Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 76 Madam, you didn't want this either. (10,000-word chapter)

"Did the haori really tell you that?"

The next day, in the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage looked at Minato Namikaze and Shikaku Nara before him, a strange expression on his face.

The two of them had told him everything they had experienced, but he still felt something was off after listening.

It wasn't surprising that Yuzhi was in charge of receiving him; this kid was capable and renowned, and had been carefully cultivated by Uchiha Setsuna.

Moreover, he received intelligence that this kid had already participated in the clan meeting and was considered an elite member of the clan.

He had some past with Minato Namikaze and provided information about the surviving members of the Uzumaki clan, making him the most suitable person to be in charge of meeting with Minato and Shikaku.

But the attitude he conveyed with those words was truly fascinating.

"Is no one going to pay their respects to Uchiha Fugaku?"

"Yes, the clan chief's residence is empty."

"That kid went to the trouble of taking you to another place when he met with you?"

"That's right, Hokage-sama."

Are you sure you haven't misunderstood him?

"We're sure."

Faced with the Third Hokage's "neurotic" and repetitive questioning, Minato and Shikaku did not get annoyed, but instead obediently cooperated in answering.

They certainly understood what was wrong with this third-generation leader; after all, they were intelligent people.

The current changes within the Uchiha clan reveal a great deal of problems, and the subsequent handling of these issues requires careful consideration.

"It seems the Uchiha situation is more interesting than I imagined..."

Having received affirmative answers from both of them, the Third Hokage quickly gathered the information in his mind and analyzed it carefully. He immediately felt that he had found the answer!

"Good riddance, Fugaku, Setsuna..."

As expected, the Uchiha clan is probably in chaos now, just as he thought.

The family is probably all vying for the position of clan leader, so who would bother to visit the original clan leader?

As for the opening of the police department, there are two possible interpretations. One is that those who are close to Konoha have gained the upper hand.

Another approach is to stabilize Konoha in this way, allowing them to continue competing internally.

But either way, it's a good thing for Konoha!

The power of the police department was too great, a fact that the Third Hokage knew even before he became Hokage.

He had asked his teacher why he did this before, and his teacher's answer was very simple.

"The Uchiha are the Uchiha of Konoha. I hate them because they are prone to extremes, and also because of Uchiha Madara."

Even now, the Third Hokage can still recall that afternoon when he was in the Hokage's office discussing things with his teacher.

"It's easy to take them down. Just spread rumors to make them hostile to the village, and then create some trouble."

This way, they can be completely isolated, and everyone in Konoha will hate them. Then they will come out on their own.

I don't need to take any responsibility to wipe them all out. The Uchiha clan now is not the same as the Uchiha clan of the past.

The third generation still agreed with what the teacher said.

Because the Uchiha clan members are all mentally unstable, and they don't even have Uchiha Madara anymore.

"If I were Tobirama Senju, I might do that, but as the Second Hokage, I need to consider things from the village's perspective."

The ninja world is in turmoil. The Uchiha clan is very powerful, and their power can protect this village, so I will make use of it.

Moreover, granting the police force what appears to be expanding their power is also exploiting their character weaknesses.

Compromise doesn't always mean backing down; a hardline approach should always be a last resort. You still have a long way to go.

These words have been etched in the mind of the third generation ever since, and he still takes them out to savor them to this day.

Because the principles contained within are not just applicable to the Uchiha clan.

But to his dismay, the road ahead is still very long.

He is truly inferior to his teacher, both in terms of magnanimity and skill.

"But now I have that opportunity too!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stroked his chin and suddenly laughed.

"Since the Uchiha want people, let's cooperate with them. What do you say, Shikaku?"

"this"

Nara Shikaku almost couldn't hold back, but he finally nodded helplessly.

"I know, I will cooperate with them."

"Thank you for your hard work, Shikaku."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction, then continued.

"Minato, you've had quite a bit of contact with Haori. What are your feelings towards him?"

"Haori-kun is a very intelligent, excellent, trustworthy, and warm-hearted person."

