Chapter 76: Sarutobi Hiruzen's Despair
Akimichi clan
Akimichi Torifu looked at the tall golden giant from a distance.
He said with some emotion in his voice, "It's indeed the Susanoo."
"Unexpectedly, there are still people in this generation of Uchiha who can use the Susanoo."
Along with Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzō, and the others, he was also a student of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama.
But unlike the four high level officials of Konoha, he was now just an ordinary reclusive old man.
Nara Shikaku respectfully asked, "Senior Torifu, what do you think we should do now?"
Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Inoichi also held their breaths.
What choices should the Ino–Shika–Chō trio make?
Going out to rescue the Third Hokage?
They didn't know much about the Susanoo, so they came to ask Torifu, an old senior for advice.
Torifu pondered for a moment, then said, "The Susanoo of the Uchiha clan, known as the power of the gods, is naturally very strong."
"Both it's offense and defense are very strong."
"If you go out to support Sarutobi Hiruzen, you may suffer a lot."
"That's all. As for making the decision, it's up to you, Shikaku, from the Nara clan."
Among the Ino-Shika-Chō, the smartest Nara clan had always made decisions, and the three clans executed them together.
Nara Shikaku nodded and said, "If we go to support the Third Hokage now and he ends up winning, we will earn some benefits."
"But if Uchiha Yuta wins in the end, we will have to fight against the Uchiha clan."
"The situation is not yet clear, and my advice is that it is better not to poke the Uchiha clan."
Hearing this, Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Inoichi were both relieved.
If they were asked to lead their clan to face that Susanoo outside, they had no confidence.
"Is that so?"
Torifu nodded.
In his opinion, it was okay to be conservative at this time.
Hiruzen and Danzo had their own reasons for being in such a situation.
Similar to the Ino-Shika-Chō, Inuzuka, Aburame and other clans also made the same decision.
Just wait and see!
They'd rather not get greedy for any benefits.
And because of these decisions, Sarutobi Hiruzen ran and escaped near the land of the various clans, but no one came to rescue him at all.
Behind him, Yuta's Susanoo was still in hot pursuit.
Occasionally, the Susanoo would shoot a few arrows at him.
It was like a hunter chasing a fleeing prey in the forest.
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of this metaphor in his mind and became infuriated.
He is the Hokage, and now he had become a prey that was being hunted down.
Like a lost dog, he was being chased and fleeing on the streets of Konoha.
What a shame!
And these damn ninjas didn't even come out to support him!
They were as hateful as this damn Uchiha Yuta.
It seems that suppressing them was not enough.
Sarutobi Hiruzen remembered the clans he had passed by: Hyuga, Ino–Shika–Chō, Inuzuka, Aburame…
But the most important thing now was to get rid of Yuta behind him.
Sarutobi Hiruzen made up his mind and ran directly towards his own clan.
He planned to mobilize all the clansmen, and slowly consume Yuta's stamina.
The clan lanc of the Sarutobi clan was already close at hand.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up with hope.
He looked back at Yuta inside the golden Susanoo behind him wickedly.
Damn Yuta!
Just wait for a while!
'When you can no longer use the Susanoo, it'll be time for your death.'
Soon
Sarutobi Hiruzen came to the front of his clan's residence.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked to find that his clan land was shrouded in a fiery red barrier.
"This is... Uchiha's flame formation?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly recognized the barrier surrounding his clan land.
He became stunned, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
What happened?
Why was the Uchiha flame formation surrounding his clan?
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, didn't you ask Itachi to massacre the Uchiha clan?"
Behind, Yuta, who was chasing Sarutobi Hiruzen like a dog stopped with an unstoppable smile on his face.
"This is the second gift I have prepared for you today, please accept it!"
Within the Sarutobi clan.
Itachi quickly came and went from house to house.
The blade in his hand and the clothes on his body had all been dyed red with blood.
He had killed an unknown number of people.
And this moment.
In the genjutsu space of Itachi.
Itachi's will was about to collapse at this moment.
He was controlled by Yuta with a genjutsu, and his will was being detained in the genjutsu world.
He could only watch himself frantically slaughtering the Sarutobi clan.
"No..."
"They are innocent..."
"Yuta...you devil..."
"Let me die... please... someone kill me..."
Although the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan were generally relatively high-ranked, their actual combat abilities were not very good.
After all, most of them had reached their current level by only doing some non-dangerous tasks.
And the elites of the Sarutobi clan were basically all mobilized to go to the Uchiha clan to participate in the extermination operation.
With Itachi's strength, he faced absolutely no obstacle in the Sarutobi clan.
Outside.
Sarutobi Hiruzen peered through the fiery red barrier, dumbfounded.
Is that... Itachi?
Wasn't Itachi sent to exterminate the Uchiha?
Why did he come to the Sarutobi clan to exterminate them?
"Itachi, stop!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen roared furiously.
He quickly used ninjutsu, and began to attack the Uchiha flame formation.
No matter what had happened, he had to stop Itachi.
Boom!
Fire dragons and earth dragons collided with the Uchiha flame formation.
The fiery red barrier shook twice, but it did not break.
This was a Uchiha flame formation jointly formed by the entire police force, and naturally it wasn't easy to break.
If Sarutobi Hiruzen was given some time, he would naturally be able to break the barrier and rush in to stop Itachi.
But!
How could Yuta give him that chance?
Yuta controlled the Susanoo to slash Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Boom!
Sarutobi Hiruzen dodged the sword dangerously and narrowly. He quickly pulled back.
"How about it? Are you satisfied with my second gift?"
Yuta said with joy on his face.
Sarutobi Hiruzen understood what was going on in an instant.
He pointed at Yuta, and his body trembled.
"You lunatic! You actually controlled Itachi to destroy my Sarutobi clan?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered Itachi to destroy the Uchiha clan.
In return, Yuta controlled Itachi to destroy the Sarutobi clan.
Suddenly!
Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Itachi walk into a familiar residence in the fiery red barrier.
That's his own home!
His recently deceased eldest son, Sarutobi Shinnosuke's youngest son Konohamaru was now at home.
"Stop! Konohamaru is innocent!"
The veins in Sarutobi Hiruzen's forehead bulged, and he rushed up frantically, trying to rush in to stop Itachi.
However!
At this time, the Susanoo slashed without hesitation.
"You... isn't your target me? Why do you want to affect innocent people?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were blood red, and he growled angrily.
"Did you not consider this kind of thing when you ordered the massacre of the Uchiha clan?"
Yuta had no sympathy at all.
"Isn't this an order from your Hokage to let Uchiha Itachi exterminate his clan, including his parents?"
"You say the Sarutobi clan is innocent. Have you ever considered whether the Uchiha clan is innocent?"
"I told you before that I would let you experience what you did to the Uchiha clan."
"Don't you want to destroy the Uchiha clan? Then, I'll let you see your own clan being destroyed today."
Sarutobi Hiruzen usually behaves like a kind old grandpa, and even goes to accompany Naruto to grill fish by the river.
But when he ordered the genocide of the Uchiha, his heart was harder than anyone else.
But even so, that idiot Itachi still believed that Sarutobi Hiruzen was doing all this for Konoha.
It's really the union of a bad guy and an idiot!
