ALL NOVEL Chapter 75: Chapter 75: The Four Symbols Seal
Chapter 75: The Four Symbols Seal
The perimeter of Konoha was under constant surveillance by sensory ninjas, and the village had gone into its highest state of alert.
However, all their efforts proved futile.
The fiery sword rising from the earth shattered their last remaining hope.
The situation had come to this.
Konoha had not wanted an unstable Uchiha in their high ranks, and the Uchiha had sought equal and just treatment.
The Uchiha had never asked for special status.
They were confident in their abilities to earn the place they deserved.
Uchiha Madara had long foreseen that this day would come.
---
Uchiha Kagami did not try to negotiate or issue any formal declaration of war to Konoha.
There was no need.
As long as he gathered enough power, he would inevitably take this step.
From a young age, he had purposefully distanced himself from those outside his clan. He didn't want to hesitate at this critical moment.
He understood Nagato's choices.
If, at the time, Nagato had asked Jiraiya, and Jiraiya's answer had been to stop him…
Kagami was ready to kill him.
He never considered himself a "good guy," nor did he uphold the ideals of peace in the ninja world.
What he wanted was for the people he cared about to no longer be mired in the painful quagmire of this world.
Just like he had said in the beginning… Uchiha Itachi.
You and I are the true Uchiha.
We are just different in the things we care about.
---
There was no panic on the battlefield. Despite the enormous crisis, the power of Konoha had already gathered into one force.
The East Line had been out of contact for several days. With Nara Shikaku now seeing Kagami in person, they had received information.
Orochimaru, Mito Kado, and the others stood atop the broken walls.
Before them stood thousands of Konoha ninja—elite members from all the ninja clans and civilian ninjas. Only the most capable could be on the front lines; ordinary genin had no place here.

Kagami lifted his gaze and locked eyes with Orochimaru, slightly surprised, his lips curling into a faint smile.
"Not the Third Hokage, but you, Orochimaru?"
Orochimaru wore a cryptic smile.
"Disappointed, Kagami?"
Kagami shook his head.
"No, this is more of a pleasant surprise."
"Now there's no need for any usual pre-battle speeches."
"If it were the Third Hokage, even now, he would be trying to lecture me on grand principles."
Orochimaru's lips curled into a sinister grin.
"You're right..."
"The eagle pecks at the snake, or the snake swallows the chick. It's a simple thing."
Orochimaru leapt into the air, his body rapidly shifting.
He expanded and distorted, as grotesque white serpent heads emerged from his body. A sinister aura began to spread.
Between the two armies appeared a massive beast, white as snow, with eight gigantic white serpents intertwined.
A terrifying beauty.
The Eight-Headed Serpent, a legendary monster.
It was said to possess control over natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and storms, embodying resentment and evil.
The Eight-Headed Serpent Technique was created based on this legend. Its origins were unknown, and even the creator of the technique couldn't use it as perfectly as Orochimaru.
This was his strongest jutsu, without comparison.
A massive snakehead opened its maw, and Orochimaru's slippery body appeared, holding the Grass Cutter Sword.
The eight snakeheads lowered to look down at the tiny figure of Kagami. Two of them opened wide, gathering energy for giant wind and earth projectiles.
This chakra fluctuation…
It was as terrifying as the power of a tailed beast!
"Do you see, Kagami?! This is my technique! A natural disaster powerful enough to rival the tailed beasts!"
Kagami looked indifferently at him, his eyes scanning the many onlookers atop the walls.
"Go."
Kagami was willing to protect the old, weak, and women of his clan, but the true Uchiha longed to prove themselves through battle.
Only in battle would they have the ability to create and maintain the twisted order of the ninja world.
The Uchiha ninjas under Kagami's command surged forward in a flash.

Swish! Swish!
Mito Kado and Tōrimi Kōshū stood atop one of the snake's heads.
Mito Kado removed his glasses and placed them in his pocket.
"Since you dislike grand speeches, I'll refrain."
"The survivors will rebuild Konoha."
The enormous summoning scroll unfurled.
"Ninja Art—Weapon Control: Universal Flow!"
Tōrimi Kōshū pressed her hands together, two streams of emerald chakra flowed—one connecting to the snake's body beneath them, the other to Mito Kado.
"Before I die, don't hold back. Fight with everything you've got!"
Boom!!!
The collision of wind and earth created an explosive force. The earth sped up, becoming like meteors crashing down, all while numerous sharp blades flew from the impact.
The violent energy tore through the air, causing Kagami's hair to whip wildly, his black hair growing long and tousled.
His left eye glowed with crimson light as he activated his Sharingan.
The fourth tomo of his Mangekyō Sharingan appeared.
Screech!
With black-red lightning flashing, Kagami's slash tore through the energy storm.
The battlefield fell silent.
The powerful combination jutsu was no match for the moonlit crescent slash.
One snakehead was cut off, and Mito Kado was decimated!
"Enn!!" Tōrimi Kōshū cried out in sorrow.
Kagami crossed his arms, looking at her mockingly.
"Now, he's dead first. How does it feel, Tōrimi?"
---
"Kagami!!"
A snake wrapped around Tōrimi Kōshū as Orochimaru's cold voice rang out.
"Calm down, none of you will survive facing Kagami."
Swish!
Orochimaru's hands pressed against the sword hilt, and his Grass Cutter Sword began to elongate.
Clang!
The sound of metal meeting metal echoed.
Kagami's hand enveloped in a faint blue chakra caught the sword's blade with ease.
"Nice sword. I too have a fondness for collecting the Grass Cutter Sword."
"Thank you, I'll gladly accept this gift."
Orochimaru gripped the sword, feeling a massive force pushing back. Despite his efforts, the sword slipped from his grasp.
Without Orochimaru's control, the sword quickly returned to its normal size and Kagami casually inserted it to the side.
Suddenly.
A triangle formation emerged beneath Kagami. Black-red blood surged from the earth.
Instantly, black sealing markings covered Kagami's body.
Three masked ninjas emerged from the earth, hands forming seals.
"Four Symbols Seal!"
Pure black blood exploded from the ninjas' bodies, forming a dark ball that seemed to devour everything around it.
Kagami remained expressionless as the ball engulfed him, not making a move.
It wasn't until the jutsu fully formed that Danzo Shimura appeared, watching with a cold sneer.
"Arrogant Uchiha, you will never understand the power of the Four Symbols Seal!"
"Your death..."
Crack!
Before Danzo could finish his sentence, two distinct slashes crossed over the black ball, creating a deep X.
Shattering.
The black seal cracked like glass.
Kagami's cold Mangekyō Sharingan stared directly at Danzo.
"What's so funny?"
"Danzo Shimura."
To be continued...
