Chapter 68: The Monster Hidden in the Clan
Rumble!!!
The moment the red Susanoo shattered, a terrifying energy shockwave erupted. Cracks began to spider across the square as a towering cloud of dust rolled upward like a storm.
Poof...
Uchiha Itachi, who had been inside the red Susanoo, crashed hard into the ground before he could react, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood. His pair of bloodshot Mangekyō Sharingan eyes were filled with disbelief.
How could this happen?
My Susanoo... was destroyed?!
---
"Who was that?!
"Wait... Did Susanoo just explode?! That's impossible!"
---
Buzz!!!
Seconds passed. Both the Root and Uchiha clansmen stared blankly at the scene before them, expressions frozen in shock. Their minds couldn't process what had just occurred.
Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo—shattered in an instant?!
Unbelievable.
---
Suddenly, Shimura Danzo's eyes widened.
"This aura… This pressure... Don't tell me…"
Uchiha Obito, still floating in the air, seemed to reach the same conclusion. His expression shifted violently.
---
"When did the Uchiha clan fall to the point where we had to be wiped out like this?"
A calm voice echoed across the square.
From within the slowly settling dust, a lone figure walked forward under the pale moonlight.
---
Silence.
Uchiha Fugaku's face froze.
Uchiha Itachi's eyes trembled.
Even Obito, the masked man in the sky, was stunned speechless.
Every Root ninja, every Uchiha clansman, even those hidden in the shadows—Black Zetsu, White Zetsu—gasped in shock.
"It's him…!"
---
Complete silence.
The square was as still as death.
The very air around the Uchiha clan seemed frozen in time, with only ragged, tense breathing breaking the quiet.
---
"...Uchiha Yuta. Very well."
Finally, after a long silence, Uchiha Obito managed to suppress his shock and speak.
"Seven years ago—the man in the mask with the white beard... that was you, wasn't it? That mysterious voice earlier—also you?"
---
"That's right."
Uchiha Yuta replied calmly, his expression unreadable. "It was all me."
---
Gasp—!!
As if a dam had burst, countless ninjas in the square suddenly sucked in sharp breaths.
Shock.
Absolute shock.
No one could believe it.
All of it... was Uchiha Yuta?
---
Unthinkable.
Nobody had paid attention to Yuta all these years. Not the Root, not even his fellow clansmen.
Even on the night of the planned massacre, not a single person had accounted for Uchiha Yuta.
His presence in the clan was just that low. Even Uchiha Fugaku had forgotten about the overwhelming aura Yuta had released during the Nine-Tails incident seven years ago.
But now...
Everything was unraveling.
Uchiha Yuta had turned the tide in an instant—revealing himself at the most crucial moment.
---
"Ahhh… finally. I don't have to hide anymore."
Yuta stretched lazily, his face filled with a rare sense of peace and liberation.
Ten years.
He'd endured for ten long years.
But now?
It was time.
Time for the Uchiha clan to rise—and for Konoha's sky to be turned upside down.
The entire ninja world would feel the tremor of what was about to come.
---
Buzz!!!
In the next instant, a terrifying pressure erupted from Uchiha Yuta's body.
This wasn't Conqueror's Haki.
This was Yuta's own aura—the presence of a true monster.
Especially after unlocking the full power of the Whitebeard template, Uchiha Yuta no longer even knew how strong he truly was.
---
And yet, to avoid alarming Hiruzen Sarutobi prematurely,
Yuta deliberately restrained his aura, keeping it suppressed within the Uchiha clan grounds.
Because once this matter was resolved—
He was going to give the Third Hokage the surprise of a lifetime.
---
Buzz!!!
Suddenly, the entire Uchiha compound felt like it was suffocating.
Even Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Itachi, Obito, and Uchiha Fugaku were struggling to breathe.
The invisible pressure weighed down on them like a mountain.
For most of the ninjas present—both Root and Uchiha—breathing became near impossible.
The weaker ones even felt their very souls trembling.
---
"What kind of monster is this… Uchiha Yuta?"
"This… this isn't just power… this is overwhelming dominance!"
---
Danzo. Itachi. Obito.
Their faces were completely devoid of color.
Looking at Uchiha Yuta—this man, hidden in plain sight for ten years—felt like staring into the abyss.
They had thought they were on the tenth floor…
Only to realize that Yuta had been quietly watching from the hundredth floor all along.
The disparity was soul-crushing.
But there was no time left to resist.
The truth was here.
And there was no avoiding it anymore.
