Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 72 Feathered Robe: Elders, please assess the power of these eyes (1 words, please subscribe)

"Why did things turn out this way?"

Inside the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage, with a pipe in his mouth, looked at the report in his hand, his expression not very good.

Rumors about Orochimaru's involvement in human research began to spread uncontrollably and wildly, and within just a few days it seemed that the entire Hidden Leaf Village already knew about it!

This is definitely not the situation he wanted to see; Orochimaru is, after all, his disciple.

With Orochimaru bearing such a stain, he, as a teacher, is probably even more to blame.

"Danzo, is that you?"

The Third Hokage frowned deeply; the first person he thought of was Danzo.

Because the only person in Konoha who had the ability to do all this, and who also knew about Orochimaru's involvement in human experimentation, was Danzo!

Moreover, he knew that Danzo had always coveted the position of Hokage.

It's highly likely that he'll be putting in extra effort for his dream at this point in time.

You shouldn't have done that.

The Third Hokage, looking troubled, had a cigarette dangling from his lips, and the entire Hokage's office was already filled with smoke.

Although Danzo was someone who could "queue up for the top spot," he didn't really think Danzo would become a qualified Hokage.

Danzo is better suited to remain underground, handling matters that Konoha cannot openly address or arbitrarily execute.

Instead of coming to the ground and letting everyone see him!

"Ugh."

Perhaps it was out of a sense of indebtedness, since Danzo's current predicament was largely due to the Third Hokage.

In the original story, Danzo was not blamed for assassinating the Third Hokage, probably because of this sense of guilt. This time, he also did not intend to blame Danzo.

People should have dreams, because dreams give them motivation and drive them to do what they should do.

"However, Danzo absolutely cannot become Hokage; someone must replace Orochimaru."

This election for the fourth generation leader has more candidates and is more complicated than expected.

The fact that Fugaku Uchiha also had this idea made him shake his head.

Putting aside the fact that Fugaku Uchiha wasn't "one of us," he couldn't even manage his own clan properly. What qualifications did he have to be Hokage?

"Lord Hokage."

Just as the third generation was deep in thought, a member of the secret service strode in and respectfully handed over a document.

"What's wrong?"

The Third Hokage snapped out of his daze and looked at the Anbu member with a puzzled expression, but he quickly took the document.

"Is something wrong again?"

He murmured something, but a sense of unease lingered in his heart.

Sure enough, when he opened the document and took a closer look, his face instantly darkened—

Police Department Captain Uchiha Yasaka has gone missing, and the Uchiha suspect Orochimaru is behind it.

"Are these Uchiha people insane?"

The Third Hokage is genuinely angry now. The Uchiha are creating momentum, gaining sympathy, and giving Orochimaru a good kick in the face!

As for the disappearance of the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha, it's possible that he concealed his identity or encountered some kind of accident!

Of course, it's not impossible that Danzo might take action.

After all, this would make him hate the Uchiha even more, and it would also trick Orochimaru, which would be good for Danzo!

"We need to choose a new person as soon as possible; we can't let this continue."

The Third Hokage immediately made a decision: the Uchiha problem could be dealt with later; the biggest issue at present was choosing a new Hokage.

Although he still felt that it was best for him to control Konoha—

Since Fugaku Uchiha was giving him such an opportunity, Hagoromo naturally didn't need to be polite to him.

Although he wanted to continue his meditation, he also knew that there were some things he needed to prepare before taking action.

For example, we can find out some information about these elders and understand their security arrangements.

To be honest, this high-level gathering really gave Yuzhi a huge advantage, because he could actually "only kill those with influence".

"The Uchiha clan needs to continue to exist. If all the capable people are killed, the clan will suffer."

Eliminating these high-ranking members and severing the transmission of their will would greatly preserve the remaining elite Uchiha.

As for how to deal with the others, it's not particularly difficult.

"Treat them to a meal, behead them, or take them as your dogs."

Although the words are rough, they will never be outdated.

The hardliners were sent down to have tea with the elders.

Those who are willing to obey are even those who intend to endure for the time being; as long as these people do not cause trouble, Yuzhi will not be in too much of a predicament.

