Chapter 70: Fugaku's Mangekyō Sharingan
🕑 Added 2024-08-17 09:46:17 +0000 UTCThe world is full of oddities, and Uchiha holds eight-tenths of them!
This is what Uchiha Akira has always believed.
It’s not just Madara Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, or Obito Uchiha—all of whom were extraordinary.
Even as the head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku Uchiha is a peculiar one too.
First of all, despite having the Mangekyō Sharingan, he always kept it hidden.
Because he feared that if he revealed his Mangekyō Sharingan, it would further incite the Uchiha clan members to start a coup.
Secondly, even though he knew the Uchiha clan was being oppressed by Konoha's leadership, he maintained an attitude of submission, always hoping that retreating would lead to peace.
In Uchiha Akira’s view, while Fugaku Uchiha is indeed a strong individual for having awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, he’s far too indecisive as a clan leader!
Nevertheless, when faced with the Third Hokage and numerous ANBU and shinobi, Fugaku Uchiha brought the top warriors of the clan to support Akira. This act did touch Uchiha Akira's heart a little.
“Clan Head Fugaku, Uchiha Akira has killed Elder Danzo. Such a grave crime must be severely punished!” the Third Hokage declared, his tone forceful as he addressed Fugaku, even after noticing the arrival of Uchiha high-ups led by Fugaku.
“But he is, after all, a member of the Uchiha clan…” Fugaku sighed softly as he began to speak.
“But he killed Elder Danzo. As the Hokage of Konoha, I must give the entire village an explanation!” The Third Hokage interrupted Fugaku sharply before he could finish his sentence.
...
Fugaku Uchiha was trying to negotiate with the Third Hokage.
However, judging by their demeanors, Fugaku seemed to be yielding, while the Third Hokage was more forceful than ever.
As expected, strong in internal conflicts but weak in external ones, Uchiha Akira thought to himself, watching the exchange.
As Uchiha Akira’s body began to succumb to the poison, his entire arm turned purple. A member of the Uchiha clan quickly came over to treat his condition.
At this point, Uchiha Akira had already closed the Eight Gates Formation.
His body was now as limp as if he were burning up with a 40-degree fever, even his consciousness was starting to blur.
The Eight Gates Formation—while immensely powerful—places increasingly severe strain on the body the further one progresses. By the time one opens the eighth and final gate, death is inevitable.
Though Uchiha Akira wouldn’t die from having opened the seventh gate, the toll on his body was severe. In the short term, he was as good as crippled.
He’s already reached the seventh gate? Is this the true power of an Uchiha prodigy?
Behind the Hokage, Might Guy was shocked as he looked at Uchiha Akira.
Might Guy himself had trained in the Eight Gates Formation since he was a child. It had taken him decades to barely reach the seventh gate.
Yet this young Uchiha, in just a few months, had opened the seventh gate?
Such terrifying strength!
But why did Uchiha Akira clash with Danzo? Why did he go so far as to kill him?
...
While everyone else was lost in their thoughts, the Third Hokage remained adamant. Because Danzo had died at Uchiha Akira’s hands, he was determined to execute him on the spot.
As for Danzo’s kidnapping of Keiko?
The Third Hokage claimed there was no direct evidence to prove it!
Besides, Uchiha Akira was now the perpetrator, and Danzo was the victim!
Moreover, the Third Hokage had made up his mind—Uchiha Akira had to die!
On one hand, Uchiha Akira’s talent was terrifying. If given time, he could very well reach the heights of the legendary Madara Uchiha.
After all, even the legendary Madara Uchiha likely didn’t possess such terrifying power at seven years old.
On the other hand, Uchiha Akira had shown killing intent towards him earlier!
Someone who hadn’t been indoctrinated with the Will of Fire was even more dangerous and had to be eliminated!
“That’s enough, Clan Head Fugaku. Stop wasting your breath!”
The Third Hokage had tolerated enough. Seeing that Fugaku was only superficially yielding but not conceding, he finally lost patience. Raising his hand, he issued his final ultimatum: “I’ll say this one last time—Uchiha Akira killed Elder Danzo, and his crime is unforgivable. If you insist on protecting him, as Hokage of Konoha, I’ll have no choice but to take action myself!”
Sigh...
Fugaku sighed in resignation, realizing that the situation had reached a point of no return.
Taking a deep breath, Fugaku slowly closed his eyes.
When he opened them again, a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan gleamed ominously in the light...
