Mito's death did not cause much of a stir in Konoha.
In fact, most Konoha ninjas didn't even know until now that this elder, who had rendered great service during the village's establishment and saved Konoha during the First Great Ninja War, had just passed away.
After all, Mito usually kept a low profile, and few people were able to see her. Only a small number of people related to Mito and high-ranking members of various clans knew about her condition.
Therefore, only Konoha's high-ranking officials, Mito's juniors, and the high-ranking members of various clans attended Mito's funeral.
Even Ryoma, who had been avoiding Kazuki recently, brought Fugaku to Mito's funeral, as everyone knew that Kazuki could not and would not make a move at Mito's funeral.
Anyone who dared to make a move would be defying the world.
However, Fugaku's condition attracted the attention of Kazuki and the hidden Tobirama and Hashirama.
"His ocular power is a bit off." Tobirama said, sensing Fugaku's aura. "And he has big brother's aura on him."
At this point, Tobirama's expression became extremely serious. An Uchiha having Hashirama's aura was not a simple matter. These Hashirama cells certainly couldn't have come from them. They hadn't even used Hashirama's cells on their own people yet.
How could they give them to Fugaku?
Everyone knew Fugaku was a political opponent, though neither Kazuki nor Tobirama took him seriously. It was only a matter of time before Kazuki would become the Uchiha clan head. But upon seeing Fugaku, Tobirama noticed a slight difference.
"It is indeed my aura." Hashirama nodded slightly. "So, is it Danzo?"
Actually, if they could, both Hashirama and Tobirama had thought about dealing with Danzo as early as possible.
Danzo's current strength should not be underestimated and he possesses a large amount of intel on Konoha. After all, he was once one of Konoha's highest-ranking officials. Once Danzo chooses to reveal that intelligence, it will be a disaster for Konoha's espionage system.
But Danzo is a good bait, too tempting to give up. He can attract many individuals and organizations dissatisfied with Konoha.
As for those intelligence agents, given Kazuki's current attitude of suppressing the Ninja World, even if other villages discover that these people are connected to Konoha, what can they do?
What if Kazuki declares that he has ninjas missing in their village and then demands to search their village?
To be honest, Kazuki would love to do that.
Fugaku had very few channels to obtain Hashirama's cells, and others wouldn't give him Hashirama's cells, so it was very likely that Fugaku was colluding with Danzo.
Kazuki was bold, willing to let Danzo attract the attention of others outside. Perhaps he can really draw out the masterminds behind the scenes.
"Possibly, but it's also possible that someone else is playing a game." Kazuki said meaningfully.
"Someone else?" Hashirama frowned, he had another guess.
Madara?
Thinking of Madara, Hashirama felt a little emotional. He hadn't seen Madara in a long time. Before his death, he felt guilty towards Madara, after all, it was he who had killed Madara, and Madara was once his best friend. But since Madara was still alive, Hashirama wanted to find him.
However, after searching for a while, he did not find Madara. He then returned and began to cooperate with Kazuki in researching a new Sage Mode. And surprisingly, they actually found some clues.
Kazuki and Hashirama not only wanted to develop the legendary Six Paths Sage Mode, but also wanted to find a Sage Mode suitable for ordinary humans.
Hashirama was naturally happy to see anything that could help Konoha strengthen its foundation.
Now that he heard that this might be related to Madara, how could he not care? How could he not be excited?
"Yes, I have a slight suspicion. Fugaku is not weak." Kazuki's eyes flickered, giving this evaluation.
As a Six Paths-level powerhouse, as long as he wanted to, observing Fugaku's condition was naturally not difficult.
Although he wasn't the reincarnation of Indra Chakra, Fugaku's strength was quite good. At least the current Fugaku has very likely surpassed the original Izuna, and also Tobirama.
This was a strength that should not have appeared on Fugaku.
Even if Fugaku was going to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan in the original timeline, his strength had always been mediocre.
"Big brother's cells, and his eyes are strange. I can feel the faint ocular power emanating from him. This is definitely the Mangekyo Sharingan, and his Mangekyo Sharingan is stronger than an ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan." Tobirama said with a frown and a deep voice.
When it came to understanding the Uchiha, he prided himself on being second to none.
"His eyes are the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan." Kazuki observed Fugaku with a hint of surprise.
"I sensed the aura of Indra's Chakra on him, though not much, but it does contain the Chakra of both Indra and Asura."
Kazuki didn't believe Fugaku would awaken the Rinnegan by relying on the Chakra of Indra and Asura.
Fugaku was not worthy, but was Fugaku really cheating now?
"What? Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan? And the aura of Indra's Chakra? But I feel he still can't compare to Madara."
Tobirama already knew what Indra and Asura were. Hearing Kazuki say this, he looked at Fugaku with surprise and uncertainty.
Is this generation's young Uchiha clan head so powerful?
If it weren't for Kazuki, once he fully matured, probably no one in Konoha would be able to stop him.