Minato Namikaze thought for a moment, then gave it a very high rating.

"Well, although I know he has a good reputation, I'd still like to learn more about him."

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment before speaking.

"I'll leave this to you, Minato. If he encounters any difficulties, you can also keep a note of it."

Of course, the main focus is still on understanding, understand?

Upon hearing these words, Minato Namikaze's mind stirred slightly, as if he had realized something.

"I understand, Hokage-sama."

"Alright, thank you for your hard work. I think you still have work to do, so I won't keep you here to chatter on."

"Then we'll take our leave, Hokage-sama."

Minato and Shikaku both bowed slightly, then turned and left the office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat there pondering for a while before finally speaking.

"If possible, try to find out about Yuzhi's current situation. I remember he was one of Uchiha Setsuna's men."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

A voice suddenly rang out from a corner of the office.

"In addition, make sure that the whole village talks about the 'Uchiha infighting and the sudden death of the clan leader'."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

As the conversation ended, the Hokage's office fell silent once more.

Hiruzen Sarutobi leaned back in his chair, looking out the window, and couldn't help but smile.

"Good riddance, Fugaku, Setsuna."

Perhaps because he knew it wasn't appropriate to say it that way, his voice sounded unusually soft.

"Regardless of how you died, your deaths are greater than all your contributions in a lifetime."

-

"You're really bored. It's one thing to gouge out other people's eyes, but to stare at them like that isn't disgusting at all."

At Yuri's house, just looking at Yuri sitting there, seemingly lost in thought, she couldn't help but complain a little.

Although she was indeed a little angry yesterday, after all, anyone would feel bad if they found out they had been lied to by a friend.

But she wasn't an unreasonable person. After some thought, she realized something.

The haori was helping her, and in doing so, it was also helping herself.

Yuzhi probably didn't have the power he has now back then; he needed his own strength to eliminate the culprits behind the Uchiha clan's downfall.

If he hadn't said that, I wouldn't have been able to compromise in the slightest.

Thinking back on it carefully, when he rescued me that night, I really didn't have much ability to resist.

She was even sealed away by Yuzhi. If Yuzhi had any ill intentions, given his actions last night, her eyes would have already been gouged out.

But Yuzhi didn't. Instead, she chose to save her, pulling her back from the abyss of darkness.

Not only did she experience the taste of "friendship" through her own actions, but she was also subtly influenced to gradually find the "light" that she had always longed for in her heart.

After thinking these things through, the light's intensity had mostly dissipated.

At that time, Yuzhi had already left home, which made her feel a little regretful.

Why should I be angry?

She secretly vowed to herself that she would never do it again.

Even after spending time together, she knew that Yuzhi's personality wouldn't care about these things.

But after being rescued and going through all that, she completely considers Yuri her friend.

What frustrated her was that Yuzhi didn't seem to care about those things and ate the dinner she had carefully prepared.

But this guy kept staring blankly into a pair of eyes, which was very strange.

"These eyes belong to Fugaku Uchiha."

Upon hearing Hikaru's words, Haori couldn't help but smile and reply.

"You know, these eyes are kaleidoscopes, of course I'd be interested."

"You do have them too."

Guang tilted his head slightly before continuing.

"And don't you find it disgusting? What use are those people's eyes to you?"

"It seems those evil old Uchiha devils didn't give you much material to study back then."

Upon hearing this, Yui couldn't help but laugh, while Hikaru frowned.

The evil Uchiha old devil?

Suddenly, her expression turned somewhat displeased; it seemed that what Yuzhi said made no problem.

However, even after spending a long time with Yuzhi, she would subconsciously overlook some things.

But when Yuzhi said that, it seemed like she was being insulted as well?

"I will not only take these eyes, but you must also keep some on your person."

Yuzhi seemed to realize that he had said something inappropriate, and he immediately changed the subject with a forced smile.

"For the Uchiha, we actually have some very special techniques, and these techniques can only be activated with the Sharingan."

"Then why don't I just use my own eyes?"

Although Hikari still remembered what Haori had said, she also asked in response.

