New work [Douluo Dalu: I Have A Soul Beast Avatar].
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Shigen was caught off guard, and his pupils involuntarily dilated.
This micro-expression did not escape Tōshirō's eyes. The corner of his mouth turned up in a smirk.
Impossible. How could he know...? Shigen panicked, and sweat beaded on his forehead.
"Tōshirō-sama, you love to joke."
From the moment Tōshirō asked that question, he knew he was exposed. He was just making a final, self-deceiving rebuttal.
Tōshirō mocked him like a cat playing with a mouse. "This isn't a joke."
"Tōshirō-sama, I don't quite understand what you're talking about."
"Then do you understand this?"
The eyes Tōshirō was looking at suddenly changed. A blood-red, hexagonal snowflake pattern appeared in his eyes.
This is...
The Mangekyō Sharingan—!
The moment he saw these eyes, Shigen gave up resisting.
It wasn't that he didn't want to resist.
It was just that the disparity in strength between them was too great.
He would have to raise his hand to crush an ant, but for Shigen, Tōshirō only needed a single glance.
The powerful ocular power invaded Shigen's mind through his gaze, making his eyes lose focus. This was a symptom of a genjutsu.
Tōshirō asked expressionlessly, "From now on, tell me everything you know."
Shigen, who was under the genjutsu, nodded woodenly.
Fugaku held his breath and watched in silence.
Tōshirō immediately began his interrogation. "Are you a spy sent by the higher-ups?"
Shigen nodded.
Getting this answer, Tōshirō specifically glanced at Fugaku. He saw him frown. Because Tōshirō had already given him a heads-up, Fugaku wasn't surprised and remained relatively calm.
"Who among the higher-ups sent you?"
"Danzō-sama..."
"Including you, who else are spies?"
"Three people."
"Who?"
"Horse-Head, Ox-Head, and Uchiha Itachi..."
Tōshirō half-closed his eyes and glanced sideways.
His own son was a spy for Konoha. Although Fugaku had somewhat suspected it in his heart, when he found out for real, he still couldn't stay calm. He slowly closed his eyes and sighed. "I knew it... No wonder he was always against the coup..."
"Fugaku..."
His son was a turncoat. Tōshirō was worried about Fugaku. He called his name to show his concern.
Fugaku opened his eyes, and three tomoe appeared. He showed his attitude. "It's fine. This won't be enough to defeat me."
Tōshirō nodded with relief and continued his interrogation. "Horse-Head and Ox-Head don't sound like names. Are they code names from the Root?"
Shigen replied, "Yes."
"Who are Horse-Head and Ox-Head?"
"Horse-Head is me, and Ox-Head is my twin brother."
"Twin brother?" Tōshirō asked curiously. "What's going on?"
"My brother's build and chakra are very similar to mine. To make it easier to monitor, our faces have been completely altered to look like Shigen. We rotate every so often."
"What about the real Shigen?"
"He was replaced by us."
This sentence was a roundabout way of saying they killed Shigen.
Tōshirō said with disdain, "How despicable."
The result was almost exactly as Tōshirō had said. Fugaku looked at Tōshirō and said with emotion, "I'm ashamed..."
There was a spy in his own clan, and he hadn't found out until now. He even needed Tōshirō's help to expose the spy.
Because of this, he respected Tōshirō even more.
More than the respect for his strength, he now truly respected Tōshirō for his cunning intelligence.
Little did he know, the reason Tōshirō was able to find the spy so quickly was that he was cheating and knew the full map.
All Tōshirō had to do was find the evidence for the answer. This seemingly ordinary action looked like an act of prescience to an outsider who didn't have the same information.
The matter of the Konoha spy was almost done. Tōshirō planned to drop a bombshell, so he asked, "The Konoha higher-ups already know about the Uchiha clan's coup, right?"
"Yes."
"Then, assuming the coup happens, and without the wild card that is Uchiha Tōshirō, how do the Konoha higher-ups plan to deal with the coup?"
Horse-Head, who was disguised as Shigen, said in a deep voice, "Uchiha Itachi will be sent to kill the entire Uchiha clan, regardless of gender or age, and he alone will bear the sin of slaughtering his own people."
Not long after this sentence was spoken, an explosion suddenly occurred.
Tōshirō's expression was calm. He looked to the side in the direction of the sound. On the ground was a pile of broken wood. There should have been a table in this spot.
The reason it was like this was because of Fugaku, whose eyes were now bloodshot, and his breathing was staggered with emotion. The look of a man about to eat someone was the best explanation for what had happened.
Tōshirō crossed his arms and said calmly, "Fugaku, calm down."
With that, he gestured with his eyes toward the door.
Fugaku followed his gaze and saw the members of the Military Police Force standing at the door.
Fugaku had been so emotional just now that he punched the table to bits. When they heard the noise, they rushed in out of concern.
As a result, they saw the following scene.
Under Fugaku's man-eating gaze, the members of the Military Police Force trembled slightly. It was the first time they had seen Captain Fugaku, who was known for his composure, look so enraged.
His bloodshot eyes now lived up to the name "Evil Eyes" more than ever.
In addition, they also saw that Tōshirō was in his Mangekyō Sharingan state.
They couldn't help but think about something.
Did they have an argument with the great Tōshirō?
That couldn't be right.
Everyone swallowed nervously, not daring to make any assumptions. They cautiously called out his name. "C-Captain Fugaku, what's wrong..."
Fugaku took a breath to calm himself. He looked at Tōshirō, his eyes asking for guidance. The next step depended on Tōshirō's attitude.
Seeing the look, Tōshirō's expression became solemn. He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "It's time to let them know about the ugly faces of the Konoha higher-ups."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Were these two talking about the higher-ups? Is that why Captain Fugaku was so angry?
On second thought, why was that guy Shigen in Captain Fugaku's office?
Just as everyone was feeling confused, Fugaku's face turned grim. He pointed at Shigen, and his voice was filled with intense anger. "Come and listen for yourselves, what those people are planning to do."
Why was Captain Fugaku so angry?
Feeling confused, everyone looked at Shigen and saw that his eyes were unfocused, as if...
"This guy is under my genjutsu."
Tōshirō explained, maintaining his Mangekyō Sharingan state.
Hearing this, everyone was even more confused. Why would the great Tōshirō put Shigen under a genjutsu for no reason?
Tōshirō raised his chin and gave a command. "Let everyone hear what you just told us."
Shigen stuttered, repeating what he had just said. "Spy... Ox-Head, Horse-Head, Uchiha Itachi... kill the entire Uchiha clan..."
During this conversation, the expressions of the Military Police Force members went through several obvious changes: from confusion to a frown, then to shock, and finally, when they heard that the higher-ups were planning to exterminate their entire clan, the emotions that had been suppressed for years suddenly burst out. Their eyes widened, and they looked as if they were about to eat someone.
They finally understood why Captain Fugaku was so angry. Everyone's eyes turned bloodshot. They activated their Sharingan and clamored to strike first.
"Bastards! How dare the higher-ups do this!"
"We can't take this anymore! We have to strike first and catch them off guard!"
"They want to kill all of us, a bunch of old geezers! I'd like to see who gets exterminated!"
"He's right! Let's go to war with those guys!"
"To war!"
