Two Pairs of Mangekyō!

Two Pairs of Mangekyō!

"Muto, what did you just say? Say that again!"

Fugaku completely lost his composure.

He stepped forward, grabbed Muto by the collar, and forcibly lifted him into the air as he roared.

Mangekyō!

It was actually the Mangekyō!

"I-I..."

Muto looked flustered and stammered, unable to get the words out.

"Clan Head!"

"Why wasn't this reported? Something like this should have been reported immediately!"

Uchiha Itachi stood nearby, his eyes full of anxiety, yet he remained calmly where he was, silently thinking about what to do.

But!

"Clan Head, Elders!"

A Medical Ninja immediately said, "Both of them are out of danger."

Brothers who had grown up supporting each other!

Violence!

Setsuna suddenly said, "Kazuki's pupils were Mangekyō and were dug out. What about Shisui? What happened to his eyes? Was he just collateral damage?"

"Itachi!" Fugaku said in a low voice. "You and Shisui are the closest. Tell me. Do not hide anything!"

Not answering was the best answer.

The clan members' emotions were once again on the verge of erupting.

Kazuki's concerns had been necessary.

Itachi's lips trembled.

Anger!

Regret!

"I-I only heard Kazuki mention it a few days ago." Muto took several deep breaths to calm himself before saying, "He said his Sharingan had evolved. He checked the records and confirmed that it was the Mangekyō Sharingan."

He looked around, his expression somewhat ugly.

His gaze settled on Muto.

Fugaku shouted sternly, his expression frantic and furious.

What had happened to Kazuki had dealt him a heavy blow as well.

Whoosh!

At that moment, many gazes turned toward Uchiha Itachi.

The barrage of questions silenced everyone present.

Brother Shisui, whom he admired, had had his Sharingan dug out.

Sōgi stood silently to the side and did not object.

Though it sounded like a question, it was more like he was talking to himself.

The group fell silent once more.

The corners of Fugaku and the others' eyes twitched again.

Itachi remained silent, but his breathing grew slightly heavier.

At this moment, although Itachi was trapped in hell because of the relationship between the village and the clan, he still held onto a sliver of hope and had not completely sided with the Hokage Faction.

Even if he belonged to the Dove Faction!

Setsuna, however, remained very calm. His eyes were like those of a hawk as he stared fixedly at Muto and said word by word, "Muto, tell us everything you know. Do not conceal a single thing. Do you hear me?"

Shisui siding with the Hokage Faction was practically an open secret.

Would he?

Although Kazuki toyed with Shisui almost every day, the two were still brothers.

The question was directed at the Medical Ninja.

After a long while!

Uchiha Muto—he had always felt there was something wrong with him.

"I don't know!" Muto answered decisively. "He told me, but I don't know whether he told anyone else. Still, I think Shisui..."

"Very quickly." Fugaku said calmly, "Then invite them in."

An Uchiha arrived, dropped to one knee, and said in a deep voice, "The Anbu have arrived."

At this time, Itachi had not yet experienced Shisui's death.

If Shisui knew, would he keep it secret?

Would he keep it secret from those people?

They stared at the unconscious Kazuki and the bloody holes where his eyes had been, their expressions so grim they seemed ready to drip water.

That alone had already provoked him.

And!

How many Uchiha had good tempers?

That had been the final straw that crushed Itachi's heart.

How would the Hokage and the others react if the Uchiha gained another Mangekyō?

Fugaku and the others' expressions became even uglier.

This made the expressions of everyone present change even more drastically.

Though they were not the aggressive Hawk Faction, if the Dove Faction obtained a Mangekyō, would they still remain doves?

Besides!

With so many people here now, what were they supposed to do?

When it concerned the Mangekyō above the Three Tomoe, which Uchiha could remain indifferent?

Sōgi also remained silent.

Those legendary eyes—no one had possessed them since Uchiha Madara. Who would have thought they had once been so close, practically within reach, only to vanish in an instant?

That should have been the Uchiha's pride!

Because he had already known the answer.

The clan's trump card!

Something this serious had happened to Kazuki. Shisui would definitely have been told.

"Are there any clues?"

Shisui's death had completely driven Itachi mad. He had fallen into despair, leading to the later Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall.

In an instant.

Heartache!

Had they known they would hear such shocking news, they would have gone to Naka Shrine.

Something was off!

But what was off?

The situation had completely spiraled out of control, yet a shadow lingered in his heart, as though someone was leading them by the nose.

Fugaku muttered to himself.

"Elder Setsuna!"

Countless emotions intertwined, nearly driving the Uchiha mad.

At this point, stopping it no longer had any meaning.

But!

Then they might as well question them openly right here!

After all, the Uchiha were the victims. Even if the Hokage and the others found out, what could they do?

...Our family lost a Mangekyō, and our clan genius was seriously injured. You deal with it!

Only!

Fugaku said in a low voice, "Do not make baseless accusations."

"Is there really so little evidence?" Setsuna sneered. "Where is this? The core area of the Uchiha Clan Compound. And who are Shisui and Kazuki? Two Uchiha prodigies, powerful jonin. Shisui is Body Flicker Shisui, and Kazuki had gained the Mangekyō."

"Why not say it?"

The Uchiha had lost a pair of Mangekyō!

Just look at the expressions of the Uchiha around you. Try telling them to disperse now.

Those words made everyone present change expression again.

They had to stop this!

That heavy, powerful hand brought Fugaku's rationality back.

"To steal Shisui and Kazuki's eyes in the Uchiha's core territory, what kind of enormous strength and influence would be required? In all of Konoha, who could do it?"

That was the Mangekyō!

You two bastards, are you Uchiha or Sarutobi?

I'd bow down to you.

What would the Hokage and the others do if they found out?

"Hiruzen Sarutobi!" Setsuna said coldly, enunciating each word. "He must have done it."

Fugaku said coldly, "Who knew that Kazuki possessed the Mangekyō?"

If!

Fugaku and the others closed their eyes in pain.

Setsuna shouted sharply, "Calm down!"

The clan members' emotions had already been stirred up.

Too much had happened today.

This was so serious...

Brothers without parents!

Just imagining what would happen next made Itachi shudder all over.

The Uchiha higher-ups all understood.

As Kagami Uchiha's grandson, and because he had repeatedly opposed the Hawk Faction, Kazuki was almost naturally aligned with the Dove Faction.

Sōgi also stepped forward and placed a hand on Fugaku's shoulder.

"No!" the Medical Ninja answered decisively. "The only thing I can tell you is that both of them suffered severe injuries. Uchiha Kazuki is in the worst condition. He likely will not awaken anytime soon."

Fugaku suddenly asked, "How are the two of them?"

Yet a strange feeling arose in his heart.

The Hokage knew, but they did not!

How wonderful!

Only Setsuna wore a cold sneer as he said, "Itachi, tell me. Did Shisui tell the Hokage?"

Uchiha Itachi had also been deeply shaken. Otherwise, he would not have stood there silently with such a heavy expression.

No!

Muto lowered his voice. "He said that if the clan gained another Mangekyō, perhaps something bad might happen..."

Even Fugaku's gaze toward Itachi turned cold.

"Yes!"

That certain answer struck like a bolt from the blue.

In his urgency, the Three Tomoe in his eyes began to change faintly.

"Heh heh!"

He had concealed his own Mangekyō for the sake of the bigger picture!

Would Shisui know?

Under Fugaku's fierce gaze, he finally said, "Brother Shisui... should have had the Mangekyō as well!"

The Anbu soon arrived.

His silver-white hair faintly revealed his identity.

Hatake Kakashi!
