Chapter 379 Dead or Alive

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed when he saw this, knowing that Danzo must have been in cahoots with Orochimaru, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

Although he had already been certain in his heart, when the hammer was really hammered, Sarutobi Hiruzen still sighed.

Danzo and he were both enemies and friends. They were both students of the second generation. They had fought for decades and depended on each other for decades. Now they had to meet in battle, and there was even a high probability that one of them would fall here.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want him to be the one who fell, and he knew that the one who fell would never be him.

More than a hundred jonin + Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo had no chance of escaping, he was just fighting in a trapped beast.

Go ahead, regardless of life or death!

Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to open his mouth to give an order, he suddenly sensed that there were dozens of sharp and extremely fast sword qi as fast as lightning and as agile as wind, transcending time and space, passing through the crowd like a spirit snake, and killing Danzo.

It was Uchiha Mai's innate body-breaking invisible sword qi.

Danzo is the enemy of the Uchiha clan. In the past, Uchiha Mai did not kill Danzo because Sarutobi Hiruzen tried to protect Danzo, and he did not have the strength and capital to overturn the table.

Now that Danzo must die, Uchiha Mai certainly wants to personally send Danzo to the west.

When Danzo rushed towards Sarutobi Hiruzen, he also paid attention to Uchiha Mai. He knew that the person who wanted him to die the most at the scene would never be Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sure enough, Uchiha Mai took action.

Danzo had personally witnessed Uchiha Mai's innate body-breaking invisible sword energy. With a wave of his hand, thousands of sword energies shot out, and the power was so strong that it could even destroy the Nine-Tails.

When Uchiha Mai raised his hand, Danzo also reacted, using the instant body technique to change direction and kill towards the weak point of the encirclement.

This is a feint to the east and attack in the west.

But Danzo obviously underestimated Uchiha Mai's innate body-breaking invisible sword energy.

This sword energy can transcend time and space, and it is unpredictable and unpredictable. Even if Danzo changes direction, the sword energy still kills him.

Danzo was hit by dozens of sword energies head-on without any time to use any ninjutsu or sealing techniques to resist.

The extreme power of dead fire and distortion contained in the sword energy instantly beat Danzo to ashes and no bones were left.

The darkness of ninja ended here.

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw this and just frowned, but didn't say much. Shaking his head, he walked towards the village with a hunched back.

This era has become the Uchiha family.

Danzo is such a powerful ninja, his wind escape attainments are the best in the ninja world, and he is proficient in sealing techniques. Even Sarutobi Hiruzen dare not guarantee that he will definitely beat Danzo.

Such a top ninja in the ninja world was killed by Uchiha Mai with a wave of his hand.

When the strength is so strong, there is no law or rule in the world that can restrict him.

I can do whatever I want.

"Prepare to withdraw." Uchiha Mai put down his arm and said calmly, as if he had just crushed an ant.

"Yes."

Whether it was the ANBU, the Kyobu, or the senior ninja of Sarutobi Hiruzen, they all responded respectfully.

Cleaning the battlefield and treating the wounded, no need to elaborate.

A few minutes later, good news came from Namikaze Minato. Kushina successfully gave birth to a son, named Uzumaki Naruto, and both mother and child were safe.

Naruto must have the surname Uzumaki.

Although Namikaze Minato was the fourth Hokage, he was just a commoner. Kushina was born in Uzumaki, one of the former wealthy families in the ninja world.

The wealthy families in the ninja world are very arrogant in inheritance, even if they are down and out, they are still wealthy families.

This is just like the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Families in the early Tang Dynasty. The Li Tang royal family was considered country people by the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Families. When the "Clan Records" was first compiled, the Bo Ling Cui family was even ranked ahead of the Li Tang royal family.

So whether there is the Nine-Tails Rebellion or not, whether Minato and his wife live or die, Naruto's last name will be Uzumaki.

On the way back to the village, Fugaku quietly found Uchiha Mai, hesitant to speak.

"Uncle Fugaku, do you have anything to say?" Uchiha Mai asked.

Fugaku lowered his voice and guessed: "Mai, I am not doubting your strength.

I am just worried that Uchiha Madara may not have been really killed by you, and there is a possibility that he will come back to life."

"No, he is dead."

Uchiha Mai said firmly: "Hundreds of people have witnessed that Uchiha Madara died under my innate invisible sword energy, and his bones were crushed to ashes and his body was gone."

"That's right."

Fugaku nodded and said: "But..."

"But Madara may be able to use the forbidden technique Izanaki to escape?" Uchiha Mai asked.

