You may have heard the saying, wounded beast is more dangerous.
The current Fugaku is like a wounded beast.
He sat in the dimly lit study, eyes slightly closed, extending his perception to its maximum. At this mont, an exceptionally powerful Chakra was approaching his residence.
"The amount of Chakra from the approaching person is more than ten tis mine?"
Fugaku's muscles instantly tensed. This level of Chakra is extrely rare, even among Kage-level ninja. What shocked him even more was that this Chakra contained a pure Yin Release characteristic.
"This quality of Yin Release. Could he also have awakened the Mangekyo? But why is the Yang Release Chakra within him so active?"
His fingers tightened slightly, knuckles turning white.
Who exactly was the person approaching?
The door was gently pushed open.
"Clan head, you haven't been to the Hokage building for three days straight, I was a bit worried, so I ca to check on you."
A familiar voice sounded, and Fugaku's taut nerves relaxed slightly, but then he beca vigilant again.
His perception couldn't be wrong. Shun's Chakra far surpassed that of an ordinary ninja, even exceeding Kage-level by many tis.
Recalling past events, he had so suspicions. Shun's strength had grown too quickly and he had hidden it so deeply, there must be so secret.
Fugaku slowly opened his eyes, and although his vision was blurry, he still looked directly in Shun's direction.
"Shun, my eyes are a bit uncomfortable, so I wanted to rest for a few days."
Shun bowed respectfully and said, "Clan head, I've thought of so thods that might be able to cure your eyes."
Fugaku's pupils constricted slightly, and his fingers quietly clenched. "What thods do you have?"
...
Shun didn't answer directly, but first glanced at Itachi, who was hiding by the kitchen door.
Fugaku noticed his gaze and said indifferently, "Itachi, you go to the kitchen first."
Itachi nodded obediently and quickly left with the vegetable basket, but soon sneaked back, hiding around the corridor corner to eavesdrop.
Shun withdrew his gaze and whispered, "I'll first transplant a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan to the clan head to solve the blindness problem. Then, I'll take your Mangekyo to clone. Once the cloning is successful, you'll be able to transplant back a complete Mangekyo."
Fugaku was silent for a mont. As the Fourth Hokage, he naturally knew that Shun and Tsunade had been researching cloning technology. But this technology had only just begun and was far from mature.
Fugaku frowned slightly and asked, "How long will you need?"
"Approximately eight to nine years."
Fugaku's brows furrowed deeply. "That's too long, I can't wait."
He slowly stood up, and although his vision was blurry, his aura remained sharp.
"Shun, are you hiding so secret from ?"
Shun's body stiffened slightly.
Fugaku's voice grew cold. "Did you also awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
The air seed to freeze for a mont, suddenly becoming quiet.
Shun exhaled and nodded gently. "Yes, I just awakened it a few days ago."
Fugaku's lips curved slightly, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, and he sighed inwardly, 'Sure enough, he still has many secrets.'
He took a step forward, his voice low and dangerous. "Shun, I have always treated you well. Do you have any other thods to cure my eyes?"
Shun hesitated for a mont and said, "Clan head, do you still rember Danzo's Wood Release arm?"
Fugaku's pupils suddenly constricted. "Are you talking about Hashirama cells?"
Shun nodded. "Hashirama cells possess powerful vitality and can repair bodily damage, even increasing Chakra volu. But the side effects are great, they will devour and assimilate the host cells, and once out of control, the person will turn into a tree."
He paused for a mont and continued, "However, the Uchiha's Sharingan can, to a certain extent, suppress the side effects of Hashirama cells, so if the clan head injects a small amount of Hashirama cells, it should be able to repair his eyes."
Fugaku's mind instantly flashed with that enormous amount of Chakra and that unusually active Yang Release Chakra. He imdiately deduced that Shun must have injected Hashirama cells.
But being cautious as he always was, he still wanted to confirm. "Shun, have you injected Hashirama cells?"
Shun shook his head and denied, "Clan head, I have not injected hashirama cells."
Not getting the answer he wanted, Fugaku's gaze instantly turned cold, and he made a decision in his heart: He is lying.
He slowly sat back in his chair, his voice icy. "Shun, I'm a bit tired, you should go back first."
Shun bowed respectfully and said, "Then, clan head, I'll take my leave."
The footsteps faded, but Fugaku's fists clenched tighter and tighter.
"Itachi, co out, he's gone far away."
Itachi erged from the corridor corner, cautiously approaching his father.
"Father, are you alright?"
Fugaku didn't answer, but instead asked, "Itachi, what do you think of Shun?"
Itachi thought for a mont and said, "Uncle Shun is a good person."
Fugaku sneered and warned, "Itachi, people are complex."
He slowly stood up, his tall figure casting a shadow in the room.
"Shun is a very secretive person. Two months ago, he orchestrated Danzo's death and seized a portion of Hashirama cells from Root."
Itachi's pupils constricted slightly.
Fugaku continued, "Now, his Chakra volu is ten tis mine, and his Yang Release Chakra is unusually active. This perfectly matches the characteristics of Hashirama's Chakra, but he vehently denies it. And he secretly researched Hashirama cells for over two months and only now cos to tell ."
He looked down at Itachi, his voice low and cold. "So, Shun is very selfish."
Itachi was silent for a mont, then nodded. "Father, I rember."
Fugaku reached out and gently took Itachi's small hand.
"Itachi, you are still too naive." His voice carried a certain determination.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the Root base to witness the dark side of this world."
Itachi looked up at his father's blurry yet still sharp eyes and slowly nodded.
The two, one after another, disappeared into the night.
