Walking through the road in the Uchiha Clan while carrying his younger brother on his back, Itachi looked a little dazed.

The Uchiha Clan was very noisy at the moment, with the crying and screaming of children, arguing of adults, and all kinds of rushing around. ​​

Everything seems to indicate that something bad was about to happen.

Even before he reached his house, Itachi could already see the silhouettes of several Uchiha shinobi in a combat-ready state waiting excitedly at the door of his house.

From a single glance, they all look excited and happy about something!

Looking at these people, Itachi silently walked through the door to not attract their attention upon himself or Sasuke.

After entering the house, he was again surprised to find that the yard of his house was also full of Uchiha Clansmen.

The only difference was that all the clansmen gathered here were either Shinobi of Special Jonin Rank or Jonin Rank, there was no sign of even a single Chunin or Genin present here.

"How come so many elites gathered here at this time?" – Muttered Itachi as even he was a little worried seeing all these people gathered here.

His guess was only confirmed when he heard the vague sounds of an ongoing argument, down the lobby.

Noticing the familiar voice, Itachi stopped and listened attentively.

…

In the Lobby.

Shisui who was in the presence of several Elite Uchiha Jonin said decisively, "You are all crazy! I will never allow this to happen!"

One of the Uchiha's Elite was furious at Shisui's words and shouted angrily, "Shisui, are you going to betray the clan? Do not forget that you too are an Uchiha!"

"It is because I am Uchiha that I would not allow you all to trample our pride only to bring ruin to the Uchiha Clan!" – after a short pause, Shisui turned towards the Patriarch Fugaku who was sitting silently and said with the sincerest expression, "Patriarch, you must have considered the consequences of the Coup! Once the Village falls into a Civil War, Cloud and Rock wouldn't hesitate to intervene to attain benefits, by then even if the position of the Hokage is in the hands of the Uchiha Clan, how will we resist the entire shinobi army of four great villages?"

Even before Fugaku could speak a word, another Uchiha elite Jonin said with an arrogant snort, "As long as the Uchiha are here, Konoha doesn't need to fear either of the Rock or Cloud!"

Immediately the group of Jonin present here nodded in agreement, "Yes, with Uchiha Clan in Konoha, there isn't any threat that we can't deal with!"

Seeing that the situation was being escalated beyond control, Uchiha Fugaku raised his hands and calmed down everyone, then said to Shisui, "Shinichi has already rebelled, we don't have any other choice Shisui!"

Shisui shook his head and silenced everyone with his voice, "No! We do have a choice!"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Fugaku stared at Shisui, waiting for him to explain whatever he wanted to say.

After taking a deep breath, Shisui stated, "Shinichi's behavior is his personal choice to pursue revenge for Kurumi's death, and his actions don't have anything to do with the Uchiha Clan. Don't you all see, he didn't notify any of the shinobi in the Clan before carrying out the rebellion, it just shows that neither does he has any intention of relying on the Clan nor does he want us to get involved in his personal matter!"

One of the Jonin who has been quiet throughout the discussion finally asked Shisui, "But Shinichi has awakened the Legendary Mangekyou Sharingan! Are we just going to let him die in the hands of the village like this?"

Before Shinichi started acting, he knocked down this Jonin who was in charge of monitoring Shinichi, because of what Shinichi did to the two Uchiha-nin at the Naka Shrine.

And this Uchiha Jonin was able to notice Shinichi's Mangekyou very clearly, therefore all the elites of the Uchiha Clan have learned that Uchiha Shinichi has awakened Uchiha's Legendary Eyes!

This is also the main reason why they are all clamouring here to launch a Coup, the people of the Uchiha Clan are convinced that the Legendary Mangekyou Sharingan is unmatched in the Shinobi World!

Shisui begged by bowing before everyone present, "Please just trust me, I will definitely bring back Shinichi with my own hands and then I will persuade Hokage-Sama to spare his life for the actions he took! Please just have faith in me!"