The Uchiha clan will change. As long as things improve, the thoughts of these long-suffering clan members will gradually change.

There must be no mercy when it's time to be ruthless, and you must know when to stop before you can gain the support of the majority.

"Of course, if they really refuse to listen, I'll have enough examples to make an example of them."

In the following days, Yuzhi began to seriously investigate the past of these elders.

After all, the fact that they've reached this position already proves that they were once incredibly powerful ninjas.

Although the passage of time may have diminished their former strength, it's always good to be cautious.

Moreover, the people who can take on their security responsibilities are not to be underestimated, and Yuzhi does not want this operation to become public knowledge.

"However, these kinds of things are really hard to investigate."

After spending several days investigating, Yuzhi was somewhat discouraged.

The elders were alright, because their deeds had long been legends in the family.

It's not difficult to find out at all; you can even find it by flipping through some ancient books.

However, the ninjas responsible for their safety were not so easy to investigate; they were simply too mysterious.

"Never mind, it's normal that we can't find them. Getting a general understanding of the elders' situation is enough."

Although he was a little down, Yuzhi still had a good attitude, especially since he had learned something very interesting.

In recent days, comments about Orochimaru's human experiments in Konoha have been spreading like wildfire, like a volcanic eruption.

Furthermore, information that "elites of the Uchiha clan have gone missing, suspected to have been attacked by Orochimaru" began to spread rapidly.

To be honest, when he heard this information, Yuzhi was also a little stunned. This situation seemed to be different from what he had expected.

Why did they skip over the fact that the "clan leader and the doves" were behind this, and then make Orochimaru the scapegoat?

"However, this situation has its pros and cons."

Undeniably, Orochimaru's scapegoating led to the complete removal of the haori, and no one would have guessed what he had done.

The Orochimaru incident was already enough to send chills down the spines of Konoha's higher-ups, and now the Uchiha have pulled off something like this.

One can imagine just how much the Third Hokage and his ilk hate the Uchiha clan now.

Of course, with such a strong 'rumor' circulating outside, this is even more suitable for Operation Hagoromo.

However, the difficulty of the final work has predictably increased considerably.

Thinking of this, Yuzhi felt somewhat helpless.

Plans can't keep up with changes; there's nothing anyone can do about that.

Fortunately, Yuri is used to being adaptable, and most importantly, I know some of the future developments!

"Looks like I'll have to pay Minato Namikaze a visit afterward."

-

"Are they finally going to make their move?"

While Haori was making active preparations, Hikari seemed much more relaxed, strolling around the clan grounds alone.

During the time she spent with Yuzhi, she found that she didn't seem to have much to do, because Yuzhi would handle everything.

Moreover, Yuri is a person who keeps his promises. He will do what he promises you, even if he delays it for various reasons.

But in Yuzhi's words, this is the safest and least likely to cause problems.

Now, he is basically ready to fulfill his promise—to fight Uchiha Hatake.

It can be said that Yuri is truly a reliable and trustworthy person!

"But there are so many people who think that way."

These days, Hikaru has been following Haori's advice and constantly trying to integrate into and understand the family and village.

And in the process, she heard many things about haori.

In the village, everyone praised him and told stories of his heroic deeds, making them feel that he was a reliable person.

Moreover, Yuzhi has a lot of friends, and just because he's been hanging out with Yuzhi recently, he's gotten to know all of them.

As a result, she received unexpected kindness, and everyone was happy to help her no matter what the situation was.

This kindness was somewhat unexpected to her, and she seemed to have learned a lot about how she and Yuzhi were different from each other.

What gave her a deeper understanding of haori was within her family, and these are interesting stories she often reminisces about.

"Good morning, Sister Ying!"

Just as Hikaru was pondering, a group of Uchiha children suddenly passed by her, and they all shouted happily when they saw her.

"Um?"

Guang seemed not to react for a moment, but she quickly nodded slightly.

"Good morning, are you going to school?"

Although her emotions didn't fluctuate much, she still responded when faced with a group of children, especially when the children took the initiative to greet her.

Moreover, having secretly stayed in Konoha for so long, she has gained some understanding of this world, so at least she won't make a fool of herself.

