"Boom!"
A violent roar reverberated throughout Konoha, the intense explosion instantly awakening countless civilians.
Civilians aren't ninjas, they don't possess the same strong sensory abilities as other ninjas, and thus the previous explosion didn't cause them to react.
But this time was different, the violent roar directly awakened them all.
Only then did they notice that an unimaginable surge of energy had erupted not far from the Hokage Rock beneath the Hokage Tower.
An incredibly hot aura was emanating from that place, even many people's home windows were completely shattered!
"What on earth is happening? Has someone attacked the Hokage?"
Many were asking themselves, even more civilians were filled with worry, and those ninjas who had originally chosen not to take action, at this moment, were all mobilized.
They quickly prepared their equipment and then hurried towards the Hokage Rock. In an instant, all of Konoha seemed incredibly bustling and hurried.
"Has it already begun, and reached this extent?"
Uchiha Fugaku, who was not far from the Hokage Tower, felt the terrifying impact force, and his brows couldn't help but furrow deeply.
He fully supported Kaito's intention to settle accounts with Danzo. Even after pondering along the way and obtaining what seemed to be a reliable answer,
He even thought that if Kaito requested their clan to gather together to take down Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, he would support it!
However, Uchiha Fugaku was relatively calm. He knew that taking out Danzo and taking out the Hokage were two different concepts - his family couldn't possibly go against all of Konoha.
"Uncle, what's going on? Isn't that where Grandpa Hokage works?"
Naruto was looking at the flames in the distance, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.
He was originally sleeping at home, but he was woken up and saw this uncle in front of him.
At first, Naruto was somewhat scared, but when he noticed the warmth and pity in this uncle's eyes looking at him, he stopped being scared.
In his heart, he almost immediately concluded that this uncle was not a bad person!
Indeed, when this uncle told him his name was Uchiha, he could immediately confirm that this uncle was a good person.
Naruto had always been a person who knew how to be grateful, he never forgot the gentle-faced older brother from a few months ago.
That older brother, who didn't act strange at all, asked him a weird question, treated him to a bowl of ramen, and also had the name Uchiha!
Afterwards, when he returned to class, he asked Sasuke about it, because Sasuke's name also had the surname Uchiha, but Sasuke's answer left him somewhat disappointed.
Because Sasuke said he wasn't familiar with this Uchiha Kaito older brother. Even though they were family, their family was really big, and not everyone would know each other well.
But regardless, Naruto firmly remembered the name Uchiha Kaito.
And also because of this name, as well as the attitude of this uncle in front of him, Naruto chose to trust this uncle and voluntarily followed him out the door.
Even though he knew nothing, he was willing to do so, which filled Uchiha Fugaku's heart with guilt.
"No, that's not the Hokage Building, but a place behind it where the decay and corruption of Konoha have taken root."
Uchiha Fugaku gently shook his head. He took a deep breath to adjust his emotions, and then smiled at Naruto.
"I'm going to speed up, Naruto-kun. Please bear with it for a while."
"Okay, I got it, Uncle!"
This courteous manner really moved Naruto, he nodded vigorously and replied.
His attitude made Uchiha Fugaku sigh deeply in his heart. He swore that he would find a way to look after this child in the future.
To take care of the son of the Fourth Hokage, to take care of the son of his wife's best friend.
Rushing all the way, when they arrived at their destination, Uchiha Fugaku was suddenly stunned...
...
"It seems that the Uchiha clan is really determined this time."
Not far from the scene, the members of the Ino-Shika-Chō trio, representing three families, felt the terrifying tremors. Nara Shikaku couldn't help but sigh.
They all knew the strength of the Uchiha clan, but how strong they were exactly was beyond their comprehension.
After all, they knew about the power of Uchiha Madara from the notes of their family ancestors. The current Uchiha could not possibly exhibit such power.
"However, one thing is certain. The Uchiha didn't attack the Hokage, their purpose is very clear."
Akimichi Chōza nodded, then looked carefully in the direction before speaking.
"Indeed, even though we don't know exactly what happened, considering the intelligence I had previously received and the explosion that occurred at the Uchiha residence, it's not likely to be something good. These Uchiha members have come to settle scores with Danzō."
Nara Shikaku chuckled, then continued speaking.
"Let's go and take a look. Since it's not trouble concerning the Hokage, we don't need to fight."
Having said that, Nara Shikaku started to walk slowly towards the scene, appearing relaxed.
And just as he thought, he really didn't plan to fight, as long as the Uchiha did not attack the Hokage!
As for Danzō, there's nobody in Konoha who likes this guy, and this is especially true for the Ino-Shika-Chō trio.
However, when they arrived at the scene, they, along with all the clan members accompanying them, were stunned...
...
"Danzō, you must hold on."
After changing into his combat attire, Hiruzen Sarutobi led the Anbu who remained at the Hokage's office into action.
Preparing manpower takes time, especially when he couldn't gauge the extent of the Uchiha's rage.
Also, he couldn't be sure if these Uchiha still retained any sense of reason, hence he wasn't allowed to act independently according to Anbu rules.
The preparation time didn't take long, but the intense vibrations and shocks did delay their departure.
Fortunately, this situation didn't last long, and being ninjas, they wouldn't be deterred by minor obstructions.
Right now, Hiruzen was genuinely worried about Danzō's situation. Likewise, he was concerned about the extent of exposure this incident might have.
With a heavy heart, he and the rest of the Anbu quickly arrived at the scene. But his expression completely changed the next moment!
In the mid-air, under the silver moonlight, a giant blue torso stood high.
This giant had no armor, but there was a chakra blade in his hand. Under the moonlight, the giant looked like an Asura.
"Susano'o..."
Hiruzen's pupils dilated instantly, he recognized this jutsu, and in his mind appeared the figure of the person who once used this technique!
That person who once cast the whole of Konoha in fear, that person who nearly matched the First Hokage.
The next moment, the giant moved, lifting the shinobi blade. The person controlling everything from within the giant spoke indifferently.
"I am Uchiha Kaito, I am also the blade of the Uchiha. Brace yourselves for your destined demise."
Suddenly, the Asura-like giant descended like a bird from the sky, a terrifying wind-blade bloomed instantaneously with the swing of the shinobi blade!
"Stop!"
Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi roared desperately.
However, accompanied by a cold snort, the giant shinobi blade still firmly fell...
