From Hokage to Visionary

In an instant, strange phenomena appeared between heaven and earth.

Two super-dense tailed beast balls collided with each other at a very close distance. The moment they came into contact, they seemed to show signs of fusion, and then continued to multiply at an astonishing speed, eventually forming a huge ball of destructive light that contained extreme light and heat, like the sun.

Around the huge light ball that looks like the 'sun', a golden corona like flames is spread out.

A fiery and brilliant, dazzling light burst out, even dispersing the dark clouds with thunder and lightning that shrouded the sky above Konoha.

The world fell into a brief silence, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

People only felt that the noisy sounds disappeared suddenly, and the empty and void silence made people feel deeply uneasy.

The next moment, a deafening roar echoed between heaven and earth.

Boom——! ! !

The brilliant fire rings from the explosion filled the sky, like a horrific scene at doomsday.

When the huge ball of light that looked like the 'sun' shattered like an eggshell, the terrifying energy that leaked out ignited the remaining matter in the atmosphere.

The raging fire that destroyed everything, swept by the fierce storm and shock wave, was like the endless tide of the sea, surging and expanding the field of destruction, which almost covered most of the village. The thick dark clouds were shattered by the towering fire column, and the whole sky was illuminated red.

The first wave of impact ended, followed by the second, third, and fourth waves

The clash between the tailed beast jades is a scene of devastation!

Even the violent collision of the two energies caused the surrounding void to tremble and emit a wail as if it could not bear the heavy burden. Extremely fine black cracks crisscrossed like a broken mirror.

Even some ninjas who were self-aware and retreated far away in advance were still affected by the "Tailed Beast Ball".

Everyone's body was burning red and they had mild to moderate concussions. Their internal organs also felt extremely uncomfortable under the impact of the air waves.

The extreme high temperature after the explosion evaporated all the rainwater, forming a large cloud of white smoke.

The entire earth was directly "hollowed out", leaving a huge deep pit of nearly 100 meters. The land inside was scorched by extremely high temperatures and has turned into lava and crystals.

Look around again. What appears in the eyes of every Konoha ninja is a pile of ruins.

The houses, ravaged by the storm and the impact, fell down like fields of wheat, and there were collapsed ruins everywhere, and raging fires were burning in the streets and everywhere.

"Roar--!!!"

The deafening roar sent the sound waves straight into the sky.

The water vapor that shrouded the surroundings was blown away, revealing a hideous and terrifying figure that looked like an ancient Titan.

The huge horns and the head that resembled a bull's head were undoubtedly the Eight-tailed Gyu-ki. As the gaze moved downwards, the Konoha ninjas who were watching suddenly showed a look of despair in their eyes. The Nine-tailed, who they had placed high hopes on, was now being trampled under their feet.

"Heh, did you see that? Kyuubi."

The Eight-Tails was extremely happy. This was the first time in a thousand years that it had won against this guy in a fair and square manner. Naturally, it wanted to mock him as much as possible: "This is the difference between Jinchūriki. You are no longer as powerful as before. You are too weak. It is unbelievable!"

Although both sides are Jinchūriki and have transformed into tailed beasts, the gap between them is as huge as the difference between heaven and earth.

On one side, there is a combination of Jinchūriki who are in tune with each other and have perfect understanding of each other; while on the other side, there is a combination of Jinchūriki whose power has been forcibly squeezed out by the seal, and their relationship is rigid and they have no tacit understanding of each other.

The result was naturally that the side with better coordination won, and the Eight-Tails defeated the Nine-Tails with a crushing advantage.

The Tailed Beast Balls clashed at extremely close range, and the final winner was actually the Eight-Tails!

After enduring the direct impact of the Tailed Beast Ball, Uzumaki Kushina, the Jinchūriki, fainted after spitting out blood. The huge body of the Nine-Tails in the outside world, after losing the control of the Jinchūriki, began to slowly become transparent until it completely disappeared.

In the end, only the Jinchuriki Kushina was left, lying in the deep pit.

“It’s over.”

"We are doomed! Even the Nine-Tailed Fox is no match for that guy!"

"Kushina is that loser! She has the strongest tailed beast inside her, but she can't even beat the Eight-Tails?!"

The Konoha ninjas, who witnessed their hopes being shattered, vented their grievances on the Jinchūriki.

