Uchiha Izumi was happy at the moment. What could be more interesting than lifting the veil of a hypocrite and watching him die like a clown?

Sarutobi Hiruzen was in agony. The reputation he had maintained his whole life, everything he had as a Hokage, was easily destroyed by Uchiha Izumi. From now on, his glory would no longer be recorded in the history books of Konoha. His reputation, his family, and his only grandson would all be hated by everyone.

Beside the two of them, Danzo and Orochimaru were also waiting.

Orochimaru watched everything that happened in front of him with great interest. He felt that everything that happened in front of him was very interesting, especially the old and ferocious face of Sarutobi Hiruzen opposite him. The pain seemed to be carved into his face, which was so ugly and interesting.

For the first time in his life, Orochimaru felt that living longer was not a good thing.

Maybe for a person, the longer you get it, the better.

But for a person in power, dying at the right time is the wisest wisdom.

Obviously, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not have such wisdom. Or maybe he knew this truth, but he could not restrain his desire for power. Even though he used various means to conceal this desire and constantly used Danzo to shift the blame, he still held on to the power of Hokage tightly. Behind his stubbornness of not letting go even if he would rather die was that terrible and dark desire.

And next to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo's mood was the most complicated of everyone.

As the root of darkness in Konoha, he had long thought that one day, the darkness in Konoha would be revealed to the public.

He thought that one day, he might be pointed at and cursed by thousands of people; or he might be old and weak and be pelted with stones by a group of Konoha children and suffer humiliation; or it might be that a young hero in Konoha Village would lead a group of energetic Genin to surround and kill him, and announce the rebirth of Konoha over his dead body.

But Danzo never expected that when this day finally came, what he would experience would be completely different from what he had imagined.

There is no spitting, no humiliation, and no death or killing.

Faced with the darkness of Konoha, the villagers of Konoha completely ignored what they gave to him, the root of darkness.

No one cares that it was Danzo who actually ordered the massacre of the Uchiha clan; no one cares that it was their root who had been hunting down the Senju clan for a long time; and no one cares that it was the dark roots of Konoha who massacred civilians in the Rain Country.

Obviously, he was the one who did most of the shameful things that Konoha did. But after the truth was exposed, no one blamed him. Because everyone subconsciously regarded him as a knife and a dog of the Third Hokage. All his deeds, all his efforts, all his responsibilities and endurances, all the humiliations he endured for Konoha, were actually not worth mentioning in the eyes of the world.

Ignoring is the greatest humiliation!

Looking at the back of Sarutobi Hiruzen beside him, Danzo gritted his teeth and had already made a decision in his heart.

The four people's waiting and silence did not last long, and the Konoha ninjas under the high platform had already rushed over. They shouted slogans such as saving the Hokage and then judging the Hokage, and began to attack the coffin summoned by Uchiha Izumi.

The civilians in the coffins were awakened, and the consciousness sealed by Uchiha Izumi was restored. The civilians woke up one by one. Seeing that they were surrounded by the Konoha ninjas who had killed them, they were all terrified and knelt down to beg for mercy. Only a few hot-blooded men rushed towards the Konoha ninjas with anger and gritted their teeth.

Then...boom!

These civilians do not have any chakra, no matter how hard they try, they will not be a match for the Konoha ninja. However, before setting off, Uchiha Izumi has set up a technique of multiplying detonating tags on these civilians. Once these resurrected civilians come into contact with the Konoha ninja, the technique on their bodies will be activated, summoning the detonating tags from a distance to themselves, and then explode.

Konan gave Uchiha Izumi 10 million Detonating Tags, and each Impure World Reincarnation explosion would only consume ten Detonating Tags. On average, each Impure World Reincarnation could cause at least a hundred explosions. The power of ten Detonating Tags was enough to kill an ordinary Konoha Chunin in seconds!

As a result, under such sudden and unexpected series of explosions, more than a dozen Konoha ninjas were blown into ashes!

"Oh no! These civilians have detonating tags on them!"

The explosion woke up the ninjas of Konoha, and they completely eliminated their contempt for these civilians. As the most prestigious ninja present, Jiraiya immediately ordered:

"Where are the Sealing Squad? The dead who have been resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation have almost immortal bodies. Ordinary ninjutsu has no effect on them. It will only detonate the detonating tags on their bodies. We must quickly get the Sealing Squad to seal these dead."

Just as Jiraiya's order was issued, a ninja from the Sealing Squad said:

"No, Master Jiraiya. We can't seal it. There are too many of them!"

