"What are you?"
Fugaku barked sharply.
His expression was icy.
How was this possible?!
A stranger had entered the Uchiha's most central area.
How had he evaded the Barrier Team and Patrol Squad?
Especially the Patrol Squad. Under Kazuna's orders, Sensor Ninja had been added to them. Though there were not many, every Patrol Squad was guaranteed to have one.
The Barrier had also been redesigned. Only Fugaku, Kazuna, Setsuna, and Zongyi knew about it!
Moreover, the weakest people present were Elite Ninja, and there were even three pairs of Mangekyo. Before Kazuna spoke up, neither he nor Shisui had noticed the other man!
Something was seriously wrong!
Before the Masked Man could speak, Kazuna cut in. "Clan Leader, he is also an Uchiha clansman. However, judging by the looks of it, he should be a Rogue Ninja."
An Uchiha Rogue Ninja?
Fugaku and the others frowned deeply, seeming to search their memories.
There were not many Uchiha Rogue Ninja, only a handful in total. Which one of them could hide around them without anyone noticing?
The Masked Man's entire face was shrouded in shadow, but Kazuna could sense that he was sizing him up.
He could not help giving the Masked Man a thumbs-up and flashing him a toothy grin.
His teeth gleamed brightly.
Masked Man: "..."
That classic pose reminded him of someone familiar.
That kick... it felt like it had happened only yesterday!
His face hurt a little!
He could not help growing restless.
Besides, being discovered by Kazuna was something he had not expected. It had disrupted his plans.
The caution in his heart rose to the limit.
Facing the six strongest Uchiha, along with three pairs of Mangekyo, the moment they made a move, he would have to run immediately. Otherwise, he would definitely get the shit beaten out of him.
"Damn it, I've only been away for a few days, and the Uchiha Clan Grounds have become the most dangerous place in the entire Shinobi World. Other than the God of Shinobi and the Asura of the Shinobi World, anyone who comes here is dead!"
Obito Uchiha took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "You were actually able to discover me. It seems the clan has produced some remarkable talents as well."
"You were able to avoid the Sensor Ninja and Barrier Team and appear before us without a sound. You are no ordinary Uchiha either. Mangekyo, right?"
Kazuna looked at Obito Uchiha and chuckled softly.
There was a deeper meaning in that smile, making Obito even more uncomfortable.
He faintly felt that Kazuna knew far more than he had imagined.
"Mangekyo?"
Fugaku and the others were genuinely shocked.
The Uchiha had a long history, but even among recorded accounts, there were definitely not many Mangekyo.
This man actually possessed Mangekyo?
Obito was also startled. He stared at Kazuna with cold eyes and said, "How could someone who has not left the village for years know so much? Are you really Uchiha Kazuna?"
"Haha, you saw through me!"
Three Tomoe appeared in Kazuna's eyes. He folded his arms over his chest and said arrogantly, "Since that is the case, I'll tell you. My true name is..."
"Madara Uchiha!"
He suddenly pointed at Obito Uchiha and said, "Would you like to dance?"
Damn it!
The corners of Fugaku and the others' eyes twitched.
You?
Madara Uchiha?
Get lost!
After building up the atmosphere, that was what you came out with?
When would these cold jokes ever end?
Especially Setsuna and Zongyi. Those two old men had truly met Madara Uchiha back then and had even followed him.
Did Kazuna have a single hair that resembled Madara Uchiha?
You spent all day carrying a birdcage and holding a teacup, flirting with girls in the clan.
Madara Uchiha was like that?
When Madara Uchiha died, he was still a virgin, damn it. You had nearly slept with a hundred women!
Kazuna ignored the people rolling their eyes at him and said to Obito, "Kid, state your name!"
Obito Uchiha: "..."
What the hell am I supposed to say my name is?
"What?" Kazuna raised a brow. "A cowardly rat like you does not even dare tell me your name in front of Madara Uchiha?"
Obito Uchiha said in a low voice, "Enough, Uchiha Kazuna. Let me ask you this: do you hate Danzo?"
