Chapter 527: The True Bombing of Your Ancestral Tomb!
Chapter 527: The True Bombing of Your Ancestral Tomb!
Tagami Clan Shrine!
Just before the massive Eightfold Seals detached from Susanoo, it abruptly rotated, then launched the enormous Eightfold Seals in its hand.
Eightfold Seals!
This seal was somewhat different from the Daidoshi, or Uchiha Ketsu's, seal.
In the air, the massive purple seal split like a Sword Shadow Clone Technique, forming countless smaller purple seals that rained down on the clan shrine area hundreds of meters away.
Buzz!
A semi-transparent barrier rose, enveloping both the shrine and the shelter below.
Naturally, a specially set-up barrier couldn't only have camouflage functions.
Rip!
Facing the torrential rain of seals, the barrier was torn apart like silk.
Too cruel!
This destructive force was truly overwhelming.
The attacks of ordinary ninjas were on a completely different level compared to the attacks unleashed by Susanoo.
It was like Tang Ping using the Tenjin Sword with a several dozen-meter-tall Zhu Rong's true body and using the Tenjin Sword himself, but with vastly different effects.
The former could cleave mountains and split peaks, while the latter wasn't so exaggerated.
"No!!!"
Amidst the shocked gazes of the higher-ups, including Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo, the purple seals fell like raindrops.
Boom! Boom!!!
Each small seal had a power comparable to a fraction of an explosive tag.
The key was the quantity!
The small seals, split from the large seal, numbered in the tens of thousands. Although nearly half were consumed when tearing the barrier, the remaining number still exceeded a thousand.
With thousands of seals, each with a power comparable to a fraction of an explosive tag, converging, the destructive force was as exaggerated as it could get.
Buildings were blasted into ruins, and flesh and blood were shattered!
Under such an attack, not even ants could survive, let alone humans.
Even the shelter located beneath the clan shrine was affected by the relentless bombardment, resulting in heavy casualties among those taking refuge inside.
Since they weren't explosive tags, there was no smoke or flames, so the explosions came and went swiftly.
After using the moonlight to see clearly, everyone fell silent.
The area where the Tagami Clan Shrine was located was now just a blood-red pit, battered and ruined.
"Uchiha Fuyuki!!!"
Danzo charged out in a fit of rage.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, on the other hand, guessed that this might not have been Uchiha Fuyuki's intention but rather the doing of a hidden manipulator.
Otherwise, how could they have known that there was a shelter there, and that people were hiding in it? They had been fighting against them, so it was impossible for them to have this knowledge.
At this moment, Uchiha Fuyuki, who stood motionless at the scene, was feeling better than ever.
Especially after hearing Danzo's howls of grief and anger, his good mood intensified, and he had to put on a performance of being 'controlled' or else he would have shouted out much earlier.
However, he was at his limit now.
Not only were his eyes nearly blinded from the strain of using his Byakugan Power, but his chakra was also depleted.
So, even if Danzo charged towards him, he couldn't see him. He only used the last of his remaining chakra to ignite the explosive tags attached to his body.
Self-detonation!
If he could drag Danzo down with him, that would be best. If not, he still needed to take care of his corpse.
There were too many secrets on his body.
Especially these eyes, which he absolutely couldn't leave behind for Konoha, so he used them without restraint.
Danzo reached Uchiha Fuyuki, whose expression was as stiff as a puppet after Susanoo had dissipated, when he suddenly sensed danger.
Powerful warriors trusted their instincts implicitly, sometimes even more than their eyes. So, by the time he managed to form hand seals, it was already too late.
Boom! Boom!
The flames and explosions soared into the sky, erupting around Uchiha Fuyuki, tearing apart Danzo and the Root Division ninjas surrounding him.
"Danzo!"
"Leader!"
...
Various exclamations of surprise rang out.
Danzo absolutely couldn't die, at least not in the eyes of the remaining three F4 and the Root Division.
Fortunately, their fears did not come to pass.
"Cough, cough!"
