Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Give Me Your All
Upon hearing that Uchiha Mirai intended to arrest him and send him to the police squad, Hiruzen Sarutobi almost coughed up blood.
That young Uchiha is truly reckless.
He, the Hokage himself, being detained by the police squad—he would surely become the laughingstock of the entire ninja world?
Just like Fugaku Uchiha once did...
No!
Absolutely not!
The moment such a horrifying image appeared in his mind, sweat began trickling down Hiruzen's forehead.
There was no way he would ever allow such a thing to happen.
"Uchiha Mirai, today I'll show you what it means to be the Sage of Shinobi!"
Hiruzen threw aside his Hokage hat and ceremonial robe, revealing his lean yet agile body.
A powerful aura rose from him, spreading an immense pressure across the area.
Throughout his decades-long reign over Konoha, he hadn't relied merely on words.
Seeing this, Uchiha Mirai raised a hand without looking. "Step back. If you get caught in the crossfire, don't blame me."
Hearing these words, everyone present felt a wave of relief wash over them.
They had worried that Uchiha Mirai might make them oppose Hiruzen.
After retreating a few hundred meters, Shikaku Nara, Shibi Aburame, Tsume Inuzuka, and the rest gradually grew excited.
A battle between Uchiha Mirai and the Third Hokage...
Such a battle was a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle!
They definitely needed to observe carefully.
At Hiruzen's command, the Anbu also withdrew several hundred meters, leaving enough space for the clash between Mirai and Hiruzen.
As for Koharu Utatane...
She had already vanished along with all her clan members the moment Hiruzen started speaking.
Adjusting his breathing, Hiruzen's chakra within his body started surging.
Those earlier words had bought him the opportunity to face off one-on-one with Uchiha Mirai.
This was already the best possible outcome.
With no retreat left, he had no choice but to go all out!
Activating the summoning scroll he carried, two massive shuriken appeared in Hiruzen's hands.
In the next second, he charged straight toward Uchiha Mirai.
Hands forming hand seals, Hiruzen called out, [Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!]
The two enormous shuriken began multiplying rapidly, instantly splitting into dozens.
Uchiha Mirai gave a light snort as golden sand poured out from the gourd at his waist.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
...
The large shuriken struck the golden sand, producing dull thuds before crashing heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly formed hand seals. "Fire Release: Fire dragon flame bullet!"
A torrent of flames, like a raging fire dragon, roared toward Mirai Uchiha.
Boom!
The explosion completely engulfed Mirai's body.
Without missing a beat, Hiruzen continued forming seals. "Earth Release: Earth-and-Stone Dragon!"
A massive earthen dragon charged forward through the flames.
[Lightning Release: Rolling Thunder Strike!]
[Water Release: Water Severing Slash!]
[Wind Release: Wind Blade!]
Without pause, he unleashed all five chakra natures one after another, completely obliterating the spot where Mirai had stood.
Hiashi Hyuga, Shibi Aburame, and others all wore expressions of shock on their faces.
No wonder he's called the "Professor of Ninjutsu"—the Third Hokage truly commands all five chakra natures effortlessly.
After a while, Hiruzen paused slightly, out of breath, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Mirai now completely encased in crimson skeletal armor.
All of that just now… was blocked completely?!
So this is Susanoo?
"Third Hokage, are you playing house with me?"
Or is it… this is actually the limit of your strength?"
Staring into those blood-red Mangekyo Sharingan eyes, Hiruzen clenched his teeth. "That was merely a warm-up."
As his words fell, Hiruzen once again began rapidly forming seals. [Shadow Clone Jutsu!]
Creating a shadow clone, both Hiruzen's original body and his clone simultaneously formed hand seals. [Combined Technique: Infernal Stone Dragon Torrent!]
Combining Earth and Fire Release techniques, a gigantic flaming earth dragon crashed straight into Mirai's Susanoo.
Immediately afterward, Hiruzen gathered chakra within himself again. [Combined Technique: Tempestuous Storm Dragon Blast!]
A water dragon created from Lightning and Water Releases roared forward toward Mirai.
These two powerful combined techniques caused the ground itself to tremble slightly.
Panting heavily, Hiruzen anxiously stared forward at the clearing obscured by smoke and dust.
Surely this time will have some effect?
Gradually, the violent energy waves and rising smoke began to dissipate, revealing Mirai's figure once more.
Crack...
A faint sound reached everyone's ears, followed by countless cracks spreading across the Susanoo in front of Mirai.
"That attack was actually worth noting," Mirai's mocking voice rang out, a sinister, bone-chilling malevolence surging even more violently, "Then how about this?"
Instantly, the cracks on the Susanoo vanished before it started growing—veins, bones, skin...
In just moments, the previously small protective Susanoo surrounding Mirai expanded into a towering demonic god-like figure dozens of meters high.
Seeing the cold sweat on Hiruzen Sarutobi's forehead, Mirai Uchiha smiled. "Come on, keep amusing me."
"You call yourself the strongest Hokage in history—surely you can do better than this?"
Hearing that, Hiruzen clenched his teeth tightly. "[Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!]"
One shadow clone became four.
Then, Hiruzen bit his finger and slammed his palm onto the ground. "[Summoning Jutsu!]"
Bang!
An ape with white fur appeared before Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Facing the giant Susanoo, Enma's expression turned serious. "Hiruzen, what's going on now?"
Hiruzen shook his head. "Enma, no time to explain."
"Transform!"
At this command, Enma transformed into a golden staff.
Hiruzen focused his chakra, and the golden staff thickened and elongated, carrying both his original body and four shadow clones high into the air dozens of meters up.
Throughout this process, Mirai Uchiha silently watched everything unfold, making no move to intervene at all.
Hiruzen knew this was his opponent intentionally humiliating him, trying to undermine his authority.
Yet it also gave him a chance to strike.
Arrogant people often exposed bigger flaws—that was life experience he'd accumulated over years.
This brat, Mirai Uchiha, would definitely be no exception.
Thinking thus, Hiruzen mobilized all his chakra, simultaneously forming hand seals together with his four shadow clones.
"[Five-Release Great Combining Technique!]"
His ultimate attack poured forth with full effort.
Earth Release, Fire Release, Wind Release, Water Release, Lightning Release!
The five mighty elemental techniques cleverly combined, creating an earth-shattering spectacle.
Even the dozens-of-meters-tall Susanoo was instantly engulfed by the onslaught.
The ground cracked and shattered; everything around was obliterated.
Even the onlookers hundreds of meters away were forced to retreat another few hundred meters.
Violent energy raged for several minutes before finally subsiding.
All of Hiruzen's shadow clones dissipated, while his real body couldn't help but collapse onto the ground, gasping desperately for breath.
The Susanoo reappeared, its massive figure showing some tiny cracks.
A hint of approval flickered across Mirai Uchiha's eyes. "Without any Bloodline Limit, being able to push the Five Releases Ninjutsu to such a level is already quite impressive."
"But..."
Inexplicable ocular power surged even more violently, the Susanoo growing again, towering skyward until reaching hundreds of meters high.
Its immense chakra and ocular power gradually stabilized as the Susanoo transformed into its perfected form—armored, wielding a weapon, and with wings bursting forth from its back.
Standing over Hiruzen Sarutobi, who looked no more than an insect beneath her feet, Mirai Uchiha crossed her arms and spoke coolly, "The Third Hokage, what will you do this time to entertain me?"
