Chapter 52 - Chapter 52: Naka Shrine

Nighttime, outside Naka Shrine, on the outskirts of Konoha.

A dark shadow slowly descended outside, carefully observing the scene within.

"Although there are far fewer Uchiha clan ninja than in the afternoon, this place is still guarded by a few Uchiha jonin," Tengen thought thoughtfully.

During the day, the Uchiha clan was holding a clan meeting. With so many Uchiha ninja present, Tengen couldn't possibly find an opportune moment to act.

Although the Root incident had passed a few months ago, Konoha's ninja defenses had significantly increased.

Tengen feared that by the time he engaged the Uchiha ninja, before even reaching the signal reception location, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya, and others would arrive.

At that point, it would truly be a joke.

There was a high possibility that Tengen would be discovered, and then he would have no choice but to defect. While defection wasn't a huge deal for Tengen, he didn't want to become a rogue ninja for no reason.

Just like Orochimaru, who had access to Konoha's excellent resources for his research, he initially didn't want to become a rogue ninja. He only had to flee when the Third Hokage discovered his secrets.

Therefore, Tengen didn't make a move during the day, waiting until some of the Uchiha clan members had left before coming here.

Fortunately, the ultra-high definition signal hadn't disappeared, which made Tengen breathe a sigh of relief.

"I can act now." As Tengen was about to make his move, his eyes flickered. A direct forceful assault would still be quite dangerous.

"Moreover, is the Uchiha clan head, Fugaku Uchiha, not here?" Tengen took a deep breath, formed hand signs, and completely transformed himself.

Immediately, a figure identical to Fugaku Uchiha appeared there.

Tengen used the Transformation Jutsu to turn himself into Fugaku Uchiha.

However, Tengen knew that even then, he might still be discovered. After all, Fugaku Uchiha had just left; why would he suddenly come here late at night?

Although Fugaku Uchiha, as the clan head, held great power within the Uchiha clan, he was somewhat powerless in controlling the entire Uchiha clan. Therefore, Fugaku Uchiha's word was not absolute within the Uchiha clan.

And like Konoha's other clan similar to the Uchiha, the Hyuga clan was different. Because besides the main family, the branch family would have a cursed mark, "Cage Bird," which allowed the main family to perpetually control the branch family. The life and death of the branch family could be said to forever be not in their own hands.

Putting those aside for now, Tengen, transformed into Fugaku Uchiha, took a deep breath. His eyes instantly turned blood-red. In his blood-red pupils, three tomoe spun continuously.

Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

The Uchiha clan's kekkei genkai simply couldn't be mimicked because the Uchiha clan could sense that oppressive feeling.

"Fugaku Uchiha also has the Three-Tomoe Sharingan," Tengen chuckled softly. "Then let's give it a try."

Then, Tengen directly walked towards the main gate of Naka Shrine. The three tomoe in his blood-red eyes spun continuously, and the imposing aura directly made the Uchiha clan members guarding the entrance notice his arrival.

"Who's there?" the guards quickly shouted.

"Me," Tengen said impatiently. "I have something to do inside right now."

His blood-red Three-Tomoe Sharingan swept across the guards, making the guard's heart tremble. A chilling sensation surged from within him.

"Clan Head, please," the guards quickly said.

They could feel the Sharingan, and this Three-Tomoe Sharingan had reached a very deep stage. This was the strength of their Uchiha clan head.

"Hmm," Tengen nodded faintly, then walked into Naka Shrine.

"Do you think something happened? The Clan Head looks very unhappy."

"Don't worry about it. We just need to guard this place. The Clan Head is not someone we can approach."

"But something must have happened, because the Clan Head's Three-Tomoe Sharingan hasn't deactivated."

"Yeah, yeah, that Three-Tomoe Sharingan looks really scary."

Ignoring those murmurs, Tengen walked directly into Naka Shrine.

There were also Uchiha jonin inside.

As Tengen entered Naka Shrine, he knew that the signal reception point was not upstairs, but likely in the Uchiha clan's mysterious basement.

"Phew." Tengen breathed a sigh of relief. His blood-red eyes looked at an Uchiha clan member. This Uchiha clan member should be an Uchiha jonin.

Regarding the mysterious basement, these Uchiha jonin should know.

And Tengen knew that to open the mysterious basement, there was a specific jutsu that only Uchiha could perform. Of course, there was also another way: to forcefully break into the basement.

That would be quite unrealistic, as the thickness of the basement's entrance was considerable. Such an attack would directly attract other Konoha ninja.

Moreover, there were Uchiha jonin present in the main hall.

"Open the basement for me," Tengen said slowly.

"This..." The Uchiha clan member was startled.

"What..." Tengen's Sharingan swept over the Uchiha ninja.

"Understood, Clan Head." This Uchiha clan member directly led Tengen to a certain spot, then formed hand signs. The stone slab slowly opened, revealing the basement inside.

"I'll go in for a moment," Tengen said. "Wait outside."

"Yes, Clan Head," the Uchiha clan member said.

Within the mysterious basement.

Tengen arrived at the basement and looked at the stone tablet before him.

"This is it. The ultra-high definition video is continuously being received." Tengen smiled as he felt the continuous video reception from his player system.

"An ultra-high definition video, I wonder what it will be," Tengen speculated.

Although he didn't know what it was, one thing was certain: it would definitely be something good.

"The stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths." Tengen also read some things through his Three-Tomoe Sharingan and smiled boredly. Of course, he knew about these things.

As Tengen received the signal.

The real Fugaku Uchiha slowly walked towards Naka Shrine.

A crisis was on the verge of erupting.
