Chapter 238: You’re Not Fugaku at All!

"Gasp! Gasp!"Uchiha Tekka struggled in agony. Countless wooden splinters caused him unbearable pain. What was more terrifying was that the splinters were absorbing his blood... This way of dying was even more horrifying than being stabbed to death directly! Bang! Obito threw him away, and he crashed through a wall. He was about to kill the next one. Rin struggled to get up. "O-Obito! Grandma, how is Grandma?" "Grandma?" Obito was dazed, a trace of clarity returning to his mind. Right! Grandma... "Rin, Grandma is badly hurt. Please help me check on her, I beg you, help me save her!" "I will, I will!" Rin’s forehead was also bleeding. The brief lack of oxygen had left her mind in chaos, buzzing loudly. After taking a few steps, Obito immediately supported her to his grandmother’s side. She barely managed to support herself. She checked and examined the wounds. Rin sobered up a little. This wound... She formed hand seals, extracted her chakra, and the Mystical Palm Technique appeared in her hand. The chakra slowly treated the old woman’s internal and external injuries. But the presence of life in the other’s body was still slowly fading. She looked at Obito, her lips trembling. Obito’s eyes were filled with panic. "Rin, save her!" "Obito..." "Save her! I’m begging you!" Obito whimpered in a low voice. Rin’s tone was also filled with helplessness. "I am saving her!" She was saving her, but... there were many conditions that even a medical ninja could do nothing about, let alone her in her current state. The presence of life slowly faded from the old woman. Obito collapsed on the ground helplessly, knowing that his grandmother could not be saved. Watching Rin trying hard to treat her, he pulled at the corners of his mouth, forcing a smile. "Rin, I’m very grateful to you! But it’s okay now..." "No, there’s still a chance! Let me try again!" Rin tried her best to make one last attempt. At this moment, she just wanted to save a patient. However, at this time, a series of kunai shot towards them from a distance, with exploding tags attached. "You actually killed Brother Tekka! You two can go and die together!" Obito’s pupils shrank, and he instantly turned his head. A dozen exploding tags! At a time like this, these people still want to kill both of them! The hatred, anger, and despair in Obito’s heart, like the exploding tags before, instantly erupted... Swish! The space in front of him distorted, turning into a spatial vortex. Boom! In the space-time passage, there was still the faint sound of explosions, but the flames only spread over a small area and did not affect Obito and Rin. "How is that possible?" The other Uchiha clansmen were stunned. This ninjutsu, is it the Flying Thunder God? But where did Uchiha Obito learn the Flying Thunder God? It’s impossible for this guy to have access to that level of ninjutsu, unless... Someone shouted loudly. "The Flying Thunder God, this guy is a traitor! This is a trap set by Konoha!" But the next moment, the spatial vortex appeared again, quickly tearing them into it. Obito’s eyes were bleeding and tearing. Blood and tears were already indistinguishable. He roared to the sky, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. Rin lay on the increasingly cold body, crying silently... She couldn’t save her! "Sensei, Sensei must have a way!" "And, I have to get the message out!" Rin immediately picked up the old woman and rushed towards the Konoha Hospital. The next moment, Obito appeared among those few people, a violent storm of wooden splinters erupting with his body as the center. Kamui! The terrifying space-time ninjutsu, combined with the Wood Style he had obtained from the transplanted cells, swept everyone around into it. No matter how strong the Sharingan was, how clearly it could see the trajectory of the splinters, the surrounding space was chaotic, making it impossible to distinguish the correct position. These few Uchiha clansmen instantly let out blood-curdling screams. They were dead. Blood flowed everywhere. Uchiha Obito stood on the roof of his house, his eyes filled with bewilderment. Grandma is dead. Home... is gone! He clutched his head, roaring in pain, just wanting to escape, to leave this world. The next moment, Obito instantly disappeared from the spot. White Zetsu and a part of Black Zetsu emerged from the ground. "What terrifying power!" Black Zetsu’s clone answered indifferently. "This is the Mangekyo Sharingan. Now, he is finally truly qualified to be a tool." "Let’s go, let’s go see the other side. It should be starting soon over there too." --- In the Uchiha clan’s territory, at the residence of the clan head, Uchiha Fugaku. Suddenly—a sky-shattering scream. Fugaku broke out in a cold sweat and instantly shot up from his bed. "What happened?" "Huh?" Uchiha Mikoto’s face was blank. She hadn’t heard any unusual noise. But she trusted her husband’s judgment. "Perhaps there’s conflict in the clan again?" "I hope it’s just a