Shield

Clearly, Uchiha Fugaku knew Uchiha Yue very well. At the very least, Uchiha Fugaku knew very well that every piece of information Uchiha Yue brought back shocked him. And this time, Uchiha Yue obviously couldn't disappoint Uchiha Fugaku either; the information he wanted would definitely be something that would shock Uchiha Fugaku once again.

Then, looking at Uchiha Fugaku before him, a slight smile appeared on his lips. Uchiha Yue toyed with the teacup in front of him and uttered the first piece of news that shocked Uchiha Fugaku: "Fugaku- kun, the first thing I want to do is what I did in the Land of Wind. The Third Kazekage has been killed by me!"

"What?"

Having just heard the first piece of news from Uchiha Yue, Uchiha Fugaku already felt his heart couldn't take it.

It wasn't that Uchiha Fugaku had a heart condition, but rather that the news about Uchiha Yue was simply too shocking.

You have to understand, even in the entire Shinobi World, the news of the Third Kazekage's death is extremely important intelligence!

Now, Uchiha Yue has actually informed Uchiha Fugaku directly of the successful assassination of the Third Kazekage. How could Uchiha Fugaku not be shocked?

However, as the head of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fugaku possessed a certain level of magnanimity. After a brief moment of shock, Uchiha Fugaku took a deep breath and slowly analyzed, "Moon- Uchiha Fugaku, I received intelligence long ago regarding the disappearance of the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure. But I truly didn't expect that you had actually killed him! If you don't mind, Moon-kun, could you recount the details of how you killed the Third Kazekage?"

"I need to know some information about the death of the Third Kazekage in order to determine what the Sunagakure will do next!"

"Okay, no problem!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Uchiha Yue smiled and said, "My original purpose in going to the Land of Wind was to assassinate the Third Kazekage, but I didn't expect to meet someone with the same goals, Sasori of the Red Sands of the Sasori of the Red Sands Sunagakure. Sasori is quite interesting; he actually got involved with Hyuga Hiashi from our village. Before Sasori of the Red Sands cooperated with me, he was already Hyuga Hiashi with, or at least using, Hyuga Hiashi."

"However, because of me, his cooperation with Hyuga Hiashi broke down."

"Furthermore, after assassinating the Third Kazekage, Sasori of the Red Sands also disappeared, and his whereabouts are unknown!"

Then, Uchiha Yue returned to the main topic and said to Uchiha Fugaku in front of him, "As for how the Third Kazekage was killed, it was naturally done in cooperation with Sasori of the Red Sands. However, Sasori of the Red Sands's stance was somewhat wavering, so in the end, I managed to kill the Third Kazekage by chance, and Sasori of the Red Sands was also seriously injured by me. However, because there was another group of ninjas of unknown origin present, I did not retrieve the Third Kazekage's body, nor did I completely kill Sasori of the Red Sands. That's roughly what happened."

"This information is sufficient, Moon Lord."

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Uchiha Fugaku pondered for a moment and said, "Yuki-kun, before you returned, I heard that the medicine fields of Sunagakure were attacked, and many Sunagakure ninjas guarding them were killed by assassins. Moreover, according to intelligence, the number of assassins at the medicine fields being built by Sunagakure is increasing, and even an entire ninja force has appeared, trying to break into the Sunagakure medicine fields. If this trend continues, the Sunagakure medicine fields may not be able to be protected!"

Then, Uchiha Fugaku paused again, before turning to Uchiha Yue and saying, "The medicinal herb field is the lifeblood of Sunagakure! If the Sunagakure's medicinal herb field is breached, the internal conflicts within Sunagakure will definitely intensify. During the time the Third Kazekage was missing, the Sunagakure ninjas of his faction became somewhat restless. If the Sunagakure's lifeblood, the medicinal herb field, were to suffer further damage, Sunagakure would face the danger of internal division!"

"If I were a high-ranking member of the Sunagakure..."

"Then what I need to do is shift the blame!"

"As for the best way to divert attention from the problem, it's definitely to start a war!"

At this point, Uchiha Fugaku stared intently at Uchiha Yue in front of him and asked, "Tsuki-kun, you originally wanted Sunagakure to start a war, didn't you?"

"That's right!"

Seeing that Uchiha Fugaku could deduce the Sunagakure's impending war from such limited intelligence, Uchiha Yue thought to himself that Uchiha Fugaku truly lived up to his reputation as a strategist; his deductive abilities were indeed legendary. Then, after answering Uchiha Fugaku's question, Uchiha Yue took a deep breath and said, "Only by waging war can I seek revenge against Uchiha Yue. Frankly, Sunagakure merely a pawn in my hands. Even if they are wiped out, it will have nothing to do with me Kirigakure, Uchiha Yue."

"Now, Fugaku, I have two things to tell you."

"The first thing is to prepare an elite force for me, with all members being the best of my Uchiha Clan. I will send this elite force of my clan to the border between the Land of Fire Land of Wind, under the command of the supreme commander there, Minato Namikaze, to participate in the war against the Sunagakure and defeat the invading Sunagakure!"

"The second thing, Fugaku- kun, is that I need an elite member, and one who is absolutely loyal. I want to take these elites to the Land of Water to carry out the plan to destroy Kirigakure! If I can get Kirigakure to declare war on us after Sunagakure, my chances of annihilating Kirigakure will be much greater!"

"This."

Upon hearing Uchiha Yue's words, Uchiha Fugaku hesitated for a second before turning to ask, "Tsuki-kun, I can understand your need for elite troops to go to Kirigakure. But why are you sending my clan's elite troops to Uchiha Yue's Minato Namikaze? Are you just going to watch Minato Namikaze reap the rewards?"

"Fugaku- kun, isn't it good that Minato Namikaze gets the credit?"

Upon hearing this, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Uchiha Yue's lips, leaving Uchiha Fugaku somewhat puzzled. Then, when Uchiha Yue noticed Uchiha Fugaku's confused look, the smile on Uchiha Yue lips deepened, and then, looking equally bewildered, Uchiha Fugaku heard Uchiha Yue say, "Fugaku- kun, don't you think we need a shield?"

"If our Uchiha Clan were to truly wipe out Kirigakure and achieve an unparalleled feat, don't you think our Uchiha Clan would be in the eye of the storm? Don't you think that at that time, some people would want to test whether our Uchiha Clan has the power to overthrow a ninja village and come looking for trouble with us?"

"Therefore, to avoid that situation from happening, Fugaku, we need to first set up a shield for ourselves."

"And Minato Namikaze..."

At this point, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly noticed the chill in Uchiha Yue's eyes, and then Uchiha Yue's indifferent voice once again reached Uchiha Fugaku's ears.

"And Minato Namikaze is the perfect shield!"
