Uchiha Fucheng lightly flicked the blood off his Kunai.
He casually slit the carotid artery of the Suna Ninja who had no strength left to resist.
An unexpected notification appeared, causing Fucheng to pause for half a second.
[Change the life trajectory of Suna NinjaBaki]
[Reward: Suna NinjaBaki's fate dice]
"Baki? Is that the Jonin who led Gaara during the Chunin Exams? What did I do? Kill his dad or his grandpa?"
Fucheng didn't think too much, directly consuming the minimum 10 points of approval to use the fate dice.
For a minor character, this was enough.
Dice roll: 4.
4 points, a reward for skill ability!
Reward: [Suna NinjaBaki's Wind Release ability, Wind ReleaseChakra shape transformation, Wind ReleaseChakra nature transformation]
Fucheng narrowed his eyes, feeling a warm current of Chakra appear out of thin air within his body.
Now, Fucheng possessed Lightning Release, Fire Release, Earth Release, and Wind Release—four talents. He was only missing Water Release to have all five elements.
...
Having taken out three Suna NinjaJonin, the remaining five enemy Suna Ninja were no match at all.
Only one Puppet Master could barely be considered a special Jonin.
But under the siege of Fucheng, Fugaku, Qingming, and Huoying, the opponent didn't even last two rounds.
By the time Uchiha Fucheng summoned the giant eagle to land on the ground, the remaining five Suna Ninja were already dead beyond a doubt.
Fucheng looked at Fugaku, seamlessly responding to the previous topic.
"I'm not hurt too badly this time. What about Yashiro and the others? How are they?"
Fugaku's expression was slightly serious, "Yashiro saved a few heavily injured Konoha Ninja. Because their injuries were quite severe, I already had him take them and retreat first."
Before Fucheng could introduce the people on the giant eagle's back to Fugaku and Qingming, Uchiha Hezi, who jumped down first, rushed over excitedly.
"Uncle Qingming!"
After some introductions, it was revealed that Uchiha Seimei and Uchiha Hezi's father were actually brothers.
Uchiha Huoying was also a close cousin of mother Mikoto.
Fucheng mused internally, "It seems it's not just the Byakugan family; the Uchiha 'red-eye disease' family also has frequent cases of intermarriage."
It felt like everyone in the Uchiha Clan could claim some sort of kinship.
Seeing everyone descend from the giant eagle, Fugaku praised, "This summon of yours is really impressive!"
"Its name is Garuda." Uchiha Fucheng tossed a few blood-replenishing pills to the giant eagle, Garuda, waiting on the side.
Fucheng looked at Uchiha Hezi nearby and asked, "Hezi, the view from high altitude is clear. How is the main battlefield doing?"
Hezi pointed to the north and northeast and said, "The Suna Ninja in the north are still entangled with our Ninja forces. In the northeast, there is a lot of smoke and explosions. Most of the Suna Ninja forces have been scattered. Because there are many explosive traps in that direction, our Ninja forces don't seem to have pursued too deeply."
Hearing Hezi say this, Fugaku, who was beside them, raised his eyebrows, his tone cold yet tinged with excitement.
"It must be Sakumo Hatake! The northeast is the direction of Sakumo Hatake's attack. It seems he has defeated the opponent's expert."
Qingming and Huoying, who followed Fugaku, both had minor injuries.
Fucheng was also curious, "Weren't you supposed to intercept the Suna Ninja's core forces with White Fang of the Leaf? Why were you ambushed here just now?"
Fugaku helplessly showed a bitter expression, "The interception plan wasn't very successful. We encountered enemies who were too strong. Especially on the Suna Ninja side, there was a couple with Kage-level strength who controlled powerful, wide-range war puppets.
The Konoha Ninja unit lost many people. If it weren't for Sakumo Hatake luring these two Suna Ninja experts away to the northeast, we might not have even lasted long enough to retreat after being injured."
After a moment of contemplation, Uchiha Fucheng assessed the changes in the battlefield situation.
From the currently known information, Fucheng could guess: The current White Fang of the Leaf should have already killed Sasori's parents.
