Amabie

In the folklore of the ninja world.

There was a type of creature called the "prophetic beast".

Sometimes, they would suddenly appear in the human world and speak human language. They would predict the future wars, epidemic diseases, drought and other bad luck, as well as tell people how to avoid misfortune.

After making an accurate prediction, this creature would immediately die. Its life was short and legendary, full of unknown mysteries.

Some people scoffed at the legend of the prophetic beast, while others believed it without a doubt.

Uchiha Fugaku belonged to the latter.

Because.

In his Mangekyo Sharingan, there was the same ability as the prophecy beast.

It was called Amabie.

This technique allowed Fugaku to see the fate of a certain person and see some fragments of the future that happened to the other person.

The target of the technique could be himself or others. As long as Sharingan recorded the opponent's chakra, it was enough.

Although the inertia of fate is strong, it is not static.

As long as one knew of fate ahead of time and put in enough effort, it was possible to change it, thereby achieving good fortune and avoiding danger.

This was the powerful aspect of Amabie.

However.

Such a heaven-defying eye technique naturally had its shortcomings.

First of all, the future that Amabie had seen was limited and incomplete. To be precise, it showed the most likely one of the countless paths of a person's fate.

Secondly, Amabie, like other gods, has to go through a cooling time of several years, or even more than ten years, after each use.

And it had a greater side effect -

It consumed a large amount of the caster's lifespan.

This was the price one had to pay to spy on the future with the body of a mortal.

The last time Fugaku used Amabie was six years ago at the night of the nine tails.

At that time, the nine tails went berserk and attacked Konoha Village.

That night, the fourth generation Hokage, who had just taken office and had a good relationship with Uchiha's clan, unfortunately died, and Uchiha's clan was also suspected to be related to the Nine-tail Chaos by Konoha's higher-ups.

Because at that time, many people saw that the Nine-tail Eye had become Sharingan.

This meant that the Nine-tail was controlled by Sharingan's eye power.

In the face of the suspicion and hatred of the entire village, in order to resolve the crisis of Uchiha's clan, Fugaku had no choice but to mobilize Amabie.

The result.

He saw that Uchiha's clan was dissatisfied with the village's higher-ups' suppression and initiated a coup. In the end, they were exterminated.

Therefore.

As Clan leader, Fugaku chose to compromise and listen to the arrangements of Konoha's higher-ups to move Uchiha's clan to the edge of the village.

And in the following days, he endured the suppression of the higher-ups again and again.

Until he successfully passed the date of the prophecy.

He saved his family once at the cost of five years of his life.

But it was still the same sentence, the inertia of fate was strong.

Sometimes, it might be delayed by some kind of power, but in the end, it would come. This was the so-called "fate".

For example, the fate of Uchiha's clan.

Although Uchiha avoided a disaster, the problem he faced was not solved. Instead, in these few years, it became more and more serious.

Fugaku knew very well.

Every decision made by a person and a family would affect the fate of the future.

Now.

It was time to make a choice.

Fuuh..

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Then, he muttered to himself,

"Then, let me see it again. I want to see where Uchiha's clan will eventually go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Amabie activated.

This time, Fugaku did not target himself, but instead... Uchiha Dan.

In fact.

It is precisely because of Dan's sudden appearance, and his majestic appearance of suppressing the entire Uchiha clan by himself at the clan meeting, that Fugaku made up his mind to launch the Amabie this time.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

Scenes appeared out of thin air in Fugaku's eyes. They flashed past like flowers, reflecting a lively world.

At this moment, he saw the future.

However, this future did not seem to be beautiful.

Fugaku saw the familiar Hokage building and Konoha street, as well as the two groups of people who were fighting fiercely on the battlefield.

One of them is the Anbu guarding the Hokage Building and the ninjas of Konoha's major ninja clans. At a glance, there are Ino-Shika-Cho, Hyuga, Inuzuka, Aburame, Kurama...

And the enemy they were fighting against was none other than Uchiha's clan.

Was Uchiha still on the road of coup in the end?

Then.

