"Haha, it's time for you to make a choice, my good teacher..."

However, at this point, everything else is irrelevant.

"Nine-Tails, let's continue our journey to Konoha!"

Behind the orange swirling mask, the tomoe in the Mangekyou Sharingan spun rapidly.

Obito Uchiha, controlling the enormous and tyrannical Kurama, slowly walked towards Konoha.

Chapter 135, Who is the fisherman?

Who are you?

In a forest in Konoha, Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi, along with a group of Hyuga ninja, looked at the group of people blocking their way.

The group of people in front of them were all dressed in black robes, without any clan emblems or symbols.

There's no way to tell where they came from.

The leader of the men in black seemed to hear their voices, and then slowly raised his head, revealing the eerie orange spiral masks they wore on their faces.

"Us..."

The leader of the men in black had a hoarse and deep voice.

"Just a passerby who can't stand the injustice in Konoha."

"Sharingan..."

Hyuga Hizashi keenly noticed the pairs of scarlet eyes hidden beneath the masks of the group opposite him.

He immediately rolled his eyes.

"Uchiha? What are you trying to do by stopping us at this time? Could it be..."

Seeing that Hizashi had seen through him, Fugaku simply stopped pretending. His voice was unusually eerie, and seemed to carry a hint of sneer.

"Why did the Third Hokage take away my position as head of the Security Department with just one sentence? The Second Hokage clearly gave the Security Department to the Uchiha clan back then, along with that brat Elephant, sacrificing the interests of the Uchiha..."

"Clearly...we could have gotten more..."

At this point, the men in black—including Fugaku Uchiha and Setsuna Uchiha, and other older generation Uchiha—all took out kunai.

They weren't prepared to waste so much time with the Hyuga clan.

Although the group opposite them were all wearing masks, their bloodshot eyes and the leader's words easily revealed their identities.

Fugaku, the Uchiha clan leader, and the elders who were "kicked" to the edge by Uchiha Elephant.

Most Hyuga clan ninjas do not believe that they are inferior to the Uchiha clan, as they are both from a renowned family of ocular jutsu.

They even considered this clan, known for having the strongest dojutsu in the ninja world, as their hypothetical enemy.

At this moment, the Hyuga clan, who were preparing to go to Root to provide support, encountered the Uchiha who had "betrayed" Konoha. They would not let this opportunity slip by easily.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the strength of Fugaku Uchiha and his group, and overestimated their own abilities.

Even if they have an overwhelming numerical advantage, even if they launch a joint attack, they still cannot fight against the fundamental difference in strength.

Fugaku alone attacked the Hyuga clan ninjas.

He couldn't detect even a trace of blood on these people; they were all "mediocre" people who had never been on the battlefield!

Without any fancy moves, Fugaku Uchiha deftly turned around and dodged a Hyuga ninja's fist, casually stabbing the opponent's ribs with his kunai.

He quickly ducked to avoid another attack from a Hyuga ninja, and swiftly drew his kunai, drawing blood in the process.

Under his control, the blood splattered directly into the eyes of the Hyuga ninja standing nearby.

The guy whose vision was obstructed was kicked away by Fugaku Uchiha.

With Fugaku having activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, all of the Hyuga ninjas' attack routes were completely exposed.

This is simply a case of being outmatched!

However, he still acted with great restraint.

After all, whether they succeed or fail, the Hyuga clan is not worthy to be the enemy of the Uchiha.

As important combat forces of Konoha, they should not have been slaughtered by him!

Therefore, Fugaku Uchiha only rendered them unable to fight one by one, without taking their lives.

In less than a minute, almost all of the ninjas brought by Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi were taken down by Fugaku.

"After looking for so long, have you figured anything out?"

Fugaku Uchiha narrowed his eyes and sneered disdainfully.

"Except for the fact that I didn't kill him!"

"Clan Chief Fugaku is indeed powerful, but..."

Hiashi Hyuga spoke with a complicated expression, saying that having such an outstanding junior puts a lot of pressure on the clan leader.

It's estimated that the mental state of the Hyuga clan is relatively stable.