They believed that it was because of Kushina, who was too weak, that the Nine-Tails, which was the strongest tailed beast, lost to the Eight-Tails of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Now, no one can stop the Eight-Tails.

The morale of the Konoha ninjas, shrouded in despair, was on the verge of collapse in an instant, and many of them were even crying.

Danzo stood in front of the Hokage Building, his face stiff, his eyes as dark as death, looking at the defeated Nine-Tails, he suddenly felt his limbs cold: "It's over. Everything is over."

The Nine-Tails is Konoha's last trump card. He doesn't even ask to win, he just wants to hold back the Eight-Tails.

However, even such a small wish was ruthlessly crushed.

"Why. Why is it like this?!"

Danzo blamed all the consequences on other people. She felt as if everyone and everything around her was against her!

"I was so close to becoming Hokage, just a little bit away. Everything was going according to my expectations. Why did it suddenly turn out like this? Why is everyone making mistakes? Why?! Am I really not fit to be Hokage?"

Just when he asked himself and began to doubt.

However, the Eight-Tails reached out his hand and picked up the unconscious Kushina. Looking at the ruined village, he sighed and said with emotion: "Oh, even such an important Jinchūriki is incapable of protecting it. It really is not the Konoha it used to be."

If it was fifty years ago, when the first Hokage was still alive, even if it had ten times the courage, it would not dare to come to Konoha and act so recklessly.

In just a few decades, the once glorious Konoha had become so weak that the Eight-Tails felt a little sad. The world of humans has changed too fast after all.

It turns out that guy’s target was the Jinchūriki!

It was not until this moment that the ninjas of Konoha finally understood that this guy was deliberately waiting for the Nine-Tails to appear in order to kidnap the Jinchūriki!

The importance of Jinchūriki is self-evident. Once Konoha loses the weapon of the tailed beast, it will face a situation that is countless times more terrifying and difficult than it is now!

"Oh, yes. I almost forgot."

The Eight-Tails seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned back to look at the Konoha ninjas with bloodshot eyes, and forced a 'humane' bad smile on his face: "Before you leave, I will give you another gift!"

As it spoke, it opened its bloody mouth and condensed extremely high density chakra.

"It's the Tailed Beast Ball!"

The scene that had just been experienced instantly awakened the fear in the hearts of the Konoha ninjas.

boom! ! !

A huge tailed beast ball with a diameter of tens of meters, wrapped in a strong aura of destruction, cut through the darkness, and its target was the very center of Konoha.

The terrifying wind pressure was as if it were real. Even the areas it flew over were crushed and broken inch by inch by the super-high density weight. This time, the Tailed Beast Ball was enough to completely wipe out the remaining half of Konoha from the map. No one would survive the explosion range!

"Is it really going to be destroyed?"

Lin Jiao, who was guarding the Hokage, had a look of deep despair in his eyes.

In the Uchiha base, Mikoto hugged her child tightly, with a last glimmer of hope in her desperate eyes: "Sogetsu, where are you? Konoha needs you, Itachi and I need you, please, please save us!"

At this moment of despair, a figure suddenly appeared and stood right in front of the Tailed Beast Ball.

"Sorry, guys, we're late."

The man's voice floated clearly along the wind and into everyone's ears: "Don't worry, leave the rest to me!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 176 The next move will be very cool!

A figure suddenly appeared above Konoha, shrouded in light like a savior.

Mikoto held Itachi in her arms, staring at the figure in astonishment. The extremely familiar feeling made her call out the name subconsciously almost in an instant.

"Is it Uchiha Munetsuki?"

The man seemed to sense something and looked back.

Although far away, Mikoto could still feel that familiar sense of security, which eased her nervous mood.

"It looks like the timing of coming back is just right."

Uchiha Sogetsu's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he clenched his fists, and his pupil power surged out like a tsunami: "Next, it's time to perform."

The next moment, a huge amount of chakra burst out of the body, almost turning into substance.

“Susanoo——!”

The chakra that surged out like a tsunami gradually stabilized after expanding to the extreme.

From the most basic skeletal form, it grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was covered with substances like flesh, blood, and tendons. In less than a second, it turned into a huge humanoid creature standing upright and wearing heavy armor. The entire process was seen by everyone in Konoha.

