Chapter 67 » Intel About Mikoto! The Enraged Fugaku Uchiha!
Yusuke narrowed his eyes, watching the retreating figures of the two Uchiha clan members. Trying to sneak into the vicinity of Kirigakure undetected? How could that be possible?
All suspicious individuals infiltrating near Kiri had actually already been secretly placed under surveillance by the ANBU. Sometimes, these spies from other villages could have unexpected effects at certain moments!
For example, letting them relay some information that Yusuke wanted their village to see.
Like this time when he deliberately took Mikoto and Kushina for a stroll around the village. That was the purpose.
"Ah, Fugaku... I really want to see with my own eyes what kind of expression you'll have on your face when you find out about this." A smile appeared on Yusuke's face.
Then he transformed into lightning and vanished without a trace!
Let's hope Fugaku Uchiha can stay strong.

Konohagakure.
The sky was just beginning to lighten. These two Uchiha clan members had rushed back to the compound, traveling day and night.
"Where is Clan Head Fugaku? I have urgent matters to report!" Inabi Uchiha said loudly.
He had to report everything he had seen to Fugaku!
"Keep your voice down! The Clan Head only just managed to fall asleep this morning." An Uchiha elder scolded sternly as he hurriedly walked out from the Clan Head's residence.
"This..." Inabi and Tekka exchanged a glance, then quietly waited to the side.
However, the commotion woke up Fugaku, who had just fallen asleep. After all, his nerves were so tense that he didn't dare relax even the slightest bit!
After leaving his room, he quickly came to the courtyard.
"Inabi, Tekka. How is it? Is there... any movement from Kirigakure?" Fugaku quickly approached the two men.
Within the clan, these two were capable assistants under him. Both had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan and possessed extraordinary strength.
A week ago, he had sent the two of them to infiltrate the outskirts of Kiri to gather intelligence about Mikoto's situation.
"Lord Fugaku... Yesterday, we finally discovered signs of the clan mistress..."
Clan mistress — this was something that Fugaku had declared a month ago. So all clan members now referred to Mikoto in this way.
"How is it?" Fugaku looked at Inabi's expression. Taking a deep breath, he said solemnly, "Tell me! Report everything in detail. Don't hide anything!"
Although they hadn't spoken yet, he already sensed that what he was about to hear was definitely not going to be good news!
"The clan mistress and Kushina Uzumaki were following behind Yusuke Kamizuki. They were walking around the outskirts of Kirigakure... and moreover." Inabi gritted his teeth and continued, "The clan mistress was wearing a maid outfit... And she was calling Yusuke Kamizuki 'master' with every word. There's more... The clan mistress had a black collar around her neck, with bells attached to it..."
"..."
He lowered his voice and told Fugaku everything he had seen, reporting all the details to him.
"Maid? Master? Collar? Bells?" After hearing these words, Fugaku's face turned completely green (not just his face, but the hat too) and the rage in his heart instantly began to burn wildly, "That bastard Yusuke Kamizuki!! He — He — He! He actually turned my wife into his servant!!! Ahhh!!!"
Fugaku's fist smashed violently into a nearby ornamental rock. In an instant, stones flew everywhere!
Being treated as a servant was one thing. He had already mentally prepared himself for that possibility. But... a collar around her neck... and calling Yusuke "master"?!
He must die!! He would surely have to cut him into a thousand pieces and kill him!!!
Anger and hatred completely filled Fugaku's mind! His eyes were filled with a raging inferno of fury!
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
[ Ding! Fugaku Uchiha is now in a furious rage! He gradually feels the aura of the green hat! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 200,000 Villain Points! ]
In Kiri, the sky was just starting to brighten.
Early in the morning, Yusuke received this good news.
Then, he hugged Mei closer and went back to sleep.
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
Inside the Uchiha compound.
"Continue investigating carefully. If there's any news, report back immediately." Fugaku said with a gloomy face to Inabi and Tekka.
