trapped, he could only forcefully perform ninjutsu without hand seals by controlling his chakra. Danzo had already prepared while the Third Hokage was stalling for time.

"Wood Release: Wood Splintering Technique"

Suddenly, a large number of wooden spikes sprang out of the swamp and headed towards Huici.

Hui ignored everything and continued to slash downwards.

Chakra surged from the blade, transforming into a terrifying blade beam that slashed down.

Danzo was surprised that even when faced with an attack, Hikaru insisted on cutting him. His eyes widened, filled with resentment.

A blue light flashed, and Danzo split in two.

It was neatly cut in half from the right shoulder all the way to the root of the right leg.

Even so, Danzo is still alive!

The power of the interstitial cells is evident.

Hui frowned; at the last moment, he had managed to shift Danzo's body to the side.

As for the wooden spikes stuck in his body, Hui ignored them, circulating his chakra to force back the wood-style chakra within the spikes, and then slashed them off with a kunai.

Tsunade arrives at the battlefield.

Tsunade was shocked to see the disheveled Third Hokage, the screaming Enma with a piercing wound in his chest, and Danzo cut in two.

What happened?

I was only a little late, how did it turn out like this?

Of the four people present, Fugaku Uchiha was merely an elite Jonin, and he could immediately tell that Fugaku was only observing from the sidelines and hadn't intervened. His teacher and Danzo were definitely in cahoots; if that was the case, then it was all Hikaru's doing!

Looking at Hui's condition, he was completely unharmed.

No, there was a wound, a penetrating wound, pierced by a wooden splinter from the Wood Splintering Technique. But by the time Tsunade noticed, the wound had already begun to heal...

Looking at the green light emanating from Hikaru's wound, Tsunade fell into deep thought.

Isn't this the technique I envisioned...?

The Third Hokage was, after all, her teacher. Tsunade should have been furious that he had been beaten so badly.

For some reason, feeling the familiar aura emanating from Danzo, and the Wood Release technique that had not yet disbanded, and thinking that her teacher was in cahoots with Danzo, Tsunade felt inexplicably calm.

As for blood, Tsunade didn't react for the moment. She didn't even realize that her hemophobia had been cured.

It's more effective than Naruto's method in the original work, solving the problem at its root.

Tsunade's hemophobia was originally caused by Nawaki and Kato Dan, and after Nawaki was revived, Tsunade's hemophobia naturally disappeared.

As for Kato Dan, the root of his illness doesn't lie with him. His hemophobia was planted by Nawaki. Back then, he saw his body blown to pieces, his internal organs and intestines blown out, and Tsunade couldn't cure him no matter what she did, which is how he initially developed hemophobia.

It was only because of Kato Dan's emotional support that Tsunade's hemophobia hadn't manifested. It wasn't until after Kato Dan's death, without that emotional support, and experiencing the same situation again, that Tsunade completely broke down.

Therefore, the root still lies in the rope tree.

"Grandpa's cells were transplanted indiscriminately, teacher, did you know?"

Tsunade's expression was so calm it was almost frightening.

The third generation seemed to feel guilty, sighed, and did not deny it.

"Ki, you've vented enough, haven't you? Danzo, things have come to this, it's time for everything to end."

The third generation smiled bitterly.

He never expected that this junior, who had only revealed his Kage-level strength a year ago, would actually possess such power. He was completely defeated in both ninjutsu and taijutsu.

He's a master of the Five Elements Escape Techniques? How laughable.

It turns out that even mastering just one of the Five Elements Ninjutsu can reach this level.

A deep sense of frustration rose in the heart of the third generation.

"Danzo must die, and Root must be disbanded!"

"Ki!" The Third Hokage exclaimed, his voice trembling with emotion upon hearing that Ki was going to disband Root. "Do you know how important Root is? Do you know how crucial Root's intelligence network is to Konoha? This is wartime! War!"

"Tch~" Hui scoffed. "You know about war?"

"You know that the war allowed Danzo to attack the village's ninjas, you know that the war continued to protect Danzo even after knowing what he had done, and you dare to talk about the war! Do you even deserve to?!"

Seemingly recalling some unpleasant memories, Hui became somewhat agitated.

"Are you worthy?!"

Even as the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi was rendered speechless by the barrage of questions.

Others might not know, but Fugaku Uchiha did. What Hikaru was saying might not just be about this particular incident; perhaps it also included his own past experiences.

"You do not deserve!"

The three generations were ashamed and did not answer; Hui answered himself.

"War, ha, war, you still have the nerve to talk about wartime."

"At such a crucial juncture in the war, Konoha has produced a guy like Danzo who turned against his own people, and you don't even deal with him? You still have the nerve to talk about war!"

"Enough!" Seemingly unable to bear Hui's sarcastic remarks, the Third Hokage interrupted Hui's questioning and shouted angrily, "I am the Hokage!"

