Chapter 819 Complete Susanoo

“I report, the Uchiha Clan intends to stage a coup!”

Hiruzen Sarutobi’s thoughts were interrupted by Obito’s sudden, anxious cry. He was still wondering why Obito had come to see him, and he hadn’t expected such a weighty statement right off the bat.

“Is the Uchiha Clan so lazy that they don’t even bother to disguise it anymore?”

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained outwardly calm, but his heart was filled with surprise.

According to Anbu intelligence, after Obito had just wandered around the Uchiha Clan Compound, he had not visited the Uchiha Clan Compound or interacted with Uchiha Ninja again.

Just like that, Obito actually discovered the secret that the Uchiha Clan was about to stage a coup.

“Hokage-sama, you must believe me, I definitely haven’t misjudged. The Uchiha are certainly plotting a coup. If we don’t act quickly, Konoha might fall into internal strife.”

Obito said with a serious expression.

“At that time, other Great Ninja Villages might take the opportunity to invade the Land of Fire and attack Konoha, thus triggering a new great war.”

Looking at Obito’s expression, as if Konoha was in a critical moment of survival, Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment, then slowly said:

“Actually, a few days ago, my Anbu had already uncovered intelligence about the Uchiha’s impending coup.”

“Then why not suppress the rebellious traitors?”

Obito pressed.

“This coup is different from previous ones; it has received widespread support from Ninja within the Uchiha Clan. If we proceed with arrests prematurely, it would only ignite the conflict sooner.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi said helplessly.

During Senju Tobirama’s reign, some Uchiha had plotted a coup, but it was suppressed by Senju Tobirama’s men before it could even be put into action.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi had no way to emulate Senju Tobirama, because this time there were too many supporters of the coup; the entire Uchiha had turned hawkish, and arresting people would mean starting a war prematurely.

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not want to lose the Uchiha, a powerful Ninja Clan, so he could only try his best to buy time.

“Let me do it. For me, an Uchiha, to resolve this coup initiated by the Uchiha, it’s the most suitable thing to do.”

Obito volunteered.

“Tell me your thoughts.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not directly refuse.

Although he still couldn’t fully trust Obito, the current situation was already too bad, and Hiruzen Sarutobi urgently needed to solve the Uchiha problem.

“I haven’t thought it through yet, but as long as Hokage-sama meets my demands in stages, there shouldn’t be a problem.”

Obito said righteously.

In fact, he had already roughly conceived the plan, but his persona was, after all, that of a hero who had just returned a few days ago, so it was not good to show too much understanding of the Uchiha’s recent situation.

Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his forehead, thinking he had finally found someone reliable, but it turned out to be the most absurd one; he didn’t even have a plan, yet he dared to ask him to meet his demands.

Boom!

Crack.

At this moment, an extremely terrifying Chakra suddenly burst forth from Obito, and the sheer momentum caused the wooden floor beneath his feet to shatter.

Hiruzen Sarutobi’s expression changed, and he stood up, rapidly condensing Chakra.

The Anbu guarding outside the Hokage Office felt this terrifying aura and thought Hiruzen Sarutobi was being assassinated, so they rushed in.

“Go back, it’s nothing.”

Since Obito did nothing but unleash his Chakra, showing neither hostility nor killing intent, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly sat back down and told the rushing Anbu to return to their posts.

“Hokage-sama, don’t worry, if it doesn’t succeed, I will personally deal with all those who intend to rebel!”

Obito retracted his aura and said in a deep voice.

“Then you can try, but I won’t fulfill any overly unreasonable requests.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment, and finally agreed to Obito’s request.

“Hehe, thank you for your trust, Hokage-sama.”

Obito looked at the wood splinters on the ground, scratching his head somewhat awkwardly, completely losing his previous domineering demeanor.

“These will be deducted from Kakashi’s salary. I’ll pay him back then. Goodbye, Hokage-sama.”

Leaving a remark that might make Kakashi’s blood pressure skyrocket, Obito left the Hokage Office.

Looking at Obito’s departing back, Hiruzen Sarutobi’s expression was complex.

“With such terrifying Chakra, I’m afraid I’m no match for him now.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the shattered wood in the Hokage Office, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.

As for Obito’s almost absurd explanation, Hiruzen Sarutobi now believed most of it.

Because other speculations were even less likely.

Obito was a spy who had been brainwashed for nine years?

Which great Ninja Village could have that kind of power, to brainwash someone and also include a grand upgrade package, elevating their strength to Hokage-level?

