Chapter 652 A Sudden Tremor
The guard was startled by Fugaku's sudden aura and hurriedly replied respectfully, "Lord Fugaku, he... he is Zhang Hai, who killed 'Kage-dama'."
Zhang Hai?
Fugaku's heart skipped a beat. He knew that name, of course. The boy who had brutally murdered "Kagemadara" with bizarre power and swordsmanship before the memorial stone. At the time, he only knew that Zhang Hai was exceptionally talented, but he hadn't connected him with the Uchiha clan.
But at this moment, thinking of Mikoto's intimate attitude towards Zhang Hai, and Zhang Hai's extraordinary strength... a terrible thought instantly surfaced in his mind.
“Uchiha… Zhang Hai?” Fugaku murmured to himself.
He ignored the guards and vanished from the torture chamber in a flash. He returned to the Uchiha clan's territory as quickly as possible and went straight to the shrine where the clan's genealogy was kept.
In the dimly lit ancestral hall, Fugaku lit an oil lamp and then carefully took an ancient family genealogy book from the bookshelf. He opened the genealogy book, his Sharingan eyes quickly scanning the lines, searching for the name "Zhang Hai".
really!
On one page of the family tree, he found a name that had been blacked out—"Uchiha Shokai".
However, what shocked him even more was that next to this name was written "deceased," and the person who reported it was... Uchiha Mikoto!
Fugaku's pupils suddenly contracted, and his three-tomoe Sharingan eyes, at that moment, seemed to be ignited with flames, turning an incomparably crimson red. A violent surge of chakra erupted from his body, and the air in the shrine instantly became heavy and oppressive.
He suddenly reached out and pressed his fingers firmly against the blackened name "Uchiha Shokai".
"Clap!"
A drop of bright red liquid spilled from Fugaku's three-tomoe Sharingan, slid down his cheek, and dripped onto the family tree, completely staining the words "Uchiha Shokai" with blood.
Those were not ordinary tears, but blood and tears shed by the Sharingan due to extreme jealousy and anger.
"Mikoto...you...you lied to me?!" Fugaku's voice was low and hoarse, filled with disbelief, anger, and betrayal. He had always believed Mikoto to be a gentle, virtuous, and unwaveringly loyal wife. He had even been proud of her. But now, it all seemed to be a colossal lie!
He remembered Mikoto telling him that a child in their family had died due to chakra depletion. He had only heard it casually at the time and hadn't investigated further. Now, thinking back, it was clearly a lie Mikoto had fabricated to conceal Zhang Hai's true identity!
Jealousy, like a venomous snake, coiled tightly around his heart. Anger, like a raging fire, burned away his reason.
Fugaku slammed the family genealogy book shut and turned to leave the ancestral hall. The anger in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt, making him want to destroy everything completely at once.
He returned home.
As Mikoto pushed open the door, she saw that the house was preparing dinner. Hearing the door open, she turned to look at Fugaku with a gentle smile on her face.
"Fugaku-kun, you're back." Mikoto's voice was still gentle, her eyes showing a hint of weariness, yet filled with love for her family.
However, Fugaku remained oblivious to Mikoto's gentleness. His face was clouded with gloom, and his Sharingan with its three tomoe glowed with a cold red light in the dim room.
"Where did you go?" Fugaku's voice was deep and cold, containing a hint of barely perceptible questioning and anger.
Mikoto paused for a moment, looking at Fugaku's gloomy expression, a sense of unease welling up inside her.
"I...I went to visit Zhang Haijun." Mikoto hesitated for a moment, but finally answered truthfully.
"Visit?!" Fugaku's voice suddenly rose as he stepped forward, his eyes filled with anger and suspicion. He abruptly activated his Sharingan, the three tomoe spinning in his pupils as he stared intently at Mikoto.
"Did you...did you secretly go to see your little lover?!" Fugaku's voice was filled with uncontrollable anger and jealousy; every word he uttered seemed to accuse Mikoto of betrayal.
Uchiha Mikoto was startled by Fugaku's sudden questioning and anger. Her eyes widened, her face filled with shock and disbelief.
"Fugaku-kun! What...what are you saying?!" Mikoto's voice trembled slightly; she had never seen Fugaku so angry and out of control.
"What did you say?!" Fugaku's voice suddenly rose. He took a step forward, almost touching Mikoto's face. His Sharingan with its three tomoe radiated a cold red light, and the oppressive feeling at close range made Mikoto feel suffocated. "You think I don't know anything?! You think I wouldn't find out that you secretly went to the prison to see that little bastard?!"
He stared intently at Mikoto, every word he uttered seeming to tear her heart apart.
“You little bastard?! You…” Mikoto’s face turned deathly pale instantly. She wanted to argue and refute, but Fugaku’s next words choked her up.
"Uchiha... Zhang Hai!" Fugaku practically spat out the name through gritted teeth, his Sharingan eyes filled with extreme rage and betrayal. "You think you've hidden it so well?! You think I'll be kept in the dark forever?!"
The moment Fugaku uttered the words "Uchiha Shokai," Mikoto's body trembled violently, a look of shock flashing in her eyes. But then, her tense body quietly relaxed.
It's out. This secret, hidden for so many years, has finally been exposed.
However, she felt no fear as she had expected; instead, she felt a sense of relief.
Seeing Mikoto's shocked yet relieved expression, Fugaku's anger reached its peak. He thought Mikoto was admitting it and mocking his stupidity.
“You…” A dangerous glint flashed in Fugaku’s eyes. His three-tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly in his pupils, eventually revealing a unique pattern unlike anything he had ever seen before! The pattern was complex and eerie, radiating a chilling chakra fluctuation that seemed capable of swallowing everything in the world.
Mikoto stared at Fugaku's suddenly transformed Sharingan, her pupils contracting sharply, her face revealing unprecedented shock and fear.
This...this is the Mangekyou Sharingan?! And this pattern is unique to Fugaku!
She had never imagined that Fugaku would also awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan! And under such extreme anger and jealousy! A chill ran through her heart. She knew that once Fugaku was completely dominated by this power and emotion, the entire Uchiha clan, and even the entire Hidden Leaf Village, could be plunged into a huge crisis.
