Naruto: Zanka No Tachi

Chapter 49: NZNT: Chapter 49

Sasuke’s arrogant expression hadn’t had time to change. His eyes were filled with shock.

”Impossible!!!”

”I, Uchiha Sasuke, was actually defeated by this unremarkable outsider!” Sasuke, wrapped in snow and unable to move, couldn’t accept this reality.

Seeing that Sasuke had been defeated in one move by Yota, who seemed ordinary, all the children watching were stunned. They hadn’t expected that Sasuke, who had been so imposing a second ago, would be subdued in the next.

At this time, a group of little girls came to their senses. They immediately went forward to help Sasuke remove the snow from his body.

Naruto scratched his head. He hadn’t expected his friend to defeat that stinky Sasuke so easily.

The reason why Yota could defeat Sasuke so easily was because he had a very powerful bloodline limit — weather manipulation!

Because he was still young, Yota wasn’t very proficient in manipulating the weather. He often activated his bloodline limit ability based on his emotions. For example, when Yota was happy, the weather nearby would become very sunny. When Yota was sad, it would rain heavily.

Yota could control the power of the weather with precision. For example, he could focus the rain on a very small area to attack an enemy. This would even cause the enemy to be directly overwhelmed by a large amount of rain and unable to stand.

But because of Yota’s powerful talent, he also had a bloodline disease that was difficult to cure, just like Kimimaro. If he hadn’t met Tsunade and Kabuto, Yota would have died around this age, just like in the original story. Later, he would have been resurrected by Orochimaru’s ”Edo Tensei” technique.

At this time, Itachi, who was under a tree nearby, slowly turned his head to look at Kabuto, who was beside him. But there seemed to be a glimmer of killing intent hidden in his calm eyes. After all, Yota, who had taught his precious little brother a lesson, was now under Kabuto’s care.

Kabuto, who was being watched by Itachi, pretended not to see him. He pushed up his glasses, but a bead of cold sweat slowly dripped down his forehead.

Seeing this, Izumi covered her mouth with her hand and tried to hold back her laughter.

At the same time, in the Third Hokage’s office.

”Sarutobi, I’ve received information that the Uchiha clan is planning a coup.”

”The situation is urgent. We need to respond immediately!”

Danzō sat opposite the Third Hokage and said in a deep voice.

At this time, the Third Hokage also frowned. He said slowly, ”I also heard from Shisui. The radicals within the Uchiha clan do have some ideas, but it hasn’t reached the point of a coup.”

”We shouldn’t take drastic measures now. That will only exacerbate the conflict with the Uchiha clan.”

Danzō was furious when he heard this. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up. ”Humph, Sarutobi Hiruzen, it’s because of your indecision that we’re in this situation.”

”What gradual weakening of the Uchiha clan, gradually dismantling their power, that’s all nonsense!”

”Although I hate the Uchiha, I have to admit that they are truly gifted. They produce experts one after another. Not to mention that Uchiha Yusuke, there are also many talented young people in their clan.”

”You want to use Shisui to win over Uchiha Itachi to Root. That plan has already failed. If something happens to Shisui, and he’s no longer under your control, do you think we’ll be able to stand up to the Uchiha clan?”

As he said this, Danzō couldn’t help but think of a conflict he had with Yusuke a year ago.

At that time, Root had discovered a child with a powerful bloodline limit that could control the weather. Danzō ordered his men to bring the child to Root.

Unfortunately, the Root members who were sent returned empty-handed. The child was actually staying with the Uchiha clan, temporarily living in Yusuke’s home.

After learning this information, Danzō wasn’t willing to give up on the child. He even went there himself, planning to take the child away by force.

But when he arrived at the Uchiha clan and encountered Yusuke, he realized that Yusuke at that time was already an opponent that Root couldn’t handle!

As the two sides faced each other, the aura that Uchiha Yusuke exuded was something that he and all the Root ninjas present couldn’t resist. The shock that seemed to come from the soul level made him lose all courage to snatch the child away.

Actually, Yusuke had already mastered the ability to project Reiatsu at that time. This was how Yusuke intimidated Danzō, preventing him from acting rashly.

The Third Hokage also knew about this incident. He had originally thought that Danzō, who had gone to the Uchiha clan headquarters himself, would definitely succeed. But he didn’t expect Danzō to give up in the end.

Later, when he asked Danzō what had happened, Danzō didn’t tell the real reason, which was that he was terrified at the time. He just gave a perfunctory explanation that he didn’t want to cause a large-scale conflict with the Uchiha clan for now.

Hearing Danzō’s analysis of the Uchiha clan’s strength, the Third Hokage adjusted his sitting posture. He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and fell into thought.

After a moment, the Third Hokage opened his eyes and said slowly, ”Let’s use Shisui’s eyes to control Fugaku.”

”Although Fugaku’s control over the clan is no longer strong, he’s still the clan leader, and his personal strength is also very strong.”

”We can control him and then use more forceful methods to focus on attacking the radicals within the Uchiha clan.”

”No!” Danzō objected at this time.

”Shisui’s so-called ’Kotoamatsukami’ ability has never been used. The effect of the ability is completely uncertain. And if it fails, it will alert them, and Shisui’s identity will be completely exposed.”

Although Danzō said this, he was actually considering three other factors.

First, Danzō had his sights set on Shisui’s Sharingan. He didn’t want to use ”Kotoamatsukami,” which had a very long cooldown, at this time.

Second, if Shisui used his ability to control Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Fugaku wouldn’t obey him. He would obey the Third Hokage. This would be meaningless for him and Danzō. And if the Uchiha clan were truly brought under the Third Hokage’s control, it would make it more difficult for him to compete for the Hokage position in the future.

Third, for Danzō, who hated the Uchiha clan, they had no reason to exist. It was better to completely eliminate them!

Hearing Danzō’s objections, the Third Hokage thought for a moment and felt that there was some truth to it. He asked back, ”Then do you have any suitable plans?”

A cold smile curled up at the corner of Danzō’s mouth. His left eye, which was exposed from the bandage, narrowed, flashing a sharp gleam.

”Of course. As long as you agree, this plan will be foolproof.”

”The Uchiha, this tumor, will disappear from the ninja world completely!”
