Chapter 819: The Complete Susanoo
Chapter 819: The Complete Susanoo
"I report that the Uchiha Clan is plotting a coup!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts were interrupted by the sudden, anxious shout from Taruto, who had just arrived. He was still wondering why Taruto had come to see him, and before he could ask, he was met with such a heavy accusation.
"Is it possible that the Uchiha Clan has even given up on pretending?"
Hiruzen maintained his composure, but his mind was in turmoil.
According to the Anbu's intelligence, Taruto had only recently visited the Uchiha Clan grounds and had not returned since. He had not interacted with any Uchiha ninjas either.
Yet, Taruto had somehow discovered the Uchiha Clan's secret plan for a coup.
"Hokage-sama, please trust me. I am certain that the Uchiha are planning a coup. If we don't act quickly, Konoha might fall into internal chaos."
Taruto spoke with utmost seriousness.
"At that time, other powerful ninja villages might take advantage and invade Fire Country, leading to a new war."
Seeing Taruto's expression, which seemed to suggest that Konoha was already in a perilous situation, Hiruzen paused for a moment before slowly saying,
"In fact, a few days ago, my Anbu had already gathered intelligence indicating the Uchiha's impending coup."
"Then why haven't you taken action to suppress the rebels?" Taruto asked.
"This coup is different from the previous ones. It has gained widespread support from the Uchiha ninjas within the clan. If we were to arrest them prematurely, it would only escalate the conflict."
Hiruzen explained helplessly.
During the reign of Senju Tobirama, there had been Uchiha plotting a coup, but they were suppressed before they could act.
However, Hiruzen could not follow Tobirama's example this time, as the number of supporters for the coup was too high. The entire Uchiha Clan had become hawkish, and arresting them would be akin to declaring war.
Hiruzen did not want to lose the powerful Uchiha Clan, so he could only think of ways to delay the inevitable.
"Let me handle this. As a Uchiha myself, I am the most suitable person to resolve this coup initiated by the Uchiha."
Taruto volunteered eagerly.
"Tell me your plan."
Hiruzen did not reject him outright.
Although he still couldn't fully trust Taruto, the current situation had become too dire, and Hiruzen desperately needed to resolve the Uchiha issue.
"I haven't figured it out yet, but as long as you, Hokage-sama, gradually meet my demands, there shouldn't be a problem."
Taruto spoke confidently.
In truth, he had already formulated a rough plan, but his persona as a hero who had just returned a few days ago prevented him from revealing too much knowledge about the Uchiha's recent situation.
Hiruzen rubbed his forehead, thinking that a reliable person had finally arrived, only to realize that the most absurd person had come instead, with no plan at all, yet daring to ask him to fulfill his demands.
Boom!
Crack!
At that moment, Taruto's body suddenly erupted with an incredibly terrifying chakra, and its sheer force caused the wooden floor beneath him to shatter.
Hiruzen's expression changed, and he quickly stood up, rapidly gathering his chakra.
The Anbu guards outside the Hokage's Office, sensing the terrifying aura, thought that Hiruzen was under attack and rushed in.
"Go back, it's fine."
Since Taruto had only released his chakra and made no other moves, showing no hostility or murderous intent, Hiruzen soon sat down again, allowing the Anbu to return to their posts.
"Hokage-sama, rest assured. If I fail, I will personally deal with those who intend to rebel!"
Taruto's voice was filled with determination as he withdrew his aura.
"Then give it a try. If your demands are unreasonable, I won't fulfill them."
Hiruzen thought for a moment before finally agreeing to Taruto's request.
"Hehe, thank you for your trust, Hokage-sama."
Taruto scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed as he looked at the wood shavings on the floor, a stark contrast to his previous domineering demeanor.
"Let's deduct this from Kakashi's salary. I'll pay him back later. Farewell, Hokage-sama."
Leaving behind a sentence that might cause Kakashi's blood pressure to skyrocket, Taruto departed from the Hokage's Office.
Watching Taruto's departing figure, Hiruzen's expression was complex.
"Such terrifying chakra... I fear I am no match for him at this moment."
Hiruzen glanced at the shattered wood in the office, his mind unable to find peace.
He had already believed most of Taruto's absurd explanation because the alternative was even more implausible.
Could Taruto have been a spy who had been brainwashed for nine years?
Which powerful ninja village could have such strength, brainwashing a spy and also providing a powerful upgrade package, elevating their strength to the level of a Hokage?
With such strength, they should have used it to cultivate the heir of the ninja village; only a fool would use it to train a spy.
