Hatake Kakashi Absolutely Will Not Be a Chakra Unit!

Chapter 96: Madara is Alive

"I don't know if the disappearance of those two clansmen is related to him, but when I fought him, Danzo did indeed reveal a Sharingan."

"Over these years, the number of missing Sharingan from the Uchiha clan has been increasing. Many clansmen have met tragic fates. It's understandable during wartime, but this has been happening since times of peace. Obito Uchiha, if what you say is true, then the Sharingan in Danzo's possession may not be limited to the one in his right eye."

"Do Lord Third Hokage and Lord Fourth Hokage know about this?"

"I think the Third Hokage probably knows. The Fourth is likely unaware."

"Everyone is dismissed. Obito, you come with me."

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. The two elders representing the conservative faction and Shisui Uchiha exchanged a look, both seeing worry in each other's eyes. If what Obito Uchiha said was true, then the rift between Konoha and the Uchiha clan was about to widen to an irreparable degree. Civil war would be inevitable.

The Sharingan was the Uchiha clan's bottom line. From the past to the present, no outsider had ever possessed the Sharingan. Danzo was the first.

"Lord Clan Head, may I have a word?"

"Shisui, if you want to talk about the Danzo matter, I will naturally go and verify it."

"Lord Clan Head... Lord Third Hokage, he..."

"Shisui!!"

With a sharp cry, Fugaku revealed his Mangekyo Sharingan and looked at the only other Mangekyo Sharingan user in the clan.

"Do not forget, you are an Uchiha."

"...Yes."

Shisui's retreat signified that the conservative faction was in an unprecedentedly painful predicament. On one side was the peace of the village, and on the other was the family that had raised them. The stakes were like a fisherman's net; the more they struggled, the tighter they became entangled.

Obito did not waver in his thoughts. In the scroll Kakashi had given him, one sentence had left a deep impression on him.

"When unavoidable, sacrificing a portion of the Uchiha clan is a good choice. Different stances will only deepen the conflict."

If the conservatives insisted on standing with Konoha, refusing to let the Uchiha clan move out or go to war with Konoha, then the war-hawks would naturally take care of them.

As for Shisui Uchiha's ability, Obito was not worried at all. Kakashi had said he had a way to counterbalance Kotoamatsukami. When the time came for Shisui to make a move, he would naturally hand him over to Kakashi to deal with.

He and Fugaku walked quickly through the clan's paths to the clan head's residence. The extremely traditional Uchiha clan still retained some of the habits of the Warring States period. Kneeling in the room specially designated for receiving guests, Mikoto Uchiha poured a cup of tea for the two of them. Seeing Fugaku's serious expression, she left the room and closed the door.

The Uchiha clan head wanted to see the shadow of a certain person in this young man whose strength had skyrocketed since awakening his eyes, but this boy was nothing like that great man. Although he only had an ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan, his strength was already approaching his own.

Obito spoke first, describing the events in the Land of Rain. He omitted his purpose in the process and deliberately emphasized the existence of Akatsuki.

What Fugaku wanted to hear was not this, but news of Danzo. However, he still listened patiently as Obito recounted the entire incident in the Land of Rain, until Obito stated that he was certain Hanzo of the Salamander and Danzo had died together.

"Danzo is still alive."

"Yes."

"To survive that level of poison gas, there is only one dōjutsu."

"Izanagi."

He said the name of the jutsu for the clan head. When Obito saw this secret technique in the scroll, his shock was even greater than Fugaku's now. How did Kakashi know so many of the Uchiha's secret techniques and secrets? And the information below that pushed this shock to its absolute peak.

Next, he was to speak words to the silent clan head that would subvert his entire understanding of the Uchiha.

"Lord Clan Head, do you think the Mangekyo Sharingan is the limit of the Sharingan?"

"What do you mean?"

The young man across from him spoke of matters unrelated to Danzo, interrupting Fugaku's train of thought.

"You must find it strange, don't you? Even though you've awakened the ultimate dōjutsu, the Mangekyo Sharingan, you feel your visual prowess constantly declining, and the method to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan is unattainable. How much of your eyesight do you have left now?"

"...How do you know these things?"

"Because I have seen the Rinnegan."

"What?"

The Uchiha clan head's pupils shrank abruptly. Among the three great dōjutsu, the most mysterious and unpredictable, the Rinnegan, had always been the object of the family's search. And now, a clansman who had seen the Rinnegan was standing right in front of him, alive.

"The Rinnegan is the highest form of the Sharingan."

"He's right."

A bolt of lightning transformed into a purple flash and broke through the door at astonishing speed. Only after Fugaku saw this person—with an extremely ordinary appearance, wearing a black robe with red clouds—did the sound arrive.

Against such an unknown intruder, the Uchiha clan head had only one recourse.

As his Mangekyo Sharingan spun, a genjutsu powerful enough to distort a person's spirit, no less potent than Tsukuyomi, was released. But against this silver-haired young man, this dōjutsu was like a stone sinking into the sea.

The Ryumyaku chakra instantly broke through this highest-level genjutsu. Not advancing further, Kakashi stood beside Obito and spoke to the clan head, who was still emitting killing intent.

"The Uchiha clan's departure from Konoha is a destined event. It's not easy for the Uchiha to make Danzo reveal his right eye. Leave this task to me. I will help you retrieve the remaining Sharingan."

"Who are you?"

"A witness to the future of the Uchiha clan."

"You mysterious fellow!"

"As long as the Uchiha exist in Konoha for a single day, civil war is inevitable. At that time, whether Konoha wins or the Uchiha win, it will be a huge blow to the Uchiha clan. There is only one way to avoid this path!"

"And that is to leave Konoha."

"The future of the Uchiha clan does not need outsiders to interfere."

"I knew you would say something like that."

Kakashi let out a soft chuckle and dropped another bombshell.

"Madara Uchiha is still alive."

"!!!"

"As long as he is alive, there is no possibility of reconciliation between Konoha and the Uchiha."

"Why should I believe you!"

"On the fact that I have been to the future."

The erupted Ryumyaku chakra shattered the surrounding bricks and tiles. Fugaku Uchiha felt the power of space-time contained within this powerful chakra and couldn't help but believe him a little.

"I am not your enemy, but your ally."

"Why help the Uchiha?"

"If I had to say, it's because of Obito."

Sitting cross-legged beside Obito Uchiha, Fugaku finally understood that these two were working together.

"Not a single word I've said to him is false. As for whether you believe me, it will all be revealed when I fight Danzo."
