Chapter 247
What are the weaknesses of Father's Dōjutsu?
Itachi was deep in thought.
The father turned around, and their Sharingan met.
Amidst a flash of crimson light, the father and son communicated using their eye powers.
The scene I witnessed back then, the moment when Shisui was killed, flashed back in rapid succession.
The power of Amakawa Akito.
A furious shout from Shisui.
And... finally, Shisui's death.
Fugaku Uchiha read through all the scenes in an instant.
"So that's how it is..."
Fugaku Uchiha's expression changed.
"Itachi, have you been enduring this lie all along?"
Fugaku Uchiha never expected the truth to be like this.
Amakawa Akito...
Not only did they kill Shisui, but they were even bold enough to kill a daimyo.
What a... vicious person!
And then the memory was read through.
Fugaku Uchiha saw that his eldest son's Three-Tomoe Sharingan had transformed into the Mangekyō Sharingan.
He couldn't help but feel both happy and surprised.
But considering that this was achieved at the cost of Shisui's death, Fugaku Uchiha felt sorrow again.
"Yes, Father."
Itachi nodded.
"What I'm saying is that Amakawa Akito is extremely fond of meddling in other people's business. As the captain of the Anbu, I've reviewed his file and found that he's involved in many major events..."
Rights are such convenient things.
"If Father were to stage a coup, do you think... Amakawa Akito might interfere and use this opportunity to cause trouble?"
"..."
Fugaku Uchiha remained silent.
This is highly likely to happen.
After all, the deaths of the Fourth Hokage and his wife were also related to Amakawa Akito.
There are even rumors that...
The Hokage's wife's body was taken away by Amakawa Akito.
"Father, that's probably not just a rumor..."
Itachi shook his head.
"According to the secret files of the Anbu, the body of the Fourth Hokage's wife is indeed missing. The last words left by the Fourth Hokage before his sacrifice also suggest that he was indeed taken away by Amakawa Akito..."
"..."
Fugaku Uchiha frowned.
They realized the seriousness of the problem.
The Uchiha's original intention was to change the village.
Instead of destroying the village.
If a coup results in significant damage to the clan and the village, then it has deviated from its original purpose.
"Amakawa Akito's ability to accurately appear in various parts of the ninja world and learn about major events suggests that he may have spies planted in our village as well..."
Itachi continued.
This is extremely frightening.
An army marches on its stomach.
For ninjas, intelligence is as important as provisions.
Whoever controls firsthand information gains a decisive advantage.
Itachi: "So... the village has come up with a clever plan: to set a trap and invite Amakawa Akito into it, and then..."
Itachi revealed the plan prepared by the Konoha High Command.
On the surface, the goal is to make Amakawa Akito become the Amekage and acknowledge the Land of Rain's international status as the sixth largest country.
In reality, the intention was to use this opportunity to eliminate this threat.
"If you, Father, could personally eliminate Amakawa Akito, you would prove your strength to everyone, and then..."
Itachi stepped forward.
At that point, even without launching a coup d'état.
Based on prestige alone, he might be able to become the Fifth Hokage.
"..."
Fugaku Uchiha remained silent.
It must be said that this proposal is very tempting.
Amakawa Akito's infamous reputation is known to all.
The murder of a daimyo is utterly inconceivable and unheard of!
Such unconventional individuals will inevitably continue to bring harm to the ninja world.
On the other hand, it was to avenge the death of the Shisui Uchiha family.
As the leader, I also have to accomplish this task.
"I understand, Itachi. You've worked hard these past six months..."
Fugaku Uchiha reached out and patted his son on the shoulder.
Itachi nodded slightly, suppressing his excitement, and slowly withdrew from the underground.
Perhaps...
If Father could truly defeat Amakawa Akito through sheer strength.
In that case, the clan's coup might be prevented.
Becoming Hokage through honorable means is better than bearing the stigma of treason...
"Things... there's still a chance..."
Filled with joy, Itachi left the scene.
Hokage Building, conference room.
"Danzo, what should we do if Fugaku Uchiha really kills Amakawa Akito?"
Utatane Koharu, offered her suggestion.
Setting up a trap is certainly a good idea.
But what if Fugaku Uchiha really did defy the heavens...?
"Ha, how much do you look down on Amakawa Akito?"
Danzo photographed all the materials related to the Akito.
In terms of strength, Danzo knew that Amakawa Akito was extremely powerful.
"Perhaps a younger Hiruzen and I could have fought him, but now..."
As we get older.
Their strength began to decline rapidly.
To compensate for the decline in strength.
Danzo and Orochimaru began collaborating once again.
They began researching Hashirama Cells and the Sharingan.
That's right, it's the Sharingan.
He placed one of Kagami Uchiha's Sharingan, which had been left behind, into his eye socket.
Of course, he later obtained Shisui Uchiha's right Mangekyou Mangekyō.
That would give us an even greater chance of success.
Ultimately, their strength will certainly far surpass what they were before.
But until the human body research is completed, they still need people like Fugaku Uchiha to take the fall.
"Once Fugaku Uchiha and Amakawa Akito are both severely injured, or even one of them is killed, we will swarm in and finish off the rest."
Danzo said.
Of course, it wasn't during the day, but secretly at night.
Let the itachi lead the way.
"Then let's leave it at that."
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura nodded, confirming the arrangements for the trap.
175. Orochihime and Akito
Not long after Itachi left.
Fugaku Uchiha remains in the Naka Shrine.
Because... he's waiting for someone.
A vortex appeared.
Obito Uchiha on the scene.
"So, your answer is..."
Over the course of several years, Obito Uchiha visited Fugaku Uchiha several times.
He was very interested in Fugaku Uchiha's coup.
If we can also bring Konoha under our control, then realizing the Eye of the Moon Plan will be much easier.
When the time comes to face Nagato, they will be more confident.
"The Konoha High Command has proposed a new plan. I intend to eliminate Amakawa Akito first."
Fugaku Uchiha changed his mind at the last minute.
The decision was made to postpone the coup.
If we defeat Amakawa Akito, we might gain the possibility of Hokage Position through legitimate means...
Then we absolutely cannot let this good opportunity slip by.
"Is this your answer?"
Obito Uchiha his eyes, his single Mangekyō Sharingan light.
Fugaku Uchiha, however, activated his Mangekyō without any fear.
The two stared at each other for a moment.
Ultimately, Obito Uchiha chose to retreat.
