Chapter 208 – Fear in the Shadows, Tremors Across the Shinobi World
He had completely miscalculated.
Uchiha Yuta had expected something, anything, from the Sage of Six Paths or his brother Hamura. But… there was nothing.
No chakra disturbance.
No divine retribution.
No celestial warning.
> "Cowards," Yuta muttered to himself. "Hiding like turtles."
He wasn't angry—just unimpressed.
After ascending to the form of a complete Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, after erasing Ōtsutsuki Urashiki and Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki from existence, he now viewed even the Sage of Six Paths and Ōtsutsuki Hamura with a cold disregard.
> "If they dare appear, I'll crush them too."
He meant it. With his current power, he could suppress even the founders of chakra themselves and absorb their energy without resistance.
---
At the same time, a violent tremor ran through the Shinobi World.
News of the Fifth Hokage's latest feats spread like wildfire.
The sudden disappearance of the massive chakra signatures belonging to Urashiki and Kinshiki stunned everyone. It was obvious—they hadn't retreated. They had been destroyed.
> "The Fifth Hokage has grown stronger again…"
> "How terrifying must Lord Uchiha be now?!"
> "He must've eliminated both intruders in moments…"
Shock and awe gave way to reverence. Across every hidden village, countless shinobi bowed their heads—not out of loyalty, but out of sheer fear and admiration.
---
> "I want to join Konoha!"
"I want to study under Lord Uchiha!"
"Our village must align with the Leaf. That's the only way to survive!"
Even the stubborn and proud shinobi of the minor nations were now reconsidering their allegiance.
It was no longer about diplomacy. It was about survival.
---
In villages like Iwagakure and Kumogakure, the mood turned bitter.
The overwhelming power of the Leaf Village—and Uchiha Yuta in particular—had shifted the balance of the world. The fear of becoming irrelevant, or worse, targets, had taken root.
In the Hokage Office, Ōnoki, the elderly Third Tsuchikage, slammed his fist into the desk.
> "Damn it! DAMN IT!"
The veins on his forehead bulged. He coughed violently… and spat blood.
> "This is all Madara's fault...!"
Meanwhile, in the Raikage's office, Fourth Raikage Ay roared in frustration. He had trained his body to be as hard as steel, but even he couldn't crush this despair.
> "We've become the ninja world's laughingstock…!"
---
Konoha's dominance was no longer a prediction. It was reality.
The Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta—was rapidly eclipsing the Sage of Six Paths in both name and myth.
Children were no longer taught to revere the founding Sage.
Now, they spoke only of the man who unified the world.
---
Meanwhile, In a Hidden Dimensional Space...
A ripple distorted the void.
Cracks spread across the walls of a hidden dimension as a terrifying aura surged within.
> "Brother, calm down!" Hamura's voice was sharp, alarmed.
If the space collapsed, they would be exposed—and likely erased.
> "Don't mention that brat's name!" Hagoromo snarled, his features twisting with fury.
Once, he was the legend. The first Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, the founder of chakra, the ancestor of the Uchiha, Senju, and Uzumaki clans. The one who gave birth to the very concept of ninjutsu.
And now?
Some young upstart—Uchiha Yuta—was replacing him.
His name was being forgotten.
---
> "It's humiliation… that a mere mortal now dares to challenge the divine…"
His fists trembled. His chakra boiled. But rage wouldn't be enough.
He knew that.
---
Hamura, always the calmer of the two, stepped forward cautiously.
> "Brother… I understand. But now is not the time for emotion. Think about the bigger picture."
He looked his brother in the eye.
> "Kinshiki and Urashiki didn't even have a chance. They were destroyed before they could activate their full power."
> "Do you think we're any safer if we act rashly?"
That silenced the room.
Even Hagoromo felt the cold chill of reality crawl up his spine.
He had confidence in his own power. But… so did Kinshiki and Urashiki.
And now? They were dust in the wind.
---
In that moment, both brothers understood the truth:
Uchiha Yuta wasn't just a passing threat.
He was the new axis upon which the Shinobi World spun.
And if they didn't act carefully, they'd be next on the list of relics buried by the new era.
