Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 197 Before the kaleidoscope, no one can rival it.

This plan, which kills two birds with one stone, is intricately linked yet not complicated, and is not difficult to implement.

Black Zetsu's combat awareness is lacking; even as a strategist for a super-strong savior like Kaguya, he was still outmaneuvered by Naruto and Sasuke in Six Paths form. However, he is quite adept at plotting schemes and schemes.

Paired with the highly opinionated and action-oriented Uchiha Madara, the two of them together can be quite troublesome when they cause trouble.

"Lord Gen, regardless of whether Fugaku has disappeared or left on purpose, let's first think about how to deal with the Second Elder and the Third Elder."

Uchiha Tsukasa said anxiously to Uchiha Gen.

"It's alright. Since they've come looking for me, I'll go out and meet them."

Uchiha Gen remained calm as he sheathed his Sengoku ninja sword, his tone devoid of any emotion.

He definitely had to step forward at this point, otherwise he would only be subjected to smears. He simply straightened his clothes and walked out of the building accompanied by Uchiha Tsukasa.

Outside the camp's corridor, a large number of clansmen had already gathered, with the Second Elder and the Third Elder leading the way.

Behind them were Uchiha clan members who had been hastily assembled, including more than twenty Jonin with the Sharingan of the three tomoe.

"Yuan, you've finally arrived. Fugaku has disappeared. The fortress is heavily guarded. It's not something an ordinary person can do to make Fugaku disappear without a trace. As the clan's current top expert, what do you think?"

Upon seeing Uchiha Gen appear, the Second Elder immediately asked a question.

He said "What do you think?" but it sounded more like "Did you do it?"

"I have no opinion. Fugaku is quite strong. Even if the Third Raikage himself launched a sneak attack, it wouldn't have been completely silent. There's no reason for the people in the camp who are stronger than him to attack him."

Uchiha Gen watched as the crowd automatically parted to make way for him, then walked to the center of the crowd and looked at his clansmen.

"No reason, no movement? But what if someone stronger than Fugaku, someone Fugaku trusts, launched a sneak attack while he was completely unprepared?"

The Third Elder stared intently at Uchiha Gen with a grim face.

"Oh? Could it be that the Third Elder means that I gained Fugaku's trust by taking advantage of his unpreparedness, and then launched a surprise attack, which led to this situation?"

Uchiha Gen's face also darkened, and he placed his hand on the hilt of the Sengoku Ninja Sword at his waist.

This action caused the Third Elder to involuntarily activate his three-tomoe Sharingan.

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

Uchiha Gen is now a highly decorated warrior and a renowned top-tier ninja in the ninja world, so he deserves to be treated this way.

"I don't mean to frame you, but the last person Fugaku saw before he disappeared was Kim. According to Kim, Fugaku was going to talk to you about something, and shortly after that, he disappeared. That's why we came to you for advice."

The Third Elder softened his tone and turned his gaze to a Uchiha man in his thirties from the crowd.

Uchiha Kin, a Jonin with the three-tomoe Sharingan, is a direct descendant of the old clan patriarch, Uchiha Hisasu.

"You want to discuss this with me? You've brought so many people here? What, is someone trying to smear me? Gentlemen, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You all know what's going on in the clan, but if I may be frank, I, Uchiha Gen, have never considered Fugaku or anyone else as my opponent, and I have no reason to attack Fugaku."

Uchiha Gen spoke calmly, his face cold, and his eyes swept over Uchiha Kin.

This guy is just a pawn that's been pushed out; he's not important.

Second Elder Uchiha Yu spoke again: "Yuan, do you know what you're saying? The key issue right now isn't the internal clan struggle, but Fugaku's disappearance. If you want to steer the conversation towards the internal clan struggle—"

"Alright, Elder Yu, let's leave it at that. I know that some people will doubt me because of their influence, but I'm too lazy to do something that won't lead to anything that will prove my innocence."

As I just said, I've never taken these clan matters to heart. Whether it's you, the Third Elder, or Fugaku, they're all the same to me. These things are meaningless in my eyes, and I have no need to do things that won't affect the outcome.

As soon as he finished speaking, a red light appeared in Gen Uchiha's eyes.

The three magatama spun rapidly, connecting to form a pair of six-pointed stars with red patterns on a black background.

Beautiful, eerie, and perfect like a gemstone, it exudes a destructive and powerful aura.

Stimulated by the superior eye power, many Uchiha awakened their Sharingan.

"This, this is—what kind of Sharingan is this?!"

"Beyond the three tomoe, there are even more powerful eyes!"

"This is the Mangekyou Sharingan! The strongest Sharingan that our clan's ancestor relied on to dominate the ninja world!"

Not everyone recognizes the Mangekyou Sharingan, but among the many elite Uchiha gathered here, there are quite a few senior members of the clan with high status.

After all, it has only been a little over thirty years since Konoha was founded. When the Second Elder and Third Elder were young, in their teens and twenties, it was during the time when Madara and Izuna were leading the Uchiha clan.

The Second Elder and Third Elder were struck dumb upon seeing the Kaleidoscope, their faces filled with disbelief. After exchanging a glance, they quickly regained their composure.

They were all seasoned veterans, having been suppressed by Uchiha Kusu for most of their lives. They were no longer as sharp-witted as the younger clansmen, but rather more worldly and shrewd.

Once the Mangekyou Sharingan is activated, whether or not Gen Uchiha attacks Fugaku will not affect the outcome.

He possesses the only pair of Mangekyou Sharingan of this era. Even if he is not the clan leader, with the prestige he has accumulated and the support of the Grand Elder behind him, his words carry more weight within the clan than anyone else's.

"What Gen is right. With these strongest Sharingan, there is no need to take action against Fugaku."

"Indeed, there must be more to the story. Jin, is there anything else you'd like to say?"

The two elders, working in unison, quickly shifted the focus of their criticism from Uchiha Gen to Uchiha Kin.

"I really didn't know either. Perhaps Fugaku had some unspeakable difficulties and had to leave on his own initiative."

Uchiha Kin lowered his head and proactively changed the nature of the matter from "questioning whether Fugaku was ambushed by Uchiha Genji" to "why Fugaku left on his own initiative".

He was the old patriarch's man, but he wasn't stupid.

With Fugaku gone and the old clan patriarch paralyzed on one side, he voluntarily abdicated. Now, Uchiha Gen has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and no one in the clan can rival him.
