Chapter 128: Susanoo vs. Susanoo — The Uchiha Clan Is Doomed!
From atop a distant tree, Oborotsuki lounged casually on an outstretched branch, watching the battle between Fugaku and Shisui with keen interest.
Both men were far stronger than expected.
Shisui's mastery of the Body Flicker Technique was flawless—no surprise there.
But what truly caught Oborotsuki off guard was that Fugaku also possessed this space-time ninjutsu.
Right now, the two were still probing each other's depths, yet their exchanges were already spectacular.
These two represented the absolute pinnacle of the current Uchiha clan's strength.
Every move, every strike was concise, ruthless, and aimed at ending the fight in a single decisive blow—no wasted flair.
Still, judging from their current state, this battle wouldn't be decided anytime soon.
"Damn it! Shisui, how dare you raise your hand against the clan head? Are you trying to rebel?!"
"This brat is a traitor—helping outsiders against us Uchiha!"
"Stop this at once, Shisui!! You've gone too far!!"
"This is outrageous!!"
"…"
All around, the elite Uchiha clansmen erupted in furious shouts as they watched Shisui clash with Fugaku.
Itachi stood frozen in awkward helplessness, unsure which side he should support.
After a brief exchange, one clansman rushed over with urgent news.
"Lord Fugaku! Konoha's ANBU have mobilized—they're surrounding and capturing the women, children, and elderly who were evacuating the village!!"
"Many have already been arrested!"
"Furthermore, Root forces led by Danzō, along with ninja from the other major clans, are heading straight here. It looks like they intend to deal with us!!"
The report hit Fugaku like a thunderbolt. His eyes sharpened even further.
He glared at Shisui and demanded:
"You really leaked everything?"
"Lord Fugaku, I only did this because I don't want the Uchiha clan to keep walking down the wrong path…"
"The wrong path? You've got some nerve, Shisui!"
"The Uchiha clan is simply resisting the unfair treatment forced upon us! Having powerful kekkei genkai that can control tailed beasts is not our crime!"
"Why should the village make us take the blame without solid evidence? Why allow villagers to point fingers and insult us??"
"That's right! Why should Sunagakure's problems be dumped on the Uchiha clan? We didn't do anything!!"
"Whoever controlled the One-Tail to attack Sunagakure should be held responsible—not us!"
"The higher-ups are incompetent and cowardly—they only know how to bully their own people. It's time they stepped down!!"
"Let the Uchiha clan rise to rule Konoha!!"
"…"
Hearing Shisui's attempt to dissuade Fugaku, the surrounding Uchiha clansmen exploded in rage.
One after another, they hurled criticisms and condemnation at Shisui.
With the full support and understanding of the clan, Fugaku's resolve only grew stronger.
He was now more determined than ever to lead the Uchiha in rebellion and bring the clan to the pinnacle of power in Konoha.
His attacks became faster, his gaze colder.
The man before him was no longer a clansman, no longer a subordinate—he was now an enemy of the Uchiha clan.
"Shisui, stand down! You are no match for me!"
Fugaku barked coldly.
"Lord Fugaku, everything I'm doing is for the village—for the sake of sparing Konoha from the horrors of war… The one who needs to stop is you!"
Shisui met him blow for blow, refusing to yield.
BOOM—
After a fierce clash of chakra, smoke and dust filled the battlefield as two colossal chakra giants rose simultaneously.
On the left stood a deep-blue armored titan, fully clad in chakra armor and wielding a massive sword and shield.
On the right was a green Susanoo—Shisui's.
"It's Susanoo!"
"Lord Fugaku's chakra aura has become so powerful…"
"That kid Shisui… I never imagined he was hiding such terrifying strength!"
"Damn it—they both have similar power. This is trouble!"
"…"
Seeing two towering Susanoo appear at once, the Uchiha clansmen were utterly stunned.
Whether Fugaku's or Shisui's, this was the first time most of them had witnessed Susanoo with their own eyes.
Even Itachi was overwhelmed by this power that surpassed ordinary human imagination.
At the same moment, he finally understood the inevitable outcome of this fight—and felt a wave of fear.
Judging from the overwhelming strength displayed by his father Fugaku and his most respected brother Shisui—if they refused to stop and kept fighting,
The most likely result was mutual destruction—or even both dying!
"Father…"
"Brother Shisui…"
"Please… stop fighting!"
At only six years old, Itachi began to plead.
He desperately hoped Fugaku and Shisui would stop immediately.
But his plea only earned a harsh rebuke from Fugaku:
"Itachi, Uchiha men do not shed tears lightly!"
"If you want to cry, go hide and cry your fill!!"
At this moment, Fugaku was clearly consumed by rage.
After sternly reprimanding Itachi, he immediately commanded his Susanoo to launch a new wave of attacks against Shisui.
"Tsk tsk…"
"They're even bringing out Susanoo now."
"Looks like the Uchiha clan is finished tonight."
From his vantage point, Oborotsuki shook his head with a meaningful smile.
His powerful chakra sensing had already detected a massive number of presences rushing toward this location.
These were Konoha's elite shinobi.
There were ordinary ninja and genius jōnin from civilian backgrounds, ANBU specialists with secret techniques,
And the clan heads of Konoha's great families—each personally leading their own forces.
Under these circumstances, with their strongest fighter—Fugaku—pinned down by Shisui and unable to break free to help the others,
The Uchiha clan's only possible outcome was already decided.
Unless a miracle occurred.
For example—if someone intervened right now in the fight between Fugaku and Shisui and stopped Shisui from continuing to oppose Fugaku.
"But someone capable of doing that probably doesn't exist…"
Oborotsuki muttered to himself with amusement.
BOOM rumble rumble…
A violent explosion roared from ahead, accompanied by a terrifying shockwave.
The earth and sky trembled. Trees and grass in all directions were uprooted and flung away.
Even the spot where Oborotsuki stood wasn't spared.
Yet no matter how wildly sand, stone, and broken branches flew, the tree Oborotsuki sat on remained completely unmoved—like a blade of grass standing firm in the storm.
Oborotsuki himself seemed fused with the branch, untouched by the violent shockwave in the slightest.