"No, that's only done as a last resort, because using the eyes would result in complete blindness."

"So demanding? What are the results?"

"It is possible to turn things that happen to you in a certain period of time into things that never happened, and only choose things that are beneficial to you to make a reality."

Simply put, if you are attacked by an enemy and are certain to die, you can use this technique to reverse reality and revive yourself, at a cost.

"It's our eyes?"

Hikari was stunned for a moment, especially when she saw Haori nod, she was even more shocked.

Does your family possess such a technique?

She genuinely didn't know these things. After all, after she accidentally opened her eyes, besides rigorous combat training, she was constantly brainwashed into admitting that she was a weapon.

In other aspects, the Uchiha clan didn't teach her anything, or rather, they never even considered teaching her.

After a long pause, she finally spoke again: "You're giving me something so important?"

"What's so strange about it? If you ask me anything, the answer is simple."

As if he had guessed what she was going to say, Yuzhi spoke up in advance.

"Because you are my friend and the person I trust most."

When he's not insane, he's indeed trustworthy.

"Besides, whether you like it or not, from a bloodline perspective, we are family."

Yuzhi shrugged and continued smiling.

"Of course, there are different levels of closeness within a family, but I think we are one of the closer ones."

Friends and family

Guang murmured softly. In her memory, she had lost her family a long time ago, and that was how she opened her eyes.

Since then, she has had no friends and has never experienced the care of family.

There is no doubt that Yuri is her friend, and in terms of blood, they are indeed family!

Family?

After a long while, Guang finally smiled.

"I understand, thank you, Haori."

"Don't mention it. Like I said, we're not just friends, we're family."

Yuzhi smiled and replied softly.

It's not easy to evolve from a "friends' hero" to a "family hero," but he managed to do it nonetheless.

Family members are much closer than friends. Although he also takes a hard line against his "family," as he said, there are degrees of closeness.

Clearly, compared to other family members, Guang was more trustworthy to him, after all, he was the one who dug him up himself...

"However, it's a bit of a shame that this kaleidoscope is missing."

Guang nodded, then focused his attention back on the pair of kaleidoscopes.

"Use them to perform..."

"Izanagi.

"It's such a waste to use Izanagi. Do you remember I told you that eye techniques can be transplanted?"

So I suggest you look into your family's records. If the pupil technique in these eyes suits you, maybe...

I don't know if it was after evolving into "Family Hero" that Hikaru trusted me even more.

She actually brought up the matter on her own initiative, but her expression became serious.

"However, I need to remind you that pupil transplantation is an extremely painful procedure."

Such pain is unbearable for ordinary people. If you find the information, I hope you will think it over carefully.

Upon hearing Hikaru's words, Haori's smile faded.

To be honest, the idea of ​​transplanting pupils sounds outrageous.

Moreover, he kept wondering why no one else in the family, except for Guang, had done this.

After much thought, he came up with only a few answers.

First, in order to transplant a kaleidoscope, one must possess a kaleidoscope.

Secondly, Yui, who had obtained the eye technique for transplantation, knew that once the kaleidoscope was transplanted, her pair of kaleidoscopes would probably be ruined.

This is not a "transfer seal" that seals the eye power and eye technique into another eye, but rather a complete transfer of an eye technique.

Such costs are frighteningly high, and in addition, the Uchiha clan themselves didn't awaken more than a few pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan afterward.

Such skills have fallen into obscurity, and coupled with what Guang said about "extraordinary pain," this is why the current situation has arisen.

"Is that so?"

Yuzhi stroked his chin; he was now somewhat hesitant.

But when he thought of the pupil technique contained in those eyes, his gaze became firm again.

"Thank you for reminding me. Actually, I have already found the technique for transplanting pupil techniques, and I have also examined the pupil techniques within these eyes."

This is a technique that suits me well, and it suits us well too. It has the ability to predict fragments of the future under specific conditions.

With this technology, I think our upcoming experiments will become much easier, and this is also related to our future.

