Chapter 85
"Isn't that supposed to be God?"
"Grandpa Hokage, Lord Hiruzen, has been killed."
"...That's it? So weak?"
"Could there really have been a conspiracy behind my father's death?"
"...."
Uchiha Sasuke, Naruto Uzumaki, Hinata Hyuga, Neji Hyuga, Nara Shikamaru, and the other young ninjas were all shaken to their core.
Usually, Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen would often tell them about Konoha's greatest mystery — the Will of Fire;
How he was a master of ninjutsu, the strongest Hokage in history, and the hero who led Konoha to become the top ninja village in the world.
But the result?
This?
Was this the so-called strongest Hokage in history?
Why was he crushed so easily?
Why did he look so powerless against Uchiha Yuta for so long?
---
Meanwhile...
Puff!
After Sarutobi Hiruzen was killed, the three shadow clones maintaining the Three-Way Sealing Formation instantly turned into white smoke, causing the barrier to collapse on its own.
"No doubt, you fought well for a Third Hokage,"
Uchiha Yuta said casually, putting away his Cong Yun Cutter sword. He stretched lazily, glanced outside the fallen barrier where a stunned Uchiha Fugaku stood, and instructed lightly:
"Clean up Hiruzen's body."
"Ah... Ah!"
Fugaku snapped out of it and quickly nodded.
---
"Now, have the ninjas from all the clans stabilize the situation,"
Yuta said as he swept his gaze over the clan leaders. "Wake up the unconscious ANBU. The entire ninja world is about to erupt into chaos."
"Yes!!" "Understood!!" "As you command!!"
Under Yuta's gaze, Hyuga Hiashi, Akimichi Choza, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, Aburame Shibi, and the other clan leaders all quickly bowed their heads in obedience.
Because to the seasoned veterans of Konoha:
The Will of Fire was just empty talk. In the end, strength ruled all.
And now, Uchiha Yuta had the strongest fist.
He had killed the village's top leaders, which meant...
From now on, Konoha was Uchiha's village.
Secretly,
Hyuga Hiashi and the others actually felt a bit pleased inside.
After all, for years, the Konoha upper management — led by Sarutobi Hiruzen — had been suppressing the major clans, first targeting the Senju clan, and then turning against the Uchiha.
If the Uchiha had been exterminated this time, the next to be crushed would have been their clans.
But now?
The Uchiha's counterattack had saved them all.
---
Konoha Year 55
The greatest internal conflict in Konoha's history had occurred.
The leadership, intending to wipe out the Uchiha clan, never expected that Uchiha Yuta — the "low-key taijutsu elite" — was actually a hidden monster.
He singlehandedly annihilated the elites of the Root and ANBU, wiped out the Sarutobi clan, and personally executed Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and Sarutobi Hiruzen himself.
In one night, Konoha's leadership was utterly destroyed.
The regime changed hands in a bloodless coup.
---
Boom!!!
When the news broke out,
The entire ninja world was shaken.
The major ninja villages and countless rogue ninjas were all stunned.
Because everyone knew:
Konoha was the undisputed number one village, and Sarutobi Hiruzen — The Professor — was regarded as the greatest Hokage in history.
And now?
Killed — by a man who had never even appeared in any major war.
Someone previously unknown, Uchiha Yuta, had overturned the entire Konoha leadership.
The implications were chilling.
But with the fall of Konoha's leadership,
Konoha's overall strength had dropped by almost 40%.
The ninja world smelled blood.
And a dark, violent storm began brewing...

Yunyin Village (Hidden Cloud)
Located in the Land of Lightning, Yunyin Village was the most militarized of the Five Great Villages.
After the Third Ninja War, their strength had grown steadily.
Thanks to incidents like the Hyuga affair years ago, Konoha's prestige had already weakened, allowing Yunyin to almost catch up.
Now—
Near the central mountain ranges of Yunyin:
Boom!!
A huge collision echoed through the mountains.
Two chakra-cloaked figures, wrapped in lightning, clashed violently, releasing shockwaves that tore through the air.
"Ha!! That's what I'm talking about!"
The Fourth Raikage, A (Ay), roared with laughter, delighted.
"Stupid, idiot, I'm done fighting,"
Killer Bee muttered, backing away while massaging his bruised fist.
"Hahaha!"
Ay laughed heartily — but then—
Whoosh!
Mabui, his secretary, rushed in, pale with panic.
"Lord Raikage, urgent news!!"
"Hmm? Something wrong?"
Ay frowned seriously. "Is it about the ninja world?"
"Yes! Something massive has happened to Konoha!"
Mabui stuttered through her shock.
---
"The entire Konoha leadership — Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, Homura, and Koharu — were all killed by Uchiha Yuta. Konoha Village is now under Uchiha control!"
"What?!"
"Impossible!!"
Ay and Killer Bee both froze in shock, exchanging horrified glances.
Sarutobi Hiruzen — the strongest Hokage — was dead?
Killed by the Uchiha clan?!
It was unimaginable.
---
Mabui took a deep breath and said, "The entire ninja world is rioting. Even the Land of Fire is shaking."
"Hahaha...!!"
Ay finally laughed fiercely, his eyes flashing dangerously.
"Gather the high council immediately!
Yunyin Village has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"Lord Raikage, you mean...?"
"Exactly," Ay said coldly.
"With Hiruzen dead, the title of the 'strongest village' is up for grabs."
---
Iwagakure (Hidden Stone)
Inside the Tsuchikage's office,
Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, hovered silently over his desk, clutching the intelligence report, disbelief written all over his face.
Wiped out... Konoha's entire leadership... by Uchiha Yuta?
For a long while, nobody dared breathe loudly.
Loess, Kurotsuchi, and the others looked equally shocked.
Finally, a grim light flashed in Onoki's eyes.
"Mobilize Iwa-nin."
He said coldly,
"As one of the Five Great Villages, we must seek 'justice' for Konoha's fallen."
Of course, "justice" was just a pretext.
The real goal: Attack Konoha while it's weak.
Now was the perfect time.
---
Sunagakure (Hidden Sand)
In the Kazekage's office,
Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, burst out laughing madly.
"Hahaha!
Hiruzen, Danzo, Homura, Koharu — you old dogs finally got what you deserved!"
Delight! Absolute delight!
As the village that suffered the most under Konoha's oppression during every ninja war, Sunagakure hated Konoha's upper echelons with a passion.
Now, with Konoha leaderless,
Rasa was eager to rip apart the weakened village and take back what was stolen.
---
Kirigakure (Hidden Mist)
Because of the brutal "Blood Mist" policy, Hidden Mist had declined sharply.
But after the Third War, Terumi Mei and Ao exposed the Fourth Mizukage's mind control and ended the bloody regime.
Currently, elder "Genji" (Master Yuan) led the village.
---
At a high-level meeting:
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance!"
"After our internal disasters, our Mist Village is weak, but if we strike Konoha now, we can regain power!"
The Mist leaders were eager, almost rabid.
"Terumi, what do you think?"
Master Yuan asked softly.
Terumi Mei hesitated — she didn't really want another war — but...
Wuyin needed to rebuild its strength.
"I understand,"
she finally said.
"Good,"
Master Yuan's eyes gleamed coldly.
"This time, I'll personally lead the operation."
---
One Day Later:
Yunyin Village, Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure all issued statements:
They "severely condemned" the Uchiha Clan for their actions,
accusing them of breaking the peace treaty from the Third Great Ninja War.
Each village claimed they would "send troops" to Konoha to "seek justice."
---
Boom!!!
As soon as the news spread,
The entire ninja world exploded.
