Chapter 51: Half an hour ago
After leaving, Fugaku smirked as he held the scroll in his arms. How amazing it was! He could create forests, transform trees, and bend nature to his will.
Old fool, do you think you can mess with me? I am fugaku uchiha and always ahead of people like you.
"Hey, Mikoto! What brings you here?" He asked them with curiosity. He had just walked away from the root base when he saw his pregnant wife, Mikoto, and her friend, Kushina, approaching.
Mikoto had a worried look on her face. She saw Fugaku not far ahead, looking at herself. She looked up and down at her husband and saw that he looked fine. She breathed a sigh of relief, then asked him. "Are you alright?"
"What can happen to me?" Fugaku smiled as he felt her concern and embraced her. "Why did you come all the way here from home?"
Mikoto was about to answer, but Kushina, with a sly grin, cut her off.
"Of course, Mikoto was worried about you. By the way, clan head, what was going on in there?"
Kushina had just asked, but then she spotted Minato coming from behind and called out to him. "Hey, Minato."
Minato saw Kushina waving at him and smiled warmly at her. Fugaku watched the two and couldn’t help but tease them.
"Hey, Kushina, you’re not seeing Minato for the first time; do you need to be so excited?"
"Ah, what?" Kushina exclaimed, then blushed as she realized what she had done.
Fugaku was confused and looked at Minato, who couldn’t see any problem. Then he glanced at the two of them and still didn’t get it.
"Minato has been on a mission these days, so he hasn’t been home," Mikoto explained for Kushina’s sake.
"Oh, I see. I thought they were already living together." Fugaku understood: "Never mind, let’s not disturb them; let’s go."
The two were teased by Fugaku like this, and they were both a little embarrassed. The two felt embarrassed by Fugaku’s teasing.
"Fugaku clan head, how can he say that?" Kushina said to Minato with a blush, "It’s your fault; you haven’t come to see me for a few days."
"Ah!!" Minato was startled, then scratched his head sheepishly: "Haha, okay, okay, it’s my fault."

Mikoto, who was on her way home, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing her husband covered only in dust and dirt without any injuries.
"What happened just now?" she asked.
"Nothing, just had a fight with Danzo." Fugaku smiled and shook his head.
Mikoto nodded in response to Fugaku's thoughts about the day’s events.

"You Uchiha bastard…… looking for death."
"Wind release: vacuum wave."
Danzo was furious, and he made hand seals, took a deep breath, and unleashed his wind release, a skill that allowed him to exhale powerful vacuum-based attacks that could slash like blades or pierce like bullets.
This wind blade had a very strong cutting ability and could even slice through boulders. But when the wind blade hit Fugaku’s chakra armor...
"What?" Danzo’s face showed shock and disbelief. How could his ninjutsu do no damage at all? "What is this?" he asked.
"What’s going on?"
"How can this be, even Danzo’s ninjutsu…"
The root ninjas looked at the battle in front of them with disbelief. The earlier ninjutsu had failed, which they could understand as the chakra shock wave from Fugaku’s punch countered the ninjutsu.
But now, Danzo’s strongest wind release hit him, and it did nothing? What was going on? Fugaku grinned as he looked at his stupid face and couldn’t help but taunt.
"Danzo, why don’t you try with that Sharingan eye of yours?"
"What…" Danzo was startled but quickly regained his wits: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" He tried to act ignorant because he was shameless and cunning.
Fugaku smirked: "It doesn’t matter if it’s nonsense. You and I know the truth."
Danzo felt a chill in his heart. He had always concealed his eye. Only a few root ninjas knew about it. But how did Fugaku find out?
He dug out the eyes of his clan members, which was a serious crime. As long as it was made public, it would cause public outrage in the village. At that time, even the Third Hokage could not protect him.
"What do you want to do?" Danzo asked, gritting his teeth.
He didn’t forget to make a gesture to his subordinates, letting these root ninjas disperse. He knew that Fugaku was too strong for him to handle. And if he used his chakra-enhanced punch again, this place would be buried under Konoha village.
This was his root; how could he allow such a thing to happen? So he had to compromise, but he didn’t want his subordinates to know what would happen next. At this time, he looked at Fugaku. When did this guy become so strong?
" Danzo, are you give up now?" Fugaku asked, mocking him.
