Six Eyes of the Uchiha Family Chapter 121 - Their Reactions (2024)

Fugaku closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes had returned to their normal black color.

He sighed and said, "These two eye techniques are a gift Shigenomura gave me with his life."

"If only my earth wall hadn't crumbled in the explosion... If I had anticipated Kirigakure's counterattack before leaving..."

"These pupil techniques are well deserved. The abilities of these eyes seem to reflect my regrets from that time."

Shintaro also found it extraordinary that the eye abilities were actually related to the emotions felt when the eyes were awakened.

Fugaku's face showed signs of exhaustion, as if he had aged instantly. He felt the tears on his face deeply, and his regret was evident.

Seeing the situation, Shintaro tactfully left, leaving Fugaku alone in the tent to rest.

News of the great victory on the Eastern Front was brought to Konoha by Shikaku.

In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen convened an emergency meeting specifically for this issue. The other participants in the meeting were his three old friends, Shimura Danzo, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu.

Hiruzen wore the Hokage hat and held a pipe in his mouth without speaking.

Danzo, seeing the silence of the group, spoke up with a grim expression: "Sarutobi, I told you not to let the Uchiha Clan participate in the war. Now it's too late to regret."

"This time the Uchiha Clan's performance on the Eastern Front was completely unexpected. It has only increased the Uchiha Clan's reputation in the village. Now the Uchiha Clan is becoming even harder to control. If you knew this, you should have listened to my advice..."

Danzo was about to say more, but Koharu interrupted him.

"Enough, Danzo, we're not here to listen to your complaints."

A glint of light flashed under Homura's glasses, and he spoke in a deep voice: "The Uchiha Clan should be called back. The reason is that the village's defenses are empty and need strengthening."

"What about Uchiha Shintaro? He is not part of the police force, but he played a significant role in this war. It's difficult to handle."

Koharu then brought up Shintaro, the main contributor to the Eastern Front War.

Homura adjusted his glasses and said with strategic confidence: "Promote him to a command level and send him to the Land of Rain."

"The Land of Rain?" Koharu turned to look at Homura.

"Yes, that's the battlefield between Iwagakure and Sunagakure. Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Hanzo are all involved in a complex situation there. I don't expect him to make any waves there. We just need to keep him quiet for a while. The fame and attention will fade."

Homura explained his thoughts.

Danzo was very dissatisfied with this: "Hah, you are too clever. What if Uchiha Shintaro seizes the opportunity to earn more merit? Wouldn't he be even harder to control?"

"The Land of Rain is a mixed battlefield. No matter how strong he is, he is just a teenager. What trouble can he cause? Besides, it will be fine as long as we don't give him enough troops."

Homura was very confident in his strategy.

"I think it would be better to send Uchiha Shintaro to the most dangerous battlefield and take the opportunity to get rid of this kid. Otherwise, he will become a problem for Konoha sooner or later." Danzo's thoughts were even more sinister.

It could be said that Danzo had no goodwill towards Uchiha Shintaro at all. Coupled with his wariness towards the Uchiha, Shintaro was already on his list of threats.

"Danzo, you are going too far. After all, Shintaro is a Konoha ninja..." Hiruzen finally spoke.

"I am merely carrying out the will of the Second Hokage to eliminate threats to Konoha." Danzo spoke righteously, as if he were the embodiment of justice.

"No need to say more. I have decided to call back the Uchiha Clan to consolidate the defenses of Konoha Village and order Uchiha Shintaro to lead troops to the Land of Rain. He will lead 500 men to the Land of Rain and guard the gateway to the Fire Nation."

Hiruzen immediately announced his decision.

Homura and Koharu had no objections.

Shimura Danzo said angrily: "You will regret this, Sarutobi."

"Danzo, I am the Hokage."

Hiruzen spoke calmly, then stood up and turned around, looking at Konoha Village outside the window without saying a word.

Danzo was again frustrated by the word "hokage" and immediately slammed the door and left.

Homura and Koharu relayed the orders on behalf of the Hokage.

❀❀❀

The news quickly spread to the Eastern Front.

Shikaku announced the Hokage's orders.

"Fugaku, these are the Hokage's orders, I..."

Shikaku initially thought Fugaku's reaction would be very intense. After all, the Uchiha Clan was being called back after making great contributions to Konoha without any reward.

However, Fugaku accepted the orders very calmly.

"It's fine, I will take the Uchiha Clan back tomorrow, and I'll leave this place to you." Fugaku patted Shikaku on the shoulder and said.

Shikaku glanced at Fugaku's hand on his shoulder, then looked at Fugaku and said: "I don't want to see the Uchiha Clan treated unfairly. I will appeal to the Hokage."

Fugaku let go and said, "No need. It is the Uchiha Clan's duty to protect Konoha. The Hokage is doing the right thing."

Shikaku nodded, said nothing, and turned to find Shintaro.

He happened to meet him outside the camp.

"Shintaro, these are your orders."

He handed the transfer order to Shintaro and said, "You are now in command, so you must act more carefully."

Shintaro accepted the order and smiled: "Don't worry, Shikaku-sensei, I'm not a child anymore."

Hearing this, Shikaku felt relieved and gave further instructions, "In the Land of Rain, Sunagakure and Iwagakure are mostly fighting. It's best for Konoha not to get involved. We are not seeking merit but also not seeking fault. You also know... The Uchiha Clan is being watched closely these days."

Shikaku said and left.

Shintaro watched Shikaku's back and thought: "Shikaku-sensei, which side will you stand on..."

He pondered for a long time, then turned and entered the camp.

Fugaku was seen sitting with his head raised, his left eye tightly closed, and red blood tears streaming down.

Shintaro stepped forward and handed over a piece of paper, seeing that Fugaku's eye power had been exhausted.

"Captain, did you just use Daikokuten?"

Fugaku wiped away the blood and tears, opened his red left eye, and said hoarsely: "Yes, I didn't expect that after using it a few times, the burden would be so heavy, I feel my vision is a bit blurry."

"What did you see with this eye?" Shintaro asked

"I saw the destruction of Konoha, and we both became rogue ninjas, hahaha." Fugaku suddenly laughed at himself, completely unlike his usual self.

But soon, his expression turned to despair.

"I concluded a future where we took advantage of the village's lack of defense to launch a coup. The result was as I just said. All clan members died, and only we survived. Then the other four great nations saw the change in Konoha and collectively destroyed Konoha."

"I have concluded several times, and the best result is the annihilation of the entire Uchiha Clan."

"Shintaro... Will the Uchiha Clan really be destroyed?"

Fugaku asked with a painful look on his face, covering his eyes.

Shintaro's reaction was very calm, and he said: "Captain, the future you see may not be accurate."

"I will change the fate of the Uchiha Clan."
