Chapter 68: Chapter 17 : Part 4
- Silas -
"Ah… I held back you know but that guy tried to control me and I was angry and…" her voice got lower the more she spoke and I found my eyes twitching at her words.
"Oh my, that's a problem. At this rate, the water will just wash everyone up when the ice melts. We can't let that happen, can we." Lucoa, who had been silent for all this time, spoke. "Let me do something about it."
Then something happened which I would remember till the end of my life.
Lucoa turned into her dragon form… her ginormous dragon from.
I couldn't even see her end from the place I was standing. I wasn't the only one surprised. Even Rimuru was slapping my back in stunned shock as he looked at her form. Milim was surprised too although she seemed more excited than anything else.
Tohru was the only one unsurprised. "Lucoa is a former Goddess. This much is only normal."
Lucoa went high up in the sky and roared and we looked, equal parts shocked and terrified as the moon in the sky cracked. A piece of the moon was ripped apart and fell down.
I was sure this was the very scene Dinosaurs would have looked at before going extinct but the rocks slowed down and were crushed by her power as they slowly fell in the trench, mending the whole trench once more.
When that was done, trees grew at a visible pace, covering the ground and the parts mended by her.
Finally, the moon was then reshaped back into its previous shape and was… dragged closer to the planet so the size that we saw remained the same as before.
Done with everything, Lucoa turned back into her human form and landed beside us.
"There, all patched up. I had to use the moon as taking that much land from anywhere else in the world would have caused a lot of more damage. I pulled it slightly closer to prevent any change of tides. Try not to cause so much damage next time, Milim."
"Okay… that was totally awesome by the way. I didn't know we could do that. I will have to try that someday." Milim said, sending me into a bout of panic.
"No… no destroying or trying something like that or…"
"Or?" She asked.
Yes… what can I even threaten her with?
Then I remembered something and took a deep breath. "Or no desserts for you."
As expected, the girl went pale and was instantly in my face. "No Sil, that's horrible. Rimuru! Tell him."
"Well, he is not wrong, you know." Rimuru supported me and finally Milim was pacified and I prevented a heart attack.
Can Archdaemons even get heart attacks?
The show of power from Lucoa had left everyone speechless.
I quickly took the opportunity of this and looked at the old man. "I have already said what I wanted to say. You can either obey or I will finish what was started today. Naruto is someone I consider my little brother. He is not and will never be anyone's weapon."
This time however no one spoke anything.
No one even looked blinked as they stared into the sky, at the moon.
I asked Tohru to teleport us away to prevent them from finding where we were going.
With that, quickly left the place.
I also made a vow to never let Milim or Tohru go to any other worlds, unsupervised.
- Fugaku Uchiha -
Two days had passed and yet, the village was still shaken from the events of that night.
In fact, not only the village but the whole ninja world was shaken. After all, one couldn't hide the reshaping of the moon or the attack which created a trench across half the Land of Fire or the attack which froze all the water in that trench.
Maybe the only silver lining is that the major attacks were all near the hokage mountain and not towards the village or there would probably be no village by now.
It both relieved and terrified him to realise that the dragon, despite destroying a part of the village, was still holding back. It also made them realise how badly they would have ended up had that black haired man… the Dragon's boss not come when he did.
This attack had brought to light a lot of darkness of the villages, the flaw of management and things they desperately hid.
But that was not all. It also brought to light the truth about Itachi.
His son had those eyes too. Itachi had the Mangekyo and he hid them… Not only that, he also had eyes of Shisui which contained… that… jutsu.
The scenario which came to mind after the reveal of this information was not good at all. Fugaku knew about Itachi's feelings for the clan and the realisation of which side he might have stood had the clan actually rebelled… it chilled his heart.
But it was this feeling which pushed him forward to actually take a stand for his people. That decrepit old monkey and his friends had pushed the Uchiha far too much and had even turned his own people against them, probably intending to use them. The eye and arm of Danzo were the final straws for Fugaku and the rest of the Uchiha Clan.
