Almost instantly.
With the activation of Fugaku's Mangekyo, the flow of time around Obito slowed down by a full thirty-nine times.
This was Fugaku's full power!
Yes, full power!
Unlike the Fugaku in the other world—where Uchiha Jin had been leading the Uchiha for three or four years and had even directly established Neo Konoha—this world was completely different.
In that world, Fugaku naturally didn't need to use his Dōjutsu.
In this world, however, it was a different story.
Over these past few years, Fugaku had been constantly attempting to use his Dōjutsu, hoping to catch even a glimmer of hope for the future. As the Night of the Massacre drew closer, he used it even more recklessly; in reality, Fugaku was now nearly blind.
Yes!
He had known about the Night of the Massacre for a long time, which was why Fugaku hadn't shown the slightest surprise when Shisui mentioned Itachi today.
The reason he agreed to cooperate was also simple: he had seen that Shisui, who was supposed to have died according to the original work, had appeared in such an uncanny way.
After meeting with Shisui this afternoon, he had used his Dōjutsu once more upon returning home and had actually detected a glimmer of hope.
In the original work, Fugaku chose to meet his death calmly, which was the only hope he could find.
Now, the situation was different!
Since he had sensed a lifeline for his entire clan from Shisui, he was naturally willing to help him at all costs.
Now...
Seeing Obito, the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails Attack Night and the one currently plotting to destroy the Uchiha Clan, Fugaku naturally wouldn't let this bastard leave easily.
This time, he used his full power!
His eyes began to bleed continuously, but Fugaku didn't even bother to wipe them.
He arrived quietly beside Obito and, amidst Obito's desperate gaze, easily plucked out his right Mangekyo and his left Three-Tomoe. Finally, he used a Kunai to slit his throat.
A second later.
After Fugaku deactivated his Mangekyo, Obito's body hit the ground.
However, a moment later, Obito's body slowly dissipated!
Seeing this, Fugaku looked confused: "I plucked out his Three-Tomoe, how could Obito still be revived?"
"Damn it!" Shisui cursed loudly.
He began to observe his surroundings closely, preparing for battle at any moment.
A dozen seconds later, Obito's body appeared, just over fifty meters to Shisui's left.
Whoosh!
Shisui's speed reached its limit; his katana, like a streak of light, slashed fiercely toward Obito.
But, unfortunately, he was a step too slow!
Black Zetsu, like a mass of black sludge, wrapped around Obito before he could reach him and instantly merged into the ground.
"Black Zetsu!"
"I didn't expect this guy to come as well."
Obito sighed, then slowly sheathed his blade.
There was no helping it!
The moment he saw Black Zetsu, he understood that it was impossible to kill Obito today. After all, Uchiha Jin had once said...
Black Zetsu's strength might be weak, but his ability to escape was top-notch.
Unless the opponent was sealed specifically, not even Uchiha Jin could do anything about it!
However, managing to snatch one of Obito's Mangekyo could at least be considered a good thing.
The only pity was that the situation for the Uchiha was dire!
He couldn't go find Kakashi in this world; after all, they were still in opposing camps, so Kakashi's Mangekyo definitely couldn't be saved. That dog Black Zetsu would never let this opportunity slip by.
"For now, we are safe!"
"Although it's a pity not to have killed Obito, the other side won't make a move in the short term."
"Next..."
"Set up the large Uchiha Flame Formation. If the person who comes is Hiruzen Sarutobi, then it proves the Konoha Higher-ups are prepared to negotiate.
If it is Danzo's Root, then prepare for battle!"
"Finally, I have one point to make!"
"If it's possible to win over the various Ninja Clans and Civilians of Konoha, then the direct forces of the Konoha Higher-ups, such as the Root, the Anbu, and the clans belonging to the Konoha Higher-ups, are absolutely hostile forces that cannot be won over.
For forces that cannot be won over or resolved peacefully, our goal is to show no mercy and decisively eliminate them!"
Shisui's tone was cold, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Following his words, even though the Moderate Faction and the fence-sitters were the ones remaining, they agreed without a word.
There was no choice!
The appearance of Itachi and Obito was enough to prove that the Konoha Higher-ups had made up their minds to kill the Uchiha Clan.
Otherwise... could they really rely on Itachi to kill the entire clan?
Even with his Mangekyo, he simply didn't have that ability!
Especially since the Uchiha Clan didn't lie; everyone had heard what Itachi said just now.
Therefore, even the current Moderate Faction and fence-sitters, after Shisui proved his accuracy, chose to hand over command completely to him.
After all, even Shisui, the original moderate, had turned into such a terrifying figure; if they still trusted the words of the Konoha Higher-ups, then it wouldn't just be stupidity.
...
Time slowly passed.
Ten minutes later, Danzo's Root didn't make the Uchiha wait long. Perhaps because there was no news from Itachi's side, or perhaps because Danzo was anxious to recover his beloved Sharingan, numerous members of the Root directly invaded the Uchiha Clan Compound.
These people killed everyone they saw!
However, they soon stopped, because they were all Shadow Clones.
"Damn it, something is wrong!"
"Uchiha Itachi must have betrayed us; these are all Shadow Clones."
"Retreat!"
These Root Ninja sensed something was wrong and immediately prepared to retreat.
But it was too late!
With the appearance of a group of Uchiha, they directly activated the large Uchiha Flame Formation, completely surrounding the more than two hundred Root members.
The leading Root member shouted immediately: "Uchiha, do you want to rebel?"
"You've already killed your way into our Uchiha Clan Compound, and you still have the nerve to say we Uchiha are rebelling?" A Uchiha clansman couldn't help but retort directly.
The Root members remained silent.
Shisui didn't waste any words and drew his katana directly.
"Kill!"
After saying that, he didn't hesitate and immediately charged toward the Root.
The other Uchiha saw this and understood in their hearts that there was no hope for peace now. So, kill!
"For the Uchiha, kill!"
Countless Uchiha roared and charged toward the Root.
"Shisui?"
"Impossible, you died!"
"How could you be alive?"
When the Root members saw Shisui, they looked as if they had seen a ghost.
However, unfortunately, Shisui couldn't be bothered to answer them; all that greeted them was Shisui's blade.
After years of training and cellular strengthening from the main storyline, Shisui's current strength was terrifyingly powerful.
Even though he only activated his Three-Tomoe, he still had no equal!
At this moment... he was truly another White Fang of Konoha!
