Infinite: The Main God Space Starting from Naruto

Chapter 148 Danzo, Don't Go Too Far!

Fugaku Uchiha hurried through the streets of Konoha, and the gate to the clan's territory came into view.

The next second, Fugaku suddenly stopped and his brows furrowed immediately.

Outside the clan's gate, dozens of Root ninjas wearing white masks stood ready, surrounding the gate. They were undoubtedly Root ninjas.

Inside the gate, the Uchiha clan members huddled together, forming a human wall, their faces filled with anger and unease as they confronted the ninjas outside.

Suddenly, a young Uchiha clansman spotted Fugaku Uchiha and excitedly shouted, "The clan leader is back!"

The moment the words were spoken, the entire tribe erupted in cheers and discussions, as if they had found their leader.

At this moment, the Root ninjas also noticed Fugaku's arrival. The Root ninjas quickly adjusted their formation, with some turning to face Fugaku and subtly surrounding him.

The white-masked ninja leading the group stepped forward, his voice low and cold: "Uchiha Fugaku, you've come at the right time. The village has ordered you to cooperate with the investigation."

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Fugaku's eyes. He remained silent and walked straight toward his clansmen, as if he hadn't heard a word they said.

The white-masked ninja's body stiffened visibly for a moment, clearly not expecting Fugaku to ignore him like that.

The white-masked ninja stepped forward, blocking Fugaku's path. His voice held a hint of annoyance: "Uchiha Fugaku, didn't you hear me?"

Fugaku didn't stop walking, only slightly turning his head. In an instant, his three-tomoe Sharingan appeared, his gaze sweeping over the other person like lightning.

In that instant, the white-masked ninja felt a chilling cold rush straight to his head, as if he had been thrown into an ice cellar.

"No way! This is impossible!"

The white-masked ninja staggered backward, his body trembling violently. He prided himself on being a master of illusion, yet he was utterly defeated in a single exchange.

With a thud, his legs gave way and he collapsed to his knees. Rapid breathing came from behind the mask, as if he were experiencing unspeakable fear.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding Root ninjas all took a half step back, their hands on the hilts of their swords, but none of them dared to make a move.

Fugaku approached his clansmen, his gaze sweeping over their tense faces, and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened?"

An elder with gray hair strode forward, his voice filled with barely concealed anger: "Clan leader, these people suddenly broke into the clan's territory, claiming they wanted to search our residences. Not only that, they also threatened to detain all the Uchiha clan members!"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku's pupils contracted sharply, and a chilling killing intent erupted instantly. His Sharingan activated involuntarily, the three tomoe spinning wildly as if to crush everything before him. "You dare!"

The Root ninjas blocking their way involuntarily took a step back, and some even swallowed hard.

They had long heard of Fugaku's infamous reputation and had made preparations before coming, but the sense of oppression they felt at this moment far exceeded everyone's expectations. Could it be that the other party had been hiding his strength all along?

Fugaku coldly surveyed the Root ninja before him, the three tomoe in his eyes slowly swirling as he spoke, enunciating each word clearly: "I'll ask you one more time, who gave you the right to be so disrespectful to the Uchiha clan?"

Before he finished speaking, dozens of dark figures appeared from all directions like ghosts, instantly surrounding Fugaku. These newly arrived Root ninjas moved in perfect unison, weapons in hand, ready to strike at any moment.

A cold glint flashed in Fugaku's eyes. He was about to speak when he heard steady footsteps coming from the crowd. The crowd involuntarily made way for him, and a figure slowly approached: "Uchiha Fugaku, for the safety of Konoha, please cooperate with our operation."

Just then, a steady footstep sounded from the crowd. A figure slowly emerged—it was Shimura Danzo, the leader of Konoha's Root. His expression was serious, and his gaze was cold as he stared at Fugaku.

Fugaku's eyes sharpened, and he asked in a deep voice, "Danzo, what does this mean? What authority do you have to issue such an order?"

Danzo replied expressionlessly, "Madara Uchiha attacked the village, Kushina, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, died, the Nine-Tails was taken away, Minato Namikaze was seriously injured, and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was also seriously injured. In such a critical situation, the Hokage's aide naturally has the right to take necessary measures."

"Uchiha Madara?" Fugaku frowned slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Danzo, as if he were looking at a madman. He sneered, "Danzo, are you joking? Uchiha Madara died at the Valley of the End years ago. How could he suddenly appear in Konoha?"

Danzo sneered, "Facts speak louder than words. All of this is thanks to your Uchiha clan's ancestors. Just look at your clansmen!"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku turned to look at his clansmen behind him. He saw a hint of shock and bewilderment on their faces.

A young clansman spoke tremblingly, "Clan leader, we...we did indeed see a gigantic blue warrior. That form...was the same as the legendary Madara Uchiha."

Danzo sneered, "Not only that, but after Madara Uchiha was critically injured and on the verge of death, he fled in panic. His existence has become a hidden danger threatening the entire ninja world. Soon, the entire ninja world will do everything in its power to capture this traitor."

Fugaku's expression froze instantly, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes, but he knew that this was not the time to delve into the matter.

He quickly composed himself, turned to Danzo, and said firmly, "Even if what you say is true, and Madara Uchiha suddenly revived and attacked Konoha, what does that have to do with us? When Madara Uchiha chose to betray Konoha, our Uchiha clan chose to stay and serve Konoha. Our loyalty needs no proof!"

Danzo narrowed his eyes, pressing closer: "Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth. As the head of the Uchiha clan, you have a responsibility to accept the investigation. To prevent any traitors within the Uchiha clan, we must temporarily take control of the entire Uchiha territory."

Danzo's words were like a bomb, instantly detonating the entire clan compound. The entire compound erupted in chaos. The Uchiha clan members roared in anger, their faces filled with fury.

"absurd!"

"We have protected Konoha for generations, and participated in the war. Why are we being treated like this?"

"This is a provocation against the entire Uchiha clan!"

Some of the more ambitious young members of the clan have even activated their Sharingan, ready to make a move at any moment.

Fugaku abruptly raised his hand, silencing the commotion among his clansmen behind him. He stared intently at Danzo, the three tomoe in his eyes swirling wildly: "Danzo, you're far too arrogant. You have no right to do this. I'm warning you, don't push your luck!"

Danzo narrowed his eyes, his tone sarcastic: "Oh? So you're planning to rebel against the village's decision? Doesn't that confirm my suspicions? The Uchiha clan is indeed up to no good."

Fugaku's heart sank upon hearing this. He knew that Danzo's words were tantamount to labeling the Uchiha clan as "traitors," and if this were confirmed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fugaku sneered, his killing intent undisguised: "Danzo, are you sure you want to do this? You should think carefully about the consequences. You will pay the price for doing this."