Without even thinking, Kazuna replied, "No!"
I practically love Danzo to death, whether you believe it or not!
If it had not been for that bastard Shimura Danzō, and Hiruzen Sarutobi had personally handled things instead, the village might have become something entirely different. The Uchiha would have been in even greater danger.
Now, everyone hated Danzo. Whenever something dirty happened, they could dump it all on Danzo's head. How wonderful!
Everyone's slogan was... damn Danzo!
That was why the Uchiha had an opportunity.
Danzo was both their downfall and their making!
That was exactly what Kazuna did. Whenever he had nothing better to do, he would manufacture a few small problems and casually toss them onto Danzo's head.
Over the past few years, because Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi were close, the ninja clans large and small had not dared make a sound. They had swallowed many bitter consequences themselves, but in truth, they had long hated Danzo to the bone.
Why did Kazuna dare rise up at this time? That was the reason.
Otherwise, even if Kazuna could keep Susanoo active without end, how many ninja could he fight?
After fighting Konohagakure, what about the other four ninja villages?
They could bury him under sheer numbers!
"Hmph!" Obito snorted coldly. "You have been fighting him for years, and now it has been brought out into the open. It has long become a life-or-death situation. Why put on an act in front of me?"
"Looks like you will not believe me no matter what I say?" Kazuna spread his hands. "Fine, unfamiliar Mangekyo, tell me your purpose."
Obito glanced at the others and said coldly, "Now is not the right time. Wait for it. We will meet again, Uchiha Kazuna!"
Space twisted, and Obito vanished.
Damn it, from beginning to end, Kazuna had suppressed him the entire time. He had not even dared reveal his name, and that had choked back everything else Obito had wanted to say.
He needed to go back, regroup, and get his rhythm back!
Besides, many things could not be said in front of the others.
"He vanished?" Fugaku frowned deeply and said coldly, "Time-Space Ninjutsu?"
Ninja like that were the most troublesome.
"It should be an ability of his Mangekyo." Kazuna smiled faintly. "Itachi, go check on the Barrier Team and the Sensor Ninja. Something should have happened to them."
"Alright!"
Itachi left using the Body Flicker Technique.
Before long, he returned.
"Brother Kazuna, you were right. Several people from the Barrier Team were caught in genjutsu and opened the Barrier. The Sensor Ninja had also fallen unconscious. By the time I arrived, they had already been discovered by the Patrol Squad and were preparing to come here to report."
Kazuna nodded and looked at everyone. "Now do you understand why I wanted to change the Barrier, the hidden sentries, and the Patrol Squad? The Uchiha Clan Grounds are practically a tourist attraction. Anyone who wants to come can come."
Fugaku took a deep breath and said coldly, "Kazuna, focus on external matters. You do not need to worry about internal affairs anymore. I will personally oversee them, and Elder Setsuna and Elder Zongyi will assist me."
Setsuna and Zongyi both nodded.
Previously, even when Itachi personally admitted that he had told the Hokage and the others everything about the Barrier, patrols, and hidden sentries, Setsuna and the others had still not cared.
This was the Uchiha's pride, pride in themselves.
They also did not believe anyone would dare attack the Uchiha Clan Grounds.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others were no exception.
Just like the Uchiha, who were divided into four separate factions including Kazuna's, the Hokage's faction and even all of Konohagakure had even more factions.
Starting a civil war was not that easy.
In the Original Work, the Hokage and the others had thoroughly infiltrated the Uchiha. Then two Mangekyo worked with Root and the Anbu, and they happened to encounter that bastard Fugaku, who chose not to resist.
Otherwise, destroying the Uchiha would have been nothing but a dream!
Just like now. Once the Uchiha became vigilant, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately did not dare make a move.
If they truly fought, the Uchiha would definitely be destroyed, but how many losses would Konohagakure suffer?
By a conservative estimate, at least several thousand ninja would die!
Would the other four ninja villages just stand by and do nothing?
The result of civil war would be nothing more than mutual destruction.
