Fugaku chased closely behind the people chasing in front of him.

This was a dark environment to begin with.

Coupled with the unusual panic around.

This made him have no doubts at all.

He just wanted to catch up quickly.

He wanted to catch up with his good friend Sekai as soon as possible.

He wanted to help Sekai capture Kumogakure.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

One figure after another flashed through Konohagakure's streets. Each person was not slow, all of them maintaining a speed that Fugaku could not catch up to and could not shake off.

"Fugaku, hurry up and catch up. Akaru-sama will be here soon!"

Not far behind Fugaku.

An eager voice sounded.

The person who spoke was a Konoha Military Police Force member, but they were weak, so it was impossible for them to catch up.

"Understood!"

Fugaku roared. He did not care who the person who said this was. He did not know why this person appeared behind him. All of this was not important at this moment.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The intruders directly entered the small forest.

Sekai followed behind, madly chasing them into the forest; there was no place to retreat.

These two groups all accelerated their speed.

Gradually, they opened up a bit of space with Fugaku.

"Why are you running so fast?"

Fugaku complained in his heart, but his footsteps did not stop at all. He wanted to stop Sekai. After all, if he continued to chase like this, Sekai would be outnumbered. It was very likely that he would be in danger.

Just like this.

Fugaku chased for nearly ten minutes.

He suddenly found that Sekai's figure had become even more blurred in front of him.

"STOP!"

At this time, Sekai roared again, attracting Fugaku's attention again.

"Hahahaha, ridiculous, there are actually Konohagakure's people chasing after me. It seems that they don't put me, Gasshi, in their eyes!"

All of a sudden.

Another wild voice rang out.

As soon as this voice came out.

Fugaku suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Chi chi chi...

In an instant.

Lightning flashed in the forest in front of Fugaku, and thunder roared in all directions. A tall and sturdy man glowing in blue directly rushed out from the side toward Sekai.

"NO!!!"

Fugaku opened his eyes wide. His three tomoe Sharingan shone with an evil light at this moment, but it didn't have any effect. His eyes couldn't attack from a long distance, and it was even more impossible for him to control the battle at this time.

"BOOM!!!"

That blue glow directly hit Sekai's body and instantly made Sekai spurt out blood; Sekai flew back at an even faster speed.

This scene.

It had just happened not too long ago.

However, Aoba showed it to Fugaku again through his shadow clone.

"NOOO!!!!"

Fugaku's roar became louder. He and Sekai had known each other since they were young, and they were very good friends. They often moved together and never thought that Sekai would die in front of him one day.

"Gahahaha, he is actually an Uchiha clan member. It doesn't matter if we don't get Byakugan this time; it is also good to grab a pair of Sharingan!"

The voice of Gasshi echoed in the forest.

Soon after, there was the sound of shuttling.

There were only pitch-black figures flashing under cover of the night, and it was impossible to see how many people there were.

"SEKAI!!!"

Fugaku shouted loudly. He used all the strength in his body and instantly increased his speed.

A few breaths later.

Fugaku came to the side of the tree where Sekai had crashed and just happened to see two young men leaving with an old man.

If he chased now.

He could still catch up.

However.

He cared more about Sekai.

Then.

Fugaku came to the front of Sekai. When he saw the miserable condition of Sekai, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, and the three tomoe in his pupils began to tremble.

"Se... kai... you... AHHHH!"

A violent chakra emerged in Fugaku's brain. He clearly felt that Sekai no longer had any vitality in front of him.

Not only that.

The state of Sekai's death was extremely miserable.

Sekai's chest had completely collapsed. All of his internal organs had exploded, and blood still flowed out from his mouth. All of them were dyed a dark red from his chin to his neck to his clothes.

What Fugaku could not bear the most was...

There were no eyes on Sekai's face, and blood was flowing down from those empty eyes sockets.

"Kumogakure!"

"Gasshi!"

"Hari!"

"All of you must die!"

Fugaku's emotional fluctuation reached the extreme. Three pitch-black tomoe instantly linked together in his eyes, then began to rotate. Two lines of bloody tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes.

At this moment.

Fugaku opened his Mangekyo Sharingan.

It was a bit earlier than the original trajectory.

If not for Aoba's intervention, Sekai would have died in the Third Ninja World War. At that time, Fugaku would have opened his Mangekyo Sharingan.

But now...