Yuzhi had deep doubts about the Uchiha's medical and scientific research capabilities. These guys who were obsessed with physics, how could they possibly do any good research?

Clearly, Yuzhi didn't have a high opinion of them at all. In that case, she might as well use her eye technique to predict the future.

At least it can help you eliminate the wrong options.

"You've already obtained it?"

Guang was somewhat surprised, but she quickly came to her senses.

"So, you're hesitating about whether or not to use it?"

"Yes, but it's confirmed now."

Yuzhi didn't deny it; he nodded slightly and then said jokingly.

"After all, we're supposed to share the good times and the bad. You've endured it, so naturally I can't be left behind."

If I can't use my eyes for a while, I'll have to rely on you to protect them.

"No, your eyes can be used normally."

Guang shook his head and directly recounted his experience.

"There will be some discomfort after the pain, but it will not affect the normal use of the eyes."

Of course, if you really can't use it for the time being, I will protect you.

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

Yuzhi nodded, then his gaze returned to those eyes.

He was initially worried that Guang would be unhappy, since it could very well remind her of unpleasant memories.

But now that she's brought it up herself, Yuzhi naturally has nothing to worry about anymore.

Moreover, he also obtained enough information from the light, which gave him ample mental preparation.

"Having had this technique for so long, I finally have a chance to use it. It's really something."

Yuzhi chuckled self-deprecatingly; he had indeed had this ability for quite some time.

After all, he didn't even have the Mangekyou Sharingan back then, but now he can finally try out this ability that was almost lost in the Uchiha clan.

She quickly formed hand seals, and her chakra began to surge.

Moreover, as he formed hand seals, his eyes involuntarily transformed into a kaleidoscope.

His hand quickly placed on Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, and in an instant, those eyes also turned into a kaleidoscope.

The patterns on his eyes began to slowly rotate, and his eyes did the same.

Slowly, a special power began to flow through Yuki's body into his own eyes.

At that moment, he felt something being forcibly stuffed into his eyes.

And at that moment, he felt something explode in his brain, and an indescribable pain instantly assaulted him!

"what!"

Even though Yuri was prepared, he still couldn't help but scream when he suddenly felt such extreme and indescribable pain.

The pain was far more severe than he had imagined.

Uchiha, the clan head's residence.

Mikoto Uchiha, dressed in a black kimono, sat at home in an unusually quiet setting.

She really didn't expect that misfortune would come crashing down on her so uncontrollably!

Although Fugaku Uchiha never talked to her about clan matters, she never inquired about them after their marriage.

But she also knew that her husband was having headaches and worries about matters within the clan.

Moreover, she had heard Fugaku Uchiha complain about the elders more than once, but she never thought things would develop to this point!

"Why did it turn out like this...?"

She kept asking herself these questions, but unfortunately she never got an answer, and she knew one thing very well.

The death of her husband was definitely not due to a disagreement that led to murder, resulting in both of them dying together!

Not only would she not believe it, but the other members of her tribe would not believe it either.

However, the final result was that this propaganda was used both within and outside the clan.

This has arguably brought Fugaku Uchiha's reputation to its lowest point!

"They don't investigate how he died, they don't even let him go after he's dead, and besides..."

Looking at the deserted clan chief's mansion, Mikoto's unease began to grow.

Apart from those who followed Fugaku Uchiha, no one else came to pay their respects.

No one discussed matters concerning the future clan leader with her; they seemed to have been completely forgotten.

Even though everything was as everyone had described, this way of handling things made her understand.

I'm afraid some people have designs on the clan leader!

"If I'm ignored like this for a few more months, I might just hang myself."

The struggles within the family are cruel, and Mikoto Shin has always known this.

But in the past, at least there were people to keep them in check, and with consideration for their own kind, the losers could at least leave with dignity.

But now the clan chief and elders are dead, and the order within the clan has changed drastically.

The Uchiha clan has a history of fierce internal strife, and many have paid the ultimate price for it.

The environment they are in now is extremely harsh!

"We can't just sit here and wait to die; we have to think of something."