Knowing that they were already immortal and that their bodies would cause violent explosions, the civilians who were killed by Konoha were immediately filled with anger. Facing the Konoha ninjas around them, they rushed forward with weak fists. They wanted to use their lives to avenge their relatives, friends, and themselves!

Faced with such a group of undead civilians with many ninjutsu and the ability to self-destruct, the Konoha ninjas who gathered around could only retreat again. Although the civilians' weak bodies could not catch up with the ninjas, the feeling of being chased by civilians still made the Konoha ninjas feel miserable.

"Damn it!" said a fleeing Konoha ninja.

"They are impossible to kill and there are so many of them. I have never encountered such disgusting opponents!"

"Damn Sarutobi Hiruzen, all of this is the sin he committed against Konoha!"

……

The ninjas of Konoha kept retreating, but soon they could not retreat anymore. If they retreated any further, they would reach the refuge of the villagers of Konoha. If these dead people who hated Konoha to the core really saw the civilians of Konoha, the consequences would be disastrous.

As a result, the Konoha ninjas who had been retreating could only grit their teeth and fight these self-destructing zombies, and then they kept dying in battle. Some of the Impure World civilians also noticed the existence behind these ninjas, and they cheered:

"Look! Those are the villagers of Konoha! It turns out that these beasts in Konoha also have families and children!"

"Hahaha, hurry up, let's kill all these civilians! I want the Konoha ninjas to feel the same pain as I did!"

"Go to hell, you scum of Konoha!"

……

At this moment, the sounds of explosions and wailing resounded throughout Konoha!

Civilians of Konoha continued to die tragically in the explosions. Even though the ninjas of Konoha fought desperately, their fight seemed so futile in the face of the immortal civilians who were resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation.

"Uchiha Izumi!"

Seeing Konoha become like this, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally couldn't bear it anymore!

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already made up his mind that no matter what happened today, he must kill Uchiha Izumi. But just as he was about to do it, a large group of civilians rushed towards him with anger.

Although the strength of these civilians is not worth mentioning, they have almost immortal bodies and can self-detonate. Under the guidance of Uchiha Izumi, they surround many of her Orochimaru, which makes it impossible for Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo to attack in a short period of time. Even if they use earth escape, they will be besieged by a group of dirty world civilians after they rush out from underground.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only use the Shadow Clone Technique continuously, and then let these shadow clones use the Shiki Fuujin to seal the souls of these civilians. However, in this way, Sarutobi Hiruzen's chakra was quickly consumed by more than half. And the number of civilians sealed by him was less than one tenth.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only breathe heavily while listening to the death of Konoha villagers one by one at the hands of the Impure World Civilians. The pain that Konoha had brought to other villagers finally came back to haunt the civilians in his own village.

Chapter 68: The Fire of the Past

The ninjas of Konoha were all trying their best to protect the civilians in the village, and only a few had their own plans.

For example, Uchiha Sasuke.

Opposite him were the civilians of the Uchiha clan. They did not participate in the massacre of the villagers of Konoha, but only found Uchiha Sasuke. One of the uncles said:

"I never thought that in the blink of an eye, little Sasuke has grown up so much."

"It's been a long time since we last met, Uncle Fukuoka." Sasuke greeted the uncle as usual, and then asked:

"Uncle, are you here to kill me?"

"Hey, Sasuke, what are you talking about? Why would we kill you for no reason?" Uncle Fukuoka laughed heartily.

"Uncle Fukuoka..." Sasuke muttered.

At this time, Aunt Mitian beside her also said:

"You are just a child. What do these things have to do with you? We are here to see you and we are worried about you. After all, Konoha is not a good place. We are worried that you will be deceived or bullied in Konoha. After all, we watched you grow up. How could we, the elders, do anything to you?"

"Aunt Mita..." At this moment, tears were already reflected in Sasuke's eyes.

"Sasuke, listen to my advice and leave Konoha as soon as possible. This is not the home of our Uchiha clan after all. Nothing good will come of you staying here. Leave Konoha and go find your sister Izumi. Then don't be a ninja anymore, and don't think about helping us get revenge. Just live a peaceful life as an ordinary person, okay?"

"Tomomi-sister..."

"Hahaha, Sasuke is crying! Sasuke is taller than me now, but he is still crying. Haha, he is still a child after all!"

"Ono-nii-san..."

“You, all of you…”

At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke finally broke down and said:

"Don't be so gentle to me, everyone!"

"Everyone is obviously dead. They were obviously killed by my brother! Why, why don't you hate me?!"

"Why!"

