Faking Death Is Uchiha Tradition

Oh?

Dan showed a surprised expression. He really didn't expect that Heaven Path was still capable of action.

Heaven Path stared at Dan expressionlessly and said coldly:

"As you said, I am just a puppet controlled remotely. In that case, let me, the puppet, die with you."

Right after those words.

"Roar!"

The Gedo statue that fell on the ground suddenly stood up and fired dozens of chakra dragons from its mouth, wrapping around the muscular Susanoo's body.

Chi chi chi chi.

These chakra dragons not only devoured Muscle Susanoo's chakra, but also restricted its movements, making it unable to move even with its limbs broken.

"Let's die together, Uchiha Dan!"

Heaven Path shouted hysterically.

Bang!

Before he could finish his words, he was hit in the head by Dan's punch, and his voice suddenly stopped.

After dealing with Heaven Path, Dan raised his head again and found that the dust escape barrier was close at hand.

Atomic Dismantling Jutsu.

This technique is an enhanced version of the original Detachment Of The Primitive World technique. Not only is the attack range and power greatly increased, it is also continuous and can turn all materials in the barrier into an atomic state.

In the original work.

Onoki once used this technique to kill twenty-five Susanoo clones of Madara Uchiha in one strike.

It can be regarded as a ninjutsu at the level of destroying the world.

Because he was held back by Heaven Path and Gedo Statue, he missed the best opportunity to escape. It seemed that he had no way to escape.

However, at this time.

Dan smiled.

He remembered the battle between Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama in the Valley of the End decades ago.

At that time, after the two sides fought for a day and a night, Madara finally seemed to be defeated, but in fact he escaped by feigning death.

There was also the Battle of Kannabi Bridge a few years ago. Uchiha Obito was crushed under a big rock and was thought to be dead by Konoha, but in fact he was also faking his death.

Faking death seems to be a tradition of the Uchiha clan.

​And now.

I also got such an opportunity.

An opportunity for him to withdraw from the whirlpool of the ninja world, hide behind the scenes, or live a peaceful life.

So, just wait quietly.

Until the dust escape barrier with a diameter of 100 meters came to his head.

Buzz buzz.

The Dust Barrier was as dazzling as the midday sun, emitting a strong white light that engulfed the muscular figure of Susanoo.

Under its shroud, Muscular Susanoo let out an unwilling roar, and began to be annihilated inch by inch from the top of his head, turning into atoms.

At this time.

Dan calmly turned his head to look at the edge of Konoha Village, and his eyes fell on the hill in the Uchiha forest where he often watched the sunrise.

The straight-line distance is about five or six kilometers.

The next second.

As the pupil of Dan's right eye suddenly opened wide, a line of bright red and hot blood tears flowed from his eyes.

Heaven Drive, activate.

In the dazzling bright light of Dust escape, he disappeared in an instant.

Almost at the same time, where he was standing, the ground cracked inch by inch and turned into the tiniest atomic dust.

"Roar!"

The Gedo Statue couldn't help but roar in pain while being shrouded by the dust escape barrier, and its huge body was submerged in white light.

Boom.

Like a huge and dazzling white sun, it exploded in the center of Konoha Village.

Countless people covered their eyes with their hands, unable to look directly at the light. There were only deafening explosions echoing in their ears.

A long time.

After the light gradually dissipated, both Konoha ninjas and allied ninjas couldn't wait to look towards the center of the battlefield.

A huge pit with a diameter of a hundred meters appeared there.

There was nothing in the deep pit, only bursts of white smoke rising.

Uchiha Dan, Heaven Path Pain, Susanoo and the Gedo Statue all evaporated from the world, not even a hair was left.

"Huh..."

Onoki panted with a tired look on his face, but his eyes could not conceal his excitement.

He succeeded.

This is a perfect sneak attack.

On the ground.

A full minute passed, when everyone confirmed that there was no more movement in the pit.

"Oh!"

On the side of the ninja alliance, cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami suddenly broke out, soaring into the sky.

"Did you all see it? Master Tsuchikage seized the opportunity and killed Uchiha Dan and Pain at the same time. It was amazing!"

The Iwagakure ninjas were the most excited, and they were all dancing with excitement.

"Long live Lord Onoki!"

Many ninjas from other ninja villages were also chanting Onoki's name.

Ninjas all worship the strong.

Onoki got rid of the two biggest threats to the ninja alliance - Dan and Heaven Path Pain, so he will naturally get the support and praise of the ninjas in every village.