"Retreat! You are no match for the Uchiha!"

Uchiha Setsuna spoke impatiently, interrupting Hiashi's nonsense.

After a brief stalemate, Hyuga Hiashi, prompted by Hyuga Hizashi, finally gave in.

……

Within the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Eiji stood on the second-floor balcony, gazing at the Nine-Tails that had suddenly appeared.

The moment he sensed Fugaku and the others quietly leaving the Uchiha clan's territory, he lowered his head and sighed.

Fugaku and his crew ultimately decided to take a gamble, figuring that with him as their safety net, the worst-case scenario wouldn't be too bad.

Given the Uchiha clan's mental state, this is quite normal.

Character determines destiny, and the little elephant decides to let go of its desire to help others and respect their fate.

At most, he'll take good care of Fugaku's wife and children!

"Tsk tsk, first let Nagato destroy the Root base, creating a huge commotion to attract everyone's attention, then I'll take the opportunity to sneak up next to Kushina, lure Minato away, and control the Nine-Tails..."

"Also, have Fugaku and the others take action to stop the Konoha ninjas who are coming to reinforce Root, and incite distrust of the Uchiha among the others..."

When did Obito become so intelligent? Isn't he Kenji?

Could it be that Black Zetsu was giving him advice?

Or did Obito become more clear-headed after being hit?

After fully understanding all of Obito's actions, Uchiha Sō couldn't help but sigh that Obito had indeed grown under his "help".

However, he never intended to stop the Nine-Tails from being released.

Putting aside the fact that, as the apparent owner of the Mangekyou Sharingan, even if Minato trusted him completely, he would still be wary of his contact with Kurama.

Secondly, he also planned to use the Nine-Tails incident to completely eliminate the "rotten" parts of Konoha.

This laid the foundation for the reforms implemented by the Fifth Hokage.

"Yes! I need to seize the opportunity. The Hokage position... here I come!"

Uchiha Sho's gaze turned exceptionally cold at this moment, and a mocking smile appeared on his face as the corners of his mouth turned up.

Thanks to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, for "driving" Jiraiya and Tsunade out of Konoha.

Otherwise, how could he have truly let go and act freely?

"Shisui, Igaku!"

Uchiha Xiang leaped onto the roof to check on the situation in Konoha. The other Uchiha members had already arrived near his home to await orders the moment the incident occurred.

Through Uchiha Sō's actions during this period, they vaguely sensed an impending major change.

"Brother Elephant!"

Shisui and Igaku also vaguely sensed part of Uchiha Sō's plan.

"Immediately notify all personnel in the garrison to cancel their leave and enter a state of high alert."

Furthermore, you will personally be responsible for the evacuation of the villagers and the defense of the clan.

"Hey!"

Shisui and Jingyue exchanged a glance and instantly divided the tasks.

Zhi Shui led a team to be responsible for the evacuation of villagers; his urban management brigade was best suited for this kind of work.

While guarding the Uchiha elders and children, Jingyue also coordinated the police force to maintain stability in Konoha.

As for Uchiha Zang's movements, none of them asked any questions.

A qualified ninja subordinate only needs to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors.

"Next, I should go and check it out on site..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Xiang's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

Chapter 136, Hiruzen Sarutobi, You Have Done a Righteous Death

In Minato Namikaze's house, a flash of light appeared, and Minato Namikaze appeared holding Kushina Uzumaki.

Gently entering the bedroom, Minato Namikaze tenderly placed Kushina Uzumaki beside Naruto.

Looking at the weakened Kushina Uzumaki, he felt immense sorrow.

However, he knew this was not the time to be sad; he still had things to do.

Whether it's his duty as the Fourth Hokage or saving his wife, now is not the time for sadness.

Lowering his head, Minato Namikaze said softly, "Get some rest with Naruto. Everything will be alright when you wake up."

The weakened Kushina Uzumaki lay on her side, looking at the newborn Naruto beside her, a tear glistening in her eyes.

A complex mix of emotions washed over her as she gently pursed her lips, trying hard not to cry.
