Chapter 122

"Nani?! Wood Release!!"

Everyone looked at Toki in shock.

Even Ōnoki hadn't expected him to actually make a move.

The Fourth Raikage, A, roared in anger.

"Who's afraid of you?! I've had enough of you!"

Silver lightning erupted from his entire body as he instantly activated his Lightning Chakra Mode.

"Four-Fingered Hell Stab—Piercing Hand!"

A's hand turned into a blade, slashing at the massive wooden arm rushing toward him.

At that moment, Toki's Mangekyō Sharingan activated.

The yin-yang fish in his right eye spun wildly, converting his ocular power into Yang Release, which he injected into the Wood Release.

From his left eye, blood and tears trickled down as a red chakra cloak enveloped the wooden arm.

"Bestial Submission!"

For the first time, the ninja world witnessed a low-end version of the Susanoo!

Boom!

A was instantly pinned down by the massive wooden arm wrapped in Susanoo's chakra.

The entire room fell into stunned silence.

Everyone gasped, staring at Toki in disbelief.

"Mangekyō Sharingan… and Wood Release…?"

Ōnoki's face was filled with terror as he stared at Toki—

At that moment, the images of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju overlapped with him.

Suddenly, several Kumogakure Anbu appeared and charged at Toki.

"Release the Raikage now!"

But before they could get close—

Several members of the Saber clan appeared, intercepting the Anbu.

"Go in and calm down."

A swirling distortion spread out, and in the blink of an eye, the Anbu were sucked into the Kamui dimension.

The daimyōs all stood up, shouting in alarm.

"Uchiha clan leader, what are you trying to do?!"

Toki looked at them with utter disdain, sneering.

"I'm just giving you all some advice. It's not that I can't start a fight—I'm just too lazy to."

"The Fire Nation's daimyō colluded with the Sarutobi clan in an attempt to target Konoha and us Uchiha. This is a personal grudge—it has nothing to do with any of you."

"But if you insist on opposing us Uchiha…"

Dozens of Uchiha clan members emerged from the Kamui dimension, their Mangekyō Sharingan gleaming ominously.

Toki spoke in a cold, indifferent tone:

"You might want to ask your own bodyguards if they can protect you from assassination."

The daimyōs and nobles paled.

This was an outright threat.

But they were helpless.

With these strange and terrifying abilities, even if they all united against the Uchiha, they couldn't possibly wipe them out completely.

And if they failed—

They'd have to face the wrath of dozens of Mangekyō Sharingan… and the most terrifying space-time ninjutsu.

This was the kind of nightmare that had haunted the nobles since the days of Senju Hashirama.

Back when the shinobi village system was first established, they had felt just as powerless.

A mix of emotions flickered across their faces.

Finally, the Daimyō of the Land of Lightning spoke first, trying to ease the situation.

"Clan Leader Uchiha, you must be joking. The internal affairs of the Fire Nation have nothing to do with us in the Land of Lightning. Could you please release our Raikage now?"

Toki glanced at him before casually raising Susanoo's arm.

By now, the Fourth Raikage, A, had already lost consciousness.

Unlike the future, 13 years later, where he would become a powerful Raikage capable of subduing even a perfect Eight-Tails Jinchūriki—

Right now, even though he was stronger than when he had just inherited the title, he was still only slightly above his predecessor.

Toki waved his hand, releasing the Kumogakure Anbu as well.

They hurriedly carried the unconscious Raikage away, their eyes locked warily on Toki.

Toki swept his gaze across the gathered leaders—powerful figures who represented most of the ninja world.

Then, he sneered.

"Remember this—our Uchiha clan loves peace."

"I sincerely"
