Uchiha, starting from the destruction of the ninja world

Chapter 48 The Evil Uchiha Brat

Outside Konoha Village, a sea of ​​fire soared into the sky, and thick smoke swirled like a black dragon, turning half the sky red.

The air was thick with a suffocating atmosphere of anxiety.

Kakashi and Jiraiya, who had just returned to the village, stood on the high ground outside the village, looking at the burning village in front of them, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"What...what exactly happened?"

Jiraiya's expression was extremely grim...

"It seems something unimaginable has happened in the village..."

The fire raged on and on, seemingly threatening to consume all of Konoha's hopes.

Meanwhile, in the center of the village, a massive torrent of water, like a waterfall, poured down from the sky, its powerful force attempting to extinguish the raging inferno of burning dry wood.

Shockingly, the flames in the areas covered by the Water Release technique were not extinguished; instead, they burned even more violently as if encouraged, and the fire spread rapidly.

Just then, Tobirama, dressed in black, landed swiftly from the air. As soon as he touched the ground, countless withered branches rose up from all around him in a bizarre manner, rushing towards his body as if they were alive.

Tobirama swiftly formed hand seals, and countless sharp water blades flew from his fingertips, instantly severing all the approaching withered trees.

However, the next moment, Tobirama's expression suddenly changed.

He clearly sensed that these seemingly fragile, withered trees were strangely absorbing his chakra at an astonishing speed, which immediately filled him with apprehension.

Seeing that powerful water escape technique...

Kakashi stopped in his tracks...

"Why? What's going on with this fire?"

"Look at those trees..."

Jiraiya suddenly pointed to the strangely growing dead trees in the village, his voice tinged with surprise...

"These trees...could they be the Wood Release technique of the First Hokage?"

The dead trees have spread from inside the village to outside...

Kakashi frowned in thought, but just as he approached the dead trees...

He felt a strange sense of intimacy and familiarity, as if the withered trees instinctively avoided him and instead attacked other ninjas.

In the central area of ​​the village, Tobirama Senju was unleashing his full power in Water Release. His silver hair was wildly billowing amidst the waves and flames, large beads of cold sweat were seeping from his forehead, and his expression was so solemn it was almost terrifying.

"Damn it! This power..."

Tobirama gritted his teeth and whispered.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, stood beside Tobirama, gazing at the uncontrollable disaster before him: "Tobirama-sensei... is this still Wood Release...?"

Upon hearing this, Tobirama frowned, turned his head slightly, glanced at his disciple on whom he had once placed high hopes, and a trace of disappointment and sigh flashed in his eyes.

He paused for a moment: "To be precise, this is a completely new Wood Release technique. It is the complete opposite of my brother's Wood Release, which is full of life and vitality. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it Dry Wood Release."

"Withered Tree Release..."

Hiruzen paused, repeating the unfamiliar term in a low voice.

Tobirama gazed at the wildly burning, withered forest in the distance, and explained with a grave expression...

"The eldest brother's Wood Release symbolizes vitality and hope, and can create and protect everything; but this Dry Wood Release is completely the opposite, filled with the aura of death and decay."

"Especially once ignited by flames, these dry trees are like tinder, and no matter how powerful the water escape technique is, it can only barely slow down the spread of the fire, and cannot extinguish it completely."

Before he finished speaking, Tobirama quickly formed hand seals again, and waves of water surged forth, repelling the ever-approaching withered trees. However, an indescribable worry rose in his heart.

Tobirama was well aware that even if Danzo had transplanted Hashirama's cells, with his qualifications and abilities, he wouldn't have been able to create such a bizarre and powerful new bloodline limit.

so...

It's still related to Uchiha Abyss...

"You evil Uchiha brat!"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face showed deep pain and helplessness.

Danzo...

Why did you go to this point...?

Is it just because of his obsession with Naruto?

Not far away, large swathes of dead trees continued to expand wildly, like ferocious tentacles, spreading rapidly towards the border of the Land of Fire.

In this critical moment, all the Jonin in Konoha Village quickly assembled and formed hand seals to unleash Water Release techniques in an attempt to suppress the ever-spreading flames.

Even with the combined strength of all the Jonin in the village, they could only slightly slow down the fire, and were unable to completely extinguish the raging, burning deadwood.

Kakashi, who was acting in concert with Jiraiya, looked at the withered trees in front of him, but a strange feeling welled up inside him.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Kakashi slowly extended his palm and carefully touched a burning dead tree beside him.

The instant his fingertips touched the dead wood, his mind was suddenly filled with a series of clear and realistic images.

As if time had been reversed, he saw the great battle erupting between Danzo, Tobirama Senju, and the Third Hokage.

Those memories are vivid in his mind, every detail is so real it's breathtaking, as if he were personally involved.

Shocked, Kakashi tentatively channeled his chakra slowly into the withered tree...

To his surprise, these withered trees, which were originally full of destructive power, resonated with his chakra in a strange and profound way.

The feeling was quite wonderful, even subtly revealing an indescribable sense of intimacy and familiarity.

These dead trees seemed to be able to replenish the chakra he had just absorbed from other Konoha ninjas, quickly restoring his slightly tired body to its former vitality.

This strange power stirred a wave of emotion within Kakashi.

Just as he and Jiraiya were still confused, Tsunade rushed to their side.

"Tsunade, what's going on?"

Jiraiya asked anxiously.

Tsunade shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but an order suddenly came from the Hokage's office to list Danzo as a rogue ninja."

"Danzo, the traitor? Why?"

Tsunade sighed, "I still don't know the reason, but the situation is serious, and we must go see the old man immediately."

At that moment, several dark figures appeared, and several ANBU ninjas appeared before the three of them, their tone respectful yet urgent: "Gentlemen, the Hokage is waiting for you. Please come with us."

The three exchanged glances and, without hesitation, quickly followed the secret service to the designated location.

Soon after, they arrived at a secluded clearing.

The atmosphere here was unusually heavy and oppressive. Hiruzen Sarutobi stood there with a face full of grief, while a mysterious figure in a black cloak stood silently in the shadows beside him.

"Grandpa, what exactly happened?" Jiraiya asked anxiously first.

Hiruzen Sarutobi opened his mouth, but then stopped himself from speaking.

Just then, the man in black slowly stepped forward and said in a low, calm voice, "Let me tell you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly lifted the hood of his cloak, revealing a face that made Tsunade and Jiraiya freeze in place as if struck by lightning.

"Second Grandfather..."

Tsunade whispered, her voice trembling, her face filled with shock and disbelief.

However, when Tobirama saw Kakashi, his expression changed instantly!

"Monkey, what's going on? Why are there Uchiha clan members here?!"
