"Madara-sama, the information I've gathered this time is something you definitely don't know, I guarantee it!"
After Zetsu's original body arrived in the underground cave, he loudly addressed Madara who was sitting on a stone chair; although Madara didn't make any movements, the previous mistake of thinking Madara was dead taught him a good lesson, so this time Zetsu remembered well.
"Madara-sama, if you are satisfied with this news, could you help me create a proper ass? My clone playing the Grandma's of Obito can't use the toilet, which is a big flaw."
"Shut up, otherwise I'll create another Zetsu."
Madara was really fed up with this foolish fellow; if it weren't for the fact that Zetsu's original body required some thought, he really wanted to kill this chatterbox.
"Alright, alright, the former clan head of the Uchiha clan has defected, I think his name was Fugaku, it's said he defected because he was dissatisfied with losing the position of clan head."
Seeing that Madara's expression was not good, Zetsu no longer beat around the bush and directly started speaking about the intelligence.
"Defection? Even after activating the Mangekyo, he still defected?"
Madara furrowed his brows and began to ponder. Hearing the news about the Mangekyo, his first thought was to replace Obito, but now he didn't know where Fugaku was, what his Mangekyo capabilities were, and why he defected.
If it's because he was unhappy about the clan head position being taken away and he defected, that's a laughable reason; the cost of activating the Mangekyo is significant, such a person wouldn't likely defect over a clan head position.
"Go investigate, find out all the information about Fugaku, including his exact location."
Madara commanded, an adult not as easily deceived as Obito, getting Fugaku to participate in his Moon's Eye Plan might be difficult, especially since he had already revealed his Mangekyo capability.
But an Uchiha who has activated the Mangekyo is still very valuable, if he could be persuaded to join, it would be a great help to the Moon's Eye Plan.

Fugaku's defection was just a fleeting storm for Konoha, coming quickly and leaving just as fast.
Mikoto, upon hearing this news, immediately wanted to bring Itachi back to her side, but was stopped by Shisui wielding a letter of attorney from Fugaku.
If Mikoto wanted to forcibly bring Itachi back, all she needed to do was speak to Yōichi and then by the clan head's authority have Itachi return to her side, no one could stop her.
However, in the end, Mikoto gave up on this idea.
Although she had divorced Fugaku, she was still very busy; if she brought Itachi back, she might end up asking Yuzuki to look after Itachi while she was away during the day and night, just like before.
Thinking of this, along with Fugaku's letter of attorney, stopped Mikoto from bringing Itachi back to her side.
However, Mikoto still bought many things for Itachi, gave a sum of money to Shisui, and promised Itachi that she would come to see him whenever she had time, then left with Itachi's nod.
The next day, Hachidai came to the Konoha Security Force assembly. Originally, the Uchiha clan was preparing to support with twenty people, and with Hachidai, that made twenty-one.
Apart from Hachidai, the others were normally supporting the battlefield.
The battle at Kikyō Castle had been delayed long enough, and with the addition of Amegakure, Konoha was preparing for a full counterattack, but Jiraiya still requested some reinforcements from the village for caution.
A thirty-man ninja squad, including twenty Uchiha ninjas; the rest were also considered elites. Seeing these reinforcements, Jiraiya felt a bit more at ease.
"Hachidai-kun, please also join the war council."
Shikaku invited, all frontline Jōnin could participate, especially since the Uchiha clan had sent so many people this time.
Following Shikaku's invitation, Hachidai also joined the council room meeting.
Because the war had been dragging on for too long, they finally got an opportunity for a full counterattack, driving the Sunagakure out, so Shikaku immediately started discussing his plan.
As previously agreed, they would be responsible for this area, which was all Sunagakure's main force. Although Amegakure would also send troops, they wouldn't target Sunagakure's main force.
Shikaku briefly explained the situation so the newcomers could understand the current state of Kikyō Castle.
"So, we still need to attack here, but unlike the previous feint, we must kill or drive away the enemies here. We need a team here to block their reinforcements, but this could be very dangerous."
The leader might be one of the strong Sunagakure ninjas; they wouldn't sit idly by and watch 'weaker' Konoha aggressively attack them.
But this blocking team of ninjas must stop Sunagakure's reinforcements; the danger of this mission goes without saying.
"Let me do it, Jiraiya-sama."
