Uchiha Fugaku Entrusts His Child to Others

"Chief!"

"Lord Yoru, we've been betrayed! Uchiha Neta is a traitor; he assassinated the clan head!"

The elite members of the Uchiha Clan quickly reported the information. At this moment, Uchiha Yoru noticed that Uchiha Fugaku, who only Mangekyō Sharingan, had a bluish-purple complexion, and the dark purple pigment in his eye socket was clearly poison.

Fresh blood was continuously flowing from a wound on the abdomen, but the blood was purplish-black in color.

"Night."

Upon seeing the reinforcements, Uchiha Fugaku, whose face was usually stern, showed a rare smile, while Uchiha Yoru hurriedly stepped forward.

"Don't touch me! This is a nanobot-level poisonous insect!"

Just then, Uchiha Fugaku hurriedly shouted to stop the other party, but he also spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Just then, a figure appeared. In the distance, Uchiha Yoru was filled with anger, and approaching him was Shadow Clone.

He quickly put on rubber gloves and said calmly in a deep voice, "Uchiha Yoru Chief, what you need to do now is suppress the rampant Chakra within your body, otherwise the toxins will only spread throughout your body along with the Chakra flowing through your meridians."

"Protect the clan leader!"

Uchiha Yoru, in his true form, shouted at the four of them, and finally revealed his killing intent as he looked at the gradually dissipating sea of fire around him.

Among the flames, some escaped using Earth Release defenses, while others relied on Water Release. Through their coordinated efforts, almost none perished.

This is an elite force.

"This is Fire Style!" A masked ninja stared in shock at his scalded arm. The ninjas protecting him behind him all had burns; they had all been scalded by the scalding water.

At the last moment, they used Water Release, but the Water Release evaporated rapidly and violently in the sea of fire, turning the Water Style: Water Prison Walls into boiling water.

Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation

In an instant, another terrifying level of Ninjutsu erupted, and at the same time, Uchiha Yoru's body crackled with lightning, transforming into a bolt of lightning and disappearing from the spot.

Rumble~

In an instant, screams and the booming sounds of Ninjutsu clashing echoed from the remaining sea of fire.

Sage Art: Lightning Style - Chidori

Sage Art: Fire Style - Dust Concealment Technique

In the midst of the chaotic battle, Uchiha Yoru instantly activated his Mangekyō Sharingan. With the enhancement of Sage Art: Chidori, his speed increased to another level. Then, under the Dust Concealment Ninjutsu, a large-scale burning obstructed his vision.

This elite force, no less formidable than the Anbu, was filled with screams of agony in an instant. It wasn't that they were weak; rather, the enemy had displayed overwhelming power.

They had already expended a lot of Chakra setting up the ambush, and now, facing Uchiha Yoru, who had activated his Cursed Seal and possessed Mangekyo Mangekyou Sharingan, his combat power was already among the strongest of the Kage Level.

Furthermore, with the surge in Chakra after fusing with Wood Release, a series of wide-range Ninjutsu roared down one after another.

The overwhelming Ninjutsu were all large-scale attacks, while at the same time, the Lightning Style: Nintaijutsu moved through the sea of fire with lightning speed, and no one could withstand it.

Rumble~

Various Ninjutsu were unleashed in a frenzy, and these masked ninjas were quite eerie.

When the captain in charge of the operation saw this, cold sweat trickled down his temples; this was no longer on the same level.

"Retreat! Plans have changed, mission failed!"

Once the retreat signal was given, this was a well-trained group of soldiers, each one fearless of death. Some were responsible for covering the rear and dying together with the others, who were already prepared, scattered and fled without the slightest hesitation.

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and the masked captain, looking at the pierced chest, immediately revealed a cold smile.

Pfft!

Blood continued to flow, and at this moment, Uchiha Yoru's face was extremely ugly. A complex sealing pattern appeared on his arm, and for a moment, the Chakra in his arm began to be blocked.

"The capture plan has failed; the destruction plan has been completed!"

Faced with certain death, the captain chose to sacrifice his own life to buy time, uttering a chilling statement beneath a cold smile.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoruro sneered, "Failed to seize it? It seems you're from Root. Although I don't know how the information was leaked, what you called seizing was probably Fugaku's Mangekyō Sharingan."

"If the plan fails, then you have absolute confidence that your poison will destroy the Mangekyo."

Amidst flashes of lightning, Uchiha Yoru slowly raised his head, revealing his eerie eyes. This sight clearly startled the other person.

The Uchiha Clan even has a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan!