The current Konoha severely lacks Kage Class Combat personnel, therefore Shisui believes that as long as he successfully brings back Shinichi, it is very likely that Sandaime will forgive him, in order to preserve important combat personnel for the village!

After all, the threat from the Cloud Village hasn't been lifted and until the peace agreement is signed by both parties, a war may break out at any instant!

Glancing at Shisui who was too eager Fugaku indifferently stated, "I am sorry to disappoint you Shisui, but with Shinichi's current strength you stand no chance against him!"

Fugaku knows full well just how powerful Mangekyou can be, after all, he also has those cursed eyes, so in his opinion, even if Shisui is the most genius shinobi of the Uchiha Clan, he still wouldn't stand a chance against Shinichi who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Patriarch's cold words made him understand that he can no longer hide his Mangekyou, so after taking a deep breath, he immediately opened his Mangekyou and again said with a bow, "Now, I believe that you can trust my words Fugaku-Sama, please give me a chance, I will definitely bring Shinichi back safely!"

At this moment Shisui has made up his mind to bring Shinichi back to the village even if he had to use Kotoamatsukami to do it!

"Shisui, when did you…?" – Everyone looked at the four-pointed pinwheel with shock, amazement, or awe in their eyes.

Even Fugaku was a little dazed for a second.

Looking at Shisui's Mangekyou, at this moment a sudden thought sparked in Fugaku's mind, 'With the presence of three Mangekyou Sharingan, it may not be impossible for the Uchiha Clan to take the position of Konoha's Hokage!'

…

At the Root Base.

Staring at Obito standing opposite to him, Kuroto started thinking of all the countermeasures he can use.

The strength of Obito was fully revealed on the night of Kyuubi's Rebellion.

Not only was he able to control Kyuubi with a single Mangekyou but also get past all the Anbu squads of the Sandaime-Sama, even when fighting against Minato-Sama, he was sturdy enough to stand the blow of several Rasengan attacks and still not suffer any serious damage.

'It would be too difficult to kill him without Kakashi's Mangekyou!"

Kuroto reached this conclusion without any complicated analysis.

Although it is easy for Kuroto to repel Obito with his strength, Killing is another matter altogether and Kuroto knows that even if not impossible, it is still very difficult.

After all, Kuroto doesn't have any method to stop Obito if he tries to escape. Kuroto has no means to interfere in the Kamui Space, this is also the reason why Kuroto wasn't able to feel Obito's presence even a moment ago when he just came out of that space.

This is because Kamui space is a space parallel to the Shinobi World. And neither his Byakugan nor the Tenseigan allows him to interfere or see through the parallel space, at least, yet, it doesn't!

And in this case, even Minato-Sama, who is extremely proficient in Space-time Jutsu, Fuinjutsu, and other Kinjutsu; could only watch Obito leave helplessly without any means to stop him.

Chain clanging noise…

Bored of the staring contest that's been going on between the two for a while now, Obito took out a chain and leisurely fixed its two ends on his wrists, his behavior was all too calm and clearly indicated that he didn't care about the other party's presence!

Perhaps in his eyes, no one in the Konoha village is competent enough for him to get serious!

Noticing that Obito was already ready, Kuroto also turned serious. In fact, he was a little emotional when facing Obito, Kuroto still can't understand just what kind of mentality Obito had when he was facing Yondaime-Sama, but it didn't matter anymore, here and now, Obito was an enemy, no matter how pitiful, an enemy is an enemy!

Whooossh…

The two of them disappeared at the same time turning into after images and pounced against each other at a sound-breaking speed.

The flying iron chain that didn't leave any trace of sound and the Kunai that reflected the light of a candle; lit in the gloomy underground passage collided. Neither of them uttered even a single word from beginning to end.

Neither of them wanted to say anything, nor was there any need to.

The two shinobi who both stood at the last of their class in the ninja academy were now engaged in a silent confrontation…
