Chapter 4 Uchiha Fugaku
Chapter 4 Uchiha Fugaku
Uchiha Gen's life finally came to an end under the crimson moonlight.
Obito stared intently at Abe's corpse on the ground, a chill that was hard to describe rising within him.
The corpse was withered and emaciated, like a decaying old tree. Its once bright and eerie eyes had lost all their kaleidoscope-like brilliance, becoming dull and lifeless...
Beside Yuan's corpse lay the pair of Mangekyou Sharingan eyes, which, though devoid of light, still exuded a chilling and eerie aura.
Obito instinctively felt an extreme sense of unease. His intuition told him that those eyes were extremely dangerous and ominous, and definitely not benevolent.
The terrifying power of the technique that Yuan used on his deathbed still haunts Obito.
It wasn't just his pupil power that was burning, but also his life force; the immense cost nearly emptied him of everything.
"His first kaleidoscope ability did indeed enhance my eye power..."
When the contract mentioned in the absurdist's words was completed, Obito did indeed clearly feel that the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan was greatly enhanced.
Since he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, even with the power of White Zetsu cells, he still cannot avoid certain losses.
However, just as Abe's final power was activated, Obito was surprised to find that his Mangekyou Sharingan had been mysteriously restored.
The problem of wear and tear from using the pupil technique was miraculously solved out of thin air.
This unprecedented phenomenon at least confirms the accuracy of the first piece of information Yuan mentioned.
Left eye assist...
Next, let's talk about the right eye.
In any case, this is what Obito needs to do right now.
This confirms the truth of what Yuan just said about the destruction of the ninja world.
He looked at those fearsome Mangekyou Sharingan eyes, his brows furrowed deeply, and after hesitating for a moment, he muttered to himself.
"Although I really don't want to touch your eyes, it's better than Danzo or someone else getting their hands on them."
With this thought in mind, Obito slowly reached out and took away Abe's pair of strange Mangekyou Sharingan.
The moment the fingers touched Yuan's withered body, a chilling and sinister aura wafted towards them, carrying an eerie feeling.
Obito frowned, severing a portion of White Zetsu cells in his body to block this curse-like power.
Obito didn't care about the pieces of his body that had fallen off: "Trying to scheme against me even after I'm dead?"
Obito dismissed this as nothing more than a pointless sealing technique...
He grabbed the pair of kaleidoscopes, quickly activated his Divine Might Technique to make himself intangible, and swiftly left the security headquarters.
However, these White Zetsu cells slowly merged into Uchiha Abyss's body...
Shortly after Obito disappeared, the Root ninjas finally arrived at the Uchiha Police Department under the cover of night.
This group of Root ninjas was sent by Danzo Shimura.
When Danzo's Shisui Sharingan was damaged, he sensed something was wrong and immediately dispatched Root members to the Uchiha base.
The Root ninjas entered the camp quickly and cautiously, seeing corpses lying everywhere and blood covering the ground.
The root members acted swiftly and decisively to handle the situation.
As they entered the innermost room of the security headquarters, they stopped.
In the very center of the room, Uchiha Abyss's corpse stood upright, black liquid seeping from its empty eye sockets, resembling a bizarre sculpture that sent chills down everyone's spine.
The Root ninjas cautiously approached, trying to assess the condition of the body.
The moment one of the ninjas reached out and touched Yuan's corpse, the corpse instantly transformed into countless withered, twisted, and eerie trees, which spread wildly in all directions.
"Wood Release?"
"Wait, this isn't Wood Release..."
The Root ninja retreated in terror, but it was too late.
These eerie, withered trees wriggled and twisted as if they were alive, instantly binding all the Root Ninjas tightly like tentacles.
The ninjas struggled desperately, but their ninjutsu was ineffective; they could only watch helplessly as their bodies were rapidly swallowed by the trees...
Accompanied by eerie swallowing sounds, the bodies of the Root members were completely engulfed.
Immediately afterwards, as if they had completed their mission, the withered trees quickly extended downwards, mysteriously burrowing into the depths of the garrison headquarters, and slowly disappeared.
The ground returned to calm, showing no signs of anything unusual.
Uchiha Abyss's seemingly fragile corpse actually transformed into countless roots at this moment, penetrating deep into the underground of Konoha.
And the roots of those trees, just as the literal meaning suggests, transformed into the true roots of the leaves.
Night falls on the Uchiha clan's camp.
Fugaku Uchiha sat calmly in the quiet room, his expression as serene as still water, as if he had already seen through everything.
Looking at his son, Uchiha Itachi, he felt an indescribable pang of sorrow.
"Don't be sad..."
Fugaku's voice was unusually gentle and warm, as if all the tragedy and death before him had nothing to do with him: "I have never blamed you."
Faced with the failure of his family coup, Fugaku did not feel anger, nor did he show fear, and he was unwilling to kill his most cherished relatives.
He calmly accepted his fate and said gently:
"You made your choice, and I understand your difficulties and respect your decision. I've always been proud of you. No matter what, don't be afraid, and don't blame yourself..."
Itachi lowered his head and remained silent, his gaze not meeting Fugaku's.
Fugaku sighed softly, looking at Itachi with gentle and calm eyes: "From today onwards, Sasuke is in your hands. His future depends entirely on you to protect him."
After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes, deciding to end it all in his own way.
He was prepared to face death, to use his own life to bring an end to the future of his family and Itachi.
But just as Fugaku was preparing to face death, a strange yet clear voice suddenly echoed in his mind:
"Chief Fugaku, what is your wish?"
The voice was both strangely familiar and strangely unfamiliar; it belonged to Uchiha Gen.
Fugaku paused slightly, as memories flooded back.
That was a long time ago, when Yuan had a strange conversation with him under the moonlight.
At the time, I was just casually listening to Yuan's indifferent question...
"Is your wish to revitalize the Uchiha clan?"
Fugaku did not pay attention to Fuchi's question at the time, nor did he answer it.
But now, that conversation that he had completely ignored back then is now vividly present in his mind, as if it was after that day that his Kaleidoscope Eye Power was powerfully repaired and replenished.
His Mangekyou Sharingan, which he had kept hidden for so long and had never used, was now out of control...
Reviving the Uchiha...
Yuan's words, though enticing, kept echoing in his mind.
A strange feeling...
It surged into his eyes, frantically drawing away the pupil power he had treasured for so long.
Fugaku realized the situation was bad and was about to warn Itachi, but was horrified to find that he could not make a sound.
It felt as if an invisible force was tightly gripping my throat, and I could only let out weak and helpless sobs.
"Father?"
Fugaku wanted to respond, but could only open his mouth helplessly. The power in his eyes rapidly diminished, and his vision gradually blurred.
That strange and malevolent power mercilessly emptied his eyes, devouring his life and consciousness.
Finally, Fugaku's head drooped slightly, and he could no longer utter a word. His life force completely dissipated into the night.
"Father's pupil power has been drained..."