"I hope this will be the turning point for the Uchiha issue."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.
If they couldn't find a solution soon, he would have no choice but to consider a forceful approach.
After all, no matter how much he valued the Uchiha, it was based on the premise that they were part of Konoha's ninja clan, and Konoha's interests always came first.
...
After leaving the Hokage Tower, Taruto rushed towards the Police Force without a moment's rest.
The Root ninja, having discerned Taruto's destination, exchanged a glance and then decisively charged towards him.
Taruto had already visited the Uchiha clan grounds and the Hokage Tower, and now he was heading to the Police Force. It was clear he was up to something.
Bang!
"Get lost!"
Without even glancing at the two Root ninjas, Taruto focused his chakra in his legs and unleashed a spinning kick, sending both ninjas flying and crashing into several trees before they came to a halt.
He continued on his way to the Police Force without delivering a finishing blow or checking on their conditions.
"What incredible speed!"
One of the Root ninjas wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, shocked.
The two elite Root ninjas had launched a surprise attack, yet they were effortlessly defeated.
"Go report this to Danzo-sama. This guy is suspicious."
The other Root ninja said.
The Root ninjas nodded and, disregarding their injuries, hurried back to the Root base.
"Where is Captain Fuyake? I need to speak with him."
Upon arriving at the Police Force, Taruto immediately asked about the whereabouts of Fuyake Uchiha.
"You're Taruto? If you have something to say, speak to me."
A Uchiha ninja recognized Taruto and stood up to speak.
Fuyake Uchiha, as the captain of the Police Force, was a busy man. It would be a miracle if he had time to meet with just anyone.
"Speaking to you is pointless. I must speak with Captain Fuyake."
Taruto shook his head.
What use was it to speak to an ordinary Uchiha ninja? He needed someone with sufficient influence.
"Don't think that just because you're an Uchiha, you can cause trouble here."
The Uchiha ninja spoke with annoyance.
"You want to speak to me? Then come to my office."
Fuyake Uchiha, who had just stepped out, witnessed this and spoke after a moment's thought.
Fuyake Uchiha was curious as to why this Uchiha, who had been missing for nine years, had sought him out.
Whether before or after his disappearance, they weren't close.
Taruto immediately followed him into Fuyake Uchiha's office.
"You must have encountered some difficulties and want to return to the Uchiha..."
"The clan is planning a coup d'etat, isn't it?"
Before Fuyake Uchiha could finish his sentence, Taruto interrupted.
Fuyake Uchiha's brows furrowed, but he quickly regained his composure.
"A Uchiha coup d'etat? That's a malicious rumor with ill intentions. Where did you hear this? I'll send people to arrest them immediately."
Fuyake Uchiha asked, his expression unreadable.
Even though the coup d'etat was no longer a secret among the Uchiha ninjas, Taruto had never attended a clan meeting and shouldn't have known about the coup.
"Of course, it's our Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi."
Taruto replied with a smile.
The latest news in the Sixth Nine-Tailed Fox book series has just been released!
"Spreading rumors about the Hokage will land you in prison."
Fuyake Uchiha's eyes turned crimson, and he stared at Taruto with an icy gaze.
"If it wasn't the Hokage who told me, could it be that I, an Uchiha who just returned to Konoha, casually visited the clan grounds and learned of the coup?"
Not only was Taruto unfazed by Fuyake Uchiha's Sharingan, but he also poured himself a cup of tea from the teapot on the desk without the slightest hesitation.
Fuyake Uchiha glared at Taruto, his mind racing as he tried to determine the truth behind Taruto's words.
The more he thought about it, the more pessimistic Fuyake Uchiha became.
Because whether Taruto's words were true or false, they revealed one crucial piece of information—the Uchiha's coup plans had been exposed.
Even Taruto, a ninja who had only returned to Konoha a few days ago, knew about the coup. How could the Anbu ninja not know? If they knew, how could Hiruzen Sarutobi not know?
"The Third Hokage has entrusted the matter of resolving the Uchiha coup to me and Itachi."
Taruto brought the teacup to his lips and took a sip before speaking.
"If we can't resolve this peacefully, we will use force to eliminate any ninja with rebellious intentions."
"Itachi and you?"
Fuyake Uchiha asked skeptically.
If Itachi Uchiha had been assigned the task, he might believe it.
As a father, Fuyake Uchiha had witnessed his genius son's growth firsthand.
What was Taruto compared to that? Just an average Uchiha.
"Shunshin!"
