The Nine-Tails Incident Continues: The Uchiha Coup!

Fugaku Uchiha gave Yu Zhi a deep look. "Don't go out. I'll handle matters outside!"

Before his words had even faded, he strode out without waiting for a response.

"Interesting! He really doesn't want to live, does he?"

Yu Zhi murmured as he watched Fugaku's departing back.

He hadn't expected Fugaku, who had been so indecisive in the original story, to finally make up his mind!

"What do we do now? Wait for the Dungeon to end?" Dugu Bo paid no attention to any of this. He only wanted to safely retrieve the Ninjutsu.

"No rush." Yu Zhi turned and asked, "How did the poison we used on the Uchiha Clan earlier turn out?"

Dugu Bo had not expected that answer and instinctively replied, "We just got here, didn't you tell me to undo it? There's absolutely no problem when I make a move!"

Yu Zhi looked toward the courtyard entrance, his expression meaningful. "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 broken out, and Konoha was at its weakest right now. For Danzo to attack the Uchiha Clan at a time like this was no different from being a complete idiot!

The Uchiha Clan no longer had any trust in Konoha's upper ranks. The situation could explode at any moment.

If this was handled poorly, the Nine-Tails Incident that had only just been suppressed could very well ignite an Uchiha rebellion once more.

So, in the chaos, he could get a look at the famous Pot Kage!

The clear night light spread across the earth. Unlike Konoha Village's violent atmosphere from before, the entire clan grounds were now filled with killing intent!

Shimura Danzō led a group of Root ninjas in formation, facing off against the Uchiha clansmen from afar.

At the center of everyone's gaze lay a barely breathing figure.

Danzo's expression was grim as he snapped, "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 Uchiha territory 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, and his Mangekyō Sharingan snapped open.

The other clansmen froze at the sight, then followed suit. Pair after pair of scarlet Sharingan emerged in succession.

The pressure of ocular power, with the weakest being Two-Tomoe, crashed toward them. Even the battle-hardened Root ninjas tensed and instinctively gripped their Kunai tighter.

Danzo stared at those one-of-a-kind Mangekyō patterns. His expression darkened before intense greed rose within him. Yet he forcibly suppressed his urge to act, intending to find a legitimate excuse before claiming those eyes for himself.

"Fugaku Uchiha, you want a reason? I'll give you one!"

Danzo pointed at the unconscious man on the ground, his tone sinister. "This man was captured by Uchiha Shisui before the Nine-Tails Incident. After interrogation, we confirmed that he is not from our continent, but from the Douluo Continent! Digging deeper, he comes from another world, from an organization called the Tang Sect!"

The Uchiha clansmen were shaken. They immediately thought of Yu Zhi. They had not expected him 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 remaining Uchiha descendants in the future!

"What does it have to do with anything?" Shimura Danzō laughed in anger.

"All Root personnel stationed around the Police Force were killed. Before their deaths, they sent word that two outsiders had infiltrated the clan grounds. I have reason to suspect that the Uchiha Clan has been colluding with people from another continent in secret!"

Fugaku Uchiha could not help cursing Dugu Bo for killing people without cleaning up properly!

Yu Zhi, hidden in the shadows, also shot Dugu Bo a glance.

"I did deal with those ninjas swiftly and cleanly!"

Dugu Bo felt embarrassed. He had not expected those ants in their sixties to have such a trick up their sleeves.

Yu Zhi did not think it was strange. They were ninjas, after all, trained in this sort of thing from childhood! And they were Root, the least human of all ninjas!

If they did not pull a few tricks before dying, it would have been an insult to their identity!

It was normal that Old Poisoner had not noticed!

Still, he had not expected Shimura Danzō to have brought Tang San!

God King Tang! The first time he saw him, he was in such a miserable state!

And the entire continent had seen it!

The whole continent would probably have a path to death now!

And judging from what Shimura Danzō said, he had definitely sent the Yamanaka Clan to search Tang San's brain!

They 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 technique even a God King used!

"Old Poisoner, we might have to get involved!" Yu Zhi stared at Shimura Danzō, knowing that he definitely had the Mysterious Heaven Skill on him!

"Why? Because of that Tang San? So what if he exposed the Douluo Continent? The Sky Screen said this Dungeon was plucked from time, so it won't threaten our continent!"

Dugu Bo had recognized Tang San as well. Of the five people who had come here, aside from Tang San, he either knew them or had heard of them!

Besides, he did not want to interfere in this matter. What if something went wrong with the Ninjutsu?

"Just listen to me, Old Poisoner! That Shimura Danzō has good stuff on him too!"

Yu Zhi fixed his eyes on Danzo, searching for where he might have stored the secret manual.

After pondering it 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! More careful!" Yu Zhi said gravely after a moment's thought.

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, enunciating every word.

"If Elder Shimura doesn't believe me, you can order their arrest!"

"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 clansmen's fury. One clansman with a Three-Tomoe Sharingan stepped forward.

"Clan Head! Tonight, I'll still call you Clan Head! But if you let him search our 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 now, it's only a matter of time before our clan is destroyed!"

"Why not launch a coup right now? After the Nine-Tails Incident, Konoha is at its weakest, while our Uchiha Clan has suffered no losses at all!"

The clansmen all joined in, directing every ounce of their rage at Danzo.

Shimura Danzō inwardly cursed. It looked like the Uchiha really were about to make a move!

He swore that this time, he really had only wanted to find those two people from another continent. He had gotten quite a few good things from Tang San, including a cultivation technique 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 patterns in Fugaku Uchiha's eyes spun continuously, and the aura around him grew ever colder.

"Shimura Danzō, you aren't leaving tonight!"
