What does it feel like to face an eighty-meter Susanoo? Second Body just wanted to say, isn't it just as tall as a twenty-story building? I can jump that high in one leap.
However, when the eighty-meter Susanoo stepped down, Second Body realized that relying solely on her Taijutsu, it would be difficult to defeat Chiri, who could maintain Susanoo for a long time.
If she used Ninjutsu, half of the Uchiha Clan compound, which was already damaged, would likely be beyond saving, so she immediately gestured to Uchiha Naori to stop the fight.
Although Second Body was just a tiny figure, Chiri, standing in the crystal on Susanoo's forehead, still noticed Uchiha Rei thanks to her Sharingan's vision.
Watching Uchiha Rei flailing and hopping around, Chiri could no longer maintain her composure and burst out laughing, mainly because Second Body looked too adorable.
As Susanoo gradually dissipated, Chiri only then noticed that her house and the other courtyards in the compound had been reduced to ruins, and she instantly felt a bit flustered and guilty.
Second Body, however, felt nothing, mainly because all this was caused by Chiri; the powerful Susanoo arrows were responsible for everything.
Second Body looked at the Uchiha Clan members gathering in the distance and immediately wanted to slip away, or she would be left behind to clean up the mess.
But Uchiha Naori had noticed Uchiha Rei trying to sneak off early and immediately grabbed Second Body's arm. If she was leaving, they had to leave together; she couldn't let an old person like her suffer here alone.
"Hey, Second Body, you wouldn't want your grandma, at her old age, to be toiling away miserably here, right? Wuwuwu~ How could you be so heartless..."
Uchiha Naori looked up, wanting to see Second Body's expression, but found that what she had grabbed was just a rabbit clone; Second Body's true body had already slipped away.
"Lady Chiri! How could you wage such a large-scale battle within the Uchiha Clan compound! And even use Susanoo! If you're not careful, many people could be injured or killed!"
Uchiha Yashiro was practically fuming, looking at the clan compound, which was even more dilapidated than during the civil war, his anger became uncontrollable.
Chiri was a bit embarrassed. She couldn't very well say that she got carried away and forgot to hold back, could she? "Well, Yashiro, I just wanted to test Second Body's strength, that's all. As for compensation, go find Second Body; she has money!"
Uchiha Rei's escape made Chiri immediately shift the blame. Second Body was so rich; it seemed reasonable for her to show some filial piety to her grandma, right?
"Lady Chiri! I saw that all this destruction was caused by you! Either pay up, or put in the effort, you decide!"
Uchiha Shoya and Setsuna arrived. They had already dispatched some Uchiha who could use Earth Release to level the ground, planning to have Second Body come and use the Wood Release: Four-Pillar House Technique.
"Lady Chiri? Where did Second Body hide? Quickly, have her use Wood Release to fix the houses!"
Back then, the houses of both the Uchiha and Senju clans were built by the First Hokage using Wood Release, so naturally, Wood Release was needed to restore them now.
"Well, Second Body abandoned me, a lonely old woman, and ran away. Since you want Second Body to use Ninjutsu, I'll go catch her now. You all keep busy!"
Uchiha Naori found an excuse and immediately disappeared from their sight in a few leaps. She had no intention of revealing that she had already learned Wood Release.
The great battle with Chiri's Susanoo today gave Second Body a lot of experience in dealing with Susanoo. It could be said that even a Perfect Susanoo posed no threat to her.
However, if it was a three-thousand-meter Susanoo like Otsutsuki Hagoromo's, then she wouldn't say anything.
Returning to her home, she ignored Pakura's astonished gaze and gulped down several mouthfuls of tea from the teapot.
Fighting and then running away was too exciting, but she wasn't safe at home either. She planned to find a place to lay low, or that old man Shoya would annoy her to death.
However, before she could even think about where to hide, she was informed by an Anbu, who had arrived early, to go to the Hokage Office, saying that the Hokage wanted to see her.
Second Body had no choice but to obediently follow them. Needless to say, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also there to hold her accountable. He couldn't control Chiri, but he could certainly control Second Body.
"Teacher, you called me?" Second Body pushed open the door and saw Hiruzen Sarutobi, Utatane Koharu, and Homura Mitokado, with only Danzo, leaning on a cane, missing.
Second Body guessed that they were going to put her, Uchiha Rei, on trial! Damn it, she was just a victim, and just a child!
"Uchiha Rei! You are too reckless!" Utatane Koharu's face was flushed with anger. The towering Susanoo had caused a commotion at the hospital, and after she calmed things down, she immediately came to complain.
Second Body looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi. The old man just smoked, pretending not to see Second Body's gaze, while Homura Mitokado was chuckling.
Thanks to Susanoo, some deeply hidden spies also revealed themselves, wanting to transmit information, and he caught them red-handed.
"Uh, it's noon already, have the elders eaten? If not, how about I treat you all to an all-you-can-eat hotpot?"
Second Body did not answer Utatane Koharu's accusation. She had the guts to say that in front of Chiri; just see if she gets beaten up. She was just bullying her because she was insignificant.
"That's good then. We can talk while we eat, but Second Body, you'll need to reserve a private room."
Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pipe. He himself didn't intend to make things difficult for his disciple. To be honest, even if the three old geezers attacked together, they might not be able to defeat Uchiha Rei.
This was Hiruzen Sarutobi's intuition, honed through years of combat. When facing Uchiha Rei, he felt a sensation akin to his twenty-year-old self facing Senju Hashirama.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's intuition was extremely keen and useful. He became the Third Hokage precisely because of this intuition. When the Second Hokage asked who would stay behind, he sensed there was no danger in staying behind, so he was the first to volunteer.
"Well, I knew where Second Body ran off to. So, you three old fogies are holding her accountable, huh?"
Uchiha Naori walked in. The Anbu at the door couldn't stop her at all; they were hypnotized with just a glance.
"Uchiha Naori! You and Uchiha Rei acted recklessly and caused chaos within the Village. What are your intentions?"
Seeing Uchiha Naori, who was a decade older than herself yet still a beautiful flower, Utatane Koharu was fiercely jealous. She, too, used to be the most beautiful in her squad back in the day.
"Well, I recall that the agreement signed by the various clans back then stated that matters occurring within each clan were unrelated to the Village, right? May I ask if I fought outside the clan compound? Or is this old hag trying to interfere with the clans' internal autonomy?"
Uchiha Naori's aura was quite powerful. She walked in front of Second Body, then stroked Second Body's cowlick while questioning Utatane Koharu.
"This, this... I have no right to interfere with your fight within the clan compound, but you affected the outside of the Village."
"So, you're saying that sparring within our own clan can't scare people outside the Village, right? Well, there's no helping that. The commotion from clan sparring will always affect people in the Village. How about you elders put up barriers around each clan's compound?"
"Ahem, alright, Uchiha Naori's sparring within the clan, though it startled the people in the Village, had no adverse consequences, so we won't pursue it further."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped in to mediate, otherwise, if these two grandmother and granddaughter started fighting together, the three of them might not survive.
