The sound of rumbling thunder gradually stopped, and the raging purple sea of thunder began to subside.
It was like an angry beast which began to restrain its anger.
After a while, only four giant metal pillars were left, standing on the messy battlefield.
There was still a buzzing current at the top of the metal pillars.
The five-minute current attack of one million volts caused a depression several meters deep in the ground. The silicon in the soil, such as gravel and so, melted at high temperatures. The forest had turned into a huge basin, with curls of white smoke rising.
The air was filled with the unpleasant smell of ozone produced by electrolysis.
But no one paid attention to this trivial anomaly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the messy battlefield.
They only felt very small in front of this huge smoky basin.
'Is this kind of power really possible for humans to master?'
Moreover, from the looks of it, it was Mirai who took the initiative to stop the attack.
If he didn't stop, how long would this attack last?
How horrific would be the damage caused?
Hiruzen's pupils were trembling slightly.
His eyes rested on four giant metal pillars emitting smoke.
'Is this the key to activating that technique?'
'If these four metal pillars were erected around the land of the Sarutobi clan...'
He didn't dare to think about it, and he couldn't even afford to think about it.
Mirai, who was suspended in the air, glanced at the battlefield, and after searching around, landed on the ground.
Fugaku and others, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately surrounded him.
"Mirai, who was the enemy you were fighting?"
Fugaku asked nervously.
Forcing Mirai to use such a terrifying attack, the opponent was definitely not an ordinary enemy.
"He was the culprit behind that night."
Mirai said calmly.
'So that's it!'
Fugaku's pupils shrank.
For Mirai to show such destructiveness, only the culprit behind that night had the qualifications...
After hearing his words, the surrounding Uchiha clan members immediately started discussing in surprise.
"That night? The night when the Nine-Tails caused chaos?"
"So Mirai-sama was actually fighting against such an enemy. That was an enemy that even the Lord Fourth could not defeat."
These sounds also reached Hiruzen's ears on the other side, and his expression suddenly changed.
'The man behind that night?'
'The enemy Mirai is fighting is actually that kind of enemy!'
"What is the other party's true identity, Mirai?"
Hiruzen asked a little guiltily.
After all, there was a rumor in the village that the culprit of the night of the Nine-Tails was Danzo's experimental subject who had escaped and came back for revenge. Although there was evidence to support that rumor, but he didn't dare to be sure whether it was true or not.
"The other person was wearing a mask, so I didn't see his face clearly."
Mirai shook his head.
The enemy was wearing a spiral mask, and with the blessing of his virtualization ability, until the last moment of the battle, he did not find a chance to destroy the opponent's mask.
Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief.
'That means it can't be proven that this incident is related to Danzo.'
But Mirai's next words made his face stiffen again.
"But what is certain is that the enemy has nothing to do with the Uchiha clan, and, for some unknown reason, he hates Konoha very much."
Mirai knew very well that Uchiha was under suspicion because of the Nine-Tails Night, and this was also the reason for their clan's relocation.
Now that there was an opportunity, it was natural to eliminate the suspicion pressed on the Uchiha clan.
"Sure enough! How could the Nine-Tails Riot have anything to do with us?"
"That's right! There is no reason for the village to be suspicious of us!"
"On the contrary, the rumor about Danzo seems to be true."
A group of Sharingan were almost crazy with excitement. For quite a while now, they had always been labeled as people who harmed the village, and they were hated wherever and whenever they passed by in the village.
How could they not be excited now that their name could finally be cleared?
Uchiha was happy, but Hiruzen and the Anbu behind him had ugly faces.
Many of these Anbu were sent by Hiruzen to monitor the Uchiha clan.
The reason was that the Uchiha clan was most likely related to the Nine-Tails Riot.
But now, Mirai told them that there was someone else behind the scenes.
So what were they doing all this time?
"Ahem! Let's talk about this later. By the way, Mirai, have you killed the other party?"
After coughing a few times, Hiruzen immediately changed the topic.
What he didn't expect was that after he asked this question, Mirai didn't answer directly.
The scene of Obito's body exploding was replayed before his eyes. Under the high-voltage current of millions of volts, his body disappeared in less than a second.
Logically speaking, he should have died.
But Mirai felt a little strange.
Obito's bio-magnetic field disappeared earlier than he expected.
The time gap was so small that it's almost impossible to detect.
It was as if his shattered body was not vaporized by high-voltage current, but disappeared out of thin air.
He looked at Fugaku seriously and asked.
"Fugaku, does the Uchiha clan has some kind of jutsu resurrect from death?"
Resurrection of the dead?
Fugaku's face stiffened.
After thinking for a while.
"Yes, there is, but the conditions for use are very harsh."
He looked at Hiruzen's position with his peripheral vision.
If such a secret technique were known to the Hiruzen, he would probably be even more afraid of Uchiha.
"What technique?"
Fugaku thought for a moment and then replied, "Izanagi, a forbidden technique that can only be used by the owners of three-tomoe Sharingan. It can correct all the factors of reality that are unfavorable to the caster and transform them into realities that are beneficial to them."
He paused.
"In other words, it can be used to resurrect from death."
The surrounding air suddenly became quiet.
Hiruzen's eyes almost became bloodshot, and it was like a huge stone was pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.
'The Uchiha clan actually possesses such a terrifying forbidden technique?'
'Aren't they invincible once they utilize this kind of forbidden technique?'
In his heart, his fear of Uchiha increased infinitely.
Sensing the change in Hiruzen, Fugaku immediately added.
"Because it caused too many killings, this technique was classified as a forbidden technique during the Warring States Period, and the inheritance was discontinued shortly afterwards in the clan. I only suddenly recalled it when I heard your question."
Hiruzen's expression softened slightly.
Judging from the surprised expressions of the tribesmen behind Fugaku, what he said should be true.
Mirai didn't pay attention to the silent conversation between the two, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Recalling the strange thing about Obito's body disappearing, 'Was that jutsu activated?'
He turned his head and scanned the surrounding battlefield, with the [Bio-Magnetic Field Perception] sensing range opened to its maximum.
No abnormalities were found.
Before the opponent activated this technique, he should have already considered how to deal with the follow-up after resurrection.
'There is a high probability that the time and location of the resurrection has been change.'
"Hehehe, how interesting."
The corners of his mouth suddenly curved.
In his blue eyes, strong excitement emerged, as if he had discovered some kind of interesting prey.
"That's what makes it interesting."
"Run away. Run away as far as you can. Run until I catch you again, and in front of your fearful and trembling eyes, I will take off your mask with my own hands!"
…
Kamui Space.
In a dim world with no trace of light-source, there were only endless stone monuments like tombstones.
Obito was lying on such a cold stone monument, breathing heavily. His whole body was soaked with sweat, and he looked extremely miserable.
The scarlet three-tomoe in his left eye gradually turned white and lost its brightness forever.
The remaining right eye was full of fear.
"Almost! I almost got killed by you!"
"Namikaze Mirai, you truly are a terrifying enemy..."
