After they completed the ninjutsu, they heard a thunderous boom, as if the ground was trembling.
Then came a violent impact, even stronger than a C-Class Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, which blew their constructed earth wall full of cracks.
However, after this strike, the battlefield seemed to fall silent, as the others quickly emerged from behind the earth wall, they immediately saw a deep ravine being cleaved in front of Uchiha Yoichi's Susanoo.
As for Uchiha Fugaku's deep green Susanoo, it had become so phantasmal that only a skeletal arm raising a shield remained. Behind Uchiha Fugaku's Susanoo, there was likewise a ravine carved out by the blade's aura, extending hundreds of meters.
The ravine split all the way to a distant hillock before it finally stopped.
This power made Sarutobi Hiruzen secretly frown in shock; it is said that Susanoo's power is akin to a Tailed Beast, which they witnessed today.
Even S-Class Kinjutsu might not achieve such an effect.
"Stop it, don't fight anymore!"
Uchiha Yashiro suddenly rushed out and shouted loudly, then quickly arrived in front of Uchiha Fugaku's Susanoo, arms spread wide, trying to stop the carnage as Uchiha Yoichi raised his Chakra Long Blade.
"Mr. Yoichi, Uchiha Fugaku has admitted defeat, let it end here!"
After shouting these words loudly, Uchiha Yashiro turned back to check Uchiha Fugaku's situation.
His eyes were nearly rolled back, he slightly hammered his head, his body leaned forward and wobbled, Uchiha Fugaku had already fainted, but had not completely fallen to the ground. Yet if Uchiha Yoichi controlled Susanoo to strike once more, there would be nothing left of Uchiha Fugaku.
Initially, when Uchiha Fugaku wanted to duel with Uchiha Yoichi, Uchiha Yashiro was unwilling, but after more than ten years of companionship, he found it hard to refuse Uchiha Fugaku's decision.
Now it's natural he can't stand by and watch.
"Mr. Yoichi, you've rightfully become the Clan Leader, so the fight should end here, please!"
Having said that, Uchiha Yashiro bowed deeply, pleading with Uchiha Yoichi to spare Uchiha Fugaku once.
After he finished speaking, Uchiha Fugaku instinctively canceled Susanoo and collapsed directly onto the ground unconscious.
The spectating Uchiha clan members drew nearer, with the Great Elder arriving the fastest; he too did not wish Uchiha Fugaku to die, as Uchiha Fugaku was the Clan Leader he chose back then.
Seeing many people arrive, Uchiha Yoichi also released the Complete Form of Susanoo, using less time than on the Hidden Cloud battlefield, without many repairs to Susanoo, and thereby not overburdening his eyes too much.
"This puts me in a difficult position, Senior Yashiro. If I hadn't reacted in time, you might not even have had the moment to plead for me. In the same battle, Uchiha Fugaku did not hold back against me…"
Uchiha Yoichi stepped out of Susanoo and said with a cold smile, following the recent battle, his prestige within the Uchiha Race had almost risen to the utmost. Even if he referred to Uchiha Yashiro as Senior Yashiro, Uchiha Yashiro dared not meet Uchiha Yoichi's gaze.
"I know, but I still ask Mr. Yoichi to spare him once, please!"
Having said so, Uchiha Yashiro sat down to plead, and the Great Elder also spoke:"Yang Clan Leader, the Third Generation Hokage and other Ninja Races are nearby, why don't we go and meet them first, tonight's commotion was rather loud after all..."
In contrast to Uchiha Yashiro's stringent plea, the Great Elder's words were much more appropriate, with outsiders nearby, hinting it would be best not to kill Uchiha Fugaku. Just bringing him back would allow many more opportunities for plea.
Moreover, when the Great Elder spoke, he addressed Uchiha Yoichi as Clan Leader, speaking with greater shrewdness and experience.
"Let's proceed as such, Senior Masato, you bring Uchiha Fugaku back for treatment, and when he wakes up, I wish to talk with him."
Uchiha Yoichi pondered for a moment before speaking, to which Uchiha Masato promptly nodded and replied:"Yes, Clan Leader."
