Kazuki's words made Fugaku even more furious.

Kazuki controlled Three-Tails to destroy Kirigakure, which seemed to imply that he could also control Six-Tails to attack them.

In Fugaku's eyes, Kazuki was showing off, telling him that he, Kazuki, had done all of this, and there was nothing Fugaku could do about it.

Damn Kazuki!

If Fugaku had previously only considered Kazuki a competitor, now Kazuki was his sworn, irreconcilable enemy.

He thought of his subordinates, his cousin, who had died protecting him, and the Uchiha who had died because they were willing to follow him. And the culprit behind all of this was the man right in front of him.

But he couldn't show his anger in front of Kazuki, otherwise, the other party would definitely make him die mysteriously on the front line, or stage a scene where he will be found with dozens of kunai in his back, ultimately ruled a suicide.

Kazuki gave Fugaku a deep look, then turned and left.

Fugaku had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, which seemed troublesome, but it was still just the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Facing him, who had awakened the Rinnegan, the Mangekyo Sharingan couldn't make any waves, just like how Sasuke, even with the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in the future, still felt powerless against Madara.

Even though both were Indra Chakra reincarnations, the gap between them before and after awakening the Rinnegan was not small. Not to mention that Madara was inherently stronger than Sasuke.

He just didn't know what Fugaku's Mangekyo Sharingan ability was.

Unfortunately, Fugaku's Mangekyo Sharingan had no effect on Mikoto, otherwise, Kazuki would have wanted to keep his eyes as spare eyes for Mikoto.

Even if Mikoto awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan in the future, Kazuki would still have to solve her eyesight problem. Otherwise, if Mikoto lost her sight, it would surely be very uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, Fugaku and Mikoto had no blood relation, so even if he wanted to use his eyes, he couldn't do so properly.

Watching Kazuki's departing back, Fugaku clenched his fists. He has to leave the front line as soon as possible, otherwise, he won't even know how he will die.

The Mangekyo Sharingan is powerful, but not invincible.

...

News spread quickly in the Ninja World, and Tsunade and Orochimaru soon received intelligence from the Kirigakure front line.

"Releasing Three-Tails to destroy Kirigakure, but I didn't expect the Third Mizukage and Six-Tails to arrive at the front line, catching Konoha off guard." Orochimaru said, holding the message, his gaze deep.

At first, he also suspected that Kazuki might have done this on purpose, but after careful thought, Orochimaru dismissed the idea.

Kazuki didn't need to do that. With his current strength, dealing with Homura was not a problem, and dealing with Fugaku was even less so.

As long as he proceeded systematically, the position of Uchiha clan head was his for the taking, and the position of Hokage was the same.

"It seems there's trouble over there." Tsunade raised an eyebrow, wanting to do something, but neither she nor Orochimaru could do anything.

War made people grow quickly.

After a few years, both Tsunade and Orochimaru had significantly gotten stronger. At least when facing the Third Kazekage, they could fight him evenly together. This was something they couldn't have imagined before.

After all, the Third Kazekage's strength might not be inferior to Hanzo's, but now they could cooperate to fight on equal footing with the Third Kazekage, which was a huge step forward.

If Jiraiya were also here, they could probably defeat the Third Kazekage.

As for the other Kage level individual in Sunagakure, Sakumo was left to deal with her alone. In terms of strength, Sakumo might not be superior to Chiyo, but he was the bane of puppeteers.

Tsunade knew that there might be many casualties in Kirigakure. She was willing to help but was powerless, at least the Sunagakure battlefield could not do without her.

Fortunately, there was still Kazuki. With his strength, he should be able to solve these troubles.

Orochimaru said with emotion, "Yes, it is indeed a bit troublesome."

"Sensei has made Kazuki a commander and assigned him many troops, including many members of the Sarutobi clan, Utatane clan, and Ino–Shika–Chō."

"It seems sensei is paving the way for the future."

"His strength is too great. Losing to him in competition isn't your fault." Tsunade patted Orochimaru's shoulder.

After all, Orochimaru was her good friend who had grown up with her since childhood. She didn't want there to be any conflict between Orochimaru and Kazuki, even though they had discussed this a long time ago.

However, the support Kazuki was receiving now was something Orochimaru hadn't had before.

"I have no dissatisfaction. Tsunade, if it were me, I would also support Kazuki becoming Hokage." Orochimaru looked at Tsunade seriously.

"I am completely convinced by Kazuki. Neither sensei nor Kazuki have wronged me."

"I'm just thinking that some people might be furious, and besides, all of this is happening too quickly."

"Through this war, Kazuki will gain the recognition of the vast majority of people, after all, he saved the Kirigakure front line by turning the tide."

"Danzo? Now Homura will be severely weakened even if he doesn't die." Tsunade pursed her lips.

"I don't know why those guys have so much malice towards Kazuki, even though they were teammates with Kagami back then, and Kagami helped them a lot in battle."

"Forget it, as long as that brat Kazuki doesn't go too far later, with sensei and our restraint, he won't become Madara."

Orochimaru nodded slightly, agreeing with Tsunade's words. "Alright, we should consider solving the problem of the Sunagakure battlefield."

"While such a prolonged war is beneficial to the overall situation, it is also consuming Konoha's vital forces."