Mikoto was thinking rapidly, but just then she suddenly saw Itachi come out, and she immediately composed herself.

She couldn't show any anxiety in front of the child, even though Itachi looked exceptionally mature.

"Itachi, you're up so early?"

"Yes, Mother, I'm going to training now."

Uchiha Itachi remained as aloof as ever, and his emotions were remarkably calm.

She seemed completely unaffected by her father's death.

"I'll be starting school soon, and I want to practice more now so I can get better grades when I enroll."

Is that so?

Mikoto pursed her lips. She really didn't want Itachi to go out because she was worried that her son might also encounter some accident.

However, she finally sighed. At least they were still being given the cold shoulder, which meant they were safe.

"Be careful, Itachi."

"I understand, Mother."

Itachi nodded slightly, without saying much.

He didn't intend to tell his mother what he had seen; he only had one thought—to solve everything himself.

He seems to have more thoughts on the meaning of life now. Although Orochimaru said that life is meaningless, no one really wants to die.

To make everything meaningful, you need a goal, and now he has one.

He will have his own methods, his own actions, and his own thoughts to accomplish all of this!

"well"

Watching Itachi's departing figure, Mikoto couldn't help but sigh.

She always felt that the child had changed somewhat, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

This child has been scheming since he was little. Although he is very talented, he doesn't seem to have any of the qualities a child should have.

However, Mikoto didn't intend to think about it anymore; she needed to figure out how to solve the current problem.

"We absolutely cannot sustain all of this with Fugaku's former followers."

Mikoto calmly thought that although Fugaku Uchiha had many supporters in the past, they were not of high status.

Right now, the greatest control within the clan probably lies with the followers of those two elders.

Those people are the ones who can participate in the clan meeting; they are the true elite of the clan!

But when she thought of them, Mikoto couldn't help but shake her head.

Because they are elites, they probably have more ideas, and they followed the elders in the first place, while Fugaku Uchiha never explicitly supported any elder.

This used to be a very effective means of maintaining balance and consolidating the power of the clan leader, but now it is fatal!

"What should I do?"

Mikoto felt utterly helpless, repeatedly pondering who among these people could be trusted.

But after thinking it over, she realized that there really wasn't anyone she could trust!

"Wait, there seems to be someone there."

Just when Mikoto was in the most despair, she suddenly thought of someone.

This person had met with Fugaku Uchiha some time before the major changes in his clan.

This person has a good reputation both in Konoha and in his clan; even his good friend Kushina mentioned him last night.

Although he was still young, Mikoto had heard from Fugaku Uchiha that he was already old enough to participate in clan gatherings.

She had also heard that although he was Elder Setsuna's subordinate, he and Uchiha Fugaku also had some issues.

But recent encounters have proven that he is not so docile; in the words of Fugaku Uchiha—

"His personality may be related to his experiences; only tangible benefits can sway him."

It's obvious that this person is Yuzhi!

Mikoto doesn't actually like people like Hagoromo who only focus on practical benefits, but at this stage, he seems to be the only one who is relatively reliable.

After all, Yuzhi is the youngest. If there really is some "insider information" involved in this matter, someone his age shouldn't be involved at all.

Driven by self-interest, how could anyone else possibly give up the meat they were about to eat for a child?

"Should I go find him? But what can I offer in return?"

However, having an idea is one thing, but knowing how to do it is another.

Nominally, she was still the clan chief's wife, but in reality, she herself didn't know what substantial things she could still obtain from the clan.

"Wait a minute, there seems to be something he might be interested in?"

In an instant, Mikoto remembered something: she recalled that Fugaku Uchiha had once said he wanted to give Haori a secret.

Mikoto didn't know what the secret was, but she decided to take a gamble!

After all, Yuzhi didn't investigate the secret, which gave her the opportunity.

If she succeeds, and with Yuzhi's protection ensuring her safety, she can bring out all the things she has collected at home.

"It seems I need to go see him."

-

"Why do you have to be so stubborn? I told you before that it wouldn't feel good."

