A massive torrent of lightning poured down, and in an instant, this small battlefield turned into a sea of thunder!
Countless bolts of lightning!
Under the countless bolts of lightning, there was only one safe place, and that was beside the completely unconscious Hanzo the Salamander, where Raijin stood.
"Roar!"
The furious roar of the Eight-Tails echoed, and Raijin looked over, his Mangekyou spinning rapidly, causing the roar of the Eight-Tails Gyuki to abruptly stop.
What are you barking at?
...
Looking at the sky that was originally clear, a large thundercloud suddenly appeared, and the roar of the Eight-Tails Gyuki that had just risen abruptly stopped.
Senju Tobirama, at the front of the team, was momentarily stunned, but he did not stop moving. Instead, he silently began to accelerate forward.
...
When the Konohagakure Police Force and Konohagakure Anbu arrived at the scene, they saw only dozens of charred corpses and Raijin holding Fukai by the collar, walking towards the only other living person on the battlefield—the unconscious Hanzo the Salamander.
Fukai, who could have played a significant role on the front lines, was now limp, being dragged by Raijin, leaving a trail on the ground.
"Tell me everything you saw that day."
Raijin casually threw Fukai to the ground and looked down at him.
"Heh..."
Fukai sneered disdainfully and turned his head away.
How amusing, why should I tell you?
Fukai knew very well that he wouldn't survive today, but he also wouldn't let Uchiha Raijin have it easy.
"Your Mangekyou was awakened because of that Uchiha Suisei, right?"
Fukai turned back, forcing a smile, and slowly asked Raijin.
"You have no idea how miserable that Uchiha was at the time, almost out of chakra, and poisoned by Hanzo the Salamander..."
"Clang!"
Uchiha Motohide bit his lip hard, and with the sound of a long sword being drawn, he silently approached Fukai and, without a word, swung his sword.
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out, and Uchiha Motohide looked at Raijin in surprise, not understanding why Raijin had stopped him.
"Suisei might still be alive."
Raijin glanced at Motohide and slowly sheathed his Kusanagi sword.
Motohide pursed his lips at Raijin's words, silently taking a step back, his eyes fixed on the ground, lost in thought.
Raijin looked down and picked up Fukai.
"Tell me!"
With those words, Raijin forced Fukai to meet his gaze, and in the next moment, Genjutsu was activated.
"Tell me everything about your fight with Uchiha Suisei."
"At that time, we first dealt with all the Uchiha around Uchiha Suisei..."
Under Raijin's influence, Fukai recounted everything that had happened, and with Suisei's words, Raijin roughly understood what happened at that time.
Raijin casually threw Fukai to the ground and immediately understood what happening to Suise.
At that moment Suisei's body began to twist, but in the next moment, it sank directly into the ground.
The twisting of the body, in Raijin's view, was most likely due to Suisei's awakened Mangekyou technique.
And the eye technique that could cause the body to twist, Raijin immediately thought of Kamui.
"Suisei doesn't know Earth Release."
Raijin turned to look at Uchiha Motohide. It wasn't that he wasn't good at it; he simply didn't know it.
Suisei only knew two types of techniques: Fire Release and Lightning Release.
And as Raijin shone brightly in Lightning Release, Suisei focused entirely on Fire Release and achieved remarkable success.
"Then Uchiha Suisei should still be alive."
Tsunade came to Raijin's side and said to him.
"The one who took Suisei and the one who destroyed the Uchiha Merchant Association in the Land of Moon should be the same person."
Raijin nodded at these words, closing his eyes in frustration.
Is it you, Black Zetsu?
To ensure the smooth implementation of the Eye of the Moon Plan, you initiated the Second War early.
And taking Uchiha Suisei, was it to... restrain me?
"First the Land of Moon, then the Land of Hot Water... this guy... really doesn't see us Uchiha as humans..."
Uchiha Motohide thrust his long sword into the ground, clenching his fists tightly.
After a long time, he slowly calmed the uncontrollable anger rising in his heart and said word by word.
"Before that, let's end the war first."
As Uchiha Motohide's voice fell, Senju Tobirama stepped forward and said to Motohide.
"Tsunade."
As he spoke, Senju Tobirama took out a scroll, and as the seal on the scroll was lifted, a large jar appeared in Senju Tobirama's hand.
"Yes."
Tsunade nodded at these words, taking the jar handed over by Senju Tobirama.
She stepped forward and came to Fukai's side, beginning to extract the tailed beast from Fukai's body.
"Yes."
Uchiha Motohide nodded at these words. Since the person behind this had taken Suisei, they definitely wouldn't kill Suisei.
Otherwise, there would be no need to save him.
Now that so much time had passed, what was meant to happen must have already happened.
Finding him wouldn't be an easy task.
Moreover, with the current strength of the Uchiha, if they dispersed, they would easily be picked off.
The safety of his daughter was indeed very important, but as the head of the Konohagakure Police Force, Uchiha Motohide also had to be responsible for his clan members.
So, Uchiha Motohide could only temporarily suppress his inner anxiety.
First, resolve the war at hand.
"The war will end soon."
Watching Tsunade seal the Eight-Tails in the jar, Raijin said to Uchiha Motohide.
"Yes."
Motohide nodded, saying nothing more.
Black Zetsu... you better hope I don't find you.
...
"I see…"
The white-haired Uchiha Madara looked at the fallen Uchiha Suisei and spoke slowly. After a moment, Madara said softly.
"In the years I've been away, the clan has indeed produced some remarkable talents…"
Leaning against the Gedo Mazo, Madara shook his head slightly, listening to Zetsu's description. In Madara's view, the junior named Uchiha Raijin should already possess the strength of Senju Hashirama.
Senjutsu, powerful Lightning Release, no, he has actually surpassed Senju Hashirama, after all, Hashirama didn't have the Sharingan.
However, Madara also knew very well that there was only one Senju Hashirama in this world.
Uchiha Raijin, although he sounds strong, in reality, there is still a considerable gap compared to Hashirama.
After all, Hashirama's body could heal itself without even forming seals. A faint smile appeared on Madara's lips.
That was overflowing life energy…