conflict." Fugaku quickly got dressed, fully armed in less than half a minute. "You be careful!" "Mm." Mikoto nodded. She also put on the ninja vest and equipment she hadn’t used for a long time. If there really was an internal strife in the clan and Fugaku was tied down, then... the only one who could protect Itachi at home was herself! But in fact—within the clan, most people were bewildered. "What direction was that?" That area... they didn’t remember having a combat target there. "It seems to be the home of that traitor’s grandmother." There was only one "traitor." Uchiha Obito. If it weren’t for Uchiha Obito, they wouldn’t have had to come to this point—even though this matter was entirely their own choice. The group of people looked at each other. At this time, an elder sneered. "It must be Tekka and his group. Tsunade’s disciple often comes to the Uchiha compound. Tekka has been dissatisfied with her for a long time. It must be them." Then, he narrowed his eyes and chuckled lightly. "Fugaku must have gone. Then... this is our chance!" "You mean?" The old man said in a low voice. "Capture Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Itachi, and make Fugaku and Shisui join us!" Even if their political views were different from Fugaku and Shisui, one thing had to be admitted—these two were extremely strong! If they could get their help, only then would the Uchiha be at full strength. "The elder is right. Then let’s go to Clan Head Fugaku’s place together and ask the mother and son to persuade the clan head, to make him change his mind!" "Right, right!" "Persuade the clan head to change his mind!" Everyone quickly found a righteous reason. Not betrayal, not coercion, but hoping the mother and son could persuade Fugaku not to let the clan kill each other! The eyes of the group of people were filled with excitement. --- Arriving at the scene, Fugaku saw the corpses and traces of Wood Style all over the ground, and broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately reconstructed the battle scene in his mind—Tekka and his group wanted to ambush and surround Nohara Rin who had come to provide medical treatment. Then, Kyohiko somehow arrived with the Flying Thunder God and instantly killed everyone! If so, the Uchiha and Konoha... But as Fugaku trembled, yet had to carefully investigate, he soon noticed something was wrong. Because... it was too weak! Although Fugaku had never seen Kyohiko’s Wood Style, he had heard that it was comparable to the First Hokage’s, and that he could wipe out a ninja army of several hundred from Sunagakure alone. And Kyohiko’s strength in other aspects was also undoubtedly strong. To deal with people like Tekka, did he need to use Wood Style? Did he need to fight like this? What a joke. Besides, Tekka’s throat was pierced by countless wooden splinters and he was pinned to the wall by a piece of wood. The enemy seemed to have a deep hatred for him! Also... where were Nohara Rin and Obito’s grandmother? Fugaku stood before a separate patch of blood, an unbelievable and terrifying guess flashing through his mind. Could it be... Uchiha Obito? "Not good!" Fugaku suddenly realized—he had thought a large-scale conflict had broken out here, which was why he had rushed over. But that was not the case. Then... my home is in danger! He knew these old things in the family all too well. They didn’t have the guts for a head-on collision, but they had plenty of guts to bully the weak. --- "Itachi, don’t be afraid! Don’t be afraid! Mom will protect you! Mom will fight our way out with you!" Mikoto gripped her kunai, her whole body trembling as she looked at the elders outside. She hadn’t fought for a long time. And those were all clansmen! Why has the Uchiha come to this point? She was sad, and even more angry—these people spoke nicely, but in fact, they just wanted to capture them to threaten Fugaku! Uchiha Itachi said calmly. "Mother, we must hold our defense. Father will definitely come back to help. Besides, Shisui and the village will not stand by and watch." Mikoto was stunned for a moment, then nodded in a daze. "Right, we should hold on..." She was a little ashamed. As a mother, she should have been standing in front of Itachi, but now Itachi was calmer than her. Hold on! She took a deep breath. "Everyone, Fugaku is asleep. Let’s talk about whatever it is tomorrow." "Asleep? Mikoto, the clan is in a precarious situation. How can he sleep?" Outside, Yoshinori sneered. As he spoke, his Sharingan activated, his gaze sweeping around. After confirming there were no chakra traces, he directly led the way forward. "Mikoto, Fugaku is probably not here, right? In that case, you and Itachi come out and talk with us to Fugaku." Uchiha Yoshinori’s face was filled with coldness and killing intent. If they didn’t come out, he could only fight his way in. Mikoto was silent for a moment, looked at Itachi beside her, then handed him a kunai, and then took down a sword from the rack on the side. "We fight side by