Hachidai spoke calmly: "Let me handle this mission, I definitely won't let the Sunagakure get through."
Shikaku, hearing this, nodded and said: "Hachidai-san, since you've volunteered, this mission is yours, after."
"Rest assured, I will block the Sunagakure."
Hachidai said: "Unless I die, the Sunagakure won't get past."
This was quite a serious statement, indicating Hachidai was fully prepared to die to complete this mission.
Jiraiya, hearing this, nodded in appreciation: "Then I'll entrust this to you, Hachidai-kun, I will send you additional ninjas."
Shikaku then continued arranging, explaining the entire combat plan once more, and after seeing no one had questions, went down to arrange the action details.
This time with reinforcements and allies ready, Konoha was gearing up to drive all the Sunagakure out.

With half his face bandaged and wearing a conical hat, Fugaku slowly walked through this rain-soaked country.
After leaving Konoha, he hadn't stopped fleeing, because Fugaku knew Hachidai couldn't cover for him for too long, so he kept moving despite his injuries.
Knowing Konoha's tracking techniques, Fugaku used many methods along the way, took many detours, and finally arrived in the Land of Rain.
This country is favored by rogue ninjas, and with constant rain, any tracking clues would be washed away by the heavy rain once you reach the Land of Rain.
After arriving in the Land of Rain, Fugaku felt his injuries worsen, and if he didn't rest soon, he might faint.
"Find a place to rest, buy some food."
Fugaku, pushing through his pain, then arrived at a small town. But just as he entered the town, he realized there were quite a few ninjas around, which immediately made him cautious.
He thought about leaving to find another place to rest, but his body no longer allowed him to run around in the rain.
So Fugaku lowered his head, trying to remove any ninja traces from himself, and walked towards a building that seemed like an inn.
"Boss, do you have any rooms?"
The person standing at the counter smiled and said: "Room? Mister, you must be new here, we don't serve the public, you should leave."
"Wait a moment."
Before the person could finish, a blue-haired young woman, looking around her teens but a ninja, came out from inside.
"You're injured? There are no inns in this small town, if you want to rest, come with me."
Konan spoke, though her fellow Akatsuki members hearing Konan offering this stranger a place to rest immediately voiced their concerns: "Konan-sama, he's too suspicious, should we?"
"Helping those in need has always been Akatsuki's creed, if we can't even extend a hand to those who need help, when will Akatsuki's dream be realized?"
Konan finished speaking to her companions, then turned to Fugaku and said: "If you're willing to rest here, then follow me. If you're not reassured, you can go twenty kilometers southwest to Senryu Town, where there are inns and doctors."
"Thank you."
Fugaku pulled out some money from his pocket, intending to pay for his stay, although he had rushed out, he still carried some money with him.
"Hey, do you think we Akatsuki are here for money?"
"Kitsune."
Konan stopped Kitsune, then took Fugaku's money, saying: "There's no charge for lodging, but this money can be used to buy you some medicine for your injuries."
"Thank you."
Fugaku looked at the young kunoichi before him, reminded of Mikoto when she was younger, equally gentle, and this kunoichi also held naïve dreams about the ninja world, even helping strangers without hesitation.
Although he verbally thanked her, Fugaku's heart was still full of caution; having experienced betrayal from those closest to him, he was far from trusting a stranger.
Now, he just needed a place to shelter from the rain and rest. As for the medicine, even if the female ninja bought it back, Fugaku wouldn't easily trust her.
Then, Konan led Fugaku to an empty house, telling him: "Rest well here."
After speaking, Konan turned and left.
Fugaku changed out of his wet clothes, looked at his wounds, then lay down on the bed and soon fell deeply asleep.
Having forcibly treated some of his injuries and having undergone an eye transplant surgery in the middle, he took a long detour from Konoha to the Land of Rain, getting drenched in the rain.
As Fugaku slept, he suddenly felt someone approaching, but at this point, his injuries flared up so severely he could barely stand.
"Don't worry, we're here to treat your injuries, I really don't know why Konan-sama takes such care of you, still covering your face and not wanting to meet people."
"Stop it, Kitsune, Konan-sama was just as kind to us back then, hurry and change his bandages, we have other things to do later."
Feeling that the two had no ill intent and weren't trying to harm him, Fugaku gave up resisting, letting them help with the bandages, then once again fell into a deep sleep.
