Chapter 546 Uchiha's Choice
After a busy night, Uchiha Fugaku dragged his tired steps back to the house temporarily built with earth style ninjutsu in the Uchiha clan territory.
Yes, the Uchiha clan territory located in the center of Konohagakure Village was also severely damaged during the attack of the Nine-tailed Fox last night.
Even many ordinary clan members who were not ninjas in the clan were killed or injured.
However, the Uchiha clan, which also suffered a lot of damage, was selectively ignored by most of the Konohagakure ninjas.
This is not only because everyone saw last night that the tomoe symbol of the Sharingan appeared in the chaotic eyes of the Nine-tailed Fox.
There was also what Shimura Danzo pointed out that the Uchiha clan assembled in advance before the disaster.
And a considerable number of Konohagakure ninjas accused that many members of the Uchiha clan appeared last night and wreaked havoc on the village in the chaos.
Even though Uchiha Fugaku has been explaining these things earnestly.
Even in the chaos last night, the Uchiha clan guards protected a large number of ordinary civilians.
But it is still difficult to get recognition from others.
Even the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, who had always been committed to promoting the integration of the Uchiha clan and the village.
Last night, he only chose to put the matter aside for discussion.
However, how could this unclear ambiguity suppress the criticism of the Uchiha clan by others?
Unable to solve this matter, Uchiha Fugaku could only choose to repeatedly emphasize the word "restraint" in the clan and actively participate in the post-disaster reconstruction of the village. He believes that the Hokage will clear the Uchiha clan's name in the future.
At this time, the sky was slightly clear.
Namikaze Minato and the unpredictable Mizukage set off to continue the peace talks in the Land of Hot Water. After a busy night, Uchiha Fugaku had time to return to the clan to rest.
However, after walking into the room.
Looking at the familiar kunai on his desk and the small scroll tied to it.
A chill instantly surged into Uchiha Fugaku's heart, and the previous fatigue was completely dispelled by this chill.
Although he still subconsciously looked around.
But Uchiha Fugaku also knew that he could not find any traces last night when the other party threw a kunai in front of him.
Now this kunai and scroll, no one knows how long they have been placed here, and it is certainly impossible to find who put them here.
Uchiha Fugaku walked forward carefully. Although he was still a little hesitant in his heart, he finally slowly opened the mysterious scroll and read it quickly.
Until he finished reading the very brief information on the scroll.
Sure enough, just like the previous time, this scroll once again quickly burned into a ball of ash.
The only difference from last night was that when the scroll was completely burned out, a plain black ring fell out of it.
Uchiha Fugaku picked up the ring gently with two fingers, muttering in his mouth.
"A way out when there is no other way to go?"
"Then let me see if this way out can save Uchiha!"
As soon as the words fell, the scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes spun rapidly, turning into a pair of complex and mysterious windmill-shaped patterns.
Mangekyō Sharingan, activate!
Blood slowly flowed from Uchiha Fugaku's left eye.
But at the same time, fragmented images flashed quickly in his eyes.
Mangekyō Sharingan, that is, the eyes that reflect the soul.
When Uchiha Fugaku's companions died on the battlefield, these eyes were born because of his inner confusion about the future and the pain of his own wrong decisions.
Its name is Sijianshen!
The right eye can predict the enemy's next move in battle through foresight, achieving tactical foresight.
The left eye can turn the result of one's decision on something into a real and visible fragment before one's eyes.
It is the eye that foresees the future!
After obtaining this pair of powerful and terrifying Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Fugaku has used the ability of his left eye many times to peek into the future and avoid choices that may lead to failure. It was not until the pupil power was consumed too much, causing the left eye to be almost blind, and Uchiha Fugaku, who was worried that he would lose this ability permanently, had to choose to seal it himself.
However, it was precisely because he had always been accustomed to the convenience brought by predicting the future.
After "losing" this ability, whenever Uchiha Fugaku made a choice, the more he could not see the future clearly, the more he would hesitate.
Instead, he became less resolute and decisive than before he had the Mangekyō Sharingan.
But this time.
Faced with the current situation that concerns the survival of the entire Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku finally took the initiative to use his Mangekyō Sharingan again.
'Let me see who you are hiding in the dark! Is it worth it for me to bet the entire Uchiha!!'
As the pictures flashed before his eyes.
He doesn't know whether it was because he hadn't seen the future for a long time, or because the content he saw made him excited.
Uchiha Fugaku's expression became more and more excited.
"Ahem~"
There was a sharp pain in his chest, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Uchiha Fugaku covered his left eye, which was still bleeding.
The Mangekyō marks in his eyes quickly faded.
But the excited expression on Uchiha Fugaku's face did not dissipate, but became more and more rampant.
"Hahahahaha~"
"I see!!"
Kaito, who was traveling side by side with Namikaze Minato, suddenly felt a chill in his body.
"Eh~~~"
Kaito shuddered slightly, and looked around in confusion, but he didn't find anything strange around him.
'Is that bastard Obito going to make a move again? Or is that old guy Danzo unhappy after being taught a lesson by me? Is he preparing to retaliate secretly!'
'Or should I secretly find an opportunity to kill Danzo?!'
Kaito naturally didn't know that someone was using an ability that he had never heard of to spy on the future related to him.
He didn't know that based on just a little bit of the future he saw, someone would make a choice with undoubted faith.
Kaito could only think of Obito who had just been tricked by him, and Shimura Danzo who had humiliated him.
'Anyway, whether there is anything wrong or not, it will definitely be right to get Danzo! '
Namikaze Minato looked at Kaito, whose expression kept changing beside him, with some surprise, and hesitated for a while before asking.
"Mizukage-sama, what are you doing?"
Kaito grinned and said with a smile.
"Hokage-sama, it's too slow to travel like this. How about I take you there by flying? Or you can just take me to experience the Flying Thunder God Jutsu?"
