"Your clan... your ancestors once co-founded Konoha with the Senju clan. It's truly pathetic now..."

"But don't worry, although you are bound to die, some people will die before you."

Darui, standing nearby, chimed in, "In that case, at least it's avenged you, right? Even though you're an enemy, I still feel sorry for you."

Samui said in a deep voice, "In my memory, only Kirigakure can achieve this level of skill, even among people from the same village. It's only a matter of time before such a village declines and is destroyed."

The three men's words alerted Terai and his companion.

The next moment, lightning flashed in the dark forest.

Accompanied by screams of terror from the lightning, the sounds began to fill the air.

……

Chapter 378: Collapse

"What do you want to do?!"

An angry shout rang out!

Terai stared intently at the three Cloud Village ninja in front of him: "You are starting a war!"

Another Root member chimed in, "This is a collaboration we agreed upon with the Fourth Raikage. You cannot bear the responsibility for breaking it!"

"Squeak..."

His response was a deafening roar of lightning; his longsword, imbued with lightning chakra, charged forward and slashed down with tremendous force.

"boom."

The root of the kunai, which was blocking the way, was being suppressed; the speed was too fast!

The next moment, a bright light flashed past.

"puff!"

Blood spurted from his neck, and the headless body collapsed with a thud.

This scene stunned Terai, who was standing to the side, and cold sweat slid down his mask.

Lord Danzo miscalculated...

According to information gathered by Root, Kumogakure had been collecting bloodline limits and secret techniques, which gave Lord Danzo an opportunity.

That incident nine years ago can also be used to get revenge.

But what Lord Danzo didn't expect was...

After the probing nine years ago, the Hidden Cloud Village no longer takes the Hidden Leaf Village seriously.

They didn't know what was in Uchiha Izumi's scroll, but whatever it was, the presence of two Sharingan with three tomoe each had already piqued their interest.

"I've taken care of over a dozen enemies, and you haven't even managed to kill three here..."

The burly figure crackling with lightning turned around, and Terai froze on the spot.

The Fourth Raikage... A!

They didn't know what was inside Uchiha Izumi's scroll, but it was just an extra Sharingan, and the Raikage personally took action...

"With Lord Raikage making his move, how could we possibly have a chance..."

"But looking at it this way... the Root, led by the so-called Darkness of the Ninja World, is nothing special."

Yugito looked at Uchiha Izumi, who had remained silent all along: "The Senju clan has fallen, and the Uchiha clan was almost completely wiped out by Uchiha Itachi four years ago. Konoha doesn't want to let the remaining clan members go either..."

"Under these circumstances, the decline of Konoha was entirely predictable. We tested the waters nine years ago, and the result spoke for itself."

The Fourth Raikage ignored Darui's teasing and instead reached out to retrieve the scroll that had just been handed over to Uchiha Izumi.

"Although I didn't have high expectations, I'm still a little curious about the potential benefits of Konoha turning against each other..."

Upon opening the sealed scroll, one can see an eye-shaped character in the center.

After the seal was broken, nine test tubes appeared in the center of the scroll, and in each test tube floated a Sharingan with three tomoe.

For a moment, the members of Yunyin were stunned.

After a long pause, Samoi said in a deep voice, "These are the eyes left behind after the Uchiha clan was wiped out, but they should have been in the hands of Uchiha Itachi."

"No matter how dark it is, Konoha would never openly gouge out the eyes of their own village's ninjas. And if it was Danzo of Konoha who did it, then these eyes should not be in your hands."

At this point, Samoi faced Uchiha Izumi and said, "You have a secret. You handed it over so readily before, were you already prepared to die?"

"Such an opponent who will not fight back... According to what I've heard about Danzo, he would never give us a three-tomoe Sharingan for no reason."

Darui yawned, then rubbed his eyes.

"Whatever the secret, we'll find out once we take it back to the interrogation team. It's pointless, I'm getting sleepy."

As he spoke, Darui looked at Uchiha Izumi and bowed slightly, saying, "I'm really sorry, but before you die, you should honestly confess everything. This is my advice to you."

Uchiha Izumi, who had remained silent until now, still showed no sign of fear.

