Thunder tore through the dark clouds, its falling light illuminating the fierce, unyielding face of a warrior.
Near the Uchiha Police Force headquarters, Danzo Shimura emerged from the depths of a temple.
Spotting the towering shadow of Susanoo at the village's edge, his single black eye dulled with rage.
"Uchiha—Itachi!"
Danzo gritted his teeth, his unwrapped face twitching uncontrollably.
An Uchiha with the mindset of a Hokage? That senile fool Hiruzen!
Even after all his guidance, Itachi still didn't side with them. As expected, no Uchiha could be trusted!
His cane rapped the ground rapidly as Danzo rushed toward the Root's base to rally his stationed ninja.
Meanwhile, within the Uchiha clan's territory…
A purple giant swung its massive sword, crashing down toward Sakura Haruno.
"Tch, divine power, huh?"
As the blade descended, Sakura channeled chakra to the soles of her feet.
Her figure darted forward with eerie speed, gliding as if skating across ice.
Dodging nimbly beneath the falling greatsword, the slow, chakra-condensed blade only managed to crater the ground behind her.
"What kind of ninjutsu is that?"
A puzzled Uchiha ninja asked a more experienced senior.
"It's some kind of taijutsu. She's using chakra to create footholds in the air, then leveraging high-speed steps for propulsion. It's a highly advanced technique."
Uchiha Nobu, arms crossed, analyzed Sakura's movements with his seasoned combat experience.
"Elder Nobu, should we help the clan leader?"
"Idiot! How could you possibly get involved in a fight like that?"
Nobu snapped at the young ninja behind him, his words laced with bitter frustration.
In his eyes, a massive axe of light surged skyward, clashing with Susanoo's sword.
Clang!
A roaring shockwave rolled outward like a tidal wave, carrying a savage, destructive force laced with black lightning that echoed through the void.
The entire Uchiha Police Force headquarters was obliterated under the force of this clash.
Then, a petite figure sliced through the air, crashing deep into the earth.
"Ow, that stings."
Sakura, her hands numb, shattered the massive boulder pinning her and stood up from the crater.
Blood trickled from her palm, and a dizzying haze from Yin Release chakra interference clouded her senses, but her fighting spirit only burned hotter.

Her Conqueror's Haki raged, reflecting her indomitable will.
A heart-pounding surge of dark lightning spread in all directions, bombarding every inch of space.
Protected by the third stage of his Susanoo, Uchiha Fugaku stood as thunder sparked against his armor.
"Step aside, Sakura Haruno."
"A kid like you is the village's future. You shouldn't be sacrificed for the ugly desires of the higher-ups."
Fugaku looked at the defiant Sakura and let out a soft sigh.
"Oh? Think you've got me beat?"
Sakura swayed, using her momentum to heft her axe onto her shoulder.
Her Observation Haki stretched out again, splitting the area around her—one half engulfed in scorching flames, the other frozen into an icy wasteland.
"If you think you can, come and try!"
Atop the burning icefield, the girl slowly raised her axe, her bold laughter echoing as she shouted her technique's name.
"Eighty—Warlord Owl!"
In an instant, ice and fire surged together, a radiant arc of blazing axe-light tearing through the air with unmatched ferocity, striking rebelliously at the shadow of a god.
"What a pity."
Fugaku clapped his hands, his third-stage Susanoo drawing a massive blade that gleamed under the moonlight.
Majestic, cold eyes opened within the Susanoo's armor, gazing down indifferently as chakra flowed, delivering merciless judgment.
"Susanoo: Futsunomitama!"
BOOM!
A blinding burst of light erupted where sword and axe collided, the clash of chakra and Haki unleashing a ferocious shockwave that exploded outward from the two fighters.
All sound was drowned out by a roar louder than thunder, and the Uchiha's hawkish ninja were flung back by the storm.
Nearby civilian homes were damaged by the spreading shockwaves.
Fortunately, the Uchiha, preparing for their coup, had relocated many of their elderly and weak to the outskirts of the Police Force area, preventing heavy casualties.
The massive Police Force building was reduced to rubble, leaving a gaping crater in its place.
Blood streamed from Fugaku's eyes, his chest heaving violently.
Before him, the swirling dust cleared, revealing a small, battered figure.
Her clothes were torn in several places, faint bruises visible underneath.
Her axe had shattered into slag in the collision, and a streak of blood ran from her forehead, obscuring her left eye.
"I get it now… that sword… it combines both of your eye techniques!"
Sakura wiped the blood from her face, exposing Fugaku's secret.
One eye sees the future, the other shapes it.
When combined, the resulting Susanoo sword, Futsunomitama, could cut away futures unfavorable to its wielder.
'Damn it, how did a guy like this die in the original story?!'
Sakura spat out a mouthful of blood, clenching her fists.
"You're out of weapons," Fugaku said, staggering slightly as he forced his eyelids open.
Using such a technique clearly came at a cost.
"Why? Why go this far?"
Facing her formidable opponent's question, Sakura pulled out her ninja headband, tying back her loose hair.
"For my friends. For the Uchihas who treated me kindly."
"To overcome this absurd, cruel fate and laugh with my comrades under the sunrise!"
Sakura flashed a carefree smile, her Haki surging once more.
The massive chakra reserves she'd been building erupted again.
In that moment, a terrifying pressure weighed on everyone's hearts.
The Uchiha still standing on the battlefield stared in disbelief at the petite figure.
After fighting this long, she still had that much chakra left?
"Sakura Haruno…"
Fugaku seemed to see a familiar shadow in her—the one who once vowed to unite everyone and build a more prosperous village.
If he were still alive, maybe the Uchiha wouldn't have reached this point.
"But it's come to this!"
Fugaku roared, his massive Susanoo shrinking slightly.
Yet the ominous chakra cloaking the Futsunomitama sword boiled like hot oil meeting cold water.
"If you want to achieve those things, you'll need absolute strength. Overcome me, Sakura Haruno!"
The divine sword, now wielded by a smaller armored figure, burned under the moonlight, looking ever more menacing.
In the crater, Sakura drew her supreme-grade blade, Ace, grinning widely.
To counter Susanoo's massive Yin Release chakra, she pushed her Devil Fruit powers to their current limit.
Heat-Heat Fruit: Ice Mode—Snow Warrior!
Pure white frost spread across her body like armor, dyeing her black Anbu outfit a pristine, holy snow-white, as if cloaked in radiant mist.
Using her fruit's power, Sakura wove chakra and icy air around her supreme blade, fully armoring both herself and the weapon.
This way, she could avoid her weapon being instantly destroyed by Fugaku's future-shaping strikes.
Frost particles danced around her, beautiful yet deadly.
"Susanoo: Futsunomitama!"
Fugaku roared, raising his right hand and swinging it down, his Susanoo mirroring the motion with its blade.
"God's Evasion—!"
Sakura charged at full speed, her body a streak of white across the ground.
Explosive gusts of wind roared at the tips of their clashing blades.
A needle against a spearpoint!
In the next instant…
BOOM—!
