Bieshu Feifan had thought Uchiha Fugaku and the other two simply didn't want to play with him.
Watching the three of them flee, Bieshu Feifan spat.
With the way Uchiha Fugaku handled people and situations, it was no wonder he could lead an entire clan into its grave.
Just as Bieshu Feifan was considering what to do next,