"yes."

A Uchiha boy waved his hand gently and said with a smile.

"I'll work hard and become a great hero like Brother Yuzhi!"

"Tch, you?"

"That's right, that's right!"

"I work much harder than you; I'm the one striving to become like Brother Yuzhi!"

This child's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the other children, and they started arguing.

Looking at the scene before him, Hikaru couldn't help but smile.

Although they were a bunch of unruly kids, it didn't bother her.

Perhaps because she lacked childhood memories, she felt a longing for everything in front of her, and even felt that everything was exceptionally beautiful.

However, this also shows how influential Yuzhi really is; even because of her identity as "Uchiha Hotaru," she can only reach the lower levels of society.

But as I got to know them better, I felt they were more real.

"Sister Ying, you and Brother Yuzhi are friends, right?"

Just then, a girl who hadn't been involved in the argument suddenly spoke up and asked the light.

"Of course they're friends. My mom and I often see them walking together."

This question immediately caught the attention of the other mischievous children, and one of the boys spoke up with a smile.

"That's right, my father has seen it too."

The other girl nodded, and he said with obvious envy.

"And I heard that Brother Yuzhi takes Sister Ying with him wherever he goes."

"If only I could have that chance to meet Brother Haori."

Hearing this, Guang couldn't help but tilt her head, realizing that sometimes the mischievous kids weren't so cute after all.

"That's right, our friends."

Guang nodded. There was really no point in refuting this, and they were indeed friends.

"Then, Sister Ying, can you tell us something about Brother Yuzhi?"

The girl who asked the question looked at Hikaru with anticipation, but the question left Hikaru somewhat helpless.

"Regarding the haori, I think you'd be better off asking your family members; they probably know much more than I do."

I don't know as much about haori as I do about these children's families.

She learned about Yuzhi's past through these people; in their words, they watched Yuzhi grow up.

From them, I learned a great deal about Haori's childhood.

I learned that this guy lost his parents at a young age, that he relied on the help of neighbors to get by when he was a child, and that Yuzhi's school life wasn't ideal.

In fact, Hikaru not only knew about Haori's situation, but also about Uchiha Hotaru's situation.

Because while learning about these things, an Uchiha woman said something that made Hikaru's heart tremble.

"You've changed a lot too, Ying."

You used to be quiet and reserved, and people wanted to help you, but you always refused.

We are truly happy to see how you have been influenced and changed by the haori.

"Keep it up, Yuri is a rare and trustworthy person, someone you can rely on..."

She blushed a little when she heard this, but she also grasped a key point—did even Uchiha Hotaru care about these people?

Although she was only using the identity, she learned what kind of person the girl was through Uchiha Hotaru's diary.

A person who is withdrawn, aloof, unwilling to communicate with others, keeps everything to themselves, and only records things in a diary.

Do people like this receive any concern from others?

She now seemed to understand why Yuri had named her "Uchiha Hikaru".

"Is that so?"

The little girl was a little disappointed, but she quickly smiled again.

"I heard that Sister Ying and Brother Yuzhi once fought together on the battlefield, so Sister Ying must be very powerful."

"Then, could you teach us when you're not on a mission, sister?"

The girl's words immediately brought expectant looks to the faces of all the children.

With Yuri as the "neighbor's kid," who wouldn't yearn to improve?

However, children living at the bottom of society likely have parents who are not particularly talented, and many of them are orphans.

This meant that the education they received was almost entirely limited to ninja academies, or perhaps some instruction given by other ninjas who took a liking to them.

"this."

She hesitated for a moment after hearing these words, but seeing the expectant eyes of the children, she finally nodded.

"Alright, if I have time, I'll teach you a bit, but I'm very strict."

"Thank you, Sister Ying!"

Her words immediately made all the children cheer and cheer.

Seeing how happy they were, Guang felt a little emotional, but just then a little girl suddenly took out a piece of candy.

"Sister Ying, thank you. This candy was given to me by my mother. I hope you like it."

"I have one too! I have one too!"

"Thank you, Sister Ying."

When the group of mischievous children handed her the candy, Guang was taken aback for a moment, but then she nodded and smiled as she accepted them one by one.

