Fugaku Uchiha gave Yu Zhi a deep look. "You stay here. I'll handle things outside!"
Before he finished speaking, he strode out without waiting for a response.
"Interesting. He really doesn't want to live, does he?"
Yu Zhi muttered softly as he watched Fugaku leave.
He hadn't expected Fugaku, who had wavered so much in the original story, to finally make up his mind now.
"What do we do now? Wait for the Dungeon to end?" Dugu Bo paid no attention to any of this. He only wanted to retrieve his Ninjutsu safely.
"No rush." Yu Zhi turned and asked, "How are the toxins we used on the Uchiha dealt with earlier?"
Dugu Bo hadn't expected that answer and replied reflexively, "We just got here, and didn't you have me undo it? There was absolutely no problem with my work!"
Yu Zhi looked toward the courtyard outside, his expression meaningful. "Then let's go see what happens. The Nine-Tails has already been moved away, anyway. It won't be long before it's sealed!"
The Nine-Tails Incident had just occurred, and Konoha was at its weakest. For Danzo to strike at the Uchiha Clan now was no different from being a complete idiot!
The Uchiha had long since lost all trust in Konoha's higher-ups. The situation could erupt at any moment.
If this was mishandled, the Nine-Tails Incident that had only just subsided might very well ignite an Uchiha rebellion once more.
And in the chaos, he could take a look at the famed Pot Kage!
Pale moonlight spread across the earth. Unlike the Konoha Village that had been filled with violent tension moments ago, the entire clan grounds now brimmed with killing intent!
Shimura Danzō led a formation of Root Ninja, facing the Uchiha from afar.
At the center of everyone's gaze lay a figure barely clinging to life.
Danzo's face was grim as he barked, "Fugaku Uchiha, is your Uchiha Clan planning to rebel?"
He had thought the Uchiha Clan head before him would yield as he had in the past! Yet today, the other man's attitude was completely different.
"Danzo, you brought people into the Uchiha grounds without cause. If you cannot give us a reasonable explanation today, don't even think about leaving safely!"
Boom!
A vast aura erupted from Fugaku's body as his Mangekyō Sharingan opened.
The other clan members froze for a moment, then followed suit. One pair after another of scarlet Sharingan appeared.
The pressure of at least Two-Tomoe eye power surged toward them. Even the battle-hardened Root Ninja felt their hearts tighten as they instinctively gripped their Kunai.
Danzo stared at the one-of-a-kind Mangekyō pattern. His expression first darkened, then filled with intense greed. Still, he forcibly restrained the urge to act, intending to find a legitimate excuse before claiming those eyes for himself.
"Fugaku Uchiha, you wanted a reason? I'll give you one!"
Danzo pointed at the unconscious man on the ground, his voice sinister. "Before the Nine-Tails Incident, this man was captured by Uchiha Shisui. Interrogation revealed that he is not from our continent, but from the Douluo Continent! Digging deeper, we found that he comes from another world, from an organization called the Tang Sect!"
The Uchiha Clan members were shaken as they immediately thought of Yu Zhi. They had never expected their secret to be exposed.
Fugaku Uchiha frowned. "And what does that have to do with anything?"
He had not expected one of Yu Zhi's companions to be captured either, but he would never hand Yu Zhi over!
Yu Zhi was one of the few Uchiha survivors of the future!
"What does it have to do with anything?" Shimura Danzō laughed in anger.
"All Root personnel stationed around the security division were killed. Before they died, they sent word that two outsiders had infiltrated the clan grounds. I have every reason to suspect that the Uchiha Clan has secretly colluded with people from another continent!"
Fugaku Uchiha could not help cursing Dugu Bo inwardly for failing to kill everyone cleanly!
Hidden in the shadows, Yu Zhi also shot Dugu Bo a glance.
"I did deal with those Ninja cleanly and efficiently!"
Dugu Bo felt embarrassed. He had not expected those ants in their sixties to have a trick like that.
Yu Zhi did not find it strange at all. Those were Ninja trained in this sort of thing since childhood! And Root Ninja at that, the least human of all Ninja!
If they did not pull a few tricks before dying, they would be betraying their identities!
It was normal that Old Poisoner had failed to notice.
Still, he had not expected Shimura Danzō to have brought Tang San!
God King Tang! The first time he saw him, he was actually in such a miserable state!
And the entire continent had seen it!
The whole continent would probably have a death wish now!
And from what Shimura Danzō had said, he had definitely sent the Yamanaka Clan to search Tang San's mind!
He had even dug up the Tang Sect! That was digging deep enough!
Yu Zhi's eyes lit up at the thought. Then he must have obtained the Mysterious Heaven Skill too!
This was a cultivation method even a God King used!
"Old Poisoner, we may need to interfere!" Yu Zhi looked at Shimura Danzō, knowing that bastard definitely had the Mysterious Heaven Skill on him!
"Why? Because of Tang San? So what if he exposed the Douluo Continent? The Sky Screen said this Dungeon was extracted from time. It won't pose any threat to our continent!"
Dugu Bo recognized Tang San as well. Of the five people who had come here, aside from Tang San, he either knew them personally or had heard of them!
Besides, he did not really want to interfere. What if something went wrong with the Ninjutsu?
"Just listen to me, Old Poisoner! Shimura Danzō has good stuff on him too!"
Yu Zhi fixed his gaze on Danzo, searching for where he might be keeping the manual.
After thinking for a moment, Dugu Bo chose to trust Yu Zhi. After all, none of Yu Zhi's information had ever been wrong!
"Same as before?"
"Slower this time! And more careful!" Yu Zhi said in a low voice after pondering for a moment.
Back with Fugaku Uchiha, the standoff continued.
"Those two poisoned every member of our Uchiha Clan unconscious! They even extorted our inheritance from us!" Fugaku Uchiha stared at Danzo, speaking each word distinctly.
"If Elder Shimura does not believe me, you may order their capture!"
"Fugaku! Do you take me for a fool?" Shimura Danzō said coldly. "Either hand over those two, or let us search the Uchiha Clan Grounds!"
That demand completely ignited the Uchiha's fury. One clan member with a Three-Tomoe Sharingan stepped forward.
"Clan Head! I'll still call you Clan Head tonight! But if you let him search the clan grounds, we would rather have the entire clan defect! You know why!"
"That's right, Clan Head! The Nine-Tails Incident has already happened. If we don't change things now, it's only a matter of time before our clan is destroyed!"
"Why not launch a coup right now? Konoha is at its weakest after the Nine-Tails Incident, while our Uchiha have suffered no losses at all!"
The clan members echoed one another, their rage all directed at Danzo.
Shimura Danzō inwardly cursed. The Uchiha really seemed ready to act!
He swore that this time, he truly only wanted to find those two people from another continent. He had gained quite a few good things from Tang San, including a cultivation method that could improve one's innate talent!
Even someone so weak had such good things. Wouldn't those two stronger people have even more treasures?
As for threatening Fugaku Uchiha, well, he was already here!
If he really forced the Uchiha Clan into rebellion at such a critical moment, Hiruzen would tear him apart alive!
The Mangekyō pattern in Fugaku Uchiha's eyes spun without pause, and the aura around him grew increasingly frigid.
"Shimura Danzō, you aren't leaving tonight!"
