[Start of the chapter]

With Uchiha Madara's Katon: Gōka Messhitsu (Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction), he could smother countless Water Release techniques in one go.

At this moment, the fierce battle was still raging.

Fire Release ninjutsu blazed nonstop, tinting half the sky red.

In just a minute or two, dozens of Uchiha clan compounds were swallowed by roaring flames.

At the same time—

A group of Konoha ANBU and several high-ranking officials arrived at the scene one after another.

Faced with this battlefield—fireballs streaking everywhere, the clash so violent it was hard to believe—

Every single one of them froze.

They had thought Konoha was under invasion, which was why such a battle had erupted.

But after taking a closer look—

It was Uchiha Fugaku, the clan head, fighting a young Uchiha boy at close quarters!

Everyone was dumbstruck.

What was going on?

An internal Uchiha spar? But did it need to be this deadly?

Or had the Uchiha fractured internally?

Even if it was internal conflict, how could a kid barely over ten be the one taking the lead?

Of course, those questions were secondary.

What truly put these ninjas in a bind was this: they didn't know which side to help.

Help Fugaku suppress "internal unrest," so he could continue leading the Uchiha in plotting a coup?

Or help that Uchiha kid resist Fugaku—attacking the captain of the Konoha Military Police Force for no clear reason?

Either choice was improper.

And on top of that, the intensity of their Fire Release duel was downright absurd.

Every strike matched a full-power assault from an elite jōnin.

If ordinary ANBU rushed in, they'd be throwing their lives away.

So even as more and more ninjas arrived—

They still hesitated, not daring to interfere casually.

They could only keep watch at the perimeter.

Or block the sparks that splattered outward, preventing the flames from spreading further.

Meanwhile, as more Konoha shinobi came to watch—

Even the ANBU assigned to monitor the Uchiha were drawn over by the commotion.

At this point, Sayoha felt the timing was right.

His "fireball technique" truly was terrifying in power.

But when it came to chakra reserves, he wasn't certain he could outlast a kage-class powerhouse like Fugaku.

If this dragged on, it would only become worse for him.

He had to explode with everything he had!

"Clan Head, show me something real."

"Stop holding back—use your big move."

"Don't disappoint me."

"Tonight… let Konoha feel pain again."

Mangekyō Sharingan… activate!

Susanoo… activate!

Then—

Yin and yang inverted, and a surging ocular power roared outward.

An ultimate blood-red radiance bloomed from Sayoha's eyes.

Immediately after, a crimson skeletal Susanoo giant rose into the air—towering to the heavens, standing firm against the earth, its presence shaking everything around it.

"Is that the Mangekyō Sharingan?!"

"Is this… the legendary 'power of the gods'—Susanoo?!"

"How can that be?!"

"That's Uchiha Sayoha, isn't it? Fugaku's nephew!"

"Didn't he just turn ten this year? He awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan?! How is that even possible?!"

As that colossal Susanoo manifested—

In an instant—

Every shinobi watching was thrown into shock.

No one could help it. This kind of divine, demonic power existed only in records and history books.

And now, it was appearing in the world for the first time.

The impact was beyond description.

Even though this was only Susanoo's first form—just a massive upper-body skeleton—

That violent chakra pressure, paired with a skeletal apparition over ten meters tall, still carried overwhelming intimidation.

It made the ANBU present feel their scalps go cold.

And what was even more unbelievable was that this power—surpassing an elite jōnin—

Was coming from an Uchiha boy who was only ten…

It didn't feel real. Like a dream.

At that moment, after witnessing Sayoha awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan and unleash the "power of the gods," Susanoo—

Uchiha Fugaku was stunned.

"You…!"

"When did you awaken the Mangekyō?!"

"You actually mastered the 'third kind of power'!"

"So this is your trump card?!"

He had never imagined anyone could awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan at such a young age!

He had thought Itachi, awakening it at thirteen, was already exceptional.

But this kid was even more outrageous.

This kid had hidden far too deeply!

If he'd known earlier—

Then the clan's coup would have had far greater odds.

But despite holding such power—

The kid didn't want the coup. Instead, he decided to lead half the clan in defecting.

Foolish.

"Sayoha, stop!"

"Even if you have the Mangekyō Sharingan—Even if you have Susanoo—you will never succeed!"

"We can—"

"Hmph. Words are pointless. Die."

Sayoha gave a cold laugh, offering no extra explanation.

He directly controlled Susanoo and charged at Fugaku.

A gigantic skeletal fist howled through the air, whipping up rings upon rings of gale-force wind.

Just as it was about to land on Fugaku—

Or rather, just as everyone thought the Uchiha clan head was about to be beaten into minced meat—

In a flash—

A pitch-black chakra surged out, rapidly condensing into form.

It became a towering black skeletal Susanoo of equal size, forcibly catching that punch head-on.

Boom…

A deafening roar exploded.

A violent shockwave swept past Fugaku and tore outward.

It completely obliterated the clan head's estate, leaving enormous craters gouged into the ground.

This power was truly terrifying.

Like a sledgehammer smashing into every bystander's chest—so much so that the few who had still been considering intervening stopped where they were.

Afraid they, too, would be pounded into paste.

Seeing this, a gleam flashed through Sayoha's eyes.

He had known Fugaku, as clan head, had been hiding plenty of strength.

But witnessing him awaken the Mangekyō and use Susanoo with his own eyes still shook him.

A clan head skilled at endurance and restraint.

A powerhouse who had lived through two Great Ninja Wars.

And yet, in the end, he would be willing to die at the hands of his own son.

How tragic.
