“Teacher, this… this can’t be real, right? Father, father is dead? But, how could he make such a huge mistake?” Uchiha Kagami’s voice was filled with disbelief and pain, and his body trembled slightly from extreme shock.
“This, this, this… he, he, he…” Uchiha Kagami’s mind was in chaos, and he completely couldn't accept this fact.
His father had always been his hero, the goal he strived to catch up to, yet now he was being told that his father had caused the deaths of two Anbu squads, a total of thirty-four elite Anbu members, due to a series of operational errors!
This was like a bolt from the blue for Uchiha Kagami; his mind went blank in an instant, and he completely didn't know what to say.
However, when he looked up and saw his teacher Senju Tobirama’s stern face, filled with killing intent, he suddenly realized that these mistakes were probably truly committed by his father.
Otherwise, with his teacher’s character,
How could he wrongly accuse his own father?
Thinking of his father’s past love for him and his death at this moment,
In an instant, Uchiha Kagami fell silent like a statue. After a moment, an unspeakable sorrow surged like a tide from the bottom of his heart. Driven by Chakra, a mysterious power seemed to erupt instantly in his brain, rushing into his eyes like a torrent. Under that mysterious power, his pupils were instantly dyed red like fresh blood, and two jet-black tomoe, like ink jade, appeared in each, resembling two shining stars. He had already activated his Two-Tomoe Sharingan.
“Sharingan, as expected of the inherently evil Uchiha Clan, to obtain power in such a way…” Senju Tobirama narrowed his eyes, a cold, frosty glint flashing in them.
But it was fleeting.
Not letting Uchiha Kagami on the opposite side notice the slightest!
The next moment,
He thought of something else and relaxed.
Such Sharingan power would be perfect for dealing with that genius named Uchiha Tenxiu.
After all, only Sharingan can counter Sharingan!
Meanwhile, Uchiha Kagami was still staring blankly at the papers, completely at a loss as to how to deal with everything before him.
Will Teacher Tobirama sever our teacher-student relationship?
Will the clan consider me a disgrace to the clan?
Will father be nailed to Konoha’s pillar of shame?
For a moment, Uchiha Kagami’s heart was incredibly complex, and he completely didn't know how to deal with the current situation.
He didn't even dare to look into Teacher Tobirama’s eyes.
Just as he was frozen in place,
Senju Tobirama in front of him shook his head helplessly, then slowly said, “Sigh! Who told you that you are my dear disciple? I will conceal this matter and give your father a dignified end. This is what I, as your teacher, can do for you!”
“Teacher…” Uchiha Kagami’s eyes instantly turned red. He suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with so much emotion that he didn't know what to say. A large amount of tears welled up, and in his blurry vision, that pair of tomoe quickly began to spin again.
What, could it be evolving again…
And Senju Tobirama’s heart was greatly wary.
As expected of the inherently evil Uchiha Clan, evil blood truly flows in their veins; they actually gain power through such emotions. This, this is truly too evil!
Senju Tobirama was filled with jealousy, but on the surface, he showed no abnormality. Just before the Sharingan was about to evolve, he slapped Uchiha Kagami again with a “smack”: “What is wrong with those tears of yours? Ah, answer me!”
Senju Tobirama reprimanded him, looking at Uchiha Kagami as if he had seen some disappointing behavior.
Uchiha Kagami was momentarily stunned by the blow, his mind instantly went blank, and the spinning of his Sharingan tomoe quickly stopped.
Senju Tobirama’s expression changed, and he continued to speak to Uchiha Kagami with a serious face: “As my direct disciple, Senju Tobirama, do you only know how to cry? A man sheds blood, not tears. From now on, if I see you crying again, do not say you are my disciple. As a truly excellent Ninja, you must always maintain your emotional stability!”
“Otherwise, you are just a third-rate Ninja. Tell me, do you want to be an excellent Ninja, or a third-rate Ninja?”
Senju Tobirama questioned him with a fixed gaze.
“I want to be an excellent Ninja!” Uchiha Kagami said blankly.
