"Wait, you can't leave!" Uchiha Fugaku hurriedly called out when he saw Fang Mo about to depart.

"Ah, Clan Head, you're here."

After holding back his emotions for several days, Fang Mo couldn't contain his amusement any longer and grinned, saying, "Do you really believe what I said was nonsense?"

"I... believe you."

Uchiha Fugaku's expression flickered as he spoke in a serious tone.

Yes, he had changed his mind. Though Fang Mo's words seemed unbelievable, upon careful consideration, they made some sense.

Fugaku had heard about the incident involving Uchiha Obito. It was said that Obito died on a mission, and one of his eyes was given to Kakashi Hatake, the son of the White Fang. If everything Fang Mo said was true and it was all part of Uchiha Madara's plan, then it wasn't entirely implausible.

Especially when Fang Mo mentioned the forbidden jutsu "Edo Tensei," which could summon the deceased back to life.

The old house where Obito lived still existed. If they found a strand or two of Obito's hair to perform Edo Tensei and it failed, proving that Obito was still alive, the possibility of Fang Mo's claims being true would increase.

As for Danzo...

Fugaku was aware of his desire for the Sharingan. After all, the Uchiha clan's bloodline was powerful, and outsiders had coveted it for a long time. The neighboring Hyuga clan even used a caged bird seal to prevent their eyes from being stolen.

It was a precaution to safeguard their bloodline.

Fugaku carefully considered Fang Mo's words.

Assuming everything Fang Mo said was true, he, as the clan head, had no power to save the Uchiha clan, especially in the Nine-Tails incident. The higher-ups in the village no longer trusted the Uchiha clan.

If they did nothing, they would be blamed.

But if they took action, Danzo would continue to target the Uchiha clan, using insubordination as a reason. Moreover, Danzo was a trusted confidant of the Third Hokage. If Fugaku and Danzo were to speak out simultaneously, the Third Hokage would undoubtedly trust the veteran Danzo more.

It was a dead end. As long as Danzo continued to covet the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan and the Konoha leadership couldn't reach a consensus. Fugaku couldn't deal with Danzo either, as he was a close associate of the Third Hokage.

"I will convince the clan elders," Fugaku pondered for a moment before speaking firmly, "From now on, you are the true Uchiha Madara!"

"No, no, that won't do." Fang Mo was getting a bit tired of pretending to be Uchiha Madara. "I don't know any Genjutsu, and my Sharingan is fake. How can I be Uchiha Madara?"

"I can give you my eyes," Fugaku said resolutely.

"Really?" Fang Mo was surprised. "You people from the ninja world can swap eyes so easily? Do you all give big eyeballs to neighbors for the New Year?"

"We have spare eyes in the clan. I can replace mine," Fugaku explained. "I don't care who you are or what your purpose is. If you've shared these secrets with me, it means you have a plan. As long as you can ensure the safety of the Uchiha clan, I'll help you achieve your goal."

"I don't really need your Sharingan, but I have an experiment I'd like you to help with," Fang Mo said after a moment of thought.

"What kind of experiment?" Fugaku asked, looking up.

"You'll find out soon," Fang Mo replied, recalling the Mangekyou Sharingan he had released earlier into his storage space. "For now, please remove one of your eyes."

"Understood," Fugaku nodded. If Fang Mo wanted his Sharingan, he would have attacked already. He reached for his left eye and plucked it out, unable to suppress a pained groan.

Seeing Fugaku remove his left eye, Fang Mo instantly took out a bottle of healing potion and gestured for him to drink it.

Fugaku hesitated for a moment but eventually drank the potion.

In an instant, he felt a tingling sensation in his eye socket, and suddenly, his once dark left eye regained its vision. Fugaku was surprised and couldn't help but look at the Sharingan in his hand and then at the Susano'o that appeared beside him, feeling bewildered.

"It seems to work," Fang Mo said, satisfied with the results. It appeared that his plan to mass-produce Sharingan and Byakugan was on the right track.

"Did the potion you gave me do this?" Fugaku asked in amazement. "Why... can even the Mangekyou Sharingan regenerate?"

"This substance is a ninth-grade holy medicine called 'Xiongshi's Ancient Formula,' a divine medicine in the universe," Fang Mo explained casually. "It uses the roots of the Ten-Tails God Tree from deep within the Qinling Mountains as a catalyst. Whether it's Sharingan or Byakugan, you can pluck them out freely, just like plucking garlic chives; pluck one, and another grows back..."