In Haori's house, Hikaru knelt on the floor, rested Haori's head on his lap, and gently massaged his temples.

Yuzhi, on the other hand, had her eyes tightly closed, her face stained with blood, and her expression showed lingering fear.

The pain of transplanting the pupil technique was unimaginable; the intrusion of that power made him feel as if his brain was about to explode.

Not only his brain, but also his eyes were in immense pain.

To be honest, he really wished he could just pass out at that moment, but obviously he absolutely couldn't.

With no one to help him transplant his pupil technique, he could only grit his teeth and persevere on his own.

After all, if this matter were to be interrupted, Fugaku Uchiha's eyes would be ruined, and his own eyes might also be damaged!

Moreover, as forces not belonging to him continued to pour in, his eyes began to suffer and some negative reactions appeared.

Blood kept oozing from the corner of his eye. If his vision hadn't remained unchanged, he would have thought there was something wrong with his eyes.

He himself didn't know how much time had passed before it all finally stopped.

Anyway, after all of this was over, he felt extremely weak, and the indescribable pain continued to linger in his mind.

He has been resting until now and is finally feeling better. Although the discomfort still occurs, it no longer affects him too much.

"I can't let you go through that pain again. Didn't I say I'd share your joys and sorrows?"

Yuri opened his eyes, revealing crimson Sharingan eyes, and said jokingly.

He did want to shut down his Sharingan, but unfortunately he couldn't do it right now.

Moreover, his eyes were still a little swollen, clearly indicating that his eyes were still adjusting to the transplanted power.

"loquacious."

Guang shook her head. Although she knew the guy was joking, she still felt comfortable hearing his words.

"Your condition may last for a day or two. I remember it took me a day or two to recover."

"Just a day or two? That's fine."

Yuzhi nodded. It wasn't a big deal if she couldn't shut down her Sharingan for a day or two.

Although the sudden deaths of Fugaku Uchiha and the elders plunged the clan into some chaos.

Fortunately, he acted quickly, using both intimidation and a pie-sharing strategy to win over the family's elites.

With them around, there shouldn't be any problems for the time being, whether within the clan or the police department.

"However, once I've recovered, I'll need to keep an eye on the police department, and I'll also need to pay a visit to Minato Namikaze."

The Uchiha clan has not yet publicly announced the appointment of a clan leader, and Hagoromo, as the de facto clan leader, needs to maintain his previous demeanor.

Furthermore, he remembered that he needed to participate in the Jonin Exams, which was also very important.

Although the clan members wouldn't care too much about this, after all, Yuzhi had already proven her strength with her actions.

But Yuzhi didn't want to keep holding the title of Chunin any longer; he wanted to become a Jonin so that it wouldn't be so embarrassing to say it out loud.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing that Hagoromo seemed a little distracted, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I'm thinking about the Jonin Exams."

Yuzhi gave a casual reply, then she asked with a smile.

"Speaking of which, Uchiha Hotaru is also a Chunin. Why don't we take the Jonin exam together?"

"Jonin?"

Hikari wasn't particularly sensitive to such things, but she did know that it seemed to be a symbol of identity for Konoha ninjas.

Although she didn't care, since Yuzhi was planning to participate, she wouldn't mind accompanying her.

"Okay, let's go together."

"Then I'll have someone recommend you."

Yuzhi smiled and nodded; this was really no problem for him right now.

"Oh, right, I want to give you something."

She seemed to have regained some energy, but Yuzhi, who was still lying on her lap, didn't rush to leave. Instead, she thought for a moment before speaking.

"Give me something?" Haori blinked, asking curiously, "What is it?"

"Yes"

"Excuse me, is Haori-kun home?"

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a woman's voice, which made her frown slightly.

Yuzhi sat up and looked curiously toward the door.

He vaguely recognized the voice; it seemed to be Uchiha Mikoto's.

"Why is she here?"

Yu Zhi's expression was somewhat strange. He was still thinking about when to meet this "widow" so that he could complete his mission.

To his surprise, the other party came to him on their own initiative before he even went there.