The attack had in a way been a boon for the Uchiha Clan overall. First, the Clan was hardly affected by the attack being on the outskirts of the village. Second, the shock of the incident of that day had actually pushed a large part of his clan members to either awaken their sharingan or pushed their sharingan to evolve further, increasing the overall power of the Uchiha Clan by leaps and bounds.
Lastly, the reveal of information about Naruto Uzumaki and the things Hiruzen Sarutobi had hidden and the words of that man had brought about many opinions around the village.
To some extent, Fugaku understood the thinking of the people.
They were angry and needed someone to vent… just like they had done to Naruto. They obviously couldn't or rather didn't even dare to say anything about the kid or the dragons, at least not after the show of power by them, so the only ones who they could vent their anger on were the third hokage and the other advisors.
The rumours also helped out their clan as some people who had seen the sharingan in Danzo's presence had spread the news, especially after seeing him trying to control such strong dragons. Now there were rumours of him being involved in the kyuubi attacks since he also had the means to do so. Moreover, Danzo's actions preventing the Uchiha clan from intervening during the Kyuubi attack also worked against him.
Everyone… even Fugaku himself thought that he might actually have done so since he was targeting the Uchiha Clan from the very beginning.
After all, everyone with a little knowhow about the man knew of his ambitions and the kyuubi attack could have cleared out most of his competition for the position of the Hokage. Too bad for him that Minato had overturned the board with his wife.
Now he just needed to take advantage of this situation and not only could he save his Clan but also help bring justice to his fallen clans men.
The image of Danzo's arm was imprinted in his mind after all. It haunted his dreams. The bastard might be dead but Fugaku wouldn't sit still until all his co-conspirators were punished too.
It was this thought which brought him to his current decision.
"Are you sure you want to do this, Fugaku?" Mikoto asked.
"Yes. I need to do this Mikoto. For the Clan and for the village."
"Very well."
She brought out a scroll and unsealed it.
In a sealed tube were two eyes.
Two Mangekyo Sharingan belonging to Itachi.
His son had implanted Shisui's eye and Shisui being a close relative of theirs, the implants went without any hitch. It might not have been good enough to evolve the eyes but Itachi will not be facing any problems in using them. The only reason he had left those eyes with Itachi was because both the eyes had been used and won't be usable in the near future. By the time they can be used again, he can achieve his goal. ANd in the worst case scenario, he also left a backup for them.
The surgery had however left Itachi unconscious due to low levels of chakra he had back then and Fugaku took advantage of this and exchanged his other eye with the second eye of Shisui which was in Danzo's possession. The dragon girl had left the eye on the ground with the arm after plucking it out from Danzo.
They had given him a reason that his other eye was damaged in the battle.
One of the eyes was white due to the use of Izanagi, an eye most would consider useless, which would be true at least until they were evolved.
For the Mangekyo Sharingan to evolve to the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, one didn't need to just implant the eyes of a close family member… they needed to merge them together or two brothers could just exchange eyes.
One pair was sealed inside the other and over the course of a week, the two eyes merged. The requirement for being close family members was not only so that their blood doesn't reject the eye but also because the chakra of close family members was almost identical and allowed the eyes to merge seamlessly into one.
This process strengthened the eyes to a new level where it doesn't get corroded by the strong chakra of the Mangekyo.
He closed his eyes and let Mikoto take care of the rest.
When he wakes up… things will change.

Author's Note:
I am done with the next chapter of 'Isekai Restaurant'.
Well, things escalated quickly, didn't it.
Letting Tohru and Milim go after them was probably not the best idea.
As for Konoha… they fucked around and found out.
Now I know there will be that one guy who will try to defend Sarutobi… because there is always that one idiot. For them, understand that Silas' impression about Sarutobi is not exactly his true character. It's based on what he can see and think, Gojo's own guesses due to his experiences with the JJK higher ups who were similar pieces of shit and the circumstances. As for the Jinchuriki part, that was translated due to Devil Language BS.
Silas doesn't even know that term and that's why he was incensed.
We will see the full extent of the damage and consequences on Konoha in the next chapter. There were far too many things which needed to be addressed and I am at the word limit.
Oh and before someone asks in the comments, Guy and Kakashi were out on mission.
Enjoy the new chapter.
Good Day, Peace Out.
