Uchiha Sasuke stood up and clapped his hands, completely unconcerned about exposing his power: "That's just the second stage of Susanoo, merely a rudimentary use of the Sharingan's ability..."
"Even that is astounding."
Kabuto remembered the shock he felt when he saw Susanoo.
Of course.
What intrigued Kabuto more was why Uchiha Sasuke was so fast, though his curiosity was suppressed by his rationality. Kabuto understood that it might be Uchiha Sasuke's secret, and asking about it now was not the right time.
"If I'm not mistaken..."
Uchiha Sasuke's lips curled into a strange, cold smile: "The village's top brass are probably already discussing Susanoo. They probably don't know how to deal with me yet; I bet after the Chunin exams, I'll have to leave Team 7…"
To be honest...
Even Uchiha Sasuke himself understood this kind of thing.
Susanoo signifies the emergence of a Mangekyo Sharingan capable of controlling the Tailed Beasts, and coincidentally, Konoha holds the most terrifying Nine-tails in the Ninja World. If it goes berserk, it could destroy Konoha, or even the current Konoha, which isn't a trivial issue!
As a reality, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hokage Advisor, Uchiha Sasuke is also part of the village's top brass. He would not tolerate anyone outside the village's leadership controlling the Tailed Beast's power because the power of life and death must not be in the hands of others...
"Danzo might also soon know about what's happening here..."
Kabuto looked at Uchiha Sasuke and seriously reminded him once more: "For reasons unknown, Danzo has always been very interested in the Sharingan..."
On the other side.
Everything was just as Kabuto and Uchiha Sasuke had suspected.
The Konoha leadership gathered in the examination room, a group of Jonin with their mouths wide open, staring in shock as the ten-meter-tall purple half-bodied giant crushed a Grass Ninja to death...
"Hokage, what exactly is that jutsu?"
A Jonin looked towards the Third Hokage sitting in the center.
"Didn't expect..."
The emotion of Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was also a bit shaken. Holding his pipe tightly, he muttered to himself: "Susanoo... has appeared again..."
Susanoo!
A power capable of destroying everything!
If it were simply just Susanoo, it would be fine, but the person using Susanoo can only be from the Uchiha Clan, and in the Forest of Death, there's only one Uchiha!
Uchiha Sasuke!
That twelve-year-old kid, his Sharingan has actually evolved into the Mangekyo Sharingan, and at this age can already use such a terrifying Dojutsu like Susanoo!
That brat...
Really, he's a bit too strong!
Sarutobi Hiruzen's only consolation was that the Uchiha Clan had already been wiped out, leaving only Uchiha Sasuke as the sole orphan...
Otherwise, during the times of conflict between the Uchiha Clan and Konoha's leadership, a terrifying prodigy like this appearing would make it impossible for Konoha's leaders to sleep peacefully at night...
No...
That's not right...
The Mangekyo Sharingan has the ability to control Tailed Beasts...
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of Uchiha Sasuke's teammate Naruto Uzumaki, feeling a bit conflicted in his heart, and he couldn't help but furrow his brows deeply.
"Hiruzen."
Hokage Advisor Utatane Koharu looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, her brows also knitted with some unease: "That little Sasuke seems to be a bit excessively strong..."
"Reaching this level at this age..."
Mitokado Homura also felt uneasy, unconsciously recalling the time of conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the leadership; those Uchiha were really too easy to lose control!
"Alright."
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the two advisors, advising them to calm down and not to lose their reason because of Uchiha Sasuke: "The Uchiha Clan had long been annihilated four years ago. Now, there's only Sasuke left..."
From any angle, Uchiha Sasuke should not be a threat to Konoha; instead, he should be an asset. Having a powerful ninja in the village is a good thing...
That's the way it is...
However, Uchiha Sasuke unleashing the Mangekyo Sharingan means he now has the potential to control the Nine-tails, which means he could initiate a Nine-tails rampage if he wants...
The event with the Nine-tails back then caused great losses for Konoha, and the lingering scent of blood has lingered in Konoha for twelve years and has not yet dissipated!
The village's strongest and most dangerous weapon, with the key to activation held by an untrustworthy teenager, inevitably makes people feel anxious and fearful...
If one day, Uchiha Sasuke learned of the truth behind the Uchiha Clan's extermination, or if that brat's emotions became unstable, using his Mangekyo Sharingan to control the Nine-tails within Naruto Uzumaki could potentially create a terrifying Nine-tails rampage event!
Coincidentally...
The Uchiha Clan has always been somewhat irrational in their actions!
Uchiha Sasuke, when it comes to killing, is merciless. He forcefully manipulated Susanoo to crush a Grass Ninja to death! He doesn't seem like a reasonable person!
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen gripped his pipe tightly, thinking of certain potential occurrences, his brow furrowing tightly.
As the village's Hokage...
He must protect the village at all costs!
As the Hokage responsible for protecting the entire village, he can't place all hope on Uchiha Sasuke always staying calm to ensure Konoha's future is devoid of Nine-tails rampage incidents. The key to the dangerous weapon absolutely cannot be in the hands of a twelve-year-old kid!