If they had that power, they would have used it to cultivate a successor for their Ninja Village long ago; only a fool would use it to cultivate a spy.

“I hope this is an opportunity to solve the Uchiha problem.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.

If it couldn’t be resolved for a long time, he would have to consider a military solution.

After all, no matter how much he valued the Uchiha, it was based on the Uchiha being a Konoha Ninja Clan, and Konoha’s interests were paramount.

…

After leaving the Hokage Building, Obito rushed non-stop towards the Police Force.

The Root Ninja exchanged glances after realizing Obito’s destination, then decisively charged towards Obito.

Obito first went to the Uchiha Clan Compound, then to the Hokage Building, and now he was going to the Police Force; he was clearly trying to stir up trouble.

Bang!

“Get lost.”

Obito didn’t even look at the two of them, concentrating Chakra in his legs, and with a whirlwind kick, he sent both of them flying, knocking down several large trees before they stopped.

Then he continued to rush towards the Police Force, neither delivering a finishing blow nor checking their appearance.

“So fast!”

The Root Ninja wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his heart filled with shock.

The two of them, elite Root Ninja, were easily defeated by a sneak attack.

“Go report to Danzo-sama, this guy is not right.”

Another Root Ninja said.

The Root Ninja nodded, and both of them, disregarding their injuries, quickly ran back to the Root Base.

“Where is Fugaku, I need to see him.”

Upon arriving at the Police Force, Obito directly asked for Uchiha Fugaku’s location.

“You are Obito? Just tell me what you need.”

An Uchiha Ninja recognized Obito and stood up to speak.

Uchiha Fugaku, as the captain of the Police Force, would be overwhelmed if just anyone could see him.

“It’s useless to tell you, I can only tell Fugaku.”

Obito shook his head and said.

What was the point of finding an ordinary Uchiha Ninja? He needed an Uchiha Ninja with enough influence.

“Don’t think you can cause trouble here just because you’re an Uchiha.”

The Uchiha Ninja said with displeasure.

“Can you only tell me? Then come to my office.”

Uchiha Fugaku happened to walk out and saw this scene. He thought for a moment and said.

Uchiha Fugaku was a bit curious about what Obito, an Uchiha who had been missing for nine years, wanted to see him about.

They were not close before or after his disappearance.

Obito immediately followed him and entered Uchiha Fugaku’s office.

“Did you encounter some difficulty and want to return to the Uchiha Clan Compound…”

“The clan wants to stage a coup, right?”

Before Uchiha Fugaku could finish his sentence, Obito interrupted him.

Uchiha Fugaku’s brows furrowed, but quickly relaxed.

“Uchiha coup? What a malicious rumor. Where did you hear that? I’ll immediately send people to arrest them.”

Uchiha Fugaku asked expressionlessly.

Although the coup was no longer a secret among Uchiha Ninja, Obito had never attended a clan meeting, so he shouldn’t have known about the coup.

“Of course, it was our Sandaime-sama, Hiruzen Sarutobi.”

Obito replied with a chuckle.

“Spreading rumors about Hokage-sama can land you in prison.”

Uchiha Fugaku’s eyes turned crimson, and he looked at Obito with a cold expression.

“If it wasn’t Hokage-sama who told me, could it be that I, an Uchiha who just returned to Konoha, found out about the clan’s coup just by casually visiting the clan grounds once?”

Obito was not only unfazed by Uchiha Fugaku’s Sharingan, but he also unceremoniously poured himself a cup of tea from the teapot on the desk.

Uchiha Fugaku stared intently at Obito, constantly pondering whether Obito’s words were true or false.

The more he thought, the more pessimistic Uchiha Fugaku became.

Because no matter whether Obito’s words were true or false, they revealed one piece of information—the Uchiha’s intention to stage a coup had been exposed.

Even Obito, a Ninja who had just returned to Konoha for a few days, knew about the coup, so how could the Anbu Ninja not know?

If the Anbu Ninja knew, how could Hiruzen Sarutobi not know?

“The Sandaime has entrusted me and Itachi with resolving the Uchiha coup.”

Obito brought the teacup to his mouth, took a sip, and said.

“If this matter cannot be resolved peacefully, we will use force to eliminate all Ninja who intend to rebel.”

“Itachi and you?”

Uchiha Fugaku questioned.

If Itachi Uchiha was given the mission, he would believe it.

As a father, Uchiha Fugaku had witnessed his genius son’s growth step by step.

What was Obito? A mediocre Uchiha.

“Kamui!”

Seeing Uchiha Fugaku question his strength, Obito smiled faintly, flashed to Uchiha Fugaku’s side, and sucked him into the Kamui Dimension.

