Although Madara Uchiha was used as a pawn by Black Zetsu, it is undeniable that Madara's strategic planning skills were still outstanding.
Given the numerous contingency plans he left behind, if it weren't for Akira Hatake's foresight, he might have actually capsized in a ditch.
"Is there a seal around my heart?"
Obito Uchiha stepped forward, placing one hand over his heart, wanting to feel whether the truth was as Akira Hatake had said.
After observing for a while, Obito Uchiha didn't notice anything amiss.
"Alright, take your hand off."
Akira Hatake said impatiently, "With your half-baked sealing techniques, you're still a bit short of being able to sense the sealing techniques that Madara Uchiha placed on you."
Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha pursed his lips but didn't say anything, though he still obediently lowered his hand from his chest.
Seeing that Obito Uchiha had lowered his hand, Akira Hatake did not linger any longer. He opened his eyes and suddenly flicked out his right palm.
"what……!"
Standing to the side, Nohara Rin gasped in surprise, but then quickly covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming.
It turned out that Akira Hatake had formed a sword with his fingers and plunged it into Obito Uchiha's chest.
The moment he was attacked, Obito Uchiha instinctively tried to retaliate against Akira Hatake, but he was stopped by a single look from Akira.
"The sealing technique used by Madara Uchiha is very sophisticated; it is a passively triggered sealing technique."
"Passively triggered?"
"Yes, this type of sealing technique only reveals itself when certain conditions are met, which is why it is hidden so deeply that you cannot detect it at all."
Akira Hatake explained that the fingers inserted into Obito Uchiha's chest had also touched Obito's heart.
Obito Uchiha frowned, feeling a discomfort in his heart.
It felt like someone was choking you, and your life and death were in someone else's hands—that kind of uneasy feeling.
But Akira Hatake clearly had no time to pay attention to these things. A faint light suddenly shone from his fingertips, and a complex sealing technique was imprinted on Obito Uchiha's heart.
After doing all this, Akira Hatake withdrew his hand, while Obito Uchiha's chest injury was rapidly healing.
The speed of healing made Nohara Rin, who was about to step forward to help Obito Uchiha, pause for a moment, and she could only awkwardly withdraw her hands that had just been emitting the light of the Healing Palm Technique.
Seeing this, Obito Uchiha smiled gently at Rin Nohara, and then looked at Akira Hatake.
"Is this good?"
"Of course not, I just added another sealing spell to you."
"You..." Obito Uchiha's breathing became rapid, "Akira Hatake, are you even capable?"
"Don't question my judgment and methods." Akira Hatake pointed to Obito Uchiha's chest, which had completely healed. "If this kind of passively triggered sealing technique is abruptly released, the caster can immediately sense it."
"To avoid being exposed, I can only add a new sealing technique to the existing sealing technique to limit the original seal."
"It's not hard to understand, but is it really useful for you to do this?" Obito Uchiha asked with some doubt.
"Don't worry, my sealing technique was taught by my master Kushina, there won't be any problems."
"In that case, let's leave it at that for now."
Obito Uchiha didn't waste any more time on this matter with Akira Hatake, and instead inquired about Akira's plans.
"My plan is simple."
Akira Hatake began with a simple explanation: "You pretended to kill me to put Black Zetsu at ease, and then you used the excuse that you were seriously injured and no match for Minato-sensei to try to leave Konoha with the Akatsuki."
"As long as your acting is realistic, Black Zetsu will have no reason not to believe it."
"Once Black Zetsu believes it, he will infiltrate the Uchiha clan's secret chamber with White Zetsu and steal Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan."
"As long as Black Zetsu steps into the Uchiha clan's secret chamber, I am confident that I can capture him and seal him away."
“I understand.” Obito Uchiha nodded, then raised another question, “However, there is a loophole. If I don’t bring back something substantial, Black Zetsu will find it hard to believe me, given his personality.”
"I've already prepared it for you."
Akira Hatake snapped his fingers, and the Sharingan activated again, compressing and shortening the space in front of him.
With a swift reach, Akira Hatake, a clone of himself located in Orochimaru's experimental base, was seized by him.
"This is……"
Looking at the clone that Hatake Akira had thrown on the ground, Obito Uchiha asked in surprise, "This was made by Orochimaru?"
"Besides him, there is no one else in the entire ninja world."
Akira Hatake nodded, then pointed to the clone lying on the ground, "This clone looks exactly like me. If it doesn't participate in the battle, it can be completely mistaken for the real thing. Black Zetsu will definitely not suspect anything."
"You're really something, Akira!" Obito Uchiha couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Alright, everything is ready except for the final touch. The rest is up to you."
"Don't worry." Obito Uchiha nodded, then activated Kamui, absorbing Akira Hatake's clone into the Kamui dimension.
However, Obito Uchiha, who was thinking of entering the Kamui dimension as well, suddenly stopped.
"Ming, can I bring Lin with me?"
