Chapter 378: Twists and Turns

Thunder Chakra Mode MAX·Thunder Armor!

Uchiha Mai transformed into a super ninja, stepped out of the Susanoo, and killed Madara. Thousands of innate body-breaking invisible sword energy were released within a wave of her hand.

Danger!

Madara was extremely alert at this moment, and he felt that the Uchiha dance at this moment had a bit of peak Hashirama meaning.

This is definitely not an opponent that his old self can defeat.

Feeling bad, the three magatama in Madara's eyes rotated, chakra surged out, and once again transformed into Susanoo to protect the body, and continued to strengthen Susanoo.

The rain of sword energy fell, traveling through time and space and transcending space. The sword energy containing the power of distortion once again blasted Madara's Susanoo with holes in it.

Because Madara's Susanoo has not yet reached the third stage this time, the appearance behind the sword is even more miserable than before.

"boom!"

Uchiha Mai punched out brazenly. This punch contained many secrets of boxing techniques, as well as power that surpassed everyone in the ninja world today. The strength and skill had reached the extreme.

Susanoo, who was already in tatters, was completely destroyed by this punch.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and others were stunned and couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.

Madara's Susanoo is definitely stronger than the Susanoo that Shisui used just now, and Shisui just used the Susanoo to fight the Kyuubi for countless rounds.

With a little reasoning, you can know how powerful Madara's Susanoo is and how high its gold content is.

Such a powerful Susanoo could not survive two moves in the hands of Mai Uchiha, and was destroyed by one punch of Sword Qi + Ping A. It's to blow it up, not to penetrate it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and others really couldn't imagine how strong Mai Uchiha was now. She must have reached an inhuman state.

"boom!"

Uchiha Mai punched out again, this one hitting Madara's chest. The fist that exceeded the speed of sound turned into a spear and passed through Madara's left chest, shattering Madara's heart.

"puff!"

Madara spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes gradually blurred.

Even though Madara was once one of the strongest ninjas in the world, and his life force was the highest in the ninja world, there was no way he could maintain his usual fighting power when his heart was shattered and his body was severely injured.

"I told you before that winning against you is enough."

Uchiha Wu whispered in Madara's ear, and activated the innate body-breaking invisible sword energy. He raised his eyebrows and dozens of sword energy flew out of his body, tearing Madara into pieces, crushing his bones and raising ashes.

The big stone hanging in the hearts of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others has finally settled.

Madara, the remnant of the old era and the number one in the ninja world, finally hit GG. After being defeated and reduced to ashes, there was no longer the possibility of suddenly pretending to be a corpse.

When Madara died, Uchiha Mai also became the undisputed strongest ninja world.

Shining in the Third Ninja War, Uchiha Madara, one of the two heroes of the Ninja World, was killed. This impressive record is enough to rival the two heroes of the ninja world back then.

Coupled with Fugaku and Shisui who have awakened the Kaleidoscope, Uchiha now has three powerful men, and it has become a foregone conclusion to regain control of Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that from now on, he would have no choice or possibility to restrict Uchiha Mai.

In the ninja world, it all comes down to who has the bigger fist. It has been several years since Mai Uchiha awakened Mangekyou, and her strength is still improving steadily, and she has no problems with her eyes.

Can't beat it, really can't beat it.

"Mai, here is the beast Kyuubi!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted urgently, be as kind as possible.

Uchiha Maijun glanced at Kyuubi, who was restrained by Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, and had regained some consciousness due to Madara's death, and said softly: "Back off."

Without saying a word, Orochimaru gave up maintaining the three-party sealing technique, used all his strength to use the teleportation technique, and escaped.

There's never been a better time to run away than now.

Uchiha Mai had already said to stand down, indicating that he was going to take action against Kyuubi. Running away at this time would not cause trouble to Uchiha Mai, nor would he have to face this apparent brother.

At the same time, Minato was taking care of Kushina, and Hiruzen Sarutobi had reached a py deal with him, so they would not pursue him immediately.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Orochimaru who was running away, sighed silently, and retreated a distance without giving an order to chase Orochimaru.

Orochimaru has outstanding strength, but his killing ability and ability to torture vegetables are not too outrageous. Four or five elite jonins are enough to compete with Orochimaru.

There are more than forty or fifty Jōnin reaching out from here right now.

But...after all, there was a master-disciple battle, and Orochimaru was smart enough to run away immediately, and Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to get things done.