Instead, he turned around and looked at Terai, who was making useless preparations for defense, with a mocking expression.

"After suppressing his fear of that great man for four years, it finally subsided, only to have it all taken by Yunyin in the end. Heh..."

"How ridiculous... Konoha will only perish in the hands of that pair."

Terai's deep voice rang out: "We only need to obey orders, because we all believe that Konoha will once again shine under Lord Danzo's leadership!"

"laugh!"

A disdainful laugh rang out.

The next moment, blood spurted from Terai's carotid artery.

“Brilliant? I could accept the title of the Fourth Hokage, who is known as the Golden Flash. Hiruzen Sarutobi is old, and Danzo is just a worm in the gutter.”

The Fourth Raikage once again stole his subordinate's head, the lightning still crackling on his outstretched hand, his gaze fixed on Uchiha Izumi.

Seeing this, Darui quickly spoke up to stop him, saying, "This one still needs to be taken back and interrogated. If he dies, we won't know the secrets behind it."

Yugito also spoke up, "We need to know the secret that allowed Danzo to give up a Sharingan."

Seeing that both of them said so, the Fourth Raikage snorted coldly and the lightning on his hand gradually subsided.

Uchiha Izumi remained silent once again, offering neither pleading nor making threats.

Because Izumi Uchiha was no longer the little girl she was four years ago. She knew very well about Kumogakure that threats would have no effect on the Fourth Raikage, given his personality.

As for begging for mercy...

Ninjas from other countries, especially those from the Five Great Nations, would not be accepted.

"Let's go."

Samoi's voice rang out, without even bothering to tie her up.

With the Fourth Raikage and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito, traveling together, escaping was simply wishful thinking.

Even an Uchiha with a three-tomoe Sharingan is no exception.

Uchiha Izumi also cooperated, but after taking two steps, she turned back to look in the direction of Konoha.

Sasuke... you have to escape!

I will pave the way for you from now on.

"What are you looking at? Will someone come to rescue you?"

Samoi looked at Izumi Uchiha: "Even nine years ago, Konoha chose to hand over members of the Hyuga clan, let alone an Uchiha clan that has already been wiped out..."

Darui, standing to the side, rubbed his temples. "Delaying won't get us anywhere; it'll only make things worse. Let's go!"

The next moment, Uchiha Izumi, who had just turned around, froze on the spot.

"Well... so you're thinking of sacrificing your own brain to make Kumogakure completely trust Sasuke? Defecting from Konoha and letting Sasuke join Kumogakure?"

A familiar voice rang out, and Uchiha Izumi hurriedly looked up and around.

"Brother...Brother!"

Her Sharingan with its three tomoe turned red, and no one knew the torment she had endured over the past four years.

The process of growing up is inevitably accompanied by pain. In an environment where she was constantly in fear, she was always thinking about how to protect Sasuke and her mother.

Sasuke is the future of the Uchiha clan, and his mother is his own future.

Four years had passed, and the immense pressure had long since overwhelmed her.

She wasn't a very smart person, and couldn't compare to the Nara clan, a fact she herself was well aware of.

So in the end, he had to sacrifice himself, and he couldn't even save his mother. But only in this way could Sasuke find a safe haven.

Only then can the deceased Uchiha clan members rest in peace in the future!

"Brother? Are you possessed?"

Yugito, despite using his Tailed Beast senses, found nothing, and the intelligence indicated that the Uchiha clan now consisted of only Sasuke Uchiha and a married woman.

"Escape! Escape!"

The next moment, the voice of the traveler echoed in Yukito's mind.

At the same time, a figure appeared beside Uchiha Izumi.

"Squeak..."

A clap of thunder sounded, and a beam of light shot towards them in an instant.

But the next moment...

"boom!!!"

The Fourth Raikage, who was rushing forward, was stomped on the ground. The immense force caused the ground to crack and even the surrounding area to tremble.

One strike!

No one could even see how the other person stepped down; the moment the Fourth Raikage launched his attack, he was stomped to the ground.

How is that possible?!

A sense of absurdity filled everyone's hearts. How could anyone defeat Lord Raikage so easily?
