Chapter 69: The Third Hokage: Uchiha Akira's Intentions Towards Me
🕑 Added 2024-08-17 09:42:17 +0000 UTCThe Eight Gates Formation is a forbidden jutsu that places a tremendous burden on the body, making prolonged combat impossible!
Now, after being poisoned by the Aburame clan, Uchiha Akira is determined to end this battle quickly!
With the fight reaching this point, Uchiha Akira’s killing intent towards Danzo has peaked.
Even if the Third Hokage himself tried to intervene, he wouldn’t be able to stop him!
With lightning-fast movement, Uchiha Akira easily dodged the Third Hokage's attacks and once again closed in on Danzo!
Seeing Danzo’s arm already gone, and his appearance utterly wretched, Uchiha Akira felt no mercy—if anything, he felt an exhilarating satisfaction.
Then, he raised his arm and brought it down on Danzo with all his might!
“No!” the Third Hokage shouted at the top of his lungs.
Boom!
The terrifying force of the punch made the entire ground tremble violently, as if a magnitude ten earthquake had struck.
Crash!
The devastating blow kicked up a massive cloud of dust and debris!
It took a long time for the dust to settle, revealing a massive crater in the ground, almost like a newly formed basin!
As for Danzo?
His remains were scattered everywhere—completely pulverized and scattered across the battlefield...
“Uchiha Akira!”
The Third Hokage was both shocked and furious as he witnessed the power of Uchiha Akira’s punch.
No matter what, Danzo was Konoha’s second-in-command, yet today, he was killed right before his eyes?
The Third Hokage was naturally filled with rage!
But when he shouted at Uchiha Akira, Akira turned his head slightly and a thought crossed his mind.
Now that Danzo was dead, killed by his own hand...
What if, in this moment, he also took out the Third Hokage? Would anyone in Konoha’s leadership be able to stand against the Uchiha clan?
The thought, once it appeared, spread like wildfire in Uchiha Akira’s mind!
Indeed, the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha’s leadership had reached an irreconcilable point!
That’s why, in the original timeline, Uchiha Itachi took such drastic measures to preserve the village's peace by exterminating his own clan!
But on the flip side, what if he could eliminate both Danzo and the Third Hokage? Wouldn’t that also resolve the conflict?
And compared to wiping out the entire Uchiha clan, wouldn’t it be simpler to just eliminate Danzo, the Third Hokage, and maybe throw in Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado—the so-called "Konoha F4"—for good measure?
Killing just these four people could put an end to the strife between Konoha and the Uchiha.
Doesn’t that seem like a much better deal?
Shiver!
Originally, the Third Hokage was furious, about to reprimand Uchiha Akira for killing Danzo despite his attempts to stop him.
But now, seeing Uchiha Akira turn and lock eyes with him—those eyes that seemed to belong to a beast ready to pounce—the Third Hokage suddenly felt as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been dumped over him, instantly cooling his rage.
Regret began to creep into his heart.
He never expected Uchiha Akira to harbor killing intent towards him as well!
The Uchiha are inherently evil!
For some reason, at this moment, the Third Hokage’s mind echoed with Danzo’s long-held belief about the Uchiha.
And now, the Third Hokage couldn’t agree more!
After all, in Konoha, he had crafted an image of himself as a perfectly righteous leader!
But Uchiha Akira still wanted to kill him? How evil could he be!?
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Just as Uchiha Akira was contemplating whether to strike, several figures appeared, each one donning a mask—members of the Third Hokage’s Anbu.
Even Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy had arrived.
Clearly, Uchiha Akira’s battle, especially after opening the Seventh Gate, had alerted the entire village.
Ninja from all over Konoha had rushed to the scene!
Sigh...
Seeing that even Might Guy had arrived, Uchiha Akira sighed inwardly.
This lineup was something even the Seventh Gate couldn’t handle!
If he truly insisted on taking down the Hokage, Might Guy would undoubtedly open the Eighth Gate to stop him!
“You’re just in time. Uchiha Akira has attacked and killed Elder Danzo. Capture him immediately!”
Seeing more and more Anbu and ninja arrive, the Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief before issuing his command.
“Wait!”
But just then, another voice rang out!
Soon after, several more figures appeared, gradually surrounding Uchiha Akira.
At the forefront was none other than Uchiha Fugaku...
