In this battle, the Uchiha Clan no longer had other teammates. Around them were only members of their own clan.
"Where the leaves of Konoha dance, the fire will never die out."
"Konoha..."
Fugaku's eyes held a hint of sadness. The Uchiha Clan and the other ninja clans of Konoha were never enemies, but at this moment, they stood on different sides.
The Uchiha Clan, with a clear conscience, worthy of Konoha.
Facing his old friends, Fugaku could stand up straight and ask if these people had a clear conscience. And what was the reason for their being here?
"Bang!!"
A huge force slammed down. Fugaku's Susanoo raised its hand to block the attack. Dense Chakra erupted from Hyuga Hiashi's body.
Since the arrival of the new age, Hyuga Hiashi's strength had also been rising with the times, but the Uchiha Clan members were far behind.
Fugaku felt his entire body sink. Hyuga Hiashi had actually blocked his Susanoo.
However, this was expected.
"Konoha... is no longer Konoha."
"Konoha was founded by you, led by the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan, but you have long betrayed Konoha."
"Crash!"
Fugaku punched Hiashi. Hiashi's Chakra exploded at that moment, the Chakra wrapped around his hands deflecting Fugaku's attack. His body used the force to move under Fugaku's Susanoo.
"Fugaku, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Eight Trigrams: Heavenly Spin!"
As Heavenly Spin unfolded, a huge hemispherical field expanded from Hiashi's center, tearing everything around it apart layer by layer.
The ground was torn, the air was torn, and even Fugaku's Susanoo was directly torn apart.
"Nonsense?"
Fugaku's face was self-deprecating. Perhaps this was the weakness of the Uchiha Clan.
When Konoha was first established, there were only two forces, the Uchiha Clan and the other ninja clans led by the Senju Clan.
Not long after Konoha was built, the original clan leader, Uchiha Madara, left Konoha. The Uchiha Clan kept their promise and did not leave with Madara, but became a part of Konoha.
With the following wars, the original Senju Clan gradually withdrew from the front lines of Konoha, and the Uchiha Clan could only serve as Konoha's largest ninja clan.
Konoha's largest ninja clan was completely different from their initial position. At the beginning, the Uchiha could even be considered half of Konoha.
But even so, the Uchiha Clan never had any other thoughts. Even if everyone else in Konoha let down the Uchiha Clan, one thing was certain: the Senju Clan never let down the Uchiha Clan.
Even after the Senju Clan was almost gone, the Uchiha Clan still rushed to the front lines.
Then, where the Uchiha danced, Konoha danced. This was the Uchiha, and also Konoha.
So…
"You're the ones talking nonsense!"
Fugaku's aura soared, and his will began to rise to the extreme at that moment. The strength of the Susanoo was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The distorted Chakra solidified, and a huge pressure burst out from the Susanoo's eyes.
As Fugaku's counterattack arrived, Hyuga Hiashi also frowned and quickly avoided Fugaku's attack again.
Afterward, a huge shadow appeared in the sky above Fugaku.
"Multi-Size Technique, Double Drop!"
Akimichi Choza slammed down in his giant form. The difference in strength on this battlefield was too great, and the difference in numbers was too great.
Boom!!
Fugaku's Susanoo was slammed to the ground, the ground cracked, and red sand buried the Susanoo.
Underneath the sand, a hand reached out and grabbed Akimichi Choza's ankle, but Akimichi Choza's shadow moved, wrapping around the Susanoo's hand.
As the red sand fell, Fugaku in the Susanoo was revealed, along with the Susanoo's other hand.
That hand had already formed a hand sign.
"Fire Release: Susanoo Fireball!"
The scorching heat enveloped half of the battlefield in an instant. The sky above the battlefield was filled with distorted flames. Under the firelight, the Marine felt their faces burning hot, and even their hair became curly.
But a barrier appeared in front of Akimichi Choza, blocking Fugaku's attack.
"Is this the power of the Sage? As expected, it's much more convenient than Konoha's ninjutsu."
Fugaku exclaimed. In his peripheral vision, the members of the Uchiha Clan were all being surrounded.
One by one, his clan members' bodies were shattered, and then they slowly revived.
At this time, some ninja were already preparing to seal them.
To reduce casualties, the Konoha ninja alliance was fighting steadily.
Although the Uchiha Clan ninja were remnants of the old era, they were not so easy to deal with.
Of course, what was even more difficult to deal with was not the people themselves, but the hearts of the people, because they were facing their former teammates.
