Chapter 32 "The Awakening of Susanoo"
The people of the Hokage Clan and Kumogakure were taken aback.
The Third Hokage didn't know what Uchiha Kaien intended by stepping forward at this moment.
But he wouldn't allow Konoha to go to war with Kumogakure again.
Yugito frowned. She hadn't expected a variable like Uchiha Kaien to appear just as the Hokage was pressuring the Hyuga family.
On their end, she was ready to pull back and renegotiate—but Kaien had disrupted everything.
Still putting on an act, Yugito spoke up:
"Uchiha Kaien, our people from Kumogakure have died tragically in the Hyuga household, and you're talking nonsense?"
But Kaien didn't accept it in the slightest.
"Drop the act. You sent a sacrificial pawn to test Konoha's response. So stop pretending."
"Now that you've seen it, you know Konoha doesn't dare to go to war again."
Kaien raised a finger, smirking.
"But there's one thing you got wrong."
Everyone present paled. They all knew the truth—but to have it spoken aloud, that was a different matter.
Yugito dropped the façade, her face cold.
"What did we get wrong?"
Kaien walked forward, clenching his fists.
"I killed that idiot. With a single punch. It had nothing to do with the Hyuga family."
"You!"
Yugito was both shocked and furious.
"Hey, don't ask. I didn't like his face, so I killed him. Simple as that."
Kaien said it with such audacity that it left everyone stunned.
"Not convinced? Come and kill me, then."
Yugito shouted:
"Killer Bee!"
"Lariat!"
Killer Bee, cloaked in Tailed Beast Chakra, appeared in a flash, unable to hold back any longer.
His body surged with lightning chakra as he charged forward at blinding speed.
Stones shattered underfoot, and even the thick ground slabs cracked from the force of his steps.
"Kaien!"
Hiashi was panicked—he hadn't expected things to escalate so quickly.
Fugaku, on the other hand, stood with his arms crossed, clearly confident in Kaien's strength.
Then, in an instant—
BOOM! BOOM!
A deafening roar exploded through the area. Smoke and dust rose high.
A golden giant rose from the ground.
Kaien's Susanoo had taken form—beyond the skeletal stage, now fully clothed in muscle and armor, wrapped in a majestic tunic of chakra.
The overflowing chakra storm shook everyone's heart.
Killer Bee was slammed to the ground like a bug.
"Susanoo!!"
Everyone gasped in unison.
The Third Hokage's face darkened. He hadn't expected Kaien to possess a Mangekyō Sharingan.
Yugito's heart pounded in fear—was this the divine power of the Uchiha?!
"Damn it!!"
Killer Bee, however, wasn't so easily defeated. Despite being pinned, he refused to admit defeat.
As he struggled, dark red chakra surged from his body—tailed beast chakra!
Multiple tails appeared—a half-transformation of the Eight-Tails!
Kaien's Susanoo raised its hand to finish him off when—
BOOM!
Another towering figure emerged.
A second Susanoo, this one purple-black, descended with immense power, slamming another palm down.
It was Fugaku, revealing his own Susanoo.
Two Susanoo warriors stood tall side by side, their combined pressure so immense that the surrounding shinobi were knocked off their feet by sheer chakra force.
With divine power overwhelming the battlefield, young Killer Bee was stomped into submission.
The sickening sound of bones cracking echoed. Killer Bee screamed, then fell unconscious as the tailed beast's cloak faded away.
Yugito trembled.
"Even the Eight-Tails' half-beast form can't stand up to their Susanoo?!"
Kaien grabbed the unconscious Killer Bee and coldly said:
"If it's war you want, I'll crush Killer Bee's neck right now. Your choice, Yugito."
Killer Bee's life was in Kaien's hands. Yugito hesitated.
"Wait! What do you want, Uchiha Kaien!?"
Kaien stood tall in the center of the battlefield, controlling the colossal Susanoo.
"Didn't you plan this whole situation? What's the matter—don't like being caught in your trap?"
His mocking gaze silenced her. She couldn't retaliate—not with Killer Bee captured and certainly not with two Mangekyō-wielding Uchiha standing before her.
Meanwhile, the Third Hokage and his faction looked like cowards. It was Kumogakure's plot.
They had betrayed Hyuga, forcing them to handle the fallout.
As Susanoo's presence intensified, more and more shinobi gathered.
Yugito's expression turned bitter—this was a complete failure.
She clenched her teeth.
"This time... we were in the wrong. Please release Killer Bee."
Kaien nodded to Fugaku, who deactivated his Susanoo.
Kaien then released his as well and tossed the injured Killer Bee toward Konoha's side.
"I don't accept the terms of this peace treaty. We'll renegotiate."
He spoke nonsense on purpose—he didn't know the actual terms of the agreement, but this was a good time to earn some political favor.
And why help Konoha?
"Third Hokage… our Uchiha clan district is now well protected. We won't need your Anbu watching over us anymore.
Otherwise, I might accidentally hurt someone."
Kaien emphasized "in the same village" with a pointed tone.
The Third Hokage stood up.
"The Uchiha compound was under construction, so we placed Anbu there for nighttime safety.
But now that it's finished, we'll withdraw our forces."
Kaien nodded, then turned to Hiashi.
"Lord Hiashi, you're welcome to visit our new district anytime."
Hiashi gave a cold glance to the Third Hokage, then sincerely replied:
"Once I've handled family matters, I will come visit."
"Let's go."
Kaien gestured to Fugaku and the other Uchiha, and they left.
The Third Hokage saw the look in Hiashi's eyes and knew they'd been played by the Uchiha again.
But Raikuro Yashiki had started this conflict—so, swallowing his pride, he turned to Yugito.
"Lady Yugito, there were... flaws in our peace treaty. I believe we need to renegotiate."
Back at the Uchiha compound, Fugaku was slightly unsteady on his feet. Kaien quickly supported him.
"Patriarch, you didn't need to step in. I could've handled Kumogakure alone."
Fugaku covered his eyes and sat down slowly.
"You were too reckless this time. If Yugito had joined the fight, you couldn't have taken on both Jinchūriki alone.
I had to ensure Killer Bee was suppressed quickly."
He was panting—his eyes ached, his vision blurred.
Kaien was ashamed. Fugaku still worried for his sake.
Kaien's confidence came from the fusion of several Mangekyō Sharingan powers.
His eye power far surpassed ordinary Mangekyō.
It was only a matter of time before he awakened the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
His second-stage Susanoo was already enough to suppress Killer Bee.
If necessary, he could even use the third stage.
No one in Konoha could match him now.
The Uchiha no longer needed to bow to the village.
"Patriarch… your eyes… is your vision fading?"
….
