**Chapter 62: The Last Dance of the Uchiha**

Obito shivered instinctively under Raijin's gaze.

Such a dangerous look…

What kind of evil scheme is this guy up to now?

Remembering the last time he met Raijin, all he did was stare at his Mangekyō Sharingan.

Could it be that this guy didn't awaken his own Mangekyō?

So, he's just fixated on Raijin's?

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Explosions continued to reverberate, and fires could be seen all over the village.

A slight smile returned to Obito Uchiha's face.

At least Raijin's people are still causing havoc in Konoha.

"Uchiha Raijin, if you surrender today, the Uchiha clan won't suffer any consequences."

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke with confidence, his voice loud and clear.

The Uchiha clan members must have been intercepted by Danzo.

Breaking through the forces of both the ANBU and the Root is a pipe dream for those guys. Once I deal with these two troublesome opponents in front of me…

When I return, I'll make sure they all understand the consequences of rebelling against Konoha.

"Third Hokage! This is not the time to pretend to be noble."

"I know exactly what kind of person you are. After tonight, I fear the Uchiha clan will be erased."

Raijin sneered, piercing through Hiruzen Sarutobi's hypocritical facade.

At least Danzo is straightforward.

If he says he's going to kill you, he'll kill you without hesitation.

But Sarutobi…

He'll reassure you with comforting words on the surface, only to have you killed behind your back.

No wonder he has managed to lead Konoha for so many years.

He's become quite the sly old fox.

"Hmph!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi snorted coldly, not bothering to deny it, standing still without making any rash moves.

After all, the two Uchiha in front of him were proving difficult to handle, to be honest.

The mysterious masked man was already a handful.

Adding Uchiha Raijin to the mix, he'd likely be defeated here.

But fortunately!

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced over at the Nine-Tails and saw Jiraiya preparing to enter Sage Mode.

The only one he could rely on now was Jiraiya. If Jiraiya entered Sage Mode…

Although he wasn't as powerful as the First Hokage, he likely wouldn't be far off in handling these opponents.

Raijin also noticed Hiruzen Sarutobi's glance.

Facing off against Sage Mode wasn't something Raijin was confident about.

Sage Mode significantly amplifies ninjutsu, chakra, and various abilities.

Raijin had never encountered it before, so he wasn't sure how much it would boost everything in the end.

He needed to find time to see if he could steal a snake that knew Sage Mode from Ryūchi Cave.

"Boom!"

At this moment, below the Hokage Rock, a fiery dragon shot up from the Hokage Building.

The firelight illuminated the sky as countless bricks and stones fell.

The next moment, several shinobi quickly rushed out from the wreckage.

"Boom!"

**But It Wasn't Over Yet.**

The explosions didn't stop.

The explosive tags placed throughout the Hokage Building were triggered.

Under everyone's shocked gaze!

The Hokage Building collapsed with a thunderous crash.

Smoke filled the air, lingering for a long time without dissipating.

"Swish!"

Several figures that had rushed out of the Hokage Building now spotted Uchiha Raijin!

Without hesitation, they charged towards him!

"Uchiha Setsuna?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart trembled in fear. This old guy from the Uchiha clan…

Who would have thought that at this critical moment, he'd blow up Konoha's Hokage Building?

And he even brought a group of men with him.

Damn it!

Where's Danzo?!

Help me out here.

What the hell is that bastard doing?

The Uchiha clan is wreaking havoc outside right now.

"Swish!"

But fortunately, it seemed like Konoha's ANBU had noticed what was happening here.

A large group of Jonin were now rushing to this location.

At least he wouldn't be left alone to be beaten up by these people.

"Lord Raijin, this is the Scroll of Seals!"

Uchiha Setsuna handed the massive scroll he had been carrying on his back to Raijin.

Raijin narrowed his eyes and looked at Uchiha Setsuna.

One of his eyes had turned white.

So, he used Izanagi.

It seems that Uchiha Setsuna's mission didn't go perfectly this time.

And he brought out over ten people, but only a few made it back.

"Well done! You've contributed greatly to the rise of the Uchiha clan."

Raijin took the Scroll of Seals without opening it, immediately using Kamui to send it away.

From a distance, Obito narrowed his eyes. Uchiha Raijin had also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan?

But the ability…

It looks strangely familiar.

Why does it seem somewhat similar to his?

"The Scroll of Seals… Was this your goal, Uchiha Raijin?"

"But you probably won't be able to get it out of Konoha."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, surrounded by dozens of Jonin, spoke confidently.

Members from various clans were present, though the quality varied.

Each one was ready to form hand seals, waiting for Hiruzen's command.

"Elder Setsuna, I'm afraid you'll have to make one final sacrifice for the Uchiha clan."

"You and Obito will cover our retreat."

Raijin ignored Hiruzen Sarutobi and spoke directly to Uchiha Setsuna.

Immediately!

Obito's face darkened; this guy was completely disregarding their agreement.

He outright exposed Obito's identity.

"Obito, are you okay with this? I'll take Kakashi with me, and when I return, he can come to find you."

"Now, help me one last time, hold off the Third Hokage and cover my retreat."

Raijin deliberately revealed Obito's identity.

This guy isn't a good person.

How could I let him keep pretending?

"Fine, the future of the Uchiha clan is in your hands, Raijin!"

Uchiha Setsuna showed no expression.

The men he brought with him this time were all old comrades.

They had long been prepared to die.

He, too, had accepted his fate.

It's a pity that he wouldn't get to witness the Uchiha clan's resurgence.

But…

The name Uchiha Obito…

It reminded him of a name that used to circulate among the older women of the Uchiha clan.

A fool of the Uchiha clan, with no talent, always boasting.

But who would have thought that he'd end up being the mastermind?

And even awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan!

The Uchiha clan really does have limitless potential.

"Obito? That child from Minato's team, who was with Kakashi?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly connected the dots to Uchiha Obito's identity.

His eyes filled with murderous intent!

But there were too many enemies now, and he couldn't focus on Uchiha Obito.

"Don't let Uchiha Raijin escape."

Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered.

But he saw Uchiha Raijin start to fade as he entered the Kamui dimension.

In the blink of an eye, he was gone, and his chakra vanished as well.

All that remained were Uchiha Setsuna and the others who had resolved to fight to the death.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you never imagined Konoha would suffer such a fate, did you?"

"The Uchiha clan won't continue to be restrained by you disgusting people."

"Now is the time for the Uchiha clan to fly freely."

Uchiha Setsuna spoke passionately, drawing a kunai and charging at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After a long battle, his chakra was nearly depleted.

His vision was already blurred from repeatedly using the Mangekyō Sharingan.

This was the last dance for the old generation of the Uchiha clan.

"Hmph! Konoha, remember this!"

Obito took the opportunity to enter the Kamui dimension as well, deciding not to meddle in Konoha any longer.

This time, he had lost everything: his Ember Fan, his dignity by working for Raijin, and even his identity had been exposed.

He didn't know how he would survive this difficult period.
