To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

Uchiha Zhaoping could not avoid the Iai Slash of Hanzo of the Salamander, and he would inevitably be injured, but he would only be injured, and the vital parts would be avoided.

How can this be possible? It's time to add fuel to the fire!

Uchiha Shigeka's eyes instantly turned into triangular-patterned Mangekyō Sharingan, and he used the Heaven's Standing Technique once again.

hum-

Everything stopped instantly.

The roar of giant beasts colliding, the sound of fighting between Konoha and Amegakure, the sound of iron weapons hitting, the sound of detonating tags exploding, etc. all faded away in an instant.

Uchiha Shigeka moved and came in front of the motionless Uchiha Zhaoping and Salamander Hanzo. He stretched out his right hand and grasped the handle of the non-poisonous sickle.

Calculating the force and the offset of inertia...Uchiha Shigeka moved the blade of the sickle to the right side of Uchiha Zhaoping's heart.

After doing all this, Uchiha Shigeka returned to his original position, adjusted his emotions, and restored his expression before he stopped moving.

In this space where no one moves and everything is still.

Uchiha Shigeka took one last look at Uchiha Zhaoping and sneered in his heart.

[Goodbye, Uchiha Zhaoping. Don't remember the wrong person. Go down and tell others that the person who killed you was Salamander Hanzo! ]

Time began to flow, and the noisy sound instantly reached Uchiha Shigeka's ears.

Among them, a pleasant scream made him particularly happy.

"what......"

Uchiha Zhaoping suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and the severe pain made him scream subconsciously.

Uchiha Akihei and Salamander Hanzo were both stunned.

Salamander Hanzo was stunned.

——Didn’t he dodge it? The knife should have pierced his right waist...how could it be his heart?

Uchiha Zhaoping was stunned.

——Why isn’t it the right waist…how could it be the heart!?

......

Chapter 159: Why didn’t Izanagi activate?!

"Father!!"

"Clan leader!?"

Uchiha Shigeka and Uchiha Fugaku screamed together, looking in horror as the sharp sickle pierced Uchiha Zhaoping's heart.

Uchiha Shigeka looked at Uchiha Fugaku and saw him staring at Uchiha Zhaoping in daze and shock, his pupils trembling.

——My father was stabbed in the heart by Hanzo the Salamander...Is my father going to die?!

A huge wave of sadness, pain and anger came over him. Uchiha Fugaku's face was distorted. He covered his aching heart and tears flowed unconsciously.

Uchiha Shigeka's eyes narrowed as he observed the other party carefully.

In Uchiha Fugaku's own Sharingan, the magatama was changing and converging towards the center.

But it seemed that it lacked momentum, and under the gaze of Uchiha Shigeka, the magatama dispersed and returned to its original position.

Uchiha Fugaku was indeed in extreme grief just now. He felt his left eye getting hot and burning. The pain merged with his mentality, making it impossible for him to tell the difference.

But the right eye was not Uchiha Fugaku's original eye, it had no changes, no heat, no burning. It was as cold as ice water in a well.

This foreign object was very abrupt and conspicuous. Uchiha Fugaku could not ignore this Sharingan that did not belong to him.

Then, he grasped a trace of rationality from his grief and anger, and this trace of rationality made him notice one thing.

——Father has made the Izanagi seal!

In an instant, all the grief and anger faded away.

After being stabbed in the heart by a sickle coated with poison, Uchiha Fugaku was sure that his father was dead, but his father could still be alive.

Izanagi, an illusion that can change reality, even death!

[It’s just a pity that other people’s eyes are not as suitable as your own. 】

Uchiha Fugaku raised his right hand and stroked the Sharingan that belonged to Uchiha Shuren.

Izanagi is powerful, but the conditions for activating it are also harsh.

A strange idea suddenly occurred to Uchiha Fugaku.

——His father became a one-eyed dragon just like him.

He shook his head, trying to dispel the disrespectful thoughts.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Uchiha Shigeka, and seeing his worry, he said, "Shigeka, it's okay, father will come back again."

He said something that seemed nonsensical to others, but Uchiha Shigeka understood it immediately.

Uchiha Zhaoping's confidants also understood.

But after all, only a few people know about Izanagi, and the vast majority of Uchiha clan members do not know about it.

After a brief moment of shock and confusion, they were filled with tremendous rage.

"Damned Salamander Hanzo, you actually killed the clan leader. I will kill you to avenge the clan leader!"

The Uchiha clan members roared and rushed towards Hanzo of the Salamander.

Salamander Hanzo came to his senses and now was not the time to worry about whether he should stab Uchiha Zhaoping's heart.

呲——

Salamander Hanzo pulled out the sickle, and the blood from Uchiha Zhaoping's heart suddenly gushed out, splashing all over him.

Hanzo Salamander ignored the blood on his body. He turned around with the sickle in his hand and fought back, quickly resisting the attack of the Uchiha people.

"Well......"

Uchiha Zhaoping's body trembled and he fell backwards weakly.

