Thinking back to the Great Fireball, which felt like a forbidden jutsu, Uchiha Fugaku smiled wryly.
"I thought I was hiding well enough, but you're hiding even deeper than me. Not only have you awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, but you also have such incredible talent. You can use jutsu to this level."
"But I want to clarify something. This concerns the survival of the Uchiha clan."
Kai wouldn't explain Uchiha Fugaku's misunderstanding.
He couldn't grab Uchiha Fugaku's hand and patiently explain that the original Uchiha Kai was dead.
He had transmigrated here and awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan just a few days ago, thanks to the one-click max level system.
If he really said this, Kai would probably be considered insane.
"Are you asking me if I've met Uchiha Madara?" Kai looked at Uchiha Fugaku.
At that moment, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and his pupils were filled with disbelief.
Although Uchiha Fugaku quickly hid these changes in expression, they didn't escape Kai's eyes.
From Uchiha Fugaku's change in expression, Kai deduced that the original story didn't explain why Uchiha Fugaku awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan. It was probably due to Uchiha Madara.
Perhaps, from the beginning, Uchiha Madara's target for overthrowing Konoha wasn't Uchiha Obito.
It was Uchiha Fugaku.
After helping Uchiha Fugaku awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Fugaku's dōjutsu was too powerful. The aging Uchiha Madara couldn't control it in the end, and it eventually escaped his control.
Later, Uchiha Madara shifted his target to Uchiha Obito.
Then, step by step, he directed his revenge towards the Uchiha clan.
He had Uchiha Obito team up with Danzo and had Uchiha Itachi carry out the massacre.
"You really know about Uchiha Madara. Did he help you awaken your Sharingan?" Uchiha Fugaku became anxious.
Kai patted Fugaku's shoulder. "Uncle, don't worry. My Mangekyō Sharingan awakened naturally. I didn't need his help."
"Besides, do you think I would become that old man's puppet if I dared to kill Yamanaka Ryōya?"
Looking at the disrespectful Kai, Uchiha Fugaku glared at him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was unlikely that Uchiha Madara could make Kai submit.
"Kai, hearing you say this, I'm relieved. I won't pry into your affairs, but don't tell anyone about Uchiha Madara. That guy's a madman," Uchiha Fugaku said solemnly.
"But your appearance means he'll probably come looking for you soon. When that happens, I hope you'll repeat what you said today."
In Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, Uchiha Madara was supposed to have been mortally wounded in the Valley of the End by the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama.
After that, the First Hokage died of complications due to his old injuries.
When Uchiha Fugaku saw Uchiha Madara alive in front of him, he was indeed shocked.
But faced with the temptation of power, he ultimately boarded the ship with no return.
"Don't worry, Uncle. I'm not like you, always worrying," Kai rolled his eyes. Looking at the forest below, he said, "The world is vast. Have you ever thought about leaving Konoha with the Uchiha clan?"
"Kai, what are you talking about?" Uchiha Fugaku was stunned.
He quickly scanned the surroundings and said urgently, "You mean defecting as a clan? That would only escalate the conflict. No village would ever allow it."
In Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, he placed all his hope on Minato Namikaze.
As long as he became the Fourth Hokage, with their friendship, he would do everything he could to ease the relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha clan.
Now, Kai suddenly brought up this idea. In Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, it was likely a radical idea of the younger generation.
"I know you're placing your hope on Minato Namikaze, but it's better to seize your own destiny than to leave it in someone else's hands," Kai said calmly.
He had only accidentally transmigrated into this body and didn't have a deep connection with the Uchiha clan.
But he didn't want to stand by and watch them die, so he said this.
Uchiha Fugaku's expression changed, and he fell silent.
After a long time, he said, "I don't want the Uchiha clan to be branded with infamy. Kai, you're still young. You don't understand what righteousness is."
"Righteousness?" Kai chuckled dryly. "That's something that can crush a person."
"But since you said that, I won't interfere. If the people of Konoha don't provoke me, I don't want to get into trouble."
"But if they provoke me, don't blame me for not being sentimental."
Looking at the calm Kai, Uchiha Fugaku felt a strange feeling in his heart.
If Kai had given him the feeling of being weak and inconspicuous before, now he felt like a sharp blade, radiating with sharpness.
Moreover, it was a double-edged sword.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore," Kai patted Uchiha Fugaku's shoulder. "Uncle, as the clan leader, if you have the chance, get in touch with Shisui. He's also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan."
"Also, pay more attention to Itachi. If they can grow up successfully, they'll definitely become top-tier shinobi in the shinobi world."
Leaving these words behind, Kai turned and left.
For a moment, only Uchiha Fugaku remained on the cliff, lost in thought.
If he had fought with Kai earlier to figure out his true strength, now he was even more confused.
He had paid attention to Uchiha Shisui.
He had also suspected that he was Uchiha Madara's contact.
But he never expected that Uchiha Shisui would awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan at this age.
Moreover, Uchiha Madara had indeed overlooked Itachi, who was just starting to show his potential.
"Kai, who are you? You're hiding so deeply. What are you after? Is it the position of Hokage of Konoha?" Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but mutter to himself.
After separating from Uchiha Fugaku, Kai frowned.
He had already anticipated Uchiha Fugaku's choice.
Besides, the Uchiha clan was riddled with parasites.
Not to mention Konoha's targeting of them, even some of the younger generation had a mentality of thugs.
They often used their positions in the guard force to extort protection fees or engage in other heinous acts.
Uchiha Fugaku had tried to rectify this, but it was a deep-rooted way of thinking that had evolved into a serious problem.
To some extent, it was impossible to change the thinking of some clan members.
Even if Uchiha Fugaku really defected as a clan, these people would probably never miss any opportunity to retaliate against Konoha.
Once that happened, Konoha would have an excuse to exterminate the Uchiha clan.
