Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

And it's also the Mangekyou Sharingan!

At this moment.

Yagura Karatachi really wanted to curse!

However, without Obito's consent, he still couldn't do anything.

Shoji had, of course, noticed Yagura's soul consciousness, but he didn't care. Instead, he looked at the top of the Three-Tails' head and said with a cold smile, "Obito, even now, are you still going to hide your true colors?!"

The immense power of his eye, enhanced by the Eternal Eye, allowed Shoji to firmly suppress Obito. Furthermore, the full power of his eye after fusing with Fugaku's eye allowed him to see almost the entire world a second ahead, giving him a significant advantage in the duel. In their previous clash, Shoji utilized this ability to foresee some of Obito's actions, enabling him to perfectly set a trap for Obito and draw him into his own 'domain world'.

Therefore, in close combat or a clash of eye power, Shoji is not afraid at all. Unless it is Madara Uchiha resurrected or the Otsutsuki mother and her two children, no one in this world can compare to Shoji in terms of eye power!

Even though Obito relied on transplanting White Zetsu's body and fully adapted to the First Hokage's Wood Release cells, he further enhanced his own eye power.

However, he still hadn't broken through the gap between the ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan and the Eternal Eye, not to mention that Obito only had one eye at the moment. This absolute difference in 'quality' was an insurmountable chasm between the two of them.

'You bastard!'

Obito himself was also aware of this.

The manifested form of consciousness.

Although Obito was standing atop the Three-Tails' head, looking down at Shoji from a higher position, he could clearly sense the difference in their eye power once he entered the consciousness space, and was actually looking up at Shoji.

The sinister look in those pupils was so clear and intense at that moment that Obito could further confirm that Shoji's eyes belonged to the Eternal Eyes, rather than the ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan.

"You've finally shown yourself. Although I don't understand why you, who sacrificed yourself in the Third Shinobi World War, have been resurrected and attacked Konoha, directly killing your own teacher and parents, none of that matters to me, and I don't care. The worst thing you could do was betray your clan and blame everything on them, putting your clan in an unprecedented crisis. These are all your sins, Uchiha Obito!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and the Uchiha clan themselves bear inescapable responsibility for the Uchiha clan's decline in Konoha, and are the root cause of this situation. Shoji never shies away from this point, nor does he shift all the blame onto others simply because he is of Uchiha descent.

However, the Uchiha clan's crisis will worsen, and they will suffer a massacre in the original story. Obito's attack on Konoha and the release of the Nine-Tails, which led to the deaths of the four Hokage couples, is one of the most important reasons!

This is a sin that Obito can never atone for.

So when I read the final battle in the original story, I felt really disgusted when Naruto was still trying to whitewash Obito. That was the man who killed your father and mother!

Indeed, some people see this as the 'right' choice, a passionate and righteous one aimed at minimizing sacrifices and bringing peace as quickly as possible.

But in Shoji's view, this was the most wrong and foolish choice!

As a son, the hatred for the murderers of one's father and mother is irreconcilable. If Shoji were Naruto, he would rather forgive Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura than forgive Obito Uchiha. He would definitely kill him to vent his anger!

To reiterate, don't talk to Jiang Si about justice, peace, or passion. He's just an ordinary person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, repaying kindness and avenging wrongs!

Obito's actions undoubtedly pushed the Uchiha clan into the fire again. If it weren't for his arrival in this life, death would still be waiting for their clan.

Therefore, this is one of the most important reasons why Shoji is least likely to forgive Obito.

"Hmph, that foolish clan should have been destroyed long ago. The crimes committed by the Uchiha clan..."

"Shut up! I've already said, I'm not interested in your motives or the reasons for your change of heart. I just want to tell you, Uchiha Obito, I will definitely kill you, even if it costs me everything!"

With an extremely sinister expression, Shoji looked at Obito in the opposite seat and said in an extremely cold tone.

A chilling killing intent swept in from all directions.

A terrifying fluctuation of pupil power spread out.

Having been repeatedly tormented by Shoji and Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan, and even beaten up by Shoji's Susanoo, the Three-Tails Isobu was already quite listless. Now, upon feeling Shoji's overwhelming and surging eye power, Isobu couldn't help but think of the owner of those scarlet eyes from back then—Uchiha Madara!

The body curled up more and more unconsciously, and the huge pupils were filled with fear and resentment.

He resented the Uchiha clan's control over him.

Terrified by the supreme power of the Uchiha clan.

Isobu expressed that he was really tired and heartbroken. As a Jinchūriki, and in such a mental space, Yagura Karatachi could clearly feel the emotional fluctuations transmitted from Isobu.

I couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. The tailed beasts that they feared were just toys in the eyes of the Uchiha clan. Back then, Yagura Karatachi didn't believe in the legends of the God of Shinobi and the Asura of Shinobi at all. He just thought that no matter how strong Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were, they were at most a step stronger than the Third Raikage.