Because he discovered something he shouldn't have discovered, Sekai paid the price of his life in advance.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Just after Fugaku opened his Mangekyo Sharingan, Konoha Military Police Force's people quickly arrived behind him.

They all stopped behind Fugaku.

At this time.

They all saw Sekai's corpse.

Everyone's chest rose and fell uncontrollably.

It was just that...

All they saw was the corpse.

They did not witness the entire process of "Sekai" being "killed" as Fugaku did.

For a moment.

Everyone fell silent.

The Uchiha clan was a clan that loved to the extreme. At the same time, it was also a clan that hated to the extreme.

Even though no one said anything.

Everyone was shocked.

A moment later.

The crowd parted.

The Konoha Military Police Force Captain, Akaru, walked over. When he saw Sekai's tragic death, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Fugaku, who did this?" Akaru clenched his fists tightly. He had trusted Sekai very much during this period of time. Now that he saw Sekai die so miserably, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

"Kumogakure, Gasshi."

Fugaku slowly closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, the special pattern of his Mangekyo Sharingan had already returned to pitch-black pupils.

Only then did Fugaku turn around and look at the clansmen behind him.

At that moment just now.

He felt that his eyes were filled with mysterious power.

It was very powerful.

But it was also difficult to control.

He suddenly thought of the man in black, Madara, and that stone tablet.

He also thought of Akaru's previous suspicion of him.

Therefore.

Fugaku chose to conceal the matter of Mangekyo Sharingan.

Unless he had no other choice.

He would not let anyone know.

This was his trump card!

"I'll go look for Kumogakure's envoy now!" Akaru clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

"I'll have to trouble Akaru-sama."

On the contrary, Fugaku's tone became flat. It did not sound like there was a strong fluctuation in his tone. His entire mood was calm.

This change in mentality.

Even Fugaku himself did not know why.

When he witnessed Sekai's death, the grief and indignation in his heart were particularly strong.

But when all of this was over.

He discovered that the entire world had changed.

"The few of you, bring Sekai's corpse back!"

"The rest of you, follow me to find Kumogakure's envoy group!"

"Everyone else, search for traces of Kumogakure's ninjas in the forest. As long as you find their figures, capture them immediately. Regardless of life or death!"

Akaru immediately gave orders. After arranging for everyone present, he began to walk aggressively in the direction of Kumogakure's envoy group location.

He arranged for Fugaku to be on the task of bringing Sekai's corpse back.

Because he saw a kind of sadness in Fugaku. This feeling was not suitable to catch people or find trouble with Kumogakure's envoy group.

A moment later.

Silence returned to the small forest.

Swish...

Pieces of paper flew.

At the top of the tree where Sekai's body was located.

A figure walked out from the branches of the tree.

As he appeared.

The part above the branches disappeared.

If anyone were to see this scene, they would definitely be shocked.

It turned out that the branches at the top of the tree were actually made up of paper.

"Fugaku really opened Mangekyo Sharingan."

Aoba stood on the branch, looking down at the forest.

The scene that had just appeared.

Everything was within his expectations.

This was also the reason why he had specially arranged for Fugaku to come and witness this scene.

Aoba had long learned about the relationship between Sekai and Fugaku from Sekai's memories.

The two of them could be said to have a very good relationship.

In addition, during this period of time, Aoba had observed Fugaku.

And the memories of Kenji that he had read before.

He got a piece of information.

Sekai was one of the few true friends in Fugaku's life.

In the plot of the Uchiha clan, Aoba knew that the reason why Fugaku had Mangekyo Sharingan was that he witnessed the death of his friend in the Third Ninja World War.

Now all of this.

It was just a gift.

"Brother Sekai."

"Although you betrayed Fugaku."

"I still made your death valuable."

"This is your apology to Fugaku!"

Aoba looked into the distance and looked in the direction of the Hokage Building.

"Uchiha Sekai."

"Your name will forever be recorded in the history of the Ninja World."

"Not only will it become eternal in Fugaku's heart, but it might also be the fuse for the Third Ninja World War in the future."

"At this point."

"There is no possibility of peace talks between Konoha and Kumo!"

Aoba looked at the continuous sounds coming from the direction of Konohagakure's bustling area.

The Kumogakure intruders were dead.

Sekai was also dead.

However...

The more emotional side this time.

It belonged to Konohagakure!
