Hours earlier.
A man in a black robe, wearing a spiral single-eyed mask, appeared outside Konoha Village.
This person was Uchiha Obito, and next to Uchiha Obito was Zetsu, half black and half white.
"How's the investigation going, Zetsu?" Obito asked in a low voice.
"Hehehe, although the Third Hokage has no intention of destroying the Uchiha, Danzo has always had such an idea!"
Obito nodded upon hearing this.
His main purpose in coming to the Uchiha Clan this time was to obtain a sufficient quantity of Sharingan.
For Obito, the Sharingan was equivalent to a revival coin.
Obito was well aware of his own strength; although he could rely on the Mangekyo to be undefeated, it didn't mean he was invincible.
To create a world with Rin, he absolutely could not die now.
Therefore, revival coins like the Sharingan were very necessary.
Especially when facing Nagato, an unpredictable factor; although Nagato currently didn't act against him because he claimed to be Madara, what if Nagato wanted to test his strength one day? Then his facade would definitely crumble.
Five minutes of Kamui would be hard-pressed to withstand the barrage of attacks from the Six Paths of Pain.
As long as he could obtain the Sharingan, even if it meant Obito destroying the entire Uchiha, he would not show mercy.
Thinking of this, Obito walked towards Konoha Village.
Just as Obito entered Konoha Village, he heard a familiar roar.
Turning his head, he saw a giant Nine-Tailed Fox wreaking havoc everywhere.
"Hmm? The Nine-Tailed?"
Just then, Zetsu's body emerged from underground, saying in a strange, taunting tone, "Hehehe, I wonder which poor soul released the Nine-Tailed this time!"
Obito: ...
"How about it, Madara? Do you want to control the Nine-Tailed again this time?"
"Hmph! No need. Since the Nine-Tailed has appeared, let's change our strategy this time!"
"While Konoha Village is in chaos, we'll go directly to the Uchiha."
Zetsu smiled upon hearing this and submerged back into the ground.
"In that case, I'll provide support from underground!"
While the Nine-Tailed was wantonly destroying and all the Konoha Ninja were in a frenzy, Obito alone arrived at the Uchiha compound.
At this time, several Root Ninja were confronting Uchiha Fugaku at the entrance of the Uchiha compound.
"Lord Fugaku, the Nine-Tailed situation doesn't require the Uchiha. You only need to lead the Konoha Military Police Force to evacuate the villagers!"
"This is Hokage-sama's order!"
Fugaku initially wanted to resist, but after hearing the Hokage's order, he fell silent again.
He naturally knew that the person in front of him was not the Hokage's Anbu, but Danzo's Root, but since they came here to tell him not to go, then the Hokage must have implicitly approved it!
"Damn it... It was like this last time, and they're still playing this trick..."
Fugaku's face was very grim at this moment.
Last time, the Root Ninja blocked them, preventing them from fighting the Nine-Tailed.
Later, rumors spread throughout the Village, saying that the Nine-Tailed was released by the Uchiha!
It was also because of these rumors that Danzo had a reason to drive the Uchiha Clan to the outermost reaches of Konoha Village!
This trick was played a second time... Fugaku really wanted to just take action.
But just then, the Uchiha Great Elder arrived, grabbing Fugaku and saying, "Fugaku, you see, don't you? Konoha simply doesn't trust us! What are you still clinging to?"
Fugaku gave the Great Elder a cold look, and finally could only snort coldly and leave.
The Uchiha now faced both external and internal troubles.
External trouble: the distrust of the Konoha higher-ups. Internal trouble: the Uchiha Great Elder's faction constantly stirring up trouble.
Although recently, because of the virtual helmet, the Great Elder's faction had been much more well-behaved.
But who would have thought, the Nine-Tailed erupted again.
"Sigh, Itachi, where are you? When will you be back!"
At this moment, Fugaku thought of his mature eldest son. He estimated that if Itachi were here, he might offer some good suggestions.
Returning home, Uchiha Mikoto and Sasuke immediately rushed over.
"Fugaku, with the Nine-Tailed appearing, doesn't that mean that child..."
Seeing Uchiha Mikoto's anxious expression, Fugaku shook his head helplessly.
Mikoto, seeing this, immediately shed tears.
"Why... Why is Heaven so unfair? His parents sacrificed themselves for the Village, and living alone is already pitiful enough. Why... now even his life must be taken away!"
Seeing his mother crying, Sasuke was also a bit at a loss.
Uchiha Fugaku knew that his wife and the Fourth Hokage's wife had a very good relationship, and he actually didn't know how to comfort her.
"Sigh, I want to help, but the Konoha higher-ups..."
Fugaku had actually awakened his Mangekyo. With the Mangekyo, he could restrain the Nine-Tailed and perhaps even save Naruto.
But... the appearance of the Mangekyo would definitely touch the heartstrings of the Konoha higher-ups...
At the same time.
The Uchiha Elder faction was all in a state of excitement.
No other reason: after this Nine-Tailed incident, the Uchiha Clan would definitely be pushed to the forefront again.
As long as Konoha put a little more pressure on the Uchiha Clan, then... the entire Uchiha would explode like a lit powder keg.
The power of emotion, coupled with the Uchiha's foundation, could definitely overthrow the current Konoha higher-ups and then put the Uchiha in the high position of Hokage.
All the Elder faction members, thinking that the Uchiha Clan would stand at the pinnacle of Konoha's power, subconsciously activated their Sharingan.
Moreover, most of the twenty-plus people present were Three Tomoe.
Each of them had the strength of a Jonin to an Elite Jonin.
"Hehehe, that kid Fugaku thinks that with the virtual helmet, our Uchiha Clan will change? Hahaha, he's still too naive!"
The Great Elder said arrogantly, looking at the virtual helmet placed nearby.
"Yes... When we control Konoha in the future, this virtual helmet will also be in our hands!"
"Haha... The number one guild in the virtual world will also be our Uchiha Clan's!"
Just as the Elder faction members were all envisioning the future, a dark spatial vortex suddenly appeared in the field.
The Great Elder and the others immediately went into a state of alert upon seeing this.
Just then, the vortex disappeared, and a figure wearing a spiral mask appeared.
"The Uchiha Clan, your thinking is indeed still so naive and ridiculous!"