"Alright, you guys go to class now, don't be late, and make sure you study hard."

"But I heard that Brother Yuzhi seems to be at school."

Upon hearing Guang's words, the children muttered something unconsciously, but they still nodded happily.

"Goodbye, Sister Ying!"

"Take it easy, goodbye."

Watching the group of mischievous kids leave laughing and waving goodbye to her, Hikaru subconsciously gave them a word of advice.

After the children had all left, she looked down at the handful of candy that had been stuffed into her hands.

For a moment, her smile faded, and she slowly fell silent.

"Shisui, you seem quite distracted lately. Is something wrong?"

Inside the Uchiha clan's courtyard, Uchiha Hishin looked at Shisui, who was sitting there in a daze, and asked him a question.

Shisui is a descendant of Uchiha Kagami, who was once one of them but died young. That's why Elder Hishin adopted Shisui.

Elder Hishin was always very serious about teaching Shisui, because he saw the shadow of Kagami in Shisui.

Moreover, Shisui's talent is higher than Kagami's, since Kagami hasn't reached the three-tomoe level at this age!

"Elder, I..."

Shisui snapped out of his daze and bowed slightly respectfully. He wanted to say something, but the words caught in his throat.

"Tell me about it. It's not good to keep things bottled up inside."

Elder Jiuxin sat down next to Zhishui, a gentle smile on his face. He was genuinely concerned about Zhishui's condition.

"All right."

Shisui hesitated for a moment before speaking somewhat nervously.

"Elder, I participated in the mission to sabotage the negotiations with the Hidden Mist Village, and I had some ideas during the mission."

Even with peace talks between the village and Iwagakure, the fighting between them continues.

Furthermore, the fact that the village was able to negotiate with Iwagakure was due to the village's demonstrated strength, which forced Iwagakure to sit down at the negotiating table.

So, I'm thinking about some of our ideas.

"Who told you these things?"

Before Zhishui could finish speaking, Elder Jiuxin interrupted him.

Shisui looked up in surprise and found that Elder Jiuxin, whose face had been full of kindness, now had an unusually angry expression.

His gaze was fixed on Shisui, an expression that made Shisui feel somewhat unfamiliar.

"I forgot what you just said."

The two remained silent for a long while before Elder Jiuxin finally spoke in a cold voice.

"I know what you mean, you understand that your initial intentions were good, but you have no idea what we have been through."

We don't know what Konoha thinks of us. We are not Uchiha Setsuna, and we are certainly not Uchiha Madara!

Our beliefs will not change, and having experienced war, you should understand its cruelty.

Do you really want to see what happens on the battlefield between a family and a village?

Hearing Elder Jiuxin's words, Zhishui lowered his head slightly, as if he had realized his problem.

But now he was even more confused. He was smart, and he immediately realized from these words that there seemed to be some problems with his family and village.

But he dared not ask any more questions, because Elder Jiuxin's attitude at this moment made him feel like a stranger.

He was also thinking about something: there were problems between his family and the village, and they really needed to sit down and talk.

But just like with villages and Iwagakure, if a clan doesn't have the ability to protect itself, is such a negotiation really feasible?

"They were both too extreme."

At that moment, Yuzhi's words echoed in Shisui's ears again, and he also remembered a sentence that Yuzhi had once said to him.

"Think more. Don't believe everything you hear."

-

Time flies, and before we knew it, the day of the Uchiha Clan Assembly arrived.

In these days, public opinion surrounding Orochimaru has become increasingly uncontrollable.

Although everyone knew about it before, only ninjas dared to discuss it.

But now, with the Uchiha clan "frantically playing the victim," even ordinary people are whispering about it.

However, this incident also gave Yuzhi two pieces of information.

First, Danzo hasn't returned yet, because as soon as he came back, he immediately went to support Orochimaru.

Because his roots are gone, he needs Orochimaru to make a comeback!

Secondly, Hiruzen Sarutobi may not be ready to choose Minato Namikaze yet.

Minato Namikaze is a junior, and with Jiraiya and Tsunade still around, he hasn't even had a chance to "queue up" yet.

