CH 255

Naka Shrine is in the Uchiha Clan’s ancestral land. Its origin is untold, but the Uchiha Clan will gather here whenever major events happen!

When Kanpū’s shadow clone arrived here by following Fugaku and the others, he found that the square outside the shrine was filled with white stretchers. On the stretchers were the dead Uchiha Shinobi. The victims’ family members were weeping in sadness, and there are many Uchiha on guard on both sides.

Kanpū’s shadow clone crouched on a tree on the left side of the shrine. It is the best place to observe the shrine, as it is hidden and overlooks the entire shrine’s square!

But at this moment, the branches and leaves around Kanpū’s shadow clone suddenly swayed, and a figure suddenly appeared beside him in the next instant.

Kanpū’s shadow clone’s brow was raised, turning his head slightly, he looked at the other party through the hole in his mask from the corner of his eyes.

The other party is also wearing a mask, and the mask is decorated with fancy red stripes, and its pattern is also extremely ferocious. At first glance, it looks like he’s from the Root!

Kanpū’s shadow clone sneered in his heart: ‘Danzō seems to be have some ideas about these Uchiha’s eyes, but he didn’t dare to mess around at this time, otherwise he wouldn’t just send one Root’s Shinobi.

‘But… what do you mean by getting close to me?’

Kanpū’s shadow clone is very dissatisfied, and if it is not for the current situation, he would have kicked this Root’s Shinobi down!

At the same time, Fugaku ordered cremation after the survivors on the shrine square had finished giving their condolences.

That’s right, in order to prevent his clansmen’s Sharingan from being stolen, the only way is to cremate their corpses!

Uchiha Clan is still very united inside, and there is no family members who insisted their deceased family members to be buried.

‘What a pity.’

Kanpū’s shadow clone sighed in his heart, ‘After the body was cremated, the main body wouldn’t be able to collect them anymore.’ He then glanced at the Root’s Shinobi next to him. At this time, he hoped that this guy could jump out and stop the Uchiha Clan.

However, the Root’s Shinobi seems to come here to just confirm something. When he saw Fugaku cremated the remains, his body shook slightly, and then he disappeared in the next instant.

After the body was cremated, the Uchiha Clan’s Shinobi collected the ashes and put them into the urns, and then enshrined them in the main hall of the shrine.

After the family members finished their last condolences, they left one after another.

However, Kanpū’s shadow clone found that Uchiha Fugaku and the more than 30 Military Police Force’s elites who followed him had not left. They all stayed in the shrine’s main hall!

It’s just that from where Kanpū’s shadow clone is now, he can only see the shrine’s square, and the shrine’s main hall is at a blind spot.

Kanpū’s shadow clone pondered for a while, then gently jumped from the tree, and then cautiously walked towards the main gate of the shrine. There is a huge torii gate, which is red all over and extremely thick, with a Uchiha Shinobi standing under the pillar on the right side of the torii gate, and he looked around with a pair of two tomoe Sharingan opened.

Kanpū’s shadow clone immediately hid behind the pillar on the left of the torii gate, turned a half circle and looked inside the shrine’s square, and found that several Uchiha were walking around.

‘Why is the guard so strict?’

Kanpū’s shadow clone’s figure shrank and hid behind the pillar. He turned his head to look at the main hall of the shrine. As the door of the shrine’s main hall was not closed, Kanpū’s shadow clone could easily distinguish the Military Police Force’s elites including Shisui, but he did not find Fugaku’s figure at all!’

‘Uchiha Fugaku must have entered the secret room!’

Inside the main hall of Naka Shrine, beneath the seventh tatami mat from the far right, is the Naka Shrine’s secret room. Inside that place, stood a stone tablet left by Sage of Six Paths, which records some top-secret contents, but the contents above have been changed beyond recognition by Black Zetsu, who is the source of bad luck in the Shinobi World.

Kanpū’s shadow clone is becoming more and more sure that Fugaku has already awakened his Mangekyō, but he did not go to see the stone tablet’s content with the Military Police Force… He, like in the original work, chose to hide his Mangekyō from his clansmen!

At the same time.

Inside the secret room of Naka Shrine.

On both sides of the wall where the stone tablet is stored, there are two stone paintings of black tengu. However, Fugaku did not pay too much attention to it, but looked at the stone tablet focusedly.

He first used three tomoe Sharingan to check the contents, and then activated his Mangekyō. His scarlet pupils exuded a blood-colored light, which became more and more conspicuous in the dark secret room.

After activating his Mangekyō, Fugaku immediately read more of the content.

After some time passed, Fugaku slowly muttered to himself: “Uchiha Clan’s Sharingan actually has such a glorious past…”

He then looked down, but found the following text is unreadable again.

“It isn’t enough to have Mangekyō? Sharingan can indeed go further…”

However, although he could only read part of it, it still gave Fugaku a great impact!

And the first thought that popped into his mind was the environment Uchiha Clan was in right now. He always felt that the higher-ups of the village are afraid of the power of Sharingan and the Shinobi of the Uchiha Clan, so they kept targeting and persecuting them!

It’s as if a person suddenly learned that he was a descendant of the Qing Imperial Family, and then feels that everyone is going to harm him!

Fugaku is having such a feeling at this moment. He pondered for a while before the stone tablet, and finally closed his Mangekyō and walked out of the secret room.

The main hall of the shrine.

When Uchiha Fugaku came out of the secret room, several clansmen immediately stepped forward: “Clan Head, what happened, why did you go to the secret room specially?”

Fugaku waved his hand and said: “Don’t worry, I just want to be alone. Okay, let’s go back.”

After leaving Naka Shrine, Fugaku disbanded the people behind him and asked them to go back to their respective homes to gather with their family and have a day off.

Then Fugaku also went home.

After following here, Kanpū’s shadow clone turned around and joined Wild Dog, Wild Cat, and Peppa, who are further behind, and then reported Fugaku’s whereabouts to Wild Dog.

Wild Dog didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard the report of Kanpū’s shadow clone: “Husky, we all know what you said.”

Although Wild Dog and the others didn’t dare to follow too closely, they could still confirm their whereabouts by watching from the distance.

Wild Cat then asked: “Husky, have you heard what Uchiha Fugaku said specifically?”

Kanpū’s shadow clone shook his head and said: “There are more than 30 Military Police Force’s elites around him, I can’t get close at all.”

Although Transparent Release can make him invisible and eliminate the aura on his body, but it can’t eliminate sound and movement. No matter how light or slow a person walks, as long as someone is focused, they can hear the movement of the other’s footsteps and feel the subtle wind change caused by the other’s walking. Not to mention Fugaku, who is surrounded by thirty people!

“The other side is Uchiha Clan’s Clan Head after all, and he is also a Jōnin. Husky is right to be cautious.” Peppa said strangely.

Wild Dog sighed said: “Well, then the monitoring mission at night will be handed over to me and Wild Cat. Wild Boar and Husky will take over tomorrow morning.”

“Yes!”

…

Kanpū’s shadow clone and Peppa went back to the locker room on the third floor of the Hokage Tower to change their clothes. When Peppa left, Kanpū’s shadow clone dispersed directly.

In an instant, his memories of most of the day suddenly flooded into Kanpū’s mind, who was training frantically in the Forest of Death.

After the memory poured into his head, Kanpū staggered and almost fell.

He hurriedly put one hand on the tree to support himself and covered his forehead with the other hand, and then he quietly let his brain receive the long memory of the shadow clone.
