He could clearly see the fair skin below the collar.

Mikoto also noticed Kiyoshi's gaze and gave him a reproachful look.

"I'll talk to Sasuke about this later. Let's deal with something more important now."

Kiyoshi lowered his head and kissed Mikoto.

After a long time, the lips parted.

Kiyoshi used the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to take Mikoto directly back to his home.

Now he wants to discuss education with Mikoto.

……

Fugaku walked back to his residence with a heavy heart. Mikoto's distant gaze and the various complicated matters of the police department were all intertwined, making his mood extremely heavy.

Just as he was passing through a secluded training forest, a figure appeared out of the shadows in front of him without warning.

It was a man wearing a black cloak and a spiral-patterned one-eyed mask.

Fugaku instantly became alert, his Sharingan activated instantly, and the three tomoe slowly rotated in his scarlet eyes.

"You're here again. What are you up to?"

Fugaku questioned him.

He strongly suspected that the masked man was Uchiha Madara.

He quickly sorted out the logic and eliminated possibilities.

The fact that the other party can enter and leave the core Uchiha clan territory so freely means that their identity must have a very deep connection with the Uchiha clan.

In addition, there's his Sharingan.

There are only two possibilities.

Firstly, this person was originally a member of the Uchiha clan, who was judged to have "died in battle" during a certain war, but in fact he has concealed his identity and survived to this day.

The Uchiha clan has strict rules: the Sharingan of an Uchiha ninja who dies on the battlefield must be brought back by his comrades and properly handled; it is absolutely forbidden for it to be left to languish outside.

Therefore, it is virtually impossible for enemy forces to obtain the Sharingan by stealing the eyes of the fallen.

Therefore, the only explanation is that this person did not actually die in battle.

The second possibility is the most likely one.

Since the founding of Konoha, only one Uchiha clan has ever left the village.

He was the only man who openly betrayed his entire clan and village since the founding of Konoha.

Uchiha Madara.

Chapter 427 The Ring Given to Tsunade

It is said that after he left the village, he fought Hashirama Senju in what is now known as the Valley of the End, and was eventually killed by Hashirama Senju.

"Humph……"

Obito deliberately lowered his voice and let out a hoarse chuckle.

"Has the current head of the Uchiha clan fallen so low? He doesn't even dare to look directly at his true desires."

"What do you mean?"

Fugaku frowned.

"Isn't my meaning obvious, Chief Fugaku? There's resentment flickering in your eyes..."

Obito's hoarse chuckle gradually turned into a loud laugh.

Sure enough, this flawed ninja system gave rise to countless tragedies.

When he was young, he heard that Mikoto and Fugaku had a good relationship.

Now, Mikoto is with Kiyoshi, who is much younger than her.

This is even after he already had Lin!

This two-timing behavior greatly displeased Obito.

Why should someone like Uchiha Kiyoshi be able to find happiness?

Isn't this built on the suffering of others?

“I have been watching the fate of the Uchiha from the shadows, watching how you were ostracized and distrusted by the village founded by the Senju, how you huddled in this small corner, even your breathing became cautious. Look at you, Uchiha Fugaku, you have the title of clan leader but can't even protect what you truly want... like that woman named Mikoto.”

Fugaku's body stiffened abruptly, his Sharingan fixed intently on Obito.

I know the pain and resentment in your heart.

The masked man's voice seemed to possess a magical power, directly piercing through Fugaku's psychological defenses.

“You love that woman deeply, but she chose someone else, and you can’t change the situation… I understand that feeling of powerlessness.”

Fugaku remained silent.

"Do you know why?"

The masked man continued:

"Because this village has been full of hypocrisy and deception since its inception. Hashirama Senju's idealism is nothing more than a shackle that binds the Uchiha. They fear the power of the Uchiha, so they use the so-called Will of Fire to tame you and marginalize you. You can't even get basic trust!"

"That was in the past. The Uchiha clan has changed now."

Fugaku refuted this.

In any case, after Kiyoshi became Hokage, the Uchiha clan never faced the same predicament as before.

"True peace, a world that can truly protect what one desires, can never be achieved through temporary compromises."

"You should be able to see that the entire Hidden Leaf Village doesn't reject the Uchiha clan, but that's only because Uchiha Kiyoshi happened to become Hokage. But how long can Uchiha Kiyoshi live?"

