Sarutobi Hiruzen already felt a little tired. Consuming Danzo's abilities initially and performing a large ninjutsu quickly depleted his chakra.
Facing the unstoppable, colossal wooden figure controlled by Uchiha Natsu, Sarutobi Hiruzen's hesitation turned into determination.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
With a low shout, Hiruzen Sarutobi formed a seal with his hands, creating a shadow clone on each side. The clones leaped down, forming a triangle shape and surrounding Uchiha Natsu's wooden figures.
Uchiha Natsu, in control of the wooden figure, quickly located Sarutobi Hiruzen's real body. The wooden man's eyes gleamed with light as it swung its fist, smashing down like a cannon.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had completed the sealing technique, shouting, "Sealing technique, three-way seal!"
"Call out!"
Three green rays of light formed under his feet, and the two shadow clones created a triangle. A translucent green light curtain enveloped the wooden man, stopping its fist but cracking in the process.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was astonished. These three seals were powerful for a single person's sealing technique. Usually impervious to attacks, it had cracked from a single punch, showcasing its immense strength.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen's primary goal was to temporarily halt the wooden man's actions. Seeing the success of the three-way seal, he released his two shadow clones.
Leaving only his main body in one corner, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly formed hand signs in the mudra.
Uchiha Natsu glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen's sealing technique and sneered. The move, known as the "Sealing technique" was a suicidal trick. It sealed both the opponent's and the user's soul. However, if the opponent lacked a soul, the technique would be ineffective.
The wooden man's physical strength peaked, and it violently punched again.
"Call!"
"Boom!"
The light curtain shattered, and the fist continued, hitting Hiruzen Sarutobi. Meanwhile, behind him, an invisible arm revealed a phantom of the Thousand-Handed Deity.
As the wooden figure broke through the light curtain, Hiruzen Sarutobi extended an arm from his stomach, grabbing the top of the wooden figure's head.
But the invisible arm failed to extract the soul.
Uchiha Natsu didn't waste time. He slammed his fist onto Sarutobi Hiruzen's body. Though blocked by the light curtain initially, the remaining force was significant, sending Hiruzen Sarutobi tens of meters away.
After hitting the rock wall, the summoning spell of the ape dissipated, and Sarutobi Hiruzen, covered in blood, fainted.
Uchiha Natsu, from a distance, observed the scene with indifference. He extended his hand from a big tree, making a seal.
At this moment, inside a prison thousands of meters away, Natsu Uchiha's shadow clone opened its eyes, knowing it was time to act.
The prison guard walked toward the gate, unaware of the imminent escape.
Uchiha Natsu gestured to his companions, who had gathered. Despite the dirty surroundings and daylight, they were ready to follow his lead.
Bending the iron railing with ease, Uchiha Natsu opened a gap, allowing them to pass. After incapacitating the guards silently, he found the key to the lock and freed the Uchiha clan.
Tiehuo was excited, wondering about their next move.
Uchiha Natsu explained, "My body is outside, and I found that Konoha is in big trouble. But this is also a good opportunity for us Uchiha clans to clarify ourselves."
He added, "It will be a chance to become Hokage legitimately."
The Uchiha clan was puzzled, but Uchiha Natsu emphasized the opportunity to protect Konoha and dispel the prejudice against their clan.
Fu Yue, eager to know more, asked, "Natsu, what's going on?"
Uchiha Natsu glanced at them, calmly stating, "I don't know the details, but since Konoha is in crisis, it is an opportunity for us."
Hearing about Konoha's crisis, the Uchiha clan members felt conflicted. Despite their fading sense of belonging, the idea of protecting their home prevailed.
Yamashiro spoke up, "Konoha is our home. We must protect it, especially when it is in crisis. Think about the friends from other families who extended a helping hand when we were in trouble."
Uchiha Natsu, observing their reactions, remained calm and said, "Let's go."