"Everyone else, follow me to explain to the Third Generation Hokage, after returning, explain the situation and dismiss the clan council; tomorrow, all captains from the Security Team, come to Nankai Main Hall to continue the clan council."
"Yes, Clan Leader!"
Apart from the Great Elder and Elder Kenji, the other Jonin Uchiha all responded positively, including members of the Peace Faction.
And the Great Elder opened his mouth and said:"Clan Leader, I am getting on in years, I don't want to be involved in clan matters anymore, I hope to take leave from future clan councils, any decision you make, I will support."
Uchiha Kenji also spoke:"I am like the Great Elder, feeling somewhat fatigued recently, not inclined towards participating in clan affairs, but will always support the Clan Leader's decisions."
Both planned to relinquish power, Uchiha Kenji had long thought about it, while the Great Elder hoped that by relinquishing power, he could fight for more chances of survival for Uchiha Fugaku.
When they return to clan territory, they will announce this matter to others there; they formally abdicated, and will henceforth support Uchiha Yoichi in all matters.
"I understand, both elders have worked hard today."
Uchiha Yoichi nodded and said, then led a group of Uchiha clan members to where the Third Generation Hokage was located.
Upon approaching, Uchiha Yoichi spoke:"Third Master, I am truly sorry for causing such a commotion tonight, it concerns the Clan Leader selection, both I and Senior Fugaku were very earnest, and regarding the damage outside the village, the Uchiha will handle the repairs....".
"It's okay, I couldn't sleep half the night, was a bit worried and came to see for myself."
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said:"I didn't come in vain, seeing your strength makes me feel significantly relieved, no matter what number of enemies there might be, Konoha has powerful ninjas to safeguard the village."
"Protecting the village is the duty of the Security Team, we certainly won't decline."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, then showed concern and said:"By the way, it seems Mr. Fugaku got injured, how is he?".
"It should be fine, just received some new power that's hard to control, once skilled it will be okay; as for Mr. Fugaku, just send him to Konoha Hospital for treatment, thank you, Third Master's concern."
Uchiha Yoichi finished speaking, then addressed others and said:"Sorry for troubling everyone tonight, consultant Masters, Senior Sakumo, Mr. Nara...".
"Don't worry about it, we were curious....".
Mitokado Homura, Hatake Sakumo, Nara, Hyuga and others exchanged a few courteous words with Uchiha Yoichi, then prepared to return.
Tonight they witnessed the true strength of the Uchiha Race, the Three-Tomoe already has a strong reputation, establishing fame in the Ninja World for eliciting a flee-on-sight, yet compared to the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, the Mangekyo is seemingly incomparable.
What they didn't know was that only Uchiha Yoichi's Mangekyo Sharingan was so powerful, normal Mangekyo Sharingan like Uchiha Fugaku's was considered the limit.
Exhausting one's life could only condense a ten-meter half-body Susanoo, and using pupil technique multiple times may expose eyes to the risk of blindness.
Uchiha Yoichi said to Sarutobi Hiruzen:"Now, if there's nothing else, I shall go back and manage clan council matters".
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said:"Then you be busy, Yang Clan Leader".
Seeing the attitude of those Uchiha ninjas behind Uchiha Yoichi, he immediately knew that from today onward, the Clan Leader of the Uchiha Race turned to be this young man before him.
This made Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart unexpectedly rise to annoyance, previously Uchiha Fugaku as the Clan Leader was quite good, knowing to retreat to the village multiple times.
If it's replacing Uchiha Yoichi as Clan Leader, then Sarutobi Hiruzen could already envision how assertive the Security Team would become.
A few days ago, two rowdy villagers spoke ill of the Uchiha in an izakaya, and are currently held in the Security Team, reportedly to be sent to the frontlines for combat…..those two civilians' families don't know how many times they visited the Hokage Building.
Watching Uchiha Yoichi leave, many thoughts flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind.
'Uchiha Fugaku also awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, although not as strong as Uchiha Yoichi, he ought to be watched over more, at the very least he cannot be left to be killed by Uchiha Yoichi!'
"Hiruzen...."
Mitokado Homura was about to say something but was cut off by a gesture from Sarutobi Hiruzen and said:"Homura, it's quite late today, let's go back and rest first, anything further can be discussed tomorrow."
