Late January, Year 20 of the Red Calendar, Year 48 of Konoha.
Uchiha Clan Head Uchiha Fugaku has defected...
He was despised by everyone in the Land of Whirlpools. He was already the Bureau Chief, yet he still thought about defecting?
What did he want to do?
And...
He defected at this time. You must know, right now the Land of Whirlpools is...
Thinking of this, everyone's hearts sank. Could something be about to happen?
They immediately intensified the scrutiny of other domestic clans and the ideological education for all clan members.
Especially for the Uchiha clan, the political ideology classes were increased from twice a week to three times a week...
This made the new generation of Uchiha complain bitterly, secretly cursing the former clan head for causing trouble. Why defect for no reason?
You have to admit, how good is the Land of Whirlpools now!
Redism is already unavoidable, and the Land of Whirlpools...
Is the leading force of Redism!
Instead of following the organization properly, should they run off to the ninja village countries?
In any case, most people really could not understand why Uchiha Fugaku would do this...
At the same time, the newly appointed Branch Bureau Chief, Uchiha Obito, personally stepped forward, severely criticizing the former clan head's immoral behavior. He stated that the Uchiha clan would take full responsibility for Uchiha Fugaku's defection, and were determined to capture him and bring him to face the severe punishment of the law. They would absolutely not let any criminal who violated the laws of the Land of Whirlpools escape legal!
In any case, anyone with eyes could see...
This speech was definitely not something the new Bureau Chief Uchiha Obito could have written.
Especially his teacher...
Who guaranteed, patting his chest, that Uchiha Obito had failed language arts back in the day and definitely couldn't have said these words.
So...
"What do you have to say, Bureau Chief Obito?" Muroto Jōmon narrowed his eyes looking at Uchiha Obito before him, saying, "What does that kid Fugaku want to do?"
As Fugaku's senior, Muroto Jōmon still knew Uchiha Fugaku's character.
Like most Uchiha clansmen, apart from a few specific ones, he had a sour face, was expressionless, didn't like to smile, was a bit arrogant, and a bit confident, but...
Without a doubt...
Uchiha Fugaku was just that kind of person, but he loved this country. Otherwise, he wouldn't have always voluntarily worked overtime, patrolling everywhere. You must know...
This was all unpaid work!
Originally, he thought that in a few years, after he retired, he would let Uchiha Fugaku take his position. Now, he never expected...
He defected!!
As for this Uchiha Obito before him, he had also heard about him...
Kind, liked to smile, helpful, but...
Somewhat forgetful, loved to boast, often failed at critical moments...
Why did he become the Branch Bureau Chief?
"What exactly did Fugaku tell you?" The now somewhat aged Muroto Jōmon furrowed his brows and said, "Why did he leave for no reason?"
Was it the pressure of the mortgage, or the pressure of children?
But that couldn't be!
The Uchiha clan brought their inheritance when they came to the Land of Whirlpools, bought houses outright, so there was no mortgage pressure at all. As for children...
If he remembered correctly, although he had a good relationship with that Summer Day Star, they...
Haven't gotten married yet, right?
Young and youthful, where is the pressure?
Sigh... Fugaku's age really isn't that young anymore...
"This..." Uchiha Obito averted his eyes, scratched his head, and said awkwardly, "Defecting..."
He didn't know how to explain it either!
"Does it need a reason?"
Especially since the clan head only told him alone. Now, not knowing the situation clearly, he simply didn't know how to explain...
And that mysterious little box. Although he was very curious about what was inside, he still followed the clan head's order and did not open it. This was the discipline of the Whirlpool Police...
One must clearly distinguish when to have curiosity and when not to!
"It seems you know something about the situation?" Muroto Jōmon looked at Uchiha Obito's expression, pondered for a moment, then, somewhat headache, held his forehead and said, "What exactly are you all trying to do?"
"Forget it, hurry up and prepare. We need to have a meeting later. You can explain it yourself then."
Since His Highness Jun left...
Why have so many troublesome things appeared?
Just...
Where exactly did His Highness Jun go?
...
"You're here?" Black Zetsu looked at Uchiha Fugaku before him and said with a smile, "It seems..."
He narrowed his eyes...
"You still feel some reluctance towards the country of your enemy!"
This won't do...
In their line of work, if one isn't completely immersed in darkness, it's easy for accidents to happen.
Back then, Madara didn't sink deep enough. Otherwise...
Given the stubbornness of the Uchiha clan, how would he listen to others' explanations?
"You must know, that is..."
Just as he was about to sneer a bit more...
"Shut up!" Uchiha Fugaku looked at Black Zetsu with icy eyes and said, "What I want to do is none of your business!"
"..."
Sure enough, the same foul Uchiha temper, just like Madara...
Black Zetsu shrugged indifferently, then pulled out an eyeball from a mass of his black body...
"Since you've awakened the Mangekyō, you should know that the Mangekyō can evolve further, right?"
Better take it slow.
Otherwise, what if this Uchiha Fugaku goes off on his own?
"Eternal Mangekyō..." Uchiha Fugaku narrowed his eyes looking at the single Mangekyō eyeball in Black Zetsu's hand, was stunned for a moment, and murmured, "Father's..."
He never thought his father's eye would be on this Black Zetsu, but...
Why only one left?
"Correct, your father also awakened the Mangekyō." Black Zetsu nodded and said, "As for the other one..."
"It's still in Konoha."
Konoha's defenses are tight; he, Black Zetsu, couldn't retrieve it.
If you want both, you'll have to rely on yourself. But...
Having just one...
Is about the same.
Anyway, the main goal is to retrieve Madara's Rinnegan. As for synthesizing it yourself...
It's too dangerous. Without special chakra, it's simply impossible to succeed. Better not waste it.
"I will retrieve it myself." Upon hearing the word Konoha, a flash of hatred passed through Uchiha Fugaku's eyes. He nodded faintly, took his father's Mangekyō, and said expressionlessly, "I will also settle the hatred with my own hands."
"Suit yourself!" Black Zetsu shrugged and said, "Just diligently complete the organization's tasks."
His main goal is to rescue Mother anyway. As for peace in the ninja world...
Once Mother is out, the ninja world will be peaceful!
"To celebrate your joining, the organization has given the first task..."
Narrowing his eyes looking at Uchiha Fugaku before him, he pulled out a yellow spiral one-eyed mask from a lump of black on his body...
"Destroy that damned legendary ninja sword in Konoha!!"
This mask was bought by him at a festival in the Land of Whirlpools, very expensive!
"So..."
"From this moment on, you are..."
"Uchiha Shin!"
"..."
As the words fell, Uchiha Fugaku immediately narrowed his eyes...
This guy...
Wants to stir up something big!!
But...
Uchiha Fugaku expressionlessly took the mask and said calmly, "Fine."
Then he directly turned around...
He really didn't want to see this Black Zetsu, afraid he couldn't resist attacking immediately!
Now...
Is not the time!
However...
Black Zetsu behind him kept narrowing his eyes, staring at Uchiha Fugaku's back until he disappeared, then murmured, "It seems we still need to be wary of this Uchiha Fugaku!!"
That devouring look in his eyes, he couldn't be mistaken...
This Uchiha really wants...
To kill him!!!