Seeing Fuyake Uchiha questioning his abilities, Taruto smiled faintly and, in a flash, appeared beside Fuyake Uchiha, sucking him into the Kamui dimension.
"This eye!"
Within the Shinra Tensei space, Uchiha Fugaku immediately reacted and teleported away from Obito, maintaining a distance. Upon seeing the pattern in Obito's blood-red eyes, Fugaku's expression turned to shock.
As the leader of the Uchiha clan, he knew more than the average Uchiha. The three tomoe was not the pinnacle of the Sharingan; above the three tomoe was the Mangekyou Sharingan!
"Since you already possess this eye, you should understand the greatness of the Uchiha clan better than the average Uchiha. Why are you helping Konoha? Return to the clan. With your power, the coup will surely succeed."
Uchiha Fugaku secretly gathered his chakra while trying to persuade Obito to join the coup faction.
"Uncle Fugaku, you have quite a sense of humor."
Obito couldn't help but laugh out loud.
His current achievements were due to the guidance of Habu Myugetsu, and he had nothing to do with the Uchiha clan.
"Are you already prepared to suppress them? Start with me, the captain."
Uchiha Fugaku's heart sank.
Although the Uchiha were the strongest ninja clan, facing the entire Konoha, they had no chance of victory, especially when they had lost the initiative.
"Of course not. It's just more convenient for us to communicate here."
Obito shook his head.
"I am still a member of the Uchiha clan, and I wish for the clan's well-being. Uncle Fugaku, give up on the unrealistic fantasy of a coup."
"If Shisui hadn't committed suicide, and Itachi had firmly stood by the clan, the coup would have definitely succeeded!"
Uchiha Fugaku refuted.
He didn't believe that the coup was an unrealistic fantasy.
"Not carrying out the coup is like slow suicide. The Konoha upper echelons are excluding the Uchiha, gradually weakening the Uchiha's power. If we don't act now, we won't even have a chance to save ourselves later!"
"No matter what, it will never succeed."
Obito shook his head in denial.
"Because I won't let you guys with your wild ideas mess things up."
"Susanoo!"
As Obito finished speaking, a substantial blue chakra materialized around him.
In an instant, the ground was destroyed, and the roaring sound continued.
Amidst the dust and fog, a samurai the size of a mountain rose from the ground and appeared before Uchiha Fugaku.
Looking at the blue giant towering over 150 meters, Uchiha Fugaku's kunai, which he had just drawn, fell to the ground, and his expression turned to shock.
At this moment, he finally understood why some sources referred to Susanoo as the power of a god.
This was an absolutely unbeatable enemy; the gap between them was like a heavenly moat.
Not only was it just him, but even the entire Uchiha clan combined would not be a match for Obito.
"It seems like Uncle Fugaku, you've calmed down."
Obito dispersed his complete Susanoo and landed beside Uchiha Fugaku, smiling.
Obito was a reasonable person, but he was well aware that at this time, in many situations, one needed sufficient strength for others to be willing to listen to his reasoning.
"With you standing on Konoha's side, the Uchiha clan will definitely fail, no matter what."
Even if Uchiha Fugaku was unwilling, he had to admit that the Uchiha clan's coup had completely failed.
Unless the Uchiha clan immediately produced another figure like Senju Hashirama, but that was obviously impossible.
"What do you need me to do?"
Uchiha Fugaku asked.
Although Obito wasn't helping the Uchiha coup, he didn't seem to want to directly kill the Uchiha either.
"It's simple. Help me capture the Uchiha spies who intend to cause internal strife in Konoha, and Uncle Fugaku, you will be promoted, and the Uchiha clan will also improve."
Obito wanted to change the tragedy of the clan's annihilation, but he didn't plan to use his strength to protect every member of the Uchiha clan. Someone had to make a sacrifice.
Times were different; he couldn't solve everything with gentle means like Shisui. Now, the contradictions had become extremely sharp.
Moreover, some Uchiha indeed deserved to be punished.
"Spies? I understand."
Uchiha Fugaku was about to say that the Uchiha clan couldn't have enemy village spies, but he quickly understood Obito's intention.
Obito wanted to label some Uchiha ninjas who intended to carry out the coup as spies.
Compared to a coup, being a spy wasn't considered a serious matter.
However, regarding Obito's mention of promotion, Uchiha Fugaku didn't take it seriously.
Since Sarutobi Hiruzen already knew about the Uchiha coup, what chance did he have for promotion? Not being imprisoned would already be a blessing.