Izanaki is the ultimate illusion that can only be used by the three-magatama Sharingan. It has the ability to rewrite reality within a certain period of time and delete all the reality that is not beneficial to oneself.

Whether it is his own death or the death of his clan members, even if his bones are crushed to dust, he can correct the reality to the moment recorded by Izanaki after a certain period of time.

This is the most perfect illusion, powerful enough to deceive the world, but the price is that the eye that uses Izanaki will be blind forever.

The Uchiha clan used this technique to reverse the trend of external battles, and then used the power of this technique to fight within the clan, but for some reason, it was listed as a forbidden technique hundreds of years ago.

"You know?"

Fugaku was slightly startled, and then reacted. Uchiha Mai never fought unprepared battles. He had a wealth of theoretical knowledge and had read all the classics in the family.

"Uchiha Madara didn't have time to use Izanaki?" Fugaku asked, this was the only possibility he could imagine.

"No, he did." Uchiha Mai shook his head.

After Susanoo was destroyed by the Six Paths Five Wheels and the Kurikara Celestial Phenomenon, Madara realized that he was lagging behind and decisively used Izanaki.

Uchiha Mai's vision and hearing were so sharp that she could see the patterns on the wings of a fly several kilometers away and hear how many times a fly vibrated its wings in one second.

Madara used the Izanaki technique, and Uchiha Mai knew it from the beginning.

Fugaku looked puzzled, not understanding what Uchiha Mai meant by this move.

Uchiha Mai thought for a moment, and said earnestly: "Uncle Fugaku, Madara is better for us and me if he is alive than dead.

You know, my goal has always been to take back what belongs to me and make Uchiha the leader of the ninja world.

But human nature is mean. You go to several major ninja villages in person, subdue them and promise them huge benefits, but they will resent you.

No matter how well you do after the unification of the ninja world, they will remember that you forced them to subdue them, and this resistance will take several generations to eliminate.

But if they come to you for help when they encounter a catastrophe, no matter how bad the conditions you promise them are, they will be grateful to you.

Because you are a better choice, if they don't choose you, they can only die."

Fugaku was thoughtful.

Uchiha Mai is going to play the good cop and the bad cop, treating Madara as a chess piece, forcing Madara to play the good cop, while he himself plays the bad cop.

The risk is greater, the benefit is greater, and the future trouble is smaller.

The only problem is that Uchiha Mai needs to have the strength to suppress Madara no matter how Madara struggles.

After thinking for a while, Fugaku felt that the risk was not that great and that Mai's strength was enough. So he put the matter in his heart and said nothing more.

A few hours later.

In the center of the battlefield, the old and weak Uchiha Madara, covered with wounds, suddenly reappeared from the void, fell to the ground with his hands covering his chest.

"Ahem..."

Uchiha Madara coughed lightly and felt that his physical condition was worse than he thought. The three magatama in his left eye also turned gray and lost its power.

Madara used Izanaki when he felt bad after Susanoo was broken by the Kurikara Tensei. At that time, he had been seriously injured.

During the battle, no matter how badly injured he was, Madara could hold on with one breath and exert his ultimate combat power.

After the battle, there was no need to hold on, otherwise it would be very troublesome to recuperate.

Black Zetsu and White Zetsu quietly drilled out from the ground and stood on Madara's left and right, acting as left and right protectors.

"You look a little embarrassed, Madara-sama."

While pretending to be concerned, Black Zetsu was thinking in his heart whether to switch to Uchiha Mai's side.

Old Madara is no match for Uchiha Mai, and it is estimated that even after he recovers to his peak, it is still a bit uncertain, mainly because Uchiha Mai is too unfathomable.

Every time he attacks, his strength will be improved compared to the last time, and the improvement of strength has never stopped. And in this battle with Madara, Uchiha Mai does not seem to be completely serious.

Only when Madara recovers to his peak and retrieves the Samsara Eye deposited with Nagato, can he be sure to win over Uchiha Mai at this moment.

It is only Uchiha Mai at this moment, and no one can guarantee whether Uchiha Mai's strength will improve again in a few months.

Black Zetsu, who is determined to resurrect his mother Kaguya, has already made up his mind.

Of course, Madara is still a better choice for now. After all, he is the real owner of the Samsara Eye. After becoming the Six Paths Jinchūriki, his [quality] will be higher than others.

"Ahem..."

Banara coughed twice again, not caring about Black Zetsu's impoliteness, and said softly: "I miscalculated, Mai's strength is much better than I thought.

Perhaps only when I recover to my peak and regain control of the Nine-Tails can I fight him."