Well, you can just look for any reason: The Konoha jounin and I have to prepare for the Uchiha dance, so we can't pursue Orochimaru immediately.

After Orochimaru, Danzo, and Sarutobi Hiruzen retreated, Uchiha Mai waved her hand and used the innate body-breaking invisible sword energy.

Kyuubi, who had just regained consciousness, had not yet figured out the situation, but felt hundreds of swords in his body, condensed with chakra into a body, and was riddled with holes.

"Kyuubi, you are too dangerous. You must be returned to the jinchuriki immediately."

Kyuubi:? ? ?

You can seriously injure me with just a wave of your hand. Who is more dangerous between the two of us?

"Roar!"

Kyuubi roared angrily, and his collapsed body gradually stared again. After seeing clearly the murderer Uchiha Mai, Ganga became furious.

The Sharingan is the Uchiha I hate the most.

"Roar!"

When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous. The Nine-Tailed Fox, who has ptsd towards Uchiha, opens his mouth without saying a word, condenses Yin and Yang Chakra, and needs to use the Tailed Beast Ball to shoot him.

"Boom!"

Uchiha Mai takes a step forward, and hits the Nine-Tailed Fox in the mouth with a Rising Dragon Fist. The unmatched fist force directly blasts the Nine-Tailed Fox upwards for hundreds of meters.

The world's martial arts come from Rising Dragon.

"Boom!"

There is another loud noise, and the Tailed Beast Ball explodes in the Nine-Tailed Fox's mouth, smashing half of the Nine-Tailed Fox's head.

Fortunately, the Nine-Tailed Fox is a tailed beast condensed by chakra. If it were an ordinary person or an ordinary summoning beast, the backlash of this Tailed Beast Ball would be enough to kill it.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's body began to fall, but before it fell to the ground, Uchiha Mai grabbed one of its tails and swung it to the ground.

It was like the Hulk hitting Loki, but the difference between Uchiha Mai and the Nine-Tailed Fox was really a bit big.

But because of this, this scene is shocking enough.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

...

The earth was shaking, and the original dense forest was ravaged into ruins by the huge body of the Nine-Tails.

Every time the Nine-Tails was knocked down, the hearts of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, and the senior ninjas of Konoha beat, and the corners of their mouths twitched slightly.

It was too brutal.

The Nine-Tails ravaged Konoha, leaving the five top masters Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, Orochimaru, Shisui, and Fugaku, and more than a hundred senior ninjas helpless.

In Uchiha Mai's hands, it was like a slightly larger husky, and he didn't even need to use the Sharingan illusion, and could be completely defeated with just his physical strength.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The Nine-Tails, which was knocked down, was knocked down twice again, and then thrown back into the sky.

Uchiha Mai looked up at the sky, and the Mangekyo Sharingan in his eyes turned, and the distortion power was activated, locking the Nine-Tails in the sky.

"Bang!"

The forward and reverse rotation started, and the entire body of the Nine-Tails seemed to be stuffed into an invisible meat grinder and grinding wheel, and was broken up into pure chakra in an instant.

The tailed beasts are immortal. Even if they are broken up into pure chakra, even if they die with the Jinchūriki, the tailed beasts will be reborn somewhere in the ninja world a few years later.

The Nine-Tails is definitely not dead at this moment, but its body is disintegrating, and the control of its will over its body has dropped to freezing point.

The pure chakra that lost control floated away and returned to the sealed space in Kushina's body, condensing into a big fox and falling asleep.

The Nine-Tails was scared by the beating.

"As expected of Master Mai, even Uchiha Madara and the Nine-Tails are no match for Master Mai."

"As powerful as the Nine-Tails is, it is nothing but a creature in Master Mai's hands. Master Mai's strength is already beyond the limits of our imagination."

...

The crisis was finally resolved, and the surviving Konoha ninjas couldn't help but cheer and exclaimed at the same time, marveling at the strength Uchiha Mai showed in this battle.

"Huh, Uchiha Madara is dead, and the Nine-Tails has been resealed, but the crisis has not really been resolved."

Danzo wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then couldn't wait to add insult to injury: "Hiruzen, I propose to send out an elite team immediately, and even let Minato personally hunt down Orochimaru.

Orochimaru has a lot of top-secret information about Konoha. He fled after persuading me to invest in his experiment and the laboratory was exposed. It can be seen how guilty he is.

This level of traitorous ninja must not be left, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

At this moment, the one who wanted to kill Orochimaru the most was Danzo, his partner.

