I Am Fugaku Uchiha

Orochimaru's smirk lingered as he spoke in his hoarse voice: "Yes, there is. During this time, my experiments haven't halted, but unfortunately, success has eluded me."

"The Sharingan and the Hashirama cells are indispensable. If you want to obtain the Sharingan, you have to act before he returns," Danzo replied coldly, his brow furrowing.

Orochimaru spread his hands helplessly, saying, "I can't help it. The camp is now under Nara Shikaku's control, and if you plan to take action against them, you must think long-term."

"Leave it to me!" Danzo's voice was low, and confidence was evident in his tone as he began formulating his plan.

Orochimaru remained silent, hidden under his black robe. Slowly, he started walking towards the Konoha camp, his purpose clear—to collect the Sharingan eyes from the fallen Uchiha on the battlefield.

His strength allowed him to retrieve the eyes of deceased clansmen, hiding their bodies discreetly to avoid detection. Who knew that Uchiha Fugaku's disruptive actions in Suna had caused the mission to stall, leaving Orochimaru with a stranded assignment?

"Orochimaru? Where have you been?" Tsunade, his former companion, frowned and questioned him before he reached the camp.

"It's nothing. I just went out for some fresh air." Orochimaru shrugged casually.

Tsunade squinted, puzzled by his choice of attire. "Do you need to dress like this to walk?"

Chuckling, Orochimaru replied, "Kekeke, is there anything wrong with how I'm dressed?" Ignoring her, he turned and continued towards his tent.

In the country of bears, nestled within the hidden village of the stars, Fugaku raised a concern over metrotite, addressing the elderly man seated across from him, "Metrotite, the radioactivity is too strong. Although it indeed enhances chakra, the human body can't withstand it. It's better for you guys to train less."

As time passed, Fugaku became acquainted with many people in the village. Gradually, the initial wariness toward him began to fade.

Not without reason, as in his free time, Fugaku shared his knowledge with them, teaching ninjutsu to those who were only familiar with the peacock method.

For the Star Ninjas, this was a significant development. Fugaku, with his expertise, introduced them to a variety of ninjutsu techniques. copied from Rogue Ninjas Jutsu, spanning water style, fire style, and lightning style.

Hoshikage smiled and nodded. "The old man has known it for a long time, but unfortunately, the people in the village are really not convincing. After you make such a deal, it may be a turning point."

The ninjas of the Star Ninja Village held high regard for their Peacock Method, considering it a significant asset and fueling their ambitions to become powerful shinobi.

However, despite the Peacock Method having its merits, it came with various limitations that made it less formidable compared to techniques used by other ninja villages. Now, with Fugaku's arrival, their confidence was directly shattered.

One individual effortlessly defeated them all, underscoring that it wasn't a significant effort. The realization dawned upon them that they had much to learn and adapt to if they were to stand on par with the broader world of Shinobi.

"It's good to have a will that aims for strength. After all, this is a world that speaks in terms of strength. But using your body as a liability is not a good thing."

Hoshikage remarked, shaking his head with a bitter smile. "What you said is right, but in such a short period, you have not only learned the Peacock Method but also mastered the control of chakra shape at will. The old man truly admires........"

Two hundred years ago, a meteorite crashed in this village. Despite his decades of attainments, Hoshikage found Fugaku's progress in less than a month to be depressingly impressive.

Fugaku was about to respond when an eagle flew in. It was the same eagle he used to communicate with Shikaku. Whenever he needed to stay in a place for a while, he would send this eagle to relay messages with Shikaku.

Although Star Village is currently situated in the country of bears, he still passed by the land of rivers. The two countries were located far apart, one in the east and the other in the west. The journey for a ninja took nearly a month, even with the speed of an eagle. It took a few days for the eagle to travel back and forth.

Upon receiving the news brought back by the eagle, Fugaku couldn't help but frown. "I'm sorry, Hoshikage, but I'm afraid I'll need to return now."

"Huh? In such a hurry? Then I won't send you off. Go on your way," Hoshikage responded, understanding the urgency of the situation.

Fugaku nodded, acknowledging the situation, but opted not to respond verbally. He walked out of the house, and the newly learned Peacock Method unfolded effortlessly.

Translucent wings sprouted instantly from Fugaku's back, the condensation and control of chakra achieved without the need for hand seals. However, the eye-catching shape and color of these wings couldn't be ignored.

Despite Hoshikage and the ninjas in the Star Village having seen it before, it always seemed as though Fugaku wasn't here to learn ninjutsu but to showcase his prowess.

Fugaku's Peacock Method resembled a pair of enormous transparent wings, with faintly connected blue chakras flowing between the wings. The most striking difference, however, was the exaggerated flames that engulfed Fugaku's wings.

To avoid attention, Fugaku ascended into the sky. The cloudless, blue expanse resembled a vast sea, and by the time he reached a thousand meters high, he vanished from sight.

Continuing his ascent, a flock of geese flew by, and Fugaku, with wings flapping, trailed behind them. Expecting them to scatter in fear, they remained unperturbed and continued their flight.

Fugaku believed his improved Peacock Method could reach new heights, but the urgency of the situation compelled him to refrain from experimenting further.

He accelerated towards the west. Maintaining the Peacock Method, his wings, and the wind attribute chakra proved challenging even for Fugaku's control abilities.

Fugaku felt that his peacock method, which he had improved, should be able to fly higher than ever before. But he had to stop trying to experiment with it.

The wind-attributed chakra burst out. And his whole body began to accelerate toward the west.

At the same time as maintaining his peacock method, his flames on his wings, and his wind attribute chakra, even with Fugaku's control ability, it was also difficult to do so.

In an attempt to enhance their appearance when he used his wings, he transferred some fire attribute chakra, resulting in the current spectacle.

Despite appearances, Fugaku had no intention of showing off. Shikaku's urgent message had stirred him. Akihiko was injured in an attack by the Suna camp, and tensions escalated as the camp initiated a small-scale tentative assault once again.
