night.

Kiyoshi embarks on his journey to Nanga Shrine.

He had just visited Might Guy's house, where Might Guy explained the training methods and key points to Kiyoshi and compiled a written document.

Might Guy was a ninja after all, and he could read and write, but his writing...

Kiyoshi looked at the crooked handwriting in his hand and carefully put it away.

After hearing Matt Dai recite it once, Kiyoshi had already memorized the entire text. With the evidence in his memory, reading these texts was not difficult at all.

"You're late, Kiyoshi."

Uchiha Tetsuka waved his hand.

He was accompanied by Uchiha Inahi and Uchiha Megumi.

"Something came up and I was delayed."

Kiyoshi followed the others unhurriedly through the secret passage entrance above the Nanga Shrine into the secret chamber below.

As he turned the corner, someone almost bumped into him.

It's Uchiha Hazuki.

"Sister Hazuki, you should concentrate on walking."

Qingsi said.

"Feel sorry."

Uchiha Hazuki lowered her head slightly.

Now that things have come to this, she has found her place.

She's still a Chunin, while Kiyoshi has been a Jonin for a long time.

Besides, she really didn't have the energy to cause any unnecessary trouble.

For the strong, war is the best opportunity to establish merit and achieve great things.

But for the weak, it's like a meat grinder in hell, where they have no idea when they will die.

Both Yamada Daiyu and she were ordinary ninjas, and years of war had left them both exhausted.

"It doesn't matter."

Kiyoshi walked straight to the front.

Tetsuka, Inahika, and Emi are still at the Chunin level.

However, Tetsuka and Inahikaze are already close to having the strength of Jonin.

Even the most useless person will improve somewhat in a war, let alone the Uchiha.

Uchiha Hazuki also took her seat, slightly towards the back of the middle.

Looking up, you can see Qing Si sitting at the very front, the handsome young man talking to the gentle woman next to him.

"Everyone's here, so let's get ready to begin the meeting."

Fugaku sat alone opposite all the clansmen.

Behind him stood his trusted confidants, including the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha.

Just as Fugaku was about to say something, an old voice interrupted him.

"Before we begin, let's discuss the village's recent attitude towards the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Setsuna sat cross-legged, his cane resting horizontally on his lap.

"Elder Setsuna, is there something you need?"

Fugaku's heart sank to the bottom.

Uchiha Setsuna, the leader of the martial arts faction, had always been a headache for him.

Fugaku faced a difficult situation dealing with a seasoned and powerful Uchiha.

Because the Uchiha clan doesn't entirely obey Fugaku Uchiha; people with different opinions will support different factions.

Uchiha Setsuna had many supporters.

Uchiha Kiyoshi also showed some of this tendency. The younger generation treated Kiyoshi like a follower, and no one dared to act recklessly.

"Fugaku, tell me honestly, do you even know how to use Susanoo?"

Uchiha Setsuna asked in a deep voice.

As soon as the words were spoken, a clansman named Uchiha Kabaru raised his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and listened attentively to the following conversation.

"Danzo's undercover agent infiltrated the Uchiha clan..."

Without even turning around, Kiyoshi knew that there must be a spy sent in by Danzo.

In "Itachi's True Story", there is a man named Uchiha Kawara who is in charge of logistics for the police force and is not an inconspicuous man.

Their rank is genin, and they don't have any particularly outstanding ninjutsu.

He rarely speaks up in meetings and usually agrees with others' opinions.

Furthermore, as long as one is located in a logistics unit of the police force, there will be no opportunity to activate the Sharingan.

Therefore, He Yuan was inconspicuous during his lifetime, had no other relatives, and his identity was replaced without anyone noticing, which did not arouse the suspicion of his clan.

Kiyoshi glanced back, his gaze vaguely landing on Uchiha Kabaru.

Uchiha Kawara's heart skipped a beat.

No way.

Did Uchiha Kiyoshi discover it?

Thinking of Uchiha Kiyoshi's reputation as a genius, Uchiha Kabara broke out in a cold sweat.

No, that's impossible. He underwent special modifications; both his chakra and physical body were disguised.

His excellent composure as an undercover agent allowed Uchiha Kawara to barely maintain his facial expression and not reveal anything unusual.

Only after Qing Si turned around did he dare to raise his head.

What a terrifying aura.

If it were anyone else, he wouldn't have behaved so poorly.

