Uchiha's Three Titans! Action!

Konoha, Uchiha Clan Compound, Fugaku's home.

The ninja cat's call woke Fugaku.

As Fugaku sat up, he found an entirely black cat sitting beside him with a scroll strapped to its back.

He reached out and removed the scroll, and the ninja cat jumped out through the window and left.

Fugaku frowned deeply, sensing that something was wrong. Transactions with the Ninja Cat Clan were usually reported every afternoon. Why had news suddenly arrived in the middle of the night?

Still thinking, Fugaku opened the scroll. There was only one simple, clear sentence on it:

Root attack. Uchiha Chizakura and the other ninja had all been killed.

Fugaku got up, tucked the blanket over his wife Mikoto, and immediately headed for Senya's house.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The knocking woke Senya as well. He came to the door and opened it, only to find Fugaku standing outside.

"What happened at this hour? You look like you're in a hurry."

Senya had been bleary-eyed, but when he saw Fugaku's grave and stern expression, he immediately straightened up.

"Let's talk inside. Something happened."

The two entered the house and went to the living room.

Fugaku hurriedly spoke.

"Chizakura and the others were killed. Root attacked them. All twelve Uchiha ninja are dead."

Hearing this, Senya shot up from his chair.

"What did you say? Root attacked them?! They're all dead?"

Grief filled Fugaku's face. Sitting at the table, he could not help clenching his fists.

"That's right. They're all dead. That damned old bastard Danzo... I never thought he'd have the nerve to strike at the Uchiha at a time like this."

"Senya, what do we do now?"

Senya immediately went back into his room, changed into combat gear, and returned to Fugaku.

"Let's go."

Seeing Senya's expressionless face and combat gear, Fugaku guessed what he intended.

"Go? You're going to attack Root right now?"

Senya turned to look at him, his expression mild and calm.

"What do you think? Should we go to Root in the middle of the night and invite Danzo for tea?"

Fugaku hurriedly stood up and pushed Senya back into his chair.

He began trying to persuade him.

"Senya, it's not just you. I want to storm Root too, but what about our plan if we do that? The clan has only just..."

"Enough!"

Senya sprang to his feet and shoved Fugaku away.

"Good people get bullied. I wasn't planning to tear things apart with that dog Danzo so soon, but since he made the first move, then he can't blame me for being ruthless."

"You don't need to worry about what comes next. I have a way. If I don't avenge this, I won't be able to sleep!"

"Just tell me, are you coming or not? Quit yammering. If you're a man, stop talking and let's go!"

Senya's words worked. Fugaku stood up and walked over to him.

"Of course I'm a man! I already have two sons! Are you saying I'm not a man?!"

"But if you have a way to handle the aftermath, then there's no time to lose. Let's move out. The problem is, do you know where Root's base is?"

Senya shook his head directly, his face solemn.

"I don't."

The atmosphere instantly became extremely awkward. Fugaku did not know what to say. He only wanted to beat Senya up first, but when he considered that he might not be able to win and would end up getting beaten instead, he suppressed the urge.

"I don't know right now, but I have a way to find out."

"What way?"

Senya looked at Fugaku as if he were an idiot.

"Why don't you wake Itachi and ask him? How could he not know?"

Fugaku froze. That did seem to be the case. Itachi had been in the Anbu for so long and had worked under Danzo for years. How could he possibly not know where Root's base was?

It was just that ever since the Clan Meeting, he had never thought to ask Itachi about it.

The two reached an agreement, rushed back to Fugaku's house, and directly hauled Itachi out of bed.

Still asleep, Itachi only felt a force at the back of his neck lifting him up. By the time he opened his eyes, he was already standing there in his pajamas, with his father and Senya glaring at him angrily.

For a moment, Itachi was completely confused. He must have unknowingly done something that had wronged the clan again, otherwise why would these two be so angry and wake him up in the middle of the night?

He immediately lowered his head, crouched down, and knelt on one knee.

"My apologies, Father, Vice Clan Head. I was wrong!"

Senya and Fugaku were both dumbfounded, staring at each other.

"Fugaku, did you beat your son stupid?"

"I didn't, I haven't, and why would I hit Itachi for no reason?!"

Now Itachi, still kneeling on one knee, was also utterly confused. He raised his head, stood up, and looked at the two again.

"You came to see me this late at night. Wasn't it because I did something wrong?"

Senya and Fugaku both shook their heads in denial.

"No. We came to ask where Root is. We're going to avenge our clansmen."

Itachi was confused again. His gaze looked both foolish and sharply fierce.

Looking at Itachi, Senya instinctively felt that he currently looked like a wiseass murderous idiot.

So he told Itachi what Fugaku had just told him.

Itachi immediately said that he had to be included. He had long been sick of those damned bastards in Root, and he could not miss this.

Thus, the three Mangekyo wielders all got ready and arrived outside Root's base in the dense forest behind Konoha's Hokage Rock, looking utterly murderous.

Senya raised a hand to signal them to stop, then turned to face the other two.

"Remember not to expose your Mangekyo yet. It's not time. I'll be the only one to reveal mine."

Fugaku shook his head, saying that would not do.

"Senya, using the Mangekyo gradually weakens its wielder's eyesight until they go blind. You still have to lead the clan in the future. Let me handle this."

Fugaku spoke to Senya with a completely serious expression, but in truth, he just wanted to vent his anger on Root!

The clan still had Senya and his son, two more Mangekyo wielders. Whether for public or private reasons, he should be the one beating Root senseless. He did not want to let such a good opportunity slip away. Besides, Senya had said he had a way to clean up the mess afterward.

He handled so many matters every day, and recently Senya had even started tossing documents directly onto his desk for him to deal with. This time, he absolutely had to relieve some stress by taking it out on Root!

At that moment, Itachi spoke as well.

"Let me reveal the Mangekyo. I made too many mistakes in the past. Father is the clan head, and Senya is the leader behind the clan. I'm the most suitable one to do it!"

Although Itachi said that, he had his own thoughts as well.

Ever since his conversation with Senya on the night of the Clan Meeting, every time he went to Root, he found everyone around him disgustingly repulsive. Every one of them seemed brain-dead, as though their cerebellums had been dug out.

Whenever he thought about how he had once been just like those Root idiots, working alongside them and serving Danzo, he felt nothing but shame. He had to act personally to wash away that humiliation in blood!

Senya saw that both father and son made reasonable points, but he vaguely felt that something was off. It seemed like they were trying to steal his chance to show off.

"Fine, then use them all. Since you both want to use them, just remember to conserve your ocular power."

Left with no choice, Senya could only say that. Still, thinking of how Sasuke had used his Mangekyo in the original story and wrecked his eyes only days after awakening it, Senya kindly reminded them.

Seeing that Senya allowed both of them to use their Mangekyo, the two looked eager to try. Neither said anything else.

Only then did Senya dare conclude that these two idiots really were trying to show off. Emmm, they also held deep grudges against Root. After all, the Uchiha clan was crazy. All crazy.

For the Uchiha, there was only one sentence: Fight! Awesome!!!