It's just a battle, and it's not a sure win.

"Do you mean to continue to seek the possibility of taking back the Nine-Tails?" White Zetsu asked tentatively.

To be honest, even if White Zetsu is a bit silly, he doesn't quite agree with the strategy of continuing to target the Nine-Tails.

Kushina has passed the delivery period, and the effectiveness of the seal will gradually recover. Even if Madara is the owner of the Nine-Tails, there is no way to forcibly summon the Nine-Tails from the complete seal.

And Namikaze Minato can use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

So in the future, no matter whether Uchiha Mai is in Konoha or the Hidden Mist Village, once Konoha is attacked, Namikaze Minato will have a way to bring Uchiha Mai back to Konoha in a short time.

If you want to take back the Nine-Tails, you must pass Uchiha Mai.

At present, it is difficult for Madara to beat Uchiha Mai.

"Of course not."

After being beaten, Uchiha Madara became cautious and said softly: "My strategy needs to be adjusted.

The most important thing now is to use the Outer Path Demon Statue to repair my injuries and restore my lost vitality.

Then take back the eyes stored in Nagato, use the power of the Hungry Ghost Path to devour some vitality, and restore the body to a more ideal state as much as possible.

Then capture the tailed beast and fight Uchiha Mai."

This ninja is obviously very strong but overly cautious.

After suffering a setback, Madara was not discouraged, but made a feasible plan to recapture the Nine-Tails and defeat Uchiha Mai.

The first step is to recover from injuries and replenish vitality, which will take about several months.

When people reach old age, they have no choice but to force themselves to regain their vigor just for a moment of pleasure. It is reasonable that they need to take several months to make up for the loss of their bodies.

Then go to Nagato to get the eyes back.

Madara has left a back-up in the Rinnegan, and can use secret techniques at any time when needed to seize control of Nagato's body through the Rinnegan.

But because Nagato had been living too comfortably recently, he didn't suddenly reach the limit to fully develop his samsara eye.

Even if such a Samsara Eye is retrieved, a large amount of life force and chakra will be consumed to fully awaken it.

Madara, who is old and frail, obviously cannot satisfy the wolf-like reincarnation eye.

If you want to get back the complete Rinnegan Eye, you need to put pressure on Nagato, so that Nagato can squeeze out his life force as much as possible during the battle, use the Rinnegan Eye, and develop the Rinnegan Eye.

Nowadays, the only people in the ninja world who can put that kind of pressure on Nagato are Uchiha Mai and Madara.

It is obviously impossible for Uchiha Mai to take action against Nagato, so Madara needs to go into battle himself.

After underestimating Uchiha Mai and getting a severe beating, Madara became more cautious. In order not to overturn while stimulating Nagato and forcing Nagato to develop the Rinnegan, it was necessary to allow his body to recover as much as possible.

"No one is wiser than you." Hei Jue complimented.

"Okay, stop flattering me and go back to the Country of Rain first."

Madara waved his hand and led the black and white demons back to the underground cave in the Kingdom of Rain, connected the pipe of the heretic demon to his body, and fell into a deep sleep.

In the dark cave, Hei Ze stared at the sleeping Madara thoughtfully.

Although there is a possibility that Madara's boat will capsize now, Madara is still the first choice as the medium for his mother's return.

Madara has the highest compatibility with the Rinnegan Eye. Secondly, Madara's theoretical winning rate is also higher than Uchiha Mai. Madara who takes back the Rinnegan Eye will be several times more powerful than he is now.

It seems that it is necessary to do something to improve the success rate of some plans.

…

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

On the other side, after Minato Namikaze, Mai Uchiha and others returned to Konoha, they immediately announced the news that Orochimaru had betrayed Konoha and became Konoha's S-level rebel ninja.

At the same time, fourteen jounin were sent out, with each team of seven being sent to the entire ninja world to hunt down Orochimaru.

What Orochimaru and Danzo did touched Konoha's bottom line, and the evidence was conclusive that they tortured people in the same village and conducted experiments on living subjects.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, out of consideration for his master-disciple relationship, allowed Orochimaru to run away as much as possible, but he still needed to send an elite team to hunt down Orochimaru afterwards.

There was no way, with more than a hundred Jonin-level witnesses, there was no way this scandal could be suppressed.

If Orochimaru is not pursued, people's hearts will be dispersed.

Without letting masters like Hatake Sakumo, Minato, and Uchiha Mai personally take action, this is the limit of what Sarutobi Hiruzen can do.

Even so, Orochimaru was still being hunted down in a panic.