Facing Uchiha Sasuke's questioning, Uchiha Jiangye smiled and said:

"We are Uchiha after all. Compared to hatred, the happiness of our family is more important! If you were no longer a part of the Uchiha clan, we would be the craziest people here! But you are right about one thing. We do want to kill someone now. But that person is not you, but your brother, Uchiha Itachi."

Sasuke was startled when he heard this. At this time, Uchiha Tomomi, who was called "Sister Tomomi" by Sasuke, said:

"Please forgive us for wanting to kill your brother, Sasuke. We are doing this for your own good. After all, we know what kind of person your brother is better than you do. Especially when he was trying to kill us, the coldness in his eyes made us think he was just a crazy beast. We cannot allow such a dangerous person to survive, especially after you leave Konoha. With your brother's crazy personality, he will definitely attack you. We are doing this to protect you, even though this method is rather cruel."

"Tell me, Sasuke, where is Uchiha Itachi?"

As Uchiha Tomomi questioned, all the Uchiha clan members looked at Uchiha Sasuke. Under heavy pressure, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but look at the platform and thought:

"If I'm guessing correctly, my brother should be by the side of Hokage-sama right now!"

……

If there was any Konoha ninja who would obey Sarutobi Hiruzen's orders at this time, it would be only one person, Uchiha Itachi.

This is not only because Uchiha Itachi's thinking circuit is different from that of ordinary people, but also because he has no choice.

When Uchiha Itachi killed his own clan members, he was already a lone man in Konoha Village. Especially when the truth of the Uchiha clan genocide was exposed, Uchiha Itachi would no longer be recognized by any Konoha ninja. Even his brother Uchiha Sasuke hated him to the core.

A lonely person can only cuddle with a lonely person for warmth, not to mention that Uchiha Itachi's thinking is different from that of ordinary people. When the villagers of Konoha were extremely disgusted with Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Itachi thought that such a hypocritical and cruel Sarutobi Hiruzen was amazing. He claimed to have the thinking of a Hokage and thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen's style was the real Hokage.

So when everyone in Konoha was protecting the villagers, Uchiha Itachi sneaked into the high platform. What he wanted was to use the Kotoamatsukami technique to control Uchiha Izumi and let her unlock the Impure World Reincarnation technique. As long as this was done, the dilemma Konoha was facing would be instantly resolved. Then he combined his own strength with Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo to kill Uchiha Izumi and Orochimaru, and he, Uchiha Itachi, once again protected Konoha.

So when Sarutobi Hiruzen was unable to deal with a group of Impure World civilians, Uchiha Itachi took action. He jumped up from the high platform, accompanied by a crow with Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan, and launched Kotoamatsukami jutsu at Uchiha Izumi's brain.

Uchiha Izumi's body trembled, and then...

what happened?

Kotoamatsukami had already activated, but apart from Uchiha Izumi's initial physical reaction, there was no abnormality at all. He did not release the Impure World Reincarnation as Uchiha Itachi had imagined, and he did not even make any other movements.

The other gods don't work?

"Are you surprised? Uchiha Itachi?"

Without looking back, Uchiha Izumi already knew that Uchiha Itachi was there.

"Kotoamatsukami is a terrifying illusion, but it is not invincible!"

Uchiha Izumi now has two bodies, the original and the clone, and two souls in the two bodies. Although Kotoamatsukami can change the original's thinking mode, it cannot change the clone's thinking mode. So when Kotoamatsukami was activated, although Uchiha Izumi's original body subconsciously wanted to release the Impure World Reincarnation, the clone connected to the original body's mind instantly issued a warning, allowing Uchiha Izumi's original body to release this illusion in an instant.

Of course, Uchiha Izumi would not tell Uchiha Itachi about all this. She just turned around, looked at Uchiha Itachi and said:

"Do you know why I've been waiting? I'm waiting for you! Because I know that under Sarutobi Hiruzen's evil deeds, there are actually few ninjas in Konoha Village who take him seriously as the Hokage. Only a beast like you who slaughtered your own people would still regard him as the Hokage."

"What do you want to do?" Uchiha Itachi asked.

"What you want to do is simple. You just want to return what you once did to Konoha!"

After that, Uchiha Izumi once again formed seals with his hands and resurrected another dead person. The identity of this dead person was known to everyone present.

Fukuhara Hiroyo, or should he be called Senju Ukiyo!

"Do you know how Mr. Fukuhara died?" Uchiha Izumi asked:

"He sacrificed his life to save the civilians of the Fire Country's capital by performing the Four Elements Technique and sealing the fire that spread throughout the capital. And along with his death, the sealed fires were also transported to the Pure Land along with his soul. Now, Mr. Fukuhara's soul has been summoned back by me through the Impure World Reincarnation, which means that the fires that were once sealed by him have returned to reality from the Pure Land."

