So Sasuke Uchiha told him about what had happened that afternoon.
Itachi Uchiha was somewhat speechless after hearing it. He was also one of the few who knew Naruto's identity.
"Don't lose heart. You're from the Uchiha clan. Just win next time," Itachi Uchiha comforted him.
Inside the room, Uchiha Fuyue listened to the exchange between the two brothers outside and smiled faintly.
Mikoto quickly finished preparing the meal, and the family began to eat.
Uchiha Fuyue and Itachi Uchiha were both reserved people, so neither spoke during dinner.
Only Sasuke happily shared his experiences from the day with them.
Rarely, Uchiha Fuyue did not keep a stern face today.
Night.
[Threefold Reversal: Open]
Naruto left his home, his body turning into a cloud of smoke as he flew into the sky.
At the third level, his entire body became qi—a true immortal walking the earth.
After finding the right direction, he flew toward the Uchiha clan.
Upon arriving, Naruto briefly sensed the area and was somewhat surprised.
They're even stronger than I imagined.
Naruto was genuinely surprised. In the original story, the Uchiha clan had died in such a humiliating manner.
So they had not seemed particularly formidable. What had truly been powerful were their Mangekyō Sharingan.
But only after arriving here did he realize that the Uchiha clan was somewhat stronger than he had imagined.
There were several elite jonin among them.
And with the boost of the Sharingan, they were far stronger than ordinary elite jonin.
After sensing the area, he arrived at the nearest location.
Below him stood a luxurious estate.
It was where the Uchiha clan's Great Elder lived.
In the sky, Naruto frowned slightly.
How am I supposed to get close to this guy?
Naruto immediately felt a headache coming on.
He would not underestimate these experts.
He thought for a long time but could not come up with a good method.
Since there was no way, he would do it from afar.
Naruto stretched out his right hand, and a small cluster of blue qi appeared in his palm.
The blue cluster fell downward.
Below, the Great Elder of the Uchiha clan had already gone to sleep.
The cluster was tiny and not an attack, so he did not sense any danger.
The cluster passed through the roof and accurately entered the Great Elder's head.
The resting Great Elder immediately had a dream.
A dream about the Uchiha clan's future.
Naruto turned and left. He did not know who the higher-ups were, but those with great strength were surely high-ranking members. In the Uchiha clan, strength was king.
So, among those he sensed, he went to each of the powerful elite jonin and gave them a gift.
Memories refined with his two fists.
Memories concerning the Uchiha clan.
Naturally, they were memories of Danzo, the Third Hokage, and Itachi Uchiha plotting together to slaughter the Uchiha clan.
Obito's involvement was also included, even his deal with the Third Hokage.
After doing all that, Naruto vanished without a sound.
At Uchiha Fugaku's home.
While resting, Fuyue had a nightmare. He was killed by his own son.
In the end, his eldest son died at the hands of his younger son. After learning the truth, the younger son caused havoc at the Five Kage Summit in pursuit of revenge and was killed by the Five Kage.
Uchiha Fugaku sat up in a cold sweat.
The movement woke Mikoto beside him.
"What's wrong?"
In the darkness, Mikoto could not see her husband's expression.
"Nothing. I had a nightmare."
Uchiha Fugaku's face was grim. The memories from the dream were now vividly surfacing in his mind.
As someone with the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Fuyue also knew very well that he had not been caught in a genjutsu.
Could it really have been a precognitive dream?
For a moment, Uchiha Fuyue had completely lost the desire to sleep.
At the same time, the others also woke from their dreams. Their first reaction was to check whether they had fallen under a genjutsu.
The people Naruto had chosen all possessed at least the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
So they quickly confirmed that they had not been caught in a genjutsu.
The memories in their minds were incredibly clear.
Their expressions immediately turned grave.
The details were remarkably complete.
"Itachi Uchiha."
They all remembered that name at the same time.
Their expressions shifted uncertainly, especially that of the Uchiha clan's Great Elder.
"The Uchiha clan being exterminated? How is that possible? My Uchiha clan has been passed down for a thousand years. How could we possibly be exterminated?"
What the Great Elder found most difficult to accept was that the Uchiha clan had been exterminated by its own people.
His expression immediately turned ugly.
After thinking it over, he promptly summoned his trusted subordinates. They were all members of the Uchiha clan's hardline faction.
Whatever happened within the Uchiha clan was none of Naruto's concern. After doing all this, he returned to his room.
While Naruto slept soundly, something major happened within the Uchiha clan.
The hardliners of the Uchiha clan gained the upper hand and suppressed the clan head.
And this time, Uchiha Fuyue's expression was uncertain, and he did not put up much resistance.
Power within the Uchiha clan once again fell into the hands of the Great Elder.
The next day, the village atmosphere became tense once more.
The Uchiha clan members patrolling the streets all wore sour expressions.
Naruto noticed the shift in atmosphere and was very satisfied.
"Sure enough, it works well. This is getting interesting. Now no one should be paying attention to me."
Meanwhile, on the Third Hokage's side.
"Itachi, what exactly is going on?" The Third Hokage frowned deeply.
Below him, Itachi Uchiha felt confused. He did not know what was happening either. Things had suddenly become like this.
Still, he truthfully explained the situation within the clan.
"Your father compromised?" The Third Hokage found it hard to believe.
Fuyue's personality could be called indecisive if one wanted to be kind, or weak and incompetent if one did not.
Moreover, Uchiha Fuyue belonged to the peace faction. He could not understand why he had suddenly changed his mind.
"Did your father meet with anyone yesterday?"
"No. Father stayed at home all day yesterday."
"Strange. How did he persuade those people?"
Both of them found it strange.
Meanwhile, another gathering was held within the Uchiha clan.
This time, everyone agreed to rebel.
After the others withdrew.
Only five people remained in the ancestral hall.
Uchiha Fugaku, the Great Elder, and three elite jonin.
Uchiha Daohuo, Uchiha Shui, and Uchiha Quanmu.
All three possessed the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and were very powerful.
"Fugaku, you had that dream too, didn't you? What do you think?"
The Great Elder was an old fox. Seeing the shift in the others' attitudes, he understood that they had likely dreamed of the same scene as he had.
Especially when he had gone to seize power today, Fugaku had not resisted.
Uchiha Fuyue's attitude revealed many things.
"Perhaps someone is trying to drive a wedge between us."
Uchiha Fuyue fell somewhat silent.
"Heh, Clan Head, don't dodge the issue." Uchiha Daohuo's expression turned cold.
"That's right. We only have one question: has the Clan Head already awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan?"
Uchiha Shui's expression turned cold. His Three-Tomoe Sharingan activated as he stared directly at Uchiha Fuyue.
Being questioned like this, his expression as clan head was extremely ugly, yet he was left speechless.
At the same time, he was confused. No one should have known that he had awakened the Sharingan. He himself had never revealed it.
Even his wife did not know that he possessed the Mangekyō.
How did that mysterious person know?
