Call Your Brother If You Need Anything

This was the arrangement made by the Grand Elder before his meeting with Fugaku. If any problems arose, Fugaku's family members would be captured immediately, thus giving Fugaku leverage over his weaknesses. At that point, Fugaku Uchiha would have no choice but to act without fear of harming them.

Unexpectedly, Fugaku gathered the families of the Uchiha's high-ranking members. However, they were eventually found by the Grand Elder's subordinates.

"Gentlemen, are you coming with me voluntarily, or am I forcing you to come?"

Yū Uchiha said smugly. He was still fantasizing about how he had turned the tide this time and helped the Grand Elder win the battle, and how the Grand Elder's reward would surely be very generous.

"There are only Uchiha die in battle, not Uchiha who surrender."

Mikoto Uchiha stepped forward; she held the highest position there. The Uchiha clan members behind her slowly rose as well. They understood that if they went, their fathers, husbands, and children would have died in vain.

I must not become a burden to them.

This is the only thought in the minds of these Uchiha Clan right now.

"Don't force me, Mikoto."

Looking at the woman he once loved, Yū Uchiha felt a deep ache in his heart. In his eyes, it was Fugaku Uchiha, by virtue of his position as the young Clan Head, had stolen the woman he cherished. This was also the initial reason why Yū Uchiha joined the Grand Elder's ranks. He vowed that one day he would definitely take Mikoto Uchiha back. The Uchiha is known for its obsession. It was this very hatred that allowed Yū Uchiha to awaken the Mitsudomoe and gain the Grand Elder's favor.

"You, you can still turn back now. Don't follow the Grand Elder and make one mistake after another."

Looking at her former playmate, Mikoto couldn't bear to see him go astray and was still thinking of ways to win him back.

"Wrong? Where did I go wrong? It was Fugaku was wrong. When he took you away from me, did he even consider family ties?"

"He still wants to oppose the Grand Elder? That's just wishful thinking."

Yū Uchiha red. The Mitsudomoe in his eyes were spinning rapidly, as if he were about to undergo some kind of transformation.

"I made it very clear to you back then that I've always only ever considered you a friend."

"Friends? Just friends? Hahaha."

Yū Uchiha into laughter, looking like a madman to others. His love for Mikoto slowly transformed into hatred. If he couldn't have her, he would destroy her. This thought kept swirling in Yū Uchiha's mind.

"Since that's how it is, then you can all die!"

"Do it, kill them."

Yū Uchiha and gave the order.

"This..."

The Uchiha behind him hesitated and did not make a move. The Grand Elder's order was to capture them alive and stop the enemy from resisting.

Seeing his authority being questioned, Yū Uchiha turned around and his arm pierced directly into the body of the nearest Uchiha clansman.

"Well."

He looked at Yū Uchiha in confusion, then closed his eyes in resentment. Yū Uchiha pulled his hand away and flicked the blood off it.

"If anyone dares to disobey my orders again, you'll be next."

"Kill."

This time, under Yū Uchiha's orders, his subordinates did not hesitate and immediately began to act.

How could the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled possibly be a match for the vigorous young people? Before long, casualties began to occur.

Why are you blocking my way? I need to get in.

Outside the Uchiha Clan's gates, Uchiha Obito was stopped. He had sensed the tense atmosphere within the clan that morning. Although not exceptionally bright, he wasn't stupid enough to seek outside help. Among the people he knew, Kakashi was the most cunning. So Obito went to Kakashi for analysis. Unbeknownst to Obito, Kakashi already knew the answer. After learning the whole story, Obito immediately rushed back. He needed to help the Uchiha. The reason neither of the two factions within the clan notified Obito was because they considered Obito already aligned with Minato Namikaze. Thus, Obito and his two companions were stopped by the Anbu. Why three? Because Might Guy was competing with Kakashi when Obito went to see Kakashi. After learning about the Uchiha Clan's situation, he was determined to help Obito.

"This is the Lord Hokage's order. No one is allowed to enter the Uchiha Clan Compound tonight. Don't put me in a difficult position."

"I am Uchiha Obito. I want to go home."

At this moment, Obito activated his Mangekyo. He could see his clansmen killing each other inside. His kindness wouldn't allow him to stand by and watch. He was still that boy, unchanged in the slightest.

Just as Uchiha Obito was about to force his way in, Kakashi grabbed his arm. Obito turned his head and looked at Kakashi in confusion. If it were anyone else trying to stop him at this moment, they would have been Obito. But since it was Kakashi, Obito had some patience.

"Obito, wait a minute. They're just following orders. If you force your way in now, none of them will survive."

Kakashi had served in the Anbu and knew Anbu rules, which was one of the reasons he stopped Obito. Secondly, if Obito rushed in without explanation, he would be violating Orochimaru's orders, which was no joke. The first person to disobey Orochimaru's orders is now buried a long way off.

"Karot, I know you can hear me. If you don't come out soon, I'm going to rush in."

Kakashi shouted loudly. He knew that Karot could definitely hear him.

"This younger brother is really rebellious."

Karot shook his head with a wry smile.

"This is all your fault for spoiling him. Go away!"

Orochimaru didn't believe that Karot wouldn't go.

"Then goodbye, Orochimaru- senpai."

Karot Instantaneous Movement and left the area.

"Lord Orochimaru, won't letting them in affect our plans?"

Dou asked at this moment.

"Do you think I want that group to win?"

"Of course, it's Fugaku!"

"That's right. Kakashi and the others will definitely go in to help Fugaku, and I don't want the Uchiha to suffer too much damage."

"After all, war is about to begin."

After saying that, Orochimaru left. After all, he already knew the outcome of the battle.

Seeing Orochimaru's retreating figure, Tobu immediately realized what was going on.

"Are they going to use the Uchiha as cannon fodder? As expected of Lord Orochimaru."

He thought to himself, but his steps were not slow as he followed Orochimaru.

"Besides threatening your brother, what else can you do, Kakashi?"

Karot appeared silently in front of Kakashi and the others. Karot's arrival was so fast that it caught everyone off guard and gave them a fright. This, of course, did not include Kakashi.
