Chapter 116: Chapter – 113 A Silent Confrontation…
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…

Chapter 117: Chapter – 114 A Temporary Truce…
As soon as the two sides were about to collide, Kuroto's figure directly phased through Obito's body, but as he expected the follow-up iron chain that came had to be avoided by crouching down.
In this short bout, the position of the two was exchanged.
**flashback**
"Hey, the guy with the Byakugan, I am Uchiha Obito, what is your name?"
"Hyuga Kuroto!"
"Hah… Hyuga Kuroto, remember this, I am the one who is going to become the Hokage in the future, tell you what, how about I let you become my guard at that time, hmm…, how about it?"
"Oh, I don't know about the future, but I guess I should be grateful to you for now!"
"Huh, grateful for what?"
"I am grateful to you for being the last rank in the exam, because of you I am not the dead last!"
"Pft-… Hahaha… hahaha…" – the sound of laughter of the whole class echoed as soon as Kuroto finished this sentence.
"You… you… you… argh, damn it… when I awaken the Sharingan; I'll let you all know that Uchiha Clan is the greatest, and I'll be the first Hokage from the Uchiha Clan, Hokage Uchiha Obito-Sama!"
"Yeah, sure whatever… but for that, you'll have to pass the graduation exams and become a shinobi first, which you clearly suck at!" – said one of the academy students in their class.
"Hahaha…"
**flashback end**
Looking at the opposite figure of Obito rushing towards him, the first memory of the interaction between the two flashed in Kuroto's mind.
Back when they were both in the Ninja Academy, Kuroto and Obito were always hovering at the last of class in all of the practical tests, Kuroto was naturally very good at theoretical tests because of his good understanding of theoretical concepts, but when it came to practical application; whether it was Shurikenjutsu, Taijutsu or Ninjutsu, Kuroto was only slightly better than Obito, and that too because of his cunningness.
But now everything's changed, both of them have grown into powerful shinobi who can control the chain of the events happening in the villages.
The changes that take place in the world are also marvellous.
Two dead last kids are now some of the strongest ninjas one could find.
Unable to succeed in the first attack left Obito a little dejected, so after taking a look at his hands, he shook the chain and prepared to launch another strike.
Kuroto also got ready for another clash, throwing away the Kunai in his hands, he put his hand inside the ninja bag at his waist.
The silence between the two continued…
Whoosh…
With just a wave of his hand, Obito rushed towards Kuroto; and following behind him was the chain.
Kuroto didn't rush up this time but leaped backward quickly to dodge the attack, however just as soon as he avoided the incoming chain, he was grabbed on the shoulder by Obito.
With just a single touch the spiralling whirlpool started appearing on Kuroto's shoulder but without any worry of it, Kuroto pressed his hands against Obito's chest.
Noticing that the opposite party attached a detonation charm on his chest, Obito thought with disdain, "It's my win!"
In Obito's opinion, as long as he touches the other party, the guy is bound to die, as for the matter of the detonation charm on his chest?
Obito has no worry about it.
The spiralling vortex kept growing in size, and soon Kuroto's figure started to get a little blurry.
'Except for the dead Yellow Flash, no one can avoid my Kamui!' – thought Obito with a slight smirk.
However, suddenly something sent him flying afar along with the Iron Chain, and since this happened too suddenly Obito didn't have time to avoid it by transferring himself into Kamui's space at the moment of flying out.
And in the process of being repelled, the detonation charm on his chest also exploded.
Boom… boom…
A series of explosions resounded, but it didn't make Kuroto any happier.
"Too bad I guess!" – muttered Kuroto in disappointment.
Although the smoke of the explosion hasn't dissipated, Kuroto already knew that just before the explosion, Obito transferred into Kamui Space, so he wasn't injured in the slightest.
After the smoke cleared, Obito's figure appeared out of the spiralling void, but this time, he didn't have his previous indifferent calmness.
