# Chapter 9: Your Son Is the Spy!
After returning home, Uzumaki Mizuki calmed down.
"It's just one hundred million Ryo. Uchiha Fugaku shouldn't give up."
"If I'm wrong about this, then Uchiha Fugaku is too stupid. But he doesn't feel like that kind of person."
"I should practice this technique slowly in the bathroom. Once I master it, things will be much more convenient in the future."
After confirming that there were no major omissions in today's events, Uzumaki Mizuki started cooking dinner.
Waiting for Naruto to come home!
On the other hand, Uchiha Fugaku stayed in his office all afternoon, weighed down by worry.
When he returned home at night, he looked troubled.
"What's wrong? Did something troublesome happen today?"
Uchiha Mikoto handed a filled bowl of rice to Uchiha Fugaku and asked with some concern.
Sasuke also looked at his father, wondering what kind of difficulty could make him feel so troubled.
"It's just a small trouble, nothing serious. Let's eat quickly!"
Looking at his family, Uchiha Fugaku immediately made up his mind.
Stepping onto the path of trading with Uzumaki Mizuki meant completely falling out with the village.
But if what Uzumaki Mizuki said was true, then let them fall out. The Uchiha Clan could not perish by his hands like this.
He wanted to protect his clansmen, protect his family!
Seeing Uchiha Fugaku figure things out, Uchiha Mikoto also breathed a sigh of relief.
...
"**Shadow Clone Technique**!"
Uzumaki Mizuki practiced the Shadow Clone Technique while taking a bath.
This technique wasn't difficult. Its main drawback was the side effect: the fatigue experienced by the shadow clone would be transferred to the main body.
As long as one had enough Chakra, they could basically use this Ninjutsu well.
"Poof!"
After a few attempts, Uzumaki Mizuki successfully used the technique.
He created a shadow clone that looked exactly like him.
"The clone can also open the **Gate of Babylon** and use the Noble Phantasms inside. However, since **Ea** is in my hand, the clone can't use it."
Uzumaki Mizuki quickly understood what the shadow clone could do.
He had thought that if the shadow clone couldn't use the **Gate of Babylon**, it wouldn't be of much value to him unless he practiced more Ninjutsu.
But now it seemed he didn't need to worry about that. As long as his Magic Power was sufficient, he could use it freely.
The next day, before going out, Uzumaki Mizuki left a shadow clone to stay in the bathroom.
Besides waiting for Uchiha Fugaku, he also wanted to test how long the shadow clone could exist.
His Chakra was now close to four thousand, and he had split half of it.
Unfortunately, the shadow clone couldn't open the system interface and could only use the **Gate of Babylon**; otherwise, he could see accurate data!
...
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't take the matter of Uzumaki Mizuki's contact with Uchiha Fugaku to heart, as long as it didn't involve Naruto.
At this time, he knew Uchiha Fugaku must be trying everything he could to avoid any incidents, so he probably wouldn't dare make a move on Uzumaki Mizuki.
"It should be here!"
Unexpectedly, Uchiha Fugaku was now prepared to turn against Konoha.
He used the same tactic as Uzumaki Mizuki, leaving a shadow clone in his office while his main body infiltrated the vicinity of the Uzumaki brothers' home.
He scanned the area very rigorously with his **Sharingan**. After confirming there were indeed no people, he officially began his infiltration.
"There's someone!!"
After entering the room, Uchiha Fugaku's expression turned fierce.
Because he discovered someone in the bathroom!
When Uzumaki Mizuki went out, to avoid detection by the ANBU, he deliberately didn't turn the faucet off tightly, using the sound of dripping water to hide the clone's presence.
However, this kind of concealment meant nothing to Uchiha Fugaku.
"You're here?"
Uzumaki Mizuki's voice came from the room.
He wasn't without any sensory means. His precise manipulation of Magic Power allowed him to detect subtle changes in the surroundings, sensing people nearby, similar to a Sensory Ninja!
"You?"
Hearing Uzumaki Mizuki's voice, Uchiha Fugaku was stunned.
Then he watched guardedly as the bathroom door opened.
"Let's trade, hurry up."
"It's just a shadow clone!"
Uzumaki Mizuki said very calmly.
"The money is here. Now you can explain the things from yesterday in detail, right!"
Uchiha Fugaku nodded, then took out a scroll, summoned three suitcases from it, and placed them on the table.
Then he asked Uzumaki Mizuki.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen sent a spy into the Uchiha Clan. That person contacted the guy who attacked my parents before, also known as Uchiha Madara."
"This spy and Uchiha Madara plan to join forces to wipe out the Uchiha Clan. Konoha's Root will be responsible for watching the scene, allowing no one to approach the Uchiha Clan grounds."
"This spy is your son, Uchiha Itachi, who has awakened the **Mangekyou Sharingan**."
Uzumaki Mizuki had no intention of hiding anything.
Both sides were striving for the same direction, so there was no need to play tricks.
So Uzumaki Mizuki told the truth directly.
He told him that his son was the biggest spy.
Uchiha Fugaku fell silent and didn't speak.
"What, you don't believe it?"
Uzumaki Mizuki asked.
If he didn't believe it, convincing him would be somewhat troublesome.
"I believe it. If it's Itachi, perhaps he really would do such a thing."
Uchiha Fugaku suddenly looked much older, his expression becoming gloomy.
But he believed what Uzumaki Mizuki said.
"Konoha's higher-ups have made it clear they want the Uchiha Clan dead, so you have no choice either."
"Even if I told you the method to completely resolve this matter now, you wouldn't believe it. So first, let me tell you how to escape this carefully prepared plan."
Uzumaki Mizuki continued speaking.
He had no interest in caring about Uchiha Fugaku's internal changes right now. He was here to start a revolution and didn't have time for sadness.
Let's just get it done.