“Hmm, good!”
Looking at Uchiha Kagami, whose Sharingan evolution he had interrupted and who he had then brainwashed, Senju Tobirama nodded, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
“After this, in the external announcements, it will be publicized as an accident due to a natural disaster. For the internal Konoha Village announcement, it will be defined as Uchiha Madara’s summoned beast, the Nine-Tailed, going out of control. These people sacrificed their lives to suppress Uchiha Madara’s Nine-Tailed, and they will be recognized as heroes of Konoha who passed away!”
Senju Tobirama said with a sorrowful expression.
He changed the Nine-Tailed, which had already been sealed into Uzumaki Mito, into Uchiha Madara’s summoned beast.
This was to deliberately make people reflect on the Uchiha Clan.
Fortunately, the so-called Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki was an absolute secret, and only three people knew about it so far, so there was no fear of it being exposed.
At that time, no one would be able to refute it.
As for now,
Didn't he see how moved Kagami was?
Senju Tobirama looked at Uchiha Kagami, whose father he had defined as a disgrace, yet who still worshipped him. He had already thought of countless ways to make the other party trust him unconditionally.
In fact, looking at the utterly foolish Uchiha Kagami, who had no suspicion whatsoever, Senju Tobirama was secretly overjoyed.
He never expected that the Uchiha Clan would have such fools as Uchiha Ming and Uchiha Kagami.
Whatever he said, they believed.
Fortunately, Uchiha Kagami’s foolishness could continue his father Uchiha Ming’s path, allowing him to manipulate the Uchiha Clan.
Plus…
“Uchiha Tenxiu, huh? He hid himself quite well; I even misjudged him! He truly lives up to being the most inherently evil genius of the Uchiha Clan. This person must not be underestimated!”
Senju Tobirama’s gaze was sharp. He couldn't help but recall Uchiha Tenxiu, the young man he had once mocked, believing him to be merely clever and skilled in some minor tricks and odd techniques. He never expected that his momentary oversight would allow him to grow.
He could even develop A-rank Ninjutsu.
At this age, even his former rival, Uchiha Izuna, was completely incapable of doing these things.
If he continued to grow, with this person’s talent, he would definitely rise in the future and covet the position of Hokage.
“This person absolutely cannot be allowed to live!” Senju Tobirama made up his mind to secretly eliminate Uchiha Tenxiu.
However, he then recalled the Anbu member from the Senju Clan a few months ago. He had hoped to eliminate him while he was out, but due to a momentary lapse in judgment, he managed to survive, causing him a wave of regret.
However, I won't be careless this time.
A cold glint flashed in Senju Tobirama’s eyes.
Following that, Senju Tobirama gazed at Uchiha Kagami beside him and said firmly, “No matter how the external announcements spread, or what the final outcome will be, I only hope you remember that due to your father’s mistake, the Village suffered heavy losses. Although I, as your teacher, have resolved these troublesome issues for you this time, as my disciple, you must diligently study and become an outstanding Ninja, achieving great military merits for the Village. Only then can you erase the disgrace left by your father!”
“Tell me, can you do it!”
“Yes, Teacher, I swear that I will definitely become an outstanding Ninja in the future and wash away the shame brought by my father,” Uchiha Kagami said with great excitement and conviction, his heart burning like a flame, vowing to cleanse his father’s mistakes with glorious military achievements and make his current teacher, Senju Tobirama, look at him with new eyes.
“Hmm, I truly didn’t misjudge you. Then I will entrust a great responsibility to you. Only you, as a member of the Uchiha Clan, can complete this task. Do you have confidence?” Senju Tobirama’s eyes flashed with brilliance as he looked at Uchiha Kagami.
“Teacher, tell me!” Uchiha Kagami immediately perked up when he heard that only he could complete it, and then heard “Uchiha.”
“Very good. This mission is also something your father once did, which is to allow the Uchiha Clan to integrate into the collective of Konoha. Now I need you to approach the geniuses of the Uchiha Clan and show them the fire will…”