Fugaku saw himself in the crowd, and he was turning on Susano to protect the clan, rushing back and forth in the encirclement of Konoha ninjas.

Under his leadership, the clansmen fought bravely and killed a large number of enemies.

However, facing enemies that were ten times stronger than themselves, Uchiha suffered heavy losses under the siege, and many of the clansmen that Fugaku was familiar with turned into cold corpses lying on the ground.

"Roar!"

A roar sounded. It was the berserk Kyubi. It was once again controlled by Sharingan's power and was wantonly destroying the village.

The entire Konoha was filled with tragic scenes, corpses everywhere, blood flowing like rivers, it was simply hell on earth.

Fugaku suddenly realized that something was missing.

Right, where was Dan?

His eyeballs spun quickly, scanning every corner of the picture, and finally found it.

Dan actually didn't participate in the battle, but for some reason, he stood in Hokage's office, looking down at the battlefield below through the huge window.

He opened his arms wide, looked up at the sky and laughed wildly. A pair of scarlet eyes, surprisingly, were the shape of Mangekyo that Fugaku had never seen before.

Then.

Dan seemed to have finally laughed enough. He directly smashed the window and jumped out of Hokage's building.

Boom.

A powerful chakra burst out from Dan's body and soared into the sky.

Everyone on the battlefield looked up at him in shock.

Here.

Fugaku suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and the scene in front of him quickly became blurry. He couldn't see anything clearly.

The next second.

Two rows of terrifying blood tears flowed down his eyes.

What did these scenes indicate?

Fugaku covered his eyes and tried hard to recall the fragments of the future he had just seen and tried to come up with a conclusion.

Would Dan be the person who saved Uchiha?

Fugaku could not see clearly.

He really... could not see clearly.

In the north of the Fire Nation, in a vast, uninhabited forest.

Mountain Cemetery.

Obito lay on the bed, listening to White Zetsu's report.

When he learned that Shisui had opened Mangekyo, he was only a little surprised.

But when he heard that Dan was tearing apart Susanoo bare-handed, he couldn't help but frown with a fearful expression.

In the end, when White Zetsu said that Dan used Shinra Tensei to send away all the Uchiha clansmen, Obito's expression management finally failed completely.

Swish.

With a face full of horror, he suddenly sat up from the bed.

Shinra Tensei?

Wasn't that Rinnegan's ability ?!

During this period of time, when Obito was recuperating in bed, he still couldn't figure out how Dan reversed the situation that night and tore off his two arms.

Now, it seemed that he had used Rinnegan's ability?

Not only Obito, but Black Zetsu was also shocked.

He had been the mastermind for a thousand years, stirring up Indra and Asura's internal strife time and time again. In the end, he finally managed to create a pair of Rinnegan on Uchiha Madara.

Who was that Uchiha that could silently open Rinnegan?

No, it was not that simple.

The opening of Rinnegan not only required eternal Mangekyo, but also the transplantation of the first generation Hokage's cells. Moreover, after obtaining the power, it would take dozens of years to give birth.

Even Uchiha Madara was only lucky enough to open his eyes when he was on the verge of death.

No way, it's impossible.

Dan and Black Zetsu finally came to a conclusion - the so-called Shinra Tensei was most likely just a gimmick of Dan.

But no matter what the truth was, there was one thing that was 100% certain:

Uchiha's clan had three pairs of Mangekyo.

"This is a problem." Black Zetsu said in a deep voice.

Obito also had a serious expression on his face.

All along.

One of the things he was most worried about was the fact that more Mangekyo appeared in Uchiha. After all, as an eye-opener, he knew very well how powerful these eyes were.

Mangekyo's abilities were strange and could create infinite possibilities.

No.

He could not let Uchiha continue to exist. He had to destroy this clan as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he thought.

Obito's eyes turned cold, and he pulled off the bandage on his arm and walked down from the bed.

"I'm going to Konoha."

He coldly said, put on his cloak, picked up the tiger tattoo mask, and strode out of the Mountain Cemetery.

As for how to kill Uchiha, Obito already had a plan.
