The Third Hokage’s expression twitched slightly.
He cared—he cared a great deal.
The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan was extremely dangerous. With it, a user could unleash many powerful and mysterious dōjutsu. There was no way he would risk exposing himself to that kind of power firsthand.
Especially considering his already strained relationship with the Uchiha. For all he knew, Fugaku could seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

After a long detour, Uchiha Fugaku and his group returned safely to the Land of Fire, avoiding any major incidents.
Along the way, they encountered several more of White Zetsu’s clones.
Fortunately, each one was spotted and promptly subdued by Fugaku using genjutsu, preventing their location from being exposed and allowing the group to continue their journey without incident.
Once they crossed the border into the Land of Fire, Fugaku finally relaxed a little.
He knew th...

“A White Zetsu clone? ”
Uchiha Fugaku’s gaze subtly flicked in that direction.
With the enhanced vision of his Sharingan, he saw only a single tree in that direction—no people, no creatures.
His sensory perception didn’t lie, but the Sharingan couldn’t detect anyone.
He immediately understood: the enemy must be inside the tree.
Because they were hidden within the tree and the Sharingan lacked X-ray vision, it couldn’t expos...

"Waaah—"
From the remains of his shattered body, a completely unharmed Orochimaru slithered out, his whole body covered in disgusting mucus.
Plop, plop, plop—
Under Orochimaru’s wary gaze, Nagato’s Deva Path slowly walked forward.
He came to a halt just a few meters away from Orochimaru.
For Kage-level combatants, this was a distance that could be crossed in an instant—a range ideal for...

Uchiha Fugaku took out a sealing scroll, preparing to store the corpse of the man with the hideous scar on his face inside it.
However, when he saw the ring on that man's hand, he suddenly paused.
Every official member of the Akatsuki wore a ring that symbolized their identity. These rings had many functions, including long-distance communication.
If he simply sealed the scar-faced man’s body into the scroll and left, Fugaku was concerned that the Akatsuki might be able to...

"Sisi is dead?"
Zhou Qing was slightly stunned, but after a brief moment of thought, he wasn't particularly surprised.
With the sharp eyes of that old fox, Lord Xiao, how could he not have seen through Sisi's personality?
No ordinary woman would be attracted to that fat face and big ears.
It was money.
Power.
Status.
Those were the things Sisi truly valued—and exactly why Ma Xiuno had once said she was “too ambitious.”

A look of surprise flashed across Uchiha Fugaku's face.
The man with the hideous scar was actually a defector from the Yuki Clan.

After a moment of astonishment, a faint smile curled at the corners of his lips. His hands moved at blinding speed, forming hand seals so fast they left afterimages.

In a dimly lit cave, Orochimaru sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, meditating.
As a Kage-level shinobi, how could he possibly remain unaware of being tailed? He had detected Uchiha Fugaku and his team shortly after they began tracking him.
The reason he hadn't erased his traces—allowing them to continue following—was to lure them into the Land of Rivers. The Akatsuki's designated meeting place was located there, and he intended to use Fugaku's group to te...

The Third Hokage's expression changed as he realized the reason.
The other ninjas present also had shifting expressions as they came to the same conclusion.
The reason Orochimaru hadn't made a move was likely because this wasn't the real Orochimaru, but merely a shadow clone.
While shadow clones were far weaker than the original in combat, when not engaged in battle, even the Byakugan—with perception abilities surpassing the Sharingan—couldn't dis...

Most of those present had also guessed that the manipulator of the purple serpent was none other than Orochimaru.
