Chapter 16: Choice
He looked at Uchiha Fugaku and suddenly froze, that's right, just like the person in front of him!
'What's this guy spacing out for?'
Fugaku noticed Hyuga Hiashi staring blankly at him and frowned, somewhat displeased.
Nara Shikaku, who was nearby, noticed this and lightly coughed.
Hyuga Hiashi shivered, quickly came back to his senses, and awkwardly said, "Lord Fugaku, as you said, there is indeed a person in that forest, and their strength is not weak."
Hyuga Hiashi hesitated in his heart, wondering whether to tell Uchiha Fugaku about his discovery.
He opened his mouth but decided not to speak. Since Uchiha Fugaku knew there was someone in the forest, perhaps that person was from the Uchiha Clan, as their Chakra was so similar.
Fugaku narrowed his eyes, looking at the small forest. From his angle, he couldn't see anything, he couldn't see Uchiha Obito at all.
He sneered inwardly, 'You little brat, you're really here, waiting for Uchiha Itachi, aren't you?'
'Obito, oh Obito, you definitely wouldn't expect Itachi to be under the Nanga Shrine right now, would you?'
'Itachi should probably be awake by now, maybe even wriggling around like a worm there.'
Fugaku looked at the small forest, lost in thought. So, how should he deal with Uchiha Obito, this foolish dog?
Most of the Uchiha Clan members are mentally ill because Chakra stimulates the brain, causing lesions. Clinical symptoms are extremism and paranoia.
And Uchiha Obito is a prime example among them, too paranoid, and then being used and corrupted, he later committed a series of heinous acts like killing his master and his master's wife.
Fugaku felt that Obito couldn't be redeemed; he never liked this character from beginning to end.
For him, knowing Obito's weaknesses, while Obito didn't know his intelligence, didn't know he had activated the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
It would be very easy for him to kill Obito now, but killing Obito wouldn't solve the core problem.
Black Zetsu was still behind the scenes causing trouble.
He at least knew the plot development. If he killed Uchiha Obito here, what would that old trickster Black Zetsu do? Then his advantage of knowing the plot would be gone.
This put Fugaku in a dilemma.
If Black Zetsu had also come, it would be great. He could just nip Black Zetsu, the source, in the bud and celebrate the end!
But there was no such good thing.
Fugaku sighed.
Nara Shikaku, observing his expression, noticed Fu Yue's troubled look, rolled his eyes, and said, "Fifth Hokage, do you have something on your mind? Why don't you tell us? We can all brainstorm together to help you."
'Fifth Hokage~'
Hyuga Hiashi rolled his eyes. Nara Shikaku, this cunning old fox, Uchiha Fugaku hadn't even become the Fifth Hokage yet, and he was already calling him the Fifth Hokage. How shameless!
Hyuga Hiashi felt immense contempt for Nara Shikaku in his heart. 'Isn't it just giving you the position of Hokage Assistant? Look at you, acting like such a sycophant!'
"Hmm?"
But when Uchiha Fugaku's gaze swept over, Hyuga Hiashi, who had been despising Nara Shikaku in his heart just a second ago, squeezed out a faint smile from his heart the next second~
Fugaku's gaze didn't stop, sliding past Hyuga Hiashi to land on Nara Shikaku.
Hyuga Hiashi's expression changed like a chameleon, putting away his smile. He comforted himself inwardly: "I am absolutely not bowing to Uchiha Fugaku for the Hokage Advisor position; it's just that the Hyuga Clan rarely gets a chance to enter Konoha's high ranks. I can't lose sight of the bigger picture~"
Fugaku pondered for a moment, unsure whether to reveal the matter of Uchiha Obito, but after thinking it over, he decided against it.
"Sigh, never mind, it's useless to tell you guys."
There were too many eyes and ears here; it wasn't suitable to discuss Black Zetsu's matter here.
Fugaku rubbed his eyes, hardened his heart, and finally made up his mind: 'Anyway, I have a pair of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, am I really afraid of a petty old trickster like you?'
'Let's do it!'
A sharp glint flashed in Fu Yue's eyes. Uchiha Obito, this cancer, still had to be dealt with. Keeping him would do him no good. The butterfly's wings had already flapped; he had already changed the plot, so what was there to be afraid of?
In the current Ninja World, few could directly contend with his pair of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. He wasn't even particularly afraid of the Six Paths of Pain.
Nagato was a sick man now; how long could he last? He could just use a perfect Susanoo and exhaust Nagato to death.
So, thinking about those useless things was pointless!
Since I've come to the Fire Shadow World, let me write a new future!
After making up his mind, Fugaku no longer procrastinated. He instructed, "You two wait here, don't come over."
With that, Fugaku strode out, walking towards the small forest with a harmless demeanor.
Nara Shikaku and Hyuga Hiashi exchanged glances.
"What did you see?"
Nara Shikaku broke the deadlock, cautiously asking.
He thought back to Hyuga Hiashi's daze just now, and then his hesitant look after speaking. He cleverly guessed that the old man must have discovered something else he hadn't revealed.
Hyuga Hiashi withdrew his gaze from Uchiha Fugaku's back, glanced sideways at the curious Nara Shikaku, and remained silent with a serious expression.
Nara Shikaku pouted. 'Big brother, are you still trying to maintain your image? Isn't it a bit late? I saw your face change clearly just now.'
Tap, tap.
The sound of footsteps on dry leaves came.
The black-robed masked man, who had been motionless like a stone statue, finally reacted slightly. He raised his head slightly, and the single remaining hole in his mask turned towards the direction of the sound.
A crimson light flashed beneath the single hole.
'Is he here?'
Uchiha Obito silently watched the approaching figure.
'As expected of the genius I value, his ocular power is so immense. In just half a month, can his ocular power increase so quickly? Truly incredible.'
The approaching person's ocular power emanated as if no one else was present, and that ominous Chakra flowed. To Uchiha Obito, who also possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, the other party was like the only bright lamp shining in the dark night.
So dazzling, so hot…
Wait.
The height and build seem…
Did his body grow so fast in half a month? Is it a growth spurt?
Although Uchiha Obito noticed the anomaly, he didn't take it to heart.
Half a month ago, he had infiltrated the Uchiha Clan. Apart from Uchiha Itachi, everyone else in the Uchiha Clan was useless. No one else had the talent to awaken the Mangekyo.
The person approaching was clearly a Mangekyo Sharingan user; a Three-Tomoe Sharingan couldn't possibly have more ocular power than him.
But why was he coming with his Mangekyo activated now? Had he been discovered?
Doubt surged in Uchiha Obito's heart, then he sighed with emotion: "As expected of the genius I value, so perceptive…"
As soon as this thought arose in his mind, he saw a complex and exquisite hexagonal windmill Mangekyo rotating under the moonlight.
Before he could react, he froze in place.
"Where is this place?"
Uchiha Obito found himself suddenly in an unfamiliar environment and calmly looked around.
He found himself standing on a giant floating island.