"So, this matter will give me a chance to discuss it with Minato Namikaze."

It's difficult to offer help in times of need, but easy to add to someone's success. However, the reverse is also true.

However, these are things to be dealt with later. His most important task right now is to deal with Fugaku Uchiha and his gang!

"But what exactly happened to Hikari?"

If we can ensure that nothing unexpected happens this time, then the role of light will be extremely important.

But in the last few days, he has increasingly noticed that Guang seems to be somewhat restless.

This is not a good thing for him; if things go wrong, it could cause a lot of trouble.

Are you alright?

Under the hazy moonlight, Haori changed into a black combat suit.

Seeing that Guang was still sitting there in a daze, he wondered what she was thinking and asked her in confusion.

"You seem a bit distracted. What are you thinking about? You can tell me."

"Nothing, just thinking about this operation."

Guang snapped out of her daze, then shook her head and stood up.

"I'm just thinking about tonight's battle, after all, I've been waiting for so long."

"Yeah?"

Haori gave Hikaru a strange look; he could naturally sense that Hikaru wasn't telling the truth.

However, he didn't ask any further questions in the end, since he could sense the malice and murderous intent that Guang harbored towards the higher-ups of this family.

As long as he doesn't cause any trouble at crucial moments, then everything will be fine.

"Okay, please tell me what's wrong. I might be able to help you, after all, we're friends."

"I know we're friends."

Guang nodded slightly, this time without adding the word "half" in her mind.

"Let's have a proper talk after we've dealt with this matter."

"Of course, no problem."

Yuzhi nodded. It would be good for them to have a good chat and let each other open up.

After all, Yuzhi never intended to destroy the entire family, and he was now curious about how well Yuzhi had integrated into the family and village.

He has been very busy during this period, so he naturally hasn't been able to pay much attention to Guang's situation.

While everything remains to be determined, we can talk to her more and find out what she's really thinking.

"Everyone, now that everyone is here, let the clan meeting begin."

The moonlight is like a song, inside the Uchiha Naga Shrine.

Looking at the group of elderly men sitting across from each other, Fugaku Uchiha spoke in a low voice.

He was in a bad mood because this clan gathering was absolutely humiliating for him.

Avoiding all the clansmen who could attend the meeting and speaking with these elders alone meant that he had to make more compromises!

Family affairs, like politics, are essentially an art of compromise.

But the difference between voluntary compromise and passive compromise is just too great; he had already anticipated that he would be taken advantage of.

What annoyed him even more was that Yuzhi actually stood him up!

Although he had realized from their last encounter that Yuri was the type of person who wouldn't act until she saw a clear benefit.

He will never believe your "loan" offer; he will only do something after seeing something tangible.

But why is this kid completely uninterested in the secrets of the Sharingan?

Isn't he a smart person?

Even if he didn't say it explicitly, he already has three tomoe, so the secret he could tell him must be information above three tomoe level!

"Is his vision limited to this alone?"

Yuzhi ignored him, and naturally he didn't get much of the information he wanted from her.

He had tried to contact other people as well, but the information he received only gave him a terrible headache.

That damned old man seems determined to take back Kakashi's Sharingan!

"Does this really mean we have to use the clan chief's authority to force this decision through?"

Although he was cursing these people in his heart, his expression remained calm, but he was secretly pondering the matter.

But he soon sighed, realizing that even the doves would find it hard to accept using the clan chief's authority in this matter.

This group was the main force opposing Madara back then.

"Since we've started, let me begin."

Uchiha Setsuna spoke first, looking at Uchiha Fugaku without any politeness, and said directly.

"This clan meeting is in response to the decision that was not passed at the clan meeting half a month ago."

Although I am unwilling to waste everyone's time, I have my reasons for insisting.

The Sharingan is the bloodline and glory of the Uchiha clan, and we cannot accept it being taken away under any circumstances.

Regardless of your thoughts, this is our bottom line, so my proposal remains unchanged.

"We must get this eye back; this is what we all hope for. We hope the clan leader can make the right decision!"

Although Uchiha Setsuna was old, his voice was still strong and powerful, and it began to echo throughout the entire shrine.

