Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 11 Fugaku's Death

"Knock knock knock".

There was a knock on the office door, and Fugaku called out, "Come in."

He was a squad leader in the security forces, someone I knew well, and I also knew his chakra well.

"Is there something you need?"

"Captain, the village's higher-ups have a lot of complaints about how our garrison handles disputes."

High-level?

Fugaku frowned; the higher-ups' dissatisfaction with the Uchiha clan had been brewing for quite some time.

The so-called dissatisfaction of the villagers is nothing more than an excuse.

They've only just helped the Fourth Hokage, and those guys are already so impatient?

Taking the record in front of him, Fugaku began to read it.

However, the next moment...

"puff!"

Fugaku's chest was pierced in an instant, and blood dripped continuously.

The sudden attack caught Fugaku completely off guard.

How is that possible?

"You...you're not Jiang..."

"What exactly are you...?"

Amidst the difficult questioning, the other half of his face was already covered by the blackness that had crept up, revealing a strange smile.

"Who am I? If we're talking about seniority, I should be your third great-uncle? Uchiha, a descendant of Indra. I'll take your eyes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fugaku, whose heart had already been pierced, grew weaker and weaker.

The disguised White Zetsu clone reverted to its original form, with a kunai held across its neck.

"puff!"

The trachea, which had been struggling to speak and shout, was severed instantly.

The sharp blade severed the artery and trachea, and blood gushed out violently, turning Fugaku into a blood-soaked figure.

"Coo coo..."

Fugaku, whose trachea had been cut, wanted to say something, but the air he inhaled was filled with the smell of blood, and he couldn't utter a single word.

The black arm that had been seized dug out the eyes, and a pair of bloody eye sockets closed, blood falling.

At that moment, a white object rose from the ground, and the black covering Fugaku gradually faded away, merging with the white like a lump of mud.

Inside the two glass bottles in his hand were Obito's eye and Fugaku's Sharingan.

"As a pawn left behind by Madara, Obito cannot die now. His Mangekyou Sharingan with its space-time ability cannot remain in Konoha either, so... I can only ask you to die, the current head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku Uchiha."

"Whoosh!"

Fugaku's head swayed as a kunai pierced his eye socket, destroying his brain. Afterwards, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu slowly sank into the ground.

White Zetsu's voice rang out last: "Isn't there a need to be in such a hurry? I'd like to ask him what the urge to defecate feels like?"

Black Zetsu replied, "The Fourth Hokage and that Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan just left. We need to rescue Obito as soon as possible. There are people in this village who know about us, otherwise Obito wouldn't have failed. Let's go."

……

Ten minutes later, terrified shouts came from the police force, and Shuimen and Shishui, who had just left, quickly returned.

However, at this moment, Fugaku had already fallen into a pool of blood, his Sharingan eyes had disappeared, and Obito, who was sealed in the prison, was nowhere to be found.

"Snapped!"

Shisui quickly opened a hidden compartment under the table, and the Mangekyou Sharingan that he and Fugaku had put in there the night before was gone.

"As expected, they had accomplices. They managed to infiltrate Konoha unnoticed and even kill Captain Fugaku silently. Hokage, could it be...?"

Minato knew the unspoken guess: Uzumaki Sora.

Was the person who severed Obito's right arm halfway through last night, who was skilled in using the Flying Thunder God Technique, the shadowy figure from the information exchange?

Judging from that conversation, the shadowy figure clearly favored the Uchiha clan. So, was he here to rescue Obito? Fugaku's strength is considerable...

"Lord Hokage, Captain Fugaku died from excessive blood loss caused by a kunai severing his artery and trachea. Judging from the way he fell, it appears to be suicide. However, the kunai inserted into his brain must have been made by an enemy," the medical ninja reported.

suicide?

Minato frowned. Fugaku couldn't possibly have committed suicide, so this ability to manipulate enemies must be similar to the Nara family's Shadow Technique—both are methods of manipulating enemies.

