"I'm on patrol."
"You're here to pay respects to Obito, right? I'll take you there."
Uchiha Tamahiko said.
Actually, he and Shisui had been patrolling the Uchiha Clan compound these past few days.
They were responsible for dealing with the Anbu who had infiltrated.
But to avoid escalating the conflict, they only used genjutsu to knock out these Anbu and then left them outside the Uchiha compound.
The Anbu themselves were responsible for taking away those who failed their infiltration.
'Then we'll trouble you. Everyone around seems to dislike us very much.'
Might Guy quickly nodded, then whispered to Uchiha Tamahiko.
Kakashi's expression was stiff, as he was also responsible for gathering intelligence, in addition to paying respects to Obito.
But in front of his friend, he couldn't bring himself to be tough.
"I'm with you, it's fine."
Uchiha Tamahiko smiled and patted Might Guy's shoulder.
He had the best relationship with Might Guy; Kakashi and the others of their generation only had some acquaintance.
Everyone in his team had already sacrificed themselves, dying on the battlefield.
Although he had trained very hard at the time, his strength was only comparable to Kakashi's back then.
Without a cheat, how could he catch up to these geniuses?
Then, the group quickly arrived at the cemetery near the Uchiha Clan Ancestral Shrine, where members of the Uchiha Clan were buried.
Might Guy and Kakashi were very serious when paying respects to Obito.
It didn't take much time before they were ready to leave.
However, before leaving, Kakashi looked at Uchiha Tamahiko with a complex expression.
"Can the Uchiha live peacefully with the Village?"
Kakashi couldn't help but ask Uchiha Tamahiko, who was watching the sunset beside him.
"You should ask Konoha about this."
"Why target the Uchiha so much?"
"The Uchiha don't want to end up like the Senju Clan."
Uchiha Tamahiko looked at Kakashi and said to him with a calm expression.
Kakashi's face stiffened, revealing a bitter smile, and he said nothing more.
"Protect that eye of yours. Once you can achieve a state like mine, I will tell you a secret, the truth about Obito and Rin's deaths."
Uchiha Tamahiko suddenly activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and then spoke to Kakashi.
He also felt that Konoha's actions were becoming increasingly pressing, so he wanted to give them a little deterrence, to make them fearful and worried.
Just one more day of delay would be enough. The supplies had basically been collected, and the squad leaders of the Military Police Force had already grasped the general situation.
It was just a matter of time.
"You!"
"The truth about Obito and Rin's deaths, what is it?"
Kakashi was very surprised to see the Mangekyo.
But his attention immediately shifted to the truth about Obito and Rin's deaths.
This was the pain of his life!
"After being so decadent for so long, your strength isn't enough to understand these things."
"But Rin and Obito's deaths were a setup. Once you master the Mangekyo Sharingan, I will tell you the truth."
Uchiha Tamahiko said directly.
Then, no matter how Kakashi pressed him, he said nothing more.
Might Guy wanted to ask something from the side, but in the end, he held back. He knew that if Tamahiko didn't want to talk, he absolutely wouldn't get anything out of him.
Finally, after Uchiha Tamahiko escorted the two out of the Uchiha compound, he instantly vanished before them.
Kakashi, with a heavy expression, bid farewell to Might Guy and then went back to submit his report.
"What exactly do the Uchiha want to do!"
"Is it really going to be war?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a dark face.
He hadn't expected the Uchiha to actually dare to have such a thought.
At this moment, he was worried that one-third of his manpower had not yet been recalled, because rotating defenses on the front lines was not a simple matter.
It required a gradual retreat, so as not to be taken advantage of by other Ninja Villages.
Wanting to decisively deal with the Uchiha was not an easy task, so a large amount of manpower was needed.
"Should we strike first?"
"Take the initiative to attack, catch the Uchiha off guard, and this can reduce considerable losses."
Danzo said.
He was actually almost ready, and at the same time, he threatened the clan leaders of some small clans to make them act together.
"No, if Konoha makes the first move, the clans in the Village will become fearful of us, which is bad for the future."
"And Kakashi reported that the genius of the Uchiha Clan, named Uchiha Tamahiko, also possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan, and his abilities are unknown."
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head.
Uchiha Tamahiko's plan was still successful.
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't actually care too much whether the clans in the Village were fearful or not.
But he was quite wary of the Mangekyo Sharingan's abilities. After all, with Shisui as a precedent, who knew what this Mangekyo's ability was.
He wanted to get more intelligence and act only when he was sure it was safe.
After all, Ninja after the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara no longer fought head-on; intelligence warfare was more important.
"What, the Uchiha Clan has another Mangekyo user!"
Danzo was also shocked.
He knew the Uchiha very well.
These years, he had deliberately controlled the Uchiha Clan's external missions, making them engage in less combat, to prevent the appearance of the Mangekyo.
He hadn't expected that two young people of this generation both possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan!
"Let's wait until we have more manpower."
"However, the surveillance of the Uchiha must be even stricter. We need to confirm any intelligence about what they do after leaving the Uchiha compound."
"Those Anbu who were caught in genjutsu strongly resemble Shisui's work. He may have chosen the Uchiha!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi had already treated this matter as a war.
And, they must win, and without too many casualties!
Moreover, he didn't act immediately, not only because of Uchiha Tamahiko, but also because of Shisui.
Those Anbu who were caught in genjutsu were quickly analyzed, and it was possible that Shisui was the one who acted.
After all, within the Anbu, intelligence regarding enemies caught after Shisui used genjutsu was very easily analyzed.
Two Mangekyo were what Hiruzen Sarutobi feared.
Konoha, Year 56, Autumn.
"The missions have been distributed, and many people are puzzled."
"But after I demonstrated the ability of my Mangekyo, they no longer had any doubts."
Uchiha Fugaku said to Uchiha Tamahiko.
"Tomorrow at five in the morning, we strike directly."
"Population is the most important. Don't bother with things we can't take."
"The things we lose, when we return, we will take them back twofold."
Uchiha Tamahiko nodded and then said.
The time was not chosen for midnight, but for dawn.
This was because this time was when the Anbu changed shifts, and also when the sky was just barely light.
After a night of no movement, no one would expect them to act before dawn.
"Understood."
"Shouldn't we tell Shisui about this?"
Fugaku nodded, then hesitated slightly.
"There can be no mistakes. This concerns the lives of nearly a thousand Uchiha."
"This operation must be as quick as possible. The opening of the passage will be in the very center, so that everyone can come over in the shortest time."
Uchiha Tamahiko shook his head.
Those who had experienced problems could no longer be absolutely trusted.
This time, it was a pledge of allegiance.
Uchiha Fugaku nodded heavily, then went directly to make arrangements.
