Fugaku froze for only a moment before immediately choosing Agree.
As the clan head, he was no mere figurehead.
He possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan.
He simply hadn't had the opportunity to reveal it publicly—but that didn't mean he was ignorant.
He knew that once an Uchiha awakened the Mangekyō, they would gain a unique ability.
For example, Itachi's left eye wielded Tsukuyomi, while his right eye wielded Amaterasu.
Fugaku himself possessed Amaterasu in both eyes.
From Itachi's case alone, it was clear—
Mangekyō abilities varied from person to person.
Clan records confirmed this.
Most Uchiha awakened different powers.
Yet since their ancestor, Uchiha Madara, only a handful had ever reached the Mangekyō stage.
So the clan's records were limited.
But one thing was certain—
This strange "group" was very likely a Mangekyō ability.
Which meant…
Had Uchiha Kai already awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan?
Fugaku had assumed the boy possessed at most two tomoe—perhaps even three.
He was only twelve.
If this was truly the Mangekyō…
Then he had surpassed even Itachi's awakening age.
A miracle for the Uchiha.
With that thought, Fugaku immediately chose to join.
[Beep!]
[The Uchiha Revival Path group has been created.]
As he focused on the glowing words before him, Fugaku suddenly felt his soul and body fall out of alignment.
"Captain!?"
The scar-faced officer reached out just as Fugaku collapsed.
The rest of the Police Force rushed over.
"It's not genjutsu—he's fainted!"
They laid him flat and checked his condition.
…
Could a clan head truly fall victim to genjutsu so easily?
But Fugaku was fully aware of his state.
He could sense his body—
Yet he could not return to it.
His spirit seemed severed and drawn into a vast, virtual space.
There were no visible boundaries.
The system prompts here were clearer than before.
At the top:
[Group Name: Uchiha Revival Path]
[Entry Requirement: Uchiha clan member who has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan]
I see.
He qualified.
Then more information appeared.
[This group was evolved from the special ability of Uchiha Kai's left Mangekyō Sharingan.]
[However, Uchiha Kai discarded the Heart of the Uchiha.]
[Thus, this group is also known as the Uchiha Recycling Station.]
???
Fugaku's eyes widened.
So he had guessed correctly—
This was Uchiha Kai's Mangekyō ability.
But what did it mean that Uchiha Kai had "discarded the Heart of the Uchiha"?
Did that mean he did not place the clan above all else?
Before Fugaku could think further, more text appeared rapidly.
[As this is derived from Uchiha Kai's Mangekyō ability, the discarded sub-group has been further developed.]
[It can connect three timelines: past, present, and future.]
"Oh."
"…Wait."
"What do you mean by connecting past and future?"
[Past refers to deceased individuals.]
[Present refers to those currently alive.]
[Future refers to members who may originate from future timelines.]
"…!"
Connect the future?
"Does that mean… the Uchiha clan can still be revived?" Fugaku asked urgently.
"We can still revive the Uchiha, right?"
The question repeated itself in different words—but hope was flooding into his withered heart.
As a traditional Uchiha, he had ambition.
He wanted fair treatment.
He wanted revival.
He wanted the clan to flourish once more.
But the system did not respond.
Instead—
[Due to insufficient group members, one additional member will be specially invited.]
[As the first member, you are granted one selection opportunity. Please choose within 30 seconds.]
Choose?
The entry requirement was Mangekyō Sharingan.
Currently, besides himself, only Itachi and Uchiha Kai qualified.
So—
As Fugaku's thoughts spiraled, three names appeared.
A: Senju Hashirama
B: Uchiha Madara (Elderly)
C: Senju Tobirama
A 30-second countdown ticked in the corner.
Fugaku nearly choked.
???
This was about Uchiha revival—
Why were the First and Second Hokage options?!
Though he dared not voice disrespect, as clan head he felt strongly:
This was not the time to invite the First or Second Hokage.
Hashirama had legendary prestige. During his lifetime, there had been no Great Ninja War.
But Fugaku had never met him.
The man had died long before his birth.
As for Tobirama—
He had established the Uchiha Police Force, granting the clan institutional status and honor.
But the current Third Hokage was Tobirama's disciple.
And it was under the Third's rule that the Uchiha declined.
So—
Fugaku decisively chose Uchiha Madara.
Just as he prepared to press the name—
No response.
[Time exceeded. Random selection initiated.]
…What?
[System automatically selected: Uchiha Madara.]
"…"
Well.
If it was their ancestor, that should be fine.
After all—
Madara was Uchiha blood.
Though he had eventually left the clan, history recorded him as the strongest Uchiha.
Just as Fugaku thought that—
A new member appeared.
[Congratulations on joining the Uchiha Revival Path, @Uchiha Madara.
Elder Madara, please greet everyone.]
Uchiha Madara: Where is this?
Uchiha Madara: Obito, have you finally made your move? I've been waiting for quite some time. Though this doesn't feel like Rinne Rebirth.
Uchiha Madara: And Obito—I must say, your attempt to subdue the Nine-Tails, resulting in the Nine-Tails' attack, was disgraceful.
"…"
Fugaku's eyes widened.
The Nine-Tails attack.
Twelve years ago, the Nine-Tails had been released and controlled by the Sharingan.
The event that led to the Uchiha falling under suspicion.
Being ostracized.
Being relocated to the outskirts of the village.
Was that—
Orchestrated by them?
And Obito…
Did he mean Uchiha Obito?
Madara seemed to notice Fugaku's presence and read the system prompt.
[Group: Uchiha Revival Path / Uchiha Recycling Station]
[This group is derived from Uchiha Kai's left Mangekyō ability.]
[It connects past, present, and future Uchiha members.]
"I see," Madara muttered.
"So that is why even I, long dead, appear here."
"A Mangekyō ability…"
Fugaku seized the moment.
"Ancestor—was the Nine-Tails attack your doing?" he demanded.
"The Uchiha suffered greatly because of it."
Silence.
Elder Madara's gaze sharpened.
"…?"