A light cough echoed from the side alley, and Danzo, his bandages freshly adjusted, emerged.
"That was just my Shadow Clone; there's no need to worry!"
Indeed, he had just used a 'Revival Coin' and thus managed to escape successfully.
It must be said that there is a reason why Explosive Tags are so expensive. Even a Shadow Rank Powerhouse could be caught off guard and fall into a trap, directly killed by an Explosive Tag.
"Is that so..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, for he had just felt that the opponent was not a clone, but now was not the time to pursue such trivial matters. Instead, he needed to see if the opponent had left any clues.
Although there was no hope, one must still have dreams.
If the opponent's body was preserved, then the Sharingan... Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a step forward.
What a pity!
After a few Explosive Tags went off, not even a trace of flesh remained.
After all, Explosive Tags were not just about explosions; they also produced a large amount of flames.
That was why ninjas preferred to use Explosive Tags when disposing of their bodies.
"..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the deep pit created by the explosion, his gaze turning towards the distant ruins of the Uchiha Compound, the partially destroyed Sarutobi Clan Territory, and the current Tagami Clan Territory, feeling incredibly conflicted.
The original plan was not supposed to be like this!
Using Itachi as a weapon, they were supposed to exterminate the Uchiha from within, and by tomorrow, the village would have discovered the 'truth', and then they could issue a wanted notice for the opponent.
But now? First, the Uchiha Compound was flattened by the pre-arranged Explosive Tags, and on top of that, with the commotion caused by the Sarutobi and Tagami clans, there was no way to suppress the situation.
Without such a big commotion, it would be natural for the villagers to believe whatever the village elders said.
But now, if they were to say that the village was unaware of the Uchiha incident, it would be an insult to the villagers' intelligence.
Headache!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was in agony.
If there was a regret pill to take, he would never have let Danzo run wild, causing such a huge mess.
The Uchiha Clan's annihilation could have been kept secret, but now, there's no way to contain it."
And once other forces find out about this, there's a high chance they'll invade Konoha, directly triggering a Shinobi World War.
"The Shadow Division will immediately take over the scene, organize rescue and search for the enemy, the Root Division will monitor the borders, and keep an eye on the movements of the other Shinobi Villages. We must first discuss how to deal with the situation at hand!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the order loudly.
The top priority now is not to search for the enemy, but to discuss how to deal with the various Shinobi Villages.
The simplest approach is to 'increase troops' at the borders to deter the other Shinobi Villages.
Once they know that Konoha is prepared, these villages will naturally be cautious.
After all, even if Konoha is weak, it's not something any single village can handle alone. If anyone dares to attack first, they will surely be targeted and defeated.
With the mutual suspicions among the major villages, no one will dare to take the lead.
The discussion was held right here, not only because of the urgency of the situation, but also because the leaders of the various Fire Shadow clans were present, and this place was relatively safe.
Who knows if the opponent has done something in the Fire Shadow Tower.
"Hiruzen, immediately bring Tsunade and Jiraiya back, the village needs them now!"
Mizukage Gen was the first to speak.
Konoha was currently in a state of chaos.
No one understood the Uchiha Clan's influence in the Shinobi world better than these village elders.
Without them, the consequences would be severe.
"No, Tsunade's whereabouts have been kept secret, and as for Jiraiya, it's impossible for him to return in time!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head in refusal.
"In that case... let's have the 404 Squad return to stand guard!"
Mizukage Gen reluctantly suggested.
That was the only option left.
Their original plan was to completely block information about the few people, suppressing their influence in the village.
But now, it seemed that this plan was not feasible.
"I'll discuss it with them..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly nodded.
If given a choice, he would never agree.
The greater the opponent's influence, the more dangerous it would be for the Fire Shadow faction, especially since the opponent was no longer part of the 'Fire Shadow' faction.
After confirming this, the following matters would be easier to discuss.
However, it wasn't until the next day, after Hiruzen Sarutobi had only slept for a few hours, that he was shocked by a piece of news.
