It wasn't just Black and White Zetsu who saw it; Fugaku's massive chakra giant was seen by all the Allied Forces focusing on this part of the war.
The Senju Clan was the first to react.
"The Mangekyo Sharingan?! Damn it, Uchiha Fugaku has also awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan!"
The Senju Clan was the clan that opposed the Uchiha Clan during the Warring States Period.
Only the Senju Clan could defeat the Uchiha Clan.
In the setting, Genjutsu isn't exclusive to the Uchiha; the Uchiha Clan is simply able to use the Sharingan to cast Genjutsu without hand signs.
During battle, when both hands are occupied with forming hand signs, releasing Genjutsu through the eyes provides a massive advantage.
In terms of the creativity of techniques, whether it's Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, or Genjutsu, the Senju Clan is number one.
Many of Konoha's basic Genjutsu, such as the Sly Mind Affect Technique, the Mist Servant Technique, the False Surroundings Technique... are all techniques of the Senju Clan.
If a technique belongs to Konoha and its origin cannot be found, it was likely created by the Senju Clan.
The Senju Clan relied on an endless stream of techniques and powerful physical fitness to counter the Uchiha Clan's formidable chakra and ocular power.
But by the era of the Five Great Nations, the Senju Clan had become extremely mediocre, with the exception of Tsunade.
The people of the Village even thought their clan had disbanded on its own!
Hashirama and Tobirama drained the Senju Clan's fortune, leading to everyone only remembering Tsunade whenever the Senju Clan is mentioned.
Furthermore, Tsunade's style of Ninjutsu doesn't belong to the Senju Clan's system; she follows the Shikkotsu Forest system.
The one who best represents the Senju Clan's system is Tobirama.
Possessing powerful physical fitness while simultaneously having countless techniques.
In Konoha, the Senju Clan became increasingly mediocre, while the Uchiha Clan produced more and more geniuses.
Gyokushun, Mōmō, and other Jonin of the Senju Clan had special communication channels with the Konoha higher-ups; they knew that Shisui had previously awakened the Mangekyo.
If you count Madara and Fugaku as well, the Uchiha now have three people who have awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Not only that, but the Uchiha also have many people with the talent for the Mangekyo.
Leading the pack is Ryou, who possessed Mangekyo ocular power even with just three tomoe, and Ryou's nephew—Itachi.
Awakening the Two-Tomoe Sharingan at such a young age can truly be called extraordinary talent.
Then there's that half-faced guy named Obito; with White Zetsu organs implanted, his physical fitness has surpassed that of the Senju Clan.
Becoming a Jonin at such a young age, he is also a genius.
The more excellent the Uchiha Clan becomes, the more uncomfortable the Senju Clan feels.
They would rather see their enemies become this excellent than see their arch-rivals show off like this.
The Uchiha's excellence only makes the Senju Clan want to destroy them even more.
If they can't catch up, then they can only destroy!
Everyone in the Shinobi Allied Forces was astonished to see Fugaku's Susanoo.
"Is that someone from the Uchiha Clan's Police Force?"
"No wonder Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Ryou have such powerful strength; it turns out this entire clan is made of such powerful people!"
"I heard that in the Warring States Period, only the Senju Clan could be compared to the Uchiha Clan. If one country hired the Uchiha, its rival country would hire the Senju to counter them."
"Doesn't Konoha still have a Senju Clan? Where are the people of the Senju Clan? Why haven't I seen them?"
Gyokushun hurriedly turned around, prominently displaying the Senju Clan's crest—the simplified tree-like symbol.
Right here, the Senju Clan is right here! We, the Senju, have also joined the war!
But no one around him saw it.
"They probably didn't come, or maybe the whole clan died out and disbanded!"
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Gyokushun clenched his fists in frustration, his knuckles cracking.
The Senju Clan's presence had become even lower than that of the Aburame Clan, to the point that people automatically assumed they had all died out or disbanded.
