Chapter 71: The Second Pair of Mangekyō Sharingan
Fugaku Uchiha, as the head of the Uchiha clan, has always walked on thin ice.
After all, his shoulders bear the weight of the entire Uchiha clan.
He doesn't mind enduring grievances himself as long as his clan members can continue to live safely.
This has led to many of his decisions being indecisive.
He has even been conciliatory in dealing with the issues between the Uchiha and Konoha.
However, Fugaku knows very well what Uchiha Akira represents for the Uchiha clan!
For a long time, he had considered his son Itachi to be the most outstanding successor of the Uchiha clan.
That is, until Uchiha Akira came along!
In just one year, Akira had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan!
He even killed Danzo.
Such rapid growth made Fugaku see Akira as the future of the Uchiha clan!
Why do the Third Hokage and Danzo insist on killing him?
It's because his talent is terrifying!
And for that reason, Fugaku Uchiha is determined to protect him at all costs!
The tension between the Uchiha clan and Konoha's leadership had already reached a breaking point, just one straw away from breaking the camel's back.
Now, Uchiha Akira's existence seems to be that final straw!
Having made up his mind to protect Akira at any cost, Fugaku, who had always been
conciliatory, finally stood his ground!
With a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan staring directly at the Third Hokage, Fugaku Uchiha's expression became stern.
"Mangekyō... Fugaku Uchiha, he... he actually awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan!?"
The Third Hokage, who had been pressing forward, couldn't help but change his expression upon seeing Fugaku's Mangekyō.
The Third Hokage knew very well what the Mangekyō sharingan represented!
Beyond the enhanced insight and other abilities, the Mangekyō Sharingan's true terror lies in its unique eye techniques!
And Fugaku Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan was an unknown variable.
So, the Third Hokage thought he should proceed with caution.
Who would have thought? Fugaku Uchiha has a Mangekyō Sharingan and has kept it hidden so well!
Seeing Fugaku's Mangekyō, the Third Hokage's heart sank.
If he's kept his Mangekyō a secret, what could he be plotting?
Otherwise, why would he hide it so deeply?
"Mangekyō... The clan head has awakened the Mangekyō! This is wonderful!"
Behind Fugaku, the other Uchiha clan members, upon seeing Fugaku's Mangekyō, were filled with excitement and joy!
Initially, seeing their clan head being so conciliatory in negotiations with the Third Hokage, the elite Uchiha members felt extremely frustrated.
But now, seeing their clan head finally take a stand and even reveal his Mangekyō Sharingan, they were all greatly encouraged!
The legendary Mangekyō Sharingan-no one would have thought that their usually mild- mannered clan head had actually awakened such power!
Caught between a rock and a hard place...
At this moment, the Third Hokage found himself in a difficult position.
He had always kept the Uchiha under pressure and had believed that as long as he remained forceful, Fugaku would back down, just as he always had.
But today, Fugaku was standing firm, even revealing his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Even though the Third Hokage had numerous ANBU and shinobi on his side, the Uchiha clan had also brought out their best warriors.
If a battle were to break out tonight, even if they won, it would be a pyrrhic victory.
...
"Who would have thought? My father also awakened the Mangekyō sharingan?"
As the Uchiha clan and the Third Hokage stood in a tense standoff, Uchiha Itachi watched from
a distance, perched in a tree, whispering to himself.
Itachi hadn't expected that after Danzo targeted Shisui, he would go after Akira as well!
Even more surprising was that Akira had single-handedly taken down Danzo!
But none of that mattered.
What mattered now was that the Uchiha clan and Konoha were on the brink of all-out war.
If a fight broke out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
This was precisely the scenario Itachi had been trying to avoid.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Itachi decided it was time for him to intervene to try and ease the tension between the two sides.
With a determined thought, Itachi's figure flickered, and he appeared at the scene, standing beside Fugaku Uchiha.
Taking a deep breath, Itachi closed his eyes.
Then, as he opened them again, another set of Mangekyō Sharingan-those of the three- pronged windmill pattern-appeared before everyone...