However, darkness descended the next moment. As life faded, the restrictions within his body were activated, and his body began to hiss. His flesh and bones visibly corroded into foul-smelling white smoke, leaving only his light clothes, blades, treasures, and weapons.

The tactic commonly used by Konoha's Anbu, Root, and other countries' clandestine forces is to install restrictions on the body that automatically activate upon death, directly destroying everything in the body to prevent information loss.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, powerful Ninjutsu roared across the battlefield, arriving and departing swiftly.

In a short while, a glance around the forest revealed traces of fire and countless Ninjutsu.

The presence of a dozen or so empty clothes testifies to their earlier existence.

"Chief!"

"Father!"

As Uchiha Itachi descended from the sky after everyone was safely inside, his eyes bloodshot and menacing, everyone saw for the first time the clan leader's son display grief and anger.

The Three Tomoe in his eye sockets radiated a ferocious aura. At this moment, almost no one cared about the genius who had awakened the Three Tomoe at the young age of nine. Everyone else was looking at their clan leader with sorrow.

"Cough cough, don't come near me."

At this moment, the weakened Uchiha Fugaku coughed up a mouthful of black blood, then raised his head and revealed a forced smile. Looking at the Sharingan in his son's eye socket, he showed a proud smile.

"Itachi, as expected of my son, awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan at the age of nine."

"And there's Lord Yoru." At this moment, Uchiha Yoru turned his head and looked at Uchiha Yoruro a complicated and regretful expression.

"Mangekyo! The Uchiha Clan has awakened two pairs of Mangekyo! Haha!"

A tear rolled down his cheek. At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku was filled with resentment. With his two Mangekyo, the Uchiha Clan had enough confidence to contend with the Konoha High Command. They would then wait for the next generation of geniuses to grow up.

He clearly saw the hope of the family regaining its glory under his leadership, but what happened?

Pfft!

Seeing Fugaku cough up blood again, everyone gasped in shock. Meanwhile, the Shadow Clone Uchiha Yoru, his voice hoarse and somber, said, "Clan leader, these are nano-sized poisonous insects. They've already spread throughout my body along the meridians through which my Chakra flowed."

"Chief/Father!"

All of them were elite ninjas, so they naturally knew what it meant for the poison to spread throughout their bodies; at this point, they were practically waiting to die.

"Lord Yoru, you are the most dazzling genius of the Uchiha Clan today, and the strongest being besides me. Now! I want you to fulfill your duties as a clan elder ahead of schedule."

"Here you are, now the supreme commander!" Uchiha Fugaku's vision was beginning to blur, but he was already overjoyed to see Itachi before he died. Now, his biggest worry was his clan.

Hearing the clan leader's words, Uchiha Yoru naturally understood what he meant, and beneath his somber mood, a hint of excitement flickered within him.

"Clan leader, although your eye has been infected by Nano-Poisonous Insects, the power of your Mangekyo remains intact. Now I need to remove this Mangekyō Sharingan and seal it away. Once the poisonous insects within are neutralized, it will become a powerful asset to the clan in the future."

Despite Uchiha Yoru's heartless words, no one was angered. Even Uchiha Itachi silently gazed at his father.

Amidst the chilling sound of flesh being torn apart, Uchiha Fugaku's blurred vision gradually faded into darkness as his only eye was removed.

Seal up!

The Mangekyō Sharingan was placed directly into the test tube. Then, Uchiha Yoru solemnly began to form hand seals. Under the Sealing Jutsu, the Mangekyō Sharingan slowly degenerated into an ordinary eyeball after losing Chakra, and the black and purple toxins clearly visible in the white of the eye stopped spreading.

"Ahem, I, Uchiha Fugaku, have served as the head of the clan for over a decade, yet I have achieved nothing and have led the clan into dire straits, bringing shame upon it. Today, I deserve this calamity."

Uchiha Fugaku sat cross-legged on the ground, looking disheveled and weak as he spoke of his regrets. Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

"Although Uchiha Yoru is young, he is powerful and broad-minded. In the name of the clan head, I recommend Uchiha Yoru to be the new clan leader. You may all inform Elder Setsuna when you return."

With his eyes closed and unable to see anything, Uchiha Fugaku was filled with resentment and bitterness. He was not afraid of death, but he was unwilling to let the position of head of the clan be passed on to someone else.

But after Uchiha Yoru awakened his Mangekyo, he knew it was too late. If he forced Yoru to make a will appointing Uchiha Itachi as the young clan leader and having Elder Setsuna protect him, he dared not say anything else, but as long as Uchiha Yoru's Mangekyou Mangekyo returned, it would cause turmoil in the clan.

