Naruto's Strongest Force - Chapter 32
The people from the Hokage faction and Kumogakure were greatly surprised.
The Third Hokage didn’t know what Uchiha Natsuki was planning by appearing at this moment.
However, he absolutely could not allow Konoha to clash with Kumogakure again.
Yugito Nii frowned, not expecting this variable of Uchiha Natsuki, especially as the Hokage was pressing the Hyuga clan.
She had thought they could take advantage of the situation and then renegotiate, but Natsuki’s sudden appearance disrupted their plans.
Yugito Nii continued the charade, “Uchiha Natsuki, our people from Kumogakure were killed in the Hyuga household, and you come here to make sarcastic comments?”
Natsuki, however, didn’t take the bait. “Stop pretending. You sent a suicide squad to test Konoha’s response. Just admit it.”
“Now that you’ve tested us, you know Konoha is unwilling to start another war.”
Natsuki raised a finger.
“Unfortunately, you got one thing wrong.”
Everyone present turned pale. Knowing something and having it openly stated are two different things.
Yugito Nii dropped the act, her face darkening, “What did we get wrong?”
Natsuki walked forward, clenching his fist. “That idiot was killed by me with one punch. It had nothing to do with the Hyuga clan.”
“You!” Yugito Nii was both shocked and furious.
“Hey! Don’t ask. If you want to know why, it’s because I didn’t like him, so I killed him,” Natsuki said provocatively.
“If you’re not satisfied, come and kill me.”
Yugito Nii shouted, “Killer Bee!”
“Lariat!” Killer Bee, clad in the chakra cloak of the Eight-Tails, couldn’t hold back any longer. His body surged with lightning chakra as he charged.
Stones flew, and the ground cracked under his feet.
“Natsuki!” Hizashi was anxious, expecting the situation to escalate slowly.
But Fugaku, with his arms crossed, seemed to have confidence in Natsuki.
In a flash.
Boom! Bang!
A massive explosion echoed, and dust flew everywhere.
A giant yellow figure rose from the ground. This Susanoo, unlike the first stage’s skeletal form, was covered in muscles and blood vessels and enveloped in a cloak-like chakra.
The swirling chakra storm impacted everyone’s hearts.
Killer Bee, like an insect, was pinned to the ground.
“Susanoo!!!”
Everyone present exclaimed.
The Third Hokage’s face darkened further, realizing that Natsuki possessed the Mangeky? Sharingan.
Yugito Nii’s heart skipped a beat. Was this the divine power of the Uchiha clan?
“Damn! Roar!”
Killer Bee, however, was not one to easily admit defeat. Though pinned down, he struggled, his body transforming as dark red tails of tailed beast chakra emerged.
Half-Tailed Beast Transformation!
Just as Killer Bee was about to lift Susanoo’s foot.
Boom! Another purple-black Susanoo appeared, stomping down again.
It was Fugaku, revealing his Susanoo!
The surrounding ninja couldn’t stand with two Susanoo present, all thrown back by the fierce aura.
Under the divine power, the young Killer Bee was instantly pinned down.
Bones cracked, and Killer Bee screamed.
He passed out, the tailed beast cloak slowly dissipating.
Yugito Nii was terrified!
Was Susanoo this powerful? Even the Eight-Tails’ Half-Tailed Beast Transformation couldn’t withstand it?
Natsuki grabbed the unconscious Killer Bee.
“If you want to fight, I’ll kill Killer Bee now. Your choice, Yugito Nii.”
With Killer Bee’s life in Natsuki’s hands, Yugito Nii hesitated, “Wait! Uchiha Natsuki, what do you want?”
Controlling his unparalleled Susanoo, Natsuki stood in the center, “Nothing much. Didn’t you set up this scenario yourselves? What, can’t accept the consequences now?”
Natsuki’s face was mocking, but Yugito Nii couldn’t react, restrained not only by Killer Bee’s situation but also by the surprise of two Uchiha with Mangeky? Sharingan.
In comparison, the Hokage faction appeared cowardly. Despite seeing through Kumogakure’s scheme, they sold out the Hyuga clan, forcing them to handle the situation.
With Susanoo’s huge commotion, more and more ninjas were arriving.
Yugito Nii looked defeated. This time, they had truly lost.
She gritted her teeth, “We Kumogakure have lost. Please, spare Killer Bee.”
Natsuki nodded at Fugaku, then released Susanoo.
He threw the severely injured Killer Bee to Konoha’s side.
“I’m not satisfied with the terms of this peace agreement. We need to renegotiate.”
Natsuki had yet to learn about the content of the peace agreement but used it to gain favor with Konoha.
Why he did so was simple.
“Third Hokage, our clan’s territory is very secure. We no longer need your protection. Otherwise, I might accidentally hurt my fellow villagers.”
Natsuki emphasized the words “fellow villagers.”
The Third Hokage stepped forward, “Previously, the Uchiha district was under construction, so we assigned many ANBU to protect it.”
His tone paused, glancing at Killer Bee, “Since the Uchiha district is completed, we will naturally withdraw.”
Natsuki nodded, then turned to Hizashi, “Lord Hizashi, feel free to visit our new district.”
Hizashi first cast a cold glance at the Third Hokage, then replied sincerely, “After handling family matters, I will certainly visit.”
“Let’s go!” Natsuki called, leading Fugaku and the other Uchiha members away.
The Third Hokage, seeing the looks from the Hyuga clan, knew they had been outmaneuvered by the Uchiha again.
But Kumogakure did offer benefits.
Thick-skinned, enduring the Hyuga clan’s gazes, he turned to Yugito Nii.
“Yugito Nii, there are some errors in our peace agreement. We need to discuss it again.”
…
Back in the Uchiha district, Fugaku seemed unsteady, and Natsuki quickly supported him.
“Clan leader, you didn’t need to act. I could handle Kumogakure alone.”
Fugaku, covering his eyes, slowly sat down.
“You were too aggressive. If Yugito Nii had also acted, you couldn’t have stopped two Jinchuriki.”
“I had to help control Killer Bee quickly.”
Fugaku was panting, his eye aching, and his vision further blurred.
Seeing Fugaku’s concern, Natsuki felt guilty.
His confidence stemmed from his multiple Mangeky? Sharingan powers, his visual prowess far exceeding an ordinary Mangeky?.
Achieving the Eternal Mangeky? Sharingan was just a matter of time.
Even in the second stage, Susanoo had disadvantaged Killer Bee. If necessary, he would directly activate the third stage Susanoo.
No one present could rival him. By now, he was the strongest in Konoha.
The Uchiha clan no longer needed to bow to Konoha.
“Clan leader, your vision has already blurred, hasn’t it?”