“You should ask yourself, ask Rin, not me.” Akira Hatake shrugged, knowing when to say what.
"Then I'll leave Lin in your care, Ming!"
After some thought, Obito Uchiha decided to abandon the idea of absorbing Rin Nohara into the Kamui dimension.
After entrusting Nohara Rin to Hatake Akira, Uchiha Obito took a deep look at Nohara Rin before stepping into the Kamui dimension.
……
The scene changes.
The battle between Orochimaru's three bloodline clones and Hiruzen Sarutobi has reached a fever pitch.
However, unlike before, this time it was Orochimaru's three bloodline clones who were overpowering Hiruzen Sarutobi.
If nothing unexpected happens, Hiruzen Sarutobi is not far from his death...
As expected, when Orochimaru's Uchiha clan bloodline clone activated Susanoo, Hiruzen Sarutobi had lost all form of advantage.
Despite having a large-scale composite ninjutsu, Hiruzen Sarutobi can still pose a significant threat to Susanoo, but don't forget that Orochimaru has two other clones supporting him from the side.
Because Orochimaru's soul was split into three, the coordination between these three bloodline clones was unparalleled, even surpassing that of Akira Hatake and Kakashi.
The Uchiha bloodline clones are the main attackers, the Hyuga bloodline clones are the main supporters, and the Uzumaki bloodline clones are the main attackers and supporters – it's practically the personnel configuration of a Kage-level team.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi could withstand that, then it would truly be a miracle.
"Teacher, you've lost!"
Three bloodline clones stood inside the Susanoo's belly. The third-stage, half-body Susanoo had already grabbed Hiruzen Sarutobi in its hand. "Any last words?"
"Orochimaru, I never expected you to have grown to this level."
Blood trickled from the corner of Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth, and his body was tattered and torn, making him look so pitiful that it was unbearable to look at.
“Teacher, there are too many things you haven’t considered…” Susanoo’s large hand clenched tighter. “Time waits for no one.”
"I have only one request... no, I'm asking for something."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was ashen. "It all started because of me. After I die, all of this should naturally end. But those who followed me are unaware of this. Let them go."
"Teacher, should I say you are truly kind, or just pretending to be compassionate?"
Orochimaru shook his head. "I can't make those decisions, but your request will be very difficult to fulfill."
"Just do your best."
Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes. "Orochimaru, make your move!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tear slid down Orochimaru's cheek, and then he manipulated Susanoo to crush Hiruzen Sarutobi in his palm.
"it's over……"
Orochimaru withdrew Susanoo, looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi lying on the ground, and said with a sigh, "The old era has ended, and the new era has begun."
"Sandaime..."
Nara Shikaku, inside the Hokage Building, naturally noticed the scene of Hiruzen Sarutobi's death not far away, and a trace of grief flashed across his face.
But then, the grief faded, replaced by determination.
"Inoichi, spread the word that Hiruzen Sarutobi has been killed. All the ninjas who participated in the rebellion must either resist and be surrounded and annihilated, or give up resistance and surrender on the spot."
"understand!"
After responding, Yamanaka Inoichi used the Mind Transfer Technique, through the device he wore on his head, to transmit the message to the ninjas of the Konoha garrison.
"The Third Hokage has been executed; those who surrender will not be killed!"
"The Third Hokage has been executed; those who surrender will not be killed!"
"The Third Hokage has been executed; those who surrender will not be killed!"
The morale of the Konoha garrison soared, and their unified shouts shook the heavens and the earth. As soon as the sound was heard, the ninjas involved in this rebellion were thrown into chaos.
Without Hiruzen Sarutobi as their leader, their rebellion naturally lost its meaning.
Most of them immediately surrendered, but a small number of rebel ninjas still resisted stubbornly.
Because they knew that even if surrendering would save their lives, their future would definitely be difficult.
Rather than spending the rest of their lives in frustration and unfulfilled ambitions, they might as well fight to the death now.
"Give the order to completely annihilate all the rebellious ninjas who are still putting up a stubborn resistance, leave no one alive!"
Nara Shikaku, who was overseeing the entire operation from the Hokage Building, issued another order, this time with a strong killing intent.
"understand!"
Yamanaka Inoichi relayed the order to every Konoha garrison ninja once again, and a one-sided massacre ensued.
In less than fifteen minutes, the coup led by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was completely thwarted, and the last rebellious ninja who refused to surrender was executed.
Thus, this bloody farce came to an end. Obito Uchiha emerged from the Kamui dimension, tossing the clone of Akira Hatake's body to the ground. Obito, his face weak and contorted in pain, cried out, "Zetsu, Akira Hatake was hiding his true strength!" "Zetsu, gather the remaining Akatsuki members. Let's leave Konoha first!"
Black Zetsu glanced at the clone of Akira Hatake lying on the ground, and a terrifying smile appeared on his mouth full of sharp teeth.
"The Akatsuki members will be summoned later." He pointed in the direction of the Uchiha headquarters. "Obito, come with me to get something first."