The Uchiha cannot withstand any more turmoil. If Uchiha Itachi were a little older, and if he had managed to preserve his Mangekyo this time, he could have entrusted it to Itachi before his death. With Elder Setsuna's protection, he could have directly given Uchiha Yoru a powerful elder position.

It's not impossible! Unfortunately, Itachi was too young, and his Mangekyo had already been tainted by poisonous insects, so everything was in vain.

Furthermore, given the current turmoil within the clan, Uchiha Yoru's Mangekyō Sharingan would surely win over the entire clan. Moreover, with the addition of the disciples of the Sannin and the current powerful figures, this is undoubtedly his best option.

"Yoru, I entrust Itachi to you."

The weakened Uchiha Fugaku grasped the hand of the Shadow Clone Yoru, who was wearing a rubber glove, and spoke in a hoarse and weak voice. At this moment Uchiha Yoru did not know whether to feel sorrow or joy.

The tragedy was that the clan had lost a Mangekyo clan leader, but the joy was that he himself had suddenly become the Uchiha clan leader.

"Clan leader." As if sensing what Fugaku wanted to say, Uchiha Yoru, now Shadow Clone, was naturally not worried about being infected by the poisonous insects, so he lowered his head and leaned in to listen.

Suddenly, he felt a touch on his palm. Uchiha Yoru understood and his expression gradually became serious. At this moment Uchiha Fugaku spoke weakly and hoarsely in his ear.

"The clan is entrusting you with their care. The village's higher-ups have always had a problem with the Uchiha. Once you return, Elder Setsuna will naturally assist you. Also, Mikoto, Itachi, and Sasuke. I'm counting on you."

On his deathbed, Uchiha Fugaku's biggest worry was his clan and family. As he slowly exhaled his last breath, his weak hands gradually lost their strength.

"Chief! Father!"

Amidst the mournful voices, Uchiha Yoru silently watched everything unfold. As expected of the clan leader, he ultimately sacrificed everything for the safety of his family and the clan. His family and the clan were all perfectly taken care of.

Moreover, the information transmitted from his palm just now made him sigh with melancholy.

Uchiha Fugaku carried a heavy burden of pressure throughout his life, and this complex life came to an end just like that.

Originally, Uchiha Yoru's plan was to have one focus on internal affairs and the other on external affairs. Uchiha Fugaku would be responsible for receiving Orochimaru's direct line of forces, along with the Branch Family's ninjas, forming two separate factions.

Everything was disrupted.

"Seal the chieftain's body and bring it back to the village."

Although everyone was still grieving, the calm mind of a ninja was more important than anything else; at this moment, they knew that being sad was useless.

"Father!"

Uchiha Itachi's disbelieving eyes were somewhat empty as he stared at the lifeless corpse before him. He wanted to say something, but no sound came out of his throat.

But the images that kept flashing through his mind were the warmth of his family, his stern and unsmiling father, and then the teammates he thought he could trust—the ones from whom his father's information had been leaked.

It was his teammate! He killed his own father!

Overwhelmed by self-reproach, Uchiha Itachi's Three Tomoe Sharingan spun wildly, and the three black Tomoe were beginning to show signs of merging together.

However, due to the intense circulation of Chakra within his body and the secretion of a large amount of a certain hormone in his brain, his vision went black and he fainted instantly.

"Weasel!"

He was enveloped in darkness by the indistinct sounds. At this moment, the people around him gasped in surprise, and Uchiha Yoru stepped forward with a solemn expression to examine his student's body.

"Itachi only fainted. He quickly gathered intelligence about the surrounding area and retrieved the clan leader's body."

A sealing scroll appeared, and with the Sealing Jutsu, it directly wrapped and sealed Uchiha Fugaku's corpse. One reason for this was to prevent the corpse from decaying, and the other was to seal the Nano-Poisonous Insects currently inside Uchiha Fugaku's body.

"Quickly! Send a message to Elder Setsuna, telling the clan to prepare. We'll return to the village as fast as we can!"

With such a major incident occurring at this time, one can imagine the upheaval it will bring to the Uchiha Clan, especially given the already tense relationship between the village and the clan.

"Yes!"

The remaining four Uchiha Jōnin undoubtedly quite capable to act as guards. Although they were saddened and angry, they also knew that something serious had happened.

The four quickly surveyed the battlefield, searching for any clues they could find.

Ahem, we're about to return to Konoha, and the protagonist is about to officially step into the limelight and challenge the Konoha F4.