"What did you say?"

After hearing Uchiha Izumi's story, both Uchiha Itachi and Sarutobi Hiruzen were horrified.

"Now, let's imagine something. If the flames that once spread across the entire capital of the Land of Fire, mixed with the black flames of Amaterasu, were reignited in Konoha, what would happen? It must be interesting to watch the flames you ignited destroy your most precious things, Uchiha Itachi!"

Chapter 69 I am the Hokage

Uchiha Izumi did not let go of Fukuhara Hiroyo's mind, she just controlled her former teacher to run towards the center of Konoha Village. Fukuhara Hiroyo was a former Kage-level strongman, even though he was old after the Impure World Reincarnation, his speed was still not slow, which was rare among the jonin. So in just a blink of an eye, he had already rushed out a long way.

Seeing this, Uchiha Itachi ignored his nearly blinded Mangekyō and immediately used Susanoo. The huge Susanoo wielded the Ten-fisted Sword and rushed towards Fukuhara Hiroyo, wanting to seal the flames sealed in Fukuhara Hiroyo's body, along with his soul, in the illusion of the Ten-fisted Sword.

It's just that Uchiha Itachi just made a move, and Uchiha Izumi followed closely and opened Susanoo. Compared with Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Izumi's eyesight is much better. Itachi Uchiha's Tenfist Sword just thrust out, and Uchiha Izumi's Susanoo swung the long sword to push it away.

Uchiha Itachi wanted to fight back, but his eyesight was already close to collapse. He couldn't see Fukuhara Hiroyo in the distance, or even Uchiha Izumi's Susanoo. So he could only rely on the sound to identify the surrounding situation and control Susanoo to swing the Tenken Sword.

Such an approach naturally did not hurt Uchiha Izumi at all. Instead, many Impure World Civilians and Konoha Ninjas were hit by Uchiha Itachi's Ten-fisted Sword, which caused many Impure World Civilians to self-destruct on the spot, causing more Konoha Ninjas to die in the battle. As a result, Uchiha Itachi's image in the hearts of Konoha Ninjas became even more negative.

At the same time, Fukuhara Hiroyo also arrived at the center of Konoha Village under the control of Uchiha Izumi. Then, under the control of Uchiha Izumi, Fukuhara Hiroyo untied the seal on his body, and suddenly the high-temperature flames and the inextinguishable Amaterasu black flames gushed out of Fukuhara Hiroyo's body. The black and red flames rolled around Konoha like a tide.

The Konoha ninjas and civilians affected along the way were burned to charcoal almost instantly. Some Konoha villagers hid in the pond, but Amaterasu's black flames would burn even if they came into contact with pond water. The villagers who hid in the water were cooked alive by the black flames. There were even more Konoha villagers hiding in underground shelters. However, the burning flames quickly consumed the oxygen in Konoha Village, and these villagers hiding underground were suffocated to death because of excessive oxygen consumption!

The flames were still spreading, still burning, and still expanding. Then they affected the civilians who were reborn from the Impure World Reincarnation. The spells on the civilians were touched by the flames, and then a series of explosions began. The flames and detonating tags continued to ravage the Konoha Village, turning the Konoha Village into a living hell.

The villagers wanted to escape, and most of the ninjas wanted to escape, but the walls surrounding Konoha Village blocked most of the villagers' escape routes. They had no way to climb the walls with chakra, and could only watch in despair as the flames and explosions continued to come from behind them, and then lost their lives in the high temperature and shock waves of the explosions.

The power of the blaze was beyond everyone's imagination. Even Uchiha Izumi didn't expect the blaze sealed by Fukuhara Hiroyo to be so terrible. After all, it once spread to half of the city, causing the death of more than 100,000 people in the capital of the Land of Fire! Moreover, Amaterasu's black flames could not be extinguished by water escape at all, which made the blaze unstoppable in a short period of time and covered more than 80% of Konoha's area.

Faced with such a fierce flame, everyone was fleeing. Jiraiya fled with Naruto, the jonin teachers fled with their students, and the ninjas who mastered the Shadow Clone Technique tried their best to create Shadow Clone, hoping to save more people and escape. Even Uchiha Izumi, who caused all this, was fleeing.

Originally, Uchiha Izumi just wanted to give Uchiha Itachi a taste of the pain she had brought to the civilians of the capital. Then, while Uchiha Itachi was struggling and in pain, she would join forces with Orochimaru to kill him. Finally, she would kill Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo, so that this Konoha destruction operation would be complete for her.
