How dare he show such disregard for the Uchiha Clan's strongest Kekkei Genkai, the Mangekyō Sharingan? What an arrogant, insolent fool!
Fugaku Uchiha was furious at Hanfeng's words. His chest heaved, and the veins on his forehead twitched.
But he quickly realized why Hanfeng had said that: he was trying to provoke Obito into revealing the person's identity!
Yes, that had to be it!
Fugaku turned his head and narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Obito's face.
Sure enough, when Obito heard Hanfeng's words, he curled his lip in disdain and snorted. "Gekko Hayate, I admit you're strong, but compared to that person, you're still far behind!"

"There's no record of anything like that in the clan."
Fugaku shook his head,
