Obito Uchiha's eyes narrowed, preparing to use his trump card.

"What a pity, I originally intended to save it to deal with Hatake Akira, but you forced it out of my hands!"

Obito Uchiha secretly regretted it, then used his Kamui eye technique to take out a divine artifact of the Uchiha clan from the Kamui dimension.

This divine artifact is none other than the Uchiha Fan!

Clang!

Then, the snow collided with the Uchiha fan in Obito's hand, but it was Kakashi who suffered the loss.

Obito Uchiha held the handle of the fan in his right hand, while his left hand rested on the fan surface.

Subsequently, the power of the Blood Realm Elimination that was not covered by snow was completely absorbed by Uchiha's fan, and then converted into fire-style chakra under the manipulation of Uchiha Obito's left hand.

Uchiha rebounds!

call……!

A large ball of flame erupted from the surface of the Uchiha fan, and Kakashi was thrown away in an instant, with large areas of his skin burned.

"This ability to absorb chakra, freely convert chakra attributes, and reflect it back..."

"That's really a foul!"

Kakashi, who had stopped in his tracks, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his gaze towards the Uchiha fan changing slightly. "I kind of want it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kakashi charged at Obito Uchiha again, while Obito Uchiha, wielding his Uchiha fan, charged at Kakashi as well.

With the Uchiha fan in hand, Obito Uchiha had gained the upper hand.

Even if Kakashi's Bloodstained Elimination Sword Technique is extremely lethal, it is still within the absorption range of the Uchiha Fan.

Furthermore, the more powerful Kakashi's attack and the more chakra he injects, the more severe the damage he suffers when the attack is deflected.

Despite having a lot of equipment bonuses, Kakashi's original major advantage has turned into a minor disadvantage.

However, even though Obito Uchiha seemed to have a slight advantage, he also had his own unspeakable grievances.

He never imagined that Kakashi's regenerative abilities and the amount of chakra within his body would be so abnormal!

After being injured by Uchiha's fan, Kakashi's injuries healed almost instantly, and his chakra was like a vast ocean, remaining exactly as it was at the start of the battle.

This made Obito Uchiha wonder whether Kakashi's surname was Hatake, Senju, or Uzumaki.

Even so, the Senju and Uzumaki clans could not possibly have such a massive amount of chakra!

According to Obito Uchiha's estimation, perhaps only the Sage Mode's physical abilities could compare to Kakashi's at this moment...

In fact, Obito Uchiha was right. Kakashi's current physique is comparable to that of a Sage Body, and even surpasses it in terms of recovery speed.

"If this battle continues, I'll be worn down and killed sooner or later!"

Obito Uchiha gritted his teeth, finally experiencing the same pain that Madara Uchiha had felt when he fought Hashirama Senju.

If Kakashi unleashes a powerful attack, he can withstand it, and the power of Kakashi's ultimate attack should not be underestimated.

In close-quarters combat and taijutsu, even with the Uchiha fan to aid him, Obito Uchiha's stamina and chakra would not be able to keep up with Kakashi's.

This vicious cycle will eventually wear down Obito Uchiha, and he will be the first to succumb to it.

With that thought in mind, Obito Uchiha was already preparing to make a quick getaway.

Fighting and retreating simultaneously, Obito Uchiha quickly escaped the sealing range of the Time-Sealing Technique.

Kakashi also realized that Obito Uchiha wanted to escape.

The problem is, Kakashi is willing but unable to do so, unlike Akira Hatake who has mastered spatial abilities to an unparalleled degree.

Kakashi struggled for a long time to learn the Flying Thunder God Slash, so it was impossible for him to stop Obito Uchiha, who had the Kamui eye technique, from escaping.

As expected, before Kakashi could use the sealing technique Time Seal again, Obito Uchiha, who was prepared, entered the Kamui dimension and disappeared from Kakashi's sight.

"You can run fast!"

Kakashi glared hatefully at the spot where Obito Uchiha had disappeared. "But you escaped. The people you brought with you won't get away!"

Enraged, Kakashi turned around with his sword drawn and disappeared from the spot in a few leaps.

He's going to cause trouble for the other Akatsuki members...

Chapter 303 Hiruzen Sarutobi launches a coup.

Although Kakashi's battle with Obito Uchiha was short-lived, the scale and damage it caused were considerable.

Fortunately, Kushina Uzumaki's delivery room was located outside Konoha Village and not far away; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Has it started yet?"

Despite being at the tail end of his prime, Hiruzen Sarutobi, dressed in his battle suit, still exuded an extremely powerful aura of strength.

"Judging from the sound, it should be."

The White Zetsu clone, who had somehow infiltrated Konoha, answered, then chuckled as it looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, "Can't resist making a move?"

"You already knew, why bother saying so much?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the White Zetsu spore clone and then ignored it, getting up and pushing open the door to leave the room.

"Isn't everyone getting impatient?"