Moreover, he hadn't even figured out how to deal with this "widow".

Should I tell her the truth, or lie to her?

After thinking it over, Yuzhi decided it was better to tell the truth.

You can't fool someone forever.

He didn't believe in the idea of ​​feelings developing over time; he was afraid that the other person might be enduring humiliation and then take advantage of his relaxation to cause trouble.

Telling her directly will also keep you alert at all times.

And if you explain the reasons clearly and guarantee that she is alive, that should be enough.

"Anyway, I'll take care of you, just don't get into any trouble."

With this in mind, Yuzhi made a decision: although it was cruel, a short pain was better than a long one.

"I'm going to be the bad guy."

Yuri pursed her lips. Fortunately, Mikoto also had her own weakness, and with that weakness, she really couldn't cause too much damage.

"Do you know who's outside?"

Hikari was still a little annoyed at being interrupted, so she turned around and looked at Hagoromo and asked.

"Yes, my clan chief's wife."

Yuzhi nodded, then smiled and said.

"I don't know what she wants to see me about, but I think it would be better to meet her."

"Should I avoid this?"

"Whatever you want, but this time I'm going to be the bad guy."

"While I admit you're a nice person, you've never been a good person."

"."

Haori glared at Hikaru, then simply went to guard the door.

"Madam, what brings you here?"

Looking at Uchiha Mikoto in her black kimono, Yuri inexplicably recalled many of the adult films she had seen before her transmigration.

However, he quickly shook his head and greeted the former clan chief's wife with a smile.

"Haori-kun, please forgive my intrusion."

Upon hearing Yuori's address, Mikoto immediately realized that Yuori definitely knew something, which put her in a bit of a predicament.

Seeing that Yuzhi kept her Sharingan open made her even more worried.

But since she was already there, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue.

"Please come in, Madam, it's no disturbance."

Yuri maintained her smile and then let Uchiha Mikoto in.

But when they came in, Yuzhi found that the light was gone. After sensing it for a moment, he realized that the light had simply been hidden.

"That's quite thoughtful."

Yuri muttered something under her breath before smiling at Uchiha Mikoto.

"I'm sorry, my living conditions are not good. Please don't mind."

"It's alright, it's the family that has mistreated Yuzhi-kun."

Mikoto glanced at Yuori's house and sighed inwardly. She seemed to understand why Yuori was so focused on practical benefits.

"May I ask what brings you to see me this time, Madam?"

Seeing that Mikoto was seated, Haori didn't stand on ceremony and asked directly.

"Haori-kun, I came here with no ill intentions."

Mikoto stared into Haori's eyes and said softly.

"I came here this time only to ask you some questions, and at the same time I hope to fulfill one of Fugaku's last wishes."

"Oh?"

Yuzhi tilted his head and asked curiously.

"I wonder what Madam wishes to know, and what were the last wishes of the Fugaku clan head?"

"Does Haori-kun still remember what Fugaku discussed with you before?"

Seeing that Haori showed no intention of closing her Sharingan, Mikoto could only continue speaking helplessly.

"Of course I remember."

Yuri nodded, finding it somewhat amusing. He didn't need to ask what secret Fugaku Uchiha wanted to give him.

Now it seems that Mikoto Uchiha is using this as leverage to come to me. Could it be that she's here to seek refuge?

The thought of this possibility made Yuzhi momentarily lose her composure.

They really are birds of a feather flock together. How come they always manage to find the culprit when they're looking for someone?

"Haori-kun, I hope to fulfill Fugaku's last wish, but at the same time, I also hope to learn about some things."

Mikoto had no idea what Haori was thinking. She took a deep breath and said very seriously.

"Don't you find it strange, Yui-kun? Why would the clan leader and elders do something like this? It's obviously impossible!"

Moreover, afterwards, everyone slandered the clan leader, which definitely indicates a serious problem.

Yuri-kun, as the future and hope of the clan, I implore you to support the legitimate line of the Uchiha.

Even though you, Hagoromo-kun, are worried about the situation, my only wish is that you can protect Itachi, and I'm willing to pay any price for that.

