Chapter 65 The shocked Konoha high-ranking officials: Kamizuki is the second Uchiha Madara!
Danzo heard the report from his subordinates.
Even Orochimaru couldn't defeat Shingetsu, which made him increasingly angry.
He sat in Gen's temporary command post with a gloomy expression, his arms wrapped in bandages throbbing with pain, and he felt extremely agitated.
A series of defeats, huge losses, and public humiliation—now even a powerhouse of Orochimaru's caliber can't do anything to that damned Uchiha Shingetsu!?
"Uchiha...Kamizuki!"
"Could his strength have really improved by leaps and bounds in the past few days, to the point that he was able to defeat Orochimaru?" Danzo's face darkened and looked extremely ugly at the thought.
After all, when he fought Shenyue before, Shenyue was indeed very powerful.
But he's only slightly stronger than a regular Jonin.
At most, relying on the insight granted by the Sharingan, one could take advantage of his carelessness and lack of awareness to slightly ambush him.
"His strength has improved by leaps and bounds in just a few days. How could this happen? Could it be that Orochimaru is up to something behind the scenes, trying to monopolize the Sharingan?"
Danzo then thought that perhaps it was just a rumor, or that Orochimaru had not gone all out.
After all, Orochimaru is one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, and his strength is unfathomable. How could he easily fail against a ten-year-old child?
Perhaps there are other hidden details in the battle, or perhaps Shingetsu exaggerated.
He decided that he would also go and take a look.
Just then, his subordinates reported that the Third Hokage and two advisors were also on their way to the scene. He could go and verify for himself what Uchiha Shingetsu had done, and also observe the Third Hokage's reaction.
What exactly happened?
Thinking of this, Danzo immediately set off. Sure enough, on his way there, the Third Hokage and two advisors arrived with their entourage.
The four met.
After a brief conversation, the group was still surprised that Shingetsu had managed to defeat Orochimaru.
The Third Hokage frowned, his worries deepening.
The two advisors, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, exchanged a glance, their faces filled with suspicion.
After all, Orochimaru was one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, and his strength was astonishing.
Even if a ten-year-old Uchiha boy is highly talented, it would be a miracle if he could escape unscathed from his attack, let alone defeat him.
The two advisors, in particular, suspected that it was all Shingetsu's doing, that he had fabricated the story of Orochimaru attacking him to cover up his sinister intentions.
Koharu Utatane said coldly, "Hiruzen, this is too much of a coincidence. Uchiha Shingetsu has always acted unconventionally. Who knows if this is a scheme he orchestrated to create chaos or further enhance his own prestige? Orochimaru's whereabouts are elusive; how could he possibly infiltrate the core area of Konoha so easily?"
Mitokado Homura nodded in agreement: "That's right, this matter needs to be investigated thoroughly. We can't just believe the Uchiha's side of the story."
The Third Hokage was helpless in the face of their deep-seated prejudice against the Uchiha clan.
He sighed, "Let's go check out the scene first. Shisui and Itachi's report should be accurate."
"Okay!" Danzo, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu also nodded.
The four of them arrived together at the scene of the battle between Shingetsu and Orochimaru.
The four were all taken aback when they saw the horrific scene of destruction caused by powerful ninjutsu.
"What terrifying destructive power!"
"This is a sight that only occurs when extremely high-level ninjutsu clashes!"
All four of them were shocked by the terrifying sight before them.
Looking around, large areas of the ground were scorched and cracked, bearing the marks of being burned by high temperatures and torn apart by strong winds. The air was filled with the smell of burnt and fishy stench, and scattered with a large number of snake remains that had been burned to ash and were still faintly discernible.
"These are... the remains of snakes, and the sheer number of them is astonishing!?"
After careful observation, they were absolutely certain that there were indeed traces of Orochimaru's fighting.
The unique snake remains, the cracks caused by snakes emerging from the ground, and the lingering, chilling aura of chakra in the air.
They were all very familiar with them.
This is indeed Orochimaru's ninjutsu.
"Such a massive scale is something only seen when Orochimaru unleashes his Manda Rasengan!"
"To actually get him to use this move, just how much has Shingetsu's strength grown?" The Third Hokage, pipe in mouth, quickly analyzed.
"That's not all. After Orochimaru used this ninjutsu, it seems that Shingetsu also used an extremely powerful ninjutsu to break it!"
"The power and range of that move were also extremely astonishing!"
Looking at the terrifying battlefield scene that almost covered half of the training ground.
The four experienced individuals could tell that this was no ordinary snake-based ninjutsu.
It was then broken by Shingetsu using a fire-style ninjutsu with astonishing power and a terrifying range.
That terrifying scene demonstrated the astonishing range and terrifying power of the ninjutsu that Shingetsu used.
"It seems that only Madara Uchiha could unleash a fire-style ninjutsu of this scale back then!" Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, upon seeing this scene, suddenly recalled seeing a description of it when they were young.
One of the two founders of Konoha.
The legendary ninja Madara Uchiha possessed fire-style abilities that were devastating, far exceeding the imagination of ordinary people.
"Uchiha Madara, could it be that Kamizuki was really someone he trained? Then why is he still targeting the Uchiha?" Danzo's face darkened.
He knew he had mistaken Obito for Madara.
They know more than the average person.
They were directly led astray by Mitokado Emi and Utatane Koharu's thinking.
"The terror doesn't stop there!" The Third Hokage crouched down, picked up a piece of stone whose edges had been melted into a glassy state by the high temperature, but whose interior remained hard, and carefully sensed the residual chakra nature on it. He said in a deep voice, "The scorching and violent fire release, the sharp and spreading wind release, the two residual chakra natures are intertwined, almost simultaneously. This is by no means a simple sequential release, but more like the prototype of a composite ninjutsu."
"Even his chakra is enormous."
Mitokado Homura, feeling the lingering intense heat in the air, said gravely, "To withstand a combined elemental ninjutsu of such scale and power, and to directly shatter Orochimaru's Manda Rasengan, his chakra reserves are far beyond those of an ordinary Jonin. Danzo, your previous information about his insufficient chakra reserves seems inaccurate!"
"But before that, his chakra really wasn't much!" Danzo's face grew even uglier, a cold glint flashing in his single eye. He couldn't explain why Shingetsu's chakra had increased so dramatically in such a short time; it was completely beyond his expectations and control.
The four men fell silent as they analyzed the situation. The irrefutable evidence at the scene left them no choice but to believe it.
Uchiha Shingetsu, this ten-year-old boy, not only actually forced Orochimaru to retreat, but also displayed an astonishing talent for complex ninjutsu and an enormous amount of chakra. This can no longer be described as mere genius.
Danzo was the first to speak, breaking the silence.
"If Uchiha Shingetsu isn't controlled properly, he could become the next Uchiha Madara." His voice was icy, filled with undisguised fear and killing intent.
