Chapter 27 - Chapter 27: Suppression! Attacking the Root Base

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Uchiha Sora's gaze narrowed.

Yesterday, White Zetsu impersonated Shisui to find Fugaku. It seems the real intention was to drive a wedge between himself and Fugaku!

By using Shisui's corpse and then tampering with the information on it, he would truly be unable to clear his name when the time came.

It seems this was the backup plan Uchiha Obito had used to deal with him earlier.

"Uchiha Sora, what else do you, a traitor to the family, have to say?" Uchiha Fugaku said coldly.

"Why should I explain anything to you?" Uchiha Sora said indifferently. "Before you question me, you should first consider whether you have the strength to do so!"

"Hmph! How arrogant! Take him down!" Uchiha Fugaku waved his hand and ordered.

The surrounding members of the Uchiha Police Force were all filled with righteous indignation as they closed in on Uchiha Sora.

Uchiha Sora frowned slightly.

He drew the long sword at his waist, and a surge of lightning-attribute Chakra condensed upon the blade.

With a gentle swing toward his surroundings, a sheet of lightning arcs instantly scattered around him.

Caught off guard, the group of people rushing forward were struck by the lightning, falling to the ground paralyzed and unable to move.

In the next moment, Uchiha Sora's figure flashed as he rushed forward, knocking the entire group to the ground with a few punches and kicks.

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Fugaku's face turned ashen.

"You actually dare to resist! Very well! You truly are a traitor!" he shouted angrily, drawing a Kunai and personally charging forward with his Sharingan activated.

Uchiha Fugaku's strength was quite good; as the clan head, although he wasn't as powerful as Shisui, his basic abilities had all reached the peak of a Jonin. He was an elite among elites, even stronger than Kakashi.

Even compared to the Hokage, the gap was not far.

He originally thought that he could take down Uchiha Sora by taking action himself.

But to his surprise, Uchiha Sora's strength exceeded his expectations. Whether in Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, or various reactions, it was almost impossible for him to find any flaws.

The two fought for dozens of rounds in close combat before finally breaking apart.

Uchiha Fugaku formed hand seals and spat a massive fireball directly from his mouth!

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

Uchiha Sora also formed seals, returning the favor with his own Great Fireball!

The two massive fireballs collided, and a wave of scorching heat instantly swept out in all directions.

The members of the Police Force hurriedly dodged to the sides.

Under the infusion of powerful Chakra, the two Great Fireballs continued to clash, their power already far exceeding the ordinary C-rank category.

However, Uchiha Fugaku soon discovered that his Great Fireball was gradually losing ground. His expression couldn't help but change, his heart filled with shock and confusion.

One must know that he was in his prime, and his Chakra volume was not inferior to the current Third Hokage. Yet Uchiha Sora was only 11 years old, the same age as his own son—why was his Chakra volume also so massive?

Moreover, what was most incomprehensible was that as the clan head, performing his most proficient Fire Release, he was actually being suppressed!

Boom!

Just as Uchiha Fugaku was filled with uncertainty, Uchiha Sora increased the infusion of Chakra and simultaneously activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan!

Under the Damage Doubling talent, the power of the Great Fireball suddenly doubled!

In an instant, Uchiha Sora's fireball overwhelmed Uchiha Fugaku's, surging toward him.

Seeing this, Uchiha Fugaku hurriedly retreated wildly, only then managing to avoid the fireball's assault.

But in his haste, he was still left looking somewhat disheveled by the blast of scorching air.

"Uchiha Fugaku, you are only so-so!" Uchiha Sora shook his head in disappointment.

He knew Fugaku might be hiding a Mangekyo, but he had a Mangekyo as well. Furthermore, he had many trump cards he hadn't used yet. If it really came to a life-and-death struggle, he was absolutely confident he could kill Uchiha Fugaku.

However, Uchiha Sora couldn't be bothered to tangle with Fugaku further. The people he wanted to deal with now weren't him, but the Third Hokage and Danzo.

"Uchiha Sora, with such strength, why do you still act as a running dog for the Konoha higher-ups?" Uchiha Fugaku said angrily. "If you stood on the side of the family, and with Shisui still alive, how hard would it be to even overthrow Konoha?"

"I can't be bothered to explain it to you! Figure it out yourself!" Uchiha Sora shook his head.

After saying that, Uchiha Sora vanished in a flash.

Leaving behind a Suicide Note from Shisui, which drifted down to the ground.

In any case, he was about to take action against the Konoha higher-ups soon, and he believed Uchiha Fugaku would understand before long.

The next moment, Uchiha Sora appeared outside the Root Base.

The Root Base was not in the center of Konoha Village, but underground in a forest on the outskirts of the village.

Over the past two years, Uchiha Sora had already planted Flying Thunder God Formula Mark coordinates at various important locations in Konoha.

He naturally wouldn't overlook the area near the entrance of the Root Base.

He came here, naturally, to find trouble for Danzo.

However, this was Danzo's headquarters after all. It wouldn't be that easy to kill Danzo on his own turf.

But if it was just to cause destruction and snatch some Ninjutsu data, he could still manage it.

