Although Uchiha Fugaku patrolled near the outpost,
he knew
that thief might
really never come again.
After so many battles, he was certain that the thief only wanted Sharingan.
But the thief was also somewhat wary of him. Whenever he intervened, he could always save one of his clansmen's eyes.
When he saw the Konoha Ninja delivering the message, Uchiha Fugaku was rather cold.
He did not particularly want to deal with him.
The newcomer was a Chunin in his early thirties.
When he saw the outpost, his brows knitted tightly.
Everything around this outpost had been burned down.
Clearly, several fierce battles had taken place, mostly involving Fire Release.
Uchiha Fugaku slowly came forward to meet him.
"I'm Uchiha Fugaku."
Only then did the Chunin in his thirties get a clear look at Uchiha Fugaku's face, and he was immediately startled.

The Uchiha on the left was the One-Eyed Dragon,
The Uchiha on the right was the One-Eyed Dragon,

Even the few Uchiha lying down to recover were the One-Eyed Dragon.
The messenger shinobi's mouth twitched. Seeing Uchiha Fugaku's dark expression, he hurriedly turned serious.
"Young clan leader Fugaku, it seems you've run into a difficult opponent!
I'm deeply sorry about that."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded slightly.
"Does Nara Headquarters need something?"
The Chunin messenger hurriedly composed himself.
"Young clan leader Fugaku, I'm Chunin He Zijiǔ.
Nara Headquarters sent me to check