As for shuriken inserted into the brain, this was not uncommon in the Third Shinobi World War. All five great ninja villages had secret techniques targeting the brain, and if the time of death was not long, there was a chance of extracting the necessary information.

But... Vortex Emptiness?

Judging from Shisui's fight with him last night, this person who obtained the Flying Thunder God Technique doesn't have much strength. In fact, it could be said that if we disregard the Flying Thunder God Technique and reaction speed, he's not even as strong as an ordinary Chunin.

In such a surprise attack, Fugaku might only get injured, not be controlled.

Uzumaki, not Uchiha? A genjutsu of the Uzumaki clan? No, perhaps the technique Uzumaki Sora is just a deliberate misdirection?

"Have the barrier team come over; I need to know the situation regarding the village's barrier. Then, have the Jonin team send a squad equipped with sensory Jonin to track them. Shisui, you take a squad of Anbu and follow them, ready to provide support at any time."

The Hokage's direct subordinates behind him received the order and instantly left. Shisui followed suit after hearing this, his mind in turmoil.

With the Uchiha clan in a precarious state, having lost Fugaku as their leader, the hawks and doves will likely clash again. If a hawk were to become the clan leader, then…

……

Beneath the underground cave, Obito, who had been rescued, had already recovered his right arm.

After plugging and playing the Sharingan, he asked, "Who exactly leaked my information to Konoha? Kakashi's eye...?"

A strange voice came from the side: "Uzumaki Sora, I saw this when you were captured, you looked so pathetic, Obito."

"Bang!"

Obito shattered the wooden tabletop with a single punch: "If it weren't for that bastard Kakashi using my eyes to restrain me, that bastard!"

Enraged, Obito vented his anger wildly. After a long while, the black-clad figure produced a scroll: "The information about Hashirama's cells and the Mangekyou Sharingan has been completely leaked. I think you should calm down and study it carefully. This is the scroll he left for you; the power recorded inside will be what you need right now."

As the scroll rolled, White Zetsu handed over a glass bottle: "The eyes of Fugaku, the Uchiha clan leader, are quite nice three-tomoe eyes. I remember that the Uchiha's genjutsu requires the Sharingan."

Looking at the things in his hands, Obito's eyes spun rapidly with the magatama in them.

strength!

Only with sufficient power can the Tailed Beasts be captured to initiate the Eye of the Moon Plan.

And there's that person hiding in the shadows, Uzumaki Sora!

……

Three days later, in Konoha, at the funeral of Uchiha Fugaku.

Dressed in black, he looked at the stone tablet in front of him. Fugaku was dead; this was something he hadn't expected.

Although the plot has long been forgotten, the chaos that the Uchiha clan will face next is foreseeable.

When Fugaku died, Itachi was only five years old and wouldn't be able to attend the Ninja Academy until next year. Given Itachi's age, it was clearly impossible for him to become the clan leader.

And stop the water...

If the power called Kotoamatsukami can be explained, then Fugaku's death might not be such a bad thing.

"The captain was assassinated right after the Fourth Hokage left the police force..."

"The Jonin squad and Anbu who went to track them down reportedly found nothing..."

"It's the same on Shisui's side; the enemy seems to have vanished into thin air..."

"The ability to vanish into thin air... During the Third Shinobi World War, I heard that the Fourth Hokage used a single ninjutsu to instantly kill fifty enemy ninjas, is that right?"

"Space-time ninjutsu, only the Fourth Hokage could perform it..."

"Has Konoha become too intolerant of the Uchiha? We are the founders of this village, the masters of this village."

"The captain has already been assassinated, we have no chance left..."

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense!"

Listening to the speculations of the Uchiha clan members around him, Yun frowned slightly.

In the original history, judging from Fugaku's attitude, he did not want to rebel, but even such a clan leader was forced to rebel by his clansmen.

Now, with the Uchiha clan gone, we've lost Fugaku. While defection might not matter, for a modern person accustomed to stability and good food, life in Konoha is still better…