Mikoto has thought it through. From the tone of Haori's voice after he entered the room, and the fact that he kept his Sharingan open, it's clear that he has probably made some decisions.

However, when it comes to negotiations, the smartest approach is to offer two conditions: one that others may find difficult to accept, and the other that they can accept more easily.

Mikoto's goal was naturally the second one; she only hoped that Haori could protect her child.

"You really are a good mother."

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi's expression turned somewhat strange, as the image of Itachi Uchiha killing his parents flashed through his mind.

She shook her head, and then suddenly laughed.

"At all costs, Madam, you've really gone to great lengths. As for the situation you want to know about, it's actually quite simple."

After the clan chief and elders died, everyone who could participate in the clan council began to organize discussions on how to deal with the crisis.

Everyone understands one thing: the clan leader is incompetent, and so are the elders.

At this point, Hagoromo paused slightly, and continued speaking amidst Mikoto's astonished gaze.

"We've never understood one thing: why would the clan chief support the so-called two factions and allow them to fight each other within the clan?"

What appears to be an attempt to maintain balance has actually led to a division within the family, even turning the two sides into complete strangers. Do you think this is appropriate?

"."

Mikoto's face was pale; she already had a bad feeling.

"With such indulgence, the elders intensified their power struggles within the clan, their ideologies became increasingly extreme, and the clan divisions became more and more severe."

Do you think a family like this has any future? Isn't their current "mutual destruction" the best possible outcome?

"Haori-kun"

Mikoto's worst fears have come true, but she didn't expect that the youngest member, Haori, seems to be involved as well!

"Also, I think Lady Mikoto should know how Fugaku's father and his generation came to be the clan head."

If he can do it, why can't others?

At this moment, Mikoto seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

She quickly activated her Sharingan, her body tensing as she warily stared at the haori before her.

"Don't make futile struggles; they're pointless."

Yuzhi gently shook his head. Although his eyes were still a little uncomfortable, it didn't bother him anymore.

At that moment, the three tomoe in his scarlet eyes spun rapidly, and he slowly spoke.

"Actually, I'm very curious. Do you really know what secret Fugaku Uchiha wants to tell me?"

Perhaps you're gambling, but I can tell you the answer now: the secret he wants to exchange is the Mangekyou Sharingan.

But unfortunately, I now have these eyes.

Almost instantly, the three tomoe in his eyes merged into one, and a chilling aura instantly spread throughout the room.

The suffocating feeling was pounding through Mikoto's mind, and she now had a terrifying idea.

"Could it be that he did it? Only the Mangekyou Sharingan could accomplish all this silently!"

Unfortunately, she couldn't speak at all; her whole body was stiff, and she could only stare straight at the haori.

Yuzhi stood up, walked slowly to her, and after a while, he smiled and said.

"Don't worry, you'll get everything you want. We never intended to do anything to you from the beginning."

Your husband deserved what he got, even though it's cruel to you.

But I hope you can calmly think about what what he did means for the entire family.

And don't forget, you also have Uchiha blood flowing through your veins.

Main quest completed: He can be replaced.

[Rewards are being tallied]

Upon seeing this message, Yu Zhi was immediately invigorated. The mission was already completed? Could it be because she had told Uchiha Mikoto the truth?

Yu Zhi was a little confused for a moment, but he was in a very good mood. The main quest was completed, which meant that he would have a very high reward!

Looking at the tearful Uchiha Mikoto before him, Haori suddenly seemed to remember something, and then he slowly spoke.

"Madam, forget about him. Even without this incident, the discontent within the family has already reached its peak."

Whether it's him or those elders, their fates are the same. Just live well, and I can guarantee you'll be perfectly safe.

And forget about today's events. You don't want your child to be affected by that dead man, do you?

After revising it for a long time and thinking about it for a long time, I still think it's better to let Misaka know.

You can't fool people forever. If he commits suicide, that would be a real pain. Although he's probably full of hatred right now, at least we can teach him a lesson.