Uchiha Sora had already made plans to leave Konoha. Before leaving, he naturally wouldn't make things easy for the Third Hokage and Danzo.

He created a Shadow Clone and sent it to the Root Base entrance to launch an attack, drawing the attention of the sentries.

Soon, a conflict broke out between the two sides.

"Enemy attack! It's an enemy attack!" The Root Organization members immediately sounded the alarm.

One after another, figures of Root Organization members rushed out, surrounding Uchiha Sora's Shadow Clone.

Although Sora's Shadow Clone had only half of his Chakra volume, compared to these Root Organization members, its strength was very powerful.

Even as a Shadow Clone, the power of its various Ninjutsu and skills was not weakened much.

Fire Release, Lightning Release, Wind Release, Earth Release, Water Release...

The various release techniques he had learned before were unleashed upon those Root Organization members as if they cost nothing.

The opponents had the advantage of numbers, but facing Uchiha Sora's endless stream of Ninjutsu, they were left with only the power to defend.

Taking this opportunity, Uchiha Sora's main body quietly slipped into the underground Root Base.

After entering the base, he created more Shadow Clones and let them search all over the base.

Any Root members he encountered along the way were all taken down by his Genjutsu.

A few minutes later, he and his Shadow Clones arrived at the center of the base, the entrance to the underground hall.

Looking toward the entrance, many Root Organization members were gathering in the wide underground hall.

The infiltration of Uchiha Sora and his Shadow Clones was quickly discovered by the Root members in the hall.

"The enemy has entered! Take him down quickly!" someone shouted.

Suddenly, at least a hundred Root members rushed toward Uchiha Sora and his Shadow Clones.

Uchiha Sora looked at one of the Shadow Clones.

The Shadow Clone nodded slightly and charged straight ahead.

The group of Root members had already prepared various hidden weapons and Ninjutsu attacks, hurling them all at the Shadow Clone.

Some attacks even tried to bypass the Shadow Clone to strike Sora's main body.

It was at this moment that the Shadow Clone suddenly pulled a handful of exploding tags from its robes and scattered them around.

Immediately after, the Shadow Clone formed a hand seal and directly detonated these exploding tags!

Boom boom boom!!!

In an instant, a series of explosions rang out across the area.

Sora's Shadow Clone was submerged in the explosions.

And those Root members who had drawn close to attack the Shadow Clone were also inadvertently caught in the blast.

However, these people were elites after all, and they had ways to deal with mere exploding tags. In the moment of crisis, they each performed their best defensive Ninjutsu.

Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!

Water Release: Water Formation Wall!

And various other Secret Technique defenses.

Looking at this scene, Uchiha Sora couldn't help but smile. "These aren't ordinary exploding tags!"

These were the Mutually Multiplying Exploding Tags from the Second Hokage that he had obtained from the scroll of seals!

There were dozens of these exploding tags scattered by the Shadow Clone, and each one represented infinite explosive power!

Using exploding tags to summon more exploding tags—as long as the number of exploding tags prepared was sufficient, even the strongest defense would be of no concern!

Over the past two years, Uchiha Sora had spent almost all his money on purchasing exploding tags.

The exploding tags prepared this time numbered at least ten thousand!

With so many exploding tags performing pinpoint detonations, the defenses of those Root Ninjas simply couldn't hold out.

Perhaps they could block ten or twenty exploding tags, but they absolutely couldn't block the continuous bombardment of ten thousand exploding tags!

Boom boom boom...

The violent explosions, accompanied by bursts of fire, caused the entire underground hall to tremble.

The air was filled with the thick scent of explosions.

Under such high-intensity explosions, those Root members who had previously thought to rush Sora's main body were forced to lie on the ground, not daring to show their faces.

And those who were close had long since been incinerated in the explosions.

Seeing this, Uchiha Sora left some Shadow Clones behind to stop these people, while he and the other Shadow Clones headed to other parts of the underground hall to conduct a carpet search.

His main goal in coming in this time was Danzo's collection.

From the original plot, he knew that Danzo had the cultivation scrolls for Wood Style Secret Techniques in his hands.

Furthermore, Danzo had been active in the shadows for a long time, and there was no telling how many unknown things he had done. His collection was definitely not less than that of the Third Hokage.

This was already the core of the Root Base. While some Shadow Clones occupied the attention of a large number of Root members, the other Shadow Clones began searching the various secret rooms.

At this moment, a sharp sound of wind suddenly rang out in the underground hall.

Accompanied by a gloomy, aged voice.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!"

Sharp breaths like those of a Kamaitachi instantly swept across Sora's Shadow Clones.

Pop pop pop...

In an instant, half of the Shadow Clones were struck off guard and vanished into clouds of white smoke.

Uchiha Sora, who was searching the secret rooms, couldn't help but have his expression tighten.

Danzo had finally appeared!

Knowing that those Shadow Clones definitely couldn't stop him, Uchiha Sora flashed out and arrived in the underground hall.

At this time, Danzo, surrounded by a group of subordinates, walked toward him with a gloomy face. "Uchiha Sora! You have quite the nerve! To dare attack my headquarters!"
