The Beneficiary

"Uchiha Fugaku, what's he doing here?"

Upon seeing Uchiha Fugaku's figure in the distance, Uchiha Yue was puzzled. Shouldn't Uchiha Fugaku be leading the elite of the Uchiha Clan to rescue the Uchiha Clan ninjas? However, Uchiha Yue then used his Purple Eye to perceive that Uchiha Fugaku was seriously injured and had no choice but to seek medical help. Moreover, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes were full of anxiety, indicating that the battle ahead was not going well, so he needed to hurry to the battlefield after healing his injuries.

Observing the injuries on Uchiha Fugaku's body, Uchiha Yue realized that the Jonin-level Uchiha Fugaku was so badly injured, and she became even more wary of the enemy ninja's strength. Immediately, just as Uchiha Yue was about to go find Tsunade and not pay any attention to Uchiha Fugaku in the distance, Uchiha Fugaku unexpectedly spotted Uchiha Yue's figure.

Then, Uchiha Fugaku approached Uchiha Yue and asked in a low voice, "Tsuki-kun, you're injured!"

"Yes, just like you, Fugaku."

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Uchiha Yue shrugged and said, "However, Fugaku- kun, Minato Hyuga Hiashi. It doesn't make sense that you, leading the elite of our Uchiha Clan, were injured like this! Is the battle in our Uchiha Clan particularly fierce?"

"That's right, the battle is extremely fierce, even Jiraiya suffered losses!"

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Uchiha Fugaku narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Yuki-kun, did Hyuga Hiashi scheme Hyuga Hiashi you? What happened?"

"It's nothing, he just plans to get rid of me."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yue's lips curled into a cold smile as he said, "Hyuga Hiashi planned to use enemy ninjas to eliminate me and Minato- kun. However, Minato- kun and I cooperated and successfully repelled the enemy ninjas. But that Hyuga Hiashi guy wasn't giving up and actually planned to cause me trouble again! As for the final result, I safely arrived here to heal my injuries, while that Hyuga Hiashi guy could only silently endure the consequence of his Gentle Fist being crippled!"

At this point, Uchiha Yue told Uchiha Fugaku about crippling Hyuga Hiashi's fingers. However, even upon hearing that Hyuga Hiashi's fingers had been crippled, Uchiha Fugaku showed no joy whatsoever. Normally, Uchiha Fugaku should have been overjoyed to learn that Hyuga Hiashi's Gentle Fist had been destroyed. Therefore, Uchiha Yue guessed that something unexpected must have happened on the battlefield on Uchiha Fugaku's side.

Otherwise, why would Uchiha Fugaku always be frowning?

Just as Uchiha Yue had predicted, an unexpected incident occurred when Uchiha Fugaku led the elite Uchiha Clan to provide support.

Then, not long after Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Uchiha Fugaku sighed deeply and said, "Alas, Tsuki-kun, you don't know this. When I led the elite of our clan to provide support, I discovered that the enemy's ninja forces far outnumbered ours. So, even with Jiraiya personally leading the Anbu to provide support, our clan's elite still suffered heavy casualties. In this battle, our Uchiha Clan truly suffered a loss! Now, I finally understand what you meant, Tsuki-kun!"

"I was Danzo!"

"Oh?"

When Uchiha Fugaku arrived, Uchiha Yue frowned slightly and asked, "So, Fugaku- kun, even you are injured?"

"Hmm, the enemy ninjas are really despicable!"

At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes were filled with rage as he said bitterly, "Those enemy ninjas actually collected Elder Lei and the others' corpses and stored them on the battlefield. If I hadn't led the clan's elite to retrieve the Sharingan, it would have fallen into the hands of the enemy ninjas! So, while I was leading the clan's elite to retrieve the Sharingan, the enemy ninjas ambushed us! Now, only Jiraiya and his Anbu are left in the clan, resisting the enemy ninjas' invasion!"

With that, Uchiha Fugaku closed his eyes in anguish, then said in a voice filled with regret, "Moon Lord, I shouldn't have trusted Danzo! Do you know? Our clan's elite have suffered heavy casualties; more than half of them have been killed by enemy ninjas! From today onward, it will become even more difficult for our clan to maintain its reputation as a prestigious clan of Konoha!"

"Fugaku- kun, are you sure this was truly a poisonous scheme devised by Danzo?"

Just as Uchiha Fugaku arrived, Uchiha Yue suddenly frowned slightly and asked, "The elites of Kumogakure and Iwagakure are ambushing Minato and me at the Minato Hyuga Clan's stronghold. It's impossible for the enemy to send so many troops to surround and annihilate you! Furthermore, even if Danzo wanted to weaken our Uchiha Clan, there was no need to go to such extremes! Fugaku- kun, I feel there's definitely some conspiracy hidden here!"

"Perhaps you didn't fall for Danzo's Danzo, but rather a third party has joined the war!"

At this point, Uchiha Yue began to rack his brains trying to figure out who was taking advantage of the chaos in Konoha.

However, Uchiha Fugaku was pressed for time, as the battle at the Uchiha Clan's territory still required his command of the Uchiha Clan's elite Uchiha Fugaku. Therefore, without giving Uchiha Yue much time to consider, Uchiha Fugaku went to treat his injuries. Soon after his injuries healed, he quickly said goodbye to Uchiha Fugaku and went to the battlefield at the Uchiha Yue Uchiha Clan's territory to oversee the battle.

But...

Not long after Uchiha Fugaku left, Uchiha Yue suddenly had some thoughts while he was thinking.

Immediately afterward, Uchiha Yue recalled the forces in the original story, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought to himself:

"Taking advantage of the opportunity presented by the attacks on Konoha by Iwagakure and Kumogakure, they came to Konoha to fish in troubled waters..."

"That third-party force that came to Konoha to stir up trouble must have the resources to fight against Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and even Konoha!"

"Now that Sunagakure has acquired territory from the Land of Medicine, they have no reason to cause trouble in Konoha!"

"In that case, the ones who can come to Konoha to fish in troubled waters are those guys from Kirigakure!"

"And..."

Thinking silently to this point, a glint of light suddenly flashed in Uchiha Yue's eyes, and he continued to think:

"Furthermore, if I remember correctly, the current Mizukage of Kirigakure should be that person, right?"

"Could it be that the ultimate beneficiary of this war is the person hiding in Kirigakure?"

"The true ruler of Kirigakure, Uchiha Madara!"