"We support Elder Shaka's proposal!"

As he finished speaking, the elders who supported him also spoke up.

Seeing this, Fugaku Uchiha frowned.

When he saw that Uchiha Hishin was standing with his eyes closed and seemingly not moving at all, his expression turned ugly.

This is clearly something he has to bear himself; any loss is only his loss, and has nothing to do with the doves!

Although he had expected it, he was still extremely displeased when he actually saw it.

He took a deep breath before slowly speaking: "Elder Sha's suggestion is very constructive, and we do need to discuss this matter carefully."

He paused slightly at this point before continuing in a more calm tone.

"However, there are some things that we must consider from a comprehensive perspective."

Especially now, at this crucial stage of the Hokage election, we cannot afford to create any further complications.

Of course, as the clan leader, I need to take care of both internal and external affairs, and I certainly won't let the clan be disgraced because of village matters.

Elder Setsuna, I think we should both compromise so that we can have a proper discussion.

Fugaku Uchiha's words practically screamed, "Just tell me what you want."

Although this was the theme of the clan gathering, he still felt extremely humiliated.

Uchiha Setsuna naturally understood why this clan meeting was for, and that was exactly what he was waiting for Uchiha Fugaku to say.

"Chieftain, we certainly have something to talk about." A victorious smile spread across his face. "We..."

But before he could finish speaking, some noise suddenly broke out outside the shrine.

And at that very moment, the shrine gate was suddenly opened, and a black figure appeared outside.

He was backlit, making his face obscured, but his crimson Sharingan eyes were exceptionally striking.

"We're here, this is it."

Bathed in the soft moonlight, in a grove of trees outside the shrine, Haori and Hikari gaze at the shrine, which is shrouded in moonlight.

Perhaps this is an important place for the clan, and many of the Uchiha ancestors are buried nearby.

So no one lives here; only the sound of the autumn wind rustling through the branches and the chirping of insects unique to autumn can be heard, making everything seem so peaceful.

Guang watched all of this quietly, no longer confused as before.

She had completely recovered to the expression she had when she first saw Yuri after she was dug out.

Such a rapid change of expression left Yuzhi only with the thought of "the evil Uchiha old devil," and she could only hope that Yuzhi wouldn't make too much of a fuss.

"Let's get started, but just so you know, don't make too much noise, understand?"

After thinking for a moment, Yuzhi still spoke up to offer a reminder.

"This is a rare opportunity. They've all gathered together, so we can take them all down in one fell swoop."

But if we attract other people and they then ask the village for help, we'll be in big trouble.

Of course, whether the village will come is a question.

But that doesn't stop Yuzhi from talking nonsense.

"I know that trusting me is the same as trusting you."

Hikaru nodded. Even if Haori hadn't said anything, she wouldn't have attracted anyone else over.

"But why don't you deal with these people outside, and I go inside and wipe them all out?"

Because I'm not sure if my mission still counts since you took them out!

Yuzhi mentally scoffed, but he still smiled and said, "Because I believe you can handle it better than I can."

"Never mind, I can't be bothered to ask you."

Hikaru glared at the haori, then jumped down and walked alone toward the shrine.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hagoromo quickly rushed towards the shrine from the other side.

The light moved at a steady pace, and she adjusted her breathing as she walked.

She closed her eyes slightly, and chakra began to slowly surge within her body.

"Who is it?"

As she reached the edge of the shrine, a group of people suddenly appeared and blocked her way.

"This is family territory, leave immediately, or we'll have no choice but to take action!"

"Wouldn't it be better to take action?"

Guang replied lightly, and in an instant her eyes opened, the three tomoe had somehow merged into one!

The eerie patterns were reflected in her eyes, and the next moment she vanished from the spot like a ghost.

Almost instantly, screams erupted one after another!

As Hikaru made his move, Hagoromo had already arrived outside the shrine.

With bloodshot eyes, he stared at the two Uchiha ninjas lying on the ground, put the kunai behind his back, and then pushed open the door and walked inside.

"Are you... Hagoromo?"

The shrine was brightly lit, and as the light gradually illuminated Haori's face, everyone could see it clearly.