Although the second generation invented the technique of Impure World Reincarnation, Orochimaru has also studied this technique recently. But in general, the dead can keep secrets better than the living.

Only when Orochimaru dies can Danzo draw a clear line with Orochimaru and continue to sit firmly in the position of elder in Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not answer, but just stared at Danzo silently. Danzo, don’t you see the situation clearly?

Since Orochimaru failed in the election for Hokage, he has been a little discouraged and gradually shifted his energy to scientific research, and his relationship with Danzo has eased.

Especially recently, the two often appear and disappear together, and have been noticed by many senior ninjas.

This is obviously not something that Danzo can explain clearly with a sentence "It's all Orochimaru's fault".

Danzo had fought with Uchiha Mai for several years before, and was far less low-key than in the original plot, and had a lot of black material on him.

If it weren't for Sarutobi Hiruzen's nostalgia, and Danzo made up for his mistakes in the Third Ninja World War, he would definitely not be reinstated.

Konoha's jonin naturally distrusted Danzo, and they would not be surprised no matter what bad things Danzo did.

Danzo, who had already noticed something was wrong, looked around and found that many Konoha jonin had surrounded him silently.

"Danzo, there is no point in saying more. Using Konoha citizens for live experiments is too much.

Even if you are the assistant of the Hokage, you can't clear your suspicion with just a few words.

Orochimaru has fled for fear of crime. You are the only insider and criminal suspect. I hope you can cooperate with the work of the interrogation department.

If it is proved that you are indeed innocent, I am willing to apologize to you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, signaling his left and right to take Danzo down immediately.

Danzo's face was pale. How could he be innocent?

The beasts in the interrogation department were inhumane and proficient in various ninjutsu that invaded the brain and searched the memory. Danzo knew this very well.

At the same time, Danzo was also very clear about the rules of Konoha, the largest village in the ninja world.

Using villagers for experiments is indeed a big deal. If it gets out, it will greatly undermine the cohesion of the village. However, with more than a hundred jonin-level witnesses, it is impossible to suppress this matter.

So even ninjas of Danzo and Orochimaru's level, once they are identified as suspects, they have to go to the interrogation department.

If you cooperate with the interrogation department's memory search, all the crimes you have committed will be found out. If you don't cooperate, it means you are guilty and confirm your identity as a criminal suspect.

In short, this incident, which has the worst impact since the establishment of Konoha Village, must be held accountable by one or several people, and those who are openly involved should not easily distance themselves from it.

For the unity and cohesion of Konoha, and to give an explanation to the people and more than a hundred jonin witnesses, this matter must be dealt with seriously.

Orochimaru saw this clearly, so he ran away decisively.

Danzo initially thought he could put the blame on Orochimaru, but now he understands the difficulty.

"You can't do this to me..."

Danzo looked terrified, surrounded by more than a hundred senior ninjas. Except for Uchiha Mai, who was hanging on the wall, who in the ninja world could not panic?

In a trance, Danzo seemed to think of something and shouted: "I have made contributions to Konoha, I have shed blood for Konoha, and I am the disciple of the second generation.

You can't do this to me, I want to see the Hokage, I want to see the Hokage!

I am the assistant of the Hokage of Konoha, and only the Hokage can deal with me."

Danzo desperately emphasized his identity as the assistant of the Hokage, firmly grasping this last straw.

Procedurally, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo are both assistants of the Hokage, and they do not have the power to deal with or arrest Danzo. This level of order needs to be issued by the Hokage himself.

But the senior ninjas did not hear Danzo's shouting, subconsciously ignored the problem of procedure, and slowly approached Danzo.

Procedurally, Minato is indeed the person in charge of Konoha. But the ones who really hold the power of Konoha's various departments are Uchiha Mai and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Among the more than 100 jonins present, there are ordinary jonins, jonins from various families, ANBU jonins, HOLY jonins, HINO jonins, and jonins from the Uchiha clan.

The first few are the lackeys of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and they only follow Sarutobi Hiruzen's lead. The latter are the lackeys of Uchiha Mai, and it is well known that Danzo and Uchiha Mai have always been at odds.

It would be fine if Minato Namikaze spoke in person, but it is not realistic for a mere Danzo to use the name of the Hokage to intimidate these jonins.

Seeing that there was no room for reversal, Danzo decisively formed a seal with one hand, used the vacuum ninjutsu, and killed towards a relatively weak position in the encirclement.

"Sarutobi, you forced me to do this. If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
