Almost, in an instant.
Following Lord Jin's command, the entire Uchiha clan began to operate like a precise machine.
Uchiha Hatchodai and the elders, including Setsuna, imdiately gathered two-thirds of the Uchiha Jonin. They then concealed themselves and headed towards the Root Base.
Because of Uchiha Jin's ascension and thods, the Root Base was no longer a secret to the current Uchiha.
Then.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Root Base, they completely hid their presence and slowly waited for Uchiha Jin's signal flare.
anwhile, on the other side.
Uchiha Amano, with the remaining Uchiha Jonin, as well as many Chunin and Genin, also began to act, completely surrounding the entire Uchiha clan's district, making it impenetrable.
Each person was given two hundred explosive tags. These were also procured by Uchiha Jin from outside, spending almost two-thirds of the Radical Faction's funds during this period.
Fugaku, however, went to the Hokage Building alone!
Uchiha Jin stood alone at the entrance of the clan compound, silently awaiting Fugaku's results. Only if Fugaku succeeded would he choose to step into the trap Danzo had set... Ten minutes later.
Fugaku arrived at the Hokage Office, but Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was utterly indifferent.
Clearly.
Because Fugaku was too useless, had lost his clan leader authority, and could not be brought under control... Hiruzen couldn't even bother to keep up the act when facing Fugaku.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat steadily behind his desk, his Hokage hat slightly lowered. As he was smoking, the swirling smoke obscured his face.
He didn't even lift an eyelid for Fugaku.
"What is it?"
His tone was calm, uncaring.
And, in response.
Fugaku, who had long seen through Hiruzen Sarutobi's true nature, naturally didn't take it to heart.
He didn't bother with pleasantries and directly said, "Call Shisui and Itachi back!"
"Impossible, I can't do that!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly, "They are not in the Village."
Fugaku's expression remained normal, he rely said, "Regarding Danzo's invitation to Lord Jin, if Shisui and Itachi are not sent back, then Lord Jin will not attend the appointnt. Even if you kill Lord Jin's parents, it will be useless!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was instantly stunned.
He looked up at Fugaku for the first ti: "You've also defected to Uchiha Jin?"
"Yes, you guessed right!" Fugaku nodded, his eyes very calm: "Send them back."
"Even if they are traitors, the Uchiha do not allow internal strife and killing."
"We can contend with you within conventional limits, and even if you break ties, we are willing to follow your rules."
"But, similarly!"
"Don't go too far, don't force us Uchiha down that last path!"
"Although we want to take over a relatively clean Konoha, and are therefore willing to compete with you Konoha on a small scale, we are not willing to expand the scope of the conflict to the entire Konoha."
"But if you think this ans we Uchiha are weak, or that we Uchiha lack the capability, then you Konoha Leadership are truly gravely mistaken."
Fugaku's face was cold, his tone full of nace.
Imdiately after.
Without any further nonsense, he directly revealed his Mangekyo.
This... was an ability he had hidden for many years, one that no one knew about!
anwhile, on the other side.
Hiruzen Sarutobi heard these threatening words and was instantly stunned, a hint of bewildernt even appearing in his eyes.
Was this still Fugaku—that weakling?
However, soon after.
Before he could fully react, he saw Fugaku's Mangekyo.
He was instantly dumbfounded.
He gasped, his voice becoming incredibly horrified.
"Mangekyo?!"
"You've also awakened the Mangekyo?"
"This..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi trembled all over.
His face instantly turned ashen, and his body couldn't help but shiver slightly. Clearly, Fugaku's Mangekyo had thoroughly frightened him.
No wonder!
Previously, just one Mangekyo user, Uchiha Jin, had pushed the Konoha Leadership to such a degree. Now, Fugaku also had a Mangekyo, which completely checkmated him.
Especially considering that if they truly broke ties with the Uchiha, the Village would face two Mangekyo powerhouses and the assault of the entire Uchiha clan. Could the current Village really withstand it?
Even if they could destroy the Uchiha, how great a price would the Village have to pay?
Could a crippled Konoha withstand other ninja Villages?
Yes!
Just as Uchiha Jin dared not easily start a war, Hiruzen Sarutobi had the sa concerns.
Finally, after a long period of thought, he sighed helplessly.
He tapped on the desk, and an Anbu appeared.
"Hokage-sama!"
"Have Shisui and Itachi return imdiately. Tell them to ignore everything else."
Imdiately after.
The Anbu left without another word.
Twenty minutes later.
Shisui and Itachi, who were setting up defenses in the Forest of Death, were stunned upon receiving Hiruzen Sarutobi's order. Danzo couldn't help but roar, "Has that bastard Hiruzen gone mad? Why is he calling Shisui and Itachi back at a ti like this?"
"Shisui, Itachi!"
"Neither of you is allowed to leave!"
Danzo was furious, veins popping out.
Nonsense!
This was the most crucial mont to ambush Uchiha Jin, so he naturally didn't want Shisui and Itachi to be called away.
But, unfortunately.
Shisui and Itachi were not Danzo's subordinates; they served Hiruzen Sarutobi!
Now that Hiruzen Sarutobi had given a command, they naturally wouldn't listen to Danzo. They rely bowed apologetically and rushed to the Hokage Office.
Imdiately after.
The mont they saw Fugaku, their expressions beca extrely grim.
But, unfortunately.
Before either of them could speak, they saw Fugaku open his eyes, revealing his unique Mangekyo.
"Mangekyo?"
"Fugaku-clan leader, this..."
Shisui couldn't help but speak, instinctively sensing trouble.
However, unfortunately.
Because they were in the Hokage Office, Shisui had no defenses against Fugaku.
'Niwaka-tsu-hi!'
This was Fugaku's right eye dōjutsu, similar in function to his left eye, also a special ti-based dōjutsu.
Its ability was even simpler!
The Izanagi Foresight of the left eye predicted by anchoring a point in ti; his right eye dōjutsu, however, was purely for delay, slowing down the flow of ti within a certain range by ten, a hundred, or even a thousand tis... Within this space, only Fugaku could move normally!
Of course.
The current Fugaku's ability was quite ordinary, only able to slow down the flow of ti by twenty tis.
But, it was enough!
Even if Shisui tried his best to resist, his current speed was... too slow in front of Fugaku!
Even though he was Shisui the Teleporter, in front of Fugaku at this mont, he seed to be moving in slow motion.
