Obito looked at Fugaku, let out a sigh, and slowly said, "Clan Leader means to say, the Uchiha are a clan of love, who, because of strong mental stimulation, turn love into hate, and from then on walk into extremes and self-destruction, right?"
"So, even without me, similar tragedies would still happen."
Fugaku was stunned, "That really is a very fitting way of putting it, even better than the adjectives I thought of. Our Uchiha truly are a clan of love."
Obito smiled, "Actually, Clan Leader, these words were said by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama."
"Sometimes, an enemy may know you better than you know yourself."
Fugaku couldn't help but cough. He had been thinking of spreading the name of the Uchiha as the Clan of Love, but never expected it came from Senju Tobirama's words.
Although within the clan there were indeed quite a few who admired the Second Hokage, such as the Shisui line, even more people, like the Second Elder Uchiha Setsuna. If he learned the Uchiha were promoting Tobirama's sayings, wouldn't he explode on the spot?
So, this thought instantly died in Fugaku's mind.
He only said, "Obito, I don't mean to blame you. On the contrary, only after making one mistake can a person gain experience the second time, walking more steadily and smoothly."
"I believe under your leadership, the Uchiha will grow more prosperous."
Of course, there was something Fugaku didn't say out loud: even if Obito's crime was unforgivable, did he really plan to lay a hand on him?
Reports from the frontlines said Obito's Susanoo was taller than a mountain, one strike enough to destroy the heavens and earth. Compared to that, the earlier report from Sunagakure about a giant crater blasted open near the village wasn't any less terrifying.
Under these circumstances, to pursue Obito's responsibility for the clan's destruction, wasn't that the same as wanting the Uchiha to be wiped out again?
Obito naturally knew what Fugaku was thinking, and smiled, "The Uchiha clan is still for the Clan Leader to worry about. But as compensation, I should fulfill my promise and give the Uchiha some benefits."
Fugaku thought a moment, "Is this the experiment you mentioned before, to resolve the side effects of the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Obito nodded, "The experiment is already mature. Clan Leader, do you want to undergo the transplant now?"
"Transplant?", Fugaku didn't quite understand. But to say he wasn't tempted would be a lie, especially now, with one monster after another appearing in the ninja world, to the point that he could hardly understand the fighting styles of ninjas anymore.
You thought assassination, traps, and close combat were effective? In front of great wars and great Susanoo, they were as laughable as could be.
He said, "Though I don't know what you mean by transplant, if it can solve the side effects of the Mangekyo, I'm willing to try."
After a pause, Fugaku asked another question, "By the way, that Obito from the other world… how did you deal with him?"
Obito looked at Fugaku and suddenly revealed his Eternal Twin-Kamui Mangekyo, "Of course I dealt with him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to obtain these eyes."
Fugaku saw the pattern in Obito's pupils was twice as complex as before, and suddenly recalled what he had once read on the Uchiha stone tablet, understanding dawning.
"No wonder your Susanoo can rival Lord Madara's. So you've already fused two Mangekyo powers and evolved into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."
Just as Fugaku finished speaking, Obito had already used his eyes to open a passage into his Kamui dimension laboratory.
"Clan Leader, come in. What I mean by transplant is the transplantation of Hashirama cells. Hashirama cells can bring enormous Yang-nature chakra to the body, with excellent healing effects. Naturally, they can resolve the Mangekyo's drawbacks."
"Hashirama cells?", Fugaku's pupils shrank. As the Uchiha Clan Leader, of course he knew Konoha had once experimented in this area, at the cost of many lives.
He hadn't expected that while Konoha's techniques were still immature, Obito already had them working.
Unconsciously, he stepped into the laboratory.
Obito went to the many culture dishes, took out one containing Hashirama cells, and brought it over to Fugaku.
"Clan Leader Fugaku, I'll just cut a small wound on your hand and implant the Hashirama cells. The fusion process will be painful, but even a non-Uchiha with a three-tomoe Sharingan can easily suppress it. I don't think you'll run into any problems."
Fugaku was startled. From Obito's words, he caught a key piece of information, "You mean Hashirama cells can be suppressed with the Sharingan, but what's this about a non-Uchiha with three tomoe?"
Obito showed a faint, ambiguous smile, "Of course, I took the Sharingan you gave me and used it to experiment on a little girl. The experiment has already succeeded. So now, in Konoha, there's a ninja who is neither Uchiha nor Senju, yet possesses both Hashirama cells and the Sharingan. I think Clan Leader won't mind that, right?"
Fugaku showed a speechless expression. Even if he minded, could he really control Obito?
Besides, the significance of this experiment was too great. If it succeeded, it would be of huge benefit to the Uchiha. Though the Uchiha couldn't accept letting their bloodline leak out, it wasn't entirely without room for maneuver.
Fugaku asked, "Who is this girl?"
Obito said, "Her name is Sato Yuki, the younger sister of Zero, the Iwagakure spy involved in the Hokage Building explosion case. Clan Leader Fugaku should have heard of it."
Fugaku had already forgotten. After all, there were too many ordinary Konoha ninjas for him to remember one by one.
But that didn't stop him from saying, "Isn't there a possibility of making this Sato Yuki become Uchiha Yuki, carrying the Uchiha name? Either have an Uchiha adopt her as a foster daughter, or have her marry in?"
Obito thought for a moment, then said, "Sato Yuki currently values her family name very highly, just like Sasuke in another world, swearing to revive and glorify her clan. She'll likely defend her surname to the death."
"I could force her, but I'm not some devil."
"But…", A somewhat sinister smile appeared on Obito's face, "This matter, Clan Leader can handle yourself. Or, when she's a bit older, simply use the Uchiha Handsome-Man Plan. As long as it's not forced, I won't interfere in how you act."
Uchiha Fugaku coughed. The Uchiha Handsome-Man Plan was truly too wicked. Though the Uchiha had plenty of handsome men, most of them didn't care much for women. Even he himself had only married Mikoto when he was older and had to succeed as Clan Leader.
Though after marriage, tasting Mikoto's sweetness had changed his thoughts somewhat. But that was something only to be felt, not spoken of.
As for the young Uchiha, not everyone liked women like Obito did. To make them give up their looks would be harder than killing them.
Might even trigger them to awaken a Sharingan on the spot.
'Eh, wait, that actually seems like another method of opening the eyes.'
Fugaku had originally wanted to flatly say "absolutely impossible," but suddenly changed it to, "I'll consider it. I'll discuss it in a meeting. As for that Sato Yuki, since she's your person, I'll restrain the clansmen from causing her trouble."