"Yes, Clan Head!" The two exchanged a glance, then left.
An Uchiha elder standing nearby let out a sigh.
"Clan Head Fugaku, although the clan mistress has suffered some mistreatment, at least her life isn't in danger. Our clan members have been training hard during this time. We've been constantly striving to make our clan stronger! When the time comes, we'll use Yusuke Kamizuki's blood to honor our clan members!"
Fugaku glanced at the Uchiha elder, then nodded.
"Mm, you may go."
"Yes, Clan Head." The Uchiha elder left.
Afterwards, Fugaku, with a gloomy face, leapt up and vanished without a trace!
Half an hour later, in the underground Root headquarters of Konoha, inside a laboratory.
Orochimaru slowly put down the test tube in his hand, then took off his gloves. Without turning around, he let out a hoarse laugh.
"Clan Head Fugaku. I'm glad you could come."
At the laboratory door behind him stood none other than Fugaku Uchiha, his expression dark!
"Orochimaru, show me the results of your research."
The last time he came here, after seeing that fanatic Shin Uchiha, he had been constantly pondering whether his Uchiha clan should cooperate with Orochimaru or not.
But now, anger and hatred had completely taken over him! He wanted Yusuke dead! Therefore, he had to obtain absolute power in a short period of time!
The methods to gain power quickly: either evolve towards the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, or turn to Orochimaru!
The path to the Eternal Mangekyō was definitely out of the question now. So, the only option left was to cooperate with the snake!
"Please follow me." Orochimaru led Fugaku to a secret experimental facility.
The place was filled with intricate instruments and devices. Even the Uchiha clan head was somewhat shocked.
"Orochimaru, does the Third know about this?" Fugaku looked at the numerous live experiments in those huge containers. His brow furrowed slightly.
With such a large operation, he couldn't believe Danzo could completely cover it up! Moreover, his Uchiha clan was still in charge of the village's police force.
Recently, the number of missing persons in the village had also been rapidly increasing!
"He knows." Orochimaru laughed hoarsely.
Fugaku's eyes flickered. So... was the Third also turning a blind eye?
"Alright, we're here." Orochimaru arrived at the door of a secret room.
The door slowly opened. Inside was an incredibly vast plaza. In the center of the plaza, there was an examination table.
A bald man was sitting on the bed, and upon seeing Fugaku, his eyes immediately began to tremble!
"Uchiha! Uchiha!!" At the same time, dozens of crimson Sharingan suddenly opened all over his body!!
Shin Uchiha! The man whose body cells could fuse with any Kekkei Genkai!
"Shin..." Fugaku slowly walked up to Shin, looking at his pale face filled with fanaticism. Was his obsession with the clan really this strong?
"Clan Head Fugaku! The great Uchiha!" Shin struggled to sit up from the examination table. On his entire head, there were at least a dozen Sharingan! These grotesque eyes were constantly moving.
Orochimaru began to explain.
"His cells can completely fuse with other Kekkei Genkai. There's no rejection at all. So far, he has fused with forty-three Sharingan. And..." Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Fugaku, "The Sharingan fused into his body... can evolve!!"
Upon hearing this, Fugaku's whole body trembled!
"Evolve?!! How is that possible?!!"
Isn't it only those with Uchiha clan blood who can evolve their own Sharingan? Outsiders could only transplant them at most! And it would still consume an abnormal amount of the transplant recipient's chakra.
"It's precisely because of Shin's fanaticism towards your clan. His willpower is incredibly strong!" Orochimaru looked at the strange man, clearly satisfied with his masterpiece, "Show it to Clan Head Fugaku."
All the Sharingan on Shin's entire head slowly closed.
Then, in the next second, they all suddenly opened!
Astonishingly, they had all transformed from the previous three-tomoe Sharingan into Mangekyō Sharingan! Although... it was an inferior version of the Mangekyō.
But it still surpassed the limit of the three-tomoe Sharingan! An inferior Mangekyō was still a Mangekyō Sharingan!
