Chapter 33: Mito Uzumaki: Son, You're Not Up to It. Let Mom Take Over!
In the massive crater, there was no trace of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzo. They had been blasted to dust, their bodies and bones completely obliterated.
However, the ninja clans present didn't feel any extra pity. Participating in a struggle that wasn't theirs led to this outcome.
People had to have some self-awareness!
The clan heads were already planning to hold family meetings. Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzo were the best examples: arrogance only led to death, and could even involve the entire clan.
The Shimura clan had been removed from Konoha's records.
How could the Sarutobi clan's fate be any better than the Shimura clan's?
They would merely eke out a living in Konoha, bowing and scraping for decades, waiting for the Uchiha to forget the incident.
"It seems Tobirama Senju's judgment was quite ordinary. The heir he chose couldn't shoulder the burden of Konoha."
Uchiha Nan spoke to everyone present, then turned his gaze towards Mito Uzumaki. The previous battle was just an appetizer; to become Hokage, the most important thing was to deal with Mito Uzumaki.
"Who else wants to become Hokage?"
"Anyone can step forward now. Konoha is democratic; as long as you have the heart to protect Konoha, you have the chance to participate in the Hokage election."
"This is also the First Hokage's original intention!"
Uchiha Nan's voice was loud, sweeping across everyone present. Almost no one dared to step forward and say, "I also want to become Hokage."
Weren't the previous two examples clear enough?
The ninja blade in Uchiha Nan's hand was still dripping with blood! Stepping onto the stage meant a life-or-death struggle!
Who wanted to court death?
Toka Senju, standing next to Mito Uzumaki, had a grave expression. Had Uchiha Nan's strength reached this level?
He had effortlessly dealt with Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzo, as if killing chickens!
Uchiha Nan was so strong he seemed to have no weaknesses. He could unleash S-rank ninjutsu at will, his swordsmanship was divine, and his genjutsu was naturally beyond question.
Although Uchiha Nan hadn't used genjutsu, trying to show off genjutsu in front of the Uchiha's Sharingan would probably be laughable.
Currently, Uchiha Nan had only activated the three-tomoe Sharingan, and even the Mangekyou Sharingan hadn't been seen. This was the information Toka Senju truly wanted to obtain.
Legend had it that the Mangekyou Sharingan would unlock two powerful dojutsu, but he didn't know if it was true.
He had never seen Madara Uchiha use them; every time his father and Madara fought, it was a battle between giants.
Toka Senju was now very hesitant. If he faced Uchiha Nan, he would likely die.
Knowing he would die, should he still go?
Toka Senju didn't have such a strong mindset. He had many attachments.
Little Tsunade, his beautiful wife, his mother still needed him.
But he couldn't hesitate now. If he delayed, Uchiha Nan would truly become Hokage.
Mito Uzumaki had been observing Toka Senju, seeing his inner struggle.
With Uchiha Nan's abilities, her son couldn't handle him. Mito Uzumaki didn't believe Uchiha Nan would show mercy to Toka Senju; he would definitely go for the kill!
"Then let this old woman give you a try!"
Mito Uzumaki finally stepped forward. Since her son's strength was insufficient, she, as a mother, had to step up.
The Senju clan couldn't hold back any longer.
Mito Uzumaki's strength was well-known. No one present knew if Uchiha Nan could defeat her.
However, the result was no longer important!
Hinata Takuma, standing in the crowd, couldn't hide his excitement.
Uchiha Nan's strength had far exceeded Hinata Takuma's expectations, and what they had seen was just the tip of the iceberg.
The Uchiha's younger generation had produced a pillar, while Toka Senju of the Senju clan paled in comparison to Uchiha Nan.
Even if Mito Uzumaki won and became Hokage, what then?
How many more years could she live?
The Uchiha had won the future!
As long as Mito Uzumaki died, Konoha would belong to the Uchiha.
He had bet on the right horse this time.
"Alright, just what I wanted!"
Uchiha Nan smiled, his gaze intentionally drifting towards Toka Senju.
It was a very obvious taunt.
This made Toka Senju feel aggrieved. He had never been treated like this; he had always used his strength to overwhelm others.
Strength!
He now desperately craved his father Hashirama Senju's strength. If he could inherit Wood Style, the situation would be completely different.
Suddenly, he remembered an experiment, an experiment that Tobirama Senju had urgently stopped...
Toka Senju was lost in thought, while Mito Uzumaki had stepped in front of Uchiha Nan, wearing armor she hadn't worn in a long time.
Ding!
Mangekyou Sharingan Experience Card -1
Uchiha Nan directly used the Mangekyou Sharingan, without any hesitation. Good steel should be used on the blade.
If Mito Uzumaki went berserk, the three-tomoe Sharingan couldn't control the Nine-Tails.
Pain was turned into a pixelated face by the four-tailed Naruto, and Nagato couldn't seal Naruto even with a desperate Planetary Devastation.
Caution was paramount; being killed carelessly would be a huge joke.
Good luck!
Uchiha Nan felt the dojutsu power. This time, he had randomly received Obito Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan.
Kamui!
A top-tier life-saving technique, for both offense and escape!
Wouldn't it be great to find an opportunity to give Mito Uzumaki a hard blow, a chance to cut her?
"Lord Mito, this place is too small. How about we change locations?"
Uchiha Nan looked around. This place was too close to the center of Konoha. If Mito Uzumaki transformed into a Tailed Beast and he activated Susanoo, they would be fighting each other.
Any random strike could blow Konoha to the sky. How much money would it take to rebuild Konoha?
"Just what I was thinking!"
Mito Uzumaki also noticed the problem. The Nine-Tails' power was equivalent to an S-rank forbidden technique with every strike, and so was Uchiha Nan's Susanoo.
Playing with S-rank forbidden techniques near the center of Konoha meant Konoha could just disband.
"To the Forest of Death!"
The area surrounding Konoha was mostly forest, all belonging to Konoha. Due to its large size, it was filled with various wild beasts and monsters.
Many villagers who went to the forest to hunt and gather were attacked by beasts, resulting in significant deaths.
Over time, the surrounding forests were collectively known as the Forest of Death.
"Agreed!"
Mito Uzumaki nodded. It was indeed a suitable place. In fact, she wanted to go to the Valley of the End more.
It was where Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha had their final battle, and the result was well-known.
Hashirama Senju won a narrow victory, and Madara Uchiha suffered a regrettable defeat.
Mito Uzumaki represented the Senju, and Uchiha Nan represented the Uchiha.
If Mito Uzumaki won against Uchiha Nan in the Valley of the End, it would have extraordinary political significance.
As long as the Senju clan wasn't destroyed, the Uchiha clan would always be second-rate in Konoha.
Unfortunately, the Valley of the End was a bit far, and it would take some time to get there.