“No, San Dai, you are not worthy. Your selfishness has outweighed your responsibility to the village.”

"Third generation, you're getting old, it's time for you to step down."

Chapter 274 Coup

"Third generation, you're getting old, it's time for you to step down."

These words struck like a bolt from the blue, hitting the hearts of those present hard.

They all stared in disbelief at Hui for uttering those words.

Tsunade now felt like she might have been tricked. What nonsense about her standing up for others and avoiding punishment!

This is a coup, isn't it? First, they beat up the third generation, then they said this. What else could it be but a coup? So what's my role? An accomplice?

"As expected, things aren't that simple. Reviving someone comes at a price that can't be small," Tsunade thought bitterly.

As a top-tier medical ninja, Tsunade naturally had knowledge of resurrection techniques and even envisioned them. After all, she knew that the Impure World Reincarnation could summon the souls of the dead. Since such a technique existed, the resurrection technique that could fuse the soul back into the body was certainly not impossible. This is why Tsunade wasn't overly surprised when Hikaru resurrected Nawaki. At the time, she was merely astonished that Hikaru possessed a resurrection technique, just as she was surprised by his knowledge of the Impure World Reincarnation.

Resurrection seems incredible to others, but it's certainly feasible to Tsunade. For example, "miraculous healing" is essentially a form of resurrection, only this one is very simple: the soul hasn't yet entered the Pure Land, so all that's needed is to heal the body.

With top-tier medical ninjutsu and the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Tsunade could have easily developed a resurrection jutsu, even more smoothly than Sunagakure, since she already had the foundation for Impure World Reincarnation. However, she didn't focus her efforts on it. A resurrection jutsu requires research and involves too many experimental subjects, something Tsunade certainly couldn't bear to do.

However, this doesn't mean Tsunade was unaware of the cost of the resurrection technique. She could clearly sense the transfer of life force, meaning that resurrecting one person required exchanging another's life! Although it's unknown how Hikaru managed to control a "living" ninja to complete this technique, it's conceivable that it was still a significant loss.

Actually, Tsunade misunderstood. Reviving Nawaki was something that was going to be done anyway, and he was just getting some help from Tsunade along the way. He wouldn't make her pay an equal price.

This attack on the third generation and the attempt to force them to abdicate was merely a spur-of-the-moment decision.

The Third Hokage's actions truly enraged Teru. Danzo had gone to such lengths, a clear cancer on the family, yet the Third Hokage was still protecting him. Although he already knew the plot's direction and was aware of similar actions Danzo had taken, experiencing it firsthand was always different.

Hui thought he was mentally prepared to handle it, but after experiencing it firsthand, he really couldn't hold back anymore.

Fugaku Uchiha was even more outrageous, constantly thinking about Hikaru's motives for doing this.

"Could this be all for the rise of the Uchiha clan?"

When he first learned the reason why Hui had taken action, he thought it was simply Hui seeking revenge. But now it seems that things are not as he imagined.

"If this is a coup, then shouldn't my Uchiha clan try to win the Hokage position?"

Fugaku Uchiha was lost in his fantasies, and he even considered speaking out in support of Hikaru right now.

"No, no, the clan can't afford any more trouble. If this coup fails and I step in again, the Uchiha will become a thorn in the Third Hokage's side."

Shaking his head abruptly, Fugaku Uchiha abandoned the idea.

Let's see what Hui does next.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

If the previous three generations were filled with bitter smiles and helplessness, then this time it is filled with anger, extreme anger.

A coup!

I can't believe I'm being forced to abdicate!

Although he had long intended to relinquish the Hokage position, and would announce it soon, being forced to step down and stepping down voluntarily are two completely different things.

If this succeeds, I'll become a laughing stock.

Moreover, it has a far deeper meaning.

Every generation that comes after will remember that they were forced to abdicate, and they will all remember the reasons why they were forced to abdicate. The fact that Danzo attacked the village's ninjas during the war and that I protected them will inevitably come to light eventually. There must have been a trigger for Kaguya's coup attempt, and those triggers will all be recorded.

At that point, any talk of leading the village to several war victories or developing the village to unprecedented heights will be a joke. They'll only think it's due to the village's ninjas' own efforts and strength. After all, how much of a role can a Hokage play in a war if he protects those who attack his own people? Some might even think that the Third Hokage might have had a negative impact on things.

I never dared to think about it before, but once the third generation abdicates, and is forced to abdicate, then all these thoughts will come to mind.

As politicians, three generations are well-versed in these matters.

That's why he was so angry at Hui for forcing him to abdicate.

"Hui! Do you know what you've said?!"

The third generation's tone carried a hint of madness.

At this time, more and more ninjas gradually appeared in the vicinity.

There was no other way. Although the Root base was remote, it was still in Konoha. And the commotion from the battle just now was so great that someone was bound to come and check it out.
