REVIEWS AND POWERSTONES PLSSS!!!!!Chapter 78: An Uchiha Isn't Afraid to Die!
Zetsu would vanish during battles, but whenever needed, he'd suddenly emerge from any location.
During a brief lull in the clash between Yasushi and Fugitachi, Zetsu appeared again, calling out to Yasushi from a distance:
"Yasushi, Nagato says he's beginning Konoha's destruction. Everyone should evacuate the village."
"Starting already?"
Yasushi turned his head to glance at the distant sky, indeed seeing Nagato's figure suspended high above.
But he showed absolutely no intention of following orders. Yasushi sneered coldly, swinging the staff in his hand as he charged once more toward Uchiha Fugitachi, shouting loudly:
"Evacuate what?"
"If I pull out here, won't the Konoha people evacuate along with everyone else?"
"Shinra Tensei won't kill me. Tell him to drop it right on Konoha—there's not a single Uchiha who's afraid to die!"
"Right, Itachi?"
Itachi's face was black as a cast-iron pot, the Mangekyo in his eyes spinning like pinwheels. Only Fugaku remained unwilling to give up, still calling out anxiously:
"Yasushi, stop this!"
"You grew up in this village!"
"There must be many people and things here worth remembering!"
"Do you truly intend to completely destroy this place?"
"Shut the fuck up, Fugaku!" Yasushi immediately roared back. "Even Kotoamatsukami can't fix your indecisive personality?"
"If you're going to be an enemy, commit to it properly!"
"This wishy-washy attitude of yours gives me no satisfaction from revenge whatsoever!"
"Look at Itachi—see how unwavering his resolve is!"
"Only an Itachi like this gives me motivation to destroy Konoha!"
"I desperately, desperately, desperately want to see Itachi's expression after Konoha is completely destroyed!"
"Haha..."
"This anticipation is far more satisfying than just killing him!"
Accompanying Yasushi's mad laughter, the air grew heavy. A tremendous pressure descended from above.
Itachi couldn't worry about Yasushi anymore. He abandoned their confrontation, turning to rush toward the Konoha forces while shouting loudly:
"Everyone evacuate the village! I'll cover the rear!"
Simultaneously, his Mangekyo spun wildly. Black flames erupted across all the Reanimation bodies.
Amaterasu burned everything. Even the Reanimations' powerful regeneration couldn't stop the black fire's spread. Even when Reanimations cut away the parts touched by black flames, Itachi would immediately reignite them the next moment.
Just as the other Konoha shinobi were about to seize the opportunity to retreat, the blood-red Susanoo charged over.
"Hahaha... no need for such trouble! Watch me solve the problem for you!"
Yasushi laughed madly. The blood-red Susanoo raised both hands and brought them down heavily upon those Uchiha clansmen.
"Any problem that can't be solved just needs death once, and it's no longer a problem!"
BOOM! The blood-red Susanoo's heavy strike was like a meteor hitting earth, instantly crushing all covered clansmen. Once the dead Reanimations reassembled, the Amaterasu black flames naturally disappeared.
Even those clansmen outside the attack range were blown away by the storm raised by the heavy strike, flying toward the retreating Konoha forces.
The blood-red Susanoo reached out to scoop up those Uchiha clansmen still burning with Amaterasu black flames. Using both hands, treating his own clansmen like mud, he hurled them chaotically toward the fleeing Konoha shinobi.
"Why care about his Amaterasu? If he wants to burn, let him burn! Just throw yourselves at the Konoha people!"
"An Uchiha isn't afraid to die!"
After Yasushi's reminder, the Uchiha clansmen all awakened. They no longer minded Itachi's Amaterasu attacks. Instead, they swung their black-flame-covered bodies, throwing themselves desperately at Konoha shinobi while shouting loudly:
"An Uchiha isn't afraid to die!"
A new clan motto was born!
Before this, these Uchiha Reanimations had subconsciously fought with ninjutsu and taijutsu. After all, habits formed from years as shinobi couldn't change instantly.
But after this, everyone's attacks became wild brawling. Forget taijutsu or ninjutsu—as long as they smeared Amaterasu black flames on you, they won!
Itachi was caught completely off guard, hastily ceasing his indiscriminate Amaterasu use to avoid becoming an accomplice to the Uchiha clan.
"Haha..." Seeing Itachi's disheveled state, Yasushi laughed even more joyfully.
Suddenly, it seemed a sun rose in the sky. Blinding white light seared everyone's eyes.
Immediately after, overwhelming shockwaves swept in, carrying countless debris and earth blocks like a towering tsunami engulfing all of Konoha.
Buildings lining the streets were torn apart like paper. Thick support beams twisted and snapped in the howling winds.
The nearby Hokage Rock collapsed with a thunderous crash. The four Hokage heads rolled down, smashing into the streets, crushing countless houses, mixing with billowing dust clouds to form a death tide that blotted out the sky.
"Now's the time!"
Yasushi's face flushed red with excitement. He roared himself hoarse, his voice cracking.
"Everyone listen! Revenge is now!"
"Drag as many down with you as possible!"
After shouting, Yasushi led by example, charging forward. He rammed the brown Susanoo that was trying to provide shelter for the Konoha shinobi, knocking it over and pinning it to the ground, rolling together.
Forget techniques or forms—just close-quarters brawling!
Under Yasushi's lead, the other Uchiha clansmen went equally mad. Each howling, they pounced on nearby shinobi with claws and teeth bared, their Sharingan flashing eerie red light through the dust.
They didn't seek to kill now—only to hold enemies down, preventing them from dodging or using defensive jutsu.
Mountain-like masses of earth and stone surged forward, washing down like a mudslide.
"Quick, Earth-Style Wall!"
A jonin shouted desperately, but Uchiha Inabi laughed madly as he charged over, ramming him down. Letting wild blades hack at his body, his hands clamped like iron pincers, pinning the jonin down until both were buried by the overwhelming earth and stone.
Dozens of shinobi hastily formed signs. The earth wall barely rose before several Uchiha shinobi forcibly smashed through it. They let debris from behind shatter their spines, determined to destroy the Konoha shinobi's defensive jutsu and create opportunities for the mudslide.
Other Uchiha clansmen were even more frenzied. Even with bodies smashed to pieces, they still used remaining arms to grip enemies' ankles tightly, dragging them toward mutual destruction.
The one commonality was that all these Uchiha Reanimations laughed maniacally while performing these insane actions.
"An Uchiha isn't afraid to die!"
Perhaps only now, at this life-or-death moment, could these Konoha shinobi truly experience firsthand just how much the Uchiha clan hated these former comrades.
When the final tremors ceased, most of Konoha's area had become ruins. Occasionally, chakra light flickered through cracks in the earth and stone before being completely covered by new landslides.
The entire battlefield fell into eerie silence, leaving only distant buildings not yet fully collapsed groaning under unbearable strain.