When Hiruzen Sarutobi went out, most of the people standing outside were members of the Sarutobi clan, but there were also some ninjas from other Konoha clans.

These clan ninjas who joined Hiruzen Sarutobi's defection were ninjas from some clans who had been ousted from Konoha's decision-making ranks after Minato Namikaze took office.

They already harbored resentment, and with Hiruzen Sarutobi's encouragement and numerous promises, they ultimately sided with him.

Although the number of people is not large, if they gather together, they will still cause considerable trouble for Konoha.

If you add the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan and Hiruzen Sarutobi, this force is already very powerful.

Furthermore, Hiruzen Sarutobi had somehow become involved with the Akatsuki organization, and even used his influence to secretly bring some Akatsuki members into Konoha.

The combination of White Zetsu and Black Zetsu has already infiltrated Konoha with the help of Hiruzen Sarutobi, and its purpose is naturally Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan.

Black Zetsu's goal of rescuing Kaguya Otsutsuki hinges on the Rinnegan.

You can lose anyone, but you can't easily lose the Rinnegan. You have to know that Black Zetsu has been planning for a thousand years, all for this pair of Rinnegan.

Now that the Rinnegan has fallen into Akira Hatake's hands, Black Zetsu has no choice but to take a risky gamble, attempting to slip through Hiruzen Sarutobi's fingers while he launches his coup.

It has to be said that having an inside man is a good thing. Without Minato Namikaze's help, no one would have discovered that Zetsu had infiltrated Konoha, and neither would Akira Hatake.

The saying "the darkest place is under the lamp" perfectly describes the current situation.

"Everyone!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi cleared his throat and began his mobilization speech: "Since the Fourth Hokage came to power, he has not only distorted the Will of Fire and advocated war, but also eliminated dissidents, causing everyone to suffer many unfair treatments."

"We have come together for a very simple purpose: to correct the mistakes made by the Fourth Generation."

"If the Fourth Hokage recognizes his mistakes in time and corrects them, then since I, Hiruzen Sarutobi, have already abdicated, I will not have any other ideas."

"But if the Fourth Hokage continues to do as he pleases, then for the sake of Konoha's future and the peace of the ninja world, I will have no choice but to resort to special means."

"What I want to tell everyone is that the essence of our operation is justice. Although it may be difficult for some people to understand, I believe that many years later, they will realize how meaningful what we are doing tonight is."

"This operation will inevitably result in some casualties, and I am deeply saddened by that."

"But progress and correction of the times will always be accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice, and the only thing we can do is to try our best to keep these sacrifices within a certain range."

"Of course, this includes me, you, and everyone in Konoha Village."

"Some people may think this is unjust, but what is justice?"

"Is it advocating war? Or eliminating dissidents? Or is it condoning Orochimaru's evil experiments?"

"If we can't even be considered justice, then what are the Fourth Hokage and the others?"

"Therefore... who else but me!"

"For the future of Konoha, I urge you all to join me in thoroughly correcting all the mistakes made by the Fourth Hokage!"

"Together!"

"Together!"

"Together!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's high-sounding words not only provided a good reason for the rebellion, but also stirred up the emotions of those involved.

The shouts carried far, but Hiruzen Sarutobi did not stop them.

It's not that I don't want to keep hiding it, it's that I simply can't hide it anymore!

With so many people gathered at the Sarutobi clan's residence, anyone with a brain knows what's going on.

However, due to the Akatsuki organization's interference, Akira Hatake's disguise, and Minato Namikaze's need to take care of Kushina Uzumaki's childbirth, the situation became complicated.

A series of events intertwined, giving Hiruzen Sarutobi an excellent opportunity.

While it is said that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, sometimes the "opportunities" that are out in the open may be bait laid by a shrewd hunter.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi had some suspicions, if he didn't try now, he would lose the chance to try again in the future.

Rather than being left to grow old on the margins, it's better to fight while your fighting power is still at its peak.

Moreover, Hiruzen Sarutobi had calculated that his chances of successfully launching this coup were at least 50%.

With a success rate of only 50%, it's already worth the gamble for Hiruzen Sarutobi.

With a mere gesture of raising his hand, the ninjas who were already prepared fell silent, and a chilling aura began to permeate the entire area.

These ninjas who participated in the coup were all battle-hardened veterans. Their strengths may vary, but their killing intent was roughly the same.

"Everyone, let's do a final check on all the ninja tools we're carrying."

When Hiruzen Sarutobi issued another command, he waited for about half a minute and, seeing no response, finally perked up.

With a wave of his hand and pointing his right hand toward the Hokage Building, he declared, "Gentlemen, follow me and march toward the Hokage Building!"

……

"I can't believe this actually happened!"

Standing in the Hokage's office, Nara Shikaku, although he had long known that Hiruzen Sarutobi was going to launch a coup, did not take it to heart at the time.
