Chapter 120: Steve (Bonus)
[Thanks! next 1k Powerstone for 3 Chapters every Monday!]
"Wait, you can't leave!" Uchiha Fugaku hurriedly called out when he saw Fang Mo about to depart.
"Ah, Clan Head, you're here."
After holding back his emotions for several days, Fang Mo couldn't contain his amusement any longer and grinned, saying, "Do you really believe what I said was nonsense?"
"I... believe you."
Uchiha Fugaku's expression flickered as he spoke in a serious tone.
Yes, he had changed his mind. Though Fang Mo's words seemed unbelievable, upon careful consideration, they made some sense.
Fugaku had heard about the incident involving Uchiha Obito. It was said that Obito died on a mission, and one of his eyes was given to Kakashi Hatake, the son of the White Fang. If everything Fang Mo said was true and it was all part of Uchiha Madara's plan, then it wasn't entirely implausible.
Especially when Fang Mo mentioned the forbidden jutsu "Edo Tensei," which could summon the deceased back to life.
The old house where Obito lived still existed. If they found a strand or two of Obito's hair to perform Edo Tensei and it failed, proving that Obito was still alive, the possibility of Fang Mo's claims being true would increase.
As for Danzo...
Fugaku was aware of his desire for the Sharingan. After all, the Uchiha clan's bloodline was powerful, and outsiders had coveted it for a long time. The neighboring Hyuga clan even used a caged bird seal to prevent their eyes from being stolen.
It was a precaution to safeguard their bloodline.
Fugaku carefully considered Fang Mo's words.
Assuming everything Fang Mo said was true, he, as the clan head, had no power to save the Uchiha clan, especially in the Nine-Tails incident. The higher-ups in the village no longer trusted the Uchiha clan.
If they did nothing, they would be blamed.
But if they took action, Danzo would continue to target the Uchiha clan, using insubordination as a reason. Moreover, Danzo was a trusted confidant of the Third Hokage. If Fugaku and Danzo were to speak out simultaneously, the Third Hokage would undoubtedly trust the veteran Danzo more.
It was a dead end. As long as Danzo continued to covet the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan and the Konoha leadership couldn't reach a consensus. Fugaku couldn't deal with Danzo either, as he was a close associate of the Third Hokage.
"I will convince the clan elders," Fugaku pondered for a moment before speaking firmly, "From now on, you are the true Uchiha Madara!"
"No, no, that won't do." Fang Mo was getting a bit tired of pretending to be Uchiha Madara. "I don't know any Genjutsu, and my Sharingan is fake. How can I be Uchiha Madara?"
"I can give you my eyes," Fugaku said resolutely.
"Really?" Fang Mo was surprised. "You people from the ninja world can swap eyes so easily? Do you all give big eyeballs to neighbors for the New Year?"
"We have spare eyes in the clan. I can replace mine," Fugaku explained. "I don't care who you are or what your purpose is. If you've shared these secrets with me, it means you have a plan. As long as you can ensure the safety of the Uchiha clan, I'll help you achieve your goal."
Rumors had already spread about Uchiha Madara's return and his confrontations with the Third Hokage and Danzo. This filled the Uchiha clan members with immense pride and joy, and they wholeheartedly welcomed their ancestor's comeback, even though the circumstances were unexpected.
However, Fang Mo hadn't yet figured out how to influence the Uchiha clan members' thinking. The potent power of the Sharingan often caused mental instability among the Uchiha, leading to extreme and radical thoughts.
Controlling them solely through the identity of Uchiha Madara wouldn't be enough. Fang Mo needed to find a way to channel their determination and pride in a positive direction.
After pretending to be Uchiha Madara for several days, Fang Mo couldn't maintain the act any longer. He asked Fugaku to find him a place to rest and contemplate his next steps.
The next morning, Fang Mo woke up early. Without the assistance of the White Queen Emma, he had lost the ability to dream, so he didn't oversleep. He immediately set his plan in motion.
First, he greeted Uchiha Fugaku and requested him to collect some of Uchiha Obito's hair to prepare for Impure World Reincarnation. Fugaku recognized this as an opportunity to verify Fang Mo's intentions and promptly began working on the task.
After sending Fugaku on his way, Fang Mo left the Uchiha clan's residence and casually inquired on the streets before heading to the Uzumaki household.
He knocked on the door, and soon, a voice came from inside.
However, the person who opened the door was not Minato but a red-haired girl.
"Are you... looking for Minato?" The red-haired girl, Kushina Uzumaki, was surprised to see 'Uchiha Madara' at the door. Before Fang Mo could speak, Minato rushed out.
"Madara-senpai," Hashirama said, calmly pulling Kushina behind him. "Is there something you want to discuss with me?"
Upon Hashirama's abrupt arrival, a gust of wind blew towards Fang Mo.
Smelling the scent in the air, Fang Mo raised an eyebrow.
"The scent is quite strong..."
Unable to contain Uchiha Madara's arrogance, Fang Mo couldn't help but comment, "So, do you still have the strength to use shurikens today? The Golden Flash of Konoha?"
"..."
Hearing this, both of their faces turned red.