Snapped.

Uchiha Fugaku supported his father, and Uchiha Shigeka stood beside him, looking at Uchiha Zhaoping with a worried look on his face.

Uchiha Zhaoping's body became weaker and weaker, and blood flowed out of his heart, unable to be stopped.

Waves of pain came over Uchiha Zhaoping, making his face distorted and pale.

"Fugaku, Shigeka, Sori, Tomokazu..." Uchiha Zhaoping panted and quickly ordered everyone, "Cover me and don't let others know...what happened here."

"Yes, patriarch."

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!

Uchiha Tomokazu used the earth escape ninjutsu, and the earth wall broke through the ground to cover them, preventing people outside from seeing what was happening inside.

It was dark inside the earth wall, but everyone was an Uchiha, and their pair of three-magatama Sharingan ignored the darkness, allowing them to see everything clearly.

Uchiha Zhaoping smiled with satisfaction.

He even made a joke with a miserable look on his face: "Now, I can die without any worries."

"This is not...real death, otherwise I would really like to see what the netherworld looks like..."

"It's a pity that one of my eyes is going to lose its sight."

——So, what happened just now?

Uchiha Zhaoping was still confused about what happened before.

He had clearly calculated and avoided the vital points. Salamander Hanzo's attack would have landed on his waist, so how come it suddenly hit his heart?

What a waste of an eye...

If he can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it, and there is no time for him to continue thinking about it.

Uchiha Zhaoping calmly closed his eyes.

He had no regrets, nor did he die with regrets. Uchiha Zhaoping accepted death calmly - because he would come back.

He has the resurrection coin, so why would he be afraid of death? What a joke.

Everyone present knew this and were silently waiting for Uchiha Zhaoping's resurrection.

As time passed little by little, Uchiha Zhaoping was still lying in Uchiha Fugaku's arms with a peaceful look on his face.

Everyone was getting a little nervous, their calm faces cracked and they began to sweat profusely.

"...The Izanagi ritual doesn't take that long to activate, right?"

Uchiha Zhihe's throat rolled and his face looked grim.

Uchiha Soriki could not stand any longer, so he squatted down to check on Uchiha Zhaoping's condition.

Uchiha Shigeka answered Uchiha Tomokazu's question: "In theory, Izanagi activates immediately after a person dies... Uh, maybe the clan leader is an exception?"

"...Exceptions. Izanagi's activation time has long passed. How can there be an exception?"

Uchiha Fugaku's heart was bleeding and grief surged throughout his body. He threw himself on Uchiha Zhaoping and wailed.

"Father!!!"

Uchiha Shigeka looked at him, and his Sharingan did not change at all.

The more Uchiha Sori examined, the heavier his heart felt. He stood up and everyone looked at him with somewhat uneasy eyes, as if they were expecting something, or afraid.

"How about it?"

Uchiha Souri was silent for a moment, then sighed and shook his head.

"The clan leader's Izanagi did not activate... He went to the netherworld."

Upon hearing the confirmed news of the clan leader's death, everyone was stunned and couldn't believe it.

"How is it possible!? I saw with my own eyes that the clan leader performed Izanagi's hand seal before the battle. How could he fail?"

"You ask me, how would I know!"

Uchiha Tomokazu looked at the crying Uchiha Fugaku.

"The person who successfully activated Izanagi recently was Fugaku. Why did the clan leader and Fugaku have different experiences... maybe Izanagi has some taboos that we don't know about."

"...But the tribesmen who experienced the civil strife of that year used Izanagi very smoothly, and they have never heard of any taboos."

"Izanagi has only one request, a bright Sharingan, nothing else..."

Uchiha Shigeka interrupted, "So, why did the clan leader fail?"

......

Chapter 160: Mangekyō Sharingan, open!

The earth wall collapsed.

Uchiha Shigeka and others looked at Uchiha Zhaoping's body with grief.

Uchiha Fugaku's eyes were red and there were traces of tears on his face. He stared at his father's body in a daze.

clang!

Hanzo Salamander blocked the attack of an Uchiha clan member and glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.

"Hey, your clan leader is dead, aren't you going to pay your respects to his body?"

Salamander Hanzo's words made the angry Uchiha people look over subconsciously, and they were immediately shocked and stunned.

Just as they were still upset because of Uchiha Zhaoping's body.

A gleam of light flashed in Hanzo's eyes. He bent down again, holding the chain in his left hand and the sickle in his right hand.

The amazing speed started again.

Swordsmanship: Iai Slash!

"what?!"

When the Uchiha people came to their senses and saw that Hanzo of the Salamander had used the trick to kill the clan leader, they did not dare to be careless and quickly concentrated on dealing with it.

But Hanzo of the Salamander did not use the Iai Slash to kill anyone. He did not have the belief that he would kill everyone with his sword. He used his swift skills to pass through the Uchiha group and escaped the siege of the Uchiha clan.

Everyone then realized that they had unknowingly arrived at the edge of the Uchiha clan's blockade and siege.
