“Why are you telling me the position coordinate of the new base of the Akatsuki Organization?” – asked Fugaku with a frown… he was a little stunned, after all, Shinichi’s current action is practically betraying the Akatsuki Organization… so Fugaku was taken aback and subconsciously stopped the invasion of Yin-Yang inside Shinichi.

“……” – however, to Fugaku’s question, Shinichi gave no reply, he remained silent and just shook his head.

Given the circumstances he is in, Shinichi can only pass on the Akatsuki Organization’s intelligence through the medium of Genjutsu while confronting the ‘enemies’, otherwise, his secret identity as a spy within the organization will be confirmed by White Zetsu Clones that are monitoring him, which is something Shinichi doesn’t want.

As for the reason why Shinichi passed on this information to Fugaku and not others? It is very simple, Shinichi was unable to meet any other person who would act as a safe channel and pass on the information to Kuroto.

Passing on Akatsuki’s intelligence to Fugaku is equivalent to passing it to Uchiha Shisui, and Shisui would definitely inform Kuroto about such an important piece of intelligence.

Although there is a certain risk factor involved in this approach because of the use of a second and third party that is acting as middlemen, Shinichi must pass on such critical information regardless of the risk factor as it might help Kuroto better plan out his next course of action against the Akatsuki Organization. Moreover, using this approach would also help Kuroto better understand Shinichi’s current situation within the Akatsuki Organization…

Seeing Shinichi’s silence, Fugaku said, “It seems that you are not truly loyal to the Akatsuki Organization… If so, then you will come back with me… as for your dissatisfaction with the clan and the village, this time I promise that I will not disappoi-……”

However, before Fugaku could finish his words, Shinichi interrupted coldly, “Patriarch-Sama… our views, intentions, and objectives differ… You have your consideration, and I have mine, no matter how much you try to persuade me, I will not be coming back… So, it’s better to end this conversation here… because it would just be a waste of time for both of us.”

What Shinichi said this time is his true intention… and he doesn’t plan on leaving the Akatsuki Organization, at least, not any time soon, and not without notifying Kuroto… The reason is that the more he stayed within the Akatsuki Organization the more he understood the depths of this terrorist organization whose primary objective is to bring ‘peace’ to this Shinobi World…

Shinichi is not sure whether this so-called peace can be achieved or not… but what he understands is that lurking within the Akatsuki Organization is extremely important as it would allow him to keep tabs on them.

Being able to detect and pass on the intelligence related to the horrendous plans of these lunatics to achieve their so-called ‘peace’ is far more significant for the Uchiha Clan, Konoha Village, and the entire Shinobi World; compared to going back to the clan with the Patriarch and help him become Konoha’s Hokage.

This is what he has come to believe and this is also the reason why Shinichi has never tried to explicitly come into contact with Kuroto ever since he was under suspicion… His identity as a spy may come in handy in the future.

“Humph… you don’t seem to understand your situation here Shinichi…” – Fugaku snorted coldly, then continued after a pause, “Whether you can retreat from here or not; is not up to you… I am the one who decides it…”

As soon as Fugaku finished, the blacks and whites that have been stagnant started to invade Shinichi’s body and started to blur his consciousness bit by bit.

At first glance, Shinichi doesn’t seem to be able to put up any resistance against the invasion of the black and whites. Aside from his consciousness, even his body in the Taikyokuzu Realm became mottled and slowly became part of this Yin-Yang prison world.

At this time, Fugaku’s voice sounded in the Taikyokuzu realm, “You needn’t worry Shinichi, I won’t be killing you… the cause of your defection also had the responsibility of the Clan, so after we go back, I will personally talk wi-…”

“Hahahaha…” – Before Fugaku could finish speaking, Shinichi whose consciousness was blurry and mottled suddenly laughed out loud, then without waiting for Fugaku to react, he immediately disappeared from the Taikyokuzu Plane.

Fugaku was shocked, “What the…?!”

Fugaku had expected various means that Shinichi would try to use in order to dispel Taikyokuzu, but not this kind…

There was no confrontation of Visual Prowess, no use of Genjutsu, and nothing at all… Shinichi just straight up disappear from the Yin-Yang plane as if he wasn’t even here, to begin with… And this disappearance was so abrupt that Fugaku didn’t even have the opportunity to stop Shinichi…

NO! To be more exact, Fugaku didn’t even have the opportunity to notice the disappearance of Shinichi… And it was only after Shinichi had disappeared that Fugaku realized and reacted.

Shocked at such a situation, Fugaku’s consciousness quickly returned to the real world, and asked Shinichi, “How did you do it?”

Shinichi smirked, “Don’t forget Patriarch-sama, you are not the only one here with Mangekyou Sharingan…”

Fugaku nodded stiffly, “I see… so it is related to your Mangekyou Dojutsu?”

Shinichi nodded, “I suppose you can say so… so it would be best that you don’t waste your Chakra and Visual Prowess on trying to stop me… because whether you use a physical attack or a spiritual attack… nothing would work on me…!”

After speaking so, Shinichi did not wait for Fugaku to react and quickly used Body Flicker Jutsu to disappear from his position without hesitation.

The information that had to be passed has been passed, so there is no longer any reason for him to stay here…

On the other hand, the three elite Uchiha who were surrounding Shinichi along with Fugaku looked at each other, then at Fugaku waiting for the Patriarch’s order, “Patriarch… whether to pursue Shinichi or not…?”

In response to the questioning gaze of the three elite Uchiha, Fugaku stood still, and remain silent for a while, then shook his head slightly, “NO… there would be more Akatsuki members there, so the situation would become disadvantageous for just the four of us… let him go this time…”

Fugaku’s words silenced the three Uchiha elites… and they could only helplessly look in the direction Shinichi disappeared.

While the three elite Uchiha were helpless, Fugaku thought, ‘I hope I did not make any mistake by letting you escape the Taikyokuzu plane…’ then turned his head to look in the direction of the forest on the side…

The other three Uchiha may not have noticed them, but Fugaku clearly sensed the presence of those non-human beings travelling through the earth and following after Shinichi…

Fugaku noticed that these non-human beings have been following Shinichi and their squad ever since they left Konoha. Only now when Shinichi has retreated did the presence of these non-human beings travelling through the ground disappear.

Initially, Fugaku thought that they were Shinichi’s companions, so Fugaku was also vigilant against the sneak attack from them… but now that Shinichi has indirectly revealed several things, Fugaku can obviously guess and figure out a lot of things…

Although those non-human beings are Shinichi’s so-called ‘companions’ from the Akatsuki Organization, they are more like monitoring Shinichi’s actions, than simply assisting him in resisting the enemy.

With this information alone, Fugaku was able to deduce a lot of things and acted as per those deductions.

Of course, Shinichi being able to escape the Taikyokuzu Plane was a surprise to Fugaku, but Shinichi being able to retreat from this place is because Fugaku allowed it.

The reason is obviously that Fugaku wants to see what are Shinichi’s true intentions.

Moreover, after today’s short confrontation with Shinichi, Fugaku has also confirmed one very important thing… And that one very important thing is that Shinichi neither holds animosity towards the Uchiha Clan nor towards Konoha, this is primarily the main reason why Fugaku allowed him to retreat without any further confrontation after he managed to escape the Yin-Yang Prison World.

“Well let’s wait and see…” muttered Fugaku to himself as he recovered his thoughts, then said to the three Uchiha elites, “Let’s go back… I am worried about the situation back in the Village…”

“Yes, Captain!” – the three Uchiha nodded, then rushed back towards the direction of the Village.
