Intercepting Danzo

Hearing this, Obito let out a sigh of relief.

The cold and mysterious girl before him had been introduced by his elder brother, Yuma. She was a powerful Uchiha warrior who had been sealed away by the Senju hundreds of years ago. While he knew she was strong, he had never truly grasped the extent of her power.

But now…

As he watched the dozens of massive black flame tentacles, he finally understood. The villain before them, now entangled by these flames, had no chance of escape.

Worried about his grandmother inside the house, Obito clenched his teeth and said, "Senior Hikaru, I need to check on my grandma first!"

Uchiha Hikaru sighed helplessly. "Obito-kun… sometimes you need to use your brain. Since I'm here, don't you think I've already made arrangements for her?"

"Huh?"

"Are you an idiot? If your grandmother were still in that house, don't you think she would've come out to see all this fighting?"

"But—"

Before Obito could finish, Uchiha raised a hand to stop him. "Obviously, I sent a Shadow Clone to evacuate her safely. Now, get out of the way—the enemy is about to fight to the death."

Hearing this, Obito turned his gaze back toward the enemy, still struggling within the black flames. The masked figure's Sharingan glowed crimson, a clear sign that he was using a vast amount of pupil power.

At this moment—

Uchiha Hikaru and her opponent were about to engage in a deadly battle.

Others might not realize it, but Obito knew that his own Mangekyō Sharingan's ability, Kamui, lasted for only five minutes. Yet, the girl before him had been sustaining Amaterasu and Flame Control for well over a minute already.

As someone taken from a parallel world by Uchiha Madara, Obito had studied many Uchiha clan records. He knew Amaterasu consumed an immense amount of chakra. Adding Flame Control to it only intensified the strain.

By all logic, if Hikaru had been recklessly using her eye techniques, her vision should have already started to blur, and tears of blood should be flowing down her cheeks.

Yet… she seemed completely unfazed.

Obito clenched his fists. I can't afford to assume she's like other Uchiha who go blind from overusing their abilities. I need to treat her as someone enhanced with White Zetsu's cells—someone immune to the usual risks of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

If Hikaru could read minds, she would've applauded him. Unlike the clueless Obito, he was at least intelligent.

Hikaru knew her own power well. She wasn't just any Uchiha—she was a decisive weapon feared by her clan.

Why?

Simple.

Her Mangekyō Sharingan would never lose its light.

During her battles with the Senju clan, she had used her unique eye technique, Eight Thousand Spears, to absorb vast amounts of chakra from her enemies. Over time, she had siphoned an unimaginable amount of chakra from Senju warriors, causing her reserves to swell to levels rivaling the tailed beasts.

The slight blurring of her vision had vanished without anyone noticing.

With her normal sight fully restored, the enhancements to her Sharingan were even more staggering. The output of her pupil power and the strength of her Susanoo had undergone a drastic transformation.

This was why she had become a weapon of destruction.

With unwavering confidence, Hikaru watched as her opponent summoned his own Susanoo. Without hesitation, she stepped forward.

So what if he has Susanoo?

If I mark him, he's finished.

Of course, she knew breaking through an enemy's Susanoo was no easy feat.

"Hah! Let's see whose Susanoo is stronger!" she roared, gathering her immense chakra.

In an instant, blood-red and deep-blue chakra surged into the sky.

Two colossal warriors stood at the heart of Konoha, towering over the Uchiha district.

At that moment, Uchiha Yuma, who had already secured victory elsewhere, retracted his Ōtsutsuki transformation.

When he sensed the emergence of two Susanoo within the village, his eyes narrowed.

"Two Susanoo? And one of them is unfamiliar? What's going on?"

For a moment, Yuma was utterly perplexed.

With Uchiha Madara dead by his hands and Obito never kidnapped, who could possibly wield this unfamiliar Susanoo?

Focusing his chakra perception, he scanned the entire village, quickly locking onto a powerful presence within the Forest of Death.

His eyes widened in shock. "What the hell is that? That chakra is almost as strong as Madara's!"

But something felt… wrong.

"Why does this chakra feel so lifeless? Could it be…?"

A horrifying thought struck Yuma.

Impure World Reincarnation.

Deep in the Forest of Death, Yuma detected three chakra signatures. Two were relatively weak, but the third was disturbingly powerful.

After analyzing them carefully, he ignored the weakest one and focused on the other.

A cold smirk spread across his lips.

"Oh, Danzo… so it's you."

His suspicions were all but confirmed. Danzo had somehow obtained and resurrected Senju Hashirama through the forbidden Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Yuma didn't know how to perform the jutsu himself, but he had studied its mechanics extensively—far more than even Orochimaru at this stage.

The implications were clear.

Danzo was planning something big.

Without hesitation, Yuma located the nearest Flying Thunder God mark in the Forest of Death. He had left countless seals throughout Konoha, including in the village training grounds within the forest.

At that moment, he silently thanked himself for his habit of marking locations wherever he went.

Sensing multiple Flying Thunder God seals close to Danzo's location, Yuma formed a quick hand seal and created a Wood Clone.

"Go to the village and notify all key personnel," he instructed.

His clone raised an eyebrow. "What's your plan?"

Yuma's smirk widened. "Danzo is about to be publicly humiliated. I want to see the look on his face when he realizes it."

With that, Yuma vanished in an instant, flashing toward his target.