Since the death of Uchiha Madara, no one has ever seen the form of Susanoo.

That extremely majestic figure, as if the incarnation of the God of Destruction, the extremely powerful humanoid posture, and the chakra materialization that was no less than that of the tailed beasts, undoubtedly shocked the people of Konoha deeply.

However, this does not include Danzo. She had witnessed the legendary Uchiha Madara with her own eyes, and she also knew that the Uchiha clan had the Mangekyō Sharingan in addition to the so-called three magatama: "Susanoo Uchiha Sogetsu, this guy, is indeed..."

At this moment, she finally panicked.

Susanoo is equivalent to the God of Destruction. It can completely change the terrain with just one strike and possesses power that is no less than that of the tailed beasts.

And this is exactly why he has always been wary of the Uchiha. It was because of Uchiha Madara that she witnessed this terrifying power, but now that memory has been awakened!

A sixteen-year-old boy actually awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan!

Thinking of the hatred between him and himself, Danzo suddenly felt uneasy. The joy that had just surged in his heart was quickly filled with fear.

"Uchiha Munetsuki"

Danzo stared at the golden giant with a malicious look.

Uchiha Munetsuki controlled Susanoo very well, keeping its form at the fourth stage.

It's not that he can't use the complete form of Susanoo, but there's no need to do so when facing a mere tailed beast.

The golden Susanoo stood like a mountain in the center of the battlefield, and the samurai sword worn at its waist was slowly pulled out.

"cut!"

As Uchiha Sogetsu finished his words, the huge Susanoo drew its sword and stabbed it upwards.

Suddenly, a sword sound was heard cutting through the sky, and even the thunder that could be heard for a hundred miles was completely covered up for a moment.

Boom! ! !

The blade hit it hard, and with the help of his clever strength, he directly knocked the Tailed Beast Ball away.

The huge shock almost tore the sky apart, and with the blade of Susanoo as the collision point, a huge sound wave visible to the naked eye erupted, and the subsequent air wave impact spread in a regular circular shape.

Boom~~~

The next moment, the sky exploded!

The ripples were as raging as waves, and the terrifying air waves were like a hurricane, blowing across the huge Konoha Village.

The sky was filled with dark clouds that were stirred like a whirlpool, and the raging thunder and lightning intertwined, creating a scene that looked like the collapse of the sky, which was deeply reflected in everyone's eyes.

Susanoo stood in the ruins, and the sky seemed to be silent for a moment.

Whether it was the noisy air waves or the rolling thunder, all of them dimmed in front of him, and the remaining light between heaven and earth seemed to gather around him.

After waiting for the air wave to subside, everyone looked again and saw that the air wave caused by the sword had pulled long gullies in the earth, with countless ruins standing on both sides. A huge golden giant stood between heaven and earth, and in the raging wind, he raised his sword and pointed it at the tailed beast opposite.

"That person seems to be Uchiha Munetsuki!"

"Yes, I am not mistaken, it is Uchiha Munetsuki!"

"It's really him!"

"Oh my god, it's Uchiha Munetsuki, he's here to save us!"

At this moment, Uchiha Sogetsu, who blocked the Tailed Beast Ball alone, has become a true hero in everyone's eyes!

Turn the tide before it falls, and support the building before it collapses.

At the most critical moment of Konoha, the only one who saved everyone was Uchiha Munezuki!

Everyone was in an uproar. Many of them knew the name of Uchiha Sogetsu and even knew about his deeds. He single-handedly killed the Mizukage and the Raikage, and even went deep into the enemy village alone to rescue the captured Namikaze Minato. And he was only sixteen years old!

At this moment, seeing Uchiha Sogetsu displaying his ninjutsu to fight the tailed beast head-on, I was shocked but also felt that it was natural.

If we look at the entire Konoha, if there is anyone who can resist the tailed beasts and save Konoha from crisis, it is probably only him!

"Susanoo!" The Eight-Tails narrowed his eyes and looked at Uchiha Munetsuki: "Come to think of it, I haven't seen one for many years. It seems that you are the first one since Uchiha Madara."

"First things first."

Uchiha Sogetsu half-closed his eyes and said calmly: "Return Konoha's Jinchuriki."

"Back to you?"