"No, we can't let the Uchiha Clan take all the spotlight. Our Senju Clan needs to rebuild its reputation as well."
"Make the Senju Great Again!"
Gyokushun wanted to lead his clansmen into the great battle to restore the Senju Clan's prestige.
The way to become great again was to earn a fearsome reputation.
The Senju Clan wasn't mediocre; they still had many Jonin.
They just lacked a representative figure.
Originally it was Tsunade, but after she married Ryou, she was selectively forgotten by the Senju Clan.
They couldn't accept that the Uchiha Clan had married the princess of the Senju Clan, but they lacked the ability to take her back, and they didn't dare to commit the outrage of cutting ties with Tsunade.
Or kicking her out of the clan registry.
Tsunade carries the purest blood of Konoha; even if you were to look at her very lifeblood, the words 'Will of Fire' would be engraved upon it.
Gyokushun was just about to lead the Senju Clan into battle, but he suddenly froze.
The battlefield had now been split into two sections.
One was for Duy and Satori; they were trading high-speed blows with fists and kicks, turning the surrounding area into a no-man's land.
Even Elite Jonin didn't dare to get involved.
The other section was for Sasori and the Uchiha Clan.
Looking at Sasori's steel monster form, it was clear that only Forbidden Jutsu like Susanoo could contend with him.
What could the Senju Clan use to fight if they went up there?
Gyokushun suddenly noticed the Shinobi Cats peeking out from the opposite side. His eyes lit up, and he pointed across, saying, "Everyone, listen up! We're charging over there to take the enemy camp directly!"
"Charge!"
Gyokushun was the first to rush forward.
"(__)ノ|"
The Jonin of the Senju Clan looked at each other, seeing the speechlessness in each other's eyes.
Not a single person was willing to follow Gyokushun.
Even if they weren't as good as the Uchiha, they still had their dignity.
What kind of joke is it to go and take advantage of a bunch of Shinobi Cats?
Mōmō looked toward the area where the Uchiha Clan's Susanoo was fighting Sasori.
Compared to the god-tier fight between Duy and Satori, the battle over here wasn't quite as off the charts yet.
Even if the Senju Clan couldn't lead the attack, they could still provide support.
For example, the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique; this was only a B-rank Genjutsu, not a Forbidden Jutsu, and the Genjutsu Jonin of the Senju Clan could easily learn it.
There was also Medical Ninjutsu; Konoha's high-level Medical Ninjutsu was monopolized by the Senju Clan.
Sensory Ninjutsu—
Even if the Senju Clan didn't lead the charge, their support capabilities were maxed out.
But to fight side-by-side with the Uchiha Clan...
This—
Mōmō glanced at the young Shinobi of the Senju Clan who were watching the battle, all of them filled with curiosity about Fugaku's Susanoo.
It was said that the Senju Clan was an existence capable of rivaling the Uchiha Clan, but what did the Senju Clan have to counter a Susanoo like that?
Were the clan elders just bragging?
Mōmō suddenly realized that fifty years had already passed since the Warring States Period.
The new generation of Shinobi was already the fourth generation.
There is no hatred without a cause, and there is no love without a cause.
The elders in the clan taught them that the Uchiha Clan was an evil clan and that they should always be wary of them.
But what reason did they have to hate the Uchiha Clan?
That hatred was too distant; they had only heard about it from the clan elders.
But Shinobi have a vicious tradition: most of the excellent Shinobi die in battle.
Old Shinobi are either powerful or completely incompetent; they are the ones who seize the right to speak once the talented ones have all died off.
Can their prejudices be trusted?
Prejudice in a person's heart is a mountain; no matter how hard you try, it's difficult to move even an inch.
Right now, the Uchiha were fighting for the Village, for the Shinobi Allied Forces, and for the Shinobi World.
Even though the two bosses on the opposite side were members of their Uchiha Clan, and the Allied Forces looked at them with strange looks while the Anbu monitored them...
They still dealt with Ryou without any complaints.
Was this not worth trusting?