Even though they were now on opposite sides, not to mention Hyuga Hiashi, even Shikaku couldn't face them, let alone say that the Uchiha Clan had done anything to let them down.
"Fugaku, the difference is too big."
"Yeah, how could I not know that."
Hearing Shikaku's words, Fugaku also replied. As another crack appeared in the Susanoo, Fugaku realized that he was about to give out.
But so what?
The Uchiha Clan has never regretted it, never regretted coming to Konoha.
"Let Konoha dance one last time."
"In the name of the Uchiha Clan."
One of Fugaku's eyes slowly closed, and the Susanoo, which was already near destruction, recovered again.
Clan members turned to ashes on the battlefield, sealed away in the encirclement of their former comrades, torn apart under the guns of the Marine…
But Fugaku didn't regret it, and the Uchiha Clan didn't regret it.
"Is this how it ends?"
As the Susanoo shattered again, Fugaku realized that it was time to end it. The end of the Uchiha Clan, no, the end of Konoha.
But…
In Fugaku's blurred vision, he saw the people arriving outside the battlefield. Someone was coming, many people, many people.
"As long as Konoha is still dancing, the fire will not go out…"
Crash!!
The Susanoo was completely shattered by the encirclement of three people, but Fugaku did not meet the next attack, because reinforcements had arrived.
"Hahaha!! Marine, I'm back!"
"These damn Marine, the World Government's dogs."
"Let me show you the power of us pirates."
A large number of pirates appeared outside the battlefield, rushing toward the battlefield.
Among the pirates, some strong ones noticed the situation on the battlefield, saw the Uchiha Clan's battle, and saw those sacrificed Uchiha Clan people.
"What a terrifying fighting will, although their strength isn't very strong."
"Being able to hold on until now is already pretty good. If it weren't for them holding on, we probably wouldn't have been able to gather so many people."
Ross Jess took out a gun from his chest and aimed it at the huge Akimichi Choza in the distance.
The next moment, the fruit ability unfolded, and two dice fell from the sky, forming the domains of two people at that moment.
"Bang!"
The gun fired. In the chaotic battlefield, the shot didn't attract anyone's attention.
After the dice landed, the top sides showed two big "sixes."
Big, meaning luck was on Ross Jess's side. The bigger the number, the better his luck and the worse the opponent's luck.
The bullet passed through many obstacles and finally hit Akimichi Choza's body, but it didn't even break the layer of Chakra on his body.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, a ripple appeared on the Chakra coat. Shikaku looked at the falling bullet, not paying any attention to it.
But the next moment.
"Shikaku…"
Akimichi Choza's painful voice came. The shot had hit the node where his Chakra coat was running.
The next moment, Akimichi Choza's Chakra coat collapsed directly, and the backlash caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood, his entire body falling straight down.
"It's… a Devil Fruit user."
Akimichi Choza spat out another mouthful of blood.
An extremely strange ability, an ability never seen before.
At this time, Shikaku and Hiashi also reacted. Shikaku disappeared from the spot and took over the command of the battlefield, while Hiashi protected Akimichi Choza.
He looked up again, and Fugaku, who was not far away, had disappeared, having been rescued.
Fugaku's blurred vision began to slowly recover. A red-haired girl carried a first aid kit. A large amount of Chakra was emitted from the first aid kit, reaching the girl's gloves.
"There's no big problem, but the eye that was used is unrecoverable. The remaining eye can still maintain its vision."
After so long, Karin had grown into a reliable doctor.
She didn't have much Chakra, but with the special Chakra storage box on her back, Karin still had some medical ninjutsu.
"A member of the Uzumaki Clan?"
Fugaku slowly got up. There was nothing wrong with his body. The problem was with his eyes.
"How did so many people come?"
Fugaku looked at the only familiar face in the crowd. Shisui's face always had a gentle smile, but after so long, Shisui's face had many scars and also carried a story.
"Thanks to Captain Ross Jess and Captain Kagero for being able to gather so many pirates."
Shisui replied. Fugaku followed Shisui's gaze and saw the two great pirates.
He nodded to the two of them to express his gratitude.
Ross Jess also nodded in response.
"You're welcome. Not everyone is willing to help those pirates, but you have the qualification."
Kagero responded.
The pirates were all arrogant and undisciplined. Unless they were recognized by the pirates, those guys would be happy to see the ninja killing each other.
But the Uchiha Clan was definitely a clan that the pirates would look up to.
"Thank you for your praise."
Fugaku didn't have any of the pride of a former clan leader. After dying once, he had changed in some way.
