I Am Fugaku Uchiha

Fugaku felt a rush of excitement coursing through him. This sensation, he realized, was unlike anything he had experienced before.

The massive toad beneath him possessed an extraordinary bouncing prowess, propelling them forward with remarkable speed. With each jump, Fugaku soared more than ten feet high, the wind whipping against his face as they traversed the landscape.

Meanwhile, in the chaotic battle unfolding below, Gamabunta confronted Satori. With a swift and determined motion, Gamabunta swung his sword horizontally, aiming to strike down the agile opponent who had unleashed a barrage of feathers upon them. However, Satori, displaying an uncanny anticipation, effortlessly evaded the attack, which defied the toad's mighty swing.

The toad's colossal landings trembled on the ground, and Fugaku clung to the toad's back, his senses heightened by the adrenaline coursing through his veins.

"Hey, Gamabunta, where are you going? Are we running away?" Jiraiya asked, his surprise evident in his voice.

Having dodged his sword attack, Jiraiya observed Gamabunta continuing to move forward without looking back. Amidst the ongoing chaos, Gamabunta's steady progression raised questions in Jiraiya's mind.

Gamabunta replied without breaking stride, "Of course, that was my plan from the start. He can detect killing intent; we can't win against him in a head-on fight. Is someone controlling Satori?"

"Nope."

"Then he's gone berserk, and he can do whatever he wants after putting the others in the box. There are only two ways to stop him: one is to put him back in the box, and the other is to kill him. But with his ability, killing him is very hard."

As Gamabunta spoke, he leaped out of the castle, and to their relief, the monstrous foe did not follow.

Fugaku and Jiraiya dismounted from Gamabunta's head and directed their attention towards the shadowy castle. Their faces wore grim expressions as they contemplated the daunting challenge.

The menacing monster concealed within the darkness possessed the ability to fly and an uncanny foresight that allowed him to evade their attacks. The gravity of the situation hung in the air as they assessed the limited options available to halt the threat posed by Satori.

"Hey, doesn't the legend say that it can grant wishes?" Fugaku asked, puzzled, recalling the tale that Komeko had shared with him.

"That's just a foolish myth, kid. There's no such thing in this world. What are your wishes? World peace? Money? The whole world? Whatever you desire, you can only get it with your own strength. But what comes out of that box is wicked and evil," Gamabunta retorted.

"Can everything be obtained with strength?" Fugaku was momentarily stunned by Gamabunta's response before questioning, "Hey, you're Gamabunta, right? My name is Uchiha Fugaku."

Gamabunta peered at Fugaku on the ground, clad in samurai gear, expressing surprise. "An Uchiha? I didn't expect Jiraiya to bring someone from the Uchiha clan along."

"I have a question for you," Fugaku continued. Gamabunta remained silent, waiting for Fugaku to elaborate.

"You mean, anything I want can be achieved with strength? So if I wish to travel to a different world, can I do that with strength too?"

Taken aback by this unexpected inquiry, Gamabunta smirked, "Sure, as long as your space ninjutsu is good enough, you can even shuttle between different worlds at will."

Fugaku was shocked by this revelation. Space ninjutsu? How could he forget that possibility? He had always wondered if he could return to his own world with the pendant, but he never considered improving his strength to the point where he could do so.

Now that Gamabunta had reminded him, he realized how sidetracked he had been. There were various types of space ninjutsu in this world, and Fugaku was well-versed in them. Kaguya could connect multiple spaces, and even Orochimaru and Obito had their own separate spaces. Kaguya could traverse the six spaces at will, so couldn't he do the same if he reached a certain level of strength?

With this newfound realization, he could not only travel through time but also choose any world to live in. Maybe he could even bring his family from different worlds together.

"Hahaha!" Fugaku, now filled with grand ambition, laughed heartily. "Why didn't I think of this before? I was such a fool."

Gamabunta and Jiraiya exchanged surprised glances, wondering if Fugaku had lost his mind.

After regaining his composure, Fugaku turned to Gamabunta and said, "Gamabunta, thank you for the reminder. Can you take me there now?"

"No... Don't thank me. These are all things the old man told me. But what are you going to do there?" Gamabunta questioned him, finding Fugaku's ambitions a bit perplexing.

Fugaku smiled and said slowly, "I want to see how far I am from the weapon in the Six Paths Era."

"Monster..." Miyamoto whispered in horror as he cowered in the corner of a ruin, witnessing the capture of the last two criminals in the square.

The white-haired one and the samurai had proven to be strong ninjas, far beyond anything he had anticipated when he hatched his ill-fated plan.

He couldn't fathom that the creature he had intended to unleash was such a terrifying monster.

As panic gripped him, he contemplated escaping, but the fear of the monster's attention kept him rooted in place.

In his distracted state, a sharp edge of the wall cut his arm, eliciting a cry of pain.

His cry reached Satori, who slowly turned his head, fixing his gaze on Miyamoto. A sinister grin played on Satori's face as he spoke, "So it was you, hehehe. Did you and my brother plot to kill me?"

With a flap of his wings, Satori's massive form landed near Miyamoto with a resounding thud.

Approaching with menace, Satori's presence overwhelmed Miyamoto, causing him to collapse in terror, unable to control his bodily functions.

"No… It's not me... It was your brother's idea. Yes, it was him. Please… Please spare me!" Miyamoto pleaded desperately.

"Repent in the box!" Satori commanded, extending his claw to seize Miyamoto.

However, a sudden twist of fate interrupted the impending doom. Miyamoto's widened eyes saw someone descending from above, growing larger with each passing moment. He is making bizarre hand signs.