"I won't."

Fugaku was inwardly turbulent, but remained outwardly calm, even showing a look of doubt.

"Susanoo...what is that?"

"It's said to be the third power that only Uchiha who have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan can wield... something that only Uchiha Madara, who possessed comparable strength to the God of Shinobi, Hashirama."

"Kaleidoscope? I remember that because of the proliferation of certain secret techniques within the clan, a woman named Uchiha Chiri ended those techniques with her kaleidoscope. There should have been more than one pair."

"Captain Fugaku isn't the type to hide his strength... right?"

"Hmph, Fugaku, you clearly possess such power, so why do you sit idly by and watch your clansmen die?"

The tribespeople in the secret room began to discuss the matter.

Some of the younger Uchiha were unaware of what was happening, while the older generation of Uchiha clearly understood more.

Konoha Village has only been established for a few decades, and there are even some people who have lived from those times to the present.

Such as Uchiha Setsuna, so his seniority and seniority are extremely high.

Gradually, public opinion began to turn against Fugaku.

Some people even stood up agitatedly and asked Fugaku why he didn't save his child.

In fact, they weren't sure if Fugaku actually existed; they just desperately needed an outlet for their emotions.

The Uchiha are a clan that values ​​love, and when they lose love, the grief they feel is unimaginably heavy for other ninja clans.

"presumptuous!"

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha glared at the other clan members, his Sharingan eyes gleaming.

But then, in the secret room, there were pairs of scarlet eyes.

The thick air carried an added sense of desolation.

Chapter 255 First Visit to Mikoto's House

Fugaku listened to the condemnations of his clansmen but did not offer any explanation.

Because what they said was true.

If I hadn't awakened the "Mangekyou Sharingan," I wouldn't be tormented by my conscience.

Now, as the clan leader, he possesses the power to save the other clan members, yet he has not done so.

why?

For the Uchiha.

Fugaku thought about this heavily, and he comforted himself that this was not weakness, but rather a way to make the most of his strength.

"Please calm down, everyone. Fugaku is the clan head elected by everyone."

Seeing the crowd's agitation, Mikoto said some good words for Fugaku.

She knew that Fugaku had awakened the "Mangekyou Sharingan," but the price of using it was blindness!

But I can't say that out loud.

Doesn't this imply that weakened eyesight is less valuable than the lives of our fellow countrymen?

The choice between upholding justice and prioritizing family ties is incredibly difficult at this moment.

However, the public's anger had not subsided, and the resentment was soon directed at Mikoto.

"Everyone just wants to know if Captain Fugaku has awakened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, can't we even ask?"

Uchiha Kawara said, forcing himself to speak.

He had to figure this out; it concerned Lord Danzo's scheme.

The recent uproar was partly due to his instigation.

Lord Danzo had already spread these rumors far and wide; he was merely igniting them now.

Hearing this, Mikoto didn't know how to refute it.

It would be fine if Fugaku were just an ordinary Uchiha, but his position as clan leader carried a heavy responsibility.

"Hmph, whether it's true or not, Fugaku, you know best."

Uchiha Setsuna slowly opened his mouth.

When he was young, he was impetuous and dared to organize his clan to rebel against the Second Hokage. He is still impetuous now that he is old, but he is not as thoughtless as he was when he was young.

“In my opinion, we should re-elect the position of clan leader. Fugaku, it’s one thing for you to hide your strength, but it’s another thing to see whether you have brought more benefits to the clan.”

Uchiha Setsuna's attitude largely represents the attitude of the Uchiha clan's martial arts faction.

“There are ninjas from the same era as Fugaku, such as Mikoto, and so on. There are also geniuses of the new era, such as Kiyoshi.”

Uchiha Setsuna rattled off a string of names.

While the three-tomoe Sharingan is indeed rare, the Uchiha clan, in all its size, couldn't possibly have so few holders of it.

The title "Ferocious-Eyed Fugaku" was something Fugaku earned by using the Three Tomoe Jewel.

Kiyoshi is also known as "Black Flash".

For a moment, many eyes were fixed on Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi, whose reputation has risen rapidly, is indeed very convincing within the Uchiha clan, where strength is revered.

At least at Kiyoshi's age, Fugaku was far inferior.

When Kiyoshi saw that the topic had turned to him again, he immediately said modestly that he still had a lot to do.
