The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

That gene etched into their very bones erupts in the instant it is fully unleashed.

Sasuke couldn't contain his excitement and burst into laughter.

Unlike the power he absorbed from Orochimaru, Sasuke needed a considerable amount of time to adapt to and master the Mangekyou Sharingan, a power derived from his bloodline. Almost from the moment it was activated, Sasuke was able to use it freely, including his own unique eye techniques.

This is his own genuine strength.

Just like how Uchiha clan ninjas who awaken the Sharingan instantly rise to a level comparable to elite Chunin.

Having obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke's current strength is undoubtedly at the level of a powerful Kage.

This is the innate talent of the Uchiha clan.

It is the ultimate bloodline power belonging to their clan.

With this power, he could finally go to that man openly and honestly, question him, and find out the truth of what happened back then.

But before that.

There are still some things that need to be done.

"Immediately summon everyone in the base. I have something to say."

Sasuke looked at Kabuto Yakushi with a calm expression and said.

"Huh? Ah? Yes, Lord Sasuke."

Kabuto hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Sasuke's icy eyes, he shivered and nodded hurriedly in response.

He was terrified that if he hesitated any longer, he would be killed by Sasuke.

Chapter 469 Target

It was still that same dimly lit room.

A familiar, eerie atmosphere.

The dozens of ninjas gathered here at this moment are almost all mid-level members of this base, or even Orochimaru's forces. Only a few powerful confidants like Guren are dispatched to secret bases scattered throughout the ninja world to handle important matters or to oversee a large number of experimental subjects.

The rest of the inner circle and subordinates are all concentrated here.

At this moment, everyone looked at Yakushi Kabuto, who was standing next to the main seat, with puzzled expressions.

"Hey, Kabuto, everyone's here, but where's Lord Orochimaru!?"

"More than half an hour has passed since we gathered. Are you going to spread Orochimaru's orders?"

"Huh!? Kabuto!?"

Some of the less experienced ninjas didn't speak up easily, but the four or five highly experienced ninjas standing at the very front stared intently at Kabuto Yakushi, as if they would immediately attack if Kabuto said anything wrong.

As Orochimaru's subordinate, this is perfectly normal.

The law of the jungle prevails.

This is perfectly exemplified by Orochimaru.

Apart from Orochimaru, who is the absolute master, no one else is absolutely obedient to anyone else.

This includes Kabuto Yakushi, who is clearly Orochimaru's most trusted subordinate.

In the eyes of this group, Orochimaru is everything.

Everyone else!?

That's a joke.

"this....."

As he faced the gazes of so many Jonin and Chunin, Kabuto Yakushi felt a bit of pressure and was about to say something.

"Orochimaru is dead. I killed him, and I also had Kabuto summon you all here."

In the shadows on the left.

Sasuke stepped out from there, his indifferent gaze sweeping over the group of people below.

The words, devoid of any emotion, fell to the ground.

Just like a drop of water falling into a pot of oil, it explodes instantly.

"What did you say, kid!?"

"Uchiha Sasuke, are you kidding me?! You killed Lord Orochimaru?! That's hilarious!"

"You little bastard, if you want to die, just say so. I'll risk being punished by Lord Orochimaru today to kill you right here!"

"You ignorant fool! Without Lord Orochimaru, you would have been nothing but a skeleton somewhere long ago."

"Looks like you really want to die, Uchiha Sasuke!!"

Orochimaru's subordinates below instantly flew into a rage, exuding a chilling killing intent.

Each of them looks like they could make a move at any time.

"My patience is limited. I will only ask one question: are you willing to submit to me? If you are, things will remain the same as before. If you are not, you insects will all die here!"

The crimson color that appeared in Sasuke's eyes followed.

The overwhelming killing intent emanating from him was completely undisguised, and it firmly locked onto everyone below.

"What!?"

"Submit to you? Kid, you're too arrogant!"

This is yet another statement that has stirred up a great deal of controversy.

Moreover, this time, it's clear that none of the most loyal members of Orochimaru's subordinates could tolerate it.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The chakra that followed burst forth.

The three people standing at the very front were the first to step out, especially the one in the middle, whose cursed seals spread all over his body and instantly entered his second form, surging with chakra energy.

They are already on par with the elite Jonin of any of the five great ninja villages.

But faced with such an attack.

Sasuke didn't even blink, a cold smile playing on his lips, radiating the same powerful aura.

next second.

"Clang!"

The blade flashed.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

A sudden burst of thunder and light.

"Whoosh!"

"Swish"

The step forward, the blade that flips and appears.

Figures intertwined in mid-air.

"Peng!"

"Clang!"

"Pfft!"

In the blink of an eye, one step forward and one step back.

In less than three seconds.

"Shh!"

The moment Sasuke reinserted his Kusanagi sword into his waistband.

The three attackers were already torn in two, their bodies falling and blood splattering everywhere.

This directly intimidated the group of ninjas behind them who had just drawn their weapons.

Pure overwhelming strength.

The outcome was decided almost in an instant.

Ninja battles can sometimes be quite direct.

An unqualified person.

That means they don't even have the ability to engage in combat.

Kabuto, who was sitting on one side, felt his heart skip a beat at that moment. He knew that the person who had led the attack was a subordinate who had followed Orochimaru for many years. In terms of seniority, he was a cut above Kabuto. Although he might be a little weaker in terms of individual strength, Sasuke could kill him instantly. Kabuto himself would probably only be a matter of one strike against Sasuke.

'Can awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan really cause such a sudden surge in power? The Uchiha clan, what an enviable talent...'

Beneath his seemingly unassuming exterior, Kabuto was filled with emotion. At this moment, he truly understood why his Lord Orochimaru was so obsessed with obtaining the Uchiha clan's bloodline—the power of that ability was simply too formidable and monstrous.

How could a normal person possibly compete with that?!

"Does anyone else have objections?"

Sasuke indifferently swept his gaze across the crowd below. This time, unlike the previous uproar, there were indeed a few people who, upon meeting Sasuke's eyes, involuntarily lowered their gazes. Loyalty has its limits, and more importantly, the object of one's loyalty is a different concept depending on whether it is alive or dead.

Previously, no one thought Sasuke had the ability to kill Orochimaru.

Then loyalty will not be compromised in any way.

Even knowing they might die at Sasuke's hands, probably none of these people would hesitate.

But seeing Sasuke's strength...

In addition, there was Yakushi Kabuto's extremely obvious attitude.

This made everyone realize a very serious problem: what if Orochimaru really died?

Are they going to continue launching pointless death attacks?