Without the leadership of these two Kage-level powerhouses, the Suna NinjaPuppet Master unit would inevitably be in disarray.
This battle by the Suna Ninja was destined to be a total rout.
The battlefield in the north, which was still entangled, was just the Suna Ninja temporarily struggling to hold off Konoha.
With Sakumo Hatake returning to support, and as the reinforcements led by Tsunade joined the battlefield from the rear, this large-scale battle between Konoha and the Suna Ninja was about to enter its final stage.
Fucheng looked at Fugaku, "What's next? What's the plan? Are we going to reinforce the northern battlefield, or head south to rendezvous with Yashiro and the others?"
Hearing Fucheng ask this, the group looked at Fugaku, waiting for his decision.
Having narrowly escaped death on the battlefield, Fugaku didn't want to take the injured Qingming and Huoying to reinforce the front lines again.
But his younger brother's gaze, the watching of other Ninjas, and the scrutiny of the female Ninjas made Fugaku fall into his old habit again.
He was conflicted!
This kind of "decision-making difficulty" was a "hereditary disease" that had been passed down for many years in the Uchiha Clan head lineage.
It was just like Fucheng and Fugaku's own father.
Just regarding the matter of "Uchiha Setsuna's rebellion," he had always been indecisive.
Lacking plans and decisiveness—that probably described their father.
Originally, many people in the Uchiha Clan were quite dissatisfied with the Second HokageTobirama's policies for governing the Uchiha Clan.
These people had long been eager to seize back political power from the Senju Clan.
But as the clan head of the Uchiha Clan, he was neither willing to fully support the hawk-faction Uchiha clansmen in resisting, nor was he willing to follow the village's rules to behave and unite the honest dove-faction Uchiha clansmen to live a good life.
In the end, the awkward choice of a fence-sitter could only result in "getting crushed while sitting on the fence"!
The clan head lineage ultimately ended up in the awkward situation of "being disliked by both sides."
Later, Uchiha Setsuna incited the clansmen to rebel and was captured by the Second HokageTobirama.
But Uchiha Setsuna also received unanimous support from the hawk-faction members within the clan.
Looking back at the clan head lineage, they were seen by the clansmen as "cowards" who were inactive and lacked responsibility.
When Uchiha Setsuna was imprisoned, Fugaku and his clan head lineage naturally couldn't stay out of it.
They were also severely punished by the Hokage lineage along with this rebellion event.
"Damn it, disliked by both sides!"
The evil Uchiha in Tobirama's eyes certainly included the clan head lineage.
When facing the irresistible Senju Tobirama, Fugaku's father agreed to many humiliating conditions.
Deeply depressed, he eventually died of melancholy.
Fugaku, who should have inherited the position of clan head, had also been squeezed out by the Second Elder Uchiha Setsuna, and the hawk-faction supporters boycotted Fugaku's succession.
When he first woke up, that was the reason why Uchiha Iwa mocked Fucheng!
Clearly, Uchiha Fugaku was already an adult, but he was forced by these clansmen not to succeed as clan head on the grounds of "being young and frivolous, needing more years of tempering."
The current Uchiha Clan would rather leave the clan head position vacant than let Fugaku take office.
Therefore, Fucheng was not surprised at all that Uchiha Fugaku could be so dithering and infuriatingly indecisive during the Uchiha Clan Downfall incident later on.
In Uchiha Fucheng's view, this was just the ancestors' traits being passed down.
Uchiha Madara rebelled and left the village, the clan head lineage back then was "having trouble choosing," and finally stayed in Konoha to hedge their bets.
Uchiha Setsuna assassinated Tobirama, and the clan head lineage was still "having trouble choosing" and stayed neutral.
Finally, it reached Uchiha Fugaku, and his strange judgments and bizarre behavior during the Uchiha Clan Downfall incident were not hard to understand at all.
A perfectly good hand of cards was played terribly!
Seeing that Fugaku was still struggling, Uchiha Fucheng didn't intend to wait for him.
Fucheng shook his head in self-mockery and thought to himself, "Since you have trouble choosing, then don't choose. Anyway, I will be the one to be the clan head in the future! Let me help the Uchiha choose."