Uchiha Setsuna and Uchiha Fugaku both showed surprised expressions; they were naturally very familiar with that face!

"It is I, elders and clan leaders."

Yuzhi nodded slightly, appearing harmless.

But the screams outside still echoed, and two Uchiha ninjas lay on the ground at the door, blood flowing everywhere.

However, this scene seemed particularly out of place, and it made everyone present realize what had happened!

"Haori, what are you doing?"

Uchiha Setsuna's expression turned grim. He stood up and shouted angrily.

Yuzhi is his person, and this matter was not authorized by him!

"Of course I'm doing what I'm supposed to do."

Yuzhi shook her head gently and casually closed the door.

Looking at the elders before him, each with a gloomy expression, he spoke calmly.

"Although I didn't want things to come to this, it's a pity that things don't always go as planned."

Some things have to be changed, and for change to happen, someone has to step up.

So I'm sorry, but I stepped forward.

Yuri's words were essentially a declaration of rebellion, which made Uchiha Setsuna's expression even more unpleasant.

Even after Yuki's death, he couldn't really get away with this matter.

Although Yuzhi is talented and has a certain level of strength, he is too arrogant!

Talented people often emerge, but whether that talent can be realized is always a huge question.

Such an arrogant person, no matter how talented, it's all just empty talk!

Moreover, Yuzhi's actions had an unimaginable impact on him, how could he bear it?

"I'm very disappointed in you, Hagoromo."

Uchiha Setsuna almost gritted his teeth and hissed in a low voice; he was truly furious.

"You have completely embarked on a path of no return. You and everyone else involved in this operation will pay a heavy price."

From this day forward, you are no longer a family hero; your name will only be nailed to the family's pillar of shame!

"Sorry, that happened after I lost."

Yuzhi gently shook his head, but his gaze subtly swept over his surroundings.

"Who will win and who will lose? Who can say for sure right now?"

"I'll be the one to shatter your unrealistic fantasy!"

Uchiha Setsuna roared angrily and waved his hand.

"Kill him and stop this farce!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a dark figure suddenly appeared behind Yuzhi.

The ninja sword in his hand gleamed coldly as he slashed fiercely at Yuzhi's head!

Ding--

However, as if he had sensed something, Yuri instantly flipped the kunai he had been holding in his palm, blocking the ninja sword's sneak attack almost in an instant.

The next moment, his massive chakra erupted, and his eyes instantly met those of the attacker.

The guy's body visibly stiffened slightly, and the kunai from the haori had already quietly grazed his neck!

Blood gushed from the ninja's neck instantly. The ninja clutched his neck with both hands and retreated, eventually collapsing to the ground.

"you"

Uchiha Setsuna looked somewhat surprised, and the other elders also seemed to have not expected such a scene to occur.

Those who can serve as their guardian ninjas are definitely not ordinary individuals.

How could someone like that fall under a spell simply by making eye contact with a haori?

"No need to be so surprised, Elder Setsuna."

Yu Zhi remained expressionless. He flicked the blood off his kunai, but his gaze fell on the silent Uchiha Fugaku.

"Clan leader, didn't you say you wanted to tell me a secret about the Sharingan?"

"Yes, that was the idea."

Fugaku Uchiha nodded with a grim face; he already had a bad feeling.

"The secret you really want to tell me is probably the eye above the three tomoe, isn't it?"

The sounds from the outside world continued, but the sound of the haori echoed within the shrine.

At the same time, the three tomoe in his eyes suddenly began to spin rapidly.

To everyone's astonishment, the three magatama spun faster and faster until they finally connected into one!

A cold, dark atmosphere, filled with an aura of destruction, permeated the entire shrine at this moment, while Hagoromo looked indifferently at everyone.

"I'm sorry, I actually knew this secret a long time ago."

However, I have a favor to ask of you all tonight: please witness the power of these eyes!

"Attack! Kill him now! He betrayed the Uchiha clan!"

The elders panicked the moment they saw those eyes.

They all activated their Sharingan and shouted out commands.

In an instant, the ninjas who had been hiding inside the shrine and were responsible for close protection appeared.
