Chapter 54 Exposed
When Deidara walked out of Nanga Shrine, Uchiha Setsuna followed him.
Behind him are Uchiha Inahina, Tetsuka, and Yasiro, all of whom are major figures in the Hawk Faction.
"Uchiha Huoshu."
Uchiha Setsuna, leaning on a cane, called out to Deidara and walked towards him.
"Elder Setsuna." Deidara turned around and greeted him.
Uchiha Setsuna circled around him a few times. On his old face, his pair of Sharingans were still bright as ever.
"The chakra is indeed correct, otherwise I would have suspected that you were Huojiu. You suddenly became so strong, did you awaken those eyes?"
"What?" Deidara pretended to be ignorant.
"It's this kind of eyes, the Mangekyō Sharingan!" Uchiha Setsuna took a step forward and approached Deidara, the distance between them less than 20 centimeters.
At such a close distance, Deidara could clearly see the details of Uchiha Setsuna's eyes.
The three magatama in his Sharingan had stuck together and after spinning at high speed, they transformed into a black straight cross dart pattern.
Deidara pretended to be surprised and said, "So the eye above the Three Magatama Sharingan is called the Mangekyō Sharingan. I thought my eyes had mutated."
"Hehe... It's normal that you don't know. Our clan hasn't had a Mangekyō for a long time. Among the younger generation, only Shisui has awakened. Unfortunately, he's already..."
Uchiha Setsuna paused as he spoke, as if he was mourning Shisui's death, but after a moment he continued:
"Fortunately, after Shisui, you have also awakened this kind of eyes, and you are from our faction. Our Uchiha clan finally has a reliable force to fight against the village."
After that, he asked again: "Huojiu, what pupil technique is the Kaleidoscope you awakened?"
Deidara did not answer immediately. After all, he had an egg-shaped Mangekyō, and his pupil power was simply too strong.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Elder Setsuna, what do you want from me?" Deidara changed the subject.
This made the three hawk brothers at the back unhappy. Uchiha Yashiro even came up and directly scolded: "Elder Setsuna is asking you a question, who taught you to answer a question with a question!?"
Deidara glared at him directly, and the surging pupil power frightened Uchiha Yashiro so much that he took several steps back.
Uchiha Yashiro felt that if he dared to say one more word, he might get a few slaps from his favorite eater...
"Cough cough."
Uchiha Setsuna cleared his throat, and without noticing the scene where Uchiha Eighth Generation was humiliated, he continued: "I came to you for nothing else. I mainly want to discuss how to make you the head of the Uchiha clan."
He said it so easily that Deidara even had the illusion that he was asking him what he had for dinner.
"Isn't Patriarch Fugaku still alive? Why is Elder Setsuna so anxious to replace the Patriarch?"
"Fugaku has lost his sharpness since he got married. Do you think he dares to challenge the Hokage now? If he was not the only young Mangekyō in the clan, I would have wanted to bring him down long ago. He is simply the most cowardly clan leader in the history of our Uchiha!"
As Uchiha Setsuna spoke, his face became ferocious; it seemed that he was indeed very angry with Uchiha Fugaku.
"The situation is different now, Huojiu, you. You have also awakened the Mangekyō, so Fugaku can step back and you can lead everyone to overthrow the Hokage and revive the clan."
Deidara stroked his chin and said, "You have so much confidence in me, aren't you afraid that I will fail?"
Uchiha Setsuna said calmly: "If you fail, you will take the Uchiha clan to hell. Anyway, if we don't resist, we will be boiled like a frog in warm water and slowly perish as you said.
I cannot accept such an ending. The Uchiha clan must die in battle!"
clap clap.
Deidara applauded Uchiha Setsuna. Although this old guy was radical, it could not be denied that he had indeed seen through the Hokage series.
The Hokage would never let the Uchiha clan succeed, so he would rather give everything to fight for a chance.
Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.
"What Elder Setsuna is thinking is exactly what I am thinking. Okay, I agree. So how are you going to oust Chief Fugaku?"
Uchiha Setsuna's eyes flashed with scarlet light, and he said indifferently: "As long as you agree, it's fine. As for how to deal with Fugaku, it's my business. You just wait to become the clan leader, and I will help you clear all obstacles."
"Okay, happy cooperation then, Elder Setsuna."
Deidara stretched out his right hand, Uchiha Setsuna showed a satisfied smile, and also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Deidara.
Finally, Uchiha Setsuna still unwillingly asked: "What exactly is your pupil technique?"
Deidara turned and walked away, waving as he walked: "I will tell you, Elder Setsuna, when I become the Hokage."
"What a little fox! He wants us to help him become the Hokage before he tells us."

That night, Deidara returned to the house.
Just as I was about to switch back with the clone in the room, I suddenly felt something strange in the guest room next door.
Someone sneaked into his house and deliberately concealed his chakra aura, obviously trying to avoid the Anbu ninjas who were watching outside.
He walked straight to the guest room and opened the wooden sliding door.
Crack.
boom.
Deidara walked into the guest room. He didn't want to attract the attention of the Anbu ninja outside, so he didn't turn on the lights.
With the help of the faint moonlight coming in from outside, Deidara saw that this was a middle-aged man wearing the Uchiha ancestral robe.
"Hey, Chief Fugaku."
After seeing the man's face clearly, Deidara greeted him with a playful smile: "Why don't you stay at home with the clan leader's wife so late at night? Why do you have time to come to my shabby place?"
Uchiha Fugaku folded his arms across his chest and remained silent.
After a long while, he finally spoke, his eyes as sharp as a hawk's as he stared at Deidara's face:
"Many people in the clan have died one after another, including Dishuihuofeng who died today, but what I never expected was that Huojiu also died."
"But your Sharingan is genuine and can be turned on and off easily. So, I am very curious, who are you?"
These words made Deidara's body freeze as he was about to sit down. He couldn't figure out where he went wrong.
Logically speaking, he read all of Uchiha Huoshu's memories through illusion, so when he imitated him, he even imitated some details.
There shouldn't be a place where one could be seen through, but Uchiha Fugaku saw through it.
With such a confident look, there was no way she was trying to trick him.
After a pause, Deidara finally sat down. The fact that the other party was willing to sit here and ask him questions meant that he was not going to expose him, at least not in the short term.
