"Fugaku, don't be so serious. What if you scare the child?" Uchiha Mikoto glared at him and beckoned, "Kai, Auntie has made some delicious food for you."
"I also have something important to announce."
Something important?
Uchiha Fugaku and the others were stunned.
Kai was no exception, but he quickly looked at Uchiha Mikoto's slightly protruding belly.
"Auntie, are you pregnant?"
His sudden question made Uchiha Fugaku's expression falter. He asked urgently, "Mikoto, is Kai telling the truth?"
Uchiha Mikoto was stunned. "Kai, I just found out when I went to the doctor. How did you know?"
At this moment, even Uchiha Fugaku and the others sensed something was wrong.
"Could it be the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan?" Uchiha Fugaku frowned. "Mikoto, be careful from now on."
"Itachi, Shisui, go help prepare dinner. Minato, stay for dinner too. It's been over a year since we had a drink together."
"Haha, Fugaku, you're so polite. It's been a long time since I've tasted my sister-in-law's cooking," Minato Namikaze wasn't a fool.
He instantly saw Uchiha Fugaku's intention to talk to Kai alone.
If it were anyone else, Minato would never let Kai out of his sight.
But as good brothers, Minato knew that Uchiha Fugaku wouldn't gamble with the clan's fate lightly.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have put the burden of changing the clan's fate on his shoulders.
"Thank you, Minato," Uchiha Fugaku said gratefully, then looked at Kai. "Kai, come with me. I want to talk to you alone."
"Yeah!" Kai didn't refuse. At least, out of gratitude for past favors, he still had the respect he owed to the elders of the Uchiha family.
He casually threw the Three-Tails to Uchiha Itachi, who was completely stunned.
"One meal is enough. It won't cause any trouble."
"Yes, yes, the boss is right. Just let me eat until I'm half full," the Three-Tails, Isobu, didn't care about Kai's disrespect.
Seeing the mighty Tailed Beast, reduced to being satisfied with a single meal, the huge gap made Minato feel helpless.
But more than that, he was shocked by Kai's methods.
If he really encountered other Tailed Beasts, would they also be tamed like the Three-Tails?
Once that happened, the entire ninja world would tremble in fear.
Kai followed Uchiha Fugaku to the basement.
Seeing the mysterious sealing techniques along the way being undone one by one by Uchiha Fugaku, Kai knew that their destination was probably the Uchiha clan's forbidden area.
After passing through the final corridor, the two finally reached the sealing gate.
This gate was made of special chakra iron, which had the ability to absorb chakra.
It could withstand a certain level of attacks.
Combined with some sealing techniques, it would take at least a low-level S-rank jutsu to break through.
"Kai, you should have guessed that this is our Uchiha clan's forbidden area. Only the head of each generation can enter, and those who have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan," Uchiha Fugaku said solemnly.
"This time, you'll open it."
Kai didn't refuse. He took a step forward, and his nine-tomoe Sharingan suddenly spun, and the mysterious sealing techniques on the gate began to rotate rapidly.
The next moment, it transformed into a blood-red eye.
A powerful spiritual force surged into Kai's mind.
"Hmph, Uchiha Madara, get out!" Kai snorted, and a powerful spiritual force surged out like a tidal wave.
This was the sealing technique left behind by Uchiha Madara. When activated by the Mangekyō Sharingan, it would trigger the genjutsu he left behind to test the strength of his successor.
Looking at Kai, who instantly regained consciousness, Uchiha Fugaku's expression changed.
The first time he entered, although he had also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, he couldn't achieve what Kai had done.
Back then, it took him a minute to regain consciousness, and his father, the previous clan leader, had praised him as a genius.
Now, Kai had done it in just a single breath. This huge gap shocked Uchiha Fugaku, even though he was mentally prepared.
If he was a genius, then Kai was a blatant monster.
"Let's go," Kai walked into the secret room first.
Inside, there were many scrolls and a rough stone tablet engraved with a Mangekyō Sharingan.
Uchiha Fugaku regained his senses and quickly followed.
"This is where our Uchiha clan stores jutsu scrolls and clan records. But when Madara left, he took many with him, leaving only a few jutsu. You can browse them," Uchiha Fugaku looked around and said. "As for that stone tablet, you can use your Mangekyō Sharingan to open it. You might get some special inheritance."
"But before that, I want to know what you're thinking. Are you planning to follow the path of Uchiha Madara?"
As he spoke, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes became sharper, trying to see a change in Kai's expression.
"What if I told you I encountered Uchiha Madara on the battlefield? Would you believe me?" Kai smiled, meeting his gaze.
His voice was soft, but in Uchiha Fugaku's ears, it was like thunder, shaking his nerves.
"You, you really met him. Did he instruct you to do what you've done?" Uchiha Fugaku's expression changed dramatically.
From his change in expression, Kai was even more certain that Uchiha Madara had never given up on trying to win over Uchiha Fugaku, who had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
After all, he was a ready-made combat force.
Moreover, as long as he could manipulate the current head of the Uchiha clan, it wouldn't be difficult to rise again.
"Uncle, you underestimate me," Kai shook his head with a smile. "He did want me to inherit his will, but what if I told you that I killed him? Would you believe me?"
"He was killed by you?"
Uchiha Fugaku's expression changed dramatically.
In their eyes, Uchiha Madara was a god-like existence.
After awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Fugaku had also been in contact with him. He knew how terrifying he was.
"Yes, he's dead. I have no reason to lie to you," Kai said calmly.
Uchiha Fugaku fell silent, then said after a long time, "Ten years ago, I also encountered him. At that time, although he was also aging, he was still stronger than me."
"For the continuation of the Uchiha clan, I fought him, but unfortunately, I didn't reach your level."
"Over the years, you should have seen the decline of the Uchiha clan. In fact, if he hadn't taken all the clan's forbidden jutsu, ninjutsu, and other resources, our Uchiha clan wouldn't have fallen into decline."