As for the Konoha ninjas, they looked at each other in confusion.

Whether it is Uchiha Dan, Pain, or the ninja coalition headed by Onoki, it can be said that they are all enemies of Konoha.

After a melee, although both Dan and Pain were dead, the situation facing Konoha did not seem to have improved much.

They don't know where this war will eventually go and what the fate of Konoha will be.

Tsunade stared blankly at the big pit in the center of the battlefield.

That guy Uchiha Dan is dead now?

No, it's impossible.

Tsunade frowned and shook her head, not believing that Dan would die so easily.

Especially based on her understanding of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Madara, Obito and his ilk have long had precedents of faking their own deaths.

Only.

She waited for a long time, expecting that Dan would suddenly appear again from somewhere and scare everyone, but...he was nowhere to be seen.

Could it be that he was really dragged down by Heaven Pain and died together?

Thinking of this, Tsunade was stunned.

She has complicated feelings towards Uchiha Dan.

Although the two of them didn't get along for a long time, they experienced a lot of things together, and every thing was unforgettable.

From being strangled with a naked choke when they first met, to having her necklace snatched away by him in the rain, to later she returned to Konoha and raided the mountain cemetery at night with the Uchiha clan;

Later, she participated in the research on Hashirama cells and received a pair of Sharingan as a gift from Dan;

In the end, Tsunade followed Dan and witnessed with her own eyes the process of the Uchiha clan launching a coup and parting with Konoha.

The relationship between her and Dan cannot be called enemies, but they can't be called companions either. They are neither friends nor enemies.

As for "love", that's even more nonsense.

If she had to use one word to describe it, "enemies" might be more appropriate.

Just like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

Now that her enemy is dead, Tsunade should be happy. But for some reason, she felt an inexplicable loss in her heart...

Just when Tsunade was stunned.

Rumble.

There was a sudden movement in the sky above their heads.

Hm?

Including Tsunade, tens of thousands of people looked up at the same time, only to find that it was the Chibaku Tensei, which was rapidly disintegrating.

Click, click.

Large rocks and building ruins fell off the surface of the sphere one after another and fell to the ground.

"Everyone, get out of the way!"

Onoki, who was in the air, channeled his chakra and shouted with great energy.

He just finished speaking.

Boom!

A bolt of blue lightning rushed out from the loose Chibaku Tensei, whizzing to the ground like a meteorite, creating a large crater in the ground.

"It's Lord Raikage!"

The Kumogakure ninja couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw the Fourth Raikage escape from the trap.

But many more people, without bodies as strong as the Fourth Raikage, would have been crushed into pulp by the Chibaku Tensei, leaving their bodies mangled.

Boom boom boom.

The disintegrated Chibaku Tensei turned into countless rubbles, falling from the sky like heavy rain. They were scattered throughout the Konoha Village, causing many casualties.

After a while, there was a lot of uproar.

Onoki was floating in the air, looking at the hole-riddled Konoha below and the exhausted Konoha ninjas. He immediately raised his eyes and shouted:

"The Ninja Alliance forces ! Obey my order, continue the attack, and completely occupy Konoha!"

At this time.

On the side of the ninja alliance, the Kages and jinchūriki of each village were dead and injured, and they were unable to give orders anymore. Onoki, who had just dealt with Dan and Pain, naturally became the only one to talk.

If Konoha is destroyed now, Iwagakure will undoubtedly gain the greatest benefit.

At the call of Onoki.

"Kill!"

The allied ninja forces finally remembered what they were here for, picked up their weapons and attacked the Konoha ninjas.

This is the final attack.

But at this moment.

"Hokage-sama has arrived!"

A loud voice sounded in the center of the battlefield, echoing over Konoha and spreading far away.

Hm?

Hearing the words, Onoki and others followed the sound and saw——

Tap tap tap.

With the crisp sound of a cane, Danzo, wearing a Hokage hat and a pure white Hokage robe, appeared on the battlefield with a cane and was surrounded by two Anbu.

He slowly raised his head, took off his bamboo hat, looked at Onoki in the air, and said in a deep voice:

"In the name of the Fifth Hokage, I request peace talks with the marshal of the ninja alliance."

Peace talks?

Onoki was stunned for a moment, then shook his head disdainfully, and shouted to Danzo on the ground:

"Danzo, it's now this time, do you think Konoha is still qualified to negotiate peace with us?"

