At the same time.
Konoha's Underground Base.
Hyuga Sho met with Uchiha Fugaku.
Uchiha Saotome was still searching for his son's remains. No one knew what the outcome would be.
"I never expected... Shimura Danzō would really make a move against Uchiha Shisui..."
Just as Hyuga Sho had warned Uchiha Fugaku before.
Everything had happened exactly as predicted.
A man with treasure invites trouble.
Older and more mature, Uchiha Fugaku understood this even better.
That was why he had hidden his Sharingan all these years.
To prevent the village's high command from growing wary of him.
What made Uchiha Fugaku uncomfortable was...
Uchiha Shisui had hidden his Mangekyō Sharingan from his own clan.
Yet he had displayed those eyes to the Konoha High Command.
The fact that Uchiha Shisui had betrayed the Uchiha Clan was now set in stone.
Even so.
An Uchiha had died at the hands of Konoha's high command.
That still left Uchiha Fugaku chilled to the bone.
His desire for a coup had grown even firmer.
"Uchiha Shisui's eyes..."
"Are with me."
Everything was just like that secret meeting on that night.
Hyuga Sho had recovered Uchiha Shisui's eyes and intended to keep them as a spare.
Of course, he was not going to use them himself.
"I heard that after learning of Uchiha Shisui's death, your son awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan."
Hyuga Sho said this to Uchiha Fugaku.
"!"
At this news, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes widened slightly.
"Is that so..."
Was this good news?
Probably... not.
"Your son is most likely on the same side as Uchiha Shisui."
After saying this, Hyuga Sho saw him out.
The warning was quite clear.
If Uchiha Fugaku could not keep an eye on his son.
Then...
If Uchiha Itachi ended up dead or something, he should not claim