side!" "Mm!" The mother and son nodded. The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer. Uchiha Yoshinori couldn’t wait any longer. His sword was slowly unsheathed—there was no turning back from this battle! Crack! A sharp sound. Yoshinori instantly advanced a dozen steps, in an instant he was at the gate, and with one slash, he cut the gate in two. At a time like this, all it took was one person to make the first move. The moment Elder Yoshinori acted, several figures, without him needing to say so, rushed over directly, killing their way into Uchiha Fugaku’s home. A fierce battle was inevitable! Elder Yoshinori waved his hand. "Charge in, capture them!" Those few people cut down the door, and instantly—Boom! A violent explosion came from inside the house! Uchiha Yoshinori’s pupils shrank. He hadn’t expected Uchiha Mikoto to be so resolute, directly setting up an exploding tag trap in her home. The few who rushed in first were instantly severely injured in the explosion, and some even died directly. The dozen or so people behind them immediately stopped in their tracks. This... They looked at each other, then looked at Uchiha Yoshinori behind them. "Elder, this?" They didn’t dare to kill Mikoto and Itachi, but the other party could use all kinds of exploding tags to go for the kill. This was not a fair fight at all. If this continued... before Uchiha Fugaku returned, they might not be able to capture Mikoto and Itachi. Uchiha Yoshinori’s gaze was icy. "In that case, never mind. Just leave one of them alive!" "Yes!" Swish! One by one, figures instantly infiltrated various parts of Fugaku’s residence, observing and monitoring from all directions, and then snuck into the house. Mikoto hid in a corner of the house. She knew she couldn’t go to the basement—she didn’t know Earth Style. Going there would be a dead end! Itachi was back to back with her. They could feel each other’s heartbeats. This was a battle of life and death. The room they were hiding in didn’t delay them for long. In just a moment, a sword pierced in from outside. Then—Boom! A huge flame blasted in from outside. Uchiha Mikoto’s pupils shrank, and she quickly formed hand seals. However, before she could finish, Itachi beside her had already completed his. Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique! The flames offset a part of it. At this moment, Mikoto finally caught up with her chakra output. Boom! The flames collided and offset. From the side, several people quickly attacked. Poof! A smoke bomb exploded on the ground. Itachi threw it, then pulled his mother and quickly fled. There are too many people! We can’t win! But— "Mikoto, you should just give up. I don’t want to hurt you. I just want you to talk with Fugaku, so as not to cause fratricide." "Don’t force us to act!" Yoshinori blocked their escape route. Uchiha Mikoto said coldly. "Aren’t you doing exactly that right now?" "We are walking on the correct path, while Fugaku is too foolish, stubbornly wanting to cooperate with Konoha... We are just trying to force him to be with us." "Put down your weapons, otherwise... I will kill you!" Uchiha Yoshinori sighed softly. He really didn’t want to go that far, but with the great momentum, Uchiha Fugaku would soon be back. He had to control either Mikoto or Itachi before the other party returned. Clang! The answer he got was a sword. Uchiha Yoshinori was already old, but Mikoto hadn’t been on the battlefield for many years, and as a woman, her natural strength was weaker. A single clash of blades was a fifty-fifty split. Uchiha Yoshinori retreated a step, his tone icy. "Kill her!" In an instant... a fierce wind howled! Wind Style: Great Breakthrough! The smoke dissipated, and four or five people charged towards Mikoto. In an instant—Clang! A figure flickered over, attacking Uchiha Yoshinori. Uchiha Yoshinori turned his head and instantly drew his sword to block. But in an instant, the figure before him turned into an afterimage. A shadow clone? The next moment, a huge force came from under his feet. Headhunter Jutsu? No! Genjutsu! Uchiha Yoshinori’s dōjutsu rebounded. He dodged to the side, but the sword was spitting a tongue of fire, which instantly engulfed his throat. Kenjutsu! "Fugaku" stood beside Uchiha Yoshinori, holding a sword in one hand. "Yoshinori has been killed by me. If you lay down your arms, I can punish only the ringleader!" The whole scene fell silent. A look of joy appeared in Mikoto’s eyes, and she led Itachi to flee towards "Fugaku." But... at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded. Someone shouted. "The Clan Head has no need for a sneak attack! And the flow of his chakra isn’t quite right. He is definitely not the Clan Head!" "Now, we have no possibility of retreating. We’ll know who he is after we kill him!" Damn it! Shisui cursed inwardly. He had thought that assassinating Yoshinori could quell the strife, but that was not the case... These people really planned to lead the clan to defect from Konoha!
