The other side of Konoha
Yang Xing's idea was correct, and Shisui Uchiha Yang Xing's subsequent words confirmed it.
"Our Uchiha Clan has not only uncovered this matter, but also something else." Shisui Uchiha looked at him coldly, his words not sounding like a joke, "A few months ago, a member of the Uchiha Clan who had awakened his Sharingan died in the suburbs, his death shrouded in mystery. I'd like to know, is this matter related to you?"
"What does it have to do with me if people from your Uchiha Clan die?" Yang Xing frowned.
"Stop playing dumb. Everyone here is a high-ranking member of Konoha; they should all understand what I'm saying."
A group of people were discussing animatedly. They were all high-ranking members of Konoha, and they all understood the method to obtain the Sharingan from the Uchiha Clan.
This method was mentioned when Orochimaru escaped, but no one could confirm it. However, this method of obtaining the Sharingan does indeed exist.
"Indeed, I understand perfectly well. The Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan is something other humans can possess, unless there are two methods." A group of people discussed animatedly, with one directly stating the key point. "One is, of course, the bloodline of the Uchiha Clan, but this guy can't possibly have that; he's not from the Uchiha Clan."
"You're right, since we don't possess the bloodline," Fugaku Uchiha nodded, acknowledging this method, "Then let's take another approach."
Several people looked at Yang Xing with unusual expressions, their gazes now filled with fear.
The unfinished words of those others were finished by Shisui Uchiha, who said them word by word, "If you want to possess our Sharingan, another method is transplantation. It's done through Medical Ninjutsu, transplanting it into yourself. This method is very dangerous; you must find a suitable person and it must be done in secrecy. This is also known as a forbidden technique in Konoha. Similarly, very few of our clansmen would willingly transplant their eyes into someone else unless they are threatened by someone with two eyes."
Shisui Uchiha's gaze was piercing.
The atmosphere around them became tense.
Yang Xing's expression darkened. "Hey, have you said enough? I didn't kill any of your people to transplant their eyes."
"Then, I want to ask you, how exactly did you acquire your Sharingan?"
Yang Xing fell silent. He couldn't tell these people that he was using his own mobile phone system; he couldn't talk about the system, and even if he did, these people from the old era would never believe him.
Right now, he's indeed stuck in a dead end, and it's a dead end that someone deliberately prepared for him.
"Enough, Shisui." Fugaku Uchiha stood up, looking directly at Yang Xing, and said, "There are some things I don't want to say, but is the death of our clansmen a matter for the Uchiha Clan? Kid, stop Sharingan, show us your Sharingan."
With a jolt of realization, Fugaku Uchiha activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan. His eyes met Fugaku's, and he immediately unleashed a high-intensity Genjutsu.
Yang Xing, who already possessed the Sharingan, felt something was wrong with his eyes.
The restless Three Sharingan Tomoe could no longer be suppressed; it was clear that his Sharingan sensed the danger and was forcibly protecting itself. As a result, the Three Sharingan Tomoe Sharingan suddenly appeared in his eyes, a slowly rotating sight.
The sight of his bloodshot eyes suddenly brought the previously quiet room to a boil.
"Really, really is Three Sharingan Tomoe?"
"This guy really did kill members of the Uchiha Clan."
"He recklessly used forbidden techniques of Konoha and even killed Konoha own people. Just how terrifying is this brat?"
"That's terrifying, I didn't even find out until now."
The surroundings were noisy and chaotic. Most of the family members who had previously thought highly of and trusted Yang Xing had changed their attitudes. Their gazes towards Yang Xing were now filled with fear, hatred, and anger.
"Hey, everyone, listen to me!" Minato Namikaze was frantic. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way, but he simply couldn't believe it. "Yang Xing saved the entire village! He even defeated the Tsuchikage in this battle! Without him, this battle wouldn't have ended so quickly. If the battle had continued, countless people would have died. Can you believe that someone who has dedicated himself to Konoha like this would kill ordinary Konoha ninja?"
"However, his Three Sharingan Tomoe are genuine." Shisui Uchiha's words hit the nail on the head.
Those who originally respected Yang Xing and had high hopes for Yang Xing have changed their minds.
"Lord Fourth Hokage, we all know he is your disciple, so it's understandable that you protect him."
"But, Lord Fourth Hokage, he actually killed people from the village for a pair of eyes, for power. This is a major taboo in our village, and it cannot be tolerated."
As they spoke, they all glared at each other with hatred in their eyes.
Minato Namikaze, a bead of sweat on his forehead, turned to one of the people who might be able to help him. "Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan, you should understand that Yang Xing isn't that kind of person, right?"
"No!" Fugaku Uchiha shook his head, his expression unusually serious. "That's the kind of person he is!"
It seems that after showing Fugaku Uchiha his plan last time, his personality has been warped by this guy.
Well, I guess he brought this on himself, so it's understandable.
"I can tell you all something." Fugaku Uchiha was clearly using this as an excuse to discard his allies, taking advantage of everyone's current suspicion to directly state, "The infighting within the Anbu is actually related to this guy."
"This is terrifying!" Even the elders in the Council of Elders cried out, clutching their heads. "This is a nightmare!"
"It's a disaster that someone like that is even in our village."
"No, this guy needs to be arrested. Who knows if he has some kind of plan behind helping Konoha this time? Besides, this brat defeated the Tsuchikage, so why didn't the Tsuchikage die? Maybe the Rock Ninja's attack was also caused by this brat."
"Yes, yes, it must have been that brat." Some clan leaders gritted their teeth and said viciously, "That wretched brat! I used to think so highly of him. We should just arrest him."
The whole room erupted in commotion, with people shouting and demanding that Yang Xing be caught and locked up.
And this trend was something that Minato Namikaze simply couldn't stop.
"Everyone, calm down and think about this calmly. Even if Yang Xing has the Sharingan, he wouldn't kill people indiscriminately, and the Rock Ninja couldn't possibly have any connection with him."
"Minato, I understand how you feel." Fugaku Uchiha looked at him coldly, his words devoid of any emotion. "But that's the truth. This guy thinks further ahead than anyone else, knows more than anyone else. I'm afraid very few people can understand what he's thinking. It's understandable that you don't know."
"Fugaku Uchiha!" Minato Namikaze gritted his teeth, knowing full well that although Fugaku Uchiha wasn't the one who caused all this, the fact that things had escalated to such a great extent was inextricably linked to him.
"Fourth Hokage, this time it's not up to you."
"That's right. Last time, Orochimaru was let go because of the Hokage's mistake, which led to a huge disaster. This time, we can't let him get away so easily."
Yang Xing's idea was correct, and Shisui Uchiha Yang Xing's subsequent words confirmed it.
"Our Uchiha Clan has not only uncovered this matter, but also something else." Shisui Uchiha looked at him coldly, his words not sounding like a joke, "A few months ago, a member of the Uchiha Clan who had awakened his Sharingan died in the suburbs, his death shrouded in mystery.