Obito said leisurely.

Even someone as powerful as Madara Uchiha could only rely on the "Gedo Mazo" to extend his life through intubation in the later stages.

In this ninja world, the method of achieving immortality is an absolute secret.

Only by becoming... the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and merging the Ten-Tails and the "Gedo Mazo" into oneself, can one achieve immortality.

All other methods have drawbacks.

Over time, the "Impure World Reincarnation Technique" can also make people feel world-weary because they lack the true experience of living.

As for the secret of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Obito believed that he was the only one in the current ninja world who knew it.

At most, Black Zetsu, a product of Madara Uchiha's will, could be added.

"He can only live for a few decades at most before he has to retire. Then who in the Uchiha clan can take his place?"

Obito continued.

The Uchiha clan's current status in Konoha is merely a facade of prosperity.

Even without Uchiha Kiyoshi, things will still go on as usual.

Upon hearing this, Fugaku frowned deeply.

The masked man was right; the tribesmen were becoming increasingly arrogant and domineering, and often clashed with small vendors while on patrol.

It's hard to say what would happen if the Uchiha clan lost power when Kiyoshi Uchiha stepped down.

"And... are you really content to live in Uchiha Kiyoshi's shadow?"

Obito's tone was seductive.

"Playing tricks...who are you really?"

Fugaku had already guessed who the masked man was talking about, and he was surprised that this guy knew so much about what was happening within the Uchiha clan.

Even his emotions...

"who am I?"

Obito slowly raised his head, his single eye peering through the mask as he slowly removed it, revealing a disguised face that stared at Fugaku. He said:

"You can call me... Uchiha Madara."

"what!"

Fugaku was shocked and could hardly believe his ears.

Speculation and solid evidence are two different concepts.

Wasn't Madara Uchiha dead a long time ago?

"No doubt about it."

Obito's voice, which called himself "Uchiha Madara," was full of seductive power.

Obito opened his arms, his tone becoming passionate and seductive.

After imagining himself as Madara Uchiha for so long, Obito sometimes really felt like he was Madara Uchiha.

"Only the 'Eye of the Moon Project' can bring order and reshape this flawed world. The Uchiha clan should not cower here, and your Sharingan should not be used solely for this narrow clan territory!"

“你… … “Is it true?”

"Let's join forces, Fugaku."

Obito took a step forward, his single eye flashing with a scarlet light.

"Break free from this disgusting status quo, overthrow this false world, and then you will have love, peace, everything, and you can fulfill your true desires! Instead of watching helplessly as you do now, tasting the bitterness alone..."

Obito's figure gradually faded away and disappeared, leaving only Fugaku's tightly clenched hands.

"Will he come?"

In the shadows, two pitcher plants, one black and one white, emerged from the soil.

Half of his face was black Zetsu's, and the other half was white Zetsu's.

"It will come."

Black Zetsu watched Obito's departing figure and Fugaku's obviously uncertain expression before speaking confidently.

As a descendant of Indra, he has come into contact with countless people over the past thousand years.

This clan is a clan of fanatics.

It's like a powder keg; it explodes at the slightest touch.

Even though Kiyoshi Uchiha was considered the least like an Uchiha, Black Zetsu always felt that this guy was not normal.

“Uchiha Kiyoshi is too powerful. He won’t be swayed by me. I need to throw the ninja world into chaos.”

The Dark Passage.

The Akatsuki organization is currently accumulating strength, and once it has accumulated enough, it will begin its plan to capture the Tailed Beasts.

After capturing all the tailed beasts, that will be the time to revive Mother.

"Mother, this day will not be far off."

Black Zetsu thought to himself.

He couldn't wait to break his mother's seal and gain her approval for his efforts over the past thousand years!

……

The next day.

Kiyoshi opened his eyes and instinctively reached out to hug someone, but missed.

The bedding was slightly cool and had a faint fragrance.

"Are you up already?"

Kiyoshi reached out and gently touched the blank sheet of bedding, his fingertips still able to feel the lingering warmth of Mikoto's body heat after it had dissipated.

After quickly changing his clothes, Kiyoshi pushed open the door and went out of the bedroom.

Yesterday, Kiyoshi let Mikoto stay with him and didn't fall asleep until midnight.

Even though it was only just dawn, Kiyoshi didn't feel tired at all.