Especially facing the current Konoha, facing all the past conspiracies, he no longer had the strength to maintain that unnecessary pride.
All the sacrifices he had made for Konoha in the past now seemed like nothing but a joke.
As Shanks said, this was actually a reckoning, not just his reckoning, but a reckoning for more people.
These people were all too tired.
"Did Itachi not come?"
Fugaku didn't see Itachi, and he knew that he probably wouldn't see Itachi again in his life.
"Yeah, Itachi is on the other side.
Konoha has other reinforcements. Itachi went there."
Shisui nodded.
Itachi couldn't appear here. Even after this, Itachi could only hide his identity.
The Revolutionary Army didn't care what Itachi had done in the past, but everything Itachi had done wasn't enough to repay with his life. But who should this all be repaid to?
He didn't know. Itachi himself didn't know.
As for clearing his name, that didn't exist. Itachi never thought that he could clear his name. Even if he could, he wouldn't accept that result.
"Prepare to retreat. It's almost time."
Shisui turned his gaze back to the battlefield. Fugaku, who was next to Shisui, watched Shisui, who was no longer naive, and faintly saw Itachi's shadow on Shisui.
At this time, the original chaos on the battlefield had slowly begun to calm down. The battle between the Marine and the pirates began to become intense.
Many Devil Fruit users were able to play a certain role on the battlefield, but Devil Fruit users were not only on the pirate side, but also had more Devil Fruit users on the Konoha side and more in number.
As for Shisui and Ross Jess, they didn't attack. Their role was more to take charge of the overall situation.
"Are you starting to retreat now?"
Kagero cast a puzzled look. Ross Jess, who was next to him, shook his head. He didn't understand why they had to retreat.
Shisui hadn't experienced any big battlefield battles, but after being on Shanks's ship for so long, he could see more things outside the battlefield.
"Konoha's goals are different from ours. We can sacrifice ourselves, but they can't. Immediately order a retreat."
"Captain Ross, assist me."
After Shisui finished speaking, he rushed into the battlefield. At the same time, in the rear of the Marine, several Chakra cannons had begun to be deployed.
Shikaku decisively chose the fastest solution. Konoha's living forces couldn't be consumed too much.
"Tailed Beast Cannon is charged."
"Fire!"
As the Marine in the rear pressed the button, the entire battlefield darkened. The sunlight was absorbed by the Tailed Beast Bomb gathered in front of the Chakra cannon.
Immediately afterward, everything around began to shrink and expand.
The pitch-black Tailed Beast Bomb flew out of the muzzle, forming a parabola in the air, slamming toward the pirates.
The cannonball looked funny, but when the entire sky turned black and the ground began to crack, no one thought it was funny anymore.
At this moment, the pirates seemed to have anticipated it and retreated half a step ahead of time. In the pirate camp.
A hundred-meter-tall, completely body Susanoo with a green body appeared. At the moment this Susanoo appeared, the Tailed Beast Bomb in mid-air seemed to pause.
Immediately afterward, the green spiral sword pierced the Tailed Beast Bomb in the front. The shattered black instantly turned into a terrifying explosion. In this explosion, the huge complete body Susanoo was unharmed.
Under the Susanoo's mask, scarlet Sharingan watched the entire battlefield.
The spiral sword in his hand stabbed straight into the ground. The Susanoo that had appeared in Land of Wind was warning everyone that the Uchiha Clan still had people.
"Uchiha: Great Deflection!"
The ground cracked, and a green Chakra wall appeared, reflecting all the explosion generated by the Tailed Beast Bomb in the direction of the Marine.
The Marine in the front disappeared directly into the flames and explosions. Even the screams were drowned in the explosion.
On the other side of the battlefield in Konoha, a three-headed dog that was hundreds of meters tall opened its giant mouth and bit the huge sword light that fell from the sky.
In the sky, the majestic and fierce "Indra." went down with the sword light, and the sword in his hand pierced the giant dog's neck.
"I'm sorry, senior!"
Itachi didn't hold back and wouldn't hold back.
Blood rained down, and the three-headed dog's eyes were full of unwillingness.
"The difference is so big? What a pity."
The voice was a woman's voice. As life gradually disappeared, the huge three-headed dog disappeared.
A woman fell to the ground, who was the head of the Inuzuka family, Inuzuka Tsume.
She used her life to block Itachi's strongest attack, and others were able to successfully retreat under her delay.
But... she was unwilling.
"Kiba… you must, grow up well."
Inuzuka Tsume finally closed her eyes.