“This eye!”

Uchiha Fugaku, who had reacted within the Kamui Dimension, immediately flashed away to distance himself from Obito, revealing a shocked expression after seeing the pattern in Obito’s blood-red eyes.

As the leader of the Uchiha Clan, he knew more than ordinary Uchiha. The Three-Tomoe was not the pinnacle of the Sharingan; above the Three-Tomoe was the Mangekyo Sharingan!

“Since you already possess these eyes, you should understand the greatness of the Uchiha Clan better than ordinary Uchiha. Why help Konoha? Return to the clan. With your power, the coup will surely succeed.”

Uchiha Fugaku secretly condensed Chakra while trying to recruit Obito into the coup’s ranks.

“Uncle Fugaku, you have quite a sense of humor.”

Obito couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

His current achievements were due to Muzuki’s guidance, and had nothing to do with the Uchiha.

“Are you already prepared to suppress it? Starting with me, the captain.”

Uchiha Fugaku’s heart sank.

Although the Uchiha were the strongest Ninja Clan, facing all of Konoha, there was no possibility of victory, especially without the element of surprise.

“Of course not, it’s just more convenient for us to talk here.”

Obito shook his head and said.

“I am, after all, a member of the Uchiha Clan. In my heart, I wish the clan well, Uncle Fugaku. Let go of the unrealistic fantasy of a coup.”

“If Shisui hadn’t committed suicide, and Itachi had firmly stood with the clan, the coup would definitely succeed!”

Uchiha Fugaku retorted.

He did not believe that a coup was an unrealistic fantasy.

“Not staging a coup is a slow suicide. The Konoha higher-ups are ostracizing the Uchiha, gradually weakening the Uchiha’s power. If we don’t stage a coup now, we won’t even have a chance to save ourselves later!”

“It won’t succeed no matter what.”

Obito shook his head and denied it.

“Because I won’t let you dreamers mess things up.”

As soon as Obito finished speaking, materialized blue Chakra appeared around him.

Immediately, the ground was destroyed, and rumbling sounds continued.

Amidst the dust, a samurai the size of a mountain rose from the ground, appearing before Uchiha Fugaku.

Looking at the blue giant, whose height exceeded one hundred and fifty meters, Uchiha Fugaku’s Kunai, which he had just taken out, fell to the ground, his expression incredibly bitter.

At this moment, he finally understood why some documents referred to Susanoo as the power of a god.

This was an absolutely unbeatable enemy; the gap between them was like a chasm.

Not just him alone, but probably the entire Uchiha Clan combined would not be Obito’s match.

“It seems Uncle Fugaku, you’ve calmed down.”

Obito dispelled the Perfect Susanoo, landing beside Uchiha Fugaku with a smile.

Obito was a reasonable person, but he clearly understood that at times, one needed sufficient strength for their reasoning to be heard.

“With you on Konoha’s side, the Uchiha truly have no way of succeeding, no matter what.”

No matter how unwilling Uchiha Fugaku was, he had to admit that the Uchiha Clan’s coup had completely failed.

Unless the Uchiha Clan immediately produced another figure like Senju Hashirama, but that was clearly impossible.

“What do you need me to do?”

Uchiha Fugaku asked.

Although Obito wasn’t helping the Uchiha stage a coup, he didn’t seem to want to directly kill the Uchiha either.

“It’s simple, just help me capture the Uchiha spies who intend to cause internal strife in Konoha.”

Obito slowly stated his first-stage plan.

“Once we catch the Uchiha spies from the hostile Ninja Villages, Uncle Fugaku, you will be promoted, and the Uchiha Clan will also get better.”

Obito wanted to change the tragic massacre, but he wasn’t prepared to use his power to protect everyone in the Uchiha Clan; someone had to pay a price.

Times were different; he couldn’t resolve everything with gentle methods like Shisui. Now, the conflict had become extremely sharp.

Moreover, some Uchiha truly deserved punishment.

“Spies? I understand.”

Uchiha Fugaku was about to say that it was impossible for the Uchiha Clan to have spies from enemy villages, but he quickly understood Obito’s meaning.

Obito wanted to label some of the Uchiha Ninja who intended to stage a coup as spies.

Compared to a coup, being a spy was not as serious an offense.

However, Uchiha Fugaku did not take Obito’s talk of promotion seriously.

Since Hiruzen Sarutobi already knew about the Uchiha coup, how could he possibly get promoted? It would be good enough if he wasn’t thrown into prison.