"And your goal is the Sharingan?" Fugaku asked, understanding more now.

"Not really," Fang Mo waved his hand. "I'm not that interested in your Uchiha clan. My real target is Kaguya Otsutsuki. After all, I can't let our three-dimensional readers. I have to trap her in my... uh, I mean, I have to seal her in my weapon."

"So, your target is the originator of Chakra?" Fugaku furrowed his brows. "But you know so much about the ninja world's secrets. Who are you?"

"Didn't I already say it? I'm the King of Fun from the Otsutsuki clan," Fang Mo shrugged. "It's mainly because people here have limited knowledge. If I say I'm from the sky, from another planet, or from other worlds, can you understand?"

"I suppose so," Fugaku nodded thoughtfully. "So, you're from somewhere outside the ninja world, just like Kaguya Otsutsuki?"

"More or less," Fang Mo shrugged again. "Anyway, my only goal is Kaguya Otsutsuki. As for unifying the ninja world, to be honest... it's just a pastime when I'm bored, something to entertain myself with."

"Using the unification of the ninja world as a form of entertainment, your idea of fun is quite grand," Fugaku commented, glancing at Fang Mo.

...

To Fang Mo's surprise, after revealing his true intentions, he gained Uchiha Fugaku's trust. As a result, when Fang Mo left the room again, he had no choice but to assume the appearance of Uchiha Madara.

Meanwhile, on Fugaku's side, he gathered other members of the Uchiha clan and vouched for Fang Mo's true identity as Uchiha Madara. They saw his return as an opportunity to bring honor to the Uchiha clan.

Upon hearing this, the Uchiha clan members were overjoyed.

Since Tobirama Senju became the Second Hokage, the Uchiha clan had faced constant scrutiny. Although they held positions in the Konoha Police Force, their efforts went unappreciated, and they weren't well-liked by the common people. The Uchiha clan's arrogance further contributed to the growing divide between them and the rest of the village.

Now that their ancestor had returned, they felt like they finally had someone to stand up for them.

Rumors had already spread about Uchiha Madara's return and his confrontations with the Third Hokage and Danzo. This filled the Uchiha clan members with immense pride and joy, and they wholeheartedly welcomed their ancestor's comeback, even though the circumstances were unexpected.

However, Fang Mo hadn't yet figured out how to influence the Uchiha clan members' thinking. The potent power of the Sharingan often caused mental instability among the Uchiha, leading to extreme and radical thoughts.

Controlling them solely through the identity of Uchiha Madara wouldn't be enough. Fang Mo needed to find a way to channel their determination and pride in a positive direction.

After pretending to be Uchiha Madara for several days, Fang Mo couldn't maintain the act any longer. He asked Fugaku to find him a place to rest and contemplate his next steps.

The next morning, Fang Mo woke up early. Without the assistance of the White Queen Emma, he had lost the ability to dream, so he didn't oversleep. He immediately set his plan in motion.

First, he greeted Uchiha Fugaku and requested him to collect some of Uchiha Obito's hair to prepare for Impure World Reincarnation. Fugaku recognized this as an opportunity to verify Fang Mo's intentions and promptly began working on the task.

After sending Fugaku on his way, Fang Mo left the Uchiha clan's residence and casually inquired on the streets before heading to the Uzumaki household.

He knocked on the door, and soon, a voice came from inside.

However, the person who opened the door was not Minato but a red-haired girl.

"Are you... looking for Minato?" The red-haired girl, Kushina Uzumaki, was surprised to see 'Uchiha Madara' at the door. Before Fang Mo could speak, Minato rushed out.

"Madara-senpai," Hashirama said, calmly pulling Kushina behind him. "Is there something you want to discuss with me?"

Upon Hashirama's abrupt arrival, a gust of wind blew towards Fang Mo.

Smelling the scent in the air, Fang Mo raised an eyebrow.

"The scent is quite strong..."

Unable to contain Uchiha Madara's arrogance, Fang Mo couldn't help but comment, "So, do you still have the strength to use shurikens today? The Golden Flash of Konoha?"

"..."

Hearing this, both of their faces turned red.
