Just when Rengoku was forcefully brainwashing Itachi using Izanami, Obito also relied on Kamui to arrive at the Police Force building.
Ever since Shisui's death, the Uchiha clan had actually been gradually losing control over the Police Force.
The village, under various reasons and excuses, had reduced the number of personnel in the Police Force.
Itachi, at that time, was also speaking in favor of the village.
Uchiha Fugaku believed that was Itachi's method of gaining the village's trust, and was also a gradual concession.
Currently, aside from this Police Force building, there were not many people left in the Police Force.
At this moment, everything was deathly still. When Obito arrived at the Police Force, the lights were still on.
'I wonder how many Sharingan I can obtain tonight?'
Obito chuckled lightly and, with a flash, entered the Police Force building.
But as soon as he entered the building, he found it completely empty.
Not to mention people, there wasn't even a ghost.
"Hm? Where did the Uchiha people go?", Obito was full of confusion. According to the Uchiha's preparations, the coup shouldn't be initiated so soon.
He searched from top to bottom, and indeed found that the Uchiha people had all disappeared.
Instead, Obito became somewhat alert.
This time, Itachi invited him to eliminate the Uchiha clan. He had considered whether it was a trap set up against him.
After all, Itachi's logic regarding this matter was a bit abnormal from the start.
In fact, it was Rengoku who revealed Obito's ability to the clansmen.
After learning Obito's ability, Rinjin believed that in narrow or complex terrains, the clansmen would easily suffer losses, so he completely evacuated everyone from the Police Force building.
Although everyone stationed here were Fugaku's people, but at this critical moment, Rinjin only needed to tell them that an enemy with space-time ninjutsu had infiltrated.
These clansmen weren't foolish enough to joke around with their lives.
Obito cautiously circled around twice. Just as he was searching, he suddenly covered his eye.
His Kamui eye suddenly throbbed, as if it had suffered some damage.
Obito's vision also blurred for a moment, then returned to normal.
'What's going on?'
'Is there something wrong with my eye?'
Obito didn't know whether this sudden feeling was due to a problem with his own eye. He immediately hesitated.
Obito had already used his Mangekyō Sharingan to control Yagura two years ago.
On the Kirigakure side, he had continued the previous generation's Bloody Mist plan.
Currently, on the Kirigakure side, almost all of the Kekkei Genkai users had been eradicated. As long as you had a Kekkei Genkai, that was original sin.
Kirigakure was extremely chaotic, and only the perfect Jinchūriki Yagura could suppress it.
But Obito needed to consume a large amount of pupil power to control Yagura.
After experiencing the special sensation just now in his eye, Obito quickly sensed, and confirmed that Yagura was still under his control.
He also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, as soon as Obito arrived at the plaza outside the Police Force building, the situation suddenly changed.
Whoosh!
Just as he was about to leave and find Itachi first, several signal flares and illumination rounds were consecutively fired into the sky.
Several large floodlights lit up near the Police Force.
They shone directly on Obito's figure with his tiger-skin mask, revealing him clearly.
"FIRE!"
A large number of shuriken shot toward Obito.
"Hmph!"
Obito coldly snorted, 'So it really was a trap targeting me.'
Obito walked casually through the rain of Uchiha hidden weapons.
All the shuriken or kunai passed straight through Obito's body, falling directly to the ground.
The remaining guards of the Police Force had been skeptical earlier, but now they were certain everything Rinjin said was true.
All the shuriken had passed through the enemy's body.
The others didn't dare relax and began executing the previously set battle plan.
Rinjin's mission was, first, to ensure the safety of the clansmen. Second, to stall this enemy here.
If the enemy wanted to leave, then let him try to leave.
Earlier, they had already fired the signal flares. Whether it was the Great Elder, Clan Head, or the Four Elders, they had all received the alert.
At this point, the only thing that mattered was making sure no clansmen got hurt.
Rinjin recalled the intel Elder Rengoku had given him. With a wave of his hand, five skilled Uchiha drew their weapons alongside him.
———
At the same time as Rinjin fired the signal flares, Fugaku had just escorted the Great Elder to the gate.
When Fugaku saw the signal flares rise from the direction of the Police Force building, his face changed.
But then, a pair of hands suddenly grabbed his shoulders and blocked his way forward.
"Fugaku, you'd better stay here," The Great Elder's voice wasn't loud, but his eyes were extremely bright.
"Great Elder, what do you mean?", Fugaku looked at his clan uncle in shock.
The Great Elder waved his hand, and Makumi appeared nearby with several clansmen.
All the clansmen with Makumi had been disarmed. These were the ones on night patrol, Fugaku's direct subordinates.
"Clan Head, Clan Head—"
"Clan Head, we were attacked by Makumi…"
"Clan Head, you must seek justice for us."
These clansmen were all completely confused. They didn't understand why their own clansmen had suddenly attacked them.
Seeing Fugaku, they all rushed to complain one after another.
"Great Elder, are you trying to betray the clan?", Fugaku shouted coldly.
Although the Great Elder often disagreed with him politically, the Great Elder's loyalty to the Uchiha clan was absolute.
But this scene completely confused him, he had no idea what the Great Elder was trying to do.
Fugaku himself was a strong Mangekyō Sharingan user. Right now, he wasn't panicked, he just wanted to understand the Great Elder's intent.
The Great Elder shouted sternly, "FUGAKU! Do you know that your son Uchiha Itachi has already betrayed the clan?"
"He reported our upcoming coup to Konoha, and tonight he's already acting under orders to wipe out our Uchiha clan."
Fugaku's expression changed drastically, "Impossible! Itachi would never betray the clan!"
The Great Elder's eyes held hidden rage, "Arrogant fool! The news of our clan's coup has already been passed to Konoha by Itachi."
"And you're still dreaming of a bloodless revolution!"
"Our clansmen who recently went on missions have all been ambushed by Root. Only Rengoku made it back alive today."
"If not for Rengoku's tireless efforts to deliver the intel, our Uchiha clan would have been wiped out by Itachi before we even realized it."
Fugaku's face turned ashen. If this was true, then he had gravely failed in his duties as Clan Head.
The coup information of the clan, was betrayed by his own son.
His own son became a double agent, and ended up defecting.
"Great Elder, Are you telling the truth?"
Fugaku stared at this clan uncle who had devoted half his life to the Uchiha clan. He so badly wished his uncle had been deceived.
But the Great Elder just gave him a fierce and disappointed look.
"I ask you! Did you ever prepare a contingency plan in case Itachi betrayed the clan?"
Fugaku was speechless. With his arrogance, how could he possibly make such a plan?
Otherwise, in the original timeline, he and Mikoto wouldn't have passively waited for death either.
The Great Elder coldly snorted, "I've now promoted Rengoku to Fourth Elder, responsible for commanding this battle."
"Fugaku, if you don't want our Uchiha clan to perish tonight, then behave yourself!"