"Mangekyō Sharingan!" Fugaku could no longer contain his shock. His pupils trembled violently.
Mangekyō? They were all actually Mangekyō Sharingan?
"As expected... it's the Mangekyō Sharingan," Orochimaru murmured to himself. Then he said to Shin, "Demonstrate your abilities to Clan Head Fugaku."
Shin nodded, then raised his left hand.
With a mere thought, various metal objects — tweezers and scalpels — placed on the nearby examination table suddenly floated up. They began to rotate around him.
"The ability of the Mangekyō Sharingan..." Fugaku nodded.
He took a long, hard look at the "Eye Man" before him. Even though Shin was an outsider, he could fuse Sharingan into his own body and even awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan through sheer willpower!
Fugaku's pupils contracted. His breathing quickened.
Perhaps... perhaps! It was truly possible to make the clan members stronger! To make himself... stronger!
"Clan Head Fugaku, I have finished the demonstration. If you want to become stronger in a short time, I need to know your strength." Orochimaru already had some guesses in his heart.
Fugaku closed his eyes, thinking of Yusuke's face and Mikoto's current situation. He no longer had any hesitation!
His eyes slowly opened! A pair of crimson Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly appeared!
Seeing this, Orochimaru's pupils contracted. As expected! Fugaku Uchiha had also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan!
Then, a terrifying deep blue chakra suddenly burst out from Fugaku's body! Extremely pale bones began to appear! In an instant, a small Susanoo materialized in the entire plaza.
"This is..." A glimmer of excitement flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, "Unparalleled power…"
"Susanoo!" Fugaku slowly deactivated it, "It's the power obtained after awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan. In the entire clan... only Shisui and I have awakened this power."
Orochimaru nodded with a smile.
"As expected. I knew it. The Mangekyō Sharingan is not the end, but the beginning."
"I have demonstrated my power." Fugaku said in a low voice, "So, Orochimaru, what's next?"
Hearing this, the Snake Man smiled confidently.
"Next, I need thirty adult Uchiha clan members. Then... we'll begin the Mangekyō Sharingan transplantation!"
Transplanting the Mangekyō Sharingan! What a crazy idea! Even Fugaku was shocked by Orochimaru's bold proposal.
"What are the consequences of doing this?" He frowned.
"Ordinary people transplanting the Mangekyō Sharingan naturally can't withstand its power." Orochimaru smiled confidently, "However, Shin's Mangekyō Sharingan isn't as strong as the authentic ones. Plus, your clan members with Uchiha bloodline will receive the transplants. The mortality rate will decrease significantly!"
"Have you done this transplant before?" Fugaku asked in a low voice, his mind racing.
"Over a hundred times." Orochimaru's face still bore a bright smile.
"And the result?"
"All died."
"..."
Fugaku remained silent for a long time. Finally, he took a long, hard look at Orochimaru and said slowly:
"Alright. Thirty clan members will be sent here tomorrow."
Orochimaru nodded with a smile.
"It's a pleasure working with you."

In the Hokage's office in Konoha.
Hiruzen looked at the replies from Jiraiya and Tsunade. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
"They have already set out. It's expected that they will arrive at the village in two days."
Jiraiya and Tsunade! After the end of the Second Shinobi World War, they left — perhaps due to disappointment with Hiruzen's management policies.
And now, Konoha village was once again at a critical moment of life and death. The village needed combat power! Although they were dissatisfied with the village's management style, they still didn't want the village to be destroyed in their hearts.
"Danzo, how's the contact with Kumogakure going?" Hiruzen looked towards Danzo beside him and asked in a low voice.
"Contact has been established. We're currently waiting for their response," Danzo responded with his eyelids slightly lowered.
"Kumogakure can completely rely on their geographical advantage to catch Kirigakure off guard!" Hiruzen said gravely.
"For now, we can only wait for their reply."
