章節 80: Chapter 80: I, Uchiha Akira, Invite the Hokage to Ascend!
In the Uchiha district, the battle between Fugaku and Itachi continued!
Both wielded the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, and as they exchanged blows, it was clear that neither could gain the upper hand. The fight seemed to be locked in a stalemate!
In the original story, Fugaku saw no hope of victory and chose to surrender.
But now, Uchiha Akira had given Fugaku a sliver of hope.
Thus, Fugaku pushed his Mangekyō to its limits, trying his best to buy time for Uchiha Akira!
Fugaku's thoughts were simple: the longer he could delay the battle, the less pressure Akira would face!
If Akira could truly succeed in his decapitation plan, it would be the best possible outcome!
If he failed, at least the reduced pressure would give Akira a better chance of escaping alive.
As the greatest genius in Uchiha history, Fugaku had placed the future of the clan in Akira's hands!
As long as Akira lived, the Uchiha clan would not be completely annihilated!
"What should we do?"
In the shadows of the Uchiha district, several ANBU and Root ninjas observed the father-son battle. One of them couldn't help but ask.
"We can't wait any longer. It's clear that Uchiha Itachi alone can't get the job done. Fortunately, Fugaku is occupied. Everyone, attack together!"
After a brief moment of thought, the hidden ninja gave the order.
Indeed, with the Uchiha's two strongest Mangekyō wielders locked in battle, this was a rare opportunity to annihilate the Uchiha clan!
Once they had made up their minds, all the hidden ANBU and Root ninjas appeared.
One by one, masked figures emerged in the darkness, their shadows flickering.
There were hundreds of them, indicating that both the ANBU and Root had been deployed almost in full force!
"Be on alert, we're under attack!"
Despite the darkness, the Uchiha clan's Sharingan provided excellent vision.
As soon as the ANBU and Root ninjas appeared, the Uchiha warriors quickly rallied together.
Their faces were grim like never before.
Judging by the numbers, the ANBU and Root forces were even greater than theirs!
So, the Konoha leadership had made up their minds to eliminate the Uchiha completely?
"Damn Konoha! They actually managed to turn Itachi into a traitor!"
"We had two Mangekyō Sharingan in our clan, but now, we can't even use one to fend off Konoha's attack!"
"So many people? Konoha really intends to wipe out the Uchiha!"
The Uchiha warriors cursed internally as they realized that with Itachi occupying Fugaku, their clan's claws had effectively been clipped.
"Attack!"
At this point, there was no need for more words. The ANBU and Root ninjas who had revealed themselves launched their assault!
Sigh…
In the midst of the chaos, Uchiha Itachi sighed deeply as he glanced at the melee between the Uchiha clan and the Konoha ninjas.
Why had he personally taken up the task of annihilating the Uchiha?
It was to prevent a full-scale battle between the Uchiha and Konoha, which would only deplete Konoha's strength!
But now, the situation seemed to be spiraling into exactly what he had hoped to avoid!
"All of you, listen to me! Focus on self-preservation!" Seeing that the Uchiha warriors were emboldened by the dire situation and were preparing to fight to the death, Fugaku quickly shouted.
Kill one and break even, kill two and you're ahead?
Such thoughts must not take root in the Uchiha warriors' minds!
Fugaku couldn't forget the mission they had agreed upon.
Their task was to delay, to buy as much time as possible!
"Focus on self-preservation? Don't prioritize killing the enemy?" The Uchiha warriors were puzzled by Fugaku's order.
They couldn't understand why their clan leader had given such a directive.
But since it was the clan leader's command, the Uchiha warriors began to change their fighting style, working in pairs and small groups, covering each other, and focusing on defense.
"Follow the clan leader's orders! Focus on self-preservation!"
At this moment, the Great Elder Uchiha Tai also spoke up, loudly echoing Fugaku's strategy.
With both the clan leader and the Great Elder issuing such orders, all the Uchiha warriors regrouped, forming a defensive perimeter.
"Father, are you trying to buy time? What are you planning?"
Itachi, ever perceptive, immediately noticed the change in the Uchiha warriors' tactics and realized that they were trying to delay.
But why? What was the Uchiha's hidden card that he wasn't aware of?
However, Fugaku did not answer Itachi's question.
Itachi was left bewildered.
If the Uchiha had a hidden card, it would involve the three greatest warriors: Father, himself, and Akira.
