Chapter 59: Go Die, Hiruzen Sarutobi, You Old Bastard!
"Go die, Hiruzen Sarutobi, you old bastard!"
A black-haired youth suddenly broke through the police cordon, kunai in hand, charging straight at Hiruzen Sarutobi!
At the critical moment, Uchiha Sanpō used Body Flicker to block in front of him and grabbed the youth's wrist in one swift motion.
Tears streamed down the boy's face: "Let me go! He killed my entire family!"
Uchiha Sanpō's Sharingan stared directly at the youth: "Today, you cannot make a move."
"Why?!"
"Because you're too weak. You can't beat him!"
Hearing this, the youth collapsed to the ground and wailed loudly.
"Someone, take him away!"
Uchiha Sanpō removed the ninja headband from his forehead. A wicked, charming smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, right now I am a temporary rogue ninja. Whatever I do has nothing to do with Konoha. Either you defeat me, or you leave behind 20 billion ryō before you go! Of course, even if you lose the fight, I'll only take 20 billion ryō from you. I hope you don't get beaten to death during the battle, or it'll be difficult for me too!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face twitched: As expected of the evil Uchiha — they can casually come up with excuses like "temporary rogue ninja."
He had collected intelligence on Uchiha Sanpō. This person was intelligent and cunning, acting with great strategy. His specialty was a god-demon transformation ninjutsu that allowed him to transform into a two-headed, four-armed form. In that state, he could easily use Wind-Fire combination ninjutsu.
What was his goal this time? 20 billion ryō? Defeat me, or kill me? But handing over 20 billion ryō would leave a very bitter taste… Then I can only fight!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face had already turned somewhat iron-blue.
He said coldly: "Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"
Uchiha Sanpō looked completely at ease: "Anyway, there's no one left in your Sarutobi clan grounds. Let's fight inside the barrier!"
A gap immediately opened in the barrier around the Sarutobi clan grounds. Uchiha Sanpō entered first and leaped onto the roof of the tallest building.
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and followed him in, jumping onto a slightly lower rooftop. The two faced each other.
Hundreds of Police Force members tightened the security perimeter. Many Konoha villagers immediately ran to the edge of the barrier to watch the battle.
Seeing so many people approaching, the remaining twenty-four Sarutobi jōnin activated a three-sided sealing barrier to protect the 24.7 billion ryō in cash along with the massive piles of gold and silver.
Uchiha Sanpō's eyes narrowed. He activated his Three Tomoe Sharingan, and his expression became calm and steady.
Hiruzen Sarutobi thought he was about to attack. He brought his hands together: "Shadow Clone Technique!"
The Shadow Clone Technique was developed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, specifically to counter the Uchiha. Because shadow clones were immune to Sharingan genjutsu, had physical bodies, and could use ninjutsu, their tactical value was quite high.
Four of Hiruzen Sarutobi's shadow clones spread out and charged toward Uchiha Sanpō from four different directions.
Seeing the opponent summon four shadow clones, Uchiha Sanpō quickly analyzed: Hiruzen Sarutobi had roughly 600+ chakra. After creating four shadow clones, each clone only had a little over 100 chakra.
For safety's sake, before fighting he habitually checked his system panel.
Host: Uchiha SanpōStrength: Kage-levelLifespan: 17/121Dao Companions: Uzumaki Huiyi (Favorability: 100%), Terumī Mei (Favorability: 63%), Aoyama Yui (Favorability: 60%)Life: 2980/2980Chakra: 2858/2858Pupil Power: 1630/1630
He was only a little over 17 years old and his body was still developing, so his stats had grown again.
After checking his attributes, he began forming seals: Saru — Shin — Hai… God-Demon Transformation (Two-Headed, Four-Armed Form)… Shadow Clone Technique.
Sixteen of Uchiha Sanpō's shadow clones suddenly appeared, then rapidly scattered and attacked Hiruzen Sarutobi's shadow clones.
Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's four shadow clones began forming seals at high speed. Their movements were so fast they left afterimages.
The first shadow clone formed seals with one hand: Saru — Uma — Tatsu… (Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet)… Saru — Uma — Mi… (Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet)
A three-meter dragon head continuously fired earth blocks from its mouth. The earth blocks passed through the flames and turned into burning fireballs — this was Hiruzen Sarutobi's combination ninjutsu: Earth Dragon Flame Flow.
The second shadow clone also formed seals with one hand: Tora — Ushi — Shin… (Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet)… Shin — U — Tori… (Lightning Release: Thunder Bomb)
A thirty-plus-meter water dragon stretched its body, then a bolt of lightning merged into it. In an instant, the entire water dragon turned into a shining lightning dragon — this was Hiruzen Sarutobi's combination ninjutsu: Lightning Water Dragon Bullet.
The third shadow clone continued with one-handed seals: Saru — Uma — Mi… (Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet)… Shin — Tori — Inu… (Wind Release: Vacuum Wave)
A thirty-plus-meter fire dragon was reinforced layer by layer by vacuum waves the moment it left the mouth, forming a flame hurricane — this was Hiruzen Sarutobi's combination ninjutsu: Explosive Wind Flame Flow.
The fourth shadow clone used an A-rank technique: Shuriken Shadow Clone. He threw a huge shuriken forward, which then split into dozens of shuriken shadow clones for continuous attacks.
In his two-headed, four-armed state, Uchiha Sanpō sneered: "Hiruzen Sarutobi knows many ninjutsu, but he isn't specialized enough in any of them, so they all look flashy but lack substance!"
The sixteen god-demon shadow clones of Uchiha Sanpō simultaneously revealed ferocious smiles.
Thirty-two mouths and sixty-four arms formed seals at the same time: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique… Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!
Although both techniques were only C-rank, Uchiha Sanpō had trained them to perfection.
One after another, 15-meter-diameter fireballs were carried forward by more than a dozen powerful gusts of wind, turning into sixteen flame waterfalls that were 15 meters wide and over 50 meters long.
What kind of scene was this? 16 × 15 = 240 meters wide, over 50 meters long — a torrent of flames.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's shadow clones' ninjutsu looked like fish swimming against the current in a flame waterfall and quickly disappeared without a trace.
Outside the barrier, the crowd erupted in tsunami-like exclamations. Their faces were lit red by the firelight.
"Is… is that ninjutsu a human can release?"
A certain Akimichi clan uncle dropped the skewer of meat in his hand. His mouth moved slightly: "Why do I feel like… that kid is even more terrifying than Uchiha Fugaku!"
One snot-nosed kid suddenly screamed: "Mom, look! That old man's water dragon got evaporated!"
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
All four of Hiruzen Sarutobi's shadow clones disappeared inside the flame torrent.
Seeing that the opponent's strength was far greater than he had imagined, Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his left hand and shouted: "I… surrender!"