Looking at the person standing opposite to him with a black cloak and mask, Obito finally decided to break the silence, "Well, that surprised me, so, who are you? Or rather, why are you here anyway?"
Obito who knows of the existence of the Rinnegan understood that the previous technique used by the opposite party was very similar to that of Pain's Shinra Tensei.
In the current Shinobi World, as far as Obito knew, only Pain could use such a technique, therefore he was quite interested in the identity of the other party.
The guy was dressed in a black cloak and wears a mask too just like himself, but Obito also knew that he wasn't Pain.
This made him interested in the other party's identity.
Listening to Obito's gloomy voice, Kuroto smirked playfully and decided to speak in a hoarse and heavy accent, "I could ask the same question, who are you and why are you here?"
Although Obito with Kamui is indeed really difficult to deal with, that's only for ordinary Shinobi, Kuroto could easily repel him using the Rein Interaction.
So, even if he was about to be pulled into Kamui Space, as long as Kuroto is conscious, he can instantly avoid being targeted by Kamui.
There was an awkward silence between the two following Kuroto's question, and after a little bit of consideration, Obito finally spoke while pointing towards the gate of the storeroom on the side, "Forget about it…, if your goal is that place, we don't need to have any conflict."
Kuroto also glanced towards the gate of the storeroom and nodded after a little bit of pondering.
In the short bout the two had, Kuroto was able to notice the embedded Simple Sharingan in Obito's left eye socket, this means that even if Kuroto uses a surprise attack by entering the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, and luckily succeeds to kill Obito using the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, Obito would still change the reality of his death and come back to life at the cost of that Sharingan by casting the Uchiha's forbidden Jutsu; Izanagi, and then quickly escape into the Kamui Space.
So, this again clarified that this battle would have no result without Kakashi's assistance.
Since Kuroto understands this full well, so he will naturally not give out too much information about his abilities to the other party by engaging in a pointless battle, if Obito becomes interested in him more than he already is, it would make Kuroto a bit uncomfortable, as he didn't want to end up like Yondaime-Sama.
Therefore, he decided to play along.
So, the two sides looked at each other and nodded in agreement for a temporary truce.
Both of them are aware that instead of dragging down each other and attract the village's attention here, it is better to take the advantage of the chaos that Uchiha Shinichi has caused and rob Danzo's base.
Since the of them reached an agreement, although still alert against each other, the weapons were put away nonetheless.
Casually walking towards the gate of the secret library, Obito once looked at the sealing technique engraved on the door and after a little once over, he glanced in the direction of Kuroto.
"See you on the other side…" – leaving this sentence, he phased through the gate and entered the storeroom.
Undoubtedly, the real reason why Obito didn't directly enter the storeroom previously was that he wanted to confirm the sealing technique engraved at the door, and now that he confirmed that it wouldn't threaten him in the slightest, he directly phased through the gate after a little bit of teasing Kuroto.
Shaking his head helplessly at Obito's playful actions, Kuroto lightly walked towards the gate and murmured, "Kai!" while putting his hand at the gate.
Cluck…
With a soft sound, the door opened.
The seal engraved at the gate was derived from the Uzumaki Four-Symbols Seal that Kuroto has mastered by heart, so releasing it was no problem for him.
As soon as Obito saw the other person lifting the seal instantly and followed in without any trouble, he became a little annoyed.
Ignoring Obito's disappointment, Kuroto looked around the room.
In the warehouse-size room, rows and rows of glass refrigerators containing a variety of materials, many types of chemical reagents, Petri dishes containing tissue samples, and various other experimental equipment were clearly visible to him.
Kuroto could even see a big jar containing several Sharingan dispersed in a preservation solution, and just by a rough count, there were nine of them present.
Seeing so many Sharingan lying there, Kuroto secretly murmured, "Shimura Danzo actually has so many Sharingan already? Were some of them left by Nidaime-Sama? Or is it that he has been secretly collecting them through the previous three Great Shinobi Wars?"