Now, Father and he were locked in battle. As for Akira…
He had opened the Seventh Gate a few days ago and shouldn't be able to fight for at least a month.
So, what could the Uchiha be planning?
Knowing that the Uchiha had some kind of hidden card but not knowing what it was made Itachi deeply uncomfortable.
"Is the Uchiha trying to buy time? What are they planning?"
Tobi, lurking in the shadows and mainly responsible for preventing the Uchiha from escaping, also realized that they were stalling for time.
But like Itachi, he was puzzled. What were they planning to do?
"Heh heh heh, so it's the Uchiha Massacre Night, after all?"
"Itachi-kun, as expected of the man I have my eye on, so young and already possessing the Mangekyō Sharingan!"
"But where is Akira-kun? Where has he gone?"
In another corner of the Uchiha district, another figure was observing the chaos.
A pair of cold, vertical golden snake eyes focused on Uchiha Itachi, while a raspy, magnetic voice, full of sinister charm, echoed in the night.
The figure was none other than Orochimaru!
Had he not known, he wouldn't have cared.
But he had known about the Uchiha Massacre Night for half a year, so Orochimaru naturally had to witness the show firsthand!
On one hand, it was an excellent opportunity to collect some Uchiha blood and Sharingan amidst the chaos.
On the other hand, he was also curious to see if Uchiha Akira's prophecy from half a year ago would come true!
Now, it seemed that Akira indeed had the ability to foresee the future!
After all, he had predicted the Uchiha Massacre Night half a year ago—what better proof was there?
However, despite his fascination with Itachi's power and his obsession with his body, Orochimaru's thoughts also turned to Uchiha Akira.
Even now, there had been no sign of Akira. What was going on? Where could he be?
Could it be that, knowing about the Massacre Night, Akira had hidden himself away in advance?
Back in the Uchiha district, the battle had erupted, with Uchiha warriors and Konoha ninjas clashing.
Even though the Uchiha were now focused on self-preservation, the chaotic battle still claimed lives on both sides one after another.
War is a giant meat grinder, and in the face of this grinder, life is the cheapest commodity…
Leaving the chaos in the Uchiha district aside, as per the pre-arranged plan, Fugaku and the Uchiha warriors were indeed doing their best to buy time!
Meanwhile, in the Sarutobi district, Uchiha Akira violently kicked open the Third Hokage's door!
With almost all of the ANBU and Root forces deployed, there was no one left in the Sarutobi family to stop him!
As Akira stormed into the house, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, quickly rushed out.
Not only did Hiruzen emerge, but a three- or four-year-old boy followed closely behind him!
"Take Konohamaru away!" Hiruzen immediately ordered the servant at his side as he glanced at his young grandson.
Then, his gaze shifted to Uchiha Akira, his face displaying a look of utter disbelief!
"It's you? Uchiha Akira? What are you doing here!?"
Indeed, at this moment, the Uchiha clan was supposed to be undergoing its extermination, so why was Akira not in the Uchiha district but here at his house!?
Moreover, just a few days ago, Akira had opened the Seventh Gate and was left crippled, unable to move.
Hiruzen had heard about Akira occasionally appearing on the streets of Konoha in a wheelchair.
But now, here he was, bursting into his house with such overwhelming force?
This was beyond Hiruzen's comprehension!
The turn of events had completely exceeded his expectations!
"Me? I'm here to backdoor you!" Uchiha Akira said, addressing the Third Hokage.
Backdoor?
Although this new term was unfamiliar to Hiruzen, in the current context, it didn't take long for him to grasp what it meant.
"Uchiha Akira, you've come to kill me? Do you really think you can do it?"
Hiruzen's expression darkened as he spoke, his tone serious and filled with authority. He was the Third Hokage, after all—a title not just bestowed but earned through countless battles and years of leadership. The idea that a seven-year-old child, even one as prodigious as Uchiha Akira, could pose a genuine threat to him seemed preposterous.
But Akira showed no signs of fear or hesitation. Instead, he met the Hokage's gaze with calm determination. Without wasting time on words, he extended his hand, gesturing with a slight, almost mocking bow as if inviting the Hokage to his doom.
"I, Uchiha Akira, invite you—Hokage—to ascend!" Akira's voice was cold, unwavering, and carried an air of finality.
