In just a short moment, dozens of identical Uchiha Haru appeared in the center of the battlefield.
At first glance, their number rivaled that of the "Root" organization's ninjas.
Everyone around was stunned.
Such an enormous amount of chakra—it rivaled the power of those legendary Tailed Beasts!
Haru's expression was grim as he scanned the surrounding "Root" operatives.
Dozens of identical Uchiha Haru began performing ninjutsu simultaneously.
"Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique!"
Huge flames erupted, scattering in all directions.
Like blazing cannonballs, the fireballs exploded outward with scorching heat.
From a distance, the sight resembled meteors streaking through the night sky—beautiful and terrifying all at once.
Beneath that stunning appearance, a deadly intent burned fiercely.
Each fireball carried overwhelming, terrifying power.
The speed of these flaming projectiles was nearly impossible to dodge.
Only those handpicked by Danzo to join the "Root" organization could survive such assaults—they were true masters.
Their strength exceeded that of ordinary elite jonin, and their experience in life-or-death battles made them psychologically formidable.
This was the fearsome power of "Root."
But now, faced with Uchiha Haru's relentless offensive, even they looked solemn.
Balls of fire, accompanied by scorching airwaves, shot toward them.
Logically, a clone's power pales compared to the original.
Its chakra reserves and the strength of released ninjutsu are always at least one tier lower.
Yet, with dozens of clones attacking at once, the power behind each jutsu was still awe-inspiring.
No weakening was visible—it was terrifying.
Though still some distance away, the "Root" ninjas could already feel the unbearable heat.
"Water Release: Water Wall!"
A group of water-style users quickly formed a defensive barrier.
Streams of rushing water surged from the ground, rising to form a natural wall.
The intense heat vanished in an instant, replaced by a cool, refreshing sensation.
But no one took this relief lightly.
They knew the real danger was yet to come.
Hiss!
Suddenly, a series of sharp hissing sounds echoed through the dark night, accompanied by swirling steam.
The fireballs collided fiercely against the water wall before extinguishing.
At first, the "Root" ninjas barely reacted.
But soon, a growing unease settled among them.
The sheer number of fireballs was terrifying—almost unbelievable, endless like a flood with no end.
Moreover, the power carried by these fireballs was truly astounding.
After countless impacts, the water wall's temperature soared, and the water began to boil.
Danzo, watching the battle, frowned deeper and deeper.
Just one person was suppressing dozens of "Root" ninjas all by himself.
Even he would feel drained doing the same.
Yet Uchiha Haru seemed remarkably relaxed.
"This is bad!"
Danzo exhaled deeply, his gaze drifting away from the battlefield into the darkness.
He muttered quietly, "Aren't you going to make a move?"
"Ha."
A swirling vortex slowly formed in the dark void.
Two figures appeared—masked man and Orochimaru.
"Is Konoha deserted? They can't even handle a little guy like this?" Orochimaru sneered mockingly.
The masked man beside him stood silently, arms crossed, watching without any sign of action.
"Hmph!"
Danzo snorted coldly and silently distanced himself from the two, leaving no trace behind.
He didn't trust either of them.
Back on the battlefield, the fight raged on, but the outcome hung by a thread.
Uchiha Haru's extraordinary abilities were overpowering dozens of "Root" ninjas on his own.
Danzo's expression grew increasingly ugly.
Tonight, the Uchiha clan was being annihilated once again.
"The 'Root' organization boasts elite troops, but they can't do a thing against Uchiha Haru—this will make people look down on them."
Especially with the masked man and Orochimaru watching.
Both held no goodwill toward Konoha.
And there was Uchiha Haru, embroiled in a massive battle.
Konoha had massacred the Uchiha clan and sought to kill him.
The hatred between them had reached an almost irreversible boiling point.
They were destined enemies.
If the right time, place, and people weren't seized to deal with this now, the future trouble would be unimaginable.
This man was a powerhouse wielding both Wood Release and the Mangekyō Sharingan!
But... could anyone stop him?
Danzo knew the answer all too well.
It was impossible.
Even if he acted, he lacked confidence.
Just as he was hesitating, Orochimaru suddenly said, "Danzo, I can help you—but I have a condition."
"A condition?"
Danzo's eyes flickered sharply.
Orochimaru licked his lips, eyes gleaming with greed.
"I want his body."
Danzo's eyes narrowed, hesitating for a moment, then nodded.
"Fine."
The deal was struck.
The masked man watched coldly.
Even as Orochimaru, nominally his subordinate, bargained with Danzo, he said nothing.
This was his organization—Akatsuki.
Beyond completing assigned tasks on time, most of the time they enjoyed relative freedom without his full control.
Orochimaru smiled wickedly, his pale, creepy face twisted into a grin as he stepped forward.
On the battlefield, in just minutes, Uchiha Haru had suppressed dozens of "Root" ninjas by himself, displaying shocking power.
Just as he prepared to eliminate everyone, two powerful auras suddenly rushed toward him.
Almost simultaneously, the "Root" ninjas received orders to retreat.
With Orochimaru now intervening, Danzo no longer needed to expend his own energy.
Haru glanced sideways.
He saw two figures standing not far off.
They were the First Hokage Hashirama Senju and the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju—both resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation!
