Chapter 18: Masked Man
"That's right."
Fugaku looked at Dan with approval, nodded and recalled, "Three years ago, it was clearly Kumogakure who kidnapped Hinata. In order to save his daughter, Hiashi killed the messenger. But under the pressure of the 4th Raikage, in order to calm his anger, the 3rd asked the Hyuga clan to hand over the body of the Hyuga Hizashi."
Dan listened intently, then continued to say:
"The suppression of Konoha's higher-ups against the Uchiha is ten times more than that of the Hyuga clan.
If history repeats itself, in the face of the pressure of the Kumogakure, not only would Konoha's higher-ups not stand on the side of the Uchiha, they would probably be overjoyed and take the opportunity to oppress the Uchiha clan.
At that time, the Uchiha would have to hand over his 'Hyuga Hizashi', or even the head of more clan members."
An example, a teacher for the future.
"Dan, you really understand me and said what I wanted to say."
Fugaku smiled, and the praise in his eyes was even stronger.
He only criticized Dan's stance as "too mild" during the day, but he didn't expect his brother-in-law to correct it so quickly and learn to consider Uchiha's interests.
In Fugaku's view, Dan had exceeded most of his clansmen. It was really rare to see and think from a higher perspective.
After this exchange.
He was even more determined to nurture his future brother-in-law and make him his right-hand man.
But before that.
"So, my suggestion to you is to fire this woman immediately after we return tonight. Don't associate with her in the future. Dan, can you do it?"
Fugaku stared at Dan with burning eyes, waiting for the latter to answer.
"Who knows about the matter of Samui?" Duan asked before giving his answer.
"I personally went to investigate this matter, even Mikoto and Weasel did not know about it."
Fugaku indicated that there was no need to worry, the information would not leak.
Dan nodded, then calmly said, "Then, I want to keep Samui."
What?
Fugaku thought that he had heard wrong, and frowned again, his face full of displeasure, "Dan, do you like this woman so much?"
Yes.
Samui was very beautiful.
In Fugaku's memory, he had only seen one beautiful woman with blond hair, big breasts, and fair skin. She was one of the legendary Three Ninjas, the Princess of Konoha, Tsunade.
Was that why Dan was so reluctant to part with this woman?
"That's not the reason."
"I knew from the beginning that Samui was a spy," Dan shook his head in the face of his brother-in-law's question and told the truth.
As he spoke, he stroked the hair of Samui in his arms as if he was stroking a cat.
What??
Fugaku was shocked again.
No wonder.
When he told Dan that Samui was a spy, Dan was not surprised at all. So he already knew about it.
"Then, why do you keep her by your side all the time?"
Fugaku asked after he came back to his senses.
Because she was very useful. She could be an employee and a nanny.
Dan said this in his heart. It was actually that simple.
However, he also knew that this reason could not satisfy Fugaku, so after thinking for a few seconds, he gave another answer:
"Brother-in-law, since the higher-ups of Konoha are so afraid of Kumogakure, why can't we use this to establish a connection with the Raikage through Samui, or even borrow the power of the other party for the use of our Uchiha clan?"
As soon as this was said.
Fugaku was shocked, and his pupils gradually enlarged, revealing an expression of realization.
As if he had been enlightened.
"I understand, Dan. What you mean is to use this woman as a pawn and use her..."
"Almost."
Dan interrupted. Although he did not know what Fugaku understood, he still followed his words and nodded.
"Since that's the case, I'll leave this woman to you."
Fugaku stood up. As he spoke, he picked up the document and a flame appeared in his palm.
In front of Dan, he burned all the information about Samui to ashes.
"Then I'll go back first."
Dan picked up Samui with a Princess hug and said goodbye to Fugaku.
Lone moon hung high in the air.
Naka river quietly passed the forest of the Uchiha clan.
At the edge of the river stood the ancestral temple of the clan, the Naka Shrine.
Under the cold moonlight, Uchiha Yashiro came to the shrine hall alone. After confirming that no one was following him, he walked in.
In the shrine, under the seventh tatami on the right, there was a secret room.
This was the secret gathering place of the Uchiha clan.
Creak.
When he pushed open the door and entered, he found that the torches on both sides of the secret chamber had been lit. A figure was standing in front of the Uchiha's stone tablet with his back facing him.
"You are here."
The man slowly turned around.
"Greetings, Madara sama." Yashiro bent down and bowed deeply to the other person.
The man in front of him.
He was dressed in black and had long black hair. He wore an orange tiger mask, revealing only one eye.
The first impression he gave was cold and strange.
No one would have thought.
This mysterious masked man was the former clan leader of the Uchiha, a legendary ninja of the world, who was thought to have died a long time ago
Madara Uchiha.
When yashiro saw the masked man for the first time, he only thought that he was a mysterious person, until he was defeated by the latter.
The masked man called himself Uchiha Madara.
Not only did he show the legendary Mangekyo Sharingan to Yashiro, but he also told them many secrets that Yashiro had never heard of.
The masked man said that he went to Yashiro to support the Uchiha's radical faction.
To take revenge on Konoha.
Yashiro believed him.
"Is there any movement in the clan recently? Is the plan going well?" The masked man looked at Yashiro and asked casually.
Yashiro hesitated for a moment and finally said the matter of the Uchiha Dan.
"Oh?"
After listening to Yashiro's report, the masked man became interested in Dan.
He incited Yashiro to rebel against Konoha, not to let the Uchiha clan successfully seize power and become the Hokage.
On the contrary.
He wanted to use Konoha's power to get rid of the Uchiha.
Now.
The idea of Dan was exactly the same as the masked man's, because the Uchiha and Konoha were going to die together, which was what he wanted to see the most.
Thinking of this.
"I will personally come into contact with Uchiha Dan and absorb him."
After the masked man threw down this sentence, with his right eye as the center, a whirlpool-like space twisted and sucked him into it.
He disappeared.
Yashiro was surprised.
Although this was not the first time he had seen the ability of Madara sama, but this kind of ability to casually manipulate space still made him feel amazed.
Is this power of Mangekyo Sharingan?
In Konoha village.
The masked man was like a ghost, all the way here, he seemed to have entered an uninhabited place, and very quickly found the gym in the alley.
"The Physical Modification Department."
He read out the words on the plaque and sneered. He took a few steps forward and his whole body passed through the tightly closed door without any obstruction.
Eh, no one at home?
He entered the dining room and looked around, but he did not find any trace of Dan.
Then... wait a minute.
So.
The masked man walked around and finally pushed open the door of the meditation room. He sat down on the mat and rested his head with his hand on his chin.
Half an hour later.
Just as the masked man was getting impatient and was about to lose his patience, the owner of the gym finally returned.