In his opinion, Konoha's defeat is a foregone conclusion, and Danzo's desire to cease the war at this time is simply a fantasy.

Extremely ridiculous.

Unexpectedly, Danzo shook his head after hearing Onoki's words and responded helplessly:

"In this case, there is nothing we can do."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the crutch in his hand and stabbed it hard on the ground.

Boom.

Immediately afterwards.

Boom, boom, boom.

Big explosions suddenly occurred in various places in Konoha Village without warning.

Many ninjas were caught off guard and were blown to pieces before they even had time to scream.

For a time, the fire was accompanied by thick smoke, and the sound of the falling building mixed with the wailing of ninjas came from all directions.

Along with the Konoha ninjas and the ninja alliance, thousands of people died in this round of explosions.

And Onoki, who was in mid-air, could see this scene clearly.

He couldn't help being shocked, his eyes widened, and asked Danzo: "You, what on earth did you do?!"

Danzo looked indifferent and said calmly:

"Every corner of Konoha Village has been filled with detonating charms. As long as I move a finger, they will explode together. By then, the entire village will be reduced to a sea of fire, and no one can get out of here."

"Hmph, do you think I will believe it?"

Onoki asked back, obviously thinking that Danzo was bluffing.

Danzo said nothing, just looked not far away, raised his cane again, and poked it towards the ground.

Boom.

There was another violent explosion. Thousands of Iwa ninjas and the Konoha ninjas who were fighting with them were all swallowed up by the flames of the explosion, and no bones were left.

"Stop! Stop it!"

Onoki roared in shock and anger, and finally believed it.

Not only because he saw so many Iwa ninjas being blown up with his own eyes, but also because Danzo, as the Hokage, actually blew up the Konoha ninjas too, which can be said to be a complete disregard for the lives of his own people.

It's so cruel and ruthless.

Such a person can do anything.

"Now, I think we can sit down and have a good talk."

Danzo said calmly, as if everything was under his control.

​In fact.

The development of the situation was much smoother than Danzo imagined.

Because from the beginning, his plan was to let the ninja coalition break through his own defense line and all enter Konoha Village.

Thus.

He can use the detonating talisman network left by Genno to bury the enemy's 40,000-strong army.

Midway.

Pain Six Paths and Uchiha Dan's attacks successively made Danzo, who was hiding in the dark, fearful and dared not show his face.

This group of people had a big melee, and in the end both Pain and Dan were dead, and the Kage-level combat power of the ninja alliance was also reduced.

The main obstacle in front of Danzo was swept away in this way.

I am indeed a man blessed by God.

Danzo couldn't help but have such an idea, strengthened his belief, and then finally made his proud debut as the Fifth Hokage.

At this moment.

Once Danzo detonates the detonating talisman in the village and inside Hokage Rock, Konoha will be completely destroyed.

By the time.

Except for a few strong men such as Onoki and the Fourth Raikage, most people, whether they are the ninja coalition or the Konoha ninjas, are unable to get out alive.

​In this war.

As the party at an absolute disadvantage, Danzo was more willing to accept the end of dying together than to wait for death, and roped in the allied forces of the ninja world to support Konoha.

But Onoki and others would never accept it.

This is Danzo's confidence in proposing negotiations.

Onoki landed on the ground, his face uncertain.

The Fourth Raikage, the Fourth Mizukage, Elder Chiyo of Sunagakure, and others came over one after another to join him.

"We captured several Konoha ninjas. According to them, what Danzo said is true. He became the Hokage by threatening to blow up Konoha."

The Fourth Raikage said solemnly, with a solemn look on his face.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and their expressions were not very good.

Who would have thought.

Danzo, this guy, actually used Konoha's 20,000-strong army as bait to lure the ninja alliance into the urn, intending to catch them all without distinguishing between friend and foe.

What a heart-rending lunatic.

It just happened that he succeeded.

"I think it should be like this..."

"No, we can't compromise!"

"Calm down, arguing won't solve the problem..."

Everyone gathered together, discussed in lowered voices, and finally reached a consensus.

At last.

It was Onoki who took the lead. He walked to a place seven or eight meters away from Danzo and stopped.

"Fifth Hokage, as the representative of the Ninja Alliance, I officially accept your request for negotiation. But the condition is that from now on, there can be no more explosions and deaths."

Onoki's eyes were sharp and he responded to Danzo with a serious face.

"Good."

Danzo readily agreed to this and slowly showed a winner's smile.

Today.

He, as the Fifth Hokage, successfully protected Konoha.
