Chapitre 218: Chapter 218: Confession.
Without lingering, Tōshirō set out for the frontline camp after obtaining what he wanted.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh!
His current identity really seemed plagued by misfortune; he never encountered good things, only one dangerous mission after another.
Although the Third Hokage was somewhat courteous to him now due to the dire situation, once the Nine-Tails incident broke out, his circumstances along with those of the Uchiha would become even harsher.
Riding on a chakra creation made from his Super Beast Imitating Drawing, he rushed back to the camp in no time, where he saw an unexpected figure.
"Has the clan really fallen to this extent?"
Inside Uchiha Fugaku's tent, a small figure sat upright. With his medium-length hair and identical nasolabial folds, it was obvious who he was.
Faced with Tōshirō's question, Fugaku, who sat at the head, remained silent, responding only with his silence.
"Maintaining peace is our Uchiha's responsibility!"
After a long time, Fugaku finally spoke, his words leaving Tōshirō without a retort. As a father, what could he say at this moment?
Sending his four-year-old child to the battlefield brought a sense of sorrow, but nearly every clan member capable of refining chakra was at this camp, including many children still in ninja school. As the new clan head, it was necessary to set an example.
With no other choice, he could only bring Itachi to the camp against Mikoto's objections, causing even the gentle Mikoto to have a big fight with him.
"Let's not discuss this! This mission Tōshirō is on is crucial; be extra cautious!"
If they could indeed force the Stone Ninja to negotiate, it would give the clan some relief.
What could he say but nod in agreement? As a father willing to send his own son, how could an outsider say anything?
In his view, Itachi's later actions were partly Fugaku's responsibility. Bringing a four-year-old to a brutal warzone like that—it couldn't end well. Even if the Hokage and Danzo played their respective roles, it wouldn't have forced Itachi to make that decision.
Of course, the influence of the Mangekyō Sharingan couldn't be ignored either. In his opinion, none of the Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyō had a stable mental state, especially right after awakening.
Madara was obsessed with the Moon's Eye plan, Obito refused to revive his beloved and stuck to his path, and Fugaku faced death unarmed in front of his son's choices. Then there was Shisui, who revealed his trump card to the untrustworthy Konoha leadership despite the clan's impending rebellion.
As an Uchiha, he didn't expect Konoha's leadership to trust him completely. Not leaving himself a backup would be foolish.
Itachi and Sasuke weren't much better—Itachi annihilated the entire clan after awakening his eyes, leaving only his beloved "Otouto," while Sasuke, after awakening his eyes, followed Obito, who had conspired with his brother to massacre the clan, then got swayed by Hashirama's words to change his resolve.
All this made Tōshirō hesitant about awakening his own Mangekyō Sharingan, fearing he might end up insane like the rest.
Even as a transmigrator, he couldn't be sure about such matters.
Leaving Fugaku's tent, seeing the bustling tiny figures around the camp, Tōshirō felt an urge to complete the mission well for the first time.
For no other reason than that the camp was teeming with six- and seven-year-old kids. The Uchiha camp had only about 200 people, with half being under the age of twelve.
They brought these children to the battlefield because their older clan members had sacrificed themselves one after another, leaving no choice.
"Is everyone ready?"
"Yes! We've been waiting!"
Just stepping out from the tent, Tōshirō asked Tetsu about their readiness. Among his teammates, Tetsu was the oldest and handled most of the tasks.
Without stopping, Tōshirō walked with Tetsu toward the camp's entrance where their teammates awaited. A large group of clansmen, knowing the importance of their mission, had gathered to see them off as they headed out.
At this moment, Uchiha Obito, who had just earned his Chunin rank, stood anxiously with a bouquet of red roses.
His emotions now mirrored the full-blossomed cherry blossoms beside him—fiery and full, yet fluttering and uncertain like falling petals.
Yesterday, when he passed the Chunin exam, Rin had asked to meet him here, saying she had something important to discuss.
Something important?
What could be more important than what he was about to do!
"Today, I must confess to Rin!"
Having passed the Chunin exam with the help of Brother Tōshirō and having awakened his Sharingan, Obito had gathered his courage for this moment.
Clenching his fist to pump himself up again, he quickly hid the bouquet behind him as he spotted a familiar figure in the distance.
"Is Rin also happy because I became a Chunin?"
Seeing the figure of his dreams, her light steps and relaxed brows gave Obito more confidence in his upcoming confession.
[It seems Rin is no longer mad at me!]
Relieved, Obito noticed she wasn't upset with him for his reckless behavior a few days ago.
As Rin approached, his nervousness made him break out in a cold sweat, his heart pounding loudly in his chest.
"Sorry! I'm late!"
With a joyful stride and a warm smile, Rin pressed her hands together, looking at Obito with gentle eyes while apologizing.
