Hidden Leaf Village, Uchiha Clan District.
Fugaku Uchiha's hearty laughter echoed in the patriarch's mansion, "Hahahahaha, you are indeed my son!"
Fugaku looked at Itachi Uchiha's scarlet pair of Two-Tomoe Sharingan who came back, with pride written all over his face.
He completely ignored his son's low mood and the gloominess in his eyes.
Itachi Uchiha, who had just returned from a mission, had red eyes and couldn't help but recall the scene where his teammates and teachers were killed.
Especially the scene where Tenma takes the initiative to face the enemy in order to protect himself, screaming and telling himself to run while blood is spraying.
A few days ago, they were catching cats together. Itachi Uchiha was also accepted by Tenma and Shinji, and the three became friends.
Now this team is the only one who survives.
Stimulated by extreme fear and the death of his teammate and teacher, Itachi Uchiha turned on Two-Tomoe Sharingan, which also allowed him to see Tiger-Striped Mask Man, Sharingan with a scarlet pupil in one eye.
However, he doesn't understand why there are Uchiha people living outside, and why they want to kill Ninja Miye!
Fugaku Uchiha is still laughing.
After all, Itachi is already eight years old. It would be very worrying for a genius of this age to not activate Sharingan yet.
And his father's harsh laughter made Itachi Uchiha tighten his fists, and his heart was filled with emotions. He didn't understand that his teammates and teachers were dead. What on earth was worth celebrating in exchange for these eyes?
A Anbu Ninja suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall. "Fugaku patriarch! Lord Hokage urgently summons you to Konoha Hospital!"
"Huh? Konoha Hospital?" Fugaku Uchiha's smile froze, his brows knitted together, and he asked, "Can you tell me what it is about?"
"You are qualified to know." Anbu Ninja lowered his voice. "Shisui Uchiha failed the mission and returned injured."
Surprise!
The air in the hospital froze instantly, Fugaku Uchiha's face became solemn, and Itachi Uchiha also raised his head suddenly.
Shisui!
Uchiha Clan's top expert failed the mission and was injured?!
"I'll rush there immediately." Fugaku's face became solemn. After Anbu Ninja left, Fugaku saw his son's trembling lips from the corner of his eye and said to him, "You have a good rest at home first, and I'll go see Shisui."
Itachi Uchiha wanted to say something, but the hand he raised suddenly froze in place.
Finally, he just said in despair, "Yes, father."
Konoha Hospital.
Fugaku Uchiha followed Anbu Ninja's prompt and went straight to a ward on the third floor.
After knocking on the door, Third Hokage Hokage's voice came from inside. "Come in."
Fugaku pushed the door open, and in the white ward, Shisui Uchiha was lying on the hospital bed with a gauze bandage on his left eye. The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant and a trace of blood.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, wearing a Hokage cap and Hokage Cloak, was sitting on the chair beside the hospital bed with a solemn expression.
"Fugaku, you are here." Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head slightly and stared at Fugaku.
"Master Patriarch -" Shisui shouted weakly on the hospital bed, trying to stand up.
Fugaku stepped forward and held down Shisui, then sat on the chair opposite.
"Lord Hokage." Fugaku looked at Shisui who was so weak on the hospital bed, and stared at his left eye wrapped with gauze: "Shisui's eyes-"
"Poached by the enemy." Shisui said softly.
Fugaku pupils tremble slightly!
What kind of enemy could actually dig out Shisui's eyes?!
"Who is the enemy?" Fugaku lowered his voice and solemnly asked Uchiha Clan when had he experienced such humiliation!
"This is also the reason why I came to you - Fugaku." Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi on the opposite side sighed.
What does it mean?
Fugaku Uchiha looked at Third Hokage opposite with a solemn expression in confusion.
"Hoshigakure's enemy ---" Shisui looked at the Fugaku clan leader with his remaining right eye and told what happened to them, "There is a Uchiha clansman who opened the square flower tube Sharingan."
When the last few words were spoken, Fugaku was stunned.
The Uchiha bloodline living outside is still a member of the Mangekyo clan!
"Are you sure? Shisui!" Even though Shisui said it himself, Fugaku still couldn't believe it.
Shisui, who was lying on the hospital bed, nodded. "She looks about the same age as me, but she is very strong. So powerful that our team on the mission only encountered her in the first round, and senior Baiyun and senior Hyuga were defeated."
"Even if I turn on Sharingan and fight fiercely with the opponent, I'm still so overwhelmed that I can't even lift my head!"
Recalling the time when the terrifying Dark Red Giant was like a mountain, beating him to the point of retreating, Shisui's right eye pupil was still trembling slightly.
"If her teammates weren't restraining Iwagakure's ninjas, let me find an opportunity to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and then take the opportunity to escape.
It may be difficult for the three of us to come back safely."
Although Shisui did not go into details about the battle, Fugaku had already imagined how dangerous this battle was.
"What's her name?" Fugaku Uchiha asked seriously after hearing the battle.
Shisui opened her mouth and stared at Fugaku with her right eye complicatedly: "She calls herself "Wuming" and says that she was once Uchiha Clan's weapon, but was abandoned by the Uchiha Clan, so she has a lot of hatred for the Uchiha Clan."
Wuming? Weapons? Abandoned?
These words were connected together, making Fugaku puzzled. He crossed his arms on his chest and frowned deeply.
It is impossible for such a powerful Uchiha clansman to remain unknown, let alone be abandoned by the Uchiha Clan.
Thinking of this, Fugaku raised his head and met the eyes of Third Hokage Hokage.
He immediately understood why Third Hokage Hokage called him here.
So Fugaku immediately explained, "Lord Hokage, since I took over as the clan leader, every Uchiha who has opened his eyes has been in Konoha. Even Uchiha who was once married will bring his children back to the clan if they have their eyes opened."
Fugaku emphasized that since he took office as the patriarch.
Then, Fugaku raised another possibility and said, "But - when that adult left, it is unknown whether he took other clan members with him."
Although Fugaku only refers to "that adult" without naming him directly, Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally knows that he is referring to Uchiha Madara who once created Hidden Leaf Village together with First Hokage Senju Hashirama.
"I believe you." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and added another piece of information.
"In addition to this girl Uchiha, there is also a survivor who is suspected to be Uzumaki Clan."
"Uzumaki Clan!" Fugaku remembered Kushina, who died in battle a few years ago, and First Hokage's wife, Uzumaki Lady Mito.
However, Uzumaki Clan has been exterminated for more than ten years. These two Uchiha people and Uzumaki Clan people are living outside?
What a combination!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's old voice was a little hoarse. "Hoshigakure's situation is much worse than I expected."
"According to Shisui's inference, the mastermind behind the Hoshigakure rebellion is so powerful that it cannot be solved by one or two ninja teams. At least a war is needed."
And whether it is Konoha, Sunagakure, or Iwagakure, they no longer have the ability to launch a war in a short period of time.
