Mingyou let out a scornful laugh, glaring at Danzo with contempt written all over his face.
Shisui's Mangekyō was like a peerless blade capable of slicing through iron, yet Danzo had used it like a poker.
This was not surprising. In the original story, Danzo had used Shisui's eye to control Mifune, only for Ao's Byakugan to detect it.
Not to mention that Mingyou's strength had greatly increased and he had entered the ranks of Kage-level powerhouses. How could Danzo possibly control him so easily?
"Third Squad, Fourth Squad, return to position! Primary objective: kill Uchiha Mingyou!!"
As Danzo shouted, he pulled two black spheres from his robe and hurled them hard toward Mingyou.
Bang! Bang!
Two deafening explosions rang out, and thick, choking smoke rose throughout the area.
After dodging the blast wave, Mingyou shot forward, intending to take Danzo's life.
But when Mingyou emerged from the smoke, he discovered that Danzo had vanished without a trace through some unknown method.
At that moment, all the remaining Root members rushed toward Mingyou and unleashed their strongest attacks.
"Follow Lord Danzo's orders! Kill Uchiha Mingyou!!"
"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!!"
"Water Release: Water Surge!!"
"Lightning Release: Earth Run!!"
For a moment, a dazzling barrage of ninjutsu rained down upon Mingyou.
Unfortunately, the space before Mingyou distorted, and his body slipped into the void and vanished.
"Mingyou, wait for me. I'll save you right away."
Fugaku had already been forced back again and again by dozens of jonin, nearly reaching the point of Chakra exhaustion.
For Fugaku, who had yet to enter the Kage level, activating the Mangekyō Sharingan and using Susanoo was already an enormous burden on his body.
With so many jonin attacking him at once, it was easy to imagine the immense pressure Fugaku was under. At this point, he could no longer maintain Susanoo.
Yet even so, seeing his son in danger, he still charged resolutely toward the dozens of Root ninja.
The next second, space rippled and distorted, and a hand gently rested on Fugaku's shoulder.
"Dad, there's no need to go. I'm fine."
Fugaku turned around. Once he saw Mingyou was safe and sound, his tightly furrowed brow finally relaxed.
"Mingyou. So you're all right. That's wonderful."
Mingyou smiled. "Dad, we don't need to keep tangling with them. Let's hurry and join up with the clan."
As he spoke, Mingyou did not wait for Fugaku's response before pulling him into the Kamui Dimension.
At the same time, inside the Anbu training camp, shrill alarm bells rang out. Thousands of Anbu members swiftly climbed out of bed, got dressed, and rushed toward the plaza to assemble.
"Squad leaders, report your numbers!!"
A silver-haired man stood in the center of the plaza, urging them on with a stern expression.
A closer look revealed that he wore his ninja forehead protector in an unusual manner, completely covering his left eye. It was Kakashi Hatake.
He was now serving in the important position of Anbu captain.
"Report! All thirty members of Fifth Squad are assembled."
"Report! All thirty members of Sixth Squad are assembled."
"Report! All thirty members of Seventh Squad are assembled."
Kakashi swept his gaze across everyone present and nodded slightly.
"Good. Listen carefully."
"According to the latest intelligence, the Uchiha Clan has rebelled in its entirety."
"By order of the Third Hokage, we are to proceed to the Uchiha Compound and pursue them with all our strength."
"Konoha's other security forces have already headed outside the village to intercept them. We must fully cooperate with their operation."
"All personnel, move out!!"
"Yes, Captain!!" Thousands of Anbu members shouted in unison, then raced toward the Uchiha Compound under the leadership of their squad captains.
Elsewhere, Fugaku stood inside the Kamui Dimension, staring around at this strange place in utter shock.
"Mingyou, what is this place?"
Mingyou smiled faintly. "Dad, this is a space unique to my Sharingan. Only I can control it."
It was worth mentioning that the system truly was incredibly powerful.
Although this space was identical to Obito's Kamui Dimension, filled everywhere with crystal coffins, it had no connection whatsoever to Obito's Kamui Dimension.
That was because this space was an entirely new copy, belonging solely to Mingyou.
"Mingyou, the Great Elder and the others should be inside the Uchiha Clan's secret passage now."
"I foresaw long ago that the Uchiha would suffer this disaster, so I had people excavate it in advance."
After surveying the surroundings for a moment, Fugaku reminded Mingyou.
"I understand."
Mingyou nodded, moving through the Uchiha Compound toward the secret passage two kilometers away from the shrine.
Soon, Mingyou appeared atop the roof of a courtyard.
Looking down, he saw a large number of Root ninja sealing off the entire courtyard so tightly that not even water could pass through.
This had originally been the place where the Uchiha Clan held its council meetings. Now, most of the building had collapsed, and amid the piles of broken bricks and shattered tiles on the ground was an entrance resembling a cellar.
Over a hundred Root ninja paced around the cellar entrance, yet none dared to go down.
"Oh? Now this is interesting."
Mingyou smiled, guessing that Itachi was most likely guarding the place below.
With that guy standing guard, any Root member who went down would probably lose his life immediately.
Sure enough, when the space before Mingyou rippled and he reappeared beneath the cellar, he saw Itachi holding a Ninja Tachi and standing silently below the entrance.
Beside Itachi lay the corpses of quite a few Root members, as though they had died only moments ago.
"Is this Madara's ability?"
"Mingyou, why can you use his ability?"
Seeing Mingyou emerge from the void, Itachi's expression changed drastically in shock.
Sharingan abilities involving space-time were extremely rare. Until now, only the Masked Man had ever used such an ability.
Moreover, judging from the nature of the spatial distortion, Mingyou was undoubtedly using the same ninjutsu as the Masked Man.
"Madara? Itachi, you've got it wrong. That guy isn't Uchiha Madara at all. He's merely a rogue ninja from the Uchiha Clan."
Mingyou shook his head with a smile. Obito might have hidden himself well behind that mask and successfully impersonated Madara before others.
But Mingyou had read the original story. He knew that the Masked Man was Uchiha Obito.
"Are you telling the truth?" Itachi was once again shaken by Mingyou's words, but Mingyou's expression did not seem false.
"Mingyou, then why can you use that guy's ability?"
Mingyou had no intention of hiding it and answered truthfully, "My ability is replication."
"Not only did I replicate that guy's Kamui, I also replicated your Amaterasu."