But now, through this glimpse, Yagura Karatachi can truly understand what the pinnacle of the ninja world is. Even without a direct confrontation, the feelings conveyed by Isobu, along with Yagura's own experience, allow him to easily judge that this newly arrived young Uchiha can easily crush him. (Shoji only rose to prominence a few years later, but Yagura was controlled by Obito not long after the Third Shinobi World War, so he had no information about Shoji.)

The aura of the strong cannot be faked.

Even the slightest leak was enough to shake Yagura, the tachibana.

Not to mention Uchiha Obito, who directly faced Shoji's cold and murderous intent.

Beneath the mask, the face that had become incredibly awkward, and most importantly, a faint tremor that seemed to emanate from the depths of Obito's soul without him even realizing it, all indicated that in these two duels...

The general had already left Obito with a lingering sense of fear.

Even so.

'How can any of this compare to the pain of losing Rin!? I must create a world where Rin exists, a world of eternal peace!'

Once again, boundless fervor shone in Obito's eyes.

"Hmph, we'll see if you have the ability. This time it's your victory, but next time, when I reappear in the ninja world, it will be your death day, Uchiha Shoji!"

Obito gave Shoji one last, ferocious look.

"Buzz!"

Then the figure became blurred.

Obito once again decisively chose to retreat.

He knew very well that with the difference in their eye power and the fact that the Three-Tailed Isobu had been completely subdued, it was impossible for him to fight with Shoji for control of the Three-Tailed again.

The chakra that has dissipated.

A spirit of complete withdrawal.

In less than a second, Obito completely left the sealed space of the Three-Tails Isobu.

Shoji didn't actually try to stop Obito. After all, this was a mental space, and firstly, he wasn't good at using genjutsu. Secondly, even if he could hurt Obito, it would be a minor issue, and there was no need to do so.

In any case, his intentions have been achieved, not only in the Hidden Mist Village, but also in Obito himself. The foreshadowing he laid in the last clash seems to have had some effect. As for how much of an impact it will have in the future, that remains to be seen.

Similarly, after Obito left.

Both Isobu and Yagura seemed to feel a complete relaxation in their spirits, and a hint of joy unconsciously appeared on their faces.

Finally, I can get rid of this guy's hold on me!

But only a second later.

But when Shoji turned around and slowly stepped forward, his expressionless face changed again when it came into the view of Isobu and Yagura, revealing a bitter look in their eyes.

Is it still impossible to change one's fate?

Yagura felt a chill run down his spine and thought helplessly to himself.

No matter how much time has passed in the battles within the realm of spirit and illusion, in the real world it generally only takes a second to pass.

Therefore, what happened within the field of vision of Mei Terumi and Ao was after Tsukasa used the 'Lightning Release Sealing Technique' to completely subdue the Three-Tailed Isobu.

The mysterious Uchiha clansman wearing a spiral mask, who was not far away, immediately became blurred, then twisted and disappeared.

at the same time.

The massive Susanoo on the body of the general also dissipated.

The enormous size of the Three-Tailed Isobu also vanished like bubbles after a brief burst of light.

Only the figures of Shoji and Yagura remained.

Although it is unclear what exactly happened in that brief moment.

Mei Terumi and Ao clearly saw their Mizukage deactivate his tailed beast form and the enemy flee. Even though they still felt there were some risks and suspicious elements involved, after exchanging a glance and clearly seeing the determination in each other's eyes, they leaped into the air.

They immediately headed towards the location of Shoji and Yagura.

In just a few seconds.

The two people rushed to the nearest location.

"Oh? It's Terumi Mei and Ao. You've really worked hard this time, and we've also troubled Master Genji."

Before the two of them could say anything...

With a pale face, Yagura forced a smile and looked at Mei Terumi and Ao.

Upon hearing such peaceful words from their Mizukage after a long time.

Mei Terumi and Ao both subconsciously showed a hint of excitement.

"Lord Mizukage, have you broken free of control? No, please forgive me, I need to check you one more time!"

Ao spoke with a hint of surprise, but then, as if remembering something, he glanced at Uchiha Shoji, who was sitting leisurely beside him, with a slightly wary look. He spoke with some hesitation, but then decisively activated his Byakugan again.

"Yes, it's alright!"

Yagura, of course, knew very well what Ao was worried about.

At that moment, he simply waved his hand lightly, indicating that he didn't care.

"Blind eyes!"

He openly and fairly allowed Qing to use his eye-rolling technique to inspect him.

It was only a second or two later.

Ao's tense nerves finally relaxed completely, and she gave Terumi Mei a barely perceptible nod.

"Lord Mizukage!"

Mei Terumi immediately knelt on one knee and bowed to Yagura Karatachi, both of them completely relaxing at that moment.

"Yes, get up. There's no need for so much formality. Master Yuan and you have all worked hard these past two or three years."

Yagura glanced at Shoji as if casually, then looked at Mei Terumi and Ao with a calm expression and said.

"Yes, Lord Mizukage!"

The subtle interactions between the three of them.

Shoji naturally noticed this as well, and a hint of amusement flickered in his eyes. It seemed that Obito had indeed given the people of Kirigakure quite a hard time. He hadn't even done anything yet, but they were already acting as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

However, on the surface, Jiang Si still maintained a calm and indifferent expression.